Chapter 99 Control the locker room

In August, most of the Knicks' players have joined the training camp, and Wu Huang has also gained a rough understanding of his teammates these days.

Fans who have been paying attention to the NBA in recent years should know that since Ewing's gorilla left, the Knicks' locker room has been the most chaotic place among the 30 teams in the league. However, with the departure of cancers such as Marbury, Randolph, Crawford last year, the atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room has become much more harmonious. Currently, the only one who is most active here is Nate Robinson. This guy is a typical chattering chat, looking careless, but in fact he is very scheming. Wu Huang saw that he is a guy who likes to form gangs.

Most of the black players in the NBA like to form gangs, which is directly related to their growing environment. Most of the black communities in the United States are chaotic and have extremely poor public security. Gangsters are rampant here and the crime rate remains high. Therefore, blacks living here have developed the habit of joining gangs to bully people or protect themselves since childhood.

Nate Robinson is a typical example. Unfortunately, he is destined to be unable to become the locker room leader of any team, and he will definitely be sent away this season because his position and Wu Huang overlap, and the functions also overlap. The Knicks cannot let him stay in the team for too long. The contract renewal negotiations between the two sides are now at a deadlock, and Little Potato may be seduced by other teams' offers at any time.

After Wu Huang practiced with the team, he first attracted the rookie Danny Green who joined the team with him. His second goal was Qianning Fry, who had just joined the team. Both of them had just joined the team and needed someone to take care of him. Wu Huang successfully gave himself two younger brothers and got rid of the situation of being a commander.

Then, based on the observations of Emperor Wu for several days, he found that Chris Duhon was a typical pot and belonged to a non-partisan; Jared Jeffries fell to the side wherever the wind blew, and belonged to the fence party. You can put it aside first; Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler have a good relationship, and Al Harrington and Larry Hughes, who have not yet joined the training, should be the same faction with them; Danilo Gallinari is the same faction with David Lee.

After this analysis, Wu Huang found that as long as the team makes a transaction, he will send Nate, Robinson, Hughes, Harrington and others away. Then the new players will naturally join his faction. In this way, his power will immediately become the dominant team, and his voice in the locker room will naturally be controlled by him.

"So, there must be a deal. This is the fastest way to break the inherent power. I don't want to spend time to subdue these guys slowly, and they are not worth it." Wu Huang has now devoted all his energy to training and two girls, so he has no time to play tricks with this group of people in the locker room. He would just cut the mess directly and send them away if he was disobedient. For example, the Nate Robinson who always pretended to be a big brother in front of him, and Wu Huang was too lazy to care about such people who were overestimating their abilities.

Wu Huang didn't talk about this matter at all. He knew that the smart general manager of the team would do this, otherwise what would he do if he wanted to be the manager?

On August 3, Wu Huang was invited to visit his boss James Dolan's house. The Knicks' brainless boss's comments in front of the media and fans can no longer be low, but in fact, they are not brainless at all. When Wu Huang was chatting, he found that his boss just doesn't understand basketball very well and is easily fooled by the manager in transfer operations. However, in business operations, his boss is several streets better than the Lakers' Little Bus. This is because the Knicks' performance is worse, but the annual income is always at the top of the league. In the environment of economic crisis, the Knicks' income is growing faster than other teams, which shows James Lan's ability in this regard.

On August 5, the Knicks quickly renewed Nate Robinson with a one-year, $4 million contract, and then used Nate Robinson and Carl Landry's younger brother Marcus Landry to exchange Eddie House, JR Giddens and Bill Walker from the Celtics.

The purpose of this deal is obvious. The four players exchanged for the Knicks are all last year contracts. If they can be used, they can be used. If they are not used well, they can be thrown into the trash can next year. The Celtics used three players who are about to expire to exchange Rondo for a co-applied substitute, and it is also a one-year contract. If they are not used well, they can still sweep into the trash can. It is not a loss.

After this deal, the Knicks' lineup suddenly became bloated.

pf: Channing Fry, Milisch, Jared Jeffries.

At first glance, the Knicks are now crowded, and they all surpass the league's highest 15-player regulations, but there may not even be half of them. Most of them are due contracts obtained by the Knicks to clear their salary space in the summer of 2010. In terms of fans, these are all CBA players.

When Wu Huang saw such a team lineup, he knew it. If the Knicks wanted to use this lineup to enter the playoffs, they could only see if these bad teams in the Eastern Conference gave face.

But even in the Eastern Conference where competitiveness is insufficient, it is difficult for the Knicks to enter the playoffs, unless Wu Huang and David Lee both played star data this season. Young players such as Chandler and Garlinari can make obvious progress compared to last season. The team has excellent chemistry and is lucky to have no injuries. Then the Knicks may still have a chance to enter the playoffs.

Throughout August and September, while attracting new players, Wu Huang actively participated in training and set an example to tell his teammates what NBA professional players should be like and what if they want to be his teammates...

Knicks general manager Donny Walsh will go to the Knicks training hall to perform some fitness activities before putting on a suit and starting work every morning. In most summer days, Wu Huang started training earlier than him.

