Chapter 1221
Shanghai has all the plans in place, and has never encountered a situation like the Knicks are in in these years. The most important thing is that if the original plan is canceled at this time because of some small discomfort from the Knicks, don't say that the wealthy Oriental TV is not easy to explain, just those uncrowned kings can make the host party eat a pot. Not to mention the fans who paid for the tickets, their anger can definitely burn him.
After listening to the explanation given by the receptionist, Coach K had no choice but to be so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother. He never thought that these people would make money so shrewdly, and they could even involve so much in ordinary training sessions.
There is no way, since it can't be changed, Coach K can only do things according to the regulations. So the old man hurried back to the hotel and told Lamar the situation first.
When Lamar heard this, his eyebrows furrowed: "Coach, is there really nothing you can do? If you train like this, it can easily lead to muscle strain. It's not going to be easy to do if something goes wrong, and the regular season is about to start, so what are we going to do if we get an injury?"
Coach K is also at a loss now: "What can I do? The contract has been signed, and the other party is obviously unwilling to compromise. If we break the contract, it will be a small matter to lose money at that time, and it will have a big impact on the reputation of our team. And when the time comes, the Knicks' image in China will definitely plummet!"
Lamar didn't expect this just now, and Lamar felt a little different through today's events, obviously with more and more teams coming to China in the NBA in recent years, the Chinese side has not paid as much attention to the Chinese game as before.
But the Knicks now need the support of Chinese fans, and the reason why Lamar agreed to lead the team to China is to stabilize the Knicks' influence in China. If it really offends the Chinese side as Coach K said, it will be counterproductive.
Coach K thought for a moment: "Anyway, the organizers don't stipulate how we should train, should we adjust the plan a little and just deal with it casually? What do you think of that?"
Lamar glanced at Coach K: "It's better not to go than this! This is deceiving the fans, don't take the fans for fools, in case the fans are disgusted, then our losses will only be greater." ”
"Then what do you say?" Coach K spread his hands and played a scoundrel.
As if he had made up his mind, Lamar gritted his teeth and said: "Isn't it here to help improve the basketball level of the Chinese national team? Since this is the case, we should also make an appearance and bring them the real level of basketball." ”
Coach K saw that there was no other way, so he had to grit his teeth and gather all the players and get into the car.
Although the reception staff repeatedly assured that the relevant aspects of this open class had controlled the scale as much as possible, when the bus arrived at the training hall, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them.
Looking at the black crowd in front of him, tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the stadium alone.
Most of the fans wore the No. 7 jersey, and some even held up posters of Knicks players.
Looking at the posture in front of him, if any Knicks player who doesn't know how to die gets out of the car at this time, they must be torn to shreds.
"That's what you said about controlling the scale?" Coach K's eyes were about to pop out, such an occasion was almost in time for the finals, and they were still practicing a fart. None of the players he has under his command are not showy masters, and even the rookies Nate Robinson and Weaver, who were a little nervous at first, were a little eager to try at this time.
Thinking about the next training scene, Coach K knows that as long as these fans scream, these animals under his command will not have adrenal rush and crazy secretion and hard work.
The reception staff smiled awkwardly: "This may have been an accident!"
An accident sent Coach K away, and our old coach was depressed and just wanted to hit the wall.
Fortunately, I didn't need to get dizzy and entered the stadium under the protection of the armed police security personnel, but I didn't expect the scene in the stadium to be even more terrifying, and tens of thousands of fans were waiting for the Knicks to come.
You must know that this is not a standard NBA arena, but an improvement on the basis of the original CBA arena, which can accommodate about 6,000 people. Now nearly 18,000 people have been crowded in at once, and even the aisles are full of fans.
When the Knicks' players appeared in the players' tunnel, the deafening shouts on the scene almost scared Weaver, who was not very psychological, to pee his pants.
With a simple hello, the players went back to the dressing room again under the leadership of Lamar, who gathered everyone together as soon as he entered the door.
"Declare in advance, don't be lazy when you train for a while, and follow that what you usually do in New York. Whoever dares to make a showmanship will wait to be punished when he returns to New York!"
