Chapter 216: The Little People's Counterattack! Most Have Been in New York!

The smooth sailing Knicks encountered trouble after returning to New York.

The reason was that the team's starting point guard Tony Douglas suddenly sprained his ankle during the morning training session.

In fact, Lin Yi had already advised Douglas to control the amount of training and not to practice so hard.

But since Chris Duhon left, Douglas has been serving as the Knicks' starting guard. Although his playing time is much lower than that of Louis Williams, Douglas feels that his opportunity is coming, so he must grasp it.

Didn't you see Lin Yi practicing so hard every day? The boss of the Knicks is still training so hard. Douglas doesn't want to let the team trust him, so this unlucky kid keeps training more every day.

Regardless of the fact that Douglas doesn't have much playing time, he knows that his talents are limited, so he tries his best to be himself on both offense and defense in every game.

The Knicks are lucky not to suffer any major injuries this season. Douglas's sprain is not fatal, but the team doctor still advises him to rest for 4 to 6 weeks.

Douglas looked frustrated. Knicks coach D'Antoni discussed with the three assistant coaches after the morning training session. Everyone felt that it would be better for Lu Wei to play as a substitute.

"Dodge, get ready for the game against the Bulls tonight, you start first." When D'Antoni said these words to himself, Dodge Norris was stunned.

He kept pointing at himself, repeatedly making sure the manager wasn't joking with him.

"I'm going to start! I'm going to start!!" Excited, Dodge Norris hastily called his brother, Muchinoris, and then kept sending text messages to his relatives and friends.

First off, it turns out that there are pies in the sky?

In order to live up to the expectations of the coaching staff, Dodge Norris found Lin Yi immediately.

"Boss, how should I fight at night?" Although Dodge Norris was 8 years older than Lin Yi, in his eyes, Lin Yi was his boss.

This fringe player who has worked hard in the summer league and NBDL for many years was able to get the contract of the Knicks in the summer, largely because of Lin Yi's recommendation.

In the summer, Dodge Norris listened to Lin Yi and practiced defense and three-pointers hard. He is not tall, only 180 cm, and light in weight, only 75 kg.

You know, it is too difficult for a player with a height of 180 cm to prove himself in the NBA, but Dodge has never slackened himself.

He is optimistic by nature, so when he learned that the Knicks were willing to give him a basic salary contract, Dodge Norris thought that Lin Yi would be kind to him.

Dodge is a typical dead-headed person. After realizing that Lin Yi is the boss, he hugged Lin Yi's thigh tightly.

So in the preseason, after seeing Lin Yi being stepped on, Dodge shot decisively, and he and El Baron got the title of "Lin's bodyguards" for this reason.

At that time, Dodge Norris felt that he was finished, because he had to be suspended for 30 games, and he would be cut by the Knicks in all likelihood.

But what Dodge didn't expect was that not only was he not fired, but Lin Yi also paid the fine for him.

And now, he is going to start tonight's game against the Bulls.

So after Dodge was happy at the beginning, he immediately thought of asking the boss for advice.

This season, Dodge Norris has played 7 times on behalf of the Knicks after returning from the ban, averaging 1.8 points and 1.1 assists per game, which is full of water cooler administrator data.

"You are fast, and you are good at circling blocks in training. If you are facing Derek, try to entangle him as much as possible, and don't give him an easy shot. Derek's shooting ability is average, and you are here. Even if he wants to You can't stop him, so don't try to prevent him from dying, just keep harassing him like a fly." Sure enough, he is the D'Antoni in Lin Yi's memory, don't look at Lao De who likes to kill the main force and employ people boldly In this regard, he can definitely count in the NBA.

In Lin Yi’s memory, in Jeremy Lin’s season, the Knicks’ guard was exhausted. At that time, everyone generally believed that the Knicks would seek a trade or sign a veteran to make the transition.

But D'Antoni waved his hand and directly increased Jeremy Lin's playing time to 30 minutes per game.

When he was in the Suns, Stoudemire was injured. People thought that the Suns were going to make up for an inside line or something. As a result, D'Antoni directly promoted Diao, and played a good record with the inside line formed by Diao and Marion.

D'Antoni is such a person. He is the main force, but he is also very good at tapping the potential of the team. The saying "the strongest man is already in the team" is also applicable to D'Antoni.

D'Antoni is very clear that Lu Wei is more suitable to play as a substitute. Dodge Norris's ability is not close, but he has a good attitude and has three points. The Knicks guard now only needs to dribble the ball across half court to Lin Yi. Out of the ordinary, Lao De really wanted Lin Yi to play the starting point guard.

Dodge Norris took every word Lin Yi said to heart. This is the first time he started in his career. Douglas will still be out for a while. If he can seize the opportunity, he will definitely be able to add a lot of playing in the future time.

The Dodgers are eager for a stable contract. The NBA is so cruel. It seems that superstars can easily earn a lot of money, but more and more people are fighting their lives for a basic salary.

...

Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks continued to play against the Bulls tonight. The last fiasco made the Bulls hold back their energy, especially Rose. Rose thought about it tonight. Take 30 points, 40 points.

Elizabeth Olsen came to watch the game today, and Lin Yi also noticed that Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johansson were also here.

