At the Knicks' post-game press conference, head coach Isaiah Thomas also brought Lin Fei, Marbury and Eddie Curry to attend.

James Dolan, who was full of alcohol, also couldn't wait to appear at the press conference of the season with the players and coaches.

Many local and out-of-state media reporters in New York have already crowded the conference room, eager to interview Lin Fei.

Tonight's opening game was unprecedentedly hot, and Lin Fei's 67 points, 10 assists and 4 steals broke many historical records in the NBA opener, which was full of topicality.

Therefore, for the media reporters of these major newspapers and magazines, Lin Fei means traffic and money, and a forward-looking and eye-catching article report on Lin Fei's performance tonight will even become a stepping stone for these reporters to be promoted.

Before Lin Fei's arrival, the Knicks' biggest traffic and most favored by reporters was not the players, but the stupid and wealthy owner James Dolan.

But tonight, as Lin Fei hit explosive data, even the boss of Jennix, who drank the exaggerated language, began to be snubbed by media reporters.

"Lin, how do you rate your 67 points tonight? Do you think you've surpassed Kobe, Iverson and Wade to become the active No. 1 quarterback? ”

"Lin, if you re-line the big four quarterbacks in the league today, which four stars do you think it will be?"

"Lin, you set a new record for single-game scoring in the opening game of NBA history, and you are also the youngest Mr. 60 points in the NBA, and the second player in NBA history to score 60 points + 10 assists in a single game, what dare you think about these records?"

"Lin, would you like to evaluate the overall performance of the team tonight and what you think of the performance of Stephen Marbury and Eddie Curry?"

"Lin, do you think you deserve the honor now for Boss James Dolan's decision to erect a statue for you in Madison Garden Plaza?"

In the face of the reporters' euphemistic or tricky questions, Lin Fei was calm, quick-witted, confident, and fluent.

"This is my first NBA regular season game with the Knicks, and I'm delighted with the win tonight and thank my teammates and coaches for their trust!"

"67 points in a single game is a great honour for me, but I also made some mistakes in the game tonight, and I wasn't happy with my performance in some offensive and defensive aspects!"

"Because this is my first game as a true leader of the team, I still have a lot of things to learn and improve!"

"The fans in New York are far more passionate than I thought they would be, and as a basketball mecca, there's a much more frenetic atmosphere than Miami and Minnesota!"

"Stephen Marbury is a good veteran, Eddie Curry has a lot of talent, and they are going to give me the right hand and make the Knicks stronger!"

"Finally, I still have to thank my boss James Dolan, maybe the future history can really prove whether the statue that is about to be erected has a worthy feat!"

Listening to Lin Fei's high emotional intelligence reply to the reporter's question, Marbury next to him fully realized that he was too arrogant in front of media reporters in the past few seasons.

And Eddie Curry, who is five big and three rough, admires Lin Fei's speech and demeanor even more, this kind of low-key and humble star demeanor is different from the flamboyance of local stars in the United States, but it has a unique charm.

Following the Heat's Big Three configuration, the Knicks coaching staff also intends to package the New York Big Three framework of Lin Fei, Marbury and Eddie Curry.

Although Marbury is not as strong as Wade, he also has personal experience and technical advantages.

And Eddie Curry is not as good as the peak sharks, but he also has talent and young capital.

In addition to Lin Fei's 67 points, Marbury's 25 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, and Eddie Curry's 15 points, 9 rebounds and 1 block are also worthy of their own prices.

Although the game is over, the heat has not gone away for a long time, and in the streets and alleys of New York, in every neighborhood of Manhattan, there are fans of all sexes and men talking about this classic game.

also sighed at Lin Fei's 67-point supernatural performance of killing Kobe Bryant.

The voices complaining and cursing James Dolan began to decrease, and few people ridiculed Marbury as the king of cancer, and even Isaiah Thomas was considered at least much better than Larry Brown.

"I really regret that I didn't buy a ticket to watch the NBA opener tonight, Lin's performance is crazy, and the hope of the Knicks is finally here!"

