I have to say that the schedule of the new NBA season is very interesting.

The New York Knicks, who played the slogan of "one man, one defender", will go to Miami in the first round of the regular season to challenge the Miami Heat, who are "no brothers, no basketball".

Stern is indeed a president who keeps up with the times, and all four games of the Knicks and Heat will be broadcast live across the United States in the new season, including the Christmas game, the All-Star game and the finale game.

Straight to the point.

After Sean Battier agreed to play the No. 4 position (power forward) in the new season, the Knicks' rotation strategy for the new season could be perfectly realized.

With the benefits of the rotation coming to the Knicks, D'Antoni plans to start experimenting with it in the preseason.

In fact, it is not difficult to convince Battier to play the number four position.

The reason why Lin Yi, who will appear in the No. 4 position in the new season, has not asked the Knicks management to introduce a substitute for the No. 4 position is because he has seen the effect of Battier playing power forward in the future, and Battier can swing in the third and fourth positions, so that the Knicks' playing time can be fully utilized.

After all, the Knicks' second and third positions add up to 96 minutes of playing time, but there are as many as six players competing for these 96 minutes of playing time.

Comrade Battier is really a good comrade, and he has no objection to playing as a substitute or as a No. 4 in the new season.

At this point, the coaching staff of D'Antoni and the Knicks have basically finalized the team's 15-man roster and regular 12-man roster for the new season.

The list of fifteen is as follows:

Centres: Tyson Chandler, Shaquille O'Neal, Hassan Whiteside

Power forwards: Lin Yi, Sean Battier

Small forwards: Gallinari, Belinelli, Tony Allen

Shooting guards: Wilson Chandler, Danny Green, Lance Stephenson

Point guards: Shaun Livingston, Louis Williams, Beverley, Dodge Norris

In the case of no accidents in the team, Beverley, Dodgers, and Big White will guard the water cooler for a period of time, and the Knicks will really rotate twelve people in the new season, and in the point guard position, Livingston will play as a starter, but in fact, Livingston will be a pseudo-starter, and he will play more time on the bench.

Finson's dribbling is good, in Livingston's break, Finson will swing to the No. 1 position, the Knicks' bench lineup is no longer led by Lin Yilai, and in the game where O'Neal is not suitable to play, the Knicks bench lineup will put on a "death five" defense to deal with.

The twelve-man rotation can fully ensure the defensive intensity of the Knicks in every quarter of the game, Lin Yi feels that this lineup is too frustrating, to tell the truth, Lin Yi feels that he has the obligation to cut off the pass button after the big score lead, otherwise the opposite side will be too miserable, and it will really cause a "bloody case".

In the first week of joint training, Lin Yi was almost cried by his teammates, Lin Yi now as long as he is free to find the "boxing champion" to fight alone, of course, he is not boxing, but basketball one-on-one, after all, he is not Milicic, and he doesn't want to beat Larry Brown.

After no media watched the game, these guys also did a real job, and after several team training games, Lin Yi's best game was 16 of 40 shots, and the shooting rate just reached 40%......

But this is really not Lin Yitie!

Because the Knicks' rotation defense is not a joke, especially when encountering Tyson Chandler, Battier, Tony Allen, Danny Green and Livingston's team, Lin Yi found that the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics were not easy to use at all.

These guys are all "blocking experts", not to mention the low success rate of blocking and dismantling, and even if it is misplaced, Lin Yi can only pull it out with a face, as for the inrush in?

Well...... Lin Yi, even if he took five steps to break through, his efficiency was very average.

And the shooting feel will be affected by the rhythm of offense and defense, Lin Yi is very depressed now, obviously he wanted to abuse people after the summer special training, but he didn't expect to be abused by his teammates first......

Especially on the sidelines, there is a fat man who always wants to be lazy, and every now and then he will roll his jersey into the shape of a microphone: "Oh! From Rin's brutal jump shot, Sean Battier simply had no way to defend, but - the basket stopped Lin again! ”

"In the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, we witnessed the half-human and half-god Vince Carter, but now I want to give you a grand introduction, because Lin is not a half-human and half-god, he is a god! A true god of iron! ”

Hey, don't say it, this fat man really has a talent for commentary, but Lin Yi felt that O'Neill was sprinkling his resentment against someone, so he couldn't bear it, and Lin Yi, who didn't need to endure it anymore, walked in front of the fat man with a smile on his face, and he touched O'Neal's head.

"Shaq, the future is yours!" The corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he slipped away immediately after pretending to be finished.

Just kidding, O'Neill's little thing is big, but he's got big fists!

Fight should also pay attention to whether it is good to fight and retreat!

Fighting and retreating is the essence of brutality!

The Knicks' coaching staff was laughing and crying, and they were always muddyed by the gang in every serious training session, and Gallinari played his skills as a veteran New York driver, sharing a wave of experience every time he took a break, and whenever he talked about the highlights, O'Neal would always say, "Weld the door and no one can get out!" ”

Of course, Gallinari complained that Lin Yi was still single, and he usually suffered from Lin Yi's brutal elbows.

