Chapter 753
If the team boss doesn't approve of it, even if Anthony joins the Knicks as a tanhua, nothing good will come of it. Vertex Fastest Compared to Lamar, who is only 24 years old and is only 24 years old, Anthony is just a rookie who has not proven himself even if he is talented! The Knicks will never do those things that have checked the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
However, Anthony seems confident in this: "I don't think Lamar's words imply a rejection of me. He just doesn't like journalists, and that's clear to the whole league! Everyone has their own habits, some people like to live in the spotlight, and he likes to be quiet. I'm still looking forward to joining the Knicks, and I'm sure I can do well, people go through a familiarization process, and I'm sure I can be friends with Lamar. ”
Obviously, after many inquiries from his agent during this period of time, Anthony also knew that he was hopeless! The Cleveland Cavaliers had already made up their minds to choose LeBron James, who was older than his father, and the Pistons did not have their own status! Only the Knicks were Anthony's best choice now, and if he didn't hug the knicks' thighs again, then his dream of being the champion would be a big shame!
So recently, Anthony has been constantly courting the Knicks. Jeff Van Gundy didn't seem to understand Lamar's meaning at all, and kept praising Anthony's strength and unfathomable future potential, making him look like he had a concubine and wanted to enter the cave room with a bayonet and a red posture.
On the one hand, Lamar is not interested in Anthony, and on the other hand, Jeff Van Gundy almost got lovesick for Anthony. This diametrically opposed attitude has puzzled the managers of other teams in the league!
However, this does not affect their yearning for Anthony in the slightest, after all, good swing guards in the league are becoming more and more popular, and players with offensive ability like Anthony are even more rare.
The world of those who have Anthony!
People almost chanted like this, but Lamar's attitude was still intriguing, and even though he went to the rookie camp every day to report, he didn't seem to pay attention to Anthony as a potential stock at all.
This NCAA superstar, who has made so many people crazy, just can't get into Lamar's eyes. As for those reporters' questions, Lamar has remained silent, just not letting people see what he is thinking.
After the rookie training camp, many teams have already got a first look at this year's rookies. Of course, Carmelo Anthony is still the biggest favourite! In addition to him, the most sought after are LeBron James, Chris Bosh and, of course, Milicic from Europe.
In fact, many teams are well aware that they want to get Antoniciki's impossible, but that still doesn't make them give up hope. Right now, they're actively seeking a trade with the Knicks.
Although Jeff Van Gundy keeps saying that he wants to bring Anthony back to New York, it is guessed from Lamar's attitude that this matter is not a foregone conclusion. And it really doesn't make sense for the Knicks to get Anthony, last season's success has proven the strength of Sean Battier, plus Grant Hill, which was traded from Orlando, the Knicks really don't need to add another Anthony to the small forward position now.
Deal things aside.
After rookie camp, it's time for the teams in the league to learn more about their goals. At this point, every rookie has to do everything in his power to sell himself to those teams and try to find himself a decent job in the league as much as possible.
As the runner-up last season, the Knicks now have the No. 13 lottery in their hands, the No. 29 pick in the first round and the No. 59 pick in the second round, which is naturally a place for rookies.
As soon as the rookie training camp ended, the rookies couldn't wait to have their agents send a tryout request to the Knicks. As the leader of the Knicks, Lamar, a core player, will naturally take a closer look at the rookies when they come to practice. As long as you can conquer Lamar, you can step into the NBA stage as a tanhua or lottery show, which is a big temptation for many rookies!
While most of these young players don't actually have the strength to make it to the NBA, that hasn't stopped them from entering the Knicks' gym as a pilgrim. Because they know very well that Lamar, the leader of the Knicks, is a freak who never plays his cards according to common sense.
"Bang bang!"
The Knicks training gym, which has been quiet for more than two months, is bustling again. It's just that at this time, it is not the heroes of those New Yorkers who are being trained inside, but a group of young people who come to New York to find their dreams.
