the rest, only noise

Chapter 903

Playing the Knicks in the first game of his career was not a good thing for O'Neal.

In terms of personnel reserves, the Knicks are too suitable to play him.

In terms of ability, Ewing can offset his presence in the paint.In addition to Ewing, the Knicks also have Kemp, Yu Tiancan and luxurious wings.

As the patriarch of the pocket formation, the Knicks' defensive formation has surpassed O'Neal.

Unless the Magic can provide stable outside support, O'Neal will be as sad as he is today every time he meets the Knicks.

Ewing scored 16 points and 7 rebounds in just half of the game.

"Was O'Neill the factor that made you explode?" asked NBC's frontline reporter Ahmed Rashad.

Ewing said arrogantly: "This can only be regarded as my average performance."

The implication is that this is not an outbreak.

It has to be said that Ewing is crazy, and he is crazy for a reason.

Louis believes that any star like him, who has five rings in his hands at the age of 30, will be crazy and ignore others.

O'Neill's gimmick is too big.

This game can at least prove that he is not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1970, Bird in 1980, or even Ewing in 1985.

He is not the kind of player who can bring the bottom-ranked bad team to the playoffs or even the championship level as soon as he comes.

Does this mean that he is not as good as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bird, and Ewing?

No, the hard power of superstars is similar.

A player with invincible individual ability like O'Neill needs good helpers to take off.

There is no absolute strength of a star, but there is a clear difference in the overall impact of personal style.

Ewing won the matchup with O'Neal by virtue of his team advantage.

In the second quarter, when Yu Tiancan came on stage, the atmosphere was equally hot.

After all, he is the player with the highest draft pick by the Knicks after Miller.

In the Louis era, every lottery pick of the Knicks was worthy, and Yu Tiancan carried the high hopes of the fans.

When facing O'Neal, he doesn't have as much advantage as Ewing.

But Yu Tiancan was not a dominant insider like O'Neill.

Since the game was garbage time from the second quarter, Yu Tiancan got 24 minutes of playing time.

During this period of time, he showed his own characteristics.

The first is comprehensive, able to play both inside and outside, with confidence in post-up and shooting, and secondly, the coping ability meets the Knicks' needs for a backup center.

His free throw line support reminds fans of Sam Bowie back then.

Compared with O'Neal, who was embarrassed by the Knicks' defensive system, Yu Tiancan played a more decent performance.

全场6投4中，拿下11分8篮板3助攻1盖帽的数据。

O'Neal made 18 of 7 shots, but his shooting percentage was only 40%. He made 8 of 4 free throws.

17+18+2+3+7失误的数据对新秀来说并不糟糕。

It's just that the media has compared O'Neill and Chamberlain for several years in a row.

Big Dipper looked free and easy, but actually cared a lot.

O'Neal's first show did not satisfy him, so at the end of the game, he said to himself in Versailles: "I think the kid in Orlando still has a long way to go. I believe his future will be very good, but this game didn't play well. I was much better back then."

The reporter is on the right track, and asked along the topic: "How was your debut performance back then?"

"Actually average." Chamberlain said with a smile, "Only 27 of 17 shots, 43 points and 28 rebounds. Interestingly, the opponent is also the Knicks."

The reporter said in surprise: "Just? Is this normal?"

"It's so average, don't you know I averaged 50 points a season? 43 points is nothing."

Does anyone believe that Chamberlain didn't come to the scene as a guest after checking the data on purpose?

If O'Neal's first show is impressive, he will also make insinuations about his performance back then.

Now that O'Neal is not doing well, he will not miss this opportunity to brag.

The victory over the Magic is expected, and Louie cares more about off-court matters.

Ewing not only suppressed O'Neal tonight, but also led the team in scoring.

Wilson said he wanted to win the league in scoring is just angry, Luisin, but the media don't know what he's thinking, they only know that Wilson and Ewing are going to have a scoring contest.

