The facial cleanser episode between Li Zhen and Scarlett did not affect the progress of the game, and even Li Zhen failed to hit the basket when he risked the ball back.

Lacking scoring points inside the restricted area, the Lakers only need to target the perimeter defense.

And the Knicks don't have many points on the perimeter right now.

In a sense, under the championship-level defense, the Knicks, who have been winning streak this season, have finally exposed their shortcomings. Next, it can be expected that teams in the NBA will follow the Lakers' thinking and defend the Knicks in a similar way.

That's why the NBA is so exciting, every season and even every game, and whoever exposes the fewest flaws and discovers the more flaws in their opponents, the more wins they get: even more so in the playoffs.

118：92。

The Lakers stabbed the Knicks by 26 points.

The battle for the top spot in the East and West ended with the defending champions winning.

But it caused the tsunami in the Big Apple.

Knicks fans can accept losing to the Lakers, but they can't accept the fact that the team's scoring champion Zach Randolph is sitting on the bench, Randolph is averaging 28 points per game this season, and if those 28 points are counted, wouldn't the Knicks have to win by 2 points?

The media also jumped out to blame D'Antoni, criticizing him for putting his personal interests above the interests of the team, and that tactical differences could not be blocked by administrative force, which could only make relatives and enemies happy.

Even New York star Fraser jumped out and said publicly: "I don't think the run-and-gun tactics are very clever, and I don't see that the run-and-gun tactics played an important role in the previous winning streak." If I were the head coach, I would support the team's positional offensive model with Bruce and Randolph as the core of the inside and outside. ”

"Anyone who has watched the Knicks vs. the Hornets knows that Bruce's talent is unmatched, he's the smartest point guard of all time, and Jason Kidd is full of praise for him. And he can easily display all his tactics, why stifle his imagination and imprison him in the run-and-bomb system? ”

Fraser is a Knicks championship player and a point guard, even wearing the number 10 jersey before.

So, when he came out and said something like that, the pressure he created was enormous.

D'Antoni has suffered the biggest crisis of confidence since taking office.

For the first time, he was anxious about it.

He didn't expect a bastard like Zach Randolph to win the hearts of the people, and he began to realize that his previous laissez-faire strategy was wrong: if it wasn't for the previous laissez-faire, and even silently encouraged Randolph to brush the data, how could so many people jump out to support Randolph now.

Could it be that Isaiah Thomas is deceiving me?

On the plane back to New York, D'Antoni finally remembered Isaiah Thomas's previous remarks. This is a good explanation for why Isaiah Thomas is still standing still, and there are already many teams throwing olive branches. Although the Raptors are reluctant to give up Chris Bosh, Phoenix has loosened, and they just want more Jeffries, give it to them!

What's so stingy about this.

Isn't Stoudemire stronger than Randolph?

D'Antoni felt more and more flustered, and he realized that something not so good might be happening.

He decided to hurry to see James Dolan when he arrived in New York.

He wants to show his boss his idea of building a team, and even... He also wanted to pull Isaiah Thomas off the horse without doing anything, and let himself handle the trading himself. He felt that he could definitely do more than Isaiah Thomas, and that he was professional.

As D'Antoni leaned back in the front row and pondered how to describe his dreams and the bright future of the team to his boss.

Li really reclined in the back in his own leather chaise longue.

He found that Scarlett Johansson's leprechaun kept coming to his mind, especially the words she had said when she left tonight.

She even asked herself, whether she was soft or not, whether she could play or not.

Isn't this nonsense?

Of course, it's soft and elastic.

It's kind of fragrant.

Li Zhen briefly recalled the landing of the real airbag after saving the ball at that time.

"Do you want me to be your secret lover?"

Then, Scarlett Johansson actually said another earth-shattering sentence.

This... This...... Li Zhen was stunned.

The little fox can be regarded as a person who has eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, but who would have thought that this goddess, who is a chaste and fierce woman on TV and says that she is a model of a scumbag, would say such tiger and wolf words to herself in private.

It is no exaggeration to say that this contrast made the little devil in Li Zhen's heart emerge on the spot.

What a little goblin who doesn't worry or effort.

What made Lee feel psychedelic, on his way to the airport in front of him, he saw the bus TV showing an interview with Scarlett Johansson.

"I'm just a reflex."

