Chapter 60: New York Strikes Back
After returning from San Antonio, the Knicks had a sense of twilight, completely lacking the demeanor they had when they defeated the Pacers to win the Eastern Conference championship, as if this was really an old lady team, listless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many media feel that in fact, it is already good for the Knicks to play like this in their current state, and as long as they are making some reinforcements next season, it must be another trip to the finals, and it is not impossible to win the championship.
But the more many people said this, the more uncomfortable Mo Xi felt, and the feeling that he had been predicted to fail before the start of the game made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. In the face of such remarks, Mo Xi desperately hopes that the next game will start as soon as possible.
Introverted (sullen?) The man got serious, even the thunder in the sky had to make way for it, let alone such a small Texas city.
After returning to New York, Mo Xi didn't even return home, ran directly to the stadium, covered his head and began training. Mo Xi planned to stay here for three days and two nights, he wanted to ignite himself with anger and accumulate his own anger. At the very least, it's New York, BadAss!
On the first day back in New York, Mo Xi got up at four o'clock in the morning to start training, and at this time New York was dark, only the lights on the side of the road, and even the stars in the sky were tired and unwilling to show their true faces.
After jogging for 30 minutes, Mo Xi walked into the training hall, which was only a few maintenance staff at this time, and they were surprised to see Mo Xi, there were very few players in New York who came to train so early.
Mo Xi continued to use the training plan made by the trainer before the start of the finals. In fact, this training plan is not very strict, this is calculating the maximum range that Mo Xi's body can bear, after all, Mo Xi's body is not very strong, and most of the content in this plan is about strength training.
Mo Xi locked himself in the gym for four hours, until a trainer who had arrived to take care of him.
When the rest of the Knicks came to the training hall, Mo Xi in front of them had changed into a set of training clothes, but the new training clothes had also been half wet, which made the rest of the Knicks see this, and they were shocked, and the training atmosphere of the Knicks was unprecedentedly high that day, and there was no shadow of being defeated by the Spurs in the first two games.
Van Gundy is happy with this, for a coach, every game in the playoffs is not easy to give up, and as coaches, they are the ones who do not believe in miracles and believe in miracles the most. Seeing his disciple working so hard, Van Gundy had mixed feelings.
No one has a bad opinion of him for a hardworking person, but what makes Knicks players tingle is that this is just the beginning.
In the evening, Mo Xi started his training again, and in the eyes of others, there was a faint sense of gagging and boredom, but Mo Xi seemed to be unaware, like a machine, repeating the same action over and over again, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times.
In the end, Mo Xi simply asked for a set of coats from a staff member, slept in a room in the training hall for a while at night, and when it was about four o'clock, he came back full of energy to continue training. It's outrageous.
The Knicks' chief trainer was a little emotional, saying: "Speaking of which, I heard Gary Wetty say that there is also a person in the West, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, getting up at four o'clock in the morning to train is just a common thing, and he also has his own set of training methods, which is said to be a lot more than the standard of ordinary players." He then went on to exclaim, "Actually, when a trainer has such a player under him, it's a great experience for the trainer." ”
So, on this day, many people in the Knicks heard that there was such an alternative madman who really lived in the training hall, and for a while, the originally somewhat decadent team atmosphere suddenly became hot. Maybe victory is still out of reach, but at least, with such people, what reason is there not to fight.
However, Mo Xi's training made Van Gundy a little uneasy, the Knicks' interior line was not dominant, in order to fight against the Spurs Twin Towers, the Knicks' interior line used a wheel battle to consume the opponent, Mo Xi's training made him a little worried, and he lost a big player before the game started. Van Gundy had to talk to Mo Xi alone.
"Mo, I understand your desire to survive, but you must know that everyone's body has limits, not to mention that your physical fitness is not very good, and too strong training intensity may make you injured"
Speaking of the NBA's training intensity, it is indeed a very serious issue, many people know that Kobe Bryant has a lot of training, so he has today's achievements, but there are also many people, the amount of training is not inferior, such as Alan Houston, he is also a representative of the training maniac, but unfortunately, Houston's career began to decline rapidly in the middle and late stages, although there are reasons why the jump shot consumed too much of his knees, but Houston's large amount of training is actually an important cause of his injury, which sounds really desolate, A player falls into a slump because he trains hard.
Mo Xi also knew the danger of over-training, but he still said: "I understand, Mr. Van Gundy, but I think that there are always one or two things that people have to do at the expense of everything. ”
Van Gundy was speechless when he said this, he looked up at Mo Xi's clear gaze, and his heart trembled slightly, these big men are carrying a lot, but who knows what they are doing? Even if those reporters are scattered reports, how much can they understand? Instead of feeling it personally, how many people know what David did to defeat Goliath?
However, Mo Xi still accepted Van Gundy's last advice, and on the 21st, Mo Xi reduced the amount of training and left a good physical condition for the evening game.
There can only be one winner on the battlefield, and in that case, why can't it be me? With this mentality, Mo Xi came to the battlefield again, a battlefield that belonged to men.
Van Gundy still used Dudley as a pseudo-starter in this game, with Mo Xi and Camby taking turns playing.
When the DJ shouted "7 feet tall, 227 pounds, No. 30 center from Georgetown, Xi Mo Xi walked out quietly, waved around, and then stood there quietly, with his head down, and sometimes interacted with his teammates who came out of the game. But, just like that, whether it's Camby, Johnson, Houston, even Popovich, Duncan, Robinson on the other side, they all have the same feeling, this man is like an active volcano in ice.
Madison Square Garden fans were a little surprised to find two players on the field who were so similar, both so quiet, but under this silence there was an amazing amount of power, one wearing the number 21 and the other the number 30.
The referee's whistle blows, Game 3 of the Finals begins at Madison Square Garden in New York, and the Knicks will be fighting for honor.
Mo Xi sat on the sidelines, quietly looking at every opponent on the field, his eyes were full of chilling calmness, as if he had thrown every enemy into the volcano in his heart.
He's waiting, waiting for the time to play, waiting for the time to go on the court.
