Chapter 217: Stephen Marbury

The launch was over quickly, but the effects of the launch were just beginning to spread.

When the news spread that Xiao did not have a ruptured ligament, the first thing that bore the brunt of it was the excited New York Knicks fans who fell into great happiness.

Since Xiao Sage scored 66 points at Madison Garden, Sage has basically been regarded as the most promising rookie in the 08 class, and even a considerable number of people have decided that Spark will become the biggest star in the 08 class. Although such an evaluation is a little unfair to Derrick Rose, in terms of numbers, Xiao Chuan is already the strongest of the rookie players.

With such a highlight of 66 points, Xiaoxiao's average points per game have come to 25.3 points. This score has entered the top five on the scoring list, ahead of only Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant. In fact, Dwyane Wade's points per game average is also above the sluggish, but due to injury, his number of appearances is very limited, and he did not make the list.

Xiao Sao suddenly jumped to the position of being able to compete with the top scorers in a fledgling rookie attitude, which has to be said to be a great achievement, you must know that no rookie has been able to enter the top five scoring list in his rookie season in recent years, in fact, even Cameron Anthony, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and other famous scorers have not been able to score such a number.

In terms of simply scoring, Xiao Sage seems to be already a demeanor of everyone who has entered the house.

And that's why New York fans expect so much from Chick, after all, there hasn't been such a scoring maniac in many years. Since Kobe Carter, Iverson, Maties, and Allen, the only shooting guard who can stand up is Dwyane Wade. And Dwyane Wade is also more called a two-way guard because of his height. And now. Chic has risen. Swept a rookie with the attitude of a scoring maniac.

How can people not look forward to such a strong position?

With the joy of Knicks fans, Clippers fans are undoubtedly stuck in a hole in the ice. Originally, Xiao Xiao brought them infinite hope, and they even looked forward to being able to counterattack the Lakers under Xiao Xiao and become the most appealing team in Los Angeles, at least not to become a foil. And in fact, during this period of chic joining. The Clippers have received a lot of exposure, and the ball market is constantly red. Faintly, there is already the strength to contend with the Lakers.

But now, the stupid McDonleavy actually traded the Dash out and came back with the Dash in exchange for two draft picks.

My God!! Is there anyone more idiotic than that?

For Clippers fans, McDonleavy has become the target of public criticism, and they even think that it is because the New Yorkers gave this guy a kickback, so this guy will be so happy to sell such an appealing potential superstar so cheap!!

In the eyes of Clippers fans, Xiao Sao can replace any star other than Kobe, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Tim Duncan, and other leading stars. As a result, it was in exchange for two draft picks, and there is nothing cheaper than this!

The fans couldn't take it. So they bloodied the dogs that McDonleavy and Sterling scolded.

In this regard, McDonleavy is trembling. I am afraid that my private acceptance of James Dolan's one million dollars will be made public. If it is really made public, then this black box deal will definitely put him in a prison cell, and this deal will also be stopped because of the black box deal. Fortunately, McDonleavy was convinced that James Dolan would not be so stupid as to make this matter public, because he would also be punished.

Sterling, on the other hand, had a hard time, and he found that he was underestimating the influence of Xiao. Since Xiao Xiao's departure, all the sponsors have left, and the box office of the ball market has plummeted. The market value of the Clippers has been climbing, but now it is down by 50%.

His bowels are all repentant, and he is now thinking about how to get the benefits of making up for it from Donald as soon as possible, otherwise he will really lose his wife and soldiers, and he will lose everything.

At this time, he received a not-so-rosy message. When Teresa returned to Los Angeles, she suddenly began to fully embrace the Donald family's business. This is definitely not good news for him, although his relationship with Teresa is not too bad, but the Donald family's commitment to him was made by the old Donald after all.

Unlike McDonleavy trembling and Sterling's bitter words, the Eastern Conference All-Stars began to complain about the slump across the board.

