Chapter 068 Sworn Enemy Heat (2)

Pat Riley is racking his brains to figure out how to arrange his lineup, how to get more weight in the hands of his away rival Knicks, and now it is impossible to think about winning, but at least it can't be too ugly to die, if that is absolutely unreasonable. The grievances of many years cannot be said clearly in one or two sentences, although the current lineup is uneven, and if you lose ugly, you can't explain it to the fans.

Pat Riley is definitely a smart person, when the team is weak, he implements the pendulum, so that he can get good weights to enhance the strength of the team, and Wade in 2003 was obtained by Riley's pendulum, otherwise I would be sorry for Riley's name as a "god operator".

Although Pat Riley has thought of messing up since the beginning of the season, he has only started two games now, and he thinks that he can get a pick at next season's rookie conference, but he can't surrender right away, which is not only bad for the Heat market, but also bad for his reputation.

Riley has a fair complexion, a large back, his hair is combed back, gel cream is applied to it, and he looks meticulous in an Armani suit. Sitting in the away team's dressing room, constantly frowning. This coach who has a lot of connections with the Knicks, has countless glories in his coaching career, and there are only a handful of coaches who have more than 1,000 victories in the NBA league, and he is one of them, with only more than 1,400 games to achieve a thousand wins, which is unique in the league, and the former "Cardinal" Auerbach and "Zen Master" Jackson are as famous, which shows the depth of Pat Riley's skills.

Although this iron-blooded bishop has all the means, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the Heat has reached the time when it is not available, in 2000, there were Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Eddie Jones, Anthony Mason, Blatter Grant and other elite soldiers, but now Mourning is not in good health, Hardaway has retired, Mason is gone, and Grant's state has been declining, leaving only Eddie Jones to support the Heat, which is the so-called difficult to support the current situation of the Heat. Last season, the Heat won just 36 games, the first time in seven years that the Heat did not catch the playoffs.

The Knicks' locker room is now relaxed, the players are talking and laughing, even the long-suffering "hammock" Mr. Van Gundy looks relaxed and does not have the look of the past.

But there is one person with a sad face, staring at the big screen in the locker room, this person is Liang Xiao.

After a few games of experience, Liang Xiao gradually developed the habit of analyzing opponents, although the Miami Heat is not to be afraid of the entire Knicks, but it is a bad thing for Liang Xiao, because now the Heat's first scorer is Eddie Jones.

Eddie Jones, as the mainstay of the Heat after Mourning's injury, can average as many as 18 points per game, with a flowing style and tough defense, which is a big test for Liang Xiao.

Of course, having said that, Liang Xiao is just a substitute for the Knicks, and the main player like Eddie Jones is naturally Houston's counterpoint. But Liang Xiao never regarded himself as a substitute, and every time he would analyze the back line of the opposing team, so as to be prepared.

A soldier who never wants to be a general is not a good soldier, and Liang Xiao's belief in his heart is to defeat his opponent, even if he is a god-like flying man.

It's like there's no one around you, there's no voice, and all that's done is the Heat players running on the screen. Liang Xiao kept pondering.

The Knicks-Heat game was not broadcast live across the United States and was not broadcast domestically. The Knicks are full of veterans, the Heat don't have much passion, and they have long been at the bottom of the league's rankings, and this game is too exciting compared to strong teams such as the Lakers, Kings, Spurs, and Bucks, and only a few TV stations and networks broadcast it. ESPN broadcast the game again, commentating on Marvin Albert and former Knicks superstar Walter Frazier.

In the pre-game warm-up, although Liang Xiao has played two regular season games, he still feels his blood gushing at the Madison Square Garden Arena.

Madison's fans are the most passionate, and it's one of the best arenas in the country. No wonder I saw it on the Internet in my previous life and said that what Maddie wanted most was to play at Madison Arena.

Sold-out stadiums, sparkling screens, passionate fans, and DJs are all part of Madison's appeal.

Liang Xiao stood in the stadium, he could feel the eager eyes from all directions, and when he saw the jerseys hanging on the stadium, he made a voice in his heart, this is the place where I want to stay together, this is the place where I want to climb the championship, and this is also the place where I go to the Hall of Fame.

I have visited the Knicks here, but I don't have such a mood today, Liang Xiao also checked the jersey above the stadium on the Internet, although Liang Xiao was a fan in his previous life, but he still doesn't know enough about these celebrities of the Knicks.

The Knicks have multiple players inducted into the Hall of Fame. No. 15 above the arena, Earl "Pearl" Monroe, who played for the Knicks from 1972 to '80 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989, was an incredible shooter with a flashy style of play. He is almost the inventor of the "turn dribble", leaning on the defender to dribble and turn around and dribble for a layup in an instant, which is his patent. Another No. 15, Dick McGuire, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993 and served as the team's head coach and scouting director. Willis Reid, whose No. 19 jersey retired from Madison, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981. and Dave Debusschel, who was selected in 1982. With the addition of Patrick Ewing, who was later inducted in 2012, it can be said that the Knicks are the production machine of the Hall of Fame.

They are their own future, Liang Xiao looked at these retired jerseys and said in his heart.

The history of the Knicks winning the championship dates back to the seventies, although these years have had ups and downs, and even reached the edge of the throne, and finally had to be regrettably eliminated. The current Knicks are the tail of the Ewing era, and the future is their own.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, players on both sides enter the dressing room for final preparations. Albert and Fraser began their pre-match routine. Domestic fans who pay attention to Liang Xiao have also begun to sit on the sidelines and look forward to today's good show.

In the central part of the court, Li Shengnan and He Sheng, reporters of "Sports Weekly", also sat down.

"Look at how many points this guy can score today, he is more arrogant than anyone else during the interview." Li Shengnan still holds a grudge in his heart.

"I guess he will have good statistics today, the Heat is now a fish belly team, although the opposite Eddie Jones is very good now, but he is the only one. Liang Xiao will have a lot of opportunities. He Sheng said on the side.

In a VIP area of the stadium, there were also two people who were paying attention to the game, Mu Qingyu and Hathaway, who did not tell Liang Xiao before they arrived, wanting to surprise Liang Xiao.
