Chapter 697

"New York is a great place, but the Knicks...I like the Knicks a lot. I thought about going to the Knicks to retire to the Knicks when I get old. You know, they like to do this kind of thing the most."

"But I don't like the Knicks so much now. I can understand that they find a group of old people to give some exaggerated contracts. They have money. If they have money, they can do whatever they want. I don't know what it means to do whatever they want? Just don't know! But Traded to a lone wolf?"

"Wow, I like Garnett the most. Garnett is like Rasheed. Maybe it's more annoying to be an opponent, but as a teammate... It's also annoying, but he can make me win. More games, that's it!"

"Guys who can't even make it past the first round with a contender like Garnett, Knicks fans expect them to beat us in the playoffs? Is it sleep? Or is it sleep? Probably I really didn't wake up."

"I remember I got 60 points here, right? That's a pretty good number, and another 60 points? No, they don't have the qualifications to make me play so tired. I really don't have any motivation to play against them."

"The outcome of the game? Is there any suspense? Isn't the 12-game winning streak just around the corner? The Knicks are just a stepping stone for us to get the best record in the new century. We are sure to win..."

"..."

"..."

...

At noon, at the Hilton Hotel where the Eagles stayed, there was a lively discussion in the reserved conference room. On the projected TV screen, Liu Mang was talking nonsense.

And this time, I didn't set any goals, just to attack the Knicks purely, purely against Marbury, even to the point of raw hatred.

The entire interview in the program does not reveal what Liu Mang means. The content of the entire program is probably about watching the Knicks and watching Marbury feel bad, and forcibly finding topics to hate the Knicks.

Raw!

Forcibly fight!

Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang and his head hurt.

Isn't this just looking for trouble!

The last time Liu Mang came here and scored 60 points, the grievances between the Eagles and the Knicks have reached a very deep level, but they are all at an important juncture in the impact of the record. In the next game, he will not choose to fight recklessly with a team that is too far apart in strength like the Eagles, and may use more energy to deal with teams with similar strength.

Of course, even if the Knicks go all out, coach Kruger is not afraid. He defends well and attacks steadily, and he is not afraid of the Knicks who are going all out. The Eagles are in excellent condition.

But there is still a big gap between the Knicks who went all out and the Knicks who were irritated by Liu Mang and went all out!

There is a similar saying in the United States, that if you are too arrogant, you will die.

This wave of Liu Mang's forcible provocation, the Knicks already had a lot of players who were unhappy with Liu Mang, that is, the Eagles were unhappy, this time they had to risk their lives!

Coach Kruger didn't say much, what else can I do, wipe my ass! Find a way to deal with the Knicks who are bound to go berserk today, this game must be won!

It was announced that we would go to Madison Square Garden to warm up one hour earlier today, and the team meeting was postponed until before the start of the game. Coach Kruger took Mike Woodson, who was also speechless, and other members of the coaching staff to discuss.

Liu Mang is proud that he has provoked New York fans and made a big news without setting any flag that is too troublesome and difficult to complete. He has gained a wave of attention. There are unexpectedly many fans in New York. There are also many fans in the United States, and there are many people who like the Knicks. A team like the Knicks may be ridiculed by the whole world when they have a bad record, but it does not mean that they have no fans.

After Liu Mang's interview was broadcast on the ESPN noon news at noon, Liu Mang's hooligan value increased by hundreds of thousands. This time he directly attacked the Knicks, completely offending the Knicks fans.

The Knicks are also considered a strong team this year. Anyway, they are in the playoffs. They are now 29 wins and 30 losses. With their state, although they may reach 40 wins by the end of the season, they are still considered a strong team in the playoffs. , so Knicks fans are still very loyal at this stage.

How furious the Knicks players were when they encountered such an attack from Liu Mang, Liu Mang could meet them.

But to Liu Mang, it's no big deal, if the Knicks work hard, can't he do the same?

As soon as Coach Kruger left, Liu Mang, who was enjoying himself, was hooked by a bearded man with regrown corn whisker hair.

"Ace, during your interview, did you say that I'm as annoying as Garnett?" Rasheed Wallace said sullenly.

"?" Liu Mang was startled suddenly. In order to mock Marbury during the interview, he babbled nonsense, as if there was such a sentence!

