Chapter 0109 Lin Yi's little note
On October 31, the New York Knicks flew non-stop to Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats, who are not yet Hornets.
The flying game was a test of fitness, and the first big win gave the Knicks players a lot of time to rest, and D'Antoni will not stubbornly play the main force when the team's victory is assured.
In 2010, the Bobcats officially entered the "Jordan era".
Lin Yi remembers that in 2010, the NBA league board of directors officially approved Michael Jordan's $275 million deal to buy the Bobcats.
The current Bobcats are a team on the fringes of the playoffs, and "Elvis" Gerard Wallace is the leader of this team.
Gerard Wallace is a strong athletic wing defender, the only drawback is the average three-point shooting ability, but this season Gerard Wallace's three-point shooting rate has improved a lot, Lin Yi remembers that this is Gerard Wallace's most accurate three-point season, hitting an average of 0.8 goals per game, and the shooting rate can be 37.1%.
The Bobcats got Stephen Jackson in the summer, and Captain Jack proved to be much better than dunk king Richardson, and if he didn't waste his shots, Stephen Jackson was definitely an All-Star.
Also on this team are Rajabel and Tyson Chandler.
After seeing the Bobcats' roster, Lin Yi knew that this game would be a fierce battle, because the Knicks' schedule was a bit of a pain......
After this away game, they will fly back to New York to play the first home game of the new season, this back-to-back, the league arrangement is too insidious!
……
Lin Yi knows that this Bobcats team is much more difficult to deal with than the Heat team, and in Lin Yi's memory, this Bobcats team also made the playoffs, and this Bobcats team has one of the few players who can defend Lin Yi at the current level in the center position.
That's Tyson Chandler.
Tyson Chandler moves well laterally, and Lin Yi remembers that the Mavericks can really limit the Heat Big Three in the future Finals and Tyson Chandler has a lot to do with it.
At his peak, Tyson Chandler had a wide defensive area, could prevent blocking and dismantling, could assist in defending the restricted area, and could also defend the guard alone, which made the Heat triumvirate bitter in the finals.
What's even more amazing is that after joining New York in Lin Yi's memory, this gentleman brought a bunch of outside tumors to make New York's defense rank among the top in the NBA.
This is an underrated defensive player, and Lin Yi is ready to advise management that Tyson Chandler must be poached by the team when his contract expires.
Before Lin Yi's level was fully raised, Tyson Chandler was a big threat to Lin Yi.
The main thing is to be able to keep up with Lin Yi, Tyson Chandler's defensive level is not only in terms of position selection and athleticism, he also knows how to use the rules to interfere with offensive players.
Even those top guards in the NBA can't play Chandler in a small fight, after all, not every Chandler in the NBA is called Parsons.
In addition, Gerard Wallace and Ragabel are both outside players with excellent defensive ability, and it will be difficult for New York to get easy shots from the outside in this game.
Stephen Jackson, the Bobcats' leading scorer, is also a jerking player, and once the jerking gets kicked, no one can stop him.
What kind of face-sealing interference will not work for this kind of dry-drawn player who relies purely on the feel.
If it worked, Jalen Rose wouldn't have knelt for Kobe.
Of course, this type of player also has a common problem, and that is that they often become undercover agents for opponents as well.
Before the game, Lin Yi and coach D'Antoni had dinner together, and the two had a good conversation, but no one knew what the two talked about......
……
Bobcats are indeed not easy to fight.
This head-to-head confrontation with Tyson Chandler confirmed Lin Yi's conjecture in his heart, coupled with the pre-match plan with Deshuai, Lin Yi deliberately increased his off-ball offense this time.
Bobcats coach Larry Brown is a diehard, but he has his own unique knack for building a defensive system.
In order to prevent the Knicks' interior from blocking and dismantling the inside, he raised the athletic Gerard Wallace to the No. 4 position, so that Lin Yi could only block and dismantle with the small guard, Lin Yi could still score by relying on misalignment, but unfortunately his teammates were inaccurate in this game.
To put it bluntly, these people on the outside line of New York are all looking to the sky to eat!
If you feel good, you can play the heat in three sections, and if you don't feel good, it is purely in the help board.
Tyson Chandler also happens to be a master at protecting backcourt rebounds.
The best player played by the New York Knicks in this game is David Lee, this handsome guy has his own set of experience playing this kind of team, if it weren't for David Lee scoring 28 points and 14 rebounds in this game, the real New York Irons Knicks would really suffer a big defeat.
Zhen David never dunks and saves stamina Lee used his efficient play to keep the suspense of the game until the last moment.
Unfortunately, the New York Knicks still lost the iron game.
In the second game of the new season, the Knicks lost 89-97 to the Charlotte Bobcats on the road.
"Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari shot 4 of 15 from the field, 1 of 4 from three-point range, and barely got 12 points and 4 rebounds by relying on 3 of 4 free throws.
Al Harrington was in no form, shooting 2-of-11 from the field and 0-of-5 from three-point range to finish with just four points and seven rebounds.
Lin Yi was as stable as ever, he used the ball to use the misalignment to make a jump shot or an empty cut without the ball to play very highly, Lin Yi shot 7 of 13 in the whole game, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and got 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
Lin Yi made up his mind that he must find a way to get Tyson Chandler in the management next season.
With Tyson Chandler and himself guarding the penalty area, Lin Yi was not afraid of that kind of breakthrough team at all after he got up in the ranks.
In addition, Lin Yi plans to dismantle the strong teams in his memory, so that he can find a way to impact the championship even if he doesn't hold a group.
After this game, Knicks fans were not as blindly optimistic as before, you must know that some optimistic Knicks fans even shouted the Knicks championship slogan after the team defeated the Heat.
It's much harder to live up to that slogan than the Lakers championship.
Public opinion generally believes that the Knicks have indeed become stronger, but they are not very stable, especially the shortcomings of the Knicks are obvious, they lack players who can block and dismantle with Lin Yi in the No. 1 position, and the bench strength is weak.
ESPN said that Lin Yi is more suitable to partner with a point guard with super breakthrough ability, and his and Stephen Curry's success in college is no accident.
Don't say it, the Knicks really moved Stephen Curry's thoughts, but the old Nelson directly pointed to the nose of the Warriors uniform group and said, unless I go into the coffin, no one wants to trade Stephen Curry.
The Warriors' uniform team was helpless, and no one could refute what Nelson Sr. decided.
Lin Yi knows very well that as long as Stephen Curry goes to the Warriors, it will be difficult to trade him, and the old Nelson will not agree to be one of them, and New York has no chips to impress the Warriors except for himself.
In addition, the time is not far from the time when the LOGO man joins the Warriors.
As soon as the LOGO boy arrives in Oakland, the elementary school student will be a real non-sale on the Warriors' shelves.
If you can't beat Curry's mind, the Knicks management will be in trouble.
How can this be strengthened?
Boss Dolan also meant to let them find a way to reinforce, but this really can't be reinforced!
Who will trade their super-guard to New York?
At this time, aren't the league's really top point guards at the top of the league Paul and Deron Williams?
The guard era hasn't even begun, and most defenders in the league are on the middle-of-the-road.
At this time, Lin Yi quietly handed a small list to Javier Stanford, and prepared to meet the team's deputy general manager after returning to New York.
Lin Yi learned from Javier Stanford that owner Dolan had said to Knicks management: "As long as Lin Yi makes a request, try to fulfill it for him." ”
With this commitment from Knicks owner Dolan, how could Lin Yi miss the opportunity to interfere with Knicks management?
