Chapter 319 Perfect integration, funny than the brigade! (Fourth change! Ask for a monthly pass!)
Billups joined the Knicks in Orlando.
"Welcome to New York!" When the team coach D'Antoni patted himself on the shoulder, Billups was still a little uneasy. Even though he was recognized as a big heart on the basketball court, he was different from playing against the Knicks. Now the opponent has become his teammate.
"Poor Marco, I wish him all the best in Denver." Gallinari (traded for Belinelli, not to be confused) was the first to greet Billups, a handsome Italian with a genuinely friendly smile.
"Hello, Danilo." Billups and Gallinari shook hands.
"Hey! Shaq, don't bully Lin, Chauncey is here!" Gallinari shouted towards the training ground.
On the training ground, the corner of O'Neill's mouth twitched, "The last 'Shark Splash'!"
Lin Yi on the floor: "Death, death, death!"
Billups who saw this scene: "."
Is this really the Jagged Knicks?
Billups watched the video of the Knicks game, and he thought D'Antoni used Larry Brown's way of running the army to train the defense.
"Hey, Chauncey, are you here to hug the 'shark' thigh too?" O'Neal gave Billups a bear hug, while Gallinari added: "Come on, Shaq, Lin said last time, sharks don't have legs!"
O'Neal glared at Gallinari, and the "Second Battalion Commander" spread his hands and walked away resolutely.
Shark patted Billups on the back, "Don't mind, this team has more brats."
Billups nodded, as if to say he could tell.
At this time, Lin Yi, who was supporting his waist, also came over, "Welcome to New York, Chauncey."
O'Neill gave Lin Yi a blank look: "We are in Orlando now!"
Hell, the kidney hurts so much, Lin Yi vowed that if he returns to China during the lockout period, he will go to Shaolin Temple, and he must learn 72 stunts, but it seems that the trick of monkey stealing peaches has no effect on sharks?
Billups said hello to Lin Yi. He didn't dare to neglect this one. Billups is not Ricky Davis. Speaking of which, he was a little worried that Lin Yi's ball-occupied style of play would not be compatible with him.
"Hey, Louis, don't mention that woman last night, okay?" The Knicks players came over one by one, Lu Wei and Stephenson chatted about the 'interesting things' of last night while walking.
"Damn it, Lance, if you hadn't revealed that I have a girlfriend, I would have succeeded instead of you!" Lu Wei said.
"Hey, this is the benefit of being single. Do you know why the boss has been single? Danilo is right, being single is the happiest thing in the world." Stephenson said.
Lin Yi looked at the two bastards who came, and first asked Stephenson to eat a brutal big iron elbow.
O'Neill said calmly to Billups: "I just said that this team has a lot of brats."
Billups: "."
Is this team really the current No. [-] in the Eastern Conference?
You know, when Billups was in the Pistons, everyone usually put their heads down and practiced hard. When Larry Brown was away, everyone would joke with each other, but they all went as far as they could.
In the Nuggets, George Karl also asked the players to talk less during training, so Billups got used to the atmosphere of honest practice.
However, the Knicks, are you training now?
What about D'Antoni?
Why is he more like KFC's grandpa than Phil Jackson?Mascot?Does he care?
Because the plane was late, so Billups only caught up with the second half of the training session.
In fact, D'Antoni didn't care about it, but because of the game tomorrow, he didn't ask the players to practice to the death during training. He mainly focused on some light games, mainly to let these players find the feeling of the game.
"Is there a physical problem? We will arrange you to start tomorrow." D'Antoni looked at Billups and asked.
Billups nodded.
So in the second half of the training session, D'Antoni arranged a five-on-five full-court offensive and defensive drill. He intentionally divided Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, and Billups into a team, and then Whiteside, Battier, Danny Green, Lu Wei, and Livingston lined up.
O'Neal and Wilson Chandler sat on the sidelines and joined the coaches as referees and statisticians.
