Chapter 54: The Conquered Madison
PS. I'm dizzy today, let's write this chapter first, and I'll buy medicine later.
As if to satisfy the audience's demand, Zhang Kong raised one of his palms like a gladiator in the gladiatorial arena, pointed five fingers vertically at the ceiling, and then threw the basketball with the other hand to Zach Randolph, whose face was getting darker and more ugly.
"Smack!" This is the sound of Zach Randolph's hands clenching the basketball, and the fat on his fat arms is shaking because of it.
"Ula~~~" The audience cheered wildly, cheering for being able to continue to enjoy this rare feast, but at this moment, Zach Randolph jumped straight up.
At a distance of sixteen feet, he suddenly jumped at a distance of about one meter and a half from Zhang Kong, and quickly threw the basketball in his hand, which was a sudden attack, without any preparation in advance, and did not prepare for Zhang Kong to react, and more importantly, far enough away that it would be difficult to block in such a situation.
"He shouldn't be able to cover it this time." Zach Randolph thought to himself that although it was a bit shameless to say that the surprise attack was a bit embarrassing, it was much better than being blocked in a row, and in such a way.
But......
Syllable......
Zach Randolph's wide eyes were full of horror, he only saw Zhang Kong jump high, as if breaking free from the shackles of gravity, flying in the air, the stretched big hand, just right to reach the basketball that had just reached the commanding heights, the three fingers that touched the basketball suddenly forced, and waved down!
Syllable......
The basketball flew out like a cannonball, directly out of the sideline. flew straight to Ivanka and Paris, who were sitting on the sidelines.
"Smack!"
"Oh~~~"
The flying basketball hit Paris in the chest, and she instinctively reached out and hugged her chest.
"Hahaha ......" The audience of course could not let go of such a fragrant and exciting scene. Immediately cheered, there can be such a fragrant material in the wonderful duel, just this short few minutes is worth the ticket price.
The strange stimulation made Paris hot, she has always been bold, the well-known rich and unrestrained woman in the United States, holding the basketball with both hands, when Zhang Kong walked up to get the ball, it was Buzz who kissed the basketball on the basketball, and then threw it to Zhang Kong.
"Oh.................." Whistles and applause erupted.
Zhang Kong is really a little embarrassed, this woman is so arrogant, he doesn't like it in his heart. reluctantly pretended to turn a blind eye, but he was no longer in the mood to tease Randolph, a big man with his feet, and threw the basketball directly to the referee.
If you want to say that the most unhappy mood at the moment, there is no one more than Ivanka next to Paris. She was angry, angry, and dissatisfied, she was obviously sitting here, but Zhang Kong turned a blind eye to her.
To say that a woman's thinking is really unreasonable, the relationship between the two was originally a one-night stand of dew marriage, and after a night, the road went to one side, although Zhang Kong was entangled by the scandal that arose because of it, but the scandal is over, of course, there is no need to remember. He is not the kind of phoenix man who wants to enter Trump's family so that people can live and struggle for 30 years, although he is a little, and he has a clear intention of enjoying himself once again, but he is not in a hurry to the point of seeing a beautiful woman and picking up his pants.
In addition, Trump also specially made a little disguise, with big sunglasses and a sunhat, which can be said to be very different from the image of that night, if Zhang Kong can still recognize it, then there is really a ghost.
But...... It's better to persuade the tiger to be vegetarian than to reason with women, and there is nothing to say about this matter. Anyway, Miss Ivanka hated Zhang Kong in her heart.
After the restart, it was Zhang Kong who got the ball out of the field. So after kickoff, it's still the Knicks' possession. Marbury controlled the ball and roamed the three-point line for a few seconds before ...... Passed the ball to Big Hellandorf, who was a slasher.
"Fuck me!" Randolph was stunned the moment he received the basketball, but the audience laughed.
Marbury has long been unhappy with this lazy black fat man, and a large part of the Knicks' troubles are caused by this black fat man. Marbury had always been dissatisfied with Randolph, and now that he finally had the opportunity to see Randolph deflated, he certainly didn't want this to end like this.
Zhang Kong pushed him up from behind Randolph and smiled coldly: "What's the matter, black fat man, your teammates seem to be happy to see you make a fool of yourself?" Oh, and are they really your teammates? Or are you isolated by them? I feel sorry for you, Randolph, look at them, they are all standing on the side and watching the show, and you don't even have a friend......"
"Shut up......" Randolph was about to sneer, but found that the offensive time was approaching, and in a panic, he turned around and cut directly into the interior and threw the basketball in the direction of the rebound. Zhang Kong did not block Randolph from cutting into the inside line,
But of course, such a shot could not have dodged Zhang Kong's block, and this time Zhang Kong's block directly pinned the basketball above the rebound. After taking off the basketball, Zhang Kong did not continue to provoke Randolph, but passed the basketball directly to Gibson, and the game returned to normal again.
