Chapter 318: The Reality of Professional Players and Professional Teams
Jay, Bow Peak, Hill, Payton and Bosh are the players who played in the second half, in the playoffs, Jay's playing time is also increasing, Blake is right to want to leave in the middle of the season, Bow Peak's ability is already outstanding enough to not need a good bench player, but when the bench players are all players like Jay, it is a disaster for any guard third bench.
The most obvious is that Ariza who came to the Knicks in '04 and Livingston's playing time, Ariza is still in good health, and during the regular season, a lot of physical energy is spent on sparring, training, and garbage time appearances.
Livingston suffered a very serious injury before he arrived, and he was only recovered at the end of the season, but he was back to health, even if he was a high rookie in '04, and he didn't get much of a chance to play in the Knicks, and he spent most of his time in the training room this season, healthy and unhealthy.
Both of them signed contracts with guaranteed first-round picks and won't worry about going to eat there next season, but the Knicks' internal competition is also an inevitable topic, and all the two need to do now is strengthen themselves. Rookies like Korver, who left almost at the end of the season, have no hands-on coaching with the Knicks, and will only push him to transform into a shooter.
Since Korver and Pachulia did not accept a new contract from the Knicks next season and want to test the free market in the summer, the Knicks' relatively limited resources will be concentrated, and the rookies have received much more training and one-man support coaching than the two.
Since the position and status of the two in the Knicks are very certain, the Knicks are simply strengthening one aspect, and in every spare time, in addition to the necessary tactical training, the Knicks only find an internship sparring partner, or an internship assistant coach to help record the data......
In Korver's later recollection of this brilliant, difficult and somewhat helpless years in the Knicks, Korver even needed to rent a stadium, lease assistant coaches, and sparring partners in the late season to complete the purpose of self-improvement, otherwise without the system and players designed for him by the Knicks, Korver didn't know what he would become.
Another example is Battier, who accepted a new contract, and the playing time and time to integrate the team's tactics began to increase rapidly, which is obviously a sign that the team attaches great importance to it, and the appearance of Korver and others in garbage time is relatively limited, and Battier's playing time is immediately extended if he can.
I can't help but say that the Knicks' approach is very powerful, and it seems a little unkind, but this is the case with professional teams, and the Knicks are still clear, and if the Knicks do something more extreme, it is not impossible to do it.
The two players who tested the free market are also a supplement to the Knicks' tactics, and their inclusion in the Knicks' playoff squad is already a recognition of it.
In addition to these two, Payton is now an assistant coach, Hill, Allen, these three need the best physical trainers, to maintain their own condition for the purpose of training, the focus of other players is also different, Yao Ming, Gong Feng, Jay, Bosh belong to the first level of training and key caretakers, the other Battier, Livingston, Ariza, Dio are the second level of training sequence.
Battier trains in the second sequence, the main reason is Battier's determination of his future, the determination of his positioning, in this case, how to ensure that his single point of reinforcement is what the Knicks need to do for him.
As for the other six players in the first level sequence, it is because these six people contribute 90 percent of the team's scores, 90 percent of the rebounds, plus more than 80 percent of the data in other events.
Of course, having said all this, it is not to reflect only the unique power of the Knicks, and the reality that each of them faces in a professional team, and the real point that I want to explain is actually hidden in these instructions.
Gong Feng's contract also expired in the summer of '05, but when Battier has already received a new contract, why hasn't Gong Feng signed a new contract with the Knicks? What about Aaron? Why didn't Jay get into trouble with Knicks management or the players? Just because he has two years left on his contract? The camaraderie of teammates?
In the first half of the year, Jay played the standard data of 20+5+5 stars, and it can even be said that it is the data of future superstars, but after Gong Feng came back, Jay gave everything he had so easily to Gong Feng?
What kind of international jokes?
Jay didn't make trouble, there was no real conflict with the team, the first is that he has a stable playing time in every game, a stable number of shots, a stable tactical player for him, and a place he deserves in the Knicks, and more importantly, Jay gets a better opportunity than Gong Feng to show his true self.
