For Lin Fei to officially join the New York Knicks, fans around the world felt extremely touched, some were happy, some were shocked, some were looking forward to it, and some were looking down.

"Phineas actually joined the Knicks? And the team is basically the same as last season's old squad? No wonder you have to be favored and want to carry Marbury to the playoffs? It's really hard! ”

"Eddie Curry, a little fat man, is also a pure grinder, just mixed with a big contract with the Knicks, his average points per game immediately shrank from 16 points to 13.2 points, and his weight has also risen to 330 pounds!"

"O'Neill is old and has poor weight management, and this little shark is 23 years old and has entered the pension mode in advance!"

"I heard that this guy eats at least 5 burgers a day and drinks three liters of Coke? Nima, what a squander with talent! ”

"Jamal Crawford on the bench is also a pit, although he averages 15 points per game, but the shooting rate is just over 41%, he often dominates the ball on the bench, and his defense is not active, he is completely a copy of the lone wolf Marbury!"

"Why do you have to go to the Knicks? Is it because New York is the largest international metropolis? Isn't it cool to go to the Sun and join hands with Lao Wei and directly win his fourth crown? ”

"Stephen Marbury is now recognized as the No. 1 cancer in the NBA, and if the Knicks management doesn't buy him out or trade him out, I feel that even Lin Fei will be difficult to bring the team to the playoffs!"

"Let's see what the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant last season? The Lakers still have an Odom, and the Knicks are a bunch of garbage! Not to mention the bizarre management and bosses! ”

"It is the right choice to go to the Nets to join Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, New Jersey is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from New York, and Lin can live in New York!"

Although most fans question Lin Fei's choice to join the Knicks, believing that the Knicks have been plagued by James Dolan and the team's management,

If you don't fundamentally rebuild, let alone Lin Fei, even if the peak Jordan comes, it will be impossible to put the team on the right track.

But there are still many fans who are optimistic about Lin Fei joining the Knicks, thinking that for Lin Fei, who has been teaming up with superstars to win three championships in the first three years of his career,

Going to the Knicks, who are at the bottom of the record, is just a test and experience of personal ability to lead the team.

"I feel that the current lineup of the Knicks is good, and the reason why they have been playing poorly in the past few seasons is because of bad factors in all aspects!"

"No matter how toxic Marbury is, he is also the league's first-class point guard who can stand side by side with Iverson, and Eddie Curry is the best one in the 2001 high school four!"

"And David Lee and Channing Frye, I feel like they still have a lot of room for improvement in the future!"

"The biggest problem for the Knicks now is the management and head coach, last season's Larry Brown was purely here to cheat money, which made the Knicks, who were already at the bottom of the league, even worse!"

"Fei Ge has won three championships in three years, and there are not many black fans who question him and the superstar? Now that I have come to the Knicks to be the absolute core leader, I still have a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, if I can lead the team to fight a bloody road in the east, this is the best place! ”

"I heard that the reason why Lin Fei joined the Knicks is because James Dolan gave Lin Fei the right to participate in the management trade signing, and the Knicks should make some positive transactions around Lin Fei in the future to improve the overall competitiveness of the team!"

"I don't know how the Knicks are playing in the new season, but Flying Brother's personal data in the new season is absolutely explosive, so it's not too much to book a scoring champion in advance, right?"

"As long as Feige can maintain an average of about 20 shots per game in the Knicks in the new season, it will be absolutely easy to average 36+ points per game!"

"When you go to the Suns to win the championship, some people will still say that Lin Fei is in the group, after all, the Suns are already the first echelon in the West, if the Knicks can also lead the team to the playoffs, or even make a difference in the playoffs, then it is a real superstar!"

"New York will never lack local tyrant fans and traffic, even if the Knicks don't have a championship in the next few years, Lin Fei's value and influence will definitely continue to soar!"

"Follow Phineas, be optimistic about the Knicks, from now on, I will be a diehard Nix!"

With Lin Fei officially joining the New York Knicks, there was a ripple effect in the free trade market at the end of the offseason.

The Phoenix Suns, who failed to get Lin Fei in the end, were disheartened and lost the opportunity to upgrade the guard line, but the overall strength of the team was still strong.

General manager Steve Cole quickly executed the second plan, and on the basis of maintaining the main lineup,

Signed a four-year, $37 million contract with last season's most improved player, Boris Dior, in advance to retain people's hearts.

The Miami Heat, in the case of losing Lin Fei, retained the core team of Wade, O'Neal, Rough, Battier and Jason Williams.

