What's next for the Knicks?

Could it be that Phil. Smith's Hazards?

Before turning on the phone, Roy couldn't help but praise the "Zen Master" for his wisdom and martial arts, but when he really saw the revelations of "Woshen", he almost didn't faint.

The revelation of "Woshen" is that the New York Knicks trade is not over yet, and Phil Jackson should trade Jaylen Brown, who has just arrived with the team, in exchange for a draft pick next year.

Why Jaylen Brown? Although Roy is very sure that he doesn't have much affection for this black guy who is five big and three thick, he has a lot of weirdness with yin and yang. Compared to Smith, Jaylen Brown is simply an angel.

No, I'll have to talk to President Phil, he must have made a mistake......

Before Roy and Phil Jackson meet, let's talk about the New York Knicks' home game against the Detroit Pistons on the day the deal was made.

This is the second time the Knicks have met the Pistons this season, and the Knicks returned home 97-102 on the road in the first round of the game, and Roy showed his "cancer" potential in that game, scoring 50 points alone, accounting for more than half of the team's scores, but he still couldn't change the fate of the team's defeat.

Returning to the Knicks' home court this time, Roy will definitely seize the opportunity for revenge and teach this group of Pistons kids a good lesson.

The game was played at 19:30 that night, and Smith, Jae Crowder and Jaylen Brown were activated to the roster so that the Knicks would have to take on the Pistons today with a broken bench lineup.

That's right, Reggie Jackson, the big man on the Pistons' side, still hasn't returned, and like the first round, the lineup on both sides is 50 steps and 100 steps, almost broken.

The course of the game was a good test of the disorganization of the two teams.

If the New York Knicks' previous six-game winning streak owes a large part of the credit to Roy's supernatural play, he is clearly out of luck today.

In response to the famous old saying "love is proud, X is frustrated", Roy's hand in this game is still average, and in the two games after confirming the relationship with Abby, Roy's hand feels cold.

Crisp passing, graceful shots, beautiful arcs, embarrassing iron.

Throughout the game, Roy repeated this series of actions. He can easily find the gap and shoot easily, but he is trapped by his own hand, and his shooting rate is miserable, not to mention the "hot hand" state.

Roy could only rely on free throws to slowly increase his score.

As was the case in the first round, the bout was filled with flying elbows and knees, violent body collisions, and whistles from the referees.

The Pistons still take care of Roy well, but Roy is no longer the "cancer" who can only score in the first round.

Since he has a bad hand, Roy tries to grab rebounds, try to pass assists, and try to contribute defensively.

Under the hard work of the Knicks' three military forces and the continuous cheers of the audience, the New York Knicks finally won the Detroit Pistons 105-102 at home, winning the longest seven-game winning streak in recent years.

Porzingis was the brightest star of the night, playing 40 minutes and scoring 35 points on 13-of-22 shooting.

Roy's scoring, although not very impressive, only scored 11 points, but he had 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

Smith and Jaylen Brown watched the Knicks' victory from the bench in suits throughout the game. Interestingly, Smith was black-faced and did not communicate with any of his teammates, while Jaylen Brown tried to integrate with the whole team, and he even high-fived his old enemy Roy, which showed that he really wanted to fit into the young Knicks team, which made Roy a little reluctant to him.

Roy and Phil Jackson met the day after the game against the Pistons.

Prior to Roy's arrival, Phil Jackson had just called the general managers of several teams and asked them about the possibility of trading Jaylen Brown. However, the No. 16 rookie, who averaged less than 15 minutes per game and scored less than six points, did not attract much interest from the general manager.

Of course, the "Zen Master" didn't expect Roy to come to him again so soon, and he couldn't guess that Roy would have something to ask for advice or ask for help from him.

Roy chose to get straight to the point.

"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you, I'm here today to verify one thing, is the team planning to trade Jaylen Brown?"

