The coaching staff and the players are absolutely convinced of Xiao Sao's individual scoring ability, because Xiao Sao's ability is unstoppable. At least in one-on-one defense, no one in the Knicks team dared to pat their chests and say they could defend. In fact, it was proven before Xiao joined the Knicks. At that time, Xiao Sao scored 66 points effortlessly, and no one could stop him from taking the head of the army of ten thousand!

However, D'Antoni has a slight opinion about Shaw, who seems to be too focused on going it alone.

So after the team training match, D'Antoni called Xiao to the side: "Xiao, do we have to pay more attention to the team's cooperation?" Although I know that you are very strong in singles, but if one day you don't feel good, or you encounter a bag ............"

Before D'Antoni could finish his words, Xiao Xiao understood what he meant.

"I know what you're trying to say." Xiao Sa smiled and said very directly: "In the confrontation just now, I did show more in individual attack. But... We're playing fast offense right now, and if we don't have a very, very good point guard, we can't and can't play a beautiful combo offense. You know better than I am that Chris Dujon is not Stephen Nash. So, before we don't have a good point guard, I think what we should do more is try to make some simple and effective pick-and-rolls, and then let the scorer who is more sure of it attack the opponent's basket. Because the more complex the combination, the longer the time, which is not in line with our purpose of attacking quickly. ”

Xiao Shi's words are analyzed from his point of view.

After hearing this, D'Antoni frowned and thought about it. He felt that there was some truth in his chic words. But at the same time, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. For a moment, he couldn't make a more accurate rebuttal. So he just said: "Tactics do need to be run-in." There will be some changes to the squad in the future. So, let's slowly look for a more correct way of playing. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Shi nodded.

D'Antoni isn't a particularly top-tier manager, but he's not low, at least not much higher than McDonnelly. Moreover, his greater advantage than McDonleavy is that he is not a particularly controlling head coach, nor does he have the domineering idea of those who follow me and those who oppose me die.

"We're going to face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, are you ready? The knights are not a very weak team! D'Antoni patted his shoulder and smiled, "I still hope you can win your Knicks debut." It's going to cheer up the whole of New York City. The city's basketball fans are in desperate need of a victory to soothe their wounded hearts. ”

"Now that they've all taken me as a savior. Well, there's absolutely no reason for me to lose my first game. Chinese like to pay attention to the beginning, and of course I will start my new journey with a victory. Xiao said quite confidently.

"Don't be too underestimated, but the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James are now second in the East. And we're only thirteenth in the East. D'Antoni poured a basin of cold water lightly, he didn't want to see Xiao Shi fall badly because of pride.

"It doesn't matter who we play against, it doesn't matter what we rank in. The important thing is that I want to win, I have to win. Xiao replied very directly and crisply.

This is not a bit of mud and water, and the information revealed is one sentence: Lao Tzu wants to win.

This is very domineering. Undisguised.

D'Antoni couldn't help but be a little stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Po to be such a strong player. But now he sees it.

He felt that the rest of his days with Xiao Po must have been an interesting experience, as he has always been a gentle manager.

While the two were communicating, LeBron James was also asked in an interview with reporters about the game against the New York Knicks: "The next opponent of the Cavaliers is the Knicks who just recently brought the strongest rookie to the Knicks, do you think they can make trouble for you to hit the first place in the East?" Also, do you think the Cavaliers can limit their score? ”

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is, whether he's the best rookie or something else? I don't pay much attention to it because we just want to win, we don't care about anything else. LeBron James said arrogant words with a sincere face. It made him look very serious.

"Don't you have a special tactic for Xiao Xiao?" The reporter continued to ask, trying to come up with something different.

But James still had that sincere expression, and still said so arrogantly: "I don't think it should be particularly grand to treat a rookie, maybe he can get a good number of jù, but the game is five." I've always believed that individual ability should be compromised for the whole team, and that's my attitude towards basketball. ”

James's words are tantamount to implicitly belittling Xiao and not understanding team basketball.