So, whenever there was a chance to join in the fun, the ever-challenging New York Times asked a bad question: "Patrick Ewing leads the Knicks in scoring right now, Benj, will you catch him later?"

With Louis, Wilson could tell the truth.

On the outside, he takes care of his own influence and reactions to other people.

"Of course." Wilson said lightly, "I will catch up in the next game."

In addition, Louis met two expatriate journalists from China.

Ever since Song Tao entered the alliance, they have occasionally been found in press conferences, but not many of them appeared, after all, there was not enough funds for business trips.

After Yu Tiancan, Hu Weidong and Wang Mukong entered the league, the NBA began to become one of the focuses of domestic sports reporters.

Louis believes that he will meet more and more Chinese journalists in the future.

"Coach Lu, what do you think of Yu Tiancan's first match?"

It would be wrong for them not to ask this question.

Louis first answered in Mandarin: "A very good start."

Then say it again in English.

Afterwards, another Chinese reporter asked about Wang Mukong's situation: "Wang Mukong is not on the activation list tonight, how is his situation?"

"Mukong is actively preparing for the development league game. For him, the most urgent task is to get used to the rhythm of professional basketball and improve his physical confrontation. I will continue to pay attention to his development."

After that, I still translated it into English by myself.

Louie's attitude towards Chinese journalists made many American journalists feel uncomfortable.

You must know that Louis is a well-known rotten meat in the media circle. If someone asks a stupid question, he will not give you a good face.

In the early years, he was even more famous for his violent temper. As long as the reporter's question was wrong, he would directly label him a "bad reporter" and then refused to interview him.

In recent years, my temper has improved, but I seldom have such an attitude towards them, and I also help to translate
"Do you think Wang Mukong will enter the regular rotation of the Knicks in the future?"

"I hope it's possible."

This matter depends on Wang Mukong himself. Even Louis can only help him grow. If he wants to have a stable position in the Knicks, he needs to work beyond imagination.

As long as Wang Mukong can get a rotation position in the Knicks, he can get a rotation position in other teams.

The impact of intra-team competition on players is two-way.

Later, the reporter asked about Hu Weidong's situation.

Hu Weidong's debut performance in Golden State was not bad. The Warriors have three stable starters, Mullin, Richmond, and Payton, so he can only be used as a substitute.

In the first game of his career against the Mavericks, Hu Weidong played 18 minutes, scored 5 of 2, scored 7 points and 1 assist.

Louis knew only one thing about Hu Weidong's situation, so he chatted casually, and left it to the reporters to dig out the rest.

On November 11, the Knicks ushered in the Eastern underdog Eagles who had no hope.

A team whose future has been taken by Louis has to face a crueler future.

This year, they are not competitive.

When encountering this kind of point-giving boy, the Knicks always strike hard.

Ewing didn't feel good, and the Eagles' inside core Kevin Willis got on the bar with him.

And Wilson practiced his words, like a god outside the three-point line, unstoppable offense with the ball.

Every time he dribbles in, he doesn't rush to score directly.

He made extensive physical contact with the opponent, causing fouls.

In this way, Willis was fouled four times in the half, five at Lightspeed in the third quarter, and then left the field with six fouls a few minutes later.

All six of Willis' fouls were on Wilson.

The reason for Wilson's foul is that the shots after being fouled are not counted in the total shots. Therefore, even if he doesn't make a shot, he still has a free throw, which is not counted as the number of shots.

"In order to become the scoring champion, he really used all means!" Ewing complained.

Louis heard his words.

"Hehe!" Lu Yi sneered, "Your old iron-blooded jumper who saw my blood pressure soar may not be so high, shut up."

"You know how to protect him!"

"If you have half of him to let me worry, see if I can protect you!"

Ewing's words after that left Louis speechless: "Who can't grow up like him, I'm an adult, I can protect myself!"

Wilson frantically made 20 free throws and only took 20 shots in the game, scoring 52 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, while Ewing's performance was sluggish, scoring only 15 points.
