Billups was in Orlando to meet the Knicks.

"Welcome to New York!" When the team's head coach D'Antoni patted him on the shoulder, Billups was still a little apprehensive, even though he was recognized as a big heart on the basketball court, but unlike playing against the Knicks, the opponent has now become his teammate......

"Poor Marco, I wish him all the best in Denver." Gallinari (who traded Belinelli, don't get confused) was the first to greet Billups, and the handsome Italian was really relatable when he laughed.

"Hello, Danilo." Billups shook hands with Gallinari.

"Hey! Shaq, don't bully Lin, Chauncy is here! Gallinari shouted at the training ground.

On the training ground, the corners of O'Neill's mouth raised, "The last shot of 'shark splash'!" ”

Lin Yi on the floor: "Die, die, die!" ”

Billups who saw this scene: "......"

This...... Is it really that Predator Knicks?

Billups had seen the video of the Knicks game, and he thought D'Antoni was using Larry Brown's style of management to tune the defense.

"Hey, Chauncey, are you here to hug the 'shark' thighs too?" O'Neill gave Billups a bear hug, and Gallinari added, "Come on, Shaq, Lin said last time, sharks don't have legs!" ”

O'Neill glared at Gallinari, and the "Second Battalion Commander" spread his hands and walked away decisively.

The shark patted Billups on the back, "Don't mind, there are more bear children on this team." ”

Billups nodded, as if to say telling.

At this time, Lin Yi, who was holding his waist, also walked over, "Welcome to New York, Chauncey." ”

O'Neill glanced at Lin Yi: "We are in Orlando now!" ”

Hell, the kidneys hurt so much, Lin Yi swore that if he returned to China during the shutdown, he would go to the Shaolin Temple, and he had to learn the seventy-two stunts, but it seems that the monkey stealing the peach has no effect on the shark?

Billups said hello to Lin Yi, he didn't dare to slack off, Billups is not Ricky Davis, and he was a little worried that Lin Yi's more dominant style of play would not fit in with him.

"Hey, Luis, don't mention the woman from last night, okay?" The Knicks team members walked over one by one, and Lowe and Stephenson chatted about last night's 'fun facts' as they walked.

"Damn, Lance, if you hadn't revealed that I had a girlfriend, it would have been me and not you!" Louwe said.

"Hey, this is called the benefit of being single, you know why the boss has been single, right? Danilo is right when he says that being single is the happiest thing in the world. Stephenson said.

Lin Yi looked at the two second-hand goods who came over, and first invited Stephenson to eat a brutal iron elbow.

O'Neill said to Billups calmly: "I just said, there are more bear children in this team. ”

Billups: "......"

Is this team really the current No. 1 team in the East?

You know, when Billups was in the Pistons, everyone usually practiced hard, and while Larry Brown was away, everyone would joke with each other, but it was all up to the point.

At the Nuggets, George Carr also asked the players to talk less during practice, so Billups got used to the atmosphere of honest practice.

However, the Knicks ...... You're training now, right?

What about D'Antoni?

Why is he more like a KFC grandpa than Phil Jackson? Mascot? Does he care?

Because the plane was late, Billups only caught the second half of the training session.

In fact, D'Antoni didn't care, but because he was going to play tomorrow, so Lao De didn't ask the players to practice to the death during training, and mainly used some light games, mainly to let these players find the feeling of the game.

"Is there a fitness problem? We'll start you tomorrow. D'Antoni asked, looking at Billups.

Billups nodded.

So in the second half of the training session, D'Antoni arranged a five-on-five full-court offensive and defensive drill, and he deliberately divided Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, and Billups into a team, and then lined up Whiteside, Battier, Danny Green, Lowe, and Livingston in a team.

O'Neill and Wilson Chandler sat on the sidelines, working with the coaches as referees and statisticians.

……

How long did it take for Lin Yi to conquer Billups?

