Lin Yi's back number in the new season is No. 44, and D'Antoni once asked him if he wanted to wear No. 23, but this proposal was rejected by Lin Yi. To put it bluntly, the number is blown out, if wearing a No. 23 can really become Michael Jordan, then everyone should simply wear No. 23.

And Lin Yi has his own selfishness, he deliberately found a more out-of-the-way number, in order to be able to be canonized after he typed it, think about it, in the future, everyone will not wear No. 23 but wear No. 44, how much face does Lin Yi have?

On October 1, the New York Knicks made their preseason debut on their home turf.

Madison Square Garden was overcrowded, and the ball market in New York was already hot, and after the video of Lin Yi's intra-team training game was circulated, many New York fans loved him even more.

Lin Yi has not signed the sneaker contract for the time being, he knows that when he plays in the NBA, this sneaker contract will be more valuable, Lin Yi is not short of money for the time being, and he has asked Xiao Zhong to find a suitable partner for himself.

Other Lin Yi is not familiar with it, what League of Legends, Eat Chicken, Glory of Kings have not come out during this period, plus the online live broadcast platform, there are some others that are not, it is not difficult to make money just by relying on these Lin Yi.

And Riot is a small company now, and it would be very good if it could be shared, thinking that he would bring these NBA stars to play and play chicken games in the future, Lin Yi was still a little excited.

Hayward hasn't entered the NBA yet, otherwise this game master Lin Yi would have wanted to compete with him.

The first opponent of the preseason in New York is the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks have achieved good results in recent seasons, with the Hawks singles Joe, Josh Smith who can fly away, and the 07-year-old Tanhua, the center Al Horford with good mobility ability, plus Jamal Crawford on the bench, Malvin Williams, the former star of the successful transformation, the newly selected Jeff Teague, and the traded Mike Bibby......

No matter how you look at it, the Hawks' lineup is all out of the Knicks.

Hey, that's what people say about people who are more popular than people who die.

Although the Hawks have not been a giant, they can always pull out a playoff powerhouse every few years, and compared with many impetuous Eastern teams, at least the Hawks' uniform team is down-to-earth and does practical things.

Madison Square Garden is the hottest home stadium in the NBA, and the cheers of the fans at the scene have made Lin Yi fully experience the feeling of the NBA's blood rush when the players of the two teams are introduced.

The only pity is that the preseason system doesn't admit it, otherwise Lin Yi must apply to go up and mix for 30 minutes every game.

The starting five of the Knicks are center Lin Yi, power forward David Lee, small forward Al Harrington, shooting guard Gallinari, and point guard Chris Duhon.

This lineup can throw three points except David Lee, although David Lee has the shortest range in the starter, but as an excellent opportunist, a real "cake forward", David Lee has a strong ability to open up space.

The starting five on the Hawks' side are point guard Mike Bibby, scoring guard Joe Johnson, small forward Josh Smith, power forward Malvin Williams, and center Al Horford.

TNT broadcast the game live, and All-American No. 2 Barkley said: "Lin has joined New York this season, and they will definitely make the playoffs. ”

Barkley is always inexplicably confident in his own judgment, and he is a poisonous grandmother to Lin Yi.

Kenny Smith raised the bar and said, "The Hawks are a playoff powerhouse, and their roster is far above the Knicks. ”

Barkley didn't refute either, "But this is a preseason, hopefully the Knicks can bring us some changes, every year they are called rotten apples, I don't know if we can get rid of this title this year." ”

On the court, the three referees in charge of enforcement today are Tony Brasses, Ken Moore, and Ed Malloy.

David Stern also turned on the TV at home, New York is one of the teams he wants to win in the new season, after Yao Ming's serious injury reimbursement, the Knicks are currently the most popular team in China, Stern has tasted the sweetness from the Chinese market, and he also watched the video of Lin Yi's training game that circulated, and he firmly believes that this different Chinese big man can pull the ball market in New York.

For his part, Stern prefers attacking teams that look good. What kind of defense, all to die, okay? How could fans possibly pay for a defensive team? If New York plays well, Stern doesn't mind taking care of the Knicks in the new season.

