Chapter 86: [What if I'm also a genius in ten thousand]
"Why are we always the ones who win?"
Isaiah Thomas made an eloquent statement at the post-match press conference. "Why are they called the strongest in the East, yet they have a four-game losing streak in front of us? Is it a coincidence? ”
"Why does LeBron get hurt every time he hits the Knicks? Is it an accident of fate or an entanglement of fate? ”
"Should we be afraid of the Cavaliers?"
Isaiah Thomas opened his arms at the press conference, and he seemed to have an aura like the king of New York.
When he said this, the reporters at the scene even burst into applause.
This is New York, and most of the people are behind the Knicks.
The more arrogant Isaiah Thomas became, the more proud they became.
Thomas is so crazy, but McBrown is very low-key, and he only emphasized LeBron's unexpected injury tonight and their lack of understanding when it comes to switching offense and defense.
As for the rest, they don't make comments.
They also didn't say a word about the Knicks sweeping them this season.
How can you mention it?
It can only be said that the Cavaliers did not use their full strength.
But when this kind of thing is said, it can only attract ridicule.
I don't say it, I just don't hear it.
Lest someone say: Why is it always you who is hurt?
Milicic was in the spotlight of the basketball media after the game, and his super triple-double showed the world the talent he deserved.
No one ever said he was a parallel import.
He got a triple-double in front of O'Neal, and he played very versatile.
Moreover, the media generally believed that he played a whole new genre of center forwards.
Of course, some people say that his success is inseparable from the Knicks' system, and without the Knicks' system, he is still useless.
This kind of saying is familiar.
That's what they used to say about Suhey.
Of course, this does not mean that Milicic will reach the same heights as Sushi in the future.
However, Milicic's 'words' have been tested at the same level.
The media took out a magnifying glass to examine his super triple-double center, who had just made a strong recovery: he actually wanted to help the Knicks return to No. 1? He actually wants Suxi to win the MVP three times in a row?
All of a sudden, the media discussed it.
A return to No. 1 is theoretically possible.
After all, there are still eight games.
In the focus battle just past, the Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to close the difference.
Next, they're going to face magic again.
Will they be able to resist the magic?
The Magic are the hardest hitting team.
The media is discussing.
This also caused TNT to change its live broadcast plan and broadcast the back-to-back battle for the top spot in the East across the United States.
After that trade, the Magic team skyrocketed and received national acclaim.
Previously, the Knicks' record declined because of that trade. A lot of people point fingers.
Now Milicic is calling for a reversal.
Many people are waiting to see: will he succeed?
Can he do what he says he can do like Suhee the goat?
Backbite!
Back-to-back matches arrived.
Under TNT's national broadcast live, fans in front of the TV watched as the two starters walked to the center of the court.
The Knicks' starting lineup tonight is: Milicic, David Lee, Stephen Jackson, Trevor Ariza, Suhi.
This is the Knicks' all-new lineup tailored for the Magic.
Stephen Jackson and Trevor Ariza were used against the two Jordan successors.
Suhi is on his way to deal with Tekoglu.
David Lee and Millsap have an account to settle.
Milicic meets Dwight Howard, who used to be a substitute for Howard, and now he wants to prove that he is better than the 2004 top pick, and he wants to be the No. 1 center in the East.
He's already beaten O'Neal, and he's done more than half as long as he defeats Howard, a rising star.
Syllable!
Milicic used his taller height to slap the basketball to Suhi, who quickly pushed forward when he received the basketball.
Hardaway defends Suhi, who shakes him off with a change of direction, then forcibly accelerates and slams into the basket with super explosiveness and speed. Hardaway is old after all.
He couldn't keep up.
One can only pin hope on Dwight Howard's strong defensive ability.
In fact, that's the basic tactic of the Magic: they let Howard defend everything on the defensive end, and as long as the opponent rushes in, they give it to Howard.
However, Suhey's threat is clearly not comparable to that of other guards who have been brutally suppressed by Howard.
Suhi stormed the penalty area, and Howard was like a big enemy.
