Chapter 182: Oklahoma City! Meet Durant Again

In the end, the Rockets failed to cause too much trouble for the Knicks. The only thing that made the Rockets fans happy was that McGrady scored 16 points in this game.

The "wheat" are very sad, since when I scored 16 points in Mac is it worth opening champagne to celebrate?

109 to 96, the Knicks easily won the away game. Rockets coach Adelman was very depressed after the loss. You must know that before the game, he carefully arranged and designed many tactics to restrain the Knicks in his opinion.

But in this game, the Rockets made 11 fewer free throws than the Knicks...

Of course, Adelman would not think that it was the referee's problem that caused the Rockets to lose. After all, the Knicks are the one that attacks more inside.

In addition, after the third quarter of the game, Adelman found out that his belief that Hayes could guard Lin Yi was purely an illusion.

Rick - always naive - Adelman.

It's true that Hayes' defense is good, but the premise is that it must be a top defense. Lin Yi is so quick to get the ball, "Hai Ye" is also very desperate!

Moreover, Lin Yi, who was fighting and retreating, discovered after attacking the inside a few times in this game. As long as there is a little physical confrontation, the referee will call a defensive foul.

There is such a good thing?

So Lin Yi used the future Harden's trick, and after rushing in, he opened his arms and shouted in pain.

It's a pity that Lin Yi doesn't have a big beard, otherwise he would definitely make more fouls.

But don't tell me, the referee didn't mean to favor Lin Yi on purpose.

Because referees are human beings, the league has not amended the rules for "foul cheating" during this period, and many of Lin Yi's offensive opponents have indeed committed fouls, so this is why Adelman feels that the referee has nothing to do with this loss .

As for some balls that can be blown or not, if the referee really blows, you have nothing to do, even if it is your home court.

So in this game Lin Yi took 15 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 9 two-pointers, 18 of 20 free throws, 34 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.

He scored 34 points with only 15 shots. This is a very efficient statistic. In the future, Harden will often score high with low shots. Even if Harden makes 1 of N shots, he can always score more than 20 points.

It is also worth mentioning that,

After the game, some media mentioned Lin Yi's ultra-long three-pointer.

According to ESPN data, Lin Yi is the player with the most ultra-long three-point shots and hits in the NBA this season. Lin Yi's ultra-long three-point shots this season reached an astonishing 61 times, ranking first in the league. Among them, 23 hits, with a hit rate of 37.7%, and the number of hits is also the first in the league.

Although this data cannot be compared with the future Ku Hao, it is already very unique for a league that is not very popular with ultra-long three-pointers during this period.

"Will you participate in the three-point contest? Lin?" the media asked curiously.

Three-point contest?

Lin Yi didn't make a decision this time, because first of all, the NBA three-point shooting contest may look simple, but it actually consumes a lot of energy, but this proposal is very attractive.

Win the three-point shot contest and the slam dunk contest at the same time?

Lin Yi planned to seriously consider this suggestion, so he slapped the media haha, neither admitting nor denying it.

...

After defeating the Rockets and saying goodbye to Dayao, Lin Yi and his teammates flew to Oklahoma City.

In the next game, in Oklahoma, they will challenge the upstart in the West - the Thunder.

For the Thunder general manager Presti, he really regrets it now.

What he regrets is that he was not decisive enough in the summer. If he had been more decisive at the time, why not send Westbrook for Lin Yi?

Even Presti believes that Lin Yi's future upper limit may be higher than Durant's.

In his rookie season, Durant is still practicing, and Lin Yi's rookie season has brought the Knicks over.

Although at present, Presti thinks that Durant is better than Lin Yi, but Lin Yi's upper limit is really...too high!

With 61 points in three quarters, Presti felt that if Durant feels good, he can also play.

But a quadruple-double... that's scary.

Obviously I was the one who discovered Lin Yi's talent first, so why wasn't I determined enough at the time?

...

Presti came to the Thunder's training hall to visit the players today. Thunder coach Brooks is in a good mood this season, and he doesn't need to play badly anymore. Brooks believes that the time to display his talents and realize his ideal revenge has finally come!

This season, the Thunder's winning percentage has been above 50%. After two seasons of training, Durant has fully played out. This season, Durant averaged 20.3 shots per game, with a total shooting rate of 47.6%. Able to score 30.1 points!

Currently, Durant leads the league in points per game and total points. Brooks is very happy, because coaching a scoring champion is a very pleasant thing, and Durant's efficiency is very high. Almost everyone is out of position. It's also easy to arrange.

