Chapter 250: Core Treatment
The court is proud, the love field is also proud, and Roy's days suddenly become moist.
Fame, money, love, and the promise that the ball god gave Roy back then seem to have come true.
With thousands of precious waists and beauties as companions, what is the pursuit of the following? It's undoubtedly an honor.
Roy found that after entering the NBA, it was much easier for him to achieve anything, but except for one thing - honor.
For every NBA player, their highest pursuit is undoubtedly the NBA championship and the MVP trophy that represents personal value.
Of course, for a rookie like Roy, it's too early to say that. All he can do is try to play every game and walk every step of his way.
With an astonishing five-game winning streak, the Knicks have achieved a 5-4 record before the game against the Mavericks, improving their win rate to more than 50%, and also finishing in the top eight in the East, temporarily ranking sixth in the East, second in the Atlantic Division behind the Toronto Raptors.
Looking at the Eastern Division, as of November 13, 2016, the current Eastern Conference standings are the Cleveland Cavaliers (8-1), the Atlanta Hawks (7-2), the Toronto Raptors (6-3), the Charlotte Hornets (6-3), the Chicago Bulls (6-4), the New York Knicks (5-4) and the Milwaukee Bucks (5-4) in joint 6th, and the Detroit Pistons 8th (5-5) , the Boston Celtics (4-5) and Brooklyn Nets (4-5) are tied for 9th, the Orlando Magic (4-6) and Indiana Pacers (4-6) are tied for 11th, the Miami Heat (2-6) are 13th, the Washington Wizards (2-7) are 14th, and the Philadelphia 76ers (1-8) are 15th.
It can be said that except for the strong rise of the New York Knicks and the plummeting fall of the Washington Wizards, the rankings of other teams are still in line with team expectations.
After reading the rankings, let's take a look at the NBA power rankings that fans are most talked about and experts are most proud of. In the latest edition of the NBA Power Rankings, the New York Knicks have risen from the bottom 30th to the 14th in the middle of the table with a wave of five consecutive wins.
This shows that both experts and fans still recognize the efforts of the Knicks.
Similarly, the media's attitude towards the New York Knicks has changed dramatically from before the season began. Before the season, I am afraid that no media would have thought that the Knicks could beat the likes of the Celtics and Raptors, nor would they have thought that they would be able to play a five-game winning streak without Anthony.
Dark horse, absolute dark horse, those media who originally blackened the Knicks are now transformed, and they don't hesitate to slap themselves in the face to shout for this dark horse, and rub a wave of heat.
"The young Knicks have shown their potential, and they could be a strong contender for an NBA championship in the years to come." (Comment: Fart, isn't it the pre-season statement that this Knicks team is seriously inexperienced, old and young, and they are still strong contenders for the bottom team in the league this year?) )
"Trees are dead, people are alive, wonder coach Hornacek led the weak New York Knicks to a five-game winning streak, he proved that he is fully capable of leading the team, McDonald (Phoenix Suns general manager) Do you regret it?" (Comment:, when you lost four in a row, you said that Hornacek was destined to become the first head coach in the league to step down, and his next stop could probably only be the CBA.) )
"Great Roy, he's going to be a superstar, you know, Michael Jordan was still working hard for North Carolina when he was 19 years old, but Roy has played a magical game of 50 points at the age of 19, and we are all Roy fans this year." (Comment: Hey, hey, is there any mistake, who once said that Roy's ceiling can only be Sean Battier?) )
The team was peaceful, and the outside world was full of hype, which made Knicks president Phil Jackson realize that there was an opportunity, and he must also speed up to complete the Anthony trade.
After two rounds of testing, Phil Jackson finally understood Anthony's mind.
It's not any other team, the team Anthony wants to go to is actually the Cleveland Cavaliers? Did you hear that right? It's the Cleveland Cavaliers!
