NBA: Peak Thompson starts

Chandler felt that he was a little familiar with Lin Tao, and Chandler said: “Lin, maybe you should get a tattoo, so that it will look more fierce and not let others think that you are a bully.” ”

Lin Tao shook his head: “My fans have a lot of children, and I don’t want to give them a lot of bad guidance. ”

Lin Tao couldn’t understand the black player’s penchant for tattoos.

But Chandler’s words reminded Lin Tao that the reason why he received so much criticism from the media was largely because he seemed to be too good a person.

He looks like a good boy both externally and internally.

After a while, the rest of the Knicks players came out one after another.

Chandler quickly put on a smile and greeted the veterans with high-fives or dances, and after a season together, Chandler already knew the rules of survival in the Knicks locker room.

Lin Tao does not understand the way black people dance and give high fives, and his personality is biased towards calmness.

“Rookie, you need to put on a smile when you come to the NBA, don’t be so serious.” The little Nate Robinson happily ran over to give Lin Tao a high five!

Lin Tao also stretched out his palm to cooperate with him.

Nate Robinson is a very famous little potato in the NBA because he is only 168cm tall.

Being able to survive in the NBA with a long life is inspiring enough in itself, and it is worth Lin Tao to respect him.

Head coach D’Antoni was the last to reach the pitch.

Because he was a new coach and then there were a lot of new faces with training camp contracts, he also introduced himself.

D’Antoni spoke and then talked about next month’s training plan and pre-season.

After he finished speaking, he announced that they would disband and let everyone go to warm up first.

The assistant coaches also began to report to D’Antoni on the work of this time.

Everything is in order.

Two hours later, Lin Tao also figured out the Knicks’ internal structure and player status hierarchy.

D’Antoni brought two new assistant coaches over, plus the original assistant coach, trainers, equipment managers, etc., and there were about twenty staff members who directly did various services for the Knicks players.

On the player side, Randolph and David Lee are the two highest-ranking people on the team, because these two are big men, and then they also have the highest scoring and higher tactical status than the average player.

But because of the obvious difference in skin color, Randolph and David Lee are obviously not dumping each other, so the Knicks do not strictly have locker room leaders and team bosses.

Under these two are Crawford, Crisduhon and other veterans of the starters.

Then there was Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler, Lin Tao…

Nate is too short and does not accept him at the previous level, and height discrimination in the NBA still exists.

Chandler and Lin Tao are both rookie level…but they are the core of the team’s future development, so their status is higher than those of marginal players and water cooler keepers.

Finally, at the bottom are the kind of water cooler managers and training camp contract players who can be cut at any time, and there are 6 of these players in the Knicks roster, and in the end they will only have 1 or 2 people staying here, and the rest will be cut.

Therefore, the status of such players is also the lowest, their various words and actions are cautious, no one dares to offend, after all, there is a conflict with the guarantee contract players, and they must be killed.

Soon, Lin Tao received the tactical manual arranged by D’Antoni, and in the tactical position of multiple tactics, Lin Tao’s tactical position is very high, and even ranks first many times!

These details show that D’Antoni attaches great importance to Lin Tao!

Even though he was valued by the head coach, Lin Tao did not escape the fate of buying desserts and backpacks on the first day.

This is the unspoken rule after the rookie enters the locker room, and Lin Tao is not exempt from vulgarity.

James, Paul, Wade and others did this kind of thing.

Generally, there is no malicious joke to this extent, Lin Tao is still acceptable, but there are some jokes with malice that Lin Tao cannot accept.

“Hey, rookie, go to Starbucks and buy 1 cup of coffee back, I only drink hot.” The team’s starter, the big black man, Randolph, instructed Lin Tao, who had just put down a pile of backpacks, and said.

“How far is Starbucks from here?” Lin Tao did not refuse directly, but asked his teammates around him.

“The nearest one is about 40 minutes by car, and if you go now, you can probably be back in two hours!” Chandler kindly reminded Lin Tao.

Two hours, when you come back, the training will be over, isn’t it disgusting!

Randolph looked at the rookie Lin Tao with playful eyes.

Other players will give the No. 6 pick some face, but Randolph doesn’t care!

He is very dissatisfied with Lin Tao’s higher status than him in tactics, and Randolph is very unhappy with Lin Tao, who looks a little white-faced, everyone plays basketball, why do you look so handsome, Randolph feels that he needs to give this No. 6 pick who has just arrived on the team a dismount.

Everyone else in the locker room looked at each other, and no one wanted to come out and say a word.

Chandler hesitated, but he was startled back by Randolph’s fierce expression.

“I can order you a takeaway.” Lin Tao gave in and said.

“Rookie, the takeout is too slow, it may be cold when it arrives, I hope you go and help me buy hot ones.” Randolph said with a smile.

This is a bit obvious to find fault, Lin Tao to buy it when it is not the same cold.

What if I say “no”? Lin Tao said.

After Lin Tao said this sentence quietly.

The atmosphere in the dressing room instantly froze.

No one expected a rookie to dare to challenge Randolph’s status.

Don’t give this guy a little face.
