"Is that him?"

Lai looked at Wang Feng with a scrutinizing gaze.

Judging from the appearance, it is quite passable, at least it looks quite strong.

But basketball isn't something you can play well just by having a body.

Riley didn't have any verbal communication with Wang Feng, or rather, Wang Feng was not qualified.

The league may produce a large number of players on short-term contracts every day, but more than 99% of them will leave the team quietly after 10 days, and very few will be able to stay.

As a head coach, Riley has a lot of work to do, and he will not devote too much time and experience to Wang Feng at all.

Including now that he came to the training hall to see Wang Feng, it was only incidental.

"Young Pat. Riley is very imposing......"

While Riley looked at Wang Feng, Wang Feng also looked at Riley and thought silently in his heart.

The Riley he had seen was already the general manager of the team with the Heat, and he was in his seventies at the time, and he was old, although he was still the cold-blooded and ruthless old fox, who could ruthlessly force Wade away for the team for many years, but at least he didn't look like he was as sharp as he was when he was young.

Riley, who was in 1994-95, was just 50 years old and in the prime of his career as a head coach.

Just for Pat. Riley Wang Feng also didn't catch a cold.

As a manager, Riley is too strong.

Unfortunately, Wang Feng is also a player with a strong personality, at least in his opinion, he and Riley may not be particularly good.

I don't know if Riley will choose to leave the team to coach the Miami Heat after coaching this season, as he did in the original history.

Jeff who replaced Riley. Although Van Gundy is a little worse than Riley in terms of coaching level, he is also one of the league's famous coaches, and more importantly, Van Gundy's temper is really much better than Riley.

……

The team's daily training began in earnest as Riley arrived at the training gym.

The Knicks' players are all in place, including the team boss, the famous gorilla Patrick. Including Ewing, there are 14 people in total.

If Wang Feng is counted, it is 15 people.

Under the arrangement of the assistant coach, the players are divided into several groups to carry out daily training in different project links.

There are physical training for switchback running, shooting training, and training for blocking, dismantling, covering, passing and cutting on the court.

Wang Feng, a newcomer, was assigned to the group of blocking and dismantling cover training, and he still played the role of being responsible for defense and being blocked and dismantled.

The team's main point guard, John Brown. Starks stood outside the three-point line with the ball, looking at the strange guy in front of him, Wang Feng's yellow skin color is really a bit eye-catching on the training court, Starks, who has had a career of at least 6 years, has never seen an Asian face in the NBA.

Inside, 2.08m power forward Charles. Smith pulls in and provides a pick-and-roll cover for Starks.

Starks hit the ground and changed hands, going down the basket in the direction of Smith's pick-and-roll screen.

"This guy didn't seem to have a good conversation with Charles [Oakley] just now, but whatever, he's going to be out of the team in a few days anyway."

With that in mind, Starks prepared to end the offense with a throw.

But in the next second, his expression was slightly stunned.

Because a figure had already stood in front of him, it was the Asian player.

Starks: "??? ”

The throwing action had been formed, and it was too late for him to take back the basketball, so the basketball came out of his hand, and then the shot was hugged by Wang Feng.

"What's going on?"

The assistant coach on the side was stunned, and then couldn't help but look at Charles, who was blocking the dismantling. Smith. "Be serious, the head coach is watching, can't you even block and dismantle?"

Smith looked innocent.

I blocked it, I think I blocked it pretty well.

But Wang Feng's speed of bypassing the block and dismantling just now was really fast, and whoever reacted immediately was that the quality of the block and dismantling was not good enough, so he let him bypass it so easily.

Do it all over again, this time Charles. Smith is very serious when he blocks and dismantles.

Not to mention him, the speed of Starks' breakthrough also subconsciously accelerated by two points.

However......

Looking at Wang Feng, who appeared in front of him at the right time and broke through the road strength, Starks was a little confused.

"What the hell is this?"

"Good nimble footsteps?"

"There's something about this kid!"

This time, the assistant coach on the sidelines and the rest of the team saw it clearly.

