The Point Guard is Here

Remember [New] in a second! In New York City, no one laughed at Little Jack's clumsy secretly stepping on two boats. After all, even the two parties didn't jump out to say anything. Couldn't Jack give his trophy to the Clippers? So what if it is sent by mistake?

Can't Jack stay in two hotels in one night? In his capacity, the mattress in this hotel is uncomfortable, so it is normal to go to another hotel.

The New York media always spared no effort to help Fan Xi modify his image. Even if they paid the price of prying the earth, they must correct the reflection of Jack Fan.

The New York Knicks' operations during the All-Star Weekend were scored super high by the local media. The arrival of Reggie Miller, Stephen Jackson, and Juwan Howard made the Knicks even stronger. They did not spend a lot of money, but made up for the exposure in the first half of the season out of the defect.

Fan Xi attended the press conference of the three new teammates. Generally speaking, players joining in the middle of the season seldom have a press conference. But to show extra respect for these three, a press conference was held.

Reggie Miller chatted with Fanhee for a long time before the game.

When he came to New York, he was burdened with a lot of psychological burden. His current mood is a bit like a woman who went into the sea for the first time. There is a humiliation of betrayal, and there are many longings for the future and expectations for new postures. .

Fanhee hopes that he will be happier in the future and enjoy life in New York.

Miller asked Fan Xi: Can you abstain from pornography in the future? My last dream is pinned on you, if you mess up and cause the team to collapse at a critical moment, I must kill you.

Fan Xi said, put it on me.

Reggie Miller's idea was a bit like having Vanhey wear a condom, just in case. What he didn't know was that Fan Xi was different from ordinary men, he was more brilliant and stronger as he went through the waves.

Fan Xi said to Reggie Miller, New York fans are excited about your arrival, and they will welcome you in the lane.

Reggie Miller said that there is no need to welcome in the lane, right?

Fan Xi said, what you want.

In addition to having a long conversation with Reggie Miller, Vanhee went to Juwan Howard.

Juwan Howard has been devastated since the dunk by Fan Xie over the top of his head. He always feels like a nightmare shadow following him when he walks on the court. In addition, the atmosphere in the locker room in Orlando is really not good. He was the leader of the locker room, and as a result, he was sluggish, and Orlando was even more chaotic.

Especially Tracy McGrady and Alan Houston, they have both got incompatible. Thinking back to the beginning of the season, McGrady was still bragging in front of the media, saying that Alan Houston was the best teammate of his career, and they would definitely create unprecedented good results.

But now, after all, it's a mess.

Because of the mess within the team, Juwan Howard lost his temper. So the Knicks invited the former Mr. Billionaire from the Magic to New York with only a small price. A first round in 2005 and a first round in 2008.

Originally, the Magic wanted to take back their first round in 2004, because the Magic's record this season is really bad, and it is very likely to get the top three picks. But...the Knicks are not stupid.

So, after bargaining, the Knicks brought Juwan Howard back with three melons and two dates.

Juwan Howard is Fan Xi's rookie in the same class. He also had a good stat of 20+10 in his peak period. Although his personal offensive ability is not good, he is indeed a solid defensive master, and his ability to eat cakes is also good.

Although he was a little sluggish after being buckled by death, the New York Knicks believe in the person who needs to be able to change the bell.

However, the surprising thing is.

When Juwan Howard came to New York, he held Fan Xi's hand tightly when he saw Fan Xi: Jack, I've watched your All-Star dunks, especially the one that directly dunks Chris. Afterwards, I felt much better.

Forehead….

Juwan Howard was a loyal and honest man.

He expresses his thoughts candidly.

Fan Xi was blocked by his frankness. He originally prepared a lot of words to appease Howard, hoping to boost Howard's spirit.

Unexpectedly, before he even opened his mouth, he recovered his former expression.

And the reason for his recovery was that someone more unlucky than him appeared.

This person was still his old boss.

I have visited Chris's wife. His condition is not very good. The doctor diagnosed him with a moderate concussion and needs to rest in bed. He is now a little afraid of light and water, and he can't take care of himself. Thinking of him lying on the hospital bed, I feel better.

