The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Even D'Antoni could only feel one thing after watching, the team still needed a pure ball handler.

There was nothing else to say...

"Boris, you're in the starting lineup!" Tyronn Lue thought of Boris Dior.

After a game, it was clear that the New York Knicks' offense had become much smoother.

More importantly...

There was an unexpected gain!

Stephen Curry's movement suddenly became more threatening.

How could it not be!

Su Wan knew clearly...

With Boris Dior in the starting lineup, it was as if Stephen Curry had found his "Iron Bull" early.

Just the two moves played by "Chasing Dreams" Green, for Boris Dior, were just four words:

Overqualified!

Of course, one by one, Green's defensive ability was also much higher than Dior's.

If it were Green using "War Trample," he would have dominated Dior defensively in no time.

However, New York's lineup didn't need Dior to contribute much on defense.

Paul George, Su Wan, and Tyson Chandler.

The "Sweeping Trio" of the Pacers, it looked like version 2.0 was about to appear.

Dior only needed to do one thing, and that was to get the New York Knicks' starting lineup tactics in order, the rest, he really didn't need to worry about.

The only issue if he joined the starting lineup was his...

Physical fitness!

With his body fat and physical fitness, playing for twenty-eight or twenty-nine minutes was fine, but playing for thirty-something minutes would be a bit too much for him.

The coaching staff could only do last-minute preparations, tying him to the treadmill and making him run for his life, with only a few days left before the new season started.

Dior had never thought that the first thing after joining New York would be losing weight.

Alright...

Those years at the Pistons had been too indulgent.

In his heart now...

Regret!

So, the New York Knicks' starting lineup for the new season was set:

"Point Guard Stephen Curry, two Su Wan, small forward Paul George, power forward Boris Dior, center Tyson Chandler;"

As for sophomore Paul George getting a starting spot, Vince Carter had no complaints, he had already been on the bench last year. Even though this time he was backing up an unknown rookie, he didn't mind.

Mainly because during the training camp, he had already seen Paul George's current capabilities.

How to put it!

If the New York Knicks wanted a future, then they definitely should start him this season.

As for Artest...

He didn't dare have an opinion.

Also, Ray Allen had no complaints about sitting on the bench.

Donnie Walsh had already told him before coming.

After he arrived, he was playing backup to Su Wan.

Ray Allen had thought it through before coming to New York... He wasn't here for a starting spot; he came here for the Championship Trophy. Apart from that, nothing else mattered!

He was someone very clear about what stage he was at and what he should aim for.

And Danilo Gallinari, who lost his starting position...

He was a bit unhappy.

For him, who trained madly over the summer, was ready to make a big impact in the new season.

Now being directly stripped of the starting position was a blow.

But look at those sitting on the bench:

Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Artest...

None of them had any complaints.

Where could Gallinari dare to complain!

About a week later, after the starting lineup was confirmed, media day arrived, followed by a day, the preseason games.

As the schedule was very tight this time, David Stern didn't organize any "Huaxia Game."

During the 4 preseason games, Su Wan did not play.

D'Antoni gave Thomas and Jimmy Butler enough playing time to let them feel what NBA-level games were like.

Their performance was not very good.

This was within Su Wan's expectations.

Both were those types of players who needed development.

What surprised him was, if it had been the usual New York fans, seeing the team's new recruits perform only this well, would have booed throughout the arena, but this time, he heard no boos...

The focus of New York fans wasn't on these two at all.

Well!

Now they were already defending champions!

As New Yorkers, they all voluntarily raised their own standards.

If they still cared about two rookies not performing well, that would be too devaluing.

Instead, some media took the chance to say: "Su Wan's miraculous predictions are gone!"

But without needing Su Wan to respond, the New York media defended Su Wan with strong responses, directly cursing those few media outlets.

Since Su Wan won the championship, the already protective New York media now defended him even more...

On December 23, all NBA preseason games ended, the "Opening Game" was imminent, Ivanka asked Su Wan to go see a fashion show, Su Wan wasn't interested, but seeing Ivanka looking eagerly at the fashion show flyer, he agreed.

Unexpectedly, just at the entrance of the fashion show, they ran into West and Kim Kardashian.

Apparently, since their hookup at Diddy's party last time, these two really sparked something.

Hmm, okay, they indeed had a complicated relationship.

Kim Kardashian glanced warily at Ivanka.

She knew there was such a woman by Su Wan's side.

But...

This woman had been around Su Wan for too long, right?
