the rest, only noise

Chapter 398 Season Premiere of the New Knicks
Benjamin Wilson scored in the first quarter.

Fans will be surprised because he neither scored nor shot.

Because the Knicks' starters haven't realized that he has an absolute matchup advantage at this point.

The Sonics' three frontcourt lineup makes their rotation defense very bad, and the Knicks, who mainly play the N.UCLA system, are most afraid of your frontcourt advantage.

When Louie found out that Wilson hadn't integrated into the team's offensive system, he replaced Benj after 4 minutes of the game.

Early in the second quarter, he put Benj on the field again, with Hornacek, Dell Curry, Oakley, and Ball.

A full bench lineup, and in the transition period, the Knicks lineup is Stockton, Ellis, Rodman, Oakley and Ewing.

The starting and connecting lineups gave the Knicks a 16-point lead at the start.

In the second quarter, Hornacek made the ball flexibly, allowing Wilson to start to shine.

When Wilson was in college, his advantage was his height of 203 cm, arms like octopus arms, extremely high shooting point, delicate finger feeling, McGrady's ball feel and explosive power, speed, coordination, and rhythm. He can shoot from any position within 8 meters from the basket.

In the past summer, in addition to gaining weight, he also conducted special training on personal skills.

He's faster, taller, smarter, and if you give him a step, he'll be shooting jumpers over your opponent's head.

He is currently out of the system because he runs less and doesn't trust the strength of Stockton, the baker.

When Hornacek came up, he didn't need him to move, just feed him the ball directly.

He began to use his dazzling individual talent to single-point blast the Sonics' defense.

In those 4 minutes, Wilson took 10 shots and hit 6 goals, including a McGrady-like outside three-pointer, scoring 14 points.

The cries of "Benj" continued to ring out in MSG.

Hornacek has shown his natural adaptability at point guard.

He is very good at playing for core players like Benj. When Benj is playing well and forcing the opponent to pinch, Hornacek's ability to grasp the open space can create more singles opportunities for him.

Oakley knows what his job is, and he focuses on covering Benj, and the pick-and-roll is always around Benj.

Dell Curry's performance was suppressed by Wilson and Hornacek, and he didn't have many chances.

Ball slapped 3 caps in those few minutes.

By the time the other four starters returned to the field, the Knicks had a 24-point lead.

What's surprising isn't the dominance of the Knicks' starting lineup, but the immediate combat power of this year's class of 86, which seems to be stronger than last year's class of 85.

Wilson came up with an offensive core style of play, relying on heads-up to send the game into garbage time.

Hornacek looked like a little Stockton.

Rodman and Sely are both long-armed and long-legged Spider-Man defenders. The former has shown potential in rebounding and support in addition to defense, while the latter's height and agility that does not match his height are amazing.

Curry was the only player who didn't show much of himself.

Before the end of the three quarters, the Knicks have already led the Sonics by 32 points.

Even, they could let Song Tao play in the end.

When Song Tao entered the court, Albert yelled: "Girls and gentlemen, let's applaud the first Chinese player in NBA history—SONGGGG~~~TAO!!!"

The people in Madison Garden showed a curious psychology towards Song Tao that confused Louis.

He had this feeling before, and the American fans also reacted in the same way when the four-character Ding went to the Summer League.

It's just that Americans at that time were purely interested in four-character names.The performance of Si Zi Ding also exceeded their expectations, so there was an interesting story where all the Americans shouted the name of Si Zi Ding.

Song Tao, it's like seeing the alien ET playing for the Knicks.

Louis patted Song Tao's shoulder. He originally wanted to slap his butt, but because the latter must not be used to being slapped, he didn't do it.

"Multiple and the defenders hit Empty Lob (Empty Lob/Empty Lob), let go of it!" Louie encouraged.

Song Tao hummed a few times, and Louis asked Hornacek to make some balls for Song Tao.

Song Tao himself is also up to the mark, the quality of the pick-and-roll screen is good, and the cutting feels good, and the supersonic defensive response is really bad. They put up a big lineup, but only one big character stands out. The big lineup has all the problems and has almost no advantages.

The Empty Lob of the Knicks is accurate one by one.

Song Tao received three dunks in a row.

"SONG! SONG! SONG!"

The fans screamed with excitement.

All 13 players on the Knicks activation list got the chance to play.

Moreover, Stockton, who played the most minutes, only played 26 minutes, which was lower than the playing time set by Louis.

