Chapter 142 This Melon Is Sweet
On November 11, the New York Knicks ushered in the last opponent of their three-way Western Conference: the Denver Nuggets.
As the capital and largest city of Colorado, Denver is not only famous for its "altitude", but also a famous food capital.
Lin Yi likes playing away games the most now, because he can eat and eat non-stop!
The nutritional value of the food in these high-end restaurants is no worse than that of a nutritious meal. Although Nix’s food is good, it’s all about meat. If you eat too much meat, you will still get tired!
After the training session yesterday, Lin Yi took his teammates to the Rioja restaurant in Larimer Square to have a meal on the grounds of celebrating his birthday. The chef and owner here is James_Beard award-winning chef Jennifer Jasinski. She was once named the best female chef in the United States.
This restaurant focuses on Mediterranean-style cuisine and local ingredients, with fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, and grains as the mainstays, with fresh tastes.
The Knicks team members were full of praise for the dishes here. Lin Yi thought that when he got rich, he would open a restaurant regardless of whether he lost money or not. As a member of the "big foodie country", Lin Yi really couldn't stand "American Chinese food".
……
The Pepsi Center Arena, home of the Nuggets, is known as the home of the devil in the NBA. The altitude of this stadium reaches 1606 meters, which is higher than that of the Energy Center, the home of the Utah Jazz.
Coupled with the crazy fans of the Nuggets at home, the Nuggets have maintained a high home winning percentage in recent seasons.
Before the start of the game, Lin Yi asked Harrington, a veteran of the Knicks, and Harrington told Lin Yi that the impact of the plateau must be there, but the most terrifying thing about the Nuggets at home is their atmosphere.
Lin Yi had a good look at the Pepsi Center Arena, which can accommodate 20010 people, before the start of the game. The Nuggets' home court is so terrifying!
"Hi, Lin!" Before the game started, Carmelo Anthony, the star of the Nuggets, came over to say hello to Lin Yi.
The 08 Olympics allowed Anthony to see the terrible enthusiasm of Chinese fans, so Anthony also wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Yi.
But I have to say, Anthony really has a three-point gangster atmosphere...
At that time, Anthony and James were hailed as the NBA version of the peerless twins. Unfortunately, because of Anthony's gang background, David Stern has always disliked him. After all, marijuana, gambling, prostitution, I am proficient in everything in society.
Lin Yi and Anthony hugged, and Anthony talked about Lin Yi's dribble breakthrough, "That's so cool, really, I saw the video of you shaking Anderson on the Internet, he is too unlucky."
At this time, Anthony was the real "melon", because beside him was the "Guardian", the always underestimated Chauncey Billups.
In last year's playoffs, the Nuggets who were traded to Billups surprised people. They first beat the Hornets by 58 points in the playoffs, and once again ruined Chris Paul's dream of landing in the Western Conference Finals.
Then in the second round, they dealt with the fierce Mavericks. In the Western Conference Finals, they played thrillingly against the Lakers in every game. Anthony and Kobe even staged a soaring battle in the Western Conference Finals.
Lin Yi knows that the years between the 08/09 season and the 09/10 season can be described as the brightest period of Anthony's career.
Billups is an underestimated super guard. With him in the backcourt, George Karl's defensive counterattack and fast break tactics are perfectly realized. It seems that Billups has divided Anthony's ball rights, but in fact Billups can often make Anthony form a partial one-on-one through his own ball control, running position and guidance to his teammates.
At this time, "Melon" hadn't gained weight and fat, and his athletic ability was at its peak. Billups marked him out piece after piece of singles area, and Anthony, who was not good at organization, could give full play to his offensive talent.
And with the suppression of George Karl, Anthony, who was eager to prove himself, worked hard on defense. Unfortunately, after George Karl was hospitalized, the fate of the Nuggets also ushered in a change.
Tonight is the first time the Knicks' Royal Salute goes online, and the Nuggets, a Western powerhouse, are definitely the best touchstone.
……
"Friends in front of the TV audience, good morning, everyone. I am the commentator Yang Jian. Today I will be sharing with you Mr. Su Jun Yangsu." After Yang Jian introduced today's guest commentator, countless Chinese Lin honeys expressed their disappointment, because everyone wanted to see Weiping·Lin Yi is invincible·how the guide can play Lin Yi in a fancy way.
