Chapter 202: New York Knicks

There is no doubt that the NBA top brass wants to make peace with the mud, and no one will be offended, and no one will be offended.

But as a result, everyone was offended by it, and no one was happy.

The most unhappy are the fans.

In their view, the official move can be regarded as a report to the All-Star starters, which is a naked shady act.

Originally, Xiao Xiao relied on the high popularity of East Asia to make the fans in North America very uncomfortable in one fell swoop, although Xiao Xiao's table Xiร n can be regarded as a leader among rookies, and he is not inferior among stars. However, becoming an All-Star starter as soon as he came up and squeezing out a superstar who has been famous for a long time is too inconsistent with everyone's established impression.

In addition, because chic is the best sexual fantasy object for women in North America, men in North America have long hated him. So, where else can I see him??

Now, coupled with a series of 'favoritism' moves by the alliance officials, the voice of opponents has been amplified to the extreme. Countless angry American fans poured into the league's official website to announce a protest and boycott.

The American fans were so caught in a riot, but the league officials were calm and didn't seem to be disturbed at all.

And Kobe Bryant as a party, he stood up and expressed his opinion: "Fans have the right to express their wishes. I defend their rights. โ€

Kobe Bryant didn't say it very clearly, but he clearly supported those fans.

It was a big boost to those fans, and it gave them a sense of justice, as if they were doing what was right. And Xiao and the NBA official are undoubtedly the evil opposite of the wolf bรจi in their minds.

Although Xiao Sao was in the midst of the turmoil, although he was opposed by thousands of people. But he didn't respond.

He's busy right now. He didn't even have time to pay attention to the fact that he had made it to the NBA All-Star Game and started in the West. Although it could also raise his salary, Barbara signed a contract with McTDunleavy that he specified a contract to increase the reward if he entered the NBA All-Star Game. At that time, McDonleavy agreed without hesitation, because he didn't expect Xiao to enter the All-Star Game so quickly, and in fact, there were many things he didn't expect. For example, in less than five games, Xiao Po, a rookie, forced Gong to successfully oust him from the position.

And now the important question in front of Xiao Shi is. After the game against the Thunder, he didn't even have time to enjoy the joy of the victory. Clippers executives announced the deal internally. Tim Thomas and Mobley were sent to New York and traded for Zach Randolph.

The lightning-fast deal came as a surprise to the entire Clippers.

And again, there was some shock throughout the league.

Although, Zach Randolph has always been called a cancer, and the contract he is carrying is also known as a garbage contract. But...... There are still a lot of managers who have high expectations of him because he is a very strong interior player. Although he has various faults, his personal ability is unquestionable.

He was like a poisonous glass of wine, and if he hadn't poisoned him, it would have been a great benefit.

And now the Clippers have gradually shown the momentum of a strong team under the leadership of Xiao. They are already eighth in the West, and if Zach Randolph can bring out his quality characteristics. It echoes the inner and outer lines with chic. So...... The Western Conference playoff teams are bound to have a spot on the Clippers.

As a result, some teams have started to scream wolf.

But for Chick, it's a tricky thing.

Because... The team didn't have a point guard in the first place, and now that Mobley is gone, the ball can't be rotated at all. Randolph is an interior player who needs the ball to play.

Plus the original Chris Carman, Marcus Camby, DeAndre Jordan...... In fact, the Clippers' interior line is already crowded. What is missing now is a point guard!!

Shaw doesn't think he's up to the point guard with the task of distributing the ball, and when it comes to passing, Shaw knows how bad he is. And at present, he has no idea of improving his passing, and his most important idea now is to open up the second pulse of Ren Du and make his scoring more stable and sharp. After all... He's a shooting guard!

While Xiao was feeling tricky and didn't know how to think about the distribution of the ball, the team was already heading to New York, where they were about to travel to the Knicks. And Zach Randolph will also meet there, and if nothing happens, his first game with his new club will be against his old club Knicks.

The Knicks are not a strong team, arguably the worst team in the league. Although they have a lot of capable players or stars on their books, they have never been a single entity, and under the toss of former general manager Isaiah Thomas, Madison Garden has become completely home for the visiting team. Although it is known as the basketball mecca, the fans really can't find a home team player to cheer on.

Stephen Marbury, once the darling of New York fans, has now been treated as a cancer, and he has been called the source of locker room chaos. Add to that the bunch of rubbish contracts of Eddie Curry, Zach Randolph, and Jerome James, and the New York Knicks' locker room is like a prison, gathering a whole bunch of gangsters.

So, the Clippers' pre-game preparation for this game is very simple, and everyone including Xiao Xiao believes that it will not be a difficult game.

When the Clippers' plane arrived in New York, Xiao received a strange phone call as soon as he got off the plane.

He wondered, because there were not many people who knew about his phone number, only a few. No stranger could find him, so he pressed the answer button with a strange thought.

Soon, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Xiao, are you okay?"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Sa immediately understood: "Teresa, why are you?" Where are you now? โ€

"I'm in Times Square and I'm calling you right now in a phone booth. My father snooped on my phone and he didn't allow me to have too close contact with you. Teresa's voice was a little urgent.

Xiao casually heard the words, and some did not know what to do.

He didn't know why Teresa's father wouldn't allow her to have too close contact with him.

"Are you in New York now?" Teresa continued to ask when Xiao was confused.

"It's here. Just got off the plane and got ready to get on the bus to the hotel. Xiao replied truthfully. He thought Theresa was a little strange tonight. But he still told himself very honestly about the specific situation now.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Can you get over quickly? I want to meet you!! โ€

Teresa hesitated for a moment, then struggled to say it.

