[217] The plasticity of the Knicks, the battle for the strongest quarterback in the active roster!
Under the close interference of Kobe Bryant's reluctance, Lin Fei's flying dunk still failed to grasp the rhythm after all, and the basketball that almost came out of his hand bounced directly on the basket.
"Bang dang!"
As the league's top outside defender today, Kobe Bryant's defense is strong in this regard.
Whether it is defending with or without the ball, he can always keep close to the opponent, like a dog skin plaster, and will not risk stealing, even if Lin Fei changes direction sharply between two consecutive marches, he still can't completely shake off Kobe's interference.
Of course, Lin Fei's missed dunk this time has a lot to do with his layup attribute of only 72 points, in terms of jumping position and rhythm, aerial confrontation and balance,
Lin Fei is obviously not up to the level of a first-class guard in the NBA.
Seeing that Lin Fei directly dunked the basketball, the fans who were ready to cheer on the scene also hugged the back of their heads with a smile and shook their heads with a little regret.
However, the fierce game on the court is still going on non-stop.
The basketball that was vigorously dunked out by Lin Fei smashed on the tempered rebound and bounced directly in front of the free throw line, and Marbury, who shook off Fisher in the oblique stab, was quick and rushed up to quickly grab the ball.
"Smack!"
Taking advantage of Kobe Bryant's pounce on Lin Fei and having no time to care about the basket after he landed, Marbury did not hesitate, and directly dribbled the ball into the restricted area, and he was about to pick up the basket.
However, at the moment when Marbury jumped up and lifted the ball, his eyes caught a glimpse of Lin Fei who was quickly rushing from under the basket to the right 0-degree angle.
The figure wearing the No. 22 jersey of the Knicks made Marbury's heart move, mobilized the core strength of his waist and abdomen, shook his wrist, and passed the ball directly to the right side.
You must know that it is very difficult to change the pass to a teammate in this situation where a layup has already been formed.
Although the line of the ball was not too accurate, Lin Fei, who quickly landed in position, still reached out to catch the basketball steadily, clicked to adjust the rhythm and flew up.
When Kobe Bryant was afraid that Marbury's layup would be contained, he decisively shot a three-point shot at a 0-degree angle.
"Huh!"
The third.
Marbury has +1 assist.
Lin Fei scored +3.
The Knicks fans who were still shaking their heads and chuckling at Lin Fei's basketball smash last moment suddenly lit up at this moment, and burst into deafening cheers and screams.
"OMG, this three-point shot is too handsome, isn't it? Stephen passed well, Lin shot better! ”
"Stephen Marbury's fake cast after jumping up is very difficult, is this still the lone wolf we are familiar with?"
"The arrival of Lin, is this the direct evolution of Stephen Marbury into Steve Nash? This pass was just amazing! ”
Even Marbury himself couldn't have imagined that he would fly to the basket nine times out of ten, and he actually chose to temporarily pass the ball to Lin Fei, who was running outside.
Because no matter from any kind of offensive logic, in the absence of defensive interference, Marbury's choice to fly to pick up the basket is obviously more reasonable than passing the ball to Lin Fei on the outside to shoot a three-point shot, and the probability of scoring is much higher.
After all, with a guard of Marbury's level, the probability of scoring a layup in this situation has exceeded 90%, and it is basically impossible to lose points.
And Lin Fei, who passed to the outside, even if Lin Fei's career three-point shooting rate was the first in history, it still couldn't reach 70%.
But Marbury still chose to believe Lin Fei, as if Lin Fei had a kind of magic in his body, forcing him to pass the ball over willingly.
It seems that passing through can steadily brush assists, and passing through can activate the whole team.
Once again, Marbury was right.
Three points is one more point than two.
Knicks (23) :(12) Lakers.
With the timeout, Lin Fei hit two three-pointers in a row, and a wave of 6-2 allowed the Knicks to quickly extend their lead to double digits.
Sitting on the sidelines, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson had a gloomy face, obviously very unhappy with Fisher's two consecutive mistakes.
Madison Garden Square cheered, but Kobe, who was used to seeing strong winds and waves, did not mess up because of this.
The Black Mamba directly took the ball to the offensive end, faced Lin Fei's three threats and tried to move, looked at the basket, and once again high-profile the ball to Da Yao, who was stuck in the position.
Da Yao received the ball with his back on the right side of the basket, resisted Eddie Curry, and after a false shot, he turned over directly and shook off the opponent, and gently jumped up to send a one-handed dunk.
"Boom!"
Da Yao has scored 6 points in a row, and Eddie Curry, who played him, has no temper.
For Eddie Curry, although he is not as talented as Dwight Howard in running and jumping, it is only a drop in the shoulder.
