Chapter 131: City of Angels, Showdown!

After the Knicks' several deals were concluded, their three new aids would not be able to join the team until November 27 at the earliest. Therefore, the Knicks adjusted their starting lineup for the first two games of the Western Conference's three-game streak. Tony Douglas was put on the starting lineup.

For the arrangement of the team, Nate Robinson of "I can't help it" is very dissatisfied. He thinks he is stronger than Tony Douglas.

D'Antoni is more straightforward. This trip to the Western Conference didn't bring Nate directly. Anyway, the Knicks' lineup, it doesn't matter if you give D'Antoni ten people or seven people.

Nate Robinson was dumbfounded. He is a two-time slam dunk champion. How dare the Knicks treat him like this?

Can it still coax you?

In Lin Yi's memory, Nate died because of talking too much. The Knicks originally planned to trade him. If there was no team in the market that wanted to take over him, the Knicks uniform team would have let him go.

After all, Nate still has a certain value, and the Knicks hope to come back with a reliable outside line.

...

The Knicks arrived in the City of Angels on the evening of the 24th. Lin Yi is no stranger to this place. In the summer, he and the other five members of the six-member team conducted special training in Los Angeles, and here he also met Elizabeth Olsen.

On the morning of the 25th, the Knicks held a public training session, and the media couldn’t get away from Lin Yi’s 61 points in three quarters. It is said that Kobe Bryant said in an interview after Lin Yi scored 61 points in three quarters: “I think Lin Yi is very similar. I!"

And according to industry insiders, Lin Yi mentioned it more than once in public or in private: "My idol Kobe Bryant once said..."

After the training session, a reporter asked, "Lin, how do you feel about playing against your idol tonight?"

It seems that my identity as Ke Mi has been confirmed, I wonder if my waist will be stabbed by Ke Hei?

Lin Yi looked at the reporter and said seriously: "My idol Kobe Bryant once said that no one has seen what Los Angeles looks like at four o'clock. I got up for training at four o'clock in the morning, but it was a pity that I was reported as a nuisance."

The reporters were a little confused, what does it mean to disturb the people?

But it seems that Lin Yi is really Kemi! This game is very interesting!

...

The American media had already warmed up for tonight's game between the Knicks and the Lakers, especially Lin Yi's 61 points in three quarters, or Kobe's 62 points in three quarters, which was more difficult, and became the most controversial topic for a while.

New York and Los Angeles are originally the largest and second largest cities in the United States, but in comparison, the fans of the Lakers are much happier. As one of the few two giant teams in the NBA, the Lakers aim to defending.

In addition to Kobe Bryant, their lineup also has Bynum, Gasol, Odom and other powerful players, and the Knicks finally got rid of the "rotten apple" under the leadership of Lin Yi this year. Title, in the eyes of the Lakers fans, the Knicks are an upstart with no background at all.

On TNT TV, at the beginning of tonight's program, Kenny Smith staged a good scene of kissing the ass of a donkey, and Barkley on the side laughed from ear to ear, not to mention how happy he was.

"Haha, Kenny, doesn't it taste good?" Barkley complained.

Kenny Smith gave Barkley a blank look, and shot back: "It tastes better than yours!"

The fans in front of the TV were immediately amused, and they would not really think that Kenny Smith and Barkley kissed. Boring commentary?

"I want to say that the gap between the Knicks and the top teams is quite large. The biggest highlight of tonight's game is undoubtedly Lin, who scored 61 points in three quarters, and Lin, who scored 62 points in three quarters. It's a matchup between Kobe.

"Kenny Smith rinsed his mouth and came back to continue explaining.

"I think 61 points in three quarters is as great as 62 points in three quarters. There is no need to argue who is more difficult, but it is really not easy for the Knicks to win tonight." What Barkley said recently has become more and more reasonable. Kenny Smith couldn't refute again.

But in fact, Kenny Smith didn't notice that the fat man Barkley was actually bragging about Lin Yi!

Barkley is more and more able to brag about Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi is the No. 1 pick, he has not finished his first season as a rookie, but what about Kobe? He is a superstar who has proven himself in the league.

