NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 107: A group of rookies in full swing! New York at four o'clock in the morning!

Chapter 107: A group of rookies with full power! New York at four in the morning!

Compared with Curry's configuration, the height of Harden's court suddenly dropped as soon as he came on the court.

Instead, he became the tallest in the backcourt and directly acted as a point guard. Facing the opponent's defender, he would continuously change the rhythm of his hips to score points. He showed off his college skills in his own zone to continuously carry the ball in the semi-open position.

Score points with a fadeaway jump shot.

After the young Blazers made a mistake, they also sent an invisible half-court bomb pass to assist the rookie speed king Mills to get a layup. It smelled like Ginobili!

"These two are the future."

Sean Marks watched intoxicatedly, not to mention the level of his opponent, but the enjoyment of the game after these two got the ball respectively was amazing!

Everyone has experienced the youthful days of Kobe, Iverson, and Tracy McGrady. Compared to them, these two young Knicks seem to be better at passing the ball. If this is practiced, it will be even more powerful than superstar basketball.

"New York needs a defender like this!"

"Nate, I don't love you anymore, haha!"

"Yes, Mills seems to be no slower than Nate, just like a small spinning top."

The fans are very comfortable to watch. Arrow players can score and pass and control. Compared with various singles, these smooth open goals from time to time make the game more enjoyable. You can imagine how many such balls will be played after the Knicks play at home.

Called.

When everyone was watching Harden show off his moves.

Here Jiang Chao has already gone to pay attention to the little black bald man.

This man who returned from the Fighting Nations League has been diligently biting the opponent's shooting guard on the court, doing dirty work that the fans cannot see.

This is Beverly.

From the moment he first entered the league, he has been playing Beverley-style defense.

Moreover, Jiang Chao found that he never reached out for the ball on the offensive end, but kept running to disrupt the opponent's defense, and would not run towards the ball holder.

On the defensive end, he was like a vicious dog staring at an unknown white defender on the opposite side. The NCAA guy on the opposite side was so scared that he was a mad dog. He was really sticking to him without moving a step.

In order to cherish this hard-won NBA opportunity, Beverley always stuck to his defender like candy in Summer League.

And he is worthy of being the man who influenced the direction of Westbrook's career. Sometimes it's really scary to watch some of his moves.

Pushing the knee, hiding the elbow, pinching the waist, actively exerting force with both hands, and defending the shot in three ways, making the opponent almost wither...

A man like this who does dirty work is really only happy when he is on his own team. If his opponent has such a player, Jiang Chao may die from a headache.

He doesn't take possession of the ball, can defend, and has the ability to make open 3-pointers, which is really cool.

"Wow, this kid reminds me of Bowen."

The moment the opponent's guard was about to pull up for a jumper, Beverley suddenly rushed forward and made a move that looked like he was going to poke Didi. The opponent was startled, and he missed the shot and made an air jump error!

"Every team needs a player like this. I didn't expect this kid who doesn't have well-developed muscles and isn't rough enough to defend so fiercely."

"He is just a dog." Jiang Chao said with a smile.

"You can develop into a defensive master."

Mills, another biting guard, had a lot of time today, but his three-point shooting percentage was impressive.

None of the three-pointers he received from Harden in the corner were scored.

Jiang Chao didn't panic at all. Mi Shen is a player with a big heart. He may have missed the first 10 three-pointers, but he can give his opponent a heavy blow at the critical moment.

After all, he was the man who shot over 40% from the field during the Spurs' playoff years.

"A second-round pick has a long-term contract with the boss?"

Sean Marks asked as he watched the game.

"Well, give it, five years."

"OK."

Although Sean Marks feels in his heart that some of these guards will definitely fall behind and be laid off after the season, but since the boss is so confident and the buyout money is not much, he should be prepared.

Generally speaking, general managers will not give second-round contracts like this. If you get a long-term contract in the second round, it is like picking up rags. In the world, you think it is a treasure, but in fact it is just rags and you have kept it for so many years.

Judging from today's performance, Beverley, who was selected by the Knicks in the second round, is a must. Mills' speed is okay, but his shooting percentage is impressive, but the water dispenser looks good and he can wave the towel very well.

