After the game, they didn't even want to stay in Madison any longer and left quickly, leaving the Knicks in the center of the court to celebrate their hearty victory.
"Celtics gone?"
Lin Yu had just finished high-fiving Zach Randolph and turned around to look for Pierce and the others, but he only saw Tony Allen.
Although he was surprised, Lin Yu quickly walked to Tony Allen, who was obviously waiting for him, high-fived, shook hands, and hugged.
After a set of procedures was completed, the two chatted for a while, and Tony Allen suddenly said: "I may have to leave Boston."
"leave?"
Lin Yu was immediately surprised. Tony Allen's current contract was just renewed with the Celtics this summer, and is worth US$5 million over two years.
Of course Lin Yu would find it strange that he was about to leave just after renewing his contract.
"I wanted to talk to you because I don't know what to do next and I need some advice."
When Lin Yu heard this, he probably understood.
"So, Tony, are you leaving New York tonight?"
"No, tomorrow."
"Then let's meet in the locker room and let's have a good chat."
Lin Yu patted Tony Allen on the shoulder, and Tony Allen nodded. He also noticed that Lin Yu was surrounded by various cameras.
In the post-match interview, Lin Yu, who was still the best player in the game, briefly answered three questions from Walter Frazier and left in a hurry.
Everyone thought the game was over, and what everyone thought was a good show ended hastily. In fact, the real show had just begun.
Lin Yu returned to the locker room, took a shower, changed into casual clothes, and then went out and walked towards the visiting team's locker room. He only saw three or two reporters along the way. They seemed to have suddenly received some news, and even looked at it.
Lin Yu, who was not allowed to appear suddenly, trotted away.
Lin Yu found it strange, but he still had an appointment with Tony Allen, so he didn't go into details.
As he walked, he was still thinking about why the Celtics wanted to trade Tony Allen, and whether Mr. Tony had received any commitment from the Celtics management to designate a next home.
Lin Yu also thought that the current general manager of the Celtics is Michael Carr, and his operating methods should be different from Danny Ainge.
Therefore, in summary, the Celtics' decision to send away Tony Allen should have something to do with the Celtics' other Allen.
Soon, Lin Yu found Tony Allen at the corner outside the visiting team's locker room.
"Tell me, Tony, why you want to leave Celtic."
Tony Allen shook his head: "It's not that I want to leave, but that the team wants to trade me."
He went on to explain: "Michael Leon Carr, you should know him. He is the current leader of the Celtics. He and Danny Ainge have different ideas for team building. He thinks that I do not conform to his team building ideas.
So I was notified that I would be sent away before the trade deadline this season."
Lin Yu probably understood. He originally thought he had something to do with Ray Allen, but it turned out not to be the case.
So, he asked Tony Allen again: "Are you able to decide your next home on your own?"
Teacher Tony shook his head: "No, but my contract will expire soon."
Lin Yu nodded: "Then, I will ask you next, whether your goal is the O'Brien Cup or a higher team status in the next stage."
"Are there any conflicts between the two?"
"Of course, if you go to a strong team that competes for the championship, there is a high probability that you will not be the starter. There is a high probability that you will be the substitute like now. But if you are willing to go to a small team, you will be the starter.
And it's very possible to get a higher team status."
The higher status of the team that Lin Yu mentioned refers to the status of the locker room. Tony Allen also understood this, and he looked like he was thinking.
Lin Yu is also thinking that as a role player, Tony Allen's advantages and disadvantages are still too obvious. He is top-notch defensively in the league, but has almost no shooting, and does not conform to the trends and trends of the league.
Tony Allen thought about it and quickly gave an answer: "I hope to get a higher team status."
Lin Yu immediately felt it was a pity. If Tony Allen had chosen the O'Brien Cup, he could have directly recommended his team to Teacher Tony.
And since Teacher Tony has chosen a higher team status, the advice he gives will naturally be more reasonable.
"Then go to a small team, or a team dominated by young people, play to the strengths of your old players, and become the leader in the locker room and the big brother who guides the direction at critical moments on the field."