Barkley said that 61 points in three quarters and 62 points in three quarters are equally great, and he was indirectly praising Lin Yi.

...

Speaking of which, this is the first time Lin Yi came to the Staples Center. Before the game, he saw Kobe Bryant who was very focused on warming up. Ecstasy, that is...

Bang, bang, bang!

It cannot be explained in words, it can only be felt.

This Lakers team is the top team in the league. D'Antoni didn't put too much pressure on the players before the game. The Knicks are now ranked third in the Eastern Conference with outstanding results. D'Antoni doesn't like to put pressure on the players because it will restrict them play.

The starting five for the Knicks tonight has been set early, with Lin Yi, David Lee, Harrington, Gallinari, and Tony Douglas starting.

For the fact that there is no backup point guard in the lineup, Lao De's handling method is also very simple and rude. He will increase Lin Yi's playing time tonight. point guard".

Lao De's arrangement did not cause any controversy in the team. In normal training, the Knicks players have long been accustomed to Lin Yi, a 221 cm big man, to handle the ball. Don't mention it, Lin Yi's organizational skills Let everyone be convinced.

The Lakers' starting lineup tonight is also their usual starting five this season, center Bynum, power forward Gasol, small forward Artest, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Derek Fisher you.

Phil Jackson and D'Antoni are also old acquaintances, and the two exchanged pleasantries before the game.

When he was about to jump the ball, Lin Yi noticed that Bynum looked at him very unfriendly, but this guy is really fat!

In Lin Yi's memory, the nickname given to Bynum by Chinese fans is "An Zhu", which is a homophony of his surname Andrew.

Lin Yi doesn't know why Bynum is so hostile towards him, but Lin Yi is confident that he can beat Bynum, because the "nickname" given to him by Chinese fans is not for no reason, and Bynum's moving speed is indeed very slow.

When encountering a super center, Bynum is a question of giving points. He has a strong ability to abuse food, because the Lakers have Kobe on the outside and Jiasao who can play the ball inside. Nothing tasteless.

Lin Yi remembered that after leaving the Lakers, Bynum became fatter every day, and his finishing rate at the basket plummeted, and he disappeared from the NBA not long after.

But Lin Yi is really lying down this time.

One day ago, in the Lakers team training class, the Lakers coach Phil Jackson decided to arrange Artest to defend Lin Yi in the game against the Knicks on the grounds that Bynum would definitely not be able to guard Lin Yi. easy.

Although Big Phil also has a lot of black spots, but as a constructive coach, if you give him a good hand, he will still play.

After watching the Knicks' previous game video, Phil Jackson made a decisive judgment, that is, let alone Bynum, Gasol was at a disadvantage when he met Lin Yi, compared to Artest who has weight , has a wealth of small defense experience, and it is the best choice for the Lakers to arrange him to defend Lin Yi.

The Zen master did not expect that his arrangement would attract Bynum's dissatisfaction. Bynum did not dare to confront the Zen master face to face, but felt that the Zen master looked down on him in his heart.

One of the main reasons restricting Bynum from becoming a true super center is that he has no self-knowledge and lacks a clear understanding of himself.

He thinks he is already the No. 1 center in the West. Although Lin Yi is the No. 1 pick, Bynum doesn't think he is worse than Lin Yi.

Or is it said that IQ determines whether a player can become a star?

Ren Zen master just said that you can't guard against Lin Yi, and Bynum thinks that Zen master thinks that Lin Yi is better than him. In fact, Zen master doesn't think so at all, Bynum just thinks too much.

Lin Yi didn't know that he was lying on the gun for no reason. Before the game started, Kobe patted Lin Yi on the shoulder to show the senior's encouragement to the junior.

After Gasol learned that he didn't need to guard Lin Yi himself, he talked and laughed with Lin Yi before the game.

Lin Yi doesn't know, how to defend him now has become the most troublesome problem for all teams in the league.

Especially those insiders who were once famous in the league, their prices have dropped after they played against Lin Yi. In the inside circle of the NBA, Lin Yi has already got a very unfriendly nickname.

True Insider Terminator: Lin Yi.
