Forward to the basket

Chapter 69 This is just the beginning

"A disgraceful three-game losing streak! A garbage team built for [-] million dollars! How long will the Knicks sink!"

"Madison Square Arena is crying, we have lost the courage of the Jagged Legion!"

"Whether Dolan's anger will burn Thomas' contract, New York may be about to face a coaching change."

The start of the three-game losing streak, and each time the result was more miserable, the New York fans and the New York media were angry, and they vented their anger on the Knicks in various ways.

The Knicks' official website was hacked by angry hackers before the game was over. It is estimated that the instigator was a diehard Knicks fan.

Because this guy covered the entire page with large pictures of Reid leading the team to win the championship.

And it was accompanied by a slogan with a large font, "What we need is a championship!"

As for the Knicks' forum, it didn't suffer, but it has been filled with all kinds of abuse.

At this time, the managers of the Knicks chose to shut up. They didn't want to be sprayed to death by a group of people.

After the game, the TV station randomly interviewed some diehard Knicks fans, but the answers they got were surprisingly similar. Most of them asked, "Can I say dirty words now?"

"Uh, it shouldn't be possible." The host of the TV station didn't want the entire interview process to be silenced.

"Then I can still say a fart!", without exception, all the diehard fans pointed their middle fingers at the camera, and then turned and walked away with angry faces.

"It seems... Knicks fans are very dissatisfied with the team's performance...", the host can only find his own way in the end, because even he himself was full of resentment after watching the game.

Originally, the first quarter of the game made many people feel excited, but in the end, a bucket of cold water was still poured on their heads. The most terrible thing was that the water was still poured down on the "March [-]th" day.

You know, the results of the Celtics last season were also a mess, similar to that of the Knicks.

But after a summer break, the Celtics are off to a good start.

But the Knicks are still sinking, especially looking at their lineup. The whole team adds up, and Pierce is considered a top-paid player. No matter how you look at it, the price/performance ratio is too bad!

It's no wonder fans in New York are desperate when they can't earn a victory for such a large sum of money.

"We have a group of players with top salaries, but we can't get a cheap win!"

A losing streak may not be terrible, but it is very irritating to lose hope. Now the Knicks are like this, and most fans are about to give up on them.

Holding a lot of stars, but playing extremely badly, this kind of game can't stop people from cursing.

Nearly $2000 million in salary!Knicks fans really want to ask, this **** will cost another [-] million to form another team!What the hell are you millionaires doing! ?

Although the team suffered successive defeats, Dolan, as the team owner, did not show up to say anything after the game.

But there are still messages from within the team, saying that Dolan has yelled very loudly a few times.

As for whether Dolan yelled at Thomas or other team managers, it is unknown.

Anyway, Thomas has become the target of New York fans. After losing to the Celtics, the voice of hoping that the "smiling assassin" will go away has become more and more loud.

Thomas didn't know if he really shouldn't take the position left by Larry Brown. Anyway, since he joined the Knicks, he has been in various troubles.

The loss to the Celtics made him very depressed. The process had always been perfect, but it was the fierce bald head that changed everything.

Not only did the Knicks lose the game terribly, but it also put Thomas at a complete disadvantage in the contest with Rivers.

When the Celtics are at a disadvantage, Rivers will try to adjust the team's tactics and personnel.

But besides handing over the game to the players, the only way Thomas can think of is yelling.

Many people have seen this guy's loud voice on the sidelines, but such roaring cannot win the game.

This is also the point that dissatisfies Knicks fans the most. Thomas' on-the-spot adaptability is completely lacking in the aura he had when he played. This guy's thinking is as rigid as a rock.

Although Thomas kept mobilizing personnel in the last two quarters, no matter what kind of personnel combination, Thomas could not let the players control the game.

"Maybe that guy shouldn't be the head coach at all, he really doesn't have the talent for it."

This is the assessment written by the editor of "New York Times", and it has indeed won the support of many people.

If losing a game is a bad experience, then the conflict between Thomas and Marbury after the game may have completely angered Knicks fans.

Thomas is annoyed that Marbury has been playing selfishly for more than a day or two. In the game against the Celtics, although Marbury scored first in the team, he couldn't help the team at all.

Especially after he failed to assist Richardson, this guy seldom passed the ball. Basically, he took the ball and did it alone. In the middle of the third quarter, Thomas had to replace him.

This also became the fuse of the conflict between the two people. Marbury didn't have any scruples that this was a game, and he scolded Thomas face to face with a swear word that everyone is familiar with.

Thomas didn't make any expression at the time, but after returning to the locker room, a war of words was inevitable, but neither of the two parties expected that someone would expose the matter.

And most of the details happened in the locker room. Except for the players, it is hard to imagine who made it, but no one will admit that they did it by themselves.

"The chaotic Knicks, maybe it's time to tear down and rebuild." From the conflict between Thomas and Marbury to the leak in the locker room, Knicks fans have had enough.

"It seems that our victory has ignited the New York Knicks." When Rivers read these reports, he had a winner's smile on his face.

Because the New Jersey Nets will be played next, the Celtics chose to take a temporary rest in New York, which also gave Rivers time to sort out the gains and losses in the past two games.

Corresponding to the opponent's three-game losing streak, the Celtics won the first two consecutive victories, and both games laid the foundation for victory in the first three quarters. Such a situation cannot but make Rivers happy.

Especially with the experience of struggling for a season last year, Rivers pays more attention to the current results. He needs to see the revival of the Celtics in his own hands!

But compared to Rivers' excitement, Chen Feng's expression is now depressed. He is sitting in the "bar" in Queens to complain to Hammond and Tarkanian.

"Damn it, this is the second time! And this time I was fined another [-] dollars!"

