Stockton walked out of the training hall, but Yang Mo slowly squatted down, spread his hands, stared attentively, and muttered: Strength? Finger strength?
While muttering, Yang Mo slowly flicked his fingers, looking at each muscle involved with his fingers, and feeling the power that each flick could bring. In experiencing it again and again, Yang Mo felt as if he had discovered something.
What a trick, so I quickly grabbed the tennis ball and passed it... Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
No surprise, the pass was missed again.
It seems that Yang Mo still failed to control his sudden surge in power. He failed to accurately grasp the details of passing the ball. In addition, he had never practiced passing in a systematic way before.
Which led to his current bad situation.
This time the pass did not make Yang Mo too upset, but he continued to squat down and test the strength in his palms. He could now understand why Stockton asked him to practice passing the tennis ball. This was to train his palm strength.
Only by controlling this power first can we talk about passing. After all, passing is a skill that requires precision, and the slightest difference may be a mistake.
After fumbling for a while, Yang Mo continued to practice. Unfortunately, he had little success. It wasn't until his teammates came together that he could occasionally pass in a tennis ball, which was still far, far away from Stockton's goal of two.
Yang Mo practiced wholeheartedly all morning. In the afternoon, three players did not show up at the training hall again. Because they were traded. The people who were traded were Harrington, Jordan Hill, and Chris Duhon.
Yang Mo didn't pay too much attention to this news. This was what he expected, and the other players didn't have any extra thoughts besides saying goodbye. After all, this is a business alliance. When the transaction window is open, anyone can
They are all likely to be traded, and you might be the next one. Therefore, instead of worrying about others, it is better to think more about yourself.
In the afternoon, Yang Mo finally mastered some skills. He began to be able to stably throw one pass every time. At almost four o'clock, he finally managed to throw two goals, and even sometimes he could throw
Enter three.
This was a huge surprise for him, and he even jumped a few times in excitement, feeling even more refreshed than if he had won the game.
However, Stockton wasn't too excited when he tested his training results. He didn't even have the slightest smile on his face, and just said plainly: "Well, no more training today, keep practicing.
It won’t do any good. Have a good rest and put ice on your arm. Don’t wait until tomorrow and you won’t be able to lift it.”
After Stockton said this, he left without expressing any personal emotions about Yang Mo's training results.
This made Yang Mo a little frustrated. He thought he would get a reward, but actually he didn't.
Fortunately, this frustration did not last long. After practicing for half an hour, he went to the locker room to find some ice cubes and put on a cold compress. While he was applying a cold compress, Nate Robinson came over with some disinterest.
He said slowly: "Yang, don't you like me?"
"Huh?" Yang Mo frowned and looked up. He felt very strange about this question.
"My agent told me I might be traded to Boston during the All-Star Game, and he told me to be ready to move at any time." Nate Robinson said in a particularly frustrated tone.
"Going to Boston?" Yang Mo was a little surprised. Although he had seen Nate Robinson's name on Isiah Thomas' trade list before, he was planning to trade him to Golden State, but he didn't expect it to be traded to Boston now.
Already.
"Don't you know?" Nate Robinson asked in surprise: "Don't you mean that all transactions require your nod to be executed?"
"I really don't know that you will be traded to Boston, but maybe a change of environment will be better for you. The Celtics are a championship-level team, and you will have a good experience there.
Give it your best." Yang Mo said as comforting as possible.
"But I don't want to leave New York at all. I think it would be better for me to play run-and-gun with you. If I go to Boston, I might not even get playing time." Robinson looked very frustrated and had no confidence at all.
"This..." Yang Mo really didn't know what to say, because for him, although this guy is a master of chaos, but... he is also a double-edged sword. He is a player who needs the ball to play, and
His size is destined to be a tragedy for his defense. Although it is possible that one night he can bring you 30 plus statistics and even turn the tide to save the team. However, on more nights, he is responsible for destroying the team.
The role of rhythm.
So, for Yang Mo, if trading him can get a player with better defense, why say-no?
Seeing Yang Mo hesitating, Robinson stopped talking. He knew that the transaction was inevitable. So, he turned around and packed his things silently, carefully, and even tore off the photos on the locker.
Seeing him like this, Yang Mo also felt a little sad. After all, they had been together for so long, and it was a bit reluctant to be separated suddenly.
