Chapter 92 Come to a Match! Donaldson Mulberry

Because today is a media day, the Knicks coaching staff did not arrange any technical and tactical training.

Today's main content is to take pictures, chat and see if everyone has practiced hard in summer.

Lin Yi saw Eddie Curry in the Knicks' basketball gymnasium, who was almost fat. They were also called Curry. Why is there such a big gap?

Eddie Curry let alone run now, Lin Yi felt that he was struggling to walk.

There is also Darko Milicic with dull eyes. After the trade came to New York, Milicic couldn't get excited at all. The second place pick of the 03 golden generation has long been smoothed by time and time.

Although he hasn't changed his career to be a boxer or a farmer, Milicic's mentality is already very Buddhist.

Jared Jeffries is very familiar, and chats with Lin Yi whenever he has the opportunity. Jeffries can make a living as a blue-collar worker, but if you match his salary of 6.47 million US dollars, you will feel that you are losing money.

The salary risk at this time is no better than a few years later, when Jeffries' contract overflows no matter how you look at it.

Lin Yi is very curious about whether the butterfly effect he brought will change New York's trade this season. According to Lin Yi's memory, New York will trade Jeffries and Curry for McGrady this season, because McGrady's contract is an expired contract. , New York hopes to free up salary space to prepare for the big fish in the 10-year free market.

Although he no longer has the courage of the past, after all, McGrady is also a star that Lin Yi has chased after.

El Baron, who was just signed by the Knicks, played with Lin Yi during the summer league, and they are not familiar with each other.

Looking at the insiders of the Knicks, Lin Yi really felt wronged for D'Antoni. In his previous life, D'Antoni was able to win 29 games with such a lineup, which is not easy!

Or say the Knicks are rotten apples?

However, this Knicks team is not without bright spots. Danilo Gallinari is a good outside shooter. In Lin Yi's memory, Gallinari, who adapted to the NBA three-point line in the 2009/10 season, can contribute 15.1 points per game. He averages 6 three-pointers per game and can hit 2.3. Although he is not very good defensively at the small forward position, he will not suffer too much due to his height.

In addition, there is David Lee. If David Lee does not look at defense, he is a power forward with excellent offensive ability. Wei Li played 20 plus 10 in the 2009/10 season and is one of the most reliable teammates in this Knicks team.

In addition, there is Al Harrington. Harrington, who can swing on the forward position, has a three-pointer. He can play singles with the ball and can also be a spot-up shooter.

Coupled with the excellent athletic ability of Wilson Chandler, this summer Chandler listened to D'Antoni's words and worked hard on two corner three-pointers, hoping to transform into a high-quality 3D and play a big contract.

The only ones New York can play are the above. Larry Hughes, Tony Douglas, Chris Duhon, Lin Yi gets a headache when he hears it.

Gallinari is the one who performed the hardest on the media day. In the new season, there are not many outsiders in New York. He is eager to be in the top position, but Gallinari's English is not as good as Lin Yi's.

However, sometimes it is good to be handsome, at least besides Lin Yi, he is the Knicks player most interested in by the New York media.

When the whole team took a group photo, D'Antoni arranged for Lin Yi to stand in the middle. There are no big-name players in this New York team. New York General Manager Donnie Walsh wants to catch big fish in the free market next year, so he doesn't want to stay with David Lee or Harrington. .

David Lee and Gallinari stood next to Lin Yi from left to right. David Lee didn't say anything. He was not favored when he entered the NBA. As a white floor player, he was able to achieve today's results It has been very difficult.

Gallinari is very happy. This handsome Italian likes to play under D'Antoni. International players generally don't move away easily.

Gallinari has fallen in love with the city of New York and is eager to stay here.

After the group photo was over, the reporters surrounded Lin Yi.

Lin Yi briefly answered the questions from the media. Although the Knicks traded for Lin Yi in the draft, many media still look down on New York.

After all, not everyone is a time traveler.

On paper, this New York team really sucks.

During the media day, Lin Yi also met Javier Stanford. The number one Lin Mi has accepted the invitation of Donnie Walsh. Back then, New York owner Dolan chose Thomas instead of him. Now he is hired as the vice president of the team. The manager is also a kind of compensation.

Lin Yi communicated with Javier. For Lin Yi, Javier's entry into the New York management team is good news. He can help Lin Yi interfere with the future choices of the New York Knicks.

The most distraught member of the current management is Isaiah Thomas. Donnie Walsh has deprived him of all his rights, and now he is a soy sauce in the Knicks uniform.

Moreover, New York Knicks fans and the media hate Isaiah Thomas to the bone. If it weren't for Thomas's bad contracts, New York would not be so miserable.

On the 11th, the Knicks organized fans to come to watch the team's first training session of the new season.

"Don, I choose 7 players, you choose 7 players, how about we have a five-on-five match? Let me see if your coaching level has improved." Mike D'Antoni was in a good mood, patting the team's third assistant coach Donaldson said over his shoulder.

The third assistant coach Donaldson thought to himself that you are trying to abuse me. At this moment, Donaldson suddenly recalled Lin Yi, who performed well in the summer league. pick people."

D'Antoni spread his hands and said OK.

Donaldson picked Lin Yi first, and D'Antoni was not surprised. Then Donaldson picked Gallinari, Dodge Norris, El Baron, Tony Douglas, Darkomilicic, and Marcus Landry.

After watching Donaldson's selection, D'Antoni frowned, "Are you letting me in on purpose? Don."

David Lee, Al Harrington, Wilson Chandler and Chris Duhon, who were the main players last season, did not pick Donaldson.

Donaldson shook his head, "No, I just chose a lineup I'm more familiar with."

Relying on his advantage of having brought Lin Yi in the summer league, Donaldson chose El Barron and Dodge Norris, who had played with Lin Yi in the summer league.

Tony Douglas is the best three-pointer among the Knicks' guards. Donaldson knew that to play Lin Yi's role, he had to be assigned a pitcher. As for Milicic and Landry, they were chosen for soy sauce.

D'Antoni felt that he was underestimated by the third assistant coach, so he decided to teach him a lesson.

"Listen, our strategy is to play around Lin." Donaldson pulled his pick aside.

Dodge Norris and El Baron kept nodding. They were marginal people, and they did what the coach said.

Milicic spread his hands, and seemed not to be focused on the game. When Marcus Landry heard that he hadn't arranged for himself to start, he suddenly lost interest.

Tony Douglas wants to compete for the main point guard in the new season. He knows the importance of building a good relationship with Lin Yi, the new favorite of the Knicks, so he has been communicating with Lin Yi about how to play the pick-and-roll after the division.

Danilo Gallinari feels that he has inexhaustible strength now, and he can't wait to start the game immediately.

After the tactics were arranged, the training match began immediately. D'Antoni wanted to educate Donaldson, so he asked the staff to prepare the scoreboard.

Fitness coach Mike Roberts and second assistant coach Joseph are responsible for blowing the referee.

The white team starts with five players: center Lin Yi, power forward El Baron, small forward Gallinari, shooting guard Dodge Norris, and point guard Tony Douglas.

The blue team starts with five players: center Jarred Jeffries, power forward David Lee, small forward Al Harrington, shooting guard Wilson Chandler, and point guard Chris Duhon.

The New York Knicks fans who were watching in the training hall cheered up. They wanted to see if Lin Yi was really as strong as the rumors said.

After all, whether it's video or news, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes!
