On the 22nd, the calf who hid the horns was stewed by the Knicks at home.

Knicks owner James Dolan said before the start of this game that if the Knicks can score more than 100 points at home and win, then every Knicks fan watching the game can receive a bowl of fragrant "braised beef noodles" after the game.

At first, the owner of the calf Kuban didn't know what this meant, and he specifically asked someone to ask, but after learning that it was originally the pot with the name of the Chinese team, Kuban decided that he must change the Chinese team name of the calf as soon as possible.

Because the name Maverick is too LO in the eyes of Cuban, it is completely inconsistent with the meaning of the English team name of Maverick.

In fact, Lin Yi really wanted to tell Cuban a cruel truth, that is, the Lone Ranger is really more LO than the Maverick.

In the end, the score of this game was 97-118, the Mavericks had no intention of fighting, and the Knicks also finished the third quarter, and the two teams paddled together tacitly, just holding hands and singing "Let's swing the double pulp".

Stern, who watched the game on TV for a while, was very angry, because the "Ni Niu War" was originally a game of the century specially arranged by the league before the All-Star Weekend, but the Mavericks turned out to be good enough to play the rotation break?

You know, it's not so easy to take turns in the NBA, because for the NBA, which pays attention to the viewing effect of fans, once the stars don't play in this kind of key battle, it will cause fans to have a feeling that the tickets were bought for nothing.

So after this game, the Mavericks successfully received a $250,000 fine, and the league hopes to use this wave of killing cattle to set an example and tell those teams who want to take a turn to rest: Take a turn to rest the peat, get up!

The Mavericks didn't say anything here, after all, everyone knows the rules of the NBA, and Cuban is not short of these two money, Mavericks coach Carlisle knows very well that if the Mavericks don't insist on rotating rest, these veterans don't have to wait until the playoffs to fall apart on their own.

In the NBA, Spurs coach Vicky has not been fined because of the rotation, but it has been proved that it is thanks to Vicky's rotation that Duncan, Ginobili and others have maintained their state season after season.

Reducing the playing time of key players and giving stars a game or two off is a trend in the NBA, and many players will benefit from it in the future, and their form can be maintained for many seasons in a row.

Of course, in the future, many celebrities will use this to say that the NBA will become more and more "sissy", but in fact, many of these "iron-clad" celebrities have suffered serious injuries and their careers have fallen off a cliff.

There are a lot of ironmen in the NBA, but there are even more stars who have been ruined.

However, because of the rules of the NBA, the main strategy adopted by most teams in the future is rotation: that is, to get more players on the court and share the playing time of key players.

……

After defeating the Mavericks, on the 23rd, the Knicks lost to the Heat 97-109 in back-to-back away games, and failed to score more than 100 points for the first time in the new season. There were 16 fewer games in the shortened season, but the remaining 66 games were all concentrated and compressed into 4 months, and Lin Yi played back-to-back games this season and almost vomited.

After all, the reality is not a game, physical fitness, injury limitations, lack of sleep during flying competitions, player mentality, physical condition and other factors can affect the final result of a game.

The Knicks' group of players have ended the excitement of the winning streak, and everyone has nothing to do with the record in the shrinking season, plus the recent rookies have hit the wall one after another, and the Knicks, who mainly practice soldiers, will not pay much attention to the temporary gains and losses of the regular season.

It's a pity that James didn't know what Lin Yi and D'Antoni thought after winning at home, otherwise the "little emperor" would definitely have an urge to take turns with Lin Yi and Lao De in the boxing ring, we worked hard to catch up with you, but you said that your current record of 31 wins and 2 losses was played by training?

JAMS: Orz

You know, even if the Heat counterattacks the Knicks, the Knicks are still 6 wins ahead of them......

James suddenly felt that sometimes winning is also a very heart-wrenching thing!

At this point, the first half of the 11/12 NBA season officially came to an end, and halfway through the season, Lin Yi still occupies the top position in the MVP rankings, while James, Durant, Wade, and Paul are second to fifth.

Many James are not satisfied with this result, because they think that since the new season, except for the 86-point game, Lin Yi's performance in other key moments has been quite average, and some James also cited ESPN's high-end data, they said that James's score in the fourth quarter was completely out of Lin Yi.

In this regard, Lin Mi also shot back, "There is no way, I Lin is also desperate, I can't play in the fourth quarter, how can this be good?" ”

Jamie: "......"

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

……

On the 24th, Lin Yi flew to Orlando with the Knicks sightseeing group to participate in All-Star Weekend.

Clay, Big Morris, and Motel are all going to participate in the Rookie Challenge, these three are very nervous on the plane, Clay is a little calmer, but after all, they are also newcomers, they keep asking Lin Yi this and that on the plane, as if Lin Yi is the tour guide of the Orlando All-Star Weekend......

Speaking of which, this year's rookie game has also changed the rules, a total of 20 players in the first and second grades will be divided into "Shaq" and "Charles" teams through the "draft", yes, O'Neal and Barkley, the two TNT TV commentary partners, will face off at this year's rookie game.

O'Neal sent a text message to Lin Yi early, asking Lin Yi if he had any secret to winning, Lin Yi remembered that the O'Neal team lost to the Barkley team in this rookie game, because O'Neal had a big problem with selecting people at that time, and this fat man actually let Wall and Owen not choose, but chose Jeremy Lin first, which really made Lin Yi unable to understand.

Lin Yi plans to help this fat man, because I heard that O'Neal usually praises himself on TNT TV, although Lin Yi doesn't care too much about other people's opinions, but he can make a great star like O'Neal blow himself every day, Lin Yi feels very comfortable.

"Shaq, I suggest you choose John first, Clay second, and then ......," Lin Yi said to O'Neill on the phone after arriving in Orlando.

O'Neill was stunned when he heard this, "Shouldn't Blake (Griffin) be chosen first?" ”

"Blake is going to play in the All-Star Game and is a Western Army starter, do you think he will play seriously in the rookie game?" Lin Yi felt that O'Neal really didn't have the talent to be a coach, at least in terms of personnel selection and tactics, Barkley really blew him up.

"But according to your choice, I don't have an inside player on this team!" O'Neill said.

"What do you want? John propulsion speed said second, who would dare to say first? Kelly and Jeremy (Jeremy Lin) are very average in their organizational skills, you let Wall run, and then let Klay and the others keep shooting. Lin Yi said.

O'Neill hesitated for a while, and finally decided to listen to Lin Yi, after all, in terms of tactics, O'Neill felt that Lin Yi had something.

And this rookie matchup with Barkley is O'Neal's 'revenge battle'.

The Sharks vowed that he would hammer Barkley in this rookie game to make it clear that he O'Neal was usually just letting Barkley in the commentary.

"Hey! It's finally time to enjoy an All-Star Game! ”

Unlike the previous two times to participate in the All-Star Weekend, Lin Yi purely came to play this time, he did not sign up for all the individual competitions, Lin Yi planned to buy a bucket of popcorn this time, sit on the sidelines and be a spectator with peace of mind.

Paul was in a good mood because this was Paul's first All-Star start for the Eastern Conference, and after arriving in Orlando, I asked with concern, "Lin, are you sure you don't brush the stats at the All-Star Game?" ”

Lin Yi: "??? ”

Chris, when did I become a brush in your mind?

However, Lin Yi seemed to be aware of a problem...... This year's Eastern Conference All-Stars, it seems like the ball is in their own hands?

Then here's the problem!

Three-time All-Star Game MVP, do you want to try it?
