After appeasing the other Knicks players, Han Ning relaxed and continued to look for players to complement the Knicks lineup.

Currently, the Knicks only have nine players on their roster.

Not even a full roster of 12 people can be assembled.

Last season, the Knicks had very few players.

Many times, in order to make up the roster, a few players from the Development League are temporarily brought up to make up the roster.

It's just that these players basically don't have a chance to play.

Han Ning was also a little dissatisfied with this.

Last season, the Knicks were lucky enough to not encounter any major injuries.

You can't do that this season.

At least twelve players must be added.

That means adding three more players.

Two players can sign rookie players from the draft.

A first-round pick traded from the Lakers.

And the second-round pick the Knicks still have.

Han Ning plans to find the remaining player from the free agent list.

There are indeed many good players hidden in this year's free agent list.

Just like Rasheed Wallace.

But there are no good inside players on the draft roster.

In other words, there are good inside players.

But with the number of picks in the hands of the Knicks, they simply can’t sign him!

Therefore, he can only look for inside players from the free agent list to strengthen.

But it is a pity that players like Rasheed Wallace cannot come to the Knicks to play as a substitute.

Han Ning had no choice but to focus on players who were not that good.

This also means that it may be difficult for the Knicks to form a new lineup of four big men inside.

The intensity will definitely drop a bit from last season.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Flicking through the free agent information one after another.

Han Ning's expression became more and more serious.

The reason why the Knicks were able to perform so well and win the championship last season.

The four kings inside played a huge role.

if you can.

Naturally, he wants to let the team continue this advantage.

Has an absolute advantage inside.

However, at the end of this center era.

It is so difficult to find excellent inside players!

Suddenly, Han Ning's eyes lit up.

A player's information was placed in front of him.

Vlade Divac!

This player is very suitable for the current Knicks team!

First of all, Vlade Divac made the All-Star team in 2001.

The strength is beyond doubt.

Especially his passing ability is outstanding!

At this point, he can even become Dayao's teacher!

In NBA history, only 6 players have reached or exceeded 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocks at the same time.

Divac is one of them, the other five are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett and Hakeem Olaju

prosperous.

Of course, Dayao's name may be added in the future.

But now, Vlade Divac is still a very good player.

Although I am older.

But he can still use his rich experience to ensure defensive strength in the interior.

In terms of offense, his passing ability can be used to help the team sort out the offense.

In this way, even if Vlade Divac and Mutombo partner up, the Knicks' internal firepower will be reduced a lot.

But in terms of defensive intensity, it has actually improved.

Moreover, the Knicks' bench can use Vlade Divac's passing skills to implement more tactical plays to increase their offensive firepower.

Finally, it can also teach Dayao some experience in high-level coordination.

No matter how you look at it, it’s extremely suitable!

The worst thing is, the Knicks' bench will just compete with other teams on defense!

He still didn't believe it.

With Vlade Divac and Mutombo, can they compete defensively against other teams’ bench lineups?!

If you can't prevent it, you're doomed!

Although Vlade Divac would have retired due to injury in the 2004-2005 season in the original historical process.

But now, he is not injured yet.

Everything is avoidable.

As long as Vlade Divac doesn't get injured, it's definitely not a problem for Vlade Divac to play for another two or three years.

Last season, he averaged 9.9 points and 5.7 rebounds per game with the Kings!

The only trouble is that Vlade Divac was still in the starting lineup for the Kings last season.

Will the Knicks be willing to play on the bench this season?

But in Han Ning's opinion, this trouble is not a big problem.

Taking out his cell phone, the person asked for Vlade Divac's number and dialed it.

As the head coach of the Knicks, Han Ning has a group of fraternal stars in the league. It is very simple to find Vlade Divac's mobile phone number.

As soon as the call was connected, Han Ning said, "Vlad, I'm Han Ning, the head coach of the Knicks."

Vlad Divac couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing Han Ning's words.

Then he quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Hello, Coach Han Ning."

Han Ning said straight to the point: "I won't beat around the bush with you, Vlad. Are you willing to come to the Knicks?!"

Vlad Divac frowned slightly after hearing this.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Coach Han Ning, as far as I know, the Knicks already have many excellent inside players."

"If I go to the Knicks, I can only play as a substitute, right?!"

After hearing this, Han Ning smiled.

Then he said softly: "Vlad, you also know your age. You can't compete with Yao and Kurt Thomas on the Knicks."

"After all, they are younger than you."

"I'll tell you the truth, I want you to come off the bench for the Knicks."

"Just like Mutombo."

The more Vlad Divac listened, the more he frowned.

Although he had to admit that what Han Ning said was right.

I have to admit that I am getting older.

But he really doesn’t want to admit defeat!

If possible, he really wants to continue playing in the starting lineup.

However, Han Ning's next words completely defeated all the psychological defenses in his heart.

"Vlad, come to the Knicks! With you, we can definitely defend the championship!"

Overall champion!

Vlade Divac hasn’t won a championship yet!

As long as we can win the championship.

Who cares about him being the starting substitute?!

You can just show me the water dispenser!

Vlade Divac didn't even think about it and immediately agreed.

Go to TM’s starting lineup!
Chapter completed!
