Chapter 435: 2 Big Cake Spitters! Get a Makeover!
On the 18th, the Knicks played an away game against the Nets in the preseason. The Nets moved to Brooklyn in the new season was a complete tragedy, because the Nets' new home, the Barclays Center, has become a sea of joy for the "traitors".
When the Knicks players entered the field, the cheers had completely overwhelmed the home team.
The Nets were silent... Everyone felt a little pain in their chests.
As we all know, Madison Square Garden is known as the "Mecca" of basketball. In Lin Yi's previous life, the Knicks, who did not win the championship, could crush the Nets in terms of prestige.
The Nets didn't have confidence in themselves when facing the Knicks. Their head coach Jr. Johnson called the Barclays Center the "Taj Mahal" of basketball in an interview... obviously from the heart.
After more than a hundred days of absence, Knicks fans have been impatiently looking forward to the start of the new NBA season. Obviously they are playing at home, but the Nets players found that when they attack on the court, the whole The harsh boos came from the stadium...
The Knicks did not give the Nets too many chances in this preseason game. The only bright spot in the game was that the duel between Paul and Deron was moved to the Eastern Conference, Lin Yi changed to play small forward, and several Knicks rookies performed well.
In this game, the confrontation between Paul and Deron lasted about 15 minutes. After the "shuanglong tear", Deron is no longer the omnipotent Delong, but it is still no problem to beat Paul while eating and sleeping. .....
Paul was made very uncomfortable by Deron. After leaving Sloan, De Xiaopang began to completely let himself go. The unreasonable offense in the offense increased, and Paul was forced by Deron several times.
When Paul was being bullied by Xiaopangdun, Lin Yi quickly saw the problem with Deron's style of play. It was impossible not to get injured in this style of play. It's gone downhill.
And Paul is still adapting to the Knicks' new tactics. In this game, Paul played 4 of 12 in only 20 minutes and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
Although the suffocated Lin Yi only played for 23 minutes, the fans who came to watch the game felt that the ticket was worth it.
Because after Lin Yi switched to small forward, it was difficult for opponents to keep up with the Knicks' offensive rhythm by placing a small drop in height. The Knicks' insiders benefited from this. Lin Yi easily scored 17 points, 8 rebounds, 8 A quasi triple-double with assists.
The Nets gave Humphries a one-year $8 million contract in the new season. He performed well against Lin Yi last season, but this season, it’s really not Humphries who was forced to defend. Pot, but the inside line of the Nets can't stand the Knicks!
Da Mo, the shortest insider of the Knicks, is actually about 205 centimeters tall, while Motel, Boxing Champion, and Baibian are all seven feet... After Lin Yi pulled the Nets' inside line out, he played back and forth in various ways. It's called a relaxed, happy and harmonious.
Paul's heart hurts, it's all his assists!
Lin Yi is so indifferent, he actually turned all his assists into indirect assists!
The same scene also happened in the preseason of the Lakers. Nash, who averaged 11+ assists per game last season, was closely guarded by Kobe. The old man who played 19 minutes actually only had 2 assists...
"Someone still suspects that I'm not Komi!"
Lin Yi found that his ability to spit out cakes was almost the same as that of Kobe. No, the regular season of the new season has not officially started yet, and Paul and Nash have already announced their withdrawal from the competition for the assist title in the new season.
The Knicks' rookies all have eye-catching performances, and the focus is mainly on Klay Thompson. One of Klay's major tasks in the new season is to fill in the three-point firepower after Gallinari left. Klay is also unambiguous. Coach D'Antoni's task of throwing 6 three-pointers per game, his eyes sparkled, and he threw it as soon as he came on the court.
The Knicks have developed a lot of off-ball pick-and-roll tactics for Clay. Clay is not only accurate in three-pointers, but also in mid-range shots. In this preseason game against the Nets, Clay made 8 of 14, including 6 of 3-pointers. Medium 5,
He scored 21 points without free throws!
The Knicks media were overjoyed, thinking that the Knicks had found a treasure in the draft, and the New Yorkers seemed to have forgotten the Italian cannon, and gave Clay the nickname "American Sniper".
Watching Klay catch and throw the ball, Paul wanted to apply to lead the bench lineup. Now I can finally understand why the Knicks had the ball most of the time in the hands of Billups last season. As a result, "Big Heart" Averaged 4.7 assists per game this season...
Crooked, 911! Without Lin Yi spitting out cakes like this!
In addition, it’s okay to spit out cakes. After all, singles is a major feature of Lin Yi. The key is that Paul sees Lin Yi turning his wonderful pass into his own. I am very sad.
Paul looked up at the sky, and just as he was nostalgic for the days when assists were always in double figures, Lin Yi returned to the bench and complained: "Chris, your number one point guard is not worthy of the name, look, our The rookies are almost becoming second in command."
