Chapter 41: A Call from the Imperial Court

In the end, Jeremy Lin scored a career-high 33 points, as well as a career-high 10 assists, and his first double-double, and more importantly, he kept the turnover to less than 2; Tyson Chandler scored 25 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 11-of-14 free throws, setting a new season-high score, only 2 points away from a career-high 27 points, and scoring 20+ for the fifth time in the season; It is worth mentioning that Steve Novak, who came off the bench, scored 19 points and fully implemented the tactics of coach Wang Xiaomu.

Poor Washington's No. 1 John Wall scored 29 points and six assists but was completely ignored by media reporters.

The New York media launched a vigorous "Jeremy Lin phenomenon" academic seminar on the topic of "23-year-old he once again carried the Knicks on his shoulders", aiming to comprehensively analyze how a bad guard can become a legendary superstar, of course, this fully reflects the tradition of the New York media, we don't get the NBA championship, we want to get the gossip championship.

Wizards' brain-dead coach Randy Wittman praised Jeremy Lin after the game, "My son played against Jeremy Lin in college, and he told me that they were all better defended in college than we were tonight. Before the end of the game, I received this text message from my son. ”

Knicks head coach Wang Xiaomu faced questions from media reporters and attributed the victory to the team's excellent performance.

"Defeating the Washington Wizards isn't enough to show how strong the Knicks are!" Wang Xiaomu's coaxing statement immediately pushed himself to the cusp. But New York fans generally say it's the Knicks' most harsh word this season.

"We should have such strength and courage, we have Melon, Boxing Champion, Xiao Si, Captain, and now we have Lin Crazy! The Knicks are not short of money, they just lack a great head coach, and now we have to wait for him. I think the time has come for the Knicks. In a random interview with Sports Illustrated on the streets of New York, many fans expressed optimism about Wang Xiaomu's coaching level.

"Caesar is still a clown, let's look forward to the continued performance of this madman, the Knicks became the public enemy of the NBA when they were fledgling, I have to say, Wang Xiaomu, well done!" Sports Illustrated commentators have dedicated a section to the Knicks discussing the Chinese miracle.

At the Knicks headquarters, Knicks president James Lando and general manager Donnie Walsh are already happily talking. The two of them held wine glasses and listened to the urgent report of the female secretary in black stockings: "Chinese mainland's ** online sports will broadcast the Knicks' game against the Lakers on Friday, US time, and Taiwan's TV station will broadcast all the remaining games of the Knicks this month." ESPN Philippines has added the Knicks' home game against the Hornets on Feb. 17. And our network, since Jeremy Lin became the team's starter, the game's ratings are 36% higher than the season average. ”

"Donnie, I have to say, this Wang Xiaomu is our lucky star!" Lando, who picked up a glass of white Martinique, was so happy that the corners of his mouth grinned on the back of his head, who said that I don't know basketball, I just know how to use people.

Walsh naturally offered a series of sycophants, complimenting Lando for his wisdom and good at the middle (arguing loyalty and treachery), and then quickly took the opportunity to report the problems at work: "But the boss, he (Wang Xiaomu) still wants to strengthen the team's offense and defense. But we already have a very good inside and outside line, and we are ready to sign JR Smith. ”

Walsh complained indignantly that the team's money is not money, the key is that he still wants someone else's starter, which makes Walsh ten times more difficult to operate!

"Oh, promise him if it's less than a few dollars. Our problem isn't this season, and if Jeremy Lin does explode, we're just getting started. Cameron estimates that it will be difficult to get along with such a sticky guard, the key is that the NBA league's luxury tax will not explode until the third year, and if a team takes advantage of the Knicks' financial loopholes to make Jeremy Lin a poison pill contract, then our carefully cultivated players will become someone else's meal. "Lando is a well-thought-out boss, taking three steps at a time, and although he is rarely involved in team management, he knows the current situation of the team well.

"Oh~~ I'll organize people to start studying your concerns right away." Walsh obviously didn't see as far as Lando, and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"It's okay, this is not busy, it's just a matter of money. Now I want to see if this Wang Xiaomu can make the Knicks a monolith, he gives us questions, and we also have to look at his answers, so that if he can solve the ball between the team's main players, then buy the players he wants before the trade deadline. "Lando seems to be a bit of a dual personality, sometimes very sensible, sometimes very mentally retarded.

Wang Xiaomu, who slept until dawn at the Washington Hotel, naturally didn't know what was going on at the top of the team, and even received a call from the team's manager Walsh just after 8:00, suggesting that he would increase Jeremy Lin's playing time. Wang Xiaomu didn't know what the old man's heart was, so he was confused and shared the news with Gao Yuanyuan, the assistant in the next room.

