knife point guard

Chapter 268 [The genius characters have been blown away]

Eddy Curry is causing trouble.

After the opening of the training game, he was stopped by the police on suspicion of speeding on his way back to Long Island, and a gun was found in his car.

Although he claimed that the items were registered and that he had a gun license, he only used them for hunting in the offseason. However, police discovered that one of them was not registered.

This landed him in judicial proceedings.

Although this is a small case, many lawyers are willing to help him fight this kind of lawsuit.

However, this kind of news came out on the first day of training camp, which disappointed many people. The air in New York City was filled with the atmosphere of telling Eddy Curry to get out.

Eddy Curry's body shape has been criticized at length.

Turn on almost any local New York sports channel and you’ll see an indictment of Eddy Curry.

Ordinary people simply cannot resist this overwhelming public opinion offensive.

But it looks like Eddy Curry is used to it.

He showed up at the practice facility the next day as if nothing was wrong, and the Knicks didn't intervene.

The formal training began on this day.

Although Isiah Thomas looks carefree, and he doesn't get along well with the players.

But his tactical ideas are very orthodox, even academic. He requires positional offense, he emphasizes defense, and his defensive system places great emphasis on collaboration between players.

When Su Xi saw the tactical manual, he almost thought he was still in Indiana, but once he trained, he immediately felt a completely different temperament.

Except for Su Xi, no one in the entire stadium has qualified defensive quality.

Su Xi has forced his opponent to a desperate situation several times. As long as his teammates come to surround him, he can complete the defense. But there was no tacit understanding at all.

Suhi used to play with defensive heroes such as Artest and Stephen Jackson.

Now with him are Crawford and Quentin Richardson.

He was originally a hunter and now he is a nanny.

After a training session, Su Xi felt intensely frustrated.

The Knicks are worse than the Cavaliers. They are indeed a puddle of mud.

Isiah Thomas ran over and said to Su Xi: "Don't worry, Jack. We have just come back from the offseason, and our physical condition has not recovered yet. Once we finish the preseason and adjust our physical condition, we will be able to play well." .”

Su Xi shook her head.

He said to Isiah Thomas: "I think we don't need to try on defense and let's play offense first."

The biggest difference between Isiah Thomas and other head coaches is that he has a flexible bottom line.

"No problem, Jack. That's what I'm thinking. I'll take out the new tactical manual tonight." Isiah Thomas said resourcefully.

Su Xi nodded.

Since the afternoon, Su Xi began to improve the offensive rhythm, and began to play pick-and-roll tactics, gradually figuring out the comfort zone of his teammates.

Increased training volume.

For obese players such as Eddy Curry and Jerome James, there is a lot of pressure.

They have a passive attitude.

However, Isiah Thomas appropriately promulgated a new team management system. He does not allow players to miss team training games without injuries. If the absence reaches a certain number of venues, the club will impose team penalties.

The management hopes to use this method to motivate the players.

Suhi found Eddy Curry after the game. He asked Eddy Curry about the status of his lawsuit and told him: "Don't be affected by these things. In the new season, we will rely on your performance in the interior."

Eddy Curry was a little surprised at the time. He didn't expect that Su Xi would value him so much.

"Your offensive skills are very good. Even if you don't lose weight, you can kill 90% of the centers in the league." Su Xi then said to him: "With a talent like yours, just keep your touch soft. It's normal to be lazy and slip up if you don't train. Geniuses are all like this. Only stupid birds think about flying first every day. They always think that the early bird gets the worm, but they don't know that some birds can get up at noon to get the worm. Meat."

Suzy patted Eddy Curry on the shoulder.

Eddy Curry was dumbfounded. He has never been said like this before. Some people always say that he is not self-disciplined and that he has to work hard to live up to his talent. Others say he could become a superstar if he just works a little harder.

But Su Xi told herself: You can eat meat without working hard or getting up early.

He is praising me!

Eddy Curry suddenly felt a warm current.

In fact, he was thinking the same thing. He finally met someone who understood him: Why should a talented genius keep in shape? Why train hard every day?

But when he turned around, he saw Su Xi already practicing there. Su Xi was practicing mid-range jump shots. He had additional practice yesterday.

