"Squeak"

…… Who?

When the doors of the training ground were pushed open, most of the Kings players were still doing their own practice, not noticing this small detail on the side of the court.

The team training center is open to many people. Although in order to ensure that the tactics will not be leaked in advance, for secrecy reasons, most of the staff are not allowed to enter casually.

But the coaching staff, trainers, nutritionists, team management, etc., can come and go at will.

In addition to the players, there are quite a few people who come in and out of the training centre every day, and sometimes in cooperation with TV or other media, it is not unusual for journalists and cameramen to enter the training ground. So during the training process, someone pushes the door in, which is commonplace and doesn't attract everyone's attention.

"Pass one pass one!"

"your own!"

On the field, the players were still joking with each other and practicing the ball.

Only two people noticed this small detail.

"Coach......

Tyrek Evans is worried about Cousins' future, and the future of the team. Before he could raise the basketball in his hand, he heard the sound of the door being opened.

Looking back, there was obviously more than one person outside the door, and the shadow dragged by the sunlight had already poked into the training ground, but the person had not yet entered.

In this case, it is generally a "guest" or "leader" who has arrived.

Because if it's an acquaintance of everyone, just push the door and come in, and you won't wait at the door and hesitate.

And if there is a guest, then you have to be accompanied by the team staff to help open the door in advance, guide, and wait for the guest to enter the field, which is polite.

It's the same with leadership.

So...... Who could it be?

Before the seventh game of the playoffs is about to begin, who will be the people who will come to the training ground?

"I'm telling you, I'm sure I'm going to score again in the next game. Do you know why? Because they will definitely guard against their cousins and sons, and when the time comes, I will have a lot of room to shoot...... Huh? Someone is coming, I won't tell you in vain! ”

"Smack!"

Gu Yu glanced at the door, looked at the time again, and found that the minimum time required for today's live broadcast had arrived, so he directly closed the screen without mercy.

“…… Look, if I don't invite you, you'll be there?? ”

Outside the door, someone was talking.

"Huh...... Don't laugh at me......"

Listening to the voices, one is Westphal and the other is undoubtedly......

"Ahem...... Let's stop! ”

By the door, Westphal finally poked his head out, looked at the players and said loudly: "Stop for a warm-up in your hands, there are distinguished guests!" ”

Guest......?

In Gu Yu's mind, a name appeared.

"Dad...... Uh, Gu, could it be ......? ”

Evans and Gu Yu looked at each other, and obviously thought of the same name.

"Who, who?"

It is rare for the players to see Westphal introduce someone into the field in such a serious way, and they are all a little curious and come forward one after another.

"Come on, come on, you go in!"

Outside the door, Westphal retracted his head and talked to the man again.

"Uh...... You're going to go in first......?? ”

The man was visibly a little shy.

"What's the matter! It's not that I haven't seen you, they all know you! ”

Westphaal is still in Hara.

"But it'...... Eh! ”

Before the other party finished speaking, Westphal started with a push, and a tall figure among ordinary people stumbled into the training ground.

This is......

"Bernard King?!!

The players exclaimed, and many people couldn't believe their eyes, and their faces were full of surprise.

You know, the last time Bernard King saw the Kings, there were still a lot of people on the team who didn't come!

Rookie players such as Isaiah Thomas, as well as Hayes and others who were later traded, have never seen the living king of New York, and the surprise in their hearts is about to explode at this time.

In their eyes, Bernard King, that is Carmelo Anthony of that era. Although there is no championship honor, it is not an all-time superstar at the level of MVP candidates every year. But it has a super tough power that is far beyond its current fame, and it belongs to the type that fans are not familiar with, and the ball critics do not take it seriously, but the players are particularly respected.

If the time is fast-forward twenty or thirty years from now, Anthony and Paul in the league today, and retired Kidd, Nash and others will probably be this type of star.

"It's really Bernard King! King of New York, it's an honor to see you again! ”

Of course, there are also many friends who have seen Bernard King before, and when they see that an old acquaintance is coming, they immediately say hello.

That's right, Bernard King is indeed an acquaintance of many people in the team, and he has met him once before and has given you a lot of useful advice.

To be honest, Westphal, as the coach of the team, must have a lot of vision and ability than most players. But the reason why Westphal cannot be called a famous coach is that he has his own set of ideas in tapping potential and overall tactical thinking. However, in terms of the future development of individual players and the transformation of technical characteristics, it is a little lackluster.

