Godfather of basketball: coach Dayao to win the championship

After reassuring the other Knicks players, Han Ning felt relieved and continued to look for players to complement the Knicks lineup.

Currently, the Knicks have only nine players on their roster.

Even the roster of 12 people is not complete.

Last season, the Knicks had very few players.

In many cases, in order to make up the roster, a few players will be temporarily brought up from the Development League to make up the number.

It's just that these players basically have no chance to play.

Han Ning was also somewhat dissatisfied with this.

Fortunately last season, the Knicks did not suffer any major injuries.

Can't do that this season.

At least twelve players must be added.

That means adding three more players.

Two players can sign rookies from the draft.

The first-round pick traded from the Lakers.

And the second-round pick that the Knicks still have in their hands.

For the remaining player, Han Ning intends to look for it from the list of free agents.

This year's free agent list is really full of good players.

Like Rasheed Wallace.

But in the draft list, there are no good inside players.

In other words, there are good inside players.

But with the pick in the hands of the Knicks, it's impossible to sign!

Therefore, he can only find inside players from the free agent list for reinforcement.

But it's a pity that players like Rasheed Wallace are unlikely to come to the Knicks to play off the bench.

Han Ning had no choice but to focus on those players who were not so good.

This also means that it may be difficult for the Knicks to form a new lineup of the Big Four inside.

The intensity will definitely drop from last season's intensity.

This is also impossible.

Flipping through the free agent information one by one.

Han Ning's expression became more and more serious.

The reason why the Knicks were able to perform so well last season and win the championship.

The four King Kong insiders have contributed a lot.

if you can.

He naturally wants to let the team continue this advantage.

Has an absolute advantage inside.

However, at the end of this center era.

It is really difficult to find good inside players!

Suddenly, Han Ning's eyes lit up.

A player's profile was placed in front of his eyes.

Vlad Divac!

This player can be said to be very suitable for the current Knicks!

First, Vlade Divac made the All-Star team in 2001.

Strength is unquestionable.

Especially his passing ability, very good!

At this point, he can even become Dayao's teacher!

在NBA史上只有6位球员同时达到或超过13000分，9000篮板，3000助攻及1500盖帽这一数据。

Divac is one of them, the other 5 are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Hakeem Olaju prosperous.

Of course, Dayao's name may be added in the future.

But now, Vlade Divac is still a very good player.

Although old.

But he can still use his rich experience to ensure the defensive strength of the interior.

In terms of offense, his passing ability can be used to help the team sort out the offense.

In this way, even if Vlade Divac partnered with Mutombo, the Knicks' inside firepower would drop a lot.

But in terms of defensive strength, it has improved.

Moreover, the Knicks' bench lineup can use Vlade Divac's passing skills to carry out more tactical play to improve offensive firepower.

Finally, it can also teach Dayao some experience in supporting high positions.

No matter how you look at it, it is very suitable!

Big deal, the Knicks' bench lineup will compete with other teams for defense!

He still didn't believe it.

Vlade Divac plus Mutombo, can't fight the defense of other teams' benches? !

If you don't die, you're done!

Although it is said that Vlade Divac will retire due to injury in the 2004-2005 season in the original historical process.

But now, he is not injured.

Everything is avoidable.

As long as he is not injured, it is definitely not a problem for Vlade Divac to play for another two or three years.

Last season, he averaged 9.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game with the Kings!

The only trouble is that Vlade Divac played in the starting lineup for the Kings last season.

Will the Knicks be willing to play on the bench this season?

But in Han Ning's view, this trouble is not a big problem.

Taking out his mobile phone, the trustee asked for Vlade Divac's number and dialed it.

As the head coach of the Knicks, Han Ning has a group of brothers and stars in the league. It is very easy to find a mobile phone number of Vlad Divac.

The first time the phone was connected, Han Ning said, "Vlad, I'm Han Ning, the head coach of the Knicks."

Vlade Divac couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard Han Ning's words.

Then he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Hi, coach Han Ning."

Han Ning said straight to the point: "I won't play around with you, Vlad. Would you like to come to the Knicks?!"

Vlade Divac frowned slightly after hearing this.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Coach Han Ning, as far as I know, the Knicks already have many excellent inside players."

"If I go to the Knicks, I can only play as a substitute?!"

After hearing this, Han Ning smiled.

Then he said softly: "Vlad, you also know your age, you can't compete with Dayao and Kurt Thomas in the Knicks."

"After all, they're younger than you."

"I'm telling you the truth, I want you to come off the bench for the Knicks."

"Just like Mutombo."

The more Vlade Divac listened, the more he frowned.

Although he had to admit that what Han Ning said was right.

I also have to admit that I am getting old.

But he really didn't want to admit defeat!

If possible, he really wants to continue playing in the starting lineup.

However, Han Ning's next sentence completely defeated all the psychological defenses in his heart.

"Vlad, come to the Knicks! With you, we can definitely defend the championship!"

Champion!

Vlade Divac hasn't won a championship yet!

As long as you can win the championship.

What about him as a starting substitute? !

You just let me watch the water dispenser!

Vlade Divac didn't even think about it, so he agreed directly.

Go to tm's starting lineup!

I want to win the championship!
