NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 488: he is a freak

【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】

In the second preseason game against the Cavaliers, Gallinari suffered a broken left arm and will be out for at least two months...

This shrunk season totaled less than 5 months, and Gallinari was absent for two months, which was equivalent to being reimbursed for half the season.

This makes the Knicks a little uncomfortable, Gallinari's position in the Knicks is still very important.

Although the defense is not good, but in the Knicks, he acts as the sixth man, and his firepower is sometimes very useful when he gets the starting lineup.

For example, when Lian Dao is in the fourth position, Gallinari is in the third position. He can use his three-point shooting to help Lian Dao open up space and make D'Antoni's tactical arrangements more flexible.

But now, the Knicks suddenly lost Gallinari, which made D'Antoni anxious.

Now, it's hard for them to find someone who can replace Gallinari.

With the start of the preseason, almost all free agents have found their next home. Those who have not found a next home must be trapped in the overseas market. When they come back, Gallinari has already recovered.

For example: jr · Smith, Kirilenko.

Lian Dao also said that many teams would encounter trouble this season, but he did not expect that the first one to be fulfilled would be the Knicks.

Before the season started, they were hit in the head. It seems that their road to defending the title will not be as smooth as imagined.

However, fortunately, the Jimmy Butler they selected in the draft performed well in the preseason. Although Jimmy is not yet a finished product, his active defense can still survive some substitute time.

And this little guy is hardworking enough. After he came to the Knicks, he knew his own shortcomings, and he trained until late every day before leaving. The reason why Jimmy Butler was successful in history is because he worked harder than others.

Nobody dislikes a player who trains hard.

"sickle, I like this kid, he has a ruthless attitude towards himself. I believe that as long as he trains for a season or two, he will definitely be of great use."

Rasheed Wallace, who is already an assistant coach, leaned over to Lian Dao and said.

Lian Dao nodded, he agreed with Hua Laishi's words.

Butler really worked hard. In the practice confrontation, he was knocked down again and again, but he got up again and again, devoted himself to defense, got stuck, and actively moved. These things were originally very boring, but he completed them with relish.

Even though he was already sweating profusely and was physically and mentally exhausted, he was still training.

"Jimmy, it's almost there. Take a break and train again. Training is about relaxation. If you practice like this, you may get injured." Lian Dao handed Jimmy a bottle of Gatorade.

"Thank you, sickle, I feel that the gap between me and you is too big. I know we are the championship team, and I don't want to drag the team down because of myself!"

The gap in personal strength is what frustrates Butler the most. With his outstanding performance in college, he thought he would become the favorite of heaven.

I just didn't expect that in the NBA and the Knicks, an ordinary substitute could easily beat him.

Facing Tony Allen's defense, he even had difficulty dribbling.

"Hahaha, Jimmy, you can dominate the world without anyone coming up!"

"No, you were at the peak when you debuted, didn't you?" Butler said.

"Hahaha, boy, compare him to him, he is a freak! Did you see that rookie in the first year, single-core brought the team to the division finals, and almost won the Eastern Conference championship?"

Wallace laughed when he heard Butler regard Lian Dao as his present.

"Get out, you old cucumber dish, what kind of freak, I'm so talented." Lian Dao scolded with a smile.

Then he said to Butler again.

"Your performance in the preseason shows that among the players in the same class, your strength is still very good. Don't underestimate yourself or compare with me. I believe that you can grow up as soon as possible!"

"I will, Sickle, don't worry, I won't hold you back when I play!" Butler promised very seriously.

"Very good, come on boy!" Lian Dao clenched his fist and touched Butler.

Lian Dao thought that the Knicks selected Butler. He would not have much playing time in his rookie season, and most of them should be sitting on the bench, but he did not expect that Gallinari was injured, which also gave Butler a Chance.

The opportunity has been given to him, it depends on whether he can seize it!

"I heard from Mike that you chose this kid because you are more optimistic?" Rasheed asked.

