Chapter 589: All Inclusive
This is something that no one expected!
Yi Jianlian is very strong, everyone thinks of it!
The New York team is also very competitive in the new season, which everyone also thinks!
Even the New York team can win the championship in the new season, and many fans are looking forward to it......
The reason is also because the New York team last season brought too many miracles to everyone, but what no one expected was that the New York team did not collapse when it did not rely on Yi Jianlian!
This was beyond the expectations of all fans after the game.
But it happened!
In the 10 minutes of the first quarter, the New York Knicks replaced Yi Jianlian, but they still played very competitively against the Bulls' starters.
This scene caused a heated discussion among fans watching this game:
"There is really hope for this year's New York team, they can actually guarantee not to collapse when they are easy to play, what are the weaknesses of this team?"
"Wow, I've always fantasized about such a thing, but I didn't expect to see it so soon!"
"Donnie has done a good job, although there are so many things going on this summer, but if you just look at the results, it is clear that his work this summer has been effective!"
Everyone was happy with the performance of the other players in the New York team in this game.
Grant Hill, in particular, hit a three-pointer when he came up:
"This is his value, his presence allows Yi Jianlian to rest for a long time off the court with peace of mind!"
"I think that next summer, Hill will thank Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian will also thank Hill, Yi Jianlian helped Hill realize his dream, and Hill made Yi Jianlian play easier!"
"Grant Hill, I've always felt sorry for him, and now he has a chance to get close to his championship ring, although it's not what we thought, as a core player, but that's enough, God wasn't kind to him, but he persevered!"
Hill's current performance has some people sigh and some people are satisfied, but whether it is a fan who has seen the gorgeous Hill or a fan of Hill who was already a role player when he knew, they all think that Hill will be a good substitute for Yi Jianlian.
After all, the opponent of the New York team in this game is not weak, but it is the champion of the Eastern Conference Finals last season!
Hill can play in a game like this, and he will certainly perform well for most of the schedule.
……
In the second quarter of the game, the New York team continued to substitute players on the court, and Jeremy Lin got the opportunity to play, because of Yi Jianlian, although Jeremy Lin has not played a game for the New York team, but the fans in New York treated him with kindness, and when Jeremy Lin played, they even cheered with encouragement!
Jeremy Lin was not nervous either, and on the first ball, he cooperated with David West on the inside and gave the latter a very good assist.
West pointed at Jeremy Lin when he made the shot, and he was obviously happy with Lin's pass.
Lin's pass also drew cheers from fans on the sidelines.
The New York team built a six-point lead in the first quarter and now has an eight-point lead.
The Bulls are now on the court with the same players as New York, all of them off the bench, but because this team is Thibodeau's, they are still working hard defensively, and this goal did not discourage them, and they are still defending on the defensive end of the next round according to Thibodeau's instructions.
Active defense always pays off, and the Knicks' offense in the next round missed, and the mistake came to Jeremy Lin, who didn't react well to a sudden bag on the offensive end, and Jeremy Lin made a mistake, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to make a layup to score!
The difference is back to 6 points!
A hint of chagrin appeared on Lin's face.
Yi Jianlian also shook his head slightly when he looked at him, he still needs someone to block him from demolishing!
What Jeremy Lin is best known for his ability to handle the ball after blocking and dismantling, he can break through the basket to create fouls, and he can also use the big picture to find teammates.
But if he doesn't have teammates to help him create space in the first place, then it's hard for him to play well.
He was the best blocker for New York, then Chandler, then Smalls, but all three of them were starters, and it was difficult for Jeremy Lin to play with them.
After all, the starting point guard for the New York team is Dragic, a player who made a name for himself in the playoffs last season.
From a functional point of view, a large part of Jeremy Lin's abilities overlap with him, and what Jeremy Lin is good at is exactly what he is better at, and Dragic is a little stronger in all aspects.
If nothing happens, it will be difficult for Jeremy Lin to sit in the starting point guard position.
"Lin Crazy" is even more impossible to talk about!
From 3 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, the two teams successively replaced the main players, Yi Jianlian played at this time, but Jeremy Lin went off the court at this time, which made Yi Jianlian's last idea come to naught, he planned to do a few blocks for Jeremy Lin, so that D'Antoni noticed his ability in this regard, but the result was not successful.
Let's find another opportunity!
The good news is that the season has only just begun, and Jeremy Lin still has plenty of opportunities to prove himself!
Moreover, judging from the backcourt of the New York Knicks, it is not so easy for Jeremy Lin to be abandoned, just Thomas who is a newcomer and Baron Davis, who is about to withdraw from the league, it is difficult for either of these two to shake Jeremy Lin's position, which is why Dragic is off the court and Jeremy Lin gets the opportunity to play.
He has his own strengths.
The main players of the two teams returned to the field, and the scene gradually became intense.
Superstars are superstars because they always score an incredible goal.
"Huh!"
Derrick Rose hit the basket and completed the big loop layup again, and the whole action was called a cool one.
Judging from his entire movements, he is more comfortable with the use of his body, and he also knows how to use his body better, which also makes him more and more terrifying.
If it weren't for the injury that came later, he should have gotten better!
This is something that many fans feel embarrassed about!
Yi Jianlian did not give in, and after Derrick Rose scored, he also responded to the goal and successfully scored two points to pull the difference back.
The game entered a stalemate again, and when the two sides entered the second half, the difference was still 6 points, indicating that the two teams were tied in the second quarter.
