Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

D'Antoni was also in ecstasy with Duke. Since the last time he had a fight with Donnie Walsh, the relationship between the two has become very delicate. Donnie Walsh didn't even make a team trade. It annoyed him that he had been informed.

Fortunately, the result was going in the direction he expected. Not only did his proud disciple Marion return to him, but also players like Yi Jianlian and Korver who fit his tactical system very well, and the players who were traded were just right. Instead of the players in his system, the strength of the team has been greatly enhanced.

But happiness is always accompanied by troubles, and soon a problem appeared before his eyes again.

Yi Jianlian plays power forward, Marion plays small forward, and Livingston plays a substitute, so Korver, as a swingman, can only play the position of shooting guard. In this way, his position and Crawford's position will overlap. .

He has to choose who to start at shooting guard.

"Got to talk to Jamal."

In fact, he is more inclined to Crawford to play the sixth man.

......

"Coach, do you have any instructions?"

Crawford smelled the coffee on the table and asked calmly.

His perception of D'Antoni is average, neither good nor bad, more equivalent to cooperation at work. This time D'Antoni suddenly came to him, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Could it be that the team still has to make a trade? I'm a bargaining chip?" He felt a little sadness in his heart. After four years in the Knicks, he still had feelings.

But D'Antoni's words quickly dispelled his thoughts.

"After unanimous consultation, our coaching staff felt that your role to the team is far more than that, and your ability has not been fully utilized."

D'Antoni decided to come first and then kill.

Crawford was also stunned when he heard the words. This was too different from what he expected. This seemed to be a gesture of meritorious deeds.

"Strictly speaking, your offensive role overlaps with Duke's. You are a very good offensive player with the ball, and so is Duke, but there is only one basketball on the basketball court, and Duke is the core of the team's offense. , when the two of you are on the court at the same time, there must be one of you who can only attack without the ball."

"Duke has to connect the team's offense at the same time. You can't compare with him in this regard. At the same time, your offense without the ball is far inferior to your offense with the ball."

"Based on these, I hope you can serve as the team's sixth man. You will be the offensive core of the rotation, and you will also have unlimited firepower. At the same time, I guarantee that your playing time will be more than 30 minutes."

D'Antoni finally stated his purpose.

Crawford completely understood D'Antoni's thoughts now, and he was also lost in thought.

In fact, he has discovered the overlap with Duke a long time ago. He also tried to attack without the ball, but the effect was not very good. He thought the team would trade him. Now it seems that D'Antoni's game is very good. yes.

In the end he chose to compromise and nodded towards D'Antoni.

D'Antoni also showed a gratified smile. So far, the lineup he imagined has taken shape.

......

Because the regular season is coming, four players quickly passed the medical examination to join the team.

On the morning of October 10, Duke came to the team training hall.

As soon as he entered the team training hall, Duke saw four familiar and unfamiliar faces.

As the leader of the team, Duke stepped forward to welcome his new teammates.

"Sean, I finally saw you in person. I heard the coach always praise you, saying that you are one of the best players in his heart, which makes me envious."

Marion smiled when he heard the words. He naturally knew that he was here to assist Duke. Before, he was afraid that the young people would be young and energetic. The attitude of holding any illusions also changes accordingly.

"Haha, my level is just like this. I'm no better than you. You are still young. You will definitely be one of the best superstars in the league in the future."

The two complimented each other.

After a while, Duke chatted with the other three separately.

"A Lian, I didn't expect it. I was an opponent two days ago, but now I'm a teammate. Don't worry, I will pass you a few more balls during the game."

"Kyle, your shooting level is amazing, I have always wanted to learn from your superb shooting skills..."

"Livingston, don't be discouraged. Injuries are not terrible. I have been seriously injured before and stood up again..."

D'Antoni looked at Duke who was mingling with the new aid, and nodded in relief again. He is indeed the person he fancyed, and he has the demeanor he used to be.

Duke: Shameless.

Immediately afterwards, the whole team also started intense training, trying to make the four of them integrate into the team as soon as possible.

......

On October 10, the nba29-2008 regular season officially started!

The Knicks did not play today, and their regular season opener was scheduled for the next day.

Today's opener is considered a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Celtics finally defeated the Cavaliers led by James with a score of 90-85.

Poor little Zhan was once again defeated by the Big Three of the Green Army, telling him that Jiang is still old and hot.

The other two were the defending champion Lakers 96-76 victory over the Trail Blazers.

公牛108-95战胜雄鹿，状元郎罗斯发挥尚可，9中3拿下11分4篮板9助攻，另外还有4次失误。

October 10, American Airlines Arena, Miami.

The high-profile Knicks away game against the Heat is about to begin.

"Everyone in front of the TV, good morning, this is the CCTV5 sports channel of China Central Radio and Television Station, and now we are about to show you the 2008-2009 NBA regular season..."

"I'm Yu Jia."

"I'm Zhang Weiping."

Central Five finally chose to live broadcast the game between the Knicks and the Heat under the balance, and gave up the live broadcast of the Rockets.

On the one hand, because this is the first game after the transfer of the UAE, fans across the country are still looking forward to the UAE.

On the other hand, it is because of Duke. When he played in the CBA, Duke left a deep impression on people. Some people even called him the Jordan of the CBA. For various reasons, Duke also won many fans in China. , and he still has the blood of China, which makes him even more popular.

As for the Du Yi combination hyped up by social media, it's pure nonsense.

Yu Jia was the first to raise the topic.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of today's game?"

"Hey, the Knicks are not easy to play in today's game. The Heat have superstar Wade and Randolph who was just traded from the Knicks. Don't underestimate Randolph. His lethality in the low post But it’s very scary, I don’t know if the United Arab Emirates can restrain him today, and the duel between Duke and Beasley is also attracting attention today, the matchup between the second place and No. [-].”

Zhang Weiping naturally became a fan of the Knicks, always thinking of the Knicks.

Yu Jia next to him is also a matter of course, the Chinese don't support the Chinese, are they still helping the foreign devils to beat the Chinese?

He also followed Zhang Weiping's words and continued.

"Besides, the Knicks have just made a big deal, and the four new aids have just spent two days with the team. The tacit understanding with the team must not be ideal. This is very detrimental to the Knicks."

......

The attraction of this game to Chinese fans is also beyond imagination, and the Sina live broadcast room has exploded at this time.

"Guangdong fans come to report, UAE, come on, Duke, come on, the Knicks will win!"

"I hope Duke can pass the ball more to the UAE, don't be like the Bucks who don't pass the ball."

"Duke 20+10, UAE 20+10, Knicks beat the Heat!"

"Let's dream upstairs, Wade beat the Knicks."

"I hope you don't disappoint me. I secretly watched the live broadcast with my mobile phone during class time."

"Hahahaha, me upstairs too"

......

"Shh!"

A picturesque gesture put the ball into the basket, and Duke also ended his warm-up training.

Logically speaking, he should be very excited about his first regular season game, but at this time, he is still in his mind.

"Is it related to the atmosphere of the scene?" Duke attributed the reason to off-court factors.

The heat's home atmosphere is really hip, and the arena attendance rate in the regular season opener is only three-quarters. If it is in New York, it is estimated that it will be hard to find a ticket.

Suddenly Duke felt a murderous aura behind him, and Duke was startled.

"Which troublemaker wants to harm Zheng?"

Looking back, I saw Randolph staring at him viciously, with a feeling of hatred for taking his wife away.

Duke smiled disdainfully.

"Brother dead, wait and see how I teach you."
