Chapter 383 Destiny always favors those who are prepared (please subscribe, please support)

On May 19, the day after G4, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland with a 3:1 lead, and the Knicks also flew over that day.

They only have one and a half days of rest, and they will start the fifth matchup on the night of May 20th. In the eyes of many people, this will also be the last matchup of this series, and the Cavaliers will win cleanly at home.

Defeating the opponent, the gentleman swept the Knicks and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive year!

"Even Ke Yan is helpless in the face of the huge gap in strength. It is quite difficult to win a game." This is the inner monologue of many people. It is not a disapproval of him, but based on reality.

a judgment.

But competitive sports are certainly a competition of team strength, but the "team strength" in it is not just a comparison of the strength of the lineup on paper, but also many invisible factors.

At least, Keyan doesn't intend to admit defeat.

Especially when he still has a "trump card" in his hand and can "borrow the east wind"!

"Every game is a new beginning. Maybe we can pray that Lady Luck is on our side, but I hope you do it exactly. In this way, when luck comes, we are ready!"

"Now is not the time to think about whether we can win, but the time for us to think about what else we can bring to the fans with our own hands!"

"We can lose, but we can't be defeated!"

"Despair is a sin! Fight until you die!"

Compared with chicken soup masters like Rivers, Keyan's skills are not that good in this area. But he reads a lot on weekdays. If he can't say those sentences, he quotes classics and uses Hai Mingwei's famous sayings for his own use. The last time

Get excited, come and play a game with the Cavaliers!

Generally speaking, the boss of a team can temper the "character" of the team. As the "Messi" hand-picked by Ke Yan, Curry has a toughness in his bones that is inconsistent with his appearance!

During the game, his unremitting efforts infected his teammates! Gallinari, Holiday, DeAndre Jordan, the Knicks, who were fighting against the odds, burst out with amazing energy!

On the other hand, the Cavaliers revealed huge problems during the game. Arrogant? Absent-minded? Low morale? No one knows what is wrong with the Cavaliers.

You can see all kinds of problems in this Cavaliers team, but you can't see a team that wants to win!

"According to sources, James' mother was having an affair with Delonte West." At the end of the game, the Knicks were already 16 points ahead and were sure of victory. Only then did Hornacek come over and tell Ke Yan the information he had just collected.

!

"Friend Mom Gate?" Ke Yan was "overjoyed". The off-site incident that he had included in the game plan finally broke out!

"..." Hornacek looked slightly embarrassed, but then nodded, "It's okay to summarize it this way."

"It's not difficult to explain. James was a little absent-minded in this game!" Han Bron said with a "sneaky smile" on his lips, as if he saw hope of a comeback.

It may not be that James himself is subjectively absent-minded, but if the matter is true, no one can be unaffected. After all, it concerns his closest family members.

When Ke Yan's wife gave birth to a child, his concentration was also greatly affected, but he didn't use this as an excuse.

Seeing that there was no hope of victory, Mike Brown replaced the main players in advance. The Knicks, who were still lagging behind in the total score, had no intention of "beating up the lost dog", and the last few minutes passed quickly and tepidly.

In the end, the Knicks defeated the Cavaliers 112:98, bringing the total score to 2:3.

"This is a night worth remembering for your entire career! The most memorable day in a person's life is not the moment of success, but the moment when the desire to challenge arises from lamentation and despair, and the day when one bravely steps towards this challenge.

One day! I’m so happy that you were able to do all this.” In the locker room after the game, Ke Yan hugged all the players on the team one by one.

James' off-court accident is certainly the key to victory or defeat; but no matter what, the prerequisite for winning is that the Knicks players themselves do not give up! If they have already decided on this season on a psychological level, then no matter what happens at this moment

, this season is over!

"Fight back, starting now!"

………

The Knicks could win Game 5 at Quicken Loans Center and continue this season. Not only the fans did not expect it, but even Knicks owner Dolan himself did not expect it.

Ironically, it was not until the next day that the Knicks officially reopened the team's ticket sales channels to sell G6 game tickets.

However, compared to the jokes made by the Knicks, the rumors surrounding James, West, and Gloria are more favorite topics of conversation for fans after dinner.

