"What? Is there a problem? Yang Mo glanced up at Isaiah Thomas and asked rhetorically.

"Harrington only has one year left on his expiring contract, and I think he was the best offensive player on the whole team last season, and if he's gone, the team won't have a real scorer." Isaiah Thomas spoke his mind truthfully.

When Yang Mo heard this, he carefully looked at the lineup again, frowned even tighter, and said: "To be honest, I really don't know what D'Antoni thinks, twelve players, six are forwards, plus me, it's seven." There is only one centre-forward in the box, but there is only one Milicic, which is unreasonable. ”

When Isaiah Thomas heard this, he shook his head in distress and said, "I don't know what the plan is in his head, I just know that now we have to tear down and rebuild." ”

"Can you replace all these players? I think it's a terrible lineup. Yang Mo said very directly.

"Uh... It's difficult, man. After the training camp starts, you first contact them, who you don't like, I will trade whoever you go, everything is up to you, and I am responsible for the specific work. What do you think? Isaiah Thomas directly figured out the division of labor between the two, and he was the best partner.

"That's all there is to it. I hope these guys can surprise me a little bit, and don't let me kick them all away. Yang Mo muttered and put the list of players in his pocket.

Then, after a few pleasantries, he turned and left. When I walked out the door, I saw D'Antoni coming towards me. Yang Mo wanted to talk to him more, but this guy just smiled with Yang Mo, and then left by mistake.

It is not difficult to see that D'Antoni does not like Yang Mo, and there is no place for Yang Mo in his tactical system. I don't know if it's because Yang Mo led the Heat team to teach him a hard lesson last season.

In this regard, Yang Mo just shrugged his shoulders and didn't take it seriously at all. He is no longer a little hairy man who has just entered the NBA, if D'Antoni really wants to go against Yang Mo now, he will definitely leave when the time comes, after all, Yang Mo is a shareholder of MSG, and the team has established him as the core. In recent years, it is not uncommon for stars to get rid of the head coach, and D'Antoni really has nothing to jump on, he has a set of run-and-bomb tactics to fight the world, strictly speaking, he is not even a first-line manager. Pull a hair?

And D'Antoni is not really disgusted with Yang Mo, after all, a healthy Yang Mo is indeed a quasi-first-line star who can turn the course of the game on his own, and his talent in running and bombing is amazing. The reason why he has a grudge against Yang Mo is entirely because of Isaiah Thomas, who regards Yang Mo as Isaiah Thomas's person. Isaiah Thomas, on the other hand, was the one who took away his position as general manager, as he was the head coach and general manager of the Knicks, and he was in charge of the team's life and death. Well, now Isaiah Thomas is back, his status has plummeted, and he has become an ordinary head coach, and I have to look at Isaiah Thomas's face.

Under this strong gap, it is impossible to have no negative emotions, after all, he is not a saint and gentleman.

Three days later, the Knicks players officially assembled, which meant that the new season officially arrived, and media interviews were opened on the same day.

After taking a family portrait of the whole team, Yang Mo was surrounded by a huge New York media group.

New York is the largest city in the United States and even in the world, and the reporters in this city are inherently a little arrogant, so their first question was to Yang Mo in a very critical tone: "Yang, now that the Knicks have established you as a new core player, do you think you can carry the hope of New York City on your shoulders with your ability?" ”

"Of course, why not?" Yang Mo tilted his head sideways and asked, "I'm here to lead the Knicks to glory." Everyone thinks the Knicks are a bad team now, but it doesn't matter, after having me, it's going to be a championship-caliber team within three years. ”

"We're going to get LeBron James next year, so I'm very confident in what you're talking about being a championship-caliber team in three years." Immediately, a reporter below said this.

Obviously, the Knicks' reporters still don't regard Yang Mo as the savior of the Big Apple, and in their opinion, Yang Mo is at most Robin next to Batman. Their positioning of Yang Mo is a second-in-command, that's all.

However, Yang Mo didn't come all the way to be the second master. And mentioning LeBron James's name in front of him was really rude and unfriendly, and he immediately left a sentence: "LeBron James can't save New York, only me." In a month's time, you will find out how stupid you are now! ”

With that, he turned and left.

Yang Mo is not afraid of offending these uncrowned kings at all, anyway, he has already fallen out with those basketball commentators, and he doesn't expect to see any positive news about himself from sports newspapers. These reporters still want to give themselves a beating, that's a big mistake, other players may be afraid of the media's verbal criticism, but Yang Mo doesn't eat this. In the year since his debut, has he been scolded by the sports media less? Isn't it the stupid guy who smacked all the way - the face was like a pig's head?

Yang Mo left the training hall without looking back, went directly to the locker room, lay on the comfortable massage chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, ignoring the reporters who complained and scolded loudly outside. They can do whatever they like, anyway, it's not Yang Mo's body that is angry.

Yang Mo lay on the massage chair and hummed a song for a while, and rookies Jordan Hill and Tony Douglas, who combed their explosive hair, walked in first, after all, they didn't have any reporters to interview. As soon as they came in and saw Yang Mo lying there humming, the two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and ran over to say hello: "Super-Yang, my name is Jordan Hill (Tony Douglas), please give me more advice in the future." ”

Yang Mo opened his eyes and looked at them twice, nodded, and said, "You are this year's rookies, right?" I was like you last year, and I hope you will ......."

