0316 Chapter Perfect integration, funny team! Month
Billups met with the Knicks in Orlando.
"Welcome to New York!" When the team's head coach D'Antoni patted his shoulder, Billups was still a little nervous. Even though he was recognized as a big heart on the basketball court, unlike the fight with the Knicks, his opponent has become his teammate...
"Poor Marco, wish him all the best in Denver." Gallinari was the first to greet Billups, and the handsome Italian guy was indeed very friendly when he smiled.
"Hello, Danilo." Billups shook hands with Gallinari.
"Hey! Shaq, stop bullying Lin, Changxi is here!" Gallinari shouted at the training ground.
On the training ground, O'Neal raised his lips, "The last shot of 'shark splash'!"
Lin Yi on the floor: "I'm going to die!"
Billups saw this scene: "..."
This...is it really that Iron Blood Knicks?
Billups has watched the video of the Knicks game, and he thought D'Antoni used Larry Brown's military management method to train defense.
"Hey, Chauncey, are you here to hold the 'shark' thighs too?" O'Neal gave Billups a bear hug, and Garlinari, who was beside him, added: "Come on, Shark, Lin said last time that sharks have no legs!"
O'Neal glared at Gallinari, "Second Battalion Commander" spread his hands and walked away decisively.
The shark patted Billups on the back, "Don't mind, there are many naughty kids in this team."
Billups nodded as if he wanted to tell.
At this time, Lin Yi, who was holding his waist, also came over, "Welcome to New York, Changxi."
O'Neal gave Lin Yi a blank look: "We are in Orlando now!"
Hell, the kidneys hurt so much. Lin Yi vowed that if he returned to China during the suspension period, he would go to Shaolin Temple and had to learn the seventy-two unique skills. However, it seems that the monkey steals peaches will not have any effect on the shark?
Billups greeted Lin Yi. He didn't dare to neglect this person. Billups is not Ricky Davis. Speaking of which, he was a little worried that Lin Yi's more ball-taking style would not match him.
"Hey, Louis, don't mention the woman last night, okay?" The Knicks' team members walked over one after another, and Lu Wei and Stephenson walked and chatted about the "interesting things" of last night.
"Damn, Lance, if you hadn't revealed that I had a girlfriend, I would have been the one who succeeded, not you!" Lu Wei said.
"Hey, this is called a single benefit. I know why the boss has been single all the time? Danilo is right, being single is the happiest thing in the world." Stephenson said.
Lin Yi looked at the two guys who were walking towards him and first invited Stephenson to take a brutal iron elbow.
O'Neal said to Bilups with a calm look on his face: "I just said that there are more naughty kids in this team."
Billups: "..."
This team is really the number one in the Eastern Conference at the moment?
You know, when Billups was at the Pistons, everyone usually worked hard. While Larry Brown was not around, everyone would joke with each other, but they all stopped.
In the Nuggets, George Carl also asked the players to talk less during training, so Billups got used to the atmosphere of honest practice.
But the Knicks... are you training now, right?
Where is D'Antoni?
Why is he more like the old KFC grandfather than Phil Jackson? Is he a mascot? Does he care?
Because the plane was late, Billups only caught up with the second half of the training class.
In fact, D'Antoni did not care, but because the game was going to be played tomorrow, so during training, Lao De did not ask the players to practice to the death. He mainly used some relaxing small games, mainly to make these players find the feeling of the game.
"Is there any physical problem? We will arrange for you to start tomorrow." D'Antoni asked looking at Billups.
Billups nodded.
So in the second half of the training class, D'Antoni arranged a five-on-five full-game offensive and defensive drill. He intentionally divided Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Garlinari, Tony Allen, and Billups into a team, and then lined up Whiteside, Bathir, Danny Green, Luway, and Livingston into a team.
O'Neal and Wilson Chandler were on the wall, and worked as referees and statisticians with the coaches.
...
How much time did Lin Yi take to conquer Billups?