There is no need for the Knicks to use their own media resources to "fuel the flames." The impact of the matter has fermented to an incredible level. Almost everyone who follows basketball is discussing this matter.

After all, that's James!

Ke Yan was quite "kind" and didn't take any action to cause trouble. If he was like Deyun Club who "explained" the blindfold scandal, making up dozens of pornographic jokes and explaining them in dozens of chapters, then James' mentality would really explode.

The "youmom scandal" intensified, and West, one of the parties involved, stood up the next day and refuted the rumors on social platforms, denying that the incident had happened.

But it basically doesn't help.

Just like not long ago, it was revealed that Ke Yan had a "private meeting" with Bai Fumei in Toronto. Although a series of evidence was later produced to prove his innocence, everyone still subconsciously labeled him as "cheating". At least, Ke Yan's public image has also

Not as good as before.

James himself remained tight-lipped about the incident, but judging from his mood, it was visibly affected.

Ke Yan was "secretly happy" and saw hope of a comeback.

One day later, the G6 game took place as scheduled in Madison.

Before the game, security personnel confiscated a large number of signs brought into the stadium by fans, which were full of slogans mocking "Friend Mom Gate". Jimmy White didn't even let Ke Yan cause trouble, so how could he let the fans destroy the relationship between the team and James?

What a relationship!

"Another dead eunuch!" After learning about this, Ke Yan imitated Zhou Xingxing's tone and complained.

In Ke Yan's view, Jimmy White's pursuit of James has gone beyond the level of "pursuit" and has reached the level of "dog-licking", which is disgraceful.

The fans at the fucking Quicken Loans Center were not polite when they cursed their own families!

However, Jimmy White underestimated the wisdom of the fans. As long as the thinking does not slip, there are always more methods than difficulties! Some fans wrote slogans on their clothes, some fans put on West's masks, and even some fans took advantage of James' free throws.

Shout out "Gloria's" name...

All kinds of strange tricks crazily stimulated James's already not very tenacious nerves! Under the heavy pressure, James once again performed abnormally in this game. He made 9 of 25 shots and 12 of 16 free throws. Although he also scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 6

Gorgeous assist statistics, but the efficiency is not even a little bit lower than usual!

On the other hand, within the Knicks, on the surface, everyone was tacitly aware of what happened to James, but in fact, they all saw hope of a comeback, and their morale was boosted. With the support of the home fans, the team played with high morale.

Successfully defended the home court and dragged the game into a tiebreaker!

"Being able to catch up to 3:3 after falling behind 1:3, the players have put in a huge effort. There is no doubt that the momentum is with us now. As long as we persist, we can complete the reversal. I firmly believe that we will not

suspect!"

"Do you think LeBron's performance in the past two seasons has been substandard?" Soon, a reporter asked Ke Yan a pointed question.

The original intention of this question was to question the value of the Knicks' victory. It was more or less a "win without force", but it just handed Ke Yan a knife.

"Why can't we do a good job of defending James?" Ke Yan asked, "I believe LeBron is a very professional player. In the past two games, he is still doing his best for his team. It's just that he is doing his best for his team.

We also put a lot of thought into our defensive work against him, which is the key to our two consecutive wins."

The "Friend Mom Gate" matter is as taboo as the "Youngjun Incident". No one can mention it unless the person involved admits it. The connotation of Ke Yan's wave is really "helping to clarify openly, but secretly questioning James' ability", making the other party

There is nothing to talk about at either end.

Ke Yan was eating James' melon, but as soon as the press conference ended, he was told by the staff around him: "Never entered the delivery room!"

"Congratulations! Kimi!" As Ke Yan's oldest friend, Han Bron congratulated Ke Yan immediately.

"My daughter is about to be born, and I am going to be a father..." At this moment, Ke Yan only had this thought in his mind, and the little girl who called him "Dad" in his dream.

For safety reasons, Han Bron didn't even let Ke Yan drive. He took Ke Yan to the hospital in person, and made a lot of remarks about pregnant women on the way. He completely forgot that Wang Lifan was a doctor!

A large group of people have gathered at the door of the operating room, including Wang Zhenyao walking around, Zhou Yun nervously wiping tears, and Yuan Yue closing her eyes and praying...

Ke Yan slowly approached the operating room. He knew that his daughter was inside, and he felt very complicated.

