The Knicks' top brass had been prepared for such a situation for a long time. In order for this event to run smoothly, the Knicks had to shift the attention of the fans, and they had to shift everyone's attention.

Once again, the three leaders of the team sat down together to discuss the matter.

"If possible, of course I'd like to bring in Yao. But is it possible? The people in Houston aren't stupid, unless they trade you. ”

After being rejected by Lamar several times in a row, Darrell Morey was also a little angry. He couldn't understand why the good candidates he had chosen were worthless in Lamar's eyes.

"If you want us to be welcomed by the Chinese fans with eggs when we go to China, I have no problem with everyone you say. ”

Darrell Morey's temper immediately disappeared when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what do you have to do?"

"I wonder if you remember this person?" said Lamar, handing a newspaper to Darrell Morey.

The newspaper was published by a Chinese-based newspaper and was aimed at the Chinese community living in the eastern United States. Therefore, the above reports are all written in Chinese Traditional, and Darrell Morey does not have such a high level of cultural accomplishment.

In Morey's eyes, those square words were no different from the Book of Heaven, but the words couldn't be understood, but he could see the photo on it very clearly.

Van Gundy leaned over, scratched his head and looked at the man in the photo with an obvious Oriental face - a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't remember the name of this person.

"I should have some impression of this big man, he seems to have played in the Dallas Mavericks, it should be like this! Where did he go after that? Damn, I can't remember! Lamar, you announce the answer! I can't remember. ”

Looking at Van Gundy's funny appearance, Lamar couldn't help but smile: "He went to the Los Angeles Clippers after that! ”

"Oh, it's him!" said Darrell Morey, who jumped to his feet at the first hearing, his expression excited.

But it didn't take long for Morey's face to fall: "But I heard that he seems to have been banned by his homeland." By the way, it should be like this, the official website of the alliance announced this. Do you think he can still get us noticed in China right now, or is he good enough to stay with the Knicks? I think he didn't seem to play a few games last season, and the numbers weren't great. ”

"You're right, but isn't that just the right way for us to start? And we're just going to have a good inside bench, or a third-line! I think he's a good fit. Lamar said, tapping his fingers twice on the image.

The Knicks, who lost two interior players in a row at the start of the season, are now in dire need of an interior player. ad_250_left();

Of course, the Knicks' recent moves can't be hidden from the media and experts, so all kinds of speculation immediately poured in, the most absurd is that some people say that the Knicks are ready to make a big deal with the Rockets: trading Darm Porter and Antonio Davis for the Rockets' little giant Yao Ming.

Of course, there are more stupid, such as the South Koreans announcing that the Knicks have taken a fancy to their 19-year-old youngster Ha Seung-jin, ready to bring Big Hippo from South Korea to the NBA, and then form an invincible interior twin tower with Lamar. And he said that he had a nose and an eye, as if the Knicks had already issued a big contract with an annual salary of 10 million for Hesheng Town, and they were waiting for Hesheng Town to come to the Big Apple City like a savior to save the Knicks' weak insider.

It is even said that Nenê Hilario and Damppot have announced within the team that they are willing to be substitutes for South Korea's Dasha. The young and vigorous Nenê Hilario was so angry that he shouted at the reporter that he wanted to duel with the Korean stupid pig!

All kinds of speculation and rumors have kept Darrell Morey busy enough, and he has been refuting the rumors all day long. Especially the "Incident of the Arrival of the Monarch of Haseung Town", which was said by Koreans to have a nose and eyes, made Morey anxious and angry at the same time.

Annoyed, Darrell Morey had to hold a special press conference to explain the incident, but he was probably really mad by the shameless behavior of the South Koreans, and when Morey answered reporters' questions, his remarks seemed a little excessive.

"Do you all think we're crazy about that Korean? Or do you think the owner of the team, Mr. Dolan, has too much money to spend? Seriously, we didn't know what this Korean fool was up to. ”

"Please, be smart! What's that South Korean name? Thank you for the reminder. Hippopotamus, yes? What a strange name! I didn't know him, and I didn't think Koreans had what it took to play in the Knicks. ”

"The level of basketball in their country is not even the third rate in Asia! Hell, such a player would be associated with the Knicks. That's the end of it, we don't need Koreans, we never will. ”

The speaker may not be the listener, but the listener is intentional. Of course, the Korean fans were angry and clamored for the Knicks to show them some color when they arrived in South Korea.

