Chapter 19: [Everyone in our team is an elite]

Suhi called a meeting at half-time.

A meeting that would later be called 'great'.

Since joining the Knicks, Suhey has never exercised his say as a team leader in the locker room, and he's been on the sidelines. On the training ground, he doesn't interfere with anyone's training, of course he has his own actions, he has a bunch of players and gradually becomes the majority of the team.

When Suhi slapped her palms to summon the players together, everyone was even a little strange.

"I think it's time to say something to everyone."

Suhi said: "I know that my joining the New York Knicks is a shock, even an incredible, for many of you. ”

"I left Indiana to prove myself because I hate being questioned, and I don't want to be pointed at the nose and say, 'You can only do this, you can only win the championship under the protection of Indiana.' I'm sure you don't want to be labeled like that, and you don't want to be questioned, and that's one of the reasons I chose to join New York. ”

"There were a lot of teams that threw an olive branch out to me this summer, and they offered better terms than the Knicks, and they were considered closer to success there. Like the Lakers, like Dallas. ”

"Almost everyone around me, my agent, my college alumni, my friends in Indiana, my business partners... They all want me to go to the Lakers, and maybe I can turn Kobe Bryant into Pippen. Everybody is bullish on me and Kobe Bryant, and I still have a lot of business in California. But I didn't choose there, I chose here, I chose this team that claims to be cursed, and you guys. ”

"When I came here, a lot of people suggested that I use my privilege to direct the team to make big trades, including James Dolan, Isaiah Thomas... They all hinted at me or asked me explicitly. ”

"But I didn't. Why? Because I want to fight for the championship with you, and with you guys who are not favored or even cursed by the media fans. ”

This sentence is very hypocritical, and even a little false. But it's true, because I'm going to prove myself, I'm going to prove to those who question me, that I can win with a bunch of cursed players. ”

"No one can define me but myself."

"Before the game started, I turned down Larry Brown. He wanted to come over as an assistant coach, and he wanted to make a trade to strengthen him, but I turned him down. I don't want to make a trade, I'm just going to go for a championship with a roster like that. ”

"If I told the media, they would laugh at me like crazy. But don't you think... Is it more valuable to say that the ideal that will be ridiculed is more realized? ”

"I'm sure you, like me, are indomitable. Do you really want to take a high salary and lie flat on the bench, let the ridicule take your own hands? ”

"I don't believe it."

"I think everybody wants to have a glorious time when they were old and lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun and still feeling their blood boiling when they recall."

"I repeat, I'm going to win!"

"We're going to win!"

Su Xi said sonorously.

His gaze scanned around with determination, and he collided with everyone's eyes. He wants to kill the hesitation and cowardice in everyone's eyes, and he wants everyone to lift their spirits. He wants to condense the fighting spirit of this team that has been broken and even stepped into the mud.

There was something strong and alive in the dressing room, and although some players avoided Suhi's eyes, there was no uplifting response in the dressing room.

But the seeds have already been planted, and the roots and germination will definitely come naturally.

After Suhi finished saying these words, he high-fived Eddie Curry, because Eddie Curry's emotions were so intense that it seemed that he even wanted to pinch one of his own eggs to prove that his blood was boiling and his male hormones were bursting.

Also there are Jalen Rose, Tony Barty, Nate Robinson, David Lee, Channing Frye, Trevor Ariza.

When Suhi and Ariza finished high-fivering, a hand took the initiative to reach over, and Suxi didn't expect that it was Jerome James.

This guy has been tossed enough in the past few days, but at this time, his passion is burning.

Then there's Quentin Richardson, Jamal Crawford....

Everyone high-fived Sushi.

Suhi's words struck a strong chord with them.

Who wants to be a wreck?

Who wants to be scolded by someone pointing at the backbone?

Who wouldn't want to stay in New York and eat spicy food?

If Sushi leads them to a championship, they can imagine what kind of fame and fortune they can achieve in New York City.

For New York, a championship can make the whole city go crazy.

Since Sushi was willing to lead the charge, there was no reason why they should not respond.

Whether it is for the realization of personal values, or for material gain.

Isaiah Thomas was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Suxi to actually complete the last wave of the united front like this, he made everyone closely rally around him, and he had a program.

Moreover, there is an unspeakable ideal that is not afraid of being ridiculed.

Suhi called him over and asked him to set up his tactics.

The smiling assassin was relieved.

When arranging tactics, he obviously found that the players' cooperation has become higher, and the excitement and concentration have also improved visibly.

Meanwhile, the visiting dressing room is also in session.

It was a 'heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand' solidarity rally.

Carlisle, Artest, O'Neal Jr., and Jackson respectively appeared to speak, telling Stephen Marbury about the team culture of the Pacers, the importance of the team's tactical system, and how individual honor and team honor are inseparable and complement each other.

The truth is good.

Everyone is also sincere and wants to bring Stephen Marbury back.

But Stephen Marbury said only one thing in the end: "Can I make a name for myself tonight and take victory away?" ”

"It's my demons. I have to get over this, can you feel the feeling of being cursed by more than 20,000 people at the same time? And it's still my hometown! ”

Marbury also said it sincerely.

Even emotionally agitated to the point of a little ranting.

Then, Rick Carlisle decided to look at the big picture, and he gave Marbury this opportunity, and he rearranged the tactics with Marbury at the core, which was in fact also the script of Suhi Carry.

But he didn't say it, because he knew that Marbury would definitely not be able to reach Suhey's achievement, so as not to blow his self-esteem. 、

Backbite!

The whistle blows and the game continues.

Both Marbury and the Knicks showed great ambition when they came on the court.

