Stephen Marbury had a rough time and felt like the whole world was working against him.

Originally, New York was his hometown, his birthplace. He felt that he could be glorified here, that he could live here for the rest of his life. And in fact, it was like this at the beginning, when he first returned to New York, the New York fans welcomed him more violently than the welcome is now chic, after all, he is a native of New York, and he is the pride of New Yorkers.

However, as the team's record continues to decline, all kinds of negative news and negative reports have been released, and many scandals that are not related to themselves have come to the fore. As a result, the reputation stinked, and Stephen Marbury felt that he was suddenly dragged from the flower-clad stage directly into the stinking gutter, and became a laughing stock along with the rotten Knicks.

He tried to struggle, but neither his teammates nor the team's management did not give him limited support. In the end, he found that no one believed him at all, the media didn't believe him, the fans didn't believe him, the management didn't believe him, and his teammates in the dressing room didn't believe him.

So, in the process of being exiled by 10,000 people, he slowly exiled himself.

He was accustomed to the abuse and slander of others, and he began to cater to those abuses and slanders, and did things that made people even more angry. He began to act like a madman by giving up on himself, such as eating Vaseline live in the United States.

A self-exiled man meets a group of media outlets bent on discrediting him, and the Big Apple has no place for him. He went from being a city hero to a rat in a stinky gutter in an instant, and everyone was laughing and chasing him.

Stephen Marbury lived in such a difficult life of contradiction and self-contradiction, gradually. He had a psychological problem. He started to have insomnia. I started to be depressed, and I started to lose confidence in Yiqiē.

Stephen Marbury thought he was going to sink like this, but today he met Xiao Shi.

Xiao Dash gave him a very fanatical respect and adoration like a fan.

This is a long-lost respect, and this is also a long-lost worship.

And the object is still from the new urban hero of New York City, this identity gave Stephen Marbury a very strong shot in the arm, making him feel that he is not worthless, not spurned by thousands of people, at least there is a very powerful person who worships himself and respects himself.

So. Stephen Marbury invites Chick and Mobley to the most luxurious restaurant in all of New York. He doesn't care about money, and he can get close to $28 million from the Knicks this year, the highest salary in the league this year, even though he doesn't have to play a single game.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Xiao had been chatting with Stephen Marbury about the breakthrough.

Stephen Marbury is a genius in his own right, and the content of the chic chat is also in simple terms, which immediately aroused his strong interest. When I'm excited, I don't even forget to get up and demonstrate.

Stephen Marbury gave Xiao some new insights, after all, Marbury is an experienced star player, and some of his experience can give Xiao Xiao an empowering feeling.

Breaking through this kind of thing is not something that can be reached behind closed doors.

The two chatted very speculatively, and Stephen Marbury's mental state also changed from sluggishness at the beginning to the end of the eyebrows. Very excited.

In the end, Xiao lost no time in asking, "Huh." That's right. Why haven't I seen you playing on the pitch in a long time? Is it because of an injury? ”

Xiao Sa's sentence was of course asked on purpose.

He has also followed some news from the Knicks in the past two days, and he knows how Stephen Marbury has been doing recently, and he also knows that he and D'Antoni don't like each other.

However, no matter what the outside world says about Stephen Marbury, no matter how bad others think of Marbury. For Xiao Shaw, he still believes that Marbury is his basketball teacher, or that his skills are top-notch. Even if he's in all the harsh conditions right now, he's still the kind of player who has the quality to decide the course of the game. If he gives it his all, at least it won't be worse than Chris Dujon.

So, Dash really wanted to fight with Stephen Marbury, although it seemed a bit difficult. After all, Marbury's conflict with the team and the entanglement of the whole city are too great. Everyone has something ingrained in him, and he himself seems to be going further and further down the path of self-collapse.

But even so, Xiao Dash decided to give it a try.

Now that the Knicks' game is rotten like this, and Marbury doesn't come out again, it's even more unplayable.

"It's not an injury. It's because I've been banished......" Stephen Marbury said with a bitter look on his face, and he put away the elation he had been talking about breakthrough techniques, and his whole body collapsed. Especially like a helpless and confused child.

Having studied psychology, he knew that Stephen Marbury was in a very natural and honest state.

Therefore, he didn't want to make a move that hurt him at this time, let alone say something that hurt him at this time.