"Although it's just one game, Lin's all-round skills and leadership style are really exciting, Marbury and Eddie have also ushered in a turnaround, and the Knicks are finally going to turn over!"

"If every game can be as united and positive as tonight's, let alone win against the Lakers, even if it is the defending champion, we will be equally worthy!"

"Lin's 67 points tonight are more positive than Kobe's 81 points, and the Knicks finally have their own superstar!"

"In addition to his layup skills and rebounding ability are not strong enough, I feel that Lin is already an all-round warrior, Kobe Bryant can't prevent it, and no one in the league can limit him alone!"

"James Dolan, this old guy is really shit lucky, he really signed Lin Fei, the Knicks have made the playoffs, and it is estimated that the market value of the Knicks is about to skyrocket again!"

Major sports newspapers and magazines at home and abroad also actively reported Lin Fei's 67-point feat in the opening game, and the sales of Lin Fei's Knicks No. 22 jersey once again ushered in a wave of rapid surge.

After the press conference that night, Lin Fei personally took the lead and invited Marbury, Eddie Curry, David Lee, Ariza and Crawford to his villa.

Qin Dongmei helped the mixed-race cook to prepare a sumptuous supper and place it on the marble table in the living room.

Tomahawk steak with honey sauce, beef dumplings with large fillings, fresh vegetable salad, and grilled pizza and lobster.

In the luxurious wine cabinet, there are also high-end red wines, national wines and foreign wines specially purchased by Qin Dongmei, each bottle is more than thousands of dollars.

In the first two seasons of coming to the NBA, Lin Fei has always been a drinker, even at the gatherings of players and friends, he always uses tea instead of wine.

Now that he has become the big brother of the Knicks, Lin Fei knows more about the importance of getting along with these players.

Coupled with the rise of personal business value, in some business occasions that have to be attended, meeting bigwigs from all walks of life, this wine still has to be drunk a little.

Although he has always been strict with himself in private and does not drink a drop of alcohol, Lin Fei found that his alcohol consumption was surprisingly good, and he didn't know where this was inherited.

When two 5-liter bottles of Pepsi were placed in front of Eddie Curry by Lin Fei, the little fat man was stunned.

"Eddie, I promise you, if you win the game, you will definitely drink enough, if these two large bottles are not enough, the refrigerator will still be there, but you must not waste it!"

Eddie Curry twitched his nose, and his face suddenly showed a crying and laughing expression, and the Knicks teammates around him also laughed.

Marbury couldn't help but give Lin Fei a thumbs up and exclaimed:

"Lin, it's better for you to make Eddie drink until he vomits, and he shouldn't be obsessed with Coke anymore in the future, right? Ha ha! ”

In fact, in order to make Eddie Curry lose weight, Stephen Marbury and other Knicks players have also been painstaking.

Just last season, Marbury conspired with Quentin Richardson and others, and secretly put laxatives in Eddie Curry's Coke Fill.

Because anyone can see Eddie Curry's visible talent, as long as he can lose weight, gain muscle, and increase training intensity, there may be no "Warcraft" later.

The seven or eight people at the table did not advise each other to drink, intending to have fun.

Stephen Marbury was in high spirits, and tonight's opener victory gave him a real glimpse into the Knicks' vitality and hope for the middle and latter stages of his career.

Although 25 points and 11 assists are not very beautiful statistics, Marbury knows that with Lin Fei, it will only become easier for him to play beautiful statistics in the next games.

After drinking three glasses of whiskey of more than 40 degrees in a row with beef dumplings, Marbury was directly drunk and hazy, touching his bald head with a lot of emotion, and the words became more.

"It's a really good game tonight, Lin, thank you for coming to the Knicks, you let me and these teammates see the team's hope of making the playoffs and even winning the championship!"

Looking back on the dozen seasons he entered the NBA from '96, from the original Timberwolves to the Nets, and then to the Suns and Knicks, Marbury seems to be getting farther and farther away from his dream.

The bumpy road, countless ridicule and abuse, made Marbury lost and depressed for a while.

In the more than two seasons since he came to the Knicks, Marbury has moved with his teammates, argued with the head coach, scolded the fans, and missed games and practice without reason.