Paul hit Lin Yi's knee like a hammer, and the Knicks champions suddenly nostalgic for the time when O'Neal was still there. You must know that no one can stop Lin Yi from dying.
The Nets can't play against the Knicks. The most suitable tactic for Deron is the pick-and-roll.
Lin Yi wasn't worried that Paul wouldn't be able to adapt to the new style of play, but he suggested to D'Antoni that he and Paul's playing time could be appropriately staggered, otherwise Lin Yi felt that Paul's children's shoes would go crazy if he kept spitting out cakes like this.
On the 22nd, the Knicks returned to Madison Square Garden to usher in the last preseason game. The regular season openers of the new season were played on Christmas. Lin Yi felt the malice from Stern.
President: I want you to shut down, I will let you all start working on Christmas, don't even think about resting!
The opponent of the Knicks in this game is still the Nets. This time the Nets resisted for a little longer. Lin Yi still only played for 20 minutes before going down to rest. The reason why the Nets resisted until the last quarter this time was because of their rookie horse Shane Brooks opened.
Marshan Brooks is another player who changed his life against the sky after returning to the CBA. Marshan, nicknamed CBA Kobe, is really a Kobe style of play. This style of play requires the cultivation of ball possession. Marshan's body The quality is not top-notch, and the Nets will not train him.
But I have to say that the CBA is really a magical league.
Of course, there must be some inevitability behind these accidents. Ma Shang has the ball in the CBA. Even if the intensity of the game is not high, it is easy to show his confidence.
Paul, who had staggered playing time with Lin Yi in this game, finally felt the joy of the game. He scored 13 points and 6 assists in the game, of which Clay contributed 4 assists to him alone.
This catch-and-throw style of play is indeed an artifact of assists.
So Lin Yi, who was sitting on the bench, looked back at Lao De affectionately, "Coach, I have a bold idea!"
...
After two consecutive victories in the preseason, the Knicks had a day of training on the 23rd. On Christmas Eve, D'Antoni gave the players a day off. The two preseason games could not test the real strength of the Knicks, but they became more confident after winning the championship. D'Antoni knows that this Knicks team is stronger again.
In the new season, D'Antoni will not put too much burden and pressure on the players. Old D'Antoni plans to use the game as a substitute for training. The shrinking season will not arouse the Knicks players' desire to chase the record. Everyone knows that defending is king. , everything else is false.
On the 24th, Lin Yi invited Clay to spend Christmas with him. You know, other Knicks players and their families are enjoying the peace brought by the festival. Clay wants to go to a nightclub to start the first day of the new year One shot.
Lin Yi specially bought a few philosophy books by great men and gave them to Clay. How could he be so decadent at such a young age? Accept the transformation from socialism well!
Clay can't beat Lin Yi, and he needs Lin Yi's help for many things. He really has to study under the eaves!
It's just that in Lin Yi's villa, looking at Lin Yi who is making love to Olsen, Clay really wants to know, boss, are you really inviting me to Christmas? Are you sure you didn't come here to treat me to dog food?
Fortunately, there is still that Sakasky in Lin Yi's villa. Clay likes pets very much. He can play with that chubby Pippi mouse all day.
After the meal, Clay refused the request to play 2K with Lin Yi, mainly because Lin Yi was too lazy and only used the Knicks!
You know, in the new version of 2K12, Lin Yi's ability value has been adjusted to 96 by 2K. The reason why 2K dare not give Lin Yi a higher value is because it is afraid of disrupting the balance of the game.
Clay is very dissatisfied with 2K, because he only had a score of 74 in 2K12, and another look, the guy named Stephen Curry actually got 84...
"Lin, next year I must let 2K give me a score of over 80!" Clay clenched his fists and said angrily.
Lin Yi touched Clay's head. In fact, what Lin Yi thought was, if the labor and management really had the ability value of 2K, wouldn't it be a blow to the entire league?
It's a pity...it turns out that the game is still crooked than reality!
In 2K12, many players felt that Knicks should be banned, because in addition to Lin Yi's score of 96, Paul also had a score of 94 in 2K12.
Lin Yi's main reason is that the 221cm model is too abnormal. With the 80+ speed given to him by 2K, Yao Ming is not such a bug!
And Paul mainly can do a lot of high-level dribbling combos under the operation of many masters. The pick-and-roll of these two people is incomprehensible in the game.
Of course, there are still many Knicks fans who are very dissatisfied, because on the Heat's side, James has a score of 98 and Wade has a score of 96!
In the eyes of Knicks fans, Lin Yi should have an ability score of 99 to be reasonable.
2K: Are we easy!
In any case, after the peaceful Christmas Eve, the stormy season of 11/12 is finally about to begin!
