Chapter 270: Predestined! Mad Dog Is Here to Help!
Just like last year, the Knicks' Summer League this year is still led by assistant coach Donaldson. As a result, Donaldson really found a surprise in this fight!
That is Jeremy Lin.
After discussing with his agent Montgomery, Jeremy Lin joined the Knicks' Summer League team and averaged 18.9 points and 5.1 assists in the six games he played!
Donaldson, like D'Antoni, both like this kind of guard who can break through. Donaldson felt that he had found a treasure, but when Donaldson was about to recommend it to the Knicks, Donaldson found that the Knicks' roster had basically been determined.
Moreover, the Knicks had too many defenders, so Donaldson immediately explained the situation to head coach D'Antoni.
After D'Antoni watched the video, he also felt that Jeremy Lin was a talent to make, but there was no way. The Knicks' guard line is too bloated now, so D'Antoni didn't take Jeremy Lin seriously.
Lao De, who was Jeremy Lin in his previous life, is now studying how the Knicks should line up for the new season. Donaldson has no choice but to recommend to Lin Yi, because he knows that as long as Lin Yi nods, the Knicks will definitely agree to sign. Down Jeremy Lin.
After Lin Yi communicated with Donaldson, he suddenly felt a guilty conscience, ah bah, it's obvious that he's showing off in the dark, how could he be guilty of a villain?
After all, this is the genuine "Lin Madness". Jeremy Lin has a strong breakthrough ability, and playing pick-and-rolls with Lin Yi can give full play to his speed advantage.
It's a pity that the Knicks already have Louis Williams on the bench. Jeremy Lin's defense is a big problem. The three-pointer is unstable and he can't be the main force.
The other most important thing is that Lin Yi knows that Stern is happy to see himself become stronger, but he absolutely does not want to see the Knicks become an all-Chinese team. Although Jeremy Lin is of Chinese descent, he is yellow-skinned and black-haired after all. .
However, Lin Yi still carefully watched the video sent by Donaldson, and he found a surprise in the end!
"Isn't this Beverly?" Lin Yi couldn't help but looked up at the sky, Yuan, it's really wonderful.
Lin Yi remembers that it was Beverly who put Jeremy Lin on the bench when he was in the Rockets. Beverly, who was nicknamed "Mad Dog", played his defense hard. It has caused countless super defenders a headache.
Is it destined that Beverly will take another chance from Jeremy Lin?
To be honest, after the Knicks waived El Baron, there is indeed a spot, which is available or not for the Knicks.
But Beverly's appearance moved Lin Yi's heart.
The most important reason why Beverly is nicknamed "Mad Dog" is that even if this guy is blown up, he can still bite you with high spirits!
So the question is, do the Knicks need Beverley to attack?
Of course not!
Lin Yi even made up the picture in his brain. When facing the Heat, the Heat played a pick-and-roll, but found that no matter how they played, they couldn't form a dislocation!
You must know Beverly's mad dog character, even if he is against Janeway, he can't guard against it and it can make Janeway feel uncomfortable.
And Beverly will also be in the NBA's best defensive team in the future. Is the Knicks really going to gather all the "Dragon Balls" to summon the dragon?
"Don, how is Patrick doing?" Lin Yi remembered that Beverly was supposed to sign with the Heat this season. After he couldn't play, he returned to Europe to play for two years. Could it be his own butterfly? The effect caused Beverly to be cut by the Heat in advance?
Lin Yi felt that it was time for him to pay attention to the news, otherwise he, who had been practicing hard, would be easily abandoned by the times!
"Basically, I played 6 games, all off the bench, averaging 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game." Of course, Donaldson looked down on Beverly. Beverly didn't make a breakthrough. Physical fitness is not considered top-notch among black players. Apart from his hardworking attitude, Beverly really has no advantages.
Lin Yi thought about it, because there are really no suitable players in the free market now, but if there is a choice between Beverly and Jeremy Lin, Lin Yi prefers Beverly.
The reason is simple. The Knicks really need players like "Mad Dog". When it comes time to fight the bayonet, people like Beverly will never be cowardly.
If the Knicks set their sights on the playoffs or even the finals, they must have such a headache player. Beverly may not be able to prevent the opponent's core guards, but his existence is just like Uncle Bao. .
Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Uncle Bao's age, and the Knicks already had a bunch of defensive frontlines, Lin Yi really wanted the Knicks to get Uncle Bao.
