Chapter 273 Death 5 Defenses! Baibian Enlightened!
I have to say that the schedule of the new NBA season is very interesting.
The New York Knicks, with the slogan "one man, one city", will go to Miami in the first round of the regular season to challenge the Miami Heat, which has "no brothers, no basketball".
Stern is indeed a president who keeps pace with the times. The four games of the new season between the Knicks and the Heat will be broadcast live across the United States. In addition to the opening game, there will also be the Christmas game, the post-All-Star game and the closing game. .
Closer to home.
After Shane Battier agreed to play at the fourth position (power forward) in the new season, the Knicks' rotation tactics in the new season can be perfectly realized.
After figuring out the benefits that rotation can bring to this Knicks team, D'Antoni plans to start experimenting with this style of play in the preseason.
In fact, persuading Battier to play the fourth position is not difficult.
The reason why Lin Yi, who will appear at the fourth position in the new season, has not allowed the Knicks management to introduce a substitute at the fourth position is because he has seen the effect of Battier playing power forward in the future. Swaying on the fourth position, in this way, the Knicks' playing time can be fully utilized.
After all, the Knicks' two and three positions add up to 96 minutes of playing time, but there are as many as six players competing for these 96 minutes of playing time.
Comrade Battier is indeed a good comrade, and he has no objection to playing as a substitute or as a 4th position in the new season.
So far, the coaching staff of D'Antoni and the Knicks have basically finalized the team's 15-man roster and regular 12-man roster for the new season.
The list of fifteen people is as follows:
Centers: Tyson Chandler, Shaquille O'Neal, Hassan Whiteside
Power forwards: Lin Yi, Shane Battier
Small forwards: Gallinari, Belinelli, Tony Allen
Shooting guards: Wilson Chandler, Danny Green, Lance Stephenson
Point guards: Shawn Livingston, Lou Williams, Beverley, Dodge Norris
As long as the team does not have any accidents, Beverly, Dodgers, and Da Baibian will guard the drinking fountains for a period of time. The Knicks will truly carry out a 12-man rotation in the new season. At the point guard position, Livingston will play as a starter, but in fact Livingston will be a pseudo-starter, and more of his playing time is on the bench.
Finsen's dribbling is good,
During Livingston's rest time, Finson will swing to the No. 1 position. The Knicks' bench lineup will no longer be led by Lin Yilai. In games where O'Neal is not suitable for playing, the Knicks' bench lineup will be displayed. "Death Five Defenses" to deal with.
The 12-man rotation can sufficiently guarantee the Knicks' defensive strength in each quarter. Lin Yi thinks this lineup is too insane. To be honest, Lin Yi feels that he has the obligation to cut the pass button after a big lead, otherwise The defense on the opposite side is too miserable, and it will really cause a "bloody crime".
During the first week of joint training, Lin Yi was almost stopped crying by his teammates. Now whenever Lin Yi is free, he will find the "boxing champion" to single out. Of course, he is not practicing boxing, but basketball One-on-one, after all, he is not Milicic, and he doesn't want to beat Larry Brown.
After there were no media to watch the game, these guys also started to fight with real knives and guns. After a few team training games, Lin Yi's best game was 16 of 40 shots, and his shooting percentage just reached 40%. .
But this is really not Lin Yitie!
Because the rotation defense of the Knicks is not a joke, especially when facing Tyson Chandler, Battier, Tony Allen, Danny Green and Livingston's team, Lin Yi found that the pick-and-roll Tactics don't work at all.
These guys are all "blockers", not to mention the low success rate of the pick-and-roll, and even if there is a misalignment, Lin Yi can only lose face, as for rushing in?
Hmm... even if Lin Yi took five steps to rush in, his efficiency was average.
Moreover, the shooting feel will be affected by the rhythm of offense and defense. Lin Yi is very depressed now. He obviously wanted to torture others after the summer special training, but he didn't expect to be abused by his teammates first...
Especially a fat guy who always wants to be lazy on the sidelines will roll his jersey into the shape of a microphone from time to time: "Oh! A brutal jump shot from Lin, Sean Battier couldn't defend at all, but-the basket stopped again Forest!"
"In the dunk contest in 2000, we witnessed Vince Carter, a demigod, but now I want to give you a grand introduction, because Lin is not a demigod, he is a god! The real god of iron!"
Hey, don't tell me, this fat man really has a talent for commentary, but Lin Yi felt that O'Neill had spread his resentment towards someone on himself, so he couldn't bear it anymore, and Lin Yi, who didn't need to bear it anymore, walked to the fat man's room with a smile on his face. In front of him, he touched O'Neill's head.
"Shaq, the future is yours!" The corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he slipped away immediately after finishing his pretense.
Just kidding, although O'Neill's thing is small, but his fist is big!
Fighting should also pay attention to fighting and retreating, okay?
Fighting and retreating is the essence of cruelty!
The coaching staff of the Knicks can't laugh or cry, every serious training session can always be disturbed by this group of people, and Gallinari played the skills of his old New York driver, he will share a wave of experience every interval, and every time When he talked about the highlights, O'Neill would always say: "Weld the door shut, no one can get out of the car!"
Of course, Gallinari was still single because he complained about Lin Yi, so he often suffered from Lin Yi's brutal elbows.
