Chapter 375 Off-site turmoil (please subscribe, please support)

This game with the Eagles was a "battle for three spots." After losing this game, the Eagles trailed the opponent by 2 games. In addition, they won 0-4 in the regular season.

Even if they catch up with these two games, the Knicks will be ranked behind the opponent due to the lag in the outcome.

In other words, unless the Knicks can win three more games than the Hawks in the following games, they will only be ranked fourth.

With 16 games left in the season, this gap is not easy to chase. Although it is just a little bit behind, "the situation is stronger than the people", so Ke Yan can only acquiesce to this result and pursue something more practical for the team.

For example, Curry's "Rookie of the Year" award is stable, but in addition to the Rookie of the Year, Curry should also be able to compete for a spot on the All-NBA Team. Kobe, Wade, Nash, and Paul can all occupy a spot.

, there are four spots in the second team, Curry is favored to be selected into the third team together with Roy, and his main opponent is Joe Johnson of the Hawks.

For example, Love's "Most Improved Player" is not a big problem. Although Brooks's data has improved more significantly, it has also pulled the Rockets from the bottom of the Western Conference to the lottery champion position, but "advancing to the playoffs"

There is a huge difference between "not making the playoffs". In the 2021 season, Curry performed at an MVP level. However, due to the strength of the team, he was eliminated by the Grizzlies in the play-offs. What is left in the mouth of the anti-fans is "sophomore"

Did Morant single-handedly eliminate Curry?”

It may be more difficult to choose your own "Best Coach". After all, losing 0:4 to direct competitor D'Antoni in the regular season is too much. However, for a coach, this honor seems a bit "tasteless" to evaluate a famous coach.

The strength seems to be more determined by the championship, team building ability, whether there is a distinctive tactical play, and the record. Very few people use the best coach to brag.

In addition to helping players strive for honors, it is also necessary to practice some offensive tactics in actual combat on the court. The Knicks are not the Hawks. The personal abilities of the stars are there, and they can kill most opponents with the "three axes".

The team needs to stock up on a few more plans to prevent being at a loss when facing tough defenses in the playoffs.

On March 14, the Knicks narrowly defeated the Wizards 109-103 at home, avoiding a losing streak (40-27).

Facing the dilapidated Wizards, the Knicks had an extremely difficult time. Arenas was suspended, Jamison left the team, and Butler led the team alone, let go, and produced an all-around performance of 34 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.

, showing his own value.

The Wizards' "reconstruction" is different from that of other teams. The management believes that the team's failure this season is more due to the atmosphere caused by the "gun scandal" and the decline in strength caused by Arenas' suspension for a whole season.

If they can get a high draft pick, clear out some players on the team, and add Arenas' comeback, the Wizards still have strength that "can't be underestimated". In addition to waiting for the "draft lottery", the team

It is also asking Butler to produce good data so that he can sell it at a higher price in the summer.

The Wizards asked Butler to brush up data, and Ke Yan also arranged for Curry to take more shots. How to say, although it is a bit "inferior", the improvement of basic data will definitely help Curry strive for honors. Especially in New York, the powerful

The media will spare no effort to help Curry publicize!

Curry, who was assigned to "brush statistics", was very efficient in this game. He made 13 of 27 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 34 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

At this stage of the season, we have only achieved 40 wins. This is already the worst record since Ke Yan took charge. At the same time, this is also the season in which Ke Yan spent the most effort in his coaching career. Whether it is the number of transactions completed by the team or the role of Ke Yan in

The proliferation of gray hair this year is a reflection of his various efforts.

Keyan was just reborn without a system. Therefore, every achievement must be earned by his own comeback.

Fortunately, he only started to grow gray hair, and his hairline did not move back, nor did a vacuum appear in the middle of his scalp, which is a man’s nightmare!

...

On March 17, the Knicks visited Miami and defeated the Miami Heat 105:99, winning two consecutive games (41-27).

The rankings in the Eastern Conference are now relatively stable. The Cavaliers, Magic, Hawks, and Knicks are ranked in the top four, and the winning gap between them is more than 2 games. Behind them, the Heat and Celtics are ranked fifth and sixth, leading behind them.

There were more bobcats, bulls, raptors, and walkers, and they were not pulled into the quagmire.

