Chapter 399 Preseason Game 1: Knicks vs. Heat!
Seven days.
Three players started, and one was a substitute.
With diverse tactics, intense competition, and extremely high-intensity pressing defense, Su Yan never complained of being tired.
The new season is just around the corner.
He cannot rely entirely on the system; he must also continuously improve himself through high-intensity training and competition.
These seven days felt very long.
The training was tough.
But... Su Yan, who loves playing ball, doesn't find it tiring at all, and immerses himself in the fun that playing ball brings him.
……
10 month 4 day.
While the people of China celebrated National Day.
The 2010-2011 preseason has arrived amidst the eager anticipation of countless fans!
There was a heavyweight match on the first day of the competition.
Knicks vs. Heat.
The Knicks are the defending champions, while the Heat formed their "Big Three" this summer, making them the villains straight out of a comic book.
A party of strength.
From the very beginning, they were labeled as "champions".
That big battle was highly anticipated by many fans and even topped the trending searches, generating explosive buzz.
"COMEON! The Knicks and Heat are scheduled to play each other on the first day of the preseason."
Really.
The NBA really knows how to generate viewership! Even if I don't work, even if I skip class, I'll still watch this!!!
"Absolutely explosive!"
"The New York twin stars, who have been developing for a year, versus the peak Heat Big Three, this is bound to be a battle like Mars colliding with Earth!"
look forward to.
I can't wait!
"Tsk tsk tsk... These two championship teams playing the first game of the playoffs has already made the whole season highly anticipated!"
"I can't wait!"
"..."
The fans were incredibly excited.
One by one, they moved their little stools, bought melon seeds and drinks, and sat in front of the TV early to compete.
Fans with a strong sense of purpose also arrived at the stadium early.
Experience this preseason game, which feels like a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals, live.
The quiet and boring offseason, in particular, makes everyone even more eager to watch NBA games.
Although preseason games do not count towards rankings.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating it.
After all... if the Summer League can connect with the NBA, it must be exciting. Even if it's "March Madness," if it doesn't reach the tournament, or even if it's just the quarterfinals, it's not as exciting as the NBA.
8 p.m.
Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks vs. Heat Skills Challenge, half an hour before the game.
The arena was packed to capacity, with Knicks fans waving "championship banners" high.
Cheer for the Knicks!
The championship, the first in 37 years, made New York fans extremely happy and made them love all the Knicks players, led by Su Yan and Curry, even more.
Heat practice halftime.
LeBron looked excited, "Playing the defending champions right from the start is really exciting!"
but.
fair enough.
Defeating the defending champions from the very beginning gave the entire league a small shock, letting them know... the Heat's Big Three had already secured the championship for the new season.
"Absolutely."
Bosh raised his arms and roared, like a dragon king in a rage, with overwhelming momentum: "You've had a lot of criticism during the offseason."
"If they don't win a championship, how can that be acceptable!"
"Heat wins the championship!"
Wede's tone was very calm, yet full of confidence, as if he were talking about a simple, inevitable thing.
Knicks practice halftime.
"wooow~"
Curry raised an eyebrow. "Playing the 'league's biggest villain' in the first preseason game of the new season?"
Isn't this arrangement a bit unreasonable?!
Regardless of the outcome, once they face off, the suspense disappears, and the anticipation for the regular season decreases!
"correct."
George nodded vigorously, "The matchup against the Heat should be at least halfway through the season, preferably on Christmas Day."
That's what whets the appetite of football fans.
Otherwise, expectations will be lowered!
"of course not."
McGrady shook his head. "A match between top players is always a great watch. Besides... this is a preseason game, so the intensity won't be too high."
While fans may not get to witness a true clash of titans, they'll certainly get to see some thrilling offensive exchanges, which will only make them look forward to their next encounter in the new season even more!
"Yes."
Iverson nodded in agreement, "The preseason is more like a warm-up game, allowing players who haven't played during the offseason to get back into the NBA, providing a transition period and allowing them to readjust to the intensity of competition at the NBA level."
Simultaneously.
By playing against real NBA players in the preseason, teams can practice the results of their offseason in real games.
Individual ability, team tactics.
This will allow everyone to integrate more quickly and effectively, and start the new season in top form!
"clear."
Curry also understands some of it, but with the explanations from his seniors, he understands it even more thoroughly.
"That's right."
Coach D'Antoni chimed in, adding, "But because the opponent might be the strongest competitor in the East."
Even if it's the preseason.
During your playing time, you must remain focused and exert as much pressure on them as possible, letting the Heat and the entire league know.
The defending champions are strong in themselves.
After a season of growth, we're even stronger now. Our goal for the new season is clear: to win the championship again!!!
"Oh~"
"That must!"
"The Heat's Big Three are certainly strong, but as the defending champions, we have absolutely no reason to be afraid!!!"
"Charge! Take down the Heat's Big Three!"
"..."
The Knicks are all in high spirits.
The same applies to the Heat.
The fans are the same.
"boom!"
Amidst the fiery atmosphere of the stadium, the warm-up ended, the main match began, and the starting lineups from both sides took to the field.
New season, new look.
New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Stephen Curry, Shooting Guard: Tony Allen, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.
Wilson Chandler became a substitute, paired with rookie Paul George, and experienced veterans Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady.
The Knicks' bench is said to be very strong this season, a bit tougher than last season, and capable of going up against any team.
It should also be noted that Su Yan was suspended for 7 games for the brawl in Game 6 of the finals, starting from the regular season.
The preseason games, which do not count towards the rankings, can proceed as normal.
Miami Heat Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Carlos Arroyo, Shooting Guard: Dwyane Wade, Small Forward: LeBron James, Power Forward: Chris Bosh, Center: Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
"Jumpball!"
A contest for the ball between Tyson and Ilgauskas.
"Snapped!"
Despite his slender appearance, Ilgauskas is a towering 221 centimeters tall and possesses a lithe physique, giving him a natural advantage in contesting for the ball.
He swatted the basketball away before Tyson could react.
"Humph!"
Tyson snorted to himself, "You're just a stick figure, I'll smash you to pieces later!!!"
Arroyo receives the ball, pushes it to the left arc, and passes it one-on-one to Wade, not to LeBron or Bosh.
Let Wade take the first shot.
Everything seemed normal.
But this small detail shows that even if LeBron is strong enough to join the team, the team's leader is still "Flash" Wade!
