Before the game, Curry received a warm welcome from New York fans.

From the moment he entered the court to warm up, there were many young fans coming over to ask Curry to sign his autograph.

It's strange that Curry is not so popular in Los Angeles, and he is not yet a star player.

As the No. 1 overall pick, his popularity comes more from controversy than his performance on the court.

Let's just say, New York fans really like this baby-faced guard.

During the draft, New York management and Knicks fans were ready for Curry's arrival.

At that time, the New Yorkers happened to be short of a point guard, and their head coach was D'Antoni, who was good at training point guards.

People are looking forward to the arrival of Curry, who can have a chemical reaction with D'Antoni and bring a different look to the Knicks.

Just like the Phoenix Suns acquired Steve Nash in 2005, the Knicks are eager for a turnaround.

It can be said that this is the only time the Knicks have not been blind in the draft in recent years. They picked a good player that suits them.

But such a good player was snatched away by the Clippers with the No. 1 pick.

When Stern took the stage and read, "The Los Angeles Clippers draft Steph Curry," the entire Madison Square Garden was booed.

Until now, the New York media and fans have been thinking about Curry, hoping that the Knicks can find a way to bring this guy to the Big Apple.

It can only be said that fans in each city have their own unique preferences and tastes.

It doesn’t mean that if you are strong or famous, fans will definitely like you.

Curry and New York are in love, and he really wants to play in New York.

It's a pity that Min Congda tore him apart alive and stabbed him to the west coast.

During the warm-up before the game, reporters also interviewed Curry and asked if he still wanted to play in New York.

Curry smiled and said: "Shouldn't I be playing in New York tonight? It feels good to come here once a year."

Curry has accepted life playing in Los Angeles, especially being in the same city as Ayesha.

As for the fans in New York, I appreciate your kindness and in return, score more points in Madison tonight.

As the game approached, Min Congda sat on the sidelines again and started eating popcorn.

The popcorn in New York tastes pretty good, and it is above average among the away popcorn that Min Congda has eaten so far.

"The popcorn in New York is pretty good, but it's better than Stamps. The popcorn at Stamps is terrible."

If he hadn't been so determined to make the team lose money, Min Congda would have wanted to open a popcorn shop in Staples Center.

Introducing the best flavors from other ballparks will definitely make money and blow up the original popcorn shop.

The Knicks start David Lee, Wilson Chandler, Chris Duhon, Gallinari and Jared Jeffries.

The Knicks' head coach is D'Antoni, a famous run-and-gun master who is good at coaching the team's offense and using point guards.

But the Knicks' lineup really doesn't even have a brilliant point guard.

Chris Duhon can only be said to be a so-so, fairly qualified point guard.

There is no serious star player on the team.

The Knicks have nothing to pursue this season, they just want to finish the season and wait for the big fish in the offseason.

Just look at the Knicks' bench and you'll know what they are doing this season.

McGrady, who is injured and can no longer play, has an expiring contract worth 23 million.

(Wrong writing here, McGrady has not yet been traded to the Knicks at this time.)

Eddie Curry, the little shark who is already extremely fat, has an expiring contract of 10 million.

Old Cat Mobley, who has a heart attack and can no longer play, has an expiring contract worth 9.5 million.

Al Harrington, who is in good form but is still on the bench, has an expiring contract worth 10 million.

The Knicks have a 50 million contract on the bench, but the salary cap in 2009 fell by 1.38 million to only 57.3 million due to the financial crisis.

In other words, the Knicks' bench almost fills the salary cap.

Such a salary structure is either stupid on the part of the management, or it is too far-reaching.

The Knicks are mentally retarded, and their plans are far from true.

The combat effectiveness of such a team can be imagined, and it is a typical team that bullies the weak and fears the strong.

When you encounter a weak team at home, you can stand up and bully your opponent to give the New York fans some sweetness.

If you go to an away game or encounter a strong enemy, you will lose half if you surrender. If you don't surrender, you will be massacred.

The Clippers are of course considered an underdog in the eyes of the Knicks, and they plan to make a difference.

The Clippers' starting lineup tonight gives Knicks players hope of bullying their opponents.

"Dunleavy's starting lineup, Davis, Curry, Thornton, Randolph, Kaman...why did he put Curry in the starting lineup?"

When the away starters came on the stage, the DJ called out Stephen Curry's name, and the fans at the scene gave a rare cheer.

Only then did Min Congda realize that Lao Deng had put Curry in the starting lineup. This was a bit fast.

"It seems that Deng understands what I mean. If Curry is allowed to start, the defense in the backcourt will be impossible to watch."

"The Knicks are still capable of fighting at home. Although these players are not stars, they are all pretty good."

"Just like that Houston Rockets, all the people came together to penetrate my ship's backcourt!"

Min Congda was thinking that Curry's defense was poor and the Knicks' backcourt could penetrate the Clippers.

This is a typical example of him substituting subjective emotions instead of objective facts.

Chris Duhon, a player who shoots less than 40% from the field all year round and averages 7 points per game this season, can he take the lead and penetrate the Clippers' backcourt?

The Knicks' lineup typically plays a forward route. David Lee, Chandler, and Gallinari are all outside forward players.

There is also Al Harrington sitting on the bench. They are all forwards. In the NBA environment of 2009 and 2010, they seemed a bit ahead of their time.

After the game started, both sides played quite conservatively in the first quarter.

Curry has yet to adapt to the feeling of starting, especially working with Baron Davis.

There were two turnovers in the offense, one failed to catch the ball and one pass went out of bounds.

The two teams were testing each other, and before the first official timeout, the two teams were tied at 7:7.

The hit rate is not high.

After the timeout, the Knicks, playing at home, took the lead in starting to exert force.

David Lee made continuous air cuts to the basket and succeeded in layups.

David Lee used his flexible positioning and counter-running to avoid a head-on confrontation with Randolph.

And in defense, the Knicks chose to use Wilson Chandler to defend Randolph.

Wilson Chandler, who is covered in tattoos, is strong and strong. Although he is a small forward, he is not afraid of power forward Randolph.

Both defenses were successful.

The Knicks counterattacked, and Gallinari was misplaced on the court and hit Curry hard!

The shot from close range also caused Curry to foul and receive an additional penalty!

"nice shot!"

Min Congda couldn't help but applaud Gallinari's 2+1.

Then I realized that something was not right, so I ate two popcorns in embarrassment.

At 14:7, the Knicks beat the Clippers 7:0.

Curry started the game for 5 minutes and contributed 1 foul and 2 turnovers.

Dunleavy stood on the sidelines, considering whether to take off Curry and replace him with Ricky Davis.

He turned around and looked at Min Congda, who was sitting not far from the bench, and thought about it and let it go.

It's too late, Smart will be nagging again, so give Curry some patience.

There is always such a process of adaptation.

The pace may be a little slow, but the trade is coming soon. After all, the game is too good to be tolerated without trading. Be patient.
