Chapter 0180 - Maddie Defense? Youth is back (third update!) )
『Chapter error, click here to report』
The New York Knicks' away game against the Houston Rockets is also a focus of attention for many Chinese fans.
Although Da Yao is reimbursed for the season, after all, the Rockets are the "home team" in the minds of many Chinese fans.
Of course, the appearance of Lin Yi obviously changed the position of many Chinese fans, after the reimbursement of the Da Yao season and the return of Maddy from injury to the peak, tens of millions of "fire honey" have switched to the Knicks camp.
Lin Yi also has a high popularity in Houston, and in March Madness last year, many local Chinese fans and Rockets fans in Houston went to watch the game.
The impression left by the "Wave Brothers" is so deep that the stormy wave is still talked about by people today.
Especially the game they beat North Carolina, although it was played in Indianapolis, but the whole United States basically looked at it as a final.
Tsk, memories are always so good.
……
Because of Lin Yi's appearance, the Knicks did not use Larry Hughes to replace Maddie, so Maddie is still in the Rockets, but after Maddie returned from injury again, in this Rocket, Maddie can only play the sixth man.
Former West Codonai, North Carolina South Mai......
Before you know it, only the indomitable fighter is still going strong, year after year, day after day, yes, it's you, Vince Carter!
When Lin Yi was a fan in the past, he always felt that these stars were far away from retirement......
But now, Lin Yi, who knows how history will develop, is really a little emotional, the four blacksmiths, ahhh
The moment when the four quarterbacks stepped down from the altar was approaching.
……
To get back to the point, without Da Yao's rocket, in Lin Yi's mind, it is also better than many eastern teams, and even Lin Yi will not doubt that if this rocket is left in the east, they will definitely be able to enter the playoffs.
Of course, it won't go far.
After this season's Rockets lacked Da Yao, Adelman reacted, and it turned out that the Rockets without Da Yao really couldn't break through in the West.
Last season, after the absence of Da Yao, the Rockets still played seven games with the Lakers, which led Adelman to mistake his Princeton tactics for being powerful.
But in fact, the Chinese giant is the truly indispensable soul of this rocket.
No matter how ecstatic Scola's diamond dance moves were, no matter how much Brooks jerked off, they couldn't do it to attract the bag.
People in the world think that Da Yao was selected as an All-Star starter because of Chinese fans, but in the last few years of his career, Da Yao really relied on his own ability.
Maddy, who was once one of the "Yao Mai" combinations, played about 25 minutes per game for the Rockets this season, averaging 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
In fact, the Rockets lineup in this period is not weak, Xiaobu's substitute is Kyle Lowry, one of the future North Twin Guns, Scola, Landry, Tieza, Battier, Hayes and others are all powerful players, so even without Yao Ming, Lin Yi's memory of this season's Rockets has a win rate of more than 50%.
However, in Lin Yi's opinion, Team Rocket is actually stupid to do this...... Because without Da Yao, the Rockets would simply not have been able to make the playoffs in the West.
You must know that the Western Conference playoff tickets in the 09/10 season are 50 wins, and the Rockets might as well play like this, and there are many swing guards who can choose from the 10-year lotto, even if you can't be sure if Da Yao can return to the top again, don't you choose a Paul George to succeed Maddie?
However, Adelman is also a head coach who cherishes feathers, and if the Rockets want to mess up, they must let Adelman go first.
Of course, the Rockets have general manager Morey here, and no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.
Morey is a man with mixed reputations, most of the players he chooses can play, but he misses a lot of macho men, 10 years Morey selected Patterson thinking he found a treasure, but he also missed Bradley, Booker, Bledsoe.
But after all, this is an above-average general manager, and trading Kevin Martin for Harden in the future is a stroke of genius.
Morey is very superstitious about data, and data can sometimes deceive people, but in the end, it can't be all parallel goods under the data, so even if Morey doesn't know how to play so well, it's much better than any small ship-breaking uniform group.
……
At the Toyota Center, the Knicks and Rockets game is about to begin.
