Chapter 509: Confronting the Celts

Is this guy coming to the Knicks too? Why did he come to the Knicks?

Yang Mo thought about it in his head, and then asked, "He wants to come to New York?" Coming for a high-paying contract? ”

"I think so." Isaiah Thomas replied with some embarrassment that the Knicks were really regarded as a treasure lot of money for people who were stupid and had a lot of money in many cases. No way, who let him give away a lot of garbage contracts when he was general manager last time.

"For me, Stoudemire is a bit of a mid-range player, and his frontal singles are okay, but... His height and defense are very problematic, although we have Tyson Chandler to help him solve a lot of defensive problems. But... His knee problem worries me, and if he is sure to come, he will be given a maximum of $75 million for five years, and it will be better to press lower. You can just tell him that's what I mean, and if he wants to win a championship, he can come here. If he just wants more money, ask him to find another way. Yang Mo said very unceremoniously, for him, Stoudemire is not a necessary player, although he is also an All-Star level, although his offensive ability is very good.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Isaiah Thomas nodded, then added, "If we don't get him, we also need a power forward, preferably able to score, because Chandler's offense is very problematic." ”

"With your professional eye analysis, are there any good seedlings in this rookie?" Yang Mo asked.

Isaiah Thomas shook his head and replied with some frustration: "No, the level of the big forwards in this session is relatively watery. And the pre-exam picks are also particularly difficult to operate. ”

"I see." Yang Mo bowed slightly. He also felt a little embarrassed, there are really not too many big forwards in this league who can score now, and they are basically the treasures of each team. It's hard to get it done. Yang Mo sighed slightly, and said slowly: "You operate slowly, the time is still long, take your time, maybe you can catch a big fish." ”

"Okay, then I'll continue to plan and try to give you a sure answer as soon as possible."

Then. Yang Mo's familiar alliance press officer walked over, and when he saw him with a flattering smile, Yang Mo didn't have to guess to know that he was planning to come over and invite him to attend the press conference. But now it's the home field. Yang Mo has nothing to scruple about, thinking that if he wins the game, he should talk to the local reporters, so that they can also increase the prestige of the Knicks in publicity.

So, before the press officer could speak. Yang Mo took the initiative to say, "Let's go." Lead the way. ”

As soon as he heard Yang Mo's words, the press officer hurriedly walked forward, with a smile on his face, obviously he was extremely happy, after all, Yang Mo was rarely so willing to cooperate with his work. Yang Mo is almost the star he has ever seen who doesn't like to deal with reporters, but he is the star who reports the most from reporters. His ability to steal the canvas is almost as high as all the players in the league combined, multiplied by ten. Sometimes he also felt that it was unfair, and some stars were extremely cooperative with reporters, but the next day. The headline on the front page must be Yang Mo. But it can't be helped, the world is so unfair. God does favor some people more, and Yang Mo is obviously one of them.

When Yang Mo came to the press conference, almost instantly, the whole scene burst into warm applause, and almost all the reporters stood up and spontaneously applauded and cheered for Yang Mo. This is obviously beyond Yang Mo's expectations, he can feel that his relationship with New York reporters is getting better and better recently, but he didn't expect that one day the craziest New York reporter who blacked himself would support him so much.

In the applause, Yang Mo sat on the seat with a little surprise, and after the applause slowly subsided, he took the microphone and said with a smile: "Are you sure you are applauding me?" Or is it because you guys like my look today? ”

As soon as Yang Mo's words came out, he couldn't help but provoke a burst of laughter from the reporters, and at the same time there was some applause.

With such a harmonious relationship, people can't believe that two months ago, the New York media reported that Yang Mo was hacked to the bones, in fact, going back further, this kind of black text has no lower limit. But... Things in the world are so strange, the person who originally blackened Yang Mo to the bones turned into a person who held Yang Mo to the sky, and now there is almost no negative news about Yang Mo in the media in New York, and all the reports are biased towards the positive. The only criticism is probably to criticize Yang Mo for working too hard, paying too little attention to rest, and making it seem that he is giving advice to the leader.

