NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 610 New Traffic Password (Daily Chapter)
On Thursday, January 2009, 1, although there were no NBA games on the first day of the new year, young fans were still having fun.

Ever since the New York lads kicked out their own players on Christmas Eve, many fans have suddenly awakened to some strange attributes.

Praising members of the Knicks is not nearly as interesting as criticizing individual players who performed poorly!

History is a circle. When some old fans told the young people that they used to chase and taunt Patrick Ewing, New York fans who had watched the game for a short time were surprised.

It turns out that what they were doing had happened before, which made many people feel relieved. If the old fans did it, we can do it too!
In the three games at the end of 08, the New York media, which keeps pace with the times, once again took the lead in the current version and created the "Win the Game and Have a Meeting" model in order to cater to the fans.
On Christmas Day, Li You broke the 1984-point record set by Bernard King who played for the Knicks in the 60 Christmas game, and his 65 points became the highest score in the Christmas game in NBA history!

At the same time, 65 points also broke Li You's personal scoring record. Considering that the opponent this time is the Lakers, the first in the Western Conference, and facing Kobe Bryant, the "best player in the league";

New York fans were in high spirits after the game and even dug out the "boomerang" from 02. This record is "full of gold content"!
On Saturday, while the fans were still celebrating, the Knicks returned to their home court to face the Timberwolves with a record of 4 wins and 23 losses. Naturally, there was not much suspense in the game, after all, the competition for the No. pick this year was particularly fierce.

The home team won 87:121, but many columns in the Sunday morning newspapers were shocking:

"David Lee, who grabbed 6 offensive rebounds, should improve his finishing skills under the basket."

"World Peace should consider sharing the salary with the staff, he almost broke the basket!"

"."

Articles like this are just the tip of the iceberg. If you like surfing the Internet, take a look at the Knicks section of Reddit, where a bunch of people are complaining about role players wasting Li You's assists.

Winning can no longer excite New York fans. The "criticism meeting" after the game is more interesting than winning. The part of mocking the opponent cannot stop, and the posts about Kobe cannot stop:
"Doris Burke should ask Kobe after the game if scoring 65 points against the No. player in the Western Conference and the All-Defensive First Team was more difficult than it was for him back then?"

"I'm going to vote for O'Neal. I hope to see him selected for this year's All-Star Game. The two of them will team up again. I want to see a game like this."

"Kobe's fans are like idols, they always like to steal Lee's honor! In recent days, I finally don't see any posts about facing the No. 62 team in the Western Conference with points in three quarters!"

"Why can I still see the post about 81 points? I'm curious, is such a scoring record worthy of praise against that Raptors team?"

"The vast majority of Kobe's scoring records were achieved against teams ranked at the bottom of the rankings. Reference.com has detailed records, and those people only watch the highlights."

"1 is greater than 10! There is something wrong with their math. Kobe's shooting percentage shows that he is very inefficient in many games. Why do they always discuss him and Lee together?"

"."

In Monday's game against the Nuggets, Billups squeezed through the screen in the second quarter and strained his groin and had to leave the game due to injury. The game collapsed again in the third quarter.

100:117, although the Knicks won the game, Carmelo Anthony, who played for 42 minutes, scored 32 points efficiently!
After the game, Anthony, who lost the game, was still smiling happily. The team had a mediocre record of 19 wins and 12 losses, but the team's chemistry was better than before.

At the press conference, the New York media did not pay much attention to the issue of winning or losing, but pointed the finger at Iverson and asked Anthony maliciously:

"Chauncey Billups has injected championship experience into the Nuggets. Melo, do you think the championship guard will perform better than Iverson after joining the team?"

"."

Anthony's smile soon disappeared when he heard the word "championship experience". He seemed to understand what Garnett felt back then. Winning depends on championship experience, and many people don't care about his personal performance.

"Chauncey is better at organizing the team's offense. He is completely different from Allen. I can't compare the two."

