Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Seven

Durant played a bit depressed tonight, you said he didn't play well?

No, the player who led the league in scoring played very efficiently tonight. At the end of the three quarters, he made 8 of 12 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 19 points.

Durant didn't take many shots, mainly because the Thunder's offense was blocked in the second quarter. After the Knicks opened up the outside line, Thunder coach Brooks replaced Westbrook.

But tonight Durant didn't think there was anything wrong with Westbrook's style of play, because the Knicks focused on marking him, and it was not easy for Durant to catch the ball. Chance.

At the end of the three quarters, Westbrook had taken 26 shots and hit 11 goals. If his 0-for-5 three-pointer is excluded, Westbrook's shooting percentage is actually more than 50%.

In addition to making 5 of 8 free throws, Westbrook was the most active and eye-catching player on the Thunder tonight. He scored 27 points and grabbed 9 rebounds at the end of the three quarters.

So is Harden not playing well?

No, no, Harden made 5 of 9 shots in the limited playing time tonight, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 15 points, which is already higher than the average level.

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Durant is even more certain after playing tonight. Compared with scoring ability, he is above Lin Yi.

But why is this guy stealing the spotlight so much?

why?

Why is this?

After the three quarters, the Knicks in the away game have already allowed the home fans to exit.

98 to 70, the Thunder has fallen behind by a full 28 points.

Lin Yi played the first four minutes of the fourth quarter. After the Thunder felt that there was no hope of chasing points, they withdrew all three players.

Brooks felt wronged to lose tonight, because the score difference between the two teams' benches was too great!

The Knicks' bench scored a total of 50 points tonight, and the Thunder's bench...if you exclude Harden's score, only 7 points...

What a pity, I must ask Presti to strengthen the bench lineup later, otherwise the talents of this wave of players will be wasted.

Brooks thought.

...

Lin Yi, who stole all the limelight tonight, was summing up with D'Antoni and the three assistant coaches of the Knicks on the bench.

"Lin, how do you know that once Westbrook goes crazy, Durant will definitely not be able to score high?" D'Antoni is in a good mood now. After the Knicks won this victory, it will be their 29th victory. 29 wins and 8 losses, this is not the Suns that Lao De led before, but the Knicks who were still at the bottom of the team last season.

It's really nice not to show off.

D'Antoni is very concerned about the total winning percentage of his coaching career. For a coach, this is their points, rebounds and assists.

"Ah, this." I can't tell you that I have traveled here, can I? Lin Yi thought for a while and replied: "The OK group also had this problem back then."

"Huh?" Lao De and the three assistant teachers all came over and listened attentively.

"O'Neal and Kobe took most of the shots back then, so it was very difficult for other players in the Lakers team to score in double figures. Even if Durant is the scoring leader, he needs at least 20 shots per game. Shots, but, in a game, the total number of shots taken by a team is always constant.”

"Durant is not that kind of paranoid, so when he sees that Westbrook has a better chance than him, he will not fight Westbrook for the shot. However, Westbrook's shortcoming is here. He can also get high scores, but the price is that he occupies far more shots than Durant." Lin Yi explained.

Old De nodded. Westbrook's final shot count was fixed at 29 tonight, and he scored 27 points in 29 shots, which was actually below the average level.

Before Harden grew up, the Thunder was still dominated by doubles and minors. Durant’s character is like this. Even though he has won four scoring titles, the highest number of shots in his career is only 20.8 per game. Second-rate.

Physical reasons?

Lin Yi didn't believe it. At the beginning of his career, Durant played about 8 to 9 minutes per game. Durant is indeed a very efficient scorer, but he is not paranoid.

In fact, there are good and bad. The good thing is that the Warriors will go to the Warriors in the future. Even if they are not very compatible with Curry, in fact, the Splash Brothers' data will not be greatly affected by Durant's joining.

Durant is partial to the team and plays reasonably.

The bad thing is that there are some games that the Thunder can't win. Although Westbrook has a small offensive arsenal, there are some Thunder games that the Thunder really can't win if he doesn't work hard to score points.

