NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 117: new season preseason

Time passed quickly, and it was already late September in a blink of an eye.

It has been half a month since the start of the training camp, and the new season is coming quietly.

Players who indulged during the offseason also returned to normal size.

The player's touch has also returned to normal levels.

Lian Dao's integration in the Knicks is quite good.

The most important thing is that the Knicks don't have an All-Star player, and the second is his ability.

Whether it's breakthrough offense, outside three-pointer, connecting teammates and outside defense, Lian Dao's strength has been recognized by his teammates.

In particular, Lian Dao's organizational passing also allowed the Knicks players to get rid of the phenomenon of fighting on their own and collecting statistics.

Under Lian Dao's organization, all players also move and play according to the tactical system.

During this time, Al Harrington and Lian Dao also gradually reconciled.

The main thing is that Lian Dao knows how to be a man, and each of them has a Gucci limited-edition sunglasses as a gift, and his teammates are more kind to Lian Dao.

Everyone knows that the core of the team is Lian Dao, and if he wants to play in the Knicks, he must have a good relationship with Lian Dao.

Otherwise, the trader must be himself.

Moreover, during the training period with Lian Dao, his teammates also discovered that although Lian Dao was the top pick, he was never arrogant.

Strong, not arrogant, although it is the core of tactics, but never overpowers others.

Therefore, everyone also accepted Lian Dao as the boss of the Knicks.

Not long after the training camp ended, the Knicks also ushered in the preseason tour of the new season.

Apart from Lian Dao, the one who surprised D'Antoni the most during this training camp was Millsap.

Millsap also fully demonstrated his strength in the Knicks. He can cut inside or outside. And has an excellent mid-range shot.

The outside three-pointer also made D'Antoni shine.

Millsap's defense is also quite good. Although he is not tall, his weight and strength advantages allow him to defend the fourth position without stretching his hips at all.

Not only does he not pull his hips, but Millsap is the Knicks' best inside defense.

D'Antoni felt that this time the Knicks really found a treasure.

Especially the pick-and-roll cooperation between Millsap and Lian Dao is also very tacit and excellent.

If Lian Dao is Nash, then Millsap is equivalent to Stoudemire.

David Lee, the most impressive thing about him is the 0.1-second lore when facing the Bobcats.

On December 21, 2006, the Knicks played against the Bobcats at home. The two sides tied at 109 with 0.1 seconds left in the second overtime. The Knicks had the ball and Jamal Crawford threw the ball. Passed near the basket, David Lee point the ball into the basket, helping the Knicks kill the Bobcats.

David Lee started the game for 49 minutes and scored 10 points and 19 rebounds on 4 of 8 shots.

David Lee's lore is also the shortest time-consuming lore in NBA history. Many teams have tried to follow suit in such a desperate situation, but there are almost no successful cases.

David Lee's offensive skills are very gorgeous. Although he is a left-handed player, he can also complete shots with his right hand.

Excellent footwork, flexible ball control, superior vision, excellent passing, is a player with no blind spots in offensive skills.

But on the defensive end, David Lee's performance will be greatly reduced, and the only positive effect may be rebounding.

Moreover, if there is another person in the Knicks who plays for love besides Lian Dao, then this person is David Lee.

David Lee's family is wealthy and wealthy. His father owns thirteen fast food chains and a dozen supermarket chains.

Grandfather is a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in St. Louis. He has donated more than 70 million in his life and is a standard business predator.

His grandfather used to spend a lot of money, donating 90 million yuan at random, and personally funded the construction of zoos and forest parks in the local area, just because his grandfather liked lions and jaguars.

The family is so rich, but David Lee is quite low-key, and was later named the most low-key rich second generation in the NBA.

The task that D'Antoni gave David Lee was also rebounding and shooting.

…

The day before the start of the preseason.

On TNT's side, Barkley and Kenny Smith also invited magician and chief Robert Parish as guests on "NBA Insider".

The teams for the new season were analyzed.

There is no doubt that the strongest players this season are the Lakers and Celtics.

This is not only recognized by fans, but also by many retired players.

"I can't think of any team with a stronger roster than the Lakers."

As the legendary superstar of the Lakers, Magic Johnson also said on the show, which shows that he is also very optimistic about his old club.

Of course, his statement was also questioned by Chief Robert Parrish.

And proposed that the Celtics are the most powerful team.

You can tell from the people they invite, it's just to create something to watch.

One is the famous Lakers Magic Johnson, and the other is the famous Celtics chief Robert Parish.

A natural enemy, but he has been retired for many years. At this time, his opinions are inconsistent, and most of them are just for fun.

Of course, in addition to highlights, there are also some personal grievances mixed in.

Then these people also began to comment on other teams.

As we talked, we talked about the Knicks.

"How's the Knicks?"

Buckley asked.

Lian Dao can be said to be the NBA that Barkley watched him step by step.

And in March Madness, several key USC games were explained by Barkley.

Therefore, Barkley is also looking forward to it, what does Johnson think about this.

Johnson said: "The Knicks played badly for a season just to get sickle."

"The Knicks chose to build a team with sickle, there is no doubt about it."

"According to what I know about Sickle, in his rookie season, he is likely to average more than 20 points per game."

"As for the Knicks' record, it depends on their teammates and D'Antoni's coaching level."

"As the Eastern Conference Knicks, if the coach and teammates are strong, they actually have a chance to make the playoffs."

At this time, Chief Robert Parish also added.

"Even if the Knicks can't make the playoffs, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that he has to show outstanding personal ability in his rookie season."

"After the Knicks dealt with the previous junk contract, their salary space is very healthy now. If they can't achieve results this season, they can also sign up in the free market next season."

These two people are very optimistic about Lian Dao, and Lian Dao's record in NCAA March Madness is too dazzling.

If it weren't for this season, the Lakers and Celtics both aim to win the championship, and the two of them will definitely intervene in the competition for cheap rice.

Barkley really said at the end: "I can't wait to see Sickle's performance in the new season!"

"As the NCAA record harvester, can he also perform well in the NBA?"

This question also made many viewers who watched "NBA Insider" very interested.

The NBA preseason is about to begin~www.mtlnovel.com~ They also want to see how good Lian Dao is.

However, Lian Dao only missed the first two of the eight preseason games.

They were against the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks.

In the game against the Suns, Lian Dao scored a triple-double with 46 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

In the end, they defeated the Suns 123:118 to get off to a good start.

In the second game against the Dallas Mavericks, Lian Dao scored 38 points, 16 assists and 9 rebounds.

In the end, he beat the Dallas Mavericks with a three-pointer at the buzzer and won the second victory.

And then, D'Antoni did not let Lian Dao participate in the next game.

Lian Dao's performance does not have much meaning for the next preseason. D'Antoni hopes to hone other players when Lian Dao is not on the court, and it is also a good time to inspect the new season players.

Lian Dao also agreed to D'Antoni's arrangement.
