The time was fixed on April 15, 2003. Indiana looked peaceful and peaceful under the sunshine, but under this peaceful and tranquil appearance, there was a collision of passion and uncontrollable joy. The Knicks
All the players seemed calm in the locker room, but everyone's joy could be felt in the greetings among each other.
I didn’t know which third-rate university Liang Xiao attended, Marbury, who was looking forward to the playoffs with the Suns, and Van Gundy, who might not be able to secure his job after this season, were comfortable with each other.
There is joy on his face. The Knicks have officially entered the playoffs. There is nothing that makes a professional player more happy to have a playoff position, and there is nothing that can make the head coach not prepare for the playoffs.
happy with the admission ticket.
Before the road game against the Pacers, the Knicks' top management and all the players officially held a small celebration for the team's victory at Madison Square Garden. This was another victory for the Knicks led by Van Gundy.
Breaking into the playoffs is a great moment worth celebrating for the team, the coach, and the players. Although the Knicks will have to go forward decades to win the championship, everyone is happy this year.
He has the dream of becoming a champion.
The night before the game, Liang Xiao had been unable to fall asleep. Starting his life again was like a dream, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly. He really didn't know if it was a dream or a reality. No matter what,
Liang Xiao didn't know how he fell into sleep in the end, but in his dream, he and his teammates were standing among the fans, enjoying the joy of the championship, drinking champagne and smoking cigars, really enjoying themselves.
With the Pacers led by Isiah Thomas, the former representative of the Pistons' bad boy corps, in an anticlimactic state, the Knicks, who are getting more and more courageous now, are somewhat relaxed, but Van Gundy may want to give the main team more in the playoffs.
With so much energy, the last regular season game was not as tense and desperate as in the past, but more about enjoying every cheer and every beautiful goal.[
The Pacers under Thomas really cannot be underestimated, otherwise they would have achieved better results in the previous regular season and have been ranked first in the Eastern Conference. After the All-Star Game, although the Pacers were not as brave as before, they were still the only team in the Eastern Conference.
A strong team, this team cannot be ignored in the playoffs. O'Neal, Brad Miller, and Artest are all popular characters in the league now. But none of this can change anything.
The Knicks are a well-established playoff team, and this final game is just a special playoff warm-up for the Knicks.
In the last few away games, Van Gundy clearly realized that the biggest problem for the Knicks is not the strength of the team. In terms of strength alone, the Knicks can be said to be in the top ten in the league. There is no problem at all. The key is
It lies in the performance of stability, as evidenced by the previous games.
Now inside players Harrington and Van Horn are veterans with rich experience. However, the problem with these veterans is that they are getting older step by step and do not have a high level of strength. The inside players have not been there since Gorilla Ewing retired.
We have good seeds and reserves. Antonio McDyess, a powerful inside man who was just introduced this season, was dismissed by Liang Xiao before the season started and was reimbursed for the whole season.
Fortunately, the Knicks' outside line is a major guarantee for the team. Now the outside line, whether it is the starting lineup or the substitute lineup, is very strong. However, the most important problem has also appeared, that is, the performance is unstable. Lao Ma is okay, now
This is his prime year and he is at his peak. There are very few occasions when he performs inappropriately. But the other two important starting outsiders, Madman Sprewell and Liang Xiao, one is old and the other is young.
Although the old Sprewell can still average about 19 points per game, but looking at his performance in each game, it is a bit like a wavy line. The ups and downs still make people worry about his condition. Liang Xiao
Although the speed of its rise is astonishing, it still needs to be tested before it can truly grow. At the very least, it still lacks the firepower to be the leader on its own.
On the eve of the final game, Van Gundy was still training this group of disciples. Only through continuous daily training can the team's strength be improved step by step. No team can improve at once.
Even if Jordan were alive, he could not improve the overall strength of the team by himself.
Basketball is a sport for five people, not just one.
"Run, run, watch your own people, don't follow the ball." "Liang, you are slow, hurry up!" "Steve, pass the ball, I don't need you to take it all the time."
Hit the ball."
Van Gundy's shouts are still so charming. Although the team's Sprewell and Lao Ma were once thorns in the past, they have become very obedient under Van Gundy's leadership. It has to be said that Van Gundy
He is a good person in terms of personnel management. Although he often has problems in employing people, I feel that he is a satisfactory coach.
