NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 169 Hassan Whiteside

Andrew's mansion:

"Ahem, I want to interview this gentleman. How does it feel to be called a comparable opponent by the seniors in the industry?" Taylor saw Kobe's interview through his mobile phone, stretched out his hand that was made into a "microphone" and asked Andrew. road.

If the girlfriend makes trouble again, as a boyfriend, he has no choice but to cater to it.

"It's a great honor." Andrew replied.

Taylor: (⊙_⊙)?
"That's it?"

"Gone!"

Taylor: "." Taylor was so angry that he couldn't help slapping Andrew, and then Taylor complained: "Didn't you say so little in the post-match interview? Did the female reporter interview after the game look prettier and better than me? Woo Woohoo."

Before Taylor could finish speaking, Andrew directly blocked Taylor's mouth with his mouth, otherwise, Taylor didn't know when to speak.

After a long time, Andrew let go of Taylor, and Taylor gasped heavily.

Suddenly Andrew remembered something, and asked with a smile on his face, "I heard you are a Kobe fan?" That's right, Taylor is indeed a Kobe fan, and was called the most beautiful fan by Kobe fans.

An interesting thing happened in the previous life. When Taylor held a concert in Los Angeles and invited Kobe as a guest, Kobe’s daughter went to the backstage and asked Taylor excitedly, which guest was invited tonight, but Taylor said with a smile: You dad.

For a moment, Kobe's daughter didn't smile at all, why is she a father?
Taylor reacted very quickly: "That was before, but now I'm your fan."

Andrew is very satisfied with Taylor's behavior of climbing the wall. Next time he meets Kobe, he must show it off in front of him.

"What about you? Who is your favorite female singer? Britney Spears, Adele Adkins or Rihanna?" Taylor deliberately did not mention her name.

It's impossible to frame me!

Andrew replied calmly: "My favorite female singer is Taylor Swift."

As soon as Andrew finished speaking, Taylor showed a bright smile on his face, and then Taylor offered his own kiss, and the two were entangled together again. After a while, the room made a sound that was not suitable for children.

After Andrew sent Taylor to the airport the next day, he went to join the big team.

"Go!" Coach Mike D'Antoni boarded the plane first, followed by other New York Knicks players.

Next is the road trip of the New York Knicks, and the opponent Sacramento Kings in the first stop.

At 1 pm on January 1st, the Golden One Arena in Sacramento will host the New York Knicks VS Sacramento Kings.

During the warm-up, Andrew couldn't help looking at the Sacramento Kings warm-up players on the other side. Such talent made Andrew a little greedy.

Isaiah Thomas is the strongest in the future 175, the king of the last quarter!
In the previous life, Isiah Thomas was traded to the Boston Celtics in 2015, and the peak moment of Isiah Thomas really came; Isiah Thomas was selected to the All-Star team twice in his career and the best team once.

Isiah Thomas broke many honor records at his peak. In 2016, in the game against the Heat, Thomas scored 52 points, breaking the scoring record of the shortest player in NBA history with 50+ points. Among them, he scored 29 points in the final quarter, creating team history The final score record, also known as the king of the final quarter.

Although Isiah Thomas is only 175 cm tall, his scoring ability should not be underestimated. At his peak, he averaged 28.4 points per game, ranking fourth on the season scoring list. In the 2016-17 season, Isiah Thomas averaged 9 points per game in the final quarter, ranking first in the league. In that season, he played the team's savior many times, leading the team to a desperate comeback at critical moments; Isiah Thomas can be said to be The strongest 175 players on the surface, who would have thought that a player who was about to lose in the draft period could get so many honors and break many NBA records.

Andrew couldn't help but shook his head. It's a pity that the New York Knicks don't have his position. The New York Knicks' outside line needs to be both offensive and defensive, just like Jimmy Butler. Yes, Isiah Thomas is very powerful offensively, but he is only 175cm tall. Everyone is bombed.

Even Stephen Curry, who is called "weak" by fans, is 191cm tall.

In addition to Isiah Thomas, there is another person who makes Andrew a little greedy, and that is Hassan Whiteside.

Hassan Whiteside has excellent size, strength and potential, as well as good flexibility and running and jumping talent. He is 213cm tall and has a 231cm wingspan.Whiteside's length and leaping ability make him an impressive defensive force and a formidable defensive force.Hassan Whiteside is a good rebounder who uses his length and strength well on both ends of the floor, has a passion for the game and will continue to develop with experience.

However, this character is a bit impetuous, especially after becoming famous, Hassan Whiteside completely forgot his identity as a blue-collar center, asked for tactical status, was dissatisfied with the low playing time, and so on. For this reason, he often had conflicts with Coach Spoelstra. On the court, Hassan Whiteside's style of play has also become flashy.

For example, the pick-and-roll, if he is not active, the quality is also greatly reduced. In order to score points, he always rolls down in advance; another example is the block, he only has rebounds in his eyes, and he never takes the initiative to block the position. A good teammate; finally, defense. In order to block shots, he will even deliberately give up his body position, and then jump high when the opponent is approaching the basket to shoot. Although sometimes he will send a big block shot, but more often, He could only watch the ball go into the basket.
In the end, his career was ruined because of this character.

But at this time, he has no chance to play in the Sacramento Kings at all. He only played one game last season. To be honest, the Sacramento Kings will indeed choose players, but they will not train talented players.

Suddenly Andrew had an idea, or trade this guy over, after all, his talent is there.

As for his impetuous personality, throw him out of the Development League and beat him.

After all, the insiders of the New York Knicks are indeed enough now, with Tyson Chandler as the starter and Timofey Mozgov as the substitute; if you add Hassan Whiteside, then the New York Knicks also have the top three.

After thinking about it, Andrew acted immediately, put the ball down and walked to the bench.

Mike D'Antoni: (⊙_⊙)?
"What's the matter, Andrew, is it uncomfortable?" Coach Mike D'Antoni asked quickly.

Andrew shook his head and said, "Coach, I found a good seed."

Good seed?Coach Mike D'Antoni looked at Andrew with puzzled eyes.

Andrew leaned into Coach Mike D'Antoni's ear and said, "Coach, the King's second-year rookie Hassan Whiteside."

After Mike D'Antoni heard it, he immediately asked the assistant coach for information about Hassan Whiteside.

When seeing the height and wingspan, coach Mike D'Antoni couldn't help being a little surprised, this physical talent is too good.

"Coach, you can go and see his NCAA performance. If he can be traded and cultivated, it will be a great boost to our team. If he can't be cultivated, we have nothing to lose." Andrew said.

Regarding Andrew's words, head coach Mike D'Antoni nodded, then patted Andrew on the shoulder and said, "I know, you still need to focus on warming up."

Andrew immediately turned around and went back to warm up.

Mike D'Antoni couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. His lover was a scout, but the team didn't pay him a salary as a scout.

Hassan Whiteside?When you get back to New York, talk to the general manager.