The tall beauty had just taken a shower in the morning, her shawl hair was undulating like waves, and her black silk pajamas showed the curves of her body more prominently, and her posture was elegant and swaying.

Seeing Wang Xiaomu's heartbeat, he hurriedly looked away, although it was only an instant, but with Wang Xiaomu's super high eyesight, he inferred from the crisp. The petite cherry at the top of her breasts lifted up her thin pajamas to tell that she was not wearing underwear.

"I think it's the NBA top brass who got the message out to us." Gao Yuanyuan saw Wang Xiaomu's reaction, and only then did she realize the problem of her dress, and she quickly used professional analysis to wake Wang Xiaomu up from his distraction.

"High-rise?" Wang Xiaomu obviously didn't know the twists and turns in this, although he had tried his best to get closer to the mature world these days, but obviously this kind of star-making jihua and other big plans, he had not encountered in the Shijie of Xiuzhen.

After listening to Gao Yuanyuan's reasoning, Coach Wang suddenly realized. Now, opportunity for Jeremy Lin is like a profligate lewd, baby,, woman is stripping naked, wearing stockings and leather clothes, lying on the bed waiting for Xiao Linzi's luck.

What's the hesitation, driving New York City, continuing to train Xiaolinzi, the offense is too fucking sticky, the dribbling is also high, and the defense and mid-range shooting are miserable. If it weren't for the experience of Rejmiler, he would have played it when he met a strong team.

However, the Knicks seem to have had a lot of luck, and they don't have any tough opponents in the near future. Tomorrow, the Knicks will host another NBA giant, the Los Angeles Lakers, at home in New York.

The Lakers went straight from Boston to New York. Although the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers are showing signs of heroic twilight, the collision of the two giants still bursts out with a spark of passion. After a big battle, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Celtics 88-87 on the road with the absolute advantage of rebounding and the key block of Pau Gasol's moment, ending a two-game losing streak. Kobe Bryant had 27 points and five rebounds, while Sister-in-law and Bynum had a double-double.

It was a Thursday, February 9, and the team rushed back to New York for about an hour of normal training in the morning, and Jeremy Lin and Chandler, who had played so well yesterday, seemed to be physically exhausted and completely unable to keep up their spirits, sleepwalking on the court. Mr. Qian only felt confused and uncomfortable, and was directly shot in the head by the player who passed the ball.

"Go home and have a good rest, and come back later in the afternoon." The intimate head coach Wang Xiaomu smiled lovely, and this evil fruit was planted by him, so he naturally greeted him with a smile.

This decision made other Knicks players drool, and Byron Davis and Steve Novak also wanted to follow suit, pretending to be sluggish, but they didn't expect to be fined 5,000 meters by Wang Xiaomu for too bright shoes and too long beard.

The sad eyes of the two of them are like beauties in heaven and earth who are not paid all night, which is unlucky.

At noon, the coaching staff, under the supervision of the Knicks team executives, did not take a break and continued to analyze the video of the next opponent. Today, the two bigwigs of the Knicks team management seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and took turns to bombard Wang Xiaomu and Woodson, demanding that they must win the Lakers game.

Still Gao Yuanyuan raised his fingers upwards and said that the tall beauty spread her hands and said, "As far as I know, the boss's stocks have risen by at least 2% in the past two days." ”

"Well, we're still ready for the game, and judging from the video, Kobe Bryant is not in very good shape, only 11 of 24 shots. And zuihou only hit 1 out of 7 balls. Woodson, an assistant coach who analysed the opponent together, reminded the coaching staff.

"The Lakers' offense was too hard, and the ball was handled unreasonably. Judging from these games, Gasol is no longer on the high position, there are fewer empty cutting positions, no offensive space, no integrity, no offensive and defensive rhythm, no king's demeanor, the result is that Kobe Bryant has more and more offense with the ball, and Bynum and Gasol have more low-post singles. Gao Yuanyuan is worthy of being a top student at Harvard, and she entered the role quickly, and she is currently serving as part of the assistant coach function, and Wang Xiaomu has not hired new assistant coaches.

Wang Xiaomu listened quietly to the discussion of his assistants on the side, seemingly creating a relaxed environment for his subordinates to speak freely, but in fact, his mind was all on the big move released yesterday. I really don't know how much of this rampage, if you can rest for three or five days to ease up, how can this be good. No, at night, hurry up and find a way to make up for these two overdrawn credit cards.

Just as Gao Yuanyuan and Woodson were waiting for Wang Xiaomu's concluding remarks, a phone call starting with 001 hit Wang Xiaomu's mobile phone. Coach Wang hesitated, pressed the answer button, and a familiar Mandarin rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, Coach Wang Xiaomu, I am Zhang Gaoping, a reporter from CCAV, and I hope you can accept an interview with CCAV in your busy schedule." ”
