Stockton's departure has become a habit for Yang Mo. From the first day, Stockton has not practiced with him all morning, so Yang Mo is the same whether he is there or not. More
Don't even try to guess why he left.
Yang Mo practiced for nearly half a morning and made little progress, but he was able to stabilize at the level of three hits every time, and occasionally he could throw in four. It was not that he had missed five, but the only time Yang Mo felt like
Shit luck.
And just when he was about to make steady progress, head coach Stan and general manager Thomas came over with several new players. In fact, on the day that Yang Mo had a relationship with Girls' Generation, New York acted vigorously and resolutely.
Two trades were carried out, plus the previous trade with the Rockets, which directly replaced more than half of the original lineup. Thomas's methods can not be said to be fast, accurate and ruthless.
In addition to Tracy McGrady, who was acquired in the previous transaction, Turiaf and Anthony Randolph from the Warriors were also traded, and David Lee and a draft pick were traded. In addition, the Celtics also sent
They lost the bench gangsters Tony Allen and Bill Walker, and the price the Knicks paid was only the new dunk champion Nate Robinson and a draft pick. Poor Nate Robinson, the glory of the three-time dunk champion had not had time to claim it, when something came from behind.
'Please pack your bags and go directly to Boston' message.
"Yang, come here and get to know your new teammates." Isiah Thomas hooked Yang Mo and enthusiastically called him over.
As the leader of this team, Yang Mo really needed to greet the new members of the team, so he immediately put down the tennis ball in his hand and walked over. After passing by, he enthusiastically talked to the new teammates
High-five. Although Anthony Randolph looked a little embarrassed when he high-fived Yang Mo, Yang Mo didn't feel unnatural at all.
Although Anthony Randolph had provoked Yang Mo before, Yang Mo dealt with him at that time, so for him, there was no such thing as an overnight feud. But Anthony Randolph was a little bit grudge. He thought Yang Mo
Mo might give him small shoes because of this. But the fact is, with Yang Mo's current level, why should he be on the same level as him?
After high-fiving, Yang Mo praised them one by one: "I know, your name is Tony Allen, and you leave a deep impression on me every time I play against you. You are like a mad dog on the court, very
Tough, I like your style of play and even more so your defense. Your arrival will definitely inject an iron-blooded spirit into us. We welcome you to join us and I am happy to be your teammate."
Yang Mo's words of praise were sincere and touching. Tony Allen felt happy after hearing this. He quickly said: "I am also very happy to be super-yang's teammate, and I will do my best to be your good assistant."
.”
"Thank you." Yang Mo shook hands with him warmly. Then he said to Turiaf next to him: "You are also a tough player. I appreciate every jump and every physical contact you make in the penalty area. You
His muscles will make our entire penalty area full of strength, man, you are welcome to join us."
"Thank you, I am very happy to be super-yang's assistant." Turiaf immediately expressed his intention to follow in Yang Mo's footsteps.
After Yang Mo shook hands with him, he said to Bill Walker: "Come on, rookie, you will get more playing opportunities here. I hope you can use these playing opportunities to play unforgettable games. Welcome to join."
"I will definitely work hard."
"And you, Anthony. Your talent surprises me. I hope you can fully unleash your talent here. In our penalty area, you will have a sky to fly. Come on, I am very optimistic about you," Yang Mo said
Patted Anthony Randolph on the shoulder and said words of encouragement,
Yang Mo encouraged himself like a boss, but Anthony Randolph actually accepted it humbly. He didn't know why he suddenly "fallen upon himself". This guy was obviously his opponent before, but how could he become his opponent in the blink of an eye?
Did he kill his little brother?
There is no way. Who made his progress too slow? In the first one or two months of his rookie season, he might be able to compare with Yang Mo, but as time goes by, he has long been left behind by Yang Mo, even the taillights of his car.
Out of sight. Now, after being traded to the Knicks, who should be the younger brother instead of the younger brother? Who makes him not know how to be aggressive?
After encouraging Anthony Randolph, Yang Mo looked at Tracy McGrady with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Tracy, welcome to the Knicks to coach us young players. I grew up watching your ball. So, where can I get it?"
I’m not qualified to criticize you.”
Yang Mo's words of respect were very helpful to Tracy McGrady. He nodded repeatedly, and then said a little arrogantly: "I am here to lead everyone to the playoffs and even the finals. I hope everyone can unite closely."
