Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 669 Ranked No. [-], a new season full of doubts

If it weren't for Dolan's command, the Knicks' media helped the team, and from time to time revealed some photos of the team's players' hard training. It is estimated that the Knicks, before the start of the new season, would be drowned in the fans' saliva.

"There should be hope to make the playoffs, they have all trained so hard." The Knicks fan said.

"Who knows, ESPN rankings, the Knicks are still a lottery team this year!"

Another chubby white fan said that he likes the Knicks, but the team has been unable to make the playoffs, and his confidence has begun to waver.

"No, I believe in Lee. He can definitely lead the team to the playoffs. Has ESPN's prediction been accurate?"

A yellow-skinned child clenched his fists and said that he has always been a fan of Li Tian. Even in the past few seasons, he still wore the No. 0 jersey of the Lakers at the home court of the Knicks.

Now he can finally be at the Knicks home court, cheering for his favorite players, and he is still with the fans.

"Just play a few games and I believe in them."

******
After the announcement of the team rankings, the Knicks' several role players were fine and did not say anything. They have long been used to this feeling, and all their actions in New York will be exposed to the media.

Especially Douglas, he became a salty fish and didn't react at all. He thought it was right, because he didn't think that the Knicks had the ability to make the playoffs. Basketball is not a one-person basketball.

"Get out, dare to say that I am old, he should be grateful, he is a commentator, not a player, otherwise I have to blow him up." O'Neill is never concerned about rankings, he is concerned about Jackson saying that he is old, for this At one point, he was about to explode.

"Shaq, they said we can't make the playoffs. You should care about this, not that you are old." McGrady was speechless. Why is this fat man's focus so weird? No wonder Kobe Bryant Said, Shaq did too.

"He is provoking me. I will definitely play good numbers. Li, give me more assists, and you will definitely gain points."

O'Neill is so self-confident. Even though he is now fat and nearly [-] years old, he is still so confident.

"Well, don't worry about it, ESPN is here to make a joke. Their predictions have never been right. We will definitely make the playoffs."

Li Tian said with a smile, if Sun Yue was here, seeing his smile like this, he would definitely feel scared, because he knew that this was a sign that he was about to get ruthless.

"No problem. I will definitely help the team reach the playoffs. Remember to buy me some hamburgers when the time comes. I want a lot of hamburgers." Although O'Neill has strengthened his training, he still hasn't lost his foodie nature.

"No problem, I will definitely buy you a hamburger that you can't finish all day, so that you can enjoy it to your heart's content."

Patted O'Neill's stomach and said.

"Okay, damn fat, you can buy me some more when I retire." O'Neill still gave up the hamburger, and waited until after retirement to talk about everything.

"We must prove ourselves, and we must not be underestimated by them. Next, I will practice more. I wonder if you will practice more?" George said in front of Stephenson and Jeremy Lin.

He also knew that Turiaf and the others had already been consumed by the alliance and had already accepted the reality.

"I'm one of them, but it's best to talk to Li. He said that training must be scientific." Stephenson stood up to support George's decision, and he also hoped that he could become stronger.

After he saw Li Tian's salary, he was not ordinary envy. In the fourth season of his career, the salary was so high, close to 2000 million. He might not be able to earn so much money in his whole life.

"I have no opinion either. I will communicate with Li and ask his opinion." Jeremy Lin also joined the extra training team.

"Okay, now I announce that the Knicks training team is officially established." George shouted.

After everyone left, the three came to Li Tian's side.

"Lee, can you stop for a moment?" George said. The three of them had a strict hierarchy, first-round pick, second-round pick, and undrafted pick.

"George, what's the matter, what are the three of you?" Seeing the three of them together, he was also very curious. When did the rookies get together like this? Well, he had never seen a rookie in the Lakers, only Sun Yue was alone. People, there is no way to hold a group.

"We want to practice more, but we don't have a separate trainer, so..." George said their intentions.

