Chapter 0195: Injury Frenzy! Death of the stars! (2nd Update)
『Chapter error, click here to report』
After an upset loss to the Wizards on the road, the Knicks' January schedule has come to an end.
In January, Lin Yitong's statistics increased steadily, averaging 22.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.9 blocks and 1.1 steals per game.
There was no suspense in the Eastern Rookie of the Month award in January, and Lin Yi easily won it.
Those who compared Jennings to Lin Yi at the beginning of the season are now regretting it, because since that 55-point highlight, Jennings, who has won unlimited iron rights, is simply the number one blacksmith in the "Dalaran Blacksmith Shop", and every night Bucks fans can hear a musical feast composed of clanging dingdong as the main melody.
You must know that 40% of the shots are iron-hitting for others, and for Jennings, it is super level play.
Stephen Curry won the Western Conference Rookie of the Month in January, and Curry, one of the "wave brothers", ushered in a wave of small outbursts in January and Lin Yi's memory, averaging 18.6 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game, shooting 48.1% from the field and 47% from three-point range, which is quite efficient.
LeBron James was re-elected the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in January, and the Cavaliers led the Cavaliers to a 12-3 record in January, averaging 30.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 50.3% from the field and 35.3% from three-point range, and making 2.1 three-pointers per game.
The Cavaliers have won consecutive battles, especially when they robbed the Wizards after the "gun gate", in exchange for Jamison, a scorer who averages 20+ per game, and the excited "Big Shark" O'Neal has shouted the slogan of winning the championship in an interview with the media.
Of course, some James expressed their dissatisfaction with O'Neal, why did you say that your grandmother could win the championship with Jordan, and this time with "My Emperor", why don't you say that your grandmother can also win the championship with "My Emperor"?
It seems that it is time to discuss the historical status of a wave of Grandma O'Neill!
The Western Conference Player of the Month in January was won by "My Cannon", and after Scott was sacked, Paul gave his best every game, and Paul led the Hornets to an 11-5 record in January, averaging 20.8 points, 11.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game.
The Hornets seem to have the momentum to return to the playoffs, but Lin Yi knows that Paul is not far from being injured if he continues to play like this.
In January, Paul averaged 41.8 minutes per game, and in order to lead the Hornets, Paul increased his strong offensive breakouts, singles increased, and he tried desperately to defend in defense...... It's only a matter of time before the Hornets break up.
After the January campaign, the Knicks are currently 33-13 and remain in third place in the East, while ESPN is firmly in sixth place in the power rankings.
In the season MVP rankings, Lin Yi has risen to third place, second only to James and Kobe.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Yi accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV on the eve of the Spring Festival, and gave Chinese fans a New Year's greeting through the TV lens, but unfortunately China has a Spring Festival holiday, but the NBA does not, but there are many Chinese in New York, and Lin Yi can also feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
In addition, Lin Yi decided that he must find a girlfriend before the Spring Festival next year, because it is too boring to spend the holiday alone.
……
It ends in January and opens in February.
February has always been a unique month for the NBA, first of all, the All-Star Game is usually held in February, and secondly, according to the NBA schedule, the trade deadline is usually in mid-to-late February.
The Knicks are now arguably the most unique team in the NBA.
Other teams are busy trading and reinforcing them, but only the Knicks are watching the excitement like a crowd eating melons.
Many Knicks fans are anxious, and have even begun to give advice to the team, trading Kobe Bryant for the Knicks today and James for the Knicks tomorrow.
In fact, people don't know that the Knicks don't have no trade intentions, but that the team's deputy general manager Javier Stanford stopped several stupid things that general manager Donny Wash wanted to do.
For example, Donnie Worth looked at the stats and felt that Salmons was a strong defender and actually planned to trade Gallinari, but fortunately, Javier Stanford decisively blocked the deal.
Lin Yi gave Javier a decisive praise after learning about this incident, and the facts once again proved that most of the managers who operate in the league do not understand the ball.