After all, the Knicks generate revenue for the league every year.

At the beginning of the game, as soon as Horford jumped up in the jump ball competition, he found that Lin Yi was too tall!

Moreover, Lin Yi's bullet speed is much faster than Yao Ming's, and with his arm span, Horford helplessly watched Lin Yi jump the ball successfully.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers, the New York Knicks have not had their own star for many years, and for a city with an insider complex, Lin Yi is their darling for the new season.

Chris Dujon dribbled steadily through the halfcourt, and the point guard, who spent two of his best seasons playing under D'Antoni, was characterized by being obedient and knowing how many pounds and taels he had.

As soon as he dribbled past half court, Chris Duhong handed the ball to Lin Yi's hands.

"The center pulls up to the high position, and it seems that this will be the main play style of the Knicks in the new season." Barkley said.

"Is Lin trying to break through? But it's not the NCAA. Kenny Smith demolished the stage.

On the court, Lin Yi tested it, Al Horford's movement ability is good, if he just does a simple crossover and it is not good to shake him off, the Hawks' defense is indeed very good.

Lin Yi called for a block, and at this time, the Knicks' power forward David Lee came up.

Inside line to inside line block and dismantle?

The fans of the New York Knicks and the viewers in front of the TV were entertained.

David Lee's blocking and dismantling quality is good, the center's ability to go around the blocking and dismantling is much weaker than that of the guard, no matter how good Horford's movement is, Malvin Williams, the Hawks' big forward, can only change the defense, at this moment, Lin Yi suddenly threw his hands inside without looking at people!

How could a cake eater like David Lee miss the opportunity?

Easy pick-and-roll with both hands and oh, easy hands-free layups.

Never waste any more physical strength, this is David Lee's label, no matter how gorgeous the attack is, isn't it two points?

David Lee and Lin Yi slapped their hands.

On the Knicks' bench, several guards are under pressure, and Lin Yi seems to be a greater threat to the interior than they are to the interior to block and dismantle?

That's not it, although the NBA opponents don't know Lin Yi very well, but they all know more or less that this guy can take three steps directly from the three-point line, and he can't defend it, in comparison, the Knicks' guards are weak.

David Lee is a good eater of cakes under the block, and he is quite skilled with Lin Yi.

"My God, don't look at the empty pick-up, Lin is a 221 cm version of the magician!" Barkley praised.

Kenny Smith found that he couldn't go back, so he muffled and didn't speak.

There were bursts of applause in Madison Square Garden, Lin Yi's action of playing ball came with three points elegant, and the fans were willing to buy it if he played well, which is an eternal truth.

The Hawks came back, Joe Johnson scored a mid-range shot quietly, Gallinari was more than active in defense, but he was inexperienced, and after Joe was old, he could still take a bunch of frizzy boys from the Jazz to do it in the playoffs, and Gallinari couldn't prevent Joe Johnson.

On the Knicks' side, the ball is in Lin Yi's hand again, and Horford looks resentful, won't he come to block and dismantle again, right?

You and the guard block and forget it, what the hell is the block between you and the inside?

Just when Horford was hesitating to change the defense, Lin Yi suddenly seized the opportunity to break into the inside, Lin Yi's step was too sudden, and he broke through the moment he and David Lee completed the blocking.

Lin Yi was too flexible, and Horford couldn't react.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yi copied the elbow pass that he didn't look at during the training game, and Al Harrington didn't relentless after receiving the ball and hit a three-point shot!

5 to 2!

Barkley laughed so hard that he almost leaned back, "Oh! Oh my God, is he really a center? ”

Kenny Smith said: "But this kind of fancy passing is not practical. ”

Of course Lin Yi knows that it's not practical, this is a preseason, to be practical, of course, to make the fans happy!

Lin Yi raised his finger at the New York fans after two assists in a row, and the fans responded with cheers.

David Stern in front of the TV was also happy, this kid can, he made New York fans like him in such a short time.
