Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 217 Ewing's Revenge

"Let's go, let's win this game!"

The Knicks have good strength and are also a difficult opponent, but Paul Westphal doesn't care much.

After all, the two teams are not in the same half.

And with the strength of the Knicks, it doesn't seem like they have a chance to rush out of the East.

Therefore, for this game, his emotions were not so high, and he was even a little tired.

Continuous away trips, not to mention the players, even the coaching staff will feel tired.

No, the Sonics players are also a little perfunctory, symbolically responding to Paul Westphal.

No way, the continuous road trip is not only physically exhausting, but also psychologically exhausting.

Although the players indulged a bit yesterday, fast food can only fill the stomach, but it has no nutrition.

Moreover, after this last game, they will return to Seattle, and everyone's thoughts have already flown away.

Coupled with consecutive wins, this undoubtedly makes the players slack in their minds, which is inevitable.

Otherwise, why are there so few super-long winning streaks in NBA history?

In most cases, it is not a question of strength, but of psychology.

As a result, a deafening voice sounded, a voice full of passion and determination.

"Of course, victory belongs to us!"

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Ewing the gorilla, and he was glaring with a menacing look.

At first, everyone still didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, they understood.

They expressed deep sympathy for Ewing's experience, especially the relocation, which was also difficult for them to accept.

After decades of hard work, but ended up like this, who wants to?

"Yes, the victory belongs to us, so what about the Knicks, isn't it amazing? Let's teach them a lesson."

Wang Hao was the first to speak out. As a teammate, what we need most at this time is everyone's support.

What's more, what the Knicks did is really dissatisfied and suffocating.

Taking a step back, even if the Knicks are doing well, they will not help their relatives.

Gary Payton also said: "Madison Garden Arena, this is a stage for great performances!"

This sentence has already expressed his attitude. He will never be polite in tonight's game.

Not only Gary Payton, but others also echoed.

It is said that cannibals have short mouths, and they only drank Ewing's wine the night before, so they have to show something today.

It has to be said that Ewing is still very sophisticated, and has already arranged the revenge scene early on.

"Wang, I have lived in New York for so many years, and I still know many celebrities. I will introduce you next time."

Ewing's idea is very simple, that is to know what Wang Hao likes, and introduce him to whatever he likes.

That's right, everyone knew about what happened to him the night before yesterday.

Originally, when everyone was having fun together the night before yesterday, they even teased Wang Hao.

Said that his good baby is still a child!
Well, this is true, although legally speaking, Wang Hao is an adult, but he is not yet old enough to drink.

In Seattle, in order to avoid trouble, when teammates went out to have fun in the past, everyone was reluctant to take him.

After all, instigating people under the legal drinking age to drink is far more serious than drinking.

Whoever imagined it, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the news the next day.

He is not a good baby who is shy, he is clearly high-sighted and looks down on fast food on the street.

Although he is only a small star, he is beautiful!

Looking at the handsome men and beauties in the newspaper, the passion last night suddenly became dull.

Star, who doesn't want to communicate?
Don't look at actors and stars yearning for NBA stars, but in the same way, NBA stars still yearn for these stars.

Hearing this, Wang Hao's face suddenly changed, he just wanted to say something to Ewing.

"Listen to me, thank you..."

You know, Ewing is famous for his big mouth in the NBA, and he can't control his big mouth.

Because of this big mouth, he got into trouble a lot.

Why Wang Hao was unwilling to mingle with them, apart from his disdain for fast food, it was also because of his big mouth.

Maybe, when he is interviewed by the media one day, he will be able to describe what happened that night vividly.

Wang Hao didn't want to do that.

Closer to home, when it was the Sonics' turn to play and everyone else walked up to Madison Square Garden, things were fine.

However, when Ewing played the finale, yes, the team deliberately let him play last.

However, what people didn't expect was that there was a burst of boos at the scene, merciless boos.

At this moment, Wang Hao clearly saw the change in Ewing's expression.

