Chapter 155 St. Paul, Little Manning's Suggestion!
While Paul and Scott were arguing, the Knicks players were watching the farce on the Hornets bench out of the corner of their eyes.
At this time, Lin Yi suddenly said: "Don't worry about what happened to others, and take care of ourselves seriously. Even if Chris pulls out a gun and collapses Byron Scott now, it's none of our business."
The Knicks players nodded one after another and hurriedly looked away.
D'Antoni patted Lin Yi on the back in relief. Sure enough, Lin Yi has the potential to be a leader.
It's right to focus on yourself, don't worry about what happens to others.
Was the Hornets infighting? It seems to be a little earlier than Lin Yi remembered. In this case, the Knicks should win this game even more.
In the NBA, every game is extremely important. Paul doesn't like the feeling of losing, and Lin Yi doesn't like it either.
Now that the Hornets have shown their flaws, the Knicks must seize this opportunity to take them away.
...
The pause ended, and the close-up shots of the broadcast kept showing Paul and Scott. Scott had a serious face at this time, and Paul also had a serious face.
Lin Yi found that the player facing him on the field became David West.
This is what Paul meant. As Paul's staunch comrade-in-arms, David West didn't want to defend Lin Yi, but if Okafor continued to defend, the Hornets would undoubtedly lose tonight.
Scott was unwilling to make substitutions and adjustments, so this game presented a very strange scene: it was not until Okafor couldn't move in the fourth quarter that he asked Scott to replace him, and Scott made the change. First substitution of the game.
The stubborn Scott seems to want to tell Paul in this way, you are wrong, I am right, and I am the head coach of this team.
However, Paul, who has worked hard tonight, played superbly tonight. Under his leadership, the Hornets have always maintained the point difference with the Knicks.
Sure enough, it was the Paul in Lin Yi's memory, the St. Paul who said: "If you don't win this warrior team, what's the point?"
In order to win, Paul can do whatever he can. He is proficient in small moves and trash talk. He doesn't need statistics, and he can also be ridiculed.
he pursued,
It's just a victory.
"Dirty Cannon" is the nickname given to Paul by many Paul blacks, but "Sao Paulo" is also a nickname recognized by many Paul blacks. There are no good guys in the NBA, and good guys can't survive here.
When Paul hit a three-pointer in the fourth quarter and kept narrowing the gap, Lin Yi's memory seemed to be brought to the Western Conference finals of the 17/18 season...
Paul's desire to win tonight is extremely strong, but the Knicks' team plays better offensively, and sufficient physical strength allows the Knicks to perfectly deal with the Hornets' counterattack.
117 to 108, when the time in the fourth quarter was zero, Paul, who had played for 48 minutes, was panting heavily with his hands on his knees. He was so tired that he was about to fall to the ground, but he still stood.
He is not tall, but at this moment he looks very tall.
The home fans stood up and applauded Paul. Yes, the Hornets lost tonight, and the video of Okafor being knocked down by Lin Yi may be complained on YouTube for a long time, but for the Hornets fans, they saw The leading star played his life like going back to chase points.
Nobody is going to take Scott's side, and yet Scott is the guy who thinks he's right when the world thinks he's wrong.
After the game, Scott only left one sentence in an interview: "I am the head coach of this team, as long as the players do what I say, we will definitely make it to the playoffs."
Lin Yi didn't know if the Hornets could make it to the playoffs, but Lin Yi knew that Scott would definitely not be able to continue with the Hornets.
In this game, Paul tied his career high scoring record with 43 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists.
After the game, Paul asked for Lin Yi's phone number.
"It was a great game, Chris." Lin Yi said looking at Paul who was much shorter than himself.
"Yes, it's a pity that some people don't think so." Paul smiled self-deprecatingly, "I wish you good luck in the next game."
"The same to you!"
...
After the game with the Hornets, the Knicks ushered in another three-day holiday.
On December 13, CCTV sent reporters to record a 30-second short video for Lin Yi. This short video was mainly used to solicit votes for Lin Yi.
The All-Star voting for this season has already started, and the almighty Chinese fans are looking forward to Lin Yi being able to roll to the All-Star starter in his rookie season like Yao.
After recording the canvassing video, Lin Yi also accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV. This interview is relatively short and the content is relatively simple. CCTV knows that the report must be done step by step and shown to fans bit by bit, so as to ensure Lin Yi's popularity.
On the 13th, the Knicks did not arrange a training session. In Lin Yi’s memory, a reporter once conducted a survey and asked NBA players when they were most exhausted in a season. Most players chose the period from the end of December to the end of January. time.
Therefore, reasonable training arrangements can ensure that a team's physical fitness is always in a state of abundance.
Lin Yi practiced dribbling and shooting in the basketball hall in his villa. After the ankle terminator badge was upgraded to gold, Lin Yi's sense of the ball has also been improved.
Constantly summing up, raising one's upper limit on the basis of a stable lower limit is Lin Yi's key topic in the next stage.
...
"Hi Lin!"
"Hi Eli!"
On the afternoon of the 14th, after finishing the morning training session, Lin Yi made an appointment with New York Giants star quarterback Eli Manning to teach him how to play basketball this afternoon. Both Lin Yi and Eli Manning believe that sports are interconnected Eli Manning also taught Lin Yi some black technology about long throws. Although rugby and basketball have different shapes, it has to be said that even if Eli Manning uses basketball for long throws, his accuracy is still amazing.
Moreover, Eli Manning also taught Lin Yi some ways to protect himself and strengthen confrontation. Quarterback is not the strongest position in football, but it must be the position that needs wisdom and how to protect itself the most.
Eli Manning also told Lin Yi that he had begun to encourage Giants fans to vote for Lin Yi.
"I really want to see you in the All-Star Game. Hey, Lin, if you have the chance, would you participate in the dunk contest?" Eli Manning had already seen Lin Yi's various fancy dunks in the afternoon .
I have to say that Lin Yi's dunk is very aesthetic.
Slam dunk contest?
Lin Yi really didn't think about this issue.
But if there is a chance, Lin Yi really wants to participate in the slam dunk contest. The most important thing is that he wants to use the ideas of Zach Raven and Aaron Gordon in advance. Those two are supermen. Lin Yi is very curious If he uses these ideas in advance, what new tricks will LaVine and Gordon come up with if they have the opportunity to stage the duel of the century again?
Eli Manning's words hit the point. Since he wants to be the first player in NBA history, how can he do without the slam dunk contest champion?
Taking advantage of those tough men not yet in the NBA, Lin Yi made a decisive decision.
So the next day, Lin Yi slipped out of the house and went to the media for interviews.
