With the NBA's journey in December kicking off, Lin Yi really wants to run to Stern's house to smash eggs, and the Knicks are going to eat back-to-back!

In December, the Knicks had three more back-to-backs.

Lin Yi endured the resentment in his heart, after all, Lin Yi was no longer a child like Justin Bieber, and it was better to think about this kind of thing as smashing eggs.

On December 2, after a day of rest, the New York Knicks, who continue to sit at their home court at Madison Square Garden, ushered in a key battle, why is it a key battle? Is it because their opponents are strong?

It is indeed very strong, and their opponent tonight is the Phoenix Suns, who are currently ranked fifth in the West, and the old club of Comrade Lao De.

So this ball also has an extraordinary meaning for D'Antoni.

After "Hacker" Marion left the Suns, the former Phoenix fast-break three-headed monster was only Steve Nash and "Little Overlord" Stoudemire.

In the new season, the Suns relied on more blossoms and bench bandits to win, and the attack group composed of dunk king Jason Richardson, Grant Hill, who was rescued by the Suns' doctors, Channing Frye, who suddenly developed three-point shooting skills, and Barbossa, a Brazilian lightning bolt, is simply terrifying.

I have to say that Phoenix is indeed a place where people can be reborn.

For example, Frye, who was ridiculed by fans as a "soft egg", only hit 20 three-pointers in his entire career before playing for the Suns!

However, Frye has averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, and the new season has not been long in coming, and Frye's three-minute shooting total this season far exceeds the total number of his career in the previous four seasons combined.

And Grant Hill, who has been reborn in Phoenix, from Glass Man to Iron Man, it turns out that all Hill needs is the Suns' team doctor.

D'Antoni has mixed feelings for the Suns, he has won the best coach here and played the best record in the league, but the Suns just can't win the championship.

People criticized D'Antoni and said that D'Antoni would only play and shoot, not defend.

Poor Lao De left Phoenix in the midst of criticism, but it didn't take long for the Suns to pick up their run-and-gun tactics again......

In the eyes of many Suns fans, this is not a blind toss!

Lao De is really a backstabber, Lin Yi knows very well, in fact, as long as Nash is there, this Sun team is destined to only run and run, because when you run, Lao Ke can rely on a coquettish pass and offense to lead the team, once you slow down to play the position, Lao Ke's defense is simply a scoring problem.

In the future, many people have compared the defense of Stephen Curry and Nash, and it turns out that if the veteran can have half the defensive level of the 17/18 season, the Suns will win the championship if they can't say it.

The offense is gorgeous, the defense is terrible, Nash is such an extreme MVP, he has played 180 club stats four times in his career, and the efficiency on the offensive end is even more terrifying, if you watch the Suns play during this period, you really will have an illusion, how can basketball be played so beautifully?

However, those who have watched the Suns' playoffs during this period will suddenly realize why Nash's defense is so bad......

Of course, the reason why this game is a key battle is not because the Suns are strong.

It's because Lin Yi's two badges are about to be upgraded.

The Crazy Rebounder badge (Bronze) for the power forward position is only four rebounds away from being upgraded to the Silver level.

The Big Dream Footstep Badge (Bronze) corresponding to the center position is only one of the last 2 required moves to upgrade to the Silver level.

The promotion of all professions Lin Yi can only survive game by game, but the badge is different, this thing, upgrading quickly is the king!

……

Nash really didn't disappoint Lin Yi.

The star that Lin Yi once chased is still so sharp even if he is 35 years old this year, and of course, the defense is even more sparse......

The Suns' coach Gentry is still young, D'Antoni is an expert in running and bombing, the Knicks have been blocking and dismantling this game, and the Suns are also playing Nash and Xiaosi's blocking and dismantling.

The Knicks, playing at home, led the Suns by three points, 37-34 at the end of the first quarter.

CCTV's commentator Su Junyang joked that these two teams are completely defenseless, but such a game is really good-looking.

It is worth mentioning that not long after the second section came up, Lin Yi's two badges were all upgraded.

At this point, among the five badges owned by Lin Yi, only the infinite range of the egg pain is still at the bronze level, and only by increasing the infinite range to the silver level can Lin Yi start the next stage of badge upgrade.

While digesting some of the consciousness and skills that had suddenly melted into his mind, Lin Yi also glanced at the progress of the mission with an infinite range.

He was still short of nine ultra-long three-pointers.

Lin Yi felt that he had thrown enough, but unfortunately not everyone was a primary school student, and it was still difficult to score three points in the distance.

……

In the second quarter, the Suns' proud bench lineup was completely pressed to the ground by the Knicks, to put it bluntly, the Suns, a team with strong offense and weak defense, happened to meet the Knicks who restrained them in style.

This really has nothing to do with the paper strength of the two teams, pure style suppression.

What does the Suns' bench come to defend against Lin Yi?

Channing Fry?

Robin Lopez?

Or Grant Hill?

People think that D'Antoni doesn't know how to defend, but you must know that it was D'Antoni's transformation of Marion that made Marion the omnipotent "hacker".

Compared with Lao De, Gentry's run-and-bomb tactics are too simple, and when he takes the Pelicans in the future, he also has the problem of poor defense.

Gentry's lineup is not reasonable enough, and during this period, relying on some of the heritage left by Lao De, the Suns are still a strong team in the West, but they are no longer a championship team.

In the second quarter of the game, after the point difference widened, Lin Yi was also looking for an opportunity to shoot a super long three-pointer.

In addition, Lin Yi also took the opportunity to show a wave of dream dance steps, at the end of the second quarter, Lin Yi, who won the ball in the penalty area, did not move, and deceived the little bully Stoudemire who defended him.

One explanation for this badge is: "When using a feint under the basket, there is a higher chance of shaking off the defender's center of gravity than the bronze level." ”

Silver-level big dream footsteps, any feint under the basket may trigger the effect of this badge, in addition, Lin Yi can clearly feel that when attacking under the basket, his routines are more.

Another badge, the promotion of the silver-level crazy rebounder is the most direct, after the upgrade of this badge, Lin Yi's understanding of the top person in the card position has obviously improved a notch, and this badge also has a certain chance of triggering the prediction of rebounding in advance.

At the end of the third quarter, as soon as Gallinari's three-point shot was made, the handsome Italian guy felt bad, but Lin Yi seemed to be able to predict the flight trajectory of the basketball frame after the frame, he quickly rushed to the basket, jumped high, and completed a rebound with a light click.

In the fourth quarter, the difference between the Knicks and the Suns completely widened, and the only regret was that Lin Yi only scored one of the three ultra-long three-point shooting opportunities he found in this game.

"It seems that the next game is going to steal a wave of Ku Hao's playing style in the future......" Lin Yi thought to himself.

In the end, the Knicks easily defeated the Suns 129-112 at home, and before they knew it, the Knicks completed another wave of five consecutive wins......