Lin Yi and Javier Stanford are not in favor of the Knicks trading in the middle of this season, because the Knicks do not have too good chips in their hands, and general manager Donny Worth has only cleared the team's salary space before, and if the Knicks force reinforcements, all they can get at this time is a bunch of salary baggage.
Donnie Worth is not stupid, he originally asked around for fear that Lin Yi would be dissatisfied with the team's inaction, and now Lin Yi is not dissatisfied, Donny Worth feels that basketball still has to listen to Javier Stanford's professional advice.
Of course, Lin Yi couldn't be dissatisfied, because he knew very well that in his memory, the Knicks died of illness and rushed to the hospital.
Many people will criticize the Warriors for huddling superstars and stars in the future, but the fundamental reason why the Warriors can gather a bunch of All-Star players is because the logo man has laid a rich foundation for the Warriors.
Don't open contracts indiscriminately, don't trade indiscriminately, sometimes it's the best reinforcement.
……
At the beginning of February, "Amy" ushered in bad news, Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson held a press conference to say that because his youngest daughter suffered from a strange illness and high fever, he will withdraw from this year's Dallas All-Star Game, and he announced that he will terminate the remaining contract of the season with the Philadelphia 76ers and return home to take care of his little daughter.
Countless "Amy" burst into tears, and this year they voted frantically to see Iverson again at the All-Star Game, but unfortunately they were destined not to see that scene.
Because of Iverson's withdrawal, the league announced that David Lee, the New York Knicks' power forward, will be added to the Eastern Conference All-Star bench, and the Atlanta Hawks' star Joe Johnson will be the starting point of the Eastern Conference All-Stars.
Compared to "Aimi", "Komi" felt much happier, but this happiness did not last long.
After entering February, the Lakers officially announced that Kobe Bryant would withdraw from the Dallas All-Star Game due to an index finger injury that had not healed for a long time, and the Lakers also announced that Kobe Bryant would be out of action for two weeks.
The absence of Iverson and Kobe Bryant has caused the Dallas All-Star Game to lose a lot of attention, and David Stern is now even more convinced that he is right to praise Lin Yi.
Because many fans left messages on the Internet saying that perhaps the only motivation that can support them to continue watching this year's All-Star Game is that Lin Yi will participate in the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game.
The blow to fans isn't over yet, as Trail Blazers star Roy "Mamba" Roy will also miss the Dallas All-Star Game due to injury.
Injuries are always the biggest enemy of these stars, and in the NBA, there are far more talented people who are ruined by injuries than who end up with them.
At this point, the roster for the Dallas All-Star Game East and West is basically decided.
Eastern starters: Lin Yi, Garnett, James, Wade, Joe Johnson; Subs: Rondo, David Lee, Rose, Pierce, Howard, Bosh, Gerard Wallace; Manager: Stan Van Gundy.
Hawks center Al Horford, who was supposed to be selected for the All-Star East bench this year, was unfortunately missed because of Lin Yi's appearance and "Warcraft" Howard was squeezed to the bench.
West starters: Stoudemire, Duncan, Nowitzki, Anthony, Nash; Subs: Gasol, Durant, Randolph, Deron Williams, Billups, Kidd, Paul; Manager: George Carr.
The outside line of the West can be said to be injured for a lap, after Roy and Kobe Bryant retired, if Lin Yi remembers correctly, Paul will also retire, and it seems that Chris Carman will be replaced at that time......
There are indeed a lot of injuries this year, and many celebrities who say that the NBA confrontation is not as fierce as before have stopped talking.
Lin Yi himself knew very well that if it weren't for the healing technique, he might have been injured at least seven or eight times this season.
It seems that the NBA has a lot less grappling during this period, but the pace is also much faster than before, and the physical fitness of modern basketball players is definitely better than the generation, and the level of medical care is getting higher and higher, but injuries are still a barrier that many players will never be able to overcome.
A depressed Stern wondered if it was time to adjust the rules, if there were a bunch of injuries like this every year, then the All-Star Game would be all a bunch of supporting characters, who would see it......
