Wu Huang had just returned to New York and was about to mobilize his brain-dead fans to take the opportunity to scare D'Antoni, but he first received a dinner invitation from the team owner.

James Dolan sometimes looks like a brain-dead, but sometimes he is very witty, Wu Huang doesn't know where his boss got the wind, but it is clear that he knows that he is unhappy with D'Antoni, and he also knows that the wind suddenly starts to blow towards D'Antoni, it must have something to do with him, the core of the team.

"What do you think of Phil?" Emperor Wu was invited by Dolan to his home as a guest, and of course he was not able to refuse this kind of invitation, until the dinner was almost over, and Dolan suddenly asked, which caught Emperor Wu off guard.

He knew that his boss invited him to his home immediately after three consecutive defeats, so he should have something to say, but he didn't expect to ask that?!

"He's a championship coach with rings all over his hand and he looks like an old KFC man." Wu Huang didn't know what his brain-dead boss meant, so he could only say so.

James Dolan smiled when he heard this, he actually didn't plan to ask anything from Wu Huang's mouth, such a question was just to throw out this topic, so after listening to Wu Huang's answer, he smiled and said: "The Lakers may or may not defend the title this season, but whether they win the championship or not, Phil will not stay in Los Angeles next season, do you know why?" ”

Emperor Wu suddenly understood what Dolan meant, and tried to ask, "Because of the family infighting?" He also always saw the media report on the infighting in the Bass family, so he knew that the Zen master, as the son-in-law of the elder Bass, had always wanted to get rid of the high-ranking Phil Jackson and his sister who was more capable than him.

James Dolan explained: "That's just part of the reason, Phil is a smart guy, the Buss family is infighting, Kobe Bryant and Gasol are getting old, the Lakers are destined to go downhill in the next few years, but he won't wait until the Lakers are out of competitiveness before leaving, so if the Lakers can win three consecutive championships this season, he can make a name for himself and leave with his head held high." But if he can't win the championship, Buss Jr. will take the opportunity to make trouble, and Phil will also leave with excuses, because he knows that after the Lakers go into a slump, everyone will miss him even more. I said before that he was a smart man, so he would know how to advance and retreat, so whether the Lakers win the championship or not, he will not stay. ”

Wu Huang now understood, although Dolan's words did not mention what this had to do with the Knicks, but he knew what Dolan meant, if Phil left the Lakers, then he would definitely come to the Knicks, because New York and the Lakers are just the opposite, they will get better and better, because his core is too young, the Knicks have the potential of a dynasty team, and Phil Jackson will not refuse the temptation to create another dynasty team. So, if he leaves the Lakers, he's bound to come to the Knicks, and he has nowhere else to go.

"I see." Wu Huang nodded, he knew what Dolan meant by inviting him to dinner today, this was to tell him the team's future plans, so that he should not rush to attack D'Antoni, because when Phil comes next season, the mustache will definitely be fired, and he doesn't need to be in a hurry.

Poor mustache, he didn't know that he was a pawn who would be abandoned at any time, Dolan asked him to coach just for an excessive purpose, hoping to use his whirlwind style of play to stimulate the ball market and help the Knicks enter the playoffs, by the way, to increase the team's young players to increase their tournament experience, and lay the foundation for the arrival of Phil or other famous coaches in the future, but he was destined not to accompany the Knicks to the end.

"My boss is so witty, I don't know when he will sell me." After Wu Huang left Dolan's house, he found that these bosses really regarded them as commodities, and the reason why he was accommodating and currying favor with him everywhere now, and even revealed the team's long-term team building plan to him, was it not because he was now useful?

Ten years later, when he is old, he will be kicked out of the door by the team without hesitation, anyway, this thing is not uncommon in the NBA, the business league always looks at interests, if there is interest, it is a friend, when there is no interest, who cares how much you have paid for the team?

