Chapter 118: Opening game against the Heat
In the next six games, the Knicks also won and lost.
In the preseason, basically the core players seldom come on the field, and even if they do, they only play for a few minutes.
In these six games, the best performer was Millsap, averaging 28.3 points, 9 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
Followed by David Lee, averaging 24.5 points, 14 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.
The Knicks' lineup is also constantly improving.
Especially the cooperation between insider David Lee and Millsap is quite good.
Millsap is the main defensive player on the inside, making up for David Lee's defensive pressure to a certain extent.
And David Lee's scoring, rebounding and passing also made the inside offense more rapid and smooth.
Although the Knicks' interior defense still has a lot of loopholes, they also showed strong offensive capabilities.
At the end of the preseason, the Knicks also achieved a record of 4 wins and 4 losses.
In the first two games, the fans also had a preliminary experience of Lian Dao's strength. Although he did not play in the next six games, many fans expressed a little disappointment.
But judging from the first two games, Lian Dao's performance in the regular season will definitely not be bad.
For the Knicks, this record is not good or bad, and everyone in the preseason is mainly training. However, for the New York Knicks fans, they also see the hope of the Knicks rebuilding.
The fans are also full of expectations for the regular season.
The new season will start on October 28.
The Knicks' opponent in the first opener is the Miami Heat.
After the Miami Heat traded for Jermaine O'Neal last season, Wade also led the team to the fifth record in the Eastern Conference.
Although they lost to the Atlanta Hawks by a big score of 3:4 in the first round of the playoffs, it can also be seen that the strength of the Miami Heat is quite good.
Facing such an opponent in the opening game, to be honest, you can really see the true strength of the Knicks.
Too strong. For the Knicks, the opening game is a massacre. Even if a small team wins, it will not be able to verify the real strength of the Knicks. Teams like the Heat, which are at the bottom of the playoffs, are even worse. Suitable as an opponent for the opener.

October 28, 7:30 p.m. Miami Heat American Airlines Arena.
That's right, the season opener, the first game is an away game.
Not only that, but the next game is also an away game, and it will be back-to-back away games.
There's no way, last season's record was too bad in order to show off, so there are a lot of back-to-backs this season.
Today's American Airlines Arena, fans also filled the entire auditorium.
There are not only fans of the Heat, but also fans of the Knicks. Most of the Knicks fans made a special trip to watch Lian Dao's game.
If it's just Heat fans, the American Airlines Arena cannot be full.
Although the Heat were fifth in the Eastern Conference last season, they have not been in the ranks of championship teams.
After winning the championship in 2006, Miami's ball market was instantly upgraded to a big ball market. However, due to the team's record in these two seasons, the attendance rate actually declined. Compared with other Eastern teams, it is still relatively good. , but compared with New York and the Celtics, it is still a bit worse.
The stadium was full, which was rare in the regular season last season.
Warm up before the game.
Millsap came to Lian Dao's side.
"Sickle, do you think we can win the opening match?"
Their opponent today is the Heat.
The 28-year-old Dwyane Wade is at the peak of his strength.
There are not many people in the league who can compete with him in terms of shooting guards, and they can be counted on one hand.
He averaged 30.2 points per game last season and just won the scoring title last season.
It can be said that the limelight is in full swing.
Although Jermaine O'Neal fell out of the All-Star lineup, his strength is still good.
Michael Beasley has become more and more mature after his rookie season.
Coach Eric Spoelstra, as the young coach of the league, is also deeply trusted by fortune tellers.
Although it is said to be at the bottom of the playoffs, the overall strength is stronger than the Knicks.
"Old bird, you seem to lack confidence." Lian Dao punched Millsap's biceps and teased.
Seeing that Lian Dao wasn't nervous at all, Millsap couldn't help secretly smacking his tongue, Lian Dao's mentality was indeed strong enough, and he also smiled at this time.
CCTV also signed the live broadcast rights of the Knicks with the NBA.
