The older superstars of the NBA

After resting at home for more than half a month, Zhao Feiyang finally set off for the United States.

This time he did not bring his wife Jiang Qiuyue.

It wasn't that she was reluctant to leave her at home, but Jiang Qiuyue had been diagnosed with pregnancy more than two months ago! Zhao Feiyang, who loves to be a father, considers that he has so many games in the NBA and many away games to play. If Jiang Qiuyue goes to the United States, he may not have so much time to take care of her.

Although there is no shortage of money, you can find a servant, but how can you feel safe when your own family is by your side? Therefore, Zhao Feiyang had no choice but to leave his wife and set off for New York alone.

After more than ten hours of turbulence, Zhao Feiyang finally got off the plane.

Adrian Ennis communicated with him in advance, so he drove outside the airport to wait for Zhao Feiyang.

There was no greeting at all when the two met. Like old friends for many years, Zhao Feiyang threw the luggage directly to Adrian, and Adrian took it and put it in the trunk with a happy face.

The two drove all the way back.

We talked about all kinds of things on the way, most of which were related to the team. After the Knicks announced the signing of Tristan Thompson, the team's management deal seemed to have come to an end for the time being.

"Zhao, don't worry! Although many teams have made adjustments this season! But I think we have great hope of reaching the finals again!"

"I think the biggest threats in the East are the Bucks and Nets. But it's hard to say for the Nets right now. Kevin Durant has been recovering from injuries. Kyrie Irving alone is It's impossible to defeat us..."

"Their true level can only be known after Kevin comes back..."

Adrian said.

Zhao Feiyang also agreed with his analysis.

"However, there is another team we need to pay attention to, and that is the Miami Heat... Jimmy Butler is a very strong guy! Although his talent is not as good as the top stars, his fighting ability and fighting will are really good. Very strong..."

There is another point that Zhao Feiyang did not say.

When Butler broke up with the 76ers and was about to leave, he actually had the opportunity to recruit them.

However, if Butler comes to the Knicks, then one of Adrian or LaVine will definitely become a "victim."

Now the two can maintain their core positions, have the opportunity to chase the championship, and can also grow with the team little by little.

But once Butler comes, if he plays the 2nd position, then LaVine is likely to be forced into the substitute lineup; if he plays the 3rd position, then Adrian is very likely to enter the substitute lineup.

In this way, the Knicks may have a greater chance of winning a second championship, but Adrian and LaVine will obviously not have it easy.

Players like Butler are too harsh on themselves!

Even if Adrian and LaVine work hard, they still have no advantage in competing with Butler!

From this point of view, this is Zhao Feiyang's own selfishness.

He couldn't sacrifice his good brother for the sake of the championship. After all, he just said a word, but the two of them followed him to New York without even thinking about it.

Not to mention Adrian, if LaVine is willing to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he is now the cornerstone of the Timberwolves! He will also become the leader of this team in the future.

Maybe you may not be able to win the championship, but at least you can be the boss of the team and earn more money.

He didn't do this!

So, can I do anything to be sorry for them? Of course not.

The absence of Butler may be a pity for the team, but it does not mean that the team cannot win the championship again.

Soon Zhao Feiyang returned home, and Adrian drove away after seeing him off.

The exhausted Zhao Feiyang went back and fell asleep until the afternoon of the next day, when the team officially notified him to participate in the training camp on the third morning.

Training day finally arrived.

This is also the first time the players have met after the offseason.

Zhao Feiyang was still the first one to arrive at the arena, and LaVine and Adrian who followed him were the second and third.

The three of them started practicing shooting after arriving at the training hall. About half an hour later, other talents arrived one after another.

What's different from last season is that there are a few familiar faces missing from the training hall.

The most impressive ones are of course Porzingis and DeMarcus Cousins. These two people were originally the core strikers of the team, but after winning the championship, everyone went their separate ways, and the original championship team had to face the plan of reuniting.

"Ugh!"

Zhao Feiyang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the lineup on the court, "If they hadn't won the championship, these two might have continued to persevere... But once they had won the championship! Everyone would have chosen other considerations... ..”

"There is no way around this!"

LaVine on the side patted Zhao Feiyang on the shoulder to comfort him, "There is really no way...but as long as the three of us brothers continue to play together!"

"of course!"

As more and more people came to the training hall, new faces also appeared in front of Zhao Feiyang.

