With three consecutive wins in three games in three days, the Knicks' record has become 9-14, temporarily ranking 10th in the East, 9th is the 9-13 Wizards, and 8th is the 10-10 Cavaliers.

"We're fighting for a playoff spot every season!" Li Wei said helplessly.

Chuck Daley laughed, "Who makes management miserable when it's okay?" However, I think this batch of newcomers is good, and we will have peace of mind if we practice it, and I hope that the team's lineup can remain stable in the future. ”

Li Weidao: "The management actually hopes that our lineup can be stabilized. Didn't you see that we didn't get involved in Marbury's deal? ”

"That's fine." Chuck Daly nodded.

While Li Wei and Daley were chatting, the team's defensive assistant coach Byron Scott came over with a frown and said, "Oh, that's terrible, Buck's knee hurts again!" ”

"What, Buck is hurt?" Li Wei's eyes widened.

Buck Williams was injured while coaching Da Yao's interior defensive skills on the training court. Although the former Nets star is not tall, his defensive skills have always been praised by the world.

In the 89-90 season, the Nets traded him to the Trail Blazers, who had been a first-round team before he left, but as soon as Buck arrived, the team immediately reached the Finals!

He had just 13.6 points and 9.8 rebounds that year, but he received more votes in the MVP award than Clyde Drexler, the team's big glider, who averaged 23 points per game.

In '91, the Trail Blazers reached the Western Conference Finals, and in '92, they reached the Finals again, and Buck Williams also played a great role.

This is the kind of player who actually plays a lot more than the data, and can drive the atmosphere of the whole team on and off the field. He is also a relatively capable person, and is the former president of the players' union. Although he is old now, he is far superior to ordinary veterans in terms of prestige and experience, and his role in the Knicks locker room is only the captain of the team, and the other Williams - Herb Williams can be compared to it!

In fact, after Buck Williams injured his knee last season, he has not been able to get better, and he still has a faint pain at the beginning of the year. At that time, he wanted to retire, Li Wei persuaded him: "Stay for another year, I don't need you to play, just point out the newcomers off the field." ”

Buck Williams heeded Li Wei's advice, did not retire, and has not played much this season, but he is one of the backbone of the team off the court.

It's a pity that when I was instructing the newcomer now, I was injured again!

Li Wei rushed to the ward, the team doctor had just finished examining him, and the injury was not very serious, but it was best to recuperate for two or three months.

When Buck heard that he was going to recuperate for two or three months, he immediately frowned: "In two or three months, the season will be over." David, my old knee is really not good, it seems that I really have to retire this time. ”

"Alas!" Li Wei sighed.

Don't look at Buck who hasn't played a few games this season, but his role in the team is so important, and retiring now is a big loss for the Knicks.

However, everyone was injured, and Li Wei couldn't stop him anymore, so he could only say: "Buck, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and I welcome you to come to the Knicks as an assistant coach at any time when you are injured!" ”

Herb Williams said: "That's a good idea, Buck, I'm retiring next season, let's stay with the Knicks as assistant coaches, just be a companion!" ”

"Haha." Buck Williams smiled lightly, looked at the captain in front of him who joined the alliance in the same year as himself, and shook his head and said: "No, a few years ago, I invested in a construction company with a few old brothers, and I have agreed with them that I will work in construction after retiring." I've played basketball all my life, and I don't want to play anymore after I retire, so it's more interesting to be a contractor. ”

Li Wei persuaded a few more words, but Buck Williams was determined to be a contractor, so he could only give up.

As a result, a generation of celebrities retired due to injury, and the Knicks' team roster became 14 players.

In fact, in this era, the official list of the NBA is 12 people, and the remaining three spots are injury lists, which do not have to be filled. But most teams will keep their squad at 14 to 15 even if they don't have injuries, and who doesn't want to have more personnel on their squad?

Now that the team has become 14 people, Li Wei is idle when he looks at the vacant spot.

However, Brad Miller has been signed by the Hornets with a 1+1 base salary contract, and there is nothing worth signing among the other free agents.

"Buck Williams retires, Coach Lee rejoins the Knicks!" 》

This is not a big news, and the fans who see the news are remembering Buck Williams, but they are not paying attention to Li Wei's comeback.

Li Wei played in the league last season, and everyone is used to seeing this little guy play in the garbage time of the game. However, some fans found that Li Wei's registered height has changed!

Last season, Li Wei's height was 4 feet 11 inches (1.5 meters), just less than 5 feet (the British system is 12 inches, 12 inches equals one foot), and this season his height has risen sharply, and he has actually become 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 meters)!

He's an inch taller than Boggs!

This can no longer be called a dwarf, it can only be called a dwarf, slightly shorter than a normal person!

Soon after, Coach Li's height became big news!

Facing the media interview, Li Wei said lightly: "I told you last season that I am using the ancient witchcraft of the East to grow taller, and I will grow ten centimeters taller every season in the future!" ”

"Wow, it turns out that the seven-foot giant Coach Li can really grow to seven feet!" Quite a few fans began to shout.

It is indeed rare for adults to grow taller. Although Li Wei's explanation is bizarre, many people believe it, after all, the United States is a relatively diverse place, most people believe in religion, and they can also believe that there is mysterious witchcraft in the East.

Of course, many experts and professors are deeply skeptical of this, and they believe that even if Li Wei grows taller, it cannot be the effect of witchcraft.

But they suspected, and they could only suspect that Li Wei was now a person with status and status, and it was impossible for them to arrest Li Wei and study whether people were using witchcraft to grow taller, or using other methods.

These people privately discussed that Li Wei was so rich, he would definitely buy some height enhancement pills at a high price. These medicines may not work on normal people, but they do when used on dwarfs.

"Actually, I think Coach Li looks like a child, and it's not surprising that he has grown taller." There are also fans who say so.

But they were quickly retorted: "You see how he talks and acts, what is like a child?" What kid can save such a big family fortune? ”

Yes, Li Wei's words and deeds are not like a child at all, and he is a Wall Street predator, and there are countless capable people under him, and no child can do this.

The person who suspects that Li Wei is a child is afraid that he has not grown up yet.
