Madison Garden is a basketball mecca, a place many players make a pilgrimage to.
New York is the economic and cultural center of the United States, and the arena is uniquely located in the center of Manhattan, the most prosperous part of New York.
Since Jeff Van Gundy led the Knicks to be eliminated in the first round in the 2000-01 season, the Knicks have lost their playoff spot. They no longer have the momentum of the iron-blooded New York gang in the 1990s. Coach Don Cheney is considered to be unable to fully control the locker room.
New York fans are the most impatient fans in the world, and the New York media is an accomplice: they are like parents who don’t know how to teach their children. Once their children do not perform well, they do not patiently enlighten and encourage them, but instead sneer and humiliate them. Sexual stimulation excites children.
The Knicks showed a desperate attitude.
Alan Houston, who received a 100 million yuan contract, became a bomb in the team's locker room. Another outside core, Sprewell, was resentful about this contract, and the team was suffering from serious internal friction. Alan Houston is a glass man again... In short, the Knicks are now trapped in a vicious cycle.
So, the media focuses on college basketball in New York State.
Syracuse University's surge this year has been widely reported by the media, and NCAA fans are more loyal than NBA fans.
As Syracuse reaches the Sweet Sixteen, it takes the Final Eight back to Madison Garden Arena. Basketball fans across New York State are excited.
Many media have focused their praise on Syracuse University players. They play the role of 'bad parents' and use long and lengthy reports on Syracuse University to stimulate the Knicks, just like using 'other people's children' to suppress their own children.
When Soucy was training at Madison Square Garden, Carmelo Anthony was being interviewed by the media, and a group of media aimed at him.
This is a big scene that Su Xi has never seen before.
The New York media highly praised Carmelo Anthony. They described Anthony as an omnipotent super genius and hoped that he would join the Knicks to play the role of savior.
Su Xi started training on the other side.
He is still training his combination of man and ball to break through, and his 'super flexibility talent' has improved to an upper-middle level, which gives him greater control over his skills.
Su Xi practiced for half an hour, and he sat on the sidelines to rest.
Carmelo Anthony, who was still being interviewed there, suddenly hooked his hand: "Hey, Jack. Everyone wants to chat with you."
Su Xi waved her hand and refused.
Cameron ran over and pulled him over.
"This is Susie the Lamb, the starting point guard of our team. Since entering the national competition, he has been the most important engine of the team. He performed extremely well in the past two knockout games. I think he will soon become an NBA player. players."
Carmelo Anthony builds publicity for Susie.
The media is also very curious about Su Xi. Su Xi has been outstanding in the past two games and he played an important role in both games. Although the data is not as eye-catching as Carmelo Anthony and Hakeem.
"Jack, what do you think of tonight's opponent? What do you think is our probability of entering the quarterfinals?" a reporter from "Slam Dunk" asked the first question.
"It's difficult to evaluate them before they play against each other. But our probability of entering the quarterfinals is 100%," Su Xi said.
"Why are you so confident? Auburn University eliminated the No. 2 seed Wake Forest University in the last game." The reporter emphasized: "We are only the No. 3 seed."
Suhi said: "Because I have a way to limit their three cores, Cameron can score without restriction."
Su Xi calmly said the most arrogant words.
He gives people an unprecedented sense of sincerity and lawless strength.
This feeling is like your father smoking a cigarette and untying his seven wolves, calmly shouting your name: Come, I want to talk to you.
Although you knew you were going to be beaten, you couldn't resist.
The New York reporter's first real experience came from Susie the Sheep's little shock.
Some reporters even stared at Su Xi in disbelief. Carmelo Anthony next to him was calm, he was used to it. This is Su Xi's usual way of communication. "You better believe him."
"What methods will you use to restrict them?" the reporter asked again.
"Just watch the game. I hope they bring excitement to me. I really want to improve." Su Xi still spoke sincerely.
Then, the reporter asked about the NBA. The reporter asked Su Xi: "Cameron said that you will enter the NBA soon. Do you think you have a good chance? Before the start of the National Top 64 Championship, your reputation was very small. Do you think your performance in the last two games can impress the NBA?" The team? Are you ready to declare for the draft?"
"I don't care about these issues now." Su Xi answered the reporter's question seriously: "My grandfather told me when I was very young that sharpening the knife will not stop the woodcutter. Now I need to sharpen my wood knife. "
"Is the NCAA competition a sharpening tool for you?" the reporter asked again.
"Some are, some are not." Su Xi replied.
"Which ones aren't?"
"Not answering the question," Suhi said, "will embarrass some teams."
Su Xi's interview was unique. The reporters all wanted to continue the interview because Su Xi brought them a new experience. Su Xi was sincere, but there was also arrogance in her sincerity. The media likes to report on players with this kind of personality and characteristics, which can bring higher attention.
Suhi's previous interviews on American cable TV and CBS have made him a popular NCAA player among reporters. If he enters the NBA in the future, he will definitely be favored by more media. NBA media likes to cause trouble more than college media.
Coach Jim called Su Xi and Anthony over to practice tactics.
"Slam Dunk" magazine ran over and asked Jim a question: "Coach Jim, do you think Jack has a chance to go to the NBA after this season? Cameron said Jack will soon become an NBA player."
Coach Jim was stunned.
NBA? Jack?
He had never thought about Jack going to the NBA, even though there were rumors in the past two days that Kobe Bryant and Su Xi were close friends and seemed to want to recruit Jack to the Lakers.
But he believes that the possibility is slim. It is impossible for a championship team like the Lakers to spend a signing quota on a rookie. Championship teams pay attention to stability. Even if they want to strengthen, they will not go through the draft. Moreover, Su Xi has not really proven himself in the NCAA.
"As far as I know, he has no plans to go to the NBA. He will always stay with the Orange." Jim Bonham answered reporters.
Then, he walked over and directed the players to conduct a full-field drill.
He frowned, looking worried. He doesn't want Susie to participate in the draft, he doesn't want McNabala to participate in the draft, and he doesn't want Hakeem to participate in the draft... As a college head coach, he hopes that the more good cards he has in his hands, the better.
It's about his grades, it's about his fame, it's about his salary.
If it weren't for the fact that Carmelo's talent was so outstanding that he couldn't suppress it at all, he wouldn't want Anthony to go to the draft. It would be better to play for four years like Duncan.
During the past period, he has not stopped talking to Anthony, hoping that Anthony will play in the NCAA for one more year.
However, Carmelo Anthony has plans of his own. He doesn't want to lose one year to make money. With his draft price, he will lose millions of dollars by playing in the NBA for one more year. Moreover...the NBA values potential most. If you play for one more year, the draft price may not necessarily rise, but will most likely decline...Many examples in the past have illustrated this point.
This is an irreconcilable disagreement between many college teams and their superstar players.
Therefore, when many super players are recruited, they will clearly state that they will only play for one year and will leave at any time.
College basketball can't keep those super talents who are 100% good in the draft.
However, they have many ways to deal with players like McNabara and Hakeem who are neither good nor bad, between undrafted and elected.
As for Su Xi, there are more.
