Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 349 A perfect season, so powerful that it's impossible to lose even if one wanted to.
Live broadcast across the United States.

Television stations in multiple countries around the world broadcast the event live simultaneously.

The event was attended by a large number of film and television stars, social celebrities, and legendary NBA players.

Jordan, Dr. J, The Lord of the Rings, Bird—they're all legends.

Stern was also present to witness the miracle.

When the home team took to the court first, and when the DJ shouted Yao Ming's name, the entire Madison Square Garden almost erupted in cheers.

"King!"

The king's cheers resounded throughout the stadium.

A large number of Chinese fans, in particular, waved their flags excitedly.

As Yao Ming waved in response, the cheers reached a fever pitch.

At the end of this season, Yao Ming was no longer the Great Wall, but the new king of New York.

The cornerstone of the inside game, a super center.

So far this season, he has averaged 25.6 points per game, ranking fifth in scoring.

12.1 rebounds, fourth in the rebounding list.

With 10.2 assists, he won the assist title.

He averages 2.6 blocks per game, ranking fourth in blocks.

Besides "all-around," there is no more suitable word to describe Yao Ming.

Such performance makes him the undisputed core of the team and the rising new king of New York.

And today, Yao Ming, the new king, will lift his first crown and lead his team to create the most glorious season in NBA history.

Even Yao Ming couldn't help but get excited at this moment.

His family was in the stands, and his girlfriend was there too.

He looked at the Chinese fans, gazed at the flag, and felt a surge of emotion.

There were also a large number of fans in New York, and everyone was cheering their own name.

Before coming to the United States, Yao Ming had silently vowed in his heart that he hoped to one day conquer the NBA and make his name resound in the arena.

I've done it now.

At that moment, Yao Ming felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

He rallied his teammates.

"Everyone, we must win this game, and not just today, but also the playoffs, and the finals. We must win the championship!"

A fighting spirit ignited in everyone's eyes.

In this kind of atmosphere, it's hard not to feel excited.

Tang Sen is the same.

Listening to the cheers of the fans, feeling the vibrations of the stadium beneath my feet, I imagined that at this moment, countless fans around the world were watching this game.

Tang Sen couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like to stand on such a field and create such a miracle himself.

But unfortunately...

Tang Sen took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

Such a stage is something that not only Tang Sen envies, but even his opponents envy.

As James listened to the cheers echoing throughout the arena, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

How he wished that one day, no matter which arena he went to, he could enjoy such cheers.

Thinking about this, James suddenly felt a surge of impulse.

I want to play well and perform well.

This is the most watched game, and the media had already predicted that its viewership would surpass that of the Super Bowl.

Even if my own star power is dimmed and all the glory is on the Knicks, as long as I perform well, even as a supporting actor, I can still shine.

However, this thought vanished as soon as the game started and I saw Wallace standing in front of me.

James attempts to drive to the basket.

Wallace moved precisely to the side, blocking the way.

Unable to penetrate or move past, James felt he needed more skill and only knew a couple of moves.

With a loud thud, the shot missed.

Wallace ran away quickly, not even glancing at James.

Anyway, Wallace will not allow James to steal the spotlight today.

Yao Ming's performance today can be described as incredibly impressive.

Facing the clumsy Z, he showed off his dreamlike footwork, going 5-for-5 in the first quarter and scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

The Knicks led by nearly 20 points in the first quarter, outscoring the Knicks 35-16.

Bird and Jordan sat together, and Bird asked Jordan whether the Bulls of yesteryear were stronger or the Knicks of today were stronger.

Jordan glanced at Bird speechlessly, knowing what he wanted to hear, and said, "Larry, you were still the strongest in '86."

The 85-86 season was considered Bird's peak season, leading his team to a 67-15 record, nearly achieving a triple-double in the Finals, and winning two MVP awards that season.

Most importantly, they swept their own team, which averaged 43.7 points per game, 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs.

He overdid it by showing off.

Bird laughed heartily, unusually humble, and shook his head, saying, "No, I still think the Knicks are more terrifying; they won every game."

He watched the Knicks players walk off the court.

He thought to himself that even though he was such a show-off back then, he didn't dare to boast about a perfect season.

The Knicks actually managed to do it.

"Tang is really terrifying." Bird turned to look at the Knicks' bench.

This invincible Knicks team was created by Townsend.

It wasn't that his little brother Carlisle was exceptionally intelligent, nor that Leighton had a keen eye for talent; it was simply because Townsend's abilities were too great, capable of turning lead into gold.

Jordan nodded in deep agreement. If he had known that Tangsen had this ability when he was with the Wizards, he would never have chosen to trade Brown.

Keeping Brown means keeping Tang Sen.

If he makes his final comeback, he'll probably win two championships.

Seeing that Bird was still staring intently, Jordan said, "Stop looking. Don is not going to Indiana. He's already gone solo."

Then Jordan couldn't help but complain, "You're a general manager, and instead of taking care of your own team, you come to New York to watch a game. Is that appropriate?"

Today is the last day of competition, and the Pacers have a game.

Bird glanced at Jordan, his smugness returning, and said nonchalantly, "It's just a Bulls game, how could we possibly lose?"

Can the Pacers beat the Bulls today? The Bulls, who are chasing the number one draft pick, still win.

Jordan rolled his eyes, unable to take it anymore.

By the end of the first quarter, the game had already entered garbage time.

Silas glanced at his son and thought to himself that he really should listen to advice. Otherwise, if he had been shouting about blocking the Knicks before the game, he would have become the biggest laughing stock in the world after the game.

At halftime, the point difference had widened to 27 points.

Even so, the Knicks were still holding back to some extent.