When Suhee jumped, he quickly pounced, but they collided in the air, and Howard didn't take advantage, even though he had strong upper body strength and super bounce.
Suhi knocked him away and smashed the basketball on the rebound, and Milicic took off from the side and grabbed the basketball with both hands...... Rumble!
Violent buckling occurs.
Suhi can make a layup, but it's not necessary.
Why not complete Milicic's violent buckle?
The game continues.
The Magic's offense is also fast-paced, with Hardaway being a little cautious under Ariza's defense, whose defensive level has increased year by year, and he has become an elite 3-and-D in the league.
Suhi, meanwhile, kept up with Turkoglou, who had difficulty connecting the balls.
Similarly, Stephen Jackson is wrestling with Hill.
Eventually, Hardaway passed the basketball to Millsap.
Millsap singled David Lee.
Millsap swooped in and then pulled up for a jumper.
David Lee didn't lose his defensive position, probably because 'hate' made him a big defensive booster. He was tired of the media praising how good Millsap was.
Bang!
Millsap's pullup jump shot missed.
Milicic took Howard's bottom set and grabbed the rebound.
Looking back, Suhi still passed the ball to Milicic.
Milicic pulled to the high post this time, Howard couldn't defend it, the Knicks were full of players, and Sushi ran quickly without the ball.
Milicic gets an easy shot.
Swish!
Arrested.
Milicic's goal sent the crowd cheering and screaming.
He seemed to be getting his hands on the cheers at Madison Garden.
James Dolan sat in the box, and he looked down nonchalantly. He was in a relaxed mood now, and he said to the management around him: "Millsap for Milicic, I commanded. ”
The owner is wise!
The boss is really discerning!
The owner is amazing.
A series of sycophants rang out.
James Dolan was very useful, and he loved this kind of touting.
If successful people can't enjoy the touting, isn't it for nothing?
Moreover, people can be so successful, and they don't know how low-level those sycophants are.
What you want is low-level.
That's what you want.
The game continues.
The Magic's offense didn't open up, and their four-forward tactics hit Waterloo.
Charles Barkley said on television: "Is it that the Magic's gold medal tactics have been broken like this? Could it be that the Magic team was just an empty joy before? ”
Kenny Smith offered a different opinion: "It's too early to make that judgment, right?"
But at the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led by 11 points.
By the end of the second quarter, the Knicks had already broken through the 20-point mark.
Tonight, Zach Randolph didn't show up at all.
If Zach Randolph used to play Howard, if he played, the point difference would definitely be even greater.
Stan Van Gundy habitually crouched in the scene, his expression was like that of a Hollywood actor, and his surprise and horror were hard to hide.
He may never have dreamed that overnight, the change in strength would be so overturned.
Why did the Knicks suddenly restrain magic so much?
Come to think of it, there is only one reason: Milicic.
Milicic is too strong.
He was dazzled.
Milicic can shoot from mid-range, break through with the ball, share the ball, respond, top people on the inside, and have a certain ability to help defend. He can do just anything.
Before, he still didn't think Milicic's moves were useful. Baihui is not as good as a fine. So he let Milicic take the spot, mainly to gain weight, to be a blue-collar worker.
But now, with the blessing of Suhey and Nix, he actually connected all his skills to form a system. Played his own style.
The Magic team was completely blinded.
Stan Van Gundy, in particular, was all on his mind at this time: How good would it be if Milicic was still magical? If he's still an Orlando player, with his current all-around skills, I can have him at the core, and he's teamed up with Howard to sweep the league.
These twin towers are definitely stronger than the Cleveland pair.
Stan Van Gundy is getting more and more uncomfortable.
Originally, he was quite comfortable, Millsap was very good, and after joining the Magic, the chemistry is getting better and better, the style of play is getting more and more proficient, and there are more and more wins.
Everybody says he made a perfect deal.
But now, Milicic and Millsap meet again after the deal, and they have to compare and throw away.
Millsap didn't even play David Lee tonight, they were at most a mutual blow-up, and David Lee's hit rate was higher.
