Xiaotuo's game experience today was terrible. He likes to play on shooting teams, so that his speed and physical aggression can be fully displayed.

But when the Knicks beat him, they just hit him high and high. He had no chance against Curry, Mills and others. The Knicks' backcourt is too smart. The little potato defends whoever picks and rolls, and it's all the forwards who play.

This 175 dunk king.

Then George stood up and shot the little potato, Hayward pulled out the little potato, and Kyle Anderson came on for 30 seconds at the end of the second quarter to beat the little potato and squirmed and licked the basket...

Indeed, with the addition of three new forward players to the Knicks this year, the average height of the Knicks on the court has basically remained above 2 meters.

It's not like the long-armed monster basketball that Kidd later deliberately pursued, but an offensive team based on defense!

In the sport of basketball, height is the fundamental factor.

The defensive hardware is better than other teams!

"This Knicks is really different. Even if the inside line is strengthened, the forwards are also stronger!"

President Pu frowned as he watched from the sidelines, it’s not easy!

Last season, all teams knew that the Knicks did not have a human shield inside to protect the frame, and the forward movement was slow and could not keep up with the mobile breakthrough outside line. These are the two biggest shortcomings of the Knicks.

And the Knicks seem to have made up for it in the off season???

President Pu thought George was a shooter. Seeing him guard Durant for 2 goals, do you think his defense is okay??

There is also Hayward, who looks very thin now, but his defensive aggressiveness is no worse than that of his senior brother Gallinelli, but his body is still a lot worse, and Gallinelli used his body to force several goals.

As we all know, force-feeding is not a defensive mistake. The Thunder have almost no tactical goals. All goals are scored by single-handedly. There are not many completely missed scenes in single-handedly. The Knicks' defensive flexibility on the outside seems to be due to

What these two first-round forwards bring this year???

General Manager Pu’s think tank also sighed:

"This is not a home court bonus. George's defensive habits are really good. His hands are always near the ball. Westbrook dribbles less in front of him."

"And the Knicks' worst interior line last year has been completely strengthened, because they know that there is a giant spirit guarding the interior line, and the defensive aggression on the outside line is very strong!"

"Yes, last season against the Heat, they were actually timid on the outside. They were afraid of shots and sudden attacks. As a result, their defense was completely disrupted by Wade and Beasley."

At halftime, the Knicks led by 6 points, 64:58.

It’s not to say that both sides are letting it go. This high score is also because everyone wants to show off their strengths in the new season.

A certain degree of letting go means that some opponents do not try to chase shots or commit fouls during unmanned fast breaks, and dangerously fall to the ground to save the ball, desperately rush for rebounds, and there are many fewer early fast break fouls and layup fouls. In this way,

The score is naturally high.

For the Thunder, Durant scored 27 points by himself, including 20 points in the first quarter. The only things that could stop him were fouls and God. The scoring champion really doesn't have any particularly good defensive methods.

And this is a preseason game. The young coach will not use double-teaming to disgust Adu and the fans...

For the Knicks, the new players have been scoring. Howard scored 18 points at halftime, 5 of which were dunks!

But the shooting rate was not very good, 7 out of 13. As a center, the shooting rate was a bit low, let alone free throws. Perhaps for comic effect, Warcraft even made three free throws.

This made Stephen Kerr, a part-time shooting assistant off the court, feel more like Alexander, but there was also a shooting master in the audience, and that was Curry's father, who was also a good shooter.

"Yao is so strong!" Compared to Spark, Lily prefers Yao's attacks. Maybe women like mature and stable ones.

"Of course...this is Yao!"

Here Jiang Chao was practicing Pilates and stretching with Lily while looking at the data table displayed on the TV.

Judging from the first half, the Sparks' low-post offense had a lower success rate than Yao. If he hadn't been the Knicks' highest-paid player, Jiang Chao would have wanted to cancel his low-post attack tactics.

The Knicks gave their big brother face today. As the team's biggest star in terms of salary, he took 13 shots in the half. No Knicks player had such treatment last season.

But it is estimated that only the preseason games have this kind of treatment.

From Jiang Chao's God's perspective in the next ten years, as long as Happy Beast is not allowed to play in low singles, he can teach 99% of the league how to behave inside!

I guess Stevens has also seen clearly that Yao Ming has basic skills, and Howard, a brute force jumping monster, is more suitable for wreaking havoc on the basket in the paint area!

On the contrary, the other Twin Tower Yao, as long as he is allowed to play in low singles, he can teach 99% of the league's insiders!

In the first half, Yao Ming actually played 4 times in isolation, playing a total of 7 minutes before leaving the game. He made 3 of 4 hits, and caused 1 foul.