Seeing that Iverson, Kobe, and Steve Nash of the same class have all gained more brilliant resumes than themselves,

Even Jermaine O'Neal, Ray Allen and others are more famous than themselves.

Marbury was naturally unconvinced, he had worked hard and struggled, but he never got rid of the cancer label that the fans had put on his head.

The arrival of Lin Fei made Marbury truly realize the problem, and perhaps being a second-in-command in the Knicks is the best destination for his career.

"When Lao Tzu was in Minnesota, to be honest, I didn't have to compete with Kevin's guy for the boss, but it was freezing in that place, how could I have my hometown of New York?"

"Now that I think about it, I am still too arrogant as an NBA player, thinking that I can become the focus of the stars everywhere, so I slowly got to this point today!"

Marbury drank another glass of whiskey, and his eyes looking at the void were full of memories and emotion:

"To be honest, if I had really signed a contract extension with the Timberwolves and been my second best in Minnesota, maybe I would have had a championship ring by now!"

Lin Fei patted Marbury on the shoulder and comforted: "Old Ma, your current career is still in its prime, there is nothing to feel sorry for!" ”

"Fans compared you to Kevin Garnett, you to Steve Nash, you to Jason Kidd, maybe now you're not as good as them!"

"But by the end of your career, you'll definitely outdo more than one of them!"

"Our glory with the Knicks is just starting to set sail!"

Eddie Curry, Jamal Crawford and Quentin Richardson and others usually disagree with Marbury in private, but now it seems that the old horse is also quite difficult.

The most heartfelt thanks to Lin Fei have to be David Lee and Trevor Ariza, who were newly promoted to the starting line by the Knicks coaching staff.

One is in the third year and the other is in the second year, and the draft ranks are not high, whether the opportunities in front of them can be grasped is related to the entire career of the two.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them also spoke their hearts, thanking Lin Fei, the new boss, for his support and care.

Lin Fei smiled at David Lee and Ariza:

"David, Trevor, you two are potential stocks, if you really want to thank me, just train hard, try to make the All-Star team, get a bigger contract!"

In the Knicks' group of players, except for Lin Fei and David Lee, the rest are almost all black players from the bottom, so they also have more of a common language.

Marbury talked about his junior high school days when he played all the invincible players in the world on the New York field court, and Eddie Curry complained about his experience of being bullied in elementary school.

Jamal Crawford said he almost died in the hospital, and Quentin Richardson's sister married at the age of 15......

An intra-team party, although the Knicks and these players still have their own thoughts, they are finally more familiar with each other and Lin Fei.

……

The three games of the NBA's opening game, although each had a win or a loss, all played a high-level star performance.

Lin Fei's personal 67 points are naturally an indisputable sensation in the league, although the Lakers lost, Kobe Bryant's 45 points were also the highest single score in the opening game of his career.

And Wade, who received the second championship ring on the Heat's side, also got a quasi-triple-double of 41 points and led the team to a big victory.

Allen Iverson, who was traded to the Denver Nuggets, also got 30+ in the opener.

The three opening games of the 06-07 season have completely stirred up the heat of the new NBA season, and the league pattern is also quietly changing.

After a day of rest, Lin Fei and the Knicks players flew from New York to Houston to face the Houston Rockets led by Maddy.

The Knicks have a difficult start to the season, only playing one home court, and then playing six consecutive away games, and the Devils have six consecutive away games, all of which are Western teams.

Among them, there are many Western giants such as the Timberwolves, Suns and Nuggets.

Isaiah Thomas didn't have a high requirement for the Knicks' six-game Devils, which was to try to get three wins.

Although the Rockets lost Da Yao, they also got Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum, and they took Roy in the draft, and the rebuilt team lineup is also worth looking forward to.

The game was also a head-to-head matchup between the league's two top five-quarterbacks.

Maddie only played about 50 games last season due to various injuries, and returned from injury in the new season, aiming to regain his style as the scoring champion of the year.

After the opening day, ESPN lined up the four most competitive shooting guards in the league for the new season, namely Kobe, Lin Fei, Wade and Iverson.

