The next morning, Bai Xiaofei went to the team office to sign the contract, and the moment he signed the contract, Bai Xiaofei felt that the NBA was so close, close to the touch, which made the young Bai Xiaofei feel extremely excited.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Xiaofei gently pushed open the door of the stadium, the players of the Hornets were training, and most of the players were relatively unfamiliar to Bai Xiaofei, which made Bai Xiaofei, who was more able to speak on weekdays, stunned and didn't know what to say.

When Paul saw Bai Xiaofei, he opened his arms and greeted him warmly, "Welcome to the New Orleans Hornets, a big man from the East, I hope this will be your second home." ”

Bai Xiaofei stepped forward, hunched over, and hugged Paul, and the rest of the Hornets also came over to greet Bai Xiaofei.

Due to the recent shortage of manpower in the team, the internal five-on-five confrontation is Manson against other players on the field, Bai Xiaofei is still familiar with Manson, Manson put down the basketball and said to Bai Xiaofei, "Welcome, big man, there will always be a reward for your efforts, and the day you are waiting for is what you deserve." ”

Bai Xiaofei smiled, the pimples on his face were very wrinkled, and the contrast between Manson was obvious.

"You guys practice first," Manson said to the other players, and then pulled Bai Xiao into the video editing room.

"Your contract is a ten-day contract, and there are four games against the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers, and you have to play at least one good game in those four games before the team can renew you with a second ten-day contract," Manson said. There's a good chance you're going to play tonight against the Knicks, come on, watch the video. ”

Manson turned on the footage, which showed Knicks players in orange jerseys playing against other teams.

"You must understand what I am telling you, it will be very useful for your evening game."

Bai Xiaofei didn't speak, just nodded. He's still dreaming about it, and just like that, he's really become an NBA player! In fact, compared to the calm that Bai Xiaofei is in now, the domestic sports world has already been surging!

"The Knicks' main point of attack is on the inside, the team boss is power forward Amare Stoudemire, he is a terrifying scoring machine, his physical fitness is very amazing, he can dunk all kinds of violent dunks on your head, in the 21 games he played this season, he averaged 29 points per game, grabbed 11 rebounds, and shot as high as 55%, such a player, not only you, no one can prevent it, because West is suspended, so at present, the team should be with him Blekins, but obviously, Brightens simply can't guard Stoudemire, so the team will likely put you in the back of your game against him for a while. ”

Bai Xiaofei also likes to watch the NBA when he is in China, and he is quite familiar with Stoudemire, Xiao Si is nicknamed "Little Overlord", and is the No. 9 pick in the first round of Yao Ming's draft that year, and snatched the trophy of "Best Rookie" from Yao Ming in his rookie year, and partnered with Nash in Phoenix Phoenix Suns in the early years, and broke with Phoenix City on the contract last season because of frequent injuries, Phoenix signed first and then changed, and got a trade exception worth 1650 dollars from the Knicks, just like that, Xiao Si went to New York, And the New Yorkers had great expectations for Stoudemire, and in the first year, they did not hesitate to give Xiao Si a super big contract of five years and $100 million.

In the video, the Knicks missed a three-point shot, and Stoudemire took the frontcourt rebound from the opponent's head, and then smashed the ball into the basket! His head almost reached the height of the basket! After being "abused", the basket made a "squeak" sound. I couldn't feel anything when I watched the NBA video before, but now watching this kind of violent basketball up close makes Bai Xiaofei feel that his passion is burning! That's the beauty of NBA basketball!

However, as an opponent, such a perverted physical fitness made Bai Xiaofei gasp.

"Compared to Stoudemire's super destructive power on the inside, his mid-range shot is not very sure, so when you are against him, you have to try to push him out of the box," Manson continued as he watched the video, "It's not an easy task, Stoudemire not only has amazing physical fitness, but also has a good basketball IQ, he knows how to judge against different defenders, his bounce is amazing, his power is outstanding, his speed is also excellent, and against Blingins, he will attack, But in the face of you, he will fight guerrilla warfare and defeat you with speed! At the same time, it should be pointed out that his defense is not very good, and if you play against him, you have to continue to put pressure on him on the defensive end and drain his energy. ”

Bai Xiaofei looked at Xiao Si's various violent buckles in the video, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time, to be honest, Bai Xiaofei has never seen someone with such a perverted physical fitness since he touched a basketball!

"That's all we have to say about Stoudemire, if you defend it, you can show your value on the defensive end, and if you can't defend it, no one will criticize you," Manson said, switching channels in his hand, "Let's talk about the Knicks' starting center, Ronny Turyaf." ”

"Isn't Turyaf on the Lakers? When did you go to the Knicks? ”

Bai Xiaofei had a little impression of Turyaf when he watched the game when he was a child, but the impression was only that after Kobe Bryant scored, the little substitute who waved a towel on the bench and shouted all kinds of unbelievable and passionate actions, the living treasure with ecstasy pigtails, how did he become the starting center of the Knicks?