"No problem, you can practice more, but you must maintain good physical fitness. The most important thing is to communicate with the team doctor and don't overload your training. I don't want you to overdraw your body like Arenas, causing frequent There are injuries, it's not worth it.

This season, the goals of the three of you are clear, and you should grow up as soon as possible. I will communicate with the head coach and give you enough time to appear on the field. Then you must perform well. I hope you can bring the team to the next season. support.

George, play well, this season you will become the team's sixth man, and even enter the starting lineup. "

After a few words of explanation, the four of them started training. For this matter, he specially found the management and found a trainer for the three of them to train them specifically.

The turmoil of the team's ranking has not yet passed. The fans of the Knicks have become more and more suspicious of Li Tian, ​​and another explosive news has come out.

ESPN released the player strength rankings again, and the rankings from tenth to first were announced the day before the start of the regular season!
Ranked tenth is - Li Tian!
Seeing this ranking, the fans are going crazy. This is last season's regular season MVP and finals MVP player. In just the past season, his ranking has become tenth.Last season's No.1 dropped from No. [-] to No. [-] in just one offseason, and there are no players who have suffered any injuries.

"Last season's regular season MVP, this season's [-]th, I don't know if it's ESPN's April Fool's Day, or what happened?"

Behind the flashback rankings are Stoudemire, Dwyane Wade, Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Rose, Howard.

Ranked second is - Kobe;
The number one is - James.

Seeing such a ranking, Durant immediately stood up and expressed his support for ESPN's decision.

"Without Kobe's MVP, it's not even worthy of tenth." Durant wrote on social media.

He obviously forgot that in the World Championships, he was almost zero-blocked by the opponent in the half game. After seeing the ESPN rankings, he felt that he could be the master and man again.

Seeing the ESPN rankings, many stars who are close to Li Tian stepped up and bombarded ESPN.

"I think ESPN should withdraw from the field of basketball as soon as possible. I don't know what they are thinking about. Lee is ranked tenth. I don't think the top 9 players have won him in any way." Jordan stood up immediately. Come out, support Li Tian, ​​and complain for him.

"Is there any reference for the ranking given by a group of people without brains?" O'Neill is not used to ESPN, he has been training with Li Tian, ​​and he knows how strong the guy in front of him is.

In this way, the new season has not yet started, and ESPN has heated up the enthusiasm for the new season.

More still, the Knicks and Li Tian were used as background boards to stir up the topic. Of course, the effect was very good, attracting the attention of the entire league.

"Damn it, these guys originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now the attention is so high."

Li Tian originally thought that this season they can develop well and start to stabilize the rhythm of not making waves. After the rookies grow up next season, they can reap a wave.

There is no way, Yao Ming has not been traded this season. If the deal is completed, he doesn't mind shouting "Knicks championship" now.

"Forget it, don't pay attention to these things. It's not the first time. I've been questioned since last season. At the end of this season, I think they will shut up obediently."

I'm not angry because of this, the strength is just playing out one game at a time.

On the first day of the regular season, the Knicks flew to Toronto for their first regular-season game.

I originally wanted to watch the Lakers' championship flag raising ceremony this season, and was dragged to training by the annoying fat man.

At the end of the training, I took a cursory look at it, and it was still so domineering. I have to feel that a rich family is a rich family. Even if so many championship rings have been issued, they can always play new tricks.

In the first game of the new season, the Knicks challenged the Toronto Raptors away. After losing their star Bosh in the offseason, the Raptors also entered a weak period.

The only players who can do it well are DeRozan, who is called the "trash brother" by later generations, Bargnani, the former champion, and Barbosa, the "Brazilian Lightning" on the bench. The other players are all roles. players.

For pre-match interviews, usually in Toronto, there are not many reporters, but because of the recent ESPN rankings, the Knicks instantly became the focus team, second only to the Heat and the Lakers.

They all wanted to know how Li Tian would react to ESPN's ranking.

