Chapter 186 Under Oklahoma City, 3 British Fight Lin Yi! (1st update!)
Chapter 186 Under Oklahoma City, Sanying Fights Lin Yi! (First update!)
Perhaps because Oklahoma City really has nothing to do, Gallinari woke up very early today. When he attended the team training class in the morning, Knicks coach D'Antoni even took Gallinari aside for a separate criticism.
Look at you, if you can be so energetic every morning, wouldn't you worry about being an All-Star?
Lin Yi saw this scene, and suddenly felt that Gallinari should be sent to the Thunder to be teammates with Harden?
These two definitely have something in common.
Of course, the above is purely a joke.
For tonight's game, the Knicks adjusted the starting lineup. The team's sixth player, Louis Williams, was put on the starting lineup. Lu Wei was very excited about this. After all, compared to the sixth man, a hot-blooded young man like Lu Wei, of course, prefers to start!
In addition, the veteran Harrington will also appear in the starting list of the Knicks tonight. Gallinari, who has been starting before, is very depressed. This Italian handsome guy secretly came to ask Lin Yi if he really made D'Antoni angry.
"Come on, Danilo, don't you make the coach angry less often? In this game, you are more effective as a substitute. This is a tactical requirement." Lin Yi touched Gallinari's head. Such a handsome person must be bald. Maybe it's a feeling in his heart?Lin Yi felt that Gallinari's hair seemed to be missing a lot on the top of his head.
Four and a half hours before the start of the game, the Knicks players had their last pre-match meal. They are prone to sleepiness after eating, and some players in the NBA are also "rectal".
……
Oklahoma City, Ford Center, which has not yet been renamed the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Speaking of the Thunder, they have to mention their boss Clay Bennett.
The team owner is a native of the Russian village, and he dreams of having an NBA team of his own in Oklahoma City.
Originally, Bennett's plan was to eat away at the Spurs slowly, but he didn't expect to be seen through by the witty Spurs. Otherwise, Oklahoma City might have already had an NBA team.
Of course, as a price for withdrawing his shares, Bennett asked for Presti from the Spurs. Presti is definitely a "cheater". In addition to choosing a group of potential rookies for the Thunder, during the Spurs period, it was under his strong suggestion that the Spurs selected Tony Parker, one of the future "GDP" in the 2001 NBA draft.
Having said that, after the Spurs failed to "take over", under Stern's promotion, Bennett successfully acquired the Seattle SuperSonics.
After Canada, he came to Seattle and was unwilling to build a new basketball stadium, so Bennett began to plan a grand plan to relocate the team.
If you want to move, of course you have to move back to your hometown.
The fans in Oklahoma City are very enthusiastic. When the Hornets encountered Hurricane Katrina, the Hornets moved to Oklahoma City for a short period of time.
Later, the facts also proved that although Oklahoma City is small, their fans are definitely good fans.
When the Thunder play at home, there is a special practice, that is, unless the home team completes the first down, the Thunder fans at home will never sit down.
The Knicks' record so far this season is 28 wins and 8 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference, while the Thunder is 23 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference.
"Charles, people say that Kevin and Lin are two future fighters. Kevin is the league's scoring leader so far this season, while Lin has led New York to become a strong team in the Eastern Conference. Which of these two do you think you are more optimistic about?" TNT TV, Kenny Smith asked.
Barkley said: "These two are very characteristic. Kevin has fully opened up this season. His style of play is very mobile, and opponents will always have headaches when defending."
"What about Lin? His style of play is similar to Kevin's, and it will always create a dislocation between the opponent and him. It can be said that both of them are very strong, and they will definitely become superstars in the future." Barkley does not take sides with anyone, and is determined not to give Kenny Smith a chance to take revenge.
Kenny Smith is not in a hurry, he believes that Barkley, as "Lin Chuan", will definitely show his feet in this game.
Seeing James Harden again at the Ford Center Arena, Lin Yi found that Harden's beard had already taken shape in the future, and that "stupid and cute" fat man finally started to walk on the road of "big beard".
As the sixth man of the Thunder, Harden averaged about 25.8 minutes per game this season, scoring 9.9 points, 3.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
No matter who guesses now, they don't think that the three Thunder can become MVPs in the future, right?
Presti's vision in choosing people is really... tsk tsk, if you choose an MVP every year, if the Thunder's owner is replaced by Dolan, can this Thunder team dominate the league?
Westbrook, who was humming Taylor's new song, didn't like Lin Yi very much. In his heart, he still liked Griffin's big dunks, but Westbrook would not take the words of head coach Brooks as a deaf ear. The Thunder's tactic in this game was to encircle and consume Lin Yi.
Looking at Durant who glanced at Lin Yi from time to time, Westbrook felt that he had an obligation to encourage his good buddy.