Among them are this year's rookies, who are still very new to the league for the time being, and although they try to learn about the NBA through various means, it will only be in vain. Only when they are truly immersed in the scene, they have been able to deeply feel the charm of the NBA.
Although they only went to the Knicks for tryouts, these rookies have already felt the difference between the NBA and the NCAA.
When I was in college, every coach treated the players as if they were their own children, and more often than not, they were constantly encouraged on the sidelines, even if it was just a good run. But it's different here, no coach cares what you want or what you want, they just keep imposing their ideas on everyone and making you accept them.
Because in the NBA, for every minute you play on the basketball court, the team pays you, and while that's a bit utilitarian, it's true.
Of course, not all of them came to the Knicks for tryout, but there were also some free agents who came to try their luck. These players who have been in various low-level leagues all the year round and occasionally go to the NBA to work for a short time have long lost those lofty ambitions in their hearts. They aspire to play in the NBA for money, and whoever pays them money, who is willing to offer them a contract, they work for whomever they want.
So every day someone leaves, and every day someone joins in. Jeff Van Gundy's coaching staff doesn't feel burdened when they say to every player, "You're good, but you're not on our team"! The same goes for free agents, who tend to shrug their shoulders helplessly, then pack up and leave New York to try their luck on the next stop.
"Hehe, these young people are really all very good!" Jeff Van Gundy stood on the sidelines and laughed, his eyes always on the rookies, looking at him as if he was a hero in my hands: "Look at Lamar! Aren't they all great? God! Forgive me, I don't even know who to choose!"
Looking at Jeff Van Gundy's smug look, Lamar just wanted to slap him in the face. He couldn't figure out in the early stages of the training that Jeff Van Gundy's dog-eyed eyes were clearly eyeing an Anthony, so why did he agree to the tryouts of those other rookies?
"Lamar!" Jeff Van Gundy saw that Lamar had not spoken, turned his head to look at Lamar, and then began his lust again: "Look at that young man, well done! Lamar, you see if he is very good, look at his action just now, it is simply Pippen second." Hell, I'm not a fan of that guy, but that young man is really good. ”
The guy Jeff Van Gundy was talking about, Lamar really had some impressions, Michael Petrus, a swingman from France. His block just now was indeed beautiful, but after blocking the opponent, he was obviously a little immature in terms of handling the ball.
In Lamar's opinion, Petrus should have given the ball to Devin Wade at the first opportunity, rather than choosing to dribble himself through the half. As a result, Anthony, who was waiting for him, directly reached out and broke the ball.
To be honest, Lamar really can't see that such a performance has a hairy connection with the Batman of the Megatron Alliance.
But it's understandable that young people want to show their feelings. After all, the head coach of the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy, who was once famous in the NBA league, was standing on the sidelines.
After Petrus was cut off by Anthony, he was obviously a little annoyed, and his eyes were always quietly aimed at Jeff Van Gundy and Lamar on the sidelines. Obviously, the French and the two people cared about the reaction, although he also knew that it was basically impossible for him to enter the small green house, but after all, he was a young man, who had any extravagant hopes in his heart?
Lamar really wasn't even interested in training matches like this. If he was still the same Lamar in his previous life, he might feel that these two teams are playing very passionately on the field now, and there are constant wonderful shots. But after four years of the league's thriving, Lamar is no longer interested in these performances of serious individual heroism, and he now prefers team basketball, where good passing, cutting and running are the real king.
If you look at the situation on the pitch right now, everybody wants to do everything they can to get more attention, but that often backfires! Because no manager likes a player who puts himself above the team, except for Jeff Van Gundy. Because Lamar has such a right!
Despite being regularly reprimanded by members of Jeff Van Gundy's coaching staff, these rookies are still enjoying their individual performances. In contrast, the free agents who came to try their luck were better in this regard because they knew their place very well. Even if the Knicks were willing to give them a contract, it would only require them to be a standard blue-collar player, and blue-collar players never had much of a chance to perform.
