the rest, only noise

Chapter 892

After Louis met with the players, he basically understood their physical condition.

Both Wilson and Ewing were on the Dream Team and practiced with some of the best players in the world all summer, which certainly helped them maintain their competitive form.

Louis was not worried about the two of them.

After Stockton was dropped from the Dream Team due to injury, half of the time was spent recuperating from the injury and the other half was used to resume training.

Both he and Bird belong to the kind of people who don't like the spotlight and like to hide themselves in the offseason, so the specific situation can only be confirmed when the match is played.

Reggie Miller/Williams is recovering well.

For other old players like Stevens, Rodman, and Sely, Louis basically has a grasp of their situation.

Sely's figure is obviously not as thick as others, which is the influence of vegetarianism.

Stevens will be 31 years old after the new year. As one of the souls of the team, his role cannot be fully reflected by his performance on the court.

Like Danny Ainge and Chris Jackson, these two people, one is a veteran in the contract year, and will basically retire after completing the existing contract, and the other is because of his fantastic sophomore season. His faith has become more devout, and he is determined to enter the arms of the Lord to welcome his third season.

The four new rookies: Yu Tiancan, Wang Mukong, Christie, and Matt Steinga are considered to be the key figures to continue the Knicks dynasty.

People believe that there are no eternal dynasties, but if the Knicks can replace the old and the new before the personnel age, it is possible to maximize the continuation of the team's heyday.

"We surpassed the Celtics in the 80s last season and became the first team to win five consecutive championships in the merger era." Louis said to the players, "We should not be satisfied with this. From now on, we will aim for six consecutive championships."

In terms of the quality of the speech, there is nothing amazing about these words of Louis.

It's not Louis' style to fight chicken blood from the beginning.

"After that, we will hold the annual Knicks draft."

Louie mainly introduces the rules to newcomers.

"You will split into two teams, one team will join Patrick's team and the other team will join Benj's team."

"It should be noted that you have no choice, only Patrick and Benj can decide who goes to their team."

Through finger-guessing, Wilson won the first-choice qualification.

In the 1992-93 season, the Knicks' No. [-] pick in the draft was Sean Kemp.

"Benj, Pinshaw is Patrick's true love, you're so beloved, right?"

Louie didn't expect that Rodman would not be Wilson's first choice.

Kemp is from Ewing, and everyone in the team knows this.Since his rookie season, he went to Georgetown University to train every summer.This year, Ewing went to the Dream Team, and Kemp still went to Georgetown to practice with Mutombo and Mourning.

Through Ewing's relationship, Kemp has been regarded as his own by the players from Georgetown University.

This kind of hardcore ally was snatched by Wilson?
"I just wanted a different style," Wilson said.

Then Louis saw Rodman's green head. He seemed to have told Wilson that green has the meaning of cheating in China.

Maybe it was Rodman's hairstyle that reminded him of his high school fatherhood, so he temporarily decided to let Kemp join his team?

Wilson can grab Kemp, and Ewing can also grab Rodman.

Ewing's second and third picks were Rodman and Stockton, respectively.

"Benj, I will fuck your team with Patrick!" Rodman was dissatisfied with Wilson's failure to use the "No. [-] pick" to select him.

Wilson's second and third picks are very pragmatic. First take Miller, and then take Yu Tiancan. In this way, except for the first position, they have players in the other four positions.

Ewing's fourth and fifth picks decisively selected Reggie Williams and Stevens.

Wilson's fifth and sixth picks were Chris Jackson and John Saley.

After that, the two sides selected Angie (Ewing) and Christie (Wilson) respectively. Except for the injured McHale, two rookies were not selected.

The team draft meeting in the preseason training camp every year is a good opportunity to understand the Knicks' internal relationships.

Except for Wilson intercepting Camp Hu this year, Ewing was forced to choose an unconventional pick like Rodman. For other choices, he basically chose players who are better than himself.

For Ewing, like Stevens, Stockton, and Williams, they are either old teammates or Georgetown juniors, and they are all buddies among buddies.

The same is true for Wilson's choice. Rodman and Sely, who have the best relationship with him in the team, are both students of the same grade.Miller is a senior at UCLA, Jackson is a freak that Louis values, and Yu Tiancan is Louis' latest "big baby".

