The system judgment is over, this time the hit value is fully repaired, and the risk of downgrade is only (4/10). After the judgment, the host does not need to downgrade this time, and now enter the lottery page...]

……

Ye Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the goddess of fate was on his side and did not judge him to be downgraded.

[Reminder: The system enters the lottery page, every time you open the treasure box, you need to hit 1000, yes/no to open! 】

Open!
Without hesitation, Ye Feng directly opened the first treasure chest.

After a hasty glance at the information of the items he had harvested, Ye Feng immediately set his sights on the information of the era fragments.

[Reminder: Host, you have collected 7 pieces of the 98-year era and obtained the qualification to travel to 98 years. 】

[Reminder: This is the host's first time travel in 98, and he needs to enter the personal trial, the content is to stay.

If the trial cannot be completed, the system will revoke the qualification for 98 years of traversing, and will give different degrees of punishment according to the score of the task completion. 】

[Reminder: Time travel in 98 is about to start, please make sure there are no witnesses around you.Host, you will travel in 10 minutes]

10 minutes are over.

[Traveling trial started: Time: 1998, Location: Nix. 】

[Warning: The host has reached the time and space of 1998. In this era, due to the uneven distribution of labor and capital, the NBA league has entered a suspension period, and all NBA activities have stopped. Traveling through teleportation still needs to wait...]

[Reminder: The schedule for the 98-99 season, the new season of the NBA, was only opened in February 1999, and the transmission time point has changed... The transmission ends. 】

……

Ye Feng felt in a trance for a while, being turned into vortex fragments of the era, twisting and spinning his whole body.

When Ye Feng opened his eyes again and woke up, he was already sitting in the general manager's office of the Knicks.

On the table in front of you are two 10-day short-term contracts.

Sitting opposite Ye Feng was Ernie Grunfeld, the current general manager of the Knicks.

There is also a new player beside him, who feels a little familiar, but can't remember the name for a while. He presumably competes with Ye Feng for a position.

In other words, after the end of ten days, only one of them can stay, or both of them have to leave.

[Reminder: After signing the contract, the host will play the 10-day regular season with the Knicks. The Knicks will make an assessment based on the player's next on-ball performance, and then decide whether the player will stay or not. 】

Shashasha~
With a smooth writing sound, Ye Feng signed his name freely and freely.

Immediately afterwards, the competitor next to him looked away from the signing contract and quickly signed his name.

At this time, Knicks general manager Earl Grunfeld rolled his eyes, confirmed that there was no problem, stretched out his right hand, and added with a smile: "Ye Feng, Bruce, although the time is short, from now on you will be Part of the Knicks."

After briefly shaking hands, Earl Grunfeld continued: "The staff will arrange for you to go to a temporary place to live later.

In fact, I don't know how long I can stay, because the Knicks will go to the away game next time, and you will play with the team, and you will mainly listen to the arrangement of the head coach.

I don't know if we can still meet here again, the answer will not be revealed until 10 days later, so, I wish you good luck for the first time. "

……

Leave the general manager's office.

Ye Feng communicated with his future teammates next to him.

"I haven't met you yet. My name is Ye Feng. I'm from China. I play shooting guard. I seem to have seen you there." Ye Feng said seriously with a thoughtful face.

"I'm sure, you're such a handsome Chinese player, I've never seen you before.

However, it doesn't matter whether we have met or not, we will be teammates fighting side by side, so we should get to know each other again.

My name is Bruce Bowen, and I play swingman. "

After finishing speaking, Bruce Bowen stretched out his right hand with a smile, ready to shake hands with Ye Feng and say hello.

Subconsciously stretched out his right hand, suddenly his hand paused in mid-air, Ye Feng widened his eyes and said in surprise, "Are you Bowen?"

"Do not.

Please call me Bruce, the first and last names of American and Chinese names are called differently. "

"Is that really important!" Ye Feng said anxiously.

The point is, you are that Bowen!
In the future, he will be known as one of the top ten villains, the "Uncle Bao", who likes to kick people, the hardest thorn in the Spurs.

My competitor is actually Bruce Bowen.

Ye Feng was a little surprised, but it was reasonable. It was 1999, he was in the NBA, and he hadn't been scooped up by the Spurs. He hadn't made his name yet!
"Of course! The first name is the first name, and the last name is the last name. It's clear." Bruce Bowen laughed.

Your smile is a sneer!

