The Rest, Only Noise

Chapter 760: Who's not a champion yet

The Knicks set the location of this year's preseason training camp directly at the Blue Palace.

The coaching staff will generally arrive earlier than the players.

Louis came early.

After Doug Mo's arrival, Zhao Yuanzheng's functions have undergone some changes.

At the beginning, the team's defense was trained by Tomjanovich and Billy Donovan, and the offense was trained by Zhao Yuanzheng. Although he is not a professional offensive coach, he has a good sense of the field offense and can accurately identify problems.

Now, as soon as Mo came, Louis directly let Zhao Yuanzheng offload his job as an offensive coach to focus on managing the scouting department, formulating game plans, and his first assistant.

Sometimes, Zhao Yuanzheng is not like an assistant coach, he is more like a management executive.

In the entire coaching staff, except for Louis, only Zhao Yuanzheng wandered in various departments.

Now, Zhao Yuanzheng came to Louis's office to report on this summer.

"Although there has been a lot of noise from all parties, there is no large-scale deal except for the Lakers."

This is one of the more bizarre features of this offseason.

The Bulls' Barkley, the Blazers' Drexler, and the Celtics' Isiah Thomas all clamored for trades, and the team wanted to trade them, but the trades didn't happen.

They all want good assets, but where are there so many good assets?

During the period, Celtics general manager Jane Volcker even called the Knicks and offered to trade Thomas for Stockton + Rodman.

This kind of proposal to treat people as fools, Baylor didn't even have the idea of ​​giving feedback to Louis, and let people get away on the spot.

The attitude of the Blazers is the most subtle, they want to trade Drexler, but who to trade?

Barkley? The most important thing the Blazers lack is the wing.

Isiah Thomas? It's a good deal, but they don't need Thomas that much either. Because there is an above-average Terry Porter at the point guard position. Promoting Porter to Thomas is certainly a huge improvement, but they still have to deal with Porter's contract later on. And Porter has a good relationship with the big guys in the team, which involves all aspects of the world.

The Blazers and the Celtics are the Knicks' main rivals.

It would be good for the Knicks if they kept the bomb and didn't trade.

In this way, they only need to care about the Lakers enough.

The Lakers could be the winner of this year's signing season.

Dealing with Kevin Johnson as soon as the season ended, although he suffered a bit of a loss, the catch in free agency was enough to recover the loss.

The Lakers signed Jeff Hornacek to a seven-year, $14 million contract.

Signed Sam Perkins for six years and $21 million.

They made perfect use of the summer of the salary cap soaring, effectively bolstering the team's roster.

The Lakers' reinforcements are so strong that their lineup looks very strong.

The reinforcements of Perkins and Hornacek are both aimed at the losing points of the top finals.

Hornacek does not occupy the ball, can play two guard positions, and has tempered a powerful three-point shot in the Knicks; Perkins is the earliest space five in history, and can play double towers with David Robinson , can play high and low positions with Divac, and it is more suitable for a big ball-handling core like a tragic player who dreams of space.

"We won't play the Lakers in the finals three years in a row, right?" Louie asked with a smile.

Zhao Yuanzheng couldn't smile: "It's very possible."

"Yuanzheng, it's a good thing to have an opponent, be happy." Louis couldn't help but say when he saw Zhao Yuanzheng's bitter face.

"Actually, I'm not worried about the Lakers." Zhao Yuanzheng said, "I worry about ourselves."

"What happened to us?"

"Benj's new contract has a lot of unintended consequences."

"Oh, you said this."

Louie pulls out a Coke from the vending machine.

"Old Lu, don't you think the atmosphere of the Blue Palace has changed?" Zhao Yuanzheng asked.

What Zhao Yuanzheng was worried about, Louis had foreseen when Wilson signed that contract.

"Expedition, don't worry about internal changes. In fact, what I am most afraid of is that internal changes do not occur." Louis said unexpectedly, "A few years ago, our team was a bunch of recruits, and no one won their own in the league. Position, there is no salary cap as big as today, everyone is starting from zero. Moreover, we are also facing a behemoth like the Celtics. Now, we have become a behemoth ourselves, you, me, they are all champions The championship has the benefits of a championship, so Jeff signed a big contract, went to Los Angeles, and Benj will be the most earner in the league in the new season, why are they the only ones who can make big money? I believe everyone is still holding the old contract Everyone would think so.”