"Kevin, you are much better than him." Westbrook patted Durant on the back.
Although sometimes he doesn't like Westbrook's character, Durant has to admit that this guy is quite good as a teammate.
"Thank you." There was a smile on Durant's face.
He himself didn't think he was worse than Lin Yi.
But popularity. Why is it so far behind?
It is said that after the results of the second round of NBA voting came out, the total number of votes for this guy has exceeded 300 million.
Durant asked Harden more than once what kind of player Lin Yi is.
Every time Durant asks this question, Harden will look up at the sky, "It seems that he always attracts people's attention and steals all the limelight."
Today is no exception!
Lin Yi performed an elegant gliding dunk during the warm-up, which attracted the screams of many Thunder fans in the Ford Center. Now Lin Yi is a bit like the future Ku Hao, and he will have his own fans wherever he goes.
Of course, fans of the Thunder will definitely lean towards Durant, just saying that if you put aside your position, everyone is really looking forward to his performance in this year's Dallas All-Star Game...
The TV broadcast screen has given the starting lineup of the two teams tonight.
For the Knicks: Lin Yi, David Lee, Harrington, Chandler, Louis Williams.
Thunder side: Krstic, Jeff Green, Durant, Sefolosha, Westbrook.
"It's really luxurious!" Looking at Ibaka and Harden sitting on the Thunder bench, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"The Knicks adjusted their starting lineup today?" Kenny Smith said.
"It seems that the Knicks are well prepared. D'Antoni always likes to surprise this season." Barkley said.
Raiders indeed.
Thunder coach Brooks also looked sideways. He didn't expect the Knicks to start with Louis Williams tonight.
Brooks has studied the Knicks video and knows that Lu Wei is a strong offensive and defensive player. Let Lu Wei limit Westbrook in the starting lineup?
Doesn't this mean letting Lu Wei die?
As for Harrington, Brooks thinks it is good to use an old future to limit Durant, "This is not a surprise soldier, is it? Is there something wrong with D'Antoni's brain?"
Brooks looked at his assistants and said, although the outside world said that this Thunder team is Durant's team, but Brooks knew that Westbrook should not be underestimated. As long as Westbrook can bring up the speed, the Thunder team is equivalent to two swords on the court.
"Russell, you're underestimated!" the Thunder's substitutes joked with Westbrook.
Westbrook has a good relationship with other Thunder players on the team, and everyone often jokes with each other.
It's no secret that Lu Wei's defense is poor. The Knicks arranged for Lu Wei to defend Westbrook tonight, and then focus on deploying defense against Durant. No matter how you look at it, Westbrook was underestimated by the Knicks.
"Just wait." Westbrook sneered, and he made up his mind that he must let the Knicks see how good he is.
The starting five tigers of the two teams have come to the field and are ready to start the game.
……
The "prepared" Knicks easily won the jump ball. Krstic couldn't compete with Lin Yi. The Thunder fans at home stood and watched the game as usual. Although Oklahoma City is not a big city, Oklahoma City fans are really intimidating.
In the first attack of the Knicks' opening game, Jeff Green was defending Lin Yi on the Thunder's side.
Green, Durant and Westbrook went to watch the battle between Speed and the Wildcats last year. To be honest, Green is also more optimistic about Griffin, but I didn't expect that after only one year, Lin Yi has become a player who can be compared with Durant.
Green defended very seriously. Before leaving the Thunder, he was the third firepower of the Thunder.
That is to say, in this talented Thunder team, Jeff Green is inconspicuous. After all, the nickname of the talented team is not randomly given by the fans.
On the Knicks side, Lu Wei dribbled the ball and passed it to Lin Yi after halftime.
At the same time, Lu Wei also noticed that Westbrook looked at him in an unfriendly way.
"Have I offended him?" Lu Wei was a little puzzled. Westbrook was famous for his defense in college. He has excellent physical fitness and excellent athletic ability.
Durant, who was guarding Harrington, watched the one-on-one between Lin Yi and Jeff Green from the corner of his eye. Lin Yi signaled that David Lee didn't need to pick and roll, and the Knicks center slipped to the high post to play head-on. It was no longer news.
Boom, boom, boom!
Lin Yi made a probing step, and Jeff Green took a step back. After gaining space to dribble, Lin Yi dribbled the ball as if singing in a song: Let's swing together~ Let's swing together~!
Thanks to Jeff Green, who is a small forward in the coat of a power forward, he moves with good speed and returns quickly. Otherwise, just now, Jeff Green admitted that Lin Yi might overwhelm him.
Now there are still videos of the four who were knocked down by Lin Yi on the YouTube.
The fans affectionately called them the "Four Heavenly Kings"!
Jeff Green didn't want to be one of them, but the moment Jeff Green regained his footing, the Thunder fans at the Ford Center uttered an exclamation.!
