The game continued. The Raptors seemed to have surrendered in the last quarter. Their offense was resisted by the Knicks, and they became weak in the end.
The manager, Darnell Walker, had already announced that he would give up. With six minutes left, he had withdrawn all the main players.
Because of this, Yang Ming only played for two minutes in this quarter and was hastily replaced after getting three points.
What a loss!
When he returned to the substitutes 'bench, Yang Ming secretly felt that it was a pity.
The Raptors were too weak for the Knicks, and their offense was terrible. There was nothing they could do about their defense.
Although Van Gundy did not have many offensive tactics, he could make the entire team impregnable in terms of defense.
In the end, the New York Knicks defeated the home team Raptors with a 120:96, 24-point advantage.
As the main player of the team, Ewing was still okay in this game. He made 9 of 17 shots and got 20 points, 11 rebounding and 4 assists. However, with him guarding the basket, the Raptors 'paint didn't dare to be presumptuous at all. He even sent out three blocked shots.
Ming Yang scored the highest score in the game, 43 points. He made 15 of 23 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws. He scored 43 points and also sent out 5 assists, 6 rebounding, and 1 steal.
The team's second-highest score came from Starks. He made 7 out of 13 shots, 7 out of 8 free throws, and even hit a three-pointer. He scored 22 points, 5 rebounded, and 5 assists. He and Yang Ming's outside double corners completely penetrated the Raptors 'defense.
As for Oakley and the auntie, em…Forget about these two hooligans.
Because of Yang Ming's strong performance, they did not seem to have a high sense of existence. It was only reflected on the defensive end.
Stoudemire scored the highest points for the Raptors. He made 9 of 17 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored 28 points and sent out 10 assists. He had practically supported the Fierce Dragon's attack by himself. Without him, the Fierce Dragon would have collapsed earlier.
As the second-best player in the 1996s, Marcus Camby played 15 minutes as a substitute at home and only got five points and four rebounded.
When they left the stage, they looked at Yang Ming with envy and jealousy.
Yang Ming's core playstyle and playing time were really alluring.
"The game is over. The New York Knicks have won. Our young player, Ming Yang, has an eye-catching performance. He scored 43 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounded in his debut.”
Coach Zhang was full of admiration. As the first young player to appear in the NBA, Ming Yang had achieved such an outstanding performance. He was so excited that he couldn't stop praising him.
"Impressive. To be able to perform so perfectly on the highest stage in the world is very gratifying. He was only 18 years old. He was still so young. His future was definitely boundless. He had the potential to be a superstar and could look up to Jordan. He also proved that our country's basketball is not weak. We also have talented young players.”
Sun Zhengping pursed his lips secretly. What did Yang Ming's performance have to do with national basketball? That was his own performance.
Coach Zhang, you seem to have forgotten that our men's basketball summer league lost to a rookie led by the Los Angeles Laker?
Of course, Sun Zhengping couldn't say these words out loud. Otherwise, not only would he be laid off, but what he would face would be unimaginable. He chuckled and finished his explanation with a congratulatory speech.
"Let us congratulate Yang Ming for his perfect debut in the NBA.”
The game was over and the television station had begun to change the scene, but the enthusiasm of the domestic fans was still strong.
It was really surprising that someone in China could perform like this in the NBA. In the past, they could only watch a bunch of black and white people fighting each other on television. They were extremely envious of their superb skills.
Those black and white people were constantly appearing in the newspapers, as if they were the representatives of global idols.
They were very envious.
He didn't expect a domestic player to appear on the stage in the new season. Moreover, he performed so well in his debut. This was really a clear stream in the basketball world.
Therefore, from today onwards, Yang Ming would truly walk in front of the public and be recognized by countless people.
The game in Philadelphia was also over. Iverson performed well, scoring 12 of 19 shots and getting 30 points and 6 assists. Unfortunately, the team lost. At the last critical moment, he made two consecutive mistakes and ruined the victory. He lost to the Bucks by eight points.
However, no one blamed him. He had played well enough.
For a rookie who had just entered the Alliance, scoring 30 points in his first match was already an excellent performance. It once again proved his value as the top scorer.
Although he was a little unhappy about losing the game, his mood became better when he thought about his good data. He quietly asked Yang Ming's teammates who had met him a few times and had tried training together.
"Do you know how many points that guy got tonight? Did you win?"
In an era where the Internet was underdeveloped, this teammate naturally did not know. He was not like David Falcao, who had a special team and could watch several games at the same time.
Seeing him shake his head to show that he didn't know, Iverson left the stage with some regret.
He thought that if he really wanted to know, he could go back and watch the news at night.
Compared to Iverson, Ray Allen was much dimmer.
He was also in the starting lineup, but he only made 3-of-10 shots, 2-of-3 three-pointers, and hit 5 free throws, scoring 13 points. He watched Iverson leave with a complicated expression.
As a rookie of the same batch, he lost completely in the first match.
He was more concerned about Yang Ming, who was far away in toronto. He asked his teammates, but unfortunately, no one knew.
However, if he had known Kobe's current treatment, he would probably have felt lucky.
The Clippers beat the visiting Suns 96 - 82 at home. O'Neal performed well in his debut for the Clippers. He scored 8 out of 10 shots and got 23 points and 14 rebounded. It was the first double-double of the new season.
However, one of his future OK duo, Kobe Bryant, watched the game from the bench and did not get a minute of playing time.
Even the opposing player, Nash, was on the field. Even if he had only been on the field for five minutes and missed a goal, it was still considered a game. Kobe, who thought he was excellent, sat there all night. The outcome of the game had nothing to do with him.
He was extremely unhappy.
If he had known that Marbury had also played in an eight-minute game in the State of Pennsylvania, and that he had scored 0 out of 3 without contributing anything, he would have been furious.
Out of the top 15 of the first round, he was the only one who sat on the bench for an entire night.
After the New York Knicks defeated the Raptors, they won their first victory of the new season. When they returned to their hotel, everyone was in a relaxed mood. As for Yang Ming, who had the highest score in the game, he was grabbed by his teammates and his hairstyle was once again made into a chicken nest.
(The sixth chapter is here!) Speaking of which, if there's anyone who has invested more than 3,000 flowers or 1,000 points in tips, I'll post another update! Will anyone come?)
