Chapter 224: Meeting
The next day, Chen Jiyuan came to the stadium early for training, Chen Jiyuan knew that Thibodeau was a workaholic, so since Thibodeau said that he would come to the stadium today, it would not be too late. The fastest and most stable update dìng)
Chen Jiyuan's guess was right, and within a few minutes of Chen Jiyuan starting to train, Thibodeau and Latin came.
When Latin entered, he yawned and walked forward.
After Chen Jiyuan saw Latin and Thibodeau, he defended the ball and went up. For the head coach of this heart, Chen Jiyuan is actually full of curiosity and expectation in his heart, after all, no matter how detailed he knew in his previous life, it was all knowledge on the Internet, and it could not represent everything. If you want to know this person, you really have to contact it in person.
After meeting, Chen Jiyuan stretched out his hand, and Xibodeau also reached out to hold Chen Jiyuan's hand. "Chen, you used to be one of the players I hated the most, but now, you are my favorite player, there is no one. ”
Thibodeau's words were a bit unexpected by Chen Jiyuan, so Chen Jiyuan didn't react for a while, but Chen Jiyuan quickly understood the meaning of Thibodeau's words, and hated himself because of the game between the Knicks and the Celtics. At that time, the two of them were opponents, and there was no way to do it. It is estimated that every strong breakup of other teams is a thorn in Thibodeau's side. Thibodeau took pleasure in how to restrain these people.
After Chen Jiyuan understood the meaning of Thibodeau's words, he was about to speak, but he was preempted by Thibodeau, who said: "I want to build the Knicks into the strongest defensive team in the league." So, as the team's attacking arrow, your aggressiveness is very important. ”
Thibodeau's words are basically his training plan for next season.
Xibodu said to Chen Jiyuan: "Chen, can we talk together for a while in the afternoon?" I want to talk about the squad for next season. ”
Of course, Chen Jiyuan would not refuse this request. Decidelessly agreed, and then Thibodeau and Latin left, but not left. Instead, I went to the office, and it looked like the two of them were going to be working on some of the Knicks' lineup for next season this morning.
Chen Jiyuan and Ewing trained hard all morning. After eating at noon. Ewing went back first, because I don't know how long it will take this meeting in the afternoon, and I can't let Ewing be a senior waiting for Chen Jiyuan here. So let Ewing go back first.
When I came to the office, there were Thibodeau, Latin, and Britney Spears sitting inside.
Chen Jiyuan also sat down. Thibodeau didn't say any nonsense, and went straight to the point, "I have a few very optimistic players who think it will be very helpful for the Knicks to improve their strength, I will say it now, you can see how it goes." ”
Thibodeau paused for a moment before he continued: "First of all, my former disciple, Tony Allen, he was a very good outside defender, and the Celtics were able to beat the Cavaliers and Lakers last season, thanks in large part to his restrictions on LeBron and Kobe. I think with him, the Knicks' perimeter defense will be a lot more solid next season. I watched your game with the Cavaliers, I think the strength of the Cavaliers is not very strong, the main problem is how to limit James, and the Knicks just don't have such a person, so they will be beaten by James, and therefore lose the entire series, I think if it is not for James's storage, then it is not impossible for the Knicks to eliminate the Cavaliers, as long as they can limit James well. ”
Thibodeau took a sip of tea and said, "Tony is not going to improve this point for the Knicks, so I hope the Knicks will offer Tony a contract." ”
As soon as Thibodeau finished speaking, Chen Jiyuan immediately raised his hands and feet in agreement. As soon as Thibodeau mentioned Tony Allen, Chen Jiyuan instantly slapped his brain. How can you forget about such a player?
Chen Jiyuan has been blaming himself in his heart, what kind of memory is this. What the Knicks need is a strong outside defensive player, but, in the past, Chen Jiyuan was attracted by Iguodala's affairs, so much so that he forgot that the Cavaliers Knicks can find an outside defensive player. If he thought about this, Chen Jiyuan felt that the Knicks didn't need to wrap Josh Smith at all. If Allen is brought in, if the strength of the rookie is improving, then the Knicks will still have considerable strength next season, although there is still little hope of winning the championship. But at least you can fight for it.
Tony Allen should be a complete free man now, Chen Jiyuan clearly remembers that after the end of this season, Tony Allen accepted the Celtics' offer of a two-year, 500 contract extension, and Tony Allen also accepted the contract.
"So how much should we quote? Tom. Britney asked.
Without thinking, Thibodeau said, "I think a two-year, $6 million contract would be a good fit." I don't think the Celtics will give such a high contract extension. I know Danny well. I estimate that the contract extension he gave was up to $5.5 million for two years. Maybe even lower than that. Now if we offer 6 million for 2 years, and I am personally trying to persuade him, then we can be quite sure that we can get him. ”
Chen Jiyuan thinks that what Tom Thibodeau said is completely reasonable and very feasible.
Chen Jiyuan also likes Tony Allen very much, because this player is famous and driven, and he is very energetic on the field, whether it is offensive or defensive, as if he never knows tiredness. In the first round of the playoffs in the 2013-14 season, under the defense of Tony Allen, Durant's count and shooting percentage are really unbearable. This shows how great Aaron's defense is.
This matter is settled. Thibodeau then talked about trading David Lee and recruiting Matt Barnes.
Matt Barnes is also a defensive stalwort. Also, the players who can enter Thibodeau are all defensive titators, not defensive titan players, and after staying under Thibodeau for a while, it is estimated that they have also become defensive titans.
After that, Chen Jiyuan didn't participate much, but continued to practice.
In the evening, Chen Jiyuan went home, but Britney also followed Chen Jiyuan to his house. Chen Jiyuan didn't stop or ask, this was because Chen Jiyuan was used to it.
After entering the door, Britney quickly took off her coat, then looked at Chen Jiyuan with confused eyes, smiled slightly, her bewitching body lay on the sofa, and then stretched out her hand to Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan was also a little obsessed, but Chen Jiyuan quickly regained his consciousness, and then, stabilized his mind.
However, Britney, the little goblin, actually stretched out her lilac tongue and licked her red lips, and said angrily, "Epoch time." ”
Just these two words made Chen Jiyuan restless somewhere. Chen Jiyuan's little brother said to Chen Jiyuan: "Hey, are you calling me?" ”
Chen Jiyuan quickly turned around and entered the bathroom. Then he covered his little brother with his hand and scolded, "I didn't call you." ”
Chen Jiyuan, who took a cold shower, can be regarded as calming down.
When Chen Jiyuan, who had finished taking a bath, came out, Britney was already sitting on the sofa, as if the goblin of the ** person just now had never existed. Chen Jiyuan is sighing in his heart about the fickleness of women.
Suddenly, Britney asked, "Anno, will you accept me?" ”
This question is sudden, and it is also straightforward. How should Chen Jiyuan answer?
