Chapter 010 must leave him

The Knicks' physical trainer is in his forties, and he doesn't start to get lucky at this age like most Americans, and he has been playing with Liang Xiao for a while.

The height of the bare foot is 197.3cm (all the data are universal, it is difficult to convert), the arm span is 201.27cm, the weight reaches 91.7kg, the fat content is 5.6%, the touch height is 361.42cm, the vertical bounce in place is 92.47cm, the maximum bounce of the run-up is 104.96cm, the bottom line is 12.07 seconds, the 3/4 field is 3.64 seconds, and the bench press 84kg failed to push one. NBA's technology is still more advanced than the domestic one, each data is very accurate, this period of training does not seem to be in vain, although the strength, speed is still relatively weak, but these can rise in the back, bounce is still their own advantage, compared to the NBA rookie is not much better.

"Oh, Liang, your bounce is so good, you can get to the NBA, it seems that you have not been less workout before!" Strength and conditioning coach Donald has seen so many NBA players, but he is still amazed when he sees Liang Xiao's bounce.

"Exercise, I've only been exercising for more than two months, and I rarely exercised before!"

"What, it's only been more than two months, it's true, I remember that the Chinese are very humble." It had only been two months since Donald heard it, and he was even more surprised. "If that's the case, then you're really made for basketball." Donald couldn't help but pat Liang Xiao's buttocks and praised Liang Xiao with an open attitude from the Americans.

Liang Xiao still knows that in the NBA, Americans are far less reserved than Asians, and they fully show their personality and slowly adapt to it. Seeing the praise of the physical trainer for me, I have a certain bottom in my heart, although I was very confident when I came here.

Since the NBDL, the development league of the NBA, is far less developed than later generations, rookies or preseason players who mix in the NBA are not selected by the team and do not play in the NBDL as later generations to wait for the call of the home team. The NBDL started in 2001, with only 8 teams at the beginning, and after continuous expansion, it was only later that the climate was formed, so that the parent team's delegated players or draft and preseason players went to the NBDL to train and reserve talents for the parent team, but in New York in 2002, Liang Xiao obviously did not have such an opportunity.

There is no such sound development league as in later generations, there is no honing the same tactical play style as the parent team, for a player who has just entered the NBA, the preseason is particularly important, the intensity of NBA events is far more than other basketball leagues around the world, and the physical fitness of NBA players is also the best in the world. At the beginning of China's Wang Zhizhi entering the league, because he did not catch up with the preseason, he did not have a good run-in for the next season, so he played extremely unsatisfactory. The most convincing of all is the German tank Dirk Nowitzki, who had a mediocre performance when he first entered the league, but continued to play golden statistics in the following seasons after continuous adjustments in the preseason.

For Liang Xiao, whether he can finally occupy a place in the New York Knicks, the preseason is very important. The guard line of the New York Knicks looks old and has no explosiveness, most of these are the guards left over from the Jordan era, with an average age of more than 30 years old, but it is difficult to have bright spots, "Mid-pitch King" Alan Houston, "Madman" Sprewell, these two defenders who were willing to be green leaves in New York in the Ewing era, formed after Ewing's retirement, may only leave people with the impression of "Black Eight Miracle", these players in the Jordan era are aging step by step, It is difficult for them to support the Knicks in the rising alliance of strong players and juniors, which is the tragedy of the Knicks in the post-Ewing era, and it is also their tragedy.

On draft day, the New York Knicks and the Denver Nuggets made a trade, with the Knicks trading Marcus Camby, the 96th Golden Generation's top spot, Mark Jackson plus rookie Nene Hilario from the Nuggets for Antonio McDyce and rookie Frank Williams and a second-round pick in '03. If the Knicks had foresight, they would have regretted the deal. Despite the curse of all the top players, Marcus Camby is also a mediocre performer as the top player, but he is indeed one of the league's iron-blooded forwards, although injuries cost the fighter only 29 appearances last season, but it is clearly not worth it to add Nene to a power forward McDyce, as it all turned out. Nene continues to grow, and Camby also plays an important role in the Nuggets, although McDice is talented, once the league's top power forward, the 95-year-old star may also be cursed by the same curse as Camby, in 2001, the knee injury broke out, and it was out of control, only to the Knicks to be injured, the whole season was reimbursed, and he failed to contribute to the Knicks with 12 million. Mark Jackson, a veritable assist player in the league with more than 10,000 assists, is much more mature and easy to use than rookie Frank Williams, although he is constantly aging. The Knicks' salary in 2002 was as high as more than 90 million in the whole season, but there were more than 20 million people who paid for injuries, and the Knicks, who had a high luxury tax, had to say that the situation was very grim, and the whole team was an elderly army, with only one or two players under the age of 25, or players who averaged only a few minutes per game. Before the start of the new season, the entire Knicks were anxious, perhaps this was the labor pain before childbirth, Ewing's departure, the team continued to begin to rebuild.

Liang Xiao and the strength and conditioning coach came to the sidelines of the training field, and Bob and assistant coach Doug stopped talking. "How's that, Wells, how is this young man from China?" The assistant coach said to the strength and conditioning coach.

"Oh, that's great. I've never seen an Asian player who bouncing so well. We've got to keep him, keep this Chinese lad, he's going to bring a whirlwind to our back line, I believe him, Doug, I believe he has the ability! Strength and conditioning coach Wells was visibly excited, and it seemed incredible for him to find such a player in the non-draft.

Doug took the physical statistics handed over by Wells, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said with words in his mouth, "Not bad, not bad" patted Bob's arm and said excitedly: "Bob, you brought us a good player, thank you, I'm sure our Jeff will be happy." ”
