Chapter 147: Bird's Abacus

(I'm writing down the next update.,It may be tomorrow morning.,It's a bit too much today.,Sorry.) The game attracted a large number of Chinese people from Indiana. Jeremy Lin has been in stable form lately, and his popularity has not decreased; Wang Xiaomu will continue to lead the team to the NBA winning streak. Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Larry Bird's 33-game winning streak is simply an insurmountable peak.

In this game, Big Bird came to the scene to watch the game. In an interview with reporters before the game, Bird humorously said that the strength of the Pacers is above that of the Knicks, and the financial resources of the Knicks are above the Pacers.

"However, Knicks management will have a big headache unless they are willing to pay more than $30 million in luxury tax. And I believe that it's really unlikely that Jeremy Lin will stay, he's a smart player. As long as this state continues, a $10 million annual salary will not be a problem. The Chinese market behind him is what the team craves, but New York doesn't necessarily care about the extra tickets. You know, when the Knicks were hovering at the end of the league all those years, they were making tens of millions of dollars a year. ”

Bird's ill-intentioned remarks pushed the game off the field all at once.

After all the die-hard Knicks fans scolded Big Bird, they were saddened to find out that what Larry Bird said turned out to be true.

The Big Three take up the vast majority of the Knicks' salary space, and if the Knicks want to keep Jeremy Lin, either a star is willing to take a pay cut or someone has to go.

Salary cuts? Everybody comes to New York to make money, champion? At least in the eyes of the three highest-paid stars, this can be there or not. Chandler is already a championship winner and doesn't need to prove anything.

Anthony is the boss of the team, and he once had the reputation of "coach killer", as evidenced by forcing the bearded D'Antoni away. Melon really hasn't won the championship. If he is allowed to fine-tune his salary appropriately, it should still be possible, but the salary will be drastically reduced. That would only kill him. Villa luxury cars are not so easy to maintain.

The last little bully, Stoudemire, will definitely not take a pay cut, and he is even being voted by fans in forums as the most likely player to be traded.

If the team has to keep Jeremy Lin. That would most likely leave Stoudemire gone.

At present, the team is full of talent in the power forward position, there is a big diamond Scola sitting on the bench, and there is even a god substitute Oden who can play power forward.

Poor Xiao Si's fate is really a bit stormy.

To say that ginger is still old and spicy, Larry Bird only made one move, and he messed up the Knicks on and off the court.

The first time I heard the content of the fans' discussion from the agent, Stoudemire, who was originally a little weak in his heart, almost bit his lip. Wang Xiaomu cured his injury in the last game, but he couldn't cure his paranoia.

Jeremy Lin's appearance caused a loud shout from the fans in the stadium. I really can't help it. The legendary star was the fifteenth man on the team just over a month ago, with a non-guaranteed contract, a water cooler manager, and a bigwig bagger. Teammates rubbing against the sofa, life hangs by a thread, and players who don't even dare to rent a house.

It can be said that the arrival of Wang Xiaomu gave Jeremy Lin the opportunity to appear. gave him the stage to succeed. You must know that reusing a yellow person with a Harvard all-A SAT score close to a perfect score is simply an insult to the already low IQ of American professional basketball practitioners. It's as incredible that a Harvard graduate becomes an NBA star as a retired NBA player becomes a Harvard professor.

Just look at the way the referee greeted Jeremy Lin and you'll know that he's already an All-Star.

"Let's welcome the hottest star of recent times with the warmest applause: Jeremy ~ Lin!" The DJ's energetic voice on the field is also rendering the atmosphere for Jeremy Lin, under their deliberate arrangement. Jeremy Lin is far ahead of the team's three bosses.

"Clever and clever! I used to really underestimate Larry Bird, thinking that he was just a good player, but I didn't expect that before the game started, he took the initiative one after another, completely occupied the initiative in the general trend, and stabbed us with all his strength. Woodson said to Wang Xiaomu with some concern.

"It's okay, Lao Wu, even Sun Wukong can't escape from the palm of the Buddha." Wang Xiaomu looked confident, and two sentences dispelled Jeremy Lin's sense of superiority and the unhappiness of other players.

He only used a pre-war sentence to gather the hearts of the first five tigers, "Xiaolinzi, give me a good fight." In this competition, you must overcome the problem of 'delicate waist and easy to push'! ”

In this way, amid Jeremy Lin's depressed face + helplessness and the laughter of the other four, the Knicks were ready.

The Pacers continued from their starting lineup last time. Head coach Frank's face was solemn, as Larry Bird's descendant, he resolutely implemented the tactics arranged by Big Bird in this game, that is, to strangle Jeremy Lin.

Bird's pre-battle exhortation seemed to still ring in his ears, "Whether the cavalry breaks through the middle or the archers shoot coldly on the periphery, they all need ammunition, and Jeremy Lin is the logistics force that transports ammunition, he must be strangled to death, their smooth sailing is the end of our world." ”

The tactics of pinching the defender were vividly reflected from the beginning, and JR, who played well in the last game, received the award and was appointed by the coach as the first choice to mark Jeremy Lin.

"Speed, speed, speed, I need you to put Jeremy Lin in full control, starting with him getting the ball at the back. You must know that he is a Chinese, and his physical strength is definitely not as good as yours. You just have to defend him for the first quarter and then you can put your energy into the offense. Before going on the pitch, Coach Frank told J.R. Smith again.

J.R. Smith, biting his jersey, nodded vigorously, his position on the team has been fixed for a month, and there are not many three-point shooters on the team, so he has a lot of outside shots. After many years of experience, JR has a clear view of the team's current situation, and Larry Bird, as the team's emperor, has always controlled everyone's destiny, and he can see that Big Bird attaches great importance to this game, so he is naturally willing to devote himself to the defensive cause.

As the Pacers' number one point guard, George Hill is also big. The height of 1.88 meters as a shooting guard is a little reluctant in college games, let alone in the NBA, which is why the coach insisted on asking JR to keep an eye on Jeremy Lin in this game.

Although there are people to help him share his worries, Hill's responsibility is not small at all, and he needs to withstand Lin's defensive pressure and revitalize the team.
