"Are you sure this guy can teach the rookies on the team to shoot? He seems more suitable for filming commercials for those fast food restaurants, the most common fat man on the streets of America." Charles Oakley stared at Schneider Booker who was chewing potato chips in front of him.
said.
Blake Dolan did not answer Charles Oaks' words, but gave Schneider Booker, who flew directly from Princeton, a strong hug:
"Ston! We meet again!"
Schneiderbook was still the same as before. He carefully put away the snacks in his hands, then opened his hands full of crumbs and patted Black Dolan's expensive suit hard, but it looked like it no matter how he looked.
Wiping hands:
"Blake! Man! You are making us unbelievable now! The guy who kept talking about becoming a psychiatrist! Now, he has become the general manager of a team! I should have guessed it!"
The reason why Schneiderbook appeared in the Las Vegas Summer League team was that Daryl Morey's search for Blake Dolan's assistant coach in the ACB League also failed. Initially, those coaches wanted to go to the NBA.
, but when they learned that they would be working under a 28-year-old young man, they decisively refused. Without any other choice, Blake Dolan thought of the four losers on the Princeton coaching staff.
This league is always about connections. Without excellent trainers, excellent team doctors, and excellent special coaches, it means that your players’ room for growth will be reduced.
But what the Knicks lack now is connections. Even if Patrick Ewing is even a member of the "Basketball Brotherhood", most coaches and managers in the league still choose to isolate the Knicks. When there is suddenly a silver swordfish among the happy fish in the pond,
, is the current situation. Black Dolan understands this law. In psychology, this law is called the Swordfish Law.
"Ruben chose to stay at Princeton, and that guy made up his mind to become a singer! Darville Hawke and Louis Huang agreed to come here. Of course, it was related to the contract you gave. These two guys reacted after receiving your call.
Completely on the contrary, Darvill thought that he finally didn't have to wipe the damn training equipment and supervise the players to take showers all day long, and was elated. Louis Huang said that his hard days were coming. He thought that the NBA had many more injured players than the NCAA. You would
It exhausted him to death," Schneiderbook said.
"Am I asking him to show off his facial paralysis?" Black Dolan said: "Where are they?"
"Louis is going to take a leave of absence. Man, he is still a student. It's just Darvill and I. We rushed over after receiving the call. But Darvill went to the Thomas & Mack Arena first to check the hygiene there," Schneiderbook said.
, then he looked at Charles Oaks, raised his hand and said hello:
"Hi, I'm Schneider Booker, you can call me S or Stone."
Charles Oakley puffed on his cigar and said, "I like to call you Potato, I like this name."
Schneiderbook nodded: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want, as long as you promise not to hit my balls with the damn shovel! I read the newspaper from two years ago!"
"Tonight, there is the Knicks' third summer league game. I found a seat in the front row. Do you want to watch the game together?" Blake Dolan said.
"Of course, but popcorn please," Schneiderbook said.
Charles Oakley adjusted his suit and said to the two people: "Today, I will serve as the team's chief assistant coach!"
"Yeah! You are the best!" Blake Dolan laughed: "Because there are only two people on the coaching staff, you and Patrick."

Thomas & Mack Center
The surrounding stands and thirty luxury boxes were all full, and the fans in the stands cheered enthusiastically with their own bottles of beer or soda. You know, watching a basketball game in Las Vegas is not an easy thing.
First, there is no NBA team in Las Vegas, only the University of Las Vegas plays in the NCAA. Second, regardless of the record of the University of Las Vegas, the price of the tickets alone has made many people prohibitive.
Seats in the stands range from US$200 to US$720, and the price of VIP boxes is as high as US$30,000. Las Vegas people are not stupid, they will not spend hundreds of dollars to watch a terrible NCAA game.
, Therefore, the summer league held here every year has become their only basketball belief...
A game in the summer league only costs ten dollars. For ten dollars you can watch a more intense game than in the NCAA. Although there are not those big-name stars, the players who were rampant in the NCAA last season will appear. You can completely combine the summer league with
Think of it as the NCAA All-Star Game.
Tonight's game is the New York Knicks against the Detroit Pistons. People's attention is on No. 2 pick Darko Milicic and No. 6 pick Kirk Hinrich, because the two teams have played in their previous two games.
They were all hooked.
Darko Milicic averaged 23 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in the first two summer league games. This data is not far behind that of LeBron James, who is participating in another summer league in Long Beach, California.
let.
The sixth pick, Kirk Hinrichs, selected by the Knicks, has scored the only double-double in points and assists in the summer league, averaging 21 points, 13 assists and 2 steals per game, which seems to be a solid move.
He is known as the defensively enhanced version of Stockton.
Starting players for both teams:
Detroit Pistons:
Center: Andres Greenedakis
Forward: Darko Milicic
Forward: Taishaan Prince
Defender: Carlos Delfino
Defender: Pete Faith
New York Knicks:
Center: Snyder-Samak
Forward: Eddie Griffin
Forward: Luke Walton
Defender: Keith Cotton
Defender: Kirk Hinrich
The head coaches of both teams in this game are also influential figures. Of course, Patrick Ewing needs no introduction. The head coach of the Pistons is Iger Kokoskov. He has just become the Pistons assistant coach this season. However, he is also the head coach of the Pistons.
One identity is the head coach of the national team of Serbia and Montenegro. He serves as the assistant coach of the Pistons this season. This is entirely to allow Darko Milicic to integrate into the Detroit Pistons more smoothly. Joe Dumars and Larry Brown deliberately removed him from the position.
Serbia and Montenegro invited Darko Milicic to coach.
And his appearance means that the Pistons' tactics in the summer league will completely revolve around Darko Milicic.
In an unnoticed moment, Patrick Ewing turned around and asked Blake Dolan, who was sitting in the audience behind him:
"How do we fight? Are we going to let the guy who will give it to the Bulls sooner or later continue to dominate?"
Blake Dolan nodded: "Of course, we have to amplify his advantages. Moreover, in this game, our power forward is Eddie. Let us see what kind of game this guy will play after his mentality is adjusted. Let
Kirk Hinrichs played twenty minutes in this game, and then let the Spanish kid selected by Morey come on, and I want to see what attracts Daryl Morey to him."