Moreover, Eddie Curry is stronger than Howard in height and weight, and the main reason why his career cannot reach the height of "Warcraft" is due to self-discipline and attitude problems.
And now Eddie Curry is over 134 kilograms, nearly 300 pounds, which restricts his flexibility on the defensive end.
In Lin Fei's opinion, as long as Eddie Curry can reduce his weight to about 120 kilograms, appropriately reduce his body fat rate, and then change his lazy competition and training attitude,
Carefully polish the interior skills at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, then in the next 5 years, the first center in the East, I am afraid there will be no more "Warcraft" anything.
But the wish is very plump, but the reality is too skinny.
If you want Eddie Curry to do this, it's like asking O'Neal to work as hard as Kobe, so that the first person in league history may no longer be Jordan.
Seeing that Eddie Curry couldn't prevent Da Yao from being a little frustrated, Lin Fei quickly came up to Eddie Curry's side, patted the other party's buttocks, and casually suggested two sentences:
"Eddie, try to top Da Yao's lower plate, disrupt the rhythm of his footsteps, don't risk trying to block, he's more than 15 centimeters taller than you!"
"When he is stuck and asks for the ball, you can try to block around the front, and your physical flexibility will be a clear advantage!"
"If I have time to watch more footage of the game between the Jazz and the Rockets, Carlos Boozer's defense of Da Yao is very instructive!"
Lin Fei's serious instructions made Eddie Curry instantly feel that his IQ was a little insufficient, and he was ashamed of his defensive attitude.
You must know that although Lin Fei is the new boss of the Knicks, he is only 22 years old after all, more than 1 year younger than him, and his positive attitude towards the game is really nothing to say.
Not only did he try to be perfect in his own position, but he also studied how to change his defense in different positions and opponents.
deserves to be a double-team and the MVP of the finals, but he has begun to be complacent after getting a broken contract with an annual salary of seven or eight million.
In contrast, the gap between the two realms is too great, which makes Eddie Curry suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment.
It seems that if you don't work hard, you're really sorry for your youth and talent.
"Lin, what you said makes so much sense, it's a hundred times stronger than that old guy of Isaiah!"
Eddie Curry came to Lin Fei's side and whispered, but Lin Fei could only shake his head and smile without saying anything.
Looking back, Lin Fei held the ball at the top of the arc and Eddie Curry played blocking and dismantling, and suddenly hit the board with a high hanging in the process of dislocation and breakthrough, and assisted Eddie Curry to jump up and send another shark dunk.
"Boom!"
Seeing that the 134-kilogram Eddie Curry can still have the flexible speed to easily shake off Da Yao, this damn talent is really not inferior to Warcraft and Sharks.
The Lakers attacked, seeing that the advantage of the interior was obvious, Fisher hoisted the ball high again to Da Yao under the basket, Eddie Curry still failed to stop the advance defense, and David Lee on the left quickly rushed up to cover Da Yao according to the tactical arrangement.
Da Yao was attacked on his back and could only make a strong shot when he almost made a mistake, which directly caused David Lee's shooting to foul.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew for a foul on David Lee's shooter, and Da Yao was given two free throws.
The angry Eddie Curry glared at David Lee fiercely, and scolded angrily:
"If you don't know how to wrap up, don't rush over frizzy, a wonderful chasing hat I'm ready to go is ruined by this kid!"
In the face of Eddie Curry's complaints, David Lee naturally didn't dare to squeak, after all, he was the third leader of the Knicks, and he could only stand it as a sophomore rookie.
But in his heart, David Lee still couldn't help but spit out Eddie Curry crazily, what does it mean that the wonderful hat chasing was destroyed by him? Didn't this fat man find out that he had been beaten up by Da Yao?
Taking advantage of the time when Da Yao walked to the free throw line, Lin Fei also walked to David Lee's side and patted the opponent's shoulder to show encouragement.
"David, you are very timely, don't be frustrated by fouls, I believe you will do better next time!"
Seeing that the boss has spoken for David Lee, Eddie Curry on the side naturally has no more complaints.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Da Yao, who walked to the free throw line, made two free throws and scored eight points in a row in the first quarter.
As a debut to join the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight's game is also important for Da Yao.
Being teammates with Kobe Bryant will always set higher and stricter requirements for himself, which is definitely a good thing for Da Yao, who has always been self-disciplined.
The ball was converted, Lin Fei came to the front court with the ball, and after stepping two steps across the middle line, he took advantage of Kobe Bryant's one-meter distance, without any hesitation, and directly raised his hand to hit a lightning bolt.
Kobe Bryant's defense was obviously half a beat slower, he didn't expect Lin Fei to suddenly make a move from such a distance, even if it was already within Lin Fei's range.
