Chapter Ninety-Six New York's New Magician
Lin Yi's back number in the new season is No. 44. D'Antoni once asked him if he wanted to wear No. 23. This proposal was rejected by Lin Yi. To put it bluntly, the number is blown out. If wearing the number 23 can really make Michael Jordan, then everyone should wear the number 23.
Moreover, Lin Yi had his own selfish intentions, so he deliberately found a more biased number, so that after he typed this number, he could be conferred a god. Think about it, in the future, everyone will not wear the 23rd and change to the 44th, Lin Yi How proud is Yi himself?
On October 1, the New York Knicks ushered in the preseason debut of the new season at home.
Madison Square Garden is overcrowded, and the New York football market is already hot. After the video of Lin Yi's team training game was released, many New York fans loved him even more.
Lin Yi hasn't signed a sneaker contract yet. He knows that this sneaker contract will be more valuable when he plays in the NBA. Lin Yi is not short of money for the time being, and he has asked Xiao Zhong to find a suitable partner for him.
Lin Yi is not familiar with other things, such as League of Legends, Eating Chicken, and King of Glory have not come out in this period, plus the webcast platform, and some other things, Lin Yi wants to make money just relying on these It's not difficult.
Moreover, Riot Games is a small company now, and it would be great if they could become a shareholder. Lin Yi was a little excited when he thought about bringing these NBA stars together to masturbate and play chicken games.
Hayward hasn't entered the NBA yet, otherwise Lin Yi, a game expert, would really like to compete with him.
New York's first preseason opponent is the Atlanta Hawks.
The Eagles have performed well in the past few seasons. In the lineup, there is the King of Eagles singles Joe, Josh Smith who can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, and Al Horford, a center in 2007 with good mobility. Jamal Crawford, the former No. 2 Marvin Williams who made a successful transition, the newly drafted Jeff Teague, the traded Mike Bibby...
No matter how you look at it, the Hawks' lineup completely blows up the Knicks.
Hey, this is what people say when people are more popular than others.
Although the Eagles have never been a big team, they can always pull out a strong team in the playoffs every few years. Compared with many impetuous Eastern teams, at least the Eagles' uniform team is getting paid and doing practical things. of.
Madison Square Garden deserves to be the hottest home stadium in the NBA. When players from the two teams were introduced to the field, the cheers from the fans at the scene made Lin Yi fully experience the thrilling feeling of the NBA.
The only pity is that the preseason system doesn't accept it, otherwise Lin Yi will definitely apply to play for 30 minutes every game.
The Knicks' starting five are center Lin Yi, power forward David Lee, small forward Al Harrington, shooting guard Gallinari, and point guard Chris Duhon.
This lineup can throw three-pointers except for David Lee. Although David Lee has the shortest range in the starting lineup, as an excellent opportunist and a true "pie front", David Lee is the one who opens up the space. strong ability.
The Hawks' starting five are point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Marvin Williams, and center Al Horford.
The game was broadcast live on TNT TV, and No. 2 Linmi Barkley in the United States said: "New York has joined Lin in the new season, and they will definitely make it to the playoffs."
Buckley was always inexplicably confident in his own judgment, and he smacked at Lin Yi again.
Kenny Smith said arrogantly: "The Eagles are a strong team in the playoffs, and their lineup is far above the Knicks."
Barkley did not refute, "But this is a preseason game. I hope the Knicks can bring us some changes. They are called rotten apples every year. I don't know if they can get rid of this title this year."
On the court, the three referees in charge of law enforcement today are Tony Blathers, Ken Moore, and Ed Malloy.
David Stern also turned on the TV at home. New York is one of the teams he wants to support in the new season. After Yao Ming was reimbursed for his serious injury, the Knicks are currently the most popular team in China. Stern has already moved from the Chinese market. He has tasted the sweetness, and he also watched the video of Lin Yi's training game that has been circulated. He firmly believes that this different Chinese big man can boost the New York ball market.
