Chapter 215: [Lazy time, fight again at Christmas]

After playing for another 3 minutes, the Raptors led 16-8. Carter and Jumeiyin each had a good three-pointer miss, and Van Gundy was shocked.
Boykins scored 9 points, and Van Gundy only requested a timeout. He replaced Bowen, who didn't score for a short one, replaced Larry Johnson, and Ewing continued to play.
Bowen can only be a fixed-point shooter on the offensive end. There are people in front of him, even if there is a slight interference, he dare not shoot more. Don't look at his career three-point shooting rate of 40%, in fact, shooting two points, can not participate in the star weekend long shot contest.
The game continued, Boykins went to Sprewell and was immediately beaten. The "madman" hit a three-pointer on the right. 16 to 11.
Boykins scored the ball after the pick and roll. O'Neal also turned the color with a 45-degree left turn jumper and scored two points under Sprewell's defense. 18 to 11.
Sprewell once again singled out, relying on Boykins to turn around and miss the shot, Ben Wallace grabbed a rebound to find his teammate, O'Neal steals the hitter.
When a dead ball appeared, Yang Rui hurried to adjust, and McGrady played for Boykins. He didn't lose his height.
After a few more rounds, no matter who Ewing was defending, the Raptors attacked from his side, testing Ewing's lateral movement and testing his knee.
When dealing with opponents, Yang Rui is never polite, and if he has weaknesses, he will seize it.
Thibodeau asked on the sidelines: "Is the Knicks an adjustment error? The person who should end up is not Bowen, but Ewing."
D'Antoni nodded: "I think it's also true. If Ewing is too slow, if he plays small ball tactics to speed up the pace, Wallace's defense and rebounding are not bad, they may not be behind.
Yang Rui smiled: "Yeah, as long as he allows Ewing to play longer, we will definitely win, and I said I want to eat again."
Both assistants felt that Van Gundy was too rigid, and Van Gundy was completely unaware that he was used to Ewing as the core of the inside. From Van Gundy to the Knicks as an assistant, Ewing is the team leader. This season's salary of 15 million as a role player is too luxury, but even many fans can see that Ewing can't move.
Ewing averaged 32.8 minutes per game and only scored 15 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 12.5 attempts. He shot 46.6% from the field, averaged 2.3 turnovers per game, and committed 3.2 fouls. If Yang Rui is in charge of this efficiency, he has to let him play the bench.
Ewing and the Knicks renewed their contract with 70 million for 4 years, with an average salary of 17.5 million, which expires in 2001. In 1996, Olajuwon was 33 years old and the Rockets renewed their contract for only 60 years with an average salary of 12 million.
No matter how much the "Gorilla" has contributed to the team before, now he has high salaries and low energy, and his strength has declined.
Ewing and Ben Wallace were out of sync, creating an embarrassing situation. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Knicks finally ranked third in the East without Bowen and Big Ben. Now the team has a stronger lineup, but only the sixth in the East.
There is no worst, only worse.
In the second quarter, the Knicks' offense remained unchanged. In the summer, the new Knicks manager Scott Redden introduced John Wallace and Kurt Thomas.
Thomas, who is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg, is an excellent substitute. He can not only defend, fight for rebounds, but also has a decent shot, which can evacuate the basket to a greater extent. But he has a single offensive approach and lacks the ability to hold the ball.
After John Wallace left the Raptors, the Blazers' performance could only be said to be alive. Rayden actually signed him back to the Knicks with an annual salary of 2 million. He also felt that he was profitable because of John's outstanding physical fitness. Earl Grunfeld decided that the goods would not work, and almost gave the Raptors away in vain.
Larry Johnson struggled to defend McGrady. After a while, he made three offenses and took a break. Charlie Ward and Bowen were offensively weak. The Knicks only left John Wallace on the offensive end and played consecutively under Detrev. The bigger the difference, the bigger the difference.
Van Gundy's adjustment method is to send Sprewell and Houston in advance.
Carter, who only scored 6 points in the first half, exploded in the second half. He counterattacked Houston and singled for a consecutive layup. Houston failed to cover the single defense. If misplaced, Ewing can only foul on Carter.
Shooting feels bad, Carter has other ways to play.
In the last three minutes of the final quarter, the Raptors also led by 24 points. The two sides replaced marginal players and entered garbage time. In the end 119 to 91, the Raptors won easily.
Carter made 13 of 25 shots, 3 of 3 3-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
The team scored in double figures with 6 people. Boykins played 18 minutes and scored 3 assists in 23 minutes.
The Knicks scored the most with Sprewell, scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
The arrangement of the league is very interesting. Both parties received two days of rest, and played against each other again in New York on Christmas Day 25.
This is the first time the Raptors participated in the Christmas War, and now they are the guarantee of ratings.
In the all-star voting that has begun, the Raptors have six candidates. Carter's number of votes is far ahead, and has locked the star ticket king. Kidd and Kobe, who can start in the West, have less than half the votes.
I arrived in New York one day earlier, and at Christmas noon, Yang Rui and Scarlett ate hot pot together and gave each other gifts.
Scarlett gave Yang Rui a calvinklein white shirt and told him: "Don't wear it on the side of the stadium, eating will get dirty."
The gift that Yang Rui gave was exquisite. The cat's gold earrings under the moon. Scarlett saw these earrings in Los Angeles in the summer because the price was not bought.
This is a new model in 1999, and there is a slogan. Staying with a cat can make you forget the usual noise, a cup of tea, a book, a cat, quiet afternoon, and enjoy the lazy time like a cat.
Scarlett is a lazy person, this gift is very suitable, she is very happy.
In the Christmas fight in the evening, the players played, and the home fans booed Ewing, Van Gundy, but Carter, McGrady and Yang Rui received a lot of applause.
The Knicks have switched from the core of the inside to the double of the outside. They still have a certain competitiveness. Ewing can't help much, but the contract is the highest in the team, which makes the fans disgusted.
What many fans think is that if you take Ewing for a 15 million annual salary star, the Knicks are again a super team and can rush to the championship. They ignored Ewing’s youth and dedicated them to this team.
When the players warmed up, Thibodeau said to Yang Rui: "I am most fortunate now that I left New York with you. The fans here are so disappointing. It's embarrassing to boast the home team players like Christmas."
"Think empathically. This is called straightforwardness. If the Knicks can play well, they won't boo." Yang Rui smiled.
Love is deep, hate is cut.
In the future, the famous sports market analysis agency of Emory University in the United States has done a research on the subject of the NBA fans' loyalty ranking. The first place is the New York Knicks, and the second place is the Bulls with many old fans.
The core concept of this research is to focus on brand value, and to expand the number and strength of the fan base through more familiarity and loyal following.
The research first selects some other online rankings about the team~EbookFREE.me~ such as team merchandise sales surveys or fan random intentions.
Later, a specific data formula was used to study the relationship between the team's home income and fans' purchases. Analyze the relationship between this part of the income and the team's record ratio, player salary, market share, stadium capacity, number of all-stars in the team and so on, and estimate the team's product quality and potential revenue for the season. Finally, compare this estimated value with the team's actual home income and get the team's "fan value" through a specific formula.
If it is not for the Knicks, these fans have no time to spend money to boo them, just ignore it.
ps: Today's guaranteed three changes, the update time is 9, 11, 17 hours, the same as the previous book.
When there is a manuscript, I will explode it properly, and I will inform you when the time comes.
