Chapter 288: A bloody battle
DeAndre Jordan said this kind of words at this time is undoubtedly a bit unethical, after all, everyone is an opponent now, and before the fight starts, he said the words of defection, isn't this nonsense?
But the Clippers players around them didn't find anything weird, because most of them thought the same way.
They have played with Xiao Sa, they have a personal feeling, and they know how cool it is to play with Xiao Sa, not only is the number of individuals good, but the team's record will also be thriving, just like the current Knicks, the scenery is infinite. Now the value of these Knicks' main players has risen a lot with this wave of winning streaks, and if they want to switch to other teams in the future, their salaries will definitely increase significantly.
Of course, they may not be leaving. After all, there is only one smash in the world!
"Xiao, I want to go to New York too." Elthoton also said extremely seriously.
"Me too!" Chris Carman said the same thing.
"Me too!"
ββ¦β¦β
One by one, they all surrendered like this.
It was a scene that Xiao Xiao didn't expect, and he didn't know how to answer his former teammates.
Just when Xiao was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, McDonleavy over there called out loudly: "Why are you staying over there? Come and train, you're players in Los Angeles now!! β
"Do you want to accept the punishment of the team!!"
McDonleavy's voice was shrill and shrill and apparently he didn't want his players to have too much to do with Chi.
When the players heard this call, although they felt extremely uncomfortable, they still walked back on their legs. After all. He's the manager. And he is also the general manager of the Clippers. It can be said that it is a position above ten thousand people under one person. If he really wants to deal with himself, it's a matter of minutes.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
DeAndrew, Jordan and the others had to turn around and walk that way, but Byron Davis stayed, who was now in a suit and still in the midst of injury. So, he didn't have to go to training.
However, McDonleavy still had no intention of letting him go. He shouted sharply, "Davis, why don't you come?" Do you want to accept the punishment? β
"You don't have the power to penalize a player on the injury list." Byron Davis turned his head to the side and yelled at McDonleavy with an unhappy expression, "If you don't like me, you're going to trade me." Anyway, I didn't want to play in this bad team and under a bad manager for a long time!! β
Byron Davis spoke sharply and did not give McTDunleavy face at all.
At that moment, McDonleavy was so angry that he pointed at Byron Davis and said viciously, "Okay, go against me." You wait to be sent to Minnesota by me. β
"Cut, what if you go to Milwaukee? It's better than staying under your hands. The whole world knows that you are an incompetent manager. The team can enter the top eight in the West under the leadership of Shaw, but you can only compete for the top pick. Do you know what Clippers fans have to say about you? They all say you're an idiot!! Byron Davis spoke sharply. Didn't give Dunleavy any face.
Davis had long wanted to tear his face with Dunleavy, and he had long been unhappy with him.
For Davis, he has earned enough money for his entire career anyway, and he is about to retire. No matter how much Dunleavy thinks about himself, it is nothing more than playing less and being traded to a poor country, anyway, the salary will not be less than a penny, and it is a big deal to buy out the contract and retire!
And Dunleavy really doesn't have any special means to subdue Davis, Davis is a star player after all, and he is so famous that he really wants to completely tear his face off the table with him, and the embarrassed person will take it seriously.
So, after glaring at Davis viciously, Dunleavy stepped over to the other side and didn't continue arguing.
After Dunleavy left, Davis gave Xiao Xiao a hug and laughed, "I knew you weren't such an easy player to knock down." Looking at your current cousin in the Nix, I am so proud of you from the bottom of my heart! When I think back to last summer, I really have an eye! I've unearthed such an amazing talent that I can't believe last year's man couldn't even dribble. β
For Xiao, Davis will always be his nobleman and his eldest brother. This relationship will not change in any way because he is now more prominent and worth more than him. So, he smiled and said, "Without your selfless help, I would definitely not have been able to achieve such a high level of achievement now." β
"Haha." Davis was still laughing heartily. Then he said: "Do you have any thoughts on tonight's game?" I don't think you're a person to swallow your anger. The Clippers treat you like this, you're definitely going to give them a little color, right? β
"Of course." Xiao Shi nodded, and then said: "I have been playing team basketball all this time, suppressing the number of words I have shot, and I have already ranked fifth on the scoring list." It's obviously not at the level I'm supposed to have, so tonight I wanted to have a scoring show. β
"Haha. You're trying to humiliate McDonleavy with a scoring record, right? β
"Maybe it's more than that." Xiao Sao deliberately sold a pass, and then said to Davis: "You go and tell the brothers to play hard, don't deliberately release water, I want to see a real game!" β
"I know, we're all professionals!" Byron Davis nodded, and then, he spoke again: "Xiao, if I buy out the contract, will the New York team give me a small middle contract?" I think New York needs an experienced and impactful defender, and Stephen can't stand 48 minutes alone. β
Yes?
