After the team's confrontation with Lin Yi's "good deed" of giving up the dunk and protecting Harrington's landing, everyone in the Knicks willingly accepted Lin Yi as the core of the Knicks' organization in the new season.

Including Nate Robinson, who is still recovering from injury, Nate Robinson is a very arrogant person, but there are limits to how arrogant he is. To put it bluntly, Lin Yi has always been the top show, and Lin Yi's overall vision and strength in the team's training games convinced the Knicks' players.

You must know that there are few NBAs with lower emotional intelligence than Ricky Davis.

In the locker room, Lin Yi is not blindly pretending to be a big man, and he can also accept appropriate pranks and jokes between teammates, after all, Lin Yi is determined to be the first person in the NBA, not the first cancer in the NBA.

Dodge Norris and Earbaron feel that they can be signed by the Knicks because of Lin Yi's light, so they both regard Lin Yi as their "big brother", although Lin Yi is much younger than them, but the matter of being the boss has never been based on age.

The players had no opinion, and D'Antoni began to boldly implement his idea.

The starting point guard for the new season is still Chris Duhon, Tony Douglas and Dodge Norris have their own flaws and shortcomings, and Nate Robinson is likely to be used by general manager Donny Wash to deal with a bad contract in the middle of the season.

However, Du Hong is a pseudo point guard, and after the Knicks fall into position, either the ball carrier and Lin Yi play blocking and dismantling, or Lin Yi chooses to break through according to the opponent's interior movement speed, break through the ball or play high post strategy.

And the Knicks will pay close attention to the transition offense in the new season, because Lin Yi and David Lee can play fast offense.

……

As time passed, the media was full of expectations for the new season of the Knicks, especially Chinese fans. The Rockets have announced that Da Yao will be reimbursed for this season, and countless Yao Mi have been homeless.

In the Tianjin Asian Championships, after the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a fiasco in the final, the "snickering door" incident caused Chinese fans' favorability of Sun Yue to plummet.

Many fans began to complain that the Basketball Association did not recruit Lin Yi in the summer, and Yi Jianlian's anxious style of play in the Asian Championships also made Chinese fans lose patience with him.

CCTV plans to broadcast 40 Knicks games in the new season, and the Nets only have 25 games, which shows Lin Yi's status in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Knicks fans couldn't help but ridicule the Nets, look, you are a bad net, look at our Lin Yi, and then look at your Yi Jianlian, who is also a big man from China, why is the gap so big?

Lin Yi himself is very distressed about Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian's ability to resist pressure is average, and the Nets will use him and Brook Lopez as the core in the new season, Lin Yi knows that this is the highest season of the UAE in the NBA.

Although Da Yao was reimbursed for the season, he did not forget his little Chinese brother, and Da Yao asked Lin Yi to take the UAE out to play if he had the opportunity. They are close to each other, it is very convenient to meet each other, the UAE does not like to talk, there are few friends in the team, Da Yao can see that the UAE is now playing with ideological baggage, if he is not enlightened in time, he is likely to end his NBA career early.

Lin Yi changed history, Da Yao is now recovering very seriously, and Da Yao told himself that he was ready to lose weight during the recuperation period, after watching Lin Yi's style of play, Da Yao felt that he only needed 125 to 130 kilograms to blow up the current NBA inside, Da Yao wanted to extend his career, in order to be able to have an NBA Chinese champion derby with Lin Yi after returning from injury.

……

On September 24, a full week before the start of the NBA preseason season, Lin Yi asked Yi Jianlian to go to an Italian restaurant called "Silvestri" in New York for dinner.

Yi Jianlian doesn't have many friends in the Nets team, and Carter, who used to take care of him, didn't talk much in the team after he went to the Magic.

Putting aside ability, Lin Yi now talks and laughs with his teammates every day, and his teammates revolve around him, Yi Jianlian usually doesn't talk to his teammates, how can his teammates pass him on the field?

And Yi Jianlian is too humble, in the eyes of Americans, too humble is stupid. Da Yao has lost his temper in the NBA, and humility and stupidity must not be equated.

Two plates of roast lamb shanks were served, with sauces and side dishes in an Italian style.

Yi Jianlian is older than himself, so Lin Yi still calls him Brother Lian, you must know that Lin Yi almost accidentally called Cheng Lianmei just now, thinking inertia is not something that can be changed if you want to.

