Chapter 223: 03 The Fantastic Journey of the Teenagers
After the big win over Houston, the Knicks quietly began their winning streak, the proud Knicks have participated in the locker room gambling game, the arrogant second half of the championship declaration engraved in everyone's hearts, the Knicks seem to not only enter the playoff mode in advance, but more like directly into the finals mode.
George Carr also knows the current state of the team, but he can't figure out whether this state is happy or good, which is like walking on a tightrope, once the Knicks are deflated, or too tight.
But the wood is already in the boat, and the Knicks themselves have pushed themselves to the limit, either becoming a god or going crazy.
Although the veteran coach is not very experienced in championships, and even has not a lot of experience in the finals, the veteran George Karl still has some unique insights of his own, minimizing the team's training volume, but the tactical course is not left behind at all.
As a result, in the eyes of the outside world, the Knicks are inevitably a little arrogant now, and all kinds of negative news have also exploded.
Of course, these things are still very new to young people who have just joined the league, and the banana boat is not yet in shape at this time, but it can be regarded as a sympathy for each other, such as now, James, the son of Akron, came to New York again after the draft.
This season's James has been in the No. 1 position for a lot of time in the Cavaliers, and the template was once considered a large version of Kidd, and the Cavaliers' performance this season is also acceptable, after getting the top pick, the team has really changed a lot, from the Eastern Fish belly team to one of the Eastern Conference playoffs in one fell swoop, and this season is competing with the Celtics for the eighth spot.
However, if they do enter the playoffs, then they will face the New York Knicks in the first round.
At this moment, Anthony and James are walking on the streets of New York, as a veritable head snake, Anthony of course has to arrange his brother well, and this time also happens to catch up with the gap in the Heat's schedule, so the three Banana Boat brothers met to start their New York tour, and the first two to meet Wade together.
Anthony is a few years older than James, but the friendship between the two was formed in high school, according to the original historical trend, Anthony's performance this season and James should be on par, or even a few points higher, but now, Anthony has come to New York, and New York is currently a real talent pool, even Anthony, can only mix up the playing time in his early twenties per game, and the data is a big drop compared to the original history.
However, compared to history, Anthony may be stronger now, not only can he practice with Sprewell every day in New York, but Mo Xi simply teaches Anthony his back skills bit by bit, and the real offensive kaleidoscope in this modern forward seems to be at a higher stage in the initial stage.
James and Anthony chatted along the way, and as rookies in the same class, they naturally had endless complaints about their "team bosses".
"Let me tell you, in our team, that one, the captain of Houston, don't look like a gentleman in front of people, it's actually a sullen man, Balabala"
"And Williams, that's a real Sven scum, I saw him sneaking in the toilet last time, and hehehehe......"
"And then the one who, Sprewell, don't be fooled by his name and appearance, this person is actually a batch of oil, just like last ......"
Anthony drooled and unscrupulously judged the "old men" in the team, James listened with interest, what Anthony said was something he had not experienced, although rookies came to the team to be properly baggy brothers, but in the Cleveland Cavaliers who were waiting to be rebuilt, there were a few people who dared to treat James as a bag boy, and those who dared to do so were long gone.
James' eyes rolled, and he didn't intend to interrupt Anthony's rambling, this was a great opportunity to spy on the enemy and sow discord.
"And our boss, that guy Mo is simply an ascetic, training endlessly, the scary thing is that such a guy actually has such a beautiful and gentle girlfriend, but, but, but only a self-disciplined basketball player like this is worthy of victory, and can have a championship, that is, such a person, can be called the king of New York."
James silently took off his sunglasses, this guy, does he have eyes in the back of his head?
"I'm sure you know that this guy likes to spend time at the mercury lamp café when he's fine, right?"
Anthony quickly turned around, put on a flattering smile, and said, "Big brother, why are you here, I always thought that if I wanted to find you, I just had to go to the training gym." ”
Behind Anthony was Mo Xi with Ding Xiaoyou, taking advantage of the rare rest, Mo Xi rarely chose to practice, but came out with Ding Xiaowu to relax.
Since Mo Xi won the first championship, the time spent together by the two has been greatly reduced, and the championship seems to have inexplicably become a drug, an addictive drug.