When Xiao Sa heard this, he was a little surprised.
But then, I understood it again.
He didn't expect Byron Davis to be willing to buy out his contract and go to the Knicks, only to get a mid-level contract.
Generally speaking, players take the initiative to buy out their contracts, and the amount they can get is about 60% or 70% of the original contract, and a small middle-class contract is an annual salary of more than 3 million. Pecuniary. Davis's trade-off was undoubtedly a great sacrifice.
And as Byron Davis said. The Knicks really need an experienced point guard who can score and have impact. Although Stephen Marbury is now gradually releasing the second spring of his career, his body is finally past his prime, and he can't maintain a high level of confrontation for 48 minutes. And Byron Davis is undoubtedly a good addition, and his proposal for a small middle-class contract is not too much at all, and it can even be said that it is good and cheap.
"As much as I would love you to join, your arrival will quickly solve a big problem in our back line. But... Why? "I don't think there's any reason why you could give up a better salary and leave your hometown to get a small mid-level contract in New York, and you're still a key player here, even if you're not happy." But in the Nix. Your shot may be third or even fourth. β
"Don't you think it's a wonderful thing to play with someone you like? And I've got enough money, and what I want now is a championship ring. I think the Knicks have a chance to get the championship trophy. This optimism is built on you, and you have great potential. Byron Davis said firmly: "Half an hour after I got to know you, I decided that you were born for basketball." β
"Isn't money really important?" Xiao Sao asked curiously.
"At least for me now, championship rings are more important." Byron Davis replied very seriously, and when he answered this question, his eyes were straight into Xiao, very sincere.
Xiao Wan was obviously moved by this sincere look.
Immediately, he said slowly: "If you really want to join the Knicks. I will definitely do my best to get you a better contract for you. β
"Okay, then please." Byron Davis certainly understood what was in his words. His face was full of gratitude.
The two chatted for a while, and with the arrival of several reporters, Byron Davis left.
Of course, these reporters were interviewing Xiao Shi.
"Shaw, this is your first return to Los Angeles this season after being traded, and the opponent you are most familiar with tonight should be the opponent you are most familiar with, do you feel confident to win tonight?" All of them were sports reporters, and the questions they asked were very professional.
"No, no, no. The Clippers are clearly not the same Clippers I was familiar with, and the Clippers have shown a new vibe under the leadership of head coach McDonleavy, so it is completely new to me. As for whether he can win, it depends on how high Mr. McDonleavy is coaching, and as we all know, the Knicks are on par with the Clippers. β
Xiao Sa's words were very serious, but the reporters wanted to laugh one by one...... Xiao Xiao is so bad, he is completely satirizing McDonleavy's coaching level. After all, before Xiao left, the Clippers were seventh in the West, and now the Clippers are 15th in the West. At the beginning of the season, the Knicks and the Clippers were indeed brothers, but then things changed, and whoever had the dash was obviously a few notches stronger. Now it is the Knicks who have a dash.
"So, in your mind, is McTDunleavy coaching at a high level?" The reporter asked deliberately.
"Well, it depends on who you compare to. If you compare it to an elementary basketball coach, he should be at least an expert level. Xiao Xiao's answer was still serious, but the irony in his words had escalated.
And the reporters couldn't hold back their laughter anymore and let out laughter.
"So, do you think McDonleavy will play at a high level tonight?"
"Who knows? But I want him to play at a high level, because going into garbage time too early is not a happy thing for each other. β
Hahahaha!
