NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The old man is still alive, but the old man is still alive.

Chapter 210: Can’t afford to offend, can’t avoid

“Mr. Falk?”

“So you still remember me, an old man!”

“Uh, Mr. Falk, you know the playoffs are very tense.”

Wang Song looked at the caller ID and confirmed that it was the name of his agent. With the start of the playoffs, his agent was busy and hadn’t contacted him for a long time. He must have something to do with the sudden contact.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly changed his tone and laughed and scolded: “Come on, Wang, the Knicks are the easiest team in the entire NBA now. Look at the other semi-final teams, which one is not in dire straits.”

“Keep working hard, young man. As long as you can make it to the finals in your rookie season, you will be far better than MJ.”

Falk did not slack off because of Wang Song’s performance in the playoffs. The reason for not contacting Wang Song during this period was also very simple. There were too many business matters about this Asian big man.

This semi-retired agent even hired an assistant for Wang Song, a single player. It was not an easy task for him, a sixty-year-old man, to identify business information every day.

When Falk mentioned Jordan’s name, Wang Song was a little absent-minded.

Compared with Jordan’s first season playoff journey, the Knicks’ journey was perfect, but when it comes to talking about the commercial influence comparable to Jordan, Wang Song knows that reaching the finals in the first year is definitely not enough.

MJ’s influence at that time was not only his own ability, but also the league’s promotion of the NBA and the idea of ​​supporting MJ. It can be said that he had the right time, right place and right people.

If he wanted to surpass that guy in business and court influence, the gimmick of winning the championship in his first season could be the first shot.

The two continued to chat for a while, and when they were about to hang up the phone, Falk suddenly remembered “business”.

“By the way, Wang, I heard that you have another beautiful fan, hehe!”

The teasing of the sixty-year-old man made Wang Song stunned, but the other party quickly added: “Kim Kardashian asked me to ask you for a signed jersey and signed sneakers.”

Kim Kardashian?

When Wang Song heard this name, his brain was struck by lightning.

Didn’t the Kardashian family only start to emerge ten years later?

When Wang Song thought of Harden, Griffin, Odom and others who were targeted by the Kardashian family, his scalp tingled.

This feeling was something he had never experienced even when facing O’Neal!

Falk waited for a long time, but he didn’t expect to hear a faint voice from the other end of the phone: “Can you not sign, Falk?”

Wang Song’s answer was somewhat unexpected to Falk. Falk never thought that signing would be a problem.

“Signing is a small matter. She doesn’t have to give face to me by using my connections. It’s just that she can help with the promotion of the music circle. And… she said she will go to Madison Garden to watch the game next time.”

David Falk didn’t want to clean up the mess for Wang Song, who was constantly in love.

Although even the battle-hardened Falk had to admit that it was difficult to have a good reputation if he was involved with Kim Kardashian.

This woman just divorced not long ago.

Wang Song is even more popular in the NBA.

It’s hard to say who will take advantage of whose traffic!

On the other end of the phone, Wang Song was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: “Then let her report my name to the assistant coach at the next game!”

Since he didn’t know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, he still had to give the agent face, so Wang Song agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he turned on the TV.

He tuned into the live broadcast of the Lakers and Spurs Game 3, which was halfway through the game.

The Lakers, who were trailing 0:2, showed strong competitiveness in this game back at home. Amid the cheers of the Staples Center, the OK combination became more and more courageous.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the Lakers coach Zen Master had restricted Kobe.

In this game, Kobe really fell into the position of secondary attacker in the team. He did not ruin the game like the crazy iron shooting in the first two games. When O’Neal dominated the rhythm of the game, Popovich’s Spurs were also somewhat difficult to resist.

The Lakers had already taken a 10-point lead in the first half, which was something the Lakers dared not think of in the first two games.

Facts speak louder than words!

Under O’Neal’s leadership, Kobe’s sharp decline in shots had a huge impact on this Lakers team.

When the Milan blacksmith was no longer obsessed with iron shooting, his efficiency improved dramatically.

Wang Song watched the whole game. In 2004, when Kobe Bryant, No. 8, was the team’s secondary attacker, he was like a sharp blade that always hit the right spot.

And Shaquille O’Neal, this historical inside giant, still maintained his dominance despite the impact of injuries. When the game ended, Tim Duncan, the cornerstone of the Spurs, was only defended to a dismal 10 points.

O’Neal scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 8 blocks in the game, a near triple-double. If there is anyone in the league today who can compete with this guy, then this person must be from a novel.

In addition to OK’s performance, the Lakers’ luxurious All-Star team also made their own efforts. 10 of the 12 players on the roster scored to help the Lakers beat the Spurs 105:81, successfully defending their home court and tying the score to 1:2.

After watching the whole game, even Wang Song had to admire the famous coach’s ability to adjust.

Judging from the second half of the game alone, the Lakers made huge adjustments in this G3. Not only did Kobe’s shooting rights decrease, but the Zen Master directly started a magic battle with Popovich with a 12-man rotation.

While other playoff teams are sticking with their main players, the Spurs and Lakers games keep seeing new faces appearing on the court. This is not only a reflection of the coaching style of the two coaches, but also a kind of courage.

···

At the same time.

Madison Square Garden Tactical Meeting Room.

The Knicks coaching staff also held a meeting in the meeting room to watch the live broadcast of the Lakers vs. Spurs game. As the two teams with the most hope of winning the championship in the West, there are things worth digging into in terms of tactics and personnel deployment.

“Phil Jackson is such a lunatic!”

Herb Sendek couldn’t stop getting goose bumps until the final whistle sounded.

When trailing 0:2, they still dared to make drastic changes to the team’s strategy and personnel deployment. This kind of courage is enough to impress all the coaches in the league.

D’Antoni clapped his hands to interrupt the crowd’s exclamation, and said earnestly:

“See, guys? This is the strength of the top Western teams. How quickly they adjusted after losing two games in a row… But I don’t want to talk about the Lakers today.”

After that, D’Antoni pointed to the Detroit Pistons on the whiteboard.

“The Pistons are now leading the Pacers by a big score of 2:1. After being defeated at home, they completed a comeback. I watched the video of their first three games in the series. Compared with the unreachable Western enemies, I think… the Detroiters will be our biggest obstacle!”

If there were media present, they would be very surprised by this scene.

A team that is still in the semifinals of the division has already started talking about the opponents in the finals and the finals!
