Chapter 114: The Age of New York
3:1
The Knicks are just one win away from their championship, and at this time, even if they are not New Yorkers, anyone from New York is cheering for the Knicks, especially those from Brooklyn.
"Hey dear, you know what? That No. 30, yes, it's the Knicks' Eastern center, that's the young master of the martial arts gym where I apprenticed, hehe, it's my junior brother. ”
"That thirty, yellow ink, he lives upstairs in my house, let me tell you, he is strong, he stayed until four o'clock in the morning last night, otherwise how could he beat O'Neill like this!"
"Hey, let's take a look, my sandwich is Mo Tian's food, he has to buy one from me every morning when he goes to training!"
"You talk nonsense, you don't come out until six o'clock every day, Mo goes out to train at five o'clock every day, and he comes to me every day to eat!"
……
Words like this echoed everywhere on the streets of New York.
The Knicks' fierce three straight games have put the whole of New York in a state of madness, the entire four major leagues, New York has not won the championship for a long time during this period, and today's Knicks have attracted much attention, and as the absolute core of the current Knicks, Mo Xi has become the most dazzling existence.
Many media directly changed their tone, from questioning the Knicks at the beginning to touting them, only Los Angeles said sourly: "The Knicks' lineup is enough to make up a set and a half All-Stars, and the Lakers' salary is like a firefly compared to the Knicks." ”
That's right, the Knicks currently have a total of seven All-Star personnel who were, currently, and even future All-Stars, Morch, Ewing, Larry Johnson, Sprewell, Alan Houston, Mark Jackson plus a future All-Star point guard Arenas, half of the lineup is All-Stars, if it is put in a few years, it is rare to be sprayed with superstars. In fact, the Knicks' lineup looks very strong, but if you take into account the age and their injury problems, the Knicks' lineup can only be regarded as a remnant, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, whether it is Ewing or Johnson, no one will think that even if they are in their twilight years, they will not be able to beat players such as Robert Horry or Samaki Walker, and as one of the bench bandits developed by the Knicks in the playoffs, the existence of Arenas is also the most troublesome part of the Lakers.
In fact, when Mo Xi had the ability to wrestle with O'Neal, the Lakers were already at a disadvantage, although Phil Jackson has always claimed that the Lakers used a triangle offense, but just like the Bulls dynasty back then, the triangle offense was just the offensive method in the first three quarters, and at the most critical moment, Phil Jackson still handed the ball directly to the team's leading star to deal with, and the Lakers' tactics were just to maximize the power of the OK combination, but now O'Neal was replaced by Murphy, Even in a sense, O'Neal's performance is worse than Moxi, and the other core Kobe, he is still far from growing to the realm of the "black mamba" in the future, this season's Kobe Bryant's performance is actually lower than last season, and his real dominance and scoring explosiveness in the No. 8 period only started next season, this season's Kobe Bryant is still a little worse, the wine is good wine, but unfortunately the time is not right.
Just when the outside world was praising the Knicks, the Knicks' training hall did not float because of this, and still stood there steadily.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
The sound of a series of basketballs echoing through the Knicks' training base.
Mo Xi was sweating profusely and doing shooting training there.
The entire Knicks' style has been passed down in one line, and since the more ancient times, the Knicks' offensive methods have focused on hook hands and mid-range shots, and the current Knicks are a perfect replica of this tradition.
"Huh~"
As the last ball was thrown, Mo Xi took the water handed by the trainer and walked to Ewing in the corner of the training hall.
Although Ewing didn't play for a long time, Ewing was old after all, plus an injury, and the high-intensity confrontation in the Finals made Ewing have muscle soreness, but fortunately, this will be the last game, at least, that's what the Knicks think, because Mo Xi said so.
"Where do you want to go after winning the championship?"
Mo Xi leaned against the wall and asked Ewing, who was doing off-ball training on the side.
Ewing heard Mo Xi's words, and with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, he said extremely seriously: "We are not champions yet. ”
"We are the champions, and I won't let any accidents happen." ”
As Mo Xi's performance in the finals is getting better and better, Mo Xi's self-confidence is incomparably inflated, or in other words, Mo Xi is now in a very proud state, which is the emotion he is deeply buried in his heart, which is a different kind of dignity, Virgo's paranoia.
Seeing today's Mo Xi, Ewing smiled from the bottom of his heart, a few years ago, the man in front of him was just a child, but now, he is already the overlord of the Megatron side, few people know how he got to where he is today, but Ewing knows that it was Ewing who first began to train Mo Xi, and he was also the first to know that the proud self-esteem hidden under Mo Xi's gentle scholarly atmosphere is what created today's "Frozen Volcano".
Ewing said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "After winning the championship, I think I will announce my retirement and go to York City to recuperate, if I have the opportunity, I also want to go around Europe, after so many years, I have been training, and I haven't had a chance to go around!" ”
Mo Xi said: "Then do you want to go to the other side of the ocean with me at that time?" The last time I said I was going, I never had a chance, but this time I was finally able to make the trip. ”
Ewing said, "Well, I'm really curious about it, but I haven't been there once." ”
Mo Xi waved his hand and said, "I'll go up first, I still have strength training to do." ”
Looking at Mo Xi's distant back, Ewing felt that all this seemed like a dream.
At this time, a voice came from behind Ewing: "Has he been a little too inflated lately?" ”
It was none other than Larry Johnson, who was the closest to a championship in his career, and Johnson was extremely nervous about it, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
Ewing patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, as he said at that time, somebody has to win, somebody has to win the championship, why can't it be us?" He is still the humble son of the past, but the son is like a dragon, and now, the era of New York is coming! ”
