Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 162 Shaking and Cold!Are you teaching me how to do things?

That night, before the media article was published, the online fans were already happy, discussing the game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers in G2:

"Hehe, the cruel words of the Knicks, the joke of the entire league!"

"Good guy, we were all fooled by the New Yorkers' 20% chance of losing to Cleveland. It turns out there is another sentence: 80% chance of losing to Cleveland!"

"The combined score of Anthony and Stoudemire is not as much as that of Wu Di alone. Just questioning Wu Di's superstar status is simply two clowns!"

"It turns out that New York has always been the strongest, strongest backdrop!"

"Wu Di scored 40 points this time, and the next game at Madison Gardens, can't he break a record?"

……

Another game today is G2 between the Grizzlies and the Spurs.

Although the Spurs also successfully defended their home court, the score of the game was 87-93. The point difference was not that big, and it was far less topical than Wu Di's 40 points and Anthony's 16 points.

Netizens watched it lively, but all New Yorkers were blown away.

The entire United States has long been used to laughing at New Yorkers' showmanship, only New Yorkers themselves are not used to it.

How arrogant the New York media was before the game, how embarrassing it is now!

76-88!

And the combination of the two main players is not as good as a rookie!

It's all Anthony's fault!

When G1 won, it should be handled in a low-key manner, and Wu Di's mentality must be played with rhythm!
As a result, playing with fire and getting mentality got on me!

Before the game, he uttered wild words to limit others to 20 points. As a result, they all scored 40 points, but he didn't even score 20 points...

What a disgrace to New York!
As a synonym for a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper, New Yorkers resolutely aimed their poisonous tongue at their own people.

The following headline appeared in Anthony's hands the next day:

"Anthony willful, the Knicks suffer!" "," Melon becomes bitter melon, lead the team to fight the five scum! ", "Anthony directed the Cleveland tragedy, but the victim was himself", "There is a reason why Anthony was not selected for a while! ", "If Anthony can't prove himself in the next game, why not go back to Denver, the New York temple is too small to hold this rotten melon! "...

"FXXK!"

Anthony spat and threw the newspaper in his hand against the wall:

"What a bunch of bad guys! Mouth smells worse than dog shit. I'm a bitch when I read New York newspapers!"

The servant tidied up the newspapers and put them on the coffee table, and Anthony became even more furious:
"Shet! Didn't you hear what I just said? Throw them all away!"

The servant looked terrified, but didn't know what happened.

Seeing this, Anthony's wife Lara Vasquez waved her away, then stepped forward to caress Anthony's chest and said:

"Honey, she is from South America, and her English is not good, so don't be angry..."

"It's just a loss in one game. Didn't you win G1 before? The next game is to teach them a hard lesson at the Garden Square?"

Anthony let out a long sigh, squeezed out a smile towards the beautiful wife beside him and said:

"As expected of the great host of "American Idol", you are so sweet!"

Lala was flattered by Anthony, and her career has also encountered a bottleneck period recently. Due to the outdated format of "Idol" and the impact of other reality shows, the ratings have gradually narrowed, and she is under a lot of pressure.

But she still played the role of a good wife and mother perfectly. Not only did she take good care of the two children, Kiyan, but she would come to the scene to cheer for Anthony when there are games at Anthony's home court.

Anthony told the media that meeting Lala more than once was the greatest happiness in his life.

However, that afternoon, he used the excuse of team training, left his mansion in Manhattan and came to a club in Brooklyn and started fooling around.

"Dike, find me two Chinese girls! You know the type I like, not the scrawny one!"

Anthony sat on the sofa in the box, and commanded the waiter skillfully:

"By the way, I still have the Macallan I saved earlier, drink this today!"

Soon, two girls with big breasts and fat buttocks walked into the room holding wine boxes, followed by a black man with a scarred lip:
"Yo ho! Brother Gua is planning to take revenge on the Cleveland tragedy!"

Anthony saw that Scar Lip did not get up, but instead said with disgust:

"Joseph, you rotten mouth, why are you in tune with those stupid media?"

Joseph was not angry when he was scolded for being a bad mouth. He is the little leader of the New York Blood Gang, and his status is lower than Anthony.

After bumping fists with Anthony, he sat down on the sofa on the other side, unbuttoned his red shirt, and called a black girl over to toast.

Soon, a few more people came to this room, all members of the Blood Gang dressed in red, and one of them, a black man wearing a red Phillies hat, was greeted by Anthony and others:
"Master Pi, what wind brought you here?"

The full name of the black man called Pi is Chase Pires. He is not tall, and his skin is extremely dark among blacks. He is the leader of Pirus, the founding gang of the Blood Gang, in New York, and Anthony's number one underground fan.

"Gua Ge a cigarette, half the sky in New York", Anthony's confidence comes from Pires.