Apart from Wilson's own buddies, the teammates he picked were basically Louie's "heart and soul".

From this point of view, he is a person who is very good at pleasing the head coach.

"In 10 minutes, the first intra-team match of the new season will be held."

"Please hurry up and prepare."

Since both teams had newcomers, Louis wanted to see what Christie and Yu Tiancan would do in the Knicks' high-intensity intra-team match, so he didn't rush to leave as usual.

"headmaster."

Wang Mukong came over to say a few words.

"Just call me coach here." Louie corrected.

"Okay, coach." Wang Mukong didn't go around in circles. As the "cradle tail" in this year's draft, he knows that it takes a lot of effort to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

As a team with an extremely deep lineup, the Knicks have much higher requirements for bench players than other teams.

How can I gain a foothold in New York?

"What do I have to do to be selected by them?" Wang Mukong also wanted to join the competition.

Louis smiled and said, "I don't have any suggestions for you. Let's see them finish a match first."

Since Wang Mukong played in D2, Louis did not watch his game video.

According to Zhao Yuanzheng's description, his style of play sounds like two famous CIC kings-Hamilton and Alan Houston.

However, even if he wants to become the bankrupt version of these two, Wang Mukong needs to make unimaginable efforts by ordinary people.

When the team match started, Wang Mukong began to correctly understand what Louis said.

Let's watch a match first.

He only watched for a few minutes, and felt that if he appeared in the game, he would be carried away by the team doctor within a few rounds.

From a physical point of view, it was simply too violent.

Who will use the intensity of the finals to play the intra-team match?
Moreover, the source of this intensity is clear.

It was Wilson and Ewing, whose sense of competition and antagonism caused the teammates around them to adopt extreme physical confrontation.

When Ewing squeezed away Yu Tiancan's body and dunked from under the basket, he spat out a trash talk: "Rookie, welcome to New York!"

"It's amazing, is this the No. [-] center forward?"

Yu Tiancan tried to flatter Ewing in exchange for his tenderness.

"Xiao Yu, don't think that if you say a few nice words, he will show mercy to you." Louis said cruelly, "That orangutan is not human." (Chinese)

As the No. [-] pick, Yu Tiancan has no cards in the Knicks.

Not to mention that both Wilson and Ewing are No. [-] picks, even if the other players are not high in the draft, most of them have heavy honors.

Parallel lotto is common. How many champions have rings on one hand?

So Yu Tiancan had no chance to attack with the ball. Fortunately, this is not what he is best at.

It took him four years at Wake Forest to become a versatile big man.

Thibodeau said that he is Schmitz who has weakened his offense and strengthened his body, but Louie doesn't agree.

He's more like a 10cm taller but less skilled Duncan.

Like Duncan, he's versatile enough.

But he is not the same as Duncan, he does not have the perfect basic skills like Duncan.

Although he has a rare mobility in his height of 2 meters, his physical coordination is average and he doesn't feel good about the ball. Therefore, even with technology, the feeling he makes is not smooth, just like a silicone breast, which is hard visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, the flaws on the offensive end will not affect his prospects.

He has top-notch pick-and-roll quality.

Chris Jackson twice used his body to screen outside ball-handling shots.

Yu Tiancan's pick-and-roll can hold the opponent steadily, even for an old fritter like Stockton, it is difficult to force his way through.

Moreover, Yu Tiancan is a regional coordinator.

What is a regional coordinator?That is, he has the coping ability, but the coping ability displayed in different positions is different.

In the high position above the free throw line, Yu Tiancan's coping ability is top in the league. He can pass hands to outside players, send balls to wing players who cut in from both wings, and has an unpredictable hook pass—sometimes it is a hook, sometimes it is a lob.

This kind of coping ability makes him have great development value in tactics.

However, if you go to the low position, or the high position on the left and right wings, Yu Tiancan's coping ability is not so conspicuous, it can only be regarded as an average level.

This is the characteristic he showed in the small half-court match. Later, due to the normal rotation, he was replaced by Sely, and the data he got was 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