, there is also a one-handed chop after a small test of breakthrough and confrontation. The various technical movements are stable and mature.

It seems to be shouting to the whole NBA: I am back, the Great Wall of China!

The two really complement each other. If it weren't for Yao's second protection in the paint, some of Howard's rough shots wouldn't be protected by secondary rebounds.

Howard makes up for Yao Ming's shortcomings of slow movement on the defensive end and supports the interior's defensive range when the opponent plays a small lineup.

However, we still couldn't play more. After a few rounds of the opening five-death game, it was all Thunder's 5-on-3 fast break. The Knicks offense couldn't score the ball. The Thunder pushed the fast break for 1.5 seconds and it was past halftime.

Therefore, the Five Great Deaths, which were just a joke, appeared briefly for 4 minutes.

Fortunately, Dayao needs to use it sparingly now.

Just when he was about to feel tired, the coaching staff ordered him to take off work. This was also the most annoying thing for other teams to see. They were upset and felt that Yao was a glass person, cursing him that he would be seriously injured again this season.

, but Knicks uses it so sparingly, and the chance of glass becomes much smaller.

It's hard to imagine what will happen if he is fully healthy next season. Even English commentators are saying that the Knicks' upper limit depends on how much gas Yao Ming has left.

While Yao fans are still unsatisfied, other Knicks players on the court will always bring surprises!

This is not the Rockets whose substitutes are mediocre and deceitful. The Knicks' substitutes play harder than the starters. Facts have proved that as long as the game is good on the court, fans of the stars will turn into fans of the team.

Because the second highest scorer was not Harden or Turk Drew, but Curry who scored 14 points in the half. He hit 3 consecutive three-pointers in the second quarter and made the scene crazy!!

The Knicks' rotation today is a three-forward lineup with Curry, Harden, George Ibaka, and Yi Jianlian, and their performance is no slower than that of the Thunder.

"What do these words mean?" Lily pointed to the pictorial held by several students in school uniforms who appeared on the camera.

"Come on, elementary school students."

"Ah?? Elementary school student?"

"I believe this baby-faced boy even when he talks about kindergarten." Jiang Chao said with a smile.

After the elementary school students came on the court, the elementary school students went crazy. It was so funny. I heard that everyone in the elementary school was shooting three-pointers, even though the Harden generation sold better than the Curry generation in China.

But among the students, the number of Curry fans outnumbers Deng fans!

As Jiang Chao made the action of pressing his legs, Liu Yan, who was in charge of Jiang Chao's social media, took a picture and posted it on major social platforms after Jiang Chao nodded.

"What?? The boss is warming up???"

In the picture, Jiang Chao is looking at the TV screen seriously, showing off his muscles in a short-sleeved suit, with a slight sweat on his handsome face.

The fans were even happier when they saw this Weibo post during halftime:

"The missing person returns!"

"Coach Jiang, come on!"

"Boss, if you really play, no one in the audience will dare to guard you!"

"As a human being, Howard has to feed Jiang Chao cakes!"

"The guys from the Basketball Association off the court have to come up and set a pick-and-roll for Mr. Jiang!"

"Are you a good player? Haha, I've been looking forward to everything you said..."

"Coach Ren Jiang is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, haha."

"Don't tell me, with Boss Jiang's figure, I would believe him even if he was a player."

"The boss still cares about the team!"

"Is this Swift's villa?"

"Is it his own, next door to Swift?"

"Then the question is, who took the photo?"

"Scarlett is at the scene, exclude Scarlett first."

“I saw the pillows on the sofa were messy!!”

"Don't guess, Miss Liu Yan, the female president of League of Legends! She has always been Jiang Chao's personal assistant."

"It's okay. The boss took a kidney but also cared about the team. He loves it so much!"

"I'm a female fan. I want to sleep on that sofa and watch the game with Boss Jiang!"

"To be honest, my male fans also want to..."

…

As soon as the boss's warm-up teasing was over, the second half of the game officially began.

It seems to be an unspoken rule of the pre-season. After the first two quarters, the main players of both sides showed off, and in the third quarter it was the old, middle and young players' turn to play together.

Gallinelli is also the main force on the Thunder side. It seems that General Manager Pu really likes the Italian gun and even gives him the opportunity to hold the ball in the top arc. Is this the feeling of being cultivated into a sixth man??

"Is this the Knicks on the bench..." Dolan cried at home. The Thunder's lineup was Nate, Chandler, Gallinelli, Harrington, and Jeff Green. It was a small forward lineup, but

He played lively on the court.

All four of them are players from the Knicks. They can also be said to be the starters created by Dolan. Now they are thriving as the substitutes for the Thunder.