Zhao Yuanzheng listened silently, and suddenly asked, "Then, what should we do?"

"Wait and watch."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the Knicks all assembled.

Ewing, Stockton, Alex Stevens, Kevin McHale, Benjamin Wilson, John Selley, Rodman, Reggie Miller, Brad Rohaus, Danny Ainge , Sean Camp, Doug West, Reggie Williams, Elton Campbell, Lionel Simmons.

Even if the Lakers signed, Louie didn't think the other party had a chance to win.

Aside from McHale, the Knicks' other starters appear to be in very good shape.

Ewing and Wilson were noticeably stronger.

The muscles in Ewing's shoulders are most pronounced. He was by no means as broad as last season, and he doesn't even look human now.

There was also a change in one person that surprised Louis.

Sean Kemp, the gifted high school student who was adored by Louie last season, didn't slack off during the offseason.

According to Willis Reed, he spent the summer as Ewing's follower.

Wherever Ewing goes, he will be there.

Ewing likes to maintain his form at Georgetown University, so Kemp also went to Georgetown, and there was an anecdote about a dunk on Dikembe Mutombo.

The two new rookies looked trembling.

They know where they are.

"Every year at this time, I have to say something repeated to you. I think you are tired of hearing it." Louis said with a smile, "I won't say anything extra. From 1986 to the present, We all aim for the championship. When we won the championship in 1988, the crown has been on our heads. A lot of people say the 90s are not the same as they used to be, yeah, not the same because of the old guys who ruled the 80s Rusted all over, and we are young. This is our era, we have to hold it firmly in the palm of our hands, and hope that everyone will move forward towards the goal of defending the title and hold themselves to the standard of champions.”

As before, players are used to team up and play against each other to detect the status of everyone.

Ewing's "Star of Jamaica" and Wilson's "Wind of the Giant Shoulders" decided the draft order through guessing.

Wilson won the No. 1 overall pick in the 1990-1991 Knicks draft.

His No. 1 pick was Rodman.

After that, Ewing's second and third choices, respectively, won Stockton and Reggie Miller.

"Patrick, Reggie is my love, you can't be loved!" Wilson laughed.

Ewing said coldly, "Who told you not to choose him first?"

"Yeah, I'm so disappointed in you, Benj!" Miller said unhappily. "I'm a member of the Jamaica team this year, and I'm sure I'll get you all over!"

Wilson's choice was very pragmatic. The No. 1 pick selected Rodman because he valued his defense. Since Ewing robbed Stockton and Miller, the back line of the Giant Shoulders would definitely suffer, so he simply revolved around the flanks. to build the team. Wilson's second and third picks were Reggie Williams and John Salley.

He still doesn't pick a pure guard.

This shows that there are significant differences in the selection of players in the two positions.

Ewing values ​​guards ~www.novelmt.com~ because he plays inside and he knows the importance of a good guard.

Since Wilson doesn't choose a guard, he has to let the opponent have no guard to choose.

Jamaica's third and fourth picks are Danny Ainge and Sean Kemp, respectively.

"You two **** don't look down on me as a captain too much?" McHale said unhappily, "I don't have anyone else, do I?"

"How can it be, Kevin, I'll choose you."

The two options after Wilson are McHale and Alex Stevens.

Four players remain, Rohos, Doug West, Elton Campbell and Lionel Simmons.

No one wanted Rohos, Ewing chose West, and the other two rookies were rejected on the grounds that they were not familiar enough.

In this way, two teams formed through the Knicks' internal draft were officially established.

Once the lineup is established, there will be no major changes.

During the season, if they do not cooperate well, they can initiate a trade swap.

The other three undrafted players can also be recognized for their day-to-day performances to join one of the teams.

This is a competitive system unique to the Knicks that clearly divides players into two factions that compete against each other to promote each other.

"Don't be sad, those guys look down on you as well. They are all champions, you have to work hard to catch up!" Lao Mo comforted a few rookies.

Hearing this, Rohos was heartbroken: "Who is not a champion yet!!"
