The rest is just noise

After meeting with the players, Louis basically understood their physical condition.

Wilson and Ewing both played on the Dream Team and practiced with the best players in the world all summer, which certainly helped them maintain their competitive form.

Louis had no worries about either of them.

After Stockton was dropped from the Dream Team due to injury, he spent half of his time recuperating from his injury and the other half to resume training.

Both he and Bird are the kind of people who don't like the spotlight and like to hide themselves during the offseason, so the specific situation can only be confirmed during the competition.

Reggie Miller/Williams are recovering well.

For other veteran players like Stevens, Rodman, and Selley, Louis basically has a handle on their situations.

Selly's figure is obviously not as thick as the others, which is the effect of vegetarianism.

Stevens will be 31 years old after the new year. As one of the souls of the team, his role cannot be fully reflected through his performance on the court.

Like Danny Ainge and Chris Jackson, one is a veteran in a contract year and will basically retire after completing his current contract, and the other is disappointed with himself after having a dream sophomore season.

His faith became more and more devout and he was determined to embrace the Lord for his third season.

The four new rookies: Yu Tiancan, Wang Mukong, Christie, and Matt Stegenga are considered key figures in continuing the Knicks dynasty.

People believe that there is no eternal dynasty, but if the Knicks can replace old and new players before their personnel ages, it will be possible to maximize the continuation of the team's heyday.

"We surpassed the Celtics in the 1980s last season and became the first team to win five consecutive championships in the merger era." Louis said to the players, "We should not be satisfied with this. From now on, we will win five consecutive championships."

Let’s aim for six consecutive championships.”

In terms of the quality of his speech, Louis's words were not surprising.

It's not Louis' style to hit the chicken blood from the beginning.

"After that, we will hold the annual Knicks intra-squad draft."

Louis mainly introduces the rules to newcomers.

"You will be divided into two teams, one team will join Patrick's team, and the other team will join Benj's team."

"It should be noted that you have no choice. Only Patrick and Benj can decide who goes to their team."

Through guessing, Wilson won the first choice qualification.

In the 1992-93 season, the Knicks' first pick in the draft was Shawn Kemp.

"Benj, Guanxiao is Patrick's true love. Are you considered winning someone's love?"

Louis didn't expect Wilson's first choice to be Rodman.

Kemp is Ewing's man, and everyone in the team knows this. Since his rookie season, he has gone to Georgetown University to train every summer. This year, Ewing went to the Dream Team, and Kemp still went to Georgetown.

Practice with Mutombo and Mourning.

Through Ewing's relationship, Kemp has been regarded as one of his own by players from Georgetown University.

Such a die-hard ally was actually robbed by Wilson?

"I just wanted to change my style," Wilson said.

Then Louis saw Rodman's green head. He seemed to have told Wilson that green in China means cheating with someone.

Maybe Rodman's hair reminded him of his father-in-law days in high school, so he made the temporary decision to let Kemp join his team?

Wilson can steal Kemp, and Ewing can also steal Rodman.

Ewing's second and third choices were Rodman and Stockton respectively.

"Benj, I will destroy your team with Patrick!" Rodman was very dissatisfied with Wilson for not selecting him with the "No. 1 pick".

Wilson's second and third picks were very pragmatic. They took Miller first and then Yu Tiancan. In this way, except for the No. 1 position, they had players in the other four positions.

Ewing's fourth and fifth picks decisively selected Reggie Williams and Stevens.

Wilson's fifth and sixth picks were Chris Jackson and John Salley.

After that, both teams selected Ainge (Ewing) and Christie (Wilson) respectively. In addition to McHale, who was recovering from injury, there were two rookies who were not selected.

Every year's preseason training camp team draft is a good opportunity to understand the relationships within the Knicks.

Except for Wilson intercepting Camp Nou this year, Ewing was forced to choose someone like Rodman who did not follow the routine. The other choices basically selected players who were close to him.

As for Ewing, the likes of Stevens, Stockton, and Williams are either old teammates or juniors from Georgetown. They are all best friends among best friends.

The same is true for Wilson's choice. Rodman and Selley, who have the best relationship with him on the team, are both in the same grade. Miller is a senior at UCL, Jackson is a freak that Louis values ​​​​and Yu Tiancan is Louis' latest "big brother".

baby".