Last season's MVP, only ranked tenth this season, just signed a contract with an annual salary of more than 2000, and the team's strength rankings failed to even make the playoffs. This is a great shame. I don't know how Li Tian will feel. They We are all looking forward to it.

"Li, I don't know if you have read the team strength rankings and player strength rankings announced by ESPN?"

The reporter's first question was very sharp. These are definitely not reporters under Dolan's banner. If they are, then it's only now, and he may be fired directly in two days.

"The ESPN rankings, I don't know what their basis is, I just take it as a joke. In my memory, their rankings have never been correct.

Think of this ranking as an entertainment before the start of the new season, don't take it too seriously, just look at it, if you are serious, you will lose. "

Li Tian said with a smile.

"Li, can you answer directly, what is the goal of the Knicks this season?" The reporter chased after him even more, thinking that if he didn't answer directly, it was because of his guilty conscience that he admitted that he was not good enough.

"The Knicks have only one goal, and that is the championship. We will not set other goals as the team's goals for the season. Please wait and see."

Seeing Li Tian talking so eloquently, the reporter obviously didn't react.

"No, no, the championship is the goal of every team. Can the Knicks make it to the playoffs this year?" The reporter obviously didn't intend to miss such a good opportunity, and planned to chase it to the end.

"I can definitely make the playoffs, and every season as long as I am in the Knicks, I will make the playoffs!"

It's just so domineering, it's just so confident.

"Li, you are only tenth in the list of players' strength. What do you think about this?" The reporter probably wants to earn his year's money for one day today.

"I just want to say to them, huh, hopefully they'll say that again at the end of the season."

After answering the questions, without waiting for the reporter to ask any more questions, he began to prepare for the competition.

"Okay, don't watch it, the Raptors are finished." Kobe also wanted to see how Li Tian's first game would be without him.

After seeing the pre-match interview, he had no interest in watching it any longer. He knew that the Raptors would definitely not be able to withstand his offense, not to mention the monster O'Neal in the team. Even though he was old, he was still an old man. monster.

"Guys, I don't know if you see it? ESPN thinks we can't make the playoffs, and we are going to tell them today that they are wrong, and we will definitely make the playoffs!"

In the locker room of the visiting team, he boosted the morale of his teammates. Seeing the expressions on his teammates' faces, it was obviously effective.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" The high-moralized Knicks players came out of the locker room and ran towards the court.

Knicks starters: Lowry, Tony Allen, Li Tian, ​​Anthony Randolph, O'Neal.

Raptors starters: Jarrett Jack, DeRozan, Kleiza, Evans, Bargnani.

O'Neal did not win the jump ball. Although he has lost a lot of weight recently, compared with the opponent, there is still a big gap in weight.

"My God, just at the beginning, the Knicks showed their strong defensive ability. DeRozan was intercepted by Tony Allen, and Lee made a quick break for a dunk." Van Gundy shouted.

Because of his presence, the Knicks' first game was scheduled to be broadcast live across the United States.

"Why is it so crazy? Kleiza's three-pointer was directly blocked by Lee. It's too cruel. They can't treat Kleiza like this." Brin suddenly felt that he might really be wrong.

"Three-point hit! It's another three-pointer. This is already the fourth three-pointer for the Knicks in the first quarter, and it's still the case that Lee didn't make a three-pointer." Van Gundy shouted again.

"Lee made a breakthrough with the ball, passed Kleiza's defense with one step, and attracted Evans' supplementary defense. He actually passed the ball, and Randolph dunked and scored." Breen said excitedly again.

"Well, the Knicks' crazy performance, I think they played Phoenix's bombardment, but it's a pity that O'Neal slowed down their speed." Van Gundy saw O'Neal who turned back to defend before halftime.

"It's 12:0 now, Raptors coach Triano should call a timeout quickly, otherwise they will be taken away by the opponent in one quarter, the Raptors without Bosh are really nothing. "Brin couldn't bear to continue watching, it was too miserable.