"Dony asked me. I just gave him a suggestion, and it was just a suggestion."

Lian Dao doesn't want to be the kind of player who interferes with the management's choice.

"Hey, but your vision has always been very good, but, what's the situation with that guy?" Rasheed Wallace asked, pointing to the casual Hassan Whiteside.

Hassan is no longer a rookie, but his training attitude is not as good as that of Butler, a rookie.

When he was traded to the Knicks at the time, Rasheed Wallace thought that the big center was finally ushered in inside, but he didn't expect this guy's attitude to be very problematic.

Lian Dao slapped his forehead, feeling a little regretful, he actually brought Hassan to the Knicks too early.

Historically, after Hassan experienced a series of blows from being laid off, this guy really changed his mind and changed himself. Now Hassan has not experienced these blows.

Historically, because the king selected Cousins, the second inside player selected by the king was waived after only one season in Sacramento.

In the off-season, because of the lockout, Hassan went overseas to seek gold with free agents.

But unlike most of the nba players who are doing well, this **** who has outstanding physical talent, but his brain is not very good, and his attitude is very loose, was also cut after playing a few games in cba.

Even the cba team thinks he is a fool with a body but no brains.

After that, Hassan even transferred to the Development League and nbl. It was not until 2014, when he was in the Heat, that Hassan Whiteside was reborn.

But the rebirth of Lian Dao has changed many situations, and Hassan Whiteside is one of them.

Since the Knicks cut off Cousins ??last season, the Kings waived Hassan a bit late. They originally wanted to waive him before the start of the game, but they didn't expect the Knicks to apply for a trade.

This made the Kings very happy. Although the Knicks are only willing to pay a second-round pick and some cash, it is better than laying off directly.

According to the view of the Kings management, as long as the Knicks pay part of the cash, they dare to trade Hassan directly. They did not expect to get an extra draft pick.

Therefore, this guy can be regarded as omitting his later experience in history, but now Hassan still has a sloppy attitude.

However, the good news is that at least this guy didn't miss the best training period like in history.

Historically, I could only play in the subordinate teams of nbdl. Later, I also came to Jin Qiang in Shu Province and Tongxi in Suzhou Province. Hassan Whiteside, who can only be mixed in the lower leagues, missed the critical training period.

Especially after experiencing the tempering of nbl singles, it is necessary to re-learn how to do pick-and-rolls in different situations, how to seek cooperation, and so on.

To tell you the truth, recently I have been using reading to catch up, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, both Android and Apple~www.innread.com~ In history, if the Heat have enough patience, at least he will not carry his back in his career. A technically crude title.

"It's okay, I don't expect him to play this season, and I don't need him with Hayes at the moment, but Rashid, you have to help me train him, I know you will have a way!"

Lian Dao then dug a hole for Rasheed Wallace.

"Asshole, you know how to cheat me. However, this guy's physical fitness is still very good. His height, jumping, and especially his wingspan are very good. He is 7 feet 7 inches. He is trained to be a gatekeeper."

"It's just that this guy's lazy personality and incredible self-confidence remind me of a player."

"who?"

"Marcus Camby!"

Lian Dao was immediately happy.

Come on, Rasheed Wallace was right.

Hassan Whiteside is a bit like a sophomore in middle school, always a little blind and self-confident.

Whiteside compared himself to KG during the draft, and felt like David Robinson or Mourning in later interviews.

And more similar to Marcus Camby, Hassan Whiteside basically rarely leaves the penalty area. He specializes in squatting in the penalty area to harvest rebounds, and is obsessed with statistics, especially blocks.

In later generations, 80% of his blocks were flying blocks to cover the weak side, relying on his amazing 7-foot-7 wingspan and the impressive physical talent inherited from the nl athlete father.

Many of his blocked shots have amazing visual effects, but his personal defense is sparse and ordinary. For ball-handling technical insiders, such as Bosh, his defense is rarely effective.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his low golf quotient and rough skills.
