The God of Basketball

Li Chen and Scarlett's facial cleanser episode did not affect the progress of the game, and Li Chen even failed to hit the basket when he took the risk to snatch the ball back.

Lacking scoring points in the penalty area, the Lakers only need to defend against the perimeter.

The Knicks currently don't have many scoring points with the ball on the outside.

In a sense, under the championship-level defense, the Knicks, who have been winning streak this season, finally exposed their shortcomings. Next, it can be expected that qualified teams in the NBA will implement the Lakers' thinking and conduct similar defenses against the Knicks.

This is why the NBA is so exciting. Every season and even every game is constantly innovating. Whoever exposes the least shortcomings and finds more opponents' shortcomings will be able to win more: in the playoffs. in this way.

.

The Lakers pierced the Knicks' undefeated golden body with 26 points.

This battle for the top spot in the East and West ended with the victory of the defending champion.

But it caused a tsunami in the Big Apple.

Knicks fans can accept losing to the Lakers, but they can't accept the fact that the team's scoring leader Zach Randolph is sitting on the bench. Randolph averaged 28 points per game this season. Don't you still have to win 2 points?

The media also jumped out to criticize D'Antoni, criticizing him for putting his personal interests above the interests of the team. Tactical differences cannot be blocked by administrative power.

Even Fraser, a famous New York player, jumped out and publicly said: "I don't think the running and bombing tactics are so clever, and I didn't find that the running and bombing tactics played an important role in the previous winning streak. If I were the head coach, I would support it. The team uses Bruce and Randolph as the dual-core internal and external attack mode."

"Anyone who has watched the Knicks against the Hornets understands that Bruce's talent is unparalleled. He is the smartest point guard ever. Jason Kidd is full of praise for him. And he can display all tactics easily and freely. Why? How about stifling his imagination and imprisoning him in the run-and-gun system?"

Frazier is a champion player for the Knicks and a point guard. He even wore the No. 10 jersey before.

Therefore, he stood up and said such words, and the pressure created was enormous.

D'Antoni encountered the biggest crisis of confidence since taking office.

For the first time he felt anxious about it.

He didn't expect that a bastard like Zach Randolph could win the hearts of the people, and he began to realize that his previous laissez-faire strategy was wrong: if there was no laissez-faire before, and he even silently encouraged Randolph to brush his data, how could there be such a thing now? Many people jumped out to support Randolph.

Could it be that Isiah Thomas is deceiving me?

On the plane back to New York, D'Antoni finally remembered what Isiah Thomas had said before. This explains why Isiah Thomas is still on hold until now, obviously many teams are throwing olive branches. Although the Raptors are reluctant to give up Chris Bosh, Phoenix has already loosened up. They just want one more Jeffries, give them!

What's so mean about that.

Isn't Stoudemire stronger than Randolph?

D'Antoni felt more and more flustered, and he realized that something bad might happen.

He decided to go see James Dolan as soon as he arrived in New York.

He hopes to show his boss his idea of ​​building a team, and even... he also wants to pull Isiah Thomas down without stopping, and let himself handle the trade. He felt that he could definitely do more than Isiah Thomas, and he was professional.

As D'Antoni reclined in the front row, thinking about how to describe his dream and the bright future of the team to his boss.

Li really leaned back in the exclusive large leather recliner.

He found that the goblin Scarlett Johansson kept appearing in his mind, especially the words she said when he left tonight.

She actually asked herself if she was soft or not, if she played or not.

Isn't this nonsense?

Of course it's soft and bouncy.

It's quite fragrant.

Li Zhen briefly recalled the live airbag landing after saving the ball.

"Do you want me to be your secret lover?"

Then, Scarlett Johansson actually said something earth-shattering.

This... this... Li Zhen was stunned.

The little fox can be regarded as a person who has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, but who would have thought that this goddess who was a chaste woman on TV and described herself as a model of a scumbag would speak such words to herself in private.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of contrast made Li Chen's inner little devil emerge on the spot.

What a carefree and effortless little goblin.

The thing that made Li Zhen feel psychedelic was that on his way to the airport, he saw an interview with Scarlett Johansson on the TV of the bus.

"I'm just a reflex."

She has recovered her demeanor of a "chaste and strong woman": "This is my personal cultivation. Even if a pig flies over, I will reach out to catch it."