Tristan Thompson was the last one to arrive. Although he was a little late, he was not late. He and Zhao Feiyang are considered acquaintances. After all, Zhao Feiyang played with LeBron for a season, and the two of them had some interactions as teammates.

Therefore, when Tristan came to the training hall, he came up directly to say hello to Zhao Feiyang. He took the initiative to hug and high-five Zhao Feiyang.

"Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so powerful now... Man, you are the boss of the team now! You are much more powerful than when you were with the Cavaliers..."

"I didn't expect that we would have the chance to play together..."

Zhao Feiyang's impression of Tristan was good or bad, after all, the two parties didn't have much interaction in private. However, since he is now the boss of the team, he still has to show some welcome to this new former teammate.

"Tristan, I'm so glad you came to New York!"

With that said, in order to integrate Tristan into the team as early as possible, Zhao Feiyang specially brought him to everyone and took the initiative to introduce him to everyone.

LaVine and Adrian were both very generous and took the initiative to shake Tristan's hand for Zhao Feiyang's sake.

The same goes for DeAndre Jordan, who also reached out to give Tristan a hug and a high-five.

However, Howard didn't seem too cold. Even when he saw Tristan reaching out his hand, he didn't react in a hurry. If Zhao Feiyang hadn't reminded him, Howard wouldn't have even chosen to reach out.

Such a scene also made Zhao Feiyang aware of something strange.

After they separated, Zhao Feiyang also came to Howard and asked, "Dwight, what's going on? Do you have any grudges with Tristan?"

Howard looked a little embarrassed.

"It's not a big problem, it's just... we had some minor conflicts before about picking up girls..."

Howard was hesitant for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.

Little Jordan on the side knew the whole story, and told Zhao Feiyang during the physical training, "Dwight met a well-known female athlete in the sports world before, and he expressed his affection for her. However, Tristan also liked this person." There seems to be something to do with female athletes..."

"Of course, neither of them fell in love with this female athlete in the end..."

Xiao Qiaodan's explanation made Zhao Feiyang almost laugh out loud.

Considering that these two guys are love prodigals, their off-court life is very exciting, and they are also famous, Zhao Feiyang feels that it is not surprising that they have not fallen in love with girls!

Although Howard seemed to have a cold attitude, he did not do anything else because of it.

Zhao Feiyang would not stand up and express anything without affecting the harmony of the team.

However, what the entire Knicks team did not expect was that just when the players were halfway through training, a woman suddenly appeared at the door of the training facility.

She seemed very familiar with it. After arriving at the arena, she directly found a place to sit on the sidelines.

Although the arena is very large, no outsiders usually come out here. At this time, a woman suddenly came in, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"what?"

"Khloe Kardashian? Why is this woman here?"

When Zhao Feiyang looked confused, Raven and Adrian on the side were surprised.

The surprise of the two people also shocked Zhao Feiyang.

"Who? Is she the Khloe Kardashian that Odom and Harden can't handle?"

"That's right. That's her!"

"Didn't this woman date Tristan before? What's going on now? Is it possible that they are together again?"

"Damn it! Why do I have a bad feeling! The Kardashian family is not easy to mess with! Anyone who comes into contact with them will be ruined. It can be said that athletes in the entire sports world will not touch them as long as they are sane... ....”

The conversation between the two also caused Zhao Feiyang's concern.

Although he didn't know what was going on with Kohler and Tristan, the fact that the other party took the initiative to come to the arena proved that there was a connection between the two.

Zhao Feiyang didn't care about Tristan's personal life, but he didn't want this guy to affect his condition because of a woman, thereby interfering with the team's championship.

call out.

Physical training is over.

The two sides are about to start an intra-team confrontation.

Before the formal grouping took the field, head coach Norman Thomas gave the players ten minutes to rest. Everyone else sat there and took the time to replenish water, except Tristan, who walked to the sideline area to accompany Khloe.

The two of them started chewing each other as soon as they met. Their relationship was as close as a newlywed couple, and everyone was confused for a while.

"I'll go! They won't start playing the game later, right?"

"I can understand their feelings! But... this is a stadium! Although everyone's family and friends usually come, most of the time no one comes to disturb the players' training... ..”

"Forget it! Understand it! Maybe Tristan, the prodigal son, really wants to turn around this time... I just hope Tristan won't be drained off the court. We can still count on his defense. Woolen cloth!"
