Chapter Seventy-One: Welcome to New York
Carmelo Anthony has been a little unhappy lately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There's no other reason than a simple bad mood.
Why is that?
Because the current situation of the team made him not very satisfied.
Last season, after a year of running-in, his three old friends finally won the championship, and James, who was once called his "lifelong enemy", finally realized his dream.
Anthony is also an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have left the Denver Plateau for New York, where he teamed up with "Little Overlord" Stoudemire, and in reality, it was not bad.
What's more, with the addition of giants like Kidd and Chandler this season, it stands to reason that this lineup should not lose to the combination of those three friends.
However, the team's record is not very good, and the team's 5-4 record is indeed not high after playing 9 games, and it can only barely pass.
Moreover, he always felt that there was something wrong with the team's style of play, especially between himself and Stoudemire, and he had not found a tacit understanding for a long time.
It stands to reason that the positions of himself and Stoudemire do not conflict, and the cooperation between the two should be very smooth.
But what Anthony didn't realise was that if he played with Stoudemire, he would need to change his style of play and increase his off-ball offense.
It's not that Anthony doesn't know how to attack without the ball, it's that he doesn't want to. He prefers to play the ball with his own defenders and then score the ball with ease, and this kind of juggling pleasure is what Anthony has always been after.
And once he switched to playing without the ball, Anthony felt that he was no longer the core of the team, and he needed two inside lines to cover him.
Especially Stoudemire, this guy's defense, I really don't want to complain, Chandler has to wipe his ass every time.
But Stoudemire is also an offensive master, often competing with Anthony for offensive rights. If he doesn't give him the ball, he won't be able to play, so the team's interior lethality will not be enough, which means that Anthony is leading the team alone, no different from when he was with the Nuggets.
Anthony came to the Knicks because he felt that the Nuggets didn't have a good helper, if Stoudemire couldn't play, then the Knicks' current interior combination, Stoudemire + Chandler and the original Nuggets' Martin + ** didn't have much advantage compared to it, but the two were a little taller and had a better bounce.
And Kidd is old, and he can only play a supporting role at most, similar to Billups's role in the Nuggets back then, so Anthony is actually still playing for the Nuggets, but a slightly strengthened version of the New York Nuggets inside.
There are good teammates, but they don't know how to cooperate, this is the greatest sorrow.
Kidd sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, if Anthony is not aware of his own problems, then he really can't surpass James in his life.
James and Wade can share the ball with the Heat, and although there are sometimes problems between them at the beginning who don't know how to distribute the ball, they can consult with each other, communicate with each other, and solve problems together.
And Anthony is like a child who doesn't grow up, and he has been working with Stoudemire for a while, and Kidd hasn't seen the two discuss together!
It's not going to go on like this.
Kidd Sr. decided to talk to the two in person, as a sign for the team's inside and outside, and it would have been fun if the two didn't have a spark.
The Knicks have managed to put together a luxury roster this year, and if they can't achieve a result that will satisfy Dolan, I'm afraid the entire management and New York fans will be disappointed. At that time, it is definitely the players who will be sprayed, after all, the management has done a good job this year, and Kidd doesn't want to lose his own money in the late season, and he will retire and be scolded by the bloody dog.
What's more, the next Knicks will play the Spurs, the group of face-paralyzed hooligans.
If they don't take it seriously, all that awaits them is hanging.
So the day before the game, Kidd called the two.
"Cameron, do you have time now? Come to my house. ”
"Amare, there's no arrangement for today, is it? Come to my house and discuss something with you. ”
As for what happened at Kidd's house that day, what the three of them said, no one else knows, but it can be imagined that the Knicks should be on a good trajectory.
The next day, Madison Square Garden.
"Wow, it's the richest place in the country, this arena is really magnificent." Qin Yan got out of the car, looked at one of the most luxurious arenas in the United States, and praised it. After all, this is the first time I've been here.
"Ah, who made the home a metropolis. Besides, after watching it a few times, I think that's it. Duncan's face was relaxed, this place was indeed glorious before, but now, this is a Dou who can't be helped, and everyone wants to step on it.
"Look, isn't that their poster, I'll go, from this angle, Cameron's nostrils are so big, I can fit Tony down." The joking Dior pointed to the huge poster of the Knicks on the wall of the Madison arena and teased Parker.
Everyone looked at it, indeed, this magnified the poster I don't know how many times, and from their perspective, Anthony's two nostrils were indeed very large.
"Don't call me Boris, you don't look like Tyson's little thumb!" Parker fought back sharply.
"Amare can eat you in one bite!" Diog made another move after blocking.
"Jason, Jason's head can crush you." Parker was dying.
"Cut~ See, the one who can't be named can poke you to death with his hair." Dior is still superior.
"Okay, it's all in trouble, and I'm ready to go in." Finally, Popovich, who got off the chartered bus, glanced at the team members who were playing like a marshal, and immediately everyone restrained their smiles and automatically lined up in a neat two-way column, just like troops.
Don't forget, Mr. Bobo came out of the army, and he was still a person who worked as an agent~
Behind a mirror on the wall of the upper floor of the Madison Arena, three figures were standing there, watching the Spurs walk towards the arena.
"See, the Spurs are very united, and this year's Chinese leader is also perfectly integrated into the team, and to beat them, we can't mess around ourselves." The shortest and oldest figure was the first to speak.
"Indeed, Greg has trained them with a bit of an army feel." The tallest figure is also sighing.
"Okay, no matter what they do, let's just do what we said yesterday, our strength will not lose to them! Right? Jason? Amare? The man in the middle of the height was the last to speak.
"Agreed."
"I'm okay with that."
The remaining two spoke at the same time, and these three were none other than Anthony, Stoudemire, and Kidd, who seemed to have decided something after yesterday's discussions.
"Let's go, let's go down and meet them, as the host, the guests should go and welcome them." Anthony smiled, and it looked like he was happy with yesterday's meeting.
Spurs, welcome to New York!
