Basketball: Serious injury at the start!Turn on hell mode

The coffee on the table was steaming hot and exuding a strong aroma.

At this time, Duke has no intention to taste it, he is eager to know the purpose of D'Antoni looking for him.

Fortunately, D'Antoni is not an inkblot person, so he said straight to the point:

"Duke, I want to use you as the core in the preseason and copy the Suns' offense to this Knicks."

Duke was overjoyed, the happiness came so suddenly.

Facing the joy on Duke's face, D'Antoni also smiled, which is normal, and any rookie will be happy to hear such words.

He is also helpless, there is really no one in this team who can do it.

Seeing that Duke quickly calmed down, he secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart. A point guard who is calm and not easy to get on top of is a qualified offensive core with the ball, and he is also the candidate in his mind.

With a dry cough, he continued:

"Actually, I have noticed your performance a long time ago. Don't doubt it. After all, I was Nash's head coach before, and Nash mentioned you to me."

"However, in my eyes, you and Nash are not the same type. If Nash is the core of the organizational team, then you are more offensive."

"In the system I'm about to build, your offense is very important. I will customize multiple sets of personal offensive tactics for you. You need..."

Duke understood that D'Antoni meant to be a player like Harden and Doncic in the future.

The offensive organization grasps with one hand and has absolute possession of the ball on the court.

Tsk tsk, this treatment is properly at the boss level.

However, I like it!

After thinking carefully for a while, Duke also discovered the problem.

If D'Antoni's offensive system in the Suns is applied to the Knicks, then the lineup is a big problem. Randolph's movement speed and so on will have an impact on the team.

It's just that I'm still a rookie, so asking such a tricky question will be regarded as playing big cards.

For a moment Duke hesitated.

Seeing the hesitation on Duke's face, D'Antoni smiled slightly and said:

"If you have any questions, just talk about it, don't worry, I won't mind."

Seeing D'Antoni like this, Duke simply didn't hide it anymore, and directly stated the problem.

"Coach, if we want to play bombardment tactics, our lineup will have big problems, such as Randolph's movement speed, and the team's shooting ability..."

D'Antoni patiently listened to Duke's words, with a calm face. Obviously, he has made sufficient preparations for these, and he also revealed a little bit about the team's future plans.

"You don't have to worry about this, the team will trade soon, and I will build a suitable lineup for you in the preseason."

Duke also calmed down when he heard the words, and it seems that the expected transaction will come ahead of schedule.

In the end, D'Antoni left a sentence, which can also be said to be a test for Duke.

"You only have time for the preseason, and only if you perform well in the preseason will you have the opportunity to become the real core of the team in the new season, so work hard."

.....

When D'Antoni announced this decision in public, the entire team was fried.

Although he knew that Duke was personally selected by the boss, he didn't expect that it would be Wang Zha in the first place.

Ordinary rotation players don't matter, who is the core has nothing to do with them, at most it's just a change of the water hander.

But some people are not calm.

Randolph's face was angry. He felt that his position as the leader of the team was seriously threatened, but he was not a fool. He did not choose to challenge the head coach's power, but made up his mind.

"Isn't it the preseason? You can play without my cooperation. When your performance in the preseason is terrible, let's see how D'Antoni dares to take you as the core!"

Crawford is very normal, no matter who is the core, it doesn't matter much to him, anyway, his style of play is like that, he himself is also a taciturn person, and he will not express his opinion on this matter.

The other two who performed abnormally were Nate Robinson and Chris Duhon.

The positions of both of them overlap with Duke, that is to say, one of them will be squeezed out of playing time, and the other will lose his starting position, which is very bad for their situation.

D'Antoni had a panoramic view of everyone's eyes. He naturally knew who his actions would affect, but he didn't care at all.

After all, he is also the person who won the best coach of the season. If he can't even handle this matter, he will be ashamed to stay in the Knicks.

Soon the tactical system was implemented, and everyone started training for the new tactical system.

And D'Antoni also observed the crowd from the sidelines, choosing his favorite candidate.

Not long after the training started, Duke quickly discovered something was wrong.

The few people headed by Randolph always vaguely refused to pass the ball to him.

Randolph endured it, after all, he and he are on the same mountain and cannot tolerate two tigers, but what do the others mean, treating me as easy to bully?

Just as Duke was thinking about how to deal with them, D'Antoni announced the end of the practice.

Duke was taken aback, disbanded so early?

Others don't care about this, since the head coach has spoken, they all dispersed.

For a while, only Duke and D'Antoni were left in the entire training hall.

D'Antoni came over, looked at Duke who was still planning to continue training, and said:

"I believe you are very clear about today's situation. As a coach, I can force them to obey my tactics, but that will only backfire and make them feel that you are purely a relationship."

"A real leader is to prove with your own strength that you can lead them to win one victory after another, and let them swarm you as a leader spontaneously."

"Go back and prepare well. Tomorrow I will conduct a team training match. Use your actions to tell them that you are worthy of being their leader."

Duke thought about it.

......

On the Internet that day, social media exposed the contradictions within the team.

"The Knicks are in strife! Xinke Tanhualang abused Nate Robinson."

"Nate Robinson brought shame on himself, Tanhualang proved his strength!"

"Duke as the core? Is D'Antoni too hasty!"

"Barkley: The Knicks' season has come to an end."

......

Seeing the conflicts within the team exposed in the media, Duke sighed deeply.

Apart from the good news that this team has established itself as the core, everything else really sucks.

Even what happened in the team's training was disclosed to the reporters, which is really inappropriate.

Also, what's up with this messy Barkley?Want to kiss a donkey's ass again?
