The Knicks have had trouble after returning to New York.
The reason was that the team's starting point guard Tony Douglas had a sprained ankle in the morning training session.
Lin Yi actually persuaded Douglas long ago, let him control the training volume, do not practice so hard.
But since Chris Duhon left, Douglas has been the Knicks' starting defender. Although his playing time is far less than Louis Williams, Douglas feels that his opportunity is coming and he must grasp it.
Didn't see Lin Yi practice so hard every day? The Knicks are still playing so hard. Douglas doesn't want to live up to the team's trust in him, so this unlucky kid keeps practicing every day.
Don't look at Douglas' short playing time, he knows his talent is limited, so he tries to do his best on both ends of the offense and defense.
The Knicks have not suffered any major injuries this season. It is very lucky. Douglas's sprain is not fatal, but the team doctor still recommends that he rest for 4 to 6 weeks.
Douglas looked frustrated. The Knicks coach D'Antoni discussed with the three assistants after the morning training session. Everyone thought that Lou Wei was better off the bench.
"Dodge, play against the Bulls tonight, get ready, you start first." When D'Antoni said to himself, Dodge Norris was stunned.
He kept pointing his fingers, repeatedly confirming that the head coach was not joking with him.
"I'm going to start! I'm going to start!" Excited Dodge Norris hurriedly called his brother Mucinoris, and then kept texting his relatives and friends.
Starting, the sky will really fall out of the pie?
In order to live up to the expectations of the coaching staff, Dodge Norris found Lin Yi as soon as possible.
"Boss, how should I fight at night?" Although Dodge Norris was 8 years older than Lin Yi, Lin Yi was his boss in his eyes.
The marginal man who has worked hard in the summer league and NBDL for many years can get the Knicks contract in the summer, largely because of Lin Yi's recommendation.
In the summer, Dodge Norris listened to Lin Yi and practiced defensively and three-pointers. He was not tall, only 180 centimeters, light weight, only 75 kg.
You know, it's too difficult for a 180 cm player to prove himself in the NBA, but Dodge has never been lazy.
He was optimistic by nature, so when he learned that the Knicks were willing to give him a base salary contract, Dodge Norris thought that Lin Yi had a kindness to rebuild himself.
Dodge is the typical dead-headed, and when he recognized Lin Yi as the boss, he hugged Lin Yi's thigh tightly.
So in the preseason, after seeing Lin Yi stepping on the ground, Dodger decisively shot, and he and Elbaron also won the title of "Lin's bodyguards".
At that time, Dodge Norris felt that he was finished, because he had to be suspended for 30 games, and in most cases he would be cut by the Knicks.
But what Dodger didn't expect was that not only was he not laid off, but Lin Yi also paid him a fine.
And now, he is going to start in the game against the Bulls tonight.
So after Dodge's hi-pi in the beginning, he immediately thought of asking the boss's opinion.
This season, Dodge Norris has played 7 times on behalf of the Knicks after returning from the ban. He has averaged 1.8 points and 1.1 assists per game, and is full of water dispenser administrator data.
"You're fast, you usually have good gears during training. If you are against Derek, try to entangle him as much as possible. Don't give him an easy shot. Derek has average shooting ability, and you are here, even if he wants You ca n’t stop the pull, so do n’t think about preventing him from death, just harass him like a fly. ”It really is D'Antoni in Lin Yi ’s memory. Do n’t look at the old man who likes to kill the main force, and use bold At this point, he can definitely count in the NBA.
In Yi Yi's memory, the season when Lin Shuhao played, the Knicks' guard was injured. At that time, it was widely believed that the Knicks would seek a deal or sign an old future transition, but D'Antoni waved directly and directly Lin Shuhao's appearance Time increased to 30 minutes per game.
In the Suns, Stoudemire was injured. People thought that the Suns had to make up for the post. As a result, D'Antoni directly promoted Dior and played a good record with the combination of Dior and Marion.
D'Antoni is just such a person. His main force is not fake, but he is also very good at tapping potential in the team. The phrase "the strongest person is already in the line" applies to D'Antoni.
D'Antoni knew very well that Lowell was more suitable for the bench. Dodge Norris 'ability was almost, but the attitude was good. There were three points. The Knicks' guard now only needs to pass the ball to Lin Yi halfway, even if it is not too Lao De really wanted to let Lin Yi play the point guard first.
Dodge Norris took every word of Lin Yi into his heart. This is the first start of his career. Douglas has to be out for a while. If he can seize the opportunity, he will definitely increase a lot of playing in the future. time.
Dodger is eager for a stable contract. The NBA is so cruel. It seems that the superstars can easily make a lot of money, but more people are trying their best for a basic salary.
...
Madison Square Garden.
Tonight's Knicks continue to play against the Bulls. The previous defeat defeated the Bulls' generals, especially Ross. Ross thought about it tonight. If 26 points can't let the Bulls beat the Knicks, then he will Take 30 points and 40 points.
Elizabeth Olsen came to watch the game today, and Lin Yi also noticed that Taylor Swift and Scarlett Johnson were also here.