Carlisle carefully managed the lineup, trying to give every player on the roster a chance to play.

As for the three inactive lists, there's nothing we can do about that.

After three quarters, Yao Ming once again recorded a triple-double.

Carlisle quickly substituted him off the field.

Although this game was very important and crucial, Yao Ming should have stayed on the court and achieved even more impressive statistics.

But the upcoming playoffs are even more crucial. Every extra minute played carries the risk of something unexpected happening.

Yao Ming is the team's absolute core, and Carlisle doesn't want to waste Yao Ming's time in garbage time.

And then there's Wade.

Others can be replaced, and someone can step up, but these two core players are too vulnerable to injury.

When the two left the stage, thunderous applause and cheers erupted.

Especially Yao Ming.

Cheers for MVP erupted in the stadium.

At this moment, for Yao Ming, the regular season was over, and he averaged a triple-double for the season.

It would be an injustice if such a performance didn't earn him the regular season MVP.

Yao Ming high-fived everyone on the bench, and when he came to Tang Sen, he instinctively opened his arms.

Tang Sen reached out and stopped him.

Everyone was excited, but Tang Sen wanted to pour cold water on them.

"It's just the regular season. You can celebrate properly after you win the championship."

The season isn't over yet, don't act like you've already won the championship.

To win the regular season without a single victory and still fail to win the championship is utterly ridiculous.

Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, then hugged Tang Sen without saying a word. After letting go, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Sen, it's just the finals, no big deal."

His tone was frighteningly arrogant.

As expected, the game ended when the timer reached zero.

Madison instantly transformed into a sea of ​​celebration.

As if they had won the championship, amidst the loud explosions, confetti and fireworks filled the entire arena.

There are also flames.

The entire stadium was like a carnival, completely boiling over.

Everyone was cheering.

In an instant, Tang Sen was embraced by countless people.

Tang Sen couldn't remain calm; he was just as agitated.

Two seasons of hard work have finally paid off.

It's a victory for the players, and a victory for themselves.

He single-handedly created the orange miracle of New York!
They've won every game this season.

At the beginning of the season, no one dared to think that way.

When the Knicks were winning, no one could have imagined that they could keep winning like that.

Even the head coach, Carlisle, once had self-doubt and tried to lose a game.

Simply because winning all 82 games is too difficult.

But the Knicks actually did it.

Tang Sen stood in the crowd, watching every figure celebrating wildly. The media was right; this was a miracle.

But the miracles are not over yet.

Tang Sen looked at the electronic display screen, which showed an image of the championship trophy.

The meaning is clear: all that's missing is the championship.

At the post-match press conference, Carlisle arrived wearing clothes soaked in champagne.

"This is crazy."

As soon as he sat down, Carlisle spoke first.

Reporters in the audience raised their hands in a surge.

Carlisle waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Looking at the pairs of eyes staring at him, Carlisle hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

He said loudly, "I think the first thing I should do is apologize to all of our players."

The reporters in the audience were all taken aback.

Carlisle continued, "Because I had considered trying to lose a game and end our winning streak."

Only a few members of the coaching staff knew about this.

The players, the management, the fans—nobody knew.

But Carlisle suddenly felt the urge to speak out; if he didn't, he felt he would be letting down the hardworking players.

All the reporters were in an uproar.

The entire press hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All the reporters looked at each other, each with only one thought in their minds: Is it true or false?

Carlisle stated frankly, "Don't doubt it, it's true, and I really did it, when we were about to break the record for the longest winning streak, reaching 40 wins."

"You might remember that game we played against the Magic, and I tried to lose it."

Many journalists still remember this match.

The Knicks' final game of the season against the Magic, after having already swept the Lakers, led many media outlets to say this was their last chance to stop the Knicks.

The problem is, the Knicks also seemed to have won by a large margin in this game.

Ignoring the commotion of the reporters, Carlisle continued, "After that, I tried again, but all of them failed."

His attempt at this was a complete failure, leaving the reporters in the audience with extremely strange expressions.

Did you try to lose but failed, and then win big against your opponent, so you failed?

Carlisle said: "The reason I did this is very simple. I know how difficult it is to have a perfect season. I was worried that the players would be under too much pressure because the more we win, the less we can afford to lose."

"And the further we go, the greater this pressure will become. I'm afraid that one day this pressure will destroy us."

"So I thought we should lose a game, and if we lost, we wouldn't have to bear this pressure."

Many reporters frowned.

At that moment, they suddenly understood why Carlisle wanted to lose.

As Carlyle said, the more you win, the less you can afford to lose.

That kind of pressure can easily cause someone to break down, and if they break down in the playoffs or in the finals, that's when it's all over.

Carlisle said, "But I was wrong. I didn't expect our players to be so good. They withstood all the pressure."

“We kept winning, but they weren’t arrogant; they kept training hard.”

"I've always said that we have the best players in the world, not just because they are very strong, but because they work very hard."

"So I need to apologize because I once had doubts about them."

"But you saw it, we won, we created a miracle, and that's what I want to say."

Carlisle's gaze sharpened, his expression hardened, and he declared firmly, "The regular season is over, but the playoffs aren't over yet. We will win again."

"Keep winning, win the championship with a perfect season, believe me, we can do it."

Carlisle stood up and walked away with his head held high.

All that was left were a group of reporters who were dumbfounded.

The shocking revelation that Carlisle attempted to lose the game also resonated with Carlisle's final declaration.

They're aiming for a perfect season to win the championship.

But after calming down, the reporters felt that the Knicks might actually be able to do it.

After all, they're so strong that even if the head coach wanted to lose, they couldn't.