On the contrary, North Carolina captain Danny Green's performance was mediocre and he had no sense of presence on the court. This kind of thing is usually given for one year at most. How strong can he be if he plays again??

He is right. Danny Green had a very miserable life in the early stages of his career. He had not found his position at all. Even in the later stages, his annual salary was tens of millions.

But I can’t bear to make a long-term contract now for the cheaper price.

Moreover, deputy general manager D'Antoni likes this kind of academic guard very much. He has a body, a wingspan, and a good body shape. He is very useful in both offense and defense in fast breaks. He has the best static talent among the second-round picks.

Jiang Chao thinks the same way. Everyone knows Huang Ama’s three-pointers, but they don’t know that his fast-break assist defense is world-class. His position can block Curry’s three-pointers, and his fast break is a man who can chase down Curry and score among the top ten goals.

.

Looking at Sean Marks' abacus, Jiang Chao knew that he was going to do some digging again.

But he just likes this kind of manager.

Who made him become an evil capitalist? The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.

It’s so exciting to have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands to do work worth tens of millions!

Beverley's mental attributes are still on display. When he was replaced by Clifford, his voice could be heard in the audience:

"I have plenty of strength, I can still fight!"

"Sit down and be obedient."

Clifford directly patted his butt and asked him to sit down, and Matthews came on stage.

Beverly sat on the chair with steam all over her body and her eyes were fierce, causing the elementary school student next to her to act like a good boy and stop chatting with Turk Drew next to her.

"Huh, it's a good thing he doesn't criticize his teammates."

Jiang Chao was really happy to see this scene. In later generations, Brother Gou was a famous stadium jet, and he dared to criticize anyone. There seemed to be no player in the team who was more trash-talking than him.

There must be someone in the team who is such a master of evasion. Once the taunting skill is activated, the opponent's morale will drop by half.

He is already looking forward to the Knicks vs. Lakers, okay? Will Beverley even dare to challenge Kobe?

"Hey! Boss, I want to ask a few questions."

At this moment, Curry’s agent came to Jiang Chao and asked cautiously:

"Boss, will you only give Curry so little time in the regular season in the future?"

Jiang Chao said directly:

"Don't worry about this, don't worry about playing time."

"Well, okay." Austin is concerned but confused. From an agent's perspective, he naturally hopes that Curry can have good statistics and his business value will also increase.

Harden's agent also hurriedly came over. He was worried that Matthews, who had played so well in the last few games, would become the core of the tactics and allow him to score points.

Jiang Chao shook his head speechlessly:

"Do you think it's possible? Then why should I choose Matthews directly without the lottery?"

"The last question...boss..."

Jiang Chao pointed to the field: "Don't be the last one."

Sure enough, even if Matthews, who can also perform excellent offense with the ball, came on the court, he would consciously open up space and run tactics after dribbling the ball a few times.

This is the unity within the team.

"How much money you get to do what you do, players know better than you agents." Sean Marks smiled and patted Austin on the shoulder. He has more contact with Austin than Curry.

"So, will the annual salary of our players be high?"

Both agents looked at Jiang Chao tentatively because Matthews' annual salary was ridiculously low.

"Just don't worry."

"What a ball, silky smooth!"

Just when the agents were about to test whether the Knicks would give the lottery a lot of annual salary, how many years, who would get more and who would get less, Downey Jr. suddenly stood up next to him and exclaimed.

I saw Harden running a pick-and-roll around Ibaka on the wing, and suddenly he pulled the ball from behind and changed direction, knocking him away.

When preparing for a jump shot, the opponent's center came over to block the shot.

Harden's big eyes aimed at the frame, and he faked a shot that suddenly hit the center and hit the basket. He took off with his left hand and glided for a dunk!

Immediately strike with the sword, General Ha!

Harden showed his unparalleled athletic ability as a rookie!

After landing, Harden's chest showed muscles with an angry hammer, and he had the feeling of a leader.

The entire bench stood up and shouted, and Beverley hilariously stopped Curry and others from rushing onto the court.

Casino commentary:

"Our basket is going to be fucked to death!! In the third quarter, Curry flip-floped the ball and blasted it, and in the fourth quarter, Harden started to destroy the basket again."