If it weren't for Lin Yi's big show, Durant is actually really eye-catching this season.

Of course, in the eyes of the Thunder uniforms, it would have been better if Durant hadn't said the stupid thing about wanting to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water.

Speaking of which, Durant is also true...In Lin Yi's memory, he really flirted with Scarlett Johansson, but Scarlett Johansson ignored him at all, but his teammate Westbrook was very close to the opposite sex Yes, interacting with Megan Fox on Twitter always makes Megan Fox laugh.

"How?" Presti patted Brooks on the shoulder.

"Very good. The team is in very good shape now. If we can add a strong defensive inside line next year, we will be able to achieve a lot. Kevin, Russell and James are all very talented players." Brooks said happily.

Westbrook this season also confirmed Presti's vision. He averaged 16.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, but his shooting percentage was just 41.1%. Only 22.2%.

But Westbrook can often score some incredible goals in the game, especially the small tomahawk dunk in the fast break, which is the favorite of home fans.

In fact, Brooks also knew about Presti's selection plan for the summer. Unfortunately, to be honest, if possible, Brooks really wanted to coach Lin Yi.

Although Lin Yi's score is not as high as Durant's, but this kid's golf quotient, after watching the Knicks video, Brooks couldn't help feeling: Maybe we really missed a chance to dominate the league.

But fortunately, this group of Thunder is also full of talent.

Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Jeff Green...

Brooks feels so lucky to be able to coach such a talented team.

"Even without Lin, this lineup can rule the league for ten years!" Brooks felt that his future achievements in the basketball field might surpass Phil Jackson.

Huh, didn't Phil Jackson just coach Jordan?

O'Neal's grandma coached Jordan to win the championship!

In the training hall, Durant is doing shooting practice silently.

He has exploded this season, but for Durant, he is really not happy.

Of course Durant knew about Lin Yi, and he even thought that Lin Yi was going to be his teammate with him. For this reason, he searched for videos everywhere and studied how to cooperate with a player like Lin Yi.

But now...Look at Lin Yi's record book!

61 points in three quarters, lore Lakers, quadruple double...

And the terrible number of all-star votes, even if Durant doesn't admit it, he has to admit that Lin Yi is much more popular than him now.

Durant knows that the popularity between him and Lin Yi is really not comparable in one dimension.

I am still some distance away from starting the All-Stars in the Western Conference, but now, does anyone think that Lin Yi can't be the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference?

Unless Howard finds someone to break Lin Yi's leg, right?

So in this game against the Knicks, Durant really didn't want to lose, because he wanted to tell people that he was better than Lin Yi.

"Hey, Kevin, don't be so sad, isn't it because Scarlett doesn't give you bath water? Come on, it's from Russell's special Gatorade." Westbrook threw a bottle of Gatorade to Durant Le, joked.

Oh hell!

Durant doesn't like the joke, and he even... dislikes Westbrook, because this guy is really a little too optimistic.

Don't you know we're going to play the Knicks next game?

Can you be more serious?

Of course, Durant still smiled on the surface, "Russell, I like the cake you invited me to last time better than your special Gatorade."

Westbrook smiled, "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time, and by the way, I'll also call James, hey, James is very serious today."

Durant thought to himself: Do you think everyone is as big-hearted as you.

James Harden is certainly serious.

Because during the NCAA period, he didn't think he was worse than Curry and Lin Yi.

Curry, who has been criticized by people before, began to rise sharply after entering January, but Harden can only be the sixth man. James Harden is not reconciled.

"Never lose to Lin! Even if he is the leader of the group, he can't lose!" Harden thought.

...

While the Thunder were training before the game, the Knicks also arrived in Oklahoma City.

"It's such a small city..." Gallinari looked hopeless, it's better to play at home!

"Come on, Danilo, didn't you just lose love?" Belinelli complained.

"Oh, hell! I've found a girlfriend again!" Gallinari said while looking at Lin Yi.

Sure enough, if you don't die, you won't die.

So Gallinari was beaten up by Lin Yi again.

"Okay City! This time it's the genuine Thunder Three." During his NCAA debut, Lin Yi remembered that Durant, Green, and Westbrook all came to watch the game.

There is also Presti, the general manager of the Thunder. Although he failed to join the Thunder, Lin Yi is still more grateful to Presti for paying attention to him.

"Lin, do you have any good suggestions for this Thunderclap game?" D'Antoni's three assistant coaches have no love in their lives, hello! We're the teaching assistants, right?

Lin Yi smiled.

He doesn't know about other teams.

But for this Thunder team, he really has a lot of good suggestions!
