Chapter 278: As a Gunman
Kuban's words shocked the four.
Every Mavericks player was stunned by Cuban's heroism.
Villa! How much does it cost!!
Although everyone is not short of money, the value of a villa is enough to make them salivate.
As a result, the morale that was still a little sluggish immediately rose, and the players began to gear up.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and material is always the greatest driving force in the world, and few people can resist the attack of sugar-coated cannonballs.
Although Johnson felt that the boss's words might lead the players to rush to single-handedly scare, but... He didn't want to do that, and if he could play, he would be the first to take off his suit, change into a jersey and go to hang out. It doesn't matter if it's shaking or not, anyway, as long as it falls, it's going to make a lot of money.
The Mavericks' bench was filled with the smell of material things and the restlessness of money.
The Knicks were calm on their side, everyone talked and laughed, and Xiao reminded Eddie Curry a few words, asking him to save his body a little.
Eddie Curry's physical condition has not recovered to his best after all, although the high-intensity confrontation can make him lose weight quickly and find his previous physical condition, but it is more likely to make him injured.
Now that Eddie Curry has gradually become the Knicks' interior barrier, his penalty scoring is also very important for the Knicks. Therefore, if he is injured, it will have a big impact on the team, after all, now that the Knicks are attacking the playoffs, any lack of power is something that Xiao does not want to see.
Drip!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
The Knicks players walked onto the court with easy steps, for them right now. The mindset is relaxed. The pressure is all on the Mavericks' side.
But. For the Mavericks players, they don't feel any pressure.
In other words, the pressure from backwardness has been far suppressed by the driving force of the villa, and their eyes are now shining, waiting to teach Xiao a lesson.
As soon as Xiao Shi came on the field, he felt their hot gaze.
It's clearly all for itself.
Yo ho!
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking at this group of wolf-like calf players, with a look of disdain.
Subconsciously, he looked behind the Mavericks bench. At this time, Kuban was also looking at Xiao with pride.
The eyes are intertwined.
Slim and hidden, he stretched out a middle finger.
The middle finger dodged the eyes of the referees, but fell into the eyes of Cuban just right.
Seeing this, Cuban was a little crazy in an instant, and immediately yelled at the referees: "Hurry up and punish him, punish him!" He did indecent gestures to me!! ”
The referee was particularly uncomfortable with Cuban's yelling, and he didn't like to be interfered with by people on the sidelines.
At that moment, he said impatiently to Cuban: "Please be quiet and watch the game, I have the right to send you off the court." I don't care if you're a billionaire or not, you don't have privileges on the court. You have to follow the rules! ”
The referee's words suddenly made Cuban even more unhappy...... I was offended, but instead of being justice. Instead, he was taught a lesson, which made him how to stand it.
However, in this stadium, the referee is indeed a man of his word, and even if he is the owner of the team, he can forcibly change his decision.
Therefore, he could only swallow his grievances.
Cuban was wronged, but Xiao but very proudly squeezed his eyebrows at him.
Kuban hated it so much, but he couldn't rush up and give Xiao a punch. Moreover, he is not very confident in his boxing strength, what if he is beaten up violently? ?
Now, if a Mavericks player rushes up and punches Xiao, Cuban will definitely pay for him, pay a fine for him, and not deduct a dime from his salary.
It's a pity that the Mavericks don't have such a good guy among the players!
The pace of the game was slightly disrupted, but it quickly got into the right track.
Jason Terry also seemed to have come out of the shadow that was dangling, he actually took the initiative to ask for the ball, and then singled out the chic.
Jason Terry's posture was very adequate, and after he received the ball, he arrogantly hooked his hand.
This provocative move of his immediately earned him a full house
Every Mavericks fan was cheering him on at the top of their lungs.
Every Mavericks fan present saw the picture of Jason Terry being dangled to his knees before, and they all secretly felt sorry for Jason Terry. Fortunately, now that Jason Terry is on his feet, he announces in the most manly way he is up.
Xiao saw Jason Terry's provocative movements, and also heard the shouts and cheers of the audience.
He is not a fool, and of course he understands what this qiē means...... Jason Terry wants to get back on the field!
It's just that since the field has been picked, how can it be easily recovered?
Jason Terry didn't understand this, he was in a passionate mood right now, and he felt that he not only wanted to erase the previous shame in this round, but also to take advantage of the situation to get the boss's reward.
Jason Terry is full of ambition, but his strength is not enough to support his strong ambition.
Because, very quickly, Xiao Xiao pressed up. Dash directly gave Jason Terry the most pressing entanglement defense. Chick's height is already taller than Jason Terry, his arm span is even more terrifying, and his footwork agility is also amazing Jason Terry, coupled with excellent defensive awareness.
In an instant, Jason Terry was locked up.
It was less than two seconds before he hooked his hands and provoked.
Jason Terry never dreamed that this rookie's defense would be so terrifying, it was simply like a shadow, more kraft candy than kraft candy. He can only step back, but the court is not the Pacific Ocean, there is always a border.