In fact, as early as 2008, Turyaf signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the Golden State Warriors, and the Lakers had the right to match, but in order to avoid the luxury tax, the Lakers gave up, and also gave up one of Bryant's few friends in the league, and in 2010, the Knicks gave David Lee to the Warriors, getting Turyaf, Anthony Randolph, Azubuike and a future second-round pick.

"As the team's starting center, Turiaf's height and weight are relatively small, which is an advantage for you, but if you underestimate him, then you are making a big mistake, Turiaf has very good defensive skills and defensive awareness, and is full of hard work, belongs to the energy type of player, although the offensive ability is insufficient, but is a qualified basket guardian," Manson said, "against such a player, you have no skill at all, fight with him, grab with him, and do not hesitate to be in the key position, Back-to-back attacks are the best technique. ”

"In addition to those two players, there are two players that you want to pay attention to, which is Eddie Curry and Anthony Randolph. Eddie Curry has the ability to play a dominant game on the offensive end, but this person is not very competitive and lazy, and has been excluded from the Knicks' rotation lineup, but when the weather is good and the mood is good, Curry still has the possibility of exploding, "Manson holds the remote control in his hand, constantly cutting off the video, or the camera is in slow motion, "The second player is Anthony Randolph, he is a very potential player, last season was only the second year of his rookie season, Averaging 13.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, he is a very good all-round left-handed player, can hold the ball, can play inside, can break through, can make fouls, if the game enters his rhythm, then it will be difficult to be pulled back, but he has a very fatal flaw, that is, he is very afraid of physical confrontation, he always avoids playing on the court, which is why the NBA, which advocates muscle and strength, does not work at all, to deal with such a player, you have to take the initiative to have physical contact with him, disrupting his rhythm of the game. ”

Manson closes the screen and clicks on another screen again, showing an outside player breaking through with the ball.

"He's Raymond Felton, the starting point guard for the Knicks, this player is averaging 14 points per game this season and dishing out 6.7 assists, it's worth noting that most of his offensive means rely on his weight to squeeze inside, and against him, you have to pay attention to your own defensive position, see the timing of Felton's shots, and send blocks."

Manson turned on another video camera, and the picture showed a white man shooting an arrow with a bow from beyond the three-point line, and his three-point shot was like shooting with a scope, all hollow into the net, and the accuracy was incomparable.

"He's Danilo Gallinari, a player from Italy, he's the biggest threat to the outside in the entire Knicks team, he averaged nearly 16 points per game last season, and his three-point shooting rate is close to 40%, unlike traditional shooters, he has the ability to score on his own in addition to three-point shots, he can control the ball and deliver assists, and he should be in the opposite position on our team, if Gallinari gets rid of Ariza, you have to help fill in the position at all times."

Bai Xiaofei nodded, except for nodding, he didn't know what else he was doing.

"Tactically, it's clear that Stoudemire is the No. 1 point of attack and can maximize his attack in pick-and-roll play, and Tony Douglas, the Knicks' backup point guard, is also a pick-and-roll player, so you have to keep an eye out for defensive fills, and if Touriaf is going to give Stoudemire a chance at the free-throw line, you have to be aware of that defensive change as well."

Bai Xiaofei looked at Stoudemier's various violent deductions and various violent deductions on the screen, and couldn't help but shudder, the nickname "Little Overlord" is really worthy of its name, before today, Bai Xiaofei has never seen such a terrifying opponent!

"Okay, I'm done with what I should say, it's up to you now," Manson walked into Bai Xiaofei, touched Bai Xiaofei's head, and said, "You have just entered the team, and the run-in with the team is not enough, it is unrealistic for you to integrate into the team's tactical system in a short period of time, on the court, you have to use your brain to play, pass the ball when you see your teammates have a vacancy, attack when you have a chance, don't hesitate, don't make mistakes, don't have baggage, it doesn't matter if you can't score, it doesn't matter if you're blocked, you must have confidence in yourself!" ”

Bai Xiaofei pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"The game is about to start, go on, big Chinese dinosaurs."

"The Great Chinese Dinosaur?" Bai Xiaofei asked suspiciously, "My new nickname?" ”

"Yes, a media friend gave you the name, there is a player in the NBA who is nicknamed the big shark, you are the big dinosaur, and you are the big dinosaur in China."

Manson laughed, showing his white teeth, Bai Xiaofei was suddenly stunned, in the nearly a month of Manson's training, Bai Xiaofei had never seen Manson smile, and now that he had been signed by the team, Manson had a sense of relief.

"Come on, young man!"
