The deal was completed and several newcomers made their debut in New York together, showcasing their jerseys for next season. Zhou Xuan was also invited to the press conference and greeted his new teammates.

The Knicks underwent a major purge, and almost all of the players were replaced, and the only ones who played last season in their entirety were Douglas and Gallinari, who was still a second-year rookie. Belinelli, Maddie and others were also released after their contracts expired.

Maddy has now found a new owner, and the veteran has joined the Pistons with a base salary. The Pistons also want to take a gamble, and if Maddie can return to his previous 80% level, it will be profitable. But he's too iron in the Knicks, and he doesn't defend yet, so how easy is it to get back to the past? The key is that Maddie no longer has the fighting spirit, as long as he doesn't work hard, no matter how good his talent is, it will be in vain.

The press conference hasn't started yet, Vice President Glenn? Gruward chatted with Zhou Xuan on the side and asked, "Do you think you can make the playoffs next season?" Dolan talked to me, and he asked to make the playoffs next season. Originally, we were going to bring in Anthony, but it was all because of your suggestion that we gave up. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Anthony is not suitable for the team system, why don't you believe me?" He is suitable for the Lakers' kind of team, the tactics revolve around him, a few more good interior partners, positional battles again and again, and the point guard passes to him in the half. Of course, it is possible to win the championship that way, but it is more demanding of your teammates. Role players don't have much chance to shoot, they have to be efficient, and the stats won't look good. As long as I'm here, I'm sure the Knicks will be all on the side next season, and everyone will score. ”

"You haven't made the playoffs in how many years, you have too much confidence in such a group of newcomers, right?" Glenn sighed.

"Only young people can run fast, and we can attack the position. I trust my own mind, and I can't be wrong in my analysis. Zhou Xuan pointed to his head.

The ability of the positional offensive big man pitcher to attract the defense is super strong, and Zhou Xuan felt it as an opponent when he played the Knicks. When the Warriors won the championship, Marion's ability to attract defense was definitely not as good as Gallinari. He had previously proposed bringing in Radmanovic as a spare tire for Gallinari, and in case the Italian was injured, the other would play the same role in the system. Ryan? Anderson can do the same.

Replaced by Anthony, how could "Melon" honestly attract shooting opportunities such as defense on one side, and Zhou Xuan couldn't be the absolute core, so he had to share the ball. Stoudeyer has no conflict with him, as long as he blocks and picks up high according to the Suns' style of play, as long as Stodameyer is not injured, Duncan can't stop him from cutting and dunking.

Superstars can be had, Anthony wastes assists on teammates like that, and he must not come alone with the ball. With Zhou Xuan's current status in the team, Mullin, Richmond, and D'Antoni have the right to speak, and Anthony can't come even if he wants to.

Glenn likes to raise the bar with Zhou Xuan recently, but he has already been convinced. Originally, he thought that it was too childish to let a person who did not play a game and may not be able to become the core participate in the management meeting, and it was even more inexplicable to listen to Zhou Xuan's opinion, and Mu Lin trusted him too much.

But after a few days of contact with Zhou Xuan, Glenn's views have completely changed. Zhou Xuan analyzes the player's data, whether it is suitable for the system and other things, and he is more professional than the best scouts of the Knicks. He can even explain a player's height, weight, body side values, the position he is good at, some bad habits on the field, and weaknesses.

Glenn specially checked the information and compared it, and was surprised to find that Zhou Xuan was not talking nonsense, all of them were right. Who would bother to memorize these things? If you don't take the trouble to remember, you're not human.

The information collected by the scouts is something that Zhou Xuan will look at before each game. In the past two years, the Warriors have played against all teams, and he has read those materials many times, except for some rookies and fringe players, he has all the technical characteristics, specialties, and weaknesses in his mind. He somehow started to have a reading addiction, and now it's like a humanoid database.

Some things such as body side data, replaced by Mullin and Richmond, they all have to use computers and look at documents to query. Zhou Xuan participated in the meeting and talked about the characteristics of the players they wanted, and both D'Antoni and Glenn wanted to call the police.

Thinking of his rumors, as well as the piano video of "Infinite Motion", which was circulating on the Internet, Glenn said at the time: "Stephen Chow, are you really human? You're actually an alien from which star, right? It has been dormant on Earth for 400 years. ”

"Well, I've been a virgin for 400 years."

"Really?"

"Don't you think that's too incongruous?"

“……”

Glenn lost his temper after that day. Some geniuses are like monsters, and Zhou Xuan is a living example. Glenn is now glad to have listened to D'Antoni's advice and traded him. Even if you don't play basketball, you are a rare talent. This time the introduction of reinforcements from the planning to the implementation to the completion was very smooth, Zhou Xuan's analysis played a key role, they went to talk about the possible introduction of people, saving a lot of effort.

