Chapter 60 Landing ([-])

New York, the largest city in the world, is without a doubt.Big Apple City, that is, it is beautiful and delicious, which means that everyone wants a bite, the-city-that-never-sleep, Gotham City, this is also the city in the Batman movie, but what she means is Village of fools, city of fools, do you still remember the movie "Shut Up"?The name with the big nose inside.The capital of the world, the city of the empire, these are her names, so to speak, there are just a few area codes.

After saying goodbye to Christina, Hu Lin started making phone calls.

Hu Lin came here when he participated in the draft before, but there were always people accompanying him all the way, but this time it was different, he was going to live in this city.

Fortunately, I called Don Michael. This guy is still in charge and helped Hu Lin take care of many things in life. For example, where is the rented house?How are you going to the Knicks?these things.
.
"Hey! It's indeed the evil capitalism!" Hu Lin expressed the above emotions to the house he rented.This is a small two-story villa, which is the kind you often see in movies. There is a small lawn in front of the house and a small basketball court in the backyard. Not bad.However, this house is not in New York City, but in White Plains, upstate New York, or Tarrytown in White Plains to be precise.

Your sister's author!After talking about New York for a long time, you finally came here for others!
There is a reason for this.

The Knicks' training camp is in this tarry-town, which is the training center of MSG. Do you think the training location is Madison Square Garden? Are-you-kidding-me? !
Let’s put it this way, you will definitely be here before the start of the season. At the beginning of the regular season, there will be a lot of training to adapt to the field before you go to that garden. Otherwise, you will train in this place.

Remember, no NBA team will set up pre-season training camps at their home stadiums, and the daily training will not be there. Because the regular season is relatively intensive, they will often appear in various main stadiums. Is to adapt to field training.No matter how rich the boss is, he won’t let you use the home stadium for training, because it’s no longer a luxury, it’s stupid, at most some home stadiums have auxiliary gyms.

In addition, the location of the preseason training camp is also strange. The Knicks have money and their own place.Some teams borrow high school or university venues, such as the Celtics, and they have been borrowing for a long time; some still go to Hawaii, such as the Warriors; some have even been to Europe, such as the 76ers.

Well, that's all for now, let's get back to the book.

In fact, this location is not far from New York, just north of Manhattan, White Plains, New York. If you like to watch horror movies, remember the "Death Comes"?The second part of the story takes place in this small town.

Of course, the monthly rent for such a house is 3000 US dollars, but it is already much cheaper than that in the center of New York.

Hu Lin was prepared before, he didn’t bring many personal belongings, this guy is traveling through the crowd after all, he still knows that a lot of things are sold cheaper in the United States than domestic ones, and the biggest luggage is the shoes that Feng Kuo gave before.Nike here will provide boots and so on.

But even so, it took a day to settle down, which is already very neat and fast, and Hu Lin also bought less things for a man.

After finishing everything, I went out to find an ordinary restaurant, enjoyed an American meal, and cooked the bloodshot steak, which is at most 7 medium rare in the United States.After chopping and chopping, and chewing and swallowing slowly, Hu Lin started his first bold attempt after arriving in the United States!
haircut!

Friends who have no experience of going abroad may not know that getting a haircut abroad is not a trivial matter.Whether you will live a life depends on this!The price of a haircut abroad is really not cheap. It has been reported by domestic mainstream media.In fact, this is indeed the case, only Chinatown is cheaper, but Hu Lin has just arrived, and wants to keep a low profile, and besides, it is too far away now, so he can't go, so he can figure it out by himself.

You said that he has earned so much money, so he still cares about it?But Hu Lin doesn’t think so. He actually regards the haircut as a test of his independent life. Now he has to live alone, and many things have to start from the ‘head’. good.

"Buzz...buzz..." An electric fader with a small ruler on it. Originally, Hu Lin's hair didn't grow long, and he kept a 'hair size' all the time. It was just an experiment, and it will be easy to handle in the future up.

More than half an hour later, a big black ball was born. Lao Hu was still very satisfied with his first performance, so he took a shower and slept, and went to report to the team tomorrow.

Fortunately, after all, it can be regarded as going through a lot of big scenes, so, this night, Lao Hu is not bad.Although this guy is very picky about his bed, the long plane trip still makes him feel tired.

Because of jet lag, Hu Lin almost fell asleep the next day, but luckily Tang came to remind him.

"Welcome-to-the-league!" These were the first words Isiah Thomas said after seeing Hu Lin.

Then, the two didn't chat a few words, and Thomas introduced Hu Lin to the whole team.Originally, Hu Lin thought that the leader abroad is really very approachable. Such a big official would personally interview him, but he immediately became a 'business-is-business'.

For a rookie like Hu Lin, the Knicks have seen too much, so everyone is just getting acquainted with it out of courtesy. It’s just that many people stared at Hu Lin’s round head for a long time. There were bouts of chills.

Hu Lin recognized all the existing players of the Knicks. After all, he still paid close attention to the NBA in his last life.

The head coach, Larry Brown, is also a recruit of the Knicks this year, but he makes $1000 million a year. In the 03-04 season, he just led the Pistons to win the championship. Of course, this is also the first time this thousand-win coach won, and I am afraid it will be the last championship.Hu Lin has done some research on Larry Brown. This coach has a characteristic, that is, he likes to lead bad teams. The worse the team, the better he leads, and he can bring you to the playoffs with him, so , Coach Brown definitely didn't say anything about it, but he has a fatal problem, and Hu Lin can also analyze it, so I'll talk about it later.

The number one star, of course, is Stephen Marbury. This is a native of New York, the 'Son of New York', the hero of Coney Island. After joining the Knicks last season, he helped the team enter the playoffs. career pinnacle.However, Hu Lin knows that the Knicks will return from heaven to hell this season, and the disharmony between Marbury and Brown will be the main reason.

Combining the above, we can know that the problem with Coach Brown is that he is not very good at dealing with big-name stars!You can see that he was able to get along well with the AI ​​before, but it was actually because someone else pointed the AI, and it still collapsed in the end.If you look at the Pistons he brought, before the 04 Finals, how many people could recognize the entire starting lineup of the Pistons?Right, hey, after winning the championship, well, they have become big names. In the end, Brown couldn't get along with them again. Therefore, this Brown is really not good at this point, compared to Phil Jackson. The flow is too bad.