Soon Jason Terry was forced to the sidelines!
Jason Kidd hurried over to respond, hoping to get a pass from Jason Terry, but Marbury was also waiting by the side.
And, most importantly, Jason Terry didn't dare to try to pass the ball. He felt that Xiao's terrifying long arm would intercept his pass at any moment.
People are able to burst out with amazing thinking skills in the immediate and urgent situation. The same goes for Jason Terry.
He had a flash of inspiration. quickly found a way to alleviate this dilemma...... If you don't break it, you can't stand it, put it to death and live later!
I saw that when he had no way to retreat and no pass, he suddenly jumped away, and then smashed the basketball into Xiao Shi with lightning speed, trying to get the ball again in this way.
His idea is very clever.
But... He underestimated Chick's IQ!
When Xiao Shi studied with Mr. Wooden, the first thing he learned was the rules on the basketball court.
With arguably the greatest man in the history of basketball as a teacher, how could Xiao Xiao travel on a business trip on the rules?
He had already thought about this situation when he had driven Jason Terry to his death.
So. By the time Jason Terry leaps high and smashes the ball over, he's ready...... Eh, the preparation of the catch!
Burst!
The basketball that Jason Terry smashed steadily fell into the hands of the slick hands.
After receiving the basketball, Xiao Sao did not quickly launch a fast attack, but smiled at Jason Terry, who was full of astonishment: "Thank you, your pass is fast and accurate!" Sure enough, he deserves to be the best sixth man! ”
The chic thanks are full of 'sincerity', but this sincerity falling into the ears of Jason Terry is the ultimate mockery!
The taunt made Jason Terry bitterly angry.
However, there was nothing to be done.
And at this time, Xiao Xiao did not stop his taunting skills, after he handed the basketball to Stephen Marbury. He deliberately shouted to Kuban on the sidelines: "Hey, big boss." This player isn't enough to shake me off. Is there anything more powerful, otherwise, your sports car will not be able to be delivered! ”
The chic mouth has always been damaged, and it has become even more severe on the court.
Kuban was so angry that his nose smoked.
But there was no way to settle accounts with Xiao Shao, so he had to vent his anger on the referee: "He provoked me so much, don't you blow him a technical foul?" ”
The referee was silent.
He didn't want to bother with this kind of gossip, and he felt that Xiao Xiao was not wrong, he was just stating a fact. The most important thing is that he has long seen that this wealthy Maverick boss is unhappy, and always likes to roar on the sidelines to interfere with the referee's law enforcement, and now there is a player who can make him eat and hold back just to relieve his previous depression.
The referee's indifference made Cuban even more uncomfortable, and he felt that he was being treated differently.
But what can it be? Do you have a fight with the referee?
It's a fool to do that.
Cuban was just angry and a little impulsive, and his IQ was fairly normal. Therefore, he did not take any action and forcibly endured it.
Xiao Sao didn't dwell too much, went all the way, and after reaching the front court, he still ran for half the court. At this time, the Mavericks have already used joint defense, which is relatively useful for curbing the dashing run.
However, the dashing arsenal is not only a weapon that runs without the ball to create gaps for his teammates, but also has sharp breakthroughs.
When Xiao Xiao broke through sharply with the ball, the entire Mavericks' defense was stirred.
Because almost everyone wants to take the risk of being shy, and they all want to teach squash a lesson.
After all, a lesson is a villa!
When all the defense is accumulating on your side, it's no wonder that you don't pass the ball!
As soon as he passed, it was immediately an empty space.
It was easy, and Jeffries scored on a mid-range jumper!
Seeing that his carefully arranged defense situation was destroyed by Xiao Xiao so lightly, Johnson had 10,000 grass and mud horses floating by in his heart, but he didn't dare to burst out half a foul word. Because the person who caused this situation is the boss, the Kuban. It was Cuban who promised everyone's villa to make everyone's eyes utilitarian, so the focus of defense was on one person rather than the entire Knicks.
Johnson is very distressed now, because if he continues to play like this, the Mavericks will definitely lose in the future.
However, if you offend your boss because of this incident, it will not be easy to keep your job. You know, the management has been unhappy with itself for a long time, and internal rumors have been circulating that they want to replace themselves.
At this time, it is better to obey the boss.
I hope the boss can do his best to get out of his personal hatred for Xiao!
Johnson prayed silently in his heart.
However, his prayer was not yet finished, and the dashing man who ran over had once again aroused hatred!
"Hey! Who are you going to use to single me out this time? Is it still this sixth man who can't even protect the ball? The chic words were full of frivolous provocation.
"......" Kuban glared angrily. But he couldn't give an answer in his mouth. Jason Terry is already the best player on the pitch at breaking through.
Then. His heart missed Devin Harris infinitely. If that guy is still ...... Maybe you can use your speed to teach this guy a lesson.
