"Whoa!"

The door of the training hall was opened, and the players who were training inside all stopped their movements and turned their heads to look.

Among them, this season's rookie Nelson, after more than a month of training, has obviously lost a lot of weight, and it seems that the original fat has become muscles, which are much stronger.

Even Milicic, the shy parallel trader who was eager to step on his feet, now looks a lot more confident.

"Alright, boys, pause and welcome your new teammates. Van Gundy and a tall, lanky man walked in, clapping their hands for everyone's attention.

The players looked over and saw that it was Prince, who looked a little serious, and his face was tight.

Obviously, although some time has passed, he still can't accept the sudden transfer to the Knicks. Originally, the little prince had been informed by Dumas that he would take on more responsibilities for the team in the new season, but it didn't take long for the situation to change so much.

Prince didn't get any news about his being traded. He was still preparing for the new season, and he was suddenly notified that he had been traded to the Knicks, which was really unacceptable to him.

Although getting to the Knicks can bring him closer to the championship, leaving the Pistons who have been playing for two seasons still makes Prince feel sad. The most important thing is that the Knicks can't give him a central position, and they can't even guarantee a starting position.

And Lamar still feels terrible about him, and now the thought of being Lamar's teammate here for the next two years makes him feel like he's going to be in a bad mood.

"Tyxiaan!" Van Gundy nudged Prince, "go say hi to your new teammates." ”

Prince passively took two steps forward, watching a group of people standing in place and looking at him, His Royal Highness the Little Prince, who had experienced so many big scenes, actually felt a little nervous.

The atmosphere in the training hall gradually became awkward, and just when Prince didn't know what to do, Lamar suddenly walked over and stood in front of Prince. The two men glanced at each other, and then Lamar held out his hand to Prince.

"Welcome, Tayxiaan! Whatever happened to us before, or what happened between the Knicks and the Pistons, is gone now. From now on we're all teammates on the same team, and we're all going to work together for the championship, so 。。。。。。 Lamar paused, looked back at the others, and smiled at Prince, "Welcome to the gang!"

Prince was really stunned, he had never imagined that his first meeting with Lamar in New York would be like this. Although there is no deep hatred between the two people, because of the team's position, there was no less friction between the two during the game.

But now Lamar was the first to stand up and welcome him, which really surprised him.

When Prince came to his senses, he remembered that Lamar's hand was still outstretched.

When the hands of the two people were clasped tightly, Prince also felt some excitement in his heart. To say that he doesn't want to come to the Knicks is a lie!

The current Pistons have been demoralized since Van Axel retired. With Ben Wallace gone, the atmosphere within the Pistons was even more silent and lifeless.

Now to say that the Pistons are still capable of competing for the championship is simply a fantasy!

The Knicks are different, although the Knicks have undergone some personnel changes this summer, but overall the Knicks are still the strongest team in the league.

No one can deny that! When it comes to the Knicks, at least in terms of competition, it can take him a step further.

And now everyone knows that the eyes of basketball fans all over the world are focused on the Knicks, and playing on such a team can also enhance his fame.

Crucially, head coach Van Gundy had already made a promise to Prince before meeting his teammates: the starting small forward position is not fixed, and it is all up to Battier and Prince themselves

The strength to go for it!

"Hey, do you want to just stand like this? This is the new brother of our gang, don't you want to say welcome?" Lamar's words caused a sparse applause in the Knicks' training hall, and you could see that the expressions on people's faces were very reluctant.

Lamar shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Prince: "They are like this, they will not have a good face with unfamiliar people." How's it going, Taysiian? Can you train now?"

"No problem!" Prince was already preparing for the new season of the Pistons, and he had deliberately participated in the summer league in order to adapt to the role of the team's boss as soon as possible.

"Good! Go and conquer those bastards with your strength! Let them see how good you are!"

Prince nodded at Lamar and went to change his training clothes.

