Almost at the moment when Wang Xiaomu made his decision, Gao Yuanyuan picked up the phone and conveyed the resolution to the decision-makers at home.

Although the New York Knicks have an average record, they definitely belong to the NBA's giant teams. They have had the likes of Parker Riley and Patrick Ewing in their history, but the team has not been as famous as they are. In 1997, CNTV bought the Knicks for $30 million, and the team suddenly exploded into formidable combat, and in the 1998-1999 season, they were just one toe away from the championship. However, Ewing's "Achilles heel" injury broke out in the finals, and he had no choice but to lose 1-4 to the San Antonio Spurs.

But cable conglomerates have tasted the sweetness of this, and they have injected a lot of money into the black hole of the Knicks. The Knicks became the face of the nouveau riche in an instant. However, the team's results have not been as good as year after year, and they have not even entered the playoffs for 10 consecutive years. Jianghu people say that people are stupid and money comes quickly.

President James Lando's best thing is to buy players for life, and the most famous case belongs to Alan Houston, who is worth $100 million over six years. As a result, Houston retired after only four seasons after signing, and the contract at that time was more than $40 million. And Lando also likes to sign head coaches with a lot of money, and there have been three coaches who coached the Knicks and took team salaries after being fired.

It's a paradise for all the players and coaches.

"Dolan, how's it going. Just do me a favor. Your head coach is a decoration anyway! In order to promote Wang Xiaomu to join the Knicks team, Gao personally led the team to James Dolan's home in New York to mediate.

New York is a battleground for gangsters of all stripes, and the boss of the gang has known James Lando for a long time, and there are many deals between the two sides that are not on the table.

"But the team's record is also reasonable!" Although James Dolan is prone to impulsiveness in the operation of the team, he is really good at talking about business, and as the saying goes, catching up is not a deal. And D'Antoni has just won a big victory, and firing people squid at this time will make others feel cold.

"You're a dead duck with a hard mouth." Gao Gangster has been in contact with the old man a lot recently, and his Chinese level has improved a lot. "That way, as long as our guys are still in the head coach position, the NBA's broadcast revenue in Hong Kong gives you 40%." The high gang leader couldn't afford to delay, so he hurriedly sacrificed the big killing weapon, and the old man gave a one-week deadline, at all costs. This part of the subsidy in Hong Kong was squeezed out of between his teeth by calling Li Chaoren.

"What about the mainland?" James Dolan is like a wolf, smelling a little blood, licking his face.

"I can't be the master of the mainland, and you don't know it, I never went back since I left." He and his second brother were born in Guangdong, but then several younger brothers and sisters were born in the United States. Even he was only vaguely impressed.

"Well, I'll talk to the board of directors. Pick a haode time to reply to you. James Allan also knew that he couldn't rush the one in front of him.

Seeing that this old guy didn't give a happy word, the high gang leader was also refreshed, and Shi Li retired.

Go talk to Huang Jianhua? This is obviously not the style of the Gao family, nor is it Wang Xiaomu's pot of vegetables.

Good timing? Naturally, it was not chosen. It's not waiting for it. In order to make the good time come as soon as possible, the generals of the Huawa Gang rode Long Dongqiang and sang a good show.

On January 25, the Knicks visited Cleveland back-to-back, and the Cavaliers, who were waiting for their work, were stimulated by the presence of several presidents, and rookie Kyrie Andrew Irving led the team to knock out the exhausted Knicks. The hapless D'Antoni called a timeout in quick succession, but could not prevent the team's defeat. In the end, the Knicks hated Cleveland by 10 points.

On January 27, the Knicks, who had wanted to take the opportunity to rest on the beach in Miami for two days, were met with a once-in-a-lifetime enthusiastic crowd of fans at the hotel. The restless fans almost wiped out the Knicks players who had flooded into the hotel. The fans didn't give the players time to rest at all, and they partyed downstairs all night long.

The Knicks gritted their teeth against the Miami Heat with black circles under their eyes.

Even more sad news is that their All-Star star Carmelo Anthony will miss the game against the Miami Heat with ankle and wrist injuries.

As a result, it is conceivable that Miami's two giants (Wade can't play either) and a group of generals will not give up such an abusive opportunity, and it only took three quarters to beat the Knicks to the north. The Zuihou Heat changed to an all-bench lineup, which can be regarded as saving face for the Knicks.

99-89 is another 10-point gap.

However, the tragic life of D'Antoni and the Knicks was not over, and the next day they flew to the aerotropolis city of Houston, where the Rockets taught them another good lesson.

97－84．

The New York Knicks are on a three-game losing streak.

The Houston media did not save face for the Knicks at all, and with the headline "It's not news that the Knicks lost", they fiercely ridiculed the Knicks, who claimed to have the "Big Three".

"That's our Anthony not playing!" Die-hard Knicks fans complained in the forums.

"Hehe, what's the use of playing, 7 shots and 0 hits?" Fans of the Bobcats took the opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs.

At this time, the person who couldn't sit still was replaced by James Dolan. It's not that the Knicks' results are too bad for him to stand it, he's used to criticism from the NBA, and even David Stern has criticized him for managing the Knicks. And fans voted him the worst owner in the NBA. He even sometimes signed directly with players by bypassing the general manager, which made the general manager of the team unable to get his blood pressure down. No matter how bad the Knicks' record is, can he be worse than the "worst"!

When it comes to cynicism, James Dolan's strategy is to hide his ears and keep his ears closed. Regardless of the team's poor record, he used the MSG under his supervision to develop a strict media strategy that prohibits criticizing the team's players, prohibiting reporters from interviewing players, prohibiting one-on-one interviews, and even expelling journalists who criticize the entire team.

Don't say it, in this way, it really has a good effect.

Shijie is much quieter.

What made him sit still this time was that the other three teams under his command, the New York Rangers of the NHL, the New York Liberty of the WNBA, and the Connecticut Beluga of the American Hockey League, also encountered varying degrees of harassment and even threats. This led the rest of the board to express their direct displeasure with James Dolan.

After all, this is the obvious thing for the fleas on the bald head.

"Does the group need the head coach that little money? Are the team's results even worse? Are you afraid of worse sarcasm? A stern criticism from his wife's family awakened James Lando's paranoia.

yes, we're not on an errand! That day, Lao Gao's Chinese adage came to say, "Who in the traffic police force doesn't know individuals?" James resolutely picked up the phone in his hand and gave it to the high-gang anchor.

The headquarters of the Huawa Gang here has long been messed up,

"What's going on, boy! It's been a few days, and it hasn't been done yet! ”

Old Man Gao blew his beard and glared, kept scolding and scolding, and then charged with the sacrificial flag.

The high gang leader whispered on the side, while constantly wiping sweat. All the cards in his hand are played, and it depends on how the other party takes the move.

Gao Yuanyuan was carefree, playing with the jade pendant that Wang Xiaomu gave her. This thing is worn on the body when it is cold, it is warm, and when it is hot, it is cold, it is magical, Miss Yuanyuan naturally takes this as one of the salary and benefits, and happily accepts it.

Wang Xiaomu was not in a hurry, and slowly sipped the tea.

Just then, James' call rang. The high gang leader picked up his mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
