Chapter 164 A man favored by God?
Same with dealing with Keith Van Horn.

After the head coach, Mr. Lanney, came out of the general manager's office, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly found Wang Xiaochun, who was training interference shots.

And also bluntly told Wang Xiaochun what Mr. General Manager meant.

"Ah? I'm still the youngest in the starting line-up, how can I have the right to answer such a question, am I making a mistake?"

"Of course there is no mistake! This is the team's trust in you, and it is also to optimize the team's existing lineup! Besides, this is just asking for your opinion! Don't have any worries, speak out boldly!"

There is an idiom to describe Wang Xiaochun's current mood, which should be appropriate, that is "too frightened...!"

Why do you say that?
That's because he was asked to help select players during the previous summer league!This guy already feels very "flattered"!

Although it was nominally about feedback, in the end he still wanted all the players he picked!
This of course gave Wang Xiaochun the feeling of being trusted.

But no matter what, it's just adding some unimportant players to the team.What's more, the three outsiders were found by the team themselves!His key recommendation can be passed by all members, or it may be just luck.

After all, this guy is not yet proud enough to think that he can really decide whether players will stay or not.

So after this incident passed, he consciously returned to his identity as a player.

But now it's all right.How long has it been since the summer league picks?

Now I have to ask him such an important question.

This involves the active personnel in the team.

And also the first member.

Maybe with Wang Xiaochun's guts, he couldn't believe this fact!
Besides, this guy is a little skeptical about being smart.

"This is not digging a hole for me, is it? Is it an excuse to want Keith Van Horn to leave the team and let the team be a good guy, and I will be the "villain" who drives out his teammates? No, fight I can't bear this blame even if I die!"

Wang Xiaochun's suspicion is actually not too outrageous.

Because there are teams in the league that do it.

But obviously, this guy hasn't fully figured out what his current position in the team is.

Didn't realize it either.The team seems to have gradually begun to build a lineup around him.

And him?Still the mentality of a young player.

So under the continuous questioning of the head coach, and under the circumstance that he didn't want to be a villain, with the feeling that neither side wanted to offend,

This guy was going to give a perfunctory answer, but he couldn't answer too perfunctorily, so this guy took the "theoretical answer method"...

"Cough...cough cough..., then, what! Coach?
If you ask me to name my personal choice, I really can't tell. After all, I have only been in the league for a long time, and I still can't recognize the starting players of other teams... How dare I talk nonsense about this?

But I personally think..., just a personal feeling!The team's backup small forwards are enough, they can completely make up for Keith Van Horn's defensive problems!
And compared to this!We should work harder on the bench lineup!You see, our team has never had a strong sixth man!
Every time we start a game and gain a scoring advantage, it is difficult for the substitutes to hold on. Of course, I do not mean that our substitute lineup is weak, but that there is no sharp-edged leader to lead the team!There is no way to fully display the strength of the substitute!
So instead of changing the starting lineup, it is better to consider the issue of substitutes.

As for me, I only have such a small opinion, so don't laugh at me, ha ha... ha! "

What is shifting focus and psychological suggestion?
Wang Xiaochun felt that he had accomplished what he just said.

"Look at the level of our speech! We only mention Keith Van Horn's shortcomings that everyone knows, and we don't even say that we should replace this guy! And he also pointed out the worst way out for this guy? Hey? What the hell? It's time to become so smart? The speed of this brain is too fast...!"

Wang Xiaochun's meaning should be relatively clear!
Since the team is not satisfied with Keith Van Horn.How to operate love is your business, anyway, he doesn't know anything.

But since he had already asked his opinion, he didn't want to offend anyone.In order to prevent this matter from being rumored in the future, a compromise is to let Keith Van Horn bring a substitute and become the Knicks' best sixth man.

If so.The starting defense problem is solved.After all, both Matt Barnes and Trevor Ariza are barely usable.Perhaps this can accelerate the growth of the two of them!

And after Keith Van Horn became the sixth man, the issue of right to shoot was even less involved.With a substitute, what's wrong with you?Anyway, your offense is the sharpest among the substitutes.If you don't want to mess around...?
So in general, Wang Xiaochun's theoretical answer can still be justified.

"Isn't this guy simple? I noticed it so quickly, the problem I just noticed...?"

Just like Susan's recent opinion of Wang Xiaochun.The Knicks head coach felt that he had to look up to Wang Xiaochun too.