"The two men's continuous bombardment keeps the Knicks' firepower alive!"

"The two of you will lead the team separately from now on!"

"This kid's style of play is so lovable!"

"Thunder, do you regret it?"

Not...

In fact, on another field, Chandler, Harrington, and Nate were also killing each other in Summer League. Nate Robinson played a Summer League MVP-level performance, but Jiang Chao didn't care at all. You want to show off.

Maybe people don't know at all.

"Win-win! Congratulations to the Knicks for having two new cores!"

Thunder fans are also very satisfied with this deal. Harden is very strong, but with this style of play, there are only two players on the team.

But Harden made them regret it again in the next round.

When the pick-and-roll is not tight, he backs up and uses his body to exert force. He relies on the inertia of his body to take a step back and quickly changes the direction of the ball to his right hand with his left hip.

When everyone thought it was time to stop the ball or take action.

While Harden sent the ball directly to his left hand with his right hand, he took a big step back with his left foot and took a fadeaway mid-range shot.

The opponent's defender came up and didn't even cover his eyes, and the ball hit the net smoothly.

"Step back for two points!!"

"It's so smooth now!"

"Wow, wow, wow, we've overtaken the Trail Blazers. Don't stop practicing martial arts just because the Trail Blazers didn't win the lottery!"

"This is the power of youth! Is Kobe Bryant left-handed?"

The main players on the Trail Blazers didn't want to watch. It didn't feel good to see young people bullying their third-team players like this and not being able to play. It was impossible for them to play again to chase points in this kind of game. The Knicks had two full-time players.

None of the main stars were on the field.

"No more playing."

The Trail Blazers head coach called a timeout and replaced Blake, the last rotating traditional point guard on the court, saying that he would not play.

The Knicks don’t talk about martial ethics. You don’t play like this when the main players of both sides are there in the first quarter, but you insist on playing against our young people in the third formation??

And by cultivating the two lottery players as the core ball-handlers, is this directly looking for a way out for Turk Drew to leave in the future?

If they were to change teams, they would definitely be led by Turk Drew first. They would do their shooting or pure breakthrough first, and then the organization would be handed over to Turk Drew.

"He really plays like Kobe Bryant."

"Being a little thinner, I can pass the ball better." Ade and Oden were also discussing. DeRozan, who they met with the Raptors in the last game, felt that this kid looked like Kobe enough. Unexpectedly, DeRozan's good friend Harden

He also fought so well.

"There is a reason why they show No. 3!"

"Hey, try double-teaming him once!"

Oden and others also wanted to see how strong Harden's breakthrough points were, so they grabbed two players and said.

Once again, the Blazers double-teamed Harden as he ran toward the free throw line. Harden deftly passed the ball behind his left hand to Matthews, who was actively following up behind him.

Matthews didn't care about that, he just took three steps to take off the tomahawk after receiving the ball, pressed the rim and dunked it in.

"I'll go..."

"This undrafted draft pick is also very powerful, how about Serena Williams?"

"Why are the Knicks such a group of fierce young people?"

"Harden basically doesn't look at people when passing the ball. Have you noticed it?"

This goal made Jiang Chao stand up and applaud.

Handsome, Brother Deng.

One person is the system. Deng's ability to play the ball is very strong when faced with double teams. He did not use any tactics in this round, but he relied on his personal ability to pass a chance.

Those who have this ability in their rookie season have become superstars later on.

Curry also made a similar pass in the third quarter, but Curry's pass was too wild and his teammates didn't catch it.

"With these twin stars, what more can I ask for!"

If the previous goals were scored by various pick-and-roll and semi-tactical tactics, this goal is completely a spiritual superstar. Jiang Chao is also an old fan. Every time he sees this kind of ball, he can't help but fly up.

Not to mention watching it live.

This kind of double-teaming muscles against the silky pass and dunk is as exciting as the lover of your dreams suddenly appearing in front of you and giving you a spa treatment.

If it could be played in Madison Garden Arena, wouldn't it be an instant climax?

"No wonder Scarlett wants my front-row season tickets. For women, this male hormone is more likely to be excited."

Jiang Chao relaxed and enjoyed the exciting atmosphere in the second half, and the problems in the first half were solved well in the second half.

