It's no exaggeration to say that Billups was the famous 58-minute night creator.
On the night that broke My Heart, Billups scored 17 points, 8 assists, and 3 rebounds. It looked flat, but that night, Paul felt the oppression brought by this unassuming man in front of him. force.
That night Paul only scored 4 points and 6 assists and shot only 28.6%. In that round and the Nuggets series, Paul averaged 16.6 points and 10.4 assists per game, and averaged 4.8 turnovers per game. Second, the shooting percentage was limited to 41.1%, and the three-point shooting percentage was limited to 31.3%.
Against him, Billups averaged 22.6 points and 7.4 assists in that series, shooting 48.3%, shooting 65.5% from three-pointers, and averaging only 1.2 turnovers per game.
Billups is a defender who will take advantage of his own conditions and advantages. Paul is another extreme of "civilian height", with strong defense and excellent strength.
In the game against the Hornets tonight, Lin Yi finally knew how Billups educated Paul. Billups would use his height to interfere with Paul, forcing Paul to break through, and once Paul entered the Knicks, In the penalty area, waiting for him is the "forest combination" of the Knicks.
Billups knows where his strengths are. He will not show off against Paul and seek stability, but on the defensive end, he will not allow Paul to score easily. Of course, all this is easy to say, but you must know It's Chris Paul who is up against Billups!
Now Paul hasn't found his true love. The old man who changed his style in the future is now obsessed with training Lin Yi. Harden, who forms a "bulb" combination with him in the future, is still repairing water pipes in the thunder.
The Hornets trailed the Knicks by 8 points in the first quarter. The Hornets had an average three-pointer. The offense was dominated by pick-and-rolls by Paul and West. West peaked at about 50% of his field goal attempts, but except for him In addition, the Hornets have no other offensive points.
Efficient Ariza assisted Lin Yi with six backcourt rebounds in this game ... The Hornets hit the Knicks?
At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul kept talking. As a result, Livingston caught me with a single shot in the back. Paul became more and more uncomfortable. He knew that the Hornets might be able to make the playoffs, but it was not far behind.
In the third quarter, Paul is still struggling to score points. Several singles have made Lin Yi vaguely see the shadow of Sao Paulo in the future for the first time. Paul is such a persistent person. The stronger the opponent, the less he will not. Concede.
However, the Hornets are too short, and the Knicks will widen the difference. In the fourth quarter, Paul knew that he was unable to return to the sky. The lost expression was uncomfortable even for Lin Yi.
"Congratulations ... I hope you can go further and further in the playoffs." After the game, Paul said to Lin Yi from the bottom of his heart.
Will frustrations and injuries bring down Paul?
Of course not, Lin Yi knows that this little man in front of him also has great energy. Even if the time is zero, such a ruthless man like Paul will not admit defeat.
Lin Yi touched Paul's head. This is the NBA. To survive, you must defeat the geniuses around you. To stand at the top, you must experience setbacks, failures, and then climb up again. Peak climbing.
In this game, Paul played 38 minutes, 11 of 21, including 3 of 7 3-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
If it wasn't for Ariza's horrible 11 in 1, Paul said that he wouldn't be able to get a large double double tonight.
Lin Yi played 33 minutes, 10 of 19, including 8 of 4 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists in a large double-double.
If the opponent can have an "Ariza" every night, Lin Yi is very confident to be the rebounder this season.
...
Defeating the Hornets, the Knicks flew back to the east. Their next opponent will be the Bobcats.
Milicic's destiny has also changed. Under the influence of Lin Yi, the "parallel importer" struggled to lose weight, run, and practice shooting. In order to catch up with his once-anticipated himself, this was in the midst of the war. The born players can average 11.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in the new season, making the Bobcats feel like they have found a treasure.
The Bobcats fired Larry Brown last season, or Milicic would likely be suspended for beating the head coach.
The shift in historical trajectory has changed the fate of too many people, but Lin Yi believes that the league will no longer hire Larry Brown to coach.
In Charlotte, Milicic invited Lin Yi to eat at his home, and he also cooks himself. I have to say that the Serbian handsome cook is very good.
Milicic's sister Yuna is a tall and beautiful woman, and she also likes Lin Yi. After her brother entered the NBA, she always bears the humiliating nickname "Human Victory Cigar". Through Larry Brown's success, especially Lin Yi's success, Yuna felt that if it was not for Larry Brown's delay, her brother would at least not be so miserable.
Lin Yi knew that in his previous life, Milicic had only gained a respect in Minnesota. After all, Minnesota was a place of war and retreat. Coincidentally, Milicic's idol was Garnett.
Milicic is actually not as bad as people think. In fact, with limited playing time, he is much tougher than some black tough guys.
The more Milicic's sister Yuna chats with Lin Yi, the more she feels that Lin Yi knows everything, and the two have been chatting from basketball to pop music, animation, and movies.
The 20-year-old Yuna is as tall as 188 centimeters, and she has an outstanding appearance. There is a reason that Milicic has such a high value.
"Dakor, I don't think you have given up on yourself. You are only 25 years old this year. You are playing right now. As long as you believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to play in the NBA. UU 看书 www.uukanshu. com "Lin Yi encouraged Milicic.
Milicic smiled and nodded. After the meal, he also gave a gift to Lin Yi. Milicic was a caring person. Last year Lin Yi's birthday, Milicic gave Lin Yi a newspaper silhouette sticker, and This year is a model of Lin Yi carved by himself.
Lin Yi felt that Milicic was really a wonderful person, and the carpenter's work was so good.
Under Yuna's strong request, Lin Yi and Milicic went to the basketball court in the backyard for a while and played one-on-one.
Milicic's basic skills are really good, Yuna said with some grievances: "When my brother first entered the NBA, the dribble was much better than now."
This is the technology thing. If you don't advance, Lin Yi said to Milicic: "Dakor, you can't live in the shadow of your past. You have to believe that you are better than before."
Although the ability to shoot and dribble has deteriorated, Milicic's muscles are real. The NBA is a place where Superman gathers. Milicic has no real skills. How can Husky give him a middle-class contract in the future?
"Lin, you are so strong. Even if I haven't gone astray, I can't compare to you." Milicic's admiration for Lin Yi is sincere, this guy is just a monster.
Last year in the Knicks, Milisic would not be so bad one-on-one. Now one-on-one, there is no defense.
Lin Yi patted Milicic's shoulder, maybe this is fate!
"Run hard, Dakko, tell the man named Larry Brown, you are not a human victory cigar, your name is Dakota Milicic!"
Lin Yi's words trembled Milicic's body. For a long time, he clenched his fist.
prove yourself!
Be sure to prove yourself!
