Chapter 59

As soon as the finals were over, the general managers of the 76 teams in the NBA, including the Philadelphia 29ers, issued a surprisingly consistent order: Bring Zhao Ke back to me!
However, after the championship parade, Zhao Ke seemed to have disappeared from the world. No one could be found, and he didn't answer the phone (not even the 76ers general manager Billy King, let alone other people). Zhao Ke had no agent, which made 29 general managers blind.

Zhao Ke's performance in the last moments of Game 76 of the Finals was absolutely phenomenal, but the stingy 50ers uniform team only gave Zhao Ke $[-] to sign to the end of the season.

Are you okay now?Can't find it?
For the general managers of the other 28 teams, as long as Zhao Ke didn't renew his contract with the 76ers, he should be happy. You deserve it for making you blind!
Now, Zhao Ke actually signed with the New York Knicks.

The others also stopped, and a private detective was sent to look for them, and they quickly called them back.

Looking at it this way, the Knicks' previous crazy cleaning also makes sense.

But did the Knicks play too big?

Looking at this situation, the New York Knicks are preparing to train Zhao Ke as the only core.But no matter how miraculous his performance in the last 47 seconds of the finals, Zhao Ke is just a first-year rookie who played no more than 10 minutes last season.Is his ability just a flash in the pan?Still need the test of time.It has to be said that it is a big gamble to clean the team hastily and determine the core of the team!

New York Knicks fans are blown away...

Fire Scott Rydon, they put up with it, after all, this is also a brain damage.He sent away the "King of New York" Patrick Ewing, which is a crime, but what is even more infuriating is that he returned a pile of garbage, which led to the rapid decline of the Knicks after Ewing left.

They also endured the welcome of Patrick Ewing, and they won the support of most non-"barrel" fans. The Knicks have Ewing and are a finals-level team. Without Ewing, they are a contender for the playoffs. The gap is too big.

The team was cleaned up, the "barbarians" scolded happily, and other fans remained calm.Such a pure cleansing is clearly a precursor to the arrival of big names!Could it be Michael Jordan who just came back?
Just thinking about it makes me happy!

However, the ideal is plump, but the reality is too skinny, right?
What about Michael Jordan?

What about God, what do you mean by getting a 47-second God?
All the fans started attacking James Brainless Dolan and Isaiah Spy Thomas crazily. Let's see what they have made the team together!

Zhao Ke was not spared, the aura of the finals is still there, but it doesn't work, the fans are forgetful, now they need a Jordan to save the fallen New York Knicks, and Zhao Ke is not!

Furious New York fans are ready to tell this rookie to "get out of New York"!
Zhao Ke was not angry. From being a guardian of a water dispenser to a magical beast, Zhao Ke's mentality was very low. He was going to read the songbook on a donkey—wait and see!
The commotion outside was in full swing. In the office, head coach Jeff Van Gundy and assistant coach Tom Thibodeau were scratching their bald heads (both hairlines were on the back), staring at a piece of paper trying to see a flower. Here is their preliminary list of players:

Point guards: Chauncey Billups, Mark Jackson, Chris Childs
Shooting Guard: Zhao Ke, Gerald Wallace
Small forwards: Ron Artest, Corey Maggette
Power forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Chris Anderson, Larry Johnson

Centers: Ben Wallace, Patrick Ewing, Matt Geiger, Felton Spencer
There is nothing to say about Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, and Ron Artest starting. They have already played a stable performance. "Parallel importers" Chauncey Billups and Zhao Ke are a little uncertain, but the boss took special care of them.

"How about calling first?"

“Give it a try in preseason!”

On October 2001, 10, Zhao Ke walked into the "basketball mecca" Madison Square Garden for the first time, feeling uneasy.

He came to seize the top spot, but his only ally, Matt Geiger, was still lying in the hospital, his fists were hard to beat, what should he do?
Looking around, Patrick Ewing, Mark Jackson, Chris Childs, Larry Johnson, Filton Spencer, five "old men" were sitting on the sidelines chatting with head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

They are about the same age as Jeff Van Gundy. Van Gundy is not going to toss these old men who can't run and are prone to injuries. Their role is a bit like a part-time assistant coach.

Its eight all-big, muscular men were practicing shooting with Tom Thibodeau.

Zhao Ke hurried over, shook hands with head coach Jeff Van Gundy, and hugged five old men in turn.After accepting the "gorilla"'s head-touching kill, Zhao Ke ran over to shake hands with the assistant coach and say hello.

Then, Zhao Ke went straight to Rasheed Wallace, "Wallace, let's fight the bull!"

Last season, Rasheed Wallace averaged 19.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game for the Trail Blazers. He led the team in scoring, blocks, playing time and field goal percentage.Being traded to the New York Knicks this time, Rasheed Wallace thought he was coming to be the boss, but a Zhao Ke came out halfway!
Now Zhao Ke, a rookie, dares to challenge this cornerstone?
Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it!
Rasheed Wallace Wallace snarled at Zhao Ke: "Boy, do you know what you are talking about? I will tear you apart!"

Among the eight people on the opposite side, Billups has been wearing the hat of "parallel importer" for three years. It is good to be a starter. He will not participate in the battle for the top spot.

Gerald Wallace is a rookie, has no right to speak, and walks on thin ice everywhere.

Kurt Thomas and Corey Maggette are already two screws. They are ups and downs between the main force and the backup. It is good to be able to play. What kind of bicycle do you want?

If Ron Artest, the second pole, is encouraged, he will probably jump out.But his status in the arena is too low, and he has no deterrent effect if he wins.

As for Chris Anderson, his presence is too low, everyone is curious how he was discovered by the general manager and signed...

The last boss, Ben Wallace.Big Ben is really passionate on the court, but in fact, he majored in criminology in college, and his hobby is haircutting...

This kind of strong sense of disharmony between the soul and the body, Zhao Ke didn't know what to do, so he was going to let it go.

So, challenge Rasheed Wallace?

Zhao Ke smiled faintly, "Rashid, come here and challenge me one-on-one!"

Rasheed Wallace immediately exploded, hey, I have a bad temper, does anyone care, this kid is going to heaven!
