Chapter 0468 - The Most Incomprehensible Center! (1st Update)
Once again, the magical Nicks have shown people what they are capable of "turning trash into treasure".
With Billups out for the season and Livingston missing two months, Knicks coach D'Antoni activated Maddy, and on the 20th, in the Knicks' home back-to-back games with the Hawks, Maddy played as Paul's substitute.
For Maddie, the former NBA scoring champion, the experience of the last two seasons has already smoothed his heart, after all, the reality is so cruel, if you don't compromise with reality, you can only be pressed to the ground by reality.
Maddie's physical fitness is far worse than he was at his peak, so D'Antoni's requirements for Maddie are not complicated.
In the offense, Lao De asked Maddie to play like Livingston, using his height to play the small guard on the opposite side with his back and make a response point.
And in defense, Maddie can let go of the burst without shooting, after all, it is impossible to expect Maddie to defend like he did when he was younger.
So in this game with the Hawks, Maddy successfully completed the requirements of Lao De, and in his new season debut, Maddie played 13 minutes, got 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists, and performed remarkably.
"Obviously, injuries can't beat this Knicks!" After the Knicks beat the Hawks, Barkley said after the game.
Kenny Smith also sighed that although Maddy's statistics in this game were average, his state was better than the previous two seasons in Smith's eyes at both offensive and defensive ends.
"While many teams are thinking about how to bring in reinforcements through trades and signings, the Knicks are always able to find another way to dig for potential internally. Shaq, you've been a part of this Knicks team, can you share with us the secret that the Knicks always make players find confidence? Kenny Smith said after glancing at O'Neill.
Before O'Neal was ready to speak, Barkley deliberately puffed out his biceps, so O'Neal coughed twice and reorganized his thoughts.
"The Knicks are probably the best team I've ever been to, D'Antoni is a good head coach and Lin always gives some advice on basketball in practice and games. When you're always playing with a comfortable feeling on the court, you can't play badly. O'Neill said.
Barkley put down his elbow with satisfaction, "The stats don't lie, I think now those who say LeBron is more worthy of MVP than Lin can shut up, because what MVP has to do is not just to score high points himself, Lin is making his teammates better every season, so I still have that opinion, Lin is still the best candidate for MVP this season in my mind." ”
“......”
O'Neill secretly decided that in the future, he must publish an autobiography about his commentary career and expose all kinds of shady scenes of Lin Chui TV.
Maddie played well in his debut, and Lin Yi also gained something here, in this game with the Eagles, Lin Yi's "Big Dream Footsteps" badge was successfully upgraded from gold to amethyst.
At this point, Lin Yi is only short of "Crazy Rebounder" and "Unlimited Range" still at the gold level.
The moment the amethyst-level "Big Dream Footsteps" was unlocked, Lin Yi gained a lot of black technology for attacking under the basket, and Lin Yi was even wondering if the ankle terminator continued to upgrade in the future, would he be able to maintain his existing flexibility and flexibility while continuing to gain weight?
"The situation right now is that there are a lot of interior players in the league who are losing weight......"
"So, if my idea is feasible, then it means that I can go to the basket to abuse people unscrupulously in the future!"
Lin Yi feels that this is the correct operation for his future! Originally, there were fewer traditional interior lines in the NBA in the future, and when they all lost weight, wouldn't the basket let themselves dominate?
Lin Actually, I'm really the center Yi!
……
On the 21st, the Knicks had a day off and rested, and the injuries of Billups and Livingston made the Knicks' team doctors nervous recently, but the Knicks' team doctors were really wondering...... Could it be that Lin Yi is really an iron man?
You know, the Knicks' team doctor has advised Lin Yi more than once not to do high-intensity training in the middle of the season, but Lin Yi will always use "How can I improve if I don't work hard?" "Have you ever seen three o'clock in the morning in New York?" Wait for the words to make the team doctors speechless.
The team doctors of the Knicks looked up at the sky one after another, so in private, the team doctors called Lin Yi - "Iron Man".
Getting back to the point, before the Orlando All-Star Weekend, the Knicks will play the Cosmos Bulls at home and the Heat on the road, and it's obvious that Stern is so crazy for the sake of ratings!
You must know that Lin Yi had planned it, and he would paddle when he went up for the All-Star Game, and in order to rest, he didn't sign up for all the individual competitions this year.
If the Knicks' schedule before the All-Star Weekend could have been easier, Lin Yi would have been able to have about ten consecutive days of rest.
Lin Yi's thinking is very similar to that of many Chinese office workers, annual leave or something, of course, you have to wait until around the National Day to ask for it, after all, you can rest for half a month!
Correct...... Combine...... Ovum!
Because when the hard-working people naively handed in the leave slip, they forgot that the boss could not approve it......
"Hey, with the support of a monthly ticket, this author called Shui Short Pretty doesn't seem to rest." Lin Yi thought to himself silently.
However, this long-awaited battle of the century has dropped a lot of attention because the Mavericks announced before the game that Nowitzki and Xiaosi were out due to injury.
The Mavericks also played the rotation in the new season, as long as they were back-to-back, Nowitzki would not play, while Xiao Si would be rotated according to the situation.
You really don't want to say it, Xiao Si, who didn't suffer that big injury, is really good in this life, because the Mavericks' tactics also have a lot of blocking and dismantling tactics, even if Owen can't organize again, with Kidd's teaching, Uncle Drew can still do it.
Xiao Si's offensive ability is not bad, in his previous life, before he was injured, he averaged nearly 30 points per game under the leadership of the Knicks Xiao Si alone, and the Knicks were also in the playoff sequence under his leadership, but later Anthony joined and took the ball, and Xiao Si's data slowly slipped to an average of about 25 points per game.
Many people think that Xiao Si will not play without Nash, but not exactly, because in the few seasons after Xiao Si practiced mid-range shooting, he did not fall behind in the West against Duncan and Garnett, and he could also rely on his own personal strength to score the ball in the offense.
The Mavericks' protection of Nowitzki and Xiaosi is to recuperate and do a good job on the Knicks in the playoffs, Lin Yi feels that he is completely targeted, and now these people in the NBA are thinking about how to rub themselves all day long, which is really hateful.
Lin Yi secretly swore that in the future, when he grew up to a complete body, he would abuse him back, and then said to these people: "The future is yours!" ”