Derrick Rose played well, scoring 10 points in the second quarter. Yi Jianlian scored 2 more points than him, but 2 fewer assists than him, and in terms of overall contribution, he was 2 points less, but the rest of the New York team performed a little better than the rest of the Bulls, scoring 2 more points.
The role of the rest of the Knicks team was reflected in the second half, Yi Jianlian began to take over the game, and he was full of energy to hit the basket and didn't take the Bulls as a person at all, three times five divided by two, scored 22 points in one and a half quarters, and won the game with the Knicks 115-100, 15 points.
Derrick Rose also scored 35 points in this game, but in the face of Yi Jianlian, he returned to the helplessness of facing Yi Jianlian who was still in the Bucks two years ago, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't help the team catch up with the score, and there was no hope of winning.
Yi Jianlian got 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, he only played 34 minutes in this game, and this time gradually returned to normal, you must know that last year he averaged 38.9 minutes per game in a season with the Knicks, and this was only the regular season, and when it came to the playoffs, he averaged 42.3 minutes per game, almost didn't tire him stupid!
Now, judging from the situation of the first game, Yi Jianlian will have a lot easier this season.
And when he has a lot of rest time and the whole body is more energetic, his performance on the court is also more efficient, as can be seen from his post-game shooting percentage, shooting 43 points on 54% shooting!
Yi Jianlian is undoubtedly more efficient and more dominant!
It also obviously means that the New York team is stronger.
This naturally made the fans of the New York team excited, and the media of the New York team boasted about the Knicks:
"Yi Jianlian 43 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, 40 plus a triple-double announced that the Grim Reaper will continue to drift in the new season!"
"15 points to beat the Bulls, the Knicks are stronger!"
"The lineup has been upgraded, and the Knicks are still strong in the first game of the new season!"
It was supposed to be just an opening game, and the fans shouldn't have been so excited, but because of the opponent, it was inevitable that the fans would be so excited.
If it was really the Nets or the Bucks, they probably wouldn't be so excited, but the Knicks defeated the Bulls by 15 points, which was the super strong team with the first record last season, and the overall lineup of the Bulls has not changed this season.
On the night when they just got their championship rings, the Knicks defeated such a strong team again, and fans naturally had to think a lot.
***
Sports competition, as long as it is strong enough, it can't be overblown.
That's why too.
Today's Knicks can't be overstated.
Because they continued to soar in the next five games, overturning their opponents one by one to win five in a row, plus the first victory over the Bulls, they completed the opening six consecutive wins.
This is the Knicks' best opening record in the last dozen years.
Although they won the championship last season, before Yi Jianlian came, this team with only Xiao Si stumbled a little, and it was not until Yi Jianlian came that they were on the right track and played a winning streak.
So last season they didn't start the season as well as this one.
It is also for this reason that in the past half a month of the new season, Knicks fans have been like Christmas.
Yi Jianlian averaged 38.7 points per game during this six-game winning streak, which is an improvement of 3 points compared to last season, and this average is also the highest score per game outside of Chamberlain.
Of course, this is only the sixth game of the season, and I don't know if Yi Jianlian can maintain such a scoring efficiency, so no media has come out to talk about this matter!
However, Yi Jianlian successfully won the Player of the Week in the first two weeks of the new season with his performance and the Knicks' record, and won these two Player of the Week, which is almost close to winning the first Player of the Month of the season!
It can also be seen from Yi Jianlian's performance that this is destined to be another year for Yi Jianlian to win all the honors!
"Will Yi win all of this season's Player of the Week and Player of the Month?"
Some fans asked such a question on the Internet, and there were quite a few fans involved in the discussion, and tens of thousands of comments appeared in half an hour.
The Player of the Week is not selected once a week, and the NBA season runs from October to mid-April, which is about 6 months, that is, almost 26 weeks.
However, it is somewhat unexpected that many fans actually think that Yi Jianlian can do it!
For good reason, this season is a shortened season, and the schedule has shrunk by one-third, which also allows Yi Jianlian to complete the task with 10 fewer Player of the Week! Second, the Knicks are menacing this season, and they have played a wave of six consecutive wins at the beginning, and in the case of a good record, Yi Jianlian's performance is also strong enough, yes, no one will worry about Yi Jianlian's performance, they are most worried that the team will drag Yi Jianlian back, but at present, the Knicks are still full of competitiveness this season, and more importantly, Yi Jianlian can play easier and more efficient this season, which undoubtedly makes Yi Jianlian play better this season!
As for the best player of the month, no one discusses this, last season Yi Jianlian only had Derrick Rose, an opponent, and the reason why Derrick Rose won the best player of the month was that his performance was a little unexpected, this season he has no advantage in this regard, as for the team's record and personal data, he is definitely not comparable to Yi Jianlian, although the Bulls' current record is also good, playing 5-1, only lost to New York once, such a gap is not a gap, but it is much worse in terms of personal strength, Derrick Rose doesn't average nearly 40 points per game!
Therefore, Yi Jianlian, the best player of the month, should have no problem receiving all of them.
The difficulty is in the Player of the Week, after all, the Player of the Week award does not require players to play efficient performances for a long time, only need to play three or four games, which is a little less difficult, and therefore more competitive, a guy like Kevin Durant, if he plays a back-to-back 50 plus points that day, he can win the Player of the Week award, unless Yi Jianlian can also play a similar performance that week.
So it's just too difficult!
But even so, there are still many fans who believe that he can do it, especially most of the fans of the New York team: "As long as it is easy to think, then he can do it, he is easy, this is the reason!" ”
