NBA: Peak Thompson starts

In short, Knicks fans have long begun to lament management’s New York-style luxury for the cancer of old age and Spurs-style iron cocks for some young bargains.

Because of the management’s regular show operation, the fans began to criticize all the actions of the management.

For example, after using the No. 6 show to win Lin Tao, he instinctively scolded ruthlessly.

With Lin Tao’s excellent performance in the Summer League, there are also a small number of fans who feel that it is unfair to Lin Tao… He should not be allowed to back the pot, at least look at Lin Tao’s performance of 30+ per game in the Summer League.

In addition, fans also find it novel for the Knicks to sign D’Antoni as head coach!

They don’t think they should expect this head coach without Nash, can D’Antoni still help the Knicks complete the upgrade under their junk contract?

Let him coach is to let the Knicks squad brush up on good numbers and sell them for a good price?

D’Antoni has never been a head coach recognized by Knicks fans.

At the Suns, D’Antoni produced the first team of the year center with the fewest blocks in a single season in NBA history!

Then last season, opponents shot 100 at the Knicks’ basket, and the Knicks would only cover up three of them, the lowest block rate in the league.

Such a lineup of defensive poor coaches and defensive poor players.

What kind of team will the two merge in?

The fans didn’t expect anything at all!!!

On October 2, Lin Tao appeared in the locker room of the Knicks’ training gym.

Lin Tao met the full roster of the Knicks, and summer league coach Miller introduced everyone on the team to Lin Tao.

Chris Duhon (guard), Jamal Crawford (guard), Jerome James (center), Fred Jones (guard), Jeffries (forward), Wilerson Chandler (forward), Quentin Richardson (forward), Marty Collins (guard), David Lee (forward), David Robinson (guard), Zach Randolph (center).

There are also players on training camp contracts.

For the team’s newly signed No. 6 pick.

Some welcome, some ignore, others do not care.

The Knicks selected him with such a high pick, which also means that they will focus on developing him.

It takes time to cultivate, and it also takes money to spend, and some players who are interested in brushing data have a certain degree of competition with Lin Tao.

Data is about contract size, and it’s about competing interests.

Lin Tao understood the various attitudes of these people, he did not care, in the dressing room, he found his wardrobe with his number 5 shirt hanging on it, Lin Tao began to prepare for his first team training game.

Everyone else more or less gathered together, sometimes chatting loudly, sometimes laughing.

In such a dressing room, Lin Tao did not seem very gregarious.

……..

“It’s hard for me to imagine that a player who doesn’t have the ability to attack autonomously can gain a foothold in this chaotic team, and if this rookie can’t catch the ball, then even the most accurate three-pointers can’t be shot.”

In the corner of the locker room, David Lee complained to assistant coach Miller.

“David, don’t be depressed, I had the same idea as you at the beginning, but I think this rookie may be able to bring something different to the team.” Miller patted David Lee’s shoulder.

“I hope so!” David Lee sighed heavily.

The team didn’t change much in the summer, much to David Lee’s disappointment.

Unlike other NBA players who want to get big contracts, David Lee himself is a low-key rich second generation.

Playing basketball is just for him to achieve his life goals, but the Knicks’ poor record makes him often depressed.

He was even embarrassed to tell relatives in his family that he played for the Knicks.

In New York, the Knicks are laughing stock…

…………

The Knicks’ training gym is not in Madison Gardens, but a arena not far away is leased specifically for training.

After changing his equipment in the locker room, Lin Tao put on headphones and listened to Jaylen’s “Sunny Day” to the training ground to practice shooting.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Lin Tao’s training shots are still very accurate.

“Hey, rookie!!” Wilson Chandler greeted Lin Tao.

“Huh?”

“Come on, let’s compete by three points!”

Wilson Chandler, the Knicks’ 23rd pick last year, averaged seven points per game last season, and he is also seen by the Knicks as a future development.

Chandler is similar in age to Lin Tao, so he is also friendlier.

Last season’s Wilson Chandler was not bullied by the old players, so he plans to join the new arrival!

Chandler’s three-point shooting isn’t great, he shot just 30 percent from three-point range last season, but he feels like he has one more year of professional training than Lin Tao and should win over the rookie shooter.

“No problem!”

The two quickly competed.

Without any suspense, Lin Tao won Chandler on 9-of-10 with a 10-of-10 three-pointer!

“Lin, your three points are really accurate, just as described on the news.”

“This is the guy I ate for!”

“Well, in this way, you tell me the point of shooting threes, and no one here should be better than your three-pointers.”

“OK！”

…..

Lin Tao and Chandler began to chat in depth.

Technical exchange is the best strategy to bring ties closer, and Chandler is different from many Knicks players, he wants to improve, he wants to be a better player.