"Lin Yi, am I not suitable for the NBA?" Yi Jianlian was not in the mood to eat, and his agent advised him to make more shots in the new season, strive to play good-looking and beautiful statistics, and get him a big contract.

Lin Yi knew that Yi Jianlian was in self-doubt at this point in time, the fans had too high expectations for him, and he himself found some of his weaknesses after entering the NBA for a few years.

Lin Yi sighed, after all, he was also the group of fans who had looked forward to Yi Jianlian, and he suggested to Yi Jianlian: "Brother Lian, I suggest you practice holding the ball more, your speed is still quite fast." Also, reduce your strong offense, your basket finishing rate was lower than many guards last season, you need to improve your basket finishing rate. When grabbing rebounds, you're welcome, if you can take a rebound, it's a rebound, don't give it to your teammates. In addition, you have to practice defense, do your defense well, as long as you can practice defense well, you will definitely be able to get a good contract in the NBA. Also, aren't you able to shoot threes? Practice your most accurate points, you see that your high post shot is not far from the three-point line, instead of throwing that kind of two-point, you should throw three-pointers. ”

Yi Jianlian hesitated, "Are you asking me to reduce my back play, practice hard defense, and shoot more three-pointers?" ”

Isn't this equivalent to doing blue-collar and outside 3-D?

Lin Yi nodded, because his memory told him that Yi Jianlian was not suitable for playing the core, and his physical fitness was indeed difficult to find the same among the yellow race, but in the superman-filled NBA, his physical talent was not tempting.

Yi Jianlian can't practice the footsteps of Dazhi, his basket finishing rates in the NBA seasons are 47.3%, 46.2%, 50.6%, 64.9% and 42.9%, such a basket finishing rate is very miserable for a big man, Yi Jianlian also has strength in the later stage, the reason for such a low basket finishing rate is that there is a problem with his playing style, in the CBA, Yi Jianlian's playing style is BUG, but in the NBA, the intensity is high, Yi Jianlian is easy to hit iron.

Yi Jianlian's career shooting rate is around 40%, which has something to do with his strong play and too many high-post shots, his single footsteps, and opponents are easy to interfere with him.

Yi Jianlian's best season under the basket finishing rate was in the Wizards, because the Wizards treated him as a blue-collar who ate cakes, Wall is an excellent point guard, as long as you can appear in the vacancy, Wall can be directly dunked when he passes, but even if there is a 64.9% finishing rate under the basket, Yi Jianlian's shooting rate that season is a miserable 41.8%, which is the highest in his career, and the reason for the low shooting rate is because there are too many high-level bloody jumpers.

The most suitable way for Yi Jianlian to play is to practice defense, obediently be a cake eater and 3D, let him practice dribbling The purpose is to make his movements not too stiff, and he doesn't know what to do when he gets the ball, even if you take the ball and do a crotch dribble on the spot, it is more comfortable than looking left and right to the fans and coaches.

The reason why Yi Jianlian was finally given up by the Wizards is also very simple, the defense is too bad, Yi Jianlian's economic team is simply toxic, and he has always expected him to play awesome data like Yao Ming, but Da Yao's low-post killer, the NBA itself has few of them, to put it bluntly, there is a deviation in the training method, there is a problem with its own positioning, plus personality communication, language barriers, and cultural differences......

This is also the reason why Lin Yi wants to train his own agents to play, many big-name agents in the NBA only recognize money and do not recognize people, which may not be of much help to Lin Yi, plus Lin Yi plans to open his own brokerage company in the future, and he does not want to have that kind of thorn in the head who does not listen to his own words.

Lin Yi put forward his own suggestions to the United Arab Emirates, as for whether Yi Jianlian accepts it or not, it is his own business, Da Yao asked him to take care of him, but Da Yao himself seems to have forgotten that Lin Yi is not yet 20 years old.

Is it really good for a 19-year-old to comfort a player who is older than himself?

"We're pretty close, I'll come to you when I'm free." Yi Jianlian also watched the news and knew that Lin Yi would definitely be able to play in the NBA, and it was not good to say that he could be higher than Da Yao's height in the future, so Yi Jianlian didn't put up a fight in front of Lin Yi, Lin Yi was the same age as him, but he could withstand huge pressure, which Yi Jianlian was very convinced.

"No problem!" Lin Yi nodded, New York is going to play four games with the Nets in the new season, don't worry about not having a chance to meet, the Chinese derby between Lin Yi and Yi Jianlian this season is also hyped by the media.