Anthony still gave face to Iverson. The son of Philadelphia did not have an easy time in Detroit. He even played as a substitute at the end of the year, and his team's performance did not meet expectations.

When talking about the previous "standing team problem", although he had answered it many times before, Anthony had to explain it again:

"Lee is undoubtedly a legend, but Bill Russell's greatness is not limited to basketball. His struggle has won respect for black people."

"Russell is our hero, no one can deny that!"

The impact of this incident is not over yet. The one who was hurt the most was actually Michael Jordan. The vice GOAT cannot even be compared because he has too few championships.
Anthony's efficient performance made the Knicks fans open the "meeting room" again after the game, and more people participated in discussing the players' individual performances:
"JR Smith should be carrying a Madison Square Garden hoop on his back when he goes on the road! Why does he always have shit performances on the road?"

"I love world peace, he should give Anthony a punch! This guy beat our DPOY in garbage time."

"World Peace may have been invited. Obama will officially move into the White House soon. He may not want to play basketball anymore. Look at his physical condition!"

"Lee has the same man of steel as Superman! I'm a black girl and I hope he can ***"

"."

In the last game of 2008, the Knicks easily defeated the Bobcats 114:89. Li You celebrated his 31st birthday that day, and the win was a small gift from Michael Dunk.

The Time Warner Cable Arena was packed that night, an attendance rate that is rare this season. Even after changing the home stadium sponsor, the Bobcats' record in the new season is still not that good.

With 11 wins and 21 losses, the completely outdated Larry Brown failed to save the team, and Ewing, who served as assistant coach, failed to train Emeka Okafor into a beast in the interior.

三节打卡，李佑平平无奇贡献了36分4篮板10助攻4抢断1盖帽1失误的两双数据，赛后在众人的掌声中欠身致意。

Michael Jordan, who was numb from losing, no longer had a painful expression on his face. He smiled broadly when he hugged Li You after the game. Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, a lot of media reporters came.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

After the game, many spectators spontaneously shouted for Li You. In this atmosphere, Larry Brown looked unhappy and left the court early. Michael Jordan, who was interviewed on the sidelines, formally answered some questions for the first time:
"I don't know if Lee can lead the team to win eight consecutive championships, but his current achievements in basketball are undoubtedly worthy of a medal."

"Basketball is basketball. Basketball is a 'battle' and a job!"

"If you want to hear what I have to say, I will only congratulate my little brother, who, at 31, I can feel that his understanding of the game has reached another level."

"."

This answer was not satisfactory. After the game, some media reported that Michael Jordan, his old friend and Li You were drinking and smoking cigars in a nightclub. The haters were upset again, and a related topic was born on Twitter:
"Michael Jordan and Lee never cared about our interests, they cared more about selling sneakers!"

On the evening of the 1st, in addition to reviewing the Knicks' outstanding performance of 27 wins and 3 losses, TNT's program also gave high praise to the Cavaliers who were advancing rapidly!

In the Christmas game, the Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Celtics. Dwight Howard stole the show, blocking 6 shots in a single game and scoring a double-double of 18 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 6 blocks and 3 turnovers.

The transformed James cannot compare with the "happy big boy" in popularity. Howard's cheerful personality and "violent basketball" made him second only to Li You in the first round of All-Star voting, surpassing his teammates!

However, in the last game of 08, the Cavaliers unexpectedly lost to the Heat, which brought their record to 26 wins and 5 losses.

After the unexpected loss, Howard still smiled happily at the press conference, but he was sarcastic when answering questions:
"When our shooting is not good, we should reduce some three-pointers. You know, I have the ability to destroy the opponent's inside line! I can complete more offenses in the low post."

"Maybe losing is a good thing, we will learn lessons in the next game."

This interview was quoted by many media, who believed that there was a problem in the Cavaliers locker room, and James and his sword-wielding guards were deliberately suppressing Howard.
The Celtics couldn't hold on in the final stages of 08. After an unexpected loss to the Trail Blazers, their record dropped to 28 wins and 5 losses. Although they were still ranked first in the league, the team suffered injuries.