Morey and Van Gundy walked over to the pitch to watch the players train under Lamar.

It has to be said that Prince and Battier each have their own strengths, and he definitely has the ability to be the starting small forward for the Knicks right now.

The little prince is tall and long-armed, not only has excellent defensive strength, but he can also make Wade, who is opposite him, difficult on the training field, and he is also quite good offensively.

Although because he just got involved, his teammates are not very familiar with Prince's technical habits, and the coordination is inevitably a little jerky, which makes Prince have a lot of opportunities to attack. But as soon as the ball is in his hands, he can immediately react in the right way, and he will never be soft when he should shoot.

It can be seen that Prince is very smart and a man who can play with his brain.

While the players are training hotly on the pitch, Morey and Van Gundy are not having an easy time off the pitch, and they are still discussing things for the new season.

Although the team has replenished well now, the Knicks are still hurt by the large number of players who have switched to other teams before.

"How's the contact going?"

Morey couldn't help frowning when he heard Van Gundy's inquiry, shook his head and said, "If it's possible, I really don't want to deal with those vampires anymore now." These guys can't see anything but money. We've made several bids in a row, but they've always turned them down for all sorts of reasons. Maybe in their eyes, the championship doesn't matter at all, the dollar money is everything. Hell!"

Van Gundy listened to Morey's complaints, and the look on his face became colder and colder. When he thought of what those agents in the NBA usually did, he couldn't help but feel angry: "Can you bypass the agent and unilaterally send a notice to Alonzo?"

"If we don't get a response from Alonzo within three days, then we Knicks will choose another partner!" The agent also sent a notice with a tougher wording, telling him that this is the Knicks' last bag, and if he doesn't accept the contract, we will change targets. ”

Morey nodded and wrote it down, and then said: "Jeff, we are almost on the inside now, Samuel and Lamar will be our main players in the new season, and there are also Hilario and Anderson on the bench, and there is also a parallel import." Is it really necessary to contact Alonzo?

At the mention of Mourning, Van Gundy couldn't stop sighing in his heart: "We don't know how his injury is recovering now." ”

At this time, although Mourning has announced that he is ready to make a comeback, because he has not signed any team, the old guy can only do recovery training under the leadership of a personal coach, and the outside world can only know what news through Mourning's agent.

"We've got to be prepared! besides Alonzo, what good referral code does Lamar have?"

Van Gundy also had a headache: "Lamar mentioned Mourning, and nothing else said." ”

"Hey, the big fish in the free agent market have long been divided by other teams, and the rest are useless, and the good ones are not willing to take a pay cut to our team. It's really hard at my job right now, and sometimes I can't wait for Patrick to announce his comeback, even though he's getting older, he's still going to be able to do it!"

"Patrick?" Van Gundy exclaimed and looked at Morey, "Darrell, I think our problem is solved!"

"What?" Morey was also taken aback by Van Gundy's fuss: "Hey, Jeff, you don't really plan to make Patrick come back, do you?"

"Why not? Of course, I'm not sure what this guy thinks, I'll ask for myself!"

Morey's brain was running out for a while, so he could only follow Van Gundy's thoughts: "When are you going to go?

"Of course, let's talk about it first, if both guys agree, the Knicks won't be able to tolerate it!"

Morey was completely petrified at this time: "Jeff, today is not April Fool's Day!

"I'm not kidding you! We're all crazy in the eyes of those people now, so let's just be crazy. ”

Watching Van Gundy walk towards Patrick Ewing, Morey froze completely in place, muttering, "Crazy!

"What?" Ewing shouted, causing the training hall to fall silent.

Salmons, who was about to fly up and put on a one-armed slam dunk, was also scared like a winged angel, losing his balance halfway through the flight and almost falling into a.

Just when Ewing was coaching Darmsport on defensive skills under the basket, Van Gundy suddenly walked over and asked, "Hey, Patrick, do you want to play in the NBA?"