For Stern, he prefers to attack good-looking teams. What defense, let's all die, okay? How can fans possibly pay for a defensive team? If New York plays well, Stern doesn't mind taking care of the Knicks in the new season.
After all, the Knicks are generating revenue for the league every year.
At the start of the game, when Horford jumped up in the jump ball competition, he realized that Lin Yi was too tall!
Moreover, Lin Yi's jumping speed was much faster than Yao Ming's. With his wingspan, Horford watched Lin Yi's jump ball helplessly.
The fans at the scene burst into cheers. The New York Knicks have not had their own head star for many years. For a city with an insider complex, Lin Yi is their favorite in the new season.
Chris Duhon dribbled steadily through the half court. The two brightest seasons of this point guard's career were played under D'Antoni. Recklessly.
As soon as the dribble passed halftime, Chris Duhon handed the ball to Lin Yi.
"The center pulls to the high position to support, it seems that this will be the Knicks' main style of play in the new season." Barkley said.
"Is Lin trying to make a breakthrough? But this is not the NCAA." Kenny Smith broke the stage.
On the court, Lin Yi tried it out. Al Horford's mobility is good. If he simply does a crossover, it's not easy to shake him. The Hawks' defense is indeed very good.
Lin Yi called for a pick-and-roll, when Knicks power forward David Lee stepped up.
The inside line picks and rolls for the inside line?
The fans of the New York Knicks and the audience in front of the TV were all happy.
David Lee's pick-and-roll quality is good. The center's ability to circle the pick-and-roll is much weaker than that of the guards. No matter how good Horford moves, the Eagles' power forward Marvin Williams can only switch defenses. At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly stopped watching. Throw your hands inside!
How could a cake eater like David Lee miss his chance?
Easy pick-and-roll down the two-handed, oh, easy two-handed alley-oop layup.
Never waste an extra point of physical strength, this is David Lee's label, no matter how gorgeous the offense is, it is also two points?
David Lee and Lin Yi clapped their hands.
On the Knicks' bench, several guards feel the pressure. Lin Yi seems to be more threatening to play pick-and-roll with the inside than they are with the inside?
That's right, although the opponents in the NBA don't know much about Lin Yi, they all know that this guy can take three steps directly from the three-point line. They are weak.
David Lee is a good pick-and-roll player, and he is quite skilled in cooperating with Lin Yi.
"Oh my god, don't look at the empty catch, Lin is the 221cm version of the magician!" Barkley praised.
Kenny Smith found that he couldn't fight back, so he fell silent.
There were bursts of applause at Madison Square Garden. Lin Yi's playing movements were elegant with three-pointers. Fans were willing to buy them if he played well. This is an eternal truth.
When the Eagles came back, Joe Johnson made a calm mid-range shot. Gallinari was more than active in defense, but he was inexperienced. After Joe got old in singles, he could still lead the Jazz and a bunch of frizzy boys in the playoffs. Gallinari Can't stop Joe Johnson.
On the Knicks side, the ball was in Lin Yi's hands again, Horford looked resentful, wouldn't he pick and roll again?
It’s okay to pick and roll with the guard, but what the hell is the pick and roll between you and the inside?
Just when Horford was hesitating whether to switch defenses, Lin Yi suddenly seized the opportunity to break into the inside line. Lin Yi's step was too sudden, and he made a breakthrough at the moment when he and David Lee completed the pick-and-roll.
Lin Yi was so flexible that Horford couldn't react.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi copied the no-look elbow pass in the training game. Al Harrington was not soft after receiving the ball and hit a three-pointer!
5 to 2!
Barkley laughed so hard that his body almost fell back, "Oh! My God, is he really a center forward?"
Kenny Smith said: "But such a fancy pass is actually not practical."
Of course Lin Yi knew it wasn't practical. This is a preseason game. It needs to be practical. Of course, it's to make the fans happy!
After Lin Yi made two assists in a row, he pointed his fingers at the New York fans, and the fans responded with cheers.
David Stern in front of the TV was also happy, this kid is fine, and New York fans fell in love with him in such a short period of time.