Smith's blocking and dismantling has no problems, it is definitely qualified, and Starks' speed is also very fast, the problem is Wang Feng's body, his movement around the blocking and dismantling is too fast, and he is neat and neat without a little mud and water, which allows him to recover the defensive position before Starks breaks through the basket.

This is a good seedling who is very good at defensive blocking!

Of course, they didn't know about the Pick-and-Roll Dodge badge, and even at this time, NBA2K development was still in the books.

The official first NBA2K series of games was officially released in November 1999, five years away.

And the published 2K is no different from a mosaic game, and the experience of playing is definitely not good, and it is firmly pressed by EA's NBAlive.

Wang Feng's pick-and-roll dodge badge is the top purple Hall of Fame level, which makes Wang Feng have amazing awareness and agility around the pick-and-roll when facing defensive pick-and-rolls.

Not to mention that Charles is not very qualified as an interior player, weighing only 104 kilograms. Smith, even some of the larger heavy centers will find it difficult to stop Wang Feng effectively.

If you want Wang Feng, who holds the badge of the pick-and-roll dodge, under the basket, at least he has to cover with a double block.

"It's a good angle, you're good defensively."

Although the assistant coach did not know this, Wang Feng's performance successfully won his praise.

"Hey, what are you doing? Can't you understand the blocking? ”

Oakley, who saw this scene not far away, was a little upset.

Oakley and Smith are both called Charles, but their personalities and playing styles are completely different, Oakley is a little shorter than Smith, but his ability to fight is far better than Smith, as a blue-collar player, blocking and covering is also his forte.

As he spoke, Oakley walked over and pushed Smith away.

"I'm coming!"

Charles. Smith's status on the team is actually not low, as a rookie with the third pick in the first round in '88, Smith was also cultivated as a core when he was with the Clippers.

In the 89-90 and 90-91 seasons, Smith can contribute an average of 20+8 data per game, and even now, he is the third scorer on the Knicks, second only to Ewing and Starks in points per game.

However, even he didn't want to provoke the evil man Oakley, and besides, he could see that Oakley was targeting Wang Feng and not him, so he stepped aside without saying anything.

"Found it so soon?"

Wang Feng looked at Oakley and thought secretly in his heart. "It's good to stay where you are and wait for others to step on the stepping stones, and you have to jump twice......"

Starks glanced at the assistant coach.

They all knew Oakley's thoughts, and in his opinion, Oakley was a bit excessive.

Although Wang Feng looks a little arrogant, but when people first arrive, you provoke others as soon as you come up, and any player who is a little angry will not be outdone and go back.

It's just that the assistant coach didn't notice this, he wasn't on the court before, and he didn't see the conflict between Wang Feng and Oakley, and at this time he thought that Oakley was dissatisfied with Smith's blocking and covering, and wanted to do some demonstration.

So he nodded and said to a few people on the field, "Do it again." ”

A couple of guys got back into position, with Starks holding the ball from the outside and Oakley pulling out from the inside to cover for him.

Coming to Wang Feng's face, Oakley blocked his hands in front of him, and the muscles of his arms were all tensed, and at first glance, he was riveting enough strength, and he didn't know if he would secretly exert force when the two collided.

The excuse of then blocking and dismantling, hitting the opposing defender with the black hand, was a must for the blue-collar interior line in the 90s.

Because the NBA rules of the 90s are very different from the future, the strength of the blowing penalty is different, and the concept of rules for defensive fouls, violation of cylinders, etc., has also changed slightly.

One of the more typical of this is the HandCheck rule.

To put it simply, when facing a player with the ball, the defender can put his hand on the offensive player.

I believe that many children's shoes who play basketball have more or less encountered some defenses when they love to put their hands up, and give you a dirty ratio of locking your throat when you break through with the ball, such a defense is a proper defensive foul now, and once blows once.

Although the league in the 90s has not yet reached the exaggeration of locking the throat and not blowing fouls at all, the existence of this rule makes the interior completely like a meat grinder, and outside players who have no ability don't even want to kill the interior to make damage.

