Chapter 350 The preseason starts(1/3)

.........

October 6th.

The training camp for the New York Knicks began.

This season, the Knicks have left Eddie Curry, Nate Robinson, Jeffries, Terrence Rose, Tim Thomas and other marginal players.

There are cuts and transactions.

The players including Brooke Lopez (8th pick), DeAndrew Jordan (2nd second round), Golan Dragic (3rd second round), Tony Allen, PJ Tucker, Kyle Korver, Mark Gasol and other players were introduced.

The first three are draft picks, Tony Allen and Tucker are free agents, Korver and Marc Gasol get the deal, and Marc Gasol is also playing NBA for the first year.

This is the result of discussion by Thomas, general manager of the Knicks, and Lin Rui.

Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Thomas once again dragged down Lin Rui, and he did nothing in summer.

Four rookies and three role players were introduced, and that's all?

These four rookies don't look like super rookies at all.

Three big men who look like role players, a European point guard.

What about the All-Stars we want?

What are the helpers we want?

Thomas is actually very difficult to do. Most superstars choose to enter the free market next year. There are no big fish in the free market this year. Even if there are big fish, they have already confirmed the team.

Some are unwilling to partner with Lin Rui, while others are their own parent teams who are unwilling to let players sign the Knicks.

Everyone knows that giving the Knicks a superstar means winning the championship.

The media and fans kept yelling at Thomas.

Lin Rui comforted Thomas and helped him defend him in front of the media.

Before the training camp started, Lin Rui talked about the Knicks' signings when facing reporters: "I know what kind of guys we have brought in. They are all great, and I am looking forward to the new season."

October 6th.

Knicks locker room.

Lin Rui was the last one to appear here.

At this time, the newcomers and the Knicks veterans were all there.

I saw Lin Rui appear.

The newcomers were a little nervous.

Lin Rui is the well-deserved boss of the Knicks.

There were too many halos surrounding him.

"Hey, hello everyone, long time no see, have you missed me?" Lin Rui greeted his old teammates with a smile.

"Hey, Lin, you're big again."

"I watched the Olympic Games, you're so cool."

......

The veterans all stood up and greeted Lin Rui one by one.

The Knicks' newcomers have just gotten along with the veterans, and now they are even more nervous when they see the veterans' dog-like virtues.

Fortunately, Lin Rui has no airs.

Under David Lee's introduction, all the new players hugged Lin Rui with high-highs.

After a while, the head coach also came in.

Mike D'Anthony!

D'Antoni is the coach candidate recommended by Coach Thomas and a group of executives to the boss after Lin Rui's approval.

Mike D'Antoni was ranked 20th in the second round in the 1973 NBA draft (selected by Kansas City Omaha Kings and San Antonio Spurs during the NBA period, played for St. Louis Souls during the ABA period, and joined the Milan Olympia in Italy in 1977.

Mike D'Antoni in Milan's Olympia is full of honors, winning the league championship many times and being elected as the scoring champion and assisting champion many times.

In 1990, Mike D'Antoni was elected the best defender in the Italian league. In the same year, he officially announced his retirement. His style of play affected the subsequent NBA superstars. Kobe Bryant, who was still a child at the time, watched football in Italy.

After retiring, Mike D'Anthony served as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA League. He has led this team since 2003. He won the honor of the NBA best coach in the 2004-05 season, leading the team to a regular season record of 62 wins and 20 losses and reached the Western Conference Finals.

D'Antoni coached the label style is clear.

"Running and bombing tactics!" "Good at coaching point guards!"

Lin Rui has been communicating since he learned that he became the head coach of the Knicks.

The reason why D'Antoni was willing to coach the Knicks was Lin Rui in addition to the market factors here.

D'Antoni has created a "magic ball" system for Lin Rui that is exclusive to him!

.........

D'Antoni is also a very kind head coach.

The overall atmosphere in the locker room was great.

In this way, the Knicks' core lineup also came out.

Point Guard: Lin Rui, Dragic

Scoring guards: Crawford, Tony Allen.

Small forward: Richardson, Korver.

Power forward: Randolph, David Lee, Tucker.

Center: Robin Lopez, Marc Gasol, DeAndrew Jordan.

The Knicks' core lineup has temporarily confirmed these 12 people, and the other three are left for newcomers who have performed well in training camp and preseason during this period.

............

"Brooke, go buy fried chicken."

"Dandrew, go buy milk tea."

"Golan, go and get our bags."

The Knicks veterans wantonly teach rookies NBA culture.

Lin Rui and the others dare not bully last season, so they have to bully these newcomers.

Seeing his teammates making trouble, Lin Rui also smiled.

Lin Rui rarely interferes with these things, he is relatively independent.

Lin Rui's mature mentality makes him not as mentally as an ordinary young man.

This is also the reason why Lin Rui can chat with many veterans.

Lin Rui has also become friends with many veteran superstars in the league.

On the training ground.

Lin Rui ignored the interference at the side of the venue.

Focusing on practicing his three-pointer.

5 points.

10 three-pointers, all hit!

Finally, there is a logo three-pointer!

9 out of 10!!

Lin Rui's three-point shooting percentage made all the new players stunned.

Korver sighed: "God, has he always shot like this?"

Tucker said, "This is too accurate."

Randolph did not answer the two of them's amazement, but Richardson said: "This is his daily life, and you will gradually get used to it from now on."

Lin Rui's consecutive three-pointers hit on the training ground put a lot of pressure on these newcomers.

"Boss, can you tell me the trick of shooting three points?" Tony Allen asked.

Last season, Tony Allen was often beaten by Lin Rui when he was at the Celtics.

Lin Rui said: "This, this, this, this! It's very simple."

Lin Rui made a demonstration...

Everyone: "????"

Which one?

Which one?
