Chapter Thirty-Nine: Signing Back to Back
After dealing with the Texas Cowboys, the Knicks didn't have time to celebrate the big win and hurriedly boarded a special plane to Philadelphia the next day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSpeaking of Mo Xi's luck seems to have been greatly improved during this period of time, after Ewing's return date is determined, on December 12 against the Cartics comeback, Mo Xi found that most of the teams to be played before this are teams hovering around the eighth place in the division, they are not very strong teams, and they don't even have a first-class center inside, and during this period, the Knicks will face the 76ers twice, so mentioning the 76ers does not mean that the current 76ers are very poor, but, Alan Iverson, the star of the 76ers, is expected to recuperate for about a month after scoring 35 points against the Spurs a week ago. However, this also highlights Mo Xi's good luck, and Iverson expressed jealousy more than once in the phone call with Mo Xi.
Therefore, generally speaking, we call people who don't die after jumping off a cliff to pick up cheats, who die in a car accident and are crossed, and who are dumped by lovelorn as the protagonist, and who can also have this type of wish-fulfillment.
All in all, Moxi has put his luck on the pain of others, and this is a great opportunity for him, starting with Johnson's injury, and even if Ewing returns, the Knicks will still have an inside power forward position vacant for a while. However, because Camby's injury has not yet healed, Mo Xi's opportunity is more prominent, these games do not have to play like yesterday's Mavericks, as long as the ability to take out 15+8 is enough for Mo Xi to stand firm in the starting position again.
But if they can perform better, who would say no?
The Knicks dragged their tired bodies off the plane, back-to-back games are the most disgusting for the players, not only because of physical and mental fatigue, but also because of the back-to-back games that make them lose a lot of leisure time, although generally away players are not allowed to go out without permission, but who doesn't have a friend in the league or something, just like Ewing to Atlanta, he will definitely go out with Mutombo for a drink, Johnson to Oakley's turf The two of them may not know what to go out for, that is, Moxi, When you go to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles, or something, you will be approached by three or five friends. Of course, these are important players in the team after all, and even Van Gundy has turned a blind eye.
It's just that now Mo Xi has nowhere to go in Philadelphia, one is back-to-back, noon arrives, and the game will be played in the evening, and the other is that Iverson is injured, and even the doctor who came to see the game is not allowed.
At the end of the afternoon acclimatization, because the game was imminent, and it was impossible to do strenuous training that could lead to injury, the bored Mo Xi was sent to play cards by Cambilla. Along with Dudley and Houston. They are playing the popular Battle of Hearts, after all, these people are not the kind of crazy gamblers, which is more like entertainment for them.
But it's also a divide, for example, Camby, it's a nightmare, because this game requires you to have good mathematical calculations, and it's an alternative way to solve problems for Mo Xi and Dudley, two scientists who have been delayed by basketball, and Houston is not very bad, so Camby is left with a red face and loses without knowing what happened.
The game is fast, every time you get a heart, you get a point, the queen of spades is thirteen points, and someone loses to a hundred points and it's over.
For Houston, such a gamble is very simple, as long as he calculates his cards to survive in the cracks, it is not a big problem, and with his own experience, as long as he ensures that the score is not pulled away, there may be a chance for a wave of counterattack.
As for Mo Xi and Dudley, these two men have been calculating since they were not drawing. The game of Hearts was very familiar to the two of them at this level, and its most popular time was probably the Vietnam War, because it required a lot of calculation and logical reasoning skills, and it was very popular with Ivy League students, of course, there were many people who were dissuaded from their studies because they were too addicted to it.
As the spokesperson of the Knicks' academic tyrants, the confrontation between Mo Xi and Dudley is naturally very good-looking.
What, you said the fourth person, sorry, I forgot about Camby. As the person who pulled Mo Xi over to make up the game, he completely regretted what he did, what did I do? What's going on? Who the hell am I?
Camby was completely skeptical of life and had already begun to think about his philosophy of life.
In the first game, Mo Xi and Dudley were not familiar with each other, but they tested each other for a wave, although some of them still had seven points of luck, but the people who could really win to the end often won on those three points.
Camby succeeded in becoming a scapegoat, swallowing ten points alone, Houston lay down a shot, which was shot by Dudley's queen, and the remaining three points were two points and Dudley took one.
After the warm-up in the first game, Mo Xi and Dudley seemed to have some ideas about each other, and the second game actually began to fight each other, except for the queen who was eaten by Camby, the remaining thirteen points were divided by these two people, Mo Xi scored six points, and Dudley scored seven points.
After this game, the two seemed to realize that they couldn't target each other like this, which was easy for the Houston guy to steal and do something, and it happened that the two had the same score at this time, so the two of them gave up and started the decision of "outside must first be inside".
It turns out that under the attack of two top students, Camby and Houston are too difficult, Houston is a veteran in this, and Camby has a very keen sense of defense, but none of these, this battlefield has nothing to do with your talent and experience, it still relies on IQ and luck.
After a few rounds, the game was nearing its end, with Camby scoring the most points with 89 points, Houston 41 points, Moxi 14 points, and Dudley 12 points.
Mo Xi began to calculate constantly, if he continued to play like this, it was very likely that this game would end directly, and then Dudley would win the victory by two points less than himself, Mo Xi needed to think about it carefully, so a bold plan appeared in Mo Xi's mind.
But to accomplish this plan, it will take a little luck, and it must not be seen by anyone, and it is necessary to accurately calculate the cards in Dudley's hand.
Mo Xi played extremely seriously in the first round, and then sold a small flaw, ate two points, and then Mo Xi forcibly obtained the right to play, and covertly put the rhythm into his control.
Mo Xi's sideburns began to sweat, he was a little nervous, it was a bold idea, but if you want to win, this is undoubtedly one of the safest moves, although it may seem aggressive, but as long as you calculate it clearly enough, it will be a good problem, and it will be a safe victory.
When Mo Xi got eight points, Dudley faintly found that something was wrong, and began to plan to snatch Mo Xi's card rights, but at this time, it was already a little late, after Mo Xi received a round of hearts, he directly released the Queen of Spades, in their words back then, this is called "Thatfuckingbitch", the King of Spades and aces have gone down, and Mo Xi won the thirteen points of the Queen of Spades. In the end, Mo Xi threw out another ace of clubs and took the last heart.
"Ishootthemoon" (I shot the moon.) ļ¼
Mo Xi announced loudly with a smile that Mo Xi got all the twenty-six points, and the other three added 26 points each, and Mo Xi didn't get any points. This situation requires not only accurate calculations, but also a lot of luck.
Looking at the cards in front of him, Mo Xi thought back to his next good luck schedule, maybe one day, people will really find Lady Luck sitting at the head of his bed.
Mo Xi gave up after this round. Dudley was a little unsatisfied, but Mo Xi still sternly refused.
Mo Xi is well aware of his psychological situation, he is an addictive person, lacks self-control, once he falls into something and it is difficult to pull it out, then the best way is to stay away from him.
Mo Xi left satisfied, hoping that he would still have such good luck at night.