Now the Knicks are not weak, and they are likely to make the playoffs next season. There are people who can start in every position, as well as substitutes who fit into D'Antoni's tactical system.

When the fast break can't be opened, you can also hang Pekovic and Mozgov to play baskets. With the height and size of those two, there is no doubt that they have the ability to hit the basket.

After the press conference began, Pekovic, Stephenson and others took the stage to show their jerseys in turn.

As soon as he got off the stage, Pekovic went to the side to talk to Zhou Xuan and expressed his gratitude. "I heard that you offered to trade me to the Knicks, thank you so much. I don't want to play in Minnesota, where it's not as good as the Knicks. ”

"You're welcome, I think you're suitable for the team, it's a pleasure to work together in the new season, as long as you have a good inside position, I will definitely pass the ball to you, and tell me which position is confident."

"When the new season starts, you'll see what I'm capable of." Pekovic is in the right direction.

"I believe it."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Xuan believes that Pekovic has a future, this guy is too strong, he can see his muscles in a suit, and he can fight at a glance.

Mozgov is taller and bigger, and there are not many centers in the league who are more than 215CM tall, and with his height and weight, as long as he rushes to the basket after blocking and dismantling, it is enough to stand it. He said that he was very happy to join the Knicks, liked D'Antoni's tactics, and was even more happy to partner with Zhou Xuan and Stoudamire.

When asked about the starting center, Mozgov modestly said, "I haven't played in the NBA, so I hope I can get 10 to 15 minutes of playing time in my rookie season." “

Evans is also a muscular man, not tall, but very tiger, with a big beard that looks like a terrorist. He is notoriously dirty in the league, with a lot of small actions, specializing in dirty work and tiring work, and resisting people to grab rebounds. He is also more interested in the Knicks than the Raptors, and there is still some temptation in the big city, although these people just want to play, and they don't expect to win a championship.

Landry? Fields was very shy, he hadn't taken off the atmosphere of the university, like a student, he didn't say much in an interview, introduced himself, and said that he would definitely try to play his strengths. He didn't have much confidence in the playing time, he just said that it depended on the coach's arrangement.

Reims? Stephenson looked the most dragged and hung out when he greeted the media. Zhou Xuan didn't care, this kid came here as a substitute, unless Azubuuk, Mason and others were injured, nothing happened to him. He's aggressive defensively, he's going to break through, and playing a few minutes at a time might make a difference.

At this meeting, Zhou Xuan had the worst impression of Stephenson, feeling that he was so arrogant and unconvinced that people were annoying to watch.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuan drove home, it was a new car bought in New York, and the one in the past was left in Los Angeles, and the car keys were given to Mitchell, so it was inconvenient to drive to New York.

As soon as I entered the door, Martha, who was still practicing English, asked in English, "I'm back, how about meeting today?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "It's all good, except for Lance? Stephenson, this guy really looks like a criminal, and if the police ask him to participate in the identification, even if he didn't do it, the victim will point him in. ”

"You have to have a good relationship with the leaders, and they will come back to the house and entertain them." Zhou Gaozhuo instructed.

"Don't worry, I've known each other for two years, and there are no outsiders." Zhou Xuan asked, "Where are we going tomorrow, do we want to leave New York and have fun in another place?" What about Los Angeles? ”

In the past half a month, they have visited all the bustling places in New York, and they haven't gone anywhere else, and they are too eager to find a house, and they haven't visited Los Angeles yet.

Marks and Spa, shaking her head and saying, "No, your dad and I are different from you young people, just be fresh, we don't like to walk around, it's good here." And your leg has to heal, and it's best not to move around. ”

"Our visa date is also approaching, and it's time to go back next week," Zhou said. Seeing that you are doing well here, we are relieved, and Chloe also said that he will be optimistic about you. ”

"Go back so soon?" Only then did Zhou Xuan understand that when he bought this apartment, his parents did not feel sorry for money, but as long as he liked it and he lived comfortably, he would not object to spending money.

"No way, why don't you send me back again? That's not pretty, let's stay here for a while and go back next week. Martha laughed.

Zhou Gaozhuo sighed: "I didn't expect that I would also meet Hollywood stars and take photos with them one day, and they spoke so politely, I had to blow well with people when I went back, but unfortunately I didn't see your girlfriend." ”

Marks & Spa smiled: "It's a bit measured to fall in love, you are all young, so busy with your career, you are only 20 years old, and you can't get married in China yet." ”

"Zhilu said, we don't plan to get married for the time being. I will see her in the future, after filming "Harry Potter", she should stay in the United States. ”

Zhou Xuan and Emma? Watson was in contact every day, and he also video chatted, but he just ran to the UK to meet, and his legs were really inconvenient. He has to play well next season, and the time for a relationship can only be reduced.
