Not to mention Wang Zhizhi, even Sean Battier looks a little rusty because he hasn't played for a long time. Burn? Wen?? ??? ． ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? If E?n'org doesn't hurry up and practice as a team at this time, the Knicks will really have a bit of a hard time playing when the regular season starts.

The last thing Van Gundy can tolerate now is that a director actually comes to challenge his authority, criticizes him, and comments that his training methods are not "wonderful"! They are not circus clowns?

Seeing that Van Gundy was unwilling to compromise, he also made a difficulty. I could only beg vigorously, but Van Gundy just ate the scales and refused to agree.

In desperation, the staff had to call their leaders for help. Of course, his actions were reprimanded by the leader, and it seems that the word incompetence is destined to be crowned with this hapless staff.

In order to enliven the atmosphere of the scene, the superior leaders came up with a solution after discussing with Darrell Morey. The organizers in Shanghai drew lucky fans according to the seat number to come to the training venue and experience the training face-to-face with the Knicks players.

After the passing practice, Van Gundy arranged for the players and fans to work together in groups. After relieving a resentment in his heart, Van Gundy relented before the group confrontation training, allowing the players to show off a slam dunk when they had the chance, but prohibiting all too dangerous moves.

Although the director is also angry, his mood after seeing the Knicks is also much better.

As for the audience, the mood rose with the dunk of the Knicks players. After all, except for the six lucky fans, the rest were all superstars. Don't say that Wang Zhizhi is not, he is definitely a superstar in the hearts of Chinese basketball fans.

Although Van Gundy forbade fancy moves, Lamar's every trick was still addictive to the audience. It's just that there is no end to those domineering 360-degree turns and slam dunks at the end, which makes fans a little regretful.

Although it was not as exciting as expected, the training ended smoothly. Van Gundy is very happy with the result, Wang Zhizhi is an experienced player, and although he has joined a new environment, he adapts quickly. And in training, Wang Zhizhi also showed quite good strength, although it is impossible to be the main force, but as a substitute player, it is obvious that Wang Zhibu is a very suitable candidate.

It's just that Van Gundy is satisfied, but the TV station and the organizers are not very satisfied.

Compared with the Knicks' simple and boring training, the previous Houston Rockets staged wonderful performances: dunks, fancy dribbling, air catches, consecutive three-pointers, etc.

So when compared to each other, they felt that the Knicks' training was no different from a child playing ball, in their words, it was not exciting enough.

The TV station is the mouthpiece, and he can release whatever news he wants. So in the evening, Lamar saw comments on TV about the New York Knicks players and coaches who wanted big names and took money to work but couldn't do their work.

It is hard to imagine that the training of the NBA team is at this level, and it is not as good as the Houston Rockets' remarks. What's even more annoying is that they also indirectly cut the footage of the training so that it was full of Knicks players laughing and playing during practice. It's as if Knicks' trip to Asia this time is really just to make money, and he doesn't want to contribute at all.

Van Gundy is on fire, the Knicks players are on fire, and most importantly Lamar is on fire, and his fire is big.

When it came time to play a friendly game with the Shanghai Oriental Sharks the next day, the Knicks finally let the other party see what real NBA basketball was about. The team, which won the CBA championship under the leadership of Yao Ming last season, was powerless to resist in front of the Knicks, who only played with only six players, and after only holding on for 5 minutes, they almost surrendered.

In fact, playing against opponents of different levels, Knicks players don't need to go all out at all, after all, people pay them to communicate, not to find abuse.

But the angry Knicks players didn't care about these things, and as soon as they came up to the basket of the Shanhai Oriental Sharks, it was a burst of bombardment, without the slightest intention of saving face for the other party.

In the end, the 30-minute friendly exchange match turned into a slaughter match, and the final score was 122:48. I really don't know if these last year's CBA champions will have the courage to stand on the basketball court again after this game.

Of course, these are not things that Lamar and others should be concerned about, they have already finished their trip to Shanghai, got on the plane and went to the next stop, South Korea.

It's just that every Knicks player on the plane knows that their trip to South Korea is going to be full of twists and turns.

South Korea, the land of the Great Cold! This is a country that Lamar would not want to touch for the rest of his life, if possible, because this country feels worse to him than Japan.