"Creak~"

At this time, a nurse came out of the delivery room. She was probably going to get something, but the people waiting at the door quickly surrounded her.

The nurse is very familiar with this scene. Facing the worried and longing eyes of the family members, she also knows what they miss most.

"Mr. Ke, uncles and aunts." The nurse said politely and considerately: "Please rest assured that because of the meticulous care during pregnancy, Dr. Wang is in very good health. Our director and deputy director are both experienced obstetricians and gynecologists.

I suggest that uncle and auntie go and take a rest first, so that you can see your little princess when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"Huh..." This news was like a tranquilizer, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there is no number one coach in the NBA, no director of cardiothoracic and pulmonary surgery at Atlanta Hospital, and no former director of the Sioux City Sports Bureau office... Now everyone just wants Wang Lifan and Ke Ailin to be safe.

However, the nurse suggested that everyone go to rest first, but it was impossible for them to listen. It was just very difficult to wait. At first, several men were walking back and forth to relieve their worries. Later, the two old men had lost their strength, and only Ke Yan could still stand.

Zhou Yun and Yuan Yue both pursed their lips and stared at the door of the delivery room for a moment. As soon as the door was opened, they immediately rushed to ask, although the reply they received every time was "Don't worry, Auntie, Dr. Wang is doing well."

”.

Time passed slowly, and the sky became brighter unconsciously. Ke Yan looked at the time, and it was almost four o'clock.

Wang Lifan entered the delivery room after twelve o'clock. Although Zhou Yun and Yuan Yue both said that it is very common to give birth to a baby within a few hours, but Ke Yan was still inevitably anxious. Many bloody plots that only appeared on TV pictures were filled with him.

's brain.

Just when Ke Yan had walked an unknown number of steps, the delivery room was pushed open again with a creak, and everyone stood up with a clatter.

Because this time it was not only the nurse who came out, but also the chief professor of obstetrics. The most important thing was that she was holding a transparent basket in her hand, and in the basket was Ke Ailin.

"Wow~wow~wow..."

The loud crying of the baby, accompanied by bursts of rising sun through the window, made Ke Yan feel that the world had become beautiful.

"Coach Ke, you are so lucky to have a daughter."

"Never?" Although Ke Yan's mouth was dry with excitement, at this critical moment, what he cared about most was his wife.

The professor handed the basket to Keyan and said, "Mother and daughter are safe. You can go in and see Dr. Wang. After a while, please send the child to the observation room. We will observe her for 12 hours before handing her over to her family."

Everyone walked into the delivery room softly. Wang Lifan lay quietly on the bed. She must have heard what was said at the door.

Zhou Yun felt sorry for her daughter. She took the lead in sitting by the bed and holding Wang Lifan's hand. Tears fell down her cheeks: "It's really hard work."

"It's not hard work." Wang Lifan's tone was a little weak, but he kept staring at Ke Ailin in Ke Yan's arms.

Keyan took a few steps forward and gently placed the basket on the bed.

Wang Lifan's eyes could no longer be separated. She reached in and touched the package on her daughter's body, and her tired face regained its energy.

...

The news that Wang Lifan gave birth is a good thing for Ke Yan, but for the Knicks' playoff journey, it is unclear whether it is a benefit or a disadvantage. After all, according to American law, in this case, Ke Yan definitely has a reason to take leave.

The decisive battle of G7.

If it was really eliminated in the G5 or G6 games, fans would also feel that this was a successful season. But after the "Friend Mom" ​​incident broke out and the team could see the hope of winning, everyone was unwilling to accept G7.

"Non-combat attrition".

The same goes for team owner Dolan. Reaching the Eastern Conference finals means that the team can earn at least two high-priced tickets for two games, two games' broadcast fees and higher advertising fees. This is a lot of money.

Therefore, Dolan personally called Ke Yan to congratulate him and also learned about the specific situation. In the end, he was unable to tell Ke Yan to go to Cleveland.

Ke Yan knew Dolan's thoughts very well. He felt disgusted in his heart, but he still dialed Snyder's number: "Quinn."

"Tonight, I will not go to the airport to go to Cleveland with you. You will lead the team in the training tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon, I will rush to Cleveland and try to participate in the evening game."
