Chapter 014 The training camp begins and the trial training contract is like a little wolf floating in Liang Xiao's heart, because he knows that this contract can only be guaranteed until the end of the training camp. If Van Gundy cannot be obtained within this week and a half,
If the Knicks receive further favor, then he will still have to suffer the same fate of being sent home. Liang Xiao also knows that the Knicks have developed a tough style of play and strong defense under Van Gundy's training. If he uses his current physical fitness and defense
His ability cannot go further. Even if he can appear on the Knicks' 15** list in the future, he will probably be just a water cooler. This is not what Liang Xiao wants. Body and defense are the next goals.
In the NBA, those who follow the coach live, and those who go against the coach die.
Liang Xiao's behavior on the first day was seen by everyone as an arrogant guy. Some people liked it and some couldn't stand it. In Liang Xiao's opinion, people should behave according to their nature and always worry about this and that. It is very likely that he is timid.
.If you face a character like Kesi and don't show your own momentum, you will lose it in the end. Kesi's departure also proves this. Bloodiness also applies to the NBA. Players without fighting spirit can be sure of it here.
It can't go far.
After the trial training contract was signed, Liang Xiao was arranged to stay in the Knicks' player apartment. For three days, he continued to strengthen his strength and defensive training every day. He trained with the team during the day and was equally targeted at the talent training ground at night.
to be strengthened.
Liang Xiao originally planned to only strengthen his natural skills of being able to take advantage of others, being as fast as the wind, taking advantage of others, and finding every opportunity to exploit, but he did not expect to meet Van Gundy when he came to the Knicks. He had no choice but to add his defensive skills to e-.
At the same time, strengthen the strength and defend the ball holder and the open space. Although the effect is not obvious, it requires the accumulation of time. The talent points that can be obtained in three days are only more than 40 points, which is already the limit of Liang Xiao.
.
The training camp officially started. Liang Xiao prepared everything and came to the team training hall. At this time, no players arrived at the training hall. Liang Xiao was used to coming so early alone, without those black bodies and old players.
Skills, only talent system must rely on one's own continuous efforts to get rewards. The early bird catches more bugs. This sentence can't be more bad, and now it is more appropriate to put it on Liang Xiao. Warm up alone
After that, shooting training began, and superb skills must be continuously honed every day.
"Ninety-eight, ninety-nine" Liang Xiao made a hundred free throws at the free throw line and was working hard to send the balls out one by one at the corner three-point line. Liang Xiao knew that the three-pointer from the corner was often a big mistake.
A sharp weapon can not only increase one's offensive methods, but also provide corner support, allowing people in high and low positions to have more opportunities, and at the same time giving oneself more opportunities.
Just as he was about to shoot his hundredth corner three-pointer, he heard someone calling his name from behind.
"Liang, you've come so early in the past two days." He turned around and saw the square-faced black man carrying a bag, showing an approving smile.
"Oh, Alan, you came quite early. I am single now, so I came here when I have nothing to do." Alan Houston, the first brother of the team, said.
"Liang, wait while I change clothes, and we'll come together."
The basketball was "playing" and wiping the net bag. Alan Houston kept taking shots from the three-point line. The NBA's "Central Shooting King" was a textbook shot. His accurate hits were really hard to boast. Last season, he shot 90.9% of them.
The free throw shooting percentage ranks second in the league. Liang Xiao looked at these precise shots and couldn't help but let Alan know. Alan Houston is a good gentleman. Seeing Liang Xiao being so serious, he did not forget to support the younger generations. The two
People kept putting basketballs into the box one after another. For more than an hour, players began to arrive one after another.
Van Gundy announced the team's roster during training camp after all players arrived, and these rosters will also extend into the preseason. Alan Houston, Antonio McDyess, Latrell Sprewell, Shanton-
Anderson, Charlie Ward, Howard Eisley, Clarence Witherspoon, Kurt Thomas, Travis Knight, Osela Harrington, Michael Doleak,
Frank Williams, Mark Pope, Lee Nylon, Ravel Persidu, plus Liang Xiao, there will definitely be two more people left on the 16-man roster, because the Knicks still have one person
Injuries. As a defender, Liang Xiao’s first priority is Ravel Persidu and Frank Williams, who came to the Knicks as McDyess’ replacement. At power forward and center
One person will be moved at that position, most likely Mark Pope.
"The new season is about to start. We all the veteran players of the Knicks should be aware of the current situation. What we have to do now is to strengthen our physical reserves. What we don't want to see is that we can't keep up with the rhythm in the middle of the season. Although we are facing many challenges
Problem, but our goal is still to enter the playoffs." Facing the Knicks' average veterans, Van Gundy had no better strategy in mind. McDyess, who came from the Nuggets on draft day, supplemented the position after Camby left.
It is a strong point of the team, but it still cannot solve the disadvantage of the team being too old. Van Gundy hopes to find some new players to supplement the bench and form an alternation to alleviate the shortcomings.
On the first day of training camp, Van Gundy stated the team's shortcomings and set season goals. He wanted all players to understand their own problems, and at the same time not to discourage everyone. Teams that have been in the playoffs for many years cannot be discouraged because of these.
Let's let everyone fall into disgrace here.
Simple arrangement, let the team be divided into two groups for a competition. Group A Osella Harrington, Kurt Thomas, Sprewell, Liang Xiao, Howard Eisley. Group B Clarence-
Witherspoon, McDyess, Shanton Anderson, Alan Houston, and Charlie Ward. In this grouping, the strength of Group A is weaker than that of Group B. "Chinese Shooting King" Alan Houston and the Texas Three
McDyess, one of the top power forwards in the league, can be ranked among the best in the league. In Group A, only "Madman" Sprewell can stir up trouble in the league. This man once used a chokehold to beat the head coach of the Warriors.
A guy who has been around for a long time, he is a good player in fast breaks, breakthroughs, and three-pointers. He was kicked out by the Warriors due to the chokehold incident and came to the Knicks to work for Ewing. Osei is also one of the three heroes of Texas.
La Harrington is not as famous as McDyess, but fortunately there is "Crazy Eyes" Kurt Thomas, a defender who is also famous for being dirty.
In the center circle, Osela Harrington moved the ball into the backcourt. Liang Xiao took the ball and handed it to the Knicks' first point guard, Howard Eisley. Eisley's competitor, Charlie Ward, followed closely.
Follow him and keep swimming forward.
