Chapter 1210

"That's not what worries me the most, what I'm really worried about is how long it will take for these guys to get back to last season after a summer like this. You must know that many players will have a slack mentality after achieving great honors, and they will never recover. I don't want to have to hire some psychologists to coach these guys at the start of the season and then spend half a season getting them to adjust!"

Lamar frowned when he heard this, he knew that such a situation was indeed very likely to happen.

Lamar had experienced a similar situation in his previous life.

In the summer of 2011, after a long offseason, due to his debauchery after winning the Sixth Man of the Year, his body was seriously fattened, and his form fell badly, and his competitive form began to fall off a cliff.

's career didn't go well, coupled with the emotional blow, Lamar even gave up on himself in the end, and once hovered on the edge of life and death. Although I got a little better with the help of a psychiatrist during this period, in the end, it was better than nothing, and it was a complete fall.

It's a bit of the same now, and if these Knicks guys really slack off after a huge accolade, it will be a huge loss for the Knicks, who are aiming to create a dynasty. And now there is a month left before the new season begins, and if most of the team's players are not in good shape, it will be difficult for the Knicks to last the whole season, and they may even collapse at the last minute like the first two seasons.

"I think I need to talk to these guys!"

Coach K nodded silently: "It's okay! At this time, it should be the most appropriate for you to go and tell them, and the effect is much stronger than what I said." ”

Walking into the team's fitness room, most of the Knicks' players are doing strength exercises under the supervision of assistant coaches and team doctors. Being away from the arena for too long has left these guys not only bloated, but also very sluggish. In this case, not to mention creating last season's glory, you may also get injured on the field due to physical sluggishness.

"Brothers!" the Knicks players were stunned when they heard Lamar's serious tone, and they all turned their heads to look at Lamar, with a puzzled smile on their faces.

"What I'm going to say next, I hope everyone here will remember it!"

Lamar greeted the assistant coach and the team doctor and told them to go out first. After these Knicks staff left, Lamar spoke again in a harsher tone than just now, and all the Knicks players present also became serious: "Everyone knows that we have won two consecutive championships, and this year will be the most critical season for us to build a dynasty, success or failure is a matter of success! I don't want to say much about the holidays, after all, after a long season, you really need to relax." ”

"Poof!" Jamal Nelson and Nate Robinson and a few others who didn't know Lamar much before they couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny about that? Jamal, see how your size is different from Barkley, do you think your current situation can take the pressure off Chauncey?" Lamar gave Jamal Neil a fierce look.

Nelson knew that he had been killed as an example, and after a moment's shock, he quickly shook his head and said, "I!

Lamar couldn't help but feel depressed when he saw Nelson's spitting appearance: "If you have a fart, let it go!" ”

Seeing that Lamar seemed to be angry, Nelson became even more nervous, but Lamar had already spoken, and if he didn't say it, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get over today.

"I'm going to get back in shape from last season before the regular season starts, I'm not going to drag the team down!"

"Really?" Lamar was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Good! I hope you can do what you say." ”

"It's the same with you guys! There's still a month to go, and I hope you'll be back to last season's weight and shape before the regular season starts. The Knicks don't raise waste, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared! If anyone becomes a burden to the team during the game, even if you are the core of the team, even if you are the Knicks' two consecutive championships, then I'm sorry, please be ready to leave at any time!"

"Lamar, although no one has told me that before, I know that with my current situation, I am not qualified to play for the Knicks. But don't worry, before the regular season starts, I'll definitely be back to the way I was last season. Even if I eat Tony's nutritious meal every day, I have no complaints!"

"I believe you, but listening to what you mean, are you complaining that Tony's nutritious meal is not delicious?" Lamar saw that everyone had realized what they urgently needed to change now, so he relaxed, seized the loophole in Nelson's words and launched an attack!

"Lamar, you heard me right! Jamal was really complaining about Tony's cooking. I think we should tell Tony about it!" Nate Robinson, a good guy, is still a rookie, but he's very active on the team, and of course he won't let go of the opportunity to fall into the trap at this time.

