NBA: Start with James Harden

New York is a city full of temptation.

The New York press is picky.

New York fans are also combative.

This puts too much pressure on NBA players playing in New York.

But no matter how bad the Knicks play, there is still a large part of the Knicks fans, and it has to be said that the requirements of these Knicks fans are very low.

As long as the Knicks play well, they can conquer them extremely quickly.

100 to 85.

It wasn’t easy to score in three digits in training matches.

Group A won easily, and Li Zhen easily recorded a triple-double of 43 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

After this training game, in the spread of fans, Li Zhen’s Knicks jersey sales rose rapidly, and Knicks preseason tickets were sold out rarely.

“Hope for the Knicks!”

“Li Zhen easily abused his teammates in the training match.”

“The singles ability is still coquettish, and the familiar retreat step shocks the audience!”

“All kinds of empty catches, dunks, a practice game is better than all the Knicks’ games last season.”

“I was fortunate to see the power of FMVP.”

Not all media and fans attended the Open Day.

A lot of fans without sources are inquiring about this match!

But the news is true and false, making more and more people look forward to Li Zhen’s debut.

…………

After an intra-team training match.

Li Zhen used extremely strong personal ability to gain leadership status.

A group of veterans, including Gallinari at the beginning, were also convinced by Li Zhen.

This is last season’s Finals MVP, and this is the man who scored 65 points in a single game in the Western Finals.

The young Li Zhen is the leader on the field, and in the dressing room, Li Zhen also cleverly conceded the position of the dressing room leader to the big man Chandler.

Dressing room leaders have nothing to do with strength, mainly prestige.

Chandler is the architect of the defensive system, he is passionate and driven, and he has the right experience and age.

Seeing that the locker room and the team are becoming more and more stable, D’Antoni is becoming more and more satisfied with Li Zhen, and the Knicks finally have a superstar.

After discussion with the coaching staff, D’Antoni is ready to reshape the Knicks according to Li Zhen’s thinking.

After the start of the new season, the Knicks will emphasize the concepts of “fast” and “three-pointer” and “under the basket”.

On the defensive end, the steel defense formed by Li Zhen, Tony Allen, Danny Green, Jr. and Tyson Chandler is worth looking forward to.

………..

Domestic.

Multiple portals have opened Knicks’ columns to update Knicks’ every move at any time.

For the first time in history, state media TV won the broadcast rights of 38 Knicks.

Every Knicks game is broadcast on the Internet platform, and they also send New York team reporters to interview players after each game.

Dayao’s injury, the downturn of the UAE League, and the unemployment of Da Sheng have prompted domestic fans to concentrate on Li Zhen’s Knicks.

Li Zhen is already the first person in the domestic sports world.

This kind of first person is not the first medal, but the first in attention and fame.

…………

A Chinese restaurant.

Li Zhen, Chandler, Smalls, Livingston, Tony Allen, Danny Green, Mozgov and other new signings agreed to eat together.

New signings are a bit different from veterans.

Many of the veterans have a negative mentality, they experienced last season’s failures, and even though there are many strong reinforcements coming, they are still not optimistic about the future of the team.

But the new signings are different, they all want to make a career with the Knicks.

The division of teams will naturally be a little different.

After coming to the Knicks, Li Zhen’s personality is still loved by his teammates.

Li Zhen’s personality is not too aggressive, and his speech is also smooth and likable.

Now that Li Zhen is the core of the team, the management and coaching staff also attach great importance to him, and currying favor with Li Zhen is important for some marginalized people who want to stay in New York.

Almost all the topics at the dinner table revolve around Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is also used to such a scene, in the Mavericks, the veterans will always make fun of him.

It’s just that now these teammates don’t dare to joke and tease him.

Although Li Zhen is a big guy, his age is too young and he doesn’t need to treat him.

People pay for playing games.

The pay-for-play game is where everyone pulls out their credit cards and scrambles them.

The waiter who pays the last one comes to draw.

Whoever draws will pay.

Livingston was unlucky, and he had a treat tonight.

Livingston was a bit of a pain in paying, but he was happy to pay for his teammates.

For Livingston, he hadn’t felt the team vibe in a long time.

Livingston has just come to New York and has not yet bought a car, and he lives in the same direction as Li Zhen, and Li Zhen is responsible for sending him back.

In the car.

Livingston was desperate.

Li Zhen held the steering wheel and asked, “What’s wrong, what do you want to say to me?” ”

Livingston said: “Lee, the coach wanted me to increase my leg strength, but I had a serious injury before and I have some concerns and would like to ask your opinion. ”

“Your confrontation is a lot lower than before you were injured, it’s time to practice.” Li Zhen is the same as D’Antonis.

During the Warriors period, Livingston gained a lot of weight, but he was not injured, and Li Zhen felt that his psychological shadow was too big as Livingston feared.

“I’m afraid of getting hurt again!” Livingston said.

“You change the lower force part and the technical play.” Li Zhen said.

Today’s Livingston is different from the Livingston of the Warriors.

Now Livingston eats the body very much, and all kinds of flying escapes!

“How to change?” Livingston asked.

“Reduce breakouts, reduce change of direction, increase back hits, continue to develop your mid-range.” Li Zhen said.

Livingston’s injury is so severe that getting back on his feet in the NBA is tough in itself.

“I’m a defender,” Livingston said with a wry smile.

“Hey, the guard can also play on his back, look at Kobe, of course, you can also cut inside and follow the mid-range, your height and arm span are very advantageous in the guard position, and it is difficult for defenders to block you.” Li Zhen said.

Li Zhen remembers that when he was with the Warriors, Livingston was very consistent in the mid-range.

His shooting doesn’t make three-pointers, but it’s perfect for two-pointers.

“Isn’t the coach not allowed to shoot mid-range?” Livingston replied after pondering.

‘He’s after scoring and as long as you can get the ball in, even if you put your head on it, he’ll be happy.’ Li Zhen smiled.

The three-point shot and the way he scores at the basket is nothing more than efficiency, and D’Antoni is not a stubborn person.

It’s impossible to make people who are not good at three-pointers shoot three-pointers.

“OK, I’ll try!” Livingston nodded firmly.

The NBA confrontation is very strong, and if you don’t pay attention, it’s easy to get hurt twice!

Now Livingston is not very confident.

Livingston is a strong addition to the Knicks’ second team, and his experience and ability are important to the Knicks’ second roster.

After chatting with Li Zhen, Livingston’s heart gradually calmed down.

He stopped worrying about D’Antonis’ three-point and basket and tried to focus on polishing his mid-range.

As long as he can score, maybe D’Antoni will not like him, but will still reuse him!
