When the New York Knicks officially announced that Isaiah Thomas would also appear on the team as head coach in the new season, even the New York media burst into some boos.

It's clear that Isaiah Thomas hasn't built a trusted identity in the Big Apple over the past two seasons.

As time went on and the Knicks didn't follow up on it, the expectations in the media for the Knicks' new season were getting lower and lower.

When Suhi first joined, it was thought that the Knicks would be a powerhouse in the East, with at least 50 wins in the new season and a place in the top half of the playoffs.

But now, with the clock moving from June to September, the speculation on the Knicks is: Can Sushy the Sheep lead this ship-breaking team to the playoffs?

With the arrival of the new season, the media has made a lot of forward predictions.

The San Antonio Spurs are considered the favourites to win the title, as they have gone strong despite not making significant additions in the offseason.

The second is the Miami Heat, the Heat made a lot of reinforcements in the offseason, and a group of elite players such as James Posey and Gary Payton joined. They all want to follow O'Neal's peak tail and win a championship.

Suhi's former club, the Indiana Pacers, is seeded No. 3 to win the championship, which is not a high ranking for a two-time champion. After all, they lost Suhi. While Stephen Marbury is believed to be able to make up for the lack of the No. 1 spot in a big way, some upbeat comments even say that Marbury is more capable of scoring than Suhi, and that the Pacers can go to the next level.

In addition to the three teams, the Detroit Pistons have taken a complete break, Larry Brown has resigned, and Ben Wallace has accepted the maximum salary offered by the Chicago Bulls... Having been knocked down for two consecutive seasons, the Pistons have lost the courage to charge for the third time.

Their civilian myth is only half done.

In addition, notable teams include the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and more.

Suhey and the Knicks are only predicted to be eighth in the East.

However, in the ranking of the top 100 stars of the season, Suhi's name is ranked fifth, and the four stars in front of him are: Duncan, Garnett, O'Neal, and Kobe.

Suhi was fifth.

In addition, the highest-ranked third-year student is LeBron James, who is 10th, Wade 12th, and Carmelo Anthony 19th.

This ranking proves that Suhi is far ahead of the new generation.

But there are still many fans who are dissatisfied: why can Suhi the Sheep only rank fifth? He defeated Duncan, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant in a row to win the championship, and Garnett didn't even deserve to be compared to him.

That's why Suhi made the move, and a large part of his success at Indiana is credited with the Pacers as a whole.

There's a lot of bias in such labels.

It may be due to jealousy, it may be skin color.

All in all, Suhi has not been judged fairly and fairly in his professional basketball program, despite his enormous fame and commercial benefits in the United States.

At the same time, Suhi's lace news continued to burn in New York.

At the end of August, Suhey and Jessica Alba were photographed shopping in Manhattan, and Jessica gave her middle finger up when she was secretly photographed by the New York paparazzi. Subsequently, the paparazzi took the initiative to provoke: You are not as worthy as Scarlett standing in front of Suxi the sheep standing next to him.

This infuriates Jessica, a Los Angeles girl, who throws up her backpack and tries to teach the paparazzi a lesson.

But was stopped by Suxi, who left the scene with him.

This still sparks some public opinion.

A week later, Suhi and Scarlett attended the luxury brand's autumn show. At the scene, they showed their affection generously, Scarlett almost hung on Suxi, and they were inseparable. And was also photographed by the powerful paparazzi with a bug, Scarlett said to Suxi when she got into the car: Don't pity me tonight, kill me!

Such tiger and wolf words caused a frenzied chase in the New York media.

In mid-September, Suhi was photographed shooting Playboy magazine, and was also the global face of a luxury brand's lipstick collection, and his pictorial appeared in the most prominent position in Times Square.

At the same time, Suhi also had a lot of business activities in New York, and he was often photographed attending various events.

As the most famous athlete in the world, Suhi's every move has received intense attention.

Even if he went to the Atlantic to cut the ribbon, it was considered to be a consumption.

Suhi's wealth and fame are rapidly increasing, and Vanity Fair in New York welcomes Suhi with the biggest pose.

