"Dad, is that guy who walked out of the arena with you just now Roy?" On the drive home, Abby suddenly asks her daddy, Hornacek, about Roy.

Speaking of Hornacek's daughter Abby, she is 22 years old this year, just graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in journalism, inheriting her mother's beauty and her father's sports cells.

With blonde hair, electrified eyes, long legs, thin waist and plump buttocks, she is known as "Real Barbie" on the Internet, and ranked third in the Miss Arizona selection.

Such a beauty, not to mention that Roy will faint when he knows that she is Hornacek's daughter, any normal person who sees this father and daughter cannot connect the relationship between the two of them to father and daughter, if it is in China, there must be people who will misunderstand that "Hornacek has a woman outside".

After graduating from college, Abby interviewed for 120 Sports, a digital online media owned by Jerry Reinsdorf (owner of the Chicago Bulls), as a full-time sports reporter in mid-August, and she will be reporting to Chicago in September, so these few days are the last days of her time at home with Lao Huo.

"That's right, he's Roy, the super newcomer Roy who has gone viral in newspapers, on TV, and on the Internet lately. Abby, you seem to care about him, and lately your tweets have been full of news and comments about Roy. ”

Hearing his daughter ask about himself, Hornacek chatted with her about Roy.

"Hahaha, Dad, you have a really good memory, who has made him so popular recently, basketball fans are basically discussing him, speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a real person. Congratulations, Dad, you've gained a future superstar when you first joined the Knicks. ”

Hearing his daughter congratulating him, and thinking of the tacit understanding that Mills and himself had reached, Hornacek couldn't help but feel a little weak.

"Abby, do you think Roy can definitely become a superstar? What if I put him on the bench for the first few games of the season? Do you think I'm an amateur? ”

"Dad, you are the coach of the team, and I will support you in whatever decision you make. However, if you really put Roy on the bench, those media reporters are going to get you in trouble, you don't know how popular Roy is now, those school stars in our school were gritting their teeth to find him to go head-to-head, but now there is no sound, and people who have watched the video of his game will say, 'Oh, he's definitely going to be the next superstar'. ”

Abby's eyebrows fluttered, and Hornacek, who was sitting on the side, saw it clearly.

"Hey, Abby, you don't like Roy, the look in your eyes after you talked about Roy just now." Hornacek is a very observant manager, and in just a few moments, he noticed his daughter's abnormality.

"What do you say, Dad, I really like this big boy, he is not pretentious, and his ball skills are much better than those pretending to be X men in college. But I don't want to have a relationship with the players on your team, or you're going to suffer, hahahahaha. ”

Abby hides her shyness with a few dry laughs, and has been interested in basketball since she was a child, influenced by her father Hornacek, and she is a member of the USC basketball and volleyball teams. If you want to say that the type of boy she likes is a basketball superman who can kill all sides on the court, it's a pity that none of the NCAA stars in her college are eye-catching, and Roy, a superstar from the East, captured her heart as soon as he appeared, and coincidentally, he now happens to play for his father's team again.

It seems that I have to apply to the owner to report on the Knicks with the owner this time, yes, I am the daughter of the head coach of the Knicks, and it is only fitting for me to report on the Knicks......

……

Back to Roy.

After Roy returned to Los Angeles, he spoke again on the phone with Phil Jackson, and after confirming that the team would not trade him, he and Elan planned to move their residence to New York.

And after Roy received his first-year salary of $4.74 million, he found that he suddenly had money, and he was a big step closer to the life of his dreams.

After having money, the first thing Roy did was to buy a large flat-floor apartment of more than 200 square meters near the Madison Square Garden Arena, and he planned to bring Lao Luo to live in the United States.

Then, he bought himself a Range Rover as a scooter, of course, he didn't have a driver's license for the time being, so Su Dong could only continue to pick him up.

Everything is arranged, it's September, and after another month of practice with DeMar DeRozan, the New York Knicks' player reporting day is here.

At 9 a.m. on Sept. 30, Roy arrived at the New York Knicks' training hall on time.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the last summer league game, there were significantly fewer people in attendance today, except for Derrick Rose, head coach Jeff Hornacek, assistant coach Kurt Rambis, and a few free agents who remained after fierce competition, the other players were basically meeting for the first time.

Roy met "Playboy" Noah, met Porzingis, known as "Boshen", and met Brandon Jennings, who was "at the peak of his debut", but he didn't see anyone, and the team's boss Cameron Anthony was not here.

Speaking of which, this year's New York Knicks have made a big change, last year's team members only left Anthony, Porzingis, O'Quinn, Vujacic, Randle five, last season's main force is only "melon" and "Boshen" two, Phil Jackson almost made a makeover to the lineup.

Due to the large number of newcomers, there are also many unknown players left behind in the trial, and everyone on the field does not know each other, except for a few words of greeting, there is nothing to interact with.

The closest to Roy here was Rose, and while everyone was still greeting each other, Rose pointed Roy in.

"Roy, remember to respect Anthony when he comes, he is now the boss of the Knicks, if you want to gain a foothold in the team, you better have a good relationship with Anthony, in addition, those old players may ask you to buy water and fruit, and you can just do it when the time comes, anyway, it's just one or two."

After listening to Rose's shared experience, Roy frowned.

"Why should I buy them water and fruit? Do I have to do this? ”

"No, of course the team doesn't stipulate that you have to do this, but it's an unspoken rule of the NBA, and if you don't, it means you don't respect the veteran players, and it means they might fix you."

Roy fell silent, he didn't expect to play in the NBA and such a thing, he just wanted to play well, he didn't think about going to shoot anyone's sycophants and worship whose docks.

"So, you've been a newcomer before?" Roy spun around and aimed at Rose.

"Yes, in my rookie season, I bought drinks for Ben Gordon and Rohr Deng, but after two years I became the boss of the team, and the rookies who came later would buy me water and give me drinks, and that's a legacy." Rose was still seducing Roy, and he didn't want to wait for Roy to make any of the most out of the ordinary.

In the Black-dominated NBA, there are unspoken rules that are the foundation of locker room harmony.

Roy seemed to understand and returned to an "OK", in fact, he couldn't tell whether he understood or not.

As soon as 9:30 arrived, Hornacek made a long whistle and assembled.

The players felt like they were standing in a row, and Hornacek was also standing in a row with assistant coach Kurt Rambis, tactical coach Roger Haynz, and assistant trainer Anthony Gnarga facing the players.

The biggest job on reporting day is to conduct a medical examination of all the players to see if they have overindulged in this summer.

Under the guidance of Anthony Gnaga, the players underwent medical examinations one by one, and it can be seen that many players in this team have gained a lot of weight than at the end of the season, and some players even have a terrifying high body fat rate.

Kurt Rambis frowned as he recorded the stats of each player, and there was no doubt that he was not satisfied with the professionalism of the group.

Except for the five players who have been tryouts with the team, the physical examination data of the other players have come out, and the results are very bad, except for rookies Roy and Hernangomez, the strict self-discipline "Boshen" and Vujacic, and Rose, who got a guaranteed contract by active tryouts, the physical examination results of the other players are all unqualified.

Hornacek's face turned green when he saw this report, he was the new head coach, and naturally wanted to set the rules, and he still remembered the days when he worked hard under Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Utah Jazz.

These lazy guys must be taught what it means to be a professional NBA player.

Hornacek was about to reprimand when the door to the arena opened.

A tall, sleepy-eyed, slightly chubby man came in, and Anthony came!