I mentioned it earlier.The Knicks' starting lineup takes nearly 80 percent of their shots.The substitute lineup is only more than 20%.

Why is the distribution so uneven?
That's because the Knicks' starting strength is too strong, and the bench is a little weak.

This is exactly what Wang Xiaochun said just now.

Let's revisit the Knicks' starting lineup.

Charlie Ward, Hardaway.Shanton Anderson.Tim Thomas.Joel Przybilla.

To be honest, this bench lineup can only be regarded as a lineup with a good offense but a mediocre defense. It is still composed of a group of "old arms and old legs"...

And in this lineup, there are no players who can "stand up".

What does it mean to stand up?
I still have to borrow that word from Wang Xiaochun just now!
That is the "sharp knife character!"

Perhaps every excellent lineup should have its backbone.

With this backbone as the center, the best results should be achieved by launching an offense.

If not.That may be a mess of scattered sand, each fighting its own way.

Someone may have asked.

Isn't "Penny" Hardaway?
They are known as Jordan's successors.It's enough to point to this name.

If someone really thinks so, then he can only send him three words.

"Pull it down!"

Keith Van Horn is also known as the second generation of Big Bird.But look at what he looks like now.

It's almost becoming a dog-hating thing in the Knicks...  If the name is useful, what do you need strength for?
Of course.Hardaway and Keith Van Horn are still different.

After all, one is that the talent cannot be fulfilled, and the other is that the talent is affected by injuries.Heaven is jealous of talents.

If it weren't for Hardaway's injury, it would have been so serious that it could not be recovered.

How could the Knicks use a group of broken fish and shrimps to get Hardaway in addition to trading to Marbury?

It is also impossible for Hardaway to be reduced to playing as a substitute after arriving in the Knicks.

So the sharp knife character has nothing to do with "penny".

When describing this lineup just now, there was a word called "old arms and old legs".

This does not mean that all five of these people are injured.

Rather, it is related to the age of the ball.

As the saying goes, an old Taoist is like a treasure.

If this sentence is placed in the NBA.

It expresses the meaning of bringing the old with the new.

Every team will have one or two veterans.Pass on experience to newcomers on the team.

But if there are always too many veterans in the team.And almost all of them are crowded in the bench lineup.

So no matter how strong their personal abilities are.

It is also impossible to compare with the real "young and strong".At least in terms of momentum, there is no way to compare.

Otherwise, why have the saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

Not to mention Penny Hardaway, he is covered in injuries.Moreover, he has played in the NBA for 8 years, which can be regarded as a "longevity".

But there are two older players on the bench.He was even so tall that he was about to die....

And these two people are Charlie Ward and Shandon Anderson.One is 10 years and the other is 9 years.

You know, the average NBA player's career is about 10 years at most.Only a very small number of exceptions can exceed this number.

So these two are already so old, and they must have nothing to do with the sharp knife.

As for Tim Thomas.Although he is a little younger, it can barely be regarded as the peak moment, and he has played for 6 years.

In addition, he can only be regarded as a mediocre talent.

And his style of play is somewhat similar to Keith Van Horn.

Naturally, it is not suitable to be a sharp knife.

And the last Joel Przybilla.

The reason why he is included in the old arm and old leg is because this guy is currently injured.The position was almost overtaken by Battelle.

It's hard to protect myself, and I still have a sharp knife...

And even if he is healthy, he can be regarded as a blue-collar center if he is exhausted.Even more inappropriate.

So to sum up.

The Knicks' bench lineup really needs a sharp-edged character to gather the combat power of these old arms and legs.to the best of their abilities.

And these are also what the head coach Mr. Lanney thinks recently.

But although his idea is the same as Wang Xiaochun.

But in terms of candidates, Keith Van Horn was not considered at all.

"This guy can barely be considered a mobile fort? A sharp knife? It's not bad if he doesn't get "stabbed"!"

The best sixth man coach Lenny needs is not just a player who can only rely on the number of shots to score.

As mentioned earlier, it needs to be a team that can connect these old arms and legs together.Bring out the strength of the group, not just the strength of the individual.

And such a player, of course, is not easy to get.

Although he had this idea before, he was affected by the Knicks' salary space.It's never been able to work.

You must know that the Knicks' current salary space has already ranked first in the league.

Up to more than 1 million US dollars.

It is two and a half times higher than the Eagles at the bottom.

And it will be even worse next year.It can be as high as $1.

So where do they have room for signings?
It wouldn't be possible to pick players directly in summer league if it wasn't for that.

