"Yao, what have you done this summer?" Looking at the physical examination report in his hand, Mir looked at Yao Ming angrily, and asked very angrily.

Yao Ming felt very guilty in the face of Dolan's accusations, although there were many objective reasons for this, and there were many reasons why Yao Ming had no way to refuse, but the result was this, the FMVP in the rookie season, the fat content increased, and the weight increased a lot compared to the end of the finals, but there was no improvement in other aspects...... In a nutshell, Yao Ming had a 'terrible' time this summer.

This is the time of private questioning between the two, Yao Ming's physical condition is very bad, which is nothing, but some of the data in the report is the point of Mir's anger.

"Yao Ming's ankles, toes, and tibia are at high risk and will be injured to varying degrees during the game, so the advice at the beginning of the season is to reduce the increase in weight from Yao Ming's upper limbs and increase the muscle groups in the lower limbs."

"Yao Ming spent almost the entire summer in commercial competitions and endorsements, did not strengthen his advantages in the summer, and did not retain the continuity of his good form in the finals, so Yao Ming is easy to target."

Looking at the report in his hand and the guilty smile on Yao Ming's face, Mir could only shake his head and said: "You can't be idle at this moment, your physical fitness, technique, and mental state must be adjusted at the beginning, maybe you still have the playing time and a new round of training from last season!" ”

Yao Ming let out a long breath when he heard this.

"However, with your current state, you are no longer suitable to be the main player of the team, the Knicks will get a lot of 'special care' from other teams this year, I need you to adjust your condition well in the new season, which means that your playing time may be in the team's rotation lineup!"

When Yao Ming heard this, he took a deep breath, then looked at Mir, quietly waiting for an explanation.

"You're an important part of the Knicks! Without you, the Knicks can't go far in the playoffs, but you were strong in the Finals last season, do you think the Knicks didn't contribute here? Yao Ming, I won't be stingy next summer and give you a six-year salary cap, but your current state really reassures me, I need you to leave from your own whirlpool first, and the Knicks will have some tactical changes this season, and Hill may also appear on the bench! ”

Hearing that Hill would appear on the bench, Yao Ming looked at Mir even more puzzled.

"The Knicks need to start the season at the beginning of the season to accumulate energy for the playoffs, the Knicks' goal this season is still the championship, but the Knicks no longer want to get absolutely good results, the improvement of bench players is an indispensable point for the Knicks, this is the reason why the Knicks have a good record in recent years, I believe you will think so, right?"

"The progress of Paul, Ariza, Livingston and even Bosh is the guarantee that the Knicks will win the championship in the new season, and I need my main players to sacrifice for that, and now you are the one I want to sacrifice if you are vulnerable!"

"This season, I want the championship! Yao Ming! I hope you can forgive me for this decision, your ability to perform in the regular season is very strong, but it is very limited, and I need you to calm down and think about your role in the Knicks! Think about how your FMVP came about! ”

"In addition, if you have no doubts and still like a team like the Knicks, we can reach a six-year salary cap agreement between us now, and the Knicks will definitely make you happy with the salary they offer......

"I'd love to negotiate a salary now, but if I'm on the bench and the time is very limited, the team ......will not even be able to make the playoffs."

"As long as the Knicks leave the top five in the East during the regular season, I'll risk getting you injured and increase your playing time, there's no doubt about it!"

"Then I don't have any problems! Mil, I trust your judgment! ”

"Thank you for your trust! You know, you're the first champion I've chosen! ”

……

Since this summer was a labor negotiation in the league, games such as the Summer League were delayed, but fortunately, the two sides of the negotiations quickly reached a new agreement, which did not delay the negotiation process to the official tournament.

Starting in the 05-06 season, any team can announce the dismissal of a player before the cut-off date in the middle of the season, and the player's salary will not be included in the team's salary for the season.

The emergence of such a clause has greatly liberated a series of problems that arose during the team's establishment, and it can be regarded as an indirect solution to the unnecessary behavior of some teams to pay luxury tax for their own teams.

Interestingly, however, no team began by cutting any of their star players on the team, including Finley of the Bobcats, and the appearance of such a clause was a relief to the Cavaliers management.

Anyone with a discerning eye can already see that Webber's body is not as good as before, and even some blue-collar workers can't catch up in many cases, and the Cavaliers finally have a new solution after LeBron's rookie contract ends in order to get Iverson in the summer.

……

All teams had a certain amount of reduced time during the year, and so did the Knicks, whose coaching team made the final decision on the team's main lineup and rotation lineup at the start of the new season after a rigorous review of a number of injured players.

"Bow Peak, Allen, Bosh, Dior and Paul, the five of you will be the starting lineup for the Knicks in the first game of the new season!" Looking at Paul's surprised face, and seeing the extremely blank looks of the other players, Mill said solemnly.

"We will play as the second 'Suns' team in the new season, and the five of you will play a long time, so I hope you live up to our expectations!"

"In the first home game of the new season, we're going to play against the Los Angeles Lakers, who had the most action of the summer! This is a very good chance that we will meet in the Finals, and I hope you get off to a good start in the new season and give us the best start to the new season! ”

"There won't be many tactics that the Lakers can come up with, the main thing is the play of the Lakers three, I want you to control the rhythm in our hands at the beginning, Bosh, your opponent in this game is Kwame, I want you to show your momentum and use all the means you can have now! You remember, your opponent today is Kwamei, Yao Ming's body has some problems, I won't let Yao Ming play against Kwamei, I hope you know this! ”

"Yes! Instructor! I'll show everybody what I did in the summer! Bosh said confidently.

"Excellent! Here is the new core of our team, Gong Feng, although you will be Kobe Bryant, but I want you to step up, in this game, you are the absolute core of our Knicks, I want you to use your way to beat the Lakers! ”

Gong Feng only nodded faintly at this.

……

After O'Neal's departure, the Los Angeles Lakers have really entered the era of Kobe, and it took almost a season for Collins to put this team of almost all the Lakers old people left except for Kobe Bryant into a relatively right track.

Fifteen million contract renewals for five years, and the exchange of some people for Kwame Brown is the only two large-scale contract renewals Collins has made in the past two years.

Before the start of the 05-06 season, it was announced that he would cut center Brian, who was traded from the Heat? Grant, signing Bynum at the No. 10 spot, that's how Collins was not responsible for many trades before the season.

Collins knew why he was invited to the Lakers in the first place, and he knew Jackson's connection to the Buss family, but Collins eventually came. There is no other reason, just to prove that something is still because of the salary that the Lakers gave him.

The changes Collins made with the Lakers were only to focus more on defense than in the past, and also put the task of developing new players first, and the other point was to bring out the full potential of Kobe Bryant, if Kobe Bryant only played more than 60 games in his second season, maybe the Lakers could have made the playoffs last season.
