Chapter Forty-Six: The Journey to Texas Begins
After the win over the Celtics, they left New York to begin their Texas trifecta.
Back-to-back away games, super strong teams, team injuries, for a team, the most difficult things for the Knicks have been put together, but there is also good news for them, after the trip to Texas, the Knicks will basically heal from injuries. According to the current situation in the East, the Knicks can retain the top four positions in the East if they win one game in this trip to Texas, and they will continue to stay in the top three in the East if they win two games. And the worst result of the Knicks is to drop to the sixth place in the East, from this point of view, the Knicks really have no psychological pressure, but the Knicks management still has some requirements for Van Gundy, at least to win, such as the declining Rockets, it is best to pull the Mavericks down again, as for the Spurs, this is up to fate.
And San Antonio is also the destination of the Knicks' first game.
On this morning, Mo Xi got up very early, a little earlier than usual, and went out for a run with a thin layer of white fog. Tim Duncan, Shaquin O'Neal, the two top interior lines that Mo Xi encountered twice in the playoffs, they both left a deep impression on Mo Xi, among which O'Neal is naturally the most powerful one, not only because he once played super data on Mo Xi's head, but also because O'Neal is also a center, as the last legacy of the times, there are only two of them who can really exist as a super center, and it just so happens that Mo Xi also touched O'Neal in his rapid growth, Just like when he met Olajuwon, Mo Xi is actually following the old path of Oni's growth, but after Olajuwon defeated O'Neal, the two have never been able to play each other again in the finals, and looking at the current state, it is obvious that Mo Xi and O'Neal will not have too few encounters in the finals.
As for Tim Duncan, who made a huge impression on him, although he is a power forward, it is really only because he overlapped with Robinson, and in terms of play, he is actually more of a center than Robinson, and indeed, he often played the fifth position later in his career. He is the most powerful opponent he has ever met when he first experienced the finals, he is always silent, but he will always use this silence to suppress you, and when you inadvertently turn your head, you have been smashed by him.
Whether it's O'Neal or Duncan, they are all on a par with Mo Xi, and Mo Xi has faced them only a handful of times every season, so he also cherishes the fight with the other party, and he now feels more and more that only against the strong can he inspire his inner bravery.
Mo Xi returned to the apartment with sweat and dew, since the small unknown turmoil before the start of the season, Mo Xi has quietly lived with Ding Xiaoxi, after a period of adaptation, Ding Xiaoxi is also used to Mo Xi's ascetic lifestyle, and even often makes fun of each other, but for Ding Xiaoxi, every time Mo Xi plays away, it is really a torment for her, she has nothing here, and Mo Xi is the only one left.
Seeing the familiar smiling face and the familiar breakfast, Mo Xi's nervousness was also relieved, this peaceful lifestyle is not a bad thing, but Ewing often reminds him that as a basketball player mobilization, serenity means losing the sense of competition, which means that you should retire and find a place to retire.
The two of them sat quietly at the table eating breakfast, obviously not saying a word, but it seemed as if they had exchanged countless words, and Yang Guan hurriedly came to this small apartment and climbed onto the dining table.
Looking at the face of the person in front of him who was reflected as if it was transparent by the sun, Mo Xi gently stretched out his palm and helped it, slowly rubbing it.
Mo Xi's hands are also very beautiful, but this is really a pair of big hands, and Mo Xi's hand can almost hold most of Ding Xiaowu's head.
"It won't take too long to go out this time, the plane at noon today will arrive tomorrow morning, from the seventh to the tenth, and I will be back soon." Mo Xi said softly, carefully touching Ding Xiaowu's cheek.
It seemed to be a little helpless, but it was really helpless, Ding Xiaowu said: "Okay, okay, I know, you don't have to tell me this every time you go out, I'm already ready, besides, if you go to play away games, you will go for about a week at most, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, just give myself a vacation, I finally don't have to cook and wash clothes for you, I am busy with work every day and take care of you, I am really tired." ”
Mo Xi smiled wryly, stretched out his hand back, and touched his head, a little embarrassed.
As a member of the top center in the league, Mo Xi is actually no different from a big child, in fact, he made do with it before Ding Xiaowei came, but after all, in the boys' dormitory, although Mo Xi also loves to be clean, he will always inadvertently miss something, Ding Xiaoyou's arrival really makes Mo Xi have a feeling of entering a gentle township.
Seeing Mo Xi's embarrassment, Ding Xiaowu covered his mouth and chuckled, and said, "Okay, you go quickly, let's go to the team first, I'll deal with these things." ”
Mo Xi nodded in agreement, walked off the table, picked up his backpack and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Ding Xiaowu say again: "By the way, don't forget to bring back your phone number." ”
Mo Xi couldn't help but tremble, and cold sweat flowed.
The "magician" Johnson once said after winning the bid, you haven't seen what the player tunnel looks like, your pocket is always full of small notes with phone numbers, as a better New York than Los Angeles, the player tunnel in Madison Square Garden is actually similar, Mo Xi was "inadvertently" stuffed into the small note, and then Ding Xiaowei relied on the excellent intuition of women to directly seize it, although he knew that the other party was joking, but Mo Xi was also a little secretly weak, Although I didn't want to do anything, there was some little restlessness after all.
Mo Xi ran out of the house in a gloomy manner, to be honest, she was just a girl with a strong personality back then, why did a few years pass, and suddenly she began to develop in the direction of the queen?
Mo Xi went to the stadium without any star consciously taking the bus, his outstanding height and unique yellow skin made him surrounded by people when he was waiting for the bus, but in the United States, fans and fans are still very moral, most of the people waiting for the bus here live nearby, they know that Mo Xi is going to the stadium, so it is just an ordinary hello, and it does not bring too much harassment to Mo Xi, and if there are people who come to play from other places to see Mo Xi and entangle him, maybe they will come up to help one or twoAfter all, this is their "boss"!
At 12:17 p.m., the New York Knicks' plane took off and flew to West Texas.
This place, like Brooklyn, New York, is full of genius and passion
