The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 1056: The Knicks' **** of the Blazers continues

In early December, the Knicks and Wilson's contract extension talks did not come to a conclusion.

"My employer is open to all options," Wilson's agent said.

Does this mean Benj is leaving New York?

Wilson answered the question in an interview: "That's your opinion, I never said that."

Negotiations with Rodman went bankrupt, and Wilson's contract extension has not been finalized, and Ewing will delay the extension until the offseason.

Then, The New York Times reminded fans: "Leader is also due next summer."

Louie, Ewing, Wilson.

The Knicks could theoretically lose all three at the same time.

The person who came out to stabilize the heart of the army was Ewing, who made a high-profile announcement that he had reached a one-year, $10 million extension with the team.

"I'm staying in New York, I plan to retire as a Knicks player, this is my home, I'm not leaving."

So weird, this was never Ewing's character.

But in the case of Wilson and Louie's delay in renewing their contracts, Ewing's statement gave fans a reassurance.

Ewing did this not purely out of a sense of responsibility.

Although 10 million a year is a lot of money, no one knows what the maximum salary at the highest level will be until the next broadcast contract comes out.

Therefore, 10 million a year may not be enough for Ewing.

But before 1999, there were many loopholes in the CBA (collective-management agreement).

For example, the player's salary is not capped, like Kyrie Earth, a scholar, a loyal Indiana citizen, Durant's good brother, a king of backstabs, a role model for workers, Irving, he can, as he said, A $1.5 billion contract was offered in this era.

Whether the team is willing to say otherwise, but he can really ask for this contract.

For another example, if a player likes a certain team, but the space left in the opponent's salary cap cannot free up enough money to sign him, they can sign a short one-year contract that the salary cap can bear. Then, re-sign a long-term contract that matches the player's worth during the contract period.

In the 90s, you could just do that.

Therefore, Ewing renews his short-term contract for one year, which can not only show his sense of responsibility and show his leadership, but also will not affect his future signing of a big contract.

"What is Benjamin hesitating about?"

Such questions quickly appeared in major newspapers.

Compared to Ewing's blandness, Wilson's hesitation was disturbing.

Curiously, no other media outlet, except The Times, would specifically mention Louie's contract expiring in 1994.

They seemed afraid of forcing Louie to make a decision.

Regardless, Wilson's popularity in New York is waning.

As for the zombies in the eyes of fans, Ewing, who was generally indifferent or even disgusted by reporters, became more lovable.

Ewing finally understood that it was not the fans and the media who had to like Wilson and hate him, but that he himself rejected the love of others.

This season, Ewing has become the focus of the media.

He always showed a silly smile, signed autographs for fans, patiently answered questions from reporters, maintained the team's image, and did everything a leader should do.

When reporters interviewed Ewing about Wilson's contract extension.

Ewing shrugged and smiled: "I don't know why you are worried about this, without Benj, the dynasty is gone, he will stay."

Wilson is consuming a little bit of fans' goodwill towards him.

The more disgusted Wilson was, the more popular Ewing became.

He no longer steals the show.

Ewing also successfully pulled back a lot of impression points through the things he did.

Is this really not Benj's plan?

Make Ewing the leader on and off the court before he can leave New York.

Because he understands, and Ewing also understands, that there can only be one leader on the team.

Since Ewing can be a good leader, there is no need for him to compete with him, because competition will lead to broken teams. He didn't want to ruin the team's chemistry.

Because this is the team that Louis personally formed, and it is also the team of him and Ewing.

Louie feels like the recent Wilson looks like he's reverted to the first six games of last season's Finals.

But watching his training and games, his connection with his teammates has not been cut off.

He remains dependable, selfless, team-mate and passionate.

Alan Houston once asked him how to maintain his shooting accuracy at a high level.

Wilson then offered his insights on his shooting form and preparation.

When Tony Kukoc was knocked to the ground in an intra-team matchup, Wilson told him that he had to be tougher if he wanted to stay on the team.

Wilson hasn't changed, he just stopped trying to lead the team.

After Thanksgiving, Tomjanovich found his coaching style.

Although this is a team that has been coached by Louie for nearly a decade, the person responsible for training them these years is Tomjanovich.

Tomjanovich knows them well.

Instead of changing the system, he shifted the offensive focus from the outside to the inside.

Because Wilson's future is uncertain, and the Knicks are getting stronger inside.