At the same time, it also aims to develop Monta Alice, who will perform well in this year's Finals, sign small forward Jason Carbono with a base salary, and Gary Payton, a veteran of the All-Star team.

At the same time that Lin Fei officially joined the New York Knicks, Qin Dongmei, as an agent, also became a trading consultant to the Knicks' management part-time.

This is naturally to more conveniently convey some of Lin Fei's suggestions to the management.

Although James Dolan was rampant, he also dared to speak and act, giving Lin Fei some real power in management.

James Dolan was overjoyed that Lin Fei joined the Knicks, threatening to officially sell the team if the Knicks did not win the championship in the next three years.

Fans in New York heard about James Dolan's promise, and they applauded, did the rich second generation they hated finally let go of the Knicks?

If Lin Fei really led the Knicks to a championship in three years, would New York fans still care who the team's owner is?

Just a week before the start of the 06-07 season opener,

James Dolan once again made a big move at the team's press conference, and will invest millions to erect a statue of Lin Fei in front of Madison Garden Plaza in recognition of his contributions to the team.

As soon as the news came out, fans around the globe went crazy again.

"What's the situation? Is Dolan playing for real? Spend millions of dollars to erect a statue of Lin in front of the arena? It's nothing for you to erect a statue of the team's merits, and the key is that Lin hasn't played a game for the Knicks? ”

"OMG, this guy Dolan is really crazy, although I admit that Lin is the strongest supernova in the active league, but he shouldn't be so kneeling and licking, right? Before anyone played a game for the Knicks, the statue was erected? ”

"Although I am a loyal fan of Lin Fei, I don't agree with James Dolan to erect a statue of Lin Fei in advance, this is pure nonsense, unknowing black fans should jump out and slander Lin Fei for great joy!"

"I believe that Phineas can lead the Knicks out of the quagmire, and in less than three years, this statue erected by James Dolan in advance will be given its meaning!"

"Although I feel that James Dolan is a bit of a fool, he is really stupid and has a lot of money, and he also gives enough respect to Lin Fei, which must also be praised!"

Although the New York Knicks after Lin Fei joined are still not favored by major media experts, the popularity of the Knicks has soared significantly around the world.

Within a week after Lin Fei announced that he had officially joined the Knicks,

Adidas' first batch of genuine Lin Fei No. 22 Knicks jerseys printed and sold sold more than 1 million pieces in the United States.

With the arrival of Lin Fei in New York, there are fans everywhere in the streets, ports, docks, airports and stations, talking about looking forward to Lin Fei's performance in the Knicks in the new season.

Madison Garden Plaza was replaced with a huge poster of Lin Fei, and the big screen in Times Square also played a short promotional video edited and produced by the Knicks official for Lin Fei's joining.

Tickets for Madison Garden Square were originally hard to find, and with the addition of Lin Fei, the tickets for the Knicks' home opener in the new season were even more expensive by scalpers.

Although Madison Garden Plaza has a long history, after all, some of the facilities in the venue have fallen into disrepair and the façade has become old.

With more than 19,700 seats and more than 8 luxury boxes, it is clear that the stadium has long been unable to satisfy the enthusiasm of New York fans.

Now, with the addition of supernova Lin Fei, the Knicks' tickets for the new season are bound to be more sought-after.

As the owner, James Dolan has already come up with the idea of investing hundreds of millions of dollars to completely renovate and upgrade Madison Garden Plaza, and even has the idea of spending a lot of money to build a new arena in Brooklyn.

As a well-known person with a lot of money and rich second generation, Dolan has always been an idealist and does not and disdains to analyze problems rationally.

Lin Fei's classic goals created in his three-year career as an NBA rookie, and the bloody stunt that will forever go down in history at the World Championships in the island country,

James Dolan was deeply impressed, and his stubborn belief that Lin Fei could change the fate of the Knicks was even more determined than in 1997 when he was madly pursuing Michael Jordan.

As a crazy gambler, even after losing countless bets, James Dolan still believes that he can earn it back this time.

On October 24, the sixth day of the countdown to the opening of the NBA's 06-07 season.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Fei woke up from the double bed in the bedroom on the third floor of the villa, opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and took in the high-rise buildings and bustling scenes of Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Qin Dongmei, who was wearing pajamas, came out of the kitchen and had already prepared breakfast for Lin Fei in advance: a liter of fresh milk, half a sandwich and six egg whites.

This luxury single-family villa worth 3 million US dollars was purchased by Lin Fei as early as the beginning of the year and is located in the most well-known wealthy area of Manhattan, New York.

Covering an area of more than 900 square meters, the villa is a four-storey detached house with the famous St. Lawrence River in the background, with its own indoor basketball court and swimming pool, gymnasium and multimedia video hall.

