Chapter 120: Eating, Sleeping, and Playing Curry

November 14, New York, Madison Square Garden.

"LIN---YI!!"

Accompanied by the cheers of the DJ on the scene, Lin Yi slowly stood up from the bench.

Warriors bench, Stephen Curry envious as he watched...

New York Knicks fans have already spoiled Lin Yi.

Oakland and New York, the Big Apple city of dreams, if it weren't for the Warriors' cut-off...

Despite mixed emotions, Stephen Curry clenched his fists.

He wants to prove himself.

He was the No. 2 pick in the 2009 class. As one of Davidson's wave brothers, he is also expected to be high.

TNT TV broadcast the game live. Barkley said before the game: "This should be the first matchup between the Botao brothers after they entered the NBA. Lin and Stephen, the closest comrades in college, were the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick in the 2009 class. From the statistics , Both performed well, but judging from the team's record, the Knicks and the Warriors are very different."

Kenny Smith reminded: "Lin is the core of the Knicks, but Stephen is now only the Warriors' third choice."

Barkley spread his hands: "Kenny, didn't Lin rely on his own strength to get the core? Believe me, even in the Warriors, he is the absolute core!"

Kenny Smith felt that what Barkley said recently became more and more reasonable, and it was difficult to refute.

...

On the court, the players of the two teams have already started to warm up. The Warriors' center, Biedrins, is also a seven-footer. He is similar in stature to Lin Yi, but slightly shorter than Lin Yi.

However, the movement speed of these two people is not on the same level.

Because he will be responsible for defending Lin Yi tonight, Biedrins is under a lot of pressure.

When Stephen Curry was warming up, he would glance at Lin Yi from time to time, looking at Lin Yi who was chatting and laughing with his teammates, Stephen Curry was in a complicated mood...

In the current Warriors team, Maggette has a better relationship with Curry. In normal training and games, Maggette often encourages Stephen Curry.

"Hey! Pass the ball over here." Ellis is not friendly to Curry, he doesn't like Curry very much.

This season Ellis thinks he has played the data of the All-Star, but the media criticize him more.

Ellis is a paranoid. He doesn't think there is a problem with him. The Warriors score the most points every game. Even if there is a problem, it is the problem of that nasty rookie. Obviously he can't defend himself, but the media always likes to bring himself to criticize!

But Ellis did not dare to challenge the old Nelson's authority in the Warriors.

For Ellis, he wants to be an All-Star. He has reached the age where he should make achievements. He is no longer the younger brother of Baron Davis. He thinks that his ability is not inferior to the players in this league. any player.

The more this happened, the more he annoyed Curry to play with him.

...

Before the game started, Lin Yi put his arms around Wilson Chandler and explained a few words.

"No problem, Lin, I'm good at trash talking!" Chandler said, patting his chest.

Lin Yi patted Chandler on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Today's starter Chandler is facing Ellis. Lin Yi told Chandler to make him the main defense and break through. lis.

Once this kind of paranoia comes to the fore, the rhythm of the Warriors will be disrupted.

It's hard to guard Maggette, who is an efficient scorer, and Stephen Curry, who is an efficient shooter, at the same time.

But Lin Yi firmly believes that with the help of "Best Defensive Player" Ellis, the Knicks will definitely be able to defend against the Warriors.

...

To the deafening cheers of the home fans,

Game start!

Lin Yi tapped the ball in the middle circle with ease.

"The Knicks have had a 100 percent chance of getting first down so far this season," Barkley said.

"Main Lin's height and wingspan are too exaggerated, and it is too difficult to beat him on the jump ball." Kenny Smith said.

On the court, the Knicks' starting five today are: Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Chandler, and Larry Hughes.

The Golden State Warriors' starting five are: Biedrins, Radmanovich, Maggette, Ellis, Curry.

On the first attack of the game, Hughes, the Knicks' starting point guard, decisively handed the ball to Lin Yi.

At this time, the Warriors center Biedrins, who was in charge of defending Lin Yi, panicked. He had watched the video of Lin Yi's previous games. To be honest, Biedrins thought he couldn't defend Lin Yi.

Old Nelson asked Biedrins to try his best to defend before the game. If he couldn't defend, Old Nelson was going to use Maggette to defend Lin Yi.

However, Lin Yi, who was holding the ball at this time, knew very well that Biedrins was not the biggest loophole of the Warriors' defense.

Although Biedrins's movement speed is not fast, he is not too slow before he suffered a serious injury. He has wingspan and is a pretty good blue-collar center. Lin Yiqiang needs a lot of effort to break through.

Persimmons should be picked softly.

The main point of attack for the Knicks today is: Stephen Curry.

The biggest hole in the Golden State Warriors' defense!

