Chapter 11: Final Preparations Before the Season

“Defend! Defend! Defend! (Defend!) Defend! Defend! )

Van Gundy walked on the sidelines with his hands behind his back, yelling at the players running on the court, you can hardly imagine that this is a high-achieving student with a doctorate, and at the moment he is more like an alcoholic gambler, yelling at everyone who passes by him, as if he wants to engrave his words deeply into everyone who walks by him.

Everyone on the court was almost brainwashed by Van Gundy at this time, and when everyone turned back and ran over, Van Gundy's voice automatically echoed in their heads, "Defense." Of course, there are also people who scoff at this, such as Arenas, who has never left the West Coast since he was a child, and he has hardly faced up to the problem of defense until he learned basketball, and it seems that it is not a big deal for others to pass him, as long as he returns it the top of the opponent's head.

It's just that Arenas still remembers what Mo Xi talked to him that day, for this brother who has become a powerful leader, in fact, Arenas is very unhappy, although the two are five years apart, but Arenas does not compare himself with his peers, but puts his eyes on those he has experienced together, such as Paul Pierce or Kobe Bryant, his goals are very high, he also thinks that he has been underestimated, Arenas's young heart, there is always some unwillingness, he thinksHe's going to be the leader of the team as long as he gets that chance, and he's the best point guard in the league, there's no one.

It's just that what Mo Xi said is right, where you come to, you must respect the traditions and culture of that place, the most important thing for the Knicks is their defense, the defense of the league, even if it is placed in the whole league, it is a unique one, even in the face of the OK combination that is in full swing at this time, the Knicks have also limited the opponent to below ninety. Of course, Arenas is still very useful for Mo Xi's words, "Since you can go so far on the offensive end and dominate your position, then I believe that you can also impress them on the defensive end, and the difference is that you don't even know the if you want to defend or not." "Arenas likes this sentence very much, who said that Mo Xi can't talk trash, isn't it very good! Although, he is still not very willing to defend.

Van Gundy looked at the people running back and forth on the court in front of him, and he was actually very satisfied, this is already the closest Knicks have come to a fully equipped lineup in recent years, plus before the start of the season, Johnson and Ewing have come to him, they all said that no matter what the final result of this season is, they must choose to retire in the end. For this, Van Gundy can't help but feel a little embarrassed, Johnson is okay, but Ewing, has experienced several turmoil, but can still stay in New York, for a player, this is also a blessing, and he has a few centers in the same period, O'Neal needless to say, even Olajuwon, who is considered to be the strongest, was forced to leave Houston, a land ruled by his name, but "Admiral" Robinson is quite nourishing in San Antonio, from the current situation, I'm sure I'll be old in San Antonio.

And the other man, Charles Oakley, although he didn't say it, Van Gundy also faintly heard something from his words to leave. The Knicks are so old that this could be the last season for many of them, which means that fitness and injuries will probably be the most powerful killers to stop the Knicks, but he will also bring untold wealth, such as the players' pursuit of championships.

Today was the last day of the Knicks' preseason practice, and Van Gundy didn't continue the training until late, announcing the end of practice just after four o'clock. The team has prepared well in pre-season, and the rest will depend on how much they want to get their hands on that golden trophy.

However, to everyone's surprise, today's Knicks' team activities did not end, and surprisingly, Mo Xi did not practice today, but taught everyone.

"Hey, I made an appointment at Clover in Brooklyn tonight, how about you go for a drink together."

The few newcomers didn't say much, and Arenas was even more excited, as the most legendary bar in Brooklyn, he had heard of it for a long time, but it was clear that his net worth probably supported him to go once and then sleep on the street.

The other people, Houston, Sprewell, Ewing, Ward and others looked at Mo Xi in amazement, this is really not like the person in their impression, this, how can it change so much.

Johnson was not without obscenity, and whispered to Oakley on the side, "Boys will eventually grow up one day, and our ascetics will finally become men." ”

Johnson and Oakley's voices were slightly quieter, but they made the few people next to them hear clearly, and Mo Xi was embarrassed, and he couldn't refute it!

It was Houston who stepped up and broke the siege and said, "Okay, I'll be there on time." ”

For the first team-wide gathering of the new core of the team, naturally no one will not give face.

Looking at the change in Moxi, both Ewing and Van Gundy smiled with satisfaction. At least they finally saw Mo Xi grow into a qualified New York night watchman in his "lifetime".

Arenas went with Mo Xi, and several people from the Knicks surrounded a not small place, after all, the whole team of fifteen people was here, plus there were all figures with heads and faces on the New York territory, and the backgrounds on their bodies were still a little deep, but there were no unobtrusive guys who came here to get to know them.

However, Mo Xi is still a little bad at dealing with this kind of occasion, but fortunately, Houston and Johnson came early and helped Mo Xi fill this gap. Ewing jokingly said to Mo Xi, "I really didn't expect you to change so much. ”

Mo Xi raised the soda in his hand, raised it towards Ewing, and said, "Actually, the change is not as big as you imagined. ”

Ewing said, "But I would think you'd be better suited to sit in a café with a book in hand." ”

Mo Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'll show you the biggest changes." ”

Mo Xi put his hand on the table, stretched out for Ewing, and wrestled his wrist.

Ewing's orangutan face did not change, and he decisively shook Mo Xi's hand and said, "It's not that I'm boasting about anything, even though I'm almost forty now, my strength hasn't dropped too much." ”

Mo Xi smiled and held it firmly.

The interaction between Mo Xi and Ewing obviously attracted everyone's attention, and everyone gathered around to watch this Knicks vs. Ewing civil war, Mo Xi vs Ewing.

Johnson as a referee, after a start, neither of them had any reservations, they suddenly burst out of their powerful strength, and they suddenly competed, the first two or three seconds, both of them were evenly divided, gradually, the faces of both of them were a little red, Ewing's big black face was not very obvious in the dimly lit bar, but Mo Xi's face was even obvious, just when people were speculating, when Mo Xi lost, Mo Xi suddenly increased his strength, Ewing was caught off guard, and he was defeated all of a sudden.

"Oooooooooooo

There was a howl of ghosts and wolves, and it was obvious that they were very surprised by Mo Xi's victory.

Mo Xi soon fought with Johnson next to him.

Ewing returned to the shadowy corner alone, and Oakley leaned over and said, "What, feel unhappy about losing?" ”

Ewing smiled and touched a glass with him and said, "No, I'm very happy, I think my dream will soon come true." ”