The basketball swept through the air 12 meters away and roared towards the basket.
"Huh!"
The fourth.
The basketball smashed the inside of the basket and fell into the net, and this ultra-long three-pointer obviously had a certain element of luck.
The Knicks fans at the scene went crazy again, and Lin Fei's ultra-long three-point shooting was tantamount to a terrifying nuclear weapon for the game.
Kobe Bryant was also taken aback by Lin Fei's ultra-long three-point sudden cold arrow, it seems that defending Lin Fei really can't be mentally lax at all.
The black mamba who came to the offensive end did not dare to show weakness, and leaned back against Lin Fei outside the three-point line, and shot a difficult three-point shot.
"Huh!"
Looking back, Lin Fei broke through the basket by blocking and dismantling, and with the help of David Lee's cover to shake off Kobe, a small pull-up jelly layup sent the ball into the basket lightly.
Even though Lin Fei has shown a good ability to break through to the layup at the World Championships in the offseason,
But the defense of Kobe Bryant and other players on the Lakers' side still subconsciously focused on Lin Fei's outside projection, and ignored his breakthrough threat.
Both teams played efficient offense in the first quarter of the regular season opener, and the pace of the game was always fast.
As the first quarter of the game ended, the Knicks also entered the second quarter with an 11-point advantage.
Knicks (39) :(28) Lakers.
With 39 points in a single quarter, the Knicks' firepower tonight was quite fierce, in addition to Lin Fei, Eddie Curry and Marbury also shot more than 50%.
After playing 12 minutes in a single quarter with Kobe, Lin Fei shot 7 of 8, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 two-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring the highest 17 points and 4 assists in a single quarter of the two teams.
Defensively, two steals were also scored.
And Kobe Bryant only hit 4 shots and got 10 points and 2 assists with the same 8 shots in a single quarter.
In contrast, Lin Fei's opening state at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was obviously better than Kobe.
However, what made Knicks fans most excited and excited was not the 17 points, 4 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter in the face of Kobe's strict defense.
It's the vitality of the Knicks.
Marbury had six points and three assists in the first quarter, Eddie Curry had six points and two rebounds, and Ariza hit a corner three-pointer and David Lee had two offensive rebounds.
All of them have given the Knicks a completely different look from previous seasons.
Both in the aggressiveness of the defensive end and in the execution of tactics, there has been a positive metamorphosis.
Although Isaiah Thomas is not a good general manager and head coach, he was also the league's No. 1 point guard who defeated Jordan twice in his prime.
The changes that are taking place in the Knicks are inextricably linked to Lin Fei.
However, after the start of the second quarter, with the rest of Lin Fei and Marbury,
The Knicks were led by Jamal Crawford and Jalen Rose.
Without the superstar's press, the Knicks' offense and defense quickly became chaotic, allowing fans to resee the epitome of last season's game.
The 33-year-old Jalen Rose is naturally eager to prove himself again, while Jamal Crawford is an offensive point that requires a lot of ball-handling, and his career scoring efficiency has been low, with a perennial shooting rate of around 41%.
These two guys came up with a wave of sharp and embarrassing 6 shots and 2 shots, slashing 4 points in 3 minutes, and the defensive end was even more airy.
Isaiah Thomas yelled angrily on the sidelines, but the players continued to go their own way.
On the other hand, on the Lakers' side, although the quality of the bench lineup is not high, it plays more disciplined and disciplined, and is very active in defense and rebounding.
A wave of 8:4 was played, and the point difference was quickly chased back to single digits by the Lakers.
The critical moment turned out to be the 175-year-old "little potato" Nate Robinson riding the savior alone, forcing Manovic to pull under the basket, and crooked to play 2+1.
"Huh!"
"Beep!"
Lin Fei, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, also nodded and gave Robinson a round of applause, this kid can really be said to be the ceiling among NBA short players.
Although Nate Robinson's official height is 175, privately Knicks players know that "Little Potato" is only 168 in real height.
Seeing his friend Eddie Curry playing well in the first quarter, Quamy Brown, the 01-year champion with the highest starting point in the "Four Treasures of High School", was naturally not to be outdone.
On the offensive end, Comeme Brown asked for the ball with his back in the low post, shook off the huge Jerome James with his feet, turned over and hit the ball into the basket.
"Huh!"
As the No. 1 overall pick in 2001, Comeme Brown was talented enough to put down 20 points, 13 rebounds and a terrifying 5.8 blocks in his final year of high school.
Eddie Curry is strong but not flexible enough to move, and Tyson Chandler is tall and has long arms, but is a little less confrontational.