Knicks coach D'Antoni is now very glad that New York finally got Lin Yi in the summer, because he watched the video of Stephen Curry's previous games. D'Antoni said affirmatively that Stephen Curry's defense is really comparable to Nash, New York got Lin Yi to really pick up the treasure.

And Lin Yi's organizational talent, D'Antoni thinks it is much higher than Curry.

Fortunately, the Clippers had a brain twitch, and the Warriors followed suit! D'Antoni thought.

"Hey! Today the Knicks actually started playing the orthodox pick-and-roll." Barkley joked.

"I think the fans are more used to the Knicks' pick-and-roll tactics between the inside and the inside?" Kenny Smith complained.

On the court, Larry Hughes and Lin Yi completed the pick-and-roll. Lin Yi's pick-and-roll was of extremely high quality, and the Warriors could only switch defenses. Larry Hughes did not choose to break through Biedrins himself, but quickly turned the ball back again. Gave it to Lin Yi.

At this time, Lin Yi was facing off against his college roommate Stephen Curry.

The elementary school students took defense very seriously, but in the face of Lin Yi's unreasonable intervention, Stephen Curry was really helpless.

Swish!

New York quickly played the opening first attack.

2 to 0.

From No. 44, New York Knicks center Lin Yi's iron-blooded fight!

The Knicks fans cheered everywhere.

Barkley said: "The Knicks' offense is really decisive now, and they shoot when they get a chance."

Smith echoed: "D'Antoni's team has always been like this, and the first down is their characteristic."

Turning around, it was the Warriors' turn to attack, and Stephen Curry wanted to call Biedrins and him for a pick-and-roll, but after Ellis glared at him, the schoolboy reluctantly handed the ball to Ellis.

"Come and hit me! You trash! You trash! You know what, you're like a cream puff with mustard, so soft and crap!" Chandler stuck in Ellis' breakthrough position, One side started the trash talking tactics.

Ellis was furious.

What cats and dogs are bullying me?

Be funny!

Ellis dribbled the ball lightly with his right hand. After seeing that Chandler retreated too deep and he didn't have a good chance to break through, he chose to pull out the shot.

Swish!

2 to 2!

Ellis goes in too.

"Warriors side, Monta Ellis returned one." Barkley said.

"Monta Ellis averaged 23.6 shots per game this season, currently ranking first in the league, but in terms of scoring average, he is currently only ranked eleventh." Kenny Smith said.

On the court, after scoring the goal, Ellis looked at Chandler proudly, talking trash? Sorry, but I'm the league's second shooting guard.

But unexpectedly, Chandler turned around and looked at Ellis with disdain and said, "Hehe, he was actually scored by trash. It seems that trash snacks still have some effect!"

! ! !

? ? ?

Ellis was furious, with serious consequences.

...

New York played Lin Yi and Hughes' pick-and-roll again, and switched to Curry to defend Lin Yi. Lin Yi easily turned his back and wiped Curry to cut into the inside line and hit the board.

4 to 2!

The primary school student looked helpless, indicating that Biedrins and his rotation should be faster, Biedrins said "oh", Curry is just a high-ranking rookie in the Warriors, but Biedrins is the Warriors The veteran of the locker room, he doesn't want to take the blame tonight.

You must know that the centers who played against Lin Yi before were often complained by the media.

Biedrins is now very glad that the Knicks' main attack point tonight is not himself, so for what Curry said to him, just go in one ear and out the other.

Anyway, isn't the main task of this season just to continue to perform poorly?

The other Warriors players didn't say anything, and Maggette, who has a good relationship with Curry, just patted the primary school student on the shoulder to show encouragement.

The atmosphere in this Warriors team is really bad!

...

It was the Warriors' turn to attack, and at this time Ellis' desire to attack had been completely provoked by Chandler.

Chandler's constant spouting of trash talk is getting on Ellis' nerves.

The Warriors did not run their established tactics in this attack. Ellis opened his hands for the ball and motioned his teammates to pull away.

Curry, who was originally organized at the top of the arc, was glared at by Ellis, and handed the ball to Ellis. The elementary school student ran to the baseline and waited for the ball, while other Warriors players hurriedly made room for the team boss. One-on-one positions.

Ellis felt good today, singled out two in two after the opening.

"Ellis's singles went again, and it looked like he felt good tonight." Barkley said.

"The Knicks' inside height also makes Ellis more afraid of breakthroughs?" Kenny Smith said.

On the field, after scoring again, Ellis glanced at Chandler proudly.

did you see? This is my strength!

Still spamming?

This is what happens when you offend me!

Just when Ellis was about to say to Chandler: Xiao Mian, your mentally retarded provocation can't irritate me...