Basically, the matchups in the first round of the playoffs are either "Hawks vs. Celtics, Knicks vs. Heat" or "Hawks vs. Heat, Knicks vs. Celtics."

If it were just a choice between the Celtics and the Heat, Ke Yan would prefer the Heat. On the playoff stage, the Heat are basically Wade's team alone, with Gibson at the point guard position and Gibson at the small forward position.

James Jones is a player with superb shooting skills and weak physical confrontation. Against Curry and Gallinari, they will be clean if they don't get beaten. If Wade switches to guard Curry, let alone what can be achieved.

The defensive effect is that he not only has to bear the pressure of the main attack, but also has to face Curry. Ke Yan doesn't think Wade can withstand a series.

The Celtics are different. Players such as Rondo, Tony Allen, Matt Barnes, and Perkins are relatively tough defensively. If they are determined to fight back against the Knicks, they will still cause some trouble for the Knicks.

From the Heat's perspective, they are more willing to compete with D'Antoni's Hawks than against the Knicks. Let's put it this way, Spoelstra is still a little wary of Ke Yan.

On March 19, the Knicks came to the north and lost 99:107 in an away game to the Raptors, who were trying to compete for a playoff spot (42-28).

The last time he visited Toronto as a guest, Bosh took Ke Yan and talked a lot after the game, telling the world that his heart belongs to the Knicks, which greatly affected the morale of the Raptors. Since then, the Raptors' performance has declined seriously.

They fell all the way to ninth place in the Eastern Conference. Every time they played a home game, the fans would boo Bosh crazily, making Bosh's home game even more uncomfortable than the away game.

Although some of his behavior off the court was unprofessional and even a bit "flattery", on the court, Bosh still showed his professionalism as much as possible. Facing Love, the Dragon King scored 31 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in two games.

The double performance showed that his immediate combat ability is much higher than that of Love.

In terms of player styles, Bosh and Love are both technical insiders, with excellent offensive skills in the face of the frame, relatively strong shooting ability, and good support ability. But there is definitely no way for the two to coexist. If Bosh wants to join the Knicks

, they must squeeze out Love.

In this game, Curry's performance was quite satisfactory. He made 9 of 19 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 23 points and 7 assists. However, Curry also regretted that the team lost, as Ke Yan was about to make his first coaching career.

With only 50 wins, Curry felt that as the "boss", he should take responsibility.

But Ke Yan, on the other hand, had done enough psychological construction and accepted by default that there was no way to win 50 games. Since the importance of this game itself was not that high, he did not feel like mourning after losing. He even went to a Chinese internet celebrity snack bar in Toronto with Huo Qingshu after the game.

Eat "Internet celebrity hot pot".

Compared with the United States, the Chinese market in Canada is larger and more receptive to Chinese things. To what extent has it reached this point? For example, Shaxian snacks and braised chicken and rice, which have become popular in China in recent years, may not have had time to be laid out yet.

There are already these stores in small counties along the 18th line, such as Vancouver and Toronto. And compared to 80% of Chinese restaurants in the United States, which are modified versions, with all dishes changed to sweet and sour, the dishes here in Canada are basically the same.

Be "authentic".

The taste is really authentic, Ke Yan was so spicy that he made him sweat profusely, and Huo Qingshu was so fragrant that he was dripping with sweat.

But the next day, some media broke the rumor that Ke Yan was secretly meeting a hot girl in Canada.

Don’t get me wrong, whether a “giant lolita” like Huo Qingshu can be considered a beauty is a matter of opinion, but the word “hot girl” has nothing to do with her. The person who broke the news with Ke Yan was a girl who took a photo with him in a restaurant that day. The girl is Chinese,

Her name is Grace Chan, her Chinese name is Chen Kailin. She is tall, good-looking, has three-dimensional facial features, and looks a bit mixed-race.

Compared with Huo Qingshu, Chen Kailin is obviously more in line with Ke Yan's "aesthetic". But the fact is that Ke Yan didn't even pay attention to who was taking a photo with him yesterday, let alone any intimate actions. The only intersection between the two people is that they are girls.

I came to take a photo with Ke Yan, but Ke Yan didn't refuse, and then raised his cup from a distance to signal him while eating.