New York is indeed a land of feng shui, so Lin Yi stepped forward to greet the three girls in the eyes of his teammates' envy and envy.
"Lin, I'll come to you next offseason, will you teach me how to play basketball?" Scarlett Johnson looked up at Lin Yi. Lin Yi felt that sooner or later he would be killed by fans of "wife sisters" "Wisdom Sister" becomes my little fan girl, what should I do? Wait online, very anxious ...
"Lin, I want to learn to play basketball too!" Taylor Swift said as he looked down at Scarlett, as if to say, you are too short to play.
crooked! Can you take care of my own feelings!
I want to train, I want to play!
Basketball is my life!
Aside from the Knicks' bench, Galinari looked at the scene thoughtfully: "Maybe I finally know why Lin is single."
David Lee came up curiously: "Why?"
"A man like him is useless even if he is handsome. He is destined to live alone." Gallinari said.
Elizabeth Olsen suddenly felt that he had no advantage compared to Taylor and Scarlett. Now Lin Yi's popularity is simply terrible. Olson felt as if he and Lin Yi were drifting away.
No, how can you give up like this? Elizabeth Olsen suddenly remembered the hamster and the two halves.
"Lin, I'll come to you when I'm free. Let's walk the dog together." That's right! I also have an advantage they don't have, thought Elizabeth Olsen.
Lin Yi: "..."
TNT television, Barkley said, "Lin Ke is really popular with girls. Do you think Durant will ask him to duel?"
Kenny Smith laughed abruptly: "I don't think so, because Lin can bottle Scarlett's bath water with mineral water bottles, so Durant can get his wish."
On the court, this pair of TNT crosstalk also noticed that the Knicks adjusted their starting tonight.
"Douglas' injury should have some impact on the Knicks. Let's see if their starting point guard Dodge Norris is up to the task tonight." Buckley said.
...
Dodge Norris was a little panicked during the show.
This is Madison Square Garden.
Dodge Norris looked up admiringly at Lin Yi beside him.
He is playing on such a stage every night.
Especially when Lin Yi appeared, the entire Madison Square Garden seemed to have suffered an earthquake.
Dodge felt a little flustered.
At this moment, Lin Yi's big hand suddenly touched his head.
"Relax, just like training. Give me a shot when you have no chance. Give it to me without a shot." Lin Yi told him.
At this moment, Dodge Norris felt that Lin Yi had a light on his head.
"I'll work hard, boss!" Dodge Norris clenched his fists.
"Come on! Pistachios!" Galinari patted Dodge Norris on the shoulder.
"Don't admit it, you are the one who dares to take Lin Kaiyu in the locker room." David Lee said to him with a smile.
"Relax, it doesn't matter if you lose your position, I can defend against two." Chandler said, walking further and further down the 3D road.
And the sidelines, D'Antoni's kind eyes.
Dodge felt tears rolling in his eyes.
Can play in this Knicks.
It's great.
After taking a deep breath, Dodge walked onto the court with his teammates.
He saw Derrick Rose.
Chicago's Heavenly Pride.
The shortest draft pick in the NBA in the past 13 years.
The No. 1 pick was the **** in Dodge's mind: Allen Iverson.
"Compared to him, it is one heaven, one underground?" Dodge laughed mockingly.
But he did not retreat.
Because he has a bunch of good teammates.
...
"Game start!"
Along with Lin Yi's success in jumping the ball, Dodge rushed to the point where the basketball rushed. He steadily guarded the ball forward. Basketball was like his child. He did not allow anyone to **** the basketball from him.
"Good sense of oppression." Rose's defense is not the best among defenders, but such top players always can't help emitting a kind of gas field ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Especially tonight Rose is red Eyed bull.
Lin Yi mentioned the high position to dodge the pick and roll.
Dodge felt that at this moment, he couldn't hear anything, as if he were deaf.
He dribbled the ball carefully and pushed from the other side. Lin Yi's pick-and-roll quality was very high. Rose couldn't keep up, and Noah's change of defense was slow!
"That's it!" Dodge didn't hesitate.
Before this game, he once asked Lin Yi, when was the peak moment of Lin Yi.
61 points in three quarters? Or four doubles? Or is it the dunk contest champion? All-Star Game MVP?
Dodge is really envious of these monsters who not only love basketball, but also have such talent.
"Lin, do you know, the highlight of my career is today."
"Because I can also tell my children in the future, your dad once started in the NBA, and your dad used to be a teammate with a great player like Lin!"
Dodge's shooting posture is not standard, and even a bit crooked.
But in the summer, he accelerated his shot.
He knows that a small man like him must shoot faster to not be blocked.
As the basketball flew towards the hoop, Dodge clenched his fist subconsciously.
唰 ——!
"Good job." When teammates patted their shoulders one by one, Dodge looked around excitedly.
As the cheers rose for a while, Dodge Norris stared firmly at Derrick Rose.
Maybe I'm nothing in front of you.
But I also have something I want to defend.
I love basketball.
And be crazy about it.
I am willing to give everything for it.