……
How long did it take Lin Yi to conquer Billups?
To be precise, in the two offensive and defensive rounds, the Knicks' internal training also focused on switching offenses, so the specific time is 2 minute and 1 seconds.
He willingly picks and rolls for me?
Isn't he the absolute core of this team?
Isn't he averaging 26.8 shots per game?
This pick and roll...
Here goes!
good chance!
It's unbelievable, Billups feels that Lin Yi's golf quotient is too high, and the opponent is really just a substitute lineup?
Even Billups couldn't help Livingston's several back hits, and Billups was fouled for one ball.
Although he doesn't want to admit it, Billups really wants to say: The Knicks' backup defense is better than the Nuggets' starter.
This is a completely different experience, and Lin Yi is also playing very comfortably. Billups has fewer direct assists, which doesn't mean he can't organize offense.
At the beginning, Billups regarded Lin Yi as Anthony to cooperate. He was able to help Lin Yi divide the space.
But later Billups discovered that he and Lin Yi were more efficient in pick-and-rolls, and Lin Yi could always pass the ball to the open spot inexplicably.
"Carl is right." Billups sighed. Lin Yi is so crucial to this Knicks team. His contribution is not just scoring. He is indeed the well-deserved leader of this team.
"How?" D'Antoni asked his assistants after the training session.
"Perfect integration, Chauncey's overall view can give full play to Lin's role on the offensive end, his defensive experience is very experienced, Mike, seriously, we are very strong." Assistant coach Donaldson said confidently.
D'Antoni didn't deny it, "Yes, we are strong."
"However, if you say it, you may not believe it. Chauncey's data is not as good as Sean's." D'Antoni circulated the data recorded by another coach to everyone.
In the 20-minute full-court offensive and defensive drill, Billups made 4 of 2 three-pointers and made no other shots. He scored 6 points and 3 assists.
而利文斯顿则是6中4，拿到8分4篮板2助攻。
This is a major feature of Billups' playing. He doesn't take shots, even if he hits the iron, he chooses efficient scoring methods that can't destroy the Knicks' offensive system.
But his defense and sorting out the offense are exactly what this Knicks currently lacks.
This can be seen from the 47 points difference between the main team and the 30 substitute team.
Billups was really convinced. He felt that Lin Yi was the scariest teammate he had ever played with. If it was just about scoring, maybe Anthony was better than Lin Yi, but Lin Yi's style of play was too smart.
What makes Billups admire even more is Livingston, because when Billups comes, he will take away Livingston's main position, but it seems that Livingston doesn't care?
"Sean, congratulations on your recovery so smoothly." Billups said to Livingston.
Livingston was really reborn from the ashes. He hit with the back of his hand, and Billups couldn't guard against it anyway.
"Thank you, cheers for tomorrow's game, Chauncey." Livingston said with a smile.
"Wait, Sean, do you mind the starting thing?" Billups asked curiously.
Livingston spread his hands: "Hey, Chauncey, I was originally a fake starter, and I played a bigger role in the bench lineup. If it weren't for the Knicks coaching staff and Lin, I might still be lying in a hospital bed now!"
Billups: "."
This Knicks team is really strong.
If it's just defense, Billups doesn't think that the Pistons that won the championship that year will definitely beat the Knicks. Tony Allen, Battier, and Tyson Chandler not only have athletic ability, but also have a high IQ. They don't rely on brute force or small moves to defend.
Rely entirely on your own reading comprehension of the game.
Moreover, the Knicks' offense was much better than that of the Pistons. Billups found that the Knicks' transition offense was extremely resolute, and anyone would dare to shoot as long as there was an opportunity.
The most important thing is that Lin Yi's image doesn't match his stats. This is a player who averaged more than 20 shots per game, but after the 20 minutes of offensive and defensive drills, Lin Yi also took 14 shots.
"It's great to be in New York!" Billups thought.
