Stockton paced out of the training hall, but Yang Mo slowly squatted down, spread his hands, stared attentively, and said something in his mouth: Strength? Finger strength?

While muttering, Yang Mo slowly flicked his fingers, looking at every muscle involved in his fingers, and feeling the power that could be involved with each flick. In the experience again and again, Yang Mo felt as if he had discovered some tricks, so he quickly grabbed the tennis ball and passed the ball again...... Bang bang!

No surprises, it was lost again.

It seems that Yang Mo still hasn't been able to control his sudden surge in power. When it comes to the power of passing, he simply doesn't get it right. Coupled with the fact that he had never practiced passing systematically before, this led to the terrible situation he is in now.

This time, Yang Mo was not too annoyed, but continued to squat down to test the power division on his palm. He can now understand why Stockton told himself to practice passing, which is to train him to control the power of the palm, and only when he has mastered this power can he talk about passing. After all, passing is a technique of precision, and the slightest mistake can be a mistake.

After groping for a while, Yang Mo continued to practice. Unfortunately, it didn't work out until his team-mates arrived, and he was able to make the occasional pass to a tennis ball, a far cry from Stockton's goal of two.

Yang Mo practiced intently all morning, and in the afternoon, three players did not appear in the training hall again. Because they were traded, and the people who traded were Harrington, Jordan Hill. Chris Duhon.

Yang Mo didn't pay too much attention to this news. This is what he expected, and the other players have no extra thoughts other than farewell, after all, this is a business league, and when the trade window opens, anyone can be traded, maybe the next one is himself. So, it's better to think more about yourself when you're worried about others.

In the afternoon, Yang Mo finally mastered some skills. He began to be able to consistently throw one in every pass, and by the time it was almost four o'clock he was finally able to throw in two, and sometimes even three.

This was a great surprise for him, and he even jumped a few times excitedly, feeling even more refreshing than a lore.

However, Stockton didn't get too excited when it came to testing the results of his training. didn't even have a smile on his face, he just said very plainly: "Well, don't practice any more today, it's no good to continue practicing, take a good rest and put ice cubes on your arms." Don't wait until tomorrow to lift it. ”

Stockton left after saying this, not expressing any personal emotions about Yang Mo's training results.

This made Yang Mo a little frustrated, he thought he would be rewarded, but in fact he didn't.

Fortunately, this frustration did not last long, and after half an hour of practice, he went to the locker room to find some ice cubes and put it on cold. While he is applying a cold compress. Nate Robinson walked over with some low interest, and he said slowly, "Yang." Don't you like me? ”

"Huh?" Yang Mo frowned and looked up, he felt very strange about this question.

"My agent told me I could be traded to Boston during the All-Star break, and he prepared me to move at any time." Nate Robinson said in particular frustration.

"To Boston?" Yang Mo was a little surprised, although he had also seen Nate Robinson's name on Isaiah Thomas's trade list before, but he was planning to trade him to Golden State at the time, but he didn't expect it to be changed to Boston now.

"Don't you know?" Nate Robinson asked with some surprise, "Doesn't that mean that all transactions require your nod to be executed?" ”

"I really don't know if you're going to be traded to Boston, but maybe it's better for you to change the environment, the Celtics are a championship-caliber team, and you're going to have a good time there." Yang Mo tried to be relieved.

"But I don't want to leave New York at all, I think it's better for me to run away with you, and I might not even get playing time when I go to Boston." Robinson looked very depressed, without the slightest bit of confidence.

"This..."Yang Mo really didn't know what to say, because for him, although this guy was a master of chaotic warfare, but... It's also a double-edged sword, he's a player who needs the ball to play, and his size dooms his defense to be a tragedy. Although it is possible that one night he can bring you thirty plus stats and even save the team. On more nights, however, he takes on the role of disrupting the team's rhythm.

So, for Yang Mo, if trading him can get a player with better defense, then why say-no?

Seeing that Yang Mo was hesitant, Robinson stopped talking, he knew that the transaction was inevitable. So, he turned around and silently packed up his things, carefully and carefully, and even tore off the photos on the locker.

Yang Mo was also a little sentimental when he saw him like this, after all, he had been together for so long, and he was somewhat reluctant to suddenly separate.

