Before the Knicks and Mavericks game, many people were not optimistic that the "weak" Nowitzki could lead the Mavericks to block the iron-blooded Knicks led by the brutal Lin Yi.

However, once again, the game took people by surprise.

The Mavericks halted the Knicks' winning streak at home, 97-108, and the Knicks suffered their first loss in 35 days.

This loss came in time, after the game, Comrade D'Antoni made an important speech in the locker room on the battle of Dallas, first of all, Lao De analyzed the reasons for the Knicks' loss from the objective reasons, such as long-distance flights, the devil's schedule, and secondly, on the long road of the Knicks' counterattack revolution, Lao De pointed out that the Knicks should calm down and regard themselves as a challenger, not a high-ranking person.

In the end, Lao De believes that losing at this time is a good thing, especially the Mavericks and other strong teams in the West, which must attract the attention of the Knicks, and the Knicks' opponents this season are not only the Heat, Bulls, and Celtics.

"The NBA season is always so long, and we need more than just a championship heart to be at the top of the game." D'Antoni has rarely been in the dressing room this season, but this summary was crucial.

In this game with the Mavericks, the Knicks exposed a lot of problems that did not appear when they won before, and in addition, the Mavericks' terrible bench lineup made the Knicks understand that the East was really comfortable......

Ellis played as the Mavericks' sixth man in this game, scoring a Mavericks-high 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting in 28 minutes of playing time, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

Nowitzki was as consistent as ever, scoring 19 points and eight rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

The Mavericks' bench scored a total of 67 points in this game, far more than the Knicks' 35 points off the bench, inspired by last season, and D'Antoni found that if he played one game, the Knicks really struggled if he played seven games against the Mavericks......

Because there are also a lot of people playing with the Mavericks!

In case the Knicks are the first to be dragged to death in a series of games, it won't be fun.

In an interview after the game, Mavericks coach Carlisle finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying that the Knicks are indeed the favorites for the championship, but the Mavericks are not vegetarians, "We will try to win every opponent, we have a lot of veterans on the team, they are full of hunger to win." ”

The reporters were very curious about what Lin Yi's mentality would be after losing, so they relayed Carlisle's words to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi asked the reporter after listening, "Have you ever seen a calf eating meat?" ”

The reporters never expected that Lin Yi actually played the meme of the Maverick's Chinese team name, and it is said that Maverick owner Cuban already had the idea of changing his name after reading the post-game report.

In fact, Lin Yi has long wanted to complain, if the name of the Maverick Chinese team is changed to Lone Ranger in the future, then will it have to be? How kind the Mavericks are, the Mavericks are really ...... Thinking about it carefully, I'm terrified, is Kuban a Kohei?

The reporters found that Lin Yi's mentality was very relaxed, and some trouble-provoking media asked Lin Yi if he didn't take the game to heart, and Lin Yi directly asked: "We are all adults, why do you always put unhappy things on your face to make others happy because of your unhappiness?" ”

You have a point, I can't argue with it!

The reporters really wanted Lin Yi to plant the flag...... But Lin Yi didn't give them a chance!

……

Losing to the Maverick away, there is a reason why Lin Yi is relaxed, the Maverick is indeed very strong, but in addition to confirming the strength of the Maverick in this encounter, Lin Yi also confirmed that the Maverick did not restrain his natural enemies!

"The next time we fight, it's hard to say!" Lin Yi: This is really not inflated.

Because there is no such thing as a game, there is no such thing as 100%, the Mavericks are very strong, but they are not unsolvable.

Lin Yi knew that he was the wall-breaker of the calf's problem, "So in other words, we still have to upgrade!" ”

On the evening of the 8th, the Knicks flew back to New York overnight, and the last opponent of their wave of devils' schedule, the Los Angeles Lakers, arrived a few hours earlier than them.

It's a really tough home game, with the visitors coming before you......

No way, the Lakers' schedule is easier than the Knicks, and the Knicks' schedule this season can be said to be sweet and then bitter, mainly because Stern is worried that the Knicks will not get off to a good start, but it turns out that the president's worries are unnecessary.

After returning to New York, Lin Yi did not go home as soon as possible, but grabbed the fat man and went to have a meal with Kobe.

O'Neill was very reluctant, but Lin Yi felt that this fat man was definitely deliberate, otherwise how could he pull him up to 300 pounds?

OK The friendship between the two is very complicated, you say they really tear their faces and don't get along?

No, the two often joked with each other after retiring.

You say they're superficial brothers? Then O'Neal really didn't need to say a word to Kobe: man, score 50 points in the final battle, you know, in the end, Kobe Bryant overfulfilled the task.

In a luxury restaurant in New York, Kobe, who was dressed in a suit and sunglasses, opened up when he saw O'Neal, "Shaq, I heard that you haven't missed a single training session in the new season?" ”

O'Neal snorted coldly after sitting down, "Kobe, you hurry up and surpass Havlicek, otherwise how can you prove your dominance?" ”

Lin Yi on the side spread his hands helplessly, Kobe's state has begun to decline this season, Lin Yi knows that many of Kobe's injuries are accumulated, so when eating, Lin Yi persuaded Kobe to give up some unnecessary games.