Together. Come on!!"
Tracy McGrady was praised by Yang Mo, and he subconsciously entered the super core mode, acting like a master. This made Yang Mo a little stunned, and Isiah Thomas next to him frowned, and he almost wanted to remind Special
Lacey McGrady: Man, if your expiring contract hadn't saved you $20 million in salary space next year, you really wouldn't be of much use to the Knicks. After all, we already have super at the small forward position.
-yang.
At this time, Stein said very sinisterly: "Tracy said it very well. Next, I will focus on our tactics for the new players. Our tactics are based on defense.
This is why we invited you defensive heroes to the Knicks, so next I will focus on your defense. If the defense is not active enough and it drags down the team, I will never ask you to play.
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Several people replied at the same time. The others were full of momentum, except for Tracy McGrady, who was a little less confident.
Although he started out on defense, so many years of super-core playing style have made him forget what defense is. He has become accustomed to others filling in for him and wiping his butt for missed defenses. But now, he wants to become
For people who wipe other people's butts, the gap is obviously too big.
At this moment, Stein began to explain other tactics: "As for the offense, our first choice is Yang, and you must cooperate carefully. I have sent the specific tactics to your email, and I hope you will read it."
This is directly linked to your playing time."
After Stein said this, Isiah Thomas added two more points: "You are now Knicks players. I hope that with everyone's efforts, the Knicks can return to the playoffs this year. Come on!"
Isiah Thomas finished supplementing and walked to the office.
At this time, Stein immediately called the players together, then divided into groups to fight and practice tactics.
While all the players were practicing tactics, Yang Mo was still throwing his tennis balls. For him, practicing together was obviously more important than not uploading tennis balls. After all, he had already memorized his team's tactics by heart, and with his
His tactical literacy will not necessarily be worse than the current set of tactics when he creates his own on the court. Besides, as the core, his tactical setting is always the simplest one, because all the players are surrounding him.
He just needs to control his own pace.
Yang Mo did not practice tactics, so Tracy McGrady naturally became the actor of Yang Mo. During the joint training, his performance was more eye-catching, which surprised Stein. He originally thought that Tracy McGrady would become very bad after minimally invasive surgery.
.But the result is that in addition to the deterioration of physical fitness, the offensive awareness and passing awareness have been greatly improved. Although the physical strength is still far away from the peak period, at least it can temporarily withstand Yang Mo's time when he is no longer there.
Some firepower.
In other words, Yang Mo no longer has to be bullied by the whole audience.
So, in this way, in Stein's mind, Tracy McGrady was directly equated with the sixth man.
Yang Mo also occasionally watched the duels on the court after practice. He was not surprised by Tracy McGrady's outstanding performance. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Tracy McGrady used to be one of the top superstars, no matter how bad he is.
Not much different. What surprised him was that the team's interior defensive capabilities were a notch better, and the point guard problem was greatly alleviated by the arrival of Tony Allen. Overall, this lineup
It has improved a lot compared to before. After all, the people traded away by Isiah Thomas are all unnecessary people.
Now, although there are still some people with overlapping positions on the team, and Chris Duhon has never been traded, there are actually many more people who can play.
During the lunch break, Yang Mo went to Isiah Thomas's office. As soon as he entered the office, he expressed his appreciation for Isiah Thomas: "Man, these three transactions are very cost-effective. We are constantly cleaning up some junk contracts, and they will be useless."
All the players were cleared out.”
"This is what I should do." Isiah Thomas said with pride.
"Yeah." Yang Mo nodded, changed the subject, and continued: "Then when will you trade Larry Hughes, Chris Duhon, Wilt Chandler, Gallinani and other people who have overlapping positions? Although
This transaction has enriched our interior, but the offensive power of the interior has weakened, and the point guard is still weak. So, let’s talk about our follow-up plan.”
"This..." Isiah Thomas said with a slight hesitation and embarrassment: "The transaction window has just closed, let's wait until the summer."
"You should also prepare well. After all, we are heading towards the finals. Now you go to look for interior offensive players and point guards. The trade market will definitely be in chaos this summer. We must make plans in advance, otherwise
We didn’t even catch the big fish, so we were trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.”
"Yes, I understand. I'll start planning now." Isiah Thomas nodded like a fool. Unknowingly, he had regarded Yang Mo as his boss. In front of James Dolan, his piety was nothing more than this.