"What does Teacher Su think of today's game?" Yang Jian asked curiously.
"Today's game is actually very interesting, because of what, the Knicks just completed a few transactions, especially the Louis Williams transaction that has been highly praised by the American media. Including Belinelli, he is actually D'Antoni's favorite pitcher player." Su Junyang said.
"Okay, we can see that now the two sides have given the starting list. The starting lineup for the Knicks is Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and Tony Douglas."
"The starting lineup for the Nuggets is Kenyon Martin, Nene, Melo Anthony, Afflalo and Billups," Yang Jian said.
"It's interesting. We can see that D'Antoni put all three new aids on the bench. This is something I didn't expect before. I thought D'Antoni would arrange for Louis Williams to start." Su Junyang said.
Denver Pepsi Center, Lin Yi and Kenyon Martin walked towards the middle circle amidst the terrible noise made by the home fans.
There was no suspense in the jump ball, and Lin Yi easily defeated Kenyon Martin, the No. 2000 pick in the [-] draft.
Kenyon Martin is an excellent defender of the penalty area, and his offense is mainly based on eating cakes. Later, after playing in the CBA, the XJ team found that Martin was not good at all, but this has something to do with Martin's style. Lin Yi will not underestimate him.
You know, this Nuggets ushered in their real spring just because they sent away Marcus Camby. If you just look at the statistics, Camby can explode many people, but in fact Camby is a big player who often loses his position in order to block shots.
In order to save energy, Lin Yi is not active in defense. He can also block 2.3 times per game. To put it bluntly, his height and wingspan are there. As long as he bets 80.00%, it is a big block.
Nene's defense is also not good, but after using Nene and Kenyon Martin in the interior, the Nuggets' defense is much better. It is conceivable how poor Camby is...
……
After the jump ball, the Knicks' first attack, Douglas held the ball, Lin Yi made a wall for his teammates on the flank, Gallinari slipped out and missed a three-pointer, and the Nuggets grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.
Billups passed the half court unhurriedly. Through his running position and command, he attracted his teammates to one side, and then quickly released the ball. Carmelo Anthony faced Gallinari.
The Nuggets lead 2-0 at the start!
Really sophisticated!
The biggest feature of Billups is that he is not fancy. Paul was taught how to be a man when he faced Billups in the playoffs last season. Billups averaged only 8.6 assists per game in his career. It is incomparable with Nash and Paul who often score in double figures. But in fact, Billups' organizational ability is not weaker than those two.
Billups is excellent both offensively and defensively. In the offense, the goal is not to pass the ball to form an assist, but to let his teammates be in a comfortable offensive rhythm by passing the ball. Anthony has benefited a lot. Billups can always form a good singles environment for him by passing the ball.
Conley and Billups of the Grizzlies in the future are very similar. Conley can play many super guards without losing. People always think that Conley has a premium contract, but in fact the Grizzlies can't play without him. Compared with Parsons, Conley is really too cheap.
The Knicks continued to hit the iron on the second attack. In turn, Billups created a singles opportunity for Anthony through some conduction. Anthony leaned on Gallinari with his back, squeezed, turned, and turned over for a jumper.
4 is better than 0!
The melons in 09 are really sweet!
……
The Knicks' third offense after the opening was finally completed. Lin Yi broke into the paint and assisted David Lee to score at the basket.
However, Lin Yi still respects Nene very much, because in the future, even if he fights alone, Nene can get a good contract in the NBA.
The Nuggets' defensive system is good. It seems to be man-to-man, but it is actually a pseudo-zone defense. George Karl knows that Lin Yi can break through, so he intends to use a pseudo-zone defense to limit Lin Yi's breakthrough and score.
Lin Yi was not in a hurry. After playing 6 minutes in the first quarter, he took a break. He didn't score a point, but only 3 assists and 3 rebounds.
The Nuggets fans in the Pepsi Center were all happy, so what if they scored 61 points in three quarters and beat the Lakers?When you arrive at our devil's home court, even if you are a dragon, you still have to crouch down!
"Lin Yi's condition is pretty average today! I don't think he's very excited." Su Junyang said.
It's a pity that Lin Yi couldn't hear the commentary from CCTV, otherwise he would have laughed.
