The older superstars of the NBA

New York Knicks offense.

Zach LaVine dribbled the ball forward and looked for an opportunity at the top of the arc after halftime. Faced with the interference of Nets guard Garnett Temple, LaVine dribbled the ball away from the opponent and entered the two zones.

boom.

LaVine threw the ball, but unfortunately this time the basketball failed to hit due to interference from the opponent's defense.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Seeing the rebound fall, players on both sides of the basket were waiting for the opportunity to make money. Noah Vonleh blocked the person behind him and deliberately pushed the basketball away with his hand, causing the basketball to bounce towards where Tristan Thompson was.

However, even with this ball in front of him, Tristan couldn't catch it after jumping up. His hand seemed to have slipped and the basketball rolled out of bounds by accident.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

All the fans in the audience were in exclamation.

"wtf?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhao Feiyang, who sat down on the team bench to rest, was also stunned for a while. He looked at Adrian Ennis beside him and really didn't understand how Tristan operated!

"The first time I saw a rebound go out of bounds was when no one was around..."

Adrian complained.

Zhao Feiyang was also speechless.

"What is this guy Tristan doing? He wasn't in such bad shape during the preseason! How come he's like this in the official game?"

"I guess it must have something to do with the woman named Kohler! Zhao, there is a saying in China! There are only exhausted cows and no plowed fields... If Tristan doesn't consume himself in moderation, With a healthy body, it’s not surprising that he performed like this..."

On the field.

The ball fell to the Nets.

Tristan looked a little annoyed when he made a mistake, but he didn't take it seriously.

Soon the Nets released the ball. After halftime, the ball was transferred to striker Wilson Chandler. Chandler feinted and rushed to the basket with the ball.

At this time, Jordan lost his position because of the defense. Tristan, who was standing under the basket, could choose to block this attack instead of Jordan.

However, what surprised everyone was that not only did Tristan not step forward to make up the position, but he stood there and watched as Chandler dunked the ball into the basket.

boom.

The ball went in.

The Nets bench burst into cheers, and Kyrie Irving personally stood up and applauded his teammates. Many Nets fans at the scene also cheered for this dunk.

call out.

The referee whistle sounded.

Not surprisingly, coach Norman Thomas decisively replaced Tristan. When the latter found out that he had been replaced, he frowned and showed some unwillingness. After walking off the court, he even complained to Coach Thomas.

"Norman, why did you replace me?"

"That's right! I made a mistake, but who didn't make a mistake? Can't you give me a little more time? Everyone needs enough time to find their state... Do you understand?"

Coach Thomas crossed his hands on his chest and stared at Tristan coldly. He was still the same, silent and without any expression.

Perhaps Tristan felt that he was being ignored, and his temper suddenly rose.

Just as he was yelling at Coach Thomas, a voice stepped forward in time to stop him.

"Hey, Tristan, don't do anything stupid...listen to Coach Norman and come over and rest first!"

Tristan was a little unhappy, and was about to say something in reply, but when he turned around, he realized that the person speaking was Zhao Feiyang.

He might dare to complain to Coach Thomas, but he didn't dare to do so in front of Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang is now the soul of the Knicks and the leader of the team. If he does anything too much, other players can deal with him directly without Zhao Feiyang personally taking action.

Although he was unhappy, Tristan still held his breath and sat aside to rest.

Zhao Feiyang took this opportunity to change positions with other teammates. After sitting next to Tristan, he also asked, "Man, don't be angry! What did you do? You were never in this state before... .... Those two mistakes just now were very inappropriate, you know?"

"Zhao, it's just two mistakes. Why do you keep holding on to them? Everyone makes mistakes, and so will you... Is this something weird?"

Tristan complained with an air of disapproval.

Zhao Feiyang originally likes to communicate with his teammates, because everyone does not know each other very well. Communication helps to understand each other and can also resolve some misunderstandings, which is a good thing for the unity of the team.

Therefore, even DeMarcus Cousins, who is used to being a thorn in other places, did not cause any trouble when he came to the Knicks last season. It was all because of him doing many seemingly easy things. Not an easy job.

There is more than one type of leader.

Some have arrogant attitudes, speaking only with strength, and using their ability to pressure their teammates to surrender; some are not like this. They treat their teammates as friends, use a more rational way to solve problems, and maintain the unity between the teams.

Both types of people are leaders and have their own styles.

