Chapter 951 When the training ground is the Shura field
On April 4, five days before the end of the NBA regular season, a basketball book "When the Garden Is Eden" was released that claimed to have revealed the secrets of the Knicks dynasty.
This book detonated the whole United States almost immediately.
""Resurrection Season" will let you know why the Knicks rose. And "When the Garden Is Eden" will tell you that the dynasty is not smooth sailing, and victory is not taken for granted. There is also a crisis inside the glamorous Knicks, just like us Never knew Coach Lu was a racist man." - The New York Times.
In the future, before publishing a new book, many writers will release one of the more eye-catching clips for the public to increase their interest in reading.
The Times did the same to promote the book.
They chose to insert an excerpt from "When the Garden Was Eden" in the latest issue of the newspaper.
This segment focuses on the series of stories that followed Wilson's brief stint as the league's highest-paid player after signing a big contract in 1990.
Judging from this clip, the author of this book, William Roden, spent a year with the Knicks last year and it was not without any gains.
At least the story he told included Ewing's gut-wrenching reaction and the subsequent development of Wilson as the highest paid man in the league.
As written by the person concerned, every sentence in this excerpt is true.It can be seen that Roden is very confident in this paragraph, so he will release this part of the content to attract the audience.
As the defending champion, the Knicks have many auras.
Even if they are not their fans, they will buy this book.
The gossip involved in it alone is worth watching.
Although the book caused a huge effect when it was first released, the Knicks did not pay too much attention to the matter.
Just like when "Resurrection Season" was released, no matter how well the book sold, no one bought it to read it.
For the players, they are the first-hand witnesses of that season, they know what happened during the season, so they don't need this book to help them remember
There are two games left before the end of the regular season. Although the Knicks have lost 13 games, the Blazers have "come from behind" and have lost 15 games so far.
Therefore, even if the Knicks lose all the remaining two games, the Blazers will not be able to surpass them in the ranking.
It is an established fact that the Knicks are no longer pursuing the leading Blazers.Their goal is to maintain their ranking -- first in the league.
If they win all the remaining two games, they will be able to secure the number one position in the league
If you lose a game, it's hard to say.
The current record of the Heat is the same as that of the Knicks, and the Heat lead by virtue of the relationship between victory and defeat.
Therefore, the outcome of a game is enough to affect the overall situation.
The opponents of the finale and closing battles of the regular season are the Spurs and the Kings, respectively.
Both teams are from the West, but one is a strong team on the fringes of the playoffs, and the other is a weak team that is about to send a lottery pick to the Knicks.
The Knicks are confident of two wins.
The only bad news is that both games are away.
They're going to San Antonio first, then Sacramento.
When the Knicks came out of the airport, Spurs fans spontaneously held up banners to engage the player's mentality.
"Scrooge!", "Promiscuous," "Little-minded Jamaican Bastard" - Ewing.
"The Whistleblower," "Duplicity," "Louie's Dog" – Wilson.
"Racist", "Smiling Tiger", "Dirty Talker", "Dictator" - Louie.
"What's going on here?" Ewing was extremely displeased when he saw the so-called label forcibly pasted on him on the banner.
McHale said with a smile: "It seems to be the content of a new book that was just released recently. It was written by the writer who was in our team last year. It's called the Garden of Eden..."
If you talked about other things, Ewing didn't care.
But it said "promiscuous," a label he absolutely could not accept.
If the fans really came to this conclusion because of reading that book, then there are only two possibilities.The first possibility is that the writer made up nonsense.There is another possibility, which is what Ewing wants to confirm the most right now—is there a teammate who betrayed him and said something to the writer that shouldn't be said?
Louie didn't take those people seriously.
After arriving at the hotel, Knicks disbanded on the spot, eat what should be eaten, and catch up on sleep.
For someone as energetic as Ewing, he doesn't need to catch up on sleep.
He just wanted people to buy the book "When the Garden Was Eden", and he wanted to see for himself what was written in it.
The Knicks are currently not fully staffed.
After Rodman returned to the team, he was suspended by Louis until the end of the regular season.
Although Rodman cried bitterly in front of Louis that night, he claimed to change his past.
But Louie didn't believe he would change.
Therefore, those who should be punished should still be punished, and if they make mistakes in the future, they will continue to be punished.If he is not punished because he has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, someone will learn from him and make mistakes together.
