Chapter 59 The Embarrassment of Position

There is a thing called a chain reaction.

To put it simply, the entire team has changed due to the arrival of one person.

In October 2003, the week before the start of the NBA10-2003 season preseason.

The well-known defensive champion in the league, known as the African Mountain, Mutombo, who is over 37 years old, signed a two-year contract with the New York Knicks.

Officially became a member of the New York Knicks.

The addition of Dikembe Mutombo has undoubtedly raised the Knicks to a new level defensively.

Naturally, their starting lineup has changed accordingly.From the outside, it becomes more reasonable.

The Knicks' previous lineup was obviously strong offensively and weak defensively.

There is no inside defensive gate at all.

The addition of Mutombo changed that.

So their current starting lineup is.

Howard Exley,
Alan Houston,
Keith Van Horn,
Kurt Thomas,
Dikambe Mutombo,

This change may seem small, but the effect is actually very large.

I said before that Keith Van Horn is good offensively, but the defense is really not very good.
At the power forward position, he simply cannot play his best role.

But now it's fine, he doesn't have to think about the inside defense, he just needs to attack with all his strength.

And Kurt Thomas, who originally played power forward, went to play center, but it was just to catch the ducks on the shelf.

There is also no way to play his best role.So the change of position also freed up his abilities.

Plus the newly added old Dashan.

Don't look at the age, but the defense is still leveraged.

So the Knicks have been strengthened as a whole.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages, but this disadvantage is only for Wang Xiaochun.

It was reasonable to say.After Kurt Thomas went to power forward.

Wang Xiaochun's position does not need to change.

It can still be used as Mutombo's substitute.

But he's a second-round pick after all.

Even if the team is very optimistic, there is no way to use it as an instant combat power.

Keith Van Horn went to the small forward position.

Shanton Anderson, who was originally the starting small forward, became his substitute.

What does this do for first-round pick Michael Sweetney?
The team selected him with the 9th pick, is it just as a substitute for the substitute?
Certainly not such a waste of talent.

In addition, this guy's advantage as a power forward is obviously better than that of a small forward.

At least there is no problem in carrying people with his tonnage.Back body technology is also very mature.

So naturally it was pushed up.

Became Kurt Thomas' backup.

But then again.

What does this make of Osella Harrington?At any rate, they were players with the same draft as Wang Xiaochun in 96.

He also scored 7.7 points and 6.9 rebounds last season.

We can't let this veteran player who has played for the team for several seasons be a substitute for a rookie.

Even if he wants to fight, he probably has to wait until this rookie proves himself.

So Ossella Harrington, who is 2 meters tall.Naturally, he has to replace the center forward.

And in this position, it is even more impossible to substitute Wang Xiaochun.

Not only is seniority not allowed, but strength is also not allowed.

This made Wang Xiaochun's position suddenly very awkward.

Going up is a substitute's substitute, and coming down is also a substitute's substitute.

Playing time will definitely be severely affected.

But Wang Xiaochun himself doesn't care much about this influence.

"Anyway, I have a lot of money and give me a point. If there is work, we will do it, and if there is no work, we will rest."

Wang Xiaochun obviously hasn't made plans for the future in his heart, and still treats players as a job.

Besides, he thinks he is doing pretty well now.

Since August Tim helped him develop a weight loss plan.

He didn't dare to be lazy during this period of time.

Every day is a mixture to drink.He practiced desperately for various projects.

All items in the weight loss plan.

He did it all honestly.

It may just be "natural beauty".

After suffering so many crimes, the effect is not particularly obvious, at least not from his body shape.

Enter October.Before the start of the preseason, the team conducted another comprehensive physical examination.

Wang Xiaochun's physical measurement data are as follows.

Body fat: 15.8%
Palm length: 23.49 cm,

Palm Width: 26.03 cm,

Barefoot height: 206.09 cm,

Height with shoes: 208.98 cm,

Armspan: 208.99cm,

Standing touch height: 267.85 cm,

Weight: 127 kg,

Four-point movement within the three-second zone: 12.55 seconds,
3/4 field sprint (22.86 meters): 4.10 seconds,
Bounce in place: 40.55 cm,

Approach bounce: 54.82 cm,

Maximum bench press: 237 kg.

84 kg bench press times: 39 times.

From this physical test report, it can be seen that Wang Xiaochun's static data has almost completely stopped growing.

The weight change of two or three kilograms is also negligible for inside players.

Move to 4 o'clock and finally enter 12 seconds.

Can sprint 22 meters.Still dangling in 4 seconds.

Of course, in the past two months, it is impossible for Wang Xiaochun to just lose weight.

Since the return of the team players.

In addition to his unshakeable weight loss plan every day.

Joint training and individual training are also essential.

But as the saying goes, the more you practice, the more you will be exposed.

There is no problem with Wang Xiaochun carrying people under the basket. This has been proved in the summer league before.

But its speed still can't adapt to the team's fast break style.

As for individual training.

In addition to Wang Xiaochun's incomprehensible strength, the three-pointer is also his biggest highlight.

However, as the team continued to understand him, his three-point disadvantage was gradually exposed.

It's still an old problem, the shot is slow, and it doesn't eat interference.

Fortunately, his vacancy is really accurate.

The Knicks would not feel that they had picked up a parallel import.

But then the training in this aspect must be increased.

At least the team must let him make changes in posture.

But it is so easy to change.

At least until now.

Once he changed his posture, Wang Xiaochun's hit rate dropped rapidly.

It looks like it will be another slow adaptation.

In addition, Wang Xiaochun's basket attack is also on the agenda, after all, such a great strength.

It would be a pity if the advantage of the basket is not developed.

Even if the offensive skills at the basket are not good, we must dig out his ability to draw fouls at the basket.

Because Wang Xiaochun's free throw percentage has steadily surpassed their team's free throw leader.

It would be a shame not to put this to use.

Generally speaking, the current Wang Xiaochun has great potential, but not much practicality.

It may also be the above reasons.

The team's use of Wang Xiaochun is conservative.

It is training as the first and actual combat as the supplement.

.........

10 month 8 number.

The preseason of this season has finally started.

Same as previous years.

A total of 8 games are scheduled for each team.

And the Knicks' opponent in Game 1.

It is the New Jersey Nets in the same city.