Maddie was naturally not convinced by being eliminated from the league's new four quarterbacks, so he faced the Knicks led by Lin Fei in the game tonight.

Maddie, who has returned to form, is naturally looking forward to a head-to-head battle with Lin Fei in the game.

The Knicks still sent Marbury, Lin Fei, Ariza, David Lee and Eddie Curry to the starting five in this away game.

The Rockets' starting five are: Ralph Alston, Brandon Roy, Tracy McGrady, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum.

The Rockets fans at home are obviously not excited enough, and many fans are still wearing Da Yao's jerseys, and they are dissatisfied and bearish about the management trade for Da Yao in exchange for Odom and Bynum.

Compared with the Knicks and the Lakers, the Rockets' roster is obviously more chaotic, and there are more contradictions within the team.

Although Maddy's starting position in the team is small forward, and rookie Roy plays point guard, Maddie is facing Lin Fei at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

In the past two seasons, the Rockets and the Heat have played each other four times, with Maddy missing one due to injury, and in the remaining three games,

Lin Fei's average points per game and offensive and defensive efficiency are significantly higher than Maddie's by half a grade.

Maddie has good physical talent, and his defense is naturally not bad, but he can't reach Kobe's height, so Lin Fei can always score easier in the face of Maddie.

In the opening game, the Rockets attacked first, Maddie held the ball to Odom in the front court, and hit David Lee's turnover breakthrough with his back.

"Huh!"

In the confrontation between the two teams' starting five tigers in the same position, Odom on the Rockets power forward is obviously the one with the most obvious advantage.

The ball is converted, and the Knicks attack.

Lin Fei received Marbury's pass in the front court, and in the face of Maddie, who was tall and long-armed, he did not choose to retreat and make a strong shot, but changed direction with a drag step and broke through directly from Maddy's side.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei, who accelerated into the penalty area, attracted Lamar Odom's help and quickly gave the ball to David Lee, who slipped to the bottom line.

David Lee, who slipped the bottom line and hit the basket, failed to catch the ball with his butter hand at the first time, barely controlled the ball and jumped in a hurry to dunk, but was directly slapped away by a big hat from the "little shark" Bynum, who quickly turned over to make up for the defense.

"Smack!"

The basketball was fanned by Bynum to the left side of the court, and Ariza in the bottom corner grabbed the ball first, and hurriedly returned to Marbury to reorganize.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Lin Fei just quickly retreated to the left side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line with the help of cover, and was about to shoot three points after receiving Marbury's pass.

Seeing that Maddie and Alston both quickly pounced, Lin Fei made a fake pass and returned the ball to Marbury again.

Marbury took a step forward and threw a half-volley from around 13 feet, and the basketball flew over the head of Bynum, the little shark, and went into the net.

"Huh!"

The Rockets obviously learned the reason for the Lakers' loss in the opening game, and adopted a certain degree of decisiveness against Lin Fei, risking being beaten more locally by the opponent, but also forcing Lin Fei to pass.

This defensive strategy has obviously achieved certain results, and in the case of insufficient overall run-in, frequent conduction has made many mistakes for the Knicks.

As a result, the Rockets played some wonderful counter-attacking fast breaks.

But at the same time, the Rockets' players also have a lack of cooperation with each other, and mistakes are frequent, giving the Knicks a lot of opportunities.

After the whole game was played, the Knicks, under the leadership of Lin Fei, still occupied the initiative in the game most of the time.

Even though the overall performance of the players was far worse than in the opening game, there were 19 turnovers in total.

But in the end, with Lin Fei's 10 three-pointers and 42 points and 13 assists, the Knicks still won the Rockets 121-109 on the road, winning two consecutive wins at the beginning of the new season.

After back-to-back wins over the Lakers and Rockets, the Knicks continued to travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Kevin Garnett.

Returning to the place where their NBA dream began, for Lin Fei and Marbury, this game against the Timberwolves is of extraordinary significance.

Local Minneapolis fans are also looking forward to this game, because Lin Fei has always been a hero in the history of the Timberwolves.

But for Marbury, more fans have the opposite attitude, and there is a lot of scolding. (End of chapter)