On the field, Lin Yi suddenly patted Chandler on the head, "How to defend!"

Seeing the opponent's core players getting angry at Chandler, Ellis was even more proud.

"I'm sorry! Lin! I was too careless!" Chandler apologized.

"No, I'm talking about this kind of trash snack, you can just let him shoot, why waste your energy to defend! You have to save your energy to attack, understand?" Lin Yi said to Chandler.

"Yes yes yes! I was too reckless, Lin, I shouldn't waste energy on this kind of trash!" Chandler echoed.

Waste snacks?

Ellis was dumbfounded. The two talked cross talk while running, but Ellis was listening.

TNND, it is tolerable, what is unbearable!

Ha ha!

After New York's offense was completed again, Ellis, who was already on the top, didn't bother to wait for halftime before asking for the ball. When Biedrins served the backcourt ball, he ran over and reached for the ball.

Biedrins didn't dare to neglect, chose to ignore Curry and handed the ball to Ellis.

The furious Ellis played singles again, and he felt really good tonight, 6 to 6!

"It seems that Ellis and the Knicks are on the bar!" Kenny Smith said.

"But can this kind of singles be scored all the time?" Barkley said.

After Ellis scored again, he looked at Chandler angrily, at this moment Lin Yi suddenly patted Chandler on the shoulder, "Yes, that's it, just let him shoot, don't waste energy. "

Chandler nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I also think this kind of waste snack doesn't need to waste energy."

Ellis was speechless again!

Well, wait, I'm going to blow you away tonight! Be sure to let you know the price of offending the league's second shooting guard!

Seeing Ellis so angry, Lin Yi knew that tonight's tactic was already half successful.

Chandler's provocation worked well, as evidenced by Ellis' three consecutive singles after the opening game.

Chandler defended well, but Ellis had a good touch tonight.

But can Ellis get the full court?

Wake up, it is precisely because of trust in Chandler that Lin Yi let him provoke Ellis.

Lin Yi could see that Ellis' shots became more and more difficult every time.

...

The Knicks' offense went very well tonight, and the Warriors made some changes.

Curry tried his best to circle the pick-and-roll, and at this time, the value of letting Larry Hughes start was also reflected. Larry Hughes' height and strength were much better than Curry, not to mention Lin Yi helping him pick and roll?

Curry worked hard to bypass the pick-and-roll, but Larry Hughes directly accelerated and squeezed Curry away, broke into the inside to feed the cake, and David Lee easily got the cake from the basket.

8 to 6, New York's first four offenses in the opening game were all succeeded by hitting Curry.

"If Stephen wants to become a star player, his defense is really, I can only describe it as horrible." Barkley shook his head.

"The Knicks played too easily on offense tonight, and Stephen Curry has become their breakthrough point!" Kenny Smith echoed.

The Warriors' offense, after all, it is impossible for the old Nelson to let Ellis play alone all the time. This time, the Warriors ran a tactic. Near the top arc, under the interference of Larry Hughes, Stephen Curry took a step across the three-point line. shot.

Lin Yi knows that Curry now has such a shooting range. After the shooting movement is improved, Stephen Curry's shooting is very threatening.

But Curry, who was eager to prove himself, made a hasty shot this time.

bang!

"Stephen Curry's shot selection is also problematic, wasting an offense in vain." Barkley commented.

"He played too hastily. There is no need to rush the ball. Stephen struggled too much tonight. In contrast, Lin played very patiently." Kenny Smith also agreed with Barkley's point of view.

During this period, the league hadn't thrown three-pointers like this, and elementary school students couldn't make it, so they would naturally be criticized.

On the court, Curry hit the iron with a three-pointer, Lin Yi took off the rebound, and the Knicks launched a transition attack. For the Knicks' transition attack, the Warriors prepared. Played the pick and roll again.

Warriors center Biedrins wants to cry, TNND, don’t play like this, you guys play the same tactics over and over again, are you tired?

The Knicks answer, of course: not tired!

Just when Biedrins was about to switch defenses with Curry, there was a tacit understanding between him and Curry, because Curry finally bypassed the pick-and-roll, but Biedrins did not expect that Curry could bypass the pick-and-roll. It's too late to switch defenses...

Larry Hughes passed back, and Lin Yi had already reached the top of the three-point line. Lin Yi was about one and a half steps away from the three-point line at this time, which was similar to Curry's shot just now.

The only difference is that he is vacant.

Lin Yi knew that this opportunity must not be missed, so he decisively kicked his legs, stayed in the air, shook his wrist, and shot!

Swish!

A super long three-pointer!

At Madison Square Garden, Knicks fans stood up and yelled along with the DJ: "Three points—!!"