However, this has also raised concerns among the more professional sports media, who fear that Suhi will be corrupted by the New York fame and fortune circle, leading to a decline in professional ability.

You know, Suxi's degenerate teammates are not at Suxi's level, they are just lost in the bright lights of New York. Suhi is now higher, more famous, and so young, can he resist the great magic of New York?

There is a proverb in the United States, if you love someone, send him to New York. If you hate someone, send him to New York.

Now, Suhi has come to New York.

What kind of fate will he have?

Many Knicks fans are worried.

…

October is fast approaching.

Teams across the league have opened their training camps.

The Knicks' training camp was held in the Syracuse University basketball arena, which was clearly carefully arranged by management. Suhi is from Syracuse University, and he helped Syracuse win its first championship in history, as well as the first player in NCAA history to score a quadruple-double in the Finals.

The Knicks' new season starts here, and it's a great idea.

When Suhi arrived at the school, he met with the school leaders, most of his teammates had graduated, but there were also those who stayed as assistant coaches, and everyone was doing very well.

They met again, and there was no estrangement because of the change of status, and everyone still chatted and talked as before.

However, the head coach was a little restrained, he used to want to keep Suxi by his side all the time, and let Suxi help him build a strong team. Who knew that Suhi took off directly, entered the NBA in one season, and now he is actually coming from behind, and his achievements are even greater than Carmelo Anthony.

After meeting with old friends, Suhi heads to the arena.

Before I even entered the locker room, I smelled pungent puffs of smoke.

It's okay, not the damn smell.

However, when I walked in, I saw Eddie Curry and Jerome James and Jalen Rose sitting slumped there, one with a flooded gun in his mouth.

I saw Sushi come in.

Eddie Curry offered to reach out and say hello: "Hey, Jack. Come and get a taste of our New York specialty? ”

"No, I'm not interested in this thing."

"Don't be afraid of my man, there's no stuff here. It's a pick-me-up, and we use this ritual every season to lift our spirits and tell us that the new season has started and we're going to be in competitive shape. ”

Suhi glanced down, these three people, each of them is pot-bellied, Eddie Curry is fat into a ball, Jerome James has long been without the posture of a professional player, Jalen Rose is slightly better, but his face is also swollen.

The NBA's depravity has come in a variety of ways, but the results are all similar: a decline in athletic form, a ruin in the locker room, and a decline in the team's effectiveness.

None of these three people wanted anything to do in the future.

Jerome James' contract year broke out, and after cheating Isiah Thomas of a big contract, he basically lay flat. He doesn't want to play, he has no interest in cheating on the last contract, so it's good to just occupy the pit and not.

Eddie Curry has long since lost the temperament of the high school double treasure of the year, and the only thing he is now close to and surpassing O'Neal is weight.

He may still get another contract in the NBA, but it's basically a base salary.

Jalen Rose has played all his life, and most of his contemporaries have retired, so what motivation does he have?

Suhee frowned, feeling sorry for the bad air in the Knicks.

He quickly changed his jersey and shoes, and then said, "Who let you bring this thing in?" ”

"Isaiah!"

Eddie Curry said: "He also likes to have two bites, and he took us to smoke. ”

Belch!!!!

Suxi was stunned.

He knew that the smiling assassin had a heavy habit, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy. With the players pumping and drowning to get closer, the management of the whole league may do just that.

Suhi left the locker room and walked into the arena, where Isaiah Thomas was taking makeup photos.

He warmly greeted the players to stand and told everyone that the reporters were ready to enter the field in about 30 minutes, and everyone was more positive.

Suhi met Anfernee Hardaway on the sidelines, Hardaway's figure is well maintained, although he has added some muscles compared to his peak, but the overall line can still see the chic and elegant posture of the year. Compared to the three lumps in the locker room, the professional attitude is much better.

"Hello, Anferne." Suxi took the initiative to walk over to say hello.

"Hello, Jack."

They hugged each other warmly.

Suhi then asked him how he was doing, and Hardaway said fine, he went to a lot of doctors in the offseason, including Chinese medicine practitioners, and he felt that his body was not as painful as before, and he thought he would be able to play in the preseason.

