The Knicks' preseason training camp is about to start, and Mo Xi also ended his rest and returned to New York to start preparing for the pre-game training camp, but this year is destined to be an extraordinary year for the Knicks and Mo Xi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is the second year of the replacement of the new and old cores of the Knicks, and it is often the time when the contradictions erupt the most, but fortunately, there are a few ruthless people in the Knicks' locker room, plus this year there is a Knicks celebrity Oakley in the New York gangster period, Van Gundy himself does not care too much about the locker room environment, more than half of the players in the team are the old lineup of the Knicks, plus Mark Jackson and Oakley, the two Knicks veterans, the Knicks' local forces absolutely crush everything, but Van Gundy still doesn't count well, He still undercounts people's hearts, and sometimes, the bear child is the most terrifying.

Mo Xi took a leave of absence from Van Gundy because of his personal affairs, and came back a day later than normal, but in fact, it was also before the report date stipulated by Van Gundy, the Knicks in these seasons have been like holding back a breath of fire and can't vent it, many ambitious Knicks players, such as Sprewell, Ewing, Houston are used to returning to the Knicks earlier to start team training, Mo Xi is also like this, when he returned to the Knicks and found that there were already a few people in the arena, he was not too surprised, To his surprise, he also saw Arenas.

However, in such a hot atmosphere, Mo Xi smelled a feeling that it was not very comfortable, someone was doing something! There is actually an undercurrent under the seemingly calm surface of the Nix, but Mo Xi still feels very surprised, because these people don't seem to be the kind of people who can do things.

"Yo! Ink! You're only coming back now, how can you get the championship if you're so lazy. Arenas saw Mo Xi who walked into the training hall and took the initiative to greet him, although Mo Xi was five years older than him, but in Los Angeles, Arenas was more like a big brother, although this big brother was sometimes very unreliable.

Mo Xi was a little surprised by Arenas's current surging state, but he knew that this kid knew that after he lost the first round, he was furious and very frustrated, Mo Xi didn't expect him to adjust so quickly.

Sometimes, you know a person too well, and you tend to ignore the things that may cause because of this person, because you are too familiar with him, and everything that will happen is normal, so you subconsciously ignore it and put it in the category of normal situations. Mo Xi is like this to Arenas, so he forgets that Arenas is the one who is most likely to do something.

Although Mo Xi didn't realize it at first, he gradually realized after he put into training that even the recognized righteousness of the Knicks Larry Johnson and Sprewell for Arenas is limited to normal communication, which is really a big problem, Mo Xi doesn't believe that a rookie has finally come to the team, and they will do something to the rookies.

After the morning training, he originally wanted to take Arenas out for a meal, as a second-round show, Arenas's salary can be said to be pitiful, and he may be able to barely survive in other places, but this is a drunken New York, Arenas's salary, may also be able to eat in a small restaurant on the street, Mo Xi didn't come to help him, according to Arenas's ability to spend money, probably really starved to death on the street.

But at this time, Mo Xi was stopped by Houston.

"Mo, you come here, it won't take you too much time, there are some things for you to do."

Although Van Gundy and Knicks management began to consciously push Moxi to the core of the team, Alan Houston's identity as the captain of the team is still unshakable.

Mo Xi and Houston walked around a corner, and Mo Xi asked in a low voice, "What's going on, I feel like the atmosphere is weird, could it be that the rookie is playing tricks on the rookie went wrong?" No, I know Gilbert, he's not that kind of person. ”

Houston said helplessly: "Since you know him, then you should know his character, as a rookie, he is very qualified, but you must also know what kind of character he is." ”

Mo Xi slapped his head, I was so scared, I actually forgot this stubble, Arenas not only has a black mouth, but also black hands, but Mo Xi doesn't think that with Johnson and Spreville in charge, Arenas dares to do something with them, what went wrong?

Houston continued: "You have to know that even because of the drop in quality and the growth of new players, a lot of players either actively or passively give up their starting positions, but that doesn't mean they don't have any other ideas in their minds. ”

Mo Xi was shocked, could it be that Arenas actually went to talk about Ewing? This...... Can...... It is bound to be very uncomfortable for Mo Xi to be caught in the middle, but because of the difference in strength between the two sides, Mo Xi must still be on Arenas's side a little bit.

Houston continued: "It's not as serious as you think, it's just that the young guys are too aggressive, and it's a bit of an impact on tradition, the tradition of the team, the tradition of the league. ”

Mo Xi cautiously asked, "What did he do?" ”

Houston suddenly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that he wants to be a starter too much, and he has reached a crazy situation, desperate to use his strength to prove that he is the one who should play as a starter." ”

Mo Xi was dumbfounded for a moment, he understood what Houston meant.

There are a lot of rules in the league, like rookies carrying bags for their bosses, accepting pranks and whatever, and there are many, many private rules that even respected coaches rarely touch. The starting position actually not only means your chance to play, but also your status on the team, just like AC Green, who actually can't play for long in the Lakers, and the role is not very big, but Phil Jackson just doesn't replace him as a starter, because this is what he deserves, unless the team changes dynasty and the new core is on top. Of course, there are some people who play more than they start, but they just don't start, although he wants to.

Arenas had told Mercy when he signed with the Knicks that he would be a starter in the second half of the season. Mo Xi felt that this was just a declaration, a declaration of hard work, but he didn't expect that Houston had a lot of opinions on it.

Houston continued, "Actually, I don't have a problem with that, but I want you to teach that little friend about how to respect your seniors. ”

When Mo Xi heard this, he was a little overwhelmed, what does this mean, does it mean that Houston actually supports Arenas to fight for the starting position, but he is unhappy with Arenas's words and deeds that have crossed the line, let Mo Xi go and knock it? In private, in fact, Mo Xi really analyzed the situation on the guard line in New York with Arenas, the two point guards are people who have passed their years, and physical strength in the middle and late stages of the season will inevitably be an aspect, but Arenas's style is really not suitable for starting, once he goes to the starting position, then there will be a very embarrassing problem, there will be at least three ball points on the court, this is still the result of excluding Houston as a shooter, and Arenas Mo Xi is very well understood, If you ask him what the organization is all about, he will say, "What do I do with all that, just give me the ball and I'll score." "Is it possible to get Sprewell back to the way he was when he first came to the Knicks, and let him start organizing? Or is it a transition to Divac?

Mo Xi understands what Houston means, if Arenas can't fit into the Knicks' environment well, it is very likely that there will be rifts within the Knicks, although he is just a newcomer, but for some reason, Mo Xi thinks this is really possible.
