NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 211 The final battle, Knicks VS Lakers!

Chapter : The final battle, Knicks VS Lakers!

"Honey, who wants to go with me then? I'll make an appointment for the plane ticket. In a week's time, I can watch the cowboy show by the way."

This year's All-Star Game was held at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and it was the second time that Dallas hosted the All-Star Game.

Nuo Tianwang's home court, and Jiang Chao liked the Texas style after watching "True Detective", so he planned to take his sister there, and the cowboy hat was ready.

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

"I!!!"

The girls who were curled up on the sofa watching the game like cats raised their hands one after another.

Jiang Chao took a sip of the cigar that Daddario handed over, finished writing the full version of the lyrics of "baby" that he promised Taylor Swift, covered his laptop, and lay down with his hands behind his head:

"Then let's see who performs well~~"

"OK, I'll come too!"

Scarlett turned into a beautiful snake coiled on Jiang Chao's body, she still looks like a superhero.

In the end, it was Aomei who won.

Because the gap between the cold-faced beauty is so cool.

It's like an iceberg with a cold surface melting instantly, which is more comfortable than the heat brought to you by a flame.

Then Jiang Chao explained what it means that men are not bad and women don't love. In fact, it was just a game to tease them. In the end, everyone was allowed to go together. Is he short of the air ticket money?

Aomei: "It's a big lie!"

Jiang Chao: "How can I be a big liar, you still have a reward, okay, I will let you make commercial blockbusters in the future!"

In fact, what Jiang Chao lacks for popcorn movies is an excellent team and funds. In fact, apart from Marvel, there are many superhero roles suitable for Aomei, such as Wonder Woman, and the "Mechanic" series. .

But every time I see Aomei, especially the color of her hair dyed from time to time, every time I have sex with her, I feel like a superhero being attacked by his government. , so with special feelings.

Sure enough, Ao Mei fell into fantasy directly. Although she runs on two crews now, she is a supporting role in TV dramas. Who hasn't dreamed of being a heroine in a movie?

"Let's go~"

Jiang Chao drove the Cavaliers 15 out during the time of the sage, and his own Spring Festival holiday in a foreign country is over. This is also his All-Star campaign, and Jiang Chao is no longer indulging in the gentle hometown, so he drove directly to the team.

The second half of the team's most critical season is here!

……

Even though the All-Star weekend was coming, the coaching staff of the team was still in order. Jiang Chao didn't bother, and went upstairs directly.

Jiang Chao was really careless in Kuha's vote recently. Although he himself wanted to see Yi Jianlian in the All-Star Game, the reality told him that even if he paid a lot of money to buy it, it would be a side effect. The player who averaged less than 10 points per game is Not eligible for All-Stars.

So he said to Sean Marks:

"It is impossible for our Knicks to have only one All-Star. Let's spend a lot of money to do it next year."

Then the Knicks have a gratifying record during this period of time.

Ranked sixth in the East with 25 wins and 16 losses before the All-Star Game, the frizzy start has become much calmer.

The team started last year as a center. Eddie Curry, who came back last month, is not bad. He is not as bad as Jerome James. After his comeback, the coaching staff will use him to top the opposing center for 9 minutes every game. A qualified second-team center came on as a substitute, and his reputation is quite good.

Maybe it was Jiang Chao watching the Xialian game that woke him up. Now he plays with peace of mind without being humble or arrogant. In the eyes of fans and management, he is much "behaved".

Generally speaking, players with an annual salary of tens of millions only play so little time, and there will be trouble in any case.

This is another wave of praise for Jiang Chao. Eddie Curry is really scared. The contract will be up next year. Let him make a good contract and get a few million. If the Knicks want to dnp, he will be finished. Yes, he still wants to play!
Jiang Chao and the young marshal seem to be able to do this kind of thing, so he has been playing hard with his tail between his legs recently, and his movements have been much smaller.

You must know that Eddie Curry named a formula before.

The Eddie Curry formula: This formula was originally applied to New York's "Baby Sharks" to figure out what he would do to the Knicks.

The formula itself is very simple. It is the sum of the player's personal assists + steals + blocks divided by the turnover to get a value. This value is the player's "Eddie Curry list" score. At the same time, positive data contributed to the team.