Soon, a reporter stood up and asked Yang Mo: "Yang, just now you said in an interview with T-N-T at the court that you were going to sweep the Magic team and asked us to prepare a broom for Nelson, isn't it a joke, right?" ”

"Of course, have you ever seen me make such a joke?" Yang Mo replied with a smile: "I said that whoever wants to perish, he will perish." Now whoever wants to sweep the magic is naturally to step on the magic completely. ”

Yang Mo's domineering spirit once again received applause from the scene, and after a while, another reporter stood up and continued to ask: "So, are we ready to play Celtic in the next round?" Now that the Celtics have a 2-1 lead over Atalanta, they will have the series win if there are no surprises. ”

"We haven't looked at the Celtics yet. But I think once we get rid of the Magic, we're going to get a lot of time to study the Celtics' tactics. Yang Mo replied calmly that he really hadn't studied the Celtics' tactics.

"So, do you think we'll be able to take out the Celtics after beating the Magic?" A white reporter stood up and asked aloud.

As soon as he said this, the reporters below all looked at this guy with an idiotic look: Hey, man, that's a Celtic? They're not the Magic, we don't even have an inside line right now, so what can we do with them. We're here this year to learn from the experience, and next year is when we're going to win the championship, okay?

Although the reporters below were not particularly satisfied with this question, Yang Mo still gave his answer very seriously: "No matter who the opponent is, my confidence is 100 points, and no one will be able to make me cowardly before fighting." Celtic are strong, but not so strong that we can't win. So, my answer to you is. yes! ”

When Yang Mo said 'yes', the audience was screaming and applauding, and it was obvious that everyone was very, very, very satisfied with Yang Mo's answer.

Next, another reporter asked: "Yang, your data in this game broke our team history record, will you continue to make history in the next game?" ”

"Every day I make history. You ask me if I want to make history, and my answer, of course, is, yes! ”

Yang Mo's second yes still immediately won a full house. The atmosphere of harmony could not be more harmonious. Obviously, Yang Mo's relationship with the New York media has entered a honeymoon period. The press conference ended perfectly in a harmonious atmosphere.

After Yang Mo left the press conference, he turned around and went to take a shower, and waited until he came to the parking lot. Just getting ready to get into your car. found Lu Xuefei's voice behind him: "Hey, brother-in-law, aren't you going to have dinner with us?" ”

Yang Mo followed the prestige, and saw a stretched Lincoln with an open door made a whole row of five Hollywood superstars, all of them were miniskirts, they showed off their long legs, a very beautiful landscape, and they could be used as a promotional poster for a movie with a casual shot. And the box office in North America can definitely easily exceed 100 million.

"I don't seem to have a reason to say no." Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders and stepped into the Lincoln car.

As soon as he got into the car. The door was shut, and he sat down in the middle, and soon Emma Watson handed him a glass of red wine and toasted him romantically. At the same time, the car also drove out.

"Hey, are you a reporter for the New York Times? I'm Paris Hilton, I've got big news here, you send me two reporters, and I'll give you proof tonight. At this moment, from a Maserati in the corner of the parking lot, the urgent voice of Paris Hilton was heard: "I will prove to you that I am not lying before, if you don't want to miss the big news, send someone over immediately, I will keep in touch with you at any time,"

After saying this, she drove the car violently, and then quickly followed, she is obviously a little perverted now, for her, since she can't get Super-Yang, she will ruin Super-Yang, what she can't get, others don't want to get it.

At the same time, after Yang Mo toasted a glass of red wine with the big guy, he couldn't help but ask Lu Xuefei in front of him, "Xuefei, where are we going for dinner?" There will definitely be a lot of paparazzi coming to take pictures recently, in case something is photographed, it's not good. ”

"I'm afraid the paparazzi won't be able to shoot now." Lu Xuefei smiled, pointed to the rearview mirror, and said slowly: "Do you see that Maserati?" That's Paris Hilton's car, she's following us right now, and there's bound to be another car to meet her in a little while, and she's definitely trying to get some so-called evidence by photographing it tonight. Pity... She's so stupid, she doesn't know she's fallen into my trap from the beginning, and she's sure to think she's going to destroy us all now. ”

"So how do I need to cooperate?"

