Chapter 421 The Knicks Are Coming

The Mavericks scored a miraculous 69-point lead in the first game of the new season, and the second game naturally attracted more attention than the first, because this time they faced the Knicks, the strong Eastern Conference team led by Ewing.

The Mavericks' new lineup is still relatively comprehensive, but the Knicks are a veteran team, and the lineup has not changed much compared to before. Running-in has never been their problem. On the contrary, the Mavericks have encountered the true number one. challenge.

…

In the locker room before the game, Gordon was making final arrangements, and while waiting to go on the court, Li Shengli pulled Garnett aside and gave one final instruction, "Kevin, you'll be on the court in a moment. Although your debut performance was perfect, That's because the Grizzlies are too weak, and the Knicks are very different today, so remember to be careful."

"Hey, I'm not that easy to deal with." Garnett seemed a little excited, because Kidd and Curry had played with him all day, and the development of this relationship gave him a sense of recognition. It feels like, "Brother, don't worry. It's not like I've never played before. I know how to deal with anything, so don't worry about me."

"That's good!" Li Shengli nodded, but still said, "Anyway, remember, you don't need to worry about the inside. On the offensive end, go outside and take quick shots. Don't hang around Oakley for too long. As for defense... If you can't stop Oakley, let him go inside, don't let him in the mid-range shot, you just have to do a good job of assist defense."

Originally, there was no need for Li Shengli to say so much, but he really couldn't hold it in. Kidd and Curry, who were on the side, both disliked Li Shengli for making a fuss and pulled Garnett aside again.

"Lee, we're about to play. Why are you scaring Kevin?" Kidd curled his lips.

"That's right, you were not like this before." Curry was not idle and complained.

"What was I like before?"

"You don't know?" Kidd pretended to be surprised, "Shit, you used to wish that the management would give us a tough guy at the fourth position, but why are you trying to scare Kevin now? It's not that serious. Woolen cloth!"

Hardliner?

Isn't that the past? If the current Garnett is cultivated into a complete body, he will definitely be more effective than the traditional hard-liner. In the end, Li Shengli still wants to pass on the experience he saw from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and even Malone to Garnett. .

But... think about it carefully, people have to take some detours to grow, and the same goes for Garnett. Too much interference may have negative effects.

After figuring this out, Li Shengli didn't dwell on this matter.

…

The attendance rate of the first home game was about 70%, but this time the 20,000-seat home court was already full. This improvement cannot be said to be entirely due to the miraculous score difference in the first game, but it still boosted the morale of Dallas fans to a large extent. Compared with usual, the improvement is huge.

So amidst boiling cheers, both sides of the game appeared on the stage. After a long offseason, Li Shengli had not seen Ewing and Oakley for a long time, but this did not affect the warm condolences between them.

"Oh, Lee, have you been having a good time recently? You played great against the Grizzlies a few days ago, but you can only increase your confidence by playing against teams like the Grizzlies. You are still the same, and so are you Mavericks. Same, waste... too much." When they first met, Oakley sneered.

To be honest, Li Shengli would not be so mocking in the Jazz. After all, he knew the consequences of irritating Malone. But the Mavericks are different now. They cannot compare with the Knicks, who have always occupied the top three seats in the Eastern Conference.

"Haha, Oakley, you're still the same, you're still such a nuisance and a waste." Li Shengli sneered.

"Really? It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want, but the Mavericks still gathered a bunch of trash." Oakley snorted and cast his eyes on Garnett for the first time. "Oh, God, look at it. Our kid, are you a malnourished monkey? Hahaha!"

Malnourished monkey?

Garnett's figure is a little thinner, but that is relative to the NBA environment. In fact, he is not as skinny as Sean Bradley, who is 2.29 meters tall. Oakley took the lead. , Garnett was not timid at all, "Your mother is malnourished!"

Damn it, you greet the other person’s mother cordially when you come up?

