It's no exaggeration to say that Billups was the creator of the famous 58 Minute Night.

On that night, which broke the heart of "My Cannon", Billups scored 17 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds, and his stats looked mediocre, but that night, Paul felt the pressure brought to him by the unattractive man in front of him.

Paul only had 4 points and 6 assists that night, shooting just 28.6 percent from the field, and in that series with the Nuggets, Paul averaged 16.6 points, 10.4 assists per game, and 4.8 turnovers per game, shooting 41.1 percent from the field and 31.3 percent from three-point range.

Billups, who was opposite him, averaged 22.6 points and 7.4 assists per game in that series, shooting 48.3 percent from the field, 65.5 percent from three-point range, and only 1.2 turnovers per game.

Billups is a guard who is very good at taking advantage of his own conditions and strengths, and Paul is another extreme of "civilian height", with strong defense and excellent strength.

In tonight's game with the Hornets, Lin Yi finally knew how Billups educated Paul, Billups is very good at using his height to interfere with Paul, forcing Paul to only break through, and once Paul enters the Knicks' restricted area, what awaits him is the Knicks' inner "forest combination".

Billups knows where his advantages are, he won't show off his skills in the face of Paul, he will focus on stability, and on the defensive end, he won't let Paul score easily, of course, all this is very simple to say, but you must know that Billups is against Chris Paul!

Now Paul has not found his true love, Lao De, who has changed his style of play in the future, is now obsessed with training Lin Yi, and Harden, who will form a "light bulb" combination with him in the future, is still repairing water pipes in the sewers of the Thunder.

The Hornets trailed the Knicks by 8 points in the first quarter, this Hornets three-point ability is average, the offense is dominated by Paul and West's blocking, West's peak has a shooting rate of about 50%, but apart from him, the Hornets have no other offensive points.

The efficient Ariza gave Lin Yi six backcourt rebounds in this game...... The Hornets hit the Knicks with their heads?

At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul did not stop, but Livingston caught me with a back-to-back single, and Paul became more and more uncomfortable, he knew that this Hornets might be able to make the playoffs, but it would not go far.

In the third quarter, Paul was still trying to chase points, and several singles had already made Lin Yi vaguely see the shadow of St. Paul, who touched the floor of the West Final for the first time in the future, Paul is such a persistent person, the stronger the opponent, the more he will not admit defeat.

However, the Hornets' shortcomings were too big, and the Knicks widened the point difference, and in the fourth quarter, Paul knew that he was powerless, and the expression of loss was uncomfortable even for Lin Yi to see.

"Congratulations...... Hopefully you can go further and further in the playoffs. After the game, Paul said to Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart.

Will setbacks, injuries bring down Paul?

Of course not, Lin Yi knew that the little man in front of him also had great energy, and a ruthless man like Paul, even if time returned to zero, he would not admit defeat.

Lin Yi touched Paul's head, this is the NBA, if you want to survive, you must defeat the group of geniuses around you, and if you want to stand at the top, you must experience setbacks, failures, and then get up again and climb towards the peak.

Paul played 38 minutes in this game, 11-of-21, including 3-of-7 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws, and finished with 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists.

If it weren't for Ariza's terrifying 1-of-11, Paul wouldn't have gotten a big double-double tonight.

Lin Yi played 33 minutes, 10-of-19, including 4-of-8 three-pointers and 6-of-6 free throws, and got a big double-double of 30 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists.

If the opponent can have an "Ariza" every night, Lin Yi is very confident to be the rebounding king this season.

……

Defeating the Hornets, the Knicks flew back to the East, and their next opponent will be the Bobcats.

Milicic's fate has also changed, this "parallel trade eye" under the influence of Lin Yi, hard to lose weight, run, practice shooting, in order to catch up with the once highly expected self, the player born in the war can average 11.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks per game in the new season, so that the Bobcats feel that they have picked up a treasure.

The Bobcats fired Larry Brown at the end of last season, otherwise Milicic would likely have been suspended for assaulting the head coach.

The deviation of the historical trajectory has changed the fate of too many people, but Lin Yi believes that no team in the league will hire Larry Brown to coach.

In Charlotte, Milicic invited Lin Yi to his house for dinner, and he also cooked himself, I have to say that this handsome Serbian guy is quite good at cooking.

Milicic's sister Yuna is a tall beauty, and she is also full of affection for Lin Yi, you know, her brother has been wearing the shameful nickname of "Human Victory Cigar" since he entered the NBA, Yuna hates Larry Brown, especially Lin Yi's success, which makes Yuna feel that if it wasn't for Larry Brown's delay, her brother would at least not be so miserable.

Lin Yi knew that in his previous life, Milicic was the only one who gained respect in Minnesota, after all, Minnesota is the origin of fighting and retreating, and coincidentally, Milicic's idol is Garnett.

Milicic isn't as bad as people think, and he's actually a lot tougher than some of the black guys in his limited playing time.

The more Milicic's sister Yuna chatted with Lin Yi, the more she felt that Lin Yi knew everything, and the two talked about everything from basketball to pop music, anime, and movies.

This year's 20-year-old Yuna is 188 cm tall and has an outstanding appearance, and there is a reason why Milicic is so good-looking.

"Darko, I don't think it's time for you to give up on yourself, you're only 25 years old, you're playing the right way now, as long as you believe in yourself, you can play in the NBA." Lin Yi encouraged Milicic.

Milicic smiled and nodded, after the meal, he also gave a gift to Lin Yi, Milicic is a person with a heart, last year on Lin Yi's birthday, Milicic gave Lin Yi a newspaper silhouette sticker, and this year it is a model of Lin Yi carved by himself.

Lin Yi felt that Milicic was really a wonderful person, and he did such a good job of carpentry.

At Yuna's strong request, Lin Yi and Milicic also went to the basketball court in the backyard to play one-on-one for a while.

Milicic's basic skills are really good, and Yuna said with some grievances: "When my brother first entered the NBA, he dribbled much better than now. ”

Technology is like this, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Lin Yi said to Milicic: "Darko, you can't live in the shadow of your past self, you have to believe that your current self is stronger than in the past." ”

Although the ability to shoot and dribble has degraded, the muscles on Milicic's body are real, the NBA is a place where supermen gather, Milicic has no real skills, how can the Huskies give him a middle-class contract in the future?

"Lin, you are so strong, even if I didn't take the wrong path, I can't compare to you." Milicic's admiration for Lin Yi is heartfelt, this guy is simply a monster.

Last year in the Knicks, Milicic would not have been blown up so badly one-on-one, but now one-on-one, there is no way to prevent it.

Lin Yi patted Milicic on the shoulder, maybe this is fate!

"Try to run forward, Darko, and tell that guy named Larry Brown that you're not some human victory cigar, your name is Darko Milicic!"

Lin Yi's words made Milicic's body tremble, and after a long time, he clenched his fists.

Prove yourself!

Be sure to prove yourself!
