Chapter 172 The Great Demon King Is Here
Michael Jordan didn't take Zhao Ke's words to heart. What could this 19-year-old know?
The reason why he chose to cooperate with the Washington Wizards is because the owner Abby Pauline has a very good reputation. As one of the owners with the longest history in the NBA, he has always shown himself as a great philanthropist and a good old man.
Is it possible for such a person to backtrack?
Reminders are reminders, believe it or not.Zhao Ke didn't insist either. After Wang Zhizhi's contract was settled, it was time for him to return to the Knicks to participate in training.
At the beginning of this season, without the friendly aura blessed by the system, Jeff Van Gundy may not have such a high tolerance. He must train hard, play hard, and be an obedient boy.
When Zhao Ke walked into Madison Square, there was already a large group of people training.However, there are only two acquaintances, Kurt Thomas and Chris Anderson.
Zhao Ke went to the sidelines and clapped his hands to calm everyone down. He said loudly, "Welcome to the New York Knicks dynasty! From this year onwards, our goal is the same every year, and that is to defend the title! We will build a New York Knicks dynasty that is even more brilliant than the Boston Celtics' eight consecutive championships. Let's work together!"
Everyone felt that Zhao Ke was a little bragging, so Chris Anderson came over and said in a low voice, "Boss, how dare you say it!"
Zhao Ke glanced at the wretched "Birdman", and said dissatisfied: "Stupid human being, do you think I'm just talking?"
"Otherwise?" Chris Anderson was skeptical of Zhao Ke's ambition.
Zhao Ke was about to brainwash him when head coach Jeff Van Gundy, assistant coaches Tom Thibodeau and Patrick Ewing walked into the training hall together.
The three of them all looked solemn, and they were very worried about the lineup for the new season.If it weren't for Zhao Ke's blowing out just now, Jeff Van Gundy would have announced that the goal of the new season is to reach the playoffs.
Sure enough, what killed the championship was the championship itself!
Jeff Van Gundy briefly introduced the coaching staff to 12 rookies and asked them to introduce themselves.
Then, without saying anything, the Mediterranean boss took out his small notebook and sat aside.
Patrick Ewing led Kurt Thomas, Chris Anderson, Nene Hilario, Brandon Haywood, Udonis Haslem, and Reggie Evans to the side of the court.
Tom Thibodeau took Zhao Ke, Larry Hughes, Andre Miller, Lynch Hunter, Matt Harprin, Lagabel, Tayshaun Prince, and Matt Barnes to the other side.
Without knowing the situation, Jeff Van Gundy is not good at forming troops. He needs to study the group of recruits under his command carefully, and record them one by one in the small notebook.
The days flew by in simple and repetitive training.
On October 2002, 10, China's National Day, Zhao Ke and the New York Knicks ushered in their first preseason opponent——
Last season's last season in the league, the Chicago Bulls.
Since Granik came to power, the alliance has advocated reform and just announced:
Starting from the 2002-2003 season, the first round of the playoffs is the same as the other rounds, adopting a seven-game four-win system in order to increase the fairness of the playoff competition.
There are also a lot less gimmicks in the current preseason, and training is training.
In the hands of the old Jewish man, gimmicks such as "revenge" and "derby" are bound to be indispensable.Of course, this is just the preseason, maybe the regular season will be the same.
Facing some nervous teammates, Zhao Ke gave his own solution...
In the first quarter, Zhao Ke made 15 of 12 shots and 12 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 33 points, 3 blocks and [-] steals!
The Knicks led the Bulls by 45 points in a single quarter with 21:24.
What a joy to play with the wind, the coaches and players are all happy.
Jeff Van Gundy started the wheel battle mode without pears. All 15 people in the roster got the chance to play. Zhao Ke played a total of 28 minutes. After the first quarter, his efficiency began to decline. In the next three quarters, he made 15 of 7 shots and 12 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 19 points.
In the whole game, Zhao Ke scored 52 points and helped the Knicks beat the Bulls 126:98.
That's right, Zhao Ke frantically threw out all his skill packs in the first quarter, resulting in a 24-point lead.
What are you afraid of in the rookie season?
Afraid that the team will fall behind, the coach will become nervous when the team falls behind.When the coach is nervous, he will let the veterans play to control the situation, and the rookies will sit on the bench!
This is not conducive to the healthy development of the team, nor is it conducive to the cultivation and growth of rookie players.
For the six rookies of the team, Zhao Ke is so worried!
On October 10, the second preseason game, New York Knicks VS Cleveland Cavaliers.
Zhao Ke repeated his old tricks, scoring 35 points, 3 blocks and 3 steals in the first quarter. The Knicks led by a full 30 points in the first quarter.
In the whole game, Zhao Ke scored 55 points and led the Knicks to easily beat their opponents 118:86.
Since then, last season's scoring champion Zhao Ke announced a strong return, scoring 58 points in the third game, 60 points in the fourth game, and 53 points in the fifth game.
He averaged 55.2 points and 3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game throughout the preseason. The media was full of grief: The big devil is coming!
The new teammates all feel so happy. Zhao Ke scored high, but he controlled his shots to about 25 times, which did not hurt other people's right to shoot at all.The key is to lead by more than 20 points at the beginning of each game, and the game is completely stress-free.
As a rookie, the less pressure you have, the better you will perform.
After five games, Jeff Van Gundy has confirmed that the "Smiling Assassin" has made great achievements in the draft this time!
The Mediterranean boss is touching the shiny top of his head. How did Isaiah Thomas's eyes grow?
It is said that Matt Barnes, Haslem, and Reggie Evans didn't even have draft qualifications. How did the Assassin see in the vast crowd that "Your bones are strange, and you are a good embryo for playing basketball"?
He also finally knew why the Knicks' "championship six" were so determined to leave one after another and go to the end of the world.
Playing with Zhao Ke is really——
A little bit hero useless!
Like now, leading a group of weak chickens, scoring 50+ in each game, and winning the game by the way, this is the correct way for Zhao Ke to open.
Like last season, the teammates are so strong, and they still won beautifully during Zhao Ke's suspension.When Zhao Ke came back, although he played very selflessly and deliberately suppressed the number of shots, his explosive scoring actually concealed the talents of his teammates.
There is no way to reconcile such contradictions. The stronger the relationship, the more selfless they are, the more uncomfortable the fight will be!
Leaving is the best for each other. Now Zhao Ke can play freely, and several other people have also got big contracts. They can become the core of their favorite team and can play as they like.