Because the supersonic was vulnerable, it was quickly defeated.

In the fourth quarter, Louie let several main players come up to score some points and then replaced them. The Supersonics assumed the posture of lying down and being ravaged. The Knicks scored 137 points in a single game, but he only scored 88 points.

"I didn't expect to lose 58 points." Louie complained.

Zhao Yuanzheng asked: "Coach, you beat Dallas by 81 points, why do you care about 58 points today?"

"No, it's just emotion, you don't know, when I beat coach Motta by 81 points, the scene was quite 'intense'."

"I know!" Zhao Yuanzheng said happily, "Larry Bird also won $3000 from you."

Louis was surprised: "You know all about this?"

"Rudy told me." Zhao Yuanzheng smiled.

It is the most difficult to guard against traitors by day and night.

Rudy, Rudy, can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing?Do you want to lose his image of being wise and martial?What does it mean he lost $3000 to Bird?Doesn't that mean he pays the redneck $3000 for Bird's hard work in helping him?

In the whole game, 8 Knicks scored in double figures.

Only Wilson scored more than 20 points.

其他人，如尤因14分11篮板2助攻3盖帽、斯托克顿12分16助攻4抢断、艾利斯19分、麦克海尔18分8篮板3助攻——最离谱的10分是宋韬。他打了6分钟，5中5，全是扣篮。

The most intuitive impression of the Knicks' game tonight is that they are aggressive on both ends of the offense and defense.

The defense can kill people, and the offense is as smooth as a PLA in a square formation. Even if the offense cannot be opened for a few rounds occasionally, you can still find a one-on-one player to solve it.

They have McHale inside and Wilson outside.

Ewing went down and came up with a Pol.

Ball went down, and Rodman and Sely fully threatened the basket protection in the penalty area.

Supersonics head coach Bernie Bickerstaff was shocked by the Knicks' performance: "Although we lost by 49 points, I think the Knicks showed mercy. Their starters only played 26 minutes at most. The reason why the point difference became so big is their lineup depth."

"This is the magic of Little Lu. He was a discerning scout when he was in Boston. Now that he came to New York, he changed two lineups in two years and used a large number of young players. Last year's '85 Animal Class' and this year's '86 Future Class' are all expected."

At the press conference after the game, Louie took Ewing, Stockton and Wilson to attend.

After one game, the three of them seem to have a lot of energy left. After all, Stockton and Ewing, who played the most minutes, only played 26 minutes and 25 minutes, and Wilson only had 24 minutes.

When a reporter asked Louie if anyone would complain about such an arrangement of playing time, he replied: "Your doubts are reasonable. This is also the characteristic of our Knicks. The team is full of young players. They have just signed contracts and have not yet considered the next one. I am committed to building a selfless and united team. Not a single point in the first five minutes."

"When two of the best players on the team sacrifice the most, no one else can complain," Louie laughs. "I guess I should say thank you to Patrick and Benj."

Next, the question came from one of Louie's most distasteful New York reporters, The Times' Bill Wallace.

As a New York reporter, he asked Ewing and Wilson in front of him: "Patrick, are you dissatisfied with Benj's arrival?"

In fact, Ewing's displeasure started when he asked the question.

"Why do you ask that?" Ewing asked San Lian, "Why do you think I'm dissatisfied? Why am I dissatisfied?"

Wallace said confidently: "Because Benj's economic team took away a lot of advertising resources that should have belonged to you, it is reported that you once got angry about it."

"You are such a bad reporter!" Ewing was furious, "You should investigate thoroughly before asking questions, instead of asking me to answer a bunch of things that don't exist!"

Although Ewing made Louie happy by doing this, he couldn't let Ewing's low EQ become the norm.

Louis restrained Ewing who was about to run away and said: "Patrick, don't be angry, you have to know that the Times has always been like this."

Louie pointed to a New York Post reporter before more discussion ensued on the scene, which meant he could start asking questions.

Louis didn't like the post reporter's question either, but it was definitely much better than Wallace and his like.

The subject of his question was Wilson: "Benj, what do you think of the recent rumors surrounding you and Patrick?"

"I watched it with a smile, but I didn't care." Wilson responded lightly to the reporter. "When I participated in the draft, some people said that my child was not my own. I never cared about such rumors."

The second thing is that Louis can stand for the reporter, and Benj is very concerned about it.

Because the child is not really his own.
