The Knicks took out Milwaukee to win four straight and fly further north to Toronto.

Although Bogut accused Eddie Curry of lack of sportsmanship like a girl after the game, the league still didn't take this little bump seriously, let alone add any bans.

The Knicks' leaky flight headed for Toronto, where they once again overpowered the Raptors in Canada, on the Raptors' home court.

The Raptors are not an underdog, they made the playoffs last season and have improved a lot this season.

However, the Knicks really played out of order.

Even Phil Jackson couldn't guess their next move, so how could the Raptors guess right?

From the first quarter, they were behind, then the second quarter was further behind, then the third quarter was powerless, and the fourth quarter was garbage time.

The Knicks even showed a crushing posture, which made many basketball experts unbelievable.

Although they all guessed that Sushi would get good data in the new season, they didn't expect the Knicks to start with five consecutive wins and directly rush to the top of the league.

Suhi won the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week award, averaging 33.3 points, 11.7 assists, 10.2 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game.

This data is not unprecedented, but it is definitely the first level in the league today.

What's more, the record is also far ahead.

The New York media directly blew up Suhey, and the flattering words they used in the media sounded even better than Scarlett, Jessica, and Fox in bed.

They wanted to get down on their knees and shout: Suhey's father.

It's their heartfelt roar.

It also made James Dolan's toes tense with laughter, and as a capitalist, he once again raised the price of home tickets, and raised the offer of courtside advertising sponsorship to astronomical numbers.

But even so, it still can't stop the rich people in New York.

The Knicks are hot right now.

Even if their next opponent is the Indiana Pacers, some of them have a heartfelt belief that the Knicks can win this game.

The Pacers also have a good record after losing Suhey, losing just one game, away to the San Antonio Spurs.

And it was lost at a critical time in the fourth quarter.

Many teams say that the Pacers have not significantly weakened since Marbury joined, and they are still the strongest contenders for the championship.

As for the outcome of the Pacers' away game against the Knicks, the vast majority thought the Pacers would win. Even the New York media didn't presumptuously say that the Knicks would win.

After all, boasting also has to pay attention to the Basic Law.

It's not a shame to lose to the Pacers, to the defending champions.

The Knicks are just getting started, and they have already won five consecutive championships, so what kind of bike do you want?

It's rare for the New York media to show some tolerance.

The game was also broadcast live across the United States by TNT.

The buzz and anticipation of this game are high.

After all, it was the first time Suxi faced his old club after the transaction. Everyone is looking forward to whether they can make a small spark.

And before this game, Suhee met Larry Brown.

To be precise, he went to interview Larry Brown.

It's a bit of a feng shui turn.

James Dolan's passion for basketball has been very high recently, and he has not missed the analysis of the basketball media: people are like this, and they don't think about anything when they are rotten. Once there is an improvement, I want to go further, and I always think that what is not good enough.

James Dolan is currently a fanatical trader, and he wants to recruit a strong helper for Suhi, and it is better to replace all the stinky fish and shrimp in the team, and in his opinion, money is not important.

It is important to turn the salted fish over.

However, having money is not everything.

The rest of the NBA teams are not stupid, why should you James Dolan trade if you want to, and people don't want stinky fish and shrimp. And now, everyone doesn't dare to engage in any under-the-table agreements on this kind of thing. So, it's actually very difficult to trade, because most of the players haven't been traded for a good bird.

Unable to make a quick trade, James Dolan wanted to strengthen the coaching staff.

The Knicks are now criticized the most for defense, and 11 out of 10 experts say that the Knicks' defense is 10,000 stabs, and there is no defense at all from the inside out.

It's a fact.

So, James Dolan wanted to find the best defensive assistant coach.

He inquired and Larry Brown had the best defense.

So, he called Larry Brown and asked Larry Brown to come over.

On the phone, James Dolan said that money is not a problem, give you an annual salary of tens of millions.

But the prerequisite is to be able to pass Sushi's approval.

Honestly, if it had been 2 years ago, Larry Brown would have Dolan right on the phone.

Am I a well-known coach and a 21-year-old player recognized? I'm a bastard with all my qualifications?