As for the coexistence of the two irons in 2009, he actually had an idea in his head, but he couldn't explain it clearly in a short time.

You know, in the real regular season, it was the two quasi-stars David Lee and Okur who were partnering with the 09 double iron. They were veterans who had really proven themselves in the NBA! The effect may be even more explosive!

Who is not a dunk king anymore? (Note: David Lee was the dunk king in college)

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Knicks also switched to a pure 3 formation. Matthews stood up at this time, he can also attack with the ball, and he has the taste of a garbage time MVP.

Jiang Chao also received the data sheet handed over by Downey Jr.

The player with the highest statistics in the game was Beverley, who played 32 minutes, 23.

Can he outscore his opponent by 23 points while he's on the court?

Harden is 11, Curry is almost 10.

The top scorers were Harden with 25 points and 7 assists, and Curry with 19 points and 6 assists.

Harden and Curry looked at Jiang Chao behind them on the bench. Jiang Chao smiled and shouted:

"Don't look at it. You're playing well. Keep up the good work."

Compared to the seriousness in the first half, his smile in the second half made the two rookies feel warm and innocent.

The two also communicated with the young commander:

"We feel it's better to be apart."

Young Marshal: "That's because your physical fitness is reserved for singles in the first quarter."

Harden touched his head and asked tentatively: "Can we play like this from now on? It's so cool! The three guards play so fast and so cool!"

Curry struggled for a while. Although he also tasted the benefits, he couldn't really be without him in the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, right?

He really likes to play in the final big scene, so why give it to Harden in the fourth quarter? It would have been the other way around, but that would be unrealistic.

It is true that staying physically fit for one session will increase the success rate of various things, but again, everyone wants to end the game for the team in the end.

Stevens glanced at Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao convinced the players how correct his request was. This was already the best tactical execution.

But the most difficult thing is still left to him, that is the human heart.

After all, this is not a sandbox game. Players have their own opinions.

"I will tell you about the boss's spring theory in a few days. Everything in Summer League is in the trial stage now. It is impossible for you to play like this in the regular season. Let's wait for our internal arrangements and you can implement them well," the young marshal said.

.

"OK!"

"Follow the instructions of the coaching staff!"

The two of them looked at the guys in suits at the end of the bench. With them here, Kuha would definitely not be able to play like this today, but they still liked this feeling too much.

Turk Drew said with Da Q and the others next to him:

"Don't worry you rookies, our goal is to win. As long as you guys can win, we have no problem with personal sacrifice. Let's refine our skills. The regular season is not a competition at this level."

"Thank you for your guidance, brother!" Beverley and other rookies nodded. The team's ecology is very good.

Sean Marks shouted from behind:

"Hey, Beverly, don't act like a gangster, get back to your position."

"Okay boss, oh no, general manager!"

"Stop looking, stop looking, we can go down."

Jiang Chao saw that these young people were looking at the management behind them to ask for credit, so they all walked down to the bench and sat down.

Also, these young guys have produced the best data since the Summer League. There will definitely not be so many opportunities when the main players come back in the future, so it is normal to claim credit.

"Hey, hey, brothers, have you figured out your jersey number? Don't crash."

At this time, Curry was already chatting. He was the first to say that No. 30 was his.

"Okay, is it because your dad also wears the No. 30 jersey?"

Curry opened his eyes wide: "Yes! My brother, I also wore the No. 30 jersey in college!"

"What about Harden, will you also choose jersey No. 13 in the future? This is an unlucky number in the eyes of us Chinese." Jiang Chao smiled and had a heart-to-heart talk with the players for the first time.

"nononono." Harden wiped his sweat and pointed at the number 13 with orange letters on a white background:

"The number 13 also represents unlucky in the West, but I believe I can turn it into luck. At that time, the university only had the number 13 to choose from every day, so I chose it. Many people think that the number 13 is a symbol of bad luck.

It will bring bad luck. But for me and my family, this number is incredible."

"I'll turn it into good luck!"

"Have ambition."