The unbeatable ride that was originally sprinkled in the Western All-Star voting completely broke the balance, and it was undoubtedly a cross-strait fire for the Eastern All-Stars, and they did not have the slightest sense of crisis. But now that Xiao Shi has come to the east, he has brought his votes to the east as well. As a result, Dwyane Wade, the starting All-Star in the East, was squeezed out of the starting lineup in an instant.

And LeBron James, who was originally far ahead in the voting rankings, was stepped on to second place in an instant.

The change happened so quickly that everyone couldn't accept it.

"The dashing arrival hasn't changed the Knicks' landscape, but he's upset the balance of the Eastern Conference All-Star." Dwight Howard said this in an interview.

"I don't think he can take Dwyane's place. It's as if he can't take Kobe Bryant's place. Maybe he's played highlight, maybe he looks like he has a lot of potential. But...... I love Wade even more. LeBron James didn't make a welcome gesture either, and although it didn't have much to do with him, he still sided with Dwyanwade. After all, Wade is his friend, and at the same time, he is also a star under Nike.

In a sense, LeBron James actually has a knot in his heart for chic.

This knot comes from the continuous transcendence of Xiao Shi's formation of him.

At first, he didn't look down on Xiao Shi, thinking that he was just a rookie. However, he soon found that Xiao Shi was constantly stealing media exposure, although many times the media exposed negative news. But I have to admit that since Xiao joined the league, many of LeBron's pages have been stolen......

LeBron James is different from the average player. He is very business-minded. He knows what that exposure means.

Meantime. When he learned that the sponsorship contract he got was the first contract in history, his uncomfortable feeling became even stronger. After all, he has been the pride of the sky since he was a child, and he is the best in everything. He was always the center of attention in basketball, but now the arrival of Xiao has continuously robbed him of his exposure and surpassed him in business.

And this time, after Xiao Sao was injured. He thought that the commercial value of the sluggish would be greatly reduced. As a result, he didn't expect that Xiao Shi directly used the contract amount to become Adidas' stock. Immediately after the news of the doctor's misdiagnosis came out, Adidas' stock soared. The value of Xiao has skyrocketed, and he has left other players far behind.

After all, most of the other players still stay in the position of partners or workers, and now Xiao Sao has directly become the boss, and there will be huge dividends every year.

How could I not hit such good luck? Why is good luck contracted by Xiao Shi?

Almost every player will have such a feeling in their hearts, but James's jealousy is a little heavier.

If Kobe Bryant's discomfort with Chic comes from the fact that Chick wears the No. 24 jersey and has played a lot of wonderful performances on the court. Then, James's vinegar comes from these commercial transcendences off the court.

"I'm not unpleasant, just I'm a little uncomfortable." Dwyane Wade was asked about being squeezed out of the All-Star starter. replied very seriously.

The remarks of these Eastern All-Stars didn't affect Shaw, in fact, Shaw didn't pay attention to these things at all. For him. The All-Star Game isn't a battleground to watch. As far as he could understand, the All-Star Game was nothing more than a show of hustle and bustle with the fans, nothing more.

At this point, the most important task for Xiao Xiao is to integrate into the new team.

He's not here to join the slump lineup, he's here to win.

The Knicks' owner and president gave a very, very, very grand welcome and joy to the chic signing, and the fans in New York also gave very, very, very strong expectations. However, within the Knicks' players, this qiē doesn't seem to be as good as it could be.

The Knicks still pay a high luxury tax, but the number of people they can play is still limited. The men who received the highest salaries basically sat on the bench as water cooler keepers, and the four highest-paid guys like Stephen Marbury, Malikroos, Jerome James, and Eddie Curry basically didn't make the activation list.

The rest of the players who can play are basically the rookies who are still on their rookie contracts and some NBA Rangers who are constantly moving from team to team. On top of that, the guys who can still play are basically defenders.

Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford, Fred Jones, Quentin Richardson, Wilt Chandler, Mobley, Nate Robinson plus rookie Gallinarin. A large group of Frontguard Swingmen.

With such a dense lineup of guards, there are too many monks and less porridge, plus a wolf-like chic enter, can they welcome it?

Therefore, on the first day of the training camp, Xiao Xiao did not receive a very warm welcome.

