0109 Chapter Lin Yi's small note
On October 31, the New York Knicks flew to Charlotte without stopping to challenge the bobcats that are not yet the Wasp.
The flight game tests the players' physical fitness. The first big victory gave the Knicks players a lot of rest. When the team's victory was decided, D'Antoni would not stubbornly fight the main players.
In 2010, the Bobcats officially entered the "Jordan era".
Lin Yi remembers that in 2010, the NBA League board officially approved the deal to acquire the Bobcats for $275 million.
The Bobcats are now a team on the edge of the playoffs, and "Elvis" Gerard Wallace is the leader of this team.
Gerald Wallace is a wing defender with strong athletic ability. His only disadvantage is his average three-point shooting ability. However, Gerald Wallace's three-point shooting percentage has increased a lot this season. Lin Yi remembers this is the most accurate season for Gerald Wallace's three-point shooting, with an average of 0.8 goals per game and a shooting percentage of 37.1%.
The Bobcats got Stephen Jackson in the summer, and it turns out that Captain Jack is much better than the dunk king Richardson. If he doesn't shoot in a flash, Stephen Jackson is definitely an All-Star player.
In addition, this team includes Lagabell and Tyson Chandler.
After seeing the Bobcats' roster, Lin Yi knew that this game would be a fierce battle because the Knicks' schedule was a bit painful...
After this away game, they will fly back to New York to play their first home court of the new season. This back-to-back, the league's arrangement is really sinister!
...
Lin Yi knew that this Bobcats were much harder to deal with than the Heat. In Lin Yi's memory, the Bobcats also made it to the playoffs, and this Bobcats had one of the few players who could defend Lin Yi at the center position alone at the current level.
That's Tyson Chandler.
Tyson Chandler has excellent lateral movements. Lin Yi remembers that the Mavericks can truly limit the Heat Big Three in the future finals and Tyson Chandler has a lot to do with them.
At its peak, Tyson Chandler had a wide defense area, could defend against pick-and-roll, assist in the penalty area, and defend the defender alone. In the finals, the Heat's Big Three complained.
What's even more amazing is that after Lin Yi's memory joined New York, he actually made New York's defense ranked among the top in the NBA with a bunch of outside cancers.
This is an underrated defensive player. Lin Yi is ready to give management advice to ask the team to dig him over when Tyson Chandler's contract expires.
Before Lin Yi's level was fully improved, Tyson Chandler was a big threat to Lin Yi.
The most important thing about him is to keep up with Lin Yi. Tyson Chandler's defensive level is not only in position selection and athletic ability, but also knows how to use rules to interfere with offensive players.
Even the top NBA defenders are not easy to play against Chandler. After all, not every Chandler in the NBA is called Parsons.
In addition, Gerald Wallace and Lagabe are both outside players with outstanding defensive skills. It will be difficult for New York to get an easy phone out of the outside world in this game.
The Bobcats' top scorer Stephen Jackson is also a drawling player, and no one can stop him once he draws.
What kind of face-blocking interference is not feasible for such a dry-pull-type player who only relies on the feel of the hand.
If it works, Jaylen Ross won't kneel down for Kobe.
Of course, this type of player also has a common problem, that is, they often become undercover agents of their opponents.
Before the game, Lin Yi and coach D'Antoni had dinner together. The two had a great time talking, but no one knew what the two talked about...
...
Bobcats are indeed difficult to fight.
This head-on confrontation with Tyson Chandler confirmed Lin Yi's conjecture. With the plan before the game with Desperate, Lin Yi deliberately added his off-ball offense in this game.
Although Larry Brown, the head coach of the Bobcats, is a diehard, he still has his own unique features in building a defensive system.
In order to prevent the Knicks from giving pick-and-rolls to the inside, he brought the powerful athletic Gerald Wallace to the fourth position. In this way, Lin Yi could only play pick-and-rolls with the small defender. Lin Yi could still score by relying on misalignment, but unfortunately his teammates were inaccurate in this game.
To put it bluntly, the people on the New York outside are all looking for the sky to have a meal!
If the feel is good, you can play Heat in three quarters. If the feel is not good, it is purely aiding the board.
Tyson Chandler also happens to be a master at protecting backcourt rebounds.
The best player in the New York Knicks played in this game was David Lee. This handsome guy in the floor has his own experience in playing such a team. If David Lee had not scored 28 points and 14 rebounds in this game, the New York Iron and Knicks would have really suffered a big defeat.
Real David never dunks and saves energy. Lee used his efficient performance to keep the suspense of the game to the last moment.
Unfortunately, the New York Knicks still lost this iron match.
In the second game of the new season, the Knicks lost to the Charlotte Bobcats 89-97 away.
"Second Battalion Commander" Garlinari made 4 of 15 shots in the game, made one of four three-pointers, and relied on three of 4 free throws to barely scored 12 points and 4 rebounds.
Al Harrington was in no form, making 2 of 11 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and only scored 4 points and 7 rebounds.
Lin Yi was as stable as ever. He used misalignment to jump shots or empty cuts to play without the ball. In the whole game, Lin Yi made 7 of 13 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
Lin Yi made up his mind to find a way to get Tyson Chandler next season.
With Tyson Chandler and himself guarding the penalty area, Lin Yi was not afraid of the breakthrough team after he got up.
In addition, Lin Yi plans to divide the strong teams he remembers into one, so that even if he doesn't join forces, he can find a way to win the championship.
After this game, the Knicks fans were not as blindly optimistic as before. You should know that some optimistic Knicks fans even shouted the Knicks championship slogan after the team defeated the Heat.
It is much harder to realize this slogan than to win the Lakers championship.
Public opinion generally believes that the Knicks have indeed become stronger, but they are not very stable, especially the Knicks have obvious shortcomings. They lack players who can play pick-and-roll with Lin Yi in the number one position, and their substitutes are relatively weak.
ESPN said that Lin Yi is more suitable for partnering with point guards with super breakthrough ability. His success with Stephen Curry in college was by no means accidental.
Don't say it, the Knicks really made Stephen Curry's idea, but Old Nelson pointed directly at the nose of the Warriors uniform group and said, "Unless I enter the coffin, no one can trade Stephen Curry."
The Warriors' uniform teams were helpless, and no one could refute what Old Nelson decided.
Lin Yi knew very well that it would be difficult for Stephen Curry to trade as long as he went to the Warriors. Old Nelson would not agree that it was one of them. New York had no bargaining chips that could impress the Warriors except himself.
In addition, it is not far from the time when LOGO men join the Warriors.
As long as the LOGO man arrives in Auckland, the primary school students will be really unsold items on the Warriors' shelves.
If Curry can't beat him up, the Knicks management will be in trouble.
How to strengthen this?
Boss Dolan meant that they wanted to find a way to strengthen, but this really couldn’t strengthen it!
Who would trade his super defender to New York?
At this time, aren’t Paul and Deron Williams the top point guards in the league at the peak?
The era of defenders has not yet begun, and most of the defenders in the league are more modest.
At this time, Lin Yi quietly handed a small list to Javier Stanford and was about to meet the team's deputy general manager after returning to New York.
Lin Yi learned from Javier Stanford that his boss Dolan had told the Knicks management: "As long as it is Lin Yi's request, try to fulfill it."
