Chapter 645: Chapter 249: Reconstruction Is Like This.

Artest was somewhat reluctant in his heart.

But the problem was, the max contract he got now was a bit tainted.

So much so that every time he saw Su Wan, he felt a little guilty,

Fearing Su Wan would find out he had been swindling under his name.

He chose to appease Grover: "Tim, I know you’re an excellent trainer, but I’ve just started training, maybe this amount of exercise is a bit too..."

Grover directly called Su Wan over: "Ron seems to have some doubts about my training plan, why don’t you talk to him?"

Su Wan turned his head and glanced at Artest.

Artest hurriedly said, "How could I, Tim! Rest assured, I will completely comply with your requests, however you say to train, I will train!"

Grover easily handled Artest.

But he was still a bit surprised inside.

He knew very well that "teammate" does not equal "friend," and even less "brother." To put it bluntly, it’s like colleagues in an office.

As Michael Jordan’s personal trainer, someone who had their own room in the Bulls’ locker room, he knew that Jordan also had teammates who wouldn’t speak to him for most of the season.

However, on the court, Jordan still commanded absolute leadership.

This was Michael Jordan’s "leadership charm."

When he brought his teammates to participate in the "Breakfast Club" in the summer of ’95, they didn’t have a single complaint.

Grover had known the name Ron Artest for a long time because it was because of him that Michael Jordan’s second comeback was delayed by two months. During those two months, because he couldn’t do high-intensity exercise to maintain his condition, when he actually came back, Michael Jordan’s condition wasn’t really adjusted at all, which led to a series of subsequent problems.

At that time, Grover knew Artest was a patient with "mania."

Usually a nice person, but when his temper flared, he couldn’t control himself.

It had been two years since he left the Pacers, and just as Su Wan arrived in New York, he was able to bring him to the training facility, and he didn’t dare to lose his temper with him. This made Grover feel the kind of leadership from Su Wan that Jordan used to have.

Even more so...

Artest’s temper couldn’t be compared to Pippen or Harper.

He really wanted to know how Su Wan tamed Artest.

Su Wan said, "It’s simple, this guy secured a max contract from the Knicks under my banner, do you think he dares to raise his voice at me?"

Grover suddenly understood.

Well then.

Though there’s no saying like "one who eats someone’s food becomes short, one who takes someone’s bounty becomes small" in the United States, the same principle circulates around the world.

If Grover were Artest, he would feel guilty right now too.

"Su, there’s one thing you might not know, I’m planning to change my name to Charity-World-Peace, call me Charity from now on, I’m going to be a good person starting today!" After training, Artest shared his recent idea with Su Wan.

Su Wan rolled his eyes at him.

This guy didn’t think of this during his two years in New York.

And now, after just one day of training, he’s thinking of becoming a monk.

"You’re not at the point of retirement yet, Ron. If you’re going to change your name, make it ’I’m a Maniac.’ That’s more fitting for your image!"

"That’s not a name either!"

"Charity-World-Peace is a name? What, when you get married, you’re going to make your wife call herself United States-Peace? You want to take the Nobel Peace Prize as a couple?"

"It’s not im"possible, Su!"

"Get lost!"

Su Wan had a serious talk with Artest: "I came to New York to win championships. I needed help in the first season, so I need you to keep your wildness, Ron! Don’t call yourself Charity-World-Peace. If you really want to change your name, call yourself Terrorist Organization!"

Having put it so bluntly, what else could Artest say? The next day, he became incredibly serious.

Su Wan was the person who changed his destiny, and for Su Wan, he always held him in high regard.

After about a week, Artest gradually got used to the current training rhythm.

This pleased Su Wan quite a lot.

With Artest and Tyson Chandler added to him, the defense system for the new season was set.

As for the offensive end, last season, Stephen Curry averaged nearly 18 points. Su Wan couldn’t quite remember how many points per game he had in his second professional season, but he did remember that except for the third season when he was out with injuries, his scoring steadily increased until his peak period arrived.

Therefore, in his second professional season, his scoring average must have been at least above 18 points.

Sss~

Still not enough though!

Paul George could score, but he remembered George had about two seasons of growth period. For the new season, becoming a good wing "3D" substitute was a more realistic target.

Danilo Gallinari could be tried for development.

The new season marked his third year.

And if we really talk about professional careers, he had been battling on professional courts since 2004.

Often, such players adapt to the league faster than the average rookie.

If he could be developed, along with Tyson Chandler’s dunking ability, then as long as Su Wan displayed "Scoring King" performance in the new season, the offensive firepower of the New York Knicks would still be fierce.

With a high-quality defensive foundation and fierce firepower, Su Wan felt that the New York Knicks had the ability to contend for the championship in the new season.
