Chapter 271 A Brilliant Opening, No One Doesn't Love It

At Madison Square Garden, after the players of the two teams finished warming up, the big screen showed the starting lineup of the two teams tonight.

Raptors: Big Ben, Jordan, Su Feng, Carter, Nash.

Knicks: Ewing, Kurt Thomas, Johnson, Houston, Ward.

In Su Feng's previous life, the 98/99 season can be said to be the pinnacle of Van Gundy's coaching.

In this season, when the Knicks only ranked eighth in the regular season, they staged the famous "Black Eight Legend" in the playoffs.

Moreover, under the premise of losing Ewing in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks, who were all soldiers, eliminated the Pacers in one fell swoop and successfully entered the finals.

No way, the Knicks and Van Gundy are so amazing right now.

In the future, there will be special technical statistics to review the Knicks in this period. As a result, there is a statistic that will embarrass Ewing.

That is, often in the absence of Ewing, this Knicks will play better.

In this life, in terms of lineup, Knicks is similar to Su Feng's memory.

Except for Oakley staying on the team and Camby not coming, Sprewell, like Su Feng remembered, became Van Gundy's favorite player this season.

However, Sprewell's main task this season is to serve as the team's sixth man, coming up to lead the bench to grab points.

In addition, in the new season, at the starting fourth position, Van Gundy boldly used Thomas, whom the Knicks management dug from Dallas.

In Van Gundy's vision, the athletic Thomas could use his positivity to help Ewing.

However, during the offseason, Ewing, who has been busy with labor negotiations and didn't practice much, has performed so well this season.

Moreover, Johnson, whose butt got bigger in the offseason, was still placed at the small forward position by Van Gundy this season, and this arrangement also made the Knicks' striker extremely lack of speed this season.

In the future, after Ewing was reimbursed, Johnson immediately stood up to save the world, not because Johnson and Ewing really had conflicts.

And precisely because, only after Ewing was reimbursed, Van Gundy would think of letting "Auntie" go inside.

Of course, even if there are a lot of problems, Van Gundy has this set of cards in his hands, and it is definitely a set of gods.

It's a pity that Van Gundy's stubbornness made this Knicks team have a certain lower limit, but lost a higher upper limit.

Tonight, facing the Raptors, who have been very hot recently, when seeing the Raptors' starting lineup, Van Gundy touched his little bald head, and first raised a big question mark to John Davis.

John, what a little genius you are.

You actually let Jordan play the fourth position?And dare to play three swingmen at the same time, and the center only plays a big Ben whose actual height is less than two meters?

Obviously, if Van Gundy can understand the Raptors' starting lineup, then he should change his name to Pat Van Gundy.

Miami.

Riley, who is preparing to lead the Heat in the new season, after seeing the Raptors' starting lineup tonight on the TV in the locker room...  

Although Jordan surprisingly appeared at the fourth position when the Raptors announced the roster before, when this scene really happened, Riley still wanted to scold his mother.

Because Jie is the swingman lineup that Riley wants to play the most.

Die, John!

If I don't send someone to assassinate you, then I won't be called Pat Riley!

The camera returned to the scene in New York, TNT TV station, after seeing the Raptors' starting five tigers, Smith speculated: "The Raptors put up a small lineup tonight. Is their intention to speed up the pace of the game? How about using the fast break to kill the game?"

On the side, Knight, who was partnering with Smith in the commentary, laughed, "Are you kidding me? Running and bombing in front of the Knicks' defense?

Hey man, have you ever actually played in the NBA? "

Smith, who was stunned by Knight, spread his hands, "What else? Did you give me my two championship rings?"

"Okay, great Kenny, please tell me, how can the Raptors beat the Knicks through fast breaks?" Knight said, looking at Smith.

"I don't know, but I used to..."

Originally, Smith wanted to say that during his season with the 76ers, the 76ers used fast breaks to beat the Knicks, but before he could finish speaking, Knight interjected:

"Since you don't know, as a professional commentator, Kenny, you must maintain a fair and objective attitude to explain.

You can't be so inclined to the Raptors in commentary just because you like Sue a player. "Nate, who had a stiff relationship with Smith, took the opportunity to complain about Smith.

As the former ace commentator of TNT TV station, since Smith joined TNT, Knight's commentary has often been criticized by fans.

To put it bluntly, as long as this guy has some skills, then the future TNT TV station will not be the Big Three, but the Four Emperors.

In Knight's view, Smith's status as a former NBA championship player is the reason why he can win the love of fans.

So now as long as there is an opportunity, Knight will seize the opportunity to drive Smith's regiment.

However, how can Smith, who has an excellent mentality, be as knowledgeable as Knight?

Smith, who has worked with Davis and Su Feng, knows very well that maybe no other team can beat and run in this era, but this Raptors is different.

In the center of the court, when the "gorilla" saw Jordan unexpectedly appearing in front of him as the Raptors' starting power forward, Ewing, who had a relationship with Jordan that could write a book, couldn't help but sighed to Jordan at this moment:

“Michael, it seems we are all getting old.”

In Ewing's view, the reason why Jordan played the fourth position was because he could no longer run like he did when he was young, so he had to accept this change.

only......

Ewing's hot face was destined to be stuck on Jordan's cold ass.

Because Jordan is willing to accept changes just because he wants to win a championship.