But now, he's not so proud.

In other words, pride has been defeated.

Otherwise, he would not have resigned from the Pistons.

The Pistons are the best team of his dreams, teamwork, selflessness, iron-bloodedness, and toughness. It stands to reason that this team will definitely be able to carry forward under him and win the championship.

However, the fact is that they were subdued by Su Xigan, and Ben Wallace went to Chicago to earn an annual salary of 20 million.

He also jumped ship and ran away.

Now, the Knicks are willing to give an annual salary of tens of millions, and he doesn't want to miss this opportunity, who will have trouble with money.

You know, he hasn't received an annual salary of 10 million in his entire career.

Looking at the entire league, there are no head coaches with tens of millions of annual salaries for the time being, even Phil Jackson and Popovich.

So, here comes Larry Brown.

…

Su Xi had just finished her date with Scarlett Johansson and was about to go to the training gym to train. James Dolan called and arranged for a car to pick him up and take him to the office.

Suhi walked into James Dolan's conference room and saw the old rival.

Larry Brown originally wanted to pretend, but when he saw James Dolan quickly get up and run to greet Suhey, he also had to stand up and take the initiative to extend his hand to Susie.

This is no longer the case.

The current alliance is not the same as before.

The most rebellious player Larry Brown has ever seen before is Allen Iverson, who says he doesn't train if he doesn't train, and he doesn't do dirty work if he doesn't do dirty work.

At that time, Larry Brown was quite principled, but he also had to pull down his face to talk to Iverson well, occasionally hit a stick, and quickly handed over sweet dates. In fact, it was also under his command that he helped Iverson achieve the highest achievement of his career: reaching the finals.

At that time, Larry Brown's strategy for Iverson was to let Iverson play shooting guard and let him score happily, and the other four people helped him defend and do all kinds of dirty work.

It's a bit like the current Cavaliers, with Mike Brown somewhat learning from Larry Brown's model.

However, James wants more than Iverson, who enjoys the killing as long as he scores well. James wants to score stats, assists, rebounds, counter-attack fast breaks, and have a good reputation.

This is more of a test of Mike Brown's flexible baseline thinking, so James' positional sense is very erratic, and he is nominally the team's small forward. But as a small forward, he doesn't defend the opposing team's arrow missions. Sometimes he plays shooting guard, but he doesn't play in the hardest defensive position to score and bite on. Sometimes, he plays point guard, but he doesn't want to dribble against the most pesky defenses.

All in all, James is a person who has a relatively high pursuit.

Where it is easy to produce results, he will swing to where he is, and the degree of blood sucking is higher.

After shaking hands with Suhee, the three of them sat down, Suxi sat next to James Dolan, who had already set up two boss chairs.

From this position, it can be seen that Suhi's status in the Knicks is not comparable to Iverson in the Philadelphia 76ers back then.

Although Iverson was also favored back then, it didn't get to this extent.

"Jack, you come to ask questions, I'll only bring ears." James Dolan gives Suhi the important task of the interview.

Su Xi thought about it seriously and said: "Most of the players in our team have no defensive awareness, and their physical conditions are hungry and can't keep up, what do you think we have to do?" ”

"I think the best way to do that is to trade, at least to trade for a defensive interior lineman. Echo your inner and outer lines. On the wings I think Trevo Ariza is good, and Jalen Rose is average. Jamal Crawford, in fact, I think it could be traded for a 3-and-D player. ”

Larry Brown said.

He apparently made detailed preparations.

This is indeed a measure that can quickly improve the strength of the team, and it is very feasible.

At this point, Larry Brown said, "It's better to make a supplement from Indiana and trade Artest or Stephen Jackson over..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Sushi waved his hand and said, "Then why am I leaving Indiana?" ”

Larry Brown also got a little tougher when he heard Suhey say this, saying, "Then do you want to win the championship or do you want to be a superstar with a personal data explosion." ”

"I want to win the championship and become the leader of the league with a personal data explosion." Suhee told Larry Brown very clearly.

Ambitious, radiant, and imposing surround Larry Brown.