Donaldson, the third assistant coach of the Knicks, never expected that he was here to recommend Jeremy Lin. Why did the Knicks want to sign Beverly?
You must know that Beverly himself was ready to pack up and play in Europe. After all, he also needs to survive. He played poorly in the Summer League. He believes that no team in the NBA is willing to sign him.
But at this time, the Knicks extended an olive branch to him?
This is New York!
But a strong team in the playoffs!
According to Lin Yi's suggestion, Donny Walsh only gave Beverly a non-guaranteed basic salary. People like "Mad Dog" don't need a corporal. This kind of non-guarantee will stimulate him even more and make him eager to stay in the Knicks .
"It's Lin's idea to sign you!" Donny Walsh didn't forget to establish Lin Yi's image in the locker room. After all, Donny Walsh heard from the teaching assistants that Beverly is not a good boy.
Of course, Beverly knew Lin Yi's great reputation, and at the same time he was grateful to Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart, because he knew that if it wasn't for Lin Yi, he would have to go to Europe.
Even if Europe gets more money than the NBA, who doesn't want to stay in the NBA?
Many people call the NBA the land of dreams, but how many people have never even stepped into the door of the NBA?
What surprised Beverly even more was that Lin Yi called him himself.
"Practice the top arc and two 45-degree three-pointers. The Knicks don't need you to handle the ball, and you don't need you to break through. You just need to take the ball across the half court and shoot three-pointers. You need to know Where is your advantage, Patrick, the Knicks need a mad dog that can bite opponents all over!" Lin Yi said to Beverly on the phone.
Beverly is even more grateful to Lin Yi. You must know that a small shrimp like him can hug Lin Yi's thigh, which is really a challenge. Since Lin Yi has said so, then Beverly is willing to be Lin Yi's mad dog .
"No problem! Boss, I am very confident in defense!" Beverly believed that hard work can make up for weakness. After hanging up the phone, he briefly celebrated with his agent and went to practice three-pointers and lateral movement.
God rewards hard work, Beverly's counterattack road in Lin Yi's memory was already very bumpy, but his desperate efforts will definitely stimulate other Knicks players.
In the new season, want to mix playing time with the Knicks?
It's very simple, the playing time is here, come and get it!
The Knicks players all obeyed Lin Yiyan. Apart from Lin Yi's own influence, it had something to do with the leadership he showed last season.
And the more they are looked down upon by the outside world, the more eager they are to prove themselves.
The only thing Lin Yi is worried about now is that these people are fighting too hard. It is not fun to fight the regular season as a playoff, because it will easily become the public enemy of the league.
After hanging up the phone with Beverly, Lin Yi also asked for Jeremy Lin's contact information, "Jeremy, the Knicks lineup can't sign you, but I hope you know that it's not because of your lack of strength, but because We have better options, and I suggest you go to the Golden State and try it!"
If Lin Yi remembers correctly, Jeremy Lin played for the Warriors for a period of time in the 10/11 season, and history has been changed by him, but he believes that Jeremy Lin can prove himself even if he changes places.
Jeremy Lin wasn't discouraged either. On the contrary, Lin Yi took the initiative to contact him, which made him very happy. He had heard of Lin Yi's name a long time ago. As more and more people of yellow race proved that they could gain a foothold in the NBA, Jeremy Lin was even more confident. Full.
"If you don't mind, you can come to me for special training when you have time." Lin Yi finally said to Jeremy Lin.
It's a pity that New York is destined to be unable to form the "Shuanglin" combination, because the Knicks no longer need any gimmicks to hype.
Upgrading, becoming stronger, and then competing for the supreme glory when these heroes are competing is the future positioning of the Knicks.
Of course, Lin Yi is also very clear-headed. The Knicks may still not have a high chance of winning the championship next season, but this group of iron-blooded boys will definitely make those who think they have achieved great things break out in a cold sweat.
Everything is ready!
The new New York Jagged Team is coming soon!
Lin Yi feels that he is full of motivation for physical training again, MVP, no matter what happens next season, Lin Yi must get the MVP!
If you don't have the courage to fight, how can you fight for the first person?
After all, self-pity and self-pity will only stagnate, and only by doing your best can you obey the destiny!
"Speaking of it? I seem to be more handsome today?" Lin Yi said in the mirror when he woke up at four o'clock in the morning.
Sure enough, is being too good the reason why I am single?
Lin. Planting back the B tree is equivalent to not planting it. Yi.