Everything has two sides.

D'Antoni felt that what Lin Yi said was quite reasonable, and said jokingly: "So, Lin, you want to say that your shots are a bit less now, don't you?"

Lin Yi smiled irrefutably, counting the shots?

Not yet.

When it's time to swipe, Lin Yi will not miss any chance to swipe the data.

He is now only one game away from being promoted to the fifth profession. After the promotion to the silver level in all professions, Lin Yi will try to see how he can play.

Now, relying on his understanding of future basketball tactics and his own advantage of infinite dislocation, it is the limit to play like this while ensuring efficiency.

Be selfish?

of course.

The Knicks have a good record, and people will evaluate him even higher. After all, LeBron James failed to bring the bottom team into the playoffs in his rookie season.

Lin Yi's goal is not as simple as scoring once, twice, three times, or four times, five times, or six times...

To become the first person in NBA history.

The first thing to cross is the series of data left by the flying man Michael Jordan.

Jordan led the Bulls to the playoffs in his rookie season, and the "old rascal" is really perverted.

Fight monsters, upgrade, brush data!

These are the three core tasks of Lin Yi's rookie season.

...

126 to 89, the Knicks beat the Thunder by 7 points in the away game.

Lin Yi played 0 minutes in the game and scored the Knicks' highest stats of 25 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and blocks, adding another triple-double to his career database.

Lin Yi has hit three triple-doubles and one quadruple-double this season, the most among rookies this year.

"Can he surpass Magic Johnson's record of seven triple-doubles in his rookie season?" Barkley asked curiously after the game.

"I still think that quadruple double is more scary." Kenny Smith said, the heart is pierced, Kenny Smith should brag, although Barkley suspects that Kenny Smith is afraid of being pierced by Lin Yi again up...

After the game, Harden was obviously a little frustrated when he was interviewed. If the words he said after the game were translated into Chinese, it would be: it is easy to regret the mountain, but it is easy to shake the forest.

Lin Yi didn't even know that he had left such a psychological shadow on the still weak Harden.

Westbrook is an optimist. He feels that the next time the two teams play against each other, the Thunder will definitely win back. When referring to Lin Yi, Westbrook said: "He is a good player. teammate."

Westbrook was very happy, because Lin Yi said he was the best defensive player, and he also felt that he was underestimated by the media on the defensive end. He felt that he could work hard, and Durant was about to win the scoring title. , It seems good to get a DPO by yourself?

Maybe Durant will be in the All-NBA team this year, maybe he will start in the second team. Westbrook doesn't want to fall behind Durant too much. If he works hard on defense, he thinks he has a chance in the second team of the best defense You can hit it.

On the contrary, Durant is a little depressed. In his eyes, Lin Yi is now his number one enemy!

Obviously he is now leading the scoring list, but in the West, his popularity cannot compete with Anthony. The Duncans don't ask for votes. Once "Stone Buddha" speaks, who knows how many votes Duncan will have, and there are still some forwards in the West. Nowitzki, Gasol...

Don't even think about starting in the All-Star Game.

But why no one praises him?

Obviously his style of play is also very "sci-fi" and exaggerated.

"Kevin, did this game tonight make you aware of the gap between you and Lin?" A Knicks media asked provocatively.

ha?

Gap, brother, have you watched the game yet?

Durant made up his mind that the next time he plays against the Knicks, he must let the whole team give him unlimited shooting rights.

And what the hell are Harden and Westbrook in Quarin Yi!

I'm your teammate, right?

Kevin - I am very tired and want to change my teammate - Durant.

"Okay, don't feel bad, let's go eat cake together, that cake shop has launched a new flavor." Westbrook pulled Harden and Durant together after the game.

"I agree! Desserts can always make people forget about defeat." Harden nodded and said, what "big devil", go to hell, Harden feels that being with Lin Yi is too heartbreaking.

"Yeah." Durant nodded. In fact, it's not bad to have such two buddies.

The future must be ours.

Durant clenched his fists.