"Little man, you bastard, have you forgotten who helped you out when you first joined the Knicks?" Nelson didn't expect that Nate Robinson, who had always been regarded as his little brother, turned out to be a two-five boy, and immediately jumped up angrily.

"Fart! I remember you asked me to wash your stinky socks, oh! shirt! and those disgusting panties!" Nate Robinson was naturally not to be outdone, in his opinion, he and Nelson can be regarded as rookies of the Knicks, even if the fat man in front of him entered the NBA a year before himself.

After a poke and yelling, Nate Robinson seemed to recall something that made him feel terrible, and lowered his head and muttered, "Since that time, my mind has been filled with the smell of canned non-fish as soon as I go to sleep, and then my stomach will be nauseous." It's a really hard taste!"

"What is this? Didn't I come over like that when I first joined the Knicks last year? Anderson's bastard had been stocking up on stinky socks for a week! Besides, didn't you have Weaver to wash with you?" Jamal Nelson clearly took these things for granted.

After all, in the NBA, rookies have a long tradition of doing something for old birds, as long as it's not too much.

Looking at Nate Robinson and Weaver's miserable look of the past, Lamar knew that this was the time to change the subject, otherwise a good internal meeting would become a meeting of grievances and denunciations.

Lamar thought about sitting aside, organized his words, and said, "Alright, guys. I don't want to hear all this nonsense here! We've finally got all together and I want to see what they think of the new season. ”

"I know, Lamar, but。。。。。。 ”

Lamar interrupted Nate Robinson before he could finish speaking: "Nate, it's nothing! Rookies being tricked by old birds are commonplace in the whole league, and although I don't agree with Jamal doing this, at least he didn't go too far! Don't forget that we guys came over like this in the first place, if we can't handle a little prank, how can we deal with the opponent's dirty tricks on the field?"

"Guys, the new season is about to begin. When I won the O'Brien Cup last season, I said that the Knicks' only goal this year is to win the championship! That's right, to win the championship and create a dynasty that belongs to the Knicks!"

"I don't care what you're coming to the Knicks for, whether it's for a championship, or for a big contract! I just hope you can focus on the court after the season starts, and if I find out that you're timid, then I'm sorry, even if you're an All-Star, the Knicks won't have your place!"

"Actually, what I'd like to see is that in 10, 20, or even 30 years, you can brag to your kids that you played for the Knicks, and you were surrounded by the best players in the league. ”

Lamar became more and more excited, and finally couldn't help but use the agitation method! That's because there are nearly half of the new faces in the Knicks' roster this year, and he feels that someone still needs to beat these guys at this time.

Sure enough, after listening to Lamar's words, these guys' emotions suddenly became a little excited.

Especially Nate Robinson, who is still a rookie, this guy is originally an impulsive guy, at this time, the little potato adrenaline is rapidly secreted, he raised his head to look at Lamar and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't worry, Lamar! I will defeat all opponents." ”

"Oh, then I'll have to show me something practical when the time comes. I hope that when people talk about you, they don't call you a little potato, they don't do what you are the successor of Potato Weber, but that when people talk about Webb, they say that little guy is a lot like you Nate Robinson. ”

Lamar's encouraging words immediately made the eyes of Nate Robinson, whose brain lacked roots, light up, and he couldn't help but dream of the scene that Lamar described. It can be seen that the allure of surpassing Potato Webb, an NBA historical celebrity, is still very strong for him.

"Lamar, do you think I can do it?"

Looking at Nate Robinson's hopeful eyes, Lamar pressed what he wanted to say and said loudly, "You shouldn't ask me! You should say to yourself that you can do it, and you can prove to the world that basketball is not just a big man's sport." ”

Although he cheered for Nate Robinson, in fact, Lamar himself did not believe these words. After all, Lamar knows exactly how much Nate Robinson will achieve in the future.

"Yes, I can do it!" It is clear that Nate Robinson, a simple child, has been fooled by Lamar's success. 2k reading web