"Mamba won't run away." Bryant replied.

O'Neal couldn't help but snicker, thinking to himself that if you can persuade Kobe, is it still Kobe?

Lin Yi was quite helpless, because he remembered that in the 10/11 playoffs, the Lakers had a good chance to kill the Mavericks, don't look at the Mavericks who swept the Lakers 4-0 in the end, but in fact, every game was thrilling.

Without Tyson Chandler, the rim protector, the Lakers really have a chance to help the Knicks take out the Mavericks.

Well...... In terms of lineup and strength composition, if the Lakers can be beaten in the finals, Lin Yi feels that the chance of winning the championship can be increased by at least 30%.

Even if the Lakers don't kill the Mavericks in the end, it's okay, and if the Lakers can play a few more games, it's a good thing for the Knicks.

It's a pity that Lin Yi's persuasion was ineffective, Kobe Bryant's head iron and low EQ are notoriously, but fortunately, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are talking about each other, and Lin Yi also heard a lot of interesting stories about the Lakers' locker room on the side.

For example, O'Neal complained that Kobe Bryant wanted to prove himself as soon as he met Ray Allen, regardless of his teammates, and was inefficient.

Bryant complained that O'Neal would always run out for some reason the night before a game and then come back exhausted the next day.

The two quarreled and quarreled, and then they quarreled with the famous "Shaq is also done!" Lin Yi confirmed, these two people are just angry, after all, how can the revolutionary friendship that has carried a gun together be dispersed?

"You should have read for a few more years, really." O'Neill scoffed.

"Having a ring has nothing to do with reading." Kobe Bryant held up five fingers, meaning he had five championships.

Finally, O'Neill came up with a trick.

"My son plays basketball well." O'Neill said.

Bryant: "......"

Lin Yi could feel that the atmosphere dropped to freezing point all of a sudden, and I have to say that O'Neill's move was very lethal.

Kobe Bryant stopped arguing with O'Neal and chatted with Lin Yi instead.

O'Neill kept sneering, Lin Yi could notice that Kobe's teeth were gurgling, if he hadn't been able to beat this fat man, Kobe Bryant would have punched him a long time ago.

After the meal, Kobe refused Lin Yi to send him back to the hotel, and called a car to leave by himself.

O'Neal looked at the back of Kobe Bryant's departure, "Get ready, Lin, he'll attack like crazy tomorrow." ”

Lin Yi glanced at O'Neal, "Kobe Bryant isn't so stingy, right?" ”

O'Neill sneered, "You're just a fan of him, and I've been teammates with him for so many years, can you have me know him?" ”

Lin Yi felt that the one who knew Kobe best really had to be this fat man.

Pisces O'Neill is very delicate, and Bryant, who was born at the junction of Leo and Virgo...... Leo is boyish and domineering, and Virgo's stinginess and perfectionism really confirm his character.

So including Lin Yi and Kobe Bryant, sometimes Lin Yi will feel that Kobe is a very generous person, just like when Kobe invited himself to invest together, but sometimes Kobe will do something unbelievable to you...... Of course, if Kobe Bryant didn't have this paranoia, you would think that this little blacksmith was not cute at all.

Well, the above is an excerpt from "NBA Astrology: The Everyday Black Virgin".

……

For the Knicks, the game against the Lakers was seen by the whole team as the last torture before liberation.

After this game, the Knicks will usher in a four-day offseason, and they don't feel that they don't lose to the Mavericks, but after losing to the Mavericks, everyone realizes that it is the motivation to win that has been supporting them.

At Madison Square Garden, the sleepy-eyed Lin Yi found the atmosphere on the Lakers' side very strange when he was warming up.

Dignified?

It's serious anyway.

"I told you, Kobe Bryant is stingy." O'Neill patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

Lin Yi yawned, "You're right, Shaq!" ”

Knicks coach D'Antoni had a sad face, Lao De didn't sleep well last night, and even against the Mavericks and Lakers, Lao De had scolded the person who scheduled the game a hundred times in his heart.

The fans at Madison Square Garden were still in high spirits, with Barkley complaining before the game: "The Knicks' home atmosphere this season is horrible. ”

Kenny Smith laughed: "Maybe the New York fans have been holding back for too long, right?" ”

Getting back to business, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson lined up Gasol, Odom, Artay, Kobe, and Fisher as starters tonight.

As long as he faces the Knicks, Big Phil resolutely does not use Bynum, and this time he goes to New York, the "Little Shark" will sit at home and watch the game.

On the Knicks' side, Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, and Billups are on the Knicks' side.

In the future, Kobe Bryant gave Tony Allen sneakers, but today Mr. Tony was also a little stunned, because Kobe kept staring at him with straight eyes.

Lin Yi also noticed that when he was about to jump the ball, Atai on the side was moving his elbow joint......

The game is on the verge of breaking out.

As for who wins and who loses?

Elbow and see, of course!
