Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 391 Who dares to say they have a scoring disadvantage now?
It's not just the sun that's happy.

As the new season began and training camps started, joy filled the entire league.

During this period, all the head coaches of all teams have been praising their team's core players the most.

Then, inevitably, he'll say something like, "When the new season comes, we'll do this and that."

The weaker teams are boasting that the playoffs are within reach.

The strong teams are already showing a bit of the "emperors take turns, next year it's my turn" attitude.

However, despite the loud slogans, the actual performance during the preseason was all talk and no action.

The key players have very little playing time, and even when they do play, they don't play much.

This has left many media outlets baffled.

Especially Howard.

This super talent, predicted by almost all media outlets to be the next Kwame Brown, only played two preseason games, appearing for a total of 23 minutes.

The efficiency was amazing; they scored 25 points.

But that was all; like a woman playing the pipa with her face half-hidden, she showed a little bit of herself and then immediately hid herself away.

This is also related to Tang Sen.

At the end of training camp, Tang Sen sent an email to all teams with some advice.

That is, after a whole summer of hard training, some players even played in the Olympics, so we can use this month of preseason games to give them a rest and adjust their form.

Tang Sen even included a training plan to help him adjust his condition.

If we don't use this month to adjust our form and then play a full season, it would mean two seasons without any long rest.

Your body will feel very tired.

A month is enough time for them to adjust.

Clearly, the teams adopted Tang Sen's advice, so the star players who participated in the training camp hardly played any preseason games.

Everyone's just waiting for the regular season to start.

11 month 2 number.

After a month-long vacation in Europe with Harmon, Tang Sen returned to New York.

The new season is about to begin.

For the Knicks, there is another important event: awarding the championship rings.

Tang Sen also has it.

Unlike his time with the Magic, Townsend won the championship with the Knicks as their head trainer, and that championship ring is definitely a must-have.

Madison was as lively as a carnival that day.

Starting that afternoon, numerous celebrations were organized around Madison.

One of the most important parts was the unveiling of the Knicks' statue.

Dolan had previously promised that if the team won the championship with a perfect record, he would erect a statue of him in the plaza outside Madison Square Garden.

A group portrait, with all the players sculpted and permanently placed in front of Madison Square Garden, so that all New York fans can remember this great season.

Because of this event, Tang Sen arrived in Madison ahead of time.

“Scott, tell me the truth, isn’t the statue ugly?” Tang Sen couldn’t help but ask Leiden.

The original plan was to sculpt only the player.

But the plan was later changed, reportedly at the suggestion of Redenty.

Speaking of such a great season, the role of owner Dolan is indispensable, so Dolan should be included as well.

This suggestion struck a chord with Dolan.

Since Dolan has already included it, shouldn't Leiden reluctantly include it as well?

Then since they've already put Layden in, shouldn't they also put Tangsen, the biggest contributor to the Knicks' rise, in as well?

By the way, Carlisle should also be released.

Fortunately, there were too many people, otherwise a bunch of teaching assistants and trainers would have had to be put in.

But with so many people, and it's still a bronze statue, Tang Sen has seen the bronze statues that NBA teams erect for their legends, and some of them are honestly really ugly, not like the real people at all.

Therefore, the thought of such an ugly statue being permanently placed outside Madison made Tang Sen feel a little uncomfortable.

Leiden quickly shook his head: "How could that be, Tang? Don't worry, I saw it with my own eyes. James spent a lot of money, it's definitely not ugly."

Tang Sen thought to himself that this was for the best.

That afternoon, all the players gathered together.

Then, amidst cheers from the fans, the curtain covering the giant statue was torn off.

The first one that stands out is Yao Ming, who is clearly superior.

He raised his arm, maintaining a hook-like motion.

Upon seeing his appearance, Tang Sen felt a wave of dizziness.

If you don't look closely, it's a completely different person.

Sure enough, when Tang Sen saw his own image amidst the players, he couldn't help but gasp.

Harmon, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing and jokingly asked Tang Sen where he was and why he couldn't see him.

"do not talk."

Tang Sen could barely bear to watch, and couldn't help but think that Dolan had definitely been tricked again. And Leiden, were you watching something fake, or were you blind?

However, the players present were all quite satisfied.

Several players even went up and posed for funny photos with their own bronze statues.

Fortunately, the championship ring provided some solace for Tang Sen.

Dolan didn't take any money from the NBA; he paid for it himself and had a huge championship ring made.

It was glittering and studded with tiny diamonds.

And the most eye-catching thing, besides the Knicks logo, is the number 98.

This marks the Knicks' historic undefeated championship win.

The presentation of the championship rings brought the atmosphere to its peak tonight.

In particular, when Yao Ming spoke, he pointed to the stands and said that one ring was far from enough, which ignited the passion of all the New York fans.

The cheers of the dynasty echoed throughout Madison.

Yao Ming raised his right hand, adorned with his championship ring, declaring his ambition as the King of New York.

Even Tang Sen was caught up in the atmosphere.

This is the Knicks, the ultimate boss in the league.

Today, they will face their first challenger for the Knicks.

The Nets.

Across from the bench, the Nets players were already eagerly awaiting their turn.

Kidd, in particular, looked at Yao Ming's dazzling championship ring with longing in his eyes.

"Guys, let's get on the field."

Lawrence Frank called on everyone to get ready.

After a moment's hesitation, Frank looked at Mourning and reminded him to be careful.

Last season, Mourning underwent a kidney transplant.

As a result, he forced his way back this season and even demanded to start.

Frank respected him from the bottom of his heart, but couldn't help but remind him to be careful.

Be careful of yourself, and be careful of your opponents.

On the other side is Yao Ming.

“I understand.” Mo Ning patted his chest, showing no fear on his face.

It is an honor to be able to compete against a top player like Yao Ming.

Frank said no more, took a deep breath, glanced around at everyone one last time, and ushered them all onto the field.

The 04-05 season officially began.

Yao Ming leaped and snatched the basketball.

The Knicks' starting lineup remains unchanged.

Yao Ming, still seething with anger after the Olympic defeat, immediately asked for the ball.

The ball was lobbed in.

Mourning held off Yao Ming with all his might.

But it didn't work.

The differences in weight, physique, and strength are enormous.

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming made a slight feint and then scored with a hook shot.

Mourning leaped up to block, but it had no effect whatsoever.

The next moment, the Nets quickly inbounded the ball, and the team immediately launched an attack.

Kidd took the lead.

As he advanced, he quickly glanced at the situation on the field.

The Knicks got back on defense very quickly.

The defending champions are no joke.

Seeing that Billups wasn't keeping up, Kidd made a sudden stop near the three-point line, letting Billups pass, pulled back, and pulled up for a shot.

He practiced his drop shot diligently all summer.

As the person leaps to the side, the ball is already lifted and released from their hand.

Billups didn't have time to react at all with that speed.

Swish.

The basketball goes hollow into the net.

Billups was startled. Was this some kind of joke? Was this really the same Kidd he knew?
At this moment, Kidd was so excited that he just wanted to roar to the sky.

Finally, I've got three points too.

Then who will dare to say they have poor scoring ability?