"I don't like this kind of tall, handsome and charming man. This kind of man is usually very dangerous. Beautiful and enchanting but hallucinogenic and addictive."

"The difference between me and all other women is that I have the ability to judge clearly and independently."

"..."

Scarlett Johansson's righteous words even made Jeff Reese exclaimed, and he began to believe Li Zhen's explanation: Did you really have nothing to do with her? You really just ran out of gas and stayed at her place for a night?

Li Zhen spread out his palms, yes, nothing really happened at that time.

However, according to the current trend, something will really happen when Baobuqi is not complete.

After all, Scarlett is the scourge.

The Hollywood media quickly branded Scarlett Johansson as a model of independent women in the new era, and praised Li Zhen and Jessica Alba as a negative template, known as "a vase obsessed with beauty".

But in fact, Jessica was just praising Li Zhen on TV. She didn't take any real action against Li Zhen, let alone breathe in Li Zhen's ear, and even deliberately tore Li Zhen's jersey away, There was a little fragrance in the air.

well!

Li Chen sighed heavily again on the plane.

Why is this world getting more and more ridiculous.

...

After D'Antoni returned to New York, he was interviewed directly at the airport, which was an interview scheduled by his team in advance.

He decided to act and put pressure on management.

"Now, I have to tell the Knicks fans. This is a multiple-choice question, Zach, or me. We can't coexist. I will never compromise and use a player who does not respect the coach."

D'Antoni dropped this sentence stiffly, and he showed that there was no room for maneuver.

Then, his team started various campaigns through the media.

While promoting D'Antoni's historical achievements, he did not forget to attack Randolph's two fights this season, watching movies while driving, and all kinds of bad things that happened in Portland. Public opinion has repeatedly emphasized, is it really good to put such a villain in the Knicks locker room? He is indeed doing very well now, but what if one day he reverts to his old ways.

Such voices spread through public opinion.

Many fans are really worried, because Randolph's history is indeed not clean, and everyone can't help worrying that he will become what he used to be. In this way, it will really be the beginning of disaster.

D'Antoni is very satisfied with the public opinion effect he has created.

Then, that afternoon, he knocked on James Dolan's door.

He was well prepared.

"In the past few years, I have been one of the head coaches with the best winning percentage in the NBA. I single-handedly promoted Phoenix from the bottom of the Western Conference to the top of the league, and made running and bombing popular all over the league. Phoenix's attendance rate has been greatly improved because of me. Stephen Nash With my help, I won the regular season MVP twice, and Stoudemire also became an All-Star starter and was selected to the best team."

"I believe that when you invited me, you hoped that I could do better in New York. In fact, we have started very well now, exceeding everyone's expectations. And, the future will be even better."

"It's Stoudemire vs. Zach Randolph. Either way, you can conclude that Stoudemire is the better player. DeMire and his agent have had discussions. They are very happy to return to their hometown to play for the Knicks, and even, they will put pressure on the Suns on the trade."

"This is a data model comparison between Bruce Lee and Stoudemire that I made overnight. I believe that a forward who is more powerful on the offensive end and has a higher assist ratio can have a more promising chemical reaction with Li Zhen. "

"This is my ideal list of players. We can use Crawford and Nate Robinson to trade for a better three-point shooter. Orlando has no reason to reject our proposal. They need a scorer at the 2nd position."

"And Jeff Rees, Ramon Sessions, even Eddie Griffin, those are tradeable."

What D'Antoni said is true.

James Dolan is nodding until he says Eddie Griffin's name because D'Antoni has a point.

However, actually want to trade Eddie Griffin?

Doesn't he know about Griffin's relationship with Bruce?

He is a die-hard fan of Bruce, trade him, it's no wonder Bruce doesn't go crazy.

So, he pursed his lips slightly.

To express dissatisfaction.

D'Antoni didn't realize this, he was still eloquently building his running and bombing dream team, and he even put forward the slogan of three-year finals and five-year championship.

This again pissed off James Dolan. Because what Isiah Thomas mentioned to him last night was that he will win the championship within three years.

Thomas swears and speaks with pride.

It made him feel relaxed and happy, and he felt strong admiration in his heart.

He was willing to believe everything Thomas said.

He's a really powerful man.