She has regained her demeanor as a 'chaste martyr': "This is my personal cultivation, even if a pig flies over, I will reach out and catch it." ”

"I don't like this kind of tall, handsome and attractive man, this kind of man is usually very dangerous. Beautiful, voluptuous, yet hallucinogenic and addictive. ”

"What sets me apart from all other women is that I have the ability to make clear and independent judgments."

“……”

Scarlett Johansson's righteous words even made Jeffrees exclaim, and he began to believe Lee's explanation: Did you really not have anything to do with her? Are you really just running out of gas and spending the night at her house?

Li Zhen spread out his palms, yes, nothing really happened at that time.

However, according to the current trend, when will something really happen.

After all, Scarlett is the beast of the flood.

The Hollywood press soon branded Scarlett Johansson as a model for independent women in the new era, and Jessica Alba, who praised Lee Jin, became a negative template, being called 'a vase obsessed with beauty'.

But in fact, Jessica just praised on TV, she didn't launch a real action against Li Zhen, let alone breathe in Li Zhen's ears, and even deliberately tore Li Zhen's jersey away and threw it away, blowing a little faint fragrance into it.

Alas!

Li Zhen sighed heavily again on the plane.

The world is getting more and more ridiculous.

……

When D'Antoni returned to New York, he was interviewed directly at the airport, an interview that his team had scheduled in advance.

He decided to take action and put pressure on management.

"Now, I have to tell the Knicks fans. It's a multiple-choice question, Zach, or me. We can't coexist and I will never compromise and use a player who doesn't respect the manager. ”

D'Antoni threw down this sentence with a hard hand, and he showed that there was no room for manoeuvre.

Then, his team began to build various campaigns through the media.

While promoting D'Antoni's all-time achievements, he didn't forget to attack Randolph's two brawls this season, driving and watching movies, and all the that happened in Portland. Public opinion has repeatedly emphasized that it is really good to put such a villain in the Knicks locker room? He's doing well right now, but what if he relapses one day.

Such voices are disseminated through public opinion.

Many fans are really worried, because Randolph's history is indeed not clean, and everyone is inevitably worried that he will become what he used to be. In this way, it will really be the beginning of disaster.

D'Antoni is very satisfied with the effect of the public opinion he has created.

Then, in the afternoon of the same day, he knocked on James Dolan's door.

He was well prepared.

"I've been one of the best head coaches in the NBA for the past few years. I single-handedly lifted Phoenix from the bottom of the West to the top of the league and made the running run popular all over the league, Phoenix's attendance increased dramatically because of me, Stephen Nash won two regular-season MVPs with my help, and Stoudemire became an All-Star starter and was named to the All-Star team. ”

"I believe that when you invited me, you wanted me to do better in New York. In fact, we're off to a perfect start, exceeding everyone's expectations. And, the next step will be even better. ”

"This is the contrast between Stoudemire and Zach Randolph. Either way, it can be concluded that Stoudemire is the better player, and I had discussions with Stoudemire and his agent before I walked into your office. They would love to return to their hometown to play for the Knicks, and they would even put pressure on the Suns on a trade. ”

"This is my overnight comparison of Bruce Lee and Stoudemire's stat model, and I believe that a forward who is more powerful on the offensive end and has a higher assist-to-assist ratio can have more futuristic chemistry with Lee."

"This is my ideal list of players. We can trade Crawford and Nate Robinson for a better three-point shooter. Orlando has no reason to turn down our offer, they need a scorer at the No. 2 position. ”

"And Jeffries, Ramon Sessions, even Eddie Griffin, these can be traded."

D'Antoni said that everything was the way.

James Dolan had been nodding his head until he read Eddie Griffin's name, because D'Antoni had a point.

But actually want to trade Eddie Griffin?

Didn't he know about Griffin's relationship with Bruce?

He's a die-hard Bruce loyalist, and it's no wonder that Bruce doesn't go crazy if he trades him away.

So, he pursed his lips slightly.

to show dissatisfaction.

D'Antoni didn't realize this, and he continued to build his dream team, even going so far as to come up with the slogan of a three-year finals and a five-year championship.

This once again upset James Dolan. Because last night, Isaiah Thomas told him that he would win the championship in three years.

Thomas swears by his boldness.

He couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and he worshiped it intensely.

He was willing to trust every word Maas said.

He was a truly powerful man.

Every word he had said before came true.

