In the summer of 2012, it seems that there are a lot of big names, but in fact, Howard, Paul and Li Feng have all chosen to renew their contracts, and only Harden and others are free agents who have switched to other teams, and the biggest name is Harden.

After Harden left, the Knicks also had to strengthen the perimeter, their targets were Dragic of the Rockets and Hayward of the Jazz, of which Hayward was a restricted free agent, and the Knicks did not get much of a chance, so the Knicks targeted Dragic.

In Tyberdu's new season, Rose will focus on scoring, so a guard like Dragic will have a strong tactical point for the Knicks.

The 191cm Dragic is not low in stature as a point guard, and he can play a double-guard tactic with Rose, coupled with Li Feng, who is a first-class organizer, the Knicks' offensive fluency will definitely go to the next level.

Dragic's offensive means are abundant, the characteristics of long range and fast speed are destined to make him a wonder on the court, he has a rare skillful footwork of a guard, and is good at sending the ball into the basket at an extremely difficult angle among many long men under the basket, he also has gorgeous ball control skills, often teasing opponents with crotch and back luck, scoring points on fast break layups is his forte, and occasionally chooses to slam dunk, following Steve Nash in the Suns for a few years, he also has a certain grasp of the rhythm of the fast break, Dragic has the ability to shoot from mid-range with a single hand of quick stop, basically no back ability, perhaps because of injuries, his outside shooting percentage in the Suns last season has not been high, after the transfer to the Rockets, Dragic's three-point shooting gradually recovered as high as 50%.

Compared with the PG of the Rockets in the early stage, Dragic's biggest advantage is his height, he is 1.91 tall, which was previously lacking in Alston, Brooks and even Lowry, making up for the lack of height on the point guard line. Usually can stifle the average physical PG, and it is more than enough to use him to defend the opponent's backup point guard, but it is a little difficult to meet the strong guards of Rose and Delon, Dragic has outstanding rebounding ability, and it is worth mentioning that he has 10+ rebounds in the three games he started with the Rockets at the end of the season, which is a staggering number.

Dragic has the common characteristics of European point guards: he has good vision, often sends good balls in fast breaks, and compared with his idol Nash, he still has some shortcomings: first of all, he seems to be not mature and calm enough, has a mediocre view of the big picture, and is a little less able to handle complex scenes. And he is also a little uncalm, often wanting to play a good show with more than a dozen, but sometimes he is often embattled and forced to make mistakes, in addition, he also needs to reduce the time of sticking to the ball - this is also a common problem of general point guards, in general, as the tacit understanding with his teammates grows, his assist-to-turnover ratio will gradually increase. In the first few games of the Rockets, he averaged 8.3 assists and only 1.4 turnovers per game! You can see that there has been gratifying progress.

Donny Walsh got in touch with Dragic's agent as soon as possible, because Dragic's old club, the Phoenix Suns, was also interested in Dragic, and the reason why Dragic left the Rockets was that the Rockets did not give Dragic a contract of 10 million, although the Knicks could give such a contract. But there's no room for the Suns, who could offer two caps this summer if necessary.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Suns to give Dragic the full salary, and the Suns initially offered 37 million over four years. And Walsh decisively bid 55 million for 5 years, which will crush the Suns at once, and finally the Knicks got Dragic.

The rest of the free market was uneventful. The Mavericks' signing of Mayo, Collison and others has become the biggest news, and there are no big trades until the preseason of the new season.

……

The new season is coming, Li Feng walked all the way into MSG, as soon as he entered the training ground, the smell of the floor, the smell of basketball and sweat mixed into leather and sweat, and he came to his nose.

He looked at the court with a smile on his face, and at this moment the Knicks players were doing their own exercises, and when they saw Li Feng approaching, one of them stopped and looked at Li Feng, while others continued their practice.

Tyberdu slapped his palm: "Charlotte children, lean closer to me, we have new friends here." ”

At this time, the Knicks' players all gathered around, and Li Feng glanced at the crowd, most of them were familiar faces, as well as Dragic and Vucevic, Harris and Jones.

"Li Feng, I will always remember your violence."

Dragic walked over as he spoke, shaking Li Feng's hand.

"It's nice to be your teammate, it's good."

Vucevic is just a marginal person, last year he was a marginal person, and this year the Knicks are also here because of compatriot Kirilenko, and for players like Li Feng, Vucevic also has a lot of respect.

Harris also stretched out his hand towards Li Feng:

"I'll follow you in the future!"