Well? Roy's direct question was the "Zen master", according to his usual management philosophy, except for Jordan and Kobe, who are the absolute core players of the team, no one else has the right to intervene in the team's management matters.

Although he just promised to build the team with Roy a few days ago, Roy is too anxious, so he wants to intervene in the team's affairs so soon?

"Roy, it's hard for me to give an answer to your question, you know, it's the job of the team management and you're just an employee of the team."

"I see, boss, I'm not here today for Jaylen Brown, Mr. Smith."

What happened to Smith?" Hearing this familiar name, "Zen Master" became a little interested.

"Boss, Smith, huh? I was worried that he would break the harmony of the team. ”

"Hahaha." Phil Jackson laughed, "(Smith) will spoil the atmosphere of the team? Does this count as a small report? ”

"Boss, I'm just expressing my true feelings as a regular member of the team, and you know, Smith doesn't have a good temper."

"That's right, it's no secret that Smith has a bad temper, so do you have any suggestions?" Phil Jackson leaned forward as he spoke, indicating that he was more than happy to listen to Roy's advice.

"I ...... Nothing to suggest. Roy hesitated, he really didn't have any advice to offer Phil Jackson.

"Well, good, Roy, come here." Phil Jackson beckoned to Roy, and the two of them went to the president's desk of the "Zen Master" together.

"Roy, tell me, what is this?" As he spoke, Phil Jackson picked up a mug.

"It's a cup." Phil Jackson's strange behavior left Roy a little confused, but he still told the truth.

"Well, obviously, this is a cup, so if you look closely, what kind of cup is it?" Phil Jackson finished speaking, and brought the cup closer to Roy.

What kind of cup? Isn't it just an old cup with a notched handle?

Roy told the truth again, and then the "Zen master" laughed.

"Roy, you're right, it's a worn-out cup, I'm sure both KP (Porzingis) and Derrick (Rose) can see it, and even Tony, who is in charge of cleaning every day, can see that it's a worn-out cup."

So? Could it be that "Zen Master" are you asking me to give you a new cup?

Roy was confused, and his eyes flickered.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Phil Jackson put the cup away and continued, "Well, good, I just gave you an analogy. Smith, do you think anyone wouldn't see that this is a worn-out cup? Smith knew in two days that he had a bad temper and would have a negative impact on the team, and I know that, so do you think the general managers of the other 29 teams in the NBA wouldn't know? ”

I see, the "Zen Master" woke up Roy with a Zen word, and the "Zen Master" continued.

Smith, very urgently. But on the flip side, unless there's a big guy like LeBron James in the team, a 'thorn' like Smith, not to mention that he's 31 years old and has a scary salary ($57 million over four years). I can give a clear answer, even if I put a little more resources on it, no more than two teams will take in this problem. We can only hope that Hornacek will make him change his mistakes and put all his energy on the pitch. Or ......"

Phil Jackson hesitated, but still didn't spit out the words "cut him".

But Roy over there already understood, and after Phil Jackson explained, Roy completely understood that Smith's only value in the Anthony deal was to match Anthony's high salary. And on a competitive level, he may still be a negative point selection, and it's no wonder that ESPN will give the Knicks a C+ trade rating, which is really unlucky.

But why trade Jaylen Brown?

When Roy mentioned Jaylen Brown again, Phil Jackson frowned.

"How much potential and value do you think Jaylen Brown can have?"

"Boss, according to my personal opinion, Jaylen Brown is at least a top-five rookie this year, and his drop was just an accident."

"Your opinion?" Hearing this, Phil Jackson wanted to laugh again, how much insight can Roy, who is also a rookie, have?

But Roy's next sentence immediately surprised him even more.

"I can guarantee that Jaylen Brown will be an indispensable player in a year, and even now, he will definitely be as good as the rest of the team's bench players, and I recommend you keep him."

That's right, leave Jaylen Brown, boss, and I can't tell you I have a scouting tool, but you might as well listen to me.

Well, Phil Jackson nodded, no one wants it anyway, so let's stay......