It wasn't Garnett who was tired. Ray Allen sprained his ankle, which may affect the subsequent All-Stars. In this regard, another media broke the news:
"Celtics are pleased Ray Allen will not play in All-Star Game."

The top three teams in the Eastern Conference are basically in the lead. There is no doubt that these three teams will be strong contenders for the championship. Compared with the declining Western Conference, the competition here seems to be more intense.

When the camera returned to the studio, talking about the gossip about the Celtics and the Cavaliers, Charles Barkley acted as I expected:
"Do you know why I like to praise Lee? Because the Knicks locker room has never leaked inside information to the outside world over the years."

"This is incredible. Playing on the same team does not mean you can live in peace. Kenny, you should understand that even a championship team will have internal problems." Kenny Smith was a little helpless. He didn't want to gossip deeply. In fact, the main reason for the team's split was data and US dollars. If he said too much, it would give fans a feeling that the players were playing for US dollars:
"You're right! This has something to do with the fact that the Knicks have international players. Lee is incredibly mature, and many times, he takes care of his teammates' performances."

"He has the ability to get better data! Interestingly, after David Lee became a starter, he got double-doubles in many games."

"I respect his performance, but this is inseparable from Lee's assists. Chandler also performed very well in rebounding. He has a high probability of winning the rebounding title!"

Ernie Johnson interrupted the discussion between the two partners. These statements can be misleading. Although David Lee did brush, it should not be said directly:

"I'm more concerned about the situation in the Western Conference. The Lakers seemed unaffected after the loss and scored 130 points in the game against the Warriors."

"Whether it's the team record or personal data, Kobe has the opportunity to win his first MVP in his career"

Although the NBA is "aesthetically fatigued", Charles Barkley is not optimistic about Kobe winning the award. As an old-school player, he gave his reasons almost without hesitation:
"The MVP shouldn't be defeated in a direct match. Kobe was once again taught a lesson by Lee. Unless he can save face in the next away game, not many people will vote for him!"

"Lee is clearly warning Kobe that they are not on the same level of players, and while I don't like advanced statistics, those analyses clearly show this situation."

"Kobe got beaten!"

The crazy output of his partner made Kenny Smith laugh quietly, and then he also gave his own answer:

“为什么蒂姆-邓肯不在MVP的讨论中，他在圣诞大战拿到24分12篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽的数据，全场比赛仅有一次失误！”

"I think Duncan has a chance to win his second MVP trophy in his career."

Howard's strong rise has taken away James' attention, and his MVP ranking has dropped. There are too many players in the "Big Four" and they should not win the award as a team, so the Celtics have no chance of winning the MVP.

In this case, the trophy became a competition between Li You and the Lakers. The situation was basically clear, and many basketball commentators began to call for Duncan to win the award.

The three discussed for a while, but ultimately no definite conclusion was given. However, Charles Barkley did not stop talking, but once again announced the "big event" that the fans were concerned about:
"President Obama will be inaugurated on the 18th, and there will be a huge public celebration!"

"We have received confirmation that several singers from the East Coast and World Peace have been invited."

“Maybe many fans hope that World Peace can focus on basketball, but I think he won’t miss such an event. We can continue to pay attention to the dynamics of the Knicks in the future.”

That night, the young girls held a birthday party for Li You who returned to Manhattan.

After turning 30, Li You and the older girls no longer celebrate their birthdays in a big way. No one likes to grow old, and Melinda and Jin sometimes even experience some age anxiety.

But this is not a problem for the succubus. Scarlett likes to show her affection and has unlocked various Play
The same goes for the Olsen sisters. Although the twins have different personalities, they don't mind adding some fun to their lives. Since unlocking the short film, they have become more and more fond of special activities.

As for Kristen Ritter, the little follower actually prefers to communicate with the sisters. The succubus played too crazy and she could hardly cope with it.

