Chapter 272: Training camp starts, new players are in place
You must know that he was just 30 years old at the time, which was the peak moment of a basketball player\'s mobilization, but he left the basketball world, which made Lian Dao feel the most regrettable.
In this life, since he has the ability to change all this, Lian Dao will do his best to change it.
…
Lian Dao and the little senior sister flew directly to New York by plane.
The team officially opened the team training camp on October 2. Although Lian Dao has no time to set up a private training camp this season, he still has half a month to conduct a thorough closed training.
After returning to New York, Lian Dao did not start training immediately. He came to Tianyi Hall to rest with his master for three days. Although he played for the Knicks, he did not visit his master very often throughout the year. Apart from visiting his master this time, There is also a deep massage and medicinal bath.
He joined the national team at the end of the off-season. He basically didn\'t have a good rest. Lian Dao could only relieve season fatigue through massage and medicinal baths, which also prevented hidden injuries to his body.
The massage combined with the medicated bath also made Lian Dao\'s body relax like never before. He seemed to feel that he was resurrected with full blood again.
Suddenly, a mechanical sound rang out in his mind, startling Lian Dao.
It turned out that the system that was in an upgraded state after the end of the regular season was "resurrected!"
"The system has been upgraded, and the progress of the host\'s playoffs last season has been detected, and a compensation reward package will be issued!"
With the mechanical sound in his mind, Lian Dao finally confirmed that the system that had been silent for 4 months was finally revived.
Lian Dao hurriedly entered the system and checked it. After 4 months of upgrading, the system should have changed a lot.
Unfortunately, Lian Dao was disappointed.
In this upgrade, there is basically no change. The system\'s permanent lock of NBA player talent after 2012 has become a permanent lock of NBA player talent after 2015, which is equivalent to opening up the talent of NBA players for three years.
But what help he can bring to Lian Dao at present, he still doesn\'t know.
At the same time, there is a new function: Real Eye (can be used once a day, you can choose an NBA player to check his real strength!)!
This function has attracted Lian Dao, so that he can understand the real strength of the opponent\'s core players before the game!
This is very good!
At the same time, Lian Dao also opened the compensation reward package given by the system.
"Open the gift bag!"
"The gift bag has been opened, and I have obtained a unique and precious item: Injury Repair Liquid. Note: It can only be used by the host himself, and the current Injury Repair Liquid is out of print. Depending on the severity of the host\'s injury, the repair time will also change accordingly. 1 One day—two years, as long as the host is not dead, the injury repair fluid can perfectly repair it!"
"Damn it!" Lian Dao was shocked when he saw this thing that was prescribed. This is not an injury repair solution, it\'s an extra life.
No wonder the system defines it as a "unique precious item", this thing is really buggy.
Lian Dao originally wanted to complain about this upgrade, but when he saw this compensation package, Lian Dao could only say: Oh my god, it smells so good!
This is probably the most precious reward Lian Dao has ever received from the system!
…
This year, the Knicks signed Stoudemire from the Suns and Tony Allen from the free market. They also selected DeMarcus Cousins in the draft. At the same time, Downey passed This year\'s 25th overall pick in the first round traded Danny Green from the Cavaliers.
However, there will definitely be people who come and go. In addition to Chris Duhon signing with the Magic, Darko Milicic will not have many opportunities to play in the Knicks next season, so he signed to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Larry Hughes did not agree to the basic salary offer given by the Knicks. In the end, Larry Hughes chose to test the free market.
At the same time, the Knicks also bought out their biggest junk contract: Eddie Curry. The Knicks finally sent away the most expensive mascot on the bench, bought out Eddie Curry, and officially announced that the traces of management belonging to Isaiah Thomas were completely removed.
The current Knicks roster is:
Point guards: Jrue Holiday, Tony Douglas.
Shooting guards: Tony Allen, Wilson Chandler, Danny Green.
Small forwards: Lian Dao, Gallinari, Jason Kapono.
Power forwards: Paul Millsap, David Lee.
Centers: Stoudemire, DeMarcus Cousins.
He is still as young as ever, but if the Knicks want to go more safely, they still need to sign a veteran. The contribution of a veteran\'s experience and experience to the team is self-evident. Last year, Lian Dao did not Take less from Larry Hughes.
At the same time, Lian Dao also has a promising player, the veteran Rasheed Wallace who played against the Celtics last season.
From the performance of Rasheed Wallace last season, it is not difficult to see that this 35-year-old veteran still has fuel in the tank. Look at Cousins.
If Rasheed Wallace, the champion center, is willing to teach Cousins, I believe it will definitely improve Cousins\' progress a lot.
Now, the main trouble is that Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement on June 25 this year, although Lian Dao knew that in 2012, Rasheed Wallace announced his comeback again, and he was still joining the Knicks Si, but Lian Dao didn\'t know what Hua Laishi was thinking now.
But it suddenly occurred to me that Rashid Wallace chose to come back in the previous life, and one person played a big role.
It is the Knicks\' current assistant Mike Woodson, the founder of the Knicks\' defensive system.
One of the important reasons why Wallace chose to come back in 2012 was that he had a good personal relationship with Knicks coach Woodson. Woodson was serving as Larry Brown\'s assistant when Wallace won the championship with the Detroit Pistons in 2004.
With the help of Mike Woodson, I believe Wallace should not refuse to join the Knicks. After all, the Knicks are now one of the most promising teams in the league.
…
On October 2, the Knicks training camp officially opened.
Lian Dao also saw his teammates whom he hadn\'t seen for a long time.
locker room.
"Hi, sickle." Tony Allen saw Lian Dao coming in and took the initiative to greet him.
"Hi, Tony!" Lian Dao smiled at Tony Allen, then high-fived him and hugged him.
When Lian Dao recruited Tony Allen, he had a lot of conversations with him on the phone, and they were very familiar with each other in the 7 games played in the playoffs.
Here, Stoudemire also stepped forward to hug Lian Dao.
"I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to hit the championship this season!" Stoudemire stretched out his palm.
"Of course, we will let the league remember the Knicks remember our combination!" Lian Dao and Stoudemire clapped their hands.
Before this summer, Stoudemire never thought that he would cooperate with Lian Dao one day, but this also made him very happy. Not only did he sign a 5-year 100 million maximum salary contract, but more importantly, the Knicks But it is one of the favorite teams to win the championship predicted by ESPN this year.
What is this, money and honor are both correct!
Although he is still the second in charge, Lian Dao\'s potential is not comparable to that of Nash, and Lian Dao was able to lead the Knicks to the Eastern Conference Finals in his rookie season, and almost overturned the Celtics, which also made Stade Meier is willing to be the second master.
Immediately, Lian Dao also saw Danny Green and Cousins, the second pick in this summer\'s draft.
Danny Green and Lian Dao also embraced warmly.
From being opponents in the NCAA finals to being teammates today, the two can only be said to be lucky.
The two are already very familiar, and Danny Green is also a member of the Liantao training camp and the 09 star group.
Cousins looked at Lian Dao curiously.
He really didn\'t expect that this guy led the Knicks to the playoffs and set off a huge storm in the league.
"Rookie, why, have you been conquered by my performance last season!" Lian Dao said mockingly.
"En!" Lian Dao didn\'t expect Cousins to nod seriously.
Is this still the grumpy player who doesn\'t know how to deal with emotions in the scouting report?
"You are really strong, but I want to compete with you!" Cousins said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, all the old Knicks players looked at Cousins with a look of surprise and pity.
