Chapter 10: Draft night

　　 "Mr. Qi Li, I am honored to have your trust, but the combination of so many different types of offensive tactics may affect the training effect." David Fizdale reminded.
　　 "Fitzdale, what we have to do is to familiarize the players with the league's conventional offensive and defensive routines, not forcibly blending together." Qi Li said sternly.
　　 Of course, he has to practice all, then he can set up targeted formations, anyway, he has the full tactical execution power of the artifact, is it a waste of not having to.
　　 Of course, the four major points of the team, Marbury, Crawford, Randolph, David Lee, the high pick and roll is definitely king, and it should be able to play.
"The same is true for defensive tactics." Qi Li continued, "Based on man-to-man as a basis for perimeter defense and contraction defense, unlimited defense changes, as well as various joint defense tactics, you must practice hard, and be familiar with all-court press and double-team tactics. "
　　 The current tactical concept may still be a little different from ten years later. Qi Li will sort out some specific requirements, and will also produce some game videos to illustrate his tactical thinking.
　　 The details of the operation should be handed over to Warren and Fizdale.
　　 "Ms. Lieberman, I hope you can lead player shooting training and some psychological counseling." Qi Li said to Nancy Lieberman.
　　 Nancy Lieberman responded: "No problem, this is what I am good at. Mr. Qi Li, this meeting feels that you are much more reliable than the rumors."
　　 Qi Li laughed and said: "It's not reliable, everyone will know when it comes to the regular season, I hope we can work together happily, cheers!"
　　The training of the team will not start yet. The current job of the coaching staff is to make plans and communicate.
　　 Except for some special circumstances, such as Marbury has taken Eddie Curry for physical recovery training.
　　 Qi Li's request for Marbury is very simple, to get back to good physical condition, Eddie Curry is to lose weight, he will make people stare at this buddy all day long.
　　As the head coach, there are more things to do together. The specific things are arranged for others to carry out.
　　 The draft will begin soon. The Knicks have now bought two picks, the No. 27 pick from the Hornets and the No. 47 pick from the Wizards.
　　 In addition, the Bobcats are interested in the Knicks' No. 6 pick.
　　 Before the deal is confirmed, Qi should meet with team managers other than James Dolan and Donnie Walsh.
　　 In the Knicks conference room, a group of guys in suits and leather shoes looked at Qi Li with unfriendly eyes.
　　 "Young man, you just come to discuss with us now, are you a little arrogant?"
　　 "Young people, coaching an NBA team is not so easy, first you have to learn to respect your seniors."
　　 "Boy, I have worked for the Knicks for ten years. I have worked with six head coaches. Any of them is more famous than you. You are just a passerby of the team."
　　 Qi Li originally thought it was a meaningful meeting. He had already finished the draft before he came. He didn't expect it to be the vegetable market. The so-called management is the same thing. Qi Li suddenly became disappointed.
　　 "Everyone, are you the reason the Knicks are so bad now? That's been a long time."
　　 "Don't be angry, gentlemen, keep your demeanor. I am not your enemy. From now on, you only need to take the salary and watch it. You can continue when I leave."
　　 "Of course, during my tenure as the head coach of the Knicks, you can't raise any objections, because Mr. Dolan will support me unconditionally, and he is the one who pays your salary. It's that simple."
　　Wasting time, Qi Li didn't know if anyone deliberately tested him, the Knicks' current situation, but there is no time to play games with them.
　　 After Qi Li left the meeting room chicly, the gentlemen inside were indignant.
　　 However, this summer, it’s the same reasoning. If the team has scores in the regular season, they will still be the same. They only have to be honest. At most, someone will give reporters a scam, and Qi Li doesn't care.
　　 The coach, like the athletes, talks about test results.
　　 And the draft night was finally held in the theater of Madison Square Garden. In this regard, New York is home every year.
　　 The Knicks' attempt to trade the draft picks still failed, which also shows that they have no chance with stars such as Rose, Westbrook, and Love.
　　 In fact, they are not Qi Li's most desired player. It should be said that the 2008 draft year is not that important in Qi Li's mind.
　　 Qi Li used the team's No. 6 pick to trade with the Bobcats and won the opponent's No. 20 and No. 38 picks, as well as the second round of 2009.
　　 then used the 27th pick from the Hornets to trade with the Thunder to get the 32nd and 46th picks.
　　 At the draft scene, Qi Li and Donnie Walsh stood on the second floor looking at the draft scene below.
　　 After all the first five picks were picked, Donnie Walsh was relieved.
　　 "Qi, you are right, the No. 6 pick is not too cheap."
The five people who have been favored before, Ross, Beasley, Mayo, Westbrook, and Love are all selected. UU reading www.uukanshu.com shows that their No. 6 deal will not be too wrong, but Tang Ni Walsh still feels distressed.
　　 But there are still a few actual combat strengths below. Qi Li got so many picks this time, and it is more likely that he will gain a few chicken ribs. If he does, he will definitely bet on the 6th pick.
　　 The 20th pick, the Knicks chose Serge Ibaka who played in the Spanish League.
　　 The fans have no idea who this is, and even the Knicks scouts have reservations about this choice.
　　 Qi Li can only say that the team that just changed its name to the Thunder is sorry.
Because of his spoiler, not to mention that the current choices are chaotic. The history is different from what he knows before. The Gallinari Lynx chosen by the Knicks in his memory was not chosen and was taken away by the Bucks, which also caused some chains. reaction.
　　 The No. 32 pick, the Knicks chose DeAndre Jordan, and the Clippers are also sorry.
　　 The 38th pick, the Knicks chose Slovenian defender Goran Dragic.
　　 The 46th pick, the Knicks chose Bill Walker, who is known as Carter's second. This buddy is a genius who was ruined by injuries. After surgery on his knee, he fell sharply. Originally, he might be the top ten hot rookie. On the original trajectory, this buddy did not grow up, but Qi Li thinks so. The sign can bet, he will give this buddy think of some small bottles of restorative.
　　 With the 47th pick, the Knicks chose Kansas University's champion striker Darnell Jackson, and then traded him to the Cavaliers in exchange for the 2009 second-round pick from the Bulls.
　　 Draft night for the Knicks ended perfectly, but the summer has just begun.
　　 New York's famous basketball commentator, the so-called expert Hood Anderson wrote quickly, "The Knicks summer, from the beginning of the ruined draft."
