Chapter 629 [Plan]
George Carr congratulated the Knicks and praised the fighting spirit of his players, who had a chance to win, but were just a little bit of luck.
Zhou Xuan said in an interview: "It was a tough game, the fans have always supported us enthusiastically, this is the motivation for us to win, thank them." ”
The reporter asked: "You scored high again, are you going to change your style?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "When the team needs me to stand up and score, I won't be stingy." ”
This year, Stoudamire is in a slump, and D'Antoni's tactics are all arranged for Zhou Xuan, forcing him to take on more offensive responsibilities, for which he has not averaged double-doubles in assists per game. I was more tired than before, but I felt more fulfilling.
After the press conference, Zhou Xuan returned home. Parents chatting with Chlo Moretz.
Martha said, "Grace is ready to celebrate the New Year with us. ”
Chloe also said to Zhou Xuan in English: "Mary and Taiwo have something to do together, it's not appropriate for me to go to their apartment to live." So...... You're okay with that, right? ”
"Of course you're welcome." Zhou Xuan threw his backpack aside.
New Year's Day is a time for family reunions, and Chloe probably thinks that Thanksgiving and Christmas together, this can also be done.
Zhou Xuan said: "There is a march of the Chinese community tomorrow morning, and I have to go to bed early tonight, so I can't watch movies or play games with you." ”
"I know that I will be with me tomorrow morning."
"Well, but you'll have to keep up with me."
He told his parents that he would participate in the New Year's parade, and people would gather in Times Square to celebrate, and the New Year's atmosphere was very enthusiastic, and fireworks could be set off everywhere.
They went out early the next morning, changed into Tang clothes, and brought hats. Zhou Xuan thought that Martha had already planned to let Kolo celebrate the New Year together, and they went shopping, and even bought clothes. Watching Masha give Chloe a scarf, if it weren't for the difference in hair color and skin color, it would really look like a family.
Martha is an alternative mother, everyone likes her son, she feels like she can inherit everything in the family, and she prefers girls when she is younger. And because she teaches English, she has an indescribable love for foreign girls, so after meeting Koloe, the two have a very good relationship.
When I arrived near Times Square, the family found that it was too simple, crowded with people, if you go in, you are afraid that you can't get out, and there is no place to go to the toilet, which is far from the holiday atmosphere in San Francisco. After a few glances, they decided to change their plans, go shopping in the mall, and then go home for dinner and watch the Spring Festival Gala through the Internet.
Zhou Xuan and Kolo were in charge of cooking, and Zhou Gaozhuo and Martha watched TV and chatted together.
Martha turned her head to look in the direction of the kitchen from time to time, and said with a smile: "I don't know how her skills are, it's not easy for celebrities to learn to cook." However, Xiao Yu is a regular chef, and it doesn't matter if she can't cook if she marries a wife. ”
Zhou Gaozhuo whispered: "I know that you like this child, but I don't know what they think, don't mix it up." ”
"Let's ask him directly, Grace is a few years older and would definitely want to be his girlfriend." Martha said.
"Where's Emma?" Zhou Gaozhuo is a real person, he doesn't talk much, but he is not wooden.
"Forget it, let it be." Martha sighed.
Zhou Gaozhuo nodded and said: "Well, they are a pair that the whole world envies, if they are separated, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." However, they really see each other very rarely, and it is very troublesome to get married in the future. ”
At this time, Zhou Xuan came out with a dish and asked, "What are you talking about mysteriously, and you are still so careful." ”
"Let's talk about your business, but you can do it yourself. Your mother and I are too earthy to understand anything in the United States. Zhou Gaozhuo said lightly.
"You are wearing a famous brand now, is it appropriate to use the word local tyrant?"
"We're all ordinary people anyway." Zhou Gaozhuo put it another way.
"Who said that? The whole world knows that you are a model husband and wife, and you are the best at educating children. If my mother wants, I guess the National Education Bureau wants to invite her to work. Dad, you are even more powerful, people know that I learned my cooking skills from you, and you are at least at the national level. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"You're getting more and more capable of, kid." Zhou Gaozhuo said with a smile.
Putting down the plate, Zhou Xuan went back to the kitchen to cook.
"He's changed a lot." Martha glanced into the kitchen and smiled.
"Yes, there are no subtitles on TV, or English subtitles, he can still watch it very energetically, we can't understand it." Zhou Gaozhuo smiled bitterly.
Both of them discovered some changes in Zhou Xuan, even if they were chatting with Kolo, they didn't stop moving their hands, and they could do the dishes well with two minds, which was amazing.
They knew that Zhou Xuan didn't have this brain before, and he didn't learn things quickly, but he didn't change until he arrived in the United States. They suspected that Zhou Xuan had encountered something special, but Zhou Xuan didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask.
Make five dishes and one soup, among which there is a yellow stewed chicken made by Kolo. The four of them ate together, for the sake of Kolo, Masha also spoke English, and Zhou Gaozhuo didn't speak much.