Xiao Shi could hear Teresa pluck up courage on the other end of the phone, and he even heard Teresa biting her lower lip.

Therefore, Xiao Sao almost did not hesitate, and he directly agreed: "Okay, you stay there and don't move." I'll call this number when I get there. โ€

"Hmm."

Theresa's voice was filled with relief.

After Xiao Sa hung up the phone, he went to ask the team leader for a leave, and then went out of the airport by himself, called a taxi and walked to Times Square.

The average player just asks for leave without warning. Basically, it won't be allowed, but chic is different. Everyone knows his status in this team, basically except for the top boss. Even General Manager McDonleavy didn't dare to go against his will, how could a team leader dare to restrict Chick's freedom?

And when Xiao Shao got into the taxi, the black driver in the front seat immediately recognized Xiao Shao.

He looked extremely surprised, and then asked Xiao Shi with an exaggerated look and an incredible gesture: "My God, are you really Xiao Shao? That super-rookie of the Clippers??? โ€

Xiao Xiao was surprised that this driver was able to recognize himself, although he said that he didn't know if the fans in New York liked him, he still did not shy away from his identity, and replied with a smile: "Yes." I'm chic. โ€

"Wow!!" The driver clapped his palms excitedly, and Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he quickly reached out to help him hold the steering wheel. Then he reminded: "Drive seriously, drive seriously!" โ€

Xiao Xiao didn't want to entrust his safety to a crazy driver.

I'm so valuable now, if there is an accident, it won't be worth it!!

The driver was reminded by Xiao Shi, and quickly came back to his senses, quickly regained his grip on the steering wheel, was a little embarrassed, and quickly turned off his favorite hip-hop rap music.

The driver drove the car intently for a while, but he still couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and said to Xiao Shi: "Xiao, can you give me an autograph?" My niece is your crazy fan. She will be very, very happy if she gets your autograph, and it will be the best Christmas gift I can ever give her. โ€

"Yes, I'll sign it for you when you get off the bus, ten of you can do." Xiao Shi agreed with his mouth full of words, without the slightest ambiguity.

"Thank you, thank you!" The driver hurriedly thanked him.

He endured it for a while, and suddenly said to Xiao Shi again: "Will you join the Knicks?" We just made a deal with you guys, and if you could come to New York, we'd definitely make you a city hero!! โ€

Xiao Sa was immediately overwhelmed by this sudden question, he felt that this question was a little inexplicable, how could someone suddenly throw such a question to the player? ?

No way, the New York fans are so desperate that they want to recruit any star, and they really want a capable player to save the Knicks from the quagmire. Therefore, for every star, they will not give up the opportunity to invite. It's a bit of a rudeness, but they really want to change the bad status quo.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Sprinkle replied very seriously: "I'm sorry, I haven't thought about this yet. And, aren't you after LeBron James? โ€

In the face of a chic rhetorical question, the driver smiled helplessly: "We really don't have much confidence in LeBron James." You know, there are just too many people competing for LeBron, all the teams are clearing salary space, and they're all waiting to give LeBron James the biggest contract offer. New York has money and attention, but there are not many things we can impress LeBron compared to other teams. After all...... James has always wanted a championship ring, and with the Knicks' lineup, it is impossible to satisfy him in a short period of time! โ€

The head of the driver's analysis is the road.

When Xiao heard this, he also felt that it made sense. But he didn't make his own comments either, because he didn't know James well in the first place. Second, he doesn't want to care about other people's family affairs, and who the Knicks want to pursue has nothing to do with him as a Clippers player.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao did not speak.

The driver said to himself again: "If only we had chosen you instead of the Italian for this year's draft." In this way, we have hope, and we can hang our hope on something that is not very likely without expecting LeBron James. We just have to build a team around you, and as you grow, we're going to be a championship-caliber team, just like the Clippers are right now! Alas!! It would be nice if D'Antoni's draft vision was half as good as Isaiah Thomas. โ€

Xiao Xiao didn't feel much about the driver's sighs, because he couldn't empathize, which had nothing to do with him.

However, Xiao Xiao doesn't hate this driver, because he definitely has a true love for the Knicks, and he definitely really likes his home team. This kind of fan is definitely a huge asset to the team.

"Shaw, if you can join the Knicks, I'm going to buy a season ticket every season, even though it would be an expensive expense for me." The driver suddenly said to Xiao Shi very emotionally.

For this inexplicable but at the same time extremely sincere overture, Xiao Sao could only smile slightly, and then said: "Thank you." But I guess that's not going to happen. You know, the Clippers don't have any reason to trade me. โ€

"yes!" The driver sighed again and said leisurely: "After all, not every general manager in this league is as stupid as Isaiah Thomas!! โ€

The driver's words are full of resentment, it seems that Isaiah Thomas has really broken the hearts of New York fans!!

After about half an hour of driving, the car arrived at its destination.

When Xiao Sa wanted to pay for it, he found that he didn't bring any money at all, not even a card.

So, he was very embarrassed.

The driver saw Xiao Shi touching his pockets up and down, looking embarrassed and at a loss.

immediately understood that Xiao Shi didn't bring any money.

If it had been in the past, he would have called the police.

But today he didn't. Because he knows who the other party is, it is impossible for the other party to repay the debt because of this money.

So, he smiled and said, "Xiao, this money should be regarded as the salary I paid you in advance." If you have the opportunity to join the Knicks, please lead us out of the quagmire!! โ€