The reporters' laughter was a little stronger.
Immediately, they went on to ask: "As we all know, you were abandoned by Los Angeles when you were injured. So, you must have hatred in your heart, right? So, you must want to teach the Angelenos a lesson in tonight's game! β
"There is no hatred at all. However, I don't mind teaching them a lesson. β
"So... What is the lesson? β
Xiao Shi did not answer directly, but raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the highest score of another No. 24 in Los Angeles??" β
As soon as Xiao Shao's words came out, the reporters were in an uproar...... They didn't expect that the routine interview before the game would dig up such earth-shattering information...... To surpass Kobe Bryant's solo scoring record, that's 81 points! Xiao Xiao this guy is not good, not only does he want to slap the Clippers in the face, but he also wants to provoke Kobe Bryant? At the beginning, Kobe Bryant said that Los Angeles will always have only one No. 24, is Xiao Ting going to give him a slap in the face tonight?
Oh my! I didn't expect this unsuspenseful game to have so many topics at once!
The reporters feel so happy!
So, after continuing the interview for a while, they hurriedly dispersed and went back to send a press release, and they had to release the news before the start of the game. Such... will have a sensational effect!
Fortunately, it's the age of the internet.
When their news was released, it quickly became a sensation.
All of a sudden, rumors that Xiao Po was going to break the record for the highest score of an active player instantly spread, and it immediately sparked a huge discussion.
Some are optimistic, some are flat, and some are more ironic.
ESPN is undoubtedly the least optimistic, so... They immediately adjusted their live streaming strategy and announced a live broadcast of the Knicks vs. Clippers game. And, they checked the Lakers' schedule for the first time and determined that the Lakers didn't play tonight and that the Lakers were all staying in Los Angeles. Kobe Bryant was quickly contacted and invited to the live broadcast room in Los Angeles at the highest price to participate in the live broadcast of the game.
Kobe Bryant was very, very angry when he heard the news, and he also felt strongly offended.
So, when ESPN sent in an invitation and offered a price he couldn't refuse. He directly agreed, he wanted to see how Xiao Sao was embarrassed in front of the whole American audience. He didn't think Xiao Xiao could really break his scoring record.
Although the Clippers are a bad team, a bad team is also dignified.
Now that McDonleavy knows about Chick's arrogant plan, he will definitely be crazy and not let him have any chance.
Although the Clippers are a little rotten, they are also an NBA team after all. Xiao Po wants to cut the highest score of active players in advance, which is undoubtedly a difficult task to get to the sky.
Xiao Sa obviously didn't expect his words to cause such a big sensation.
However, this is exactly what he wants.
Since the words have already been spoken, how can you gain a foothold if you don't play the points? Xiao Xiao doesn't want to be the kind of person who is ridiculed by Dampier!
In the dressing room before the game, Xiao said to his players very dryly: "Sorry, guys. You know my feud with the Clippers, too. When I was abandoned by them, I vowed to teach them a lesson. Now I've finally waited for this opportunity, so, tonight it's my fight with them, and I'm going to have to play a supernumber jΓΉ to prove my deposit. You guys just cooperate with my willfulness!! β
"What is a supernumber jΓΉ?" Eddie Curry asked, a little goofy.
"The supernumerical jΓΉ is... Break the scoring record for active players. I know it's hard, so I need your support! β
"Don't worry, idol, I will be on standby at any time to make a solid block for you!" Milicic was the first to express his loyalty, and after he had seen the chic 'pickling girl stunt' last night, he had completely surrendered.
"I always follow in the footsteps of Milicic!" Eddie Curry also hurriedly said. He is now Milicic's heartfelt younger brother, but Milicic dislikes him a little, thinking that he is a little stupid.
"I have my full support for you!!"
"And me!"
"And me!!"
"Boss, we strongly support you in overthrowing the Los Angeles people!"
"We're all in!!"
ββ¦β¦β
Soon, the dressing room was full of applicants. Xiao Sao has already completely regained the heart of the army, and there will be no second voice in the locker room except for him, and now what he is pointing to with his flag is the direction of the bloody battle!
β¦β¦β¦β¦ (To be continued......)
