Chapter 61: New York Prison

On November 6, 2011, Eastern time, the sky over New York, which had been gloomy for several days, finally cleared, but the good weather did not ease the tension before the big game much, New York fans were still nervously preparing for the San Antonio Spurs, and on the other side of San Antonio, the Spurs players also walked up the spiral stairs of the plane with a nervous mood and began their hellish journey that they will never forget.

Every time I went out in the past, although the atmosphere of the Spurs was also quite dull, there was no shortage of laughter along the way, especially the cheerful Ginobili and Parker, these two people always have endless topics, even the stuffy Duncan will insert two sentences in key places from time to time, so that people can feel the charm of his psychologist.

But today the situation is completely different, the atmosphere in the cabin, oppressive makes the Spurs players feel a little difficult to breathe, everyone sits in their positions without saying a word, looking preoccupied, especially the Argentine Ginobili, he has learned from the media, reporters about the situation in New York City today, he can hardly imagine what crazy New York fans will do to them.

The moment the San Antonio players landed in the Big Apple, they felt first-hand how terrible the city had become, New York had been described as a paradise in the past, but now the door to this paradise has been closed to the Spurs players, and they are greeted only by hell.

"Welcome to New York Prison No. 1, San Antonio kidnaps criminals, scumbags the championship scumbag"

In order to welcome the Spurs, the fans in New York really took great pains, and as soon as the plane landed, they saw this big banner hanging on the opposite airport command building, and the hearts of the Spurs players were immediately clouded.

"We really should suggest that the league put this game in a neutral stadium, it's just too dangerous here" Before he got off the plane, Ginobili's heart began to feel a little uneasy, he didn't want to be left here by the New York fans who lost their minds because of a game, after all, it was a big football country from South America, what would those crazy fans do, he knew very well, "Who knows what crazy things those New Yorkers will do, look at what they describe their cities as?" Prison damn it, do they really think we're a bunch of damn criminals?"

Duncan, who was a little troubled by Ginobili's nonsense, finally couldn't help but speak: "Be quiet, Manu, your nerves are really a little allergic, what will happen, what do you think will happen, don't scare yourself here"

At this time, the flight attendant told him that he could get off the plane, and Duncan was the first to stand up, and then Parker also got up, looked back at Ginobili, and said, "Manu, if you're scared, stay here, we're going down."

Parker's unintentional taunt made Ginobili blush, and muttered quietly, he also followed the team down the spiral staircase: "Damn, I'm not afraid of those New Yorkers, they don't dare to do anything to me, this is a society under the rule of law"

It's true that it's a society governed by the rule of law, but it's New Yorkers' territory, and it's now known as the bandit's nest

The Spurs got off the plane with a nervous look on their faces, and went through the security check, not a single of the crazy New York fans they had expected showed up, there was no overwhelming debris attack, no tsunami-like cursing and boos, and everywhere they went, it seemed very quiet, just a little unusually.

"Did they give up on their big plans, or did they want to teach us a lesson, but they were stopped by the police," Ginobili looked out of the window from time to time as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Duncan sat expressionless the whole time, he didn't want to be as naïve as Ginobili, the fans in New York have always been extremely crazy, they did everything for the team, although he didn't admit that the Spurs had anything to do with the kidnapping, and he didn't agree to compare this game to a revenge battle, but the game hadn't started yet, and he could already imagine the level of tragedy. In a situation like the present, the calmer the calm, the heavier the uneasiness in his heart became.

Until the bus felt the Madison Square Garden Arena, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and even Duncan was a little suspicious of his suspicions, maybe the New Yorkers really gave up on their so-called plans?

After a simple warm-up exercise in the Knicks' training hall, Pokovic took Duncan with him to the pre-game press conference.

By the time they arrived at the press conference, Knicks head coaches Thomas and Keller were already waiting on the spot. Seeing Po*vic and Duncan come in, there was something strange in their eyes.

Seeing Thomas and Keller's expressions, Duncan's heart became nervous for no reason, and after they sat down, the host of the scene announced the start of the press conference.

A local reporter in New York stood up first, this is the home advantage, the reporter looked at the representative of the Spurs with an indifferent face, and by looking at his expression, he knew that he was an authentic Knicks fan, to put it simply, he and the media he represented were the mouthpieces of the Knicks.

"Mr. Po*vic, what do you think of the pre-game claim that the New York fans said it was a revenge fight?"

When Po*vic heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy: "I don't understand what you're talking about? revenge war? I don't understand what revenge war is, this is just an ordinary regular season, it's all because someone is constantly inciting the emotions of the fans behind the scenes, beating the hatred of the fans, if the fans in New York still think that there is really any hatred between the Knicks and the Spurs, it is just their thoughts"

"But what happened in the Finals last season, you shouldn't forget, right? The whole world knows that the Spurs stole the Knicks' championship, and if Keller could play normally at that time, you wouldn't be the Knicks' opponent at all."

Po*vic sneered and said: "That's just what you think, can you steal a championship can also steal? This is really an ignorant idea that the Spurs won the championship above board, we defeated a strong opponent through the battle on the court, and finally won the championship, as for Keller Korver, he can't play, it's his personal matter and has nothing to do with the Spurs' championship, if the Knicks feel unconvinced by the loss, they can challenge us again, we are willing to give them this chance"

"Very good" Keller didn't wait for the reporter to ask, he took the initiative to grab the microphone in front of him, and said with a gloomy face, "I am very grateful to Coach Po*vic for being willing to give us this opportunity, as he said, there is no point in discussing last season's things, since he wants us to be the first to stand up and test their championship performance, we are happy to fulfill his wish!"

Keller stood up on his own, turned and walked out of the venue, and the reporters who had already received satisfactory answers did not stop him.

When he returned to the locker room, Keller saw that his teammates were ready, and they were all waiting for the game to start with excitement on their faces, Keller smiled, walked to his locker, and quickly took care of his equipment.

At this time, Thomas also came in, and he still had a serious face when he entered the door, but as soon as the door closed, he couldn't help but laugh evilly: "Keller, you should really feel sorry, I've never seen that old guy Po*vic so embarrassed, those reporters are going to drive him crazy"

Keller put on his bracers, clenched his fists hard, and said with an awe-inspiring gaze: "I hope that when we are on the field in a while, we can use our strength to drive Po*vic crazy"

"I'm looking forward to seeing the Spurs' faces when they see the entertainment that the fans have in store for them," Howard smirked, like a naughty child

"I'm looking forward to it too"

Saying that, Keller walked to the center of the locker room again, looking at the excited expressions of his teammates, feeling surrounded by a group of beasts that were about to come out of the cage, Keller knew that he didn't need to do any pre-war mobilization today, facing the Spurs as an opponent, even if he didn't say anything, his teammates would treat it with 100% spirit.

"Okay guys, I don't want to say anything superfluous, let's use the victory to show everyone how much water the Spurs won last season"

When the Spurs players came to the players' tunnel, they understood how ridiculous their previous ideas were, and why the big banner at the airport described the Madison Square Garden arena as a prison, and the fans in New York really spared no expense to welcome them, and the more than 20,000 fans in the stadium actually wore the uniforms of prison guards neatly, and the expressions on their faces were as serious as bronze statues. Everywhere in the stands, you can see photos of Spurs players that fans have photoshopped, but all the Spurs players in the photos have been artificially changed into mortal zebra suits.

"What the hell are these guys trying to do?"
