Chapter 143: Worship the Pier

After a rare rest, Mo Xi came to Brooklyn and returned to the East Bamboo Pavilion.

When he arrived at the door, Mo Xi keenly felt that the atmosphere of the martial arts hall seemed to be a little different today, and there was a faint hint of majesty in the air, at this time he had never seen it, so he stopped a disciple who ran by in a hurry and asked, only then did he know that someone had come to worship the pier.

Although the East Bamboo Pavilion has been whitewashed, the aftermath is still there, and people who come and go in Brooklyn can't avoid it more or less.

Because of the team's current sluggish record, Mo Xi's mood was not very good, and after hearing the news, Mo Xi didn't say anything, and walked straight to the hut that belonged to Mo Liyu in the back.

However, he never expected that this so-called worship pier was actually just a "chance encounter" against him.

Mo Xi gradually walked into the backyard of the East Bamboo Pavilion, but at this time, someone stopped him, and he stopped, and everything that followed seemed to be logical.

Ten years later, Isaiah Thomas spoke of the meeting with excitement and ease, saying that he was wandering the streets of Brooklyn and happened to see Moxi, so he stepped forward and asked, "How about we build a dynasty?" ”

Mo Xi replied at the time: "Yes! ”

No historian has ever come forward to take responsibility for this, but at least in Mo Xi's memory, it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Isaiah Thomas? Why are you here? With a slight chill, Mo Xi said.

Isaiah Thomas still smiled and said: "I have been away from home for many years, and I want to go back to New York to develop recently, and I came back to worship the pier, but I didn't expect this to be your territory, I really deserve to be the first person in the league." ”

Mo Xi snorted coldly, New Yorkers have always been unkind to Detroiters, especially Isaiah Thomas, the leader of the Bad Boy Army, and this person is stubborn, even among the players, his reputation is divided into two halves, generally angels, and half devils. This time, Thomas claimed to have come to worship the docks, but Moxi's subconscious told him that it was definitely not just that, he must have come here for another purpose, and it was very likely that he was here to find himself, so what was the matter? Must be related to the Knicks. Now Mo Xi really regards Nix as his home, and he will never allow anyone with evil intentions to step into his door.

No matter how Mo Xi felt about him, Thomas was secretly glad that he finally got such an opportunity to talk to Mo Xi in a private setting, Mo Xi's life is very regular, and reporters are naturally indispensable along the way, if he wants to meet Mo Xi quietly, it is really impossible.

Thomas came here to worship the docks, but it was also true to meet Mo Xi by chance. Thomas said, "Coincidentally, I was also trying to go to you, can I talk to you?" ”

Mo Xi leaned over slightly, hesitating for a moment, not knowing whether to welcome Thomas in.

Thomas hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I still know some of your rules, just say it here, I think you will be interested in listening to me." ”

This time, Mo Xi turned around completely and faced Thomas.

Thomas said: "What are your thoughts on the current state of the Knicks? Ever thought about something? For example, change? ”

Mo Xi raised his eyebrows, Thomas's mouth was such an amazing word, which caught him a little off guard for a while, but after a little reaction, Mo Xi also thought a lot, and said, "Are you looking for Dolan?" What does he mean? ”

Thomas sneered and said, "It doesn't matter what Dolan means, he'll agree in the end anyway, the key is you." Thomas smiled a slightly wicked smile, "I only know what to do when you express your thoughts, and I think what you mean is more important to the Knicks than Dolan." ”

"You want to change the coach?" Murphy said a word to break Thomas's thoughts.

"Yes," Thomas said. ”

Mo Xi frowned and said, "Then you should also know that Van Gundy is my mentor and the champion coach of the Knicks." ”

Thomas immediately sneered at him and said: "If you are really satisfied with him, or if the Knicks' current situation has nothing to do with him, then your first reaction should not be to change the coach, right?" ”

Mo Xi was speechless for a moment, in fact, he did have such thoughts, or rather, he still did.

During this period, whenever the Knicks won the game, Mo Xi was carrying the team hard. He was able to average 37.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 3.1 blocks per game in the number of games he won, which can be said to be the top half of the team alone, but the Knicks' problem is not in these places, the Knicks are sluggish at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, even if they win the game, the Knicks average 113.6 points per game when they win, but the points conceded have reached the point of 105.8 points.

Mo Xi even went to Coach John Thompson Jr. when he was most confused, and Coach Thompson's answer at that time is vivid.

"Mo, you shouldn't be looking for me for this kind of thing, I'm just a college basketball coach, not the same as league basketball. That being said, since my disciple has come to ask me, let me tell you what I think. Van Gundy is actually quite a good coach, but he is more competent as an assistant coach than a head coach, because a manager should not only think about the outcome of a game, he should think more about it, and in a long season, she will encounter all kinds of situations, and what a head coach has to do is to lay out the strategic intention of the whole team in the regular season and then send you to the playoffs, which is a war, not just a battle. Van Gundy always thinks too little, and he is not good at flexibility, he is not a master tactician, how can he dream of playing an entire season with an immature system! ”

Seeing Mo Xi's hesitation, Thomas was very happy, he quietly added a fire, and said: "Don't you want to come back a few more times after you have just experienced the taste of champions?" At the very least, a back-to-back dynasty too. ”

This sentence instantly ignited Mo Xi's ambition, back to back? No, I want a blue dynasty!

Mo Xi asked Thomas quietly, "What, do you think you can coach us?" ”

Thomas shook his head and said with a hint of a smile, "No, but I happen to know of a guy who is at home at the moment, and you've played against him, George Carr."

Mo Xi turned around and walked towards his own space.

Like Dolan, there is no answer, but Thomas already has his own answer.