And Ewing, who was ignored by Jordan, was not annoyed. Anyway, since the lockout ended, the gorilla felt that he had understood life thoroughly.

One minute later, amid the cheers of nearly 1 New York fans at the scene, Ewing jumped off the first attack for the Knicks.

Van Gundy's son Ward is in charge of dribbling half court.

On TNT TV, Knight laughed: "The Knicks have absolute heights in the starting lineup. As long as they can pass the ball to Patrick's hands, their offense will be completed easily."

On the court, perhaps after hearing Knight's commentary, Ward gave the ball to the wing after halftime, and then the Knicks player on the wing lobbed the ball to Ewing.

However, just when people thought that Ewing would catch the ball and use his signature bunny jump to score the first attack of the new season for the Knicks, on the other side, the Raptors had already completed the defensive rotation.

Jordan quickly flanked Ewing, while Su Feng went inside and blocked Thomas for Jordan.

The only real noteworthy outsider on this Knicks team is Houston, and at this time, Carter is watching him closely.

Therefore, the Raptors inside, after trying to top the big ben, Ewing froze.

Snapped--!

People are ruthless faster.

A cutout steal from "The Old Hooligan."

Gangzhen, that is, the current Jordan is not as fast and flexible as before. Otherwise, Jordan should get the first attack of the Raptors in this new season through a one-stop fast one-off.

On the court, because the Raptors played a small lineup tonight, after Ewing made a mistake and was intercepted, the Knicks quickly retreated to prevent the Raptors from having a fast break.

It's just that the real seven-second fast break is never the first shot to switch.

After Jordan passed the ball to Nash, suddenly, with the help of Su Feng's pick-and-roll, Nash suddenly sped up and passed Ward like the wind.

And Su Feng, who gave Nash a pick-and-roll, also followed closely behind Nash, and quickly went straight into the Knicks' penalty area.

Now, before Ewing returned, the Knicks didn't even talk about false zone defense, and they didn't even stand up properly.

But the good news is that although Su Feng immediately used his running position to open the distance between him and Johnson, Houston quickly followed Su Feng in rotation.

But......

Just when the Knicks players thought that the Raptors' offense should turn into a positional battle, Nash continued to look at Su Feng on the court while throwing an alley towards the basket.

This is, look no one alley-oop!

"Steve, Sue has already passed. Are you trying to pass the ball back to Patrick?"

TNT TV station, the amazingly fast Knight will regret his habit of talking too fast in two seconds.

Because Ewing, who had just retreated back from defense, could receive Nash's "pass" at this height?

In the Knicks' penalty area, after jumping up, Ewing, who was still a small arm away from the basketball, saw that the ball was just a simple pass error by Nash.

After all, at this height, even if Su Feng hadn't run, Su Feng couldn't possibly get it.

Moreover, Jordan is still slowly wandering around the three-point line. In addition, Daben has just completed the pick-and-roll for his teammates.

Eh......

and many more! ?

What's the name of the kid who just passed Big Ben's cover and ran in from the other side?

Don't worry, for a long time to come, Ewing will have plenty of time to recall this man's name.

"Basketball Holy Land", when Vince Carter appeared above Ewing's head, the entire Madison Square Garden was instantly silent.

This......

This is impossible!

Looking at the shadow that completely covered his huge body, Ewing's pupils magnified countless times in an instant.

Similar to Su Feng's "Meteor Slam Dunk", Carter fully unfolded his body at this moment, like a big bow flying in the sky.

However, unlike "Meteor Slam Dunk", after securing the basketball with his own big hand, relying on his strong explosive power, Carter chose to continue sailing forward with this ball!

caveat!

A UFO appeared over New York!

Bang-dang-!

If one V is an open space for Jordan, then in Carter's dunk philosophy, there is only one defender in front of him, which is no different from an open space.

2:0.

The silent Madison Square Garden is the best compliment for Carter's dunk.

On TNT, Smith said excitedly: "Oh ho ho, Vince smashed Patrick!

9 seconds, the Raptors only took 9 seconds from the start to the completion of this attack! "

Smith's previous sentence was because his heart had been shocked by Carter's dunk.

And his last sentence is to remind Knight who just said that it is impossible to play a fast break in front of the Knicks' defense...

9-second attack, is it considered a fast break?

On the court, after the dunk landed, looking at the petrified Ewing, Carter raised the corner of his mouth coldly, as if he was the most beautiful boy in the audience.

"Su, I've fulfilled my bet!" In addition, regardless of what other people would think of this sentence, Carter shouted loudly at Su Feng.

And at this time, Ewing, who had just been released from the petrified state, immediately petrified again...

Bet! ?

Nima Hi!

This rookie, is he making a bet with me?

It has to be said that this is definitely the fastest reaction Ewing's brain has ever had.

However, before Ewing asked Carter to reason, Thomas, who was about to serve the baseline ball on the court, was already in a daze.

because......

On the court, the Raptors kept the ball tight.

Su Feng and Carter are in charge of robbing, Jordan sits at the back, and Da Ben intercepts the high-altitude ball. This is the Raptors version of the full-court "112 I'll help you speed up defense".

Anyway, if you don't want to play fast, then we will force you to play fast.

For this ball, Ward was not ready to catch the ball, and Thomas' serve was also "magic".
