New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 210 Against the New York Knicks

The two upstarts who were immediately promoted to the championship level by relying on the draft, the Lakers successfully took the lead in the first matchup.And judging from the data of the players, the Wizards scored 52 points with both guns, Varanda scored 27 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, and Doom scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Roll with satisfaction.

But for them, Zhang Yi scored 34 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists in this game, which is close to the triple-double data, and his performance is obviously better.And under his scheduling, Robert also scored 20 points, and Wally scored a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Jaina can breathe a little bit of relief, because the Bruins did not disappoint in the first game of the three quarters and fulfilled their talents.Her first major move as a Lakers general manager also earned her widespread acclaim.

Wacker's previous record in leading the team was not optimistic, but the legend of helping the fat UCLA Bruins overcome all difficulties to win the championship in one year also changed everyone's impression of him.

As the leading scorer and hero of victory in this game, Zhang Yi immediately became the absolute hero of the team.In the city of Los Angeles, everyone has also seen hope for the new season.

The online programs invited him one after another, but Lucy, Zhang Yi's publicity agent, blocked all the invitations to appear on the program.Of course, it's not that she doesn't want to accept these jobs, but Zhang Yi has explained that his most important goal now is to become the strongest player in the league.

Even on the night of the game victory, he still practiced three-pointers on the court.Lucy sat quietly on the sidelines and looked at the man she liked.

All this is the same as when they first met, the difference is that they are no longer casual passers-by.Lucy, who never believed in religion, also believed in fate after meeting Zhang Yi.

Once they become professional players, they have entered the society and are no longer the original children.Robert also bought an apartment in Los Angeles and is now living with his girlfriend.It can be seen that this libertine in love also has the idea of ​​​​settling down.

Although Wali still lives with his parents, it is all because of his special status.Even he complained to Zhang Yi more than once that he wanted to be independent.

Not to mention Zhang Yi, although he lived with his mother once, his mentality is no longer dependent on his family.It's no different than total independence.

Outside of basketball, the only thing that made him hesitate was emotion.Although Zhang Yi didn't know how to solve it, it was obvious that he was with Lucy almost every day now.

If time still makes the decision for him, it is obvious that the balance in his heart has tilted towards Lucy.Without Ye Qing, he might even choose to marry Lucy without hesitation, but now, apart from being on the court, this matter will always bother him.

After extra practice, Lucy walked onto the field and handed him a towel.Most women don't like the state and smell of men sweating profusely, but she doesn't seem to be disgusted, and it can even be said that she likes this kind of alone time.

There is no shortage of such hardworking players at the Staples Center, but the last one has retired for a few years.None of the players who became the core before really looked like stars, and they all went around and disappeared in the NBA.

Now the stadium finally seems to have a real owner, even in the Los Angeles basketball world.Zhang Yi is now the star here, the focus of attention on the court!

On the second day, they continued to sit in town and ushered in the challenge of the New York Knicks.In the past few years, the Knicks have been able to achieve good results every year because they have a strong center.

Especially in this year's draft, they also selected a good player shooting guard Danny in the first round. Although Zhang Yi and the others have not played against this player, Danny also led the team with a single core and led Texas to break through. Into the quarterfinals of the second half.

If they hadn't met the Tigers in one-eighth of the game, they would even have the strength to break into the semifinals in the lower half.It's also the rarest thing about senior Danny.

As a first-round pick, but his position is a few places lower than Robert, so Danny said before the game that, except for Sean, there is no better shooting guard than him in this round.

This sentence was also regarded by the media as aimed at Robert, because Danny also tried out for the Los Angeles Lakers and clearly expressed his desire to join Staples.

But the Lakers' final deal disappointed him so much, that's why he hated Robert, who was able to wear the purple and gold shirt because of Zhang Yi's relationship.

In the first playoff game of the New York Knicks, although Danny led the team to lose the game, he did not lose the statistics.He scored a game-high 28 points, and his performance was very eye-catching.

So in this game, in addition to paying attention to the performance of No. [-] pick Zhang Yi, everyone also cares about the direct confrontation between the two top scorers Danny and Robert.

There were a lot of reporters gathered before the game, but Danny and the other rookies who had enjoyed exposure in the Big Apple were getting used to it.After all, New York is one of the few cities in the league that has received more attention than Los Angeles.

During training, the Knicks showed the team's grading. Although Danny got the highest score, he was still the team's second choice.

The real star of this team is the center Depp. Even though he will not play this game out of caution due to a slight injury, Danny respects his performance.

Compared with Zhang Yi, Robert and Wally, the three big boys who were selected into the league as freshmen, his advantage is four years of NCAA experience and a more mature mentality.

At the beginning of the game, because the Knicks lacked the absolute first height, Wally easily jumped to the ball from the backup center.After point guard Oscar took the ball, although he wanted to find Zhang Yi immediately, it was obvious that Robert had a strong desire to attack.

Danny, who is 1 meters tall, is not considered strong, and he is a bit unattractive in front of Robert, but he does not know that his opponent's defense is absolutely top-notch among college shooting guards.

After Oscar passed the ball to Robert, Danny immediately posted, "You can't pass, pass the ball quickly!"

Hearing this, Robert certainly dismissed it. In his opinion, this man is nothing to be afraid of.When he finished the feint and was about to break through, the latter turned around and took the basketball from his back. This is a steal that can only be completed with an accurate prediction of the ball's path.

After stealing the ball, Danny ran across the court, then evaded Robert's backhand layup in the air and scored the first goal.

The audience also cheered for his versatility in offense and defense.Zhang Yi patted Robert, whose expression was a bit impatient, "Focus! He can't be better than you..." "Of course I know!"