"Well, just sit in the car and drink red wine." Lu Xuefei smiled.

After Lu Xuefei said this, the car was already on the highway, and soon, Paris Hilton sped up and followed, and about ten minutes later, another red Toyota business car followed. In order not to throw these two cars away, Lu Xuefei deliberately lowered the speed of the car, and then took the two cars around in a circle, after going around most of New York City, the car returned to New York City, and then parked in high-end hotels one after another.

When Yang Mo returned home, Lincoln's car drove away. Paris Hilton received a phone call, and as soon as the phone rang, there was an angry scolding from inside: "Miss Paris, do you think we are very good at cheating? Is this what you call big news? ”

"I... Things changed a little bit tonight, but at least you caught the six of them getting out of the same car, didn't you? Can you write them car-shock? "Paris Hilton worked hard to use her imagination to edit material for The New York Times.

"We are responsible media, and it is not our profession to look at pictures and write stories. And are you sure that car can hold six people - quake? You can make up things that three-year-olds don't believe. That's the end of your prank, don't make such harassing phone calls in the future. "Soon. He hung up the phone stiffly.

Paris Hilton listened to the beep coming from the microphone, and she suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. This time, she seemed to be really a chicken and an egg. Not only did she not get Yang Mo's liking, but she also lost the friendship of her sisters, and most importantly, the reporters no longer believed her. Everyone thinks she's crazy, they all think she's mentally wrong, and she can make up such a bizarre story.

But what she said is obviously true!

People don't care if what he says is true or not, everyone only needs to know one thing. That is, Paris Hilton is indeed having a problem, a big problem in his head.

The next day all the news did not report on the failed tracking, and the news that had been so loud before began to luke. After all, as long as someone wakes up in a group movement, everyone will soon wake up, after all, IQ is still contagious.

And Yang Mo's wild words did not attract any rebuttal from the Magic team, even Nelson. At this time. The Magic's players are more relaxed than the Knicks' players. Many of them have already booked their leisure vacations, and their minds have long drifted away from the arena. They don't think they can continue to come back at 3-0, considering that Howard has been resting for at least two weeks with a sprained ligament.

The Magic's players lost all confidence, and Stan Van Gundy became no longer begging for victory under this emotion, and he conceded defeat. He mentally accepted the fact that he was swept, even though the fourth game was yet to come.

Before the series began, the Magic team was so proud that they even shouted a sweeping slogan. And now. After three games, they completely changed from big tigers to three-legged cats. The weak are pitiful.

The fourth game was scheduled to be held on Friday night, and the Knicks fans brought in more than 20,000 brooms that night, and they named them to give to Mr. Nelson, who obviously hurt the hearts of Knicks fans before the series started, and now it was time for him to be slapped in the face.

Another thing that Knicks fans are extremely concerned about is that Mr. Jeff Van Gundy really kept his promise to come to the live broadcast with a hygiene-scarf, and he made an extended night type, both sides of which were almost folded to the back of his head, looking like a towel.

However, this was still mercilessly ridiculed by Charles Barkley, who had been calculating how much blood the scarf could hold before the game began, and he analyzed the area to the volume, and finally concluded that it was probably the number of brains of Jeff Van Gundy.

His deliberate sarcasm made Jeff Van Gundy uncomfortable, but he just held back his anger and kept his mouth shut, not saying a word, and didn't speak from the beginning of the game. seems to be a mute, and the TV station doesn't give any opinion to his silent broadcast, but just keeps pushing the camera to him. Anyway, for them, a Jeff Van Gundy who appeared in a scarf was worth the pay, and he said it didn't matter at all whether he spoke or not.

And in fact, the game is not much to watch. From the very beginning of the game, the Knicks used a crazy offense to open up the score advantage, and the Magic team completely lost their fighting spirit, they even looked listless to resist, everyone seemed half a beat slower on offense, almost all of the offense was done from 18 feet away, they were dodging the defense, not challenging the defense.

