Chapter 26: The Starters?

October 28, the last day of preparation before the regular season.

Xu Xuan just wanted to rest after a day of training, and Tim Hardaway Jr. came to Xu Xuan with his mobile phone in a hurry.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Xuan threw the stinky socks in his hand at him in disgust: "Stay away from me." ”

"Look at this Xu, keep it you'll like it." Tim Hardaway Jr. was not angry and shook his phone.

"Where's this girl?" Xu Xuan glanced at him obliquely.

"No, it's not a girl, ranking, the strength ranking just given by ESPN!"

"Ranking?" Xu Xuan muttered, "Take it and take a look." ”

Before the start of each season, big TV stations like ESPN and TNT do all this bells and whistles.

Obviously, Tim Hardaway Jr. has this in his hand.

Xu Xuan took it and took a look.

Little Emperor LeBron James ranked first, Durant was second, Chris Paul was third, Duncan Sr., who just led the team to win the championship was fourth, the Knicks were fifth, the mamba in Los Angeles was sixth, Eros was seventh, and the original eighth was Pickle Pepper, but unfortunately, Pickle Pepper was injured.

Yes, he didn't escape this fatal injury!

The Pacers have announced that he will be reimbursed for the season!

Griffin made up for eighth, Golden State's Ku Hao hit the top ten for the first time, ranked ninth, and the bearded man picked up the leak to become tenth.

From this ranking, it can be seen that it is now the newcomer in charge.

You see, the newcomers, led by Tim Duncan, almost occupy six - seventy percent of the top ten seats!

"Want to know how many places you're in?" Tim Hardaway Jr. gave a wicked grin.

"I don't want to."

"Hey, man, you really don't want to at all?"

"Yes."

"Well, actually, if you beg me a little, I'll tell you, I really don't lie to you."

"I don't want to know, but if you insist on telling me, I won't resist."

“......”

Xu Xuan ranked 326th.

300 people outside.

And Langston Galloway, the Knicks' other point guard, is ranked around 250, dozens of places higher than Xu Xuan.

This ranking doesn't have much impact on Xu Xuan, the strength is out!

Just like Derrick Rose back then, there were still more than 100 in his rookie season, and when he finished his rookie season, his ranking jumped directly to the top 10 all of a sudden!

He doesn't need respect now, because he hasn't played his strength yet!

Strength is the only way to earn respect!

......

On the last day of training, Xu Xuanman thought that he might try something new and new tactics, but unfortunately, under the sharp eyes of the old Zen master, Fisher and Rambis used their very wise leadership skills to familiarize everyone with the triangle attack again.

Melon sat on the sidelines and yawned.

In fact, he rarely participates in the team's tactical training, which he considers "stupid", unless it is really boring, or he spends his time practicing on his own.

The old Zen master's gaze was gloomy, and there was a trace of cold air when he caught a glimpse of the melon in the corner of his eye.

But he can't help it, in Melon's contract, there is a very clear stipulation, Melon can refuse any training on triangle tactics!

In fact, at first, Melon was ready to leave New York because of this point was not negotiated, and when the old Zen master found out that Melon was really likely to leave, he was forced to agree to Melon's "special request".

The atmosphere within the Knicks is weird.

First of all, the lineup is very unreasonable, with 8 outside lines and 7 inside lines.

But in reality, only 13 of the 15-man squad are now available to play.

Calderón in the No. 1 position and Andrea Banyani in the No. 4 position are both injured at the moment and are not sure when they will be available.

Among the 13 people who can play so far, Melon is undoubtedly the most transcendent.

His status in the team is even higher than that of Fisher.

Xiao Si and melon are two styles.

Xiao Si has a good popularity with the Knicks, but his explosive strength can no longer be exerted due to injuries.

On top of that, Smalls chose to exercise his player option this summer, which made him the Knicks' highest-paid man!

$23.41 million!!

This decision undoubtedly upset many people, including the boss Dolan, Zen master Phil Jackson and even me.

Dolan is because the money was spent, and the Zen master is because Xiao Si's 23.41 million occupies too much salary space in the team, so he can't do anything at all in the summer.

Of course, Xiao Si and melon naturally can't pee together.

The phrase "the enemy of what enemy is a friend" does not work well here.

Xu Xuan has been with the Knicks for so long, and he has basically never seen these two people communicate in the locker room and in the training ground, even if they communicate on the court, the communication is very limited.

The two bigwigs in the team are not compatible, and at the same time they are at odds with the management......

thing.

Xu Xuan had some inexplicable headaches, and he began to worry about his future journey.

Under such an environment every day, it seems that his desire to thrive is quite difficult to achieve......

Who will start tomorrow?

After training, Fisher did not announce his starting line-up for tomorrow.

It stands to reason that it should be announced this evening, but Lao Yu didn't say anything.

Leave it in suspense? Still undecided?

Xu Xuan silently guessed, it shouldn't be a stupid thing like leaving suspense, that is, it wasn't decided?

Of the five starting positions, the other four should be relatively clear, so is it only the No. 1 position?

"Xu is very playmaker, and we don't really need a very strong scoring point guard." In the conference room, Lao Yu, Lambis, and Zen Master were discussing tomorrow's starting list.

'He can play the ball for Carmelo, he can make the ball for Amare, he can make the ball for Thiem. Rambis added: "The most important thing is that he understands triangle tactics well, he's smart and knows a lot of things. ”

Rambis's words made the Zen master's eyes light up, and he could treat the previous ones as nonsense, but this sentence was more valuable.

From the old Zen master's point of view, nothing else matters, but players who can play triangle offense are basically good players, aren't they?

Lao Yu knew things when he saw the Zen master's expression...... It's already set!

So what kind of game this "lucky Oriental kid" can play is up to him!

Thinking of the previous appearance of Da Yao galloping in the league, the old fish suddenly had some expectations, is it possible that this young Chinese will create all kinds of miracles in the NBA like his predecessors?

That place in China has been a miracle since ancient times!