"Well, Rashid, that's a rhetorical trick. Your name is just a rhetorical trick. You don't even understand rhetorical tricks. It's okay. I'll teach you. What? Don't want to learn? Don't! Hey, my brother... ... help!"

"Bastard Ace, stop! The whole world thinks I'm a cancer! Don't run!"

"Rashid! I'm a compliment!"

"Praise? Come on, buddy praise you too, come here!"

"Help..."

Liu Mang fled in despair, followed by a roaring Tianzun...

...

...

Regarding Liu Mang's trouble again, many people felt that Liu Mang blocked his way to the Knicks.

Especially New York fans, who do they think would not want to play in New York or Los Angeles?

The current Knicks have not been completely rotten in the past few years, and they have not reached the point where Marbury's late Knicks have the nickname "Rotten Apple".

In the current Knicks team, people still retain the image of the Knicks in the 1990s who reached the finals five years ago, especially this year, with the addition of Marbury and Anfernee Hardaway. Alan Houston was reimbursed for the season, and his state suddenly avalanche, which made his big contract directly into a bad contract, but Marbury led the Knicks, but went against the trend and played the best record in four years, which is very likely Made the playoffs again since 2001.

Looking at the Knicks lineup is also quite bluffing, and Marbury is only 27 years old, everything looks so good.

Marbury played really well this year, and his style of play is exactly the kind of player who seems to be able to play to 34-5 and maintain his form. He has fewer injuries, high attendance rate, and his style of play does not rely on physical fitness.

In the first year of returning to the Knicks alone, Marbury's performance was perfect, and he brought the Knicks back from the mire. Can get 9.5 assists, the most perfect organizational performance of his career.

This kind of Marbury can undoubtedly attract stars, and the Knicks are rich and willing to spend a lot of money to sign up. At least this year, the Knicks seem to be thriving, and the Knicks who are like a lump of mud as Liu Mang said Si is a completely different matter.

The Knicks seem to be very good at this stage. When the contracts of the veterans are finalized, the Knicks are uniting with many teams with junk contracts to apply to the league to formulate an amnesty clause in the summer that can lay off a player without taking up salary space. People think It was to get rid of Alan Houston's 100 million yuan contract, and the league also let go, saying that the bosses could vote on it in the summer, and there was no doubt that this would definitely pass.

It looks like the Knicks are thriving!

In this way, Liu Mang's remarks, in the eyes of many "experts and media", completely blocked his own way to play in New York.

In addition to blocking the way to play in the Knicks, Liu Mang's nasty interview, the person I hate the most is undoubtedly Marbury!

Marbury, who returned to New York to play, soon became the boss of the Knicks after Alan Houston was reimbursed, and he played very well, winning the praise of the Knicks players who have not made the playoffs for two years. trust.

Liu Mang fired at Marbury, and the Knicks players were excited!

In the warm-up before the game in the afternoon, issues such as character, hobbies, habits, etc., cannot explain the professionalism of a basketball player in basketball. Marbury has a lot of problems in other aspects, but in terms of his attitude towards basketball, it is true. is very professional.

Marbury has always been very active in warming up before the game and training in peacetime. Otherwise, even in the CBA, he would not be able to reach the age of 40. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult for foreign players to reach the age of 40 in the CBA than NBA role players.

Marbury was the first to arrive at the home team's practice facility at Madison Square Garden.

From the training ground alone, it can be seen that the Knicks are not as rich as the Lakers. The Lakers' training facilities are all on the street next to the Staples Center, and the Knicks' training facility is directly in Madison. In the square garden, let alone the Clippers, they change to a cheaper rented basketball stadium almost every year.

After the warm-up, Marbury called his teammates together and looked at these teammates. Although Alan Houston was reimbursed, which made Marbury a little sad, but now these teammates, plus the current record of the team, he is very satisfied , I am very optimistic about these teammates. This may be the first time he has led the team to the playoffs alone. He is full of hope for the situation in front of him.

After calling his teammates together, Marbury began to motivate his teammates...

...

On the other side, the team meeting before the pre-match warm-up on the Eagles' side is over, and the Eagles have deployed more defenses, and then warmed up normally.