"Is there some misunderstanding? I think with your strength, you can still change the game. After all, you are my initiation teacher. Dash gave Stephen Marbury a tall hat.

This made Marbury have a smile on his face, but he still said in a helpless tone: "This has nothing to do with strength, it's because my misunderstanding with everyone is too deep." The fans didn't want to see me play, the coaching staff didn't want to play for me, and the management just wanted me to agree to their buyout as soon as possible. It's good for everyone that I don't play, it's just not good for myself. ”、

"I always believe that a player's life should bloom on the field. I don't think it's time for you to say goodbye to the Circle, and I'm going to do my best to reconcile your misunderstandings with everyone. I hope you can reintegrate into the team and teach me how to improve faster and how to become a star player faster as a teacher. "Chic is very cautious in his words, and he wants to be able to give him encouragement and get him back on the court without irritating him.

The dashing and cautious words clearly had their effect, and Stephen Marbury fell silent.

Xiao on the side waited patiently for Stephen Marbury's answer.

After a long time, Marbury still made his response: "I'll be wearing a tracksuit in the training gym from tomorrow, and even if I don't play, I hope to be able to study the rhythm of the breakthrough with you." Basketball is still a sport that makes me happy. ”

"Well, let's have fun playing basketball!" Xiao Xiao laughed. He was very satisfied with Stephen Marbury's answer, and Marbury's attitude had at least taken a very solid and powerful step.

After lunch, Stephen Marbury sent Xiao and Mobley back to the training gym. And he himself left, and it was clear that he still needed to prepare.

Before the afternoon session, Donnie Walsh came to the gym to announce his departure, telling him that the entire team had just completed a trade and that Jamal Crawford had been sent to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Harrington, a very scoring power forward.

The deal didn't come as a surprise, and everyone, including Jamal Crawford himself, knew that with the arrival of the smash, the back line was going to face a huge change.

Jamal Crawford said goodbye to every teammate very friendly and graceful, and finally walked to the side of Xiao Xiao: "You're a very good shooting guard, in my mind, you're on the same level as Kobe Bryant, and I firmly believe that you will be greater than Kobe Bryant in the future." But, again, I have to stress that you're just like me, you're also a jerking scorer. It's just that you are greater than me, you can control your own convulsions, and I can't, I can only wait for it to come! ”

Jamal Crawford's words made Xiao Xiao subconsciously a little frightened, but then he woke up again, how could others spy on such a private thing as a dream.

So, he kept a polite smile and said very officially: "I think you can too, as long as you really want to." ”

Similar words like Zen may sound profound, but in fact, saying them is equivalent to saying them.

"I really hope to be a long-term teammate with you one day." Crawford said very seriously.

"There will be this opportunity. Come to Golden State, I always thought you were an All-Star level, don't let me down! ”

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

The two chatted amicably and cheered each other on amicably.

Then Crawford left the gym and he will travel to the far west, while Harrington will join the New York squad.

All of this is just business.

After Crawford left, D'Antoni began to pull Sage aside and explain to Sage very formally about the run-and-gun tactics. Xiao Sao originally thought that running and bombing was nothing more than a quick run and a blind-and-bastard, but he didn't expect that there were really a lot of tactical runs interspersed with them.

Xiao Sa's ability to understand tactics is praised by Mr. John Wooden, and the tactical positioning explained by D'Antoni was immediately imprinted into Xiao Sa's mind, and formed his own understanding, and extended many tactics.

Of course, none of this was discussed with D'Antoni, and he didn't want to spend his time talking about it.

After all, tactics are not static, when it comes to the playing field, it changes rapidly, and if the tactics are done exactly according to what the head coach says, it will simply be hit by people with their heads until they collapse.

After explaining the tactics, D'Antoni began the intra-team match.

Xiao Sao was assigned to the main team, and both teams fought against each other with running and bombing.

At the beginning, Xiao Sa was still a little scared, but later, Xiao Sa directly released a high-frequency offensive move, three times five divided by two, chopping melons and vegetables, killing the substitutes to the point of, and the army was defeated.

The coaching staff watched from the sidelines and nodded again and again, and Xiao's strength was really higher. Although he is still just a rookie, his scoring ability is too powerful.

No wonder he was voted the strongest rookie shooting guard in the past decade.