Pires patted Anthony on the shoulder and said:
"Aren't you worried about our melons? Those damned media, do you need me to help you sort it out?"

Anthony laughed and said:
"How can Master Pi be involved in such a trivial matter? It's just a bunch of rubbish who like to attract attention! Just watch, I won the game in two days, and they should be foolish again..."

Pires smiled and pointed at him:

"Good job! Be ambitious! In order to ensure that you can win the next game, we are going to send that Huaxia kid to meet their Buddha!"

As he spoke, he took out a pistol from his pants and fired two shots at the ceiling!
Bang!Bang!
Hearing the gunshots, the whole room reached a climax in an instant and booed.

The sound insulation in the box is very good, and the club knew that there were big shots in the room, so they didn't even come to check the situation.

But the women who accompanied the wine were scared to pee. They wanted to run but were held back by the people around them.

Anthony's face was pale, and he quickly persuaded:

"It's absolutely unnecessary, Mr. Pi! In fact, the loss in the last game is not his fault. The main reason is that our team's internal tactics have gone wrong. If you really do this, I will also be banned by the league..."

Pires smiled, turned off the safety of the pistol, stuffed it into his pants and said:

"Why such a big reaction? I was just joking! After all, I want to give it to Satan and his old man, haha!"

Everyone laughed, Anthony regained his strength, wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed too.

He already figured out that Pires was definitely joking, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing in front of the hostess.

But he had really thought about this before, and he was so shocked when he was suddenly poked in the center of his mind without precaution.

Joseph saw through his mind and suggested:
"Melon! Do you want to send a few brothers to cause some trouble for them? You know, like knocking on the hotel door in the early morning or shining a strong flashlight, it should affect their game status..."

Anthony blinked his eyes and nodded in agreement, and everyone started to indulge in the extravagant feasting again.

……

At 4 pm on April 22, the Cavaliers and the Knicks played G7 at Madison Square Garden.

Because of the grievances between Wu Di and Anthony, this game has attracted countless attentions before the game.

Arriving at the scene, it was even more star-studded.

On the sidelines, not only Gua's sister-in-law Lala, but also director Spike Lee, who is a big Knicks fan, also appeared, as well as the new pop queen Taylor Swift, Silly Face Na, hip-hop king JAY-Z, and even JAY-Z's rival NAS also came, as well as Chinese actress Lucy Liu and so on.

The scene was comparable to this year's Los Angeles All-Stars, but they all wore Anthony's No. 7 jersey, and some even wore the No. 7 jersey from the Nuggets period to prove that they are Anthony's super fans.

On the sidelines, there are "Black Seven" held by New York fans. King!" and other eye-catching handwritten cards.

Just yesterday, the Spurs lost the game against the Grizzlies 88-91, turning the series score into 2-1, and the Grizzlies once again had the hope of a black 8.

So the New York fans also rekindled their hopes. They are all teams that won upset in G1. The Grizzlies can win G3. Can the Knicks win G3?

"Hehe, it's too far away!"

Wu Di smiled to the reporters who came to interview:
"The Knicks are different from the Grizzlies. The Knicks have already used up their winning quota for this round of the series. Anthony will continue to be limited to 20 points by me. We will win three games in a row and win the game 1-4!"

……

When Anthony heard the reporter's message, he was so angry that his whole body was smoking!

Chilling!
How dare Wu Di clamor to limit him to 20 points?
I simply don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!
This is the home of the Knicks!
Wu Di's words successfully aroused his desire to attack!

"I'll score at least 30 points on him!"

Anthony snapped.

In the last game, he didn't score more than 20 points because he wasted too much energy on defense!

In this game, he will focus on offense from the very beginning, and the rest will be defensive. How could he be limited to 20 points or less?
"Cameron, don't be impulsive anymore and leave the offense to Stoudemire..."

Before the game started, D'Antoni persuaded again.

However, Anthony was furious again:

"Enough! I'm not a fledgling blue-collar player. I'm a superstar like LeBron. I know how to play in the playoffs!"

After saying that, he shook his arms and walked onto the stage.

In such a state, it is natural that Wu Di will be slapped directly under the basket as soon as he comes up!
"Oh, no, it's a big cap! Anthony should consider passing the ball more!"

At the on-site commentary stand, the famous Knicks commentator Mike Brin covered his face and said, although the referee gave the whistle for the ball, the visual effect was still too much.

"Although Anthony is rich in offensive skills, overall his offensive choices lack confrontation. For example, if Anthony chose to dunk the ball just now, he might not be blocked..."

Knicks star Walter Fraser, who partnered with Brin as a commentator, commented that although he is a Knicks star, the second team he joined later in his career was the Cavaliers, so the comments are fairly neutral.

But his ass is still sitting on the Knicks side. After all, playing a few more games, his income will be higher.