How should I put it, it feels like I have worked so hard to feed a child who has grown up with shit and urine, and when I grow up, I drive myself out of the house, and I still have to be sarcastic.

I have to say that such fans are really annoying.

Everything was ready, and the referee didn't waste any time, and started tonight's game directly.

Although there is no nationwide live broadcast today, the so-called first game of Ewing's return to New York still attracts a lot of attention.

The Sonics continue to use the previous starting lineup and have not made adjustments. The New York Knicks deserve attention.

It was Marcus Camby, the second pick of the 96 golden generation, who replaced Ewing as the Knicks starter.

Speaking of Marcus Camby, I have to say that he is another good player who was abolished by New York fans.

When he first came to the Knicks, in fact, he has been playing hard and doing his job well.

However, the fans did not recognize him.

Especially since this season, he who replaced Ewing as the team's starter did not satisfy the fans.

The fans were dissatisfied, and the media also accused him, saying that he was not worthy of the No. 96 pick of the [-] Golden Generation.

But the problem is that becoming the No. [-] pick is not his own decision, but someone else's choice.

Why should he be held accountable?

It was also the experience in the Knicks that made Marcus Camby understand that there is no future for playing well.

How can we have a future?
Play better data, get more attention, and then get the recognition of the fans and the media, and get a big contract.

Since then, Marcus Camby has been out of control on the road of big brush.

Defense?

It doesn't matter, it's more important to block shots and grab rebounds.

After all, no matter how good your defense is, you have no statistics, but blocks and rebounds are real statistics.

Finally, let him get a few big contracts and get a best defensive player.

In the forward position, the New York Knicks arranged a combination of aunt Larry Johnson and Alan Houston.

On the back line are Madman Sprewell and Charlie Ward.

I have to say that the lineup of the New York Knicks is really star-studded, no worse than the Trail Blazers.

Except for Charlie Ward, who is relatively mediocre, everyone else, that is really a famous name.

Needless to say, Larry Johnson, the NBA's most eye-catching big butt, less than two meters tall, is a power forward who hits with that ass.

Of course, there is also a temper that is as famous as his butt. On the field, in addition to playing ball, he also fights.

Alan Houston, the famous NBA mid-range shot king.

Of course, the most famous one is the madman Sprewell, this guy is really rebellious.

Compared to this guy, the supersonic's prickly Ruben Patterson feels a little white.

Of all the troubles Sprewell has gotten into, these two are the most notable.

One of them has already happened, in 1997, venting dissatisfaction on the head coach.

This is not just dissatisfaction in words, but directly into action, he strangled the head coach's neck.

It is said that if his teammates hadn't pulled him away, he would have really strangled the head coach Carlesimo.

Another thing that hasn't happened yet.

In the original time and space, in 2005, Sprewell, who averaged 13 points per game last season, was ignored.

Of course not because of his age, let alone his strength, but because he opened his mouth like a lion.

He asked for tens of millions of annual salary with his eyes closed, and said something like "you can't support your family without a tens of millions of annual salary".

It can be said that this sentence is more famous than Sprewell's entire career.

Just like Dennis Schroder of the Lakers later, he couldn't see himself clearly, and it was just a joke in the end.

In addition to the players, the head coach of the Knicks is also the well-known Fan Bald, Jeff Van Gundy.

Jeff Van Gundy's reputation in China is not small. Of course, it does not refer to the present, but to the future.

As the head coach of Yao Ming, he led Mosaic to a fairly good regular season result.

Because in the playoffs, Mosaic never broke through the first round.

It's just that it was Jeff Van Gundy's transformation that made Yao Ming a top star while also suffering from constant injuries.

The best player in Van Gundy's hands has always been Patrick Ewing, and he is also a believer in this powerful center.

After becoming the head coach, Van Gundy immediately began to reform Yao Ming, and even recruited Ewing as Yao Ming's coach.

The results can only be described in words.

