After chatting with a few elderly people for a while, some old people walked into the ward. Only then did Li Wei know that today was the day when the Knicks' veteran players made an appointment to visit the old coach together.

Holzman took Li Wei's hand and said, "Mr. Li, come, let's see if you recognize these guys!" ”

Li Wei glanced at it and immediately said, "You are Walter Fraser!" You're Earl Monroe! ”

Fraser is one of the NBA's 50 superstars, the two-time Knicks' point guard in the '70s, and the Knicks' all-assist record. Monroe is a shooting guard and is also one of the top 50 superstars. The two of them are known as the Knicks' Rolls-Royce luxury backcourt. Frazier's No. 10 jersey and Monroe's No. 15 jersey were both retired with the Knicks.

Now, after retiring, Fraser and Monroe are both working as commentators, responsible for commenting on Knicks games!

Jeff Nick pointed to the two taller old men and said, "What about them?" ”

Li Wei thought for a moment and said, "Oh, they're Dick Barnett, and Bill Bradley!" ”

Dick Barnett is the main small forward of the Knicks to win the championship in 70, and Bill Bradley is the main small forward to win the championship in 73. Dick Barnett is No. 12 and Bill Bradley is No. 24.

After Dick Barnett retired, he got a job as a physical education teacher at St. John's University. Bill Bradley entered politics and now serves as a senator from New Jersey.

As a politician, Bill Bradley's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Wei, a wealthy man, and he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you think about this public education issue, medical insurance issue, and poor children issue?" ”

Li Wei said: "Bill, as long as it is a problem that you think should be solved, I will approve of it." You can name as many sponsorships as you want, and just go to my secretary and get a check. In the future, if you continue to run for the Senate or for president, I will fully support it! ”

Bill Bradley said movingly: "Mr. Li, thank you so much, society needs caring people like you!" ”

Jeff Nick said: "Bill, you save it, people are giving Mr. Holzman face!" ”

Bill Bradley said: "Mr. Li, you came to see our coach today?" With a boss like you, the Knicks will be better tomorrow! ”

Li Wei said: "Thank you for your auspicious words!" ”

At this moment, another old black man squeezed into the hospital room and muttered, "Sorry, damn it, it's stuck in traffic again." ”

Li Wei laughed and said, "I know this, he is Mr. Reed!" ”

Willis Reed is one of the NBA's most legendary centers and the first person in history to win the Most Valuable Player (MVP) title in the All-Star Game, the regular season and the Finals in the same year (1970). The Knicks won the championship twice, he was the core and mainstay of the team, and his No. 19 jersey was naturally retired from the Knicks.

On May 8, 1970, the finals between the Knicks and the Lakers entered a white-hot tie-break, Reed had been injured in the G5 game, and the G6 was suspended, but in the face of the imminent opportunity to win the championship, he stood in the opening of G7 with an injured leg, and twice scored on Chamberlain's head jumper.

Although the confrontation between the two centers lasted only a few moments, his actions inspired all Knicks players, and the Knicks were born with the first championship in team history. Later, when the NBA's official website selected the greatest moments in history, "Reed Returns" once ranked second.

However, it is precisely because of the hidden dangers left by that forced comeback that Willis Reed has been injured since then, and has never found his former self. After retiring from the game, he served as assistant coach, head coach and now senior vice president of the New Jersey Nets.

"Oh, the new owner of the Knicks, I've always wanted to meet you, why don't you contact our Nets when you sell Ewing and Big Mom? If you contact us, we're going to be a better bid than the Timberwolves and Suns! Willis Reed leaned over and shook hands with Li Wei.

"Haha, I'll definitely contact you next time I have a chance."

Li Wei raised his face and shook the other party gently, but thought in his heart: You bid high? What are you bidding for?

It's not that I said, there are really no people in your team that I can look at!

"God, why did you come so early!" Another gray-haired old man squeezed in.

This white-haired old man, who is also a member of the Knicks championship, is just a role player, responsible for playing Reed and Big D off the bench, and it is impossible for the team to retire his jersey. But Li Wei is more familiar with him than other celebrities, because he is the greatest coach in the NBA, Zen master Phil Jackson!

In his previous life, Phil Jackson was the Lord of the Rings in the NBA, and he had a full thirteen rings, two of which were played as a substitute in the Knicks when he was a player, and eleven were obtained as a head coach!

In the field of coaching, he is truly the first person in history!

"Phil, you're so slow!" Bill Bradley went up and punched him.

"Phil, you're out of luck, when are you coming to coach the Nets?" Willis Reed leaned over to shake his hand.

"No matter how good he is, he was also my substitute back then, even if he became a coach, he was more than 20 years later than me!" Big D laughed and said.

"Dave, don't show off your youngest coach in history in front of me, I can blow you up ten streets right now." Phil Jackson also laughed and high-fived Big D, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Back in the day, when everyone was a player, he could only sit silently on the bench, constantly reciting Holzmann's tactics, while expecting Reed or Big D to be substituted off the court, and then go up and play for three or five minutes.

But now, his former teammates are old and retired, and he is the only one who has grown into the hottest coach in the league!

There are too many things in a person's life that cannot be expected, but only hard work can achieve success!

If he hadn't worked the bench back then, how would he be where he is today?

"Phil, you're here too?" Holzman said in a slightly muffled voice.

Phil Jackson sat down next to Holzman and said loudly: "Coach, I'm here, I always remember your teachings back then, and the five championship rings I won with the Bulls are half of yours!" ”

Holzman said: "Don't be satisfied, try to win the sixth, seventh, and eighth crowns!" ”

A glint of gloom flashed in the corner of Phil Jackson's eyes. In the eyes of others, the Bulls won the fifth championship with an unstoppable momentum, and the next six and seven crowns seemed to be in their hands, but he himself knew that the Bulls' situation was getting worse and worse.

Next year, Jordan will be 35 years old, Rodman will be 37 years old, Ron Harper will be 34 years old, Pippen and Kerr will soon be 33 years old, and the average age of the team's main players is terrifyingly high!

Of course, playing with a group of old men is secondary, and the key is that the team's general manager, Klaus, does everything against him. If Jordan hadn't threatened Klaus, saying that he would retire if Phil was cut, I'm afraid the No. 1 head coach in history would have been laid off by now!

"The sixth crown, I'm afraid it's the limit." Phil Jackson thought silently.

However, he would not say these things to Holzman, only held the other party's pale hand, nodded and said: "Coach, don't worry, I will try to win more championships!" ”