Devin Harris of faraway Brooklyn sneezed suddenly, and he didn't know who was thinking about him. But if he is allowed to make an enemy of Xiao Shi, unless he puts a knife on his neck.
Jason Terry finally learned to be obedient this time, although he was not convinced, although he was unhappy, although he was angry. But he also knows that he is not enough to pose a threat to this rookie on both ends of the floor, and this guy's strength has completely surpassed himself.
It was a sad truth, but he had to admit it.
He didn't want to use his humiliation to try his sloppy abilities again.
And because Jason Terry is no longer single-handed. The other players were very smooth with their tactics.
The Mavericks' tactics are inherently steady, and when they are steady, it's still good.
Nowitzki ended up throwing in the basketball. But it wasn't easy, because Milicic was very tough!
Back in the half, Xiao Shi was still breaking through sharply, and the Mavericks players were still staring at Xiao Shi with fire in their eyes trying to teach Xiao Shi a block lesson, but Xiao Xiao was not so stupid, he still passed, and his teammates still scored easily.
Since Cuban's involvement, the game is clearly no longer in normal mode.
So. A team owner who loves basketball is a double-edged sword for the team, and he can give the team the greatest support. At the same time, he can also affect the team's progress because of his likes and dislikes.
Kuban was completely blinded by the scarcity of pulling hatred.
The Knicks, on the other hand, have used this time to improve by leaps and bounds.
Time passed very quickly, and by the end of the second quarter, the Knicks had a 22-point lead. This is still based on the fact that Nowitzki hit 8-of-11 shots tonight, and if it weren't for Nowitzki, the Mavericks would have been beaten down long ago.
However, now the situation is not far from lying down.
"Hey, do you know why your team is so far behind?" Before returning to the locker room, Xiao Shi made a special greeting to Cuban.
Kuban didn't speak, his instincts told him that Xiao Wan must have wanted to stimulate himself. Because before this, I had been stimulated by him many times, and I was almost numb.
"The answer is because of you!!" Xiao Shao took two steps closer and said very directly: "You think that your material encouragement can make your players work harder to defend me, and then up." But... I didn't shoot much in the first half, I only scored eight points. The other 54 points were all scored by my teammates. And what about the Mavericks? They only scored 40 points in total. This is where there will be a brave man under your reward!! ”
"If I were you, I should cry and feel guilty right now, if it weren't for your wealth, you might still have hope of winning. But now...... Hehe! It's a lost one! ”
"You must be curious to know why I sued you for this, right?"
"Sue you after the fourth quarter!"
Xiao Xiao put aside these words and strode to the locker room.
At this time, Kuban fell into deep thought...... Is it really because of me that the team is so far behind? Is it because my words make the players only focus on defending and neglect the defense of the rest of the Knicks??
He thought and thought in his head, and began to have a vague answer.
To be more sure, he asked the assistant next to him, "Is this really the case?" ”
Before his assistant could answer, the fans behind him had already answered: "I think that New York kid is right, we have a big problem defensively. Sometimes we know he's not going to attack, but our defensive focus is still on him. You give a wrong reward at the wrong time, and the whole team's defense goes into the wrong mode. ”
The fan's words were echoed by everyone around him.
But why did Xiao Wan sue me for this? He's not so kind-hearted, is he?
Kuban frowned, and he fell into another suspicion.
Fortunately, he didn't get bogged down in this doubt for long, and he decided to fix the mistake he had made before, and he ran quickly to the locker room.
Arriving at the locker room, he quickly announced the new reward strategy: "Listen, guys, I think my previous reward gave you a false hint that made you think you would only get the villa if you got it right. Although it was my intention to teach Xiao Xiao a lesson, winning was the most important thing we had tonight, and we couldn't afford to do anything about it. So, the new bonus policy is that if we can come back and win in the second half, I'll give each of the best three players a five-year right to use a sports car. ”
"I can't wait for you to win this fight!"
"I swear, I've never hated a player so much."
"I can't accept that pesky player taking away our victory at all!!"
“……”
Cuban left the locker room after a bit of chatter, and he handed over the time to the head coach, who he hoped would come up with a set of tactics that would contain the Knicks, and that he would be able to make an immediate comeback and overtake him immediately.
This is a strict task.
When he walked out of the dressing room, the same question that had come to his head again...... Why did Xiao Sao sue me for this? Why do I always feel like it's a conspiracy?
This is indeed a conspiracy.
But in fact, it is also a conspiracy that cannot be simpler.
The simple conspiracy is that Eddie Curry on the inside is tired, and it will be difficult for him to be productive anymore, so it is almost impossible to appear on the court next. The other main players also had problems with their bodies because they played fiercely against the Rockets last night.
Therefore, the next offensive banner of the Knicks must be carried by Xiao Sage.
And if the Mavericks continue to play at that inhumane level of defense, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to score.
So, he told Kuban about this qiē in order to create a more relaxed scoring environment for himself.
Apparently, he succeeded!
Kuban was once again used as a gunman -
(To be continued......)
