The Knicks have played against the Los Angeles duo, but this Lakers team is not comparable to the current Clippers.

Lin Yi remembers very well that this Lakers still has the strength to compete for the championship, but the reason why they can't go far is related to Kobe's injury decline.

In Lin Yi's previous life, in the series between the Mavericks and the Lakers this season, 99.9% of Kobe's scoring came from jump shots and free throws, and the sudden Kobe Bryant couldn't lead the Lakers.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson is very wary of the Knicks, which can be seen from his arrangement of Little Shark Bynum to play as a substitute, if it weren't for the "Zen Master" who took the lead in using the No. 3 main defense plus Jordan rule to deal with Lin Yi last season, Lin Yi's data would be much easier.

Lakers fans still have feelings for O'Neal, and when the sharks appeared on the show, O'Neal received a lot of applause, and the camera brother really likes to make trouble, and actually gave the close-up to Kobe Bryant for the first time.

OK reunion, but this time it's not as gunpowder as before, although O'Neal scored 38 points in the game against the Rockets, but for most of the season, O'Neal was only a substitute.

During the warm-up, Kobe took the initiative to greet O'Neal, which made Staples' Lakers fans feel emotional.

……

As O'Neal expected, the Knicks lost to the Lakers after a fierce battle, the Lakers are still very strong, Phil Jackson values the Knicks, the Lakers came up with a biting defense in the finals last season, the Knicks maintained the lead in the first three quarters, but they fought back-to-back in the fourth quarter even if they were not able to use the rotation.

107-113, the Knicks lost away, and it is worth mentioning that the 113 points conceded is still the highest point conceded by the Knicks in the new season.

The stars of both teams did not play well, Bryant shot 11 of 31, 1 of 8 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws, and got 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Lin Yi shot 14-of-33, 1-of-6 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws to finish with 35 points, 15 rebounds and four assists.

Except for Kobe, all the other players on the Lakers are shooting above 50% from the field......

But this is really not Lin Yi and Kobe Bryant's deliberate iron, because the defense of both teams is very strict, and if the star of the house does not come out to take responsibility, what is the star of the house?

It is worth mentioning that Lin Yi successfully unlocked the gold-level badge of "Big Dream Footsteps" in this game, so that the five badges corresponding to his five positions have not been upgraded to the gold level, and only the crazy rebounder and unlimited range are left.

In addition, Lin Yi is still 42 ultra-long three-pointers to unlock the infinite range (gold level), and the crazy rebounder will definitely be able to complete it before the infinite range is unlocked according to his progress in brushing rebounds this season.

If you don't upgrade, you can't do it, although it doesn't matter what is in the 180 club...... But as an obsessive-compulsive patient, Lin Yi still can't help but think about it when he looks at his own data.

After the Knicks lost to the Lakers, they will fly to San Antonio next.

……

On the 23rd, the Knicks lost to the Spurs 90-95 away, and Popovich sighed after the game: "The Knicks are definitely a strong contender for the championship this season." ”

It's not for nothing that Popovich exclaimed after the win, the Spurs were extremely difficult to win this ball, and the Knicks' iron-blooded defense couldn't even find a way to crack it.

Every score is like a mountain of hobs.

When asked what he thinks of Lin Yi's single-core team, Popovich believes that Lin Yi is more mature than last year, "He has grown faster than all of us expected, and he is the superstar of this Knicks team." ”

Popovich is such a person, he likes to summarize when he loses, and he prefers to summarize when he wins.

And the Knicks, who suffered two consecutive defeats, did not take the losing streak to heart, Lin Yi said in an interview: "We still need to run in a lot. ”

Lin Yi also quietly hid the bottle of Gatorade in front of him under the bench during the interview, and Klay Thompson did the same in the future, after all, the BodyArmour drink invested by Nag was about to be launched, and Lin Yi didn't want Gatorade to rub the advertisement.

Gatorade: Say you!

……

It's impossible not to take the losing streak to heart, losing to the Lakers and Spurs, the main reason for the Knicks is the lack of a second offensive point, Lin Yike doesn't want to really become a tumor, so he suggested to Lao De that he can appropriately let Gallinari and Louis Williams share some of their own balls.

D'Antoni readily agreed, Lin Yi is now averaging 36.5 points per game, and he is not afraid of scoring a little lower, because if he continues to play like this, the passing and cutting system that the Knicks have worked hard in the summer will be wasted.

At the beginning of the new season, this wave of crazy shots was to build momentum, and now that the momentum has come out, the next step is to consider the results.

Without the support of the record, no matter how good the data is, it is still a floating cloud.

On the 24th, the Knicks flew back to New York, and Eli Manning came to Lin Yi to play as soon as possible.

"Hey, Lin, I really like your long-range three-pointers, especially the exaggerated expression of your opponent whenever you hit a long-range three-pointer, you don't know how cool that feeling is." Eli Manning suggested to Lin Yi, why didn't Lin Yi consider participating in the three-point contest?

You must know that the NBA has not yet exceeded 220 cm of three-point kings.

Lin Yi felt that Eli Manning's proposal was quite good, his physical fitness this season was much better than last season, and it happened that the last two consecutive defeats made it necessary for Lin Yi to snatch back the lost headlines.

So after having lunch with Eli Manning, Lin Yi went out to find the media.

Coincidentally, ESPN reporter Speed, who was the first to break the news that Lin Yi would participate in the slam dunk contest last year, grabbed the headline again.

"Is 'My Lin' really going to participate in the three-point contest? Will he say like Bird says which of you takes the second? ”

"'I Lin' is mighty! I love to see him wear out his knee pads when he shoots too long a three-pointer! ”

"'My Lin' is really a decathlon! Why don't you give it a chance to try the Skills Challenge? ”

Lin Mi has begun to distort the slam picture of Lin Yi getting skills, three points and dunks.

Lin Yi remembered that the champion of the skills challenge competition, Porzingis would also win it in the future, should he take advantage of the fact that Boshen was still in junior high school to win the championship of the tallest skills challenge competition?

You know, blocking the way of the younger generations is a very important part of becoming the first person in the NBA in the future.

The reason why Lin Yi chose to participate in the three-point shooting contest at this time node is very simple, in the future, when the Splash Brothers enter the league, Lin Yi's confidence will not be so sufficient.

And if Lin Yi remembers correctly, this season's three-point contest championship should be won by James Jones, if there is no confrontation, Lin Yi is full of confidence in his three-point shot.

So at the same time that Lin Yi began to practice his three-point shot, the Thunder also arrived in New York.

The Knicks' next game is at home against the Thunder.
