NBA: This Center Is So Stable

Chapter 115

The new season is coming, and the new season is coming.

Chapter 115 D’Antoni’s recast guard system

New York!

The Knicks players who returned to New York could no longer contain their excitement and were ready to organize a carnival party.

But before they left the airport, they had a surprise.

The airport exit was crowded with New York fans, holding up light boards and celebration signs waiting for them.

The bus back to the stadium was surrounded by people. Faced with such enthusiastic home fans, the players and coaching staff set aside some time to sign autographs and take photos with the fans.

“Good guy! If it weren’t for the dazzling number of 18 consecutive wins, I would have thought we won the championship!”

Herb Sendek couldn’t help but sigh.

Even though this college coach from North Carolina had seen the grand scene of winning the finals, he was still a little surprised by this airport reception ceremony.

D’Antoni smiled faintly and consciously slowed down his pace with Herb Sendek.

The Knicks players walked out of the player tunnel first.

Almost every Knicks player was surrounded by fans and asked for autographs when he walked out.

Even Kurt Thomas, who has always been an inconspicuous character in the league, has received enough attention. Countless young female fans flocked to him and rushed to ask him for autographs, which made Kurt, who has always been a small transparent person in the team, very excited.

Until Wang Song walked out from the end of the team, his unique skin color and height were very recognizable. For a while, screams came one after another, and crazy fans rushed up.

Seeing the sudden situation, Herb Sendek in the back row rushed forward to guide the enthusiastic fans.

The Knicks bench was also dumbfounded. The fans who had just surrounded them suddenly became scattered.

They looked at Wang Song with envy!

Now the most popular player of the New York Knicks is no longer Alan Houston, nor the soul guard traded from Dallas.

But this talented center selected by the Knicks from the NCAA!

18 consecutive wins!

This may be just a long season for many giants, but for the New York Knicks, a team with not much background, it is enough to make the fans of the whole city crazy.

And this record has not come to an end. It may continue in Madison Square Garden or other away games. This Knicks is still making history, but that is not so important to New York fans. What they want to see is a new Knicks, a strong team that can live up to their real money.

In the past 30 years, the Knicks have not won that trophy.

Now they finally see a glimmer of hope. The dominance shown by the Knicks in the regular season is enough to prove that they are a team with competitiveness to win the championship.

Wang Song is the key to the Knicks’ competitiveness, so it’s no surprise that New York fans praise this guy.

···

The next day.

The Knicks coaching staff gave the players a half-day off, allowing them to rest at home until they started training in the afternoon.

Wang Song knew that this was a reward for the away victory!

In front of the winner, everything seemed to be a happy occasion.

After waking up at home, Wang Song, who hadn’t eaten Chinese food for a long time, made himself a bowl of fried egg noodles to fill his stomach, and then opened his system panel.

Host: Wang Song

Height: 213cm

Weight: 97kg

Badges: [Finishing Master], [Fast Break Initiator], [Elite Rebounder], [Elite Rim Protector] – Silver Badge

[Currently Available Experience Value: 19320]

The consecutive away games made him have no time to take care of the panel attributes. Fortunately, the mid-range shooting attribute was maxed out in the previous game, allowing him to play in the game against the Mavericks.

Now it seems that the steady experience value is another huge number.

Originally, Wang Song was still thinking about the next main attack direction before the away trip, but after the game with the Mavericks, Wang Song suddenly realized it.

He directly exchanged all 19 attribute points and added them to the back-up, and the back-up attribute jumped to 99.

The matchup with Nowitzki made him realize that if a center wants to survive in the NBA, where there are so many fierce beasts, he must improve his post-up skills.

Whether it is offense or defense, as the game progresses, his related skills will improve

His characteristics and habits were exposed. His physical talent advantage can only make him a center who eats cakes. If he wants to hold the ball, he must work on his back.

Technical centers have always been popular in the NBA. Even if their physical fitness is no longer so strong in the later period, they can still gain a foothold in the league with their experience and footwork under the basket.

“The Dream” Olajuwon is a famous representative of this type of player!

And Dirk Nowitzki, who played against him in the last game, also made a good story in the NBA for 20 years with his shooting, low post and back-to-back skills.

After a long away trip, he returned to Madison Garden.

D’Antoni was recognized by a group of management led by Scott Layden. His coaching ability was fully demonstrated in this away trip. In the case of a shortage of personnel, he still helped the Knicks bring the winning streak back to New York.

However, D’Antoni, who returned to the position of head coach from assistant coach, was not satisfied with this.

Because he found that he still didn’t know the current New York Knicks thoroughly.

Before he arrived in New York, he thought the Knicks would be a traditional team built around the outside line, especially when reviewing the Knicks’ previous game videos, he could always see the brilliant performance of the backcourt duo of Alan Houston and Steve Nash.

Steve Nash and Alan Houston, the New York twin stars, complement each other on the outside line, and their positions on the court fit each other and there is no conflict.

But after playing these games in person, D’Antoni realized that the real pillar of the Knicks on the court was the rookie who needed to be cultivated.

The Chinese big man is growing at a visible speed, and in the game against the Mavericks, he showed his mid-range ability.

He is fully capable of becoming a top scorer in the interior, just like Steve Nash, but due to the previous arrangements of the Knicks coaching staff, the Knicks were unable to fully release this beast.

But in the game against the Mavericks, Wang Song’s exposed fangs made D’Antoni see the raging fire of this guy.

The so-called No. 1 center in the East has never been a compliment.

This 19-year-old rookie can do things that most people can’t imagine… such as running and gunning!

D’Antoni seemed to have seen the perfect answer to the running and gunning system in the interior, and he couldn’t wait to formulate some core tactics for this Asian big man to prove his own ideas.

Even D’Antoni didn’t realize that the guard system he had always followed had undergone earth-shaking changes.
