Chapter 466 Don't Drink Milk Indiscriminately!
Barkley's mouth is simply poisonous.
On the 13th, before Valentine's Day, Klay Thompson sprained his ankle during training.
As expected of the famous "Splash Brothers" in Lin Yi's memory, Clay's injury position this time is exactly the same as Curry's.
Of course, Clay is actually a very tough player, and the main reason for his injury this time is because he has practiced too hard recently.
After all, there is Lin Yi on the Knicks who is fucking him every day. Clay felt that he couldn't admit defeat, so he increased his training volume in training.
Lin Yi's "hardworking personality" is the culprit that indirectly caused Clay's injury this time. In fact, during the long season, it is impossible for players to improve themselves as crazy as in summer. Most NBA players during the season The task is to maintain the state and use training to familiarize yourself with the team's tactics and teammates' style... But Lin Yi is the only exception!
Clay was always a rookie, he took Lin Yi's devil training as his benchmark, and squeezed himself desperately, but this time it was over.
In the shortened season, all teams have encountered different degrees of injuries. The Knicks, who have been spared, can finally join this injury group chat, but other teams really want to kick the Knicks. Lose......
Because compared with these injured teams, the Knicks are not too healthy.
Clay is worthy of his own tolerance. The Knicks team doctor believes that his sprain is not serious, and he can play after a week of recuperation. Moreover, if D'Antoni needs it, Clay is completely OK to fight with injuries.
When D'Antoni heard the team doctor's introduction of Clay's injury, he felt a little unhappy. Peat, what does it mean to let a player fight with an injury? Am I D'Antoni the kind of person who fucks up players?
D'Antoni immediately drove Clay home and told him to rest well. If one week's rest is not enough, two weeks is fine. Anyway, he will come back after he has recovered.
And Lin Yi also found Clay at the right time, because this time Clay's injury did not exist in Lin Yi's memory, and Lin Yi did not want to see Clay become a "glass Buddha" in the future.
"Clay, you have to control your training volume. Look at Chris, his training volume is very scientific." Lin Yi used Paul as an example for Clay, telling Clay to paddle when it was time to paddle.
Most of the rookies are stunned, and Morris has recently encountered a rookie wall, and his average data per game has dropped a lot.
to be honest,
Most rookies don't know how to allocate their physical energy. Often the beginning of the season is like a chicken blood, and then after being studied by the opponent and their physical energy declines, it is easy to hit this so-called " Rookie Wall".
Clay looked at Lin Yi unwillingly, "But Lin, why has your training intensity been so high?"
Lin Yi looked up at the sky, and had to forcefully explain: "That's all an illusion you see, I'm actually doing it for the media on purpose! This is called the 'Emperor's New Clothes', in fact, I'm too lazy, as long as Absolutely no training if you can rest.”
Clay widened his eyes. Although Clay felt that Lin Yi was hiding something, Clay felt that Lin Yi was simply a monster. He was not only talented, but also always worked harder than others. The most important thing was that you followed him to the death Practice, the first unlucky one is definitely yourself.
Speaking of this injury, Clay will miss three to five games, which makes Clay very uncomfortable, because now he is not only competing with Irving for the best rookie, but also competing with Harden for the best player of the season sixth person.
"I will pay attention to controlling the amount of training in the future!"
Thinking that there is still half of this season left, Clay no longer hesitated. He decisively agreed to Lin Yi, and said that he would never train so hard during the season.
After seeing that Clay was not distracted by him, Lin Yi touched Clay's head with peace of mind, but Lin Yi didn't expect that the power of Barkley's poisonous milk could not be offset by Clay's injury of......

On the 14th, the Knicks went to Toronto on Valentine's Day. During an attack in the second quarter of the game, Billups, the Knicks' champion last season, suddenly fell to the ground!
Lin Yi, who was resting on the bench at the time, felt like a pill when he saw Billups' painful expression, because Lin Yi remembered clearly that Billups suffered a serious injury in February of this season in his previous life.
That serious injury can be said to have directly led to Billups' early retirement, because after returning from injury, Billups' athletic ability could no longer support him to continue playing at the NBA level.
Lin Yi invited Paul to join this season, in a sense, to relieve Billups' burden.
The rotation strategy implemented by the Knicks this season allows players to get enough rest time, but in fact, the painful schedule that shrinks the season is the biggest enemy of the players.
No matter how good the rotation is, it can only be said to reduce the possibility of injuries, because even the sun doctor cannot completely eliminate injuries.
105 to 97, the Knicks finally defeated the Raptors away, but Billups' injury made the Knicks players not at all relaxed.
After the MRI after the game, Billups' injury was diagnosed as a torn ankle. The Knicks officially announced that Billups would be reimbursed for the season. Many Knicks fans offered their blessings to Billups on the official website. And Billups' former teammates also sent him encouragement on Twitter.
Speaking of it, this is the first time that Lin Yi, who has a "healing" bodyguard, has experienced a teammate's season reimbursement.
Lin Yi seemed to have a halo of luck from the moment he entered the league. Although the healing technique could not be used by his teammates, under his advice, the teammates could always avoid some injuries.
The Knicks' ability to win the championship last season has a lot to do with the team's continued health.
Don't look at Livingston and Gallinari also experienced injuries in the middle of last season, but compared with other teams, these injuries of the Knicks are really negligible.
This is the NBA. No team can always be lucky to avoid injuries, but even if the luck is no longer, the Knicks still have to move forward.
After returning to New York, Lin Yi took his teammates to the hospital to visit Billups. The "big heart" was more optimistic than Lin Yi imagined. Billups, who was about to undergo surgery, even cheered on the Knicks players. , The whole Knicks team was very moved.
...
On the 15th, at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks faced the Kings back to back. In the first meeting between the two teams this season, the Knicks beat the Kings by 69 points. That game can be said to have brought the Kings to the bottom. Eighteen consecutive games without a win.
After Billups was reimbursed for the season, D'Antoni prepared to activate McGrady, but in this game against the Kings, McGrady did not play.
Although the game was back-to-back, the Knicks at home won quite easily.
The mentality of Tristan Thompson, a rookie in the Kings, has completely collapsed. The prosperity of New York, the Knicks' new season, the cheers of Madison Square Garden... In TT's view , These are all my own!
Tristan Thompson no longer wants to stay in Sacramento. It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. TT, who has experienced the world in the Knicks, is unwilling to continue to rot in Saskatchewan. From TT's point of view, he would rather sit next to the Knicks water cooler and cry than laugh while playing the main force in the Kings.
88 to 127. After Billups was reimbursed for the season, the strength of the Knicks has not been greatly affected for the time being. On TNT TV, Barkley said with emotion after the game: "This is really a blessing in misfortune. Although the Knicks Recently, some players have been injured one after another, but their key players are still able to maintain their health. For the Knicks, the upcoming schedule is extremely difficult, and they need to maintain sufficient desire to win and continue to fight!"