Rodman, who was suspended, stayed in New York.
In the past few days, there have been many tabloids reporting that Rodman is in a bar...so what in a strip club...at home...in the middle of the night...In short, Rodman, the lone star, He is either on the way, or on the way.
Tabloid reports are mostly unreliable.
But the most unreliable thing about Rodman is that the unreliable reports about him will eventually be proved to be reliable by various channels.
On away game days, the Knicks usually choose to start training sessions at 02:30.
In this way, there is sufficient time to rest after training.
Because the regular season is coming to an end, and tonight's opponent is not strong, so Louie shortened the time of the training session by an hour, so that the players have more time to rest.
In the afternoon, because the training time was cut by one hour, there will be no intra-team match today. Players only need to complete their individual training before they can leave get out of class.
They don't even need to come to the gym together because there's only one workout.
Some people simply don't come to the training.
An old guy like McHale, he lied about staying in the hotel and masturbating, he might be masturbating something else, but no one cared what he was masturbating, it was just a cover anyway.
As each season draws to a close, the numbers increase.
Tomjanovich was furious about it.
He wanted to catch a typical lesson, but Louis told him: "Don't push the players too much, we rarely get confused."
Today, only Wilson, Miller, Yu Tiancan, Christie, Kemp, Sely, Stockton and Rauf came to participate in the training.
"Is Patrick not there?" Tomjanovich asked disappointedly.
"He was reading in the hotel room and said he would be late," Kemp said.
"He still reads?"
Louis imagined like Hanamichi Sakuragi when he heard that Takenori Akagi studied well.
Louis looked around the training, except for Ewing's rare absence, there was nothing new.
He is a person who is impatient and enthusiastic about training. He loses interest very quickly and wants to go back to the office, but this is an away game and there is no office for him.
So he could only pick a good seat to sit down.
After more than ten minutes, Zhao Yuanzheng ran over in a hurry.
"Old Road, something happened!"
Zhao Yuanzheng was rarely nervous, seeing his expression, Louis did not dare to neglect.
"What happened?"
"That damn book wrote a lot of inside stories that are not good for us!" Zhao Yuanzheng held a brand new "When the Garden Is the Garden of Eden" in his hand, "If these things ferment, the consequences will be disastrous."
Louis took the book, and Zhao Yuanzheng had just turned to page 255.
Through the narration, Louis learned that this paragraph was writing about Ewing's private life.
Ewing's private life?
Isn't that the well-known corruption?
Then, he looked down, and there was an interview with Wilson.
["Patrick is a very attractive man, so I'm not surprised by the rumors (promiscuity and double-digit illegitimate children)."
"Do you think these things are true?"
"Maybe, if it's true, I won't be surprised."]
There are many interpretations of Wilson's words.
Maybe he thinks he is reasonable, but in the eyes of others, he is indirectly admitting that Ewing's private life is corrupt.
As Zhao Yuanzheng said, once these contents are exposed, Ewing's image and his family will be affected.
The negative impact on Ewing is immeasurable, but what about inside the Knicks?
Louis remembered that Ewing once said that if Wilson was the one who spread rumors about his chaotic private life outside, he would never let him go.
At this time, Ewing appeared on the training ground.
Holding the half-read "When the Garden Was Eden" in his hand, he rushed to Wilson who was practicing shooting.
Although Wilson noticed that his face was unkind, he didn't think much about it.
"Patrick?"
The smile on his face lasted only a few seconds.
Ewing angrily smashed the book in his hand on Wilson's body, and then slapped him with his right hand, hitting the other's cheek.
"I'm fucking going to kill you, you bastard who chews his tongue!"
After all, Ewing lost his mind and rushed forward.
That moment was so sudden that no one could react, and no one could stop it.
It's unclear exactly why Ewing was angry Wilson also lost his mind.
Because his face was attacked by Ewing twice in a row.
First the book, then a slap in the face.
What man doesn't fight back after being slapped?
Anyone who is familiar with Wilson knows that he is originally a strong person with a strong self-esteem that cannot be violated.Over the years, for the sake of internal stability, he chose to retreat in the face of Ewing's various irritating provocations.
But today, he couldn't avoid it.
He was slapped by Ewing without warning.
He has no choice but to fight back.
Before the garden became the Garden of Eden, the training ground first became the Shura field.