Teacher Tony kept nodding, and Lin Yu then said: "If you want to be more specific, I suggest you go to Thunder, it will be a good place to go."
Lin Yu gave a specific destination, and his idea was very simple, that is, sending Teacher Tony to the West. In this way, he and Lin Yu would only meet twice each season, not counting the playoffs.
The choice of Thunder can be considered a casual arrangement by Lin Yu.
The Western Conference is already very strong. If Tony Allen goes to the Thunder and takes the Thunder's young team to a very high level in advance, then the Western Conference will be even more devilish. And this is what Lin Yu wants to see.
Anyway, in the next few seasons, the Eastern Conference will become weaker and weaker. The Pistons have fallen behind, and the Celtics will gradually fall behind. The Magic are a paper tiger, and the Eastern Conference is basically a competition between him and LeBron James.
The west is stronger and the east is weaker.
Although everyone says they want a stronger opponent, they are just talking.
Most people's inner thoughts are still, let the opponent be weaker, I want to harvest honors, I want to accumulate honors as quickly as possible, I want to surpass so-and-so, surpass the god of basketball...
Tony Allen extended his right hand towards Lin Yu, followed by another high-five, handshake and hug.
"Thank you, Lin. I already know how to choose."
Lin Yu said goodbye to Tony Allen. On his way back, he was immediately stopped by the breathless team press officer.
"Quick, Lin, go to the parking lot."
Lin Yu was surprised: "Parking lot? What happened?"
He asked subconsciously because he had noticed something was wrong.
"KG was blocked."
"Being blocked? KG?" Lin Yu opened his mouth wide, subconsciously speeding up his pace, and then immediately reacted: "No, it should be... blocked by someone again?"
The last time he was blocked, it was Zach Randolph. What happened this time? However, let’s not mention what happened. Garnett was blocked one after another. I’m afraid he won’t dare to come to New York next time.
Already.
"It's Fat Joe, he led people to block KG."
"Fat Joe?" Lin Yu gradually slowed down. Fat Joe blocked Garnett. What's the point of telling him to go? He and Fat Joe were not familiar with each other.
But he still has to give Fat Joe a thumbs up. This guy does what Garnett says, and he's not ambiguous at all.
"I don't have any personal relationship with Fat Joe, so it won't be of any use if I go, right?"
"But Leon said that only you can solve this matter."
Leon was talking about Hollins. Lin Yu thought about it and guessed that this was the case. Fat Qiao was standing up for him, and indeed he was the only one who could stop Fat Qiao.
But he still shook his head and spread his hands: "Why should we solve it? Just let Fat Qiao kill KG."
The press officer looked confused, and then explained anxiously: "No, Lin, this matter must be resolved. This is our home court. If it gets too big, we will be the ones who suffer."
Lin Yu thought about it immediately. Indeed, if this matter gets serious, the Knicks will be the first to be punished by the league. Fines and other things are still small things, and they are afraid of a few empty games.
But the question is, how big can the loss be in an empty stadium?
Lin Yu shook his head secretly. He decided to just be a bystander and not intervene in this conflict. Anyway, even if it got too big, the league could only punish Madison and Knicks fans.
Lin Yu quickly followed the press officer to the scene, and then saw a very "tragic" scene.
The security at the scene, as well as the two bodyguards brought by Garnett himself, blocked Garnett.
On the other side is Fat Qiao. Fat Qiao is a bald fat man with a sinewy face and wearing a big gold chain.
In front of him were a group of New York street gangsters. There was even a guy named Nico who was taller and stronger than Garnett. Lin Yu even suspected that this guy with an exaggerated figure was a UFC heavyweight.
Therefore, just looking at the strength on paper, Fat Joe will undoubtedly crush Garnett.
Once the hand-to-hand combat begins, Garnett will obviously get beaten up.
Lin Yu stood at the corner of the parking lot entrance and stopped in his tracks.
The press officer was a little anxious, but Lin Yu waved his hand: "Don't be anxious, let's watch the show first."
Soon, the drama began.
From a distance, Lin Yu only heard Fat Qiao's roar: "Fuck him!"
