The New York City Derby is about to begin, and everyone must have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Nearly 20,000 people came to the scene and packed Madison Garden to capacity. Of course, there were also many celebrities, wealthy people and government officials.

Most of these people support today's home team, the New York Knicks.

If we talk about ranking in the minds of New York locals, the Knicks will always be ranked ahead of the Han people. The reason is very simple. Before the United States was liberated, New York was a colony of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and the name of the Knicks happened to cater to the Netherlands.

the meaning of.

Speaking of the origin of the name of the New York Knicks, it is really difficult to describe it. "Knicks" or "Knicks Box" originally meant those Dutch people who crossed the ocean to New York, the "New World", to pan for gold in the 17th century AD.

The underwear worn by people (KNICKERBOCKER, bloomers). It sounds really incredible: the fashionable New Yorkers can think of anything, and finally decided to use the Dutch underwear as the name of their team.

I really don’t know how weird America is. It was colonized by others, but they don’t feel any shame. They often name some meaningful “things” from these countries, such as Celtics and so on.

Local New Yorkers only recognize one Knick. On the contrary, they all feel that Han Chinese are immigrants and should not belong to the city of New York at all.

In fact, this kind of situation can be found all over the United States, such as Los Angeles. The locals in Los Angeles only know one Lakers, Clippers, etc. How many people will support it...

But among the spectators tonight, there is no league president Stern.

At this moment, Stern was sitting in the league president's office watching this derby that was attracting national attention.

Originally, the league headquarters was the closest to Madison Garden, but Stern still didn't go to watch the game. Why?

It’s not because Stern has been paying attention to the Han Chinese team during this period, but because he is afraid that if he sees the Han Chinese team’s “sexy moves” again when he comes to the live game, he will not be able to help but call Han Chinese general manager Mitch Kupche.

Ke'er slapped, what a trouble maker, the Han Chinese team has been so troublesome recently, but in any game that the entire nation is paying attention to, the Han Chinese team will always have one or two incidents that will occupy the news space tomorrow.

He thought that his heart was not very good and needed to be taken good care of. Only by administering the medicine in a gentle way would it be effective. It was like a Han team that would cause big troubles at every turn, which frightened his heart. He still wanted to live a few more years.

What year...

Of course, if the Han people still want to cause trouble today, he will definitely kill him. If he does it again and again, he can only tolerate the Han people twice.

I have to say that Bruce's luck is really bad this year. He can't watch any of the important games of the Han people. He just memorizes them. These games are basically scheduled from Monday to Thursday. This makes Bruce how to watch the game?

Are you asking for leave from the teacher again to watch the Han Chinese team match?

How is this possible? Not to mention that the teacher didn't say anything on the surface, but privately he would inevitably think that Bruce might as well just drop out of school, why come to school and waste resources?

Besides, Bruce doesn't think it's worth watching. Even if it's a derby, he won't be interested at all, unless the Han Chinese team reaches the finals, which is about the same.

…

The guest commentators for today's game are still Hubie Brown and Kevin Harlan. There is no way, Barkley and Kenny Smith in the previous life have not yet heard of retirement, so everything is basically still ruled by the old commentators.

If you want to listen to Barkley and the others’ explanations, you’ll have to wait at least until the new century!

The New York Knicks will start the game with center Patrick Ewing, power forward Christian Laettner, small forward Larry Johnson, shooting guard Alan Houston, and point guard Stephon Marbury.

The Knicks' starting lineup is basically unchanged.

There is a lack of changes in the starting lineup of the Han people. The starting lineup is center Alonzo Mourning, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Glenn Rice, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard

Steve Nash.

Starting point guard Mark Jackson actually took a rest, so the Hans asked Nash, who had been a substitute since the trade, to assume the role of starting point guard.

I have to say that this young team of the New York Hans is so weird. So far in the season, they have not put together a complete lineup to play. The starting players are "resting" for different reasons in every game. Although everyone has

We know what is going on with the Han team, but no one takes the initiative to say that they are not doing well. Anyway, everyone looks at this matter with the mentality that it has nothing to do with themselves. What do they think?

It's someone else's right to arrange players. What you do with your chattering around, to put it mildly, is none of your business...

The Han Chinese team's lineup is not very stable, that's for sure, but they also have advantages. At least until now, the Han Chinese team players except Kobe are in good physical condition. Kobe's main reason is because he has to shoot 1,000 balls every day and then participate in training.

I have to take classes, and also have to take care of every game, which makes me tired...

Unlike some teams in the league, injuries have occurred just over a month after the league started. How will this person play in the next game?

"Resting" a few players in each game still hurts the strength of the Han Chinese team. As long as they don't touch the teams competing for the championship, the problem is not too big. The main reason is that now more than half of the teams in the league are collectively

If you are trying to compete for next year's "No. 1 pick", then you still have time to have a real fight with your Han team...

If we really encounter a team competing for the championship, it would be strange if Han Chinese head coach Paul Westphal implements "bombardment" tactics in every game and is not targeted.

Of course, there are still coaches who are not the team's head coach who specialize in cracking the "bombardment" tactic.

Take the Knicks, today's city rival. Everyone knows what the relationship between the Knicks and the Han people is. Jeff Van Gundy will never treat the Han people as if they are weaklings, so he has watched a lot of them recently.

The video tapes of the Han people also conducted an in-depth study on how to restrain the "bombardment" tactics.

Control the rebounds and prevent their counterattacks from running.

Defending the core of the opponent's counterattack, most of them are small defenders.

Control the rhythm of the attack, they will run theirs, and you will attack yours when you are in position.

All team members must always be alert to their positions and not leave too many opportunities and positions for them to counterattack.

Don’t the Han people like to counterattack?

Then why not give them a counterattack?

The longer everyone's offensive time is, the better, insist on positional warfare, and shoot when opportunities arise.

Jeff Van Gundy's offensive coaching is unsatisfactory, but his defensive coaching is relatively successful.

The current Knicks basically don't have much problem with man-to-man marking.

Didn’t Kobe become fond of “health care” recently?

He used Marbury, who was attacking with the ball, to deal with him. In addition, he also arranged for Alan Houston to flank Kobe. After all, Kobe was too much of a threat.

Isn't Mourning on the inside very grumpy, so why not let Ewing and Laettner take turns provoking him and forcing him to foul and leave the game early.

As for Glenn Rice of the Han Chinese team, let Larry Johnson, the No. 1 pick in 1994, teach him how to behave.

As for Nash, that garbage player, just let Alan Houston, who has outstanding offensive ability, take the time to deal with him. Anyway, the strength of a substitute player is only like this.
Chapter completed!
