On Nov. 28, the New York Knicks welcomed their final opponent in a three-game Western Conference trip: the Denver Nuggets.

As the capital and largest city of Colorado, Denver is famous for its "altitude", and Denver is also a famous food capital.

Lin Yi likes to play away now the most, because he can eat and eat non-stop!

The nutritional value of the food in these high-end restaurants is no worse than the nutritious meal, although the food of the Nix is good, but it is the special meat, and if you eat too much meat, you will still get tired!

After yesterday's training session, Lin Yi took her teammates to Rioja Restaurant in Larimer Square for a meal on the grounds of celebrating her birthday, where the chef and owner is James_Beard award-winning chef Jennifer Jasinski, who has been named the best female chef in the United States.

The restaurant focuses on Mediterranean-inspired cuisine as well as local ingredients, with a focus on fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and grains.

The Knicks team members are full of praise for the dishes here, Lin Yi thought that when he got rich, he must open a restaurant regardless of whether he lost money or not, as a member of the "foodie country", Lin Yi really couldn't stand the "American Chinese food".

……

Known as the NBA's devil's home arena, Pepsi Center, home of the Nuggets, reaches an elevation of 1,606 meters, which is higher than the energy center of the Utah Jazz's home stadium.

Coupled with the crazy crowd of fans at the Nuggets' home court, the Nuggets have maintained a high home win rate in recent seasons.

Before the game started, Lin Yi asked Harrington, a veteran of the Knicks, and Harrington told Lin Yi that the impact of the plateau must be there, but the most terrifying thing about the Nuggets' home court is their atmosphere.

The Pepsi Center Arena, which can accommodate 20,010 people, gave Lin Yi a good look before the start of the game, and the Nuggets' home stadium was terrifying!

"Hey, Lin!" Before the game began, Carmelo Anthony, the star of the Nuggets, came over to greet Lin Yi.

The '08 Olympics made Anthony see the terrible enthusiasm of Chinese fans, so Anthony also wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Yi.

But I have to say that Anthony really has a three-point gangster atmosphere......

Back then, Anthony and James were known as the NBA version of the peerless duo, but unfortunately because of Anthony's gangster background, David Stern has always disliked him, after all, marijuana, gambling, prostitution, and I am proficient in society.

Lin Yi and Anthony hugged each other, and Anthony talked about Lin Yi's dribble break, "That's so cool, really, I watched a video of you shaking Anderson on the Internet, he was so unlucky." ”

At this time, Anthony was a real "melon", because he had a "melon planter" by his side, the eternally underestimated Chaunci Billups.

In last year's playoffs, the Nuggets who traded to Billups surprised people, first beating the Hornets by 58 points in the playoffs, and once again ruining Chris Paul's dream of a West showdown, while also equaling the largest single-game point difference in NBA playoff history.

Then in the second round, they played the ferocious Mavericks again, and in the Western Finals, they fought thrilling games with the Lakers in every game, and Anthony and Kobe Bryant staged a scoring battle in the Western Finals.

Lin Yi knows that the 08/09 season and the 09/10 season can be described as the highest period of Anthony's career.

Billups is an underrated super defender, with him in the backcourt, George Carr's defensive counter-attacking fast-break tactics are perfectly realized, it seems that Billups has divided Anthony's possession, but in fact, Billups can often make Anthony form a local one-on-one through his own ball control, running and guidance to his teammates.

At this time, "Melon" had not yet gained weight and fortune, and his athleticism was at its peak, and Billups carved out one single zone after another for him, and Anthony, who was not good at organizing himself, could give full play to his offensive talents.

And with George Karl's suppression, Anthony was also very desperate when he was eager to prove his defense, but unfortunately after George Karl was hospitalized, the fate of the Nuggets also ushered in a turn.

Tonight is the first time that the Knicks' Royal Salute has been online, and the Nuggets, a Western powerhouse, are definitely the best litmus test.

……

"Audience friends in front of the TV, good morning, I am the commentator Yang Jian, and today I will bring you the commentary with Su Junyang Su." After Yang Jian introduced today's commentators, countless Chinese Lin Mi expressed their disappointment, because everyone wanted to see Weiping Lin Yi is invincible and guide how to blow Lin Yi in a fancy way.

"What does Mr. Su think of today's game?" Yang Jian asked curiously.