Then, the big UFC guy that Lin Yu had been paying attention to rushed directly into the crowd and started fucking furiously. He was about to hit KG, but KG kept retreating.
After that, the beep beep siren started to sound.
Everything came to an abrupt end, and KG just received a cold punch that was not powerful. After all, he had been retreating, and even a fully powerful punch would become a weak fist.
However, his two bodyguards were already bruised and swollen.
"So dedicated..."
Lin Yu felt a little emotional. He also had bodyguards, but his bodyguards were probably not as professional and dedicated as KG's bodyguards.
Shaking his head, Lin Yu chose to leave, because he knew that after a while, reporters would arrive one after another. He did not want to be photographed and then have a tabloid write a lively report.

After the game between the Knicks and Celtics, it became the focus. Fat Joe and KG were both taken to the police station and quickly fished out.
Various on-site photos began to go viral, and then fines from the league arrived.
KG, the protagonist of the farce after the game, was fined US$20,000 by the league. Madison's mismanagement caused the Knicks fans to cause trouble first, and the league also fined him US$100,000. The difference was that the amount was increased to US$100,000.
Lin Yu felt very happy after seeing the excitement, because this time, Garnett would be very depressed. Not only was he beaten, but he was also fined with a knife.
But what makes him even more depressed is that after Fat Joe was arrested, another big boss in the black celebrity circle in New York, JayZ, who had trouble dealing with Fat Joe, also spoke out.
"My suggestion is that KG should not come to New York again, because he is already a public enemy of New York. Once he comes, he will be blocked again."
Just judging from JayZ's voice, KG has indeed angered the New York fans. After all, JayZ and Fat Joe are standing together.
Beyond these postgame anecdotes, the game itself has become classic fodder for blaming the Celtics and the now-departed Danny Ainge.
"For the sake of Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics sent away Lin Yu. As a result, the Big Three formed by Danny Ainge gained nothing, but Lin Yu, who was sent away by him, held a
A championship ring that comes with the FMVP trophy, and he has become the leader of the Knicks' passionate and promising young team."
"To correct a mistake, it was not the Celtics who sent Lin Yu away, but Danny Ainge who sent Lin Yu away."
"Why did Danny Ainge send Lin away? I still can't figure it out."
"Danny Ainge had two main reasons for sending Lin Yu away. One was that he wanted to form a Big Three. At that time, Lin was not yet an All-Star player, and the trade resulted in Ray Allen and KG.
, and almost a chip; secondly, Lin was injured at the time, and it is said that it is extremely easy to repeatedly tear the labrum of the hip joint..."
"So, now Danny Ainge should have a question mark on his face, where is Lin's hip labrum? Why hasn't it been repeated?"
"I can only say that Lin is extremely talented."
"..."
In addition to beating Danny Ainge to death, after the game, there were more discussions about the overall situation of this season.
"The Celtics lost so miserably. This Christmas game was not exciting in any way. As Bill (Simmons) said, the Celtics have been widened by the Knicks.
Not only should we re-evaluate the strength of the Celtics, we should also re-evaluate the strength of the Knicks."
At the beginning of the season, Zach Lowe ranked the Knicks second in the league and encountered some doubts.
The follow-up is that since the start of the season, the Knicks have played better and better and have proven themselves in countless games. As of now, the Knicks have only lost three games, the Mavericks, back-to-back Suns and Lakers.
The loss to the Lakers made the Knicks questionable, but this big win against the Celtics obviously proved something.
"This Knicks has at least some elements to win the championship. They have one of the top three superstars in the league: Lin Yu, a powerful All-Star: Zach Randolph, and a group of high-quality role players.
: Kyle Lowry and Wilson Chandler, who are young and full of potential and have made great progress this season, and Mario Chalmers, who was considered an immediate player at the beginning of the draft, have impressed the entire league in the past three or four seasons.
James Posey, the top wing blocker that everyone is jealous of, etc..."
"Nearly two months of regular season, it has been proved that this Knicks only lacks a qualified sixth man. In addition, their player configuration has reached the championship level requirements, and even exceeds some.