Marbury arrived in front of the court with the ball, O'Neal Jr. covered him, he suddenly accelerated to the penalty area, Suhi was blocked by O'Neal Jr. with a big foul lateral movement behind him.

However, Marbury entered the restricted area, and his layup was slapped on the rebound by Channingfry.

Because Eddie Curry in front of him opened his arms to block, this time Eddie Curry's defensive position was surprisingly good and he didn't rush in. Just the right amount for Stephen Marbury to dodge, Channingfrye, a rookie, chased after him, and the lanky man played his part and slapped Marbury's basketball away.

Then, Crawford rushed in and grabbed the basketball in front of Artest.

This is very rare.

It requires a high level of concentration.

Crawford grabbed the basketball and pushed forward, he wanted to give it to Suhi, but Suhey let him execute it himself.

When he came to the frontcourt, Suhi made a quick off-ball run, quickly bypassing him, Artest's defense had to relax a little, Suhi's off-ball ability was known to the entire Pacers.

Atai's relaxation and distraction, Crawford came directly to a dry pull.

He's a crazy scorer.

He dares to strike in any situation.

It's a gambler.

Swish!

The basketball was caught.

The Knicks' margin continues to widen.

Looking back, the Knicks' defensive focus has improved significantly.

As the Pacers execute Marbury's core playbook, their overall offense is slipping, and this decline gives the Knicks more confidence.

When you are able to limit the defending champion's attack through hard work, you will naturally be more motivated.

The two sides have come and gone, but the difference has been further widened.

Carlisle has observed significant changes in the Knicks, who are becoming more confident, playing more boldly on the offensive end and more focused on the defensive end. He even saw a little bit of a strong team in the Knicks.

This shocked him inside, and he thought: Oops! Offense and defense have changed shape. Jack, this is going to use us to forge their bones.

However, even if he knew Suxi's purpose, there was no way for him to change it.

This is an upright conspiracy.

From the moment Carlisle chose to let Marbury go it alone, trying to erase his demons. It was already destined to be such an outcome.

The more the Knicks played, the more confident they became.

The more the walker fights, the more aggrieved he becomes: the power is clearly in front of him, but he can't get it.

Director Zhang on the other side of the ocean gave a classic quote that poked at the core of this game: "One soldier will bear a nest." ”

What qualifies Stephen Marbury to replace Sushi in the Pacers?

Suhee debunks the brutal truth.

In the fourth quarter, Marbury went off the court for a while, and the Pacers tried to fight back, but were unsuccessful.

They didn't replicate the first half of the second quarter.

This is the Knicks' progress.

The Knicks gradually formed a unit, and their offensive efficiency declined under the Pacers' strong defensive system, but they still firmly controlled the lead.

And, people keep coming forward.

Suhi is energizing the whole team.

As he says, he's making every player better.

If you get better, you can win, you can win the championship!

The Pacers declared garbage time with 4:19 left in the game as they trailed by 23 points.

Although Marbury was reluctant, what could he do.

He scored 13 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 6 turnovers in the whole game.

With both teams using the bench, the Pacers recovered eight points.

In the end, they still lost the game 102-117.

The Knicks had the last laugh, and they still maintained an unbreakable record in the new season.

However, this match is very different from the previous victories. They beat the Pacers in this game and began to develop some tough systems, and they worked together silky well and formed a replicable tactical line.

This is the essence of fighting to feed war, and the system formed through continuous fighting is more resilient.

A lot of teams understand this, but they often don't guarantee victory when it comes to doing it. Without a record, what's the difference between rebuilding and rotting?

Suhi is only winning while building a century-old building on the ruins.

'I don't have anything to say about Stephen Marbury, he's a good player, he just didn't play well tonight. Perhaps, he was influenced by the fans, you know, the New York fans are very good at playing with mentality. ”

"I don't know what misunderstanding there was between the New York fans and him, it's all in the past. I came to the Knicks to look forward. ”

"This win doesn't mean anything, the Pacers are still the top seeds. Of course, we will also work towards our goals. ”

"Our goal? Our goal is the championship, didn't we tell you a long time ago? ”

"Why not believe it? What's there to scruple about here. Did I come to New York, if not to win the championship, to see the night view of Manhattan? ”

"The Knicks don't need reinforcements, and I've never seen a team with an undefeated record need reinforcements."

'Our players are very strong and experienced. Isaiah Thomas is a shrewd manager who has master-level operations. He's like he's playing with mammoth marbles, you think he's throwing in marbles of different colors and never getting rid of them. But... When he inserts one of the most important marbles, you will find that he can eat the entire dragon in an instant. ”

"His IQ is not something that ordinary people can guess."

"And didn't you notice that the Knicks have averaged six double-doubles per game this season?"

"This is just the beginning, and Isaiah Thomas' boomerang is locking the throat of every team aiming to win the title."

Here are some of Suhi's post-match remarks.

It is generating a fierce public opinion reaction, is Isaiah Thomas's previous layout really so exquisite? Could the Knicks really win the championship? No kidding, they're all rubbish.

Can trash be turned into treasure?

Is it so magical?

When Isaiah Thomas was asked this question by reporters, he was completely confused.

When Su Xi said these words, he was improvised, and he didn't discuss it with him at all.

But the Smiling Assassin is a smart man.

When he heard the reporter say how Su Xi praised how exquisite his layout was, he subconsciously raised his chest and cleared his throat: "There is such a thing. ”

"I've done that."

"We don't have garbage contracts in the team."

"Everyone in our team is an elite, and everyone has the strength to withstand thousands of troops."
