0183 Chapter Under the Russian city, the three British fight against Lin Yi!
Perhaps because Oscar really has nothing to play with, Garinari woke up very early this morning. When participating in the team training class in the morning, Knicks coach D'Antoni also pulled Garinari aside and criticized him alone.
Look at you, if you are so energetic every morning, are you still worried about not being able to enter the All-Star?
When Lin Yi saw this scene, he suddenly felt that it would be better to send Garlinari to the Thunder to be his teammates with Harden?
These two definitely have a common topic.
Of course, the above is just a joke.
For tonight's game, the Knicks adjusted the starter, and the team's sixth man Louis Williams was promoted to the starter, which made Lou Wei very excited. After all, compared to the sixth man or something, a passionate young man like Lou Wei, of course, prefers starting more!
In addition, veteran Harrington will also appear on the Knicks' starting list tonight. Gallinari, who had been starting the game before, was very depressed. The handsome Italian guy secretly came to ask Lin Yi if he really made D'Antoni angry.
"Come on, Danilo, have you made the coach angry less? You have better substitute in this game, this is a tactical need." Lin Yi touched Garlinari's head. Such a handsome person must be bald, perhaps because of his feelings. Lin Yi felt that Garlinari's hair seemed to be missing a lot on the top of his head.
Four and a half hours before the start of the game, the Knicks players had their last meal before the game. They were prone to sleep after eating, and some NBA players were also "rectile" and always liked to eat...
...
Russia City, Ford Center Arena, this arena has not yet been renamed Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Speaking of Thunder, we have to mention their boss Clay Bennett.
The team owner is a native of Oshu. He dreams of having his own NBA team.
Originally, Nate's plan was to slowly erode the Spurs, but he didn't expect that the witty Spurs would be able to see through... Otherwise, Ox City might have had an NBA team long ago.
Of course, as the price of withdrawing shares, Bennett is coming from the Spurs. Presti is definitely a "cheating" existence. In addition to choosing a group of potential rookies for the Thunder, during the Spurs, it was under his strong suggestion that the Spurs chose Tony Parker, one of the future "GDPs" in the 200 NBA draft.
Having said that, after failing to "snatch" the Spurs, Bennett successfully acquired the Seattle Supersonics under Stern's push.
After joining Seattle, he was unwilling to build a new basketball court, so Bennett began to plan a grand plan to relocate the team.
To move, of course, you have to move back to your hometown.
The fans of Ox City are very enthusiastic. When the Hornets encountered Hurricane Katrina, the Hornets briefly moved to Ox City for a while. At that time, the fans of Ox City left people with the impression of passion, madness, etc.
Later, facts also proved that although Oscar was small, their fans were definitely good fans.
There is a special routine when the Thunders plays at home, that is, unless the home team completes the first attack, the home Thunder fans will never sit down.
The Knicks' record so far this season is 2 wins and losses, ranking third in the East, while the Thunder has 23 wins and 3 losses, ranking eighth in the West. The situation of strong West and weak East is already very obvious. The Thunder's record can rank fourth in the East...
"Charles, people say that Kevin and Lin are two future fighters. Kevin is the league's scoring champion so far this season, while Lin leads New York to a strong Eastern Conference team. Who do you think you are more optimistic about these two people?" tnt TV asked Kenny Smith.
Barkley said: "These are both very distinctive. Kevin has been completely opened this season. His playing style is very mobile and his opponents always have a headache when defending."
"Where is Lin? His playing style is similar to Kevin. It will always cause dislocation between the opponent and him. It can be said that both of them are very strong and will definitely become superstars in the future." Barkley was not partial to anyone and refused to give Kenny Smith a chance to avenge him.
Kenny Smith is not in a hurry. He believes that Barkley, who is "Lin Blow", will definitely show his strength in this game.
When I saw James Harden again at Ford Center Stadium, Lin Yi discovered that Harden's beard had a future prototype at this time, and the "stupid" fat man finally began to embark on the road of "big bearded".
As the sixth man of the Thunder, Harden averaged about 25 minutes per game this season, and he can score 9.9 points, 3.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
No matter who it is, I guess I won’t think that the three Thunder can become VPs in the future, right?
Presti's vision of choosing people is really...Tsk tsk, choose a VP a year. If the Thunder boss is replaced by Dolan, can this Thunder team dominate the league?
Westbrook, who hummed Taylor's new song, was not very fond of Lin Yi. In his heart, he still liked Griffin's big dunk, but Westbrook would not regard head coach Brooks' words as a wind in his ears. The Thunder's tactic in this game was to encircle Lin Yi and consume Lin Yi.
Looking at Durant, who would occasionally glance at Lin Yi, Westbrook felt that he had an obligation to encourage his good buddy.
