NBA super point guard

Billups' injury has affected his state, and the Knicks are in urgent need of a No. [-] position.

Anthony is very capable of holding the ball, but his ability to lead the team has not been proven, but Li Muhua is different, he can organize the team and partner with superstars.

Not occupying the ball is a scarce talent in the eyes of many teams, and Li Muhua's playing style at the second position during the finals was also impressive.

New York made an attitude, anyway, we want to sign you and try our best to meet your requirements.

But we must have a good relationship with Anthony.

Li Muhua is well aware of the importance of the boss of the team, and the face must be given to Anthony, which has nothing to do with the possession of the ball. This is the bottom line of the Knicks. In a restaurant, Li Muhua and Anthony are seated separately.

Li Muhua met D'Antoni before, and felt that the German coach didn't seem to have a strong impression of him, so he couldn't help asking: "Cameron, Coach Mike doesn't seem to like me very much?"

Anthony looked unhappy.

"He is like that. He told me about offense or offense. I asked him about defense. He couldn't offer any constructive suggestions and asked me to give up part of the ball!"

Anthony seemed to think it was a bit too much, and immediately went on to say: "I don't care about others, but you are different. I will cooperate with you how you want to play. Obviously, Mike wants other players to enjoy the ball!"

Li Muhua was quite speechless. Before the game started, the boss had a disagreement with the coach.

Anthony has a stubborn temper.

It belongs to the type of holding and boasting, that is, to eat soft but not hard, and D'Antoni's temper is also a bit bad. The two of them together are like sparks hitting the earth. It is not difficult to imagine that the Knicks will definitely have to fight because of internal problems in the future. Not happy.

"Cameron, he is the head coach after all, we might as well listen to his style of play and get used to it for a while!"

Li Muhua opened his mouth to persuade, Anthony might not listen to others, but through Changxi's relationship, Anthony really regarded Li Muhua as a friend, so he nodded silently.

After reaching an agreement with Anthony, Li Muhua went to the team office.

Li Muhua was received by the current general manager Grunwald. Although Donny Walsh had resigned in the eyes of outsiders, James Dolan did not let him go. Instead, he let Donny lead Grunwald, so Li Muhua Downey's contracts are basically negotiated.

Grunwald, a blond and shaggy-looking man, made no secret of his elation when talking about the team:

"I've talked to Mr. Downey about this. You know, he has more experience than me in basketball. He knows what the players brought in are going to do!"

"Believe me, you are the core point guard of the Knicks in the new season!"

Grunwald has worked as an assistant for the Smiling Assassin and Downey, and he is very good at managing the team, but in terms of tactics, he feels that D'Antoni has more say.

After communicating with the team management, Li Muhua and Andrew decided on the details of the contract.

On December 12, the Knicks official website directly announced the signing of Li Muhua, and announced to the outside world that after friendly negotiations, Li Muhua will sign with the Knicks for four years.

In the general manager's office, Li Muhua solemnly signed the contract.

A contract of 8000 million for four years, with a starting salary of 1450 million in the first year.

This is a sub-max contract.

The major media outlets in New York reported the incident one after another.

New York Times:

"This is the beginning of the rise of the Knicks. With Anthony and LI, I don't know why we are at the bottom. Our lineup for the new season is very strong. I believe the game will be very exciting!"

"We used to think that having a top point guard was just a dream, but now it seems that everything is so dreamy. We have three All-Star players, and New York is no longer a weak team!"

"Anthony is our offensive guarantee, and LI is the core of our team building!"

The media in New York reported heavily, for fear that others would not know that the Knicks in the new season are very strong.

The Big Apple City has been rotten for many years, and now it is suddenly excited, which makes other cities look down on them, thinking that the nouveau riche are a little scum.

Miami Herald:

"A disappointing signing. The Heat have the best players in the league. It's just a dream for the Knicks to break out in the East!"

"After Ewing, the Knicks have been hovering at the bottom of the league. They have been rebuilding. Many players in the league are rushing for dollars. No one cares about the Knicks' record. And Anthony and LI The power issue has never been resolved, and I really don’t see any conditions for them to coexist!”

"Introducing Stoudemire, Anthony, LI, I have to say that this choice is great, but it is definitely not as good as the Heat. When the players want to win, they can go beyond the limit of money. They should be honored and fight!"

Miami is typically a bit of a sour grape.

When the league opened the trading period, Spoelstra also called Li Muhua and talked about joining, but it was nonsense. 1000 million a year wanted people to cut their salaries and form a team to win the championship. To make room, Li Muhua directly refused.

Not to mention the salary is a joke, and the league will definitely not agree.

The league opened training camp on Dec. 12.

After signing the contract, Li Muhua found a residence in Manhattan's 27th Street, not far from Madison Square Garden.

Compared to taking the subway, Li Muhua still thinks it is better to walk, as he can reach the arena in less than half an hour.

After finishing a series of personal matters, Li Muhua also returned to the training ground.

The past few months have not stopped, Li Muhua knows the importance of persistence, and dare not relax in the slightest.

As soon as he entered the arena, Li Muhua greeted people he knew well. Among them, Stoudemire's stomach looked slightly bulging.

"Amalei, if you are in this state, the coach will dislike your belly!" Li Muhua immediately joked when he saw Stoudemire.

"He already told me!"

Stoudemire's complexion was not good, and he looked very angry: "Coach Mike has already trained me before you came. This off-season is too long. You know, I think he is a little impatient!"

Jeffries also nodded aside:
"He always does!"

As a veteran player of the Knicks, Jeffries had some right to speak, but his voice was not loud, and he quietly glanced around after speaking.

Obviously talking about people behind their backs, and they are afraid of being discovered.

Jeffries is a soft guy, and almost everyone in the Knicks team knows it. Except for the Knicks, who are taking advantage of it, there is really no team in the league that wants him.

Because Jeffries is a three-no person.

Playing a center has no strength, playing a power forward can't handle it, and playing a small forward has no skills.