"Human favor" is not absent in this alliance, but it is just a little less, Wu Huang feels that his usual character is so poor, he should not have such good luck to meet a boss who is nostalgic and not only for money.

"It's better to be in the Kuban! The Bass family is not bad, at least neither Buss Sr. nor Bass Jr. will sweep Kobe Bryant out of the house. Wu Huang now envies Now, when it comes to good bosses in the NBA, there are really few better than Cuban.

"By the way, do you want the little pop star to buy a team for me to play with?" Wu Huang suddenly had an idea, after he drunk the stinky girls a few days ago, he not only took the opportunity to enter the back door, but also set out her new album After it was released last year, she earned no less than NBA stars this year. Besides, how old is she, I'm afraid she will earn more than him in the future? And this girl dares to write songs on the album to mock him as a scumbag now, if he really earns more than him in the future, then he won't ride on his head!?

It's scary to think about! Wu Huang began to think about how to spend the savings of the little singer again, and now when he goes out to eat, he is letting Taylor Swift pay, which is very shameless!

On January 2, the Knicks finished playing the Spurs, and the No. 4 can finally return to their home court, this time against the Los Angeles Lakers led by Phil Jackson.

The Purple and Gold have not performed well this season, only hovering back and forth between second and third in the West with 24 wins and 11 losses, and they can't even sit in second place.

This season's poor record of the Lakers is related to the constant injuries of the little sharks, and Bynum is still unable to play today, this young center with great talent in height, arm span, and tonnage, but lacks important coordination and waist and abdominal strength in terms of physical talent, which makes him always injured and rarely full attendance.

Unlike Yao Ming, Bynum's coordination is not bad, what he lacks is flexibility, but both of these are key attributes for big men to get hurt, and usually the bigger the body, the more these two abilities are needed. If you don't believe me, just look at Duncan, Garnett and Bosh, who have good coordination and flexibility, and are not prone to injury until the age of 30. And Duncan, the two most talented, is still not susceptible to injuries until he is 35 years old, which shows that physical talent is far more than superficial things such as height, reach, and speed bounce.

Knicks fans and players are still confident in the face of the Lakers without Bynum, although this guy is not very easy to use, but the team that plays a small lineup like the Knicks is very set, not long ago the Heat can win the Lakers, but also because Bynum is not there, otherwise their even more pitiful interior line must be blown out by the Lakers Twin Towers!

Los Angeles and New York play each other, which is the focus of the four major leagues in the United States, because this is the battle between the first and second largest cities in North America, one is the world's movie mecca, the other is the world's financial center, these two teams have a lot of topics around the world to meet, and it is destined to be a feast that basketball fans around the world are paying attention to.

After the Lakers successfully defended their title last season, Kobe Bryant reached a new historical height, and some intriguing topics also emerged, such as whether the Purple and Gold can successfully win three consecutive championships, Kobe's status compared to Michael Jordan, and so on.

Every time these questions are taken out, they can make a lot of chicken feathers, causing fans to bite each other for days. However, Kobe Bryant and Jordan have one similarity that is worth mentioning, that is, they seem to have changed their personalities in the middle and late stages of their careers, and they learned the importance of teamwork "overnight", and since then their careers have been on the rise, completing the sublimation from star to superstar.

Let's talk about Jordan first, there is indeed a problem of being too strong in his personality factor, and the evaluation of a former Bulls teammate points out the key, "He himself is so good, it is natural to feel that others can't do something because they don't work hard enough."

Why did Jordan change after that? According to popular belief, it was the "Flyer" who had enough of fighting alone a few years ago, and at this moment, Phil Jackson, who had the secret of the "Triangle Offensive", appeared at the right time.

This kind of statement is a bit deliberately dramatic, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a routine made up by the alliance's star-making movement, which is very insincere. And the practical reason is that Jordan's later teammates are trustworthy - look at the ability of Pippen, Rodman and others, and then look at the coaching ability of Zen masters, you should understand that this is not the sublimation of a genius after an epiphany, but the team's strength is enough, and the arrival of the championship will naturally come naturally.