"Kevin, you're much better than him." Westbrook patted Durant's back.
Although sometimes I don’t like Westbrook’s personality, Durant has to admit that this guy’s words are pretty good as a teammate.
"Thank you." A smile appeared on Durant's face.
He himself didn't think he was worse than Lin Yi.
But popularity...why is it so far away?
It is said that after the results of the second round of NBA voting came out, the total number of votes this guy has exceeded 3 million...
Durant has asked Harden more than once what kind of player Lin Yi is.
Every time Durant asked this question, Harden would look up at the sky, "It seems that he can always attract people's attention and steal all the attention."
Today...is no exception!
Lin Yi made a flowing gliding dunk while warming up, which attracted the screams of many Thunder fans in the Ford Center. Now Lin Yi is a bit like the future Ku Hao, and he will have his own fans everywhere he goes.
Of course, Thunder fans will definitely be on the side of Durant, just saying that if you put aside your position, you are really looking forward to his performance at this year's Dallas All-Star Game...
The TV broadcasting screen has given the two teams' start tonight.
Knicks' side: Lin Yi, David Lee, Harrington, Chandler, Louis Williams.
Thunder: Costic, Jeff Green, Durant, Seifrosa, Westbrook.
"It's so luxurious!" Looking at Ibaka sitting on the Thunder bench, Harden, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"The Knicks adjusted their start today?" Kenny Smith said.
"It seems that the Knicks are prepared. D'Antoni always likes to use surprises this season," said Barkley.
It's indeed a surprise weapon.
Thunder coach Brooks also looked sideways. He didn't expect the Knicks to start with Louis Williams tonight.
Brooks has studied the Knicks' video and knew that Lou Wei is a player with strong offense and weak defense. Let Lou Wei limit Westbrook in the starting lineup?
Doesn’t this mean giving up Lu Wei to death?
As for Harrington, using a veteran to limit Durant, Brooks thinks it's good, "This isn't a surprise soldier, right? Is there something wrong with D'Antony's mind?"
Brooks looked at his assistants and said, although the outside world said that this Thunder was Durant's team, Brooks knew that Westbrook should not be underestimated. As long as Westbrook could speed up, the Thunder would be a combination of two swords on the court.
"Russell, you're underestimated!" The Thunder substitutes joked with Westbrook.
Westbrook has a good relationship with other Thunder players in the team, and everyone often jokes with each other.
It is no secret that Lou Wei's defense is not a secret. The Knicks arranged Lou Wei to defend Westbrook tonight, and then focused on the defense against Durant. No matter how you look at Westbrook, the Knicks underestimated it.
"Wait." Westbrook sneered, and he made up his mind to let the Knicks see how powerful he was.
The five starting players of the two teams have arrived on the court and are ready to start the game.
...
The Knicks, who "come well prepared", easily won the game in the jumping game. Kostic could not compete with Lin Yi. The Thunder fans at home kept standing and watching the game as always. Although Russia City is not a big city, Russia City fans are really intimidating.
The Knicks' first attack in the opening game, and the Thunder defended Lin Yi was Jeff Green.
Green went to see the battle between Shenfa and Wildcats last year with Durant and Westbrook. To be honest, Green is more optimistic about Griffin, but unexpectedly, after just one year, Lin Yi has become a player who can be compared with Durant.
Green defended very seriously. Before leaving the Thunder, he was the third fire point of the Thunder.
In this talented Thunder, Jeff Green is inconspicuous. After all, the nickname of the talented team is not given by fans.
On the Knicks' side, Lu Wei passed the ball to Lin Yi after dribbling through half the game.
At the same time, Lu Wei also noticed that Westbrook looked at him in a bad way.
"Has I offended him?" Lu Wei was a little confused. Westbrook was famous for his defense in college. He had excellent physical fitness and excellent athletic ability. Although Lu Wei was mentioned as the starter today, he would not beat him randomly.
Durant, who was defending Harrington, paid attention to Lin Yi and Jeff Green's one-on-one from the corner of his eyes. Lin Yi signaled David Lee not to use pick-and-roll, and the Knicks' center slipped to the high position to play head-on singles, which was no longer news.
Dong, Dong, Dong!
Lin Yi made a stroll, and Jeff Green took a step back. After getting the dribble space, Lin Yi dribble seemed to sing in a song: Let's swing together~!
Thanks to this, Jeff Green is a small forward wearing a power forward cloak. His feet are moving at a good speed and his footsteps are back quickly. Otherwise, just now, Jeff Green admitted that Lin Yi is likely to shake him down.
There are still videos of the four people who were knocked down by Lin Yi on the oil pipe.
The fans affectionately call them "Four Heavenly Kings"!
