I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 65 The Erupting Ewing, The Tragic McGrady

"Michael, just give me the chance today. I made the first start with great difficulty. If I don't let me feel good, I will definitely not end. Besides, I want to teach the young Knicks how to deal with losing. Life in this metropolis is too lazy, as their former boss, how can I not teach them an unforgettable lesson! Su, you will help me, right!"

Ewing, an "honest man" who has been bullied by the God of Basketball for almost his whole life, has bullied Jordan once today, which can make Michael Jordan feel embarrassed, so why not let him feel secretly refreshed.

At this moment, there is only one thought in his mind, he just wants to get higher scores and statistics than Jordan in New York, where he is famous.

"I can pass the ball to you, but I need you to score. If you can get me an assist, why don't I give it to you! But you have to watch the time, Mr. Coach only gave you 20 minutes, if the time comes you If it’s not finished, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Su Yi would not raise any opinions. He also knew that Jordan was just joking with Ewing. Among these old guys, Ewing's body worried the team the most, because he was the one who had been with him throughout his career. Severe knee injury, which is also the most important thing for the Rockets' medical team, so they did not hesitate to limit Ewing's playing time and training intensity.

Under the attention of the team of doctors hired by the Rockets, Ewing the gorilla should not only control his weight, reduce jumping, shoot more shots in offense, avoid dunks and dribbling movements that hurt his knees, but also cooperate with his teammates on the defensive end and do what he can in single defense , He was also restricted to play no more than 20 minutes in each game, and he had to be treated with ice packs after the game, just because he was afraid that his knee injury would recur again. Su Yi was also heartbroken because of these old guys!

"Well, who told you that this is your old club! Let you, the former New York king, play for 20 minutes. Today is my first game with the Rockets. Shouldn't it be my blockbuster day?"

In fact, Jordan doesn't care much about statistics. He is also very willing to see Ewing's performance in this game. He is an older player and he can understand Ewing's mood facing his old club.

But Jordan still made up his mind, as the first game he joined the Rockets, he should perform well, and I won't grab anything else, but I can't give up the scoring title to others!
Ha, these two guys didn't ask the Knicks players whether they agreed or not. They were already preparing their speeches after winning the game. The only thing they were not sure about was who was the final scorer.

With an indifferent attitude, Su Yi lobbed the ball to Ewing again, and then watched Ewing turn over and shoot a jump shot. To be honest, Su Yi was still a little worried about Ewing's knee that was about to break into [-]s. Old guy, don't be brave. ah.

However, Ewing, an old guy, still knows the limit of his ability. He doesn't jump high, but the arc of the basketball he throws is very high, which just exceeds the palm of Marcus Camby's hand trying to block the shot. Go in and get another 2 points.

This is to play against Ewing. If you play against Olajuwon, Marcus Camby, a shot-blocking expert, will be stunned. Who knows why he loves flying blocks so much. Do you think the Hall of Fame The cap is so easy to put on.

The home fans in New York are crazy. They have turned their backs and gave warm applause to the Rockets.

No, this applause should only be given to Ewing, to their former king of New York, Patrick Ewing.

The first quarter ended 35 to 21. Ewing played 6 minutes and scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. He scored more points than Jordan who played 5 minutes. Scored three open three-pointers, who made these Knicks players go to defend Jordan and Ewing like headless chickens, given such a big open opportunity, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't shoot, so Su Yi was very determined The shot was good, and the effect was good. He scored 6 points and 2 assists on 3 of 5 shots.

Su Yi feels that being around a group of superstar players is really good for stats. Regardless of what you say, hugging thighs is ineffective, other players have nowhere to hug them.

At this time, there was indeed a Rockets player who thought he was a superstar who didn’t hug his thigh. He was our "crisp" classmate. At this time, McGrady felt isolated. I can't get much data. Have you played enough? Give me the ball. I want to play basketball.

But not only Jordan, Ewing and Randolph, almost everyone's first pass choice is Su Yi. This is not to say that everyone likes Su Yi, but because Su Yi throws every time he catches the ball. , He never does any fancy work of dribbling and breaking through. It's McGrady's signature move, a dry pull shot. If he hits, he can send an assist to his teammates. How pleasing this style of play is, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Even if it's like McGrady, when the ball is given to him, he insists on dribbling a few times, even if he throws the ball later, the assists from his teammates will be gone. Although no one said anything, they all have a feeling in their hearts The little book wrote it down: In a certain game, Tracy owed me an assist~.

After a long period of time, McGrady, who loves the superstar style of play, has ended up in the current situation. He can only completely control the ball when Jordan and the three veterans are not present. After all, in Su Yi's eyes, McGrady is the team's fourth offensive choice. , Ranking late can't be blamed.

On the bench of the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy looked helpless. He understood the cheers of Ewing from the home fans very well, because even if their former king could not beat Jordan, he could almost guarantee that he would lead the team every year in his career. In the playoffs, he even led the Knicks to the finals. It is a pity that the Rockets led by Olajuwon are not lower than 3:4.

This is also the reason why he was very disgusted when he heard that Olajuwon was a substitute. Of course, now the two brothers have laughed away their grievances. After all, they are going to work together to win a championship. Ewing is very self-conscious. They just rely on a bunch of old guys who are going to the nursing home to win the championship.

For the New York Knicks, you have to say that this was once one of the top teams in the NBA. Unfortunately, this city has unfortunately caught up with the Jordan era, and it was hard for Jordan to retire. The eyeing Olajuwon.

Therefore, the Knicks sadly made it to the Eastern Conference semifinals for nine consecutive years, during which time they fell to the Finals twice. Under the leadership, I have been thinking about the championship and working hard. Although it is sad, it is also very honorable.

But looking at the current Knicks, there are still shadows of those years. In order to get a big contract, players desperately scrutinized their statistics regardless of their record, and after they got a big contract, they stopped working hard.
