shooting guard era

Chapter 23 23. Such a Knicks
The Knicks are a model of stupid people with a lot of money. If your team has a star with a big contract, but his strength has declined and he has conflicts with the team, give it to the Knicks, and they will be happy to take over.

Those teams who want to retire with big contracts can also go to the Knicks...

Any star who comes to the Knicks with a big contract basically leaves the Knicks, which is tantamount to retirement.

This is how the title of basketball graveyard came about.

At noon on the day of the game against the Knicks, the Bobcats sent a team bus to Ye Han's house to pick him up.

This made Ye Han feel a little strange. Could it be that the team has paid so much attention to him that they have to pick him up to and from get off work every day?
But why the bus?Can't we get a better car?

When he came to the arena, he finally understood why.

Outside the Time Warner Center arena, it was packed with reporters and media!

If Ye Han still ran to the arena like before, it would be fun.

In a small city like Shanmao, Ye Han has such popularity!

He obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the fans. North Carolina, which has a famous basketball school in North Carolina, has fans as enthusiastic as any other city. Fans flocked to Charlotte from surrounding cities just to see Ye Han.

Take a look at one of the hottest rookies today, and watch his [-]s, blocks and... dunks!
Ye Han didn't expect that his dunks on the court would make him so popular that everyone wanted to see him dunk.

In Kobe's words, after TNT added a live broadcast for the Bobcats in the last game, ABC TV also did it. They temporarily added a national live broadcast today, allowing the Bobcats to increase the number of live broadcasts in the United States from zero to two this season.

That's right, Bobcats didn't have a national live broadcast in the previous plans of major TV stations, and there really wasn't one.

Therefore, building a new team is a matter of burning money. It requires a new arena and franchise fees, which add up to three or four hundred million yuan. The annual salary is tens of millions, and there are various expenses.

And it is almost impossible for the new team to make money at the beginning. There is no sponsorship, no broadcast fee, only ticket money. The ticket price is the lowest in the league.

The average price of Bobcats season tickets is $19, which is two-thirds of the second-to-last average ticket price. Although the stadium is full, there is no money to be made.

This time, there will be a national live broadcast of the home game, and it will be able to get a sponsorship of one hundred thousand dollars from the sponsor of the billboard beside the stadium.

The Bobcats' sponsorship fee may be the cheapest in the league, and there are no stars and a small ball market.

But now with Ye Han, the popularity of the team has skyrocketed. Not only in North Carolina, but also in the whole of the United States, they began to pay attention to the Bobcats.

This was something completely unexpected by the Bobcats management. Who would have thought that they just went to observe Okafor and thought that this Chinese guy was good. He happened to have a second-round pick, and he couldn’t find any treasures in the second round of this young draft. , I chose Ye Han, partly because I saw the rocket's commercial success.

Who knew that Ye Han could explode with such strength?
"Ace, that's so cool! There are all your fans outside! If only I could score 40 points." Okafor said enviously, seeing Ye Han walk into the locker room, hooking Ye Han's shoulder.

Ye Han was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that Okafor is a person with a strong desire to express himself.

"Emeka, if you get 20 rebounds, you will have so many fans." Ye Han said maliciously.

"Really?" Okafor had a slight feeling that Ye Han was lying to him.

"Look at Rodman, although he doesn't score well, he has a lot of rebounds, and he is still so popular now." Ye Han continued to bewitch.

Okafor was contemplating. His offense was really mediocre. His opponents were not that strong in college, so he couldn’t see it. After arriving in the NBA, he obviously felt his lack of offense. He is a smart guy and knows that his strengths are rebounding and defense. The offense rarely asks for the ball.

Ye Han just said that, but he didn't expect Okafor to take it seriously and think seriously.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the game between the Bobcats and the Knicks will begin at the Time Warner Center Arena.

How should I describe Ye Han's feelings for the Knicks?
He was full of vigor, not like a team of athletes at all, but like old men playing chess on the street in China.

Is this the former violent power forward Wen-Baker?

Looking at Wen-Baker, who is full of fat, has no fighting spirit at all, and has an expression of why the game is not over before he has even played, it is really unbelievable. How unprofessional he is, he actually made his body look like this ?
Let’s look at other people, Mr. Alan Houston who is sitting on the sidelines, Stephen Marbury who looks like I look down on these teammates on the court...

What kind of team is this?
The starting lineups of both sides: Bobcats sent the same starting lineups as before two games, Blevin Knight, Ye Han, Gerald Wallace, Okafor, Brezek.

Knicks starting, Stephen - Marbury, Jamal - Crawford, Jerome - Williams, Kurt - Thomas, Wen - Baker.

At the start of the game, Brezek and Wen-Baker jumped the ball in the middle circle.

Blazek's matchbox-like jumping ability was so good in front of Beer Belly Baker, he passed the ball to Ye Han, Ye Hanqiu kept pushing it to Blevin Knight, and then quickly played.

Force a quick break at the start!

Ye Han went straight to the opponent's basket, Kurt Thomas and Vin Baker slowly returned to the defense, and he was the only one in the frontcourt!

Ye Han stepped into the free throw line and soared into the air, and Blevin Knight's pass timing was just right.

"boom"

Opening lob dunks!
Worth the price of admission!The fans at the scene burst into violent cheers.

Being dunked by the opponent at the beginning of the game, even a player on a poor team will feel upset and want to respond.

But as if nothing happened, the Knicks picked up the ball slowly and sent it to Marbury, who dribbled it to the frontcourt.

If there is any strong point for the Knicks to gain a foothold in the NBA, it is their double guns in the backcourt.

There is no doubt about Marbury's personal strength, and Jamal Crawford's strength at shooting guard is also among the top guards.

Such a combination is a huge threat to any opponent.

Ye Han single-handedly defends Marbury, Gerald Wallace defends Crawford, Blevin Knight is basically a black hole in defense, no one can defend, use him to defend Gero, who has poor offensive ability Tom Williams.

Marbury singled out Ye Han, Ye Han really couldn't defend himself!
It can be said that no one in the entire league can single-handedly defend Marbury, who is now at the peak of his personal ability.

Gerald Wallace came over to help defend after seeing this, and Crawford's top arc was empty!The latter yelled at Marbury for the ball.

Ye Han thought to himself, what is Gerald Wallace doing?There are insiders who can make up defenses and actually let go of Crawford, a pitcher with super three-point ability!
At this moment, Marbury made a direct shot from the mid-range!