As the "titler" of this formula, Curry deserves to be the "King of Mistakes". Every time he makes a mistake, he only contributes 0.52 positive data to the team.

Plus Eddie Curry is actively losing weight.

Now this number has become 1.1, and the coach Bron who named him said that now this formula seems to be replaced? ?It would be better to replace O'Neill himself!

So what Jiang Chao didn't expect was that Eddie Curry's trade value was actually rising. Three or four teams had already negotiated with Sean Marks to sign and then trade. It will be delicious.

Because a bad team can eat the high salary of such high-paid players in the last year, and after they have selected talented rookies, they can renew the low-priced contracts with such veterans in advance to build a strong lineup. At this time, it will not take up salary space at all.

But it is true that Eddie Curry is known as the king as long as he loses weight. At the age of 18, he weighed 300 pounds and ate people.

But in the 2001 NBA Draft, Eddie Curry was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 4th overall pick in the first round.

In the two years before entering the league, he has been troubled by the thick subcutaneous fat layer, and his technical and physical development has lagged behind. He has been in and out of the main lineup.

And his brilliance is also due to the popularity of heavy tank centers. In the classic battle with O'Neal, Eddie Curry was praised as "the best center in the East."

He succeeded in losing weight in the summer of that year, and began to try a slight defense under the strict restraint of the new coach Skiles. The average scoring in the 04-05 season reached the highest in his career at the time, but a heart attack almost ruined his career.

But Jiang Chao knows that his career is not bad. In the last 12 years, he was traded to the Heat by Dolan and won a championship. After losing about 70 pounds, Riley fell in love with him. Riley would only choose hardworking people.

"Boss, how should I say... Is it a deal or not."

The free market will gradually close after the All-Star Game, and there will be no chance for playoff signings at that time, so Sean Marks is very entangled with this.

Originally, Eddie Curry had to be traded. Now it seems that it seems good to make up for the Knicks' lack of meat shield inside? ?
This is the only thing he can't make a decision on, waiting for Jiang Chao to discuss.

Jiang Chao said a word about it:

"The young center who was once placed on the high hopes of replacing O'Neal has not improved his defense and rebounding for many years. He is the main force of the team and has a salary of tens of millions of dollars based on his gorgeous offensive talent. What do you think this kind of player should do?"

"Understood, raise the price and sell it?"

"Yes, after reaching the peak is the time to trade. Our team really doesn't need this kind of nerve knife."

Jiang Chao actually understands his style of play, because this guy has been gilded in the CBA next year, maybe during the suspension of the league, and he plays completely according to his own preferences.

When the weather is good and the mood is good, Curry will transform into Baby Shaq, with a huge body to suppress the opponent, using the back-up pace that is almost lost in the NBA, and finally using the ridiculously long arms (the wingspan exceeds Duncan) and the soft little hook End the fight.

His flexibility and weight are completely out of proportion (it is said that he can hold his head in front of somersault!), and he can complete many technical actions that power forwards cannot make, such as a flexible turnaround jumper.

Most centers of his size can't keep up with his speed.

But the chance of Eddie Curry transforming into Baby Shaq is not too high, sometimes for a few minutes a night, sometimes for a few minutes a night, lack of physical fitness and fighting spirit is his biggest problem.

I am more afraid of tall opponents, such as Yao Ming and Big Z, and the level of scoring under double teams is not flattering.

Although he dared to shoot in the middle distance, leaving a good image of "being able to be inside and outside", but the shooting stability is very poor (free throws hover around 70%), and the vision of high-post passes is not good.

So in fact, Ewing has long criticized the Knicks in the newspapers for not keeping players who can only attack. You must know that the four major centers can both defend and attack.

Sean Marks, as a center forward who has fought against him, has a deep understanding:

This guy has height, weight, jumping, wingspan and speed, but there is no word starting with D in Eddy Curry's dictionary.

For defense, he was confused, ignored, rejected or even hated.

Occasionally, a ground-breaking hot pot is born to confuse fans who only watch highlights but not games.

Kong has a huge body but doesn't know how to move his feet to occupy a favorable position, and his rebounding data is shameful for his height.

One of the favorite words of the Bulls senior commentator Redhead Kerr is: "Eddy watched the rebound again!"