"Today's game is actually very interesting, because what, the Knicks have just completed several trades, especially Louis Williams, which has been highly praised by the American media. Including Belinelli, who is actually a pitcher-type player that D'Antoni particularly likes. Su Junyang said.

"Okay, we can see that now the two sides have given the starting list, and the starters on the Knicks' side are Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and Tony Douglas."

"The starters on the Nuggets' side are Kenyon Martin, Nene, Little Melon Anthony, Avraro, Billups." Yang Jian introduced.

"Interesting, we can see that D'Antoni put all three new signings on the bench, which I didn't expect before, I thought D'Antoni would have Louis Williams in the starting line-up. Su Junyang said.

At the Pepsi Center in Denver, amid a terrifying wave of noise from the home fans, Lin Yi and Kenyon Martin walked to the center circle.

There was no suspense in the jump ball, and Lin Yi easily defeated Kenyon Martin, the top pick in the 2000 draft.

Kenyon Martin is an excellent defender of the penalty area, and his offense is mainly based on eating cakes, and later after playing in the CBA, the Xinjiang team found that Martin was not good at all, but this is related to Martin's style, and Lin Yike will not underestimate him.

You know, this Nuggets ushered in their real spring precisely after sending away Marcus Camby, if you just look at the data, Camby can explode many people, but in fact, Camby is a big brush who often loses his position in order to brush the block.

In order to save physical energy, Lin Yi's defense is not active, and he can also have 2.3 blocks per game, to put it bluntly, his height and arm span are there, as long as he bets 80% is a big hat.

Nene's defense is also not good, but after using Nene and Kenyon Martin to partner inside, the Nuggets' defense is much better, so you can imagine how watery Camby is......

……

After the jump ball, the Knicks' first offense, Douglas held the ball, Lin Yi made a wall for his teammates on the wing, Gallinari slipped out of a three-point shot and didn't score, and the Nuggets grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Billups passed the half court unhurriedly, he drew his teammates to the side through his running and command, and quickly played the ball, Carmelo Anthony faced Gallinari, a probe to catch the dribble and go to the left hand, Gallinari moved sideways to follow, Anthony was caught off guard is a cold arrow!

The Nuggets opened with a 2-0 lead!

It's so sophisticated!

Billups' biggest characteristic is that he is not fancy, last season's playoffs, Paul was taught to be a good man when he faced Billups, Billups' career average of assists per game was only 8.6, and Nash and Paul often double-doubled assisters are not comparable, but in fact, Billups' organizational ability is not weaker than those two.

Billups is good both offensively and defensively, and in the attack, he does not aim to pass the ball to form an assist, but to put his teammates in a comfortable offensive rhythm through passing, and Anthony benefits a lot, and Billups can always form a good single environment for him by passing.

Conley of the future Grizzlies is very similar to Billups, Conley plays a lot of super guards without losing, people always think that Conley got a premium contract, but in fact, the Grizzlies can't play at all without him, compared to Parsons, Conley is too cheap.

The Knicks' second offense continued to hit the iron, and in turn, it was Billups who created a single opportunity for Anthony through a transmission, Anthony leaned on Gallinari with his back, squeezed, turned, turned over and jumped, Anthony's shot was fast, Gallinari couldn't block it, and the "melon" hit again, and scored 4 points in the opening game to take the lead.

4 to 0!

The melon of 09 is really sweet!

……

The Knicks' third offense after the opening was finally completed, Lin Yi broke into the interior and assisted David Lee to score under the basket, Nene was strong in attack and weak in defense, don't look at him fiercely, in fact, the defense is not good at all.

However, Lin Yi still respects Nene very much, because in the future, even if he fights alone, Nene can get a good contract in the NBA.

The Nuggets' defensive system is good, it seems to be a man-to-man, but it is actually a pseudo-joint defense, George Karl knows that Lin Yi can break through, so he plans to use the pseudo-joint defense to limit Lin Yi's breakthrough points.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry, he played six minutes in the first quarter and went off the court to rest, not scoring a point, only 3 assists and 3 rebounds.

Nuggets fans at Pepsi Center were happy, scoring 61 points in the third quarter, what about beating the Lakers? When it comes to our devil's home field, even if you are a dragon, you have to lie down!

"Lin Yi is in a very average state today! It didn't feel like he was very excited. Su Junyang said.

It's a pity that Lin Yi can't hear CCTV's commentary, otherwise he would definitely laugh.

PS: Sixth Shift!!
