The contract was a little disappointing to Lehi, but it was finally secured for a year. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rent a cheap house, and then pay back the expenses of the two years at Syracuse University to Xia Weiliang's father.

This day is really tight, Lehi plans to let Bruce Baker find a way to give him more advertising, the identity of the Chinese is not good in some other parties, and there should still be some advantages in some areas.

Anyway, Baker is the only one of the dozen or so players who has signed a contract now, and a few of the others are estimated to go to the lower leagues, and the rest are basically unsettled, if he doesn't help Lehi to work hard, he himself will die of poverty.

There will always be times when the Knicks regret it like this, and when he hits, they will definitely make them bleed more, but the Knicks are also used to being wronged, and Lehi complains before falling asleep, cheering himself up in this way.

You must work hard to fight and use your strength to increase your worth.

After the summer league, Lehi trained hard while keeping an eye on the Athens Olympics with Xia Weiliang.

Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan's American Dream Six lost their first game to Puerto Rico, then to Lithuania to finish fourth in their group and lose to Argentina in the semi-finals to finish bronze.

And even if the Chinese team has Yao Ming's strong point, it only finished eighth in the end.

At the beginning of October, the Knicks' training camp officially began, and in order to prepare for the preseason, several more players were signed, but they were all non-guaranteed contracts, including Chinese player Battle, 700,000 a year.

Now Yao Ming, a Chinese player playing in the NBA, has become one of the cores in the Rockets, Wang Zhizhi plays soy sauce in the Heat, Battle has been in the Raptors and Magic Rovers for a year after winning a championship ring with the Spurs, and now he is looking for a job, and Liu Wei has just signed a trial contract with the Kings, in fact, there are only three people who can add Li Hai to the court in the 04-05 season.

On the day of the team's assembly, Lehi went very early, he saw Battle, who used to greet Battle quite enthusiastically, but was generally more reticent.

The Knicks actually need a backup center, whether they can seize the opportunity or not can only depend on the individual, Battle has also been in the NBA for a few years, and he should know the rules here better than Lehi.

After about the same time, all but the injured players were all there.

In recent years, the Knicks' players have changed almost every year, the "mid-range king" Alan Houston has announced his retirement, and Shanton Anderson has been cut by the team, and the role players have been replaced.

The team's current boss, Stephen Marbury, the self-proclaimed No. 1 point guard, had a rough summer at the Olympics, but has now adjusted.

Lehi wasn't a very outgoing person, but he understood that the relationship with his teammates was important in the team, and polite communication was necessary, even if it wasn't to the level of a close friend.

He greeted the players of the team in turn, some responded politely, some ignored it, but Marbury said with interest: "Rookie, I have watched your game, and I will follow me in the team, I will cover you." ”

Marbury is a native of New York, and although Syracuse University defeated his alma mater to win the championship, he has a good impression of Lehi.

After the players arrived, the team's head coach Lenny Wilkens also appeared in the arena.

The old man is 67 years old, and he seems to be a very stable type.

He methodically allowed the players to start their first training session before the season, and communicated with Coach Sukeri from time to time.

The NBA's preseason began quickly, with the Knicks announcing their starting lineup, No. 1 Stephen Marbury, No. 2 Jamal Crawford, No. 3 Tim Thomas, No. 4 Kurt Thomas, and No. 5 Nazr Muhammad.

With the exception of Kurt Thomas, who is the Knicks' old man, the other four have not been to the Knicks for a year, Crawford was newly signed in the summer, and Marbury, Tim Thomas and Muhammad were all traded in the middle of last season.

There is no doubt that the Knicks' current roster is not stable, and Lehi will definitely have a chance if he works hard.

The first opponent of the preseason, the New York Knicks host the Utah Jazz.

Lehi stepped into Madison Square Garden in the No. 9 jersey, excited, nervous, and a little difficult to express his current mood in any words, and he finally stepped on the battlefield of the NBA.

The Jazz changed their interior lineup this summer, signing center Memet Oku and power forward Carlos Boozer, Olympic big-bought-stars Carlos Arroyo and Raga Bell at guard, and Andrei Kirilyenko at small forward.

After the warm-up, Lehi and Battle stayed on the team's bench together, and unlike the latter, Lehi was obviously much more excited.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks were not in great shape, and the new Knicks backcourt duo of Marbury and Crawford seemed to be a little uncomfortable with each other, resulting in their shooting not being very accurate.

Marbury was a bit sticky with the ball, while Crawford didn't pass the ball much, and the ball was in the hands of these two men, and Lehi looked a little awkward from the bench.

Preseason is a time to test the roster, and coach Lenny Wilkens is pinching the clock to change players.

The first bench players to come on the bench were without Lehi and Battle, and the team trailed by seven points at the end of the first quarter.

In the second half of the second quarter, most of the bench players stepped forward to show their faces, but Lehi and Battle were still sitting on the bench, and the team trailed by nine points at 38:47 at halftime.

At half-time, Coach Wilkens meticulously analysed the situation in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, he was still the main team, and it was clear that even in the preseason, the coach did not want to lose.

However, halfway through the third quarter, the two teams began to make a lot of substitutions again.

This time Lehi was called by the coach, and he walked out of the bench with a determined gaze.

Perhaps the reason for the excitement, in the face of Gordon Girisek's breakaway, his block was whistled for a foul.

In the second round of defense, Matt Halprin drew another foul on him.

However, in the offense, he finally got an open shot, but he didn't make it.

Damn, damn it, Lehi cursed twice in his heart, what the hell is going on, if he doesn't seize the limited opportunities in the preseason, he will definitely become a water cooler guardian.

He has been playing for more than three minutes, the Jazz team is changing again, and the Knicks should be changing soon, he is estimated to go down, is it going to go down with 0 points and two fouls, Lehi is very unwilling.

Crawford, who was still on the court, made a fancy three-point shot after a fancy dribble, and the basketball smashed high on the basket, and Lehi pounced like a wolf that saw its prey, and made a powerful dunk.
