Chapter 106: A heat wave hits

Drinking a cold beer on a March day comes at a cost, especially after a strenuous workout, and the irritation of the stomach makes the Knicks instantly make a big league joke. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"The flu?" People were a little panicked by the official explanation given by the Knicks, what flu can be so bad, there are 7 people in a team who can't play, except for the Big Apple, the remaining four people of the main force have all declared a truce, which is hard not to think of the legendary bird flu or infectious diseases such as influenza A.

Of course, only the Knicks knew that the reason why the players couldn't play was just gastrointestinal problems, because saying what was actually going on could have an impact on the team's reputation, so the Knicks had to announce that it was the flu that caused the players' injuries.

However, after this incident, people have a clearer understanding of the perverted physical fitness of the big apple, everyone drinks and barbecues together, and everyone else falls, but Li Chen, who has the most fun, is still standing there, which is really unfair.

The situation is more miserable than the Trail Blazers, so that the Knicks' next opponent Rockets instantly became the happiest person, the Big Apple alone with a group of Dolan I don't know where to find the third-rate small characters and the Houston people to fight, the result of the game is naturally that the Knicks lost, if this can't win, then it's time for the Rockets' head coach Adelman to take the blame and resign.

However, the New Yorkers do not seem to intend to complete the Houston victory, and the previous conflict over the Gallinari affair has not been resolved, and after this game, the New Yorkers humiliated the Rocketeers in a very mocking tone.

"With a team that doesn't even have a combined salary of more than 15 million, it took the Houstonians a full four quarters to secure a victory, and even outtook them in the third quarter, we can't think of where they got the courage to shout that they want to make the playoffs!"

Speaking of his side, the New Yorker instantly changed his face again, "Many people are curious about how strong the Big Apple is, and this game may be able to give a proper answer, when almost all the main players announced a truce, the Big Apple stumbled with the opponent to the fourth quarter with the efforts of one person!" ”

"57 points and 12 rebounds! If he is a god. I have no doubts! I believe that Jordan will not do better than him in this situation! ”

For the appreciation of the outside world, Li Chen was very low-key, "In fact, I can play such a performance, largely because of the carelessness of the opponent, they may have relaxed their vigilance because of our uneven personnel, so I seized the opportunity to bite the score, but as you can see, we did lose, obviously, I need my teammates." Hopefully those guys will recover from the flu soon! ”

In fact, the real situation is not what Li Chen said at all. It's a fact that the Knicks lost. But it wasn't easy for the Rockets to win, and it was inevitable to let your guard down, but that was only the first quarter, after that. Adelman realizes how difficult the Big Apple can be.

Two people are sandwiched, three people are sandwiched, all kinds of three indiscriminate tricks are used by the rockets, and even sometimes you can see that Li Chen is holding the ball on the outside, and the five people on the opposite side are all paying attention to this place at all times, you can imagine how difficult the defense Li Chen is facing.

For this game, the outside world did not give much blame. After all, the reality is there, basketball may be a one-person game at some point, but most of the time it still belongs to a whole team, and through this game, people have become more aware of the strength of the Big Apple.

Both for themselves and for their opponents. Such a situation is satisfying, with the former boosting confidence and the latter increasing vigilance.

Within the Knicks, Li Chen's outstanding performance was not appreciated by D'Antoni, because the unreliable teammates had confessed that the proposal to drink a cold beer on March Day was made by this guy, and in the end he survived, but the others fell.

To put it simply, Li Chen's bad idea directly caused the Knicks to lose a victory, originally against the Rockets, they had a lot of confidence to win the game, after all, the previous big win had given them enough confidence, and some people in the Rockets also had a lot of shadows in their hearts about the Knicks.

Fortunately, the 76ers also lost, the Celtics gave the 76ers a heavy blow, and the 13-point difference directly cut off the 76ers' idea of relying on this game to re-enter the playoffs, Iverson scored 26 points alone, but in the face of the 73 points sent by the Big Three, the power of the answer alone seemed so small.

Brand was knocked over again in this game, the Wolves sent 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks in the face of old opponents, but his actual performance was far from being able to be shown by the data, Brand was made worse than death by the Wolves throughout the game, not only only got 13 points and 6 rebounds, but the shooting rate also dropped directly to below 5 percent, compared to his annual salary of tens of millions, the 76ers' uniform team has the heart to commit suicide.

The Pacers won a victory, and Granger's near-triple-double of 21 points, eight rebounds and six assists helped the team to a victory over Rose's Bulls, and as a result, they moved up one spot and Indiana were temporarily on the same level as Philadelphia.

New York's next opponent is the heat wave in Miami, and while some players would love to sunbathe in the comfort of Miami, this is actually the home of the Knicks, Madison Square Garden will have a big heat wave, and the last year's scoring champion will lead his Heat away to take on the Knicks, who are currently the No. 1 scorer in the Big Apple.