Ewing is one of the top five centers in the league. Kemp is turning into a super power forward. After a season of tempering, backup center Yu Tiancan has gradually adapted to the Knicks' game rhythm. This season has ushered in great progress. Averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block per game.

In order to adapt to the evolution of Kemp and Yu Tiancan, the data of Ewing and Wilson declined.

Ewing's averages fell to 18 points and 9.6 rebounds, while Wilson is 22 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Both have career-low rebounding numbers.

The score data is the lowest in recent years.

Before Christmas, the Knicks had a 21-5 record, ranking first in the Eastern Conference and third in the league.

In the West, the Golden State Warriors have risen strongly and currently lead the league with a 24-2 record.

The Trail Blazers followed with a 22-4 record.

These three teams are considered championship contenders.

Below them, the Heat are the spearheads of the second group.

In the East, in addition to the inherent strong team, the Magic also joined the strong team list this season.

Chris Webber and Tim Hardaway made an immediate impact on the team.

Especially Weber.

What he's done at the high post is something no one has ever done in basketball history.

Phil Jackson's triangle offense unlocks a skill that Webb never really unlocked in Louis' previous life—playmaking.

Webber used a solid high jumper to open space for O'Neal, and then passed a comfortable drop pass.

When Shaquille O'Neal can't catch the ball, Webber can also serve as the pivot of the high post to drive the entire team's offense.

Although Pence burst into dazzling light in Golden State, Webber also used the data of 22 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists per game to strongly prove that the scouts' touts about him did not come from the fantasy of unknown things.

With the Pan-1984 generation entering the 30-year-old mark, the transition between the old and the new in the league is accelerating.

On Christmas night, the Knicks host the Blazers.

When two teams with a **** feud meet on such a night, they will definitely fight sparks.

Pat Riley doesn't know the reason for Louie's dismissal, but he feels that if the opponent is a rookie like Tomjanovich, there is no reason for the Blazers to lose.

As a result, Tomjanovich was uncharacteristically tonight and said directly to the players: "Let the Portlanders recall Game 7 of the Finals!"

At the time, McHale also made a joke: "Do you want them to recall the first half (the Knicks trailed by 22 points) or the second half?"

Then, Tomjanovich's nuclear good stare made McHale shut up.

Tomjanovich managed to build an edge with Wilson, Reggie Williams, Stevens, Christie and Mahone for the new murder press team.

It was a rough game beyond words.

A total of four people were ejected from both the Knicks and the Blazers.

In the final round of the game, the two sides were tied.

The final ball that killed the game was in the hands of Reggie Miller.

The Blazers had too many people to take care of. Miller got a chance by running, and his lore drove the Garden into a frenzy and brought the Portlanders back to Game 6 of last season's finals.

Of course they won't forget that night.

Miller stole a victory for the Knicks with this white-in-red-out 3-pointer.

Without Miller, the Blazers would have won that night.

With a sullen face, Jordan lashed out in the Gardens' visiting locker room, cursing all his teammates and punching the closet, injuring his hand.

He was angry because they missed the best chance.

And what made him lose his mind was the harsh reality that the Knicks' **** of the Blazers continued even if Louie was no longer coaching.

"Brother Shen!"

"Um!"

Shen Changqing was walking on the road, and when he met someone he knew, he would say hello or nod to each other.

But no matter who.

Everyone's face has no superfluous expressions, as if they are very indifferent to everything.

to this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Ministry of Suppression, it is an organization that maintains the stability of Daqin~www.readwn.com~ The main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

It can be said.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone had a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The town magic department is very big.

Those who can stay in the Town Demon Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two occupations, one is the guardian envoy and the other is the demon slayer.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts from the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then he was promoted step by step, and finally he was expected to become a guardian envoy.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest-ranked slayer.

Has the memory of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Town Demon Division.

It didn't take too long, Shen Changqing stopped in front of an attic.

Different from other places full of chills in the Demon Suppression Division, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different tranquility in the **** Suppression Demon Division.

At this time, the door to the attic was open, and occasionally people came in and out.

Shen Changqing just hesitated for a moment, then stepped inside.

Enter the attic.

Circumstances have changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood rushed towards his face, causing his brows to instinctively wrinkle, but then quickly stretched.

There is almost no way to clean the **** smell on everyone in the Zhen Mosi.
