Chapter 213 213. The team meeting is not easy to hold
On March 2014, 3, two signings occurred in the league at the same time, which had nothing to do with the players, but with the management and coaching staff.

Among them, Zen Master and the Knicks signed a huge five-year contract totaling 5 million yuan and became the executive president of the Knicks for the next five years. The huge annual salary of 7500 million yuan made him the management with the highest salary in the four major leagues in North America.

Zen Master's status in the Knicks is equivalent to the Lakers' Jim Bass, who can wield the team's checkbook at will.

The name of Zen Master is naturally very loud, and Knicks fans instantly feel that their love for the home team has been rekindled. It is rare for the Knicks to make headlines this season with a positive attitude.

Because Zen Master joined the Knicks to attract too much attention, the fact that Luke Walton joined the Spurs coaching staff and became the Spurs assistant coach was directly ignored, and no news was found.

……

"Xiao Ai, rest first, let Ah Ren clean up by himself!" Chen Hanni sat angrily on a clean chair that she finally found.

"But it's such a mess, it's tiring for the master to clean it alone..." Big Lolita said weakly.

Liu Ren burst into tears when he heard what Big Lolita said, it's better to be Lolita!I know it hurts people.

"He deserves it! He brought those skinny and shameless teammates to a party at home and made a mess. You know how tiring it is for Xiao Ai to take care of our family! Do you want to play and book a restaurant? The wine at home It's so expensive! You ruined it all!" It turned out that a certain chick was feeling sorry for the expensive wine!
"Hurry up and clean it up for me, I have to go to the Toyota Center for training in the afternoon!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she left with the big loli with a distressed face, leaving Liu Ren with a sad face.

"Those bastards, they just took a taxi and left after playing until the morning! Poor my wine..." Liu Ren complained while cleaning up the mess. Fortunately, the poor were already in charge of the house. Not counting nothing.

But these two couples are worthy of being a couple, and they care about the same things.

It took half an hour to throw a pile of rubbish outside, another half an hour to sweep the ground, and finally another half an hour to wipe the tables and chairs and mop the ground. Tired Liu Ren took a shower and lay down on the bed fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Liu Ren with dark circles under his eyes came to the Toyota Center. Sure enough, no matter whether it was Kobe, Gasol, Nash, Nick Young, etc., they all had dark circles under their eyes.

Kobe is very sad, he lost 10,000+ last night, and today he was able to set an example and be the first to come to the arena for training.

The assistant coach in charge of training, Madsen, was also a former player. He kindly asked the players to practice shooting by themselves, and did not arrange any tactical training.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, D'Antoni came and called the players to the conference room for a team meeting.

"I am very happy that we have won 50 wins and become the fifth team to confirm a place in the playoffs, but just relax. We will work harder in the next games and strive to win 60 and become one of the best players in history. member!"

D'Antoni's old-fashioned opening remarks. As for why it is the fifth team, it is because the Eastern Conference is not enough. The Raptors have just broken through 40 wins, and they have already confirmed their place in the playoffs. In the playoffs, the other team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the playoffs is the Heat. Even the Spurs are not as fast as the Heat and the Pacers to advance to the playoffs. The promotion is determined after 11 wins.

"We have 14 games left. Of course, I think we have the strength to win all opponents, but occasionally there will still be mistakes. I understand this. I hope that all of our teammates can take every game seriously and strive for 60 wins. !” D’Antoni finished speaking and turned on the projector, “Our next opponent is the New York Knicks. I believe everyone knows that Zen Master has become the leader of the Knicks management. With a team led by a coach with 11 championship rings, I don't think the next game will be easy."

As soon as D'Antoni said this, someone was immediately unhappy.

Nick Young said disdainfully: "Isn't it the Knicks! With my Uncle Nick around, we can finish them off in two or three hits. Last time we easily defeated them."

"That's right, with Paul and Hassan, we can beat them casually, and Liu can easily beat all perimeter players, coach, you don't have to worry too much." Thackeray also didn't take the Knicks seriously.

The four veterans Kobe, Gasol, Nash, and Kaman will not say anything at this time, but other young people don't like to hear such words that increase their morale.

Liu Ren also said euphemistically: "Mike, no matter how good Zen Master is, he has just arrived in the Knicks. He is not James. It is impossible to turn the Knicks into a super team all at once, right?"

However, although the four veterans didn't say anything, it was obvious that they supported the words of these young people.

D'Antoni sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's impossible for this group of guys to take the Knicks seriously. That guy Phil really can't turn the Knicks into a top team at once, and it's impossible for the Knicks to become the general manager this year." The championship is popular, but one game can still be done!"

D'Antoni has seen Zen Master's ability to guide people's hearts. Zen Master can always activate the fighting spirit of his players at critical moments in the playoffs and perform unexpectedly.

After talking for a long time, D'Antoni could only emphasize once again that he should not be careless in the next game, and then ended the meeting.

……

That night, in the game between the Knicks and the Clippers, Anthony showed off as soon as he came on the court. He scored 29 points in the first quarter. The Knicks led the Clippers by 41 points in a 15-26 quarter.

The Clippers have a characteristic recently. They always fall behind by a big score at the beginning, and then chase after them furiously. During the chasing period, they showed [-]% to [-]% of their previous strength. Refusing to play for Sterling's team, so they were short-handed and lost.

This game was the same as the previous five games. Paul and Griffin began to vent their anger against Sterling in the second quarter, but they fell behind too much at the beginning. Demier, the somewhat broken Big Three, was extremely brave today, and all of them played their best performances of the season, stunned to withstand the counterattacks of Paul and Griffin.

In the end, Anthony relied on a season-high 51 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Knicks to a 115-107 victory over the Clippers.

After the Knicks defeated the Clippers, they yelled BEAT-LA in the locker room and pointed at their next opponent, the Lakers.

At this time, a group of people from the Lakers were playing leisurely, not paying attention to the Knicks at all.