Every word he said before came true.

Compared with D'Antoni's extravagant description, he misses the heroic man who is "a blockbuster if he doesn't sing" more and more.

"So, you want to act according to your plan? Have you discussed it with Isiah?" James Dolan rubbed his brows, and to be honest, he was a little impatient.

However, D'Antoni suddenly turned up the volume, and he said in a vigorous tone, full of emotion: "This is the real purpose of my coming here."

"Mr. Dolan!"

"I want to be the general manager!"

"Only in this way can I build the team flawlessly, and only in this way can I let the team have an infinitely bright future."

"Believe me, I can definitely shoulder this important task..."

The more D'Antoni talked, the more excited he became.

James Dolan stretched out his hand to press down, signaling him not to speak further. "You actually want to replace Isiah Thomas?"

What kind of onion are you?

James Dolan's self-cultivation did not allow him to say the second half of the sentence.

This also made D'Antoni not soberly aware of the environment he was in.

He even talked eloquently: "Yes, I think the position of general manager should be occupied by capable people. Thomas did perform well in his playing career, but with all due respect, what he has done after entering the management Things were botched. He was smacked in Toronto, and he got kicked out of the Pacers. In New York, do you think he did anything successful besides getting the Bruce Lee deal? He drove off consecutively. Two legendary coaches, now, he actually has a hint of wanting to drive me away..."

James Dolan held back an increasingly emotional D'Antoni.

Because he couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up, pointed to the door with his right hand, and said calmly to D'Antoni, "You're fired."

ah?

D'Antoni was dumbfounded, he was completely stunned.

how so.

He wasn't even sure he understood the sentence.

James Dolan looked at him in a daze, and repeated heartily: "I said, you are fired. We don't need a head coach who is trying to replace the general manager. Moreover, you will never catch up with Isiah."

"We'll pay you until the end of November. I have other things to do, bye! Close the door."

James Dolan is extremely decisive.

He didn't give D'Antoni a chance to close his case.

D'Antoni's eyes were lost for a moment, he walked out of the office like a walking dead, his mind was full of question marks: Where did I lose?

Shortly after he walked out of James Dolan's office, Isiah Thomas walked into James Dolan's office.

He still doesn't know about D'Antoni's dismissal. He told Dolan: "I will talk to Zach and D'Antoni separately in the afternoon..."

James Dolan looked at him with admiration, thinking in his heart: Isaiah is so kind. D'Antoni secretly wanted to replace him, but he still wanted to repair the relationship between the generals.

well!

D'Antoni is really bad.

A heroic man like Isaiah really doesn't understand the sinister heart, but fortunately, there is me.

"No, I fired him."

James Dolan said in a gentle tone.

ah?

Isiah Thomas was in shock.

He originally thought about coming to talk to James Dolan first, and he would talk to the two in the afternoon, and then report to Dolan in the evening, saying that the negotiation had broken down. Next, I hope that Dolan will promote D'Antoni to the deputy general manager, and then find a random head coach to represent the team for a smooth transition.

Who knows, now the boss is actually directly firing people.

"So what about the coaching staff?" Isiah Thomas asked.

"I believe in you." James Dolan looked at Li Zhen with incomparable affirmation, eyes full of admiration.

Alas, here we go again.

Thomas was helpless.

But he still enjoys this kind of admiration, and he puffed up his chest slightly: Then, until a suitable head coach is found, let me take on this important task.

He spoke passionately.

James Dolan applauded vigorously: "I really didn't misread you. If the team didn't have you, I can't believe what it would be like."

Forehead….

...

...

Another update tonight. I drove the car all day during the day today, and it has been dragging until now, sorry.

Also, I really want to thank everyone for the last month. I never dreamed that in the last three days, more than 4,300 votes had been raised. God, when I announced the grabbing of the monthly ticket, I only had 700 votes in total, ranking eleventh in the category. My biggest dream is to get seventh, because seventh is the possibility to get the monthly ticket bonus. As a result, you helped me vote for the third place, and the third place has a bonus of 2,500 yuan. I am so moved.

This kind of touch made me unable to actively code words in May, the cutest of you, I really can't bear to let you down.

Finally, it is unavoidable to ask for a monthly pass, because it is still an unlimited double monthly pass!

Please everyone!
