Chapter 102: 21 Consecutive Wins

On December 12, major media in New York reported that Li Wei's goddaughter was fighting in the stadium, and then Li Wei was furious.

What makes the media even more special is that the "legendary" coach, who has set an unprecedented 21 consecutive defeats in the team's history and a career coaching win rate of 0, is actually the emperor of basketball, and also claims that the real strength of his team is 21 consecutive wins!

"The king of the dead country is still in his dreams!" It's a big headline in the New York Post!

"Is it a living white flag, or a dead king?" That's the headline of the New York Times!

In addition, seven or eight magazines also used the term "king of the dead country", and Li Wei's "emperor" name is real!

Knicks training gym where all the players and coaching staff are in a meeting.

Li Wei slammed all kinds of black newspapers on the table, and then looked at the people in the conference room without saying a word.

The atmosphere was very solemn, and everyone felt that this short manager, who had been playing bad and losing all the time, was really angry!

After a long time, Li Wei spoke: "All along, I don't care about the media's opinion, because the media is a bitch and likes to distort the facts." I don't care what the fans think, because the fans are short-sighted and can only be misled by the media.

But yesterday, my daughter came to play, and as you know, she got into a fight with other fans. I suddenly realized that I was going to be a good father, I was going to be a role model for my daughter, and I couldn't let the team lose again!

All of you here have made it clear to me today, from now on, the team has only one goal, and that is to win, and whoever dares to drag his feet to win will kick him in the ass! ”

"It's good, that's how it should be, it's too heartwarming to lose every day!" Herb Williams yelled.

"David, you made the right decision, the atmosphere in our team was not right last month!" Buck Williams chimed in.

Charles Oakley glanced at the young players in the team and said loudly: "Did you hear what the coach said?" Whoever drags the team back in the future, not only David will kick your ass, but I Charles will also play again! ”

Garnett said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not hold back!" ”

Nash, Charlie Ward and others saw Garnett's statement, and they also expressed their positions.

Chuck Daly said: "Yesterday David told reporters that we were going to win 21 in a row, and all the reporters took it as a joke and made a lot of sarcasm. I want to ask you guys, is this a joke? Alain, you speak first. ”

Alan Houston hesitated for a moment before saying, "Chuck, it seems like 21 consecutive wins have never happened, right?" Even our Knicks, the longest winning streak in franchise history, is only 18 straight wins. ”

Jeff Nick said: "It's hard to win 21 in a row, it's harder than winning a championship. Every year there are championships, but only one team has a winning streak of more than 21 years, and that is the 71-72 Lakers, who set an unprecedented record of 33 consecutive wins and won the championship that year. ”

Chuck Daley said: "Aside from that Lakers, the second-longest winning streak in the NBA is in the 70-71 season, which was set by the Bucks with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson, who also won that year. However, this record is only 20 consecutive wins, not more than 21! ”

Brandon Malone said: "It's our 18-game winning streak, right?" ”

Daley said: "That's right, the Knicks' 18-game winning streak in the red-headed era, in addition, the 81-82 Celtics, and the 95-96 72-win Bulls have also won 18 consecutive wins!" ”

Mike D'Antoni said: "In that case, 21 consecutive wins are almost an impossible goal. ”

Chuck Daley slapped the table and said loudly, "But we're going to make it, and we haven't tried, how do you know we can't do it?" ”

Jeff Nick said: "Chuck is right, I suggest that our slogan in the future is 21 consecutive wins, and if we don't play 21 consecutive wins, we will never give up!" ”

Li Wei said: "Chuck, old Jeff, thank you." I also agree to make a 21-game winning streak our slogan, and I ask you all, what is our goal? ”

"21 wins in a row!" Some players responded.

Li Weidao: "The voice is too small, answer me again, what is our goal?" ”

"21 wins in a row!" All the players replied loudly in unison.

"Very good, remember what you guys said today, from now on, everyone has to work hard for the winning streak!"

Big Z seemed to have something to say at this time, but in the end he didn't say it, just sat there and blinked.

Li Wei said: "Big Z, what do you want to say?" Don't be afraid, say it! ”

Big Z said: "Coach, then I'll say it." Can I remove the training time limit? I also want to be like everyone else, to practice a little bit more every day, so as not to delay the team's win. ”

Li Weidao: "This is not negotiable, I am responsible for your health!" ”

"Hahaha!" The crowd laughed.

Li Weidao: "Okay, that's it, let's go here, and then we have to train and prepare for tomorrow's game." Tomorrow, I will let my daughter come to watch the game, and I will be 200% motivated, and I can't lose the game! ”

"Yes, Coach!" All the players answered in unison.

On December 13, the Knicks played their 22nd and ninth home game of the season.

Knicks fans are still immersed in the atmosphere of the previous game, chanting "Li Wei is out of class", "Living White Flag", and someone's new nickname, "The King of the Dead Country"!

"Siqi, just sit here and ignore the fans who don't understand anything." Li Weidao.

The seat he arranged for Xie Siqi was the seat closest to the sidelines, and he could even stretch his legs into the field if he stretched his legs, which belonged to the special seats of famous stars, and he couldn't buy them with money.

Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan and great director, is separated by two seats from Xie Siqi. Seeing Li Wei coming, Spike Lee waved his hand and said, "Hey, David, we're going to win today!" Gotta win! The team has lost 21 in a row! ”

Li Wei said: "Don't worry, my daughters have come to watch the game, can they not win?" ”

Spike Lee shrugged, "She came the day before yesterday and got into a fight with someone else, and she didn't see us win!" ”

Li Wei said: "That's because she didn't sit here!" ”

"Godfather, are we really losing 21 in a row?" Xie Siqi asked.

Li Weidao: "Losing in a row, that's my godfather's deliberate mess, and if you want to win, it's also a matter of your godfather's words!" ”

"Really?" Xie Siqi blinked.

Li Wei said: "When did your godfather lie to you?" Just sit here and watch us win! ”

On the left seat of Xie Siqi is Xia Cuirong, the president of basketball affairs of the team, that is, her aunt, and on the right is a well-known star named Julianne Moore. The movie "Unruly Night" she starred in last year was very popular and is said to definitely appear at next year's Oscars. Well, it's a lustful romance film, and the male protagonist has an oversized one, ahem.

"Hey, little girl, your dad is so good to you!" Julianne said to Xie Siqi.

Xie Siqi smiled lightly and said in English: "Thank you!" ”

Julian said, "Don't you give your dad a kiss as a blessing?" ”

Xie Siqi's little face flushed, she knew that there was a kiss ceremony in the United States, but there had never been such a etiquette in China!

How can a girl kiss someone casually?

But looking at Li Wei's handsome face, she still leaned over, and at the same time thought to herself: "With my foreign sister next to me, I can't embarrass my godfather!" ”