Li Shengli was amused, and Oakley's face turned green. "Boy, I advise you to keep your mouth clean. You are not Li, and your boss didn't say this. How can you, a newcomer, have the courage? I have ten thousand ways." I’ll make you leave the alliance in despair, believe me, I’m serious.”

"Your mother must be malnourished!" Garnett refused to accept Oakley's words at all and refused to be led by his opponent. This was the essence of the war of words, and he continued with the previous sentence: "I sympathize with you, and I also I sympathize with your mother, if it weren’t for the malnutrition when you were born, she wouldn’t have given birth to a mentally retarded fool, don’t you think so?”

Swearing around the corner?

Oakley didn't expect that when he came up, he would be sprayed with blood by a newcomer. He was so angry that he was about to rush up to him, but Ewing on the side pulled him back and said, "Ignore this kid. If you need anything, come to the court later." Tell him how to respect his seniors."

"Bah, have you been asked to speak? Are you interrupting here? Senior, you don't even look at your own level. Which of the honors that our boss has received? You said it as if you are very powerful. Why don't you go? Take one, regular season MVP, finals MVP, championship, scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shots champion, you have a shit!" Garnett fired up and exploded, while Ewing gasped. Not out of breath...

Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings!

However, Garnett has done almost everything. Just as he said, Ewing cannot catch up with other super centers. The biggest manifestation is that there is nothing to say in terms of personal honor. There is dominance, but the problem is When facing opponents of the same level... you can't get great honors.

anger!

Uncontrollable anger!

Although Ewing and Oakley are veterans and have rich experience in verbal wars, they are not angry when being criticized like this by Li Shengli, but Garnett is nothing in their eyes. How can they endure being criticized by a rookie kid? Especially in front of all his teammates?

"You son of a bitch."

"Who do you think you are? It's your turn to talk trash here."

The two of them had brain congestion and wanted to fuck Garnett. Although the game hadn't started yet, the insult was really serious. Li Shengli was enjoying it and took a step forward to stand in front of Garnett, re-building cohesion. None of the Mavericks were timid. Kidd and Curry and their people surrounded Garnett to protect their main force of trash talk.

"Are you stupid? Two old bastards!"

"What are you looking at? If you look at me again, I will scold you like this!"

"You are still fighting at such an old age. Are you mentally deficient?"

"Listen carefully, if you dare to move, my boss will definitely kill you!"

"What are you waiting for? Come on, come and hit me. You don't have the guts, why are you pretending to be old hooligans, you idiots."

Garnett smeared honey on his mouth, and Barabara squirted wildly, while the Knicks quickly pulled Ewing and Oakley away for fear that the situation would escalate.

"You're dead today, you're dead, you damn brat!" Ewing's face turned red.

"You son of a bitch, do you really think Li can protect you? You'd better be careful, arrogant people don't live long." Oakley also looked extremely ugly.

…

You two are such idiots and you are threatening Garnett. Do you really think I don’t exist?

Listening to Ewing and Oakley threatening Garnett, Li Shengli frowned, "Are you done? Get out of here when you're done. I don't dare to hit you, I can't scold you, but I can't help but stay here and wait for me to shake hands with you?" "

"Hmph, don't be too happy, Li. It seems that this kid will be your helper in the new season, but you have to ask him to be careful. I'm afraid he won't be able to help you before he can!" Ewing said with a cold face. One sentence.

Pay it back endlessly?

Li Shengli was annoyed by this kind of scene. He led the team on the field to warm up. Before leaving, he said, "How about touching him? Maybe someone has forgotten... I am not a good person either!"

"Okay...you have the guts!" Ewing also led the team away.

…

The meeting between the two sides broke up unhappily, sparks flew everywhere, and the entire atmosphere at the Mavericks' home court was ignited, giving the visiting team the Knicks hysterical boos. Until the start of the game, there were only highs and no lows, and Li Shengli didn't say anything else, because the direction of the situation was not directed by Garnett. Oakley took the lead and Ewing's attitude proved the will of the Knicks team.

It's just... it's been silent for too long, and maybe some people have really forgotten that I, Li Shengli, am really not a good person!
