Touting rookies in the NBA is the norm.

It's like LeBron James can't wait to call this year's No. 19 rookie Hickson the answer to the box that Cleveland has been searching for for years.

Boston also boasted that No. 9 pick O'Bryant was a gift from heaven and that he would inject a strong and youthful momentum into Boston.

Dwyanwade has spoken out that Michael Beasley is the most talented player he's ever seen, while also admiring Beasley's spirit of getting up early every morning to train.

Comparatively... Although Li Zhen's boast of the team's rookie was a little too specific, it didn't make many waves.

However, there are many people who question that Yi Jianlian will definitely not be able to become the top five break dancers in the NBA, and Shakel O'Neal is the first to say... He is a one-of-a-kind break dancing genius, and if Yi Jianlian wants to go further, hurry up and call him.

Yi Jianlian is becoming an active figure in the NBA in the form of breakdancing, and he may not have expected it as an introvert.

Recently, the most heated discussion within the Knicks is Yi Jianlian's sentence 'I like to be passive'.

After all the enthusiastic messages from Zach Randolph and Eddie Griffin, he finally said why he had run away from the model room: I don't like to act too actively, I like to be passive.

Forehead....

This sentence instantly became a famous saying.

Where did this group of wolf-like black brothers understand the oriental winding path of the United Arab Emirates, and they were even suppressed.

It was a long time before they burst into laughter.

Then, it became the first famous quote of the UAE in the team.

And it drove the interaction on the court.

Whenever the UAE came on the court to practice tactics, Zach and Eddie and others would shout from the sidelines: Hey, pass the ball to Yi, he likes to ......be passive.

Well, unintentionally planted willows and willows.

This sentence actually allowed the UAE to integrate into the Knicks' new tactics faster, and he was even the fastest player to integrate into this batch of new players.

On the one hand, it is because the team bosses make balls for him, and on the other hand, it is because he has had a lot of cooperation with Li Zhen, the core of the team.

All of the Knicks' tactics are based on the characteristics of Lee Zhen.

So, the speed at which he fused was amazing.

Gallinari is a fixed-point shooter, and he is also quick to integrate.

Marc Gasol and Dragic haven't been able to adapt to the pace of the NBA, and their mindsets haven't switched yet...... This is probably a common problem for European players. As strong as Spanolus, known as the king of Europe, he played in the NBA for less than two seasons and ran back to Europe in disgrace.

However, Marc Gasol and Dragic are unlikely to have the same tragedy as Spanoulis. They entered the NBA at a younger age, with Marc Gasol having attended high school in the United States, and Dragic's style of play was originally American. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before he integrates, not to mention that there is Li Zhen in charge.

It's DeAndre Jordan who is a headache.

This guy is just like what his scouting report wrote, he has no offensive talent at all, his shooting is like throwing a shot put, and his free throw shooting rate is less than 40%, and he is at a loss on the offensive end. (However, this changed dramatically with his partner with Li Zhen, because he is the kind of cake eating genius that is unique in ten thousand.) Just reach his area, throw the basketball over, and he will be able to smash the basketball into the hoop. ）

In addition, Jordan showed a strong presence on the defensive end, his height, reach, and athleticism were amazing, and Dragic ate his blocks every day on the training court.

Moreover, the most surprising thing about this guy to the coaching staff is... Cover quality.

He provides high-quality cover to defenders and forwards.

Isaiah Thomas even said, "He's probably the Knicks' best center at covering in the last decade." ”

Unfortunately, he and Zach Randolph never found a tacit understanding. He can only be most effective when he plays with two space-oriented forwards, Eddie Griffin or Yi Jianlian...... But his maximum effect doesn't seem to have much energy.

Do you want to engage in two sets of internal teams?

The coaching staff is thinking about that.

The reason for the coaching staff to think seriously is that Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph are a natural pair, and they have already been a perfect match with Mark Gasol when he has not yet been able to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.

Wait until Marc Gasol is fully adapted, then he can't take off??

……

The Knicks' training camp officially kicked off on September 29, and the new players were officially unveiled to the public.

Yi Jianlian officially received his No. 11 jersey. Dragic chose No. 7, Gallinari No. 8 and Marc Gasol No. 32.

The appearance of this group of young players has mixed joy and sorrow for the New York media.

The good thing is that Li Zhen openly touted their strength on TV, although it is customary to tout rookies, but fans who are familiar with Li Zhen know that he is never untargeted, and there must be a basis for saying so.

But the worry is that the Knicks' age is instantly pulled to the level of the youth army.

Aside from 31-year-old Stephen Marbury, the oldest player turned out to be 27-year-old Zach Landorf.

What's even more troubling is that Isaiah Thomas actually announced two days ago that Randolph will take on a more important role and he will be the captain of the team.

Isn't that a fuss?

Although everyone believes that Zach Randolph has reformed his ways, a man who claims that he has to play with two girls every day after a game, a man who drives and admires the art of Dongying, and a man who holds a memorial service in a nightclub... There's no way to tie it to the image of the captain.

