"Facing the New York Knicks, who are known for their defense, the Bulls' Scottie. Pippen scored 36 points! The Knicks' poor defense made him want it on the offensive end, and the reason for this was that the Knicks lacked a real main small forward. ”

This season, the Knicks' starting forward is Charles. Smith and Charles. Oakley, Smith doesn't mention it, although Oakley is 2.03 meters tall, he is a standard interior blue-collar, if he was young, he might be able to barely keep up with the speed of outside players, but now he is old, and it is even slower and outrageous. ”

"Pat. Riley actually wants Oakley to defend Pippen, it's just whimsical, the Knicks' current lineup can be described as old and slow, the lack of a real small forward is a very fatal flaw, but Pat. Riley doesn't seem to think so, which has led to the Knicks' current deformed lineup, and if it continues like this, let alone the championship, it is unknown whether the Knicks can break through from the East. ”

A large piece of news sprinkled with excitement actually only expresses one meaning throughout the article.

The Knicks don't have a proper small forward.

This question, Pat. Don't Riley know? Of course he knows, but the question is, where in the league are there so many quality small forwards for the Knicks? Did one fall from the sky?

These reporters simply stand and talk without backache, and it is estimated that Michael . Jordan is going to pay quickly and then join the Knicks to make them happy.

In fact, Pat. Riley has been scouting quality players for the small forward position for the past two years, and this summer they used the 24th pick in the first round to select small forward Monty. Williams, available as a rookie at the bottom of the first round, Monty. Williams is not an instant striker, and is nowhere near as appropriate for Oakley to play as a small forward on the court.

Putting the newspaper aside, Pat. Riley rubbed his eyebrows.

It's all been some bad news lately.

Orlando Magic Shaq. O'Neill & Anferne. Hardaway's inside and outside partners have become more and more proficient, and now he can stabilize the Knicks in terms of record.

The Bulls also faintly rumored that some Michael. Although the gossip that Jordan intends to return to the team, although it is still only a rumor, there is no wind and no waves, and if one day the whole world is suddenly flooded with news of Jordan's comeback, Riley will not be surprised at all.

In the West, the Rockets, who fought seven games against the Knicks in the finals last year, also received strong reinforcements in the summer, and the addition of "Glider" Drexler made Houston stronger than last year.

If this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Knicks to compete for the championship this season.

If you don't even have a chance this season...... Wait until next summer for the first core Patrick. Ewing's contract expires, and it will be even more difficult.

Ewing has publicly stated on more than one occasion that he is not satisfied with his current salary and wants a big contract.

In order to keep this representative figure of the team, the Knicks must give a contract that is enough to satisfy the other party, which will undoubtedly further squeeze the Knicks' salary space.

"If you can't win the championship this year......"

Pat. Riley has already thought about it, because if this Knicks don't even have a chance to win the championship in the two years that Jordan is away, it will not be possible in the future.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the office door.

The team's assistant coach, Jeff. Van Gundy walked in.

"Pat, today's training has been arranged...... However, the players have a lot of complaints about the extra practice, especially Patrick, who has lost his temper several times today. ”

Van Gundy, who was still young at the time and in his early thirties, knew his teacher's style well and knew why he had arranged for his players to practice during the holidays.

The loss to the Bulls in the Christmas game made Pat Brown. Riley was upset, and it was a form of punishment for the players.

Throughout Pat. Riley's relentless coaching style permeated all the teams he coached.

Indeed, this style of coaching has made him one of the most successful head coaches in the league, but it has also earned him a lot of criticism and mixed reputations.

Right now, there are already many players on the Knicks team who are dissatisfied with Riley's high-pressure coaching style.

If it was just some ordinary role players, it would be fine, but now even the team's star Ewing is the same.

Van Gundy is genuinely worried that the team will erupt into more serious conflicts as a result.

"Okay, I got it."

Pat. When Riley heard this, he said a noncommittal word, and he couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations in his voice, as if it was very ordinary. "Anything else?"

"Oh, yes." Van Gundy suddenly remembered something. "I heard Larry say today that in the past two days, there has been a very strong Asian in Rock Park, who has been going head-to-head in Rock Park, and has won all of them so far, and it is said that his physical fitness and skills are quite strong, and he may have the potential to play in the NBA, so Larry is going to take a look today."

