Chapter 810 A Visit to the Big Apple City
These young people on the Lakers have had enough of Byron Scott, and they naturally welcome Walton to coach.As a young coach, when Walton was an assistant coach in the Warriors, in their 73-win season, he led the team with 24 consecutive victories at the beginning.
Although the Warriors were at the top level at the time, if Wharton could not reflect his coaching level, he should be able to learn the Warriors' trendy skills and tactics when he studied under Kerr.
Walton was also mixed with Kobe back then, and he also won the championship with the Lakers.It's just that in the player era, he was not a star player.But it doesn't matter, no one said that a good coach in the NBA must be a star player in the player era.
The Lakers brought Walton here, hoping that he could bring these young people together.They don't want to be bad now, but want to train newcomers, and then attract big fish next year.
The Los Angeles Lakers rarely have the patience to wait for newcomers to grow up a little bit.It is their style to go to the free market to attract superstars to join and rise rapidly.
Sometimes I think about it, there is no absolute fairness in competitive sports.It is true that the NBA has a salary cap, but the Los Angeles Lakers can attract big fish to join in the free market. Try letting the Kings, Timberwolves, and Cavaliers before James return to attract big fish in the free market?
Therefore, those who won championships in the Lakers and Celtics sometimes really can't simply compare the number of championships with others. This starting point is unfair!
Just like in La Liga, players from Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same number of La Liga champions as players from other clubs. Is this comparable?
There are also some rich second-generation and official second-generation people who compare with people from civilian backgrounds, and they criticize others for not working hard when they are not comparable.The starting point is different, what is the comparison.
In this game, the appearance of many K honeys turned the game into Xie Kai's home field.
Xie Kai's mental quality is excellent, and his away performance is not worse than at home. He doesn't care about these things, but the performance of these young Lakers players is affected, and their offense is a mess.
Coach Wharton hopes to play Cole's small ball game, and he will go to the fifth junior at every turn. In his system, Mozgov is a burden, and his role is almost negligible.
In this game, the Thunder beat their opponents in the away game, and Xie Kai clocked out of get off work in 3 quarters.
The Thunder beat the Lakers away, ushered in a season-high 4-game winning streak, and improved their record to 11 wins and 4 losses.
On November 11, the Thunder played back-to-back away games against the Kings.
The Kings are Xie Kai's first team to enter the NBA. Last season they ranked 33th in the Western Conference with a record of 49 wins and 10 losses. This season they hope to go one step further, reach the top eight and enter the playoffs.
In this game, both teams played very well. On the offensive end, you come and go, playing against each other.At the critical moment of the last quarter, Xie Kai and Westbrook joined forces to help the team win the game and ushered in a 5-game winning streak.
After 5 consecutive victories, the Thunder's record came to 12 wins and 4 losses, continuing to rank third in the Western Conference.
On December 11, the Thunder narrowly lost to the Nuggets in an away game and missed their 26-game winning streak.
A day later, the Thunder played the previously defeated Pistons back-to-back at home. They did not give their opponents a chance, easily defeated their opponents, and refused to lose streak.
After this game, their record came to 13 wins and 5 losses, continuing to rank third in the Western Conference.
On November 11, the Thunder visited New York against the Knicks.
New York is the largest metropolis in the United States, so even if the Knicks team is bad and known as "mud", it is still the team that many big-name players yearn for. This is the attraction of a big ball market.
Since Zen Master took charge of the Knicks management, he has vigorously advocated the triangle offense, and also let his disciple, the old fish Fisher, take charge of the coach.
But the Knicks can't play the triangle offense at all. The old fish was fired last season and Kurt Rambis took over.
But Kurt Rambis didn't stay in the coaching position for long, and he also stepped down during the offseason. Now the team's coach is Jeff Hornacek.
The feasting and feasting in New York is really unforgettable.Xie Kai and Westbrook went out for a walk, ate something, and came back.They didn't go to the nightclub to party, they were going there, after winning the championship.Now both of them are thinking about competition and victory, not presumptuousness.
On the evening of the 29th, at the Madison Square Garden Arena in the Big Apple, the Thunder VS Knicks game is about to begin.
No matter how rubbish the Knicks are, their home attendance has been pretty good.This is also due to the fact that the team is in New York, where a large number of celebrities patronize, and those financial people on Wall Street, many of whom also like basketball, will come here to watch the game.
Great director Spike Lee is a regular here, and he's here again today...
When the reporter interviewed him on the spot, he said with a smile: "I really want to watch Kane Xie's game. Since he was injured, today is the first time I have watched his game live."
"Are you his fan?" the reporter asked.
Spike Lee laughed and said, "I'm K honey too, do you believe it?"
The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and Wang Zixing and Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
"Mr. Su, I'm very glad to have you as my partner in the commentary. What do you think are the highlights of this game between the Thunder and the Knicks?" Wang Zixing asked.
Su Qun said: "There are a lot of stars in this game. Don't look at the Knicks here. Don't look at his record. There are many stars. Rose, Anthony, and Noah were all first-class stars in the past. This game It depends on which side's stars play well, which side has the advantage."
The players on both sides are very relaxed when they practice. Everyone is a veteran. Even if the record is not good for a short time, the pressure will not be so great that it will be written on the face.
Soon, the starting lineups of both sides will be announced.
The starting lineup of the Knicks at home is: center - Joakim Noah, power forward - Kritas Puss Porzingis, small forward - Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard - Kay Teney Lee, point guard -- Derrick Rose.
The Knicks lineup, if everyone is at the peak, is definitely the favorite to win the championship. Unfortunately, neither Melon nor Rose is at the peak. The former is because of age, and the latter is because of injuries.
The starting lineup of the Thunder in the away game is still the same as before, the Big Three + duck eggs + Turks.
The two teams are not in the same division, and the goals of the season are different, so the players seem to be very friendly.
Noah and Duck are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
Even in New York, there are still many fans of Xie Kai, and many fans wearing the No. 22 jersey came to the scene.Obviously, they are not K honey, and they should be directed at him.
Xie Kai is a global superstar, so it is not surprising that there are many fans of him in the largest city in the United States.