Thankfully, the flu problem that worried New York fans has been resolved, and according to the Knicks' official information, in addition to the original few injured players, the other players who missed the game due to the flu problem will be able to return in the next game against the Heat.

Li Chen was lucky to escape punishment, because it was the end of the season, and the Knicks' current position was also awkward, so even if his behavior during the outing seriously violated the team rules, the Knicks only issued a painless internal fine in the end, and the amount was only $10,000.

Li Chen took it upon himself to donate the fine to the local welfare institute in the name of others, and the Knicks also acquiesced to this practice, after all, they don't look at money, Li Chen's personal attitude is the most important, and the positivity he showed in the game against the Rockets can already make people forgive his previous naΓ―ve thoughts.

The game was held at 5 p.m. local time, and the arena was very lively, and the great director Spike Lee sat in the front row as usual to cheer on the Knicks.

"Come on, Cruz, just like the last game. the natives from Miami and let them honestly roll back in the sun! ”

Fortunately, this is the home of New York, and the voice of the big director is not loud enough, otherwise, such rude language is likely to attract a violent beating in other places, and it is difficult to guarantee that the big director will not be knocked from behind if he goes back to Miami.

The head coach of the Heat team, Stella, looks very Miami, with Filipino ancestry, he is very in line with the aesthetics of Miamins, and his wheat-colored skin makes him naturally pleasing Miamins, especially this year's Heat's record is very good. This makes Stella's days even more moisturized.

In the lineup. The Miami has carefully opted for a regular lineup. The center was one of the protagonists of the Auburn Hills palace incident that year, and most people still prefer to call him O'Neal Jr., if it weren't for the sensational brawl that year, this guy might have won the championship.

But there are no ifs. After missing that opportunity, O'Neal Jr. went further and further on the road to a championship, and the Pacers' disintegration made him choose the Heat, but this year's Heat obviously did not have the appearance of a championship.

The Heat's big front is high-quality blue-collar Haslem, this guy has always been one of the backbone members of the Heat, even if the Big Three later gathered in Miami, Haslem still sat firmly in the starting position, his rebounding guarantee and solid defensive skills are not ignored by any coach.

The Heat's young predecessor is Michael Beasley, who has a good relationship with Li Chen, and his big appearance in the rookie game has made him praise Li Chen all the time. However, although the relationship is good, the single game is still a game, and Beasley obviously will not do anything about releasing water.

Of course, Li Chen is not so low that he needs his opponent to release water to win, although Beasley was the fiercest person to compete with Rose for the top spot. But now, the Heat forward has been thrown a few streets away by the Roses, who are now firmly in the position of the Bulls boss, while he is still Wade's younger brother, and his poor off-court performances have made him less popular in Miami.

The Heat's guard line is Wade and Carlos Arroyo, who have not changed for thousands of years, but according to the recent situation, Stella has a tendency to support Super Mario to the top, although Chalmers is only a rookie, his three-point level has been recognized and reused by Stella.

On the Knicks side, Chandler, Harrington, Li Chen, Hughes, Curry, is almost the main lineup, it turns out that Harrington can make up for David Lee's position, of course, promoting him to the main team means that the Knicks' bench strength declines, after the injury of the small potato, D'Antoni can only count on Battier and Thorton to be able to organize the offense of the bench lineup, as well as Milicic, the victory cigar has also been heavily used by the mustache recently.

"Attention, the Heat can pose a threat to basically O'Neal Jr. and Wade, pay attention to defense, of course, I don't expect you to be able to defend against Wade, as for O'Neal Jr., I believe it is not difficult for Tyson!" The mustache looked at Chandler, hoping for an affirmative answer.

The boxing champion did not disappoint the coach, and he vowed that it might be difficult to change the previous one, but now O'Neal Jr. has long been at the end of his strength due to years of injury, and Chandler, who is honest and fighting, has no reason to be afraid.

"I'm announcing that guy is finished, even if he used to be a superstar, now it's our territory!"

Chandler's statement won him unanimous applause, although it is a bit tasteless to use an outdated star to boost morale, but for the sake of victory, there is not much to worry about, especially for a player like O'Neal Jr., who has a lot of topics, it is a pity not to make a fuss.

Many people may not know the technical characteristics of O'Neal Jr., but when it comes to the right punch that hit the invading fans, I believe many people remember it vividly, O'Neal Jr. paid a 25-game suspension for this, and he may also pay a championship close at hand.

Artest, Reggie Miller, the Pacers of that year were a very champion team, but unfortunately in the end, because of O'Neal Jr.'s break with Artest, the Pacers in the fighting period finally ended with Miller's retirement and Artest's transfer application.

Perhaps the matter between him and Artai is irreparable, after all, the latter is recognized as wonderful, but for Miller, O'Neal Jr. has always maintained respect from the bottom of his heart, and when asked about Miller in an interview, O'Neal Jr. said, "It is the regret of my life that I didn't get a championship ring for Reggie, because he taught me too much, and I owe him too much." ”