In the evening, Zhou Xuan drove Kolo back to Taiwo's apartment. She is now a big girl, and it is not suitable to live in Zhou Xuan's house, so the four eldest brothers asked her to live with Taiwo.
When he was about to arrive, Kolo said, "Thank you, thank you, I've been very happy for the past two days." ”
"Me too."
"Will I be able to celebrate the New Year with you next year?"
"Yes." Zhou Xuan said. Even if Emma came back from England, he thought it would be okay. He didn't think much about the rest, and it was useless to think too much.
"Next year is 2012, don't forget our agreement."
"Let's spend the end of the world together, right? I remember. I don't know if there was a game that day. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"You tell David Stern that they can just play the Lakers or not play on the two days when they schedule the schedule." Chloe said.
"Can I talk to Stern?"
"Didn't the news say you were his godson?" Chloe laughed.
“……”
Sending Kolo away, Zhou Xuan went home to watch sports news, and today he made headlines again, and there were many comments on the Internet.
The most discussed among Chinese fans is the hope that Zhou Xuan can compete for the scoring title this season. Zhou Xuan often reads comments, although some people will hack him brainlessly, but there are also some real fans who will put forward benign suggestions, saying that his shortcomings are that they hope that he will become better. I hope he wins the scoring title, and it's for his good.
As a star, in addition to winning, you also need personal honors. A scoring champion will allow Zhou Xuan to have more fans, and it can prove that he is tough, both scoring and assisting teammates.
James has always considered himself a team player, but he has always had the most shots on the team, the highest possession, and has won the scoring title once. And then without James speaking his own, his fans will also say, "If I want to be Jan, I can win the scoring title every year." "Obviously, it's impossible, but a lot of people want to believe it, because he took it.
It's been a shrinking season, and it's relatively easy to win the scoring title. Do you want to fight? Zhou Xuan was tempted. If he wins the assist title and then the scoring title, it is a great record, and when he retires in the future, it will be easier for fans to remember him. In this case, it is necessary to change the style of play appropriately, and we have to discuss it with D'Antoni. It's important to run in the team, and if the coaching staff thinks it's going to be bad for the team, he won't do it.
The next day, Zhou Xuan called D'Antoni and exchanged New Year's greetings.
Zhou Xuan said: "Mike, I have an idea that I don't know if I should implement it, you can give me some advice." I want to win the scoring title this season, do you think it's possible? ”
"Fight, haven't I always given you unlimited rights? I'm optimistic that you can do it. D'Antoni immediately agreed, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much about the ball, you will trade Amare out of the middle of the season, and you are the first scorer in the team." ”
"It's already decided?" Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment. He has always felt that Jr. to the Knicks and D'Antoni are related, the two have a good relationship, and the biggest obstacle to the trade is the head coach.
'It has to be traded, Amare is not aggressive and the defense is not good enough. Chris talked to me a lot, and I can't protect him anymore. He can still play this year, but the contract is too long. We all thought he was past his prime, and if he got injured again, he would probably be in trouble. D'Antoni sighed. He likes Xiao Si, but he wants a championship and a dynasty.
Woodson and Malone are both head coaches who focus on defense, and Mullin doesn't believe that he can win championships by attacking alone, as he exemplifies when he was younger. Having someone in the team to attack and a blue-collar team to defend is the best configuration. Last season, they were extremely sharp on offense, ranking first in Knicks history, but the worst loss was to the Mavericks' joint defense. The Mavericks are mainly attacking three people, plus Baria is only four, which is a stark contrast.
Spurs are also a good example. They have always focused on the "GDP" combination, even if they bring in an offensive player like Jefferson, they have to share the ball and focus on defense. Now they're trading again, in exchange for outside blue-collar Bamot, and it's all targeted.
Another important point for the Knicks is the contract extensions of Gallinari and Anderson. If Smalls is traded to free up salary space, he can re-sign an important role player on the team next season.
In D'Antoni's system, these two are very important, and the big man who can shoot three-pointers is too easy to use, and pulling out the big man can create a single opportunity for Zhou Xuan. If they are gone, it will be difficult to attack in the future.
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Since this is the case, I'll make more shots, if you feel bad, adjust your tactics at any time, tell me, and I will change it immediately." ”
D'Antoni said: "Be bold and I'd love to be someone who has won both scoring and assists. ”
There are only four such people in total, Chamberlain has 7 scoring titles and 2 assist titles, Oscar has 1 scoring title and 5 assist titles, West has 1 scoring title and 1 assist title, and Archibald has 1 scoring title and 1 assist title.
One of the most amazing is Archibald, nicknamed "Little Things". He is the only player in NBA history to win both scoring and assists in a single season. In the 1972-1973 season, he averaged 34 points and 11 points per game. 4 assists.
Zhou Xuan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and was full of energy. He wants to be a legend!