It is impossible for a team to have tens of millions of players on the bench, that is, after the Mavericks let Jamison, who has an annual salary of tens of millions, be a substitute for half a year, they immediately replaced him.
It doesn't matter if the team owner is willing to invest money for the team, or whether the owner has money or not, this is the rule, especially when the other three or more main players in your main squad are already paid tens of millions of contracts.
The Knicks must also abide by this rule, and among players in the same position, they can only choose one player with an annual salary of tens of millions. For the Knicks, to be more specific, it's Bow Peak, Ray Allen, Jay, and you can only keep two of them at the end.
And with the Knicks now in suspense, Jay has every reason and motivation to work hard for this fatally alluring 'carrot' and do something to prove his ability and status.
Being in the first sequence of the Knicks, who have the ability to challenge for the championship, having consistent playing time, their position on the team, having an irreplaceable role for other players, and the temptation to win the defending championship are all important reasons why Jay works so hard and the Knicks maintain harmony within them.
As for why Gong Feng and Allen are not in a hurry to negotiate with the Knicks, it is normal for Allen not to be in a hurry, he has proven that he is a first-line star in the league, and he no longer needs to prove his strength, and in the Knicks, Allen has not been excluded in the slightest, and his status has been the most effectively guaranteed.
Besides, whoever speaks first in the negotiation will be in a passive position in the following negotiations, and Aaron's lack of urgency must also include this.
As for Bow Peak? Let's not talk about him and Mir? The friendship of Dolan, the real controller of the Knicks, is not to talk about friendship, and Gong Feng definitely has no shortage of places to go, compared to Jay who needs the ball to score and needs a team to provide him with a lot of specific conditions, Gong Feng is the first person preferred by any team that wants to strengthen.
Besides, did the Knicks really not talk to Gong Feng? How many times has Mir been with Gong Feng in private terms and has not said anything about it? The two disagree on some things, but it's definitely not a matter of power such as money.
Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Players eat young food, even if Gong Feng has some other careers to support him, but decent salary and status are also necessary for Gong Feng, which is a must for a superstar.
Gong Feng has a good friendship with Korver, who is a little shy and also trains very hard, and Blake, who left, is not very bad in the later period, but he is relatively indifferent to some things, and he does not ask about money-related things. Friendship is friendship, advice is advice, but if you want to think about who will pay what to whom, it is a dream, if there are also interests mixed in it, everything will change its taste.
For example, in the Eastern Conference Finals this time, if Gong Feng defeats Kwame Brown again, how much friendship between the two will be left?
When did LeBron be friends with Garnett and Pierce? LeBron is friends with Wade and others, they can fight together, and they can maintain a good relationship after not fighting, and why?
Status, interests...... These are the necessary conditions for interacting with each other, and even the dream team did not let Isaiah? Thomas participated, what more could I say about these?
Without this awareness, you don't want to gain any 'historical status' in the Alliance, and without this kind of dedication, you will gain nothing.
The value of a championship team, an FMVP superstar player, how can it be fully summed up by tens of millions? Can a regular-season superstar really compare to a championship superstar?
Of course, these comparisons are all in the same ability and in the same position in the regular season, but having such a qualification is a powerful potential asset for the next three or four years, or even longer.
When friendship encounters interests that both parties can't refuse, when their future is linked to the actual benefits, when they see the gap between each other, when there is a fierce quarrel in the game, there is a fierce collision, when the game is over, you see yourself covered with scars, when you see the other party doing their best, and even when they try everything to defeat you.
How much of the so-called friendship and so-called comradeship-in-arms between each other can remain?
Especially when some of them are still instigating, when the gossip reporters take the trouble to tell you, how he is, what he gets, even if you know that he will not be like this before, but when he is not by your side, when there is a lack of communication, what will happen?
Especially what happens when the Knicks use certain means, some seemingly extremely dishonorable means, to win a victory that should belong to the Wizards, and of course it is even more special, when the person who uses this method is what you used to think was the best brother......