Li Feng smiled and shook Harris's hand, Harris has good potential, although the team's forward guards are crowded, but it is not without opportunities, he and Kirilenko and Parsons can play power forward, and the team has no reinforcement inside, and the small forward can still free up playing time.

"Come on! Li Feng, let's see how effective your summer training is. We had a 10-minute group training, and we knew that there were still Trail Blazers waiting for us in the afternoon. Li Feng, Dragic, JR, Parsons, Vucevic, you are in white training clothes. ”

"DeMarcus, Greg, Kirilenko, Belineri, Derek wear our red jersey."

When Tyberdu had finished speaking, he stood aside, and then said:

"Li Feng, don't let the players down!"

Li Feng closed his eyes for a moment, and then suddenly opened them,

"Fight, come on! My teammates, I should let you know how I fight. ”

In the opening game, the white team attacked first, and the white team's Smith and Dragic left the three-second zone very tacitly, handing over the basket to the two giants to fight.

As soon as Monroe came over to defend, Li Feng immediately moved sideways to the position, his steps were very fast, and his movements were very coordinated, which could be used as a textbook for important positions.

Two steps horizontally, Li Feng was obviously exposed. Dragic stuffed the ball in one by one, Li Feng took a step forward to receive the ball, that is, this step, Li Feng lost the position he had just stuck, a little far from the position of the basket, Li Feng and Dragic's tacit understanding was not enough.

Li Feng got the ball, held the ball in both hands, and straightened his waist back, ready to prepare for this attack.

At this time, everyone looked at Li Feng, and they didn't know what kind of way Li Feng was going to use to carry out his first attack.

And Cousins, who was in the same group as Monroe, laughed. He knew what Li Feng would do.

Li Feng straightened his waist, and then suddenly sat back with pure force, but there was no trick, and he directly shook it with force in a slightly farther place, for such a situation, Monroe did not expect that Li Feng's ball skills have always been changeable, but today, it was the blood in Monroe's chest that was surging, and his ribs were almost broken. Backed back a small step.

All the team staff in the training center are watching!

didn't expect Li Feng to come up, so he used his pure strength to push Monroe out of the mall, and everyone's mouths were open, what kind of monster is this. Although Li Feng was also fierce before, Monroe's strength was not weak!

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and then they saw a terrifying scene, Li Feng's entire body was like a hard bow opening and closing. He straightened up, then bent down and took another step.

Monroe is fighting with all his might against the monsters of great power. Just one step you can say you are not ready! But in this second step, I used all my strength! But he didn't expect that it was useless at all, and his whole body was moving backwards uncontrollably.

Monroe panicked, of course he knew Li Feng's strength, he couldn't resist, he was unwilling, so he held his position harder, looking forward to guarding his homeland.

So in the Knicks' training center, there was this scene, a big red man's body rammed backwards at once, his broad back and the chest of the big black man behind him collided again and again, as if two pieces of gold and iron were colliding with each other, and the huge training center was full of wheezing and the "bang" and "bang" impact of the body.

In the midst of the violent impact, Monroe retreated, and retreated, unable to stop the movement of the great force even with all his might.

As his footsteps retreated, Monroe's heart sank, couldn't I really stop him, even so! Am I really inferior to him?

No, I still have the most reluctant! The moment he makes a move, I'm sure I'll be able to block him, Monroe is right, he has the bounce of man, and the league's second block after Camby.

But Li Feng got to the basket, and then suddenly sped up, no longer used force, but swung the degree of turning to the extreme, a big turn to the front of the basket, raised his hand, Monroe flew up, he turned over and hooked his right hand, and simply scored.

The viewers of the training center were dumbfounded, the strong strength, the degree that does not belong to the big man, the soft touch, he is simply a big killer for low-level attack.

As soon as Li Feng's attack on this side was completed, the other side immediately played the ball in the half time and hoisted the ball into Monroe's hands to see how he dealt with Li Feng.

Monroe wanted to squeeze the opponent like Li Feng when he got the ball, but the difference in strength made him unable to do what he wanted at all, and he sat back two steps in a row. Li Feng is like a mountain range rooted in the earth, and Monroe can't shake him at all.

Monroe was separated from the basket by Li Feng's mountain range, he couldn't score any more inches, but this is not a game, he can't pass the ball at all, this is a pair of slashes between him and Li Feng, only by cutting down the opponent can he win, his teammates and the Knicks staff are watching him.