"Yes, the summary is that Curry may be the center with the most offensive power at the basket besides Shaq and Yao Ming, and the quality of the screens is relatively high. But other than that, the center's other responsibilities: rebounding, defense, support... ...both mid-to-lower levels, and often require a blue-collar power forward to partner with him.

But I'm sorry, the current Knicks are not the team that focuses on him. "

Sean Marks finally made up his mind:
"Yeah, if he's five years younger, the Knicks would fit him right now, it's a pity."

"No pity, no pity, everything is the best arrangement."

"OK!"

Sean Marks hadn't seen Jiang Chao for many days, so he stopped Jiang Chao before he left:
"Boss, do you want to watch the game live tomorrow?"

"Isn't the All-Star weekend coming?"

"There was another game before?"

"Huh? Did I remember wrongly?"

Jiang Chao, who was about to go to the headquarters of Chaoshen Forum, looked up at the calendar.

Sean Marks laughed:
"You should be in a hurry. You definitely don't want to miss this game. Boss, the superstar you want to see the most, Kobe Bryant, the superstar we ignored during the offseason, is coming to our home court tomorrow!
Lakers VS Knicks.

The match between the giants, the tickets were all sold out. "

"I wipe? I remember wrong!"

Jiang Chao saw that it was indeed the last game before the All-Star Game, but he actually memorized it as the first game after the All-Star Game. It seems that it really can't be done more, forgetful.

"I have to read the words of the Lakers to see what the strongest team in the world looks like."

"Let's also see what kind of demeanor the Knicks will show when they meet the number one in the West."

Although Jiang Chao does not seem to be a Kobe fan from the outside world, who would reject Kobe's way of playing? ?
Jiang Chao is not a Kobe fan, but he is from the perspective of a boss and a businessman. Watching Kobe VS Kuha live out of selfishness is absolutely not to be missed.

There is no need to wait for the All-Star Game. The last game of the All-Star Game for the Knicks is against the league's No. Los Angeles Lakers.

In other words, Harden and Kobe are finally meeting for the first time!
Left-handed Kobe VS Kobe himself!

The slogan of Madison Square Garden is Mamba is coming! !

As for his own players, none of them can compete with Kobe, not even Turk Drew.

Jiang Chao followed Sean Marks to the training hall to watch the training. Sure enough, everyone's state is different when they play against the Lakers. The Lakers are the benchmark for the other 29 teams. Everyone wants to beat the team!
Hearing from Sean Marks, it seems that besides the boss Jiang Chao, the two of them also want to be in the All-Stars. They know that they are not in the All-Stars with almost 120 million votes, but it is a pity.

"This is my fault, and I should mobilize my power in China to cast their blame."

"next year!"

It is obvious that Harden is dissatisfied. He is still eager for fame in private. Isn’t he coming to the Knicks to make history? Starting shooting guard, averaging 18.5 points, 7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game, plus votes in the circle , how can it be regarded as the data of a qualified All-Star substitute.

"Boss, I let you down. I wanted to set a record for the Knicks."

"I'm so disappointed, whether you're afraid of Kobe is the key."

In Jiang Chao's view, it doesn't care about the record of the youngest Knicks player selected to the All-Star. He only cares about Harden's views on playing against his idol Kobe tomorrow.

Harden: "Don't be afraid, although he is my idol, he is playing an idol!"

Curry smiled next to him: "That's the mentality! Just do it!"

Jiang Chao: "Then work hard to overthrow the Lakers and let me see if we can fight the defending champion!"

In fact, it's very simple. Isn't Jiang Chao's goal to play in the finals? If he can have the experience of climbing the mountain of the Lakers, he will be sure of his mentality. After all, the Lakers are a big mountain in front of all the teams in the East and West.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Chao: "Looking forward to your performance tomorrow night, hey! Fat Curry, don't sit still, get up and practice free throws!"

Jiang Chao kicked Eddie Curry’s ass who was sitting on the ground. Eddie Curry is now called Fat Curry. Di Curry's nickname became Fat Curry.

"And Ibaka, get tough tomorrow!"

"And New York Dunk King Curry, can you withstand the impact of Shannon Brown tomorrow??? He is a strong spring man."

Curry: "Who doesn't know how to dunk? I'll kill him!"

"I knew I wouldn't recommend you to go to the skill contest, but go to the slam dunk contest!"
