Chapter 334 New York Battle

The exclusive sneakers signed by Yang Di are scheduled to be released on January 1 next year. Nike needs this period of time to customize the first batch of the same sneakers.

The Warriors headed to New York to challenge the Knicks. Not long into the season, there was such a game that flew from the West Coast to the East Coast, spanning several time zones.

The attention of the game is extremely high, after all, it is the two sides of the turbulent trade in the offseason.

Murphy bought a villa in New York. Although he left San Francisco, he came to a bigger city to develop. New York is a melting pot, but it also makes people fascinated.At least Murphy is satisfied with the status quo. He is a player who signs first and then trades. He signed a 6-year 5800 million contract with the Warriors, which is enough for him to live happily in any city.

After Yang Di, Fisher and others arrived, Murphy invited them to have a meal. The few hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they had some exchanges to enhance their private relationship.

In the evening, Madison Square Garden.

The attendance rate in New York has always been nothing to worry about. In such a city, there are plenty of people with money and leisure.

Urban white-collar workers, upper-class aristocratic circles, elegant urbanites, financial elites, and wealthy people in the economic circle are all in one room, and one of them in the front row may be a rich man on Wall Street.

Different from the rich cultural background of Los Angeles, New York represents finance and development.

Before the start of the game, the two sides started their debut.

New York had a grand entrance, as high-profile as ever, representing the city.

Knicks starters: PG: Stephen Marbury, SG: Quentin Richardson, SF: Matt Barnes, PF: Troy Murphy, C Eddie Curry.

Warriors starters: PG Derek Fisher, SG Baron Davis, SF Mike Dunleavy, PF Yang Di, C Tyson Chandler.

Murphy looked at Yang Di with a bit of pain as he stood beside him.

"You've switched to power forward now?" Murphy suddenly felt bad.

"Yes, I've been a striker this season, but sometimes I'll return to the center, and there's no clear definition between the inside lines, is there?" Yang Di said with a smile.

"Why don't you go and mess with Eddie, how can I prevent you?"

"If you think like this before the game starts, then you really can't defend yourself, and your teammates might think you're letting go."

Yang Di laughed and patted Murphy's butt in a friendly manner. The camera happened to capture this scene, and the relationship between the two was praised.

The game started with Chandler easily jumping over his former teammate.

In the Bulls, Chandler is the backup center for Eddie Curry. If the two play together, Eddie Curry is responsible for low-post offense, catching and shooting, and he is responsible for blocking people, grabbing shots, etc. Rebounding, passing and other auxiliary tasks, the treatment of the two is very different, one is the core of the offense, and the other is the blue-collar.

In the era of O'Neal's peak, almost all teams hoped to cultivate the next O'Neal, and for this reason, there were countless players similar to O'Neal.

Many inside players were very thin when they entered the league, and then they were asked to practice low positions, gain weight, and play more and more inside.

Those like Yang Di who are developing in the opposite direction, fighting more and more outside, are the only one in the entire league.

The key point is that Yang Di is playing more and more outside. He still has a tough style on the court. He still has a lot of aggressive attacks at the basket and low positions. It cannot be said that his style of play is soft.

Baron Davis dribbles across halfcourt.

Yang Di came out to catch the ball, and Murphy followed Yang Di step by step.

Yang Di received the ball and immediately stepped on the three-point line to pose a three-threat attack. Murphy was taken aback.

"Three threats? Tentative steps? When did Yang Di play like this?"

Before he could react, Yang Di, who was trying to test it, had already started a frontal breakthrough, holding the ball in his right hand and striding in on the right side. The pace was not fast, and Murphy could fully react and lean forward.
"Bang!" Yang Di, who was dribbling the ball, stood firmly on the spot, but Murphy was knocked off his center of gravity. Yang Di had already been waiting there, waiting for the defender to hit him.

His breakthrough was to take the initiative to find confrontation.

After taking two more steps, Yang Di paused, and then suddenly fell behind Murphy. He took a step forward with his left foot, pulled the ball horizontally with his right hand, and his body rotated clockwise. Murphy was caught by his right leg. .

Although Murphy is white, his body is also very burly. Yang Di turned around and failed to turn around completely. Murphy reacted and turned around to chase Yang Di.

At this moment, Yang Di grabbed the basketball with both hands, and the moment he turned around, his right foot did not move, but he took a step with his left foot, held the ball with his right hand, and made a delicate layup.

"what!"

Murphy was dizzy from being shaken, and when he turned around again, Yang Di had easily finished playing the board.

No matter how long an NBA player's arms are, with his body sticking out and his wingspan, hitting the board is almost equivalent to dunking, and it's a precise hit.

2 to 0, the beautiful turning and shaking skills attracted a burst of exclamation from the New York fans at the scene.

New York general manager Isaiah Thomas and New York coach Larry Brown, who were watching the game, were also taken aback. Yang Di's action reminded them both of the most outstanding big man in the 90s, the red African tango dancer, The legendary Olajuwon.

In that memory complex, there is an indelible deep impression, playing with opponents countless times between applause, it is simply having invincible footsteps at the basket.

"The speed is very fast, and the movement connection is very beautiful. The key is that when you turn around, you can hold the ball with both hands in time."

Larry Brown didn't even know how Yang Di made the judgment. If Murphy hadn't hesitated, he might have stopped in shape when he received the ball, or even walked.

Yang Di successfully attracted the attention of everyone here. His wonderful goal was played back on the big screen, and he retreated past halftime.

"I was already ready to be knocked over by you. You actually played such a trick. Is this a new skill you learned? I didn't even see how you attacked from the right again."

"It's just a basic and simple movement, but the speed is a little faster." Yang Di said truthfully, the so-called footsteps are all evolved from basic movements.

Isaiah Thomas remembered Yang Di's wonderful performances in the first three games, and with a record of three victories, he successfully won the title of best player in the Western Conference. No wonder Chris Mullin is willing to trade Murphy and Richard Sen, if he were the general manager, he would be willing to do the same. This is obviously a cornerstone player.

"I don't know if Eddie Curry can match it?"

Isaiah Thomas turned his attention back to the court, at this time, Eddie Curry just caught the ball from the outside, posting up his former younger brother, Tyson Chandler.
