Chapter 455: Rookie, Do You Know the Rules?
"Wang Feng, the team now hopes to sign a ten-day short-term contract with you first, and through ten days to further examine whether your level can really adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game."
Van Gundy looked at Wang Feng in front of him, who made him "love and hate", and said.
Wang Feng took the ten-day short-term contract handed over by the other party and glanced at it briefly.
Ten days, a thousand dollars.
If it is changed to the future, this contract is like a flower child.
After all, the minimum for the next 10-day short-term contract is about $50,000.
But this kind of thing can't be compared.
The NBA's salary cap in 2022 is $123.6 million, compared to less than $16 million in 1995.
$1,000 in 95 years is not a small amount of reasoning, and you can get $1,000 in ten days, which many people don't even dare to dream of.
Even Wang Xu's fast-food restaurant can't earn $1,000 in ten days.
What's more, this is just an excess, and during the 10-day inspection period, Wang Feng can conquer the entire Knicks team with his performance and get a guaranteed contract without any suspense.
Therefore, Wang Feng did not hesitate, and simply signed his name on it.
"Wang, congratulations on becoming a member of the Knicks, although only temporarily, I have confidence in you." Larry congratulated Wang Feng with a smile on the side.
"Thank you."
Wang Feng thanked him sincerely.
Although Wang Feng has absolute confidence in his own strength, no matter what, the Knicks' scout Larry is definitely his Bole, and without Larry, Wang Feng doesn't know how long he will continue to play in Rock Park to get the chance to enter the NBA.
……
A day later, the dusty Knicks returned to New York.
On this road trip, the Knicks are generally very satisfied.
Since losing to the Bulls at Christmas, the Knicks have won all three games, including yesterday's trip to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
As a result, the Knicks won three in a row, and many people criticized the team and head coach Pat for losing the Christmas game. Riley's media voice was a little quieter.
This makes Pat. Riley has been in a much better mood lately.
Sitting in his office, sipping the hand-ground coffee that his assistant had just brewed.
Riley picked up a newspaper.
But before he could take a closer look at what the local New York sports media was saying about the Knicks' three-game winning streak, Van Gundy arrived.
"Jeff."
Riley put down the newspaper and looked at his right-hand man with a smile.
"Pat, that Huaguo player Wang Feng has signed a ten-day short-term contract." Van Gundy said to Riley: "I think he's really good and has value to stay. ”
As he spoke, he handed the detailed report of Wang Feng's trial to Riley.
"Oh." Riley raised an eyebrow slightly.
Van Gundy didn't mention it, he almost forgot about it.
To be honest, although Van Gundy said it on the phone, Riley didn't really believe it.
As a famous legendary coach in the league, God Operator Pat. Riley has seen too many storms and waves, but after so many years in the league, he has never seen a single yellow-skinned player.
Like the vast majority of people in this era, when it comes to Asia, he also thinks that it is a basketball desert, lacking a scientific youth training system, no formal competitions, and talent alone can give birth to outstanding basketball players? It's kind of a bit of a.
Moreover, the trial is only a reference standard for the comprehensive quality of the players, and the test results do not directly represent the opponent's performance in the official competition.
Thinking like this in his heart, Riley opened Wang Feng's trial report.
Then, his expression froze.
The astonishing data made Riley seriously wonder if the trial report was written incorrectly.
But when it comes to Van Gundy's ability to work, Riley doesn't question it.
So, this tryout report is true.
However, Riley soon saw a report on Wang's age.
"This Wang Feng is 30 years old?"
Riley frowned.
At this age, anyone who looks at it will feel too big.
"Well, he's a little older, but his technical style has been formed, and if you adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game a little bit, you can become a great instant fighter, and there is no problem."
"That depends on the actual situation."
Riley put the tryout report aside. "Where is he now?"
"Practice in the training ground." Van Gundy said.
……
Inside the training ground.
Wang Feng is practicing self-throwing and self-picking in a field.
And not far from him, several Knicks players looked at Wang Feng with surprise in their eyes.
"What does that guy do?"
"I don't know, I don't know, it's probably not someone from the team."
"It's the first time I've seen an Asian face in a stadium, is he a relative of the team owner or management, coming to experience the daily training of a professional basketball team?"
Some of the team members were just whispering in the distance, but some had already taken the initiative to walk up.
"Hey, boy, what are you here for?"
Wang Feng's shooting action paused, and he turned his head to look.
In front of him was a burly black and hard man.
Wang Feng knows him, this is the representative of the league's blue-collar interior line in the 90s, and can be compared to the members of the Pistons Bad Boy Army. Oakley.
To be reasonable, Wang Feng doesn't have a good impression of Oakley, the other party is not a star himself, he doesn't have an idol halo, and Wang Feng once saw what Da Yao said in an interview after confronting Oakley when he was a rookie.
"He's not fighting you, he's going to fight you."
Wang Feng is a hardcore Yao Mi, so he is not interested in Oakley, whose style of play is completely to bring a ball with him when he hits people.
And just now, Oakley spoke to him in a tone that was not friendly at all.
Oakley certainly has arrogant capital, and looking at the entire Knicks, except for the star Ewing Gorilla, he can basically be regarded as the number two person in the team.
Although on the court, Oakley mainly has an interior blue-collar style, but because of the fierce style of play, most of the young players in the Knicks are afraid of him, but Ewing is more introverted and gentle, and it is better to get along with.
It's just that in the 90s, the most admired style was the iron-blooded tough guy, so Oakley was also the head coach Pat Brown. One of Riley's favourite players is not only a solid player in the team, but also a half-dressing room boss.
However, Wang Feng doesn't like you.