Today is the third day that Lin Fei and Qin Dongmei officially moved in.

After Lin Fei's shooting training in the morning, he was ready to use a marathon around the city to have an intimate all-round contact with the city of New York.

Stephen Marbury and Knicks bench player Nate Robinson were already booked last night.

Marbury and "Little Potato" Robinson are also the first two teammates Lin Fei is familiar with in the Knicks, and both of them are also enthusiastic and straightforward in private.

Just took advantage of this full marathon, and the three of them also competed with each other in terms of physical fitness and endurance.

The trio set off from their villa on Manhattan's Upper East Side,

Along the way, pass the St. Lawrence Bridge, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Aquarium, Kings Park, Flushing Food City,

The route covers four boroughs and one island in New York, and almost all the landmarks can be seen at a glance.

Marbury and Robinson also introduced Lin Fei to the customs, history and culture along the way.

As a native of Brooklyn, New York, Marbury naturally has a strong and complex affection for New York.

In the afternoon, after the three returned to Manhattan, Marbury and Robinson also took Lin Fei to the famous Rock Park in New York to feel the atmosphere of the basketball mecca.

Many local fans are already familiar with Marbury, and Marbury is also in harmony with the fans, without the slightest superstar fight.

Even though many black New York fans blame Marbury for his ability to lead the team and think that he didn't bring the Knicks to the heights that fans expect, Marbury still won't get angry with these fans.

Of course, the protagonist of this court today is no longer Marbury, nor is it any talented black player, but Lin Fei.

The three of them played a half-time 3v3 match with the fans, and there were also several bullfighting challenges, even if it was a simple fight, Lin Fei's charm on the court was undoubtedly revealed.

Marbury is unruly and somewhat similar to Iverson's personality, and he will do his best to express himself in the NBA as much as possible, both in official games and on the field.

But tonight when he teamed up with Lin Fei to play wild ball, he would always try his best to pass the ball to Lin Fei's hands, or create opportunities for the opponent to perform.

Marbury has always wanted to win and team glory, and if he has a star teammate on the team who convinces him, why would he be the lone wolf who is spit on by the fans?

And Lin Fei's arrival may be the spring that Marbury is looking forward to.

As they approached to leave Rock Park, fans couldn't help but ask Lin Fei if he was confident of leading the team to the playoffs with Marbury in the new season.

Lin Fei smiled and asked these enthusiastic black New York fans:

"Is it just the playoffs?"

"Guys, I think you could have set your goals a little bolder!"

……

Los Angeles, Marina Beach.

Four Black NBA players are lying under parasols and enjoying the final days of the NBA offseason together.

These four are the four interior players who are also the NBA's 2001 lottery show and are known as the "Four Treasures of High School":

No. 1 pick Comeme Brown, No. 4 pick Eddie Curry, No. 8 pick Desai Genner Diop.

Although the four of them are in different NBA teams, the friendship between them is still very good, just like the Four Heroes.

During the chat, the four of them talked about Lin Fei joining the Knicks.

"Eddie, you have to have a new big brother in the new season, I heard that James Dolan is now obedient to Lin Yan, be careful not to eat junk food all day long and miss training, otherwise be careful to be cleaned up!"

Praise Brown has a gloating expression on his face, he has now become a pure bench player in the Lakers, and the label of parallel goods cannot be removed, so naturally he doesn't want to see his brothers mix too well.

Tyson Chandler also laughed:

"Kwammy is right, James Dolan is going to erect a statue of Lin in Madison Garden Plaza, this is really a strange operation, Eddie, you can offend Stephen Marbury, you must not offend Lin, otherwise I don't know how to be traded!"

Diop also spoke: "I just saw Lin's strength in the finals, and he is really strong, and Dirk has been convinced!" And I heard that this guy is still a training maniac! ”

"Eddie, with your physical talent that is not inferior to Shaquille, if you could have one-tenth of Lin's training intensity, you would have entered the All-Star long ago!"

Faced with the advice of the three brothers, Eddie Curry swallowed the beef burger in his left hand in one gulp, and then drank the cup of Coke in his right hand in one gulp.

Licked his lips, touched his bulging belly and smiled:

"Don't sow discord, the arrival of Lin will only be of greater benefit to me, the starting center!"

"The intensity of training can naturally be mentioned, but this hamburger coke, Lao Tzu will not quit even if he is killed!"

"What's wrong with being a little brother to Lin? People are a double-sided FMVP, and they can't get rid of Marbury's old guy a hundred times? I'm waiting for him to bring me to the All-Star season next season! ”
