(I'm very busy today, I didn't sleep at noon to make up the previous chapter, and I didn't write well in a hurry.) I worked overtime until 2 o'clock in the evening, and now I start making up for yesterday's chapter! Let's start with a 3000-word chapter, tomorrow is another busy day, I don't know if I'm free during the day, but there will definitely be a change at night. Minimum 3000 words. June 10 at 4 a.m. ）

According to the rules of the NBA regular season, teams in one league and the same division will play two home and two away games, a total of 4 games; Teams from different leagues play two games against each other, one home and one away. In this season, the number of games per team dropped from 82 to 66. With 16 games missing, not only is there less ticket revenue, but more importantly, the players have to be tested more closely by the schedule.

The worse the team on the bench, the more it will be affected. The Toronto Raptors were tormented by inconsistent performances throughout the 2011-12 season. Looking at Toronto's schedule, the second game after each win is a loss or a losing streak, and the successive injuries of the players are also damaging the momentum of this team with a 15-30 record.

And injuries are a major factor in their current fourth-place finish in Atlanta. The Italian centre-forward has just returned, and Calderón has been put on the daily watch list with an ankle injury.

What makes the team's top brass even more confused is that the heavens seem to be working against them as well. On Saturday night, the plane the Raptors were flying in crashed in Memphis the day before the game. Although the crew worked hard for more than 10 hours to repair the plane, they arrived in Charlotte only three hours before the start of the game.

The Toronto players were drowsy and led three quarters to lose 107-103 to the league's worst team. Charlotte Bobcat.

Jeremy Lin, who returned to his home stadium, was the box office incarnation, and the fans who poured into the Madison Square Garden arena set a new record, with more than half of the fans wearing the number 17 jersey. If it weren't for safety concerns, it is estimated that Dolan would have been eager to hang a few more rows of seats in the air.

Before the game, Wang Xiaomu had a long conversation with Anthony.

The topic of the two is quite high, called "leadership".

As the head coach of the team, Wang Xiaomu believes that a team can only reach its full potential if everyone loves their role. And the role that the Knicks are missing is: leader.

"Cameron, you have to know that improving your team-mates is not just about sharing the ball or making your teammates feel comfortable. This is just the initial stage. Sometimes, it's too easy for you to be a good person, it's okay to be good-tempered, but you have to put the team's victory first and ignore the impression that others have of you. Kobe Bryant has a saying, which I admire, that in order to win, he will awaken the beast inside all the players, even if they will hate you at the time. Wang Xiaomu took great pains to talk about it. You can even cite it.

Anthony obviously belonged to one of the beasts that was awakened by Wang Xiaomu, and seeing that his eyes were shining, he knew how excited he was now. Until you leave that office. He still remembers Wang Xiaomu's last words: "Cameron." This is growth, and you have to grow too, and some people are born to be beacons that illuminate others, and your statue will stand in the square of the Garden Course. ”――

Today is the birthday of Knicks number one fan big director Sparker Lee. In order to express their gratitude to the veteran fan, the entire Knicks team took photos with him wearing a Jeremy Lin jersey one by one.

Cameron seems to be in a good mood today. Although he still heard some boos during the opening player introduction. But he still didn't care about playing a funny game with the big director, and when taking pictures, he had to use his arm to block the "1" in front of the number on his jersey.

Despite the group photo of all the players, Spark-Lee was still not satisfied, and had to sit beside Wang Xiaomu with a shy face.

"I just want to better appreciate your conducting skills." Spark-Lee's explanation makes sense.

It's just that Wang Xiaomu licked his chapped lips with a little depression. How can I have the art to get my hands on?

The Knicks' starting line is still the usual starting five tigers, and Wang Xiaomu wants to balance the mentality of the players. During training, he took out a starting spot and launched a game of "grabbing the starter". The five main players are drawn to decide who will step up and take on the challenge. Anthony, who was out of luck, was selected again, but this time in the mid-range shooting and switchback running, with the best four players in the competition playing one-on-one PK. Obviously, these project substitutes are still far away, and the originally ambitious substitutes can only watch the melons laugh to the end.

But the Raptors, who lacked the main playmaking guard, sent Jack Baylors head-on. The first-round No. 11 defender had high expectations, but he was more often a stake against Jeremy Lin.

