NBA: This Center Is So Stable - Chapter 52
The new season is coming.
Chapter 52 Is the forward the answer to this draft?
The news about this three-way deal was soon reported back to China.
New Fox Sports.
After the news about this deal spread, New Fox Sports also vigorously promoted related free market transaction reports.
“Boston Celtics trade Antoine Walker for future draft picks from Dallas Mavericks!”
“Philadelphia 76ers trade Keith Van Horn to Atlanta Hawks for “Big Dog” Glenn Robinson + two-year first-round picks!”
“Big news! New York Knicks welcome Steve Nash and Wang Song combination, the golden pair is ready!”
···
Fans launched a heated discussion on this.
——【What a change! Are the Dallas Mavericks planning to rebuild? Ditching Steve Nash for Barbosa and Antoine Walker is a big deal! 】
——【The 76ers are crazy too, trading Keith Van Horn! I don’t see any more promising spots for the Big Dog than Van Horn, except for his qualifications and the fact that he can free up some salary space. 】
——【It should be said that the Knicks are really a little unrecognizable, and they have changed their previous appearance. I dare not imagine how strong the combination of Nash + Wang Song is. 】
——【Be bold, the level of peak OK! 】
——【Don’t, it’s good to be able to reach the level of Stockton + Malone, the Utah duo. With a stable playoffs and a little chance, it’s not a problem to rush into the finals. 】
——【What is Karl Malone? The uncrowned king, don’t try to touch porcelain! 】
——【According to what the above said, there is a certain gap between Steve Nash and Stockton. Take his strongest assists for example. Stockton has been the assists king for 9 consecutive years. 】
——【Well, objectively speaking, it is really good to be at the level of the Utah Double Devils. The strength gap between the two combinations will not be too big, but basketball is a sport between teams. It is not just one or two people. It also depends on the overall chemistry of the Knicks. 】

Cleveland!
The preseason opener kicked off in the Quicken Loans Arena.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, who got the No. 1 pick, deservedly became the first team in the opening game, and their opponent was the hot team in the East.
New Jersey Nets!
Richard Jefferson, the Nets’ star player, is a small forward like James and is also a top wing scorer.
The duel between the two top strikers is the best gift for fans as the preseason opener.
Although the appearance time of both stars in the preseason will not be too long, it is LeBron James’ debut after all.
Countless Clevelanders, including fans from outside, want to see this Akron genius high school student.
What kind of brilliance can he emit after coming to the NBA court!
···
After a fierce battle, the result of the game is out.
The son of Akron showed his invincible talent. Even if he came to the NBA, this top high school student in the United States was not afraid at all.
Facing Richard Jefferson, James played for 18 minutes in the whole game.
He scored 22 points + 8 rebounds + 5 assists and 2 blocks, successfully firing the first shot after entering the NBA.
His success in his debut successfully put pressure on the remaining two rookies.
The second and third picks!
Just when everyone was paying attention, the debut performance of the second pick Darko Milicic was somewhat unsatisfactory.
When facing the Miami Heat’s inside group coached by Van Gundy, he performed weakly.
In his debut with 26 minutes on the court, he scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.
Among them, 10 points with 4 of 12 shots were scored against the Heat rookies and rotation lineup.
If Milicic was just an ordinary first-round pick, people would be much more tolerant of him with this data.
But he happened to be the second pick in 2003!
This miserable data seemed extremely small and unbearable against the background of the son of Akron’s 22 points.
On the contrary, Wade, the Heat’s No. 3 rookie, played with enthusiasm in this game, scoring 18 points and 7 assists with 7 of 14 shots.
This game proved the vision of Miami executives in the draft.
It also made Randy Finley, who missed Wang Song, feel relieved!
If you don’t pick the best, then you can also not pick the best one.
After the game.
A group of Pistons fans launched a criticism of the Detroit executives’ vision in the draft.
Joe Dumars posted a statement on social media in support of Milicic to stabilize the fans’ mentality.
“Dak has done what he should do! He will be the future of the Pistons!”
Seeing Joe Dumars for
Milicic excused himself, and a group of Pistons fans were even more angry.
Some extreme fans even ran to the Knicks official media to make violent remarks!
“Facts have proved that this year’s draft should choose forwards instead of inside players!”
“Micic’s Waterloo makes us understand that height is not everything in basketball.”
“Hello, New York Knicks executives, now Detroit gives you a chance to trade Wang Song.”
A mysterious player from Cleveland IP liked the comment at the beginning.
···
New York!
This is the second month that Herb Sendek and Wang Song have come to this metropolis.
Herb Sendek has indeed fulfilled his dream of joining the coaching staff of an NBA team. After coming to the New York Knicks, he served as a training assistant coach in the Knicks.
His main job every day is to organize player training and report the latest player dynamics to the head coach.
Fortunately, Wang Song has a high enough status in the Knicks team, and Herb Sendek, his mentor, has also benefited from it.
Compared with other offensive and defensive assistant coaches, this training assistant coach has less to worry about.
But the boring training routine also makes Herb Sendek feel a little bored.
You know, he was a powerful head coach in the North Carolina Wolfpack, but now he can only be responsible for the training of these half-grown kids when he comes to the Knicks.
There is a sense of gap!
He still prefers to develop into a tactical assistant coach to give full play to his talents.
So in addition to leading the team in training, he often studies the offensive and defensive strategies of the team and the opponent in his spare time, so that he can know himself and the enemy and win every battle.
At the same time, he often gives Wang Song and others some obscure tactical systems after training.
Sometimes Wang Song admires this old man who is over 50 years old. The tactical reserves in his mind are really rich.
“You two come here and arrange a new offensive tactic for you. Steve, help me see if it works!”
The son of the wind Nash has been in the Knicks for a month.
Herb Sendek still agrees with Steve Nash.
Under the training of old Nelson, Nash is a rare player who has his own tactical system.
Many tactics are sorted out by him on the court, and the team can always execute them smoothly.
It’s just that he still gets distracted during training occasionally.
It must be because he recalled the days in Dallas, the man with long hair like himself.
Nash scratched his head and never thought that the reason why the Dallas Mavericks put him on the shelf was actually for that shitty Leandro Barbosa.
Could that guy run faster than himself in running and gunning?
With this spirit, Nash has also been working hard to integrate into the new team, improve his defensive shortcomings, and train hard during this period.
With such a backcourt teammate who is like a precision guide on the court, the Knicks have long forgotten who the madman is!
In such a day of mutual diligence, the Knicks also ushered in their first game.