However, when the girl posted the photo online, she accidentally made a big news. There was something wrong with the angle of the photo. Ke Yan turned around and took the photo with Chen Kailin while walking. To put it simply, they were facing each other. Chen Kailin held the phone in her left hand and pulled it.

At an angle, the photo looks like it was taken while leaning on Ke Yan's arms. In fact, the two people didn't even have physical contact. The distance between them could at least fit two fists.

Ke Yan has always given people the impression of being an "abstinent person", and he is usually not associated with more erotic scenes. However, when the paparazzi took a deep look at Chen Kailin, they discovered that she is worth a lot of money, and her parents are wealthy businessmen worth ten figures. This is why

It increases the credibility of the rumors. Even with Keyan's income, he will have to work for decades less!

Normally, Ke Yan wouldn't even bother to explain such rumors; but Wang Lifan was in her pregnancy, and she was most likely to have random thoughts at this time. So on the first day after the rumors broke out, Ke Yan explained the whole process to Wang Lifan.

He also contacted the hotel as the general manager of the Knicks and obtained the surveillance video of him returning to the hotel that night.

According to the hotel's surveillance video, Ke Yan returned to the room at 1:20 a.m.

The game between the Raptors and the Knicks ended around 11:30. Including the press conference, it was already past 12:00 when Ke Yan left the arena. After deducting the time spent traveling back and forth, the remaining time was at least 40 minutes.

...It’s too late for Liu Jingdong, right? What’s more, Ke Yan is younger and more powerful than Liu Jingdong.

Of course, according to Bao Zheng's method of "going with the flow and going against the flow" in the second part of "Young Bao Qingtian" to save time on the road when committing crimes, Ke Yan can also squeeze out some time if he squeezes hard, but...

Who would be so bored that they would have an affair and end up like in "Speed"?

After proving his innocence in front of Wang Lifan, Ke Yan later released the video through Xu Yi's channel, and obtained the information of the Raptors' home parking lot through the other party, determining the time when Ke Yan left the arena, and helped Ke Yan successfully "crack down on counterfeiting."

While Ke Yan was working hard to refute the rumors, the "mistress" Chen Kailin also contacted Ke Yan through some personal connections, sent some surveillance of the restaurant that day, and expressed her apology to Ke Yan.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that a photo would cause such a big disturbance. I really just...like the idol." Chen Kailin said.

Needless to say, this turmoil had a great impact on Ke Yan. After all, there is a saying that "spreading rumors only opens your mouth, and you will lose your legs if you refute them." Ke Yan's long-standing "abstinence" image was thus disillusioned; and Chen Kailin used this to gain fame.

, the number of followers on Twitter and Facebook quickly exceeded one million.

"Yeah." Ke Yan responded lightly, not at all as gentle as usual.

His own image comes second. The key is that Wang Lifan's mood has been affected. This is a big deal. Ke Yan can hold back his temper and is very well-educated.

"I have deleted the photo. If you still need any help, you can contact me and I will cooperate with you to continue to clarify." Chen Kailin said.

"I just hope this matter ends here. If I come into contact with you again, everything may turn into something serious. My wife is currently pregnant, and the most important thing to me is her and the child in my belly. So,

That’s all. I’ll take care of the rest! Thank you for your support,” Ke Yan emphasized.

"..." Chen Kailin felt a little aggrieved, feeling that she had offended Ke Yan by her unintentional mistake.

Ke Yan, who was always polite to girls, really avoided suspicion. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he said hello and hung up the phone immediately.

...

After the turmoil, Ke Yan "turned grief and anger into strength" and suddenly burst out with a strong passion for command. He transformed into a "micromanipulation master" on the court and constantly used dispatch to accurately target his opponents. With Ke Yan in this state, fans may only be interested in him.

I saw it when I was coaching the Lakers as the acting head coach.

Ke Yan, who was suddenly in full form, directed the Knicks to a 5-1 win, including a 109:106 upset against the Magic!

So far, the team's record has reached 47 wins and 29 losses. With 6 games left in the season, 50 wins are within easy reach. At the same time, the team's record has also tied with the Eagles. They only ranked second because they were at a disadvantage in the winning-loss relationship.

fourth.

As long as they win one more game, the Knicks will complete their counterattack and rise to third place in the Eastern Conference!
