Chapter 220: The Yellow Derby

The winning streak is the biggest measure for a team in the regular season, but at the same time, the winning streak is also the most testing place for a team, the longer the winning streak, the greater the deterrent, not only for the opponent, but also for yourself, eager to win, worried about failure, lack of heritage of the team even if it is upgraded to a super team, under such a weight is inexplicably destroyed countless countless.

However, the New York Knicks are definitely not such a team, this is one of the strongest teams in the entire league, and if it weren't for the team's poor historical record, with New York's transcendent status, one of them would probably be removed. New York is now on a good pace, before the All-Star break, the Knicks have lost ten games, but each time it is after a wave of small streaks, only to lose a game with a little difficulty, except for the beginning of the season that is a heart-wrenching streak, the Knicks really haven't had a particularly long streak, but it seems that after the All-Star break, everything is different.

Of course, it's mostly someone doing things in the Knicks' locker room.

There aren't many thorns in the Knicks' locker room, but most of them are jumping, and jumping and jumping, something unexpected can happen, like this one.

After the All-Star ended, many people in the Knicks team went around the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game of Mercy and Jason Williams, the rookie game between Arenas and Anthony, and after coming back, the Knicks did not adjust themselves, and they lost to the Pistons in the first game after coming back, and this is also a rare game in which the Knicks have scored less than 100. That is, after this game, Arenas, who played very badly, said with a little annoyance and a little anger:

"I hate losing, and I don't want to lose a game in the next game!"

The childlike words sent a burst of laughter in the locker room, or rather, three seconds of laughter.

Because three seconds later, someone replied:

"Okay."

This voice is a little small, and it may be difficult to hear it if you don't pay close attention in the slightly lively dressing room, and this voice seems to be slightly gentle, so that when you listen to it, you can't help but sketch the appearance of a polite scholar in your heart.

But in such a locker room full of "tough guys", this seemingly weak voice suppressed everything.

Mo Xi was never a qualified locker room leader, and he rarely even made his voice heard in the locker room, but there was one point that when Mo Xi spoke, the whole locker room would be quiet and listen to him.

"Sounds interesting, I'm going to press ten dollars," a cheerful voice rang out, and Sprewell said bare-chested, waving a towel, "Beat us to win the rest of the games." ”

"I'm with it too"

"I'm with it too"

。。。

"Hey, hey, who's going to sit in the bank?" Anthony, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, also came up.

Immediately, a few old fellows turned their guns and aimed them at Anthony.

"Of course it's you!"

Anthony looked desperate.

Fortunately, at this time, Mo Xi saved him, Mo Xi said: "If you win, just this money, you don't need to add it, we donate it to a certain parish in Brooklyn" Mo Xi continued with a change of voice, "But if you lose, the money will be returned as it is, and it will never be spent." ”

The locker room was silent again, but after less than two seconds, Houston pulled out a pencil, wrote his name on a ten-dollar sheet, found a small cardboard box, put the money in it, placed the box on his desk, and said, "That's it." ”

Suddenly, the entire locker room began to move.

At this time, Arenas suddenly asked, "How many games do we have left?" ”

"Twenty-seven, I'll count that!" Witherspoon replied without raising his head.

"No, it's 43." Sprewell is back in the style of a madman.

"That's right, it's 43." Mo Xi nodded, but to his surprise, this was actually calculated by Sprewell.

four-four-four-four

After the first round of the playoffs, there has never been a team that has really swept the championship, and before the reform, there were two teams that only lost once, the 76ers in 1983 and the Lakers in 2001.

Looking at such arrogant two, in addition to hiding their faces and not being able to bear to look directly, the corners of their mouths involuntarily brought a little smile.

"But then again, who's our next opponent?"

The person who can ask such a stupid question is Arenas.

Mo Xi indifferently gave an answer: "Houston Rockets." ”

"Oooooooooooo

There was another howl of ghosts and wolves in the locker room.

"Isn't that your little fellow's team?"

Since last season, there has been another kind of derby in the league, called the yellow derby, the Knicks' Mo and Wang, the Rocket's Yao, the three of them have been very hot for one reason or another, originally because of the super strength of the Ink and the huge strength gap between the Rockets and the Knicks, the fans were just watching a gimmick game, but because of the recent performance of the Rockets, there are different voices, especially in the eleventh of the Rockets, which can also average 17 + 9 per game, people began to face this derby, Especially when he just scored 37 points half a month ago, it was even more eye-catching.

In fact, Da Yao is definitely the peak of his debut, his career-high 41 points was scored in his second season, when he faced the Hawks at the end of February, although it was overtime, he played 50 minutes, 41 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

"How can the establishment of a dynasty not be stained with the blood of his own family." Mo Xi said murderous words very freely.

This is the final yellow derby of the season and is being played in Houston.

This game is not only a live broadcast of the whole meter, it is very important for the three of them to be broadcast, this is also broadcast live across the ocean, Mo Xi has always had a small idea in his heart, wanting to stand on the field of the 08 Olympic Games as a Chinese, the premise of all this is that in the end, whether it can pass the naturalization of players, but you must know that there is no shortage of good centers there, now there are three in the entire league, and there are several at home over there, who knows if there will be a talented wizard in the past four years.

So, for Mo Xi, who is still young, if he can become the world's No. 1 center, everything will be fine.

With a little apprehension, Mo Xi landed in Houston, and at the same time, the Knicks' winning streak journey, which was later called a bet on a winning streak by the media, also began, but at the same time, no one knew, a major turning point in Mo Xi's life gradually came.