And Comeme Brown is clearly at the perfect juncture of both, which is the key to his ability to beat his two friends to become the champion.
It's just that there are countless draft players who have directly entered the NBA after becoming famous in high school, and the only ones who can really play are Kobe Bryant and Garnett and a few others.
Without experiencing the tactical experience of the NCAA, relying on talent to directly enter the huge business league of the NBA, enjoy the glory that does not belong to them in the spotlight, and obtain countless money and beauties in advance.
It's normal for too many talented players to sink because of this.
The conflict and miscommunication between the two generations of players between 19-year-old Quame Brown when he first joined the Warsin Wizards and Jordan, who was 19 years older than him, also affected his best growth period.
Is the current Comeme Brown still talented? There must be, after all, he was just 24 years old.
Is there still value in cultivating? Naturally, there is, as long as he can train aggressively, develop self-confidence, and get a good enough trainer.
But the difficulty is too great, and the NBA has never lacked talented players, and there is no shortage of examples of mud that can't hold up the wall.
Seeing that the point difference was chased to 7 points, Isaiah Thomas took the lead in replacing Marbury to guide the team's offense and continued to let Lin Fei rest on the bench.
But without Lin Fei on the scene at the same time, Lao Ma suddenly seemed to be unable to pass the ball.
It's not that he can't pass the ball, it's that these Knicks players are simply in place, and they have no sense of running and attacking at all.
For such a situation, Marbury is already familiar with it, and can only start to play against the defense.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, crackling and cracking with 3 shots and 1 hit.
The Knicks fans at the scene were stunned, how could the team return to the same way last season in less than a few minutes?
After all, it is only the beginning of the regular season, and after the rebuilding of both teams, the coaches are making bold lineup matching attempts, which will naturally have a certain cost of trial and error.
Seeing that the Lakers chased the difference to within 5 points, Isaiah Thomas also took advantage of the official timeout in the second quarter to replace the main lineup led by Lin Fei.
With Lin Fei's play, the Knicks really glowed with the offensive and defensive state of the first quarter.
Lin Fei's three-point shot continued to open, Marbury's coquettish assist also came, and Eddie Curry also actively grabbed the frontcourt rebound in the face of Da Yao, and made up for the dunk in the roar of passion.
"Boom!"
Kobe Bryant and Da Yao also tried a variety of blocking and dismantling combinations, and Da Yao's efficiency in the first half was always maintained at a very high level when he was full of physical energy.
At the end of the second quarter, driven by Lin Fei's three more three-pointers in the second quarter, and 28 points, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the half, the Knicks regained an 11-point lead.
Knicks (67) :(56) Lakers.
Bryant also had an efficient first half on 8-of-15 shooting, scoring a Lakers-high 20 points and four rebounds, three assists and two steals.
But compared with Lin Fei, the scoring efficiency is still a little worse after all.
Intermission time.
The Knicks fans at the scene were very excited, admiring Lin Fei's wonderful performance of 28 points and 6 assists in the first half, and looking forward to the rapid rise of the Knicks in the new season.
"At least judging from the first half of the game, Lin suppressed Kobe Bryant at both offensive and defensive ends, who is the league's first quarterback today, I think it is self-evident!"
"Kobe Bryant seems to have no obvious advantage in other aspects except that his qualifications are older than Lin!"
"This year is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the NBA, and at the end of the year, the top 10 stars of the last ten years should be selected, and the top 50 superstars in 96 years will form the top 60 superstars in the history of the NBA.
"Lin and Wade have only played in the league for three seasons to have such a brilliant honor, and the future is really limitless!"
"I see that the opening game on the Heat's side has just ended, and Wade has a quasi-triple-double of 41 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds, with a shooting rate of more than 60%, leading the team to win the Bulls easily!"
"Wade is still back to play more exciting, it seems that in the new season's battle for the league's first quarterback, that is, the competition between Kobe, Lin and Wade, Allen Iverson has fallen behind!"
"The AI also performed well in the opening game tonight, scoring 26 points in his debut with the Nuggets, and winning the game with Anthony by 60 points!"
"The Nuggets have the golden twin guns, the Lakers have the Yao Ke combination, and our Knicks have Lin and Marbury's All-Star partners, and these three teams have a lot of room for improvement in the new season!"
"Tonight's opening game should be an early showdown between the league's new season scoring champions."
"Kobe Bryant is strong when he is strong, it seems that what he said is true, if it weren't for Lin, he wouldn't have shot more than 50% tonight, right?"
"Both teams are heavy on offense and light on defense tonight, and the offensive firepower in the second half may become more intense, what is the personal single-game scoring record in the NBA opener? It seems that Lin and Kobe Bryant have hope to make an impact! ”
