He won the first victory in the opening game of the Christmas game and scored 42 points to become the temporary scoring leader. Lin Yang is still quite satisfied with his condition.

After winning the first victory, the Knicks met next was not strong, and now the Knicks, with many powerful players, is difficult to defeat when facing some lottery-level teams.

The Knicks have more time to study how the two inside players should coexist on the offensive end in these games.

There are some methods, such as Stoudemire standing at the high position and Chandler standing at the low position, Stoudemire becomes a mid-range pitcher similar to Juwan Howard.

However, this only occasionally plays. After all, in the bones of the little bully, he is still the top brutalist inside player in the league, playing in the penalty area.

Another way of playing is to let the two insiders pull to the high position at the same time for a double cover, and then when the opponent's inside is empty, the Little Overlord uses his excellent speed to penetrate the inside.

However, if you want to play like this, the offensive conditions are very harsh. You have to have a player with good three-pointers, good passes, and a threat of breakthrough to attack.

Fortunately, there are two such people, Lin Yang and Fei Dun, but this also tests the three-pointer feel of these two that night. If you can't score goals all the time, who will set up defense on the outside?

It is normal for Stoudemier to play a little depressed in this lineup. Although the team won 6 consecutive victories, Stoudemier's data has obviously declined compared to last season.

He averaged 54% shooting percentage and scored 18.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 steals. This data is not too bad when the fourth position is in decline. Except for Nowitzki, no fourth position is higher than him. Duncan and Garnett, the fourth position that used to call the wind and rain, is not as high as his.

But he himself is not very satisfied. Although the Big Three players had the right to pass the ball last season, everyone knew that their scores might drop, but last season they still averaged 23 points, and this decline was acceptable. Now, the average average of 18.2 points is obviously difficult to accept.

Correspondingly, Lin Yang's scoring data rose sharply. Even in such a Big Three team, Lin Yang's average score per game ranked second in the league after six games.

Average of 31.4 points, 6.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 0.5 blocks, second only to Durant's 32.7 points in the scoring list.

Why is the score so high? First, the growth of the three-point level. In the 6 games this season, Lin Yang's three-point shooting percentage has reached 37.1%. This level is already considered good, and the more accurate the three-pointer, the more comfortable his breakthrough is, it will undoubtedly make him feel.

Second, Stoudemire's moves were reduced in the positional battle, and these extra moves would not be distributed to Tyson Chandler, but to Anthony and Lin Yang.

It is normal for Stoudemire to complain, but the team won six consecutive victories. Although they were all natives, they were at least an NBA-level team. No matter what, if Stoudemire complains now, it must be the locker room problem caused by him. So he wouldn't say anything at this critical moment?

But this is a hidden danger. D'Antoni trained Stoudemier's head coach very early. In fact, he knew Stoudemier very well, so he naturally knew that Stoudemier now had some idea in his mind, and this problem must be solved. But he had to wait for an opportunity, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.

In the seventh game, Lin Yang had a quit, which was not something D'Antoni was intentional. There was no way. During training, Lin Yang had a sprained ankle and had to miss two games.

In the seventh game, the Knicks faced a rival that was not weak, last year the third in the Eastern Conference, and now the Celtics are four wins and one loss.

Without Lin Yang in this game, it would be difficult to lose the Knicks, who had the team's chief scorer, and fans also felt that this game was difficult during the discussion.

But they didn't expect that they would lose so badly in Boston this time.

He was 17 points behind in the first half and lost 23 points 84:107.

The Celtics are not a strong offensive team. As the Big Three are aging, they often score less than 100 points, but they still scored 107 points on the Knicks. More importantly, they only scored 84 points.

Although there is no Lin Yang, the Knicks have Fatton, Anthony, Stoudemire, and a good basic rotation. In the eyes of fans, even if the Knicks don’t have Lin Yang, they are still strong offensive teams. I don’t know that this 84 points is still playing five years ago.

In this game, Lin Yang was not there, so the team naturally gave more opportunities to Stoudemire, who had not taken many moves in the previous games, but his performance was much worse than he imagined.

Garnett is always old and is not good at offense. After being seriously injured in 2009, it has nothing to do with the word "powerful offense".

But his defensive ability is still there, and Stoudemire was only scored 24 points by such an old guy who defended 10 of 26 shots in the game.

The little bully seems to have a little effect on the empty cut. The unique skill of being able to play singles at a high level frame does not seem to have that much lethality, either a blacksmith or a mistake.

This amount of shots and the scores obtained together are not the efficiency of a superstar.

If Stoudemire could have said that Lin Yang took away the right to take action at the beginning, now, it doesn’t sound that bad to score 18.2 points with a 54% shooting percentage.

But Stoudemire was still trapped in deep self-doubt. After losing this game, Stoudemire was quite silent on the plane back to New York. In the past, he was definitely the happiest person on the entire plane.

Perhaps others and even the Knicks fans were puzzled, but D'Antoni, as the head coach, was quite clear that Stoudemire did decline.

The 29-year-old Stoudemire should be at his peak, but this kind of brutal power forward always declines a little earlier than other types of players, and Stoudemire has suffered a lot of injuries in his career.

He was reimbursed for the season in 2005, and was absent due to eye injury in 2009. In the last season of the regular season, he was injured again. And from the playoffs, it can be seen that his condition has declined. However, everyone understands that when he just returned, he basically failed to play his inside advantage when playing against the Heat.

It was obvious this season that he jumped faster than before, nor was he as high as before, and his explosion speed was not as fast as before. The decline of a Brutalist violent current power forward began with the deterioration of these physical fitness.