What chips can the Cavaliers trade Anthony with? It seems that the only stars who match Anthony's value and grade are Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, and David Griffin (general manager of the Cavaliers) will either have his brain burned out to complete this deal, right?
But time waits for no one, and opportunity waits for no one, and while the team is on the right track now, Phil Jackson must quickly provide the team with a fuel to help the team lift up. No matter how you say it, you can't waste $24.56 million in wages, right?
With the mentality of giving it a try, the "Zen Master" dialed Griffin's phone and communicated, and the result made him overjoyed, and Griffin actually said that he could consider trading Anthony.
Is this really good luck that can't be stopped? Not only are the Cavaliers willing to trade Anthony, but the chips they can give away turned out to be really Kyrie Irving!
Griffin has a pit in his brain, and he is very good.
No, I must have been transferred.
Or is this my Phil Jackson's charisma?
Hey, calm down, Phil, you're a generation of handsome, it's a shame to laugh like this.
At this time, Phil Jackson, who was sitting in front of Roy, looked like the spokesperson of KFC (KFC), his full head of white hair, his neat beard, and the smile that he couldn't hide from the corners of his mouth made him look no different from the old man who was a household name.
"Roy, I'm inviting you here today to discuss something big with you." As he spoke, Phil Jackson put two fingers on his cheek, trying to control his joy.
"Boss, if you have something, just say it, I'll listen to you." Roy, who was called to the office by the "Zen Master", looked confused, he didn't quite understand what the purpose of the "Zen Master" meeting him was at this juncture, if he wanted to celebrate the team's five consecutive wins, then the "Zen Master" had already called him before.
"I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
Hey, please, you're still playing this when you're old? You're a respected person, isn't it appropriate to talk like that? What exactly are you spurred on today?
Although he complained in his heart, Roy still replied very politely "Zen master".
"Then let's hear the good news first."
"Well, the good news first. I think you've heard that the team is going to trade Anthony, and I'd like to hear your advice as a player that the team will focus on developing in the future. ”
Well? Didn't it say that there was good news to say, but why did it become an opinion consultation again?
Phil Jackson saw Roy's confusion and continued: "By the way, our only potential trade team at the moment is the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the player they can send is Kyrie Irving. ”
"Zen Master" paused too easily when he said this, he observed Roy's expression, and Roy was really surprised.
Like the "Zen Master", when Roy heard the names of the Cavaliers and Irving, his first reaction was that the head of the general manager of the Cavaliers was caught in the door, right? And the second reaction is the so-called good news, the Knicks can trade Anthony to Irving.
"As a deal between teams, this kind of thing doesn't need to be discussed with you, but out of respect for you, I am here to talk to you in advance, please be sure to keep it secret."
"Don't worry, this must be."
"Very well, so do you think you can coexist with Owen?"
Coexistence? Speaking of Owen, Roy's mind is full of his fancy and flamboyant movements. To be honest, on the surface, Owen is not a guy to mess with, and if he doesn't get along well, he may not have Anthony to serve.
But, who knows? Before Anthony was revealed, who would have thought that such a star player with a sweet smile was also a "cancer"?
"I think it should be possible." Roy has no reason to object, as a rookie, it is already a great honor for him to be invited to talk to the president of the team about the future of the team, and he didn't want to ask for more.
"Okay, then I'm going to talk about the bad news, Kyrie Irving refuses to come to New York to report, he doesn't want to play for the Knicks, so we have to find a team to make a three-way trade."
"So?" Roy doesn't understand, old man, are you playing with me? Call me in and tell me a bunch of useless nonsense?
"So, I'm going to give up on bringing in established stars and build a new New York Knicks team around you, and you're going to have to work hard."
O, flattered, what kind of wind is this blowing? Roy was a little overwhelmed all of a sudden, although Phil Jackson had always been good to him and regarded himself as a confidant, but when he said that he wanted to build a team around him, Roy was still moved.
Phil, don't worry, I will work hard, from now on, I will be your man......