New York deserves to be a treasure land of geomantic omen, so Lin Yi stepped forward to greet the three girls amidst the envious eyes of his teammates.

"Lin, I'll come to you next offseason. Can you teach me how to play basketball?" Scarlett Johansson looked up at Lin Yi. Lin Yi felt that sooner or later he would be killed by the fans of the "widow sisters". "Sister Widow" has become my little fan girl, what should I do? Waiting online, very urgent...

"Lin, I also want to learn how to play basketball!" Taylor Swift said while looking down at Scarlett, as if to say, you are too short, so go play.

crooked! Can you take into account my own feelings!

I want to train, I want to play!

Basketball is my life!

On the Knicks' bench, Gallinari watched the scene thoughtfully: "Maybe I finally know why Lin is single."

David Lee leaned over curiously: "Why?"

"A man like him is useless no matter how handsome he is. He is destined to be alone forever." Gallinari said.

Elizabeth Olsen suddenly felt that she had no advantage at all compared with Taylor and Scarlett. Now Lin Yi's popularity was simply too scary. Olsen felt as if she was drifting away from Lin Yi.

No, how can you just give up like this? Elizabeth Olsen suddenly remembered that hamster and that Erha.

"Lin, I'll come to you when I'm free. Let's walk the dog together." That's right! I have advantages they don't, Elizabeth Olsen thought.

Lin Yi: "..."

TNT TV station, Barkley complained: "Lin Ke is really popular with girls, do you think Durant will ask him to a duel?"

Kenny Smith laughed loudly: "I don't think so, because Lin can use mineral water bottles to bottle Scarlett's bath water, so that Durant can get his wish."

On the court, the cross talk combination of TNT also noticed that the Knicks adjusted their starting lineup tonight.

"Douglas' injury should have some impact on the Knicks. Let's see if their starting point guard Dodge Norris can play this position tonight," Barkley said.

...

At the entrance show, Dodge Norris panicked.

This is Madison Square Garden.

Dodge Norris looked up at Lin Yi beside him in admiration.

That's the stage he plays every night.

Especially when Lin Yi played, the entire Madison Square Garden seemed to have been hit by an earthquake.

Dodge felt a little flustered.

At this moment, Lin Yi's big hand suddenly touched his head.

"Relax, just like training, shoot if you have a chance, and give it to me if you don't have a chance." Lin Yi said to him.

At this moment, Dodge Norris felt as if there was a light above Lin Yi's head.

"I'll work hard, boss!" Dodge Norris clenched his fists.

"Come on! Pistachios!" Gallinari patted Dodge Norris on the shoulder.

"Don't be shy, you are the one who dares to make fun of Lin in the locker room." David Lee said to him with a smile.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you are out of position, I can defend against two." Chandler said as he went further and further on the 3D road.

And from the sidelines, D'Antoni's kind eyes.

Dodge felt tears rolling in his eyes.

To be able to play on this Knicks team.

It's really good.

After taking a deep breath, Dodger walked onto the court with his teammates.

He saw Derrick Rose.

The pride of Chicago.

The shortest No. 1 pick in the NBA in the past 13 years.

The last No. 1 pick was the god in Dodge's mind: Allen Iverson.

"Compared with him, I'm one in the sky and the other in the underground, right?" Dodge laughed at himself.

But he didn't back down.

Because he has a bunch of good teammates.

...

"Game start!"

Following Lin Yi's success in jumping the ball, Dodge rushed to the basketball's landing point. He steadily protected the ball and moved forward. The basketball was like his child, and he did not allow anyone to take the basketball from him.

"It's a strong sense of oppression." Rose's defense is not the most outstanding among defenders, but such a top player always exudes an aura involuntarily.

Especially tonight Rose is a red-eyed bull.

Lin Yi mentioned the high position to give the Dodgers a pick-and-roll.

Dodge felt that at this moment, he couldn't hear any sound, as if he was deaf.

He carefully dribbled the ball and advanced from the other side. Lin Yi's pick-and-roll was of high quality, but Rose couldn't keep up, and Noah's switch was too slow!

"It's now!" Dodge didn't hesitate.

Before this game, he once asked Lin Yi when was Lin Yi's peak moment.

61 points in three quarters? Or a quadruple double? Or the slam dunk contest champion? All-Star Game MVP?

The Dodgers are really envious of these monsters who not only love basketball, but also have such high talents.

"Lin, do you know that the brightest moment of my career is today."

"Because I can also tell my children in the future, your dad used to start in the NBA, and your dad used to be teammates with a great player like Lin!"

Dodge's shooting posture is not standard, and even a little crooked.

But in the summer, he accelerated his shooting speed.

He knew that for a smaller guy like him, he had to shoot faster to not get blocked.

When the basketball flew towards the hoop, Dodge subconsciously clenched his fists.

Swish——!

"Good job." When his teammates patted him on the shoulder one by one, the excited Dodge looked around.

When the cheers were louder and louder, Dodge Norris looked at Derrick Rose with firm eyes.

Perhaps, I am nothing in front of your eyes.

However, I also have something to defend.

I love basketball.

And go crazy about it.

I would give anything for it.
