When Li Wei came to the conference room, he saw that all the assistant coaches of the team were looking at him with a smile.

"What's the situation?" There was something strange about him.

Byron Scott patted Li Wei on the shoulder and pretended to be deep: "David, the situation is very serious, the team has no suitable backup point guard!" ”

Li Weidao: "Didn't I let Mike investigate?" Mike, how is the situation, tell me about the results of your investigation. ”

Jeff Nick said: "Mike is bullish on Earl Boykins, David, what do you think of this player? ”

Li Weidao: "It's very good, it's just a little shorter, and if it is applied properly, it is enough to make up for the shortcomings of our team." ”

Tom Heberdu frowned, "Do you really think he can do it?" He's just too short to fit in with the league! ”

Li Weidao: "It's okay, if his offensive ability is good enough, we can still learn from each other's strengths, isn't Boggs shorter?" ”

"Hahaha!" Quite a few teaching assistants chuckled.

Li Wei said in surprise: "What's the matter?" What are you laughing at? ”

Scott Brooks said: "David, do you really think Boykins can be the team's backup point guard? ”

Li Wei said: "It's no problem at all." Of course, I gave Mike the power of the investigation, and he was the one who determined the final candidate. Mike, what exactly is your opinion? ”

Herb Williams laughed: "David, Mike and we agree that there is one person who is better than Earl Boykins and is more familiar with our system, if you sign Earl Boykins, it is better to directly let him be Nash's replacement, anyway, he is very cheap and a base salary player." ”

Li Weidao: "There is a better one than Boykins, then it is naturally better, don't sell it, who is it?" ”

Byron Scott laughed and said, "David, you are riding a donkey to find a donkey, and of course you are the one who is better than Boykins!" ”

"Me?" Li Wei pointed to his nose.

Then all the Knicks assistant coaches laughed and nodded in unison!

Li Wei scratched his head and said, "Cangtian, you actually hit me with your idea. I'd like to be a substitute for Nash, but I'm too short now, so I'd better wait for me to grow taller! ”

Byron Scott said: "No matter how I look at it, you are a cut above Boykins, and you have an advantage in height. ”

"Hahaha!" A lot of teaching assistants laughed.

Li Wei was a little speechless.

He does want to get taller and challenge the NBA, but it's a bit early.

But then again, the 1.65m Boykins is really not taller than him, and if everyone thinks he's better than Boykins, then you can really try!

Byron Davis said: "Let's go heads-up, let's see who is stronger David or Boykins!" ”

"That's a good idea!" The other teaching assistants chimed in.

Earl Boikins was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and in high school, he averaged 24.6 points per game and led the varsity team to a 23-2 record, and later the Cleveland Honest People named him the best high school basketball player in the Cleveland area in the 90s.

However, only two colleges were willing to give the best high school student in the Cleveland area basketball scholarship, with the University of Iowa retracting its commitment halfway through, all because Boykins was too short!

He is only 1.65 meters!

Boykins had no choice but to go to Eastern Michigan University, the only university willing to give him a scholarship. At Eastern Michigan University, he improved year by year, and in his senior year he averaged 26 points and 5.5 assists per game!

However, he was a star-studded star in the NCAA league and was not selected in last year's draft because he was too short!

Boykins never doubted that he had the strength to play in the NBA, but everyone didn't believe him!

After losing the draft, as a free agent, he signed a short contract with the New Jersey Nets and played five games, but unfortunately failed to renew his contract.

Then, he returned to his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and got two consecutive 10-day contracts before being cut and staying with the team until the end of the season.

But this year, the Cavaliers drafted the talented point guard Andre Miller in the draft, and they also have a short point guard with excellent organizational skills, Bleine Knight, plus Bob Soula and others can also play point guard, so Boykins lost his job.

Playing summer league for the Knicks, Boykins was originally very ambitious, and he knew that the team's main point guard was leaving.

However, in the summer league, he found that there were not many point guards on the team, and everyone seemed to be good. Kevin Ollie is tall and mighty, Mike James is a great scorer, and Anthony Carter is a great organizer......

"Can I get a contract?"

Although he feels good about himself, Boykins has no bottom in his heart, after all, his height is a hard injury.

After receiving a call from Dennis Johnson, Boykins rushed to the Knicks training gym as soon as possible, and then he saw the summer league coach Mike D'Antoni greet him.

"Earl, I personally think you're a very good player, but the management wants you to put it to the test."

Earl Boykins' eyes widened, "What test?" ”

D'Antoni pointed behind him: "If you can beat this guy, we're going to sign you a base salary contract!" ”

Boykins looked along D'Antoni's finger and saw a diminutive young man approaching.

"It's ......"

Boykins was a little excited, isn't this the Knicks head coach Li Wei who shot a fatal shot in the finals and led the team to win the championship?

The current Li Wei is the idol of all men in the 1.6 meter height segment!

He raised his hands after the kill, and the picture of the giant Duncan kneeling in front of him made countless people become Knicks fans!

Wait a minute!

Boykins realized another question: "Coach D'Antoni, you say I am better than Coach Lee?" How to win? ”

Byron Scott on the side smiled: "Let's take a personal test first!" ”

The physical test is divided into static body test and dynamic body test, and the Knicks are not as comprehensive as they are, that is, to measure their height and weight.

In terms of height, Li Wei is slightly taller, and he can already reach 5'6 inches, or 1.68 meters, after wearing shoes, while Boykins is only 5'5 inches (1.65 meters). In terms of weight, Boykins is slightly heavier, 60 kilograms, while Li Wei is only 58 kilograms.

Dynamic physical testing, Boykins is better than touching high, he can easily grab the basket, and personally, if he holds a volleyball, he can also dunk.

Li Wei doesn't have such a good bounce, and he can only touch the basket with his fingertips at present, and he can't catch it.

The bottom line switchback run, Li Wei beat Boykins, 3/4 sprints, Li Wei is stronger, but Boykins is only a little slower than him.

"Coach Li, I really didn't expect your body to be so good!" Boykins said in surprise.

He is an athlete at his peak, and Li Wei is a coach, the physical test data of the two is actually about the same, and even Li Wei's speed is faster, which is incredible!

Li Wei smiled lightly.

His body can be so good, first of all, thanks to the adjustment of the regulator, and secondly, the scientific training of the training hall. Compared with athletes, he may not be too good, but compared to ordinary people, it is really strong.

Dennis Johnson said, "Come on, let's take another obstacle dribble." ”