After all, Yao Ming is not Patrick Ewing, nor is it Shaquille O'Neal, they are different.

Both Ewing and O'Neal failed to avoid injuries, let alone Yao Ming, such an approach is not advisable.

In the future, if Van Gundy will still become Yao Ming's head coach, it is necessary for him to remind him.

At the beginning of the game, perhaps because of the hard work today, Ewing the gorilla grabbed the jump ball and helped the Sonics get the ball.

Gary Payton took possession of the ball and came beyond the three-point line, and began to direct his teammates to move. This is a tactic.

Wang Hao and Lewis stretched to the other side, both standing outside the three-point line, creating enough space.

Gary Payton unhurriedly passed the ball to the inside, and Ewing was already in place.

That's right, this is the Sonic's tactics at the beginning of the game, with Ewing as the main offensive direction.

After getting the ball, Ewing first observed the positions of other players, and after making sure that there was no double-team, he started playing singles.

Indeed, Marcus Camby is younger, but Ewing's body is more solid, and he is also very familiar with this substitute.

Nothing to say, just squeeze, squeeze Marcus Camby to the basket, and force the shot.

Ewing himself knew that such an attack was very energy-intensive, and what he himself lacked most now was physical strength.

He also understands that such an attack cannot last for a few rounds, so he cherishes every attack.

A realistic fake move, directly pointing Marcus Camby up, and then made a layup.

2:0
Experience, and knowledge of Marcus Camby, which allowed Ewing to easily score two points.

"Shh..."

However, what awaited him was boos from Knicks fans in Madison Gardens.

It's just that Ewing turned a deaf ear to it at this time and actively retreated.

The Knicks attacked, Charlie Ward advanced with the ball, and after halftime, he called the ball out.

Larry Johnson holds the ball in a high position, and at this time, Alan Houston is actively running.

The one who followed him was naturally Lewis, which made Alan Houston very calm and easy to get the opportunity.

Lewis' speed is not fast, but, relying on his height advantage, he can barely interfere.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, the Knicks missed the first attack, and Ewing held Marcus Camby to protect the rebound.

The Sonics attacked and continued the tactics just now.

In the opening stage of the first quarter, whether it was Wang Hao or Gary Payton, as long as Ewing wanted the ball, he would choose to pass the ball to him.

It's just that getting old is getting old, no matter how experienced you are, some things still can't be changed.

Moreover, in addition to Marcus Camby, others in the Knicks also began to assist in defense.

Obviously, they think it is enough to let the old players play one single, and they are not willing to lose the game.

The Knicks are not a weak team either. Both Alan Houston and Sprewell have very strong offensive power.

8:9
When the game went on for 4 minutes, the Sonics fell behind by 1 point, and the scene looked very anxious.

Ewing also knew that he couldn't continue to play like this. His physical fitness didn't support him to play like this, and he didn't want to lose.

Paul Westphal also understood the situation on the court and began to adjust his tactics, replacing Ewing first.

When he left the field, boos were still waiting for him.

On the one hand, Ewing and PJ Brown appeared on the inside at the same time, causing the Sonics' inside line to be somewhat crowded.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem like a good choice for Lewis to forcefully defend Alan Houston.

It seems more appropriate to replace Ruben Patterson.

Gary Payton handed the ball to Wang Hao. As for him, he fell to the position and easily blocked Charlie Ward behind him.

Wang Hao has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately passed the ball.

It is still a combination of inside and outside play, but, this inside and outside has been replaced by Gary Payton and Wang Hao.

Charlie Ward's height and weight are obviously not Gary Payton's opponent, and he can easily be squeezed inside.

At this time, Sprewell subconsciously wanted to help defend.

Gary Payton is not the kind of player who only has shots in his eyes once he attacks.

As a point guard, he's more inclined to pass the ball.

After drawing Sprewell over, he immediately returned the ball to Wang Hao, who was already waiting outside the three-point line.

Without any hesitation, if you don't make a move in such a large space, you are simply sorry for yourself!