Before Yang Mo's words were finished, an irritable shout came from the door: "Rookie, hurry up and buy me water, I'm dying of thirst." ”

The two glanced at the door, and then at Yang Mo, who was interrupted.

Just as they were about to go out to buy water, Yang Mo slowly stood up and turned around, only to see Eddy Curry standing at the door with a fierce look in his eyes.

When Eddie Curry saw Yang Mo, he subconsciously dodged a little, and he didn't dare to look directly at his eyes, after all, when the two met last season, he was cleaned up very badly.

"Are you thirsty?" Yang Mo squinted at him and asked without being salty.

"Ahem." Eddie Curry pretended to cough and pretended to be calm, "I'm a little dry-mouthed. ”

"I'm thirsty too." Yang Mo still said indifferently.

When Eddie Curry heard this, his fat head thought about it, and quickly shouted to Jordan Hill and the others: "Why don't you go buy water soon?" The boss is thirsty, don't you hear? ”

"Okay, okay." The two rookies hurriedly agreed to buy water, but at this time, Yang Mo reached out to stop them, and said to Eddy Curry instead: "I mean, you go buy water." ”

"Huh? I'm going to buy water? Eddie Curry didn't react a little, and tried to correct Yang Mo's thinking: "However, according to the rules, rookies buy water." ”

"My rule is, whoever is the fattest will buy water, are you not convinced?" Yang Mo's tone was still very flat, but he was already subconsciously breaking his fingers, gurgling, and the sound penetrated into Eddie Curry's ears, so frightened that he thought that Yang Mo, the violent demon king, was going to blow his head, and quickly nodded: "Okay, good, good, I'll buy it, I'll buy it." ”

With that, he quickly turned and left.

After driving away the nasty ghost of Eddie Curry, Yang Mo lay back on the massage chair.

"Thank you, Super-Yang!" The two hurriedly thanked Yang Mo.

"It's the biggest thank you to me for scoring more points on the pitch." Yang Mo smiled and said: "In my eyes, you are people who can contribute to the team, so I favor you." As for the fat fellow, it won't take a few days to pardon him, so as not to pollute the fresh air in our locker room. ”

"Well, we'll definitely play well." Both of them nodded, and they subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, feeling that the legendary Violent Demon King was not so terrifying. In the past, they thought that playing under Yang Mo would be very unpleasant, but they didn't expect Yang Mo to be so kind and help them speak. Immediately, the feeling was overflowing, and the loyalty soared.

After a while, the other players came back. Some came over to say hello, and some ignored Yang Mo lying on the massage chair. Obviously, there are still people in this team who are not particularly convinced by Yang Mo.

Yang Mo didn't speak immediately, correcting the attitude of that part of the people, until the panting Eddy Curry bought the drink back.

At the moment of receiving the drink from Eddie Curry's hand, Yang Mo slowly stood up, looked around, patted Eddie Curry's shoulder, and said, "You did a good job, remember that I am the leader of this team, unlike some people who don't know how to be inferior in status." ”

As soon as Yang Mo's words fell, his eyes swept directly to Jared Jeffries and Larry Hughes, these two people were telling jokes there very loudly as soon as they came in, greeting this person for a while, and letting the rookie carry the bag for a while, all of them were big brothers, they didn't put Yang Mo in their eyes at all, and even provoked Yang Mo intentionally or unintentionally, they seemed to want to find out the details of Yang Mo through the first meeting.

Yang Mo looked at these two people, and these two people also looked back at Yang Mo, their eyes were very sharp, and they looked like they were-for-tat.

"The leaders don't say it, they play it by the game." Larry Hughes replied with great disdain: "When I was in Cleveland, even LeBron James respected me very much, what are you putting in front of me now?" ”

"Good." Yang Mo nodded, clapped his palms, gave Larry Hughes a thumbs up, and said, "I like people like you who speak directly." Well, if you two pieces of waste can defend me once out of three attacks, I'll listen to you in the future. If you can't prevent it, how about you start sitting on the cold bench from today until you are traded? ”

As soon as Yang Mo's words came out, the locker room was in an uproar.

Do you want to take one against two? Although Jeffries and Hughes are past their prime, they used to be defensive masters after all, and Hughes also won the title of steal king. Isn't it too arrogant for Super-Yang to challenge like this?

Other teammates thought Yang Mo was arrogant, but Yang Mo was completely sure of himself. Today, he is here to Liwei. If you don't deter these guys the first time, you can expect them to obey your orders in the future.

"Okay, then come on!" Jeffries slapped the cabinet and stood up, looking like he was going to kill Yang Mo directly.

Larry Hughes also had an eager expression: "Since you want to bring shame on yourself, then we will fulfill you." When the time comes, don't lose so much that you cry. ”

"Heh, come on, then."

Yang Mo sneered, turned around and walked towards the basketball court.

Larry Hughes and Jeffries hurried to follow.

The rest of the team also quickly chased after them, and they didn't just join in the fun of this matchup, after all, it also determines who is the boss of this team in the future.
