In the game at Madison Garden Arena, the EBC players lost as badly as the Knicks did in Locke. Although the referee had relaxed the rules to allow the fans at the scene to see a more gorgeous attack as much as possible, the EBC star
They still committed a lot of fouls, especially because they didn't know how to defend. In Madison, this problem was fatal enough. When Tyrone Evans was blocked by Eddie Griffin four times in a row, the street baller who was rampant in New York was pulled
His own jersey roared at Eddie Griffin:
"Does ** know how to play basketball?"
And Eddie Griffin’s answer to him was equally brilliant:
"Boy, this is Madison, my territory."
…
Blake Dolan and the Knicks kept their word. After this game, they donated the ticket sales to Rucker Park. Of course, naturally, Duke Tanger also became the home DJ of the Knicks in the new season. This rough
The old man's commentary will be refreshing for New York fans wearing suits.
And just one day before the start of the new regular season, New York fans felt like they had fallen into hell.
On this day, a trade news broke out in the league. The New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls seemed to have reached a deal. This season's sixth pick Kirk Hinrich and Knicks backup forward Osela Harrington will be sent to the Chicago Bulls.
, and the Chicago Bulls sent the team's starting center Tyson Chandler and additions Dalibaba Gary to acquire Kirk Hinrich, and also sent a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2004.
All New York fans think this is a silly joke. It is not an equal trade at all. A rookie who scored 23+13 points in the preseason is exchanged for a center who has been involved in back injury rumors all summer, unless the Knicks
The management of the Sri Lankan club has collectively burned out their brains.
However, before they could laugh at this joke, they saw the news of this transaction on the Knicks club's official website. Apart from waiting for the league's review, everything was a foregone conclusion. In the hearts of New York fans, the new son of New York, the younger version
Stockton is about to don a Chicago Bulls uniform.
Countless fans smashed their beer cans against the screen. On the same day, a demonstration group composed of New York fans appeared outside Madison Square Garden. Angry Knicks fans set fire to clothing with the Knicks team logo outside Madison.
Holding Kirk Hinrich's No. 5 jersey high, they tried to use demonstrations to get the Knicks to abandon what they considered a stupid deal!
"Trade Blake Dolan and his team to Chicago!" A banner read this sentence. Two middle-aged fans held the banner and shouted at the TV cameras that came to report:
"Trade Blake Dolan to Chicago! Look at the manager in Chicago! Compare that to the Knicks manager! What better idea do you have besides killing him! Blake! Get out of the Knicks! Keep Kirk!"
The demonstrators ultimately failed to get the results they wanted. During their demonstration, the NBA arbitration approved the deal. This left the Knicks fans with nowhere to vent their anger. A dozen fans angrily overthrew Madison.
Three cars in the parking lot were set alight, and seven fans were taken away by the police.
ESPN TV was the first to report the news of the transaction. ESPN commentators commented on the transaction as follows:
"Maybe Blake Dolan wanted to make up for the mistake of trading Kurt Thomas before, but he made a bigger mistake for this, trading Kirk Hinrich for a big man with excellent defense. This is completely unfair, because from then on
Judging from the data and games, Kirk Hinrich will definitely become a player like LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, who can compete with them for the Rookie of the Year. The new manager of the Chicago Bulls, John Paxson, may be able to compete with them because of this deal.
Winning the best manager of the season, their rookie Chris Kaman has outstanding abilities. Now, they have found a strong point guard. The Chicago Bulls in the new season are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated in the Eastern Conference. These two rookies,
Maybe you will be able to make your voice heard in the league soon!”….
But during this turbulent time, Blake Dolan didn't care about the news at all. He didn't give Kirk Hinrich a call. On the contrary, he invited Kirk Hinrich to his office and sat across from the rookie.
, told him the news that he was about to fly to Chicago.
Kirk Hinrich fell into a daze when he heard the news. He knew nothing about the deal. He told his high school classmates two days ago that he would take them to see the Empire State Building if he had time, but
Now, he is about to bid farewell to the team where he has just stayed for more than two months.
"What did I do? Black?" Kirk Hinrich thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how he made the club dissatisfied with him, so he raised his head and looked at Black Dolan.
"Kid, you didn't do anything wrong. There's no need to blame yourself. On the contrary, it was your excellence that allowed us to have this deal. Chicagoans have been coveting you for a long time." Blake Dolan lit a Camel cigarette and said.
.
"Excellent? Then why trade me! I have never expressed dissatisfaction with the club." Kirk Hinrich lowered his head, as if talking to himself, or asking Blake Dolan again.
"Listen, Kirk, I'm very sad to see you leave. You are the best young player in the Knicks. However, we need Tyson Chandler to increase our internal strength. At the point guard position, we have accumulated players.
There are too many, but you are the only one who can make the Bulls interested in trading. When I signed that contract, I hesitated for a long time. Well, Chicago is also a big city, and the fans there will be happy to have you join.
Abnormal, you will become the new idol of the Windy City! I wish you all the best in Chicago! Kid." Blake Dolan stood up, ready to end this conversation. He has used Kirk Hinrich as a bargaining chip since the draft.
He has no nostalgia for this excellent point guard. In his heart, Kirk does not belong to the Knicks.
Kirk Xinrich stood up subconsciously and walked towards the door. After taking a step outside, he turned his head and stared at Blake Dolan behind the desk with his bright eyes:
"Sir, will you regret trading me?"
Blake Dolan and Kirk Hinrich looked at each other without hesitation, and then uttered one word:
"no."
Kok Xinrich exhaled forcefully, his young face full of seriousness:
"You will regret this."
Black Dolan pursed his lips and made an indifferent expression:
"I'm waiting for that day to see whether you become the biggest stain on my managerial career, or I become the best coach in your basketball career. Good luck, Cork."