Following the coach's "Okay, let's take a rest!" Liang Xiao picked up his training clothes and wiped the sweat from his face, walked off the field, picked up a drink and drank it hard.
"Hey, it's the last one, I think our spring is coming!" The madman said with a smile to Liang Xiao and Lao Ma.
"I think spring is coming for you. When spring comes, the calf will go into heat. Since the playoffs, you will definitely be liked by many women, ranging from eighty to eighteen years old!
Hahaha!" Liang Xiao heard the madman say that spring is coming, and mocked the guy fiercely. However, since the Knicks' record continued to improve, the madman's nightlife has also significantly reduced, and Liang Xiao's training
More and more time.
The madman pinched Liang Xiao with both hands, and Lao Ma laughed beside him. Liang Xiao kept parrying. The Knicks are very harmonious now. This made Lao Ma quietly kicked out of the Suns.
Although I was hurt, I felt warm in my heart.
The four-person training time was no less than six hours a day, and the sweat kept pouring down. Liang Xiao kept riding the exercise bike while wiping the sweat with a towel. Now that his talent system is almost close to the perfect score, he thinks he will do it next time.
It will definitely be achieved before the start of the next season. I don’t know if this talent system will give me a surprise by then, but this is not a problem I have to consider now. The most important thing now is how to play my role well in the playoffs.
The Indiana Pacers' home court at Conseco Stadium is packed with people. This season is one of the better years for the Pacers in recent years. Although Big Bird Larry Bird is not in the management now, due to the influence of the Bad Boys Legion
It is still very big, and with its talented players, its record this season is very good, and fans are happy to spend money to watch the games.
In the locker room, after Van Gundy encouraged everyone for a few words, he extended his hand, and all the Knicks players put their hands on the coach's hand.
"come on, come on, come on!"
One by one, they ran onto the court following the lights, feeling the roaring sound of the court. No matter how many games it was, Liang Xiao's blood still boils when he hears these sounds, just because he loves basketball so much.
"Dear viewers in front of the TV, what you are watching now is the nb, the Knicks' away game against the Pacers, broadcast by the imperial TV station. The guest we have today is our teacher Zhang Weiping. For this game
I believe that many fans are looking forward to the same as me. This game is the final game of the Knicks. Although this game is not of great significance to the Knicks' entire schedule, I think this game is a test.
A Knicks game. How do you watch it, Zhang?" The host's long string of words made the fans in front of the TV immediately change the channel in unison, knowing that this is the virtue of the imperial TV station, and they would not wait for half an hour.
Cut the scene to the game scene.
But there are still people waiting for nb’s cheerleaders, but you know that they are all S-shaped babies with front and back. However, the court TV station still disappointed these people. Director Zhang made a lot of remarks to Nick on the TV.
Si analyzed it as if the Knicks were operating according to the ideas in his head.[
Liang Xiao made a few shooting moves on the court. It seemed that his touch was very good today. He scored four out of five goals and had two matchups with Lao Ma. He felt very good.
The preparation time before the game passed quickly. In the pre-game interview, Van Gundy was very confident to perform well in the playoffs and had high hopes for his disciples. Opponent head coach Isiah Thomas also expressed his appreciation for the Knicks.
, but he still doesn’t pay much attention to his opponent, the Knicks. This is his usual style and seems very domineering, otherwise he would not have the reputation of a bad boy army.
"Okay, the game has officially begun. There is still no change in the starting lineup. The Knicks are as stable as a rock on the back line because of the addition of Liang Xiao." The imperial TV station always likes to brag about how good its own people are. In the previous life, it was a big team
Yao, now it's Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao will be very happy to hear the host praise him so much, and maybe even treat him to a meal.
When Liang Xiao was running forward in the backcourt, Artest and Reggie Miller, who were supposed to be guarding the madman, started a pick-and-roll. Liang Xiao suddenly bumped into Artest and couldn't help but curse: "You
This damn pervert!"
How could Reggie Miller miss such a good opportunity? Even if the old horse came up from behind, Reggie Miller still hit a three-pointer.