Without Da Yao, the Rockets began to speed up in full swing this season, and Scola is the center of this Rocket team, but Scola doesn't want to defend Lin Yi in this game.
Lin Yi just played a "quadruple-double", famous, the Rockets players went to the scene to watch Lin Yi play in March last year, and Scola admitted to Adelman before the game that he couldn't prevent Lin Yi.
After all, no one wants to be the fifth person on the YouTube pipe who was shaken down by Lin Yi.
Scola relies on footwork on offense, but he doesn't move sideways enough on the defensive end, and more often relies on fake falls.
No matter how stubborn Adelman is, it's not Larry Brown, and it's Hayes who will defend the Rockets tonight.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Yi and Hayes are both wearing No. 44.
Rockets starters: Scola, Hayes, Battier, Ariza, Brooks.
Knicks starters: Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Chandler, Douglas.
At the beginning of the game, Scola simply gave up the jump ball, and after Lin Yi ran to the frontcourt, he also noticed that the rocket player who appeared in front of him was Hayes.
Hayes's height is 198 cm, which is enough to play a small forward in the league, but relying on a super stable lower handicap, Hayes plays a big forward, and even sometimes Scola does not move, and Hayes will also go to the center as a cameo.
This is a typical functional player, who can gain a foothold in the NBA by defending, and in Lin Yi's eyes, Hayes is a real "janissary with a knife", and his attendance is stable, and he never ......
In the opening and "Haiye" counterpoint, Lin Yi did not blindly go to the singles, he observed Hayes's footsteps and movements, although when Lin Yi took the ball, Zhang Lizhi, who was in charge of commenting the game, had already begun to shout: "Lin Yi, slip him!" But Lin Yi was calm enough.
It's no coincidence that this Rockets team can still play more than 50% of the win rate despite Da Yao's reimbursement, Adelman believes that it is the credit of Princeton's offensive system, but in fact, the real strength of this Rockets is the defense left by Van Gundy.
Battier and Ariza are both first-line 3-and-Ds, Hayes is also a defensive expert, Lowry on the bench does not suffer against the starting guards of many teams, and with firepower support like Landry, it is not an illusion that this Rockets are strong.
So in the first quarter, Lin Yi paddled for six minutes and then decisively went down to rest, Adelman was very satisfied with Hayes's defense, and felt that Lin Yi didn't score a point, but in fact, David Lee, who was against Scola, was completely open.
Scola and David Lee are on top of each other, it is really floor flow to floor flow, but David Lee played better tonight, Scola was difficult to make David Lee's offensive foul, and the "left-handed brother" was completely hilarious.
Lin Yi feels that if David Lee continues to play like this, he will definitely be selected as an All-Star as he remembers, but in this way, it will be difficult for the Knicks to keep people in the summer.
Lin Yi actually likes to partner with David Lee, but he prefers that the management will equip him with a macho man like Tyson Chandler, so that Lin Yi can concentrate on attacking.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams played a good game, and the Knicks led the Rockets by two points at 27-25.
In the second quarter of the game, Lin Yi took Harrington, Gallinari, Belinelli, and Lu Wei to play.
The Rockets also adjusted the lineup, with David Anderson, Landry, Bardinger, Maddy, and Lowry playing.
When Maddie played, it still caused a burst of cheers from the fans, and the Rockets fans still had a trace of illusion about Maddy, after all, 35.13 seconds was too impressive, and people didn't believe that Maddie would go downhill in his playing year.
Maddie squinted her sleepy eyes and smiled at Lin Yi, who suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, after the Rockets failed to attack in the second quarter, Lin Yi found that it was Maddie who was opposite him......
Lin Yi: (*⊙~⊙)!
"My youth is back!" Countless "fire honeys" in front of the TV feel that the big battle between the rocket and the Mavericks seems to be just yesterday.
Medi is easy to prevent forests!
Come on!
"Yo, Adelman is bold enough, he actually used Maddie to defend against Lin Yi." Zhang Lili was also happy.
"Maddie used to defend Nowitzki, so maybe Coach Adelman thinks Maddie has experience with this kind of big man?" Yu Jia explained.