Your name is Oakley, you kid is quite rampant, huh? You think someone has a good brain...... No, you think you've been the locker room boss?
Wang Feng has also seen strong winds and waves, and in the four years of the Cavaliers, he has always been the boss of the team and the one who spoke in the locker room.
Although he is more handsome and not as fierce as Oakley, he is no less intimidating.
In other words, Oakley's deterrence is more reflected in his appearance and fierce style of play on the court, while Wang Feng is more reflected in his super ability on the court.
You can disagree with me, it's okay, let's bump into each other on the field.
When he first arrived at the Lakers, in order to stand up, Wang Feng had a heads-up bullfight with Ingram, who was still a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers.
Could it be that the scene of that year is going to be staged again?
Looking at Oakley, Wang Feng's eyes were calm, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"My name is Wang Feng, I signed a contract with the team two days ago, and now I am your teammate...... At least for the time being. ”
"Our teammates?"
Wang Feng's words made all the players who heard it stunned.
Although Wang Feng's physique meets the NBA playing standards, his Asian face is really ......
"I see, the new guy."
Oakley smiled when he was surprised. "Rookie, it seems that you don't know the rules very well, you don't take the initiative to say hello to our seniors when you first arrive, and I will tell you more about the rules that rookies should know."
Wang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. "Rookie? I'm sorry, I'm 30 years old, not much younger than you, so you'd better call someone a rookie. ”
The words of the gun and the stick made the others around immediately hear the strong smell of gunpowder.
Oakley, of course, heard it, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
This guy's reputation as a villain on the court is by no means in vain, even just by looking at his fierce expression, you can feel a pressure, which is completely incomparable to the likes of Green in the future!
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, it's still a thorn in the head, it's interesting."
Oakley sneered and looked at Wang Feng, the authority within the team was provoked by a newcomer, he couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
But just as Oakley opened his mouth to say something, a teammate on the side suddenly said.
"The head coach is here!"
Pat. Leley strode into the gym, followed by Jeff. Several assistant coaches, including Van Gundy.
"Boy, count yourself lucky."
Seeing this, Oakley did not continue to entangle with Wang Feng, he was notorious, but the head coach Pat . Riley is a more ruthless man than he is, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a tyrant on the court.
Even Oakley didn't want to touch Riley's mold.
"I will return this sentence to you as it is."
Wang Feng looked at Oakley's back, and had already decided in his heart who he wanted to step on.
As a full-level tuba parachuted into the '90s, Wang Feng's mentality is completely different from when he first crossed over to the '14 Warriors.
Dynasty Terminator!
As the name suggests, he appeared here with the purpose of ending the strong team of the league dynasty, let alone Oakley, even if Jordan himself stood in front of him just now, he would not hesitate to directly challenge and blow up the other party.
As for the stepping stones just mentioned...... Wang Feng finally came to this time and space by parachuting, no matter for any team in the league, it is a sudden variable.
Just like the current Knicks, who have a complete starting five, Wang Feng wants to get on the top as soon as possible and win the starting position, so he must squeeze down one of the five starters.
Oakley is the most suitable candidate for Wang Feng's view.
Regardless of how famous this guy is on the court, in the final analysis, he is a blue-collar player, except for grabbing rebounds, staring at the opponent's strongest offensive point and fighting, this guy has no particularly outstanding advantages.
The so-called excellent defense is just because he has good strength, and then his movements are relatively dark, and his defensive deterrence under the basket is relatively strong, and Oakley's lateral movement speed is very slow, which is slightly faster than those heavy centers, so the ability to supplement and assist the defense is not outstanding, and it is easy to be held back by blocking and running without the ball.
As for the offensive end, Oakley is seriously lacking in scoring means, averaging only 9.7 points per game in his entire career.
Wang Feng had already investigated the team's situation before coming to the Knicks, and Oakley has been playing the starting small forward position this season, and has done interior blue-collar work at the small forward position.
2.08m big forward Charles. Smith is averaging just 4.3 rebounds per game this season, while Oakley at small forward is averaging nine rebounds per game.
Local New York fans also seem to have a lot of complaints about this, but the Knicks, or head coach Pat . Riley, however, seems to feel that there is nothing wrong with such a lineup.
No...... To be exact, Riley can't help it even if he understands this truth, because the team is really short of people in the small forward position.
"Is this one of the reasons the system will parachute me directly into New York?"
Because after Wang Feng came here, after carefully investigating all 30 teams in the league, he felt that the most suitable for him this year was the Knicks.
Because the overall strength of the Knicks themselves is not weak, they were the finals team last season, and this season can also enter the second round according to the original historical process.
With Wang Feng, a 99-year-old boss, joining, and Ewing and a cadre who should have a total rating of above 92 in this period, he is fully capable of defeating O'Neal's Magic in the East, and defeating the Rockets led by Olajuwon in the finals to lift the championship trophy.
Of course, since this season itself is not a season for Jordan's Bulls, the ownership of this championship does not affect the decision of the dynastic terminator.
But with a big team like the New York Knicks and leading the team to win the championship, Wang Feng can directly gain a lot of exposure, thus saving a lot of time to prove his strength.
The Knicks are just a temporary place for Wang Feng, and he is not ready to stay here, because it is rare to have a chance to challenge Jordan, and he does not want to partner with Ewing, a famous four center, the league's top 100 or even 50 superstars, to defeat Jordan.
He prefers to join a team that is generally weak overall and can make the most of his strengths.
How so...... This can be regarded as the pride of Wang Feng, who is now 99 full value and blessed with more than a dozen high-level badges.
In the 94-95 season, Wang Feng's purpose is to make a name for himself in this league, so that the whole league and even the world know his name Wang Feng!
