Chapter 139: Ade's Road to Fame

The sky of New York is still sparsely covered with snowflakes, the earth is already covered in snow, the road covered with snow is poured and condensed by the wheels into a thick layer of ice, the weather is cold, the ground is freezing, the road is slippery, and all the bad environment still can't stop people's holiday carnival.

The Madison Square Garden arena was crowded, and the emotional fans either held up the heads of Anthony, Rose, or Porzingis and danced in the audience, and even a few fans held up Wang Zhuo's self-portrait and swayed from side to side, because in the minds of the Knicks' loyal fans, Wang Zhuo is not only the head coach of the Knicks, but also a generation of idols.

Every Christmas game is broadcast live in the United States, and the Knicks and Spurs game is scheduled to be the first game by the league, followed by the Warriors and Cavaliers, and as for the remaining Celtics and Bulls, Clippers and Lakers, the attention is relatively weak.

At 1 p.m. New York time, the game officially kicked off, with TNT broadcasters Charles Barkley and Reggie Miller on hand to narrate the game.

"Charles, I vaguely remember when you left the Suns, you were faced with two choices, one was the Houston Rockets and the other was the New York Knicks, why did you choose the Rockets with Hakim Olajuwon instead of the Knicks with Patrick Ewing? Do you think Hakim's thighs are thicker? ”

The pre-match seasoning arrived as scheduled, and Miller was the first to open up, mocking Barkley's failure to hug Olajuwon's thigh.

"Reggie, I'm getting less and less in love with you, you're as annoying as Shaq, well, I'll tell you the truth, no one wants to have someone on the team who smells like them, like Patrick."

Barkley is a very entertaining commentator, first complaining about Miller's poisonous tongue, hacking O'Neal by the way, and finally even the legendary center Ewing of the Knicks.

"Really? Tim and David don't think so, and I'm thinking if you choose the Knicks, and you partner with Patrick in the '99 Finals, against Tim and David, I don't know what it would be like? ”

Miller continued to dig holes, and Duncan and Robinson were dragged into the water one after another, but it was very clever to connect the grievances between the Knicks and the Spurs.

"I never cry over spilled milk."

Barkley's eyes widened with rage, mimicking Ewing's tone and appearance, and vividly paraphrasing Ewing's most classic words in response to Miller.

ps: This sentence is a classic sentence that Ewing said to reporters at the retirement ceremony, saying that he never regrets the decision he made.

"I just don't know if LaMarcus is impressed by your words?"

Miller is still expanding the fire, and Aldridge, one of the Spurs' cores, has also been hit.

"Well, Reggie, I blame you, in fact, you are getting more and more like me."

Barkley was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be in awe of Miller's skillful use of ancient and modern tricks, of course, Barkley was known for his thick skin, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to sell himself and boast.

Miller is actually alluding to Aldridge's jump out of contract for the championship and switch from the Trail Blazers to the Spurs, but the Western Conference semifinals were defeated by the Thunder, and the Trail Blazers lost several major players and still reached the Western Conference Finals.

With the pre-game seasoning out and the game entering the preparatory stage, Miller and Barkley announced their starting lineups for the first half, with the Knicks unchanged and the Spurs Parker, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol and Kyle Anderson.

Five minutes later, Noah and Gasol were preparing to jump the ball in the center circle, and the moment the referee's whistle blew, they threw the ball into the air, and in the face of his former teammates, Gasol showed unprecedented toughness, relying on the keen judgment of the alert court smell, and took the lead in grabbing the power of the first attack for the Spurs.

Parker held the ball, carried the defense and dribbled to the frontcourt, and after reaching the top of the circle, Parker directly handed the ball to Leonard, cut inside himself, and did off-ball cover.

Leonard's ability to attack on his own was relatively weak, and after dribbling two steps with his back to Anthony, he lobbed the ball to Aldridge on the inside, and then turned and ran towards the top of the circle.

Aldridge was 15 feet to the left of the basket, in his shooting comfort zone, only to see Aldridge with his back to Porzingis, dribbled twice, shook his shoulder, and then suddenly turned over and made a jumper, and the ball traced a good trajectory and fell steadily into the basket.

With perfect back-to-back singles, a standard roll-over stance, the right timing of the shot, and a shot point that is difficult for defenders to reach, Aldridge's low-post attacking skills are breathtaking.

Wang Zhuo sat on the bench, and couldn't help but applaud Aldridge's shooting, if Wang Zhuo stepped into the NBA for two seasons, he would definitely not let go of the best opportunity to compete for Aldridge, of course, it is too late to say this, Aldridge will not leave the Spurs in a short time, and the Knicks also have potential stock Porzingis.

Before Anthony Davis entered the league, Aldridge, Griffin, Love, and Cousins were once called the best and best four power forwards in the league.

There is no doubt about the excellence of the four players, but to evaluate the order, Wang Zhuo will not hesitate to vote for Aldridge in the first place, because compared with Griffin, who likes explosive dunks, Lefou, who catches the brush with both hands, and Cousins, who has a hot temper and extremely low efficiency, Aldridge is better in terms of offensive skills and dealing with people.

Some people say that Aldridge has a hard life, and there is indeed a certain amount of truth, not to mention the bumpy and rugged fate of Aldridge before and after his birth, just from his growth process after entering the league in 06 is enough to explain all this.

Aldridge was selected by the Trail Blazers as the star of the 06 list, and has always been unknown, and then the Trail Blazers selected Oden as the hope of the team's revival, as well as the flash in the pan of Brandon Roy, in the minds of fans, Aldridge has always played the role of a three-leader in the Trail Blazers.

However, Aldridge has no regrets, and does what he can diligently, perhaps God rewards hard work, in Portland, which is known as a city cursed by the devil, and the Trail Blazers are rampant veterinarians, when Roy and Oden fell at the foot of injuries one after another, Aldridge survived, quietly took over the scepter of the team boss, and led the Trail Blazers to move forward in the groping.

With the arrival of Lillard, the Trail Blazers finally rejuvenated and returned to the ranks of the strong team, all thanks to Aldridge, a player can go from three masters to a star, which is a miracle in itself, and it can be said that he has God's mercy.

Perhaps Aldridge is accustomed to his usual low-key style, and when Lillard grew up to be responsible for the team, he did not hesitate to step down and make way for the Spurs, who chose a Spurs team with a similar style to himself, and played a role that he didn't know how many masters to gallop towards the O'Brien Cup.
