After losing the Atlantic Zone War against their arch-rivals the Celtics, the 6-5 New York Knicks improved their results from the same period last season. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If you put aside the record, judging from the content and process of the game, the progress of this youth army is still very obvious. Last season's recurrent routs have not been seen so far, thanks to the combined efforts of the coaching staff and the players.

Against strong teams like the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Hawks, the Knicks can always save the suspense of the game until the end, no matter what the team's state is. Such a change shows that the boys in the team are gradually growing, and the New York giants are getting stronger and stronger. The good atmosphere in the team's dressing room not only allows the players to give their hands on the pitch, but also greatly enhances the tenacity of this youth team. It is foreseeable that if this momentum continues, the future of the Knicks is limitless.

Just as the team's coaching staff and boys are preparing for the upcoming four-game road trip to the West. Knicks owner James Murphy, who has been out for a long time. Dolan, once again in person with his henchman Woning. Chapman's office.

Many of the team's employees were hiding in their offices, talking about the man who was following the boss. Russell. Danzer, the team owner's childhood friend, almost had a close relationship with James. Dolan is inseparable, and those who don't know the inside story are most interested in what the real relationship between the two is.

When Chapman's eyes swept over the boss's small hair, there was a hint of disdain. If Danzawa hadn't met the boss around him, he would have been as homeless as a wild dog on the streets. Now, he's James. A family dog bred by Dolan.

As the boss's confidant, Chapman is well aware that the relationship between the two is not as bad as the outside world thinks. Danze doesn't have the ability to be serious, but it's a good thing to take a horse and walk and laugh and amuse. Moreover, one of the biggest faults of this person is lust.

Two years ago, a female Knicks employee sued Knicks general manager Smile Assassin Isiah. Thomas's ****** case once caused a stir in the league. In fact, the real protagonist of this lawsuit is none other than Russell. Denzer. Thomas is just trying to get the celebrity around the boss and be accused of going to court as an accomplice.

Finally, James. It took Dolan $3 million to settle the case. It can also be seen from the other side that most people see an unliterate Russell. Danze, who is also worth at least $3 million from the Knicks boss.

A parasite like Denzer can be so popular in front of Dolan, and there must be a place for him to live. Every time he appeared in public with his boss, he ran back and forth like a pug. The experience of playing with Dolan from childhood to adulthood has made Dan Ze know the preferences and temperaments of this standard rich second generation well. Every look and every action of the boss expresses the meaning, he can use the shortest time to make the most suitable response to the other party's heart.

And like today's meeting with the boss's henchmen, Dan Ze will transform into a good brother who is loyal and courageous, and if the boss has anything inconvenient to say, he can put it on the table directly without fear.

After the three of them sat down, the first person to open their mouths was Danze, who regarded himself as the spokesperson of the Knicks boss.

"Woning, the team's results this year don't seem to have surprised the majority of Knicks fans as you promised before!"

Bullshit, the season has just begun, and a month hasn't even passed, so what can we do now? Faced with this bully, Chapman tried to suppress the anger in his heart. Glancing at the boss who was playing with the pipe in his hand, the other party didn't seem to mean to speak.

"You pushed for a trade this summer, Tyson. Chandler hasn't played even a minute for the team until now. Can you explain the situation of this big man? ”

Chapman has been keeping an eye on Tyson, who is recovering from an injury. Chandler, from the feedback so far, the Knicks' most important signing this summer is going well. If there are no accidents, he should be back in mid-January. And, according to Mr. Snyder, who presides over Chandler's rehabilitation program, the toe injury that has been plaguing the excellent center forward is likely to be completely healed.

"Tyson's situation has always been under my control, and I'm sure in the near future, Knicks fans will be glad that the team has this quality interior player who has gotten rid of injuries."

Although it was Denzer who asked the question, Chapman's answer was to the team owner who was really in control.

Danze, who felt that his dignity had been violated, wanted to have a seizure. But a casual move from Dolan made him quickly put aside this little unhappiness.

"Well, we'll talk about that later. I came here today mainly to talk about Amare. ”

Hearing this, the general manager of the Knicks was shocked. Could it be that the owner's interest in the player has not diminished after a long offseason?

It turned out that Chapman personally sent Dolan over as soon as he made a plan to strengthen the team this summer. Unexpectedly, the owner took a few cursory glances and threw it aside, and asked him to find a way to get the Suns' All-Star power forward Amare. Stoudemire. In order to dispel this idea from the owner, Chapman had to put the current situation of the team on the table, and there was no suitable chip in his hand to trade this big man who could run, jump and shoot. After painstaking persuasion and swearing, I like to think that a play is a James. Dolan agreed to temporarily abandon plans to bring in a Suns power forward.

It's not that Chapman has any prejudices about Stoudemire, but he knows very well that head coach D'Antoni has always been obsessed with this subordinate player. But there are several reasons why the general manager of the Knicks has scruples.

One is Stoudemire's injury history, in the 05-06 season he recuperated for a full year due to minimally invasive knee surgery, although the performance of the little bully on the court is still excellent after returning from injury, but no one knows when Stoudemire, who relies on athleticism to play, will suddenly collapse. In addition, during an intra-team training session with the Suns last season, he was defeated by Burres Bush. Dio accidentally poked his eye, causing him to miss most of the season.

Secondly, the team already has a player with a similar style to the Suns' power forward, and if Stoudemire is forced to take, the price to pay is a bit too heavy for the young Knicks.

Thirdly, the team's goal this year is to improve their defensive capabilities, and if they want to achieve better results, it is not enough to rely on flashy attacks. And Stoudemire isn't a great defender, which goes against the Knicks' development needs.

