Chapter 034 List

Liang Xiao and Anne Hathaway attended the dinner, which ended hastily and returned to the apartment, such days were just some episodes of his basketball.

After the Seattle SuperSonics, Liang Xiao gradually found a place in Van Gundy's camp, and the Knicks' teammates are becoming more and more fortunate for this Chinese teammate, and this group of people is more and more fond of giving Liang Xiao more opportunities to prove himself.

The Knicks seized all these preseason opportunities to work the lineup, and received good results, especially as some of the newly introduced players grew very quickly, so that Van Gundy's concerns about the fitness and lack of manpower of his players have been alleviated to a certain extent.

After playing against the SuperSonics, the Knicks traveled all over the United States for preseason competitions, and even flew to Canada twice to play friendly games with local professional teams, which are not only for the promotion of the NBA but also a means of operation for the Knicks, which will allow more people to participate in the NBA and let the Knicks capture more fans. Besides, the Knicks are under the name of the American Cable TV Group, and the publicity is strengthened to promote the interests of the group's managers. This is in line with the old adage that no profit can not be made early, and Americans are no exception.

Liang Xiao gradually became familiar with the NBA's game atmosphere and game rhythm in the preseason, and in this high-level, high-intensity league, it is not only an opportunity to train people, but also an opportunity to eliminate people. There are a lot of elites from basketball leagues around the world who have come here, they used to be proud characters in their respective leagues, whether you are a former genius or a waste material, if you can adapt here, then you are the dragon among people, otherwise you are only a worm that has been eliminated. The most intensive competition, the highest-end competition, and at the same time the most brutal competition.

Liang Xiao found many deficiencies in the preseason, and compared with NBA veterans like Sprewell, he is simply scum. Compared to a rookie like Williams, there are also a lot of shortcomings.

The simplest and most obvious is the physical gap, which is the biggest problem exposed by Liang Xiao in the preseason. Liang Xiao's physical fitness at the beginning was D+, but the average NBA player is A- to A, which is the gap. If Liang Xiao plays six or seven minutes per quarter, then it is the maximum of Liang Xiao's current physical strength, if he plays a full quarter in a row, it will be difficult to recover and he will be tired.

Not to mention that Liang Xiao still has natural skills hidden in his body, and when he opens these skills, he didn't know that it would take so much physical strength to support him on the field for three minutes, and the rest and recovery time after the game will be greatly extended. Therefore, Liang Xiao targeted to strengthen his body, such a preseason, Liang Xiao can get about ten talent points per game, plus every night no matter how tired he is, he will also train some aspects of physical fitness in the talent training ground, all of which add up, you can get nearly fifteen talent points a day, and there are about 200 points in the preseason for a period of time plus no games.

These talent points Liang Xiao is all used in physical talent, and it can be enough to cap some aspects, but when Liang Xiao increases his physical fitness, he can't add it to C99, and the talent system prompts that the rest of the body is not up to standard, which is also a balance for Liang Xiao and a kind of protection, Liang Xiao has no choice but to add strength to D99, which costs him more than 120 talent points, and the remaining part is added to the defense on top of spiritual talent and skill talent, In this way, Liang Xiao's defensive aspect has improved a lot, because this is what Van Gundy's team must and must solve.

Mental talent, offensive ability e67 at critical moments, defensive ability e68 at critical moments, offensive awareness e72, defensive awareness e75, stability e46

Physical talent, stamina c99, strength d99, speed d57, bounce c67, agility d24, explosiveness d15, injury tendency d8.

Defensive talent, defensive rebound d17, ball carrier defense d28, open position defense d52, block d26, steal d24.

Offensive talent, short distance shooting D75, mid-range shooting D52, long range shooting D42, free throw C89, slam dunk D25, layup C37, ball control C18, passing C39, receiving C96, offensive rebound D5.

The four skills of 100 steps through Yang, fast as the wind, holding sheep with hands, and seeing the stitches are all e-no changes, but the immovable mountain that was opened later has become e, and all the defenses are strengthened to keep up with the Knicks' defense-based play, so that you can get more opportunities to play.

In fact, Liang Xiao's standard still stays at a relatively low-end level, and all its own data stay in the D stage, only some of them are in the C stage, and even the mental aspect is hovering in the E stage, which is also one aspect of Liang Xiao's relatively large physical energy consumption when opening natural skills, if the natural skills continue to increase in the back and the spirit does not keep up, the physical consumption will be greater.

Liang Xiao knows where his disadvantages are, and he has a clearer goal for himself to move forward, and at the same time, Liang Xiao also knows that he should be strengthened on the offensive end, so that there will be more scoring opportunities, more media and even the team will pay attention to him, but no one can become a fat man in one bite, it seems that there is a long way to go.

In the past ten preseason games, Liang Xiao has played between 26 and 32 minutes, averaging 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and more than 1 steal and block per game. The shooting rate can be maintained at about 58.6%, which is a good statistic for a player who keeps about 30 minutes of playing opportunities, especially the number of rebounds is a highlight, but in the regular season, Liang Xiao's playing time may be compressed to about 23 minutes, which is already very good for more than five minutes per quarter, which is still a case where the Knicks' victory can be guaranteed, and if they can't win, they may be compressed.

Before the end of the training camp, Van Gundy gathered all the people together and commented on the performance during this period one by one, for Liang Xiao's evaluation, Van Gundy's impression was very good, in Van Gundy's heart Liang Xiao was already a powerful bench in the regular season, and Liang Xiao's progress was very obvious and also made Van Gundy see a kind of hope.

At the end of the day, Van Gundy announced the team's 15-man roster, which was the Knicks' roster for the 2002-03 season.

Alan Houston, Antonio McDyce, Ratriel Sprewell, Shanton Anderson, Charlie Ward, Howard Easley, Clarence Witherspoon, Kurt Thomas, Ocella Harrington, Travis Knight, Michael Doriak, Frank Williams, Lee Nairon, Ravel Bosto, Liang Xiao.

At the age of 19, Liang became the youngest player of the Knicks. In the 15-man squad, McDeyes is an injury that can't be beaten, Liang Xiao's competition with Williams and Bai Sidu is still very advantageous, and even in the previous old substitute competition, he is also powerful, and he is not afraid of not being able to enter the 12-man rotation list at all.

After training camp, there is a three-day break, and then it's time for the NBA tour.