The main thing in the pre-match meeting, the coaching staff asked the players not to relax too much, and to cheer up to deal with this game.

However, the members of the Eagles are not so good at listening, Liu Mang has already discovered this.

During the warm-up, the Eagles players were still very serious. No one would like to be injured, especially for a strong team like the Eagles. Not a good thing for many players who have established themselves.

Especially for Boozer and Kwame Brown, they just squeezed out Mohamed's position and sat on the team's first substitute. Now they have Ostertag, who is bigger than O'Neal, Coupled with the already strong Muhammad, both of them have a sense of crisis.

The pre-match warm-up was over, and the players were about to go to the player tunnel. Seeing that the teammates didn't seem to be serious, Liu Mang immediately called the teammates together.

The Eagles players really don’t pay much attention to the Knicks. A team with a winning percentage of less than 50% can be defeated casually in their opinion. Didn’t Liu Mang score 60 points last time he came here? Horrible performance, and Liu Mang's nonsense in the interview in the morning, his teammates are used to it, and they think it's just Liu Mang's habitual love to play.

As everyone knows, Liu Mang received a mission reminder in the afternoon!

"Crying in the Holy Land of Basketball: The host's rhetoric that the New York Knicks will become a ruined giant. The host needs to fulfill his rhetoric and make Madison Square Garden turn his back again in his own way. Task reward: King of Madison achievement, host Every time you come to Madison Square Garden to play an away game, it becomes a home game. Failure penalty: Every time the host plays against the New York Knicks at home, they lose home court advantage."

Liu Mang didn't understand the concept of losing home court advantage, but letting Madison Square Garden always face him and turn his back on him, this feeling, for a basketball player... is really attractive!

This is the place where the dream of every draft player entering the NBA begins. All stars will go all out when they come here, trying to make this most dreamy stage of basketball their home.

As for how to complete this task, how to become the king of Madison, Liu Mang looked at the mission description and had no idea at all.

Get a high score?

I have already scored 60 points here. New York fans are very picky. If someone else gets 40 or 50 points, the fans may still turn against them. But if Liu Mang has scored 60 points like this, even this time After scoring 50 points, the fans also feel that it is normal, and they will not be shocked to defect.

And let Liu Mang surpass 60 points... It is not impossible, but Liu Mang is reluctant to use the star card! It's a waste to play a Knicks star card.

Playing with normal strength, this game is very different from the last time the two teams played against each other. The last time Liu Mang didn’t do anything, he played normally, and the Knicks also played normally, but their boss was not normal. They were more than 20 points behind and still refused to surrender. , so that Liu Mang could play for a long time in the last quarter, and only managed to score 60 points. This time is different, and the opponent will definitely target him. Even if he uses the Iverson star card, Liu Mang does not think there is much chance for him to score again. high score.

So... how can I face the things I do by myself?

We are all brothers! Brothers should not all be in trouble together, blessed... Shouldn't all brothers be in trouble together?

"Brothers, tonight is our last regular season game at Madison Square Garden. Don't you want to have some fun?" Liu Mang activated the power of the head of state.

The teammates who had already been trained by Liu Wei as "fanatic teammates" were still chatting, but immediately looked at Liu Wei.

"Funny thing? Ace, what bad idea did you come up with?" Jason Terry likes funny things best.

"This is a great arena. I think we should leave a little mark here? I'm too boring to score alone, why don't we come together? Let's change the game today?"

"Change the game?"

"Yes, change the game..."

Liu Mang began to express some of his own small thoughts, which would make everyone very happy, and might also satisfy his small thoughts...

Coach Kruger came back from the bathroom and saw Liu Mang discussing things with his teammates with that weird smile again. He shook his head helplessly. Every time he went to a big city like Madison or Staples Center, When playing in the gymnasium of the team, this kid loves to play so much, let him go, anyway, there are only a few times a year...

The doctor prescribes medicine, infusion in the afternoon, my blood pressure is a bit high, I feel a little dizzy just after taking the medicine, take a nap, wake up in the morning and continue to update, young high blood pressure... Friends usually drink more boiled water, drink less Beverages, especially carbonated drinks, Xiaofeng is about to quit drinking.