But now it seems that there is room for it.

Don't look at Keith Van Horn who hates dogs here in the Knicks.

But they still have a big contract.

The contract amount for this season alone is as high as 1160 million US dollars.

And even if the contract amount is so high.But if it is placed on the trading market, there are still many teams willing to ask for it.

"Using this guy to trade, should be able to get a good sixth man?"

If Keith Van Horn is traded for a player at the same position.Mr. Head Coach will of course put his thoughts on hold for the time being.

After all, it was their general manager who made the final decision on the deal.

But now that there is Wang Xiaochun's "support".And the reason is so reasonable.

What else do I need to say?
Continue to be sloppy.

After leaving Wang Xiaochun behind, he went straight to the general manager's office.

As for Wang Xiaochun, after seeing "Trouble" leave.

I quickly went back to practice my interference shots.

Since the start of the new season.

Wang Xiaochun had shown all his guts.

But what was taken out was only the guts to resist interference.

As for the strong eating at the basket.This guy hasn't dared to try yet.

After all, the defensive levels of the two arenas are different.

If you encounter a technical player who is not strong like Gasol.Wang Xiaochun dared to give it a try.

But how many insiders in the NBA can be regarded as truly technical.A player who is not strong?Most of them rely on their bodies to play games.

So Wang Xiaochun didn't dare to act hastily in this regard.

I feel that I still need a long transition period.After the footsteps and technology are slightly mature.Use it again.

But in terms of three-point shooting, Wang Xiaochun couldn't wait.

After all, he has already practiced to the point where there is nothing to practice.Only the problem of anti-interference remains.

So in order to digest this problem as much as possible.

This guy will ask to improve his shot rights.

But judging from the current effect.

Although it is half of the shooting percentage of last season.

But he can still dominate the three-point shooting percentage rankings.

Of course, Wang Xiaochun will not be limited to the results on the list.

The road to becoming stronger cannot stop here.

In order to develop your own three-pointer application to the maximum.

Except this guy has been training anti-interference.

Special ball-holding training has also begun.

After all, there is a big difference between waiting to attack and autonomously attacking.

But this guy's background is really bad.

I haven't practiced any effect yet...

…………

October 10th is an ordinary game day.But this is normal only for fans in the United States.

But for Chinese fans.

This game day is not too ordinary.

As for the reason, that is.

Today is the game between the Knicks and the Rockets.

They want to witness the performance of three Chinese players in one game.

"Bus? I didn't expect that you went to Xiaochun's place without making a sound? But in today's game, you two, don't be too arrogant. You think that two people can bully me alone, but I also have new teammates. of!"

before the game starts.

Because it has long been known that this game will be broadcast live in China.

So the three Chinese insiders naturally have to show a happy look.

Besides, the relationship between the three of them was already good.

Spanking in this chat is naturally an expression of true feelings...

"Huh? Unconvinced? Don't think that your Rockets have changed their blood? It looks so awesome? We are about the same? Besides, don't we have an extra scoring champion? Brother, my surname is Wang...!"

Compared with the Knicks' replenishment and replacement.

The Rockets are a real shake-up.

When Yao Ming and Wang Xiaochun were still playing in the Olympics, the Houston Rockets used Steve Francis, Cutino Mobley and Kevin Cato as bargaining chips to trade from the Magic for McGrady, Juwan Howard, Tyronn Lou and Lys Gaines.

It can be regarded as a new improvement in strength.

Played 7 games so far, the record is 4 wins and 3 losses.It's pretty good too.

But even the Rockets have a pretty good record.But Wang Xiaochun was not afraid at all.

As for the reason?
"Anyway, I don't have to fight against McGrady, what am I afraid of him doing...?"

...Of course, this was just a joke.

But Wang Xiaochun's fearlessness is true.

Don't look at the Rockets who got a scoring champion.

But in terms of overall strength, it is still slightly worse than the Knicks.

The Rockets are now playing Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming.

But the Knicks have Marbury, Houston, Keith... .Forget it, let's not mention this one...Dampier..., and Wang Xiaochun, who is now averaging more than 15 points per game.

As the saying goes, more people are more powerful.

Wang Xiaochun didn't believe in their strength?Can't beat the Rockets.

But sometimes, not many people can make things happen.

because….

"Is this a man favored by God? And? Keith Van Horn! You are too useless? Can't you use your height to influence that guy's attitude?
no!Can't go on like this, coach!Put Matt...,...let Matt Barnes play! "