In addition, the head coach of the South Korean national team, Park Sung-tang, who will communicate with the Knicks during their trip to South Korea, also announced that he refuses to communicate in any form for the arrogant Knicks, unless the Knicks kneel down in front of the South Korean people to apologize.

Of course, the biggest beneficiary of this incident is our Haseung Town classmates - famous! Hippo classmates, who were supposed to participate in the NBA draft in the next few years, appeared in the eyes of the scouts of various NBA teams in advance.

But many team general managers shake their heads and throw the information of their hippo classmates in the trash after receiving the investigation report from their scouts.

But then there were really team executives who liked to find another way and decided to use the second-round pick when Hippo participated in the draft.

Whether the Korean ugly man can be selected by the Trail Blazers like in the previous life is no longer something that the Knicks should care about. They don't have time for that kind of trivial matter right now, and now that they have a candidate, the Knicks' uniform team is immediately at work.

Before the rise of the name of medicine, China deserved to be the No. 1 center and an Asian superstar. When he was in the CBA, he led the Bayi team to abuse the immature Yao Ming into scum. If he hadn't landed in the NBA first, Yao Ming's CBA career might have been in the shadows for the rest of his life, and he would never have won the CBA championship.

It's just that Wang Zhizhi's NBA journey was really not a success, and after being drafted by the Dallas Mavericks, he could only live on the Mavericks' bench and struggle, and finally became a free agent that no one cared about when his contract expired.

In fact, when it comes to strength, Wang Zhizhi has absolutely no problems. It's just that his height is really not outstanding in the NBA, and he lacks strength in terms of strength, and he has no advantage in playing center, and it seems that his style is a little out of place in the current NBA.

But after the departure of Olajuwon and McDyes, the Knicks were a bit short of people on the inside, so Lamar thought of this somewhat sad Chinese No. 1 center.

When Lamar was still on the Los Angeles Clippers in his previous life, he first came into contact with Chinese players was Wang Zhizhi, and he was a teammate with Wang Zhizhi. At that time, Wang Zhizhi still had a good impression of Lamar during training, at least the footsteps of the inside line were solid enough.

If Lamar remembers correctly, this time should be the most difficult period of Wang Zhizhi's life, with no ball to play and homeless.

In the previous life, Wang Zhizhi and the Chinese Basketball Association were not very familiar with the dispute. I only knew that something seemed to have happened, and after that, Wang Zhizhi was not qualified to represent the national team in any international competitions for a long time.

Regarding the contradiction between Wang Zhizhi and the Chinese Basketball Association, Lamar is not interested in understanding. All the Knicks want is Wang Zhizhi, and he believes that his low-key but bloodless nature will definitely be a strong addition to the Knicks' interior line.

When Lamar got the information about Wang Zhizhi collected by the staff, he also had a more detailed understanding of the first Chinese basketball player for the first time.

Wang Zhizhi, who was born in 77, is already 25 years old this year, which is at the peak of his sports career for a player. At that time, this also meant that the technical level of this team had been set, and there was basically no chance to improve again.

In terms of ball quality, awareness, reaction, and speed, the Knicks' scouts gave a good evaluation, and he can attack and shoot mid-range, and layups, blocks, small hooks, and half-volleys are his strengths.

Wang Zhizhi's biggest disadvantage is strength and physical strength, followed by physical confrontation ability.

In general, Lamar is still quite satisfied with Wang Zhizhi, although there is a big gap with a player like Dampoter, but as a substitute player will definitely be a very good choice. But Lamar still wants to hear the answer from Jeff Van Gundy's mouth.

"Jeff, you're the head coach of the team, what do you think of him?"

Van Gundy pondered for a while and said, "If it's just a substitute, I think he's qualified." And after watching a few games when he was a Maverick, of course I mean when he played well, I don't think there's a better option than him. ”

"It's just that I'm worried that if we offend the Chinese authorities because of this, will we not be able to steal the chickens and rice?

Lamar listened to Van Gundy's concerns and smiled happily: "Jeff! Do you think we can sign a better player with the salary space we have? You're saying he's the right fit, and he's not asking for a high salary, aren't you?"

General Manager Morey, who had been listening carefully to the analysis of the two on the side, shrugged his shoulders with a smile and interrupted the conversation between the two: "From the point of view of good quality and low price, Wang can indeed make the entire league crazy for him. I really don't know why the old Nelson didn't use him again? ”