In the same way for Kobe, in the years when he scored 81 points, he did rely on himself more than his teammates, which was even regarded as an unbearable experience by some "Komi" afterwards. But in fact, if you appreciate Kobe Bryant in the last two years, you should have the same degree of respect for him during that time, because the essence of Kobe's ball path has not changed much. When his inside partner changed from Kwame Brown to Pau Gasol, it was natural for him to adjust his playing style, and it wasn't because of some bullshit epiphany that he finally won the championship because of some bullshit epiphany.

The same is true for the Knicks, Wu Huang's partner was changed from David Lee to Xiao Si, supplemented by Iguodala, Gallinari and O'Neal, etc., the strength of the Knicks has also been reached, and Wu Huang naturally made some changes to adapt to the whole team during this period, and they naturally got the results they deserved, in fact, everyone's style of play has not changed much.

Today's league has become a three-legged trend, with Kobe Bryant in the sunset, James in the daytime, and Wu Huang at eight or nine o'clock, the three of them have joined forces to inject unprecedented wonderful elements into the NBA.

David Stern is not to mention how happy he is to see the rapid and strong rise of Emperor Wu in the past two years, the script of 24VS23 in the past few years will be seamlessly connected to No. 14 VS 6, and in the past few years of the three-legged standing, the league can write a lot of wonderful and weird and painful scripts for the three of them.

Compared with the style of the first two, Wu Huang is a little difficult to describe, because his ball path will change from time to time, which makes it difficult for the NBA to deliberately create an image for him, because he sometimes plays several by himself like Kobe, and sometimes he will be like James who is desperate to throw the pot, and his desire for various data is temporarily stronger than the first two, it can be said that Wu Huang is a very complex contradiction, just like having a dual personality.

So let's talk about James, to be fair, the gorilla's ball skills are more inclusive than Kobe's, and they are more willing to accommodate their teammates into their winning mode, but this itself comes from the difference in basketball education and the difference in understanding the nature of the game, which cannot be forced in the first place.

James is often criticized for passing some key balls to his teammates, which shows that the NBA is ultimately a resultalist place, and there is no single clever way to win. If you can't win, no matter how you play, it's wrong. But as long as you win, of course, you can play it right. If you win the championship, even if the Big Five are all Justice League, if you lose, it will be an Injustice Alliance, and you will be pointed at by thousands of people.

Kobe Bryant, James, and even Wu Huang have been playing their way all the time, waiting for teammates who are suitable for this type of cooperation to show up - they haven't been so patient during this time, but when they do, they are the best, and others are not convinced. Wu Huang had the best luck, but James never waited, so he chose to take the initiative to find his teammates, and the three were essentially the same.

ESPN's pre-game evaluation of the Lakers and Knicks is similar, they believe that both teams belong to the role of talent above other opponents, one of which is intriguing: "There are usually two championship teams in the NBA, one is to prepare all the factors and take advantage of the best time to reach the top of the league, such as the Pistons in 2004 and the Heat in 2006, and the other is really a notch above other teams, even if there are some factors lacking, it can be smoothly won." For example, the Lakers in the past two years, and the Knicks and Heat this season. This can be understood as a "God-bless team" where the Lakers and Knicks are relatively unworkable and can kill most opponents with their talent.

Now that the two new and old "God Bless Team" are playing each other, the highlight is naturally which of them is more talented? Of course, the Lakers may be a little older now, and they may not be as talented as the younger Knicks, but the Lakers have a lot of experience, and this is where they have an advantage.

"A dead camel is bigger than a horse! Against the defending champions, we don't dare to have the slightest carelessness, and we don't want to have a four-game losing streak! Wu Huang's words before the game made Lakers fans very unhappy, what does it mean that a dead camel is bigger than a horse? Are they bad now? It's like the Lakers have lost three in a row.

