Chapter 115: Starting lineup for the new season

"My vacation is over, so I will train in advance to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA." Lian Dao also greeted his future teammates with a smile.

Millsap is also familiar, and he didn't act like a veteran just because Lian Dao was a rookie.

At the same time, since he counterattacked from the second-round pick, hard training is also one of the reasons why he can counterattack.

Therefore, he fully approves of Lian Dao's training attitude.

After the two people greeted each other, they also got acquainted quickly, and then they also trained together.

Finally, Lian Dao didn't have to just guard the training team.

When Millsap joined the training, he also discovered Lian Dao's strong training intensity.

Not only is he grinning secretly, he is not afraid of others being strong, but he is afraid that others are both strong and work harder than you.

Seeing Lian Dao's rhythm, Millsap couldn't help but increase the training intensity.

There used to be only one arena mouse in the Madison Square Garden training facility, but now it has two.

After Millsap joined, Lian Dao also added 1V1 confrontation in training.

When Lian Dao first proposed 1V1, Millsap didn’t take Lian Dao seriously. Although Lian Dao was the No. Lost to a rookie who just entered the league.

But the fact is that as soon as I contacted Millsap, I found that I was wrong.

Millsap took the lead and wanted to give full play to his strength advantage on the first ball, but he was a little surprised to find that the continuous force did not overwhelm Liandao's defense.

It seems that this champion has two tricks.

Millsap also exerted all his strength at this time.

Lian Dao also tried his best to block it with all his strength. Through the game of strength, the strength of the two people was actually about the same.

After testing out his strength, Lian Dao retreated suddenly, and the sudden "removal of the stool" operation made Millsap unable to hold back his strength at all, staggered directly, and made a mistake in dribbling.

Lian Dao took advantage of the trend to steal.

Offensive and defensive transition, three threats, emergency stop fake, disguised step back, shooting.

Millsap couldn't keep up with Lian Dao at all, especially when he retreated in disguise after an emergency stop, Millsap was thrown out directly.

"brush!"

The first ball, a three-pointer.

He didn't expect that Lian Dao, who was taller than himself, would be so flexible.

For the second ball, Millsap went directly to the confrontation.

Lian Dao suddenly started to break through, took the first step like lightning, then stopped suddenly, pulled back, and broke through quickly again.

After passing Millsap directly by using speed, he made a layup and then made a layup.

At this moment, Millsap's scalp was numb from Lian Dao's performance.

He really couldn't imagine how such a tall man could act like a defender.

He has some doubts about life. Is there such a big gap between people?

I am shorter than him!

Why can't I do this move, God, it's not fair!

For the third ball, Millsap didn't dare to lean too far forward at this time.

Lian Dao made a quick one-step shot from outside the three-point line.

"brush!"

A super long three-pointer!

At this time, Millsap no longer dared to regard Lian Dao as a rookie in his heart.

Millsap also defended the fourth ball very seriously.

Lian Dao broke through to the basket and did not get rid of him, but Lian Dao turned around and feinted at this time, followed by a cross step, and used it again to turn around to open up space and shoot.

"brush!"

This is the inside footstep that Lian Dao has just practiced recently, and the shooting stability needs to be improved.

But this time in the 1V1 match against Millsap, Lian Dao also took it out.

This time luck was also good, and I entered directly!

At this time, Millsap had nothing to do with Lian Dao.

However, Millsap still said "come again"!

Lian Dao was also very happy to finally meet a suitable training partner.

On the fifth ball, Lian Dao still used the inside footwork, Olajuwon's signature move, dream footwork, this time Millsap was also dizzy by Lian Dao Akira on the inside, and then scored a layup.

Lian Dao's inside footwork, currently the best used is the dream dance.

After this 1V1 duel, Millsap was also convinced of Lian Dao.

In the next few days, they will spend training, confrontation, training, and confrontation.

The point is that these two people are still enjoying it.

During this period of time, Millsap also changed from being convinced before to idol worship.

Following behind Lian Dao, it seemed that he was following Lian Dao's lead.

I didn't know, I thought he was the rookie of the year!

Two weeks later, the Knicks players came one after another.

And the last to arrive was Al Harrington.

This guy is a whole lot fatter than the last time Lian Dao saw him.

In the off-season life, he lived quite comfortably.

D'Antoni frowned when he saw Al Harrington, but he didn't say anything.

But this does not mean that D'Antoni has a good temper. After the start of the training camp, the grumpy mustache is also online.

The effect is quite obvious, at least everyone's enthusiasm has improved a lot during the training, although it is passive.

This meant that Lian Dao didn't get scolded. There was nothing he could do about it. Smart people don't make mistakes on the court, and if they don't make mistakes, they won't get scolded.

After the first training session, Lian Dao knew D'Antoni's position in the team.

It was about the same as what Lian Dao guessed.

The arrival of Lian Dao made Xiao Huzi the most gratified that he finally found his own Nash.

That's right, it's still the old tactic: one big, four small **** attack.

Lian Dao is the organizer of the overall situation.

The only thing that has changed is that Lian Dao is an organizational small forward.

A high-level screener, although David Lee cannot achieve high-quality screens, he can share the pressure on the offensive end, especially the inside offense. David Lee is currently the best Knicks.

And Paul Millsap can also share part of the cover pressure, let alone Al Harrington, with a weight of 104 kg, it is really hard to fight against the fourth position.

Three-point shooters and off-ball runners, to be honest, there may be a lack of others in Mustache's team, and there is absolutely no shortage of three-pointers.

It is still Mustache's best "run and bomb" tactic.

This tactic is also very good for Lian Dao, because Lian Dao is the main core player of this team, so there is no need to worry about ball possession.

In Mustache's team, as long as you have the ability to score and organize the ball, you will definitely have a chance.

This is why Harden's data will explode when Mustache coaches the Rockets in the future.

As for defense? what is that.

Mustache also didn't take the defense that Lian Dao told him before at all.

In the entire Knicks, except for Lian Dao, there is only Paul Millsap's defensive line. There was Zach Randolph before this, but this guy was a cancer during his time in the Knicks, and he was in constant trouble.

Therefore, UU Reading , a defensive player, was traded.

The Knicks' starting lineup has also been finalized.

Starter:

PG: Chris Duhon; SG: Wilson Chandler; SF: Lian Dao; PF: Paul Millsap; C: David Lee

substitute:

Point guard: Tony Douglas; Shooting guard: Larry Hughes; Small forward: Danilo Gallinari; Power forward: Al Harrington; Center: Darko Milicic

Here, the reason why Paul Millsap was mentioned in the starting lineup was that Al Harrington had a disagreement with Lian Dao, and he was still worried about Lian Dao's trial 1V1 shaved his head.

Therefore, Lian Dao has been rejecting Lian Dao both in training and off the court.

And Paul Millsap did cooperate tacitly with Lian Dao in training, especially Paul Millsap's defensive ability is quite good.

Therefore, D'Antoni also mentioned Paul Millsap as the starter.
