Chapter 349 We want black eight

"Meng, take a look at this newspaper." On April 2002, 4, Meng Xu, who had just finished his recovery training, saw James Posey waving a newspaper in his hand before he sat down on the chair beside the court, and he was in a hurry. Walked into the training ground.

"James, you don't want to tell me that the reason why you are late is to queue up to buy this newspaper, right?" Meng Xu took the towel handed over by the staff and pretended to be dissatisfied while wiping the sweat from his head He looked at James Posey who had come to his side.

"That's right, James, although the regular season is coming to an end today, it doesn't mean that we can relax now, and a more difficult playoffs are still waiting for us." The leader of the room, Reggie Miller, also stopped training and walked to the sidelines, wanting to see what big news happened today.

"Hey, hey, hey, you look so funny, there are still 20 minutes before the training session starts, it's not that I'm late, it's that you guys came too early, okay?" James Posey pointed The timer above the basket muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Idiot." Meng Xu took the newspaper handed over by James Posey, browsed through it, and threw the newspaper on the ground.

"Bastard, who are you calling an idiot?" James Posey, who was taking off his training uniform, threw his coat to the ground when he heard Meng Xu's scolding, and stretched out his big hand to pinch Meng Xu's neck.Meng Xu is the boss of the Pacers and the core of the team. He is one and only one in the team. Because of this, many players in the team, especially the rookies who have just entered the league, are somewhat afraid of him, but none of these people Including James Posey, on the team's training ground, the laughing and cursing between James Posey and Meng Xu is already one of the daily items.

"Let go of me, you idiot, I'm talking about Xiao Daolan." Meng Xu, who was strangled by James Posey, kept thumping his legs, almost kicking James Posey's vitals, and James Posey , also pretended to be in pain, covered his key parts, and fell to the ground.

"A pair of idiots." Looking at Meng Xu and James Posey who were fighting, Reggie Miller rolled his eyes and picked up the newspaper that Meng Xu had thrown away.

"We want to black again!" The newspaper that Meng Xu threw away was today's New York Times. On the front page of the sports section, there were these black and bold fonts. Below it was New York Knicks owner James Large color portrait of Dowland.

"The game against the Raptors, I deliberately asked Jeff to lose, so that I could meet the Pacers in the playoffs, and then we will be like 99 years, create another black 8 miracle, and then enter the NBA Finals Win the championship in the final." Seeing Xiao Dolan's wild words in an interview with the New York Times, Reggie Miller was speechless for a while, no wonder Meng Xu called him an idiot, this guy obviously lacked a clue.

Last night, the Knicks played against the Raptors at home. Before that, the two teams were 42 wins and 41 losses. Since the Knicks won the Raptors one more game in the first three games of this season, the Knicks ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, but in this crucial final game, the Knicks sent a full bench lineup, and finally gave the Raptors a victory for nothing, and the Raptors also relied on this victory to win 3 points. With a record of 43 wins and 41 losses, he rose to seventh in the Eastern Conference and successfully avoided the Pacers who had already locked in the Eastern Conference.

This kind of behavior of the Knicks also made almost all basketball experts puzzled. want.The New York Times, who wanted to get to the bottom of it, interviewed Knicks owner James Dowland overnight last night, and James Dowland's answer also made the New York Times very satisfied. The Knicks deliberately lost in order to win in the playoffs. Hard anal walker, this is definitely an explosive news that can detonate countless eyeballs.Therefore, the New York Times, which had already arranged the press release, immediately gave up the headlines on the front page. I can't say with certainty that the Knicks will definitely be able to go down, but its tendency is self-evident.

"Hehe." After reading the newspaper, Reggie Miller chuckled and threw the newspaper into the trash can. The Pacers only have one mortal enemy, and that is the Knicks. It's a pity for the Knicks. I didn't expect the Knicks to send it to the door on purpose, and they still deliberately let the water go, and they also want to play the Pacers in the playoffs. Is this the so-called hero who sees the same thing?Ah bah, can the Knicks now be called heroes?The bears are almost the same, especially the Knicks owner James Dolan, and the brain CAN fan Spike Lee, these two guys are definitely sticks.

Although he is very disdainful of the Knicks, Reggie Miller still unconsciously recalls the history of the Pacers and the Knicks for so many years. Since he entered the league, the Pacers have played in the playoffs six times. Encountering the Knicks, overtaking, reversing, tiebreaker, lore, each time the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and almost caused group fights several times.

In these six matchups, the Knicks and the Pacers won three times each. The only thing that made Reggie Miller regretful was the Eastern Conference Finals in 3, which was the first season after Jordan retired for the second time. The season in which he thinks he has the best chance of winning a championship.That year, the Knicks blacked out the No. 99 Heat in the Eastern Conference in the first round, and then went all the way to the finals. It can be called the Knicks' most brilliant season in recent years.In the Eastern Conference finals that year, the Knicks and the Pacers played inextricably, and the point difference in each game was very small. Two of the games were decided by lore and quasi-lore.At the end of the four games, the two sides tied 2-2. In the critical battle of Tianwangshan, Reggie Miller scored 30 points and 6 rebounds, but he was injured in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers finally lost. Lost the battle of Tianwangshan.In the last game, Reggie Miller, who was unwilling to fail, played with an injury, but surrendered 18 of 3 shots. That year was the year that Reggie Miller had the most hope of winning the championship. Therefore, As long as he thinks back to that season, Reggie Miller will feel extremely regretful.

"Reggie, don't worry, the Knicks are not enough of a threat to us at all." Meng Xu, who had finished fighting with James Posey and started training again, found that Reggie Miller seemed a little absent-minded.

"Hmm." Reggie Miller, whose thoughts were interrupted by Meng Xu, nodded first, and then shook his head, making Meng Xu beside him also confused.

"Reggie, don't worry, I will definitely give you a championship for Indiana." Looking at Reggie Miller's back, Meng Xu also understood Reggie Miller's abnormal behavior just now. The 36-year-old Ray Jimmy Le really doesn't have a few years left in his career. Perhaps for this veteran who has worked hard in the NBA for 15 seasons, it is his last wish to be able to wear a championship ring before retiring.