Chen Feng is currently clutching the faxed notice from the league to the Celtics. The reason above is also very simple, because he made a provocative act to the fans, so he needs to issue a ticket.

This is the second penalty order that Chen Feng has received since the preseason, and each time is more expensive...

"Jim, please treat me to this glass of wine. I'm cleaner than my face now." Although it was a pleasure to meet these old acquaintances, Chen Feng really couldn't bear to be punished so harshly every time. .

The trip back to New York was really hemorrhaging. In addition to a few tickets that cost tens of thousands of dollars, I had to pay for the act of shutting up the Knicks fans.

That Sparky Lee with wide-rimmed glasses and a baseball cap is said to have said he was going to die with himself.

Moreover, Rivers also held Chen Feng's ear for at least 15 minutes after the game. Chen Feng swore that he almost saw the little tongue in the fat man's throat.

If Thibodeau hadn't rescued Chen Feng in time, he would definitely be overwhelmed by Rivers' saliva.

"You better remember me, kid! Next time, if you still make your own decisions on the court! Go to the Development League for me!", Rivers, a doughty person, is really popular this time.

But even if he was so furious, Rivers knew that this could only deter Chen Feng temporarily.

Even Thibodeau said, "He will definitely agree in person, as for execution? Don't expect it."

"If he is the kind of obedient player, he probably won't change his tactics for two consecutive games."

Listening to his partner's evaluation, Rivers also had a wry smile on his face. He could only bear with such a treasure, but this kid has indeed become a key key to Rivers' victory.

"Looks like I'm about to become the most unpopular person among New York fans." Thinking about the endless boos after the game, Chen Feng realized that walking on the streets of New York might be very dangerous in the future.

Because many fans in New York were vehemently saying after the game that they wanted to teach that bald boy a lesson!

That's a real possibility, what if some crazy guy pulls out a pistol in the street?

"When the time comes, don't say that you know me, or I will have to go far away, and I want to spend a few more years in New York."

"Don't worry, I will never let others know that you, an old liar, taught me how to play basketball. The most important thing is that I can't afford to lose that person. You are still here shamelessly drinking and drinking. I really admire you."

The bickering between the master and the apprentice has never stopped, but anyone who is familiar with them can see that Hammond's vicissitudes of face have been smiling since he watched the game.

Although he didn't say anything clearly, everyone around him knew that this guy was definitely very proud at the moment.

Hammond wasn't able to shine in the NBA, but now the beast he taught has.

Besides, apart from going to Madison Square to watch the game this time, Hammond has never planned to let his gray experience affect Chen Feng, especially when this kid started to make a name for himself.

But Chen Feng did not evade this point. When he won the game and a group of reporters surrounded him trying to interview him, Chen Feng pushed away the reporters surrounding him and walked in front of Hammond first.

He stuffed a basketball full of Celtics players' autographs into the old liar's arms, and said casually, "This was promised to your grandson a long time ago, and it was specially left over from the last game."

A sharp-eyed and older New York reporter recognized Hammond. After all, this guy was also a man of the streets in New York 20 years ago. Even Kobe had visited him in Rock Park.

When those reporters asked about the relationship between Chen Feng and Hammond, Chen Feng didn't even think about it, and responded directly, "He? The teacher who taught me how to play basketball, or should I say he was my first coach."

Ordinary people may think about it when faced with such an inquiry. After all, Hammond was sentenced twice for drug trafficking. It is estimated that few people would be willing to have a relationship with someone who has such a criminal record.

Drug dealer, a job that sounds disgusting, may only be compared with him by gamblers.

Moreover, the NBA has always been far away from these marginalized people. Even though there are many players who come from poor communities and have been involved in clubs and so on, few people are willing to put him on the table.

Chen Feng has been on the streets for so long, he is not the kind of idiot with low IQ, he can hear the subtext from the cryptic questions of some reporters, but he doesn't pay attention to what those people are thinking.

When someone asked this question for the second time, Chen Feng grabbed Hammond and said to the reporters in a very serious tone, "This is my teacher, the only enlightenment coach, that's all."

At that moment, Hammond could feel that this kid was just like the strong man who had already gone to heaven. They didn't care what other people said. They just insisted on what they thought was right, even if others didn't see it that way. It will not affect their own judgment.

Similarly, Tarkanian also had the same idea as Hammond. Although he had long ceased to coach in the NCAA, sitting on the sidelines of Madison, some reporters still recognized the old fox.

Facing the reporter's interview, Tarkanian didn't say much, but at the end of the game, Chen Feng came over and grabbed the old man and then dodged him, which made the reporter understand the relationship between the two.

The two leaders who led Chen Feng to enter the NBA are now looking at the kid in front of him thoughtfully.

Half a year ago, perhaps no one would have believed that this kid could enter the NBA. Even Tarkanian believed that he had this strength, but he never thought that he could really enter with such vigor.

And not only did he get in, this kid won the chance to play in the regular season in just a few preseason games. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Rivers attached great importance to Chen Feng.

This has nothing to do with Auerbach's hand-picking. Whether he can play it depends on the kid's own ability. This is the street madman he and Hammond jointly created.

Although Tarkanian had brought out the No. [-] pick in the draft like Larry Johnson at the beginning, but now the old man thinks that he may bring out the most eye-catching guy in his life.

Just like the scene that the wine owner Jim saw at this moment, the wild boy who used to work here has already broken into the NBA world with his incomparably powerful style.

Moreover, he is stepping on his own footsteps in the highest hall of basketball step by step.

Now, all of this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.

No one knows how far this wild boy who came out of the street can go.

Two consecutive victories are just the beginning, just a prologue...
