Chapter 191: All-Star Ticket King! Meet Me Again!
On January 15, the Knicks finally returned to New York. Gallinari, who has been eating "vegetarian" recently, can finally go to "drink tea" as he wished. You know, Gallinari was suffocated in the recent away games.
The Knicks, who are in the limelight, ushered in the challenge of the Toronto Raptors at home. Before the game, Lin Yi and DeRozan dunked each other in the warm-up half of the opponent.
"DeMar will also participate in the slam dunk contest in the Dallas All-Star Game. He averaged 9.8 points per game this season, and he can often perform wonderful fast-break dunks in the game." Kenny Smith said.
At this time, DeRozan is not the king of the North, the star of the Raptors is Chris Bosh.
Perhaps because of Lin Yi, the Raptors were more patient with Bargnani, the No. 1 pick picked by the team in 2006. The Raptors believed that Bargnani still had potential to be tapped, and encouraged him to be like Lin Yi. Easy to play like that.
But Lin Yi knew that Bargnani's limit was like that. In the peak season of his career, Bargnani averaged 21.4 points per game, and then there was nothing else.
During this period, the NBA began to pay more and more attention to big men who could shoot. Bargnani could not be said to be the No. No.
...
In this game against the Raptors, the Knicks lost very happily.
The reason for the loss...Although the Knicks didn't hit 27 irons in a row, Lin Yi grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds in this game...
The Knicks' group of helper madmen are really crazy!
Lin Yi scored 22 points and 21 rebounds in a double-20 plus data, but there was no way, even David Lee, who has always been the most reliable, was rarely inaccurate in this game.
Rebounds can indeed change the direction of the game, but when you play the whole team, you can't save the team with rebounds alone.
In addition, the Raptors played very well in this offense. Bosh was a stable 20+10 player in his peak period. The performance of the Raptors is worthy of the word "Dragon King".
It is worth mentioning that after this game, the big men who move fast and can shoot in the NBA are expected to increase in price. Although the Raptors failed to completely restrict Lin Yi in this game, at least the Raptors proved that, Lin Yi can still be guarded.
In the first few years of the new century,
Because of O'Neal, the value of many meat shields in the league has skyrocketed.
In the second decade of the new century, because of Lin Yi, these big men who can shoot and fast in the league finally ushered in their own spring.
Lin Yi almost spit out the steak he just ate when he saw the news, because he knew that even if he didn't show up, which big man in the future league wouldn't shoot three-pointers?
Even Brook Lopez switched careers and became an outside spot-up shooter. Ren Daluo was a low-post killer at the beginning of his career, okay?
This is the development trend of modern basketball. Lin Yi did not expect that this "credit" would be given to him because of his appearance.

The saddest one is Ben Wallace. Ben went down to watch the drinking fountain after 6 minutes of the game. The coach of the Pistons, John Kuster, couldn't help feeling that Ben was really getting old.
During this period, Daben did not have such a fast pace. His height was originally supported by his explosive head. Lin Yi showed his power in the interior of the Pistons. pair.
Of course, after Lin Yi's operation was as fierce as a tiger, the Knicks finally lost to the Pistons 101 to 109 in the away game.

The Knicks players got it right, Lin Yi's rebounds mainly depended on the assists of the Pistons players, Stuckey, Hamilton, Will Bynum and other Pistons all helped the outside line, Lin Yi had a great time grabbing the rebounds. For three consecutive games, Lin Yi really became a "crazy rebounder".
The improvement effect of the silver-level "Crazy Rebounder" badge is significant. With Lin Yi's height and wingspan, Lin Yi's average rebounds per game this season has exceeded 10, and he is now a 20+10 player. And he averaged 7.9 assists per game, the highest among all inside players.
Of course, many top supporting insiders in the league have expressed different views on this: Can that guy Lin Yi be an insider? Where does his style of play have anything to do with the inside line?