The captain has to lead by example.

Do you want the captain to lead this group of young lads to the abyss of depravity?

New York fans really don't want to see basketball Mecca turn into a garden of depravity.

It's a big surprise.

Zach Randolph actually made a surprising move at the media open day.

In front of all the reporters, he actually took out a thick stack of cards from his pocket.

"It's my VIP card for various nightclubs across the country, including 19 in New York."

"I decided to burn them in front of everyone."

"Because, I'm getting married."

"I'm going to be a responsible man, and I'm going to be a role model for my family."

"The prodigal son of yesteryear is dead."

"Standing in front of everyone now is Zach - Speaking of Civilization and Tree New Wind - Randolph!!"

Forehead.......

Randolph said this in righteous words.

Everyone was stunned, including Isaiah Thomas who was passing by next to him, and Li Zhen, who was taking makeup photos next door.

What's the whole thing?

Is it so ruthless?

Teacher Zha, there is no need for this.

"I want to be a model for a good man in the new era." Zach Randolph said, patting his chest.

He's serious.

Poof!

However, the reporters around them couldn't resist this excitement, even if they were professionally trained: they really hadn't seen this kind of scene.

Randolph didn't care what the reporters thought, anyway, he had already put his good man persona on his forehead.

And emphasized: "I told my fiancée that I would get married when I won the championship." I'm going to show her my loyalty with a championship ring. ”

The reporters were stunned for a while before they came back to their senses: "So, our goal this year is to compete for the championship?" ”

"For my marriage, of course."

Randolph's righteous expression gives a strong sense of black humor.

All in all, he became famous.

He became the brightest cub of the media day.

Almost all basketball media are reporting on his 'reform and returning to the right' with bad intentions, no one believes that he will really become the good man in his mouth, and they don't believe that he can do it to talk about civilization and build a new style, isn't it funny?

Even his former teammate Darius Miles is teasing: So, which new club is the name of the new club?

But Zach Randolph took skepticism and malicious ridicule lightly.

These are just a few small twists and turns in my ability to become a good man, and they will not affect my determination.

When he said this, Li Zhen was a little ashamed of himself.

Because before chatting with Zach Randolph, he also said to Ashley Olsen on the other end of the phone: miss you.

But in fact, he had just come out of Anne Hathaway's mansion.

He felt more and more comfortable with this bad man model.

I'm really worried that one day I'll find out.

The anxiety in Li Zhen's heart is like a sharp knife hanging above his head, and it is not a way to go on like this, there must be a showdown.

Even Zach Randolph is starting to be a good man.

Alas!

The pressure in the dressing room is mounting.

……

The preseason season officially arrived after a week of training for the Knicks.

It's a part of the season to help players who have just come out of a long break lose weight and get back in shape, as well as to look at new players and how to get used to it.

The Knicks' first opponent is the Houston Rockets, who claim to scare the league.

Although Tracy Maddie claims to be completely healthy, his bloated size suggests that he is not really ready.

However, that didn't stop the Rockets from taking the game.

Because Yao Shu finally got enough rest this summer, although he played the entire Olympics. But in reality, he didn't expend his energy as much as he did in previous years, and even the foot injury that had plagued his entire career was completely healed this summer...... Lee's presence really gives him more time and energy to take care of his body, and the leadership doesn't put pressure on him because of this.

Adelman has a strong desire to win this match, and he has fielded all his main players from the start.

On the other hand, the Knicks always threw Li Zhen to the bench, and Li Zhen played 3 minutes in the whole game, taking Yi Jianlian, DeAndre Jordan, Gallinari and Dragic four rookies to play a few rounds of fast breaking, narrowing the point difference to single digits, and then throwing it to Randolph.

It can be seen that Randolph is indeed reforming.

He doesn't even talk trash on the pitch anymore.

Moreover, he kept calling his teammates to run, and also assisted Marc Gasol to integrate into the lineup faster.

If it weren't for the last-minute moment when Marc Gasol was pushed down by Karl Landry, he rushed over and overthrew Randolph to the ground...... People would have to believe that he was a good leader of character and learning.

However, it was this move that made Li Zhen feel that Randolph was indeed changing.

Because even in that angry moment, he didn't swear. Instead, he roared: Even if God forgives you, I can't forgive you.

It's too... Literary and artistic.

Li Zhen was holding his head at that time, and he felt unbearable.

He was afraid that in the next second Zachrandolph would utter a sonnet.

Randolph was then called to the bench.

The Knicks simply put in five new players and left them to fend for themselves on the court.

The coaching staff sat calmly on the sidelines and watched their unstructured performance.

"Our goal now is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the players and understand the players that is the beginning of the victory."

Even though the game was slaughtered by 28 points, Isaiah Thomas was still calm and smiling.

It seems to be a fourteen-year-old boy who is nourished by love.