He has no way to retreat at all, and there is no way forward, in the cracks, Monroe retreated, he could only choose to retreat and then turn around to shoot, Monroe's turn and shot quickly, but Li Feng was not slow, he was squeezing the opponent in the next game, the moment he turned around, he suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Monroe's eyes, Li Feng's defense did not prevent the ball, but guarded the eyes, the result of this was that Monroe could not see anything in front of him at all, threw the ball high, an arc crossed, Li Feng's defense succeeded.

Compared with the two, Li Feng's attack is hard and hard, and it is a rigid destruction of Monroe's defense, and Monroe has no way to take Li Feng's defense, even the most rear. Li Feng also completely mastered the other party.

In the second battle, Li Feng was already a direct fight of a hard bridge and a hard horse, and hit the ball to the basket. Then turn around and throw your hands to take the points.

The second attack of Monroe, he still didn't believe that he couldn't shake Li Feng's mountain, but no matter how powerful the beast was, it couldn't be as strong as the mountain range, and the effect was the same as the first time.

In the third round, Li Feng no longer attacked hard. Instead, he turned around and scored directly with a long-range hook.

As if inspired, Monroe took the ball and turned around for a long-distance hook, Li Feng didn't expect that Monroe would also use the same tricks as himself. When he jumped up and covered the ground. It was a little late, just a fingertip touching the ball.

But it was Li Feng's hand that helped, Monroe's goal, and when Li Feng looked back at the ball he touched, the ball had already entered the basket.

With this funny ball, the feeling of the whole training game was relaxed, and when he received the ball again, Li Feng started to pull cover, pass the ball and so on.

Monroe saw that Li Feng was not coming, and he began to do dirty work.

This feeling made Li Feng very comfortable and relaxed. There were also wonderful goals in the stadium, cheers in the training center, and at the last 15 seconds of the game, Li Feng took the ball in one step outside the three-second zone. Then suddenly turn around.

Sideways facing Monroe. At this time, Monroe knew that Li Feng was going to play by himself in the last little time of the game. But he doesn't want to become a tool for Li Feng to play, he needs to get back a little face.

He thought so, but Li Feng didn't give him such a chance. His right foot moved slowly, and his hand seemed to be ready to be raised to shoot, just like he did last season. Monroe likes Li Feng's shots. Because then he can give Li Feng a bigger hot pot.

Li Feng suddenly raised his hand. Of course, Monroe didn't move, it was so fake that even a ninth-grader knew that it was a rather stupid feint. Then Li Feng suddenly pushed the ball to the left side of Monroe with both hands as if he was about to give up, but when Monroe looked at the left, there was no ball at all.

The ball jumped between Li Feng and Monroe, and cut into the hands of JR on the right, and JR Smith took the ball in the center and made a slam and changed hands for a dunk.

"My God!"

The arena rang out, cheers and applause for the first time in a long time. Everyone was stunned by Li Feng's goal.

"How did the ball get to the right! It's a push pass on the left, what's going on, magic, or juggling? ”

There was a constant stream of doubts in the arena.

It's really weird, a push pass from the left, but the ball goes to the right, against all conventions.

"Well done! Li Feng. ”

Ross came over and slapped Li Feng's palm, and Li Feng's strength has become stronger again!

"Unfair !!"

At this time, when Monroe was snoring unfairly, and everyone felt strange, he pointed to Cousins, who was smiling evilly, and said:

"DeMarcus also has to play with Fenglai, so it's fair!"

Cousins' smile froze suddenly, he knew the results of Li Feng's summer training.

"DeMarcus, let's have fun!"

Li Feng picked up the basketball and stood in front of Cousins, Uncle Cousins had to compromise, and everyone surrounded him.

Li Feng, who attacked first, dribbled the ball calmly, and did not begin to make contact with the opponent until the top of the arc, and Cousins had stuck his position and prevented Li Feng from continuing to dribble forward.

Cousins was actually a little depressed when he shouted to Monroe that he was going to end up, it was too difficult to fight Li Feng, and Li Feng would not necessarily beat himself like Monroe.

But Li Feng's next move was completely unexpected by everyone, even though Cousins has been playing in the NBA regular game for two years, he has never seen such a fierce and brutal guy.

Originally, Li Feng's first dribble looked more like a feint, but Cousins stood in a good position and stuck in front of Li Feng just to block his feint.

But the second Cousins got stuck in his position, he realized that his wishful thinking had failed.

There was no warning, but Li Feng suddenly lowered his shoulders in an instant and started violently.

The big man doesn't change direction too quickly, and Cousins' slot is actually very accurate.