To be precise, in the two offensive and defensive rounds, the Knicks' training is also mainly focused on converting offense, so the specific time is 09 seconds.
He willingly picked and rolled me?
Isn't he the absolute core of this team?
Isn't he averaging 26 shots per game?
This pick-and-roll...
This is the only way!
Good opportunity!
It's incredible. Billups feels that Lin Yi's football quotient is too high, and the opponent... is really just a substitute lineup?
Livingston's several back shots, even Billups had no choice. One shot was even fouled.
Although he is unwilling to admit it, Billups really wants to say: the Knicks' substitute defense is better than the Nuggets' starting lineup.
This is a completely different experience, and Lin Yi also plays very comfortably, with less direct assists from Lupps, which does not mean that he will not be able to organize the offense.
At the beginning, Billups treated Lin Yi as Anthony to cooperate. He was able to help Lin Yi divide the space, one hit, one hit, one hit, and it was difficult for opponents to assist in defense or double-team.
But later Billups found that he and Lin Yi were more efficient in playing pick-and-roll, and Lin Yi could always pass the ball to the open for no reason.
"Carl is right." Billups sighed. Lin Yi was too crucial to this Knicks. His contribution was not just to score. He was indeed the well-deserved leader of this team.
"How is it?" After the training session, D'Antoni asked his assistants.
"Perfectly integrated, Changxi's overall view can give full play to Lin's role in offensive end. His experience in defense is very experienced. Mike, to be serious, we are very strong." Assistant coach Donaldson said confidently.
D'Antoni didn't deny, "Yes, we're strong."
"However, you may not believe it, Chauncey's data is not as good as Sean." D'Antoni gave the data recorded by another coach to everyone for circulating.
During the 20-minute full-game offensive and defensive drill, Billups made 2 of 4 three-pointers, without any other moves, and scored 6 points and 3 assists.
Livingston made 4 of 6 shots, scored 4 points, rebounds and 2 assists.
This is a major feature of Billups playing. He doesn't take the lead, and even if he makes a blacksmith, he will be fine. He chooses efficient scoring methods and cannot destroy the Knicks' offensive system.
But his defense and offense are exactly what this Knicks lacks at the moment.
This can be seen from the score difference between the main team 47 to 30 substitutes.
Billups was really convinced. He felt that Lin Yi was the most terrifying teammate he had ever worked with. If he only compared to scoring, perhaps Anthony might be better than Lin Yi, but Lin Yi's playing style is too smart.
What Bilups admired even more was Livingston, because when Bilups came, he would take away Livingston's main position, but Livingston didn't seem to care?
"Shawn, congratulations on your recovery so smoothly," Billups said to Livingston.
Livingston was really reborn from the ashes. He was beaten by the back of his hand, but Bilupps couldn't defend himself anyway.
"Thank you, come on tomorrow's game, Changxi." Livingston said with a smile.
"Wait, Sean, don't you mind the starter?" Billups asked curiously.
Livingston spread his hands: "Hey, Chauncey, I was a pseudo-starter, and I played a bigger role in the bench. If it weren't for the Knicks' coaching staff and Lin, I might still be lying on the hospital bed!"
Billups: "..."
This Knicks is really strong.
If only the defense is compared, Billups doesn't think that the Pistons won the championship that year will definitely beat the Knicks, Tony Allen, Bathirl, Tyson Chandler... Not only has athletic ability, but also has a high ball quotient. They don't rely on brute force or small movements to defend.
It depends entirely on one's own reading comprehension of the competition.
Moreover, this Knicks' offense is much stronger than that Pistons... Billups found that this Knicks' conversion offense was extremely resolute, and anyone would dare to take action as long as they had a chance.
The most important thing is that Lin Yi's image does not match his data. This is not a player who averages more than 20 shots per game, but... after these 20 minutes of offensive and defensive drills, Lin Yi also made 4 shots.
"It's great to be able to play in New York!" thought Billups.
...
ps: The fourth update, congratulations to the men's basketball team for reversing the Asian Games to win the championship!