When Lamar said this, the look on his face was cold and terrifying. At this time, no one thought that Lamar was joking, and after a moment's hesitation, they nodded their heads in agreement.
When one of the Knicks' fierce players changed their equipment and came out again, there was naturally another tsunami in the arena.
"I didn't feel like I was in a training gym, I was at the Oscars. Samuel Dampotter teased with a relaxed expression.
Lamar glared at the grinning Haitian: "I hope you won't be able to give a thank you speech later." ”
The New York Knicks were ready for practice, and then walked out of the tunnel amid the cheers of the 18,000 fans in the stadium and the anticipation of countless guns and short guns.
It's a pity that these guys from the Knicks are still thinking too simply, and a group of people just walked onto the field, but they were told that they couldn't start training for the time being. Because before they appeared, there was entertainment. It is said that a very famous local burlesque troupe in Shanghai came to cheer them up, and as for the name, please forgive Lamar for not remembering it.
Looking at the excited looks of the fans at the scene, the Knicks really thought they were in the wrong place.
"Is this a Broadway scene?" Samuel Dampoter grimaced, doubting for the first time the charm of his donkey-faced face, "I don't think these guys came to see us train. ”
Lamar also couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't know what the hell is going on with this TM! ”
Lamar is not unhappy because his own people have been robbed of the limelight, the key is that he feels that since there are already people who have saved the scene, there is no need for them to drag their tired bodies to suffer.
Originally, the Knicks coaching staff also planned to take advantage of the trip to China to further hone in the tacit understanding between the teams before the start of the regular season and speed up the integration of players into the team, but looking at the current situation, they are a little wishful thinking.
Looking back at the teammates who were standing with pain in their lower back and legs, sitting crookedly on the bench and wishing to come to two plasters to be comfortable, Lamar smiled helplessly, and then beckoned the team doctor to quickly massage everyone.
Who knew that after this scene was captured by the camera on the scene, he directly gave a two-word evaluation professional.
Finally, the live performance was over, the funny stars finally left, and the stadium was quiet.
Lamar, the group of turtles who had just been overlooked, stood on the sidelines and watched the staff of the organizers, and they didn't know if they should play. If they go up and be knocked down again, they will really have no face.
It was a little cold for a while, and the staff of the organizer hurriedly waved their hands to kill Lamar and others.
"Alright, guys, it's time for us to play. Let's hope our dull training style won't scare the fans away. Lamar teased at his players and led his teammates onto the pitch.
"Hey, Lamar, who are you talking about boring training methods? You haven't been under Jeff, and compared to him, my training plan is like entertainment. ”
"Okay, Coach, I was wrong! I just want to finish the training quickly and go back to my bed. I don't want to spend a minute here, I feel like I'm going to be an entertainment star, and I'm not going to wriggle my ass at the fans like those clowns. ”
Coach K knows that Lamar is angry, and now there are not many pure basketball stars like Lamar, and even paranoid people like AI and Kobe have begun to play like tickets and make records, and only Lamar in the entire NBA still puts all his energy on basketball as always.
"Alright, Lamar, didn't you just say that you were going to do this training as if it were in New York? ”
Probably because of Coach K's obscenity, the other players were also very serious at this time. Led by assistant coach Tom Thibodeau, the guys did a simple warm-up and then started the switchback run.
The massage just now still had a certain effect, at least the players' bodies are no longer as stiff as they were just now, which also reduces the possibility of injury.
Coach K stood on the sidelines, still loudly reminding a player to pay attention to his movements, as usual. He was also very relieved to see the serious looks of the players on the field.
After the warm-up activity, the three-person passing and receiving practice began. In the eyes of experts, this kind of connection should be very formal and professional. But in the eyes of the fans in the stadium, it was really boring, and one by one they lost the excitement they had just now, and sat listlessly in their seats watching the players sweat on the field.
"Coach K, coach!" The director sent by the TV station couldn't stand it.
If the Knicks continue like this throughout their training sessions, there is no way to guarantee ratings. 2k reading web