Su Xi said that let him rest more, don't rush to play, and find the most important thing.

Suhi is still wearing the No. 30 jersey in the Knicks, and soon began to shoot makeup photos.

Before that, a couple of young rookies came over to say hello to Suxi. Although Su Xi is a little younger than all of them, on the basketball court, seniority is not ranked according to age. With a two-time Finals MVP and a regular season MVP standing in front of you, it's hard not to be respectful.

Nate Robinson, Channingflye, Turyaf, and second-grader Trevor Ariza came over to greet Suhi.

Su Xi didn't say anything to them, nor did she do anything to woo them, and remained polite.

After taking the makeup photoshoot, the Knicks opened up the reporters.

The Knicks' training camp attracts a lot of reporters every season, and their media attention in the largest city is one of the best in the NBA.

It's just that the New York media is more picky, they are not like the Los Angeles media, which basically praises the players, while in New York, the media does not distinguish between the home team players, they play badly, and all kinds of vicious language greets them.

It would even put pressure on management to trade players for the New York Knicks.

The same goes for New York fans, who give the loudest cheers when the team is playing well, but if the team is not playing well, they cheer or even boo or cheer on the opposing player.

Many people say that the New York media and New York fans are the most short-sighted group and that they have done nothing to help the Knicks grow.

The most ridiculous thing the Knicks have ever done is to send away Patrick Ewing, the team's decorated player.

So why did you send away Ewing, who had made a great contribution?

The New York media came up with a famous Ewing law, they frantically advertised that 'the team played better without Ewing', and under this public opinion, coupled with the fans cheering him down, and Ewing's own strength declined, so Ewing was finally sent away.

This was a devastating blow to the Knicks' recruitment, and many superstars basically did not come to New York after seeing what happened to Ewing.

This is why so many people opposed Suhi's move to New York in the first place.

But Su Xi doesn't care about this, Su Xi wants to prove himself, he is going to take the most difficult path.

He was surrounded by reporters, who filled it with questions they wanted to ask him.

"Jack, what is your goal in joining the Knicks? What are your hopes for the new season? ”

"What else could it be?" Sushi shrugged his shoulders, and he asked the reporter with a smile.

After a pause, he continued, "As for what is expected? I don't have expectations this season, play well, hit the road first, and then look for answers on the road. ”

"Can't you even look forward to the playoffs this season?" The reporter asked with some frustration.

"Of course, you can hope for it. But that's not what I wanted. Suhi replied.

"What do you think of the squad at the moment? Are you worried about the chemistry with your teammates? ”

"I'm not worried about chemistry. I think the squad is good, we have players in all five positions. ”

"Where will you play in the new season? Is it a shooting guard, or a point guard? ”

"It's okay, I don't limit myself. It's up to Isaiah Thomas to play where to play. ”

"The last time you worked with Isaiah Thomas you won the Olympic title. Do you think you'll bring that good fortune to the NBA? ”

"I don't think it takes luck to win. None of the teams that can win the championship rely on luck. ”

"Do you think Isaiah Thomas' coaching level is good? Do you think the team needs to strengthen defensively? ”

"He's coaching at a very high level in the FIBA system, and we haven't had training sessions in the NBA, so we can't answer. Any team needs to strengthen their defense. ”

"Would you be disappointed that the Knicks didn't make any other signings in the offseason? Do you regret joining the Knicks? There were a lot of other teams chasing you at the time. ”

"I wasn't disappointed. I never regret it. Joining the Knicks was the best option for me, and I know the Knicks have problems like this or that, but that's why I joined the Knicks. I'm here to prove myself. ”

"So the way you prove yourself is to win the championship?"

"Or else?"

Su Xi's quick questions and answers are still in the style of rhetorical questions.

New York journalists need to get used to it.

However, Suhey's answer made them extremely informative and excited.

Suhi is going to win the championship, and that's what New York needs.

And all the interviews today will be condensed into one sentence: Sushi wants to prove himself, he wants to lead the Knicks to a championship!