The Lakers players didn't know that Wu Huang was mocking them on the other side, and they just praised the Knicks' 27-game winning streak not long ago in the pre-game press conference, and then expressed their confidence in winning on the road, and then it was over.

Zen master and Kobe Bryant are not very interested in the media, they are basically perfunctory and perfunctory, coping and coping.

When Wu Huang warmed up before the game, he found that there were fewer reporters who followed them in these games, and when they returned to the locker room to prepare for a game after the warm-up, their locker room was no longer crowded with people.

"It's good that way, it won't stink in the house." After Wu Huang returned to the locker room, he glanced at the staff, who immediately began to invite reporters out. Saying "please" here is polite, but in fact, it is to pick people up, and if you don't drive them away, the locker room can't be emptied for half a day.

D'Antoni has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he also feels that someone seems to want to drive him away, otherwise the spearhead will not be pointed at him after the loss, but he never guessed that it was Wu Huang who did it, and he thought that the general manager Donny was doing it, because it was this colleague who had been trying to drive him away.

But in reality, Donnie didn't want D'Antoni to fuck off that much! If Dolan really gets the Zen master next year, then he, the general manager, will be hollowed out, and Phil Jackson will ask to be the general manager concurrently, which is very likely to happen, at that time he will be at risk of losing his job, and the best result will be to become the deputy of the Zen master, how can he have the right now?

Mustache has to win today, and he plans to make good use of O'Neal, because he knows that against the Lakers, especially against Kobe, O'Fat will inevitably have a buff bonus, and he may be able to deliver an unexpected report card on the inside today.

Knicks starters: Wu Huang, Iguodala, Gallinari, Jr., O'Neal.

After Wu Huang and his teammates came out, they waited for almost ten minutes before the Lakers players were late.

Kobe Bryant also got cheers from the fans on the scene, and Wu Huang couldn't envy it, his fame was accumulated over more than ten years of career plus five championships, and he would get such cheers in most of the away games.

"This guy has won five championships, and he still expects to win the sixth? It's so beautiful! Wu Huang looked at Kobe Bryant who waved to the fans, and he was still very envious in his heart, that ring is the ultimate goal of all players, many people can't get one in their lifetime, but some people can't wear it with one hand, how unfair!

There is a guy in the T-N-T commentary room who is as envious and jealous as Wu Huang, ****** Barkley saw the high-spirited Kobe, his heart was naturally full of jealousy, and he couldn't help but say: "Kobe Bryant is still counting on winning the sixth championship, I don't want to pour cold water on him, but no championship team struggles so much in the regular season, they face the top four teams in the East and West this season with a winning rate of less than 40%, such a performance is very far from the defending champion, not to mention that this is an era of strong teams, Whether they will be able to emerge from the West is a question. ”

Kenny Smith originally wanted to mention the Rockets, because the Houstonians struggled in the regular season back then, but eventually won the championship, but seeing the jealous expression on ******'s face, this guy obviously didn't remember, but deliberately at the Black Lakers, he still didn't want to pull the back leg of his old friend at this time, and the slap in the face should be divided into occasions.

"I'm really happy for you to see you so popular away from home." When Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant shook hands, he said insincerely.

"Thank you! The 27-game winning streak has been fantastic, and you've completed a magical journey. Kobe Bryant couldn't help it, and Wu Huang felt that his tone was not sincere at all, anyway, he sounded like this.

Today's Lakers starting lineup: Fisher, Kobe, World Peace, Gasol, Bynum.

The Knicks didn't expect that the little shark who was supposed to be still recuperating from the injury actually came back, and D'Antoni didn't feel good when he saw Bynum playing in the warm-up before, but he didn't expect the Zen master to let Bynum come back, so many arrangements would have to be changed.

But the good news is that their big shark should be able to carry it, and hopefully this big shark can teach that little shark a lesson...... (To be continued.) )
