All the audience members were excited by Yang Ming's three points. They stood up and exclaimed loudly.
He completely ignited the atmosphere at home.
"This is the offense we want. This is what matches our Knicks!”
"Yes, we have waited for such a crazy attack for too many years. That damned Riley. Because of him, we never got the style we wanted.”
"Just like that, kill the Wasps.”
The home stadium was in a sensation. Countless fans cheered and jumped for joy at this moment, overflowing with passion.
However, Iverson, who was sitting in front of the TV, was full of resentment and displeasure.
"Wasps and his gang are really bad. Why can't they even defend against him?”
"Oh my god, let him score again? What are you doing?"
"Another hit? Dell, get lost!"
From the moment Yang Ming scored, his anger had been rising rapidly. He wished he could run to New York and defend Yang Ming in place of Curry's father.
Every time Yang Ming scored, it was a heavy blow to his heart.
He had not played well in the last game under Jordan's oppressive defense, and he did not want Yang Ming to have an easy time tonight.
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. Yang Ming scored 8 out of 10 shots in the first quarter, and he scored 3 out of 3 points. He scored 19 points and was in top form.
The game didn't go as he wanted, and Iverson was disappointed with the Hornets.
"You guys still let him score so easily after this.”
After scoring three consecutive three-pointers and getting 19 points, Yang Ming was replaced.
All the players of the Hornets breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the other side would continue to stay on the field and do something again.
The feeling that Yang Ming gave them was too scary.
That kind of crazy, reckless attack with such high efficiency scared their hearts out. This was after they had suppressed the opponent's pillar of support, Ewing, with great difficulty, but Yang Ming had jumped out at this time and given them a head-on attack.
Too terrifying, too fierce!
Next was the rotation time. Not only Yang Ming, but Ewing and Oakley were also replaced with Big Ben, Wallace, and Mecati.
Seeing the three of them go on stage, the audience realized that there were actually five rookies in the Knicks lineup this year. This was enough to form a lineup.
Unfortunately, due to his lack of strength, Dotard Jones had never been sent to play by Van Gundy and had always sat at the end of the bench. Even the newcomers who had just entered the dungeon started to have time to play.
Not to mention Yang Ming, who was already regarded as the core of the outer perimeter.
After all, he was the 21st show this year.
Ben wasn't the rebounding monster or defensive genius of the detroit-winning lineup. Although he had good defense and the ability to rebound, his technique was rough and his size was too small, which was why he was not selected.
However, Van Gundy liked players who did dirty work like this, and it would be the same for the Rockets in the future. Even the 198-centimeter, free-throw shooter, Chuckles, was used by him as Yao Yao's first substitute.
Of course, this was also because the other two, Herb and Buck, who were both called Williams, were too old and had limited abilities.
The three rookies, especially Wallace, had a good performance.
In just a few minutes, he scored four out of seven shots and scored eight points, providing firepower support for the bench lineup.
When Yang Ming returned to the court, the Knicks had a 12-point lead over the Hornets.
However, something unexpected happened next.
Before the end of the second quarter, Divens and Ewing accidentally sprained their feet while rushing for the rebound and were forced to leave the field.
The Hornets lost a player inside, and their defense collapsed.
Although George Zidek was 2.13 meters tall, his weight was significantly lower than Divacs. He was not enough to face an experienced and powerful center forward like Ewing.
In the second half, Ewing was liberated and became omnipotent under the basket. He blew up Zideck in a gorgeous manner.
At the end of the third quarter, the game entered garbage time.
Yang Ming didn't do much in the third quarter. He mostly fed the ball to Ewing in the paint, allowing the latter to play with momentum.
Even so, he scored 15 out of 22 shots, 6 out of 8 three-pointers, and 5 out of 7 free throws. He still scored 41 points, 5 rebounding, 4 assists, and 1 steal.
Ewing's performance in the first half was average, but he recovered strongly in the third quarter. He made 10 out of 20 shots, 8 out of 5 free throws, and scored 25 points, 12 rebounding, 3 assists, and 3 blocked shots.
It was worth mentioning that John Wallace scored 8 of 13 shots and scored 16 points in the game, providing fire support for the main lineup when they were not present.
Big Ben was a constipated offense player, but he managed to get 10 boards in the limited time he had as a substitute. He was considered outstanding.
The highest scoring player for the Hornets was reserve point guard Anthony Goldwyer, who scored 16 points on 7 of 10 shots in 25 minutes.
Most of the remaining people only scored double figures.
In the away game, they lost to the home team, the Knicks, 86:122, losing by 36 points.
After Divacs left the field with an injury, their situation took a sharp turn. The collapse of the defense inside the line directly affected their offense. The strong players inside the line, such as Ewing and Oakley, put more energy into defense, making the inside impregnable. Even mosquitoes could not fly in.
After taking down the Hornets, the New York Knicks had two consecutive wins in the new season. They were temporarily tied with the defending champion, the Chicago Bulls, for first place in the Eastern Conference and first place in the league.
After two consecutive wins, the Knicks were in a jubilant mood. Everyone returned to the locker room with ease, and the audience was in a great mood.
In these two games, because of Yang Ming, the offense was no longer constipated and was much smoother. When the team was in trouble, he could stand up, take over the offense, score efficiently, and take the game away.
In two consecutive games, the opponents were thrown into garbage time. The Knicks 'offense had completely improved.
Yang Ming's consecutive 40 points also made everyone feel elated.
As a result, when he accepted the post-match interview, the audience did not want to leave for a long time. They kept staring at him with appreciation and felt happy.
"The Knicks have become stronger!"
"With Yang around, we won't be constipated anymore!”
"I really love this kind of Knicks, this kind of Yang, they play so well!”
Compared to the excitement of the New York fans, Iverson was not in a good mood. He stared at Yang Ming in front of the camera and gritted his teeth.
Damn it, it was 40 again.
Yang, we'll see.
Tonight, the two rookies of the 1996s were once again facing off against each other in a game that also included the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnetona Timberwolves.
Unfortunately, the collision did not happen.
Marbury didn't win any playing time, while Kobe only played for six minutes. He was replaced after an iron shot and never got another chance.
The two people sitting on the substitutes 'bench looked very bad, but they were helpless.
How many points did that guy get tonight?
The two of them thought at the same time.