What else can the Knicks do about this? Cut to death, of course. They won't give up on offense because of the Magic's unintentional love affair, after all, winning is their ultimate goal.

So, by the end of the second quarter, the Knicks had a 28-point lead. Under this scenario, the Knicks will soon become the first team in the East and West to advance in the 2009-2010 playoffs, and the only team to complete the sweep.

In fact, before the playoffs began, the Knicks were even rated as the weakest of the sixteen playoff teams because they were the least complete team with a lack of point guards and a center power forward, and only a bunch of small forwards. As a result, they relied on this lineup to take out the Magic three in a row, and they did it while losing all of their interior and main small forwards, and now they are about to achieve a sweep.

In the second half of the game, there was still no suspense, and the Knicks were soaring all the way. By the third quarter, they had even extended their lead to 45 points.

So, the last three minutes of the third quarter. Yang Mo rested, he was unwilling to slaughter the battleless Orlandos anymore, they were pitiful enough.

After Yang Mo left the game, the situation was still firmly in the hands of the pinching and trapping, although they had no center and no defender. Who made the Magic team think about going on vacation completely? For them, losing is a relief.

The game has been going on so steadily. And when the game was about to end, there was another scene on the court that made Knicks fans worry. Jeffries missed a dunk when he was unguarded, and his right hand failed to hold the basket tightly. The whole person fell directly from the air, his back hit first, and everyone heard a dull crash, followed by Jeffries's wail.

Obviously. He was particularly badly wounded. Soon. After a brief examination by the team doctor, the suspicions were confirmed, and Jeffries was eventually lifted off the court, lying on a stretcher and his back seemingly immobile.

When Jeffries was carried out of the court, Yang Mo's face was almost blue to the extreme. He almost wondered if God was deliberately playing tricks on him. The Knicks have lost four generals, all four of whom are so bizarre that Milicic fell in the bathroom. Turyaf was injured when he was unguarded, and Wilt Chandler was also injured unguarded. And now Jeffries is even more outrageous, he actually didn't grasp the basket and fell and was injured, how could there be so many accidents, why did all the accidents behave on the Knicks?

Now, the Knicks not only don't have an interior lineman, they don't have a second attacker, but they also don't have the most trustworthy defender on the front line. The only players they have left to play so far are: Anthony Randolph, Tracy Maddie, Gallinani, Douglas, Larry Hughes, Tony Allen, and Yang Mo. There are only seven of them left, and these seven people can't even play the NBDL, let alone the NBDL, except for Yang Mo. But now they're playing the playoffs, and they're likely to face the toughest of the Celtics.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Magic with a score of 119-79 and entered the second round of the playoffs with a sweep. At the end of the game, all the Knicks fans threw their brooms into the air at the same time, and it was an instant joyous scene, for them, the team has created so many surprises this season, even if they can't beat the Celtics next, they are satisfied. After all, last year's Knicks were the vice president, and this year has entered the second round, what else is there to demand?

And Tracy Maddy also cried bitterly after the fight, he threw a few punches into the air in excitement, he was so excited, he was so happy. He finally took off his second-round virgin hat, he finally broke the curse of his career, and he finally made it to the second round.

On this day, he had waited so long that he almost cried on the court.

Relative to the excitement of the fans, Tracy Maddie's dream came true. Yang Mo's face was much more solemn, and the moment the whistle blew at the end of the game, his smile lasted less than thirty seconds, and was soon occupied by deeper sorrow. Now that the first-round win is in his pocket, he must prepare for his opponents in the next round.

Whether the opponent is the Celtics or the Atlanta Hawks, this will be an insurmountable peak for the Knicks today, and he, as the leader of this team, must lead the team to the past.

Soon, a reporter came to interview him. When asked how he felt after the sweep, his answer was simple: The only thing that a sweep meant to me was that the first round was over. We have a few more days of rest than our opponents in the second round, giving us more time to study them.

When asked what to do in case of encountering the Celtics, Yang Mo's answer was very simple: Now we don't have many chips, we can only stud, we can only fight to the death. So, I think you'll see how dominant I am on the scoring end.