"Feints? It's useless. ”

Cousins is judging his opponent's moves based on experience.

He just wants the other party to retreat, don't think that he can shake himself off with a single move.

But Cousins only had time to lower his center of gravity and push his shoulders against Li Feng, and in the next second, everything changed.

"Hell, it's not a feint!" When Cousins's shoulders collided with Li Feng's, he could only feel half of his body numb.

The worst thing is that he found that Li Feng was not faking at all, nor did he have any false movements.

The explosive force. Facing Cousins' body is hard.

And the kid who was dribbling the ball unhurriedly just now just passed by.

It was as if the violent impact just now had no effect on Li Feng's movement at all.

All that was left for Cousins was his numb shoulders and surprised eyes.

Soaring into the air, holding the ball in both hands, his thick arms tugging hard at the basket.

Li Feng's movements were coherent and smooth, and after landing, he still grabbed the basketball he had just bounced in his hand, and slapped his hands hard, and the muffled sound echoed in the basketball hall.

"For you!"

Li Feng threw the ball over, and then stared at the opponent in front of him.

That kind of look, sharp. With a strong sense of oppression, as if fighting to the death.

There had been sparse discussion on the sidelines just now, and it came to an abrupt end at this moment.

"What did I see just now? Cousins was so easily scored by a striker? ”

With an incredulous expression on Dragic's face, he could only turn to his partner next to him, hoping to make sure that everything he had just seen was a hallucination.

"Uh...... It seems that yes, Cousins was beaten and Li Feng was too strong......"

Although they didn't say anything, the newcomers were all shocked by Li Feng's strength.

If the offense just now was stunned, then the next defense was not just wide-eyed. It made Cousins, as an opponent, feel the pressure.

The net, a big net, Cousins, who has been playing in the NBA for two years, has never felt this way.

But the other party's big hands. Always shrouded over your head, never leaving for a moment.

It's like a big net, buckled above your head, as long as you dare to make a move. It will mercilessly throw you out of the basketball interception.

Cousins, who has always had good back-to-back singles skills, felt unable to turn around when he was forced to the three-second zone by his opponent for the first time.

Li Feng didn't use his hands to support the other party's back, he just stuck to Cousins with his body.

Turn around? no。 Almost every time Cousins tried to change the direction of his turn, Li Feng could sense it.

And the two people who have been completely dead together can't distance themselves at all.

The hard-to-face between the two big men was so deadlocked.

Impact, Cousins is not the kind of person with solid eyes, and his footsteps are actually not slow.

But now the guy he met didn't give him a chance at all.

"Damn, Li Feng didn't take me seriously!"

In fact, the first time he met head-on, Cousins could feel that Li Feng was not a professional defensive move.

But Li Feng is the opponent whose muscles are hard against him, and he is not afraid of impact at all.

He just guarded a bottom line, "Want to squeeze past yourself? Dream! ”

It's not a regular game, but every pro has a twenty-four second subconscious in their mind, and self-esteem doesn't allow Cousins to just play like that.

Turning sideways and carrying hard, after a stalemate of almost fifteen seconds, Cousins finally exerted his strength.

With his shoulders pressed against his opponent's chest, Cousins had a small hook on the side.

In this kind of angle and confrontation, this is the only way to ensure the hit rate.

But as soon as Cousins turned around, the feeling of oppression that had been stuck behind him suddenly disappeared.

And as soon as the basketball that had been detached from his fingertips was thrown, he was suppressed by a ferocious force.

"Smack!"

The sound of the palm of the hand slapping the basketball is crisp and loud.

Along the way, Cousins felt the tips of his fingers burn with the friction of the basketball.

"Pretty!!"

Monroe was overjoyed to see Cousins covered!

But this time, the beautiful cap seemed to be drawn on the other party's face, and Cousins now has a very ugly expression on his face, and his mood can be imagined.

But he couldn't deny that the defense just now was really beautiful.

At the moment when Cousins exerted his strength, the opponent stepped back, and then slammed forward, jumping up just high enough to slap Cousins's small hook hand.

Cunning and spicy, Li Feng seems to be a deadly hunter.

He's always digging traps, waiting for his opponent to jump, and every step you take, you're dying.

The same is true for the next two attacks, Li Feng's oppressive strong burst, although he may not always take advantage of Cousins, he will always put pressure on the opponent.

Maybe it was the sudden block that disrupted Cousins' mind a bit, and he only had two offenses anyway, but Li Feng had already scored three goals.

Uncle Cousins also knelt down! (To be continued......)
