Chapter 949 Hot-Blooded Young Man, Welcome to New York!
The player Lin Yi named was Bobby Portis.
This summer, the Knicks will not only leave the team as the old boxing champion, but Morris will also have a high probability of being poached by other teams.
And in this way, the Knicks will not have enough player reserves in the interior next year.
Not surprisingly, Gobert and Jokic will appear in the Knicks lineup next season at the same time, so Lin Yi urgently needs a fresh meat to take on the heavy responsibility of the Knicks' backup power forward.
Therefore, Lin Yi took a fancy to Portis.
A player who is 211 cm tall, plays and fights and retreats, can shoot three-pointers, but is quite brutal and ferocious.
You know, Portis is a very character player.
In Lin Yi's previous life, after he was selected by the Bulls, he was not favored by the Bulls. Even though he showed his talent later, the Bulls finally chose the latter between him and Markkanen.
Of course, this is not to say that Portis has no strength.
On the contrary, Portis is a space power forward with full potential.
In the 17/18 season before Lin Yichao, Portis averaged 12 points and 68 rebounds in 22 minutes per game, shooting 471 from the field and 59 from the three-point range. His efficiency was astonishing.
Unlike Portis' vicious appearance, this kid has an extremely soft touch, and he works very hard on the defensive end. He belongs to the kind of player who will fight you even if I can't guard you.
The reason why the Bulls gave up on Portis in the end was because of the kid's character.
You know, in Lin Yi's previous life, Portis and Mirotic had quite famous nicknames.
Known as "Blood Brothers".
Ahem, the meaning of "Blood Brothers" is different from "Splash Brothers". This nickname does not describe the two people's playing style, but because of an accident.
At the Bulls’ preseason training camp, I didn’t know why the two had conflicts. Anyway, Portis gave Mirotic a “concussion + maxillary fracture” package with a punch. .
The locker room clash shocked the league, Mirotic was sidelined indefinitely and Portis was suspended for eight games.
After that, Portis, who shot at his teammates, began to be hated by the Bulls management, so even if he was talented, the Bulls management didn't want to leave such a time bomb in the team.
Well, so far as the story goes, most of it ends in tragedy.
Portis, on the rise, looks like he's going to slump.
But the reality of dog blood tells us to completely break up with teammates, which is something only high school students do.
Portis, who had a fight with Mirotic, reached a settlement with Mirotic not long after, and the two even led the weak Bulls to a five-game winning streak.
The professional attitude of Portis and Mirotic has impressed many fans. Even if there is a fight off the court, we are teammates fighting side by side on the court!
But now it's bad.
Because the Bulls were going to play badly that season, you said your two brothers did something wrong, and they led the team to a winning streak?
As a result, Mirotic was sent to the Pelicans by the Bulls in the middle of the season, and Portis was also sold off by the Bulls after the season ended.
The "Blood Brothers" who were once famous in the alliance were disbanded in this way.
I have to say that reality is sometimes bloody.
Closer to home.
Since Lin Yi dared to choose Portis, he would not worry about the kid's character.
Because the Knicks team has no shortage of teasers, and if Portis likes boxing, he can just succeed the boxing champion and be Lin Yi's human sandbag.
Portis has character, which just proves that he is worth developing.
Because this kind of hot-blooded young man is the catfish that the Knicks desperately need.
In Lin Yi's previous life, Portis continued to improve every season, which is enough to prove that this kid is very self-motivated.
After his big fight with Mirotic, he did not recover from a setback, but used hard work and earnest attitude to exchange for a brand new future for himself.
From this point alone, Lin Yi dared to assert that this child will not be too bad in the future.
Besides, even a time bomb can't be shaken, what else can Lin Yi do to surpass Jordan?
You know, the old hooligan had been teammates with Rodman for many years.
Therefore, whether it is potential or strength, Portis is the perfect choice for the Knicks.
After all, among the 15-year rookies, there are not many talents to make, and even fewer treasures to find.
Lin Yi originally considered Nance Jr., but compared to Portis, Nance Jr. is of little significance to the Knicks.
Because Portis can shoot three-pointers.
...
After solving the problem of the draft conference, Lin Yi also chatted with Javier about the personnel changes in the summer.
The old boxing champion's departure from the team is a certainty. This veteran who has accompanied Lin Yi for five seasons will start his retirement mode in the summer.
From the beginning of the 2015/16 season, the NBA's salary will rise sharply, but the Knicks still can't give the old boxing champion a big contract, because if you want feelings, you can't choose the future.
This season, the boxing champion's deterrence on the defensive end has dropped a lot, and Gobert, who has gradually grown up, needs more playing time to complete the upgrade.
Don't think this is cruel, because if it weren't for Lin Yi, the reality would be even more cruel.
People with the heart of the Virgin Mary are destined to not be able to go far in this league, because the rules of the nba itself are very cruel.
The law of the jungle is king, girls, but it has never been Lin Yi's style.
Of course, as a veteran of the Knicks, Lin Yi suggested to the team that the champion's jersey could be retired in the future. In addition, during the championship parade, Lin Yi suggested that the champion should leave with dignity.
Without the boxing champion, it would be impossible for Lin Yi to win the first championship back then.
And that crown was the beginning of it all.
Lin Yi knew very well that the Knicks needed word of mouth now and even more in the future.
"How do you feel, I'm the boss of the Knicks?" Lin Yi thought emotionally.
In addition to the departure of the boxing champion, Little Transparent Ellington will also leave the team in the summer, and Morris has been targeted by many teams. Anyway, now everyone has recognized the truth: a Knicks product must be a boutique.
Look at Dream Chaser Green who went to Houston last year. After he went to the Rockets, the Rockets almost reached the Western Conference Finals this year.
Harden has praised Dream Chaser more than once in public. He believes that Dream Chaser is a fighter and the core of the Rockets' defense.
Well, in Lin Yi's previous life, if Lin Yi remembered correctly, Harden seemed to hate chasing dreams.
So good luck tricks people!
In addition, both Carter and Pierce expressed their desire to stay with the team. Korver also hopes that he can stay in the Knicks. As for other players, most of them have contracts and cannot leave if they want to.
Lin Yi has planned the salary space of the Knicks. After the 2015/16 season, the Knicks can renew the contract with Gobert in advance, and because the teacher is a first-round pick in this life, the Knicks can be with him at that time. Complete the super cap renewal.
"It's my Cannon's contract, which is a bit annoying." After the 2015/16 season, it will be my Cannon's contract renewal. Lin Yi knows very well that it will be difficult for the Knicks to deal with this issue.
Because of my age, it is difficult for the Knicks to give Paul a long-term contract with a maximum salary in the absolute sense.
After all, the Knicks have to consider Lin Yi's next contract.
Of course, the Dolans have a lot of stupid money, and the Knicks can use the bird rights to renew the contract with Paul, but in that way, the Knicks' salary risk will be completely locked in the next few years, which will be very troublesome in operation.
However, what are you thinking about next summer?
In short, Lin Yi has already built the framework of this Knicks team. For Lin Yi, a dynasty is not enough. If he wants to surpass Jordan, he needs to get more honors.
"So, here comes the question, which veteran will realize his dream next year?" In the afternoon, as the Twitter server was repaired, Lin Yi was about to start his robbery plan.
It's time to make a statement to the NBA Veterans Association.
New York, the land of dreams, welcomes you to join us!