It's hard to say which one is good or bad, but from the perspective of leading teammates, it is obvious that everyone prefers a person who is willing to communicate rather than force others.

This time, Tristan's complaint made Zhao Feiyang feel differently.

He didn't know what this guy had been through, but Zhao Feiyang didn't like this guy's attitude from the bottom of his heart as he ignored his own responsibilities and dared not take responsibility.

So, he had no intention of continuing the communication, and just said something to Tristan seriously, "Listen! Man, I have no intention of interfering in your private life! But I hope you won't interfere with things outside the court." The harmony of the team affects the team's pursuit of the championship..."

"I believe you know what I mean!"

After saying these words, Zhao Feiyang returned to his previous position and no longer had any thoughts of continuing to chat with Tristan.

The game goes on.

Soon after the second quarter ended, the Nets were still lagging behind. The Knicks, led by LaVine and others, stabilized their advantage and opened the score to 8 points.

68:60.

The Knicks temporarily took the lead.

Half time.

Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

Here in the Knicks locker room, Zhao Feiyang and a group of people were listening to coach Thomas pointing out the problems on the field. Suddenly, the door to the locker room opened from the outside.

What a coincidence, the person here is Khloe Kardashian again.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt! I'm here to deliver something to Tristan..."

This woman has a very sweet mouth and even takes the initiative to say hello to the players. However, everyone behaved relatively indifferently.

It’s not that family members are denied entry, but that during halftime the time belongs entirely to the team, and family members should not enter the locker room even if they come to visit.

"Ma'am, you can put down your things and get out of here... okay?"

"This is not visiting time!"

Coach Thomas said unhappily.

Tristan on the side didn't care at all. Not only did he accept what Kohler handed over, but he also continued to perform his intimate behavior with the other person in front of everyone.

The two hugged each other and nibbled for several seconds, then reluctantly separated.

Khloe is finally gone!

But because of her interference, the atmosphere in the team's locker room also changed. Many players began to whisper and lost their previous concentration.

"Quiet!"

Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but stood up and roared.

"Now whoever plays the special number again will get out of the locker room... It's game time! Our opponent is not a team that is at the bottom of the game, but it is very likely to compete with us in the Eastern Conference finals." Competitive Nets..."

The aura of the leader is still very strong.

As soon as Zhao Feiyang spoke, the other players fell silent. Seeing that the atmosphere in the locker room was gradually improving, head coach Thomas continued to talk.

The second half comes.

After a brief mini-meeting, the Knicks' issues were taken seriously. Coach Thomas sent Zhao Feiyang to the court this time, and at the same time replaced Howard and Tristan to partner in the paint, letting the two be responsible for guarding the Knicks' rebounds.

On the Nets side, Irving, who had rested for a while, also appeared again.

call out.

The Nets serve and the third quarter begins.

The basketball fell into Irving's hands, and Irving got the ball and advanced with the ball. After halftime, he took an offensive stance at the top of the key.

Zhao Feiyang went up to guard one-on-one.

The two met each other, and Irving dribbled the ball towards the two areas. Zhao Feiyang bit him and refused to let go, and Owen's shaking did not achieve very good results.

But the next second, Irving's teammate Caris suddenly came up to cover. Before Zhao Feiyang noticed, Irving took advantage of the pick-and-roll to break into the two zones.

Howard made up the defense in time, and faced the interference from Irving, he turned around and took a throw.

boom.

The basketball failed to score.

Tristan was already stuck under the basket. Seeing that he was about to jump up to grab the rebound, Nets center Jarrett suddenly flew up.

The two jumped up at the same time, but Jarrett came up from behind and took the ball away from Tristan when he had already picked it up.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Tristan didn't expect the other party to be so ferocious! By the time he reacted and planned to continue fighting, Jarrett had jumped up again and smashed the ball toward the basket.

boom.

The ball went in.

Tristan is defeated again!

Such a performance really disappointed Zhao Feiyang! It also made the head coach Thomas on the sidelines couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Originally, he wanted to replace Tristan, but considering that this guy had just arrived, and he probably didn't train seriously during the offseason, it's not too outrageous that his condition has fluctuated as his intensity has increased. Therefore, Coach Thomas still plans to give Tristan a chance.

It's not that he has anything worth cultivating for the team. There are only so many players on the free market, and he is the only one the Knicks can currently choose!