Larry is one of the Knicks' scouts, and has been a scout for the Knicks for many years, and he has a good eye for the Knicks.

"Awesome Asian? Didn't lose in two heads-up days at Rock Park? ”

Pat. Riley raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although there is a huge gap between professional and amateur, as an experienced head coach, he knows very well that those guys at Rock Park may not be good at playing 5v5 full-court, but the level of heads-up is not bad at all, and those bells and whistles are very deceptive dribbling skills, which are difficult to deal with without a 24-second offensive time limit.

What's more, the street players in Rock Park are all arrogant, and if there is a guy with a good level, he will definitely rush to challenge him, and it seems that he can still maintain a complete victory in this situation, which seems to be a bit capable.

But even so, Riley didn't take it to heart.

To date, no streetball player has performed particularly well on the professional stage, and he doesn't expect much from that.

Even when he heard about Asians, he didn't have much interest.

Of course, he will not deliberately stop it, he believes that with Larry's eyes, as long as he sees the opponent playing, he should give up.

……

"That's a lot of people!"

Larry, who is almost fifty years old, struggled to squeeze through the crowd and was slightly surprised by the crowd at Rock Park.

When there's no competition, there aren't usually so many spectators here, after all, the famous streetball players don't come here every day.

As a New Yorker, Larry is well aware that there is no game at Rock Park today, and the only thing that may be there is the mysterious Asian man who has been going head-to-head at Rock Park for days on end.

"Could it be...... All these people are here for that Asian man? ”

Larry was a little surprised.

In fact, he also heard about this news through other friends, and he didn't report much hope when he came here, but he didn't have anything to do at the moment, so he came to see the excitement.

But the scene in front of him was somewhat unexpected.

At this moment, there was an uproar in the crowd.

Immediately afterward, Larry saw a figure fly up from the crowd, a powerful tomahawk slammed down, and the dunked basket trembled.

"Wow——! This guy is so strong! ”

"Is he stepping on a spring under his feet? Why did you jump so high? ”

The few people next to Larry sighed.

And Larry was completely stunned.

"What is this?"

At that moment just now, Larry could see clearly that the height of this figure jumping was extremely exaggerated, and when it was the highest, his jaw was almost flat!

This kind of bounce is extremely rare even in the NBA.

More important ...... This should be heads-up, right? In a one-on-one heads-up, can there be so much space for sprints?

The complexion of the figure just now...... That seems to be the rumored Asian?

Thinking of this, Larry hurriedly squeezed in desperately, and finally squeezed to the front row, where he could see the scene in the stadium.

At this time, a strong black young man was walking down the field with his head down.

Larry knew the guy, who was a well-known streetball player in New York, and like many streetball players, he had all kinds of problems such as being too sticky, poor passing vision, easy to get emotional, and extremely bad defense, so he was not suitable for the professional game.

However, only in terms of heads-up skills, the opponent is definitely not bad, coupled with a strong body, the confrontation is excellent, even against the professional players in the league.

But in this way, it seems that the opponent has already lost the game.

Larry's eyes suddenly focused on another person on the court.

"That's right! That's him! ”

Looking at the other person on the court, or looking at the whole stadium, there are few people with the same unique skin color as him, Larry immediately understands that this guy is the Asian who is rumored to be invincible in Rock Park these days!

"It's so high......"

Just at the first glance, Larry couldn't help but sigh.

The Asian in front of him is in his 2-metre-height, and there are very few players over 2 metres tall on the street courts, and most of the masters who play on the street courts are limited by their height and physical talent.

Although there is a huge gap between professional and amateur, as an experienced head coach, he knows very well that those guys at Rock Park may not be good at playing 5v5 full-court, but the level of heads-up is not bad at all, and those bells and whistles are very deceptive dribbling skills, which are difficult to deal with without a 24-second offensive time limit.

Just at the first glance, Larry couldn't help but sigh.

The height of the Asian in front of him is measured to be in his early 2 meters, and in the street court, there are very few players who are more than 2 meters tall.
