Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 431 Get it done quickly

In this draft, some first-round picks can actually be traded. The key is whether the Knicks have the right chips.

The Knicks quickly asked around, and it was the Mavericks who had a better chance of making a deal, because they didn't want this year's No. 13 pick at all.

They want good guards and big men, but the No. 13 pick can't be changed at all.

Zhang Sixin originally wanted to exchange future draft picks with the Mavericks, but they are not the only ones eyeing the Mavericks pick.

So he immediately made a decision and added Iman Shumpert, a potential player.

In the Knicks, Shumpert is indeed a player with more potential, with good physical fitness and excellent defense.

If the Knicks hadn't won Green, Zhang Sixin would also be interested in cultivating him, so it would be unnecessary now.

For such a player, Mavericks coach Carlisle still prefers it.

So the Knicks and the Mavericks quickly reached an agreement. The Knicks used next year's first round plus Shumpert in exchange for the Mavericks' No. 13 pick and second round pick this year.

Then the Knicks used the second-round pick from the Mavericks to replace Chris Middleton, who was not valued by the Pistons. By this time, Zhang Sixin's operation was almost done.

On the day of the draft, there were no surprises. The Knicks used the No. 13 pick to win this year's most promising rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo. The two core players of the Bucks in the future were taken away by Zhang Sixin.

For newcomers with relatively low difficulty, Zhang Sixin would feel sorry for himself if he didn't grab it.

Then the Knicks' No. 24 pick was still in hand, and Rudy Gobert was naturally chosen.

This guy is good at defense and can be used for two years. Zhang Sixin's future plans are not for him, because next year there will be a fat guy who is easier to get and stronger.

After the draft, Dell Curry looked far less talented than his brother, and Seth Curry, who was injured, was brought to New York by Zhang Sixin.

Dell Curry is delighted to finally have a son starting his career in New York.

On JR-Smith's side, the Knicks and the Nuggets combined and came to a mutual signing.

The Knicks casually sent the best sixth man to the Nuggets in exchange for the old team Corey Brewer and a second round next year.

The Nuggets did not keep Iguodala, and it feels good to get a scoring advantage from the bench. The price is only to help sign and replace Brewer, who would have left. The price of a second round is very worthwhile.

In fact, the Knicks definitely have other options, but Zhang Sixin doesn't need many players.

The Knicks will not have such a fierce three-pointer next season. The team will focus on defense, so he is willing to send away three-pointers who do not have much independent scoring ability, but will win Brewer's defensive panacea.

Brewer was a nice transition before Alphabet Song grew up.

Compared with using other people, it would be more at ease to use the old subordinate Zhang Sixin.

In this case, the Knicks' lineup for the new season is complete.

In addition, Zhang Sixin also signed two old subordinates, because it was relatively cheap, they signed directly and did not cause any movement. They were Sun Yue and Ah Lian.

After being trained by Zhang Sixin, the two are already much stronger than in the original history. The Knicks can use them next season, and they can also be used to attract Hua Guo fans, killing two birds with one stone.

After Zhang Sixin became the head coach of the national team, he actually hoped that more Chinese players would come to exercise.

He just came to the Knicks this season, and he still needs to consolidate. The national team is also there, so there is no operation for the time being. From next season, he will ask the Basketball Association to help with some operations, so that more people can come to the NBA to improve their strength. In this way, it will be relatively easy for him to lead the national team.

The Knicks quickly cut through the messy lineup for the new season, and the outside world was only slightly amazed.

Because the Knicks already had some stars, not a poor team like the Timberwolves.

And big cities also attract players, many people are willing to come, but Zhang Sixin chose more acquaintances.

What is a bit confusing is the draft. Why are they all European players, and they are all so thin, can they really play in the NBA?
Fortunately, Zhang Sixin, the league's strongest head coach for training newcomers, everyone still chooses to believe.

The slightly controversial one is JR-Smith, because this buddy played really well last season, and the Knicks' excellent record in the regular season is due to him.

The best sixth man is just like that, Brewer's strength is far behind.

Some people questioned it, and some people understood that Zhang Sixin didn't like stabbing.

Of course, Zhang Sixin ignored everything. He returned to China to prepare for his first test as the head coach of the national team and went to the Asian Championships.

The national team is still a big brother in Asia, but after Dayao retired, his strength was also affected.

The key is the national team's style of play, habitually handing the ball to the inside, with fewer and fewer changes.

Originally, in history, the national team created the worst record in this Asian Championship, only ranking fifth, and lost the qualification for next year's World Cup.

With Zhang Sixin leading the team, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.

For this training camp, according to his request, the list was expanded several times, and a large number of young seedlings were recruited.

Among them are players from the youth team, such as Zhou Qi who just led the team to win the best record in the national team's World Youth Championship.

There are many players, Zhang Sixin is to use this training camp to help them grow.

This is not just talking casually, the people who cheat are so confident.

In addition, it is also to allow more players to help him level up.

The tasks on the players will not always be cleared. After the main lineup of the Timberwolves is clarified, it will become more and more difficult for Zhang Sixin to upgrade.

If you change teams, you will definitely have to do a wave, and it is the same in the national team.

Helping some players improve while clearing tasks is also the basis for him to lead the national team in the future.

Huge training team, huge coaching staff.

People in the domestic circle lamented that NBA champion coaches are big names.

However, no one dares to mess around, and many players and domestic coaches also hope to learn from Zhang Sixin.

Dell Curry, as a member of the coaching staff, came earlier than Zhang Sixin.

And shooting is an item that Zhang Sixin pays special attention to, no matter where he is.

Physical training, which is more popular with domestic coaches, has been going on all the time.

When Zhang Sixin greeted the big training team for the first time, he said: "The most basic thing in basketball is shooting. If you think I will bring some magic tricks to improve everyone's combat effectiveness at once, then it is a pity that the United States also pays attention to basic training."

"Following, shooting training is still the top priority. Your shooting will be the main reference item for me to make the final roster. The other two main reference items are team offense and team defense. This time in the Asian Championships, we will not have any star tactics."