Coaches in the league are generally divided into two categories. One is the same as Westfaal, who mainly controls the team's overall tactics and lacks personal technical guidance.

On the other hand, there is exactly Brooks, who has a knack for the development of individual players and can always find the most suitable future route for players. However, the team's overall tactical layout ability is not good enough, resulting in the team clearly having championship-level strength, but it is always unable to play to the limit.

In addition to these two, the third type of coach is amazing, and he can arrange tactics, win over the team, and allow players to maximize their potential, and make future development plans for everyone, and the team can maintain its longevity all year round, a bug.

A coach who can reach this level, I'm afraid that there is only Zhuge Vic in the league now. The cardinal in history is also one of the best. Even Phil Jackson, a Zen master with 11 rings in his hand, is a coach who focuses on individual players and relies more on assistant coaches and systems tactically.

It is quite appropriate for a coach like Westphall to lead a team with superstars, which is already quite impressive, but has no system. His tactical vision, his rotation formulation, can quickly pinch a team and maximize the output at the current level of ability.

For example, the combination of Buckley and Kevin Johnson, which he once led, is a typical example.

Originally, if Westfair could be paired with an assistant coach who is good at guiding the player's personal development, the Kings will definitely be able to go further. But the king's chief assistant coach, Carlil, is also a coach who is good at arranging tactics, to put it bluntly, he is an academy, you let him guide Gu Yu on how to go in the future, it is better for Gu Yu to explore and study it himself......

Knowing that he had this flaw, Westphal found that his old friend seemed to have a very unique vision for the future direction of the player's development after contacting Bernard King for the first time. Since then, Westphal has been calling his old friend from time to time, making all sorts of verbal fuss, hoping that his old friend will come and help him.

It's a pity that Bernard King's personality has become too shy after the drinking incident, not to mention letting him come to the team as an assistant coach, even if he is asked to go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, he will feel embarrassed.

No matter how Westphal fools, the king of New York just doesn't get set, which makes the old man very helpless.

But just a day ago, before the sixth game between the King and the Thunder began, Westphall actually received a call from Bernard King, and everything seemed to have taken a new turn.

"Yo! Bernard!! ”

As soon as Gu Yu saw the King of New York, he felt very cordial, and immediately waved his hand and said hello: "Come and drink??" ”

"Haha...... B52, you're still so humorous. ”

Bernard King hadn't forgotten the nickname he gave Gu Yu, nodded with a smile, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he took the initiative to step to Gu Yu's side and said, "Have you seen the video I sent you last time?" ”

"Look!"

Gu Yu nodded heavily and said, "Damn, the physical contact of your era is really fierce to look at!" ”

"Haha, huh?"

Bernard King nodded with satisfaction: "So our score is very high!" ”

"! At that time, the number of rounds was so *** ace was so high, and the score was not small, I thought I didn't know! ”

Gu Yu waved his hand, with a half-joking disdain.

I'm ......!

Hearing that Gu Yu was so rude to the King of New York, Little Thomas, the Lonely God and the others were about to drop their jaws.

This, this, this...... Why is my cousin so polite!!

This is the king of New York, but he is the super scorer in the history of the NBA!

Ordinary players see such a historical star coming, and they can't kneel and lick it, for fear that people won't give them a good look. My cousin opened his mouth to be a "fart", and he also questioned the gold content of the score that people are proud of??

This is a typical death!

"Cousin......"

Thinking so, little Thomas stepped forward, swallowed his saliva and said, "That...... The New York Kings have a very high scoring value because he hasn't had enough scorers to partner with for most of his career......"

"Hahahaha...... You're right, B52! ”

Who knows, Bernard Kim didn't care, he didn't feel angry at all about Gu Yu's words, but nodded with a smile: "There is indeed moisture, I admit it, I admit it!" ”

"I@#¥%&......"

Little Thomas swallowed the second half of his sentence directly back into his stomach.

This Bernard King doesn't play cards according to the routine, ah......!

"But you questioned the gold content of my score in front of so many people......"

Bernard King smiled and stretched out his finger to the stunned little Thomas and the others, looked at Gu Yu and said, "I won't teach you my real tricks......!" ”
