Chapter 067 - Mortal Enemy Heat (1)
During the three-day break, Liang Xiao trained with the Knicks, especially after practicing with Sprewell, he found that he got a lot of benefits, and the next day he also pulled together for sparring, and Sprewell was very big.
But fortunately, the relationship between him and Liang Xiao is very good, as the so-called brothers have carried guns together, not to mention that they have fought side by side together, and they have the experience of going to have fun together, which makes Sprewell have no complaints in his heart, otherwise he would not practice with Liang Xiao, and always carry out those three moves, which will annoy anyone.
In addition to training in the training hall, Liang Xiao also trained these three skills hard in the talent training ground, as if he would not give up if he didn't eat this thing thoroughly, fortunately Liang Xiao's perseverance was deep enough, otherwise it would be a boring thing to practice these three skills day by day.
Liang Xiao did not give up on his business dream in addition to training. In my previous life, I remember that many famous figures in the NBA played the second game and even the tertiary industry, such as Yao Ming advertising after the game, and later carried out stocks and team operations. Whether they have more money and have nowhere to spend it, or they want to get more money, the reason is not important, what matters is what they want to do.
The first thing Liang Xiao thought of was the construction of the website, which was more influenced by the previous life, as an ultimate otaku, the website is his only pastime, plus he likes basketball, NBA players in their previous life liked to publish their status on Twitter, but now in 2002, Twitter has not yet come out, there is no such heat as the later life, so that the big shark O'Neal chose to announce his retirement on Twitter.
But I don't have the skills, but if I have a lot of beautiful knives, and I come from a previous life, I have a lot of ideas that are ahead of the current 2002 idea. Liang Xiao checked Twitter and the later very famous Facebook on the Internet, but there was no information, because none of these were born now. Fortunately, Liang Xiao still remembers the leaders of Twitter and Facebook in the past, Evan Williams and Mark Zuckerberg, these two people were also because the two famous social networking sites in the mainland could not be directly logged in in his previous life, so he dedicated Baidu to live two websites.
Now Liang Xiao is just going to prepare to do his homework, and see if after Mu Feng finds an agent for himself, let his pockets bulge and start to proceed.
But now the question is how to make yourself more famous, more famous, so that you will have the capital to make your pockets bulge, the only way is to use the current opportunity to let yourself go to a higher peak in the basketball world, only then will others notice you.
The three days passed quickly, and the Knicks ushered in their first home game of the 02-03 season, and it was also Liang Xiao's first game for the real Knicks.
This time Bix played against the Miami Heat in the same district, the Knicks and the Heat are two entangled teams, and years of grievances have made them stare at each other like two jealous women, and neither one looks at the other. Over the past few seasons, the teams have faced four matchups in each season, not to mention a clash in the playoffs, making the two teams bitter rivals.
In 2002, the division of the NBA division was divided into six divisions, but in 2002, there were only four divisions: the Atlantic Division, the Central Division, the Midwest Division, and the Pacific Division. At this time, there are a total of 29 teams in the league, and only 8 teams in the Central Division are 7 teams in the other three divisions.
It just so happens that the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat are in the Atlantic Division, and two home and two away games can make the two teams sparkle at a time, not to mention the playoff battle.
The most noteworthy feud between the two teams is the 98-99 season, in this shortened season, the Knicks entered the playoffs as the eighth in the East, and finally created the "Black Eight Miracle", the first team in NBA history to enter the finals as the eighth seed, but finally fell before the "Twin Towers" combination composed of "Admiral" David Robinson and "Stone Buddha" Duncan.
In this playoffs, the two teams have been grudges for a long time, and this time it is even more fueled. In the first round, they met the Heat, who advanced to the playoffs as the first in the East, and in this series, there was the famous Van Gundy hugging Mourning's thigh. Towards the end of the first playoff game, the Knicks' Larry Johnson slammed Heat center Alonzo Mourning, and Mourning punched and the two got into a fight. Van Gundy ran into the field as soon as possible to pull the rack. In order to protect the player, he hugged Mo Ning's thigh in a hurry, but was dragged a few meters away from the floor by the tough Mo Ning. After the game, reporter Buck described: "For a moment, Jeff was even taken off the floor by Mourning's feet, like a hammock. Since then, Van Gundy has been nicknamed "The Hammock." With sunken eye sockets and bloodshot eyes, this brawl made fans remember the image of this New York vampire forever.
The most dramatic is that 4.5 seconds before the end of the last game, the Heat led by 1 point 77-76, the Knicks launched an attack, and Houston, the "king of shots", pretended to make a jump shot, so as to deceive the Heat's defenders and then directly dribble the ball to the basket on the right side, and finally used a rarely used throw, killing the Heat.
This had to make the entire Heat feel depressed and ashamed, they definitely had the ability to cut the Knicks down in the first round of the playoffs, but their carelessness and underestimation of the enemy hurt them. So much so that a super tough guy like Alonzo Mourning has only won the championship once in his professional career. But it's impossible to say for sure that players like Barkley and Moses Malone haven't gotten it once.
However, the 2002 Heat is not to be feared, the Heat's center Alonzo Mourning was found to have severe kidney failure in 2000, and had to miss the entire 02-03 season for surgery, the Heat's pillar fell, and the Heat's sky was dark.
Although Mourning played 75 games last season, he still couldn't salvage the Heat's failure, and it's the same now. In 2002, the Heat used the No. 10 pick in the first round to select Caron Butler, a man of the league who later became the league's biggest man, but now he is still a rookie, and he has no super lethality at all. The current lineup, except for Eddie Jones, who is still working hard, is a rabble, although the Heat has head coach "God Operator" Pat Riley, they still can't escape the fate of being ravaged by others.
Liang Xiao knows that the Heat's performance this season is extremely bad, but it is its badness, in the 2003 draft, they selected the "Flash" Wade with the fifth pick, which also prompted the Heat to continue to grow stronger, but this is a later story, and the current Pat Riley is now facing the Knicks with an extreme headache.
The Knicks have a two-gun combination after Ewing, but after Mourning, he seems to have nothing, walking, old and old, injured and retired, this is the current Heat.
