I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 114 Stotts Feels Something Wrong

Inside the inpatient department at NYU Medical Center.

We have a special group of guests here today.

Xu Xuan led the way, followed by the Knicks players, and even Melon followed.

After hearing the little girl's story, everyone decided to come to the hospital to see the little girl and encourage her.

Mills originally wanted to use this incident to make some news, but was waved away by Melon.

While the little girl is convalescing, isn't it a waste of time for you to make all this messy news?

It may be that what Xu Xuan did has an effect. This time the little girl is much more energetic than when I saw it last time. The most important thing is that she actively cooperated with the doctor for treatment and spoke.
##
After winning the Hornets, the Knicks' record came to 10 wins and 11 losses, and the Knicks finally advanced to the top eight in the Eastern Conference!
not easy!
Before the eighth place was the Miami Heat, but they seem to have a bad feng shui recently. In addition to an upset loss to the Knicks, they also lost to the Wizards and the Eagles one after another. The Knicks came from behind and grabbed the eighth position in the Eastern Conference.

Now it is estimated that the old Zen master can breathe a sigh of relief?
But this is only the early stage of the season, and the current record is still uncountable. Like the Knicks, it is estimated that if they want to make the playoffs, they will have to wait until the last second of the season to decide.

After all, they are not the only ones who want to bite their tails.

Of course, after the game against the Hornets, the reason why Xu Xuan performed so poorly in the first half has already been announced.

Those who slammed Xu Xuan before were severely slapped in the face.

It's not easy for someone to continue to play halftime with a high fever of 104°F. As for performance?

Heh, being able to stand on the field is the best performance!
Therefore, Xu Xuan received unanimous praise. Anyway, the right to speak is in their hands, so they can say whatever they want?
Anyway, for Xu Xuan, his life is back on track, and his cold and fever are almost gone on the second day of the game.

The immunity of his body seems to be beyond his imagination. According to past experience, once he catches a cold, he can't get better within a week, but he will be fine in two or three days.
On December 12, the entire Knicks team came to the west, to Portland, Oregon.

This is the first time for Xu Xuan to visit Portland.

The winters are cold and rainy, and the summers are hot and dry.

This climate is very suitable for growing roses, so there are many rose plantations in the city, and therefore, it is also known as the "City of Roses".

After the Knicks settled in the hotel where they stayed, Xu Xuan was dragged out for shopping by Tim Hardaway Jr. and others, and the reason given was very good.

Rose City Rose Woman!

In other words, it is very convenient to make an appointment here?

People like Tim Hardaway Jr., who go wherever they go, will naturally not miss such a wonderful place
Naturally, Xu Xuan would not join them. After parting ways at the corner of the street, Xu Xuan wandered around the nearby rose garden and ate some special delicacies here.

The Portland Trail Blazers conference room.

The Blazers players gathered together, and they were watching a video of the game.

Maybe even they themselves didn't expect that the Trail Blazers have so far ranked second in the Western Conference and second in the league, second only to the Warriors with G. Even the Spurs, Grizzlies, Traditional strong teams such as the Clippers have been trampled under their feet.

Under such circumstances, the Blazers are naturally gaining momentum. This combination of young + old players seems to not only have a chemical reaction, but also give full play to this chemical reaction, forming a qualitative change.

Relatively speaking, the Knicks are a little weaker than them.

Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts is giving a briefing.

Unlike the Trail Blazers, head coach Stotts doesn't think the Knicks are weak.

Or not as weak as they thought!

In any case, the Knicks are now the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference, and they are sitting on current or former league superstars like Melon and Stoudemire. How weak can they be?

By the way, there is also that yellow-skinned rookie.

Compared with Melon, who has no secrets under the spotlight, this rookie is the most invisible to him.

The reason why the Knicks feel like a bad team is that every game they win is weird.

Like the opening lore of the Cavaliers, 61 points to beat Houston, the upset lore of the Heat, or the "difficult and narrow victory" of the 76ers, who rose up to beat the Hornets at halftime
It seems that there is nothing to brag about winning these games. After all, it is either luck or opponents. It is impossible to see where the Knicks are strong.

And once you lose, you lose to the end, the kind where you lose all your underwear
Like two consecutive losses to the Eagles, two consecutive losses to the Nets, being taught to be a man by the Mavericks and the Thunder.
But Stotts spotted a problem.

That is, these games won by the Knicks, or these upsets, have a lot to do with that rookie!
You see, the Cavaliers are his lore, 61 points are his, and the Heat are also his lore.
What would happen without that rookie?
Is it that the Knicks should have lost these games, but now they have won?
Of course, this statement may not be true. The game is ever-changing, and he can only analyze the results based on certain specific and traceable "factors".

dong dong!

Stotts knocked on the table to attract the players' attention, and said loudly: "I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you, don't be too careless, the Knicks are not as weak as you think .”

"Ah!"

The Blazers' current outside star, Damian Lillard chuckled, apparently disagreeing with this view.

Stotts ignored him, and at this moment, an Asian face appeared on the big screen.

With black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, he looks quite handsome, even handsome, with a refreshing smile, wearing the No. 23 Knicks jersey.

Pointing to the photo above, Stotts said: "We need to contain this Chinese man. I think he is the engine of the Knicks. We must not allow him to comfortably hold and play the ball. Therefore, defense is very important on the outside! "

"Damian"

Lillard looked over, but looked indifferent.

Stotts frowned. He didn't like this attitude, but he knew he couldn't do anything about this young man. In the first year, he averaged 19 points, 6.5 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and even suppressed the "beast" "The No. [-] pick Anthony Davis who won the best rookie has long been regarded by the team executives as the cornerstone of the team's future!

Although he is only a rookie in the third grade, he has the capital to be proud of!
