Truth be told, Smith's first impression on Roy wasn't too good. No, strictly speaking, very bad. His tugging eyes and tattoos all over his body reminded Roy of an old man, Lu Maoyun.

The same evil spirit, the same nobody, the same bohemianism, such a comparison, the old enemy Jaylen Brown standing on the side is much cuter.

There are many legends of Smith, of course, more than 80% of them are negative, even bizarre, to put it simply.

1. Fighting. Smith was a common thing, and he was known for his fighting skills in high school. After entering the NBA, he carried it forward, elbowing Terry and punching Collins. And his NBA fame was completed in New York, and after a suspension for a scuffle with Nate Robinson at Madison Square Garden, he also brought that "glorious tradition" to China, where he almost got into a fight with local fans while playing for the CBA Zhejiang team.

2. Drag racing. In 2007, because of a drag racing accident that killed his friend Andre Bell on the spot, Smith was sentenced to 90 days in prison and fell into infinite self-blame. After that, Smith did not change his malignancy, he not only repeatedly got fines for speeding, but also derived two other vices from "drag racing" - sexual harassment and slapping! Because of such, he was also banned.

3. Nerves. The reason why Smith first got the nickname "Nerve Knife" was that compared to the "nerves" of other players playing on the basketball court, Smith was really nerve-wrenching. He once untied Marion's shoelaces in the Mavericks and later untied Monroe's shoelaces in the Pistons. Of course, in addition to the shoelaces, Smith didn't even let go of the headband, and in the game with his idol Carter, he even tried to pull Carter's headband, what kind of weird guy is this?

Smith is now on display in front of everyone.

He walked into the locker room with Jaylen Brown, followed by the team's general manager, Mills, and head coach Hornacek.

In a simple meeting ceremony, Mills and Hornacek introduced and exchanged a few words of greetings, even if they brought the two into the team and pushed them to everyone.

It's that simple? The team suddenly has three fewer people and two more (Claude is still recovering from injury), so there is no need for some induction ceremony or a collective welcome of the players?

For a rookie like Roy, the unexpected changes in the team did make it difficult for him to adapt, and those NBA veterans were much more comfortable, Smith said hello, and Noah enthusiastically asked Jaylen Brown to find a place to sit.

However, compared to the curious Jaylen Brown, Smith was in a noticeably bad mood, and he barely responded to anyone's greetings except for the greetings of Rose and Noah.

Smith remembers this place, he spent three and a half years in this luxurious locker room, and he even won the Sixth Man of the Year trophy in New York. But alas, that's all in the past, and his overall impression of the New York Knicks isn't too good, and in the year he left, he had a lot of arguments with management, with the head coach, and with the fans. After that, he fled New York and came to Cleveland. With the Cavaliers, he got the coveted championship trophy, and he burst into tears at the press conference that he thought he was going to live with the Cavaliers, in Cleveland, in Ohio.

As a result, fate dramatically brought him back to New York and back to the Knicks.

Why trade me?. Smith is actually very disgusted with this deal, he is a man of talent and pride, he has an extremely fragile self-esteem, and now kicking him back to New York as an add-on to the Anthony trade (just to balance the salary) makes him blow up.

"Why are you putting my cupboard in this position?", Smith's first words were not very polite.

Like the NBA, which is ranked by seniority, the order of the team's locker is also particular. Generally speaking, the higher the status of the star, the more inward the cabinet. Therefore, the locker closets of the core of the team and the stars are hidden deep in the locker room, and the cabinets left for rookies and marginals are by the door.

Smith exploded when he found out that his cabinet was behind Porzingis and Roy, "These stupid staff members are still as stupid as they used to be, and they forgot that I don't like to hang my jersey outside the cabinet." ”

Smith's resentment grew, and the atmosphere in the locker room couldn't help but become awkward, and even Hernangomez was shocked by this fierce guy, and he simply chose not to speak.

However, Smith will let you go, probably because he heard Hernangomez talking about Anthony at the door before, and this Anthony's fox friend also wanted to give Hernangomez a little color.