Juwan Howard expressed his thoughts with great sincerity.

And he told Fan Xi: Next, I will definitely support your work with all my strength. I will show my 100% enthusiasm and create enough space for you to dunk. I want the whole world to see that Jack's crotch will never Just me, Juwan Howard.

Honest people's 'maliciousness' is like gravel hidden in rice, giving people a kind of unexpected harm.

Fan Xi didn't expect it. He originally planned to come to comfort him, but he didn't expect it to become Zhuwan Howard's loyalty contest.

But it's also good.

Save some rhetoric.

Stephen Jackson is another important addition. He is a very tough player, known for his tough style of play, capable of three-point shooting, and even tougher in defense.

His personality was a bit like Sprewell, so it was Madman who went to chat with him.

If there is no accident, he will come back in the playoffs, and Grant Hill will also make a comeback at that time. At that time... the Knicks can completely implement a strong running lineup.

At the press conference, Reggie Miller said he was here for the championship.

Moreover, the super sharpshooter who once had a brilliant record said very modestly: I just want a championship, so I chose the No. 1 jersey.

Stephen Jackson chose the number 99. These temperamental people with problematic heads usually prefer a larger number, which looks quite masculine.

Juwan Howard picked No. 0.

He said that he was a 0 in front of Fan Xie, and he hoped that his 0 could help Fan Xie create more powerful straight-up Huanglongs.

The remark was as strange as it could be.

...

On the morning of the second day after the All-Star weekend, the Knicks ushered in the first game of the second half of the season against the New Jersey Nets.

The Nets have a new coach, from Byron Scott to Frank.

Frank is more obedient. To be honest, Scott also played against Jason Kidd in the player era. Generally speaking, Jason Kidd has to win more.

At present, the situation in the east is more complicated.

Originally, the Pacers had the highest record, but after the battle in Auburn Hills, the Pistons topped it, and the Nets also entered second place. The Knicks currently rank fourth and the Pacers rank third.

However, according to this situation, it is a certainty for the Knicks to enter the third place. After all... the Pacers themselves gave up and sent Reggie Miller to New York City.

The same city derby has always been the game that attracts the most local fans.

In the past three or four years, the strong rise of the New Jersey Nets has made New York fans very uncomfortable. These guys are the most arrogant group of people in the world. They look down on anyone, especially the New Jersey Nets in the countryside. But they couldn't beat them.

This season, the Knicks have completed a double play against the Nets, which has boosted the momentum of the home fans crazily.

The game was Reggie Miller's debut for the New York Knicks, and Van Heede started him.

Juwan Howard also got a chance to start.

The joining of the two newcomers made the scene burst into cheers.

Reggie Miller quickly entered the state, and his running was seamlessly embedded in the Knicks' existing system. After breaking through the defense, Vanhey immediately found Reggie Miller who ran to the bottom corner of the three-point line through the cover of Juwan Howard. Pass the ball to him.

Miller catches and shoots... Swoosh!

Started with a three-pointer.

After the goal, Miller even deliberately strangled his neck with both hands. He used the action of provoking New York fans to make reconciliation with Madison Garden Arena.

Sure enough, Director Spike Lee was the first to stand up. He was wearing Miller's No. 1 jersey, and he danced excitedly.

The fans at the scene no longer f--k Miller, but cheered for him loudly.

Changing sides to fight again, the Knicks' defensive strength has not dropped at all.

Although the Nets had the momentum to set off a fast break, they were held back by Fan Xie's madmen, Miller, and Ratliff, the shot-blocking king. Although Miller is a shooter, his defense is also commendable.

The Knicks' defensive quality at this time is at the top of the league.

boom!

On the first ball, Jefferson shot and hit the iron.

Juwan Howard is a more reliable defender of offensive rebounds, and he passes the basketball to Fan Xie.

Fan Xi entered the frontcourt again, and he still forcibly crushed it... He doesn't want to play too many tricks now, just like a poor upstart who is always willing to brag that he is now the best in the league's backcourt the power of.