Every day during the summer vacation, Wu Huang would come to the training hall before the sun rose. A reporter from New York once went to the camp. He did witness Wu Huang performing boring ball control, coordination, and weak-sided hand dribbling training there, and was full of horsepower, so he stayed in the training hall for half a day.

New York Times writer Da Sabi sighed in his column: It is hard to imagine that a young man with an annual salary of 6 million yuan can work so hard during the summer vacation. But persistence for Hugo may be the most indispensable word in his dictionary and his way to succeed.

Wu Huang is not so great. His efforts are because he saw the crisis. He knows what the outcome would be if he didn't work hard. However, when facing these reporters, Wu Huang said shamelessly: "Training is boring, but it can make me very excited because I like challenges and I want to do my best. I cannot disappoint my fans, which means that I must always be prepared in both physical and mental state. At the same time, I want to thank the team's trainers. In order to help me train better, they also start a day's work in advance. This has helped me a lot. I will continue to train and continue to improve my abilities."

Wu Huang pretends to be quite good, and his example is indeed the best way to establish his prestige. Young players such as Danny Green, Bill Walker quickly followed Wu Huang. This is not how high their awareness is, but that Wu Huang has high requirements for players in his own faction. Once they are late or absent from training, Wu Huang will mercilessly criticize this lazy behavior.

That's right, he has strict requirements for his teammates. He will never be able to follow him just by flattering him. This is also the prestige that a team boss should have, otherwise it will not be enough to master the authority in the locker room. Those team bosses who treat their children to nightclubs to treat them to dinner and take their younger brother to nightclubs will definitely not lead the team to win the championship.

In addition to being boring, day-to-day training is also a test and exercise for physical fitness. At this time, Wu Huang's physical strength can be shown. With such hard training, he can still run around at the houses of two girls, swaying around one by one. He is still extremely firm, and his recovery ability is just as good as a stallion.

The New York Times specially made an issue of the report on Emperor Wu in early September, which was full of praise and praise, especially for his efforts and the changes he brought to the Knicks.

Da Sabi wrote in the report: Since Hugo must start training before 7 o'clock every day, the Knicks' young players have gradually kept up with the pace of the team's new core. We have witnessed Chandler, Garlinari and others gradually joining the Knicks' Dawn training camp. There are few shadows of our players in the nightclub, and even veterans such as David Lee have joined such training after returning to the team.

The New York Times didn't say anything nonsense. David Lee, Ellington and others joined the team for joint training at the end of August. Wu Huang had already conquered Chandler and Garlinari with his actions. Now, except for a few old guys and a few gangsters who were really unwilling to play, the team has basically obeyed his leadership position.

This is not just something that can be done by setting an example, it is just one of the reasons. The bigger reason is the ability that Wu Huang showed in the team training match, especially the firepower output on the offensive end. Wu Huang demonstrated the ability to defeat a whole team by one person. This is the real reason why everyone recognizes his core. After all, this is the NBA, a place where the strong are king. The effect of his leading by example is to convince everyone and convince them.

Knicks' head coach D'Antoni also ended his vacation in August. Wu Huang has now been trained by him. Xiao Wang did not get a bunch of new skills for Wu Huang to train. This season, Wu Huang is still focusing on training him in college to control the ball, protect the ball, dribble and shoot, as well as drift and backward shooting when facing defense replacements.

In the first season, D'Antoni did not plan to let Wu Huang train new skills. He first honed the things he was good at to be able to perform in the NBA arena and be invincible, and then considered training other skills. This is the real pragmatic choice.

What is Wu Huang’s best at?

What he is best at is of course the quick shots when dribbling with his own ball, the quick shot after pick-and-roll, the quick shot after breaking through, the quick shot when without the ball cover, the quick shot when chasing, and the quick shot when facing double-teams...

What D'Antoni needs most now is these. As long as Wu can use these specialties to the extreme, he can already have a place in the league. In other aspects, as long as he can pass the ball to the pick-and-roll teammates when he encounters double-teams, this can meet D'Antoni's minimum requirements. The bearded man doesn't expect Wu to reach the point where he takes advantage of the situation in the first two seasons, which will take a lot of time to do it.

In August and September, there is nothing to talk about except training and training. The team has not traded anymore. Although the Knicks' trading rumors have always been the team with the most trades in the league, they really don't plan to make any big moves this year.

Wu Huang has a little more programs than the team. Not long ago, Emma Roberts discussed with him the plan to set up a live video website. Little Loli wanted to build a video website mainly based on live game broadcasts. If you are more pretentious, this is a live streaming video platform for video games.

Emma Roberts is now the star player of competitive game with the most clicks on Tube. The number of fans around the world is not much smaller than that of Wu Huang. Who says he is more handsome? Here is a simple question that explains the source of fans of Emma Roberts. Is it globally: Do otaku like to play games or basketball?

It is precisely because of knowing your own advantages that the original intention of the website design of the Little Loli is to create an e-sports video platform where video game players can watch the game situation of other players in real time. This platform will become the most popular gathering place for game players, because it can not only see the game competition situation on it, but also learn game strategies from other players.
