Strongest defender

Chapter 011 It turned out to be him "Oh, Liang, you are really good. When our head coach comes back, I will definitely introduce you to him. I believe you will find your own advantages in our Knicks and play your own Powerful." Liang Xiao listened to Doug calling himself "Liang", but without the standard pronunciation, it became "Mother". One step further. "Liang, you go over there to do some warm-up exercises first, you wait a while, the head coach Jeff is coming." Doug pointed to a hut by the side of the field, and then chatted with Bob again, it seems that this The relationship between Bob and the heads of the Knicks is really unusual.

Liang Xiao walked into the training room, found the most commonly used warm-up bike and started riding. He didn't care what the people around him thought of him, and waited for the arrival of the head coach with peace of mind. After all, a team's head coach takes up most of the words.After about half an hour, the pullover on his body was full of heat, and the sweat on his head continued to flow down. It felt almost done. Liang Xiao got off the bicycle and walked to the sidelines to get a bottle of drink. "It's really different here, everything is equipped."

At this time, a slightly thin middle-aged man walked into the arena, with deep-set eyes and a high nose. The most impressive thing is that there is not much hair on the long and thin face, and the baldness does not make this man look old. On the contrary, it made him look more imposing.When the players in the stadium saw this person coming in, the frequency of the basketball hitting the floor was obviously accelerated, and their footsteps were faster, especially those new players who came here worked harder.

Suddenly I heard an assistant coach enter Liang Xiao's warm-up room and say that the head coach has arrived, so he hurriedly got up and went out.

Walking to the door and seeing a person talking to assistant coach Doug and scout Bob, Liang Xiao couldn't help calling out in his heart, "It turned out to be him, Jeff Van Gundy, how could it be possible?" Seeing this later generation constantly on the sidelines The coach who yelled turned out to be the coach of the New York Knicks.Because in Liang Xiao's memory, this person is imprinted in his mind just like Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. During Dayao's time with the Rockets, Tianchao TV seldom missed the Rockets' games, so Van Gundy couldn't forget it.

"No, it seems that my fate is not guaranteed yet. This guy doesn't like new players very much. The European mvp Spanoulis of the later generations is a proof!" Seeing that Van Gundy is the coach of the Knicks, Liang smiled. I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart.

What Liang Xiao didn’t know was that Van Gundy coached the Knicks for six seasons. Van Gundy studied under Nelson. In the 95-96 season, Nelson left the Knicks. As an assistant coach, Van Gundy took over the coaching whip. Under the leadership of Bald Fan, he made it to the playoffs every season, but he never won the championship position. The only time he went the farthest was the Eastern Conference champion.What Liang Xiao doesn't even know is that in the 02-03 season, Van Gundy was fired by the Knicks with a record of 15 wins and 01 losses.Although Van Gundy did not win a championship in six seasons with the Knicks, he must be said to be an excellent coach. He is the fourth coach in Knicks history to win more than 02 victories.Although the overly conservative tactical concept has been criticized, the offensive strategy does not have much advantage, and he is not good at winning with odds, but he is one of the best defensive coaches in the league.In the just-concluded season, under the leadership of Bald Fan, the Knicks reached the playoffs for No. 86.1 consecutive seasons, setting a record for the team.In these seasons, the Knicks in the 41.7-11 season only let their opponents get a league-low 11 points and a 1% shooting percentage. In the 21 consecutive games from November 33 to January 79.6, the opponents failed to break the mark. Hundred, which also set a league record, and the Knicks' [-]% free throw percentage is also the highest in the league. It has to be said that under the leadership of Bald Fan, the Knicks played the league's iron-blooded defense.

"Liang, come here." Bob waved to Liang Xiao who was standing in the distance, and Liang Xiao, who was stunned there for a while, reacted, and ran to them in three steps at a time.

"Liang, this is the head coach of our Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy, Jeff, this is the Chinese guy I told you about with amazing jumping, Liang Xiao." Doug introduced Liang Xiao to Bald Fan, "Oh , your Chinese is really difficult." Doug, who said Liang Xiao's name very awkwardly, shook his hands and complained.

"Hi, it's so nice to meet you, I see you often, I'm so excited." Holding Van Gundy's hand, Liang Xiao was a little incoherent.

"I often see me, do you always watch the Knicks?" Van Gundy was a little puzzled when he heard Liang Xiao's words.

"Oh no, this is my first time in America, I mean I see you on TV all the time."

"Really, Knicks games are often broadcast in China?" In Van Gundy's mind, only the giant panda and the Great Wall impressed him the most. Hearing Liang Xiao's words, he wondered if the Knicks were in China. So popular.

"Yes, yes..." If Liang Xiao said a few words, he would definitely reveal his secrets. I can't say that I always saw you shouting loudly on the sidelines of the Rockets before.In fact, before Dayao entered the NBA, the ratings of the NBA in China were definitely not as amazing as they were later, let alone the Knicks, who knew where they were.

Seeing the smiling Liang Xiao, Van Gundy touched his big nose and said, "Okay, let's put other things aside first, and let's see what kind of surprise you can bring us." Said After saying this, Liang Xiao was asked to change into a dark gray training suit.

After a while, Van Gundy clapped his hands a few times and said to the players on the field: "Hey, guys, stop what you're doing and come here."

There were about 20 Knicks in total, wearing orange and dark gray training uniforms, they all stopped what they were doing, walked up to the head coach and stood up.

"Liang, come up." Van Gundy called Liang with a smile in front of everyone, "Guys, let me introduce to you, this is a young man from far away China. There are still two weeks to go, and the preseason is about to start. I I hope everyone can show their strengths. Liang, tell everyone about yourself."

Liang Xiao looked at a white black man in front of him. He was still a little nervous at first, so he couldn't help calming down, "Never mind, who knows who, these black people all look the same." "Hi everyone, my name is Liang Xiao, and I'm from China. , here, I am not guarding the water dispenser, nor here to make soy sauce, I just want to stand on Madison Square Garden and hear the fans shouting my name."