Donaldson, the Knicks' third assistant coach, said to D'Antoni with a depressed face: "Mike, we are going to play the Heat in the opening game of the regular season of the new season!" ”

Donaldson thinks these guys don't take the Heat too seriously!

"But, Don, are our players slacking off in training? Didn't you notice that Shaq had never missed a training session until now? D'Antoni patted Donaldson on the shoulder.

"But Mike, Shaq always stood on the sidelines and did nothing...... I even suspect that his motivation for not missing training sessions is to complain. Donaldson said.

D'Antoni sighed and looked at the sky, it seems that his assistant coach is really not suitable to lead the team.

You know, D'Antoni sees a lot more than Donaldson, because a good dressing room atmosphere is very important, these players have a relaxed mentality, but every training session is a matter of time.

O'Neill is 37 years old and expects him to train well? Just kidding, even if he signed the Sharks to make up for the salary space, he is also the second highest salary of the current Knicks, if O'Neal is injured, who will the Knicks talk to?

D'Antoni is not Riley, he doesn't like any devil training, and D'Antoni thinks that what Lin Yi said is very right, he values his opponent tactically and despises his opponent mentally.

Now the Knicks players are not only not affected by the media's downturn, but are more relaxed, and it is easy to play games that surprise people with such light loading.

The Knicks' joint practice will end at the end of September, and according to the preseason schedule, they will have to fly to China first, play two China games with the Houston Rockets in Beijing and Shanghai, and then return to the United States.

Yao Ming's comeback made the Chinese derby between Lin Yi and Da Yao full of topics, plus O'Neal came to the Knicks, Battier changed from Da Yao's teammate to Lin Yi's teammate, which made many Chinese fans lament the passage of time.

It is really embarrassing that the former "Yao Shark Duel" can still be reproduced.

……

I don't know if the Knicks' owner James Dolan is too saving for him because of the summer team, the Knicks' trip to China has opened the eyes of many Knicks newcomers, O'Neal has played for the Lakers, but seriously, even O'Neal sighed, because the Knicks used a special plane to transport the freshest ingredients from the United States to China, Dolan is too proud!

The new season is coming, and the Knicks' players' diet at this time will be greatly controlled.

Luxurious special plane, luxurious logistics team, as long as you can think of it, Dolan can find a way for you, even O'Neill's body can lie comfortably in the special plane to have a shot.

"I suddenly regretted it, I should have come to New York last season." O'Neill touched his chin and lay down comfortably.

"Shaq, you said that you went to China, do you want to take everyone to eat spicy hot pot?" Lin Yi said eagerly.

O'Neill's eyes lit up, wonderful!

O'Neill has come to China a lot, knowing how powerful the spicy hot pot is, and after hearing the discussion between the two, Battier on the other side smiled slightly and was silent, spicy hot pot or something, anyway, Battier won't eat it if he kills him.

The Knicks arrived in Beijing on October 2, during the National Day holiday, Lin Yi and O'Neal said they would do it, and a Chongqing chain of spicy hot pot heard that the NBA's Knicks were going to charter the game, and even their boss was shocked.

Of course, in addition to chartering the court, the Knicks provide their own ingredients, not that the Knicks don't believe in the reputation of this chain of hot pot restaurants, but that the calories consumed by these players must be strictly controlled.

As a result, the Knicks players who were very curious about the spicy hot pot were miserable, spicy to spicy, but it was really cool, but after the coolness, everyone felt that a certain position of their own was hot and painful.

Lin Yi and O'Neill high-fived excitedly, and the two were as happy as if they had completed an aerial relay together.

O'Neill is admiring Lin Yi more and more, because there are not many young people who like to die, and it is worth cultivating!

Battier smiled and didn't move the chopsticks, but after seeing his teammates eating happily, this "honest man" couldn't help it, Battier's chopsticks were very skillful, so Battier, who couldn't eat spicy hot pot, couldn't help but sigh after clipping a chopstick: "It's so fragrant!" ”

Of course, Battier said it was in English, but the translation was indeed Chinese.

The next day, Knicks head coach D'Antoni, who didn't go to eat spicy hot pot yesterday, was stunned during team practice, because the Knicks players walked like sissies one by one, and they always covered a certain part with their hands when playing.

D'Antoni was a little scared, could it be that this team has a unique fetish?

Thinking that Lin Yi has always been single, D'Antoni felt a little panicked.

Fortunately, Lao De quickly found out the truth, and when he learned that the team members ate spicy hot pot, D'Antoni was instantly relieved, otherwise as an old straight man, D'Antoni would definitely hide far away.

However, to Lin Yi's surprise, he could understand that O'Neill and Battier ate spicy hot pot with few side effects, but Whiteside, the kid, is obviously still in love with spicy hot pot!

He even ran over and asked Lin Yi, when will he eat again?

Where can you eat such authentic spicy hot pot in the United States? Whiteside felt that after eating this hot pot, he felt more refreshed than after three days and three nights in a row.

"If I'm not mistaken, when 'Big White Side' played in China's NBL, the first team he played for was Sichuan......" Lin Yi touched his head, is this fate?

The reason for the opening of the 'big white side' is the spicy hot pot?

Sure enough, this 9.6 million square kilometers of land is full of magic!
