In the eyes of the outside world, two people with personalities and a strong desire to control meet each other, it will definitely be a tragic lose-lose ending.

D'Antoni even made no secret of it in front of the media: "Larry Brown is a manager I have a lot of respect for, so I would like to advise him not to go to New York because it's not a place where a manager is in charge." Even, the general manager and even the president can't control the scarcity. I admit that Xiao is very good, but he is too good, his good is full of aggression, this aggression will hurt other people, he will not consider other people's feelings at all, he will only insist on executing the tactics that he thinks is right. ”

When asked if Larry Brown could live peacefully with Chic, D'Antoni's head shook like a rattle: "No! never！ Chick is a personality who is in control, and Coach Larry is used to keeping the team in charge of his own board, so they are sure to be at odds with each other. And then...... Larry Brown will be kicked out of New York City just like me!! Now New York City is no longer the New York City that everyone is familiar with, and the whole city has become a smashing believer, which is terrible!! ”

When asked about his experience with the New York Knicks, D'Antoni immediately showed an unbearable expression, and he struggled for a while before confessing to the camera: "Actually, I don't have anything to do at the Knicks, and since Xiao Shi arrived, I feel like I've been isolated on the other side." I don't need to explain tactics in the dressing room, and I don't need to organize the players to watch the video before the game, anyway...... Everything was taken care of by chic. My only job is to be interviewed...... Sometimes, even when reporters ask me tactical questions, I can't answer them. I'm just napping on the bench! ”

D'Antoni said it was painful.

But the audience enjoyed it...... You don't have to do anything, you can get a high salary, and you can watch the game so closely. What's there to complain about? At least 90% of the world's population wants to get such a job!

For D'Antoni's remarks. Xiao Xiao did not respond. Donnie Walsh simply thanked D'Anthony for his contribution to the Knicks, and told reporters very clearly that the Knicks absolutely did not owe a penny in wages, and even paid a hefty termination fee when he fired him.

For Donny Walsh's words, most people believe it, because from beginning to end, the New York Knicks are not the master of the lack of money!!

And at the same time. Larry Brown also finally gave an exclusive interview to ESPN.

In this exclusive interview, he spoke for the first time about why he returned to New York: "I'm interested in chic, I've watched a lot of Knicks games. I think he has a lot of ideas about how to control the game. In some ways, I agree with him. So, when Donnie Walsh made me an offer, I said yes without hesitation. I want to get in touch with young people nowadays! ”

But D'Antoni says he is not an obedient player. He would rudely interfere with the manager's authority...... This was also complained about by McDonleavy before! ”

"I know. So, I wasn't the head coach of the Knicks. Larry Brown shook his wit.

But the host sitting across from him didn't laugh, he just continued: "Everyone knows that you, the consultant, are actually going to be the head coach, and the real identity of the head coach has been investigated by us, and he is just a talking physical trainer. ”

"Wow? Is it? The Knicks' sense of humor has improved dramatically in recent years! Rally Brown laughed.

"Are you really ready to get along with a prickly head like Stephen Marbury? As far as I know, when you were in the Knicks before. There were many unnecessary conflicts with Stephen Marbury. You've once submitted a privileged player like Alan Iverson, but you're a little more troublesome than Iverson right now! The host asked very seriously.

Larry Brown had been avoiding it in a roundabout way. And this time, he finally gave a positive answer: "I did have some unpleasant arguments with Stephen Marbury at the beginning, but I think it's all over now. Stephen Marbury sent me an extraordinarily long text the night before yesterday in which he apologized to me for what he had done wrong and also expressed a warm welcome to me coming back on board. I don't think you should look at the past, Stephen has matured, he is no longer the proud No. 1 point guard in the past. Now he actively assists the young chic and advocates positive energy in the locker room. And in the past, everyone liked to criticize him for his love of money, but in fact he was a very good philanthropist, and he gave up his salary of more than 20 million yuan for the last year this summer and signed a contract for only 24 million for three years. Knicks fans have re-embraced him, and I think the media's vision and reporting perspective should also be corrected! ”

Larry Brown earnestly makes a statement for Stephen Marbury, and it is clear that the prejudice between him and Stephen Marbury has faded over time.

But in fact, the ESPN host is more concerned about his relationship with Chick. As for Stephen Marbury's question, it's just a casual question, after all, everyone now knows that the Knicks are no longer Stephen Marbury's team, but a chic team.

"Actually, what we want to know more is, how are you going to get along with Xiao Xiao? Both of you are very strong managers, and if there is a collision, will you give in? ”

"I can't answer that question right now, but I think the biggest difference between me and D'Antoni is that ...... I'm a better defensive manager! Larry Brown played a tai chi again, and the meaning of his words was not only incomprehensible to the host, but also to the audience.

