NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 28 Welcome Ceremony

Alan Houston and Chris Childs, who didn't talk much, partnered in the backcourt, and the newcomer John Wallace had a bitter face, and the three were assigned to the main side
Starks and Li You partnered in the backcourt, but this time he showed a gloating expression, he was a little unhappy with Larry Johnson's attitude.

The non-existent veteran Herb Williams was not interested in participating in the infighting, so he stopped talking after saying hello to Li You.

This kind of training game is naturally not high-intensity. In the first round, Patrick Ewing, who received the ball from the low post on the left, took a step in, jumped up in the paint and hit the frame with a hook shot.

Mengxin Walter McCarty grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Li You.

Chris Childs immediately led the defense, and Li You, who held the ball in his left hand, completed the circling behind his back and carried the opponent across the half court.

After observing the position, Li You immediately directed Larry Johnson on the left flank to cut diagonally, signaling the opponent to receive the ball at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.

Glancing at Li You, Larry Johnson reluctantly moved quickly, and the newcomer John Wallace who was facing him was nervously sticking to his side, not daring to relax a bit.

Li You, who was at the top of the arc, also began to move sideways. Before Larry Johnson was fully in place, he sent a ground pass with a flick of his wrist.

Seeing the ball approaching, Larry Johnson subconsciously sped up his pace, cut in with the ball, and found himself in the paint the moment he caught the ball, took a step forward, and then flew into the air!

Before Charles Oakley could react, Larry Johnson made a two-handed dunk!
"what!!"

There was a yell after landing, Charles Oakley was already a little upset with Larry Johnson, so he immediately stepped forward and pushed:
"Don't yell in front of me, boy, this is New York!"

Larry Johnson is not a good-tempered person either, so he stepped forward and pushed the old guy not to be outdone:
"Give me some respect, I'm not one of those rookies!"

The assistant coach on the sidelines hadn't reacted yet, the two had already twisted into a ball, and Li You, who was standing outside the three-point line, didn't step up to fight, and looked at the situation on the field with a smile.
Jeff Van Gundy saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately rushed to the field, shouting loudly at the same time:
"Hey! Stop! It's dangerous! I'm tired of logging!"

In the end, Patrick Ewing couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to pull the two apart.

Li You began to fan the flames, and Larry Johnson was facing up to the young John Wallace. Relying on his physical advantage, a simple roll cut could overwhelm the defense and rush to the basket.

After several assists with the ball, Larry Johnson no longer rejected Li You's command and movement, and almost called "really fragrant"!
But Charles Oakley wanted to teach the new aid a lesson, and his actions became bigger and bigger, and the two were completely competitive.
Alan Houston took advantage of Patrick Ewing's screen on the left near the baseline and sprinted to the left elbow of the free throw line.

Starks' defense did not catch up in time, but Li You spotted the movement behind him and suddenly blocked Chris Childs' path of the ball.

The pass was a beat slow, and after Alan Houston received the ball, Starks stuck in front of him, put the ball with his right hand and dribbled a step sideways, relying on his height advantage, and finally completed a mid-range drift from the free throw line!
"state!"

After a few possessions without touching the ball, Allan - Houston - made his first shot.

The ball just bounced into the hands of Starks, who took advantage of the opportunity to throw the ball into the hands of Li You who rushed across the center line. On the other side, Larry Johnson rushed along the right sideline.

Li You, who received the ball, noticed that Charles Oakley was quickly returning to the defense. He kept accelerating with the ball in his left hand, and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back as he approached the three-point line. The moment he switched to his right hand, he turned around sharply.

Chris Childs hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull. Li You, who was catching the ball with his left hand, suddenly lowered his center of gravity and pretended to break through.

Taking advantage of the opponent's sliding step to the right and back, Li You dribbled past the three-point line and immediately stopped.
Chris Childs was shaken out of focus and stuck in place, and Larry Johnson, who ran to the basket to catch the ball, saw the ball hollow into the net
Larry Johnson, who was in full swing, turned his head and immediately shouted at Li You:
"Damn! Rookie, pass me the ball! Alley-oop! Can't you see?"

"I'm the point guard. I have the final say on the court. What you have to do is to run obediently instead of complaining to me!"

Upon hearing Li You's words, Larry Johnson almost exploded in anger, and rushed in front of Li You aggressively.

Li You pushed away Chris Childs, who was blocking him, and walked in front of Larry Johnson:
"If you want to score easily, don't complain to me, the ball is in my hands, I have the final say!"

Seeing that the conflict was about to start, Jeff Van Gundy rushed up, quickly separated the two, and said loudly:
"Pause, take a break! Everyone stay calm!"

Charles Oakley came over and patted Li You on the shoulder at this time, and continued to whisper:
"Li, I'll cover you and give him two punches! This guy thought it was Charlotte, he's already passed away!"

The real core Patrick Ewing became a peacemaker again. He noticed that Larry Johnson looked ugly, and immediately said:

"Shet! Don't say a few words, I don't want to see the news of the team's infighting on TV!"

Lost in face, Larry Johnson glared at Li You again, and finally fell silent.

"."

The training session in the morning broke up unhappily. In the afternoon, the players practiced tactical routines with the assistant coach, and the atmosphere eased.

The anger of the black players came and went quickly, and the unhappiness in the morning was forgotten. Everyone chatted about the topic of beautiful girls, and Larry Johnson also showed a smile.
"The wonderful thing about playing in New York is that there are always hot young chicks here!"

"LJ, you have to pay attention to the media in New York! These guys report on everything, and someone will talk about it for two days if you change your hairstyle!"

Charles Oakley happily taught Larry Johnson on the side the precautions in New York, and the two had completely lost their friction.
"New York is really nice, but I have to get used to it for a while, I love the nightlife here!"

"Li, you're not old enough to drink! Next time you go to the bar, I'll order you a glass of milk!"

Larry Johnson, who was still aggressive in the morning, also began to tease Li You, showing a friendly attitude.

"Don't compare your drinking capacity with young people. When you get older, your body metabolizes more slowly. Together, you may not be my opponent!"

"WOW!"

Hearing Li You's words, Starks booed from the side:
"I swear, Li is not kidding, I admit that I am really old when it comes to drinking!"

Alan Houston was taking advantage of this rest time to appease Mengxin, and Charles Oakley ignored a few people, making everyone feel up and down
"Rookies will go through these things. When I was in Detroit, I also carried a season bag."

Hearing the comfort, John Wallace and Walter McCarty still grimaced.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Jeff Van Gundy announced the end of the training session with a heavy expression. The young coach still couldn't figure out how to use Larry Johnson.
After returning to the locker room, Charles Oakley smiled maliciously again, sat on his seat, and said loudly:
"John, Walter, in the training match in the morning, you played like shit, it's your turn to perform!"

Stretching out his legs, Charles Oakley motioned for the two to untie his shoelaces quickly. The two newcomers didn't dare to talk too much, and bent down to do it with a smile.

"Li, we have also prepared a special gift for you, I hope you will like it!"

Hearing Ewing's words, Li You shrugged and didn't care.

When everyone left the locker room and came to the parking lot after talking and laughing, Li You still didn't hold back when he saw the car was full of popcorn, cursing in a low voice:

"Damn it! Looks like I'm going to walk home!"

Seeing Li You's distressed look, Charles Oakley laughed again and shouted:
"Rookie, welcome to New York!"
