Chapter 175 No.80 Eight Palms Eastern Focus Battle
"Dantou, thank you!" After the game, Curry found Lao Hu and said heartily.

"Brother, why are you polite, aren't we friends?" Obviously, Hu Lin also heard what Curry said.

"Hmm! It's a friend!" Curry's heart warmed when he heard Hu Lin say that.

"Hey! You two friends, did you make a mistake? Don't play emotional scenes here. I get goosebumps!" Lao Li immediately came out to complain, but this seemed to be the truth.

"Damn!" Lao Hu directly raised his middle finger.

"David! We are also good friends, right?!" Curry said to Lao Li with a simple and honest face.

"Of course, we've always been friends. You don't need to ask." Lao Li continued to complain.

"Great! Great! We are friends, we are friends..." After hearing this, Curry gave Lao Li a bear hug, and there seemed to be some tears in his eyes.

"Hey! What's wrong with this guy?" Lao Li was asking Lao Hu for help.

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Lao Hu said very irresponsibly.

"It's okay, I was very moved suddenly, don't you mind." Curry also said why this happened, but he was very moved and couldn't control it.

Of course, Lao Hu and Lao Li wouldn't mind, and repeatedly said that it was okay, and Curry could continue to be moved, but Lao Li had something he didn't understand, so this guy opened his mouth.

"By the way, Tiger, you guy asked me to go near the free throw line before, but you didn't let me attack there. What are you doing?" This matter really confuses Lao Li.

"Hi! What's the matter? It's nothing more than seeing you as annoying. Let you stay there for a while, and then I will have space when I come over to pick and roll." Lao Hu was very hurt, and he explained the reason while returning the words. Old Li was joking.

"Damn! You bastard, how can I hate you? Oh, yes, of course men will hate me, because I've fucked up all their girls, hahaha..." Lao Li immediately said He understood what Lao Hu meant, but he soon found a more important reason.

"Brother, you are hopeless!" Lao Hu was speechless.

"Well! Friends! We are friends!" Here is another hopeless one.

In fact, Hu Lin asked David Lee to run to that position, so that Hu Lin, David Lee, and Curry could form a triangle, which was the prototype of the triangle offense.And Hu Lin added a pick-and-roll to this. In fact, it was to mobilize the two of them to run, so that most of the content of a triangle offense was basically completed. The pick-and-roll can be regarded as a screen, and Lao Li Both Curry and Curry can open up the opportunity to wait for the ball.

In the game against the Bulls, everyone's performance was satisfactory. The LED team also scored 62 points, and the Sharks scored 29 points and 11 rebounds alone.And Crawford, who just came back, also played normally. He scored 14 points in this game, which is a fairly satisfactory statistic.

Others also performed well, and Coach Yito seemed very satisfied. He did not ravage the animals in the second day's training, but gently let the players under him recover.

The reason is simple, because their training was conducted in Cleveland the next day, and the Knicks will challenge the Cavaliers away.This is the second back-to-back for the Knicks this season. The first time was in the West, which was more difficult, but they won the Rockets and lost the Suns, which is completely acceptable.But now the opponents are all Eastern teams, and the entire Knicks team hopes to achieve two consecutive victories.

But the Cavaliers are not a soft persimmon. After Larry Hughes returned from injury, he showed a good state.The other helpers around the little emperor are also in good condition, and this year there is a new star, Varejao.

Originally, Varejao wasn't considered a rookie. Even though he had played in the Cavaliers for three years this year, he was a rookie in the same class as Lao Hu. However, he was just a substitute among the substitutes in the past two years. General ability.But after the start of the regular season this year, he has shown a good competitive state.

In addition, although Eric Snow is one year older, this year's rookie Daniel Gibson has shown a certain level, and some Xiaohe are showing their sharp corners.There is also Shannon Brown. Although he is still unknown now, Lao Hu knows how this gentleman performed in the Lakers later, and he is also a good helper for Kobe.

The most frightening thing is that the Cavaliers basically kept the complete lineup from last season.That's right, apart from the addition of two rookies, the real lineup of this team has not changed much.A stable lineup can produce a tacit cooperation, so the chemical changes that the Cavaliers should have now should have. To be honest, this is really not easy in the NBA.It seems that the knight really paid a lot for the little emperor.