As the general manager of the New York Knicks, Chapman's dream is to build an invincible dynasty. Now, he has found the cornerstone of the team's rise, the incredibly talented Chinese talent. In addition, a group of young players with good potential and obvious progress in the Knicks team will become the right-hand man of the Chinese guy to dominate the league as long as they are tempered for another year or two. In his eyes, the foundation of the dynasty team needs not only the right players, but also the experience of the players growing together. Like the kind of luxury lineup that was put together for the championship on the fly, the situation is better, and after a short period of glory, it is immediately depressed, and the worse is not as good as before.

Like the Pistons in '04 and the Celtics in '08, the team's combat effectiveness has decreased significantly after winning the championship, and although they still maintain a good level, they are destined to no longer stand on the highest podium. And the F4 of the Lakers in '04 belongs to the latter template. The superstars who suddenly joined destroyed the team's good chemistry.

And the Knicks team that Chapman has worked so hard to run, judging by their performance in more than ten games this season, they are on their way to success. But today, the sudden arrival of the team owner has put the general manager of the Knicks in a dilemma.

"Boss, although the team's current record is not as good as expected, I believe that with your eye, you can see the progress of the lads."

Chapman's quiet slap on the back made James. Dolan's face had noticeably improved a lot. In order to keep the dynasty team he had worked so hard to build, the general manager of the Knicks got up and took out a form from the desk not far away, and handed it to the boss with a respectful expression.

"This is the result of a survey of the fans we conducted against the Celtics."

On the table, the selection of the team's current lineup and performance accounts for more than 60%. The number of fans who chose to wait and see reached 30%. Less than 10 percent of the players looking to increase the selection of star players.

After seeing this questionnaire, James. Dolan had a smile on his face. Once, in the darkest Isaiah of the Knicks. During the Thomas era, angry protests from fans could be heard at almost every home stadium, and they chanted together "James. Dolan, fuck off! How can the super-rich second generation, who thinks highly of themselves, endure it. Even if his childhood friends have been saying good things about the 'Smiling Assassin', even if Thomas still has a three-year, $15 million contract, it can't stop Dolan from firing the entire team's management.

Now it seems that I made a wise decision.

"Haha! Well done, Vonin. However, is there really no way out of the matter of Amare? ”

Since coming here, the Knicks boss, who spoke for the first time, finally showed a satisfied smile. And Russell, who sat on the side and didn't have a chance to interject. Dan Ze kept scolding in his heart: "Sycophant ......"

"Boss, if we choose to make a move at this time, then by next summer, the team will have very limited space to operate."

Rather than directly dismissing his boss's suggestion, Chapman analyzed the cost of the deal. The summer of '10 is the season that countless NBA team general managers are looking forward to. Like 'Little Emperor' James, 'The Flash' Wade, 'Nuggets Prince' Cameron. Anthony, 'Dragon King' Chris. Bosh, 'Little Overlord' Stoudemire, 'Eagle King' Joe. Johnson, 'Gentleman Ray' Ray. Aaron, 'Truth' Pierce, 'The Norn' Dirk. Nowitzki, 'Yao Ming's nemesis' Carlos. Boozer and a number of other high-quality players will become full free agents.

The owners of every team want to make a difference in the free market with such a high quality of players. The above names represent the guarantee of the box office. While the Knicks are not short of money, James. Dolan has an unusual desire for a good name. He hopes to surpass his father and become the most successful owner in Knicks history.

"Hmmm! When you say that, I'm a little anxious. ”

Dolan, who rarely takes the initiative to admit his mistakes, is overwhelmed with excitement at the thought that those long-established superstars could be adopted for themselves next summer.

"Woning, I'm more optimistic about the combination of Dwayne and Cameron, what do you think?"

No way! You're not crazy, I'm going to be driven crazy by you. Let's not talk about whether people are willing to come or not, even if you want to come, how much salary do you pay? But don't say you don't care about money, you must know that the luxury tax that exceeds the salary space, even the $33 billion Trail Blazers boss Paul. Alan had to think it through.

"Ugh! If you want to get these two players, I think you have to find a good home for the Chinese player Sun Yi. Otherwise, the problem of the ball possession of the three of them will greatly affect the team's combat effectiveness. ”

Still without direct opposition, the general manager of the Knicks continued to knock on the side.

"Shhh Yes, yes, I didn't think of that. ”

The boss's words really made Chapman break out in a cold sweat. However, Dolan's IQ is not as bad as it seems.

"Well, that little guy is good, and we raised it. Well, you prepare a plan for summer signings as soon as possible, and I hope to have a name worthy of the Knicks on this list. ”

Ha ha! Knicks' name. Boss, the name was a bit catchy until you took over the team. But now, apart from some prospective star players who are willing to come here, there will be any superstar who wants to come to this team known as the 'star black hole'.

Chapman's heart complained, of course, will not be spoken.

"Okay, I'll do my best. If some of the young players in the squad can play this season, I think we have a good chance of getting at least one superstar this summer. ”

The Knicks general manager promised the owner's request while hinting that the team would be consistent this season. Only a stable environment can make the young people in the team grow faster.

Knicks GM's performance today made Russell. Dan Ze felt a sense of imminent crisis. For people like him, what they are most afraid of is meeting an opponent who is both capable and capable of doing things.

Of course, in Chapman's eyes, Danze, who makes a living by inviting pets, is not worthy of being his opponent at all. And the promise to the boss just now is more of a temporary compromise. Because he believes that this Knicks team will surprise everyone by the end of the season. (To be continued.) )