Seeing Su Xi practicing so silently, young people such as Nate Robinson, Trevor Ariza, Channing Frye, and Turiaf also followed suit silently.

Young people like to be lively. They practice very vigorously and talk and laugh.

Eddy Curry looked at them and actually wanted to join in.

He is not old, he entered the league as a high school student. He has played in the NBA for five years. According to American calculations, he will not turn 12 until after December this year.

This is why Isiah Thomas gave him a big contract and why many people think he has a promising future. He is actually more than 2 years younger than Yao Ming.

But in the end he didn't step over, but he didn't leave either. He was lying on the sidelines. He doesn't want to go home. When he goes home, he will be annoyed by those lawyers and agents, asking him this and that, and the police will also call him.

The court became his refuge.

In a daze, he seemed to be back when he was twelve or thirteen years old. At that time, he also concentrated on hiding on the basketball court to avoid street trouble and family turmoil.

At this time, a loud cheer erupted from the stadium.

Nate Robinson drove to the basket and completed a stunning dunk, which caused everyone to scream.

The youngsters rushed over and pinned Nate Robinson to the floor in celebration.

Eddy Curry smiled.

Su Xi waved to him, meaning to ask him to come over and put some pressure on Nate Robinson.

Eddy Curry hurriedly ran in. He swooped up and pressed on the top. With the weight of more than 300 kilograms, Nate Robinson immediately begged for mercy.

Su Xi said: "Now I give you two choices. The first is to wear my signature shoes from today on, and you will have to complete one dunk per game on average in the preseason. The second is, I will jump up again and put some pressure on you. pressure."

"The first one! The first one! The first one!"

Nate Robinson quickly made his choice, and Susie pulled Eddy Curry down.

After Eddy Curry came down, he raised his eyebrows at Su Xi and said, "You are pretty good at business."

"Of course." Su Xi said with a smile: "Do you want to help me supervise this kid? I have to let him dunk 5 more balls in the training hall every day."

Upon hearing this, Eddy Curry immediately hugged Little Potato's neck like a hawk grabbing a chicken: "No problem, Jack. Leave this little thing to me. I will definitely train this rookie to become the NBA dunk king."

Eddy Curry was instantly motivated.

Nate Robinson is helpless. As a rookie, he can only bear this kind of 'unspoken bullying'.

However, Su Xi then said to him: "Tomorrow I will ask the staff to come over and customize a foot mold for you."

Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Xiaodudou was immediately overjoyed. This is a customized service. If he spends money to customize sneakers, it will be a big expense for him.

Although Su Xi is threatening him now, she wants to give him shoes, customize them for him, and... let him dunk once every game. Isn't this a way to make him famous?

The more Nate Robinson thought about it, the more pleased he became. He thought to himself: Jack regards me as his confidant.

At this time, Eddy Curry was also thinking: Does Jack regard me as his second boss? He has asked me to help him manage his younger brother? Hehe, he still has some sense.

"Eddie, you will be the referee. We will be divided into two groups and play one against three against three." Su Xi said to them.

Eddy Curry quickly agreed.

Then quickly divided into two groups: Nate Robinson, Trevor Ariza, and David Lee are one group.

Su Xi, Channing Frye, and Turiaf are a group.

Eddy Curry blew the whistle decently to announce the start of the game.

Although it was a training within the team, Su Xi showed her real attitude as soon as she got up.

He knocked right past Nate Robinson, got to the basket and went head-to-head with David Lee, and got an easy layup over him.

The strength of David Lee and Nate Robinson is pretty good among rookies.

However, compared with a monster like Su Xi, he is no match at all.

Su Xi scored consecutively.

The beating made them collapse.

Before the NBA preseason started, Su Xi gave them a baptism.

"Eddie, come and show David Lee how to play in the NBA."

Sushi called a stop to the game and said to Eddy Curry.

When Eddy Curry heard this, he didn't think much, took off his whistle and went on the court.

Su Xi hit the basket again, deliberately slowing down his movements. He collided with Eddy Curry and missed the basket for a layup.

Nate Robinson rushed in to grab the rebound and passed to Eddy Curry.

Eddy Curry sat in the paint and attacked Turiaf, but Turiaf couldn't handle it at all.