Mo Xi hesitated for a moment, quietly glanced at Ding Xiaowei, Ding Xiaowu glanced back at him, Mo Xi smiled faintly, and said, "Come on, I'll invite you to coffee, after all, you are still young, hahaha." ”
Anthony and James are very ashamed, I can't drink alcohol before I am twenty-one, can't I drink milk!
The four of them were very quiet after they sat down, Mo Xi and Ding Xiaowei were by nature, Anthony was naturally optimistic, but he was just caught by his own boss, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what to say.
James, on the other hand, looked at Mo Xi in a daze and didn't speak.
Young James is proud, worthy of "the chosen one", even though he is still very young, but the sun-like temperament that involuntarily surrounds him has already begun. is such a person, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a teenager now, his eyes are full of enthusiasm and longing.
Mo Xi completely understood the meaning in James's eyes, because back then, he also saw O'Neal like this.
"Is coffee good in New York?" ”
LeBron was stunned for a while, only then did he realize that Mo Xi was looking at himself and asked, raised his head to look at Mo Xi's brown eyes, and replied hastily and shyly: "Ah, yes, very good." ”
Mo Xi asked directly, "Do you want to defeat me?" ”
James said, "Of course. No one doesn't want to beat you. ”
Mo Xi continued, "Then do you remember the last time we defeated you? ”
James was speechless for a moment. The last time the Cavaliers played was at home in Cleveland, and James played well in that game, 24+5+9, which can be described as star-level data, but the Cavaliers lost to the Knicks with a score of 79:104. Mo Xi didn't even use his full strength in this game, only played 30 minutes before going off the game, and gave a lot of time to this game to the pair of supernovas in '03, of course, Anthony's status is only as a potential rookie, but being in New York still adds a lot of points to him.
But now ask James where they lost, which makes him a little unable to answer, how can I answer you, your teammates are too strong, or we all change to the same teammates to fight.
Mo Xi silently opened his belly black character, glanced at Anthony without a trace, and continued: "You have to remember that basketball is not a one-person sport, you also have to rely on your teammates, pass the ball to your teammates more, pay attention to their positions, drive their enthusiasm, of course, the premise of all this is that your teammates are trustworthy." ”
James silently remembered in his heart, pass the ball more, drive his teammates, and rely more on his teammates, huh?
James looked at Mo Xi suspiciously, and said, "Shouldn't it be a person carrying the team forward?" Didn't you do that before? ”
Mo Xi shook his head and said, "No, if you look closely at those games, you will find that in fact, New York's lineup is much stronger than Los Angeles's. ”
Looking at James's somewhat awkward face, Mo Xi continued: "Good teammates can bring a lot of changes, such as victory, and New York is such a team. ”
James suddenly realized and said, "Haha, it turns out that you are trying to recruit me." It's impossible. ”
Mo Xi shook his head and said, "No, you don't have a chance to come to New York, because New York is my team, and you will definitely not be able to do my level when you come to New York." ”
Looking at James's somewhat indignant expression, Mo Xi said again: "Besides, I think you can't leave Cleveland in seven years, I have to leave, don't disturb your two-person world, of course, you are not allowed to disturb me." After Mo Xi finished speaking, he pulled Ding Xiaowu and left, leaving James with a serious face and Anthony with a forced face.
Ding Xiaowu silently took out a book from Mo Xi's handbag and asked, "How to get along with adolescent teenagers"? How have you been looking at this kind of stuff lately? ”
Mo Xi said: "I took the wrong book, but I didn't expect to use it today." ”
Ding Xiaowu silently stroked his forehead and said, "Abducting minors in the United States is punishable. ”
Mo Xi said innocently: "I never said that he would come to New York." ”
And at this time, Anthony silently shed tears in his heart, boss, didn't you say that after a hundred years, your seat will be seated by me? Why do you want to pull someone who is about my age and has a position?
Just when Anthony felt sorry for himself, James picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all, frowned and said to Anthony: "Mero, have we forgotten something?" ”
Anthony touched his green cheeks, pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a little impressed, but why is there always a big cheek in my head?" ”