The Knicks' third assistant coach Donaldson said to D'Antoni with a depressed face: "Mike, we are going to play the Heat in the opening game of the new regular season!"
Donaldson thinks that these people don't take the Heat too seriously!
"But, Don, do our players have slack training? Haven't you noticed that Shaq has never missed a single training session until now?" D'Antoni patted Donaldson on the shoulder.
"But Mike, Shaq is always standing on the sidelines and doing nothing ... I even suspect that his motivation to not miss the practice session is to complain." Donaldson said.
D'Antoni sighed and looked up at the sky. It seems that his assistant coach is really not suitable for leading the team.
You know, D'Antoni sees far more than Donaldson, because a good locker room atmosphere is very important. These players have a relaxed mind, but every training session counts against every second.
O'Neal is 37 years old, counting on him to train well? Just kidding, even if the Sharks are signed to make up for salary space, he is still the second highest salary in this Knicks team. If O'Neal is injured during practice, who can the Knicks turn to for reasoning?
D'Antoni is not Riley, he doesn't like any devil training, and D'Antoni thinks what Lin Yi said is right, he pays attention to the opponent tactically, and despises the opponent mentally.
Now the Knicks players are not only not affected by the media's bad news, but they are more relaxed. Such a light-packed game can easily play a game that surprises people.
The Knicks' joint practice will end at the end of September. According to the preseason schedule, they have to fly to China first, and then return to the United States after playing two Chinese games with the Houston Rockets in Beijing and Shanghai.
Yao Ming's comeback made the Chinese derby between Lin Yi and Dayao full of topics, plus O'Neal came to the Knicks, Shane Battier changed from Dayao's teammate to Lin Yi's teammate, which made many Chinese fans feel They lamented the passage of time.
It is embarrassing that the previous "Yao Shark Showdown" can still be reproduced.
...
I don’t know if the owner of the Knicks, James Dolan, is because the team saved him too much in the summer. The Knicks’ trip to China has opened the eyes of many Knicks rookies. Yes, even O'Neill was emotional, because the Knicks used a special plane to transport the freshest ingredients from the United States to China. Dolan is too proud!
The new season is just around the corner, and the diet of the Knicks players will be greatly controlled at this time. During this trip to China, the Knicks' logistical support really made the media find news.
Luxurious private plane, luxurious logistics team, as long as you can think of it, Dolan can find a way for you, even O'Neill's body type can lie comfortably in the special plane.
"I suddenly felt a little regretful. I should have come to New York last season." O'Neal touched his chin and said while lying comfortably.
"Shaq, you said you went to China, do you want to take everyone to eat spicy hot pot?" Lin Yi said eagerly.
O'Neill's eyes lit up, wonderful!
O'Neill has been to China for a long time and knows the power of spicy hot pot. After hearing the discussion between the two, Shane on the other side smiled slightly and kept silent. He would not eat spicy hot pot anyway. of.
The Knicks arrived in Beijing on October 2nd, during the National Day holiday. Lin Yi and O'Neill did what they said they would. A Chongqing chain of spicy hot pot heard that the Knicks in the NBA wanted to reserve the venue, and even their bosses were alarmed. .
Of course, the Knicks provide their own ingredients in addition to the private room. It’s not that the Knicks don’t believe in the reputation of this chain of hot pot restaurants, but that the calorie intake of these players must be strictly controlled.
As a result, the Knicks players who were very curious about the spicy hot pot were miserable. It was spicy, but it was really cool, but after the coolness, everyone felt that a certain position of themselves was hot and painful.
Lin Yi and O'Neill clapped excitedly, as if they had completed an alley-oop.
O'Neill is more and more appreciative of Lin Yi, because there are not many young people who like to die, and they are worth cultivating!
Battier smiled and didn't move his chopsticks all the time, but after seeing his teammates eating happily, this "honest man" couldn't help it anymore. Battier's chopsticks are very skillful, so he won't be beaten to death Battier, who was eating spicy hot pot, couldn't help but sigh after picking up a chopstick: "It's so delicious!"
Of course, Battier said it was in English, but it was translated into Chinese.
The next day, the Knicks head coach D'Antoni, who didn't eat spicy hot pot yesterday, was stunned during the team's training, because the Knicks players walked like pussies one by one, and they always used their hands when they played. Cover a part.
D'Antoni is a little scared. Does this team have a unique habit?
Thinking of Lin Yi being single all this time, D'Antoni felt a little flustered.
Fortunately, Lao De quickly found out the truth. After learning that the team members had eaten spicy hot pot, D'Antoni was instantly relieved. Otherwise, as an old straight man, D'Antoni would definitely stay away.
However, what surprised Lin Yi was that O'Neill and Battier had no side effects after eating spicy hot pot. He could understand it, but the kid Whiteside was obviously still reluctant to part with spicy hot pot!
He even ran over to ask Lin Yi, when will we eat again?
In the United States, where can you eat such authentic spicy hot pot? Whiteside felt that after eating this hot pot, he felt better than working for three days and three nights in a row.
"If I remember correctly, when 'Da Bai Bian' played in China's NBL, the first team he played for was Sichuan..." Lin Yi rubbed his head, could this be fate?
The reason why ‘Da Bai Bian’ became enlightened was spicy hot pot?
Sure enough, this land of 9.6 million square kilometers is full of magic everywhere!