Fan Xie went into the free throw line, attracted a pincer attack, and gave it all to Howard.

Howard made a solid mid-range hit.

After scoring the goal, he was still a little unhappy: Jack, why didn't you rush in and dunk them?

Fan Xie said to Howard, a rookie of the same class, but in fact he was already a cut older than him: Dunk is also two points, you take it and I take it the same.

The level of attack and tactics displayed by the Knicks at this time has surpassed the New Jersey Nets that have reached the finals twice.

Jason Kidd pessimistically found that the Nets have lost the level to compete with the Knicks head-on. Although the Nets have a younger lineup, they should theoretically have a greater impact.

However, Fan Xi is too terrifying. The strength buried in various positions of Knicks is stimulated by him, like a single spark forming a prairie fire.

Jason Kidd even has a feeling of facing the Lakers back then, which is a kind of structural crushing.

The most terrifying thing is that the New York Knicks still have two small forwards who have not officially returned to the team, Stephen Jackson and Grant Hill.

While Jackson isn't much of a ball-handler, Grant Hill is thought to have lost most of his athleticism.

However, with Fan Xi's ability to turn stones into gold.

How scary would a well-staffed New York be?

After halftime, the Knicks established an 11-point lead.

After entering the third quarter, the Nets seized the opportunity to chase points... Reggie Miller and Juwan Howard took a rest, and the Knicks' decline in the third and fourth positions showed.

Fan Xi finally stabilized the situation.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks led by 3 points.

Then, Reggie Miller came on the stage, and the peripheral firepower was covered to the top... The Knicks' combat effectiveness immediately burst out.

Fan Xie plus Madman plus Miller has the feeling of Jordan plus Pippen plus Steve Kerr back then.

If you want to break through, you need to have a breakthrough, you need to have a mid-range shot, and you need a three-pointer to have a three-pointer.

The Nets quickly lost.

123:111.

The Knicks won without waves, just like Schumacher racing with ordinary drivers. Although ordinary drivers have moments close to the car king, the whole process is a crushing victory for the car king.

Jason Kidd declined to be interviewed after the game.

The new head coach did not discuss more details of the game. Instead, he was picky and complained about the penalty of catching a certain throw-in.

Kenyon Martin also said that Vanhee's behavior of dunking Chris Webber into a concussion is causing a stir in the league, and the defense against him inside has been lax.

And he also said that the schedule of the All-Star weekend affected his performance.

Losers always have a reason.

Reggie Miller, who scored 23 points in the game, said modestly: It's because of Jack's good pass that I have such good data of 7 of 7 shots.

Jack is definitely the best passing point guard in the league today. I have never received such a comfortable pass. Sprewell was as gentle as I imagined. He discussed philosophy with me. I was obviously not his opponent. He's a gentleman and polite in the locker room, which is very different from his image on the pitch.

Juwan and Anthony Mason are younger and more powerful than I imagined. Mason is still the ultimate killer in New York.

And the shot blocker, his defense is so cool. I look forward to him and Dikembe Mutombo propping up the sky in New York. And, I can't wait to get to the playoffs, because at that time, we will Two great players back.

Reggie Miller praised everyone like a leader, including the seemingly idle head coach, also called by him: the most easy-going head coach I have ever met.

People say that Reggie Miller is the king of trash talk, but he's really good at speaking.

This made Fan Xi think that he can apply for the job of commentator after retiring. He thinks that Reggie Miller may be more suitable than Charles Barkley.

At this time, the madman teased Fan Xi: Do you want your former teammates to go to the TV station to speak well for you?

Fan Xi raised his eyebrows.

The atmosphere in the locker room tonight is extremely relaxed, but behind everyone's smile is a strong longing.

Everyone knows that this year will be the year they have the best chance of breaking through.

Fan Xi has been waiting for seven full years.

He went from unprecedented to the youngest finals mvp, to the seven years of being chased by others in obscurity. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he finally has a chance to regain his glory.

There is no reason to miss out.
