Chapter 0161: D'Antoni's Resentment (Fourth Update!) Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription! )
After a series of big wins, the Knicks' inconsistent characteristics reappeared, on the 21st, they lost to the Bobcats at home, in this game Larry Brown sacrificed Gerald Wallace's big move to play power forward, and he and Tyson Chandler successfully suppressed Lin Yi's play.
Of course, the main reason why the Knicks lost was because they collectively built gods again.
……
After a day of rest, the Knicks, who continued to sit at Madison Square Garden at home, defeated the Bulls 96-81 in a game they had beaten recently, and head coach Vinnie De Nagro learned the lesson of the 58-point defeat in the first round between the two teams, and the Bulls pressed the tempo and resolutely did not shoot for less than 24 seconds.
On offense, the Bulls gave up grabbing frontcourt rebounds and switched to active defense, successfully curbing the Knicks' transition offense, but their own offense was too bad, and Derrick Rose fell into the quagmire of pseudo-joint defense again.
Lin Yi remembers that Rose's performance when he played international games for the United States team was very average, and there were reasons why he had just returned from injury, but more because the FIBA game was not a pseudo joint defense, it was a real joint defense.
Rose hit just five of his 16 shots and finished with 10 points, five assists and four rebounds.
Lin Yi played 35 minutes, 8-of-16, 2-of-4 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, and got 22 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.
……
The 24th is Christmas Eve, and the Knicks have a day off, and now it's not just Lin Yi who wants to smash eggs at Stern's house, but all the players on the Knicks team want to smash eggs at Stern's house.
Because the hard-working Knicks have many back-to-backs, forget it, and the Christmas war will arrange for them to fight!
So the Knicks' players almost spent Christmas Eve with grudges.
On the morning of the 24th, Elizabeth Olsen came to Lin Yi's house, because Olsen was going to spend Christmas with his sisters, so he didn't have time to take care of the hamster named "Pippi Mouse" and the Erha named "Sakasky".
When he saw Pippi Mouse and Sakasky, Lin Yi was dumbfounded, at first Lin Yi was afraid that this Erha would play the hamster to death, but he didn't expect the two pets, one big and one small, to get along very well.
Peek Mouse lay quietly on top of Sakasky's head, grabbing the handful of red fur on the top of Sakasky's head with his fleshy little paws, like a knight of Erha......
Lin Yi's agent Zhong Muchen also went home for the holidays, and only Lin Yi and these two pets were left in the huge villa.
Last year's Christmas Lin Yi spent with Curry's family, so he didn't feel lonely, I don't know why, Lin Yi felt that this year's Christmas Eve was extremely long......
In the evening, Lin Yi and Curry talked on the phone for a while, and the primary school students have been in a good mood recently, although they don't have much ball, but they can always seize the opportunity to show themselves on the court.
Lin Yi knows that this has a lot to do with the fact that he helped Curry improve his shooting posture in the summer, after all, Curry, who has a faster rate of fire, is the Ku Hao in Lin Yi's memory.
"Hah, Lin? Are you eating takeout at home alone? Curry suddenly felt a little distressed about Lin Yi.
"Yes! Then again, Stephen, did you bring Ayesha home this year? "It's okay for Lin Yi not to be said, as soon as Curry said it, he felt that he was really empty today.
"Lin, I think it's time for you to find a girlfriend, I think the girl who often goes to Madison Square Garden to watch you play is pretty good." Curry said.
"No, no, Stephen, Elizabeth and I are just good friends." Girlfriend? Speaking of which, Lin Yi has basically been addicted to playing in the past two years, maybe it's time to enjoy life.
"Ha, Lin, secretly tell you that I am going to get engaged to Ayesha, and when the time comes, my wedding must be you." Curry said.
Lin Yi agreed, he remembered that Curry and Ayesha got married in the summer of 11, and they were indeed not far from getting engaged.
Curry is a rare family man, and he has a sense of family responsibility that many black players don't have, which has a lot to do with the fact that the elder Dale has been strict with his family since childhood.
So after entering the NBA and having a stable job, Curry's first thought was to have a stable family.
In the future, Curry has said in interviews more than once that he likes the feeling of home, and it is precisely because of the stability of the family that Curry can focus 100% on basketball, so his success is not accidental, it is just a matter of time.
It's okay not to be told by Curry, after being sprinkled with a wave of dog food by Curry, looking at the two pets who were playing with thieves, Lin Yi looked up at the sky......
Perhaps feeling the loneliness of his master, Sakasky sat beside Lin Yi obediently, and the leather mouse above his head also emitted from time to time: roar ~ roar ~ roar, as if to comfort Lin Yi.
……
On the 25th, the NBA Christmas game was in full swing, and the Knicks welcomed the Miami Heat at their home stadium at Madison Square Garden, which was the second round of the season meeting between the two teams.
Wade successfully led the team to pull one back, and the Heat defeated the Knicks 119-105 on the road, the main reason why the Knicks lost this game was because they were indeed a little tired, and the Flash was in good shape, and Wade, who puffed up his cheeks, made a seven-in-seven-out game in the Knicks' restricted area, and got a quasi-triple-double of 33 points, 9 assists and 11 rebounds.
Lin Yi had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and his state was mediocre.
However, the Knicks and Heat game is not the focus, and the focus of this year's Christmas game is the Lakers vs. Cavaliers, 23vs24, O'Neal returns to Staples......
Unfortunately, the game didn't play as well as people wanted to see.
The Cavaliers easily defeated the Lakers 102-87 on the road, and after the game, the little emperor James finally showed a long-lost smile, and the reason why the Cavaliers won this game was that Morris Williams, who was called "Mo Bu Chuan" by Chinese fans, suddenly broke out, and Xiao Mo, who was 8 of 13 in the game and 3 of 3 in three-pointers, scored a Cavaliers-high 28 points.
James excitedly said after the game that Mo Williams was his tall little brother.
And the reason why the Lakers lost is also very simple, Kobe Bryant once again conquered the rim with his beautiful shooting, and Staples's basket enjoyed the top massage from Kobe Bryant in this game, Kobe Bryant shot 11 of 33 in the whole game, and tried his best to get 35 points, 8 assists and 10 rebounds.
The all-out Kobe has moved the world's Komi, and the great Kobe Bryant has impressed 6 billion Komite with his unyielding fighting spirit!
It's all to blame on the Lakers' group of cheating teammates, the soft egg Gasol, the waste Atai, the garbage Bynum, and the stupid Odom, it's really too spicy chicken!
Another gimmick in this Cavaliers-Lakers game is the return of the big sharks to Staples, O'Neal hugged Kobe Bryant before the game, and it seems that the two have met and laughed at each other.
Lakers fans have little grudge against O'Neal after the team's championship last season, and the player who helped build the Lakers' dynasty also received applause at Staples for this game.
The Christmas game is over, and the Knicks have a two-day break.
But Lin Yi found that Comrade Lao De's brows were wrinkling day by day.
Why...... Lin Yi knew it after looking at the schedule.
In the next game, the Knicks will face the San Antonio Spurs on their home court.