"Jeremy Lin continued to make serpentine changes, and oh my God, I felt like I saw the shadow of Tony Parker, a French sports car, and the swings were fantastic. Bayless, who was defending Jeremy Lin, was deceived by Jeremy Lin's feints and could only watch as Ahao walked away. Sports station George also has a sense of happiness when he returns to the home court to commentate this time, and repeatedly soars a high note, "Jeremy Lin's layup, the ball is in!" Watching Jeremy's layup is simply a beautiful enjoyment, stretching movements, perfect picks, vividly showing the unique beauty of breakthroughs, and fully showing the art of guards! ”

Of course, his self-absorption almost made his assistants vomit nauseously.

Jeremy Lin, who has just signed for Volvo, had a great start to the tournament, giving three assists in a row to Chandler, Stoudemire and Anthony.

Anthony continued his struggling shooting percentage in this game, and his hard 5-of-15 shooting made him a little devastated. But as an All-Star, he has contributed in other ways at the right time.

"Cameron rebounds in the backcourt! Cameron made another steal. Oh, and he jumped high to drop DeRozan's shooting cap. I can responsibly say that Wang Xiaomu has brought fierce chemistry to the team and established super high prestige. I don't think Anthony has been involved in defending for a handful of years, and even though he is a master defender, his pride disdains him to defend without physical strength. But today, he is almost desperate. ESPN's beautiful basketball anchor Jermel Hill exclaimed from the sidelines.

Indeed, Cameron's performance tonight was phenomenal. His performance has pushed the entire Knicks team, and the Raptors have been playing a two-man package against him in this game, but he has always been able to find teammates who are in the open space. Every time he rotated, Wang Xiaomu would stand up and pat him on the shoulder, and Anthony would humbly exchange words with the head coach.

Spark-Lee, who was on the side, hurriedly wrote down in his notebook: "He is so good at communicating with the core of the team, and Anthony gives him the respect of a mentor." ”

The head coach of the Raptors was Devin Casey, the assistant coach of the Mavericks when they won the championship, but as a familiar with Chandler's style of play, he could not limit the performance of the boxing champion. Without Bosh's season, the Raptors had a bit of a faltering season.

In this game, the champion center from Italy, Bagnani, came back and was responsible for marking Chandler, but his thin body was always a little unsatisfactory in front of Mr. Qian.

And when Wang Xiaomu sent Oden, who had gathered enough strength, Bagnani also turned into a training pillar, and it was as if he had disappeared on the field. When the Raptors' Aaron Gray suffered two technical fouls in a row due to his uncalm off-ball foul performance, the Knicks scored five points in a row to open up a 15-point gap in one fell swoop, and the Raptors have never been able to threaten the Knicks since.

Facing the Raptors, who had a weak center and a lost guard, the Knicks' bench bandits continued the team's frantic stance, winning the game by a huge margin of 30 points with little effort.

In a post-match interview, Wang Xiaomu attributed the devastating victory to Carmelo Anthony: "He was the leader of the team tonight, his defense was fantastic, he put a lot of energy into defense. We've been expecting him to do that! He did everything a team leader should do. These rhetoric was made by Wang Xiaomu before the game, he must establish authority in the team, Jeremy Lin is still a little tender, and the team still needs Anthony to resist.

Anthony, who has proved himself for the time being, earnestly talked about some of the problems he encountered: "I didn't perform well enough a while ago, and when I was at my worst, Coach Wang Xiaomu helped me. I hope he will give me more criticism and advice, and I don't have any problem with criticism. If there's anything I can do to improve this team, please let me know. ”

Jeremy Lin, who was highly recognized by fans across the United States, scored a double-double of points and assists in this game, and once again became the darling of the media. -- Adversity forges quality, quality brings hope, and hope never disappoints.

This time, the media also focused on interviewing Director Li, who took notes carefully behind Coach Wang Xiaomu's seat. Spark-Lee seriously introduced Wang Xiaomu's greatness to all media reporters: "I think he can control the game, he doesn't even have to communicate with the players much, he stands on the sidelines is a symbol of victory!" ”

And Wang Xiaomu, who spent a lot of time on the sidelines in this game, said that as soon as he sat down, the chattering Spike Lee would ask him for tactical advice with an open attitude.

It's not that Coach Wang Da is clumsy, it's that Director Li Da's question is too professional, and he really can't answer it!

Although the game was won, there was one thing that kept Wang Xiaomu's heart hanging: the olives that had been staring at Wang Xiaomu like flies these days had surprisingly not appeared in the audience.

This obviously does not bode well. Wang Xiaomu could even smell the smell of conspiracy in the air.
