The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Chapter 136 I Came to Be the Boss, Who Supports Who Opposes? !

Zuo Li's hunch was correct...

Early the next morning, Zuo Li received a call from D'Antoni, the new head coach of the Knicks. As for why he hadn't met or contacted him before, it was naturally because D'Antoni only took office half a month ago...

Donnie Walsh is still very skilled. D'Antoni just left the Suns, and he made a shot. It was a big shot. You must know that D'Antoni, who created a miracle in the Suns, is still very popular in the coaching market. He can come to the Knicks , Donny Walsh did not work hard.

Combine that with his surprise deal for the No. [-] pick, complete the trade with the Bulls, and vacate cap space over the summer.

Donnie Walsh's abilities speak for themselves.

Zuo Li chose to come to the Knicks at this time because of this consideration. In his last life, he faced the dilemma of junk contracts and no draft picks after taking office. However, this highly operational general manager gave the Knicks salary space to Teng opened, and in the future, Anthony and Stoudemire were brought in through operations.

So Donnie Walsh has good abilities, but he is too unlucky and has a mediocre vision. He only knows how to pile up superstars, but he doesn't know how to play puzzles in the free market.

In Zuo Li’s opinion, the most powerful general managers are masters of puzzles. There are so many players in the market, and sometimes fame is not everything. When there are five superstars, sometimes one or two superstars are paired with a group of champions. Puzzles can have extraordinary effects.

In Zuo Li's view, Donny Walsh has this potential.

The most important thing is that he is affectionate, and he is the most affectionate among the previous general managers of the Knicks, and that is enough.

As for the selection, when Zuo Li has enough voice, he will naturally intervene. The existence of Donny Walsh also meets Zuo Li's needs.

And Zuo Li's goal is to play his own value this season, so as to gain greater influence and voice, and he needs to work hard himself.

Although Dolan is easy to talk about now, if Zuo Li is defeated, he will never be lenient when driving Zuo Li away.

Of course, Zuo Li wouldn't give him a chance.

However, D'Antoni's phone call still gave Zuo Li enough confidence, because D'Antoni's first sentence was: "Zuo Li, I am going to let you be the core!"

Although this is the consensus of Zuo Li and Dolan, it feels different to hear this sentence from the mouth of the head coach. After all, the head coach of the locker room has the final say.

But D'Antoni also expressed his concerns: "There are a lot of old guys in the team now, and they... are not easy to talk about."

Well, it's hard to talk, D'Antoni is indeed a mild-tempered head coach, look at how euphemistic he said, he has been to elementary school at a glance.

These guys are not only hard to talk to, they are pure thorns, Richardson, Zach Randolph, Eddie Curry has long been known as difficult to deal with, except for Zach Randolph In the future, the Grizzlies had an epiphany for some reason, but the other two were still the same.

But this kind of person is also useful if used well. A team cannot be hard enough. If such a player can be used well, it will be like Rodman to the Bulls, and it will be of great help to the team.

D'Antoni's choice in the last life was to endure it for a season, and then he couldn't bear it and then he was traded away, but now, Zuo Li is here.

"Don't worry coach, I know what to do." Zuo Li said.

"Well, that's good. Don't worry, I will tailor tactics for you. You are our future." D'Antoni nodded, thinking that yellow people are much easier to communicate with than those big black guys, and it's enough to understand, no Is it just to endure for a year, endure this year, and in the future, the sea will be wide and the sky will be high and the birds will fly.

But apparently, D'Antoni misunderstood...

Tolerate?

When did this word appear in Zuo Li's dictionary!

Since time travel, when will he need to endure!

So two hours later, Zuo Li came to the training hall at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks players for the new season were gathering, and it was still an hour and a half before the official gathering time.

He wasn't the first one to arrive. There were already quite a few people shooting basketballs in the field. There was a big fat man by the side of the field. Needless to say, it was Zach Randolph.

From this perspective, we can know that there is a reason why the Knicks can’t play well. This training attitude is really bad. You are not a bug like O’Neill.

But before entering the door, Zuo Li was stopped by someone.

"Zuo Li, here!" The visitor waved his hand familiarly.

"Little Ewing, why don't you go in." Zuo Li said, this is a surprise. Little Ewing has just been selected and has become a trade bonus, and he has just arrived today, although he has been playing in the stadium next door since he was a child .

"Well, it's easy to do things with so many people." Little Ewing scratched his head; "I heard that these people are not easy to get along with, so my dad just let me follow you."

"That's it, okay, then you follow me, let's go in together." Zuo Li nodded.

I found the reason why little Ewing couldn't get it out. It turns out that he is so cowardly. The disadvantage of being born into a rich family, you are afraid of being a father because of Ewing, and you have no awareness of being a second generation at all.

But it's not bad, Zuo Lizheng is worried about not having a horse boy, and little Ewing is also suitable.

"Go."

The two pushed the door open and went in together.

And just now, the people on the court were discussing Zuo Li, the new man of the hour. They were naturally full of curiosity and... disdain for Zuo Li!

Aren't you just a rookie, no matter how awesome you are, you're still a rookie, just wait and see if we fix it and you're done!

"I heard that kid is very good at playing." Richardson said.

"Cut, how good you can play. I'm just a rookie. I know I'm weak when I get on the court." Randolph shook his head disdainfully, not forgetting to show his arms wrapped in fat. , very strong.

"He is the new core of the team."

"That depends on whether he can beat me. When I was playing, he was still a scum, and he wanted to grab the ball with me. You see, I just ignore him and it's over!" Eddie Curry is the most He is very hot, he has been the starting center for several seasons, and now he is directly robbed of his position by a rookie, so he is naturally very dissatisfied.

"Alright then, let's let our No. [-] man feel the warmth of a newcomer, hahahaha!"

At this time, Zuo Li came in. Little Ewing was looking for a corner to wait for the coach to come later, when Zuo Li walked over, sat down next to Randolph, and began to output familiarly:

"Yo, you're all here, you came quite early, it's because the nightclubs in New York are not attractive, or you are weak."

"I'm lying in ecstasy. Have you changed your vacation indoors?"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, Randolph was dumbfounded, this kid must be a fool, he directly provoked him when he first came here, what is the situation, he is still a rookie.

"Fuck!" Randolph immediately remembered, but Zuo Li held his shoulder directly, and then Randolph found that he couldn't break free no matter what, he felt a shock in his heart, and looked at Zuo Li in shock.

"This power is a bit big..."

And Zuo Li gave him a smile back, turned his head: "I said, I'm here to be the boss, who supports it and who opposes it?!"
