Chapter One Hundred and Sixty The Storm Is Coming
After the big victory over the Bulls, on February 9, the Knicks ushered in back-to-back again. This round they returned to Madison Square Garden to face the Los Angeles Clippers.
The most interesting thing about this game is that the Knicks fans greeted the Clippers players with enthusiastic cheers when they came out. They also stood up and applauded him collectively.
Some fans who don't pay much attention to the NBA couldn't help asking curiously: Do the Knicks and the Clippers have a deep friendship? Or did Dunleavy Sr. play for the Knicks?
Why are the Knicks so friendly to the Clippers?
Some fans who know a little bit about football tend to raise their heads at a 45-degree angle at this time, pretending to say deeply: "Because this is love!"
It is no secret that the Clippers selected Lin Yi and Griffin as the No. 1 pick in the summer draft by tossing a coin. It was like being stabbed in my heart one after another with knives.
Clippers general manager Orsi regretted that he did not insist on keeping Lin Yi, and the old Dunleavy also regretted that he was too superstitious about Griffin's talent.
Of course, the most fun is the Clippers owner Sterling.
When the Clippers traded with the Knicks, when Sterling learned that the Knicks would compensate the Clippers with part of the cash, the Clippers owner laughed from ear to ear and praised the team general manager Orsi for his good work.
And Sterling showed off everywhere when the league convened meetings with various bosses.
"We picked up a future All-Star and a wad of money for free. It feels so good!" Sterling sneered at New York boss Dolan in front of the team owners, saying he didn't know how to spend the money. , will not do business at all.
But Sterling did not expect the slap in the face to come so quickly. Griffin was reimbursed for the season due to injury before the start of the new season. Lin Yi turned around with the Knicks after the start of the season. For a while, the Clippers became stupid synonymous with.
Because they were the team that picked Lin Yi.
Especially after the game in which Lin Yi scored points in three quarters, Sterling immediately criticized the team's general manager Orsi and the team's head coach old Dunleavy.
"How did you do it? How could you do such a stupid thing? I paid you to come here, not to make you angry with me!" Sterling felt that he was very angry, and suddenly he changed from shrewd Sterling has become a stupid Sterling in the eyes of others.
For Clippers general manager Orsi, this may have been the brightest stroke of his managerial career, and the result...
For the Clippers head coach Old Dunleavy, he had the opportunity to coach Lin Yi, but in the end...
If the sky does evil, you can still live.
Self-inflicted, tsk tsk...
People, if you don't die, you won't die.
But if you don't die, can it still be a small broken boat?
Just because Baylor has been in charge of the Clippers uniform team for so many years, it is really a ghost that the team of the little broken boat can rise.
...
All the achievements of Lin Yi in the new season are a great stimulus to Blake Griffin who is recuperating at home.
Griffin is the unluckiest guy, right?
Silly Fen is sitting at home,
Pot from the sky.
Because of Lin Yi's affairs, team owner Sterling didn't have a good look at him at all. Shafen was not the No. 1 pick, and the attention he received in the Clippers was much lower than Lin Yi's memory.
Lin Yi really felt that even Da Luo Jinxian would not be able to save the Clippers.
This is a truth that everyone can understand. Now that the mistake has been made, isn't the most important thing for the Clippers to do now is to cultivate Griffin more carefully?
As long as Griffin can play, the Clippers can immediately save the situation. After all, Griffin hasn't played a game yet, hasn't he?
In the end, the Clippers seemed to believe that they were the idiots that people said, and they were charged with the crime when they came up...
Sure enough, it is normal for Sterling to be tricked by his girlfriend Stiviano, who is 5 years younger than him, in the future. If you think about it, you can understand how the league can make the Clippers have such great commercial potential.
Gao's team fell into the hands of Sterling, a man who loves to die?
You must know that after the Lakers signed with the Warner Times in the future, the league has always wanted to support the Clippers, but Sterling's death has never stopped for a day.
The most important thing is, knowing that Stiviano who likes to go to the locker room to tease players is not a good woman, you still take her by your side every day? Are you in love with me?
Sterling's accident was not accidental, but inevitable.
Even if there is no recording door, the league will definitely give him some other charges, because it is too easy to get Sterling.
...
TNT TV called this game between the Knicks and the Clippers Lin Yi's revenge battle, but to be honest, Lin Yi couldn't hate the Clippers at all.
Because Lin Yi is very happy that the Clippers sent him to New York!
Are the strong teams in the Western Conference so fun? During this period in the Western Conference, if you have a winning percentage of more than 50%, you may not necessarily be able to enter the playoffs.
In contrast, the East is simply paradise, with a clear structure and many weak teams, Lin Yi is also handy in collecting statistics.
This was a somewhat funny game. The Knicks defeated the Clippers without too much effort. The Clippers head coach Dunleavy looked at Lin Yi. You can't tell if it's envy or jealousy. Still regret it?
5 to 94, the Knicks easily won the Clippers at home. Lin Yi played 29 minutes in the game and scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks. In this game, Lin Yi mostly paddled, not because Lin Yi deliberately wanted to Paddle, this Clippers is really too weak...
After the game, Lin Yi was asked the most about how the Clippers traded themselves in the draft. To be honest, Lin Yi really can’t hate the Clippers, even if the Clippers can still follow the historical track Collect Jordan, Griffin and Paul, but they can't rush out of the West.
I don't even regard you as an opponent anymore, why should I add insult to injury?
"I think Blake has great potential. I don't have any special feelings about this deal." Lin Yi shrugged and offered Griffin a hand. As for whether the Clippers themselves will kill Lin Yi, I don't know.
Because Lin Yi knew that Shafen's popularity was quite explosive in the first few seasons of his career. With Shafen's explosive style of play, the Clippers will not lose, right?
...
On the 20th, the Knicks ushered in an offseason day, and at this time, on a plane returning from Felix to Washington, Caron Butler, one of the three Musketeers of the Wizards, was experiencing his own career. A major turning point in my career.
Because of the $00 gambling, Wizards star Arenas and teammate Crittenton had a dispute, and the two swear words again and again.
The general manager of the Wizards hoped that Butler could persuade the two, but after some persuasion by Butler, Arenas and Crittenton not only showed no signs of stopping their quarrel, but intensified it.
"Don't let me see you on the training ground, you trash!" Arenas said angrily to Crittenton.
"What do you mean? You know what I will do?" Crittenton did not compromise because of Arenas' threat.
"I'll carry a gun," Arenas said.
"I'll carry a gun, too," Crittenton said.
Butler felt that the two might be just angry for a while, and he planned to wait until he returned to Washington and went to the training ground to mediate between the two.
But Butler thought too much.
