Chapter 557

The more Simmons carelessly does this, the stronger Lamar's guilt becomes!

The big man in front of Lamar who was smiling a little silly was after all a teammate who had been fighting side by side with him for a year. Lamar still had a hard time associating him with a lifeless chip.

After leaving Simmons' house, Lamar was going to go to Butler's house, but Butler had already packed his bags and reported to the Los Angeles Clippers.

As a well-known vagabond in the league, Jackie Butler has long seen the matter of being traded. In his mind, it was no small miracle to be able to play in New York for four seasons.

While the league was still in the midst of a haggling, rumor-filled environment, the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers announced the deal at the same time.

The New York Knicks will pay their backup forward Bobby Simmons as well as a second-round pick next year.

The Los Angeles Lakers paid for their veteran Mark Jackson, who they traded from the Knicks last year, and a first-round pick next year.

Overall, both sides of the deal have reached a win-win situation, both of which try to make up for the lack of positions in the team, and at the same time improve their own strength.

Lamar also welcomed the new arrivals in an interview: "I know Mark is a very strong guy, although we don't know each other very well, but I believe we can be good partners on the pitch!"

"I'm also sorry for Bobby's departure. But this is the NBA, and no one knows where their next stop will be. I can only wish him success in Los Angeles, and that's it. ”

As a seasoned veteran, Mark Jackson's performance at the press conference was much more mature than that of NenΓͺ Hilario and Salmons.

In an interview, Mark Jackson was very comfortable with being traded. Maybe he will feel a burst of happiness in his heart that he finally left the Los Angeles Lakers, who are full of internal strife. And the Knicks are also a team that has the strength to compete for a championship, if not much worse than the Lakers.

And Mark Jackson has already sensed the sincerity of the New York Knicks, and the position of assistant coach is definitely in line with his plan for his future life.

"I'm very proud to be on the great team of the New York Knicks again. It's a very strong team and we had a very successful season last season as well, and I hope my arrival will help the team and hopefully we can be successful here. ”

"Lamar is a very good player, he's a big part of the league right now, and I'm very excited to play with a player like that. ”

With the return of Mark Jackson, people gradually saw that a team that truly belonged to Lamar was being born. The current Knicks team includes Damport, NenΓͺ, Hilario, Hilario, Houston, Arenas, Billups, Sean Battier, Salmons, all of whom are Lamar's admirers. When their idol worship translates into motivation on the court, the Knicks will sweep the league and become invincible. ad_250_left();

As the No. 7 pick in this year's draft, NenΓͺ Hilario fans in New York are naturally rejoicing. Although they lost Shanton Anderson for this, the energetic NenΓͺ Hilario clearly captured the hearts of the fans more than the mediocre Anderson.

Similarly, Nuggets fans would prefer to see a Sandon Anderson who has proven himself in the league to complete his team's roster.

Both teams achieved a win-win situation, but the deal seemed like a bolt from the blue for the others.

Although the Knicks' roster appears younger and more inexperienced after this trade, the potential of the players that the Knicks are now in the net cannot be ignored. Everyone can imagine how powerful the Knicks will be when these young people are mature.

In this regard, the Spurs' old coach Zhuge Vic poured bitter water on reporters, and anyone can see the current situation of the Spurs - the team is aging.

Although the combination of Duncan, David Robinson, and Parker is still in its prime, it can be seen that the era of admirals is coming to an end.

"It's just terrible, nothing worse than that! While the Knicks aren't our direct competitors, there's no denying that the future of this league has been taken over by them. And the biggest accomplices who got them to this point are the fools who have no vision, and I have to say that they did a very stupid thing. ”

When Lamar heard Zhuge Vic's words, he said with a little disdain: "I think Mr. Zhuge Vic only allowed the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light the lamps! He happened to get Tim Duncan back then, which is an extremely bad thing for other teams." ”

With the players returning one after another, Jeff Van Gundy, who has been worrying about the new season, can now finally breathe a sigh of relief. He no longer has to worry about the team's run-in after the start of the new season, and as the team's training unfolds, I believe that all these hidden dangers will be solved.

Davis, who has been recuperating from injuries for more than 6 months, looks a lot fatter, and his body size is not much better than that of Anthony Walker. For a long time to come, the Knicks coaching staff will probably be worried about his size.

"Oh my God!"

Looking at the physical examination report given to him by the team doctor in his hand, Van Gundy's good mood when he saw Davis just now disappeared all at once. At 116 kilograms, he is nearly 10 kilograms heavier than when he joined the Knicks last season.

Davis is now 4 kilograms heavier than Lamar, you must know that he is 3 centimeters shorter than Lamar!

"Why is it so heavy?I didn't feel like you're so fat when I met you in the preseason??, where have you been for most of the last month?" Lamar was also a little surprised after watching it, but still comforted Jeff Van Gundy.

"Don't worry, Jeff, we still have time. This guy must not have taken care of his mouth, and his body size is still within the range of what he can bear. But you have to arrange someone to supervise his weight loss, this kind of body shape is not a good thing for us. ”

"That's not what I'm most worried about, what I'm really worried about is whether he will leave a shadow in his heart after this serious injury?"

"Probably not! I've watched preseason games too, and Antonio has responded well. As long as I get my weight down, I'm sure this guy will be the same guy he was last season when he returns to the game!" Lamar frowned at what he heard, but then relaxed.

"I still feel the need to talk to him. Van Gundy nodded silently, and said to himself: "That's it! When the time comes, you find a time to talk to him, I believe that you will have a much stronger effect than I do." ”

When Lamar walked into the team's fitness studio, Davis was doing lower body strength exercises under the supervision of assistant coaches and team doctors.

The most taboo fooling around for a while has not only made Davis gain a lot of weight, but also seems to be a lot sluggish. In this case, not to mention going to the game, even the usual training tasks are a bit hanging.

"Antonio!"

Davis turned his head to look at Lamar with a happy smile on his face. This guy is still very normal when he is off the field, and he is completely unruly and unruly when he is in the game.

Lamar greeted the assistant coach and the team doctor and motioned for them to go out first.

After the two left, Lamar said to Davis, who was a little confused, "Antonio, what do you think of the current situation?

Davis shook his head a little puzzled and said, "It's nothing, I'm full of strength right now, and I'm looking forward to the regular season." ”

Lamar couldn't help but feel depressed when he looked at Davis: "Don't you think you're a little overweight now?

Seeing that Lamar seemed to be angry, Davis also began to become nervous. Lamar has already spoken, and if he doesn't say it, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through today.

"Trust me! I'm sure I'll be back to last season's weight before the regular season starts. I'm not going to drag the team down!"

"Are you sure?" Lamar was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Losing 10 pounds in less than a month is not an easy task! Who else said you were dragging down the team?"

"No one told me that! I didn't expect that I would be the way I am in less than a month after indulging myself. ”

"Do you regret it now? I thought a cocky guy like you would never regret it. Lamar started making fun of Antonio Davis.

Davis lowered his head and whispered, "Since the weight has come up, my knees will ache for a while while training, and this feeling is really hard. I love basketball, and I don't want to retire so early!"

Looking at Davis's lost and gloomy look, Lamar knew that this was the time for him to find a way to regain Davis' confidence. If this problem is not handled well, Davis, who is on the verge of collapse, will probably be scrapped in the future. Lamar didn't want his jackpot to be so decadent.

Lamar sat aside, pondered for a while and said, "Antonio, it's useless to regret it! The best thing you can do now is to take action, our career can't always be smooth sailing! Physical decline is inevitable, and if you back down at this time, you will never succeed." ”

"I know all of that! Lamar! but。。。。。。 ”
