The Air Force Arena, the home stadium of the New Jersey Nets, is called the Sugar Cube Arena by league players because the entire Air Force Arena looks like a sugar cube when viewed from the air.
The youngest team manager and coach in the NBA, Blake Dolan, brought his Knicks team to the territory of the New Jersey Nets at the end of this summer.
Although it is only a preseason game, this game still received enough attention. The biggest highlight is what the two young head coaches can show to everyone in their first NBA-level game.
results.
Knicks head coach Blake Dolan has carried out a major purge of the Knicks since he took office. So far in the offseason, only three players on the Knicks have not been traded, and the rest have new roles. And the latest news,
The Knicks signed NBADL Erie Warhawks forward Udonis Haslem who performed well in the summer league.
The commentators for this game today are NBA-TV's Marv Albert and Rick Kamara. Although Marv Albert is called the "Voice of the Knicks," he obviously doesn't support New York in this game.
Team:
"Now the players of the two teams are warming up. We see that the New Jersey Nets' lineup from last season has been completely retained. This is correct. This allows the tactics to operate perfectly. On the other hand, the Knicks have carried out the biggest game in recent years.
Purge, I can't understand why they sent Sprewell to the Utah Jazz. Isn't Sprewell's salary more reasonable than Scottie Pippen? Kurt Thomas also went to the Houston Rockets and the New York Knicks
Si is like a good partner of the Western Conference teams, giving them strong players without asking for anything in return!"
"You don't seem to be satisfied, Marfo. I remember you praised Blake Dolan in the NCAA commentary last season. Now changing your stance is like your previous style!" Rick Kamara said with a smile.
"Sometimes I analyze whether a team is more important, the coach or the players. Now I think the players are more important. Without Sprewell and Kurt Thomas, the Knicks are like losing their shield and sword.
, neither offense nor defense." Marv Albert is not only an NBA commentator, but also a die-hard Knicks fan. Like most New York fans, he is full of resentment towards Blake Dolan.
"Indeed, I think the toughest thing about the Knicks now is not the players, but the two assistant coaches on their coaching staff, Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley. I think they can definitely change their jerseys when the team encounters trouble in the game.
Come on stage, at least he is more reliable than those rookies." Rick Kamara also nodded and said.
"Lawrence Frank, who is also serving as the head coach for the first time this season, is obviously much smarter than Blake Dolan. I think Frank is smarter than Blake because he has been an assistant coach with the Nets for a period of time. He knows better what he should do.
Do something instead of being like Blake Dolan, who treats the Knicks like a toy and dismantles and assembles them at will," said Marv Albert.
"Okay, let's cut to a commercial first. Now that the players' warm-up is over, they return to the locker room to listen to their coaches' instructions. After the commercial, Ma Fu and I will explain this wonderful game for everyone!" Ricka
Marla said.
…
"I have submitted today's starting list, center Kevin Cato, power forward Eddie Griffin, small forward Scottie Pippen, shooting guard Alan Houston, point guard Charlie Ward, uh, this set
The biggest advantage of the lineup is that our forwards and defenders are experienced. The disadvantage is that they cannot be faster. Charlie, today you will face Jason Kidd, the strongest and most comprehensive point guard in the league. That is a difficult role! You have to
What you do is put as much pressure on him as possible on defense and tell him that you are one of the best defensive point guards in the league. No matter how comprehensive he is, you can put him in the refrigerator and refrigerate him! Don't worry about the cost.
Physical strength! There are three rookie point guards behind you who will replace you!" Blake Dolan said while standing in front of the tactical board...
"This is my first show! I don't want to mess it up! Listen! The offensive core of the New Jersey Nets has never been Richard Jefferson, even if that guy averages 20 points per game! On defense! Put you all away
Use all the means you can think of! Look at everyone! We can relax one person! That is Jason Kidd! We must make it impossible for him to pass the ball! Let him score by himself! Yes, let him go, he is willing
If so, you can score as many points as you want, but don’t let him pass comfortable balls to Nets players! Offensively! According to what I said, the Princeton matrix system is an arrogant strategy! Come on! Boys! Let’s have an arrogant start!
Let’s start our offensive frenzy in the new season!”
…
At the same time, in the Nets locker room, Lawrence Frank stood elegantly in front of the players in a suit and leather shoes, with a steady and powerful voice:
"The Knicks have just been cleaned this summer. They should be unable to find their rhythm offensively, because they should have no tacit understanding with their teammates. This is fatal. We only need to strengthen our defense a little to make them
Lost, I ask you to defend them more closely. Offensively, we will continue to use the tactics of last season. Everyone thought that we used the Princeton system to reach the finals last season. I am very happy to see this result. In fact,
, That is not Princeton, but a disguise. Princeton's offense focuses on passing the ball, and our tactics, basketball, must be in the hands of Jason Kidd. This is the biggest difference, Jason, use your abilities.
Put on a good show and give it to our youngest head coach in the league."
"I will, coach!" Jason Kidd leaned on his seat and raised his head.
"They are here to give us victory, and this is also my show." Lawrence Frank said while looking at the players.
Nets players all understand the meaning of this sentence. Last season, due to the conflict between Jason Kidd and Byron Scott, Byron Scott had no choice but to resign. Jason Kidd suggested to the management that Lawrence Frank be promoted from the position of assistant coach.
, in other words, this is the head coach chosen by the Nets players themselves.
"Of course! We won't let a bad team like the Knicks mess up your show! Lawrence! Don't worry! I'll give you a gift!" Kenyon Martin stood up and stretched his arms.
"What do you think the Knicks are doing in the visiting team's locker room right now?" Richard Jefferson asked Jason Kidd next to him.
"I don't know, maybe we can try New Jersey's specialty, Trenton tomato pie, after we fail in the game, but I think losers won't have a good appetite." Jason Kidd touched his head and said.
…
While they were guessing, Black Dolan, holding a cigarette in his mouth, said to several players who had been drilled in the summer:
"Show your summer training results to the people of New Jersey. Just as I train you, you can ravage them. Stephen, take your little brothers and get ready. This is your show too!"