He walked straight up to Hernangomez and commanded him.

"Rookie, I've just finished a physical examination and I'm a little thirsty, help me buy a bottle of drink and come back."

TF, Hernangomez obviously didn't expect this terrifying tattooed man to directly name and ask him to help him do things, he was stunned for a moment, and the pestle remained in place.

Smith was completely furious, and his accumulated dissatisfaction completely exploded, "Rookie, do you not understand the rules or what?" I'm an old man here, do you need to respect me? ”

Smith shouted angrily, and the entire locker room fell silent in an instant.

What should I do now? Many people are already stunned.

Time is ticking by, and no one dares to act rashly.

"Willy (Hernangomez), you go to practice first." At the critical moment, Rose came out to play the round, and he nodded and motioned for Hernangomez to go out, Smith.

"Hey, man, the current post-90s players don't know the rules very well, unlike us back then, don't mind too much."

Seeing Hernangomez depart, Smith stood up without saying a word.

"It's so pitiful, when did the Knicks boss become so weak......"

Smith threw away the words, and the locker room was still......

……

"I'm X, it's terrible, Abby, you don't know how bad it was, if it were me, I'd have to fight that bastard, Rose is too patient."

Later in the day, Roy described to Abby what had happened in the locker room this morning, and it was probably the most locker room incident he'd ever had since he played.

Of course, there is definitely no way to talk about this kind of thing to the media, so Roy chose to talk to Abby.

Speaking of Roy and Abby, their development speed can be described as fast, and now as long as they don't go to an away game, Roy will basically choose to have dinner with Abby. On the recommendation of Phil Jackson, they found a very good Chinese restaurant in New York.

Named "Guangzhou Tea House", this three-story restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, has a modest exterior but a luxurious interior and a first-class environment.

The owner of the Guangzhou Tea House is a native Cantonese who is very good at doing business. In addition to his high requirements for dishes and environment, he also opened exclusive services for some high-end VIP guests, in order to ensure the privacy of these celebrity customers, he also designed quite a lot of hidden large and small boxes in the hotel.

As a New Yorker, he was also a big fan of Roy. Under the recommendation of Phil Jackson, he met Roy and left Roy a special private room for Roy to occupy at any time in the future if Roy wanted to come.

Tonight, after playing a home game against the Pistons, Roy and Abby reappeared at the Guangzhou Tea House for supper.

Of course, strictly speaking, late-night snacks are explicitly forbidden for professional players like Roy, but Roy really has something to say, and if he doesn't exhale this depressed breath, I'm afraid he will be uncomfortable sleeping tonight.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Smith's terrible character, according to Roy, Smith is simply a big rascal, a demon king of the world.

"Roy, Smith's man? He's been in a fight, in jail (and later punished for community service), infighting with his teammates, talking back to his coach, and one of the top 10 villains in the NBA who has sprayed with fans. Even 'World Peace' (Artest) had to concede three points when he saw him. ”

"I know, of course I do, and I know that he's been in a car, on drugs, on X. I have played in the CBA and made remarks that I look down on Chinese players, but today, I have personally contacted him, and I know how much of a bastard this bastard is. ”

Roy spoke incoherently, and Abby laughed merrily.

"There are so many bastards in the NBA, didn't you almost get burned by the bad boys of the Pistons tonight?"

"No, no, no, the Pistons' kind of bad is just a matter of competition on the court, Smith is really bad, do you see his stinky face on the bench at night? If I were Phil, I'd trade him right away. ”

After Roy said this, he was still babbling, "I must talk to Phil when I have a chance." ”

"What about Smith?" Speaking of this, Abby smiled weirdly again.

"Abby, do you know any inside information?"

"No, I don't have any inside information, but someone knows."

"Who are you talking about? Could it be the 'Wo God'? ”

"That's right, it's the 'Wo God'."

"What's wrong? What did he say? ”

"Well, he said, the Knicks trade isn't over yet......"
