Chapter 463 The Reason I Like Playing in New York
·
Zhuan Zhu
On January 1th, New York's Madison Garden Stadium was crowded with people and the atmosphere was hot.
This season, the New York Knicks are still ranked last in the East, but the enthusiasm of the fans remains undiminished.
This is why Knicks owner James Dolan is so indifferent to the team's lineup and record. Anyway, the team plays well and the market is hot, so why put so much energy into it?
Although the Knicks are bad, the team's salary remains high. Their overall funds this season are as high as 9665 million US dollars. You must know that the league's salary cap during this period is only 5800 million US dollars.
The overall salary of the Knicks is higher than that of any championship team, which is inversely proportional to their real record. It is no wonder that New York fans often complain about their stupid money.
Here are the most junk contracts in the league. Larry Hughes, Eddie Curry, 'Old Cat' Mobley, and Quentin Richardson are all players with a salary of around 1000 w. Let's look at their Field contribution.
Larry Hughes played 25 games this season, averaging only 11.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was only 39%. So far, he has averaged 10.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Eddie Curry is doing badly. If you don't play for money, you can be called a bad emperor.
This team can be called a player's paradise. They can get high salaries without doing anything. Fans can't help but ridicule the Knicks as a role model for beating workers. It wasn't until the Knicks discovered that beating workers can also suck the blood of capitalists.
The team's best player turned out to be David Lee with a salary of only 179w.
David Lee averaged a standard double-double of 17 points and 11.9 assists this season, and his shooting percentage reached 54.9%, which is a clear stream for the Knicks.
New York Knicks starters: Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Quentin Richardson, Al Harrington, David Lee
Phoenix Suns starters: Nash, Chen Yan, Raja Bell, Stoudemire, Jordan
Tonight, Jordan was promoted to the starting lineup. Against a weak team like the Knicks, D'Antoni deliberately asked Jordan to come up to practice.
At the beginning of the game, Jordan's jump ball successfully won the first attack for the Suns.
Chen Yan tried a three-pointer as soon as he came up.
"Bang!"
The first shot was missed, and Chen Yan hadn't fully found the feeling just after playing, but Jordan was very active, struggling to shoot out the offensive rebound.
The ball landed obliquely to Chen Yan's side, and Chen Yan took a step sideways to pick up the ball and scored another three-pointer.
"Shh!"
The Nets are blooming.
3:0.
After the goal was scored, Chen Yan pointed to Jordan. He had told Jordan more than once that he had to work hard enough to gain a foothold in a championship team like the Suns. Obviously, Jordan had listened to Chen Yan's words.
The reason why Jordan played so hard was not only listening to Chen Yan's advice, but also the overall atmosphere of the Suns. The Suns were very serious about training and games from the starting lineup to the bench. This also has a subtle influence. Here comes the new guy joining the team.
Just imagine, if Jordan was picked up by the New York Knicks in this year's draft, it is estimated that he will be in trouble with his teammates now.
The Knicks attacked, and Chris Duhon threw it to Wilson Chandler after halftime.
Wilson Chandler rushed in after receiving the ball, but Chen Yan didn't do his best to defend him, so he let him go. Wilson Chandler has excellent athletic ability, and when he saw the gap came out, he rushed in with all his strength!
Chen Yan was passed, Jordan stepped up to protect the frame, and Wilson Chandler kicked off the ground with one foot. He was confident in his explosive power and was ready to overpower Jordan.
Little Jordan said that it's fun to play, and it's troublesome. Don't play bounce with me, little Jordan, take off vertically. Little Jordan directly slapped Wilson Chandler with his big hand to doubt his life.
Fortunately, David Lee had a positive attitude and picked up a rebound near the free throw line.
After getting the ball, David Lee didn't make a move immediately. He observed the surrounding situation and took a tentative step before pulling it up on the spot.
"Shh!"
David Lee's middle distance is very stable, and the basketball hits the net.
3:2.
Fans cheered from Madison Garden. Usually, New York fans were very supportive of the team at the beginning of the game, but it was hard to say when they were beaten over time.
Nash advances across the half court, uses Jordan to cover a low hand to change direction and pass Al Harrington, and then makes a layup.
5:2.
Al Harrington is an out-and-out big brush. He doesn't care about the team's record, he only cares about his own data.
Al Harrington has another identity besides the identity of a player, that is, a businessman. He is different from ordinary blacks and has a business mind. Al Harrington created a marijuana company. He got this business opportunity from his grandma. Get inspired.
Because he used marijuana to cure his grandma's long-term illness, even the name of this company was registered with his grandma viola. As medical marijuana became more and more popular, his company was of course rising.