Speaking of which, Harden led Arizona State to a record of 21 wins and 13 losses in his freshman year. At that time, the number 13 was even on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

At this time, Jiang Chao turned around and asked Ah Lian, who was sitting silently behind him:

"A-Lian, what about you, do you choose to go back to No. 11 or continue to No. 9?"

Yi Jianlian also replied in low Mandarin:

"It must be No. 9. Can't we keep No. 11? Haha."

"Hahahaha, okay." The two looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang Chao fist-bumped with him:

"Okay, then you can continue on No. 9."

The reason why the UAE is number 9 is the same as the two lottery players. The first time he played in a professional high school league, he wore the number 9, so he also felt that it would bring him good luck.

"Chat more with your teammates. Everyone here is talented and speaks well. You will like it."

"Okay, I will get used to it slowly." Ah Lian scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks today. This was only the 20 minutes he played, which completely proved that he was worthy of Jiang Chao's extra 5 million.

"Didn't any of you choose number 24?"

After listening to it, 13, 14, 15 are all there, and there is also No. 8, but no one chooses No. 24. No. 23 is Matthews on the court. Jiang Chao asked with a smile.

"If you don't choose, there's only one Kobe, so let's forget it." Harden said plainly.

In fact, starting from Kobe's No. 24, anyone who wears this jersey on the field must be awesome and under a lot of pressure. It is better to avoid invisibly shackles on oneself, otherwise it is easy to be criticized for showing off.

"Don't you want to see New York at 4 o'clock in the morning?"

“Want to see it!!”

"I've seen it, the Empire State Building is very dark!"

"Is there Spider-Man up there?"

"That's Batman, you fake fan!"

"DC and Marvel will eventually have a battle!"

"When will we organize a 4 o'clock training? To satisfy the boss's wish?"

"I don't want to die suddenly!"

"Can't you just sleep in and train hard...4 o'clock training is unscientific." Data man Mills is never absent.

Jiang Chao: "Just give me a lesson. Don't take me with you. I don't play ball. I just sleep in."

Curry: "Ah!! I also want to ask the boss for some moves."

Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously: "Is this something you can ask for if you want? I will teach you later based on your performance."

When he said this, it seemed as if he really knew how to train players. Harden became interested and directly stated that he would train at 4 o'clock in the morning. He only asked Jiang Chao to come and watch his individual training.

"Okay, okay, let me say one last thing. There is no one who is lucky or unlucky with the jersey number. We are very scientific. There are no unique geniuses in this world. If there are, they are only 1% of the talents."

"And 99% sweat!"

Curry responded and said that he has felt his own shortcomings this time. His body and even Matthews can't bear it. This is definitely not the strength to play in the NBA.

"Yes, the elementary school student is right. If everyone relies on talent, then why bother working hard? Right."

Yi Jianlian looked at the boss from the side and felt that his body was shining. Why was it so easy to listen to his lectures? He said that he now wanted to practice for two more hours.

Harden’s eyes shine:

"I want to strive to perform like an NBA star starting, holding the basketball 24 hours a day!"

Jiang Chao hit him on the shoulder, which shocked Harden inexplicably.

In fact, Jiang Chao was thinking about you, when you were being fucked by Kardashian's big ass, could you also be thinking about basketball? You're just kidding in front of me!

It seems that not every player really has the spirit that Kobe had when he was a rookie in Los Angeles at 4 a.m. every day.

With a player like Kobe, a team can take off.

But Jiang Chao believes that his operations will not be worse than when Kobe was just starting. They have a bunch of rookies, but they are all the future.

Although the current players on the team do not have the achievements of future generations to match Kobe, the history of the first three-point champion and the legendary single-season scoring champion are not covered.

He just doesn't know if he will produce such data again in the Knicks, but he believes that with the protection of his boss, he should be able to fly higher and further.

He doesn't force things in New York at four o'clock in the morning.

Just don’t go to the Queen Bar at four in the morning.

At least at this moment, the strongest shooting guard of the new generation in the future is sitting next to him excitedly talking about his ideals...

The future No. 1 three-point shooter is still looking for like-minded people to train at four in the morning.

"How much do you bench press now, Stephen?" Jiang Chao signaled him to stop nagging.

"xxx."

"Then your journey is still early. In the future, I hope you will be first in the team in bench press."

"ah??????"