But, that's all it can do. This is the cruelty of competitive sports and the essence of business leagues. Any player is a tradable item.
Robinson packed up his things and walked out of the locker room silently.
As soon as he walked out, Isiah Thomas walked in with a list. As soon as he came in, he handed the list to Yang Mo, and then said in a reporting tone: "Yang, we just finalized three transactions, take a look.
.”
Yang Mo took a look, and the first one was the three-way trade that had been executed in the morning. The Knicks provided Jordan Hill, Chris Duhon and Harrington in exchange for Tracy McGrady and a draft pick. This transaction is undoubtedly wonderful, because
Except for Jordan Hill who can provide some playing time, the other two players have basically never played. Their roles are either overlapping or frozen by Yang Mo. The arrival of Tracy McGrady will undoubtedly enrich the team's tactical play.
, and most importantly, it clears salary space for the summer.
After reading the first deal, Yang Mo took a look at the second deal, which involved trading Nate Robinson and a 2010 second-round pick for Eddie House and Bill Walker.
Yang Mo thought about it for a while. Bill Walker was a rookie and didn't play much, so he was basically a backup. Eddie House was a famous bench gangster. Although he was older than Robinson, his organizational skills were much better than him, and
He is also a guy who can provide energy to the team as soon as he plays, although he is not very tall. Overall, this deal is reasonable.
Then, Yang Mo looked at the third transaction, trading David Lee to Golden State in exchange for Turiaf and Anthony Randolph.
Behind David Lee's name, Isiah Thomas noted an expiring contract.
Obviously, from a book perspective, the Knicks lost money on this deal, and David Lee is still a 15+10 player. Anthony Randolph and Turiaf combined only have this number, but according to David Lee
Of course, he will definitely ask for a big contract when his contract expires, and he and Yang Mo still have a grudge, so there is no guarantee that he will change jobs when the time comes. It would be better to sell him while he is still under contract and make a deal.
Get back two usable players.
Turiaf has a tough style of play, which meets Stein's tactical requirements. As for Anthony Randolph, although he had conflicts with Yang Mo in his rookie season, he is still a potential insider. Although he is a little thinner, his explosive power is still there.
Not bad. If you train well, you can become a good blue-collar worker.
"This deal with Golden State, let's see if we can get another guard from Nelson." Yang Mo pointed to the name above and said slowly.
"Well, Old Nelson is too shrewd. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do unless we get another player." Thomas replied with a smile.
"Okay, I have agreed to these transactions, you can go ahead and execute them." Yang Mo nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Coach Stan again. If there are no problems, all transactions will be completed during the All-Star Game." Isiah Thomas nodded and walked out of the locker room.
Yang Mo applied cold compress for a while, then turned around and went home.
On the way home, Yang Mo also thought carefully about the next lineup. Generally speaking, the defense is stronger, but he doesn't know what the chemical reaction will be. What Yang Mo is particularly worried about is whether Tracy McGrady can adapt to it.
As a supporting actor, what if he comes over and insists on playing with himself as the core?
Yang Mo's worry is not unreasonable. After all, Tracy McGrady has been playing a core role for so many years and suddenly becomes a supporting role. I don't know if he can adapt.
Yang Mo returned home with worries and found that there was no one at home. He turned on the TV when he had nothing to do. When he turned on the TV, he subconsciously tuned it to the sports channel. After a quick look, he discovered that it was a reporter interviewing Tracy McGrady at the New York Airport.
In the picture, although Tracy McGrady on TV has gained half a circle of weight, he is smiling and seems to be in a good mood.
"Well... I'm ready to help Super-Yang. Now is the era of young people. I will try to reduce my playing time as much as possible. After all, my injury has not recovered to 100%." Tracy McGrady was very kind when interviewed by reporters.
's speech.
At this time, the reporter hurriedly asked: "So, do you think you can lead the team into the playoffs?"
"I'm very confident about this." Tracy McGrady said confidently, "I'm here just for the playoffs."
"Do you think the relationship between you and Super-Yang can be handled well? He is a notoriously difficult player in the league." The reporter finally asked a targeted question.
When Tracy McGrady heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have rich experience in communicating with Chinese players. I believe I can definitely handle him..."
When he said this, Yang Mo turned off the TV directly. He felt that things were a bit tricky.