The reason why I say this is because most of the contracts in the NBA have changed, and generally they are getting higher and higher, so if you want to retain people, you have to pay more salary.The Cavaliers have almost no downsizing, just lay off some small role players, there is no big deal, and two rookies have been added, which will definitely cost the boss a lot of money.

Not only is the opponent of the Knicks strong, but this game is actually very important.This game will even have a huge impact on the ranking of the entire Eastern Conference.

There is no other reason, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now number one in the Eastern Conference, and the Knicks are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference!

What?How can it be?Didn't the Knicks lose a lot before?Can this also be shot second?

That's right, they lost a few games, but the Knicks' current record is 9 wins and 6 losses, with a winning percentage of 57%, which is really average.But it depends on who you compare with. If the Knicks are in the West now and compared with the teams in the West, then the Knicks will be ranked No.6 at most.In the East, although the gap with the No.3 Raptors is not big, this result can be ranked second!

There is no way around this. The teams in the Western Conference this year are too strong overall. As I said before, the Mavericks and Suns won consecutive games, and the Spurs only lost one game to the Knicks.The Rockets and the Jazz are both very capable teams, and they are like cutting melons and vegetables against the teams in the Upper East.Of course, the Knicks performed well and double-killed the Rockets this season, but other Eastern teams were not so lucky.

As a result, this game has become a focus battle between No.1 and No.2 in the East!

Since it is a battle of focus, it is necessary to make a lot of preparations. Among other things, it is natural that a lot of effort must be made in TV broadcasting.Therefore, TNT, also known as the Turner Television Network, sent their leading basketball commentators, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley!
"Today's Quicken-Loans-Arena is full of seats. It seems that the game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers is definitely a big battle. This should be the most important game in the Eastern Conference since the start of the regular season..." Kenny Smith was talking about the opening remarks, but before he finished speaking, his old partner Barkley interrupted him immediately.

"That's right! There are really many, many, many people. I didn't know that there are so many people in Cleveland. Just now I thought I must have committed an old problem. Did I go to the wrong place? This is simply Madison Square Garden. As for the big game, oh my god is this the Knicks? Is this really the Knicks? It's unbelievable, these guys only had 24 wins last season, oh my god!" Barkley is always funny.

"That's right, the Knicks' upward momentum this season is obvious, and this is achieved without a big deal. It seems that Thomas is better as a coach than as a general manager." Smith talked about Coach Torre.

"No, no, no, old man, you believe me, this guy Thomas will never be better than you as a coach. This guy is just lucky, he can always find surprising guys in the draft, Maybe Thomas' draft vision is only slightly worse than Popovich's in the NBA." Barkley heard his partner praise Thomas, and this guy immediately came out to complain.

"Oh? Are you referring to Tony Parker? Or Manu Ginobili?" Smith cited two very classic examples of a low post player becoming a big star.

"No, no, no, old man, you let me down, we have been together for so many years, how can you still not understand me? The example I gave is obvious, that person is in the Knicks team, naturally It’s Hu Lie from China. Why did you forget that this little guy was first picked by the Spurs!” Unexpectedly, Barkley still remembered this incident.

"Hahaha...that's right, you're right, it seems that Thomas is indeed inferior to Popovich, haha..." Smith laughed out loud, although Barkley was arguing, but there is really no way to refute this theory , because the fact is that the Spurs first selected Hu Lin, and then traded to the Knicks.Although everyone knew that this was the Hulin whom Thomas had taken a fancy to, it was absolutely reasonable for Barkley to say so, and that was the fact.

"It seems that you are very concerned about China Hu, so Charles, are you interested in making a bet?" Smith was joking with Barkley, talking about the previous Yaoming.

Back then, it was Smith who said that Yao Ming would score more than 20 points, but Barkley didn't believe it, so Barkley kissed the ass of the donkey.This is because the word ass can refer to 'ass' or 'ass'. The original bet was to kiss Smith's ass 'KISS-YOUR-ASS'. In order to make it more exciting, Smith was embarrassed, so he used this English Little holes in words.

"No, no, no, I said it before, I don't bet anyone on this little guy because he's so good. And don't you see? He plays like me, like me! We're there When we were playing, we were all so smart, so driven, never giving up. Besides, we are all so handsome, don’t you think?”

"Hahaha..." For Barkley's no-face style, even though he has partnered with him for many years, Smith still laughs directly.