And before he responded to these words, there was already a ruthless response from his former teammate and Clippers center, Chris Kaman: "I don't know what James is talking about in basketball, is he trying to say that he is very selfless and Xiao only knows how to fight alone?" Then I have to be honest with him, Shaw has never been an individualistic player, and his knowledge of the team is stronger than that of LeBron James. In terms of teamwork, LeBron James is better than Xiao Xiao, and it is only his assists that are more beautiful. As for blocking and dismantling for his teammates, running for his teammates, and destroying the defensive system for his teammates, James has nothing to compare to Xiao. Finally, I would like to say how does LeBron James' basketball attitude sound so much like an Adidas advertising slogan? If I'm not mistaken, James should be Nike's biggest star, right? ”

Chris Carman's counter-attack is on point, and every word is a sharp attack on James.

Adidas is a very sharp company, it quickly captured this reply, and immediately used its own channel resources to spread it widely. No doubt. They wanted to use the remarks to promote their products. By the way, disgusting Nike Inc. as well as LeBron James. After all. The competition is five people, this has always been Adidas's advertising slogan, Nike's advertising is just-do-it!!

James obviously didn't expect that his remarks would be caught by Adidas, let alone be amplified. This is undoubtedly a huge disservice to himself and Nike. So, he was furious. Although the person who attacked him directly was Chris Kaman, he poured out his anger on Xiao Sa, who he felt was the source of this qiē hatefulness.

So after arriving in New York, he once again reaffirmed his position. That is, we must take the victory from New York, and we must hit the first place in the East.

James repeatedly announced that he was going to take the win, completely ignoring the Knicks players' thoughts and not taking the New York fans into account. It seems that in his mind, the Knicks are just a piece of fish lying on the chopping board for him to slaughter.

Xiao Dash obviously couldn't accept this definition of a weak person, and he didn't want to be the poor creature who was wantonly bullied.

However, the rest of the squad doesn't seem to care too much about this, and they seem to have long since gotten used to the feeling of being used as a winning cash machine. For them, the game is nothing more than clocking in to work and watching their opponents take the win to the cheers of their home fans.

For failure, they have become almost completely numb.

"Hey. James. Your arrogance has reached my toes, and I have not granted your request for victory. ”

Xiao Sao finally responded the day before the race.

It was his only response. Very simple sentence.

But it shows his attitude and his momentum.

In an instant, the smell of gunpowder before the game was pushed to the extreme.

Although Xiao is a rookie player, the Knicks are recognized as a big bad team. However, since Xiao Xiao has made a sound, no one dares to underestimate it, because this guy has created a lot of miracles, he can always create a battle situation where the weak defeat the strong, and many games that are called impossible to win have been reversed by him.

So, some of the pressure was shifted to Cleveland.

And because this is the first game of Xiao Sao to join the Knicks, and it is also the first voice he made on behalf of the Knicks, it has received a lot of coverage from the New York media, which is the largest metropolis in the world and has many media with strong appeal. So under their reporting, not only New Yorkers are well known, but the whole world is also surrounded by this public opinion.

So, faintly, there was a feeling that a world war was coming.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Public opinion has reached the extreme, and Madison Garden, which was originally not bad, has long been hard to find, and scalper tickets have been speculated to sky-high prices. After all, this is a dashing first battle, and it is also a battle with LeBron James. has created so many eye-catching topics before the game, and the smell of gunpowder has been strong to the extreme, such a century war, such a talent duel, can it not attract the eager pursuit of fans?

In the face of such a surging tide of public opinion, Xiao Xiao is very calm, still practicing and watching the Cavaliers' videos simply.

At this time, Stephen Marbury was very worried about Xiao: "Xiao, aren't you nervous at all?" Now that public opinion is so high, if you lose and fail to defend your home victory, you will be met with a lot of abuse. ”

"Oh." Xiao responded very blandly, because he didn't think about losing at all.

"Don't you know the horrors of the New York media? These people are too good at manipulating public opinion, they can easily lift you up to the altar, and they can easily send you to the eighteenth layer of hell. That's how I got ruined. Stephen Marbury reminded Xiao Dash with great concern in the attitude of a passer-by: "You shouldn't be so impulsive. The city of New York is all too realistic. ”

Stephen Marbury completely regarded Xiao as his own, and he was afraid that he would repeat his mistakes, which is why he was so worried and nervous.

"Don't worry, Stephen. With your help, how could I possibly lose? Xiao patted Stephen Marbury on the shoulder, and he put some of the pressure on it, hoping to stimulate Stephen Marbury's fighting power.

Seeing this, Stephamabry nodded, and now it can only be like this. (To be continued......)