So he took advantage of Anthony's free throw and pointed out:
"Anthony's other common offensive choice is the mid-range jumper. His mid-range jumper is very good. His jumping speed and shooting posture have been strictly polished, but once he is oppressed by the defender in the air, his The hit rate has dropped drastically, which shows that his strength is relatively vain..."

"He plays like this, and it's no problem to meet players who can crush with physical talent, such as Kobe and Wade, but now he is facing Wu Di, who is about the same height and wingspan as him. Cough, although Wu Di's official The registered height is still 1 meters, but the actual height is definitely more than 96 meters. I have seen so many players, and I will never be wrong..."

"And more importantly, Wu Di is very good at confrontation and creating pressure on the opponent. He belongs to the kind of player who is more confrontational and fierce..."

"Encountering this kind of player, Anthony should play less singles! It is the right decision to hand the ball to Stoudemire. Do a good job of defense, first find the feeling of confrontation from defending Wu Di, and then feed back the offense. This is the right way..."

D'Antoni nodded again and again, but Anthony became angrier the more he listened!
He really wanted to rush up, and then said:
"Are you teaching me what to do?"

But thinking that Fraser had led the Knicks to two championship trophies, he could only shrink his neck, and then vented to the basket——

Bang!
The basketball hit the basket hard on the neck!
Wu Di grabbed the rebound in the air, and then quickly rushed to the frontcourt of the Knicks!

Anthony frantically ran over to defend, and in an instant, the two ran across the midfield, but Wu Di suddenly braked hard!
Anthony hurriedly stopped.

But Wu Di stepped on the accelerator again and rushed in, and then braked again when Anthony followed!
Anthony's eyelids twitched, and the memory of being knocked down last time made his brain hurt instantly, so he didn't follow Wu Di when he stopped again, but just let it go——

Swish!
The basketball made a splash in the air!
12-3!

The Knicks were overwhelmed by the Cavaliers at the beginning!
However, this is just a microcosm. With Anthony as a cancer, the Knicks are too easy to be targeted, just double-team crazy.

And the more double-teamed, the more anxious and poisonous Anthony is.

This directly hit the Knicks in the first quarter, trailing the Cavaliers 52-31 by 21 points at halftime!
Although Anthony scored the same 15 points as Wu Di this time, the Knicks were overwhelmed by the Cavaliers on both offense and defense!

"Cameron, Jr. Jordan and Love are just as good at this game. We still have hope of winning. You just need to give Stoudemire the right to attack, and then concentrate on defending..."

During the intermission, D'Antoni once again persuaded Anthony earnestly.

However, Anthony interrupted him:
"What you said is meaningless at all. Now the team is 20 points behind. If I don't lead the team to score, I will only lose even more!"

D'Antoni was speechless.

How did the team trail by 20 points?

Wasn't it because Anthony didn't listen to his opinion and insisted on being a lone wolf to harm the whole team?

And losing 20 points, and losing less than 10 points, the difference in the degree of damage to morale is huge!
Far from meaningless as Anthony said!
Not to mention the lack of depth in the Cavaliers lineup, if they start to return to their initial good form now, they may even have a chance to complete the overtake in the second half!
D'Antoni turned his attention to the bench, ready to pick someone to replace Anthony.

Since Anthony refused to listen to his arrangement again and again, he didn't need to give Anthony any more face!

All the Knicks players bowed their heads to avoid, the coach and the general clashed, and no one wanted to be used as a gun.

"Landry, you will replace Anthony in the third quarter!"

D'Antoni said to Landry Fields on the bench that although the latter is a role player, in his heart, he is already more reliable than Anthony.

He could see the reluctance of the crowd, but he had to replace Anthony!
Even if Anthony complains to the management, he has to change, otherwise Anthony will kidnap the team alone in the next game!
Facing this situation, Anthony frowned, and he looked at Fields sharply, issuing a stern warning.

"Ahem, Deshuai, Cameron actually wants to help the team chase points!"

Fields rubbed his nose. As the future general manager of the Eagles, his EQ and IQ are not low. Faced with this situation, he decisively chose to throw the blame.

And he actually doesn't understand D'Antoni's choice at this time. Seeing that the disadvantage is so great, Anthony takes the initiative to take the blame, what else is D'Antoni grabbing?

Thinking of this, he went on to say:

"Although the result failed to meet expectations, it was not because of Anthony, but because Wu Di broke out again in this game! So I probably won't be as good as Anthony when I played..."

Anthony nodded in satisfaction, look, even Fields is on his side, what else does D'Antoni have to say!
"waste!"

D'Antoni cursed, is this a matter of losing?
This is team control!

If he can't seize control of the team at this time, then when Anthony is firmly established in the team later, does he still have any right to speak?