Bowen!

What the hell, didn't he sneer at me just now?

Fortunately, we are in the same camp now, and we are teammates of the Knicks, so he shouldn't make a move on me.

Because, he is a player hated by the enemy, but a player his teammates like.

That's right, with him by your side, you can't hit the ball with your hands, can't you still use your feet?

A teammate with both hands and feet may not be liked by Ye Feng, but at least he won't hate it.

……

When Ye Feng signed the contract and arranged a temporary place to live, the system sent the specific information of this trial.

Enter the era: 98-99 season, Knicks.

Era Difficulty: Hell. (Starting from Black Eight Miracles)
Introduction to the era: The god of basketball, Jordan retired, and the Bulls dynasty disintegrated. This is an era of vying for the title. Except for O'Neal, the four major centers are shining in their youth, and the league has entered the spring of guards.

Center and defense are still the main theme!

Defender and offense are new forces rising.

The main task; make a 10-day short-term contract, prove your strength and stay.

The trial begins.

……

Ye Feng immediately checked the specific information of the trial mission.

Main task: temporarily solve little Van Gundy's troubles.

Difficulty: Hell.

Introduction: Jeff Van Gundy, at the age of 33, created the record of the youngest head coach in the NBA.

The Knicks have a thick lineup, which can be called the number one in the league. From 95 to 99, they have always remained in the championship.

In the era when Jordan dominated the league, all the stars were overwhelmed and dimmed.

The Knicks have also been unable to break out of the Eastern Conference.

However, Jordan's retirement this year is the best time for the Knicks to hit the championship.

To this end, the Knicks traded John Starks, Chris Myers and Terry Cummings to the "madman" Sprewell who was in the "throat door" incident, and Ewing, and Alan Houston, forming the 'Big Three'.

Coupled with the thickness of the Knicks' original lineup, "Auntie" Johnson brought in the second place of the 96 golden generation, Marcus Camby.

On paper, the Knicks have a formidable roster.

However, this year's shrinking season, the Knicks have joined the new players, and the lineup is a lot of problems.

And Van Gundy Jr. is a defensive coach, and the team's offensive and defensive system all revolves around Pasrick Ewing.

However, Ewing exposed his weakness in IQ during the salary negotiations, and he has been unable to slow down. In addition, he is 35 years old, injuries are inevitable, and he plays intermittently during games.

Ewing is a barometer of the Knicks' record.

The Knicks also followed Ewing's state and began to have ups and downs.

The new madman Sprewell is still looking for his status. He was suspended for 68 games last season, and the new season started in February. He has not officially played well for more than a year.

Sprewell also played on and off due to his style of play and state problems. He could only start as a substitute player and could not solve the Knicks' offensive problems.

The offense can't be solved, and Van Gundy Jr.'s coaching style is stubborn. He knows that the Knicks' performance is unstable and the reason why they can't win is because of some problems.

However, he is very troubled, he really can't strengthen the problem of attacking!
Information: Next, Ewing and Sprewell have two truces at the same time. They will face the Lakers and Jazz in the away game. Without the two core players, the Knicks will be in bad luck.

Duration: 10 days.

Reward: This trial is part of a series of missions. Completing the mission is equivalent to obtaining a time travel certificate, which paves the way for subsequent missions. The reward depends on the completion score.

Punishment: The system will withdraw the qualification to travel through 98 years, and give different degrees of punishment according to the score of task completion.

……

After Ye Feng read the message, he knew why little Van Gundy was troubled.

I also understand that the Knicks lineup is not weak, why the difficulty of the task is hell.

His forehead is like a coach with a defensive label. In addition to treating Ewing as his thigh, he also regards him as his "wife". If he leaves Ewing, he feels that the Knicks will collapse.

Not many shooting guards are brought along, and Van Gundy Jr. is afraid that the team's offense will not be strong.

In fact, even if you give him a few scoring champions, like Jordan in Europe, it doesn't mean that he can solve the team's offensive problems.

Because, the offense in Little Van Gundy's heart lives in hell, the difference is on that level, it's not a question of whether it is there or not.

It seems that this trouble is really hard to solve.

The only thing that is beneficial to me may be time, which is a temporary solution.

In the short term, there will be more accidents, sudden outbreaks, and just prove your strength.

Do you have to pull Van Gundy Jr. to prove that he is not a coach who can only defend?

This point still needs to be clarified.
