Chapter 4082 The new season begins! Strong against the Spurs!
"Viewers, welcome to the 2004-2005 NBA regular season, the Knicks' sixth game. The Knicks face the Spurs at home! I am the commentator Zhang Weiping."
"I am the commentator Su Dong."
In the Huaxia broadcast room, two commentators were talking to the camera with smiles on their faces.
"Today is November 16th, Tuesday. Tomorrow is International College Students' Day. I wonder how many college students are watching the game in front of the TV today?!" Su Dong said with a chuckle.
Zhang Weiping on the side nodded and continued: "Whether you are a college student or someone who has entered the society, you must be looking forward to today's game!"
"Since the beginning of the new season, in the summer league, the Knicks seem to have been testing the team's bench lineup. And in the official regular season, the opponents in the first five games have not given the Knicks any time.
Brings enough pressure.”
"In the first five games, the Knicks won easily."
"And today's game is the first strong opponent the Knicks will encounter in the new season! The Spurs!"
"I believe today's game will be very exciting! It will also give us a clearer sense of how the Knicks' strength has changed compared to last season."
Su Dong on the side heard this and added: "Yes."
"Not only that, the grievances between Knicks head coach Han Ning and the Spurs are already well known. So there is another layer of interest in today's game."
"Whether the Spurs can complete their revenge, or Han Ning can lead the Knicks and continue to win against the Spurs!"
............
Just when the two of them were giving warm-up commentary for the start of the game.
In the Madison Garden Arena, Han Ning was looking at the players warming up in front of him with a serious face.
As Zhang Weiping and Su Dong said.
The Knicks have never faced a truly strong opponent before.
Therefore, it is difficult to detect whether there are any deficiencies in the abilities of the current Knicks' new four big men compared to last season.
Moreover, whether the defensive tactical system of the substitute lineup is effective when facing strong opponents.
Moreover, this year's Spurs won the championship in the original historical process.
And now, although this Spurs team does not have Ginobili.
But before this season, we also made some signings.
First up is Devin Brown.
After playing for the Rockets for two seasons, he finally went to the Spurs as a backup point guard, just like in the original historical process.
Subsequently, the Spurs used Mobley to trade Antawn Jamison from the Mavericks.
Last season, Mobley performed very well with the Spurs.
Basically, it can be said that this is the performance of the sixth man in the top five in the entire league.
Using him to trade for Antoine Jamison, on the surface, no one will think there is any problem.
The value of the two people should be considered equal.
However, Han Ning knew it very well.
This wave, the Spurs made a lot of money!
Han Ning even wanted to call and ask the Spurs' general manager if he had also been reborn.
In the original course of history, it was during this season that Antawn Jamison would win this season's Best Sixth Man award.
Averaged 19.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.
With this data, there is no doubt about winning the Best Sixth Man Award!
Moreover, compared with old cat Mobley, Antoine Jamison's stability and diversification on the offensive end is definitely one of the team's weapons for attacking the city. Long-range shots are just a conventional weapon for him, which makes him even more...
What gives defensive players a headache is his half-hook throw after catching the ball with his back to the basket and moving laterally in the penalty area.
And Antoine Jamieson's physical fitness and jumping ability are very good.
Except for the blocking aspect, which is somewhat unsatisfactory.
But he is very good in rebounding, stealing, and defensive skills.
Perhaps, compared with Ginobili in the original historical process, he is not so suitable for the Spurs.
But compared to old cat Mobley, it is much more suitable!
With him, the offensive firepower of the Spurs' bench has at least been raised to a higher level!
It can be said that the Spurs' troika has been re-formed!
Plus various other signings and transfer operations.
The current Spurs team's starting lineup is composed of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Bruce Bowen, Rasu Nesterovich, and Antawn Jamison.
Among the substitutes, there are also strong players like Brent Barry, Devin Brown, and Glenn Robinson.
It can be said that this Spurs team is very strong!
It may even be stronger than in the original historical process!
It is the most appropriate way to test the Knicks’ changes in strength this season.
It is also the best opportunity to verify the Knicks' new four big men.
After all, other teams may not fight the Knicks in the paint during the regular season.
But the Spurs are different.
Let alone others, Tim Duncan will definitely fight hard with the Knicks.
.....................
"beep!"
Finally, the whistle sounded and the game officially started.
Dayao stood in the center circle and jumped the ball with Tim Duncan.
The referee threw the basketball high.
Then, the two of them jumped up together.
Dayao was the first to touch the basketball and gave it to his teammates.
The Knicks got the first offensive opportunity.
Allen Iverson dribbles to the frontcourt.
Immediately afterwards, the Knicks players started running.
After a season of running-in, the Knicks players have become more and more familiar with each other.
Especially when there are no changes in the starting lineup, it is also a big advantage for the Knicks.
The Knicks' first offense ended with a field goal from Allen Iverson.
The two teams played back and forth.
Even though the defensive capabilities of both teams rank among the best in the entire league.
However, neither the Knicks nor the Spurs can completely limit their opponents' offensive firepower.
When the game reached the third minute of the first quarter, Han Ning suddenly called a timeout.
"beep!"
When the whistle sounded, players from both teams returned to their respective benches.
In the commentary box, Barkley asked with some confusion: "The game has just begun, the score of the two teams has only reached 7 to 8, and the Knicks are only 1 point behind. Why did Han Ning call this timeout?"

Chapter completed!