To be precise, in the 2 offensive and defensive rounds, the Knicks' in-team training is also based on switching offense, so the specific time is 1 minute 09 seconds.

He willingly blocked and demolished for me?

Isn't he the absolute heart of this team?

Isn't he averaging 26.8 shots per game?

This dismantling ......

Here's down!

Golden opportunity!

It's incredible, Billups feels that Lin Yi's ball quotient is too high, and the opposite side is ...... Is it really just a bench?

Livingston's several back-hits, even Billups couldn't do it, and one ball was fouled by Billups.

Although he hates to admit it, Billups really wants to say: the Knicks' bench defense is better than the Nuggets starters.

It's a completely different experience, and Lin Yi is also very comfortable to play, and the fact that there are fewer direct assists than Loops does not mean that he will not organize attacks.

Billups initially treated Lin Yi as Anthony to cooperate, he was able to help Lin Yi divide the space, one hit is one hit one, and it was difficult for the opponent to help defend or pack.

But then Billups found that he and Lin Yi were more efficient at blocking and dismantling, and Lin Yi could always pass the ball to the open space inexplicably.

"Carl was right." Billups sighed, Lin Yi is too crucial for this Knicks team, his contribution is not just about scoring, he is indeed a worthy leader of this team.

"How?" After the training session, D'Antoni asked his assistants.

"Fit perfectly, Chauncey's big-picture view can give full play to Lin's role on the offensive end, and he has a lot of experience defensively, Mike, seriously, we're very strong." Assistant coach Donaldson said confidently.

D'Antoni does not deny, "Yes, we are strong. ”

"However, you may not believe it when you say it, Chauncey's data is not as good as Sean's." D'Antoni took the data recorded by another coach and circulated it to everyone.

In the 20-minute full-court offensive and defensive drill, Billups made 2 of 4 three-pointers and made no other shots, scoring 6 points and 3 assists.

Livingston, on the other hand, was 4-of-6 from the field with eight points, four rebounds and two assists.

This is one of the characteristics of Billups's play, he doesn't take the shot, even if he hits the iron, he chooses an efficient way to score, and he can't destroy the Knicks' offensive system.

But his defense and combing for offense is exactly what this Knicks team is lacking at the moment.

This can be seen from the 47-30 point difference between the main team and the bench team.

Billups is really convinced, he thinks Lin Yi is the most terrible teammate he has ever worked with, if the light is better than the score, maybe Anthony is better than Lin Yi, but Lin Yi's style of play is too smart.

What makes Billups admire even more is Livingston, because as soon as Billups comes, he will snatch Livingston's main position, but it seems that Livingston doesn't care?

"Sean, congratulations on your recovery." Billups said to Livingston.

Livingston is really reborn, he hits the back of his hand, and Billups can't defend against it anyway.

"Thanks, come on for tomorrow's game, Chaunce." Livingston smiled and said.

"Wait, Sean, don't you mind the starter?" Billups asked curiously.

Livingston spread his hands: "Hey, Chauncey, I was originally a pseudo-starter, and I was more of a role in the bench lineup, if it weren't for the Knicks' coaching staff and Lin, I might still be lying in a hospital bed right now!" ”

Billups: "......"

This Knicks are really strong.

If it is only about defense, Billups doesn't think that the Pistons that won the championship that year will definitely beat the Knicks, Tony Allen, Battier, Tyson Chandler...... Not only are they athletic, but they also have a high ball quotient, and they don't rely on brute force or small movements to defend.

It's all about your own reading comprehension of the game.

And this Knicks' offense is much stronger than that Pistons....... Billups found that the Knicks' transition offense was extremely resolute, and anyone would dare to shoot whenever they had the opportunity.

The most important thing is that Lin Yi's image does not match his data, which is a player who averages more than 20 shots per game, but ...... After these 20 minutes of offensive and defensive drills, Lin Yi also made 14 shots.

"It's great to be able to play in New York!" Billups thought to himself.