Chen Yan knew that the market value of Al Harrington's company would reach US$10 billion in the future, and if it wasn't because he was in the marijuana business, Chen Yan would have wanted to get a share.
In the Knicks' offensive round, Chris Duhon and David Lee launched a pick-and-roll. Duhon suddenly hit back to David Lee, and the latter made a mid-range shot.
5:4.
David Lee scored 4 points in a row at the start and was in good shape.
Looking back, Nash launched another attack with the ball. The sudden point attracted the defense and handed it to Chen Yan. Gar Bell, the latter had an open three-pointer, but unfortunately he was a little bit unlucky and shot out of the frame.
The ball just bounced into Duhon's hands, Duhon pushed forward, the Knicks counterattacked, Wilson Chandler received a pass from Duhon diagonally and cut into the basket for a layup.
5:6.
The fans at the scene cheered again, and the team played back and forth with their opponents in the first few rounds.
Suns offensive round.
Stoudemire kicked off the singles against David Lee.
David Lee is a typical player who is strong on offense and weak on defense. As a white insider, his physical fitness is a bit worse than that of black players, let alone a black insider with top athletic talent like Stoudemire.
Stoudemire took a step to the right after a series of tentative steps, then took two strong steps and then made a basket!
It is to eat you with speed and explosive power.
David Lee shook his head. There was nothing he could do about this kind of athletic insider.
Stoudemire actually likes to use this kind of Arab League. It is very difficult for opponents to use this trick in CBA Arab League. He has advantages in physical and athletic ability, but in NBA this advantage does not exist, so it can often be seen After taking two steps to the United Arab Emirates, the distance from the penalty area is getting farther and farther away, and the effect of Stoudemire's use is very different.
The Knicks attacked, Wilson Chandler was going to continue to force Chen Yan, and he tasted the sweetness of Chen Yan at the beginning.
Chen Yan also noticed Wilson Chandler's thoughts. He didn't release water this round. He usually used water to focus more energy on the offensive end, rather than being pinched by the opponent as a soft persimmon.
Wilson Chandler made a push to change direction and then went to the left, and Chen Yan blocked him with a lateral move.
Wilson Chandler continued to accelerate, ready to force him, Chen Yan suddenly increased his strength, and used his body to oppress him, Wilson Chandler became anxious, and prepared to accelerate for the second stage and continue to rub in.
At the moment of acceleration, there was a problem with his ball protection, and Chen Yan quickly reached out to break the ball!
Chen Yan slapped his right hand, and he accelerated to a straight line. Wilson Chandler gave up defense after losing the ball, and other Knicks players also watched Chen Yan go forward.
Before Chen Yan entered the penalty area, he looked back and saw that no one was chasing after him, so he showed off and kicked back with a lever!
Boos came from the scene, which was dedicated to the Knicks players.
The fans are dissatisfied with the attitude of the Knicks players. Yes, Chen Yan is very fast, but whether he can catch up is one thing, and whether he can catch up is another.
There was no wave on the faces of the Knicks players on the court. They could hear this kind of booing every night, and they were basically immune.
Shameless people are invincible, talking about the Knicks players.
In the next few minutes, the Knicks' shooting rate began to return to normal levels. They missed consecutive shots, and they were not active in retreating after missing shots. The Suns hit multiple counterattacks in a row.
The fans booed louder and louder. The fans said that the Knicks were here to play and watch the game?
At 6 minutes and 57 seconds into the first quarter, Nash missed an arrow on horseback and the Knicks counterattacked.
Al Harrington grabbed the rebound and gave it to Nate Robinson Duhon, who was about to pass it to Wilson Chandler. However, his intention to pass the ball was already seen through by Chen Yan. Start off the ball and then retreat to the three-point line.
In order to save face, Nate quickly threw himself in front of Chen Yan, jumping up to block his three-pointer.
Although Nate is small and his real height is only about 170cm, his jumping ability is extremely strong, and his favorite thing to do is to block players who are taller than him.
Seeing Nate jumping, Chen Yan didn't rush to make a move, and leaned on him after a pause.
Foul!
The moment the two bodies were in contact with each other, Chen Yan threw the ball out in an unconventional posture.
The basketball draws an arc and falls into the bag accurately.
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
"mvp!"
Knicks fans turned their backs!
When Chen Yan got to the free throw line, there were shouts of 'mvp'.
Chen Yan smiled slightly, which is why he prefers New York to Los Angeles.
Fans in Los Angeles saw Chen Yan open his mouth as "Fake Chen" and closed his mouth as "Fake Chen", while fans in New York would call him mvp.