"Oh~~~~" The fans let out a sigh of disappointment, and they were very reluctant to end the show.
But they still gave Zhang Kong a cheer, the loudest cheer. Because of Zhang Kong's existence, they enjoyed an unprecedented 'show'.
However, in the box on the top floor of the Knicks stands, there was a person who couldn't calm down to enjoy this rare performance, and as Zhang Kong's performance continued, his face became more and more ugly, and the term of writing dissatisfaction was almost engraved on his face.
"Is this my team, is this my Knicks?" James Dolan said angrily. If there is money, James Dolan is definitely the richest group of people, he is the president and CEO of American Cable Systems, he is the executive chairman of Madison Square Garden, and the biggest boss of the New York Knicks. He is also the owner of the NHL's New York Rangers.
For so many years, he has endured the consequences of Isaiah Thomas's arbitrary actions, and he has paid a lot of money for it. James Dolan never took it seriously, because your little money really didn't seem like much to him. And he loves Isaiah Thomas from the bottom of his heart, and he's always wanted to bring Thomas to the New York Knicks since his playing days.
After Thomas became the general manager of the New York Knicks, James Dolan gave him a lot of power and put up with some of his troubles and the troubles he kept getting into trouble.
Until now, James Dolan couldn't take it anymore.
"New York Knicks, people are stupid and money comes quickly!" 》
Dolan is indeed rich, and the Knicks are only a small part of his vast family fortune. Of course, more importantly, even if they continue to give bad contracts, the Knicks have been profitable, the status of basketball Mecca has never been shaken, and New York fans have always been willing to spend lavishly. But in Dolan's eyes, he never saw the Knicks as his tool for profit, but as a business card for himself, a business card that made him the center of conversation in high society.
So, the last thing he can tolerate is that this business card starts to spoil.
Dolan is indeed rich, but he is unwilling to bear the name of a 'stupid person with a lot of money', which has affected his prestige and even more affected his image.
That's something Dolan can't tolerate. That's why he kicked Isaiah Thomas into the head coach position and put his reassuring Donnie Walsh in the general manager position, and his patience with Thomas has reached its limit.
Especially after watching today's game, the Knicks' unrelenting performance on the court made him completely disappointed with this team from top to bottom.
'We need to rebuild, Downey. It shouldn't be my team. New York shouldn't be such a team. James Dolan said angrily: "We need a superstar, a real superstar, a player who can lead the Knicks to the playoffs and compete for a championship, not Randolph or Marbury or anything like that." What I need are superstars like Wade, James, Howard, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen. Only such a player deserves to play the New York Knicks! ”
Regarding his boss's self-talk, Donnie Walsh said that he was under a lot of pressure. Which of these superstars is not the star of the team and is definitely not for sale?
There is a saying in football circles that 'the so-called non-sale is just that the price is not enough.' ’
Real Madrid's old man Florenti is a big believer in this sentence, and after his own offer was rejected, the most common thing he did was to smash it with a higher offer, until the small club obediently lay down and spread his legs......
But in the NBA, it doesn't work.
Salary parity, luxury tax, and various provisions greatly limit the freedom of player trading. This makes many problems that cannot be solved by having money.
"Or maybe it's him."
James Dolan looked at the center of the Madison Square Garden arena and opened his hands to receive the cheers of the audience. It is as if I saw a king who ascended the throne with the support of everyone, which is so dazzling.
"That's right, it's him!" James Dolan nodded affirmatively: "Donnie, all I want is him." That's the kind of leader the Knicks need! ”
"This?" Donnie Walsh had a look of embarrassment on his face.
Bringing Zhang Kong to Maddison is no easier than getting James and Wade, and it may even be more difficult, because he has an extremely low salary contract and there is almost no way to close a deal about him.
"Why, can't it be done?"
Noticing Dolan's eyes, beads of sweat suddenly oozed from Donnie's forehead.
"Well, I'll do my best."
"It's not enough to do your best, it's certain!" James Dolan said dissatisfiedly: "Don't care about luxury tax, don't care about salary, I've been paying luxury tax for so many years, I don't mind paying a few more years." As long as I get him, you can trade with any one of the Knicks. ”
The luxury tax thing, Dolan said he didn't pay attention to.
"Okay, boss!" It's a blessing to have a generous boss because you get to spend lavishly. But having a generous boss with high goals is more painful, because that represents
"However, BOSS, if you want to trade Zhang Kong, I'm afraid you won't have to wait until the end of this season to start. He only has two years on his contract, and by the end of the season we'll have more room to maneuver and it's easier to trade. ”
"Is it over the season?" James Dolan nodded, he still had that patience.
"BOSS, the real problem we have to solve now is the manager." Seeing that Dolan had listened to his opinion, Donnie immediately took the opportunity to speak.
"Head coach?" James Dolan glanced at the Knicks' bench, and the panicked Isaiah Thomas glanced at him, and his eyes involuntarily showed a look of disgust.
"You decide."