However, it can only be so. This is the cruelty of competitive sports, and the essence of commercial leagues, where any player is a tradable item.

Robinson packed up his things and silently walked out of the locker room.

As soon as he walked out, Isaiah Thomas walked in with a list, and as soon as he came in, he handed the list to Yang Mo, and then said in a debriefing tone: "Yang, we just finalized three deals, you can take a look." ”

Yang Mo glanced at it, and the first one was a three-way trade that had been executed in the morning, and the Knicks offered Jordan Hill, Kriss, Dujon and Harrington in exchange for Maddie and a draft pick. The deal is undoubtedly wonderful, because with the exception of Jordan Hill, who can provide some playing time, the other two players have basically never played, and their roles have either been overlapped or frozen by Yang Mo. And Maddy's arrival will undoubtedly enrich the team's tactical play, and most importantly, empty salary space for the summer.

After reading the first one, Yang Mo glanced at the second one, Nate Robinson plus a 10-year second-round pick in trade for Eddie House, Bill Walker.

Yang Mo pondered for a while, Bill Walker is a rookie and hasn't played much, so he is basically a partner. Eddie House, on the other hand, is a well-known bench bandit, although he is older than Robinson, but his organizational skills are much better than him, and he is also a guy who can provide energy to the team as soon as he gets on the court, although he is not very tall. The deal was generally reasonable.

Then, Yang Mo looked at the third deal, trading David Lee to Golden State in exchange for Turyaf and Anthony Randolph.

After David Lee's name, Isaiah Thomas notes an expiring contract.

Obviously, this deal is on paper, the Knicks are losing, and David Lee is also a 15+10 player. Anthony Randolph and Turyaf add up to this data, but, according to David Lee's urine, he will definitely have a big contract when his contract expires, and he still has a knot with Yang Mo, so it is not necessary to change jobs when the time comes. It's better to take advantage of the fact that he is still out of contract to make a trade, and more or less exchange for two usable players.

Turyaf's style of play is tough, but it fits Stein's tactical requirements. As for Anthony Randolph, although he had a conflict with Yang Mo in his rookie season, he is also a potential insider, although he has lost some weight, but his explosiveness is not bad. If you are well trained, you can also become a good blue-collar worker.

"This deal with Golden State is to see if we can get another guard from Nelson Sr." Yang Mo pointed to the name on it and said slowly.

"Well, old Nelson is too shrewd, I'm afraid there is no way, unless we take another player." Thomas replied with a smile.

"Okay, I've agreed to all these deals, you can execute them." Yang Mo nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Coach Stein again, and if there's no problem, during the All-Star break, all the deals will be done." Isaiah Thomas nodded and walked out of the locker room.

Yang Mo applied a cold compress for a while, and then turned around and went home.

On the way home, Yang Mo also thought carefully about the next lineup, and in general, the defense was stronger, but he didn't know what the chemistry would be. And one thing that Yang Mo is particularly worried about is whether Maddie can adapt to the identity of a supporting role, and what if he comes over and insists on playing with himself as the core?

Yang Mo's worries are not unreasonable, after all, Maddie has almost existed as a core for so many years, and suddenly became a supporting role, I don't know if I can adapt.

Yang Mo returned home with worries, and found that there was no one at home, so he turned on the TV when he was idle, and subconsciously turned on the sports station as soon as he turned on the TV. At a glance, it turned out that it was a reporter interviewing Maddie at the New York airport, although Maddie on TV was half a circle fat, but her face was full of smiles and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Uh... I'm ready to help Super-Yang. It's the age of young people and I'm going to try to reduce my playing time because I'm not 100 per cent off my injury. Maddie spoke very kindly to reporters.

At this time, the reporter hurriedly asked: "So, do you think you can lead the team to the playoffs?" ”

"I'm very confident in that." Maddie said confidently, "I'm here for the playoffs. ”

"Do you think you can handle your relationship with Super-Yang? He's a tough player in the league. The reporter finally threw out a targeted question.

Hearing this, Maddy paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have a lot of experience in communicating with Chinese players, and I believe I will definitely be able to deal with his ......."

When he said this, Yang Mo turned off the TV directly, and he felt that things were a little tricky