While Millsap's athleticism and defense are strengths, David Lee's defensive rebounds and accurate jumpers are better.
They're between them.
However, the Knicks don't need a power forward between two middlemen.
They need a big centre-forward like Milicic.
And it's in a class of its own.
The first half was played quickly.
Looking at the huge difference of 19 points.
Charles Barkley said: "I didn't expect the Knicks to be so restrained by magic. It seems that the person who said before that the Magic team made a big deal was slapped in the face again. ”
Kenny Smith was one of the people who was slapped in the face, and he was now speechless and uncomfortable.
It's worse than losing the game.
Why is this all of a sudden?
Why did Milicic suddenly wake up?
Isn't he a parallel import? How did the Knicks rise and recover and come back strongly?
Larry Brown had the same doubts.
Even depressed.
He thought it might be a fluke to get out of the game.
After all, any player has a chance to break up.
However, when he watched tonight's game, he had nothing to say.
He knew that Milicic had already played.
At least with a player like the Knicks, he already has the quality of a top-tier center.
It may be an exaggeration to say that he is the No. 1 center in the East, but when it comes to the league's top center, his name definitely has to be included in the list.
It's only been half a season!
The goat Suxi is so terrifying, he really turned waste into treasure.
Larry Brown was a little confused and a little reflective at this point. He began to feel that going against Suhey was a point of no return.
Not only Suhi can slap him in the face, but even Milicic, who has been judged to be a parallel import, can slap him in the face with Suhey's help.
In the past, it was only said that Larry Brown delayed Milicic.
Now everyone is saying that the stupid Larry Brown framed Milicic, and if it weren't for Larry Brown, maybe Milicic would have become the league's No. 1 center.
At the time, everyone said that, and there was no evidence, after all, Milicic didn't play.
Now, the evidence is conclusive.
It's hard!
Larry Brown was bitter, he didn't want to speak.
Kwame Brown was tempted to talk, and he sat behind Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming, who were both watching the battle of the spotlight.
With the Knicks beating the Cavaliers in the last game, the Lakers' No. 1 hypothetical enemy has changed from the Cavaliers to the Knicks.
After that game, Kobe Bryant called Yao Ming: It seems that we are really going to meet the Knicks in the finals.
Then, they organized to watch the game.
They originally thought that Howard and the Magic would give the Knicks a little threat.
But now, what they are seeing is a one-sided slaughter.
The Knicks took advantage of every position.
Kobe Bryant admired it very much, and everyone thought that the Knicks' lineup was not very good. But as soon as the game started, someone stepped up in every position, and they all gave superhuman expected progress.
At this point, Kwame Brown whispered, "Perhaps, I should also go to the Knicks for two seasons." ”
Kindness?
Everyone looked at Kwame Brown.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with Kwame Brown's words.
Kwame Brown himself is self-conscious: "I'm a bit more of a commodity than Milicic, and I'm a draft player for Michael Jordan, and Sushi Goats will definitely be happy to transform me." ”
??
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was surprised, and everyone was even a little unexpected.
It turns out that Kwame Brown has such a sober understanding.
He's not stupid.
Indeed, if Kwame Brown goes to the Knicks, Suhee and the Knicks have no reason to refuse.
Isaiah Thomas and Suhi will even welcome him with fireworks.
After all, what could be a better slap in the face than raising Kwame Brown to slap Michael Jordan in the face?
Jordan has become a draft bright spot because of Kwame Brown.
Isaiah Thomas and Susie if they let Jordan bear the reputation of 'stupid and unintelligible'.
Then Jordan has another item that completely falls into disadvantage.
Susie took another strong step away from the goats.
At this time, Kobe Bryant turned around, and he said to Kwame Brown: "Don't think about it, Milicic can at least dribble and pass, you can't even catch the ball, how can people train you?" You are a good substitute for Yao in the team, showing your strength advantage and speed advantage. If you win the championship, everyone respects you. ”
Kwame Brown nodded under Kobe's high pressure.
But he still couldn't help but think in his heart: What if the goat Suxi can transform me more?
