Chapter 121: Bloodbath in Madison Square Garden VII

If you don't want to be looked down upon, then you can only work harder.

New York is a big city, there is no shortage of ball markets, what is lacking is only players who can carry this glory.

Since the departure of Ewing the 'Gorilla', New York has not recruited superstars, and now the biggest star in New York is Marbury, if you want to count, it was Anfernee Hardaway who was once the 'Jordan's successor', but the injury took him straight from the altar, and the injury has always been a problem that the player can't get rid of.

The team has no big names, no supergiants, but the city has no shortage of fans, not to mention that the game is full, but the fan attendance rate can reach more than 90% per game, which shows how big the New York fan market is, which is why the New Jersey Nets are doing everything possible to move the stadium to New York.

In a big city like New York, it's perfectly fine to accommodate 2 teams, just like Los Angeles, and at the same time, with 2 teams, the Lakers and the Clippers.

Knicks vs. Pacers!

This is a big battle in the eyes of Knicks fans, not for anything else, but because the Knicks have the 'public enemy of New York' Reggie Miller, as Knicks fans, they will never forget that night in 1994, that night Miller completely hurt them, and they still remember it vividly.

Although, more than a decade later, the resentment has not diminished in the slightest, and as long as Miller has not retired, the resentment will continue.

This game was no exception, the scene was full of fans, and the game had not started for more than half an hour, but the game was crowded with Knicks fans, who held all kinds of placards, cursing Miller, and when Miller came out, the boos for Miller, or the boos for the Pacers, also reached the peak of the game.

Listening to this boo that can almost pierce people's eardrums, the fat man also understands why Miller is fully prepared every time he hits the Pacers, and he doesn't dare to slack off, playing in this kind of arena, being sprayed by so many fans, all kinds of boos, not to mention playing on this occasion, even standing on the court feels Alexander.

Playing here, you're not playing against one team, you're playing against the pressure that the entire Knicks fans are putting on you.

A large part of why there is so much emphasis on home-court advantage in the NBA.

That's why it's important to have some players who are obviously doing very well at home but can't open them away from home.

Boos are only part of it, there are some extremely extreme fans who will provoke you and disturb you on the sidelines, and this part of the people is represented by Spike Lee, a guy who is a director, many people may not know about his movies, but no one knows that he is the number one fan of the Knicks, and he must be there every game, and he is also Miller's biggest enemy in the league.

Miller's trademark 'chokehold' was also done to him.

The New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers game is ready to start.

In the pre-game warm-up, Miller tried his hand outside the three-point line, which was not very good, and he came directly to a three-no-stick, Spike Lee, an old guy who was idle and had no, also sprayed Miller wildly, "Reggie man, what's going on today." ”

Yes, how could Reggie, the guy Sparklee, turn a blind eye, and glared back, looking extremely fierce.

It's good that he didn't stare at it, this staring, the boos on the scene pulled out a wave of ** again.

There's one of the benefits of playing at home, and it's nice to hear the fans recognise once you've scored.

The game was about to kick off, Knicks coach Lenny Wilkens called all the Knicks players, the scene was loud, he was also tearing his throat, and yelled at the Knicks players: "While the Pacers are not here, this is still our home court, we have to win them, Jamal Reggie is handed over to you, you mainly defend his three-point shot." ”

Jamal Crawford nodded when he heard Lenny Wilkens, assuring me that it was up to me, and he looked extremely confident.

Miller may not have a bad three-point shot, but the years are a pig-killing knife, and now Crawford is confident that he can defend him.

"In addition to Reggie, there's another newcomer to be aware of, Jermaine is not there, he's the core of the Pacers' interior line." Lenny Wilkens continued.

Lenny Wilkens said this, and a big black man on the Knicks' side also stood up and patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry! Sir, leave that rookie to me. ”

"He's not a simple newcomer, he's strong. Kurt, you're sure you can do it. Lenny Wilkens re-emphasized.

"Of course." Kurt Thomas is confident.

Hearing his assurance, Lenny Wilkens didn't say anything, he had great trust in Kurt Thomas.

Lenny Wilkens is a famous coach in the league, his historical status can be ranked in the top 10 in the history of the league, the winning rate of the coach's games is more than 50%, and he still has the championship in hand.

Kurt Thomas naturally has the capital to be valued by Lenny Wilkens.

I don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to defense, no one can't help but give him a thumbs up.

Kurt Thomas has "crazy eyes" and "dirty Kurt", not that he is super talented and talented, on the contrary, his talent can only be said to be average, his height is not high, and his tonnage is not very sufficient.

He's able to play one-on-one against most of the big men in the league and is an excellent role model for other interior players when it comes to defensive awareness. He has played Duncan, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Garnett, even against sharks, he can cause enough trouble for sharks, he is not afraid of this word in the dictionary of his life, and he has a history of having his ribs broken.

The fat man was also enough for him to drink a pot.

Before the game started, Reggie also came over to remind the fat man, "You have to pay attention to Kurt, he is very dark." Watch out for him. ”

The fat man didn't pay much attention to it, it doesn't matter if he's black or not, now that this game is going to play, he still wants to abuse him, black is better, so that he doesn't have too much burden in his heart, but for Reggie's kind reminder, the fat man also said, "Thank you." I'll take notice. ”
