(Thanks to syoskia for the tip, I will try to restore the previous update speed starting next Monday or Tuesday.)
There was no intense defense throughout the game, only scoring. In fact, the Knicks players tried to defend, but under Locke's rules, their defense looked very weak.
When this one-sided game ended, the fans at the scene gave the five Knicks players unprecedented applause. It was not because they played well. On the contrary, they were tortured by the five EBC stars Rock and the five Afghan prisoners of war.
Just as miserable.
I give them applause because these five guys from the Knicks really fought until the end. Even if there was a seventeen-point gap in the last minute, they didn't give up.
Duke Tanger found a reason for the fans' applause from the commentary box:
"The Knicks players are not sissies! Although they lost! But! They can at least say that they are tough enough! Persistent enough!"
"As a rule, I will give you the nickname Lock. Although you lost this game, you are already more accepted here than those big-name stars in the NBA! I am willing to give you the nickname of Locke for completing 17 alley-oops in the paint.
Eddie Griffin's title of 'The Rusher'!" Duke Tanger began awarding Knicks players with their new nicknames at Rucker. Whether they want it or not, their nicknames will be recorded at Rucker Park, and
This game is the same.
"I would like to give Gerald Wallace the title of 'Hard Bones', who was broken through countless times by his opponents but still defended hard in this game. What needs to be said is that even if you defend hard, you are still collected by bones. He is a bone collector.
, you are hard and white.”
"Stephen Jackson, your nickname in Rucker Park was 'The Thug'. You lost miserably in terms of your skills, but you beat Junie Sanders in toughness. I saw you successfully forcefully break through your opponent six times!
"
"Mo Williams, your title will be 'Roar' to commemorate your roar in this game!"
"José Calderon, you're called a 'heathen' in Rucker Park. Boy, you shouldn't be on this court. You don't fit in here. You're white, you're Hispanic, you've never played street ball.
However, in your first street ball game, you used your calm ball-handling skills to pass Raf Alston once, which is enough to be remembered!"
After Duke Tanger awarded the nicknames to the failed Knicks, the fans applauded these losers. Being given nicknames by Duke Tanger shows that even if they fail, there is still something worthy of recognition. You know, every year,
Duke Tanger did nothing more than bestow no more than five nicknames on Rock Street players.
After doing all this, Duke Tanger continued:
“It needs to be said, let’s welcome the head coach of the Knicks and the manager of that club, the big man, Blake Dolan, to say a few words for us, he has great news for our fans and players!”
Blake Dolan walked up to the commentary box and took the microphone from Duke Tanger. The cameras of and1 and several small TV stations in the distance also focused on him from the field. This was the first time that Rucker Park welcomed a real big shot.
, Maybe Locke has been with various big-name stars and superstars before, but that is just an honor. Now, the person standing in Locke’s commentary box is completely different from them. This is a club that controls the only two clubs in the NBA with a market value of over one billion.
The manager of one club is the Los Angeles Lakers, and one club is controlled by this young man, the New York Knicks. What's more, this guy is the sole heir to a family with assets of three billion.
In the eyes of fans and stars in Rucker Park, this kind of person can overlook the entire New York. In the eyes of this kind of real upper-class people, those big-name stars are not as attractive as a bottle of red wine...
"I'm glad I'm here. I have nothing to say. When I was a kid, I fantasized about playing in Locke with Jonny Hammond on the fourth block.
Mr. Destroyer is not even qualified to pass the water to the Destroyer. If I want to pass the water to the Destroyer, I must at least be able to jump from the ground to the basket, because Jonny Hammond has always belonged to Locke's basket. This game is the Knicks
It was proposed by the club, New York. I always think there are two holy places, one is Madison and the other is Locke. They are both the best. All NBA players on the earth hope to play in Madison, and all the players in the world want to play in Madison.
Streetball players all hope that they can appear in Locke, so I thought, why not let the players from these two holy places have an exchange, so I brought the young people from the team here. Of course, you also saw it,
Their performance is not bad, at least I think so, because I don't think they can beat Skip, beat Black Widow, beat Hot Sauce on Locke's field. They don't belong here. Originally, I thought one game was enough, but
, my kids told me, we went to the Rock Game, the best street ball court in the world, so why not let those street ball players go play in the best indoor basketball arena in the world and let them be fair.
Treat! I also agree! We should be fair! So, the game is not over yet, two days later! We are waiting for you in Madison! EBC stars! You can go to Madison to play a game! We will sell tickets as usual! But
! All the income from this game! We will donate it to Rucker Park! You can use the money to repair the venue or use it as game bonuses! It’s up to you! There are 20,000 seats, and we only sell one seat.
50 US dollars, think about it, how much money that is! The Knicks are willing to donate all the ticket sales of one million US dollars to Locke! And, I am here! Guaranteed! Every year, the Knicks club is willing to play two games against Locke Park
Friendly matches, one in Locke, the holy land of streetball! One in Madison, the holy land of basketball! Why are you still silent! Bring your sexy girlfriends! Wear your unique clothes! Prepare to show up in Madison in two days to watch this exciting game.
! And! For the EBC players who went to the game that day, the Knicks prepared special gifts for them!" Blake Dolan stood on the commentary stage and spoke to the audience with a microphone.
Whether it was the shirtless fans standing on the roof of the car or the Rock fans standing on the sidelines drinking cheap drinks, they were all a little distracted by Blake Dolan's words. A moment later, Rock Stadium erupted in huge cheers!
One million US dollars! If it is used in game bonuses! Then, each player who goes to Madison to play can get at least one hundred thousand dollars! This is a huge number for street ball players!
At the same time, Madison is a huge temptation for them! It's not Locke there! It's a huge basketball stadium with 20,000 spectators!
Even Tyrone Evans, who made his fortune in street ball, looked excited!
"Finally, I have an announcement, we will be hiring Duke Tang as the live DJ at Madison Garden Arena! In addition to Locke's summer league, you can also hear Duke Tang on TV and in Madison.
The sound!" Black Dolan said with an excited face.
In a car in the distance, Sheldon Cooper glanced at Sam Presti and asked:
"Sam, what Blake hates most is street basketball, which is full of drugs, violence and sex. Why would he give a passionate speech to a group of people he hates? His expression is so hypocritical."
Sam Presti turned the Rubik's Cube unconsciously in his hand and said in a calm tone:
"In addition to the team's head coach, he is also the team manager. This decision, after analysis, can increase Madison Arena's attendance by 36% and increase season ticket sales by 12%. He is here today not because he wants to
What, it's what he's going to do as a manager, like, make more revenue for the team, take money out of the pockets of the fans in Rucker Park. He's not the coach now, Shelton, he's playing businessman."