Eddy Curry turned around and made a small hook... Wow!

Score easily.

"You should study hard. He only used 30% of his power."

Soucy said to Turiaf and David Lee.

When Eddy Curry heard Su Xi's praise, his heart beat a little faster and his face became a little bloodshot. He said, "Fifty percent. Jack."

"These rookies really have no defense."

Nate Robinson proceeds to serve the ball to Eddy Curry.

Eddy Curry was still playing alone against Turiaf. He faked a face-to-face shot to deceive Turiaf's center of gravity, then used his huge body to push Turiaf away and succeeded in a layup.

Eddy Curry's offensive level is very good. He has a soft touch inside and has a complete center offensive method.

Moreover, the size advantage is also obvious.

Otherwise, why would the Bulls use him as the core of their reconstruction?

It's just that this kid is ineffective, lacks enthusiasm, and doesn't work hard enough. He has not achieved much after playing for several years, and he was poached by Isiah Thomas with a high salary.

Eddy Curry scored 5 goals in a row, and in the end, Su Xi's side won the ball.

Su Xi killed the game with a three-point jumper and took the lead with 21 points.

But Eddy Curry relished the feeling of almost turning the tide.

After the fight, he even suggested inviting everyone to an adult club.

Su Xi rejected the proposal. He said: "What's the point of going to such a low-end place to play with women who can be had by paying money? Young people should fasten the first button of their lives, and if they want to play, they should have some high-end play." of."

Su Xi's words are so convincing.

Eddy Curry was immediately convinced.

But these rookies seem to have been splashed with cold water. They want to play with these low-end games.

Eddy Curry is tired of playing, and they haven't even started playing yet.

Nate Robinson even whispered: "There is a process, right? Brother Eddie, take us to open our eyes..."

Eddy Curry took advantage of the situation and put him under his armpit again, implementing the second-in-command management policy: "Didn't you hear what Jack said? You must fasten the first button of your life. Follow Brother Jack, what are you afraid of?"

Nate Robinson was immediately convinced, physically convinced.

Eddy Curry enjoys this feeling too much.

...

Nine days after the start of the New York Knicks training camp, they ushered in the first game of the preseason. The opponent was the Phoenix Suns from afar.

The Phoenix Suns were ranked first in the regular season last season. They lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and ultimately failed to face the Pacers in a decisive battle with the Pacers. Some of their fans were quite regretful, thinking that the Spurs were swept 0:4 and lost face in the Western Conference. If it were them, they might still win.

Isiah Thomas looked at the suggested starting list given by Su Xi, and he was a little strange.

He has been very curious in the past few days...why Eddy Curry and Su Xi got together.

It makes sense for those rookies to mix with Su Xi. If newcomers want to do well in the NBA and take the first step in their careers, they will naturally get closer to the team's strongest core.

But Eddy Curry couldn't get closer.

And he feels that Eddy Curry is much fuller mentally and physically now, and he also feels a little thinner.

Did Jack give him Ecstasy?

He would actually stay and practice after the game.

And I still take the initiative to practice more.

Su Xi never mentioned training with Eddy Curry. He just asked Eddy Curry to help him manage Nate Robinson and give pointers to the rookie's inside offense. Let him occasionally make a cameo appearance in a three-on-three game.

Eddy Curry will definitely be fine playing as a rookie.

However, Su Xi held him in high esteem. He always said that he only used 40% of his strength.

After wearing this high hat, he felt a little guilty.

Therefore, I occasionally practice using both hands.

Su Xi would go up to stop him at this time: "There's no need to be too tired, Eddie. With a talent like yours, just train normally."

Eddy Curry nodded repeatedly. He really doesn't practice much anymore.

But when I get home, I just practice hard.

I dug out the video tapes that I hadn’t opened for many years and looked at them: "The Four Great Centers Teach You Inside Steps", "Olajuwon's Classic Steps", "Jabbar Teaches You the Hook", "Chamberlain's Anchor Point Theory"... .

Su Xi has already established his talent of being able to defeat 90% of centers without training. The young players looked at him with admiration.

He couldn't help but train secretly.

Just to enjoy the aura of genius and those eyes full of admiration.
