The best thing about human beings is their attachment to the attribute of destruction, they will destroy everything around them that has nothing to do with themselves, and finally, they are destroying themselves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know why, Mo Xi couldn't help but think of such a sentence.

New York is almost like that now, or even worse, because there is nothing else to destroy, so people start destroying each other, or rather, mainly focusing on destroying the Knicks.

The Knicks worked hard to win the third game, which is really gratifying, but just a day later, suddenly some media turned up old accounts, saying that if Ewing was traded to O'Neal, then presumably, the Knicks would have already won the championship, right?

Perhaps the first person to say this was just because of the emotion of seeing O'Neill's current supernatural performance, but the others after him made Mo Xi wonder what kind of thoughts they were holding.

Before the finals were over, when the Knicks were still at a disadvantage, after the New Yorkers had just won a victory, some media began to encourage the Knicks' management to trade Ewing, because Ewing almost disappeared at the Knicks' most critical moment.

No matter who it is, even if it is Moxi, Johnson and even Ewing himself must admit that counting last season, the Knicks have won more victories without Ewing, especially the legendary playoff journey of the Knicks, although the Knicks still hate the Finals, of course, the most ridiculous thing is that when there are many people in New York who think that if Ewing is not injured, the situation will be very different, but it is less than a year, and obviously people "know that mistakes can be corrected" and think that they would be better without Ewing.

Rumors in the media are rumors after all, but Mo Xi is curious about who has the ability to make the media in New York suddenly like this for a while, how to describe it best? Off one's head? When the Knicks needed to stabilize the morale of the army the most, someone actually came to dismantle the stage, and the most amazing thing was that this was done by his own people, so Mo Xi had the initial sigh.

In fact, if Mo Xi could have a deeper understanding of the management's movements, then it is obvious that he would not continue to practice in the arena so honestly.

After the end of the last game, to the next finals, the two sides have two days to adjust, and Mo Xi didn't expect anyone to be so stupid at all.

The day after the media hype, the Knicks' management held a small meeting in secret, unnoticed, and of course, out of respect for tradition, they asked coach Van Gundy to come over and listen to the results of their final meeting.

Van Gundy was very curious, although he really hadn't slept well in the past few days, but at least he didn't remember that he had such a ridiculous dream, maybe he really had to go out for a day to get a good night's sleep, otherwise you look at what is going on now, he actually fell asleep at the Knicks' impromptu meeting, and even had such a strange dream.

Van Gundy shuddered, barely holding back his voice, not to look too much, furious, he said hoarsely, "So, you called me over, uh, just for, please forgive me, maybe I didn't understand, but as far as I understand it, you plan to pack up and sell Ewing and Mo Xi this summer, right?" ”

A bespectacled, typical Wall Street-born man straightened his tie to make him look more imposing, and he said arrogantly: "Actually, I think you understand quite right, even though you graduated from Pheasant University, I have to say that your rhetoric is pretty good." "Hell, someone would turn down Yale just to play.

Van Gundy clasped his hand tightly under the table, and he unconsciously raised his voice and said, "We're playing a game, the finals, and we just won one on our doorstep, and those two people you said are the cornerstones of our victory!" ”

The Wall Street spectacled man just now said in a shocked tone: "Oh my God, I think I'm going to retract what I just said, with your level of rhetoric, you can't finish at Yale, even if we don't watch the game, we also know that Ewing's performance in the past two years has been a mess, and in fact, what you think is the cornerstone didn't even play in the Knicks' most critical fierce battle, think about last year!" Also, the last game? He only played ten minutes, and that's what you call the cornerstone of victory? ”

Van Gundy said quickly: "So you're going to discuss player trades at this critical time, even despite the fact that we're playing the finals?" What are we working for this year? ”

The other party's reply was simple and direct, but it was very deadly, he said: "Why, you don't think you can win the championship by winning a game, I think we can see it very clearly, you can't limit O'Neal, failure, it's just a matter of time, the other party is ahead of a home field." ”

Van Gundy was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said in an almost hopeful tone: "Dolan, do you see it that way?" ”

James Dolan, a successful businessman, a brilliant manager, loves sports, but he turned out to be a team owner who failed too much.

Dolan, who was already a little blessed at this time, glanced at Van Gundy and seemed to ignore him, but for the sake of his hard work for the Knicks for so many years, Dolan still spoke: "Actually, Van Gundy, if it wasn't for Riley's hindrance back then, Ewing's deal would have been reached, and unfortunately I wasn't the manager of the team at that time." At that time, Dolan was still recovering from drugs.

Van Gundy's face was a little pale, and he said: "At least, Mo, he can stay, you know, he is a promising center, think about Olajuwon, think about O'Neal now, think about Willis Reed back then, I think he has a chance to grow into that role." ”

James Dolan's gaze deepened, he propped his chin in his hands, and said in a calm voice like a cold-blooded snake: "Van Gundy, you have to understand that trading is an ancient science, and sometimes, if you want to get something, you have to give something. ”

Van Gundy's face was already a little pale, he couldn't sit still, and he asked, "So, what kind of deal is it?" ”

"It's a verbal agreement from Boston, and they're going to trade a protected first-round pick from '00 and '01 plus Antoine Walker for our Ewing, Murphy and a second-round pick in '00," the Wall Street man said. ”

The management of the Knicks is a little proud, you know, Antoine Walker is the Celtics' first scoring point this season, averaging 20+8 per game, he is really an excellent forward, his arrival just complements the Knicks' weaker points, plus the current performance of Antoine Walker, the Knicks feel that they are simply making a lot of money.

Van Gundy's face instantly turned blood-red, he knew whose handiwork it was, the movement of the entire media, coupled with this sudden verbal deal, in this alliance, except for the godfather-like old man, no one would set up such a game, and every blow grabbed the lifeblood of others, but Van Gundy also knew that this was his last chance, taking advantage of the arrogance of these people.

Van Gundy quickly searched for a sentence that could convince them, and just as Dolan was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, Van Gundy suddenly said loudly, "Don't you think something is wrong? Although this year is a small year for the draft, the Celtics' draft pick is also quite high, plus there are next year's, and even their top player, such a deal must be strange here. ”

As soon as Van Gundy's words came out, everyone fell silent, and they thought about it calmly at this time, it seemed that it really made sense, but ......

Van Gundy hurriedly filled the fire again, and said: "Such a bad trick must have come from Auerbach, he is the best at these crooked ways, of course, you didn't notice it at the first time, because you don't have such a deep relationship with him, if you have dealt with him, then you must be able to see it." ”

Van Gundy turned the tide with a strong force.

James Dolan said, "Okay, Van Gundy, you can go back first, we'll think about these things again." ”

It's done, at least, the Knicks are here for the time being.

Van Gundy walked out of the conference room, and he suddenly realized that in fact, the league game, even on the stage of the finals, has many advantages that cannot be shown on the playing field, such as management.