It's so hard for an old fox like Larry Brown to get something out of his mouth, and ESPN has to lose and can only continue to wait and see!

In fact. Larry Brown had already met with Chick before the interview, and it was still in training camp. The two just greeted each other in a friendly manner and didn't talk too deeply. After all, there is still some way to go before the start of the 09-10 season, and the training camp has not officially opened yet.

Then, Larry Brown sat on the sidelines and carefully observed the players in each training camp. Soon he came to the conclusion that he chose Yin Guiwei and Zhao Haodong, and Lei Jiayin also added a circle on his head. Then he found Donnie Walsh and told him that he must keep Yin Guiwei and Zhao Haodong. In addition, Lei Jiayin can also give an unguaranteed contract to observe carefully for a while. In his opinion, the first two are a good fit for the Knicks' tactical system.

However, Donny Walsh told him very helplessly: "Sir." I'd love to keep them too. But... None of them came for a tryout. They are all players who have been cultivated single-handedly, and they have come to train purely. ”

"What?" Rally Brown was very surprised: "Xiao Xiao still cultivates players? ”

"Don't you follow the Asian Championships? These four people used to be the sparring partners of the Chinese team, but then Xiao selected them and sent them to New York for special training for more than 40 days, and then they became members of the Chinese national team and won the final Asian Championship championship in a slaughtering position. All four will be drafted in the NBA next year. If there are no accidents, they will all be chosen...... The dashing eye is indeed very accurate. Donnie Walsh elaborated.

"I'm still underestimating chic!" Larry Brown sighed and gave him a deep look, a faint glint in his eyes.

At this point, Donnie Walsh said something very interesting to Rally Brown: "I think you can control Alan Iverson, and you can control Chick!" ”

Donnie Walsh tried to stabilize Larry Brown's confidence.

But Larry Brown shook his head, and then said seriously: "Alan Iverson is a very different player from Xiao Xiao. The things that got along with Iverson and caused me trouble and accidents were. He has too many shortcomings and bad habits. And getting along with Xiao Shi, I only feel that his advantages are shocking. ”

"So ......"

"So. I'll be a good complement to him. Larry Brown said with a smile.

"Assist?" Donnie Walsh was very surprised to hear this word, in fact, he was also worried about the conflict between Xiao and Larry Brown, which was very bad for the whole team to move forward. Although he hinted at Xiao Shao when he signed the contract, he didn't expect Larry Brown to say so frankly that he was here to assist Xiao Shao...... Is this still the stubborn head of the sect with eyes above the top?

"There's nothing strange about that." Larry Brown said with a smile, even raising an eyebrow: "I asked Mr. John Wooden about basketball tactics, so... Even though we are very different in age, we are actually classmates. And, don't you think he was very good at setting up tactically last season? I don't think the Knicks can make it to the second round of the playoffs under the control of a 'coach' like D'Antoni. There's no shame in being an assistant coach for a good head coach, and I'm not the kind of old stubborn who wants to save face! ”

As soon as Larry Brown said this, Donnie Walsh breathed a sigh of relief, and his most feared question was finally answered in the best way!!

That's great! As long as there are no problems with the coaching staff, the Knicks will definitely go more smoothly this season. Although the players are not equipped with luxurious equipment, fortunately, there is still a chance to strengthen in the middle of the season!!

On Larry Brown's seventh day in charge, the Jackals and Leopards returned home, and they were called up by the club separately to return to their new surroundings.

And Xiao Shi also received an invitation from ESPY to go to Los Angeles to attend ESPY's awards ceremony.

ESPY is the annual awards ceremony of the sports world by ESPN TV superstars, also known as the Oscars of the sports world.

Xiao Sage didn't really want to go to this annual awards ceremony, but deep down he wanted to meet Teresa! Although he knew that Teresa's phone would never get through, he ...... What if? It's always more likely to meet her in Los Angeles than in New York.

So, Xiao Sa didn't discuss with Barbara, but just informed her and went to Los Angeles.

When Xiao arrived in Los Angeles, the organizers immediately prepared a hotel for him to stay. But Xiao Xiao didn't move in because his house in Los Angeles was not sold. And he wanted to see Ranny Kuhn. Since the death of Mr. John Wooden, the only remaining benefactor has been Lenny Kuhn, the scout who brought him to the United States from a mountain village in China.

Ranny Kuhn has been living in his small cottage, but he is no longer employed. Because Xiao Shi gave him enough money and bought him a big house, but he didn't move in and still lived in his small villa.

When Xiao Shi came to his house, he was practicing in sweatpants on the small court in the yard...... Very focused, but the game is pretty bad. At least in the eyes of Xiao Shi now, it is really clumsy...... But then again. If it weren't for Lenny Kuhn, who had terrible ball skills, NBA star Xiao Xiao might not be able to move bricks on which construction site now!

