Chapter 224 The Lone Wolf Marbury

For the Knicks, Wang Shipeng's most fancy is not Douglas, but the lone wolf Marbury.

Regarding the nickname of Marbury's Lone Wolf, Chinese fans actually have a lot of misunderstandings.Most Chinese people think that the reason why Marbury is called a lone wolf is because he plays more alone.

Wang Shipeng once thought so too, because Marbury, especially Marbury in the New York era, really gave people a feeling of playing alone.Even if he has been the team's assist leader for many years.

It wasn't until he came to the United States to play after crossing that he learned the true meaning of "Lone Wolf" from Pippen.

It turned out that Marbury, who had just entered the league, once formed the Minnesota doubles with Garnett. Many fans of the 90s felt that with Garnett and Marbury, two talented young people, over time, the Timberwolves must be a top-level, championship-level team.

However, as one wished, as Garnett got an incredible contract for that era, everything changed.

The Timberwolves themselves are a small market team, and neither the market capacity nor the salary space can accommodate two top All-Star players.Coupled with Garnett's large contract, Marbury had to leave.

Therefore, the lone wolf who left the wolf pack is the true meaning of Marbury's nickname.

Wang Shipeng's perception of Marbury is special. In his previous life, until 2020, the foreign player with the highest achievement in the Chinese professional basketball league was Marbury.He even became a big mountain in the basketball circle.Became an American with a Chinese green card.

"Hello, Wang." Just as Wang Shipeng was in a daze thinking about Marbury, Marbury himself came over.

It turned out that Marbury had just arrived in Madison because of his participation in the disaster relief operations in New York. As the captain of the Knicks and the titular leader, he always had to come forward to say hello to the leader of the opponent.

Although Douglas got in early, it would be a bit taboo if it was another team.But everyone knows that Douglas is attending the Bulls, so it doesn't matter.

Wang Shipeng came back to his senses, saw the lone wolf in front of him, and smiled.

"Hello, nice to see you again, Stephen."

Wang Shipeng has a close relationship with Marbury and the New York team.Before the draft, almost everyone, including Wang Shipeng himself, thought that Wang Shipeng would join New York.In China, even the Knicks jerseys were sold a lot more.

However, because of the honey operation of the smiling assassin, Wang Shipeng was finally targeted by Cartwright, entered the Bulls, and lost his fate with the Knicks.

Then, as Wang Shipeng played better and better, he became the top scorer in the Eastern Conference and even the entire league with a mysterious speed in just two seasons, and the New Yorkers regretted it too late.

In addition to Wang Shipeng, the Knicks and the Bulls have another fate.That is the starting shooting guard of the Knicks. Jamal Crawford, who averaged 20+5 per game, was selected by the Bulls and made his worth, and was later traded to the Knicks by the team.

Also because of these fates, and New York and Chicago are the top basketball markets in the United States, so the Bulls and Knicks games are very popular.

Both TNT and ESPN have set the game to be televised across the United States very rarely, and have sent out ace lineups.

ESPN came with Bill Walton and Bill Simmons.TNT, on the other hand, habitually dispatched the double-treasure combination of Barkley and Smith.

But it's a pity, because the Chinese derby between the Lakers and the red team also started at the same time.So China's Tianchao Sports Channel chose to broadcast the game between the Lakers and the red team live.

There is also a special guest who came to watch the game today.That is Yi Jianlian, who is already well-known in the high school basketball circle and is known as the best high school insider after Oden.

The Shengzhong basketball team will also come to New York to play an away game, so after knowing that Wang Shipeng will also come to New York, Yi Jianlian immediately bought tickets to Madison Square.

But this time, Yi Jianlian did not contact Wang Shipeng in advance. He planned to surprise Brother Peng after the game was over.

Wang Shipeng, who talked with Marbury for a few words, returned to his position, and the game is about to start.

The Knicks' starters are: center Mohammed, power forward Tim Thomas, small forward Allan Houston, shooting guard Jamal Crawford, point guard Marbury
The starting lineup for the Bulls is: center Milicic, power forward Chandler, small forward Turkoglu, shooting guard Wang Shipeng, point guard Janelen Pargo
Wang Shipeng didn't have much desire to attack at first.After the first shot failed to hit, Wang Shipeng even gave up the opportunity to continue to attack and continued to play balls for Milicic inside.

Milicic did not disappoint Wang Shipeng either, using the weak defense inside the Knicks to go on a killing spree, hitting consecutive shots.

First, Thomas was stuck to complete a small hook, and then the next ball used a back turn to sway the defensive Muhammad, and a one-handed dunk.

Today, after nearly a season of explosion, no one can regard Milicic, who averaged 19.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, as a parallel importer. Although it may not be as good as the two top stars Wang Shipeng and James, Milicic Qi's coffee position can also be ranked in the top five in the 03 generation.

So when Milicic started to score consecutive points, Marbury and Crawford looked at each other. Obviously, the Knicks have a strong desire to attack with two guns tonight.

But the point guard is the one who holds the ball after all, and in the end it was Marbury who came forward to respond to the ball.

Seeing Marbury engrossed, Wang Shipeng couldn't help but mourn for Pago.If there is any defender in today's league that can match Philadelphia's breakthrough ability, then obviously, it must be Marbury.

Marbury's breakthrough is not only frighteningly fast, but also surprising in its rhythmic changes.Wang Shipeng had experienced Marbury's breakthrough last year, so he had no hope that Pago would be able to defend against Marbury.

Sure enough, Marbury only made two easy changes of direction, and Pago was so shaken that he couldn't find his way.Marbury then easily broke through Pargo and rushed into the interior.