In addition to Wilson's own best friends, the teammates he selected were basically Louis' "hearts".

From this point of view, he is a person who is very good at pleasing the head coach.

"In 10 minutes, the first intra-squad match of the new season will be held."

"Please take the time to prepare."

Since there were newcomers on both teams, Louis wanted to see how Christie and Yu Tiancan would perform in the Knicks' high-intensity intra-team competition, so he was not in a hurry to leave as usual.

"headmaster."

Wang Mukong came over and wanted to say a few words.

"Just call me coach here." Louis corrected.

"Okay, coach." Wang Mukong didn't beat around the bush. As the "last pick" in this year's draft, he knew that it would take a lot of effort to gain a foothold in the NBA.

As a team with an extremely deep lineup, the Knicks have much higher requirements for bench players than other teams.

How do you get a foothold in New York?

"What do I have to do to be selected by them?" Wang Mukong also wanted to join the competition.

Louis smiled and said: "I don't have any advice to give you. Let's watch them finish a match first."

Since Wang Mukong plays in d2, Louis has not watched his game videos.

According to Zhao Yuanzheng's description, his style of play sounds like two famous mid-range shooting kings-Hamilton and Alan Houston.

However, even if he wants to become the bankrupt version of these two people, Wang Mukong will need to make efforts that ordinary people cannot imagine.

When the intra-team competition began, Wang Mukong began to correctly understand Louis' words.

Let’s watch a match first.

He only watched it for a few minutes and felt that if he appeared in the game, he would be taken away by the team doctor within a few rounds.

From a physical contact point of view, this is simply too violent.

Who will play intra-squad matches with the intensity of the finals?

Moreover, the source of this intensity is clear.

It was Wilson and Ewing whose competitiveness and antagonism caused their teammates to engage in extreme physical confrontation.

When Ewing squeezed away Yu Tiancan's body, pulled up from the basket and dunked, he spat out a trash talk: "Rookie, welcome to New York!"

"That's amazing. Is this the number one center forward?"

Yu Tiancan tried to flatter Ewing in exchange for his tenderness.

"Xiao Yu, don't think that if you say a few nice words, he will show mercy to you." Louis said cruelly, "That orangutan has no understanding of human nature." (Chinese)

As the fourth pick, Yu Tiancan has no cards in the Knicks team.

Not to mention that Wilson and Ewing are both No. 1 picks, most of the other players, even if their draft picks are not high, have major honors.

Parallel lotteries are common. How many of them have champions with rings on their hands?

Therefore, Yu Tiancan has no chance to attack with the ball. Fortunately, this is not what he is best at.

He spent four years at Wake Forest becoming an all-around big man.

Thibodeau said that he is Schmitz who has weakened his offense but strengthened his body. Louis doesn't agree with that.

He is more like Duncan who has grown 10 centimeters taller but has poor skills.

Like Duncan, he's well-rounded.

But he is different from Duncan. He does not have the perfect basic skills like Duncan.

Although he has rare mobility at a height of 2.2 meters, his body coordination is average and he has a bad feel for the ball. Therefore, even if he has the skills, the feeling is not smooth, just like silicone breasts, which are visibly hard to the naked eye.

.

Fortunately, the flaws on the offensive end will not affect his prospects.

He has first-rate pick-and-roll quality.

Chris Jackson twice used his body as a screen to shoot with the ball from the outside.

Yu Tiancan's pick-and-roll can stably catch the opponent, and even an experienced player like Stockton will find it difficult to force his way through.

Moreover, Yu Tiancan is a regional coordinator.

What is a regional coordinator? He means that he has the ability to support, but the ability to respond is different in different positions.

In the high position above the free throw line, Yu Tiancan's support ability is top-notch in the league. He can hand-off to outside players, can send the ball to the wing players cutting in from the wings, and he also has an unpredictable hook pass-sometimes

It's a hook, sometimes it's a pass.

This ability to respond gives him great tactical development value.

However, if you go to the low position, or the high position on the left and right wings, Yu Tiancan's support ability is not so conspicuous, and can only be regarded as average.

This was the characteristic he showed in the small half of the match. Later, due to normal rotation, he was replaced by Selly, and the data he obtained was 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