There are many rooms in the townhouse in Manhattan. The succubus quietly transformed one of the rooms, not only adding professional camera equipment, but also some naughty little toys.

Late at night, the twins who played the "bad girls" kept acting coquettishly, the evil teacher Kristen Ritter also collapsed on the side, and the succubus squeezed behind Li You, recording the beautiful moments from different angles.

“Happy birthday, darling.”

Scarlett, with her messy red hair, whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice that it was her turn as a "good girl" to repay the hero. As a good girl, she naturally had to be "shy and timid".

Facing these endless confrontations, Li You simply chuckled, once again showing his "gorgeous" ball control skills, and made consecutive breakthroughs to score points.

When the time passed 0:, the Olsen sisters cuddled in each other's arms, their faces redder, as if they had not yet recovered from their tipsiness. When they heard the succubus say in her sweet voice that she was going to make a movie, they couldn't help but giggle again:

"Don't you dislike those popcorn movies? They're not artistic."

"I remember saying I would not act in movies anymore. Cows are not suitable to be models. They have ugly bodies!"

"Alyce is so beautiful! Look at her waist"

As Ashley was talking, she turned around and touched him. Although she had been a model for both of their brands, they had not participated in many competitions together. She just let out a sensitive moan.

Li You hugged Mary Kate and leaned against the head of the bed, ignoring the two people playing around, and explained casually:

"Marvel's movie is the tin can you mentioned. Although the actors may be changed, it should be good at the box office. Scarlett is very suitable for that beautiful role."

"But she has to control her figure."

She casually rubbed the whiteness that was squeezed in front of her, and the succubus just hummed softly, and then kissed the two of them. Mary Kate turned her head away shyly, and Scarlett chuckled.
"Superhero! We're going to Los Angeles for a few days in two months."

Seeing the succubus leave the bedside, the evil female teacher breathed a sigh of relief, but soon heard a voice at the door again:

"I'm going to go get a bottle of wine."

After finding a bottle of red wine on the second floor, the succubus did not return immediately, but moved quietly to the young girl's room.

Elizabeth Olsen, who is almost 20 years old, was deeply impressed by her first communication with her sister. She was not quite used to the high-intensity confrontation and could only practice in pairs at most.

Seeing that the young girl was indeed not asleep, Scarlett quickly squeezed into her arms. The soft touch made Elizabeth Olsen let out a low cry, and then she was hugged.

"Are you worried about us? Clay won't be tired, just relax and leave it to me."

"Don't"

The young girl, who was reluctant but willing, stood up in her pajamas. The succubus's hoarse voice seemed to have a different effect, and she soon blindfolded the other person with a black ribbon.

I knew what was going to happen, but my body didn't resist. As I was led hand in hand and walked towards the third floor, I couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

When the two people appeared with the red wine, Elizabeth Olsen vaguely heard footsteps, and then Li You's low voice rang in her ears:
"Our little princess."

In January, the Knicks also had a busy schedule, with four games a week, which was also the "burnout period" before the All-Star Game.

For veterans like Li You, many games are just routine punch-ins. It is difficult to lose when facing the Wizards who are diving for the No. 1 pick.

The New York media has found a new traffic code. During the mediocre schedule, they have received unanimous praise by constantly "holding meetings" with the players!
James Dolan naturally discovered this situation, but the curly-haired boss did not stop it. Instead, he broke the news himself through his own MSG, and the ratings of related programs rose accordingly.
New York’s big basketball reality show was officially underway, and by mid-January, fans were getting happier and the winning “conferences” had become a regular fixture.

On January 1, the Knicks lost their first home game in the new year, and their opponent was the Mavericks. After being swept, the fans were angry, and Artest, who participated in the rally, successfully took the blame.

After the game, New York fans gathered at the exit of the stadium and began to vent their depressed emotions. Although everyone held meetings when they won, they also had to criticize when they lost:
"We need him to focus on basketball!"

"World Peace should not leave the team during a busy schedule!"