Compared with D'Antoni's fanciful description, he misses the heroic man who 'doesn't make a splash' more and more.

"So, you're trying to go according to your plan? Have you consulted with Isaiah? James Dolan rubbed his eyebrows, he was honestly a little impatient.

However, D'Antoni suddenly raised his voice, and he said in an energetic tone, full of emotion: "This is the real purpose of my here." ”

"Mr. Dolan!"

"I want to be a general manager!"

"Only in this way can I build the team flawlessly, and only in this way can I make the team have an infinitely bright future."

"Trust me, I'll be able to take on this responsibility......"

The more D'Antoni spoke, the more agitated he became.

James Dolan stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling him not to go on. "You actually want to take Isaiah Thomas's place?"

What kind of green onion are you?

James Dolan's cultivation did not allow him to say the second half of the sentence.

This also made D'Antoni not clearly aware of the environment he was in.

He even said eloquently: "Yes, I think the position of general manager should be occupied by capable people." Thomas has certainly done a great job in his playing career, but with all due respect, what he has done when he entered management has been very poor. He was beaten in Toronto, and when he arrived at the Pacers, he was chased away. When he arrived in New York, do you think he did anything successful besides getting the Bruce Lee deal? He's gotten rid of two legendary coaches in a row, and now, he's on the verge of wanting to get rid of me......"

James Dolan didn't let D'Antoni, who was getting more and more emotional, continue.

Because, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up, pointed to the door with his right hand, and said calmly to D'Antoni, "You're fired." ”

Yes?

D'Antoni was dumbfounded, he was completely stunned.

How so.

He wasn't even sure he understood it.

James Dolan looked at him in confusion and repeated intimately: "I said, you were fired." We don't need a manager who wants to replace the general manager, and you're never going to be able to catch up with Isaiah. ”

"We'll pay you until the end of November. I have something else, goodbye! Bring the door shut. ”

James Dolan was extremely determined.

He did not give D'Antoni a chance to make a conclusion.

D'Antoni's eyes were instantly distracted, and he walked out of the office like a walking corpse, his mind full of question marks: Where did I lose?

Shortly after he walked out of James Dolan's office, Isaiah Thomas walked into James Dolan's office.

He didn't yet know about D'Antoni's dismissal, and he told Dolan: "I'll talk to Zach and D'Antoni separately in the afternoon......"

James Dolan looked at him with admiration in his eyes, and thought to himself: Isaiah is really kind. D'Antoni secretly wanted to replace him, and he actually wanted to repair the relationship between the generals and the coaches.

Alas!

D'Antoni is truly hateful.

A heroic man like Isaiah really doesn't understand the sinister heart of people, but fortunately, there is me.

"No need, I fired him."

James Dolan said in a gentle tone.

Yes?

Isaiah Thomas fell into shock.

He originally thought that he would talk to James Dolan first, talk to the two in the afternoon, and then report to Dolan in the evening, and say that the negotiations had broken down. Next, I hope that Dolan will promote D'Antoni to deputy general manager, and then find a random head coach to represent the team and make a smooth transition.

Who knows, now the boss actually fires people directly.

"And what about the coaching staff?" Isaiah Thomas asked.

"I believe in you." James Dolan looked at Li Zhen with extremely affirmative eyes, his eyes full of admiration.

Alas, here it is again.

Thomas was helpless.

But he did enjoy the adoration, and he puffed out his chest slightly: So, until the right head coach is found, let me take on this responsibility.

He said it impassionedly.

James Dolan applauded vigorously: "I really didn't misunderstand you, if the team didn't have you, I can't believe what it would become." ”

Forehead....

……

……

There's an update tonight. I've been driving all day during the day today, and I'm sorry to have dragged it on until now.

Also, I really want to thank you all last month. I never dreamed that in the last three days, it would increase by more than 4,300 votes. God, when I announced that I was grabbing a monthly pass, there were only 700 votes in total, ranking eleventh in the category, and my biggest dream was to get seventh, because seventh would be possible to get a monthly pass bonus. As a result, you helped me to the third, and the third had a prize of 2,500 yuan. I was so impressed.

This kind of touching makes me unable to actively code words in May, the cutest of you, I really can't bear to live up to it.

Finally, you can't avoid asking for a monthly pass, because it's still an unlimited double monthly pass!

Please, everyone!