"Hey, Lanny. Your red** is all turned out! Xiao got out of the car and walked straight over. Loudly joking with Lenny Kuhn.

Ranny Kuhn heard the familiar voice, and quickly turned around, and when he saw Xiao Shi, he was a little stunned. I didn't notice until the basketball bounced off the basket...... Bang!

He was hit on the head with a bang!

The impact finally brought him to his senses...... It turned out that the picture in front of me was not a dream. The big star and the rich man are back!

At that moment, he rushed up in ecstasy and gave Xiao Sa a big hug!

"Hey, stinky boy, I'm not used to seeing you in life. I thought our lives didn't intersect at all! ”

Lenny Kuhn was thrilled.

Xiao Sa felt it very clearly, because he found that the clothes on his chest were wet...... It's either Ranny Kuhn's tears or his snot!

"Hey! Lenny. This is my Givenchy shirt, it's very expensive! I'll wear this to the awards ceremony tomorrow!! Don't cry!! Xiao said exaggeratedly.

His words instantly made Lenny Kuhn wipe his tears and laughed: "You kid is still the same personality as before, it's too picky!" ”

"Haha!" A hearty smile. He walked inside, and said as he went, "I'll let you taste my cooking tonight." It's been a long time since you've eaten my Chinese food, right? ”

"Good! I really miss it! ”

Ranny Kuhn followed suit.

At this moment, an exclamation sounded behind him: "Wow! Oh my God!! It's chic!! Berry, look, it's a superstar! Do you remember? I've fought with him on this pitch!! ”

Xiao subconsciously turned his head to look!

The two of them had already run over excitedly, especially the slightly fatter white woman, who was particularly excited, and the black man next to her was also quite excited.

By this time, Xiao Shi had already recognized them...... These two men were the first hurdles Xiao Shi encountered in the United States...... They are from the Department of Immigration. He was almost escorted back to China by them, but fortunately, after only a week of contact with basketball, Xiao Xiao surprisingly defeated the black man, John Smith, who claimed to be a UCLA Meritorious Player.

"Hey, Xiao, can I take a picture with you?" As soon as the white woman named Berry came over, she excitedly wanted to take a picture with Xiao Shao: "I have told my friends many times that I know you, but they don't believe you. Now there's finally a chance to prove it!! ”

"Come on!" Xiao Chuang approached a little closer and put on a very kind expression. After dozens of group photos in a row. Xiao Sa reached out and shook her hand, but Berry excitedly gave Spark a bear hug.

"When you told me that you came to promote the development of sports in China and the United States, I still didn't believe it at all. I didn't expect you to be a super sportsman, and now your position in the NBA is a very strong driver of basketball in the Asian region. You are truly an amazing person! Berry complimented excitedly, showing that she was a little illogical.

For Berry's praise, Xiao Sang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat...... Because at the beginning, he was talking nonsense in order not to be caught by the immigration department, and he couldn't even dribble the ball at that time, but he dared to say that he was here to promote the sports cause of China and the United States! Fortunately, Berry believed it at the beginning, otherwise there might not be the current chic.

At this time, John Smith, who was slightly embarrassed next to him, also raised his mobile phone, and then said to Xiao Shi very embarrassedly: "Xiao, can I take a photo with you?" ”

"Of course, UCLA's Meritorious Defender!" Xiao said with a smile.

John Smith was even more embarrassed when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was so stupid at the beginning. I suspected you of being a stowaway! ”

"Huh." Xiao Sao smiled lightly, took his mobile phone, took a few intimate photos with him, returned the mobile phone to him, and then told him very honestly: "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed, because your suspicion at the time was correct." I didn't know how to play basketball at the time, I couldn't even dribble when I met you, but luckily I watched the video and learned how to crossover, and then I beat you! ”

"What??" Berry and John Smith both let out unbelievable exclamations at the same time. Ranny, who was in the know, let out a wry laugh.

"So, I'm actually very grateful that you didn't check it carefully in the first place, otherwise I would have really shown my timidity. In fact, the luckiest thing was that Mr. John Smith happened to be wearing a pair of leather shoes that day, and if he was wearing sneakers, I would probably have to be sent back to China. ”

"I can't believe you couldn't even dribble the ball in the first place!! But... I still lost to you, and it was really chic!! John Smith exclaimed: "But this matter has become the most bragging thing in my life!" Because I was your first opponent when I arrived in the United States, no other immigration officer had any experience of going head-to-head with you! ”

"So, it's all fate. Can you stay for dinner? Xiao Shi extended an invitation.

"Of course, this will be the most bragging point for the rest of my life...... After all, it seems that only Megan Fox in this world has eaten Chinese food cooked by you, and I am the second! Alas, it's a great feeling to be on a side-by-side with Megan Fox!! Berry excitedly agreed.

Obviously, she is a girl who loves to pay attention to gossip news...... Woman!