That's why guards in this era prefer to finish with long twos from mid-to-long distance.

Many fans in the future always think that the shooting rate of the previous stars is so bad, the shooting rate of more than 40% is very high, and the defenders who will often hit more than 50% in the future cannot be compared.

HandCheck is just a microcosm of iron-blooded defense in this era, and similar ruthless defense abounds, just like the current Oakley, Wang Feng can see the opponent's intentions at a glance.

This guy wants to secretly exert force at the moment when the block is formed, and use the power to knock himself to the ground.

Wang Feng has even thought of the other party's follow-up lines.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA!"

But...... Wang Feng would not give him this opportunity.

At the moment when the two were about to make contact, Wang Feng suddenly disguised himself, almost rubbing Oakley's past.

Oakley, who was full of strength, was flashed, his feet were unstable, and he couldn't help but staggered forward.

At the same time, Wang Feng had already dodged Oakley's block and stopped in front of Starx again.

“……”

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

Wang Feng's ability to prevent blocking and dismantling is a bit weird.

In the Knicks, the most frequent and high-quality blocking and dismantling is Oakley.

Although Ewing has a bigger physique than Oakley, as the core of the team's interior attack, he doesn't block and cover his teammates very often.

Wang Feng can easily bypass Oakley's blocking, and few people in the league can do this ability.

"What...... What? ”

Oakley looked back at Wang Feng in astonishment, a pair of bull's eyes glaring at the boss.

He hadn't reacted yet, how did Wang Feng bypass him just now, this kid was too slippery, right? The action is so fast!

"One more time!"

Oakley's voice was a little louder, and the players who were training in several other areas around him turned their eyes over.

"Whatever, as long as you want, I'll accompany you at any time." Wang Feng said lightly.

The assistant coach frowned, even if he was sluggish, he realized that something was wrong.

He was about to stop with a voice, but before he could say anything, a hand reached out from one side and interrupted him.

The assistant coach turned his head to look at the head coach Pat with an interested expression on his face. Riley.

The trio returned to position, and Oakley stepped forward again to block the pick-and-roll.

This time, Oakley, who already had a fire, was not polite at all, and used all the dirty work on the field, not only did he take advantage of the situation to press on Wang Feng, but one leg was blocked on Wang Feng's inevitable path, if Wang Feng was too obsessed with the speed and efficiency of blocking and dismantling, he would inevitably trip directly.

These actions can be whistled for covering fouls even in the NBA, but not all fouls can be whistled in the NBA, let alone in daily training.

"Hey, rookie, it's up to you what to do this time!"

Oakley sneered inwardly.

In his expectation, as long as the two had physical contact, with his strong strength, Wang Feng would definitely be unilaterally suppressed.

However, thinking like this in his heart, Oakley suddenly felt a huge force rushing towards him, and his lower plate was unstable, so he subconsciously adjusted his footsteps and stood still.

Oakley's idea is correct, facing players who are good at blocking and pick-and-roll, using his body strength to put pressure on the opponent can entangle the opponent very well, so that he can't immediately bypass the pick-and-roll screen.

But the question is, is Wang Feng's strength weak? Not weak at all!

Limited by weight, Wang Feng's strength can only be strengthened to 88, but the strength of 88 is already a first-line level in the alliance.

Oakley, as an interior blue-collar worker, is of course more powerful than Wang Feng, and Oakley, who was at his peak when he was a Bull, should have a strength of more than 95, which is why he can gain a foothold on the inside line with a height of only 2.03 meters.

But even so, Oakley's strength cannot completely crush Wang Feng, not to mention that he still opened his legs to block Wang Feng's blocking and dismantling route, and the posture of not being able to exert his strength, coupled with Wang Feng's instantaneous explosive power of speed and bounce blessing, it is natural for Wang Feng to win in the competition of strength.

This scene was watched by everyone who paid attention to the battle between the two on the field.

Pat. Riley's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The power of this kid ......"