The Ho Seung-jin incident has just cooled down, and although Lamar is generous, his dislike for Koreans because of this has not cooled down at all. On the contrary, because of the continuous provocation of the other party to make trouble and stir up unreasonably, it was deepened.

"Lamar, what do you seem to have on your mind?" said Van Gundy, who was sitting next to Lamar, suddenly.

Lamar raised his head and looked at Van Gundy, and when he saw that the other party was preoccupied, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You seem to be talking about yourself, right?"

Looking at Van Gundy's appearance, Lamar knew what he was worried about. Because the Korean media hyped that Ha Seung Jin would join the New York Knicks, Darrell Morey and Van Gundy were so annoying that when they stood up to refute the rumors, they didn't know which tendon they were wrong, and their words were too sharp. In the end, he even pointed out that Koreans are not worthy of playing in the NBA, which indirectly led to Ha Seung Jin being investigated and the opportunity to participate in the NBA draft was lost.

Although whether the big hippo will be valued by the NBA team in the end depends on his own strength, and it is not something that Van Gundy can decide in a few words, but this hatred of South Korea has been recorded.

You must know that the South Koreans' policy of protecting everything in their country is well-known all over the world. Van Gundy buried their national treasure players so much, and it is conceivable what kind of treatment the Knicks will receive when they go to South Korea to promote this time.

"Are you worried that Koreans are not friendly to us?"

Van Gundy frowned, and said a little tangled: "Our promotional activities in Asia this time, the economic income is still secondary, and the main task is to expand the influence of the Knicks in Asia, but now things seem to be messed up by me and Darrell!"

"So what?" Lamar didn't seem to care at all: "Jeff, in fact, the main purpose of our visit to Asia this time is to develop the Knicks' business in China and Japan. As for South Korea, who cares about this little place?"

"How much does that TV broadcast take? Jeff, you don't know much about the people in South Korea!"

"South Koreans are no worse than conservative countries in the world, and although they buy TV rights from the league every year, how many games can they actually broadcast live to South Korea?

"As for the NBA, maybe in their eyes it is just a second-rate commodity, who says that there are no Koreans in the NBA? The reason why the league wants to add the South Korean battle to our itinerary this time is probably more to give the other side a disadvantage, so that their already confused brains can sober up and stop being self-righteous. ”

Van Gundy seemed to understand a little, but he also seemed to be confused, and asked suspiciously, "Then what do you mean?"

"Since they think they're better than our basketball, let's show them the real charm of NBA basketball. The difference between the two countries is that South Korea likes to give the strong a little Korean color, so they always like to say that the things of other countries are their own, while the Japanese like the strong to keep their genes in Japan, which is also the reason why Japan is the best in the world. ”

Van Gundy understood this time, but he still asked with some doubts: "But in last night's game, didn't you still ask everyone not to be in the limelight?"

Lamar smiled evilly: "This time and that time! Some people if you don't let them know what is powerful, they will always squat in their own small circle and be arrogant for the rest of their lives! I hope we can let them understand some principles of being human this time." ”

Van Gundy couldn't help but laugh, "Lamar, I see that you're becoming more and more qualified to be a villain now." If you had been born ten years earlier, your combination with Ewing would never have allowed the Bulls to dominate the league. ”

The plane landed slowly at Seoul Airport, which was much more deserted than the lively scene of 10,000 people receiving the plane when it arrived in Shanghai.

On the Korean side, there were only two staff members with big sunglasses and a look on their faces that looked like they were looking black. There were some people not far away, but they were clearly not here for the Knicks. Seeing that their group of big men just looked around curiously for a while, they didn't care.

"Hello, we are the reception staff sent by the Korean Basketball Association. One of the black-faced gods walked over, bowed slightly to Van Gundy, and said in stiff English.

The demeanor of the reception staff was very arrogant, and he didn't even mean to shake his hand.

Van Gundy was sullen for a while, and the group of young people next to him who was about to say something suddenly burst into an astonishing shout. One by one, they were excited, like they were beaten with chicken blood, jumping and shouting someone's name.

"What's going on?" Dampot was curious, "Is Michael Jackson here?"

The Haitians looked back for a while, and the others were also curious. Lamar looked behind him, only to see several more young men dressed in very attractive clothes coming out behind the Knicks, waving to the crowd as they walked.
