Chapter 14: The Pre-Race Meeting

On April 29, the Knicks hurried back to their home court to face the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks have played the 76ers three times before www.biquge.info with two wins and one loss. I have to say that with Sprewell's Knicks, it can be said that the 76ers are Tianke, and Iverson has reached the point of being forced to scold his mother when facing Sprewell.

Mo Xi got up very early this day, because of the evening game, he didn't do too much strength training, but started shooting practice seriously. On the Knicks' playboard, there are instructions for jumping shots almost everywhere, whether it was Pat Riley back then or Van Gundy now. Even top center Patrick Ewing, although he has excellent back-to-back offensive skills, plays a role in the tactics of the two, and the occasional single is mostly ended with a turnaround jumper behind his back.

The first thing Mo Xi did after returning to the Knicks was to ask Alan Houston for advice on mid-range shooting skills. Although many people think that it would be better for Mo Xi to learn from Patrick Ewing, who is also in the center position, Mo Xi knows that since he wants to learn mid-range shooting, it is the best choice to start learning from the more standard mid-range king Alan Houston.

There was no back turn, no step back, no feints, no back-up, and Mo Xi's shooting training started directly from the most basic jump shots, and under the leadership of Houston, Mo Xi began to shoot 2,000 times a day.

Many people in the Knicks looked at Mo Xi in a strange way at first, including Alan Houston, after all, all kinds of identity halos are superimposed, Mo Xi can indeed be regarded as the Knicks princeling, and Mo Xi belonged to the kind of person who trained to clock in to work, had a weak mentality, and lacked pressure resistance, typical of the person he hated the most.

However, after Mo Xi's alcohol poisoning this time, he seems to have really come to his senses, from his training attitude to the performance of the schedule, it is like a different person, not to mention, not everyone can do 2,000 shots a day like himself.

Alan Houston had some strange feelings in his heart, and although Van Gundy did well, the departure of Pat Riley still had a lot of impact on the Knicks. There are not a few New York gangs left now, maybe this kid is the next generation of New York gangs.

It was almost noon since Mo Xi finished shooting drill, and in such a shrunken season, Van Gundy did not dare to ask the team to train too hard, and Van Gundy surprisingly gave everyone a break to prepare for the evening game.

Mo Xi walked out of the arena, the sun had risen high at this time, Mo Xi hesitated, not knowing what to eat at noon. At this moment, Mo Xi's mobile phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was a familiar name, Allen Iverson.

"Yo, Aaron, you arrived early, don't you need to rest?"

"We didn't have back-to-backs, Philadelphia wasn't that far from New York, and our coach was a good guy who was reasonable and disbanded when he got off the plane."

Mo Xi heard this, pouted, I don't know who complained to him about the coach, it can be described as a contradiction, but for some reason, this season, Iverson's relationship with the coach quickly warmed up, and Iverson himself also benefited from Larry Brown's tactical arrangement, this season took advantage of the opportunity of each scorer to be dumb, and had a chance to become the scoring champion.

"Okay, I'm at the door of the arena, you come and pick me up." Mo Xi said.

Another problem of Mo Xi, unless necessary, absolutely do not drive, I don't know why, he actually has a strange fear of driving, for this, Mo Xi has always explained that he is a non-tech.

Iverson, who was on the other side of the phone, was a little unhappy and said, "Hey, this is your territory, you actually asked me to pick you up, and I don't have a car." ”

Mo Xi was speechless for a while, and the two stared at each other across the phone.

Eventually, he came up with a solution and told Iverson the address of a restaurant he frequented, where the two met.

Murphy feels like he's been almost at a Georgetown alumni reunion lately, first with Mutombo, then with Iverson, and a week later, Mourning's Heat will be back against the Knicks.

After meeting with Iverson, Mo Xi first exchanged a few pleasantries, and then entered the ruthless talk during the meal.

"I heard that you were quite ruthless in the previous paragraph, and you detained Uncle Africa." Iverson said as he ate.

Uncle Africa is the nickname given to Mutombo by the students of Georgetown, and it is very graphic in terms of region, gender and age......

When Mo Xi heard his friend say this, he was naturally a little proud, and said: "It's not good, after all, it's just two clicks, and I guess I can do this." In a word, it seems to be humble and arrogant, and it feels like some college roommates bragged to each other before.

Iverson and Mo Xi have been together for a long time, so they naturally know that getting along with such a sullen person must not make him happy, and they must hit him hard. Iverson said: "I remember the first time I played against you this season, I was a bit of a bad guy, a point 30 points off. ”

Who knows, Mo Xi was not ashamed but said proudly: "Oh, that scene, I didn't go on." ”

Iverson almost beat him, can alcohol poisoning still increase people's cheekiness? Do you have to come a few times yourself?

Then, Iverson said: "However, Uncle their team is really strong, I only scored 32 points against them at most, and at least 24 points." ”

"Oh," Mo Xi said in a nonchalant and almost indifferent tone, "those more than 30% hits? ”

Iverson said helplessly: "Hey, bro, I'm the scoring champion now, and you're just a rookie, so you can't show respect for an old player?" ”

Mo Xi said elegantly: "Aaron, have you forgotten, this is New York, I belong to the Knicks, and the Knicks are never friendly to the enemy." ”

This time, Iverson didn't know what to say at all, and after holding it for a long time, he almost held himself out of internal injuries, and finally came out: "I'm better than you." ”

Mo Xi smiled and said very seriously: "From today onwards, it won't be." ”

Mo Xi said it very honestly, he really thought so in his heart, and he didn't mean to be arrogant, he just told the truth. Like a martial arts novel, it seems that Mo Xi, who was beaten by his mother that day, was opened up to the second vein of Ren Du. He thought a lot clearly, he couldn't compare to Ewing, Olajuwon, Robingson, Mutombo, and Kobe Bryant, Canby, Duncan, Iverson, Garnett and others in the same period couldn't compare, but for some reason, Mo Xi just felt, and at the same time told himself, I am the best one.

When Iverson heard this, he was stunned, he seemed to understand something, looked at Mo Xi with new eyes, and said, "At least that will have to be seen tonight." ”

Hearing Iverson's words, Mo Xi smiled shamelessly again and said, "I'm sorry, forgive me for pouring cold water on you, but it seems that you don't have an advantage in fighting us." ”

Iverson has nothing to say, not to mention the strong offensive power of the opponent's interior, that is, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Sprewell and Chris Charles on the outside are no longer the outside lines that can be dealt with by their own team, not to mention that Sprewell's existence is simply designed specifically to deal with Iverson.

Unquenchable defensive enthusiasm, fast footwork, ferocious style of play, strong body, and strong offensive threat have caused problems for Iverson everywhere from offense to defense.

Mo Xi said at this time: "I don't think you think just this kind of competition is very interesting, right?" ”

Iverson seemed to realize that and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Mo Xi said in surprise, "Let's see who wins the championship first." The tone is so flat that it's as simple as cooking rice at home and burning it.

Iverson said with an exaggerated smile, "Well, if you dare, I thought your ambition was just that." However, I won't let go of today's game, I'm going to take 40 points. ”

Mo Xi shrugged and said, "Whatever you want, as long as you can do it." ”

In this way, two little guys who don't know the height of the sky start their first bet in an unknown restaurant, at this time, one is almost the new scoring champion, while the other is still unknown.
