The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the 1990s, the Pacers and the Knicks were a pair of old enemies, and they often met in the playoffs, both of which are strong teams in the East. Compared with the feasting "Big Apple City", Indianapolis can only be regarded as an unremarkable small city. Because of this, the arrogant New Yorker gave the duel between the two teams a discriminatory title-"Hillboy VS Knicks".

?? At that time, the iconic player of the Pacers, Reggie Miller, disliked New York very much. He listed the opponent as an opponent he had to defeat.

"New Yorkers are so self-righteous, they think we are not their opponents at all. They think they are far better than us, and we are just a group of children who grew up in the country. I can't accept this view, so I want to prove it to them."

Reggie Miller said this before the Knicks and Pacers series began in 1994.

At this moment, a New Yorker stood up and attacked Reggie Miller’s remarks, “Reggie sucks, and his sister Shelly **** too. The Miller family can never play professional basketball. Get a foothold on the court. The only thing that group of hillbillies can do is have fun with their mouths."

The person's remarks were very rude and unceremonious. The person who attacked Miller was neither a Knicks player nor a local New York reporter. But a prestigious film director and a diehard fan of the New York Knicks, Spike Lee!

Spike Lee, in addition to his outstanding achievements in film. In the basketball circle, he is also a well-known figure and a "living fossil" Knicks fan.

Li started watching football at the age of 8. Although he has passed the sixtieth year this year, he has never stopped. He has come all the way from the era of Monroe, Reid, and Bernard King. He has experienced and witnessed the two championships of the Knicks in the 70s. In the finals by Ling Chi, "Lone Wolf" Stephen Marbury's tragicomic farce, "Lin Madness" inspirational storm until now the outbreak of Anthony and JR Smith...

Spike Lee's nearly half a century of watching football is a history of blood and tears of the New York Knicks. The wins and losses of this team, grievances and hatreds, are all blended in his wrinkles from light to dark and black to white beard.

Therefore, just like the famous Hollywood movie star Jack Nicholson at the Staples Center. Spike Lee has a high status in the arena of Madison Garden. He not only has an exclusive ViP seat, he has even been teased as a mascot and has become a member of the Knicks!

The word "spike" means spikes in English. The name adorns the character, Spike Lee is indeed like a spike, both sharp and stubborn.

The characteristics of New York fans are the most obvious in him. He usually looks gentle, but once he meets a mortal enemy or is stimulated by the opponent, his hideous face will appear. No matter who you are, Spike Lee will inevitably kill with harsh, harsh and ugly language, and often ends with the other party being speechless and hearty. With such a clever tongue and various records of bickering, Spike Lee's "quake status" is also extremely stable.

In the 1990s, the grudge between Spike Lee and Reggie Miller was just one of the typical cases. In fact, there are countless people who have fought with him. League superstars, bench players, referees, and even his home team players, he will not let go.

And this time, Chris Paul's remarks after winning the All-Star Game MVP undoubtedly stimulated the pain points of the black director and diehard Knicks fan. Combining with what Henson did in New York not long ago, the No. 1 New York sprayer officially aimed his gun at Henson Joe, a Chinese coach who is also not easy to mess with!

"Coach Henson and his players did play well in the first half of the season, but they seem to have forgotten one thing-there were 82 games in the NBA regular season. No one knows what fate they will face until the 82 games are over. Don’t say, I won the O’Brien Cup. Coach Henson and Chris Paul are fortunate that their first game after the All-Star Game was against the New York Knicks. Because, the Knicks are on track, Let them experience the cruelty of the second half of the season!"

Henson read the news about Spike Lee in the newspaper, and there was anger and restlessness between the lines.

"This time, you have gotten into a big blowjob, Henson." Vogel teased from the side.

"Come on, just a movie director. He doesn't really think that all the half-hearted can point to basketball games. Let's go guys, we have to let those guys who took a weekend off to be active."

Since it does not take long to fly from New York to Indianapolis, it only takes two hours, so the Knicks decided to leave early tomorrow. Today, the players are at ease training in Madison Square Garden.

But the New York media are not so complacent. Most of them have arrived in Indianapolis early.

Although the game between New York and the Knicks was heated up by the outside world because of the relationship between Spike Lee, although Chris Paul was very excited about what happened. But Henson himself did not make any special adjustments during training.

Indeed, the Knicks have a good record this season, Anthony and J.R. also played their best performance. But in Henson's view, it is not difficult to defeat the Knicks. As he previously assessed, it is not easy to beat the Knicks, but it will not be too difficult.

First of all, New York has too few offensive points. It can be said that the entire team only has Anthony and JR. Therefore, as long as J.R. can be locked in the rotation time, Anthony will once again be trapped in a singles situation.

Rely on Chandler? By Kidd? By Shumper? Come on, these guys are not the kind of players who can use points to kill the game.

Secondly, on the rebounds, Henson doesn't think the old Chandler can control the penalty area. This season, due to frequent injuries, Knicks coach Mike Woodson tried to use Anthony to top the fourth position with nowhere to go. But instead of being dissatisfied, Anthony played a leading scoring performance in the fourth position.

But what about Anthony's control of rebounds? I am afraid it is not so strong. No matter how good Tyson Chandler is, he only has two hands. Henson believes that as long as they can have an advantage on the offensive rebounds and give the team a large number of second offensive opportunities, the Knicks have nothing to do.

Therefore, Henson is not arrogant sometimes. The reason why he dares to be "arrogant" is because he has such capital.

But Henson believes the Pacers can win. Knicks fans and reporters don't believe it. Coupled with Spike Lee's big fan, the New York fans and reporters instantly possessed mystery confidence.

So today, during the media opening hours between training sessions, a large number of New York media poured in and asked a lot of questions that Henson seemed stupid.

"What are your thoughts on tomorrow's game? Go and see the Pacers' record this season, and then think about it for yourself. Although this game has not yet started, it has already entered our track." For the New York media from afar, Henson was not polite. Since he is a public enemy of New York, he must do his best to play this role well.

Although Henson's words are not sound, they are rough and not rough. Although the Knicks are currently ranked third in the East, they seem to be no different from the first in the East. But in fact, the Knicks' current record of 32 wins and 18 losses compares with the Pacers' 49 wins and 4 losses, but there is a world of difference.

? When Henson said this, everyone was energetic. Such arrogant remarks are indeed consistent with Henson's consistent character, and the reporters couldn't help but want to start being hard with him.

? "The New York Knicks are third in the East this season, Mr. Henson..."

?? "Yes, third in the East, so what?" Henson asked aggressively, "Tell Spike Lee, tell him not to come to Indianapolis to watch the game tomorrow. Because he and the Knicks will be killed. So, I will be like Reggie Miller in the 90s. I will deal with Spike Lee and the Knicks cleanly! As I said, the game has entered my track. If you don’t believe it, let’s watch. "

Henson finished speaking, leaving behind a group of New York media who stayed in place, and turned to leave.

If Spike Lee is a long nail, then Henson is a crowbar, specially pulling out these smelly and hard nails, and then smashing them to the ground!

The famous black director, this time provoke an enemy who is more difficult to provoke than Reggie Miller.