Regarding the slightly cold attitude of the players, Xiao Xiao did not express any discomfort or discomfort. He just walked to a corner on his own after everyone said hello and practiced shooting on his own.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He had a good hand, and his shooting on the spot didn't change in the slightest because of this sudden injury.

After practicing shooting on the spot for nearly an hour, Xiao Shi suddenly remembered the fast shooting scene in his dream that day. So he quickly galloped up and suddenly pulled up the shot in various sprint states...... Bang bang

It feels better and better, and it feels better and better.

Xiao Sao found that he felt very good in an extremely high frequency state, although he was a certain distance from a hundred shots, but at least several notches better than ordinary dynamic shooting.

This made Xiao Sao extremely pleasantly surprised, because it meant that in addition to entering the god-killing state, he had one more stable output of scores.

Moreover, the most suitable tactic for this steady scoring output is the New York Knicks, because the core tactical idea of the Knicks is to run and shoot. If you stay with the Clippers and use this kind of sprint-and-gun shooting on a regular basis, it will definitely break the coaching staff, but there is no such thing to worry about with the Knicks, because basically everyone does it.

Xiao Sa was ecstatic, practiced for nearly two hours, and basically the hit rate was able to maintain around 60%.

This is already a very unnatural hit rate, and when it comes to the game, even if it drops 20%, there is a 40% hit rate. This hit rate is not a drop, not to mention that with a dashing level, how can the transition from the training ground to the field drop two percent of the hit rate?

At this time, Xiao Xiao is happy, and he likes the feeling of improving his skills, because it means that he has added another layer to the dominance of the game.

Just when Xiao Shao's face was full of happiness, a familiar voice sounded behind him: "Hey, Xiao." Aren't you going to eat? ”

Xiao Shao turned around, and Mobley asked himself with a smile on his face. There was also a black man in a suit standing next to him, Xiao Shi looked at this guy and felt very familiar, he thought about it, and quickly remembered. Hurriedly walked over and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to greet him: "Hello, Stephen, I'm your fan." No... It should be said that I am your student. I fell in love with basketball after watching your videos. ”

Xiao Dash respected the man in front of him very much, and his eyes even showed a hint of admiration.

And Stephen Marbury, who was dressed in a suit, obviously didn't expect that the guy in front of him, who was the hope of the Knicks' revitalization, would worship himself so much, and this worship was from the heart. This made him regain some energy from his tired face, he smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xiao Shao: "I'm glad that my video can make you fall in love with basketball, and it's also my honor." ”

"No, it's my pleasure." Xiao Sa said very seriously: "I have always wanted to meet you, and I want to discuss with you about breakthroughs. The last time I spoke to Iverson, he gave me a lot of new revelations. Now, I've finally got this opportunity, and I'm actually teammate on the same team as you. Ha ha! Half a year ago, I never dreamed of that1! ”

The chic tone is very excited, like a fan.

In fact, Xiao Xiao himself admitted deep down that his breakthrough was more influenced by Marbury than Iverson, because Marbury's initiation was more approachable, but the timing was very accurate. Iverson's breakthrough is more strongly characterized by speed and tempo.

Of course, now the dashing breakthrough is a mixture of the strengths of all the families, and the completion has formed its own distinctive characteristics.

Faced with the scarlet admiration, Stephen Marbury suddenly felt a little proud. Because it's really cool to be so adored by a future potential superstar. In the last two or three years, he has been snubbed and ridiculed, and now there is a city hero who respects and worships himself so much, and this contrast creates a strong sense of pleasure in him. Soon, he had a very strong sense of identification with Xiao Sa, so he nodded: "I will definitely give you a lot of Jianyi." ”

"Thank you so much." Xiao thanked his face with a full face, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria to eat!" ”

"No, I'll invite you to a big dinner outside. I appreciate you. Stephen Marbury made a very solemn invitation, what Marbury lacks most now is recognition, and now Xiao has so much respect for himself, of course he wants to do his best to be a landlord, after all, he is not short of money at all.
