Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Li's hunch was correct...

Early the next morning, Zuo Li received a call from the new Knicks head coach D'Antoni. As for why they had not met or contacted before, it was naturally because D'Antoni only took office half a month ago...

Donnie Wash is still very skillful. D'Antoni just left the Suns and he made a move. He made a big move. You must know that D'Antoni, who created miracles in the Suns, is still very popular in the coaching market. He can come to the Knicks.

, Donnie Wash has worked hard.

Combined with his surprising trade of the No. 2 pick, the completion of the trade with the Bulls, and the entire summer's operation to free up salary space.

Donny Wash's ability speaks for itself.

Zuo Li also had this consideration in choosing to come to the Knicks at this time. In his previous life, after taking office, he faced the dilemma of a junk contract and no draft picks. However, this highly capable general manager gave the Knicks' salary space after several transactions.

It opened up, and in the future, Anthony and Stoudemire were brought in through operations.

So Donny Wash has good abilities, but he is too unlucky and has a mediocre eye for people. He only knows how to pile up superstars, but does not know how to solve puzzles in the free market.

In Zuo Li's view, the most powerful general managers are all masters of puzzles. There are so many players in the market, and fame sometimes doesn't determine everything. Even five superstars sometimes fail. Sometimes one or two superstars are paired with a group of champions.

Jigsaw puzzles can have extraordinary effects.

In Zuo Li's opinion, Donny Wash has this potential.

The most important thing is that he is friendly. Among all the previous Knicks general managers, he is the most friendly person. This is enough.

As for selecting people, once Zuo Li has enough say, he will naturally intervene. The presence of Donnie Wash also meets Zuo Li's needs.

Zuo Li's goal is to show his own value this season, so as to gain greater influence and voice, and he needs to be tough himself.

Even though Dolan is easy to talk to now, if Zuo Li is defeated, he will never be merciful when driving Zuo Li away.

Of course, Zuo Li wouldn't give him a chance.

However, D'Antoni's call still gave Zuo Li enough confidence, because D'Antoni's first words were: "Zuo Li, I am going to let you be the core!"

Although this is the consensus of Zuo Li and Dolan, it feels different to hear this from the head coach. After all, the head coach in the locker room has the final say.

However, D'Antoni also expressed his concerns: "There are many old guys in the team now, and they... are not easy to talk to."

Well, it's hard to talk. D'Antoni is indeed a gentle-tempered head coach. Look at how tactfully he said it. He looked like he had been in elementary school.

Not only are these guys hard to talk to, they are also pure thorns. Richardson, Zach Randolph, and Eddy Curry have long been notorious for being difficult to deal with. Except for Zach Randolph,

In the future, Grizzly Bear had an epiphany for some reason, but the other two were still the same.

However, this kind of person is useful if used well. A team cannot be tough enough. If such a player can be used well, it will be like Rodman to the Bulls and will be of great help to the team.

In the previous generation, D'Antoni's choice was to endure it for a season, and then trade it all away. But now, Zuo Li is here.

"Don't worry, coach, I know what to do." Zuo Li said.

"Well, that's good. Don't worry, I will tailor tactics for you. You are our future." D'Antoni nodded, thinking that yellow people are much easier to communicate with than those black guys. Just understand, no.

Just endure it for one year. If you endure this year, in the future, the sea will be vast, fish will leap high into the sky, and birds will fly.

But obviously, D'Antoni misunderstood...

Tolerate?

When did this word appear in Zuo Li's dictionary!

Since time traveling, when has he ever needed to endure!

So two hours later, Zuo Li arrived at the Madison Square Garden training facility, where the Knicks players for the new season were gathering. It was still an hour and a half before the official gathering time.

He was not the first to arrive. There were already many people in the court shooting baskets. There was a big fat man on the side of the court. Needless to say, it was Zach Randolph.

From this perspective, we can know that there is a reason why the Knicks cannot play well. Their training attitude is really bad. You are not a bug like O'Neal. You don't need to train to be at a historical level. What about you?

But before he could enter, Zuo Li was stopped by someone.

"Zuo Li, here!" The visitor waved his hand familiarly.

"Little Ewing, why don't you go in?" Zuo Li said. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise. Little Ewing was just drafted and became a trade addition. He just came here today, although he has been playing in the stadium next door since he was a child.

.

"Well, isn't it easy to do things with so many people?" Little Ewing scratched his head; "I heard that these people are not easy to get along with, so my dad just asks me to follow you."

"Okay, okay, then you follow me and we go in together." Zuo Li nodded.

The reason why little Ewing can't fight has been found. He is so cowardly. The disadvantage of being born into a rich family is that you are afraid of being a father with Ewing. You don't have the consciousness to be a second generation.

But it's not bad. Zuo Li is worried about not having a pony, and little Ewing is just right.

"Walk."

The two of them pushed the door open together and went in.

And just now, the people on the court were discussing Zuo Li, a new and influential figure. They were naturally full of curiosity and... disdain for Zuo Li!

Aren't you just a rookie? No matter how awesome you are, you are still a rookie. Just wait and see if we can correct you and you will be finished!

"I heard that kid is very good at fighting." Richardson.

"Tch, he's just as capable as he is. He's just a rookie. When he gets on the court, he knows he's a weakling." Randolph shook his head disdainfully, not forgetting to show off his arms that were covered in fat. Don't say

, quite powerful.

"He is probably the new core of the team."

"Then it depends on whether he can beat me. When I was playing, he was still a scumbag. He still wanted to compete with me for the ball. You see, I just ignored him and it was over!" Eddy Curry is the most popular.

It's very annoying. He has been the starting center for several seasons, and now his position has been directly taken away by a rookie. Naturally, he is very dissatisfied.

"Okay, then we will let our No. 1 pick feel the warmth of the newcomer, hahahaha!"

At this time, Zuo Li came in. Little Ewing was just trying to find a corner to wait for the coach to arrive. Zuo Li walked over directly, sat down next to Randolph, and started typing in a familiar voice:

"Hey, you're all here. You came quite early. It's because the nightclubs in New York aren't attractive, or maybe you're weak."

"It's so ecstatic to lie down. Did you change the vacation indoors?"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and Randolph was dumbfounded. This kid must be a fool. He provoked him directly when he came here. What is going on? He is still a rookie.

"Fuck!" Randolph immediately thought of it, but Zuo Li directly held his shoulder down. Then Randolph found that he couldn't break free. He felt a shock in his heart and looked at Zuo Li in shock.

"This power is a bit big..."

Zuo Li gave him a smile and turned his head: "I said, I am here to be the boss. Who supports and who opposes?!"