Larry Brown was a bit of a squeeze at the time.

Halfway through, he said, "You mean, this lineup doesn't move?" ”

"Minor adjustments, I'm here to do something that breaks the conventions of history."

"Then it's hard for you to win the championship, at least not for three years." Larry Brown said.

"I think so."

"Difficult."

The two of them hit the bar.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff.

James Dolan knocked on the table, and he asked Suhey, "Didn't negotiate?" ”

Suhee smiled and said, "That's for Mr. Larry Brown." ”

Larry Brown stood up and said, "If you ask me to be a coach, I can only play in a system of players I trust. With the current Knicks roster, I don't feel like I can play my game. Even if Suxi the Sheep is very strong, a strong person cannot drive a team, especially a team without an overall defense. This is the basic law of the basketball court. ”

Suhi stopped talking.

Then James Dolan stood up and said, "In that case, we can't continue." Thank you for coming, we will reimburse you for the round-trip air ticket accommodation. ”

James Dolan stood on Suhey's side without any suspense.

This annoys Larry Brown, who thinks Suhee and Dolan are humiliating him.

He dropped a sentence: "You will regret it, you will never win the championship like this." Suhey the Sheep, you think more highly of yourself than Iverson. ”

With that, he stepped away.

As he leaves the office, he vows to make Suhi and Dolan regret it.

He's going to get the word out about it.

If you don't respect the defense, can you win the championship if you don't respect the defense?

If you don't trade players, if you don't trade players, you'll die.

Still thinking about becoming the ruler of the Alliance, dream about you.

Larry Brown is sure that if he says these words, Suhee and the Knicks will definitely be criticized by public opinion.

How can there be such an arrogant person.

It wasn't long before Larry Brown received a call from ESPN, who invited him to become a TV show analyst.

He originally didn't like this job very much, because he had a bad temper, he didn't speak funny, and he didn't like to talk nonsense and not please young fans.

On top of that, ESPN doesn't offer a quarter of the salary of the Knicks.

However, now he has no choice to carry it, and he almost does not have any hesitation, so he says, "You guys should contact my agent." ”

He agreed to the terms.

After Larry Brown left, James Dolan didn't ask about basketball at all, instead he talked to Sushih about something that had nothing to do with basketball.

For example, recently a TV station wanted to invite Suxi to shoot a TV series, and James Dolan said that if Suxi was willing, he could find time to shoot, and he wouldn't mind this.

Also, he said that he had friends who wanted to find Su Xi to endorse, and he had already pulled the strings.

And before leaving, he also gave Suxi a few bottles of rare red wine from the top French estate.

Dolan did trust Sushi unconditionally. No matter how much Su Xi said before sounded like a violation of the fundamental law.

…

Suhey had absolutely no idea that Larry Brown had joined the anti-Soviet stronghold ESPN.

He chatted happily with Carlisle at Madison Garden, and Carlisle said, "When I win my third championship in Indiana, do you want me to come to New York to help you?" ”

Su Xi smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome." Still, I think your third championship will be lifted by the Knicks. ”

"You're still so confident, but we're not going to show mercy tonight, and we're going to have to go back to Indiana with the best record in the East."

"That's a pity."

While the two were chatting, Ron Artest also ran over: "Hey, Jack, take me away." New York is my hometown, and I still love playing in New York. ”

"No, Ron. You've got two championship rings, you can't want that. I'm definitely not going to recruit you. Suhi told him, "I don't want people to say that my third championship was won by my old teammates. You know what the ESPN guys love to talk about the most. ”

"They're just a bunch of boys, and if you're in black, I'm sure you're already a basketball god, and they're going to compare you to Michael Jordan every day. Instead of taking that disgusting LeBron James. "Atay is as upright as ever.

Stephen Jackson joins in, and he says the same thing.

He wanted to play with Suhi, he wanted to play with Suhi in New York.

Looking across the Indiana locker room, who wouldn't want to?

Their desire to rebuild a new Pacer at the Knicks couldn't be stronger.

Probably only Stephen Marbury, the son of New York, doesn't want to return to the Knicks.
