Unfortunately, after seeing the report given to him by the scouts about this year's Knicks rookie, Morey couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, and he was angry in the office alone.

However, such a head coach, Lamar also thinks it is nothing, after all, Coach K is not a superman, and he is not reborn like himself.

Lamar is most interested in Coach K's coaching ability! Besides, Coach K's doing this is also good for the Knicks, and after this year's events, I believe that other teams will not be staring at the Knicks' draft.

Hearing that Lamar didn't blame himself at all, Coach K also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he messed up this year's Knicks draft.

Through the experience of the offseason, Coach K also understood his shortcomings, but fortunately, the old fox was very wise, and since then he has entrusted the management of the team to Darrell Morey. This not only appeased Morey's resentment, but also prevented him from making mistakes.

Coach K's behavior of delegating power surprised Morey and made him happy at the same time. As the general manager of the team, of course, I like to be in power. Who wouldn't want to have an old emperor sitting on their head?

"Lamar, I didn't hear you were coming back before. Why don't you give us notice in advance? Coach K barely squeezed out a smile: "I'm sorry Lamar about the draft! ”

"Needless to say, Coach!" Lamar knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard Coach K's tone: "We're not God after all, and I don't think even God can be good at everything! ”

Coach K was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.

What does it mean to be trusted by the boss of the team? A privileged player like Lamar, who has unlimited authority on the Knicks, can say a word more than he does in the dugout. This means that as long as Lamar is always on his side, he doesn't have to worry about being kicked off the dugout.

In a good mood, Coach K couldn't help but laugh: "Lamar! I think we have the ability to create an era that belongs to us." ”

"Of course!" Lamar smiled, "Didn't we work well together last season? ”

Coach K smiled happily and nodded, "Of course! By the way, Lamar, are you here to comfort me, an old man, and rest assured, I won't be knocked down by this little setback!"

"Haha, I know you're strong inside!You're the greatest NCAA coach, and of course you're going to be the greatest NBA head coach in the future!" Lamar laughed and said, "Actually, the main thing to come to the team today is to look at those rookies this year, by the way!"

"Let's go along, and I haven't seen you speak in a long time. After Coach K finished speaking, he pulled Lamar and walked to the locker room again.

Back in the locker room, Lamar looked at the nervous rookies in front of him and smiled and didn't speak, and after being silent for a while, he stood up and clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Okay, rookies." Do your best to win, I'll watch you from the stands. I hope you remember! Only those who are useful to the team can stay, and I'm not here to see your personal prestige, so you'd better be smart when you're on the field for a while!"

After speaking, he turned to Coach K and said, "Coach, I already told Vanessa before I went back to New York, and my physical condition is not bad, but the feeling and the like have to be found by training." So I'm hoping to go back to the team for recovery training from tomorrow. ”

Coach K smiled and said, "Of course!

Lamar smiled and waved to everyone in the locker room, "Alright, guys, let me see if you have the right to stay in New York." Especially you, Hilario, if I found out that you had regressed, I would have kicked you out with my own hands. ”

"Don't worry, Lamar, you won't have such a chance, I will never leave. ”

The Knicks lost the preseason game with the Charlotte Bobcats, and the result was not unexpected.

Although the records of the two teams last season are very different, tonight's game cannot be extrapolated by common sense. In this game, the Knicks really got the best hands on the Brazilian beast Nejlario and Nator Robinson.

On the Lynx side, because most of them are rookies, they pay more attention to the performance. Most of the team's main players last season were in person, and they completely enjoyed this preseason game as if it were a playoffs.

Although the match was lost, Lamar also got some information from the game that he wanted.

First of all, Hilario is in good shape, which reassures Lamar.

Originally, Lamar thought that the Brazilian had not been in contact with an official game for nearly a season, and that his form must have a long time to recover. But after this game, Lamar knew that the beast was ready to be released, but he didn't know who would be the unlucky guy and be the first to be bitten by Hilario.

After a full season, Lamar believes that by the start of the regular season, Hilario will surprise everyone. His defence is still full of enthusiasm and energy, and more importantly, his offensive skills seem to have improved a lot.

In a game, Hilario threw five mid-range jumpers near the free-throw line alone. In the whole game, Hilario not only scored a game-high 32 points, but also contributed as many as 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, stealing the limelight from the victor Bobcats.

This year's rookie Little Potato Robinson also performed very well in this game, although height is his disadvantage, but after a summer of training, his body is much stronger.

In this game, Little Potato was not completely inferior in the matchup with the opposing star point guard Raymond Felton. Before the end of the game, Nate Robinson made a successful steal of Felton and then went down quickly, beating the Bobcats' center Pachulia with a dunk.

Little Potato is 175 tall and Pachulia is 211 tall, so Little Potato's sudden dunk shocked the audience.

Aside from these two guys, Lamar's biggest finding in this game was the loss of rookie Weaver. This rookie not only breaks through sharply, but also has a good three-point shot with obvious characteristics.

It's a pity that Weaver's shortcomings are also obvious, not to mention the poor defense, after all, this is almost a common problem of rookies (inexperience).

In the first half, when the team relied on Hilario's performance to suppress the Bobcats, Weaver was very good from the outside. But once Hilario was off the court, the Knicks were no longer restrained on the inside, and when the Bobcats launched a counterattack, Weaver's performance immediately withered.

Therefore, Weaver's play is very inconsistent, coupled with the inherent disadvantage in terms of height, Lamar feels that he can only play the role of shooting guard.

However, the Knicks now have not only Devin Wade, an All-Star, in the position of point guard, but also John Salmons, the best sixth man last season (Salmons chose to stay in New York in the offseason, and of course, the Knicks did not treat him badly, with a five-year, $27.8 million contract).

If Weaver can't do more at point guard, his playing time this season may be hard to guarantee.

Lamar hid in a corner of the stands for the entire game, and no one knew he was back except for the Knicks players on the court.

Lamar's main task now is to adjust his form as quickly as possible. He is well aware that both he and his family, as well as the entanglement between him and Kardashian that happened last season, is a topic of great concern to the media right now.

Lamar didn't want to be entangled in these things, after all, he had already done the explanations that needed to be done and the attitudes that should be expressed.

After the game, Lamar did not go back to the locker room, but waited for Coach K to come out in the parking lot outside the stadium.

Although the team defended the championship last season, the departure of former head coach Jeff Van Gundy and the extensive injuries of players are enough to attract his attention.

The team's problems have also been more serious this season, with the departures of Grant Hill and Cassel making the Knicks' bench strength drop a lot compared to last season. With only thirteen players on a team, it's hard to stick around the season.

Although the team's main point guard Billups is still at the peak of his career, he is not too young to stay on the court for as long as he has in previous seasons.

Fortunately, after Cassel left, the Knicks immediately found the old glove Payton, but he is also old after all, and his physical strength is difficult for him to maintain stability for a long time.

And the Knicks' other two benches at point guard, Jamal Nelson and Nate Robinson, like Weaver, are not a competent replacement.

When Coach K came out, the two of them took the car back to Coach K's house and studied this issue carefully.

When he first entered the league, Lamar would be angry with Phil Jackson for his teammates being traded, but now he has understood that if he wants to succeed in the league, he must talk about feelings, but he must not be angry!

The question they discussed throughout the evening was who in the team could be used as leverage. But at the end of the discussion, Lamar looked at the team's current personnel list for a long time, and came to the conclusion that he didn't want anyone in it to leave.

Coach K couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at Lamar, even though Lamar tried to put on a cold face when the issue was discussed at first, as if everyone could give up. But once it was time to get serious, Lamar couldn't help but flinch!
