After calming down the other players of the Knicks, Han Ning put his mind at ease and continued to look for players to complement the Knicks' lineup.

At the moment, there are actually only nine players on the Knicks' roster.

I can't even make up a big list of 12 people.

Last season, the Knicks had a small number of players.

In many cases, in order to make up the squad, a few players will be brought in from the development league on an ad hoc basis to make up the numbers.

It's just that these players basically don't have the opportunity to play.

In this regard, Han Ning was also a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Luckily last season, the Knicks didn't suffer much of a wave of injuries.

Not this season.

At least twelve players need to be filled.

That is, three more players have to be added.

Two players can sign rookie players from the draft.

A first-round pick traded from the Lakers.

and the Knicks' own second-round pick.

The remaining player, Han Ning intends to look for from the free agent list.

This year's free agent roster is really full of good players.

Take Rashid Wallace, for example.

But there are no good interior players on the draft roster.

Or rather, there are good interior players.

But with the signing in the hands of the Knicks, it can't be signed at all!

Therefore, he can only look for interior players from the free agent roster to strengthen.

But sadly, a player like Rasheed Wallace won't come to the Knicks to play off the bench.

Han Ning had no choice but to set his sights on those players who were not so good.

This also means that it may be difficult for the Knicks to form a new lineup of the big four inside.

intensity, definitely a little bit lower than last season's intensity.

There's no way around it.

I flipped through the information of free agents.

Han Ning's expression became heavier and heavier.

The reason why the Knicks were able to play so well and win a championship last season.

The four King Kongs of the inner line are indispensable.

If you can.

Naturally, he also wants to keep the team on that edge.

It has an absolute advantage in the inner line.

However, at the end of this center era.

It's so hard to find good interior players!

Suddenly, Han Ning's eyes lit up.

A player's profile was in front of him.

Vlad Divac!

This player is a perfect fit for the current Knicks!

First, Vlad Divac made the All-Star team in 2001.

The strength is unquestionable.

Especially his passing ability, which is outstanding!

At this point, he can even become Da Yao's teacher!

Only six players in NBA history have achieved or exceeded 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocks at the same time.

Divac is one of them, along with Karim Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Hakiem Olajuwon.

Of course, Da Yao's name may be added in the future.

But now, Vlad Divac is still a very good player.

Although old.

However, he can still use his rich experience to ensure defensive intensity on the inside.

On the offensive side, he can use his passing ability to help the team sort out the attack.

As a result, even if Vlad Divac is paired with Mutombo, the Knicks' interior firepower will drop a lot.

But in terms of defensive intensity, it has increased.

In addition, the Knicks' bench lineup can use Vlad Divac's passing skills to play more tactical play to improve offensive firepower.

Finally, he can also teach Da Yao some experience in dealing with high positions.

No matter how you look at it, it's extraordinarily appropriate!

It's a big deal, the Knicks' bench lineup is fighting defense with other teams!

He didn't believe it yet.

Vlad Divac and Mutombo, can they fight defense but can't fight the substitute lineup of other teams?!

If you don't die, you're done!

Although Vlad Divac was originally in the course of history, he would retire due to injury in the 2004-2005 season.

But now, he wasn't hurt.

Everything could have been avoided.

As long as he doesn't get injured, it's definitely not a problem for Vlad Divac to play for another two or three years.

Last season, he averaged 9.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game for the Kings.

The only trouble is that Vlad Divac still played in the starting lineup for the Kings last season.

Coming to the Knicks this season, will they be willing to play on the bench.

But in Han Ning's opinion, this trouble is not much of a problem.

Pulling out his mobile phone, the trustee asked for Vlad Divac's number and dialed it.

As the head coach of the Knicks, Han Ning, who has a group of stars in the league who call him brothers, is still very simple to find a mobile phone number for Vlad Divac.

As soon as the phone was connected, Han Ning said, "Vlad, I'm Han Ning, the head coach of the Knicks. ”

Vlad Divac couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Han Ning's words.

Then he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Hello Coach Han Ning." ”

Han Ning said straight to the point: "I won't go around the bend with you, Vlad." Would you like to come to the Knicks?! ”

Vlad Divac frowned slightly when he heard this.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Coach Han Ning, as far as I know, the Knicks already have a lot of excellent interior players. ”

"If I go to the Knicks, I can only play off the bench, right?!"

After hearing this, Han Ning smiled.

Then he whispered: "Vlad, you also know your age, you can't compete with Da Yao and Kurt Thomas on the Knicks." ”

"After all, they're younger than you."

"I'll tell you the truth, I want you to come to the Knicks and play as a bench."

"It's like Mutombo."

The more Vlad Divac listened, the more his brow furrowed.

Although he had to admit that what Han Ning said was right.

I also have to admit that I am already old.

But he really didn't want to admit defeat!

If he could, he really wanted to continue playing in the starting lineup.

However, Han Ning's next sentence completely shattered all the psychological defenses in his heart.

"Vlad, come to the Knicks! With you, we can definitely defend the championship! ”

Champion!

Vlad Divac hasn't won the championship yet!

As long as you can win the championship.

What's the matter with him as a starting substitute?!

You just want me to watch the water dispenser!

Vlad Divac didn't think about it, and just responded.

Go to TM's starting lineup!

Lao Tzu wants to win the championship!
