Before the Knicks and the Mavericks played, many people were not optimistic about the "weak" Nowitzki being able to lead the Mavericks to block this iron-blooded Knick led by the cruel Lin Yi.
However, this game once again made people unexpected.
The Mavericks prevented the Knicks from winning streak at home, 97 to 108, the Knicks had their first defeat in 35 days.
The loss came in a timely manner. After the game, Comrade D'Antoni made an important speech in the locker room on the battle for Dallas. First, Laode analyzed the reasons for the Knicks' loss, such as long-distance flight, the devil schedule, and As for the long march of the Knicks' counterattack revolution, Lao De pointed out that the Knicks should calm down their minds and treat themselves as a challenger, not a superior superior.
In the end, the old German believes that losing at this time is a good thing, especially the Mavericks and other western teams must attract the attention of the Knicks, this season's opponents are not only the Heat, the Bulls, the Celtics.
"The NBA season is always so long. To stand at the final peak, we need more than the heart of a champion." D'Antoni rarely talked about it in the locker room this season, but this time The summary is key.
In this game with the Mavericks, the Knicks exposed a lot of problems that did not occur when they won. In addition, the Mavericks' terrible backup lineup made the Knicks understand that the East was really comfortable ...
Ellis played as the Mavericks 'sixth man in the game. He played 9 of 15 in 28 minutes, including 4 of 2 3-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored the Mavericks' highest 24 points.
Nowitzki is as stable as ever. The old driver made 8 of 14 games, 3 of 1 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 19 points and 8 rebounds.
The Mavericks 'bench scored a total of 67 points in this game, far exceeding the Knicks' 35 points. Inspired by last season, D'Antoni found that if a game is okay, if the Mavericks play seven games, the Knicks really Very strenuous ...
Because the Mavericks also play a lot of people!
If the Knicks are dragged to death in a series of games, then it is not fun.
In an interview after the game, Mavericks coach Carlisle was finally relieved. He said that the Knicks are indeed a champion of the championship, but the Mavericks are not vegetarian. "We will strive to win every opponent. Our team has Many veterans, they are full of desire for victory. "
The reporters were very curious about Lin Yi's mentality after losing, so he told Carlisle's words to Lin Yi. After listening, Lin Yi asked the reporter, "Have you ever seen a meat-eating calf?"
The reporters never expected that Lin Yi actually played the name of the Mavericks Chinese team. It is said that after reading the game report, Mavericks owner Cuban had already thought of changing his name.
In fact, Lin Yi has long wanted to talk about it. If the Mavericks Chinese team name is renamed Lone Ranger, what else? The Mavericks are so kind. The Lone Ranger is really ... terribly scared. Is Cuban a black?
The reporters found that Lin Yi's mentality was very relaxed. Some media who asked questions asked Lin Yi if he didn't take the game to heart. Lin Yi directly asked: "We are all adults, why should we always treat unhappy things? Hang on your face to make others happy because of your unhappiness? "
What you said makes sense, I ca n’t refute it!
The reporters wanted to let Lin Yi insert the flag ... but Lin He didn't give them a chance!
...
Lin Yi lost to the Mavericks away for a reason. The Mavericks are really strong, but this time they confirmed that the Mavericks are strong. Lin Yi also confirmed that the Mavericks did not restrain their natural enemies!
"The next time I meet, I can't say it!" Lin Yi is not really bloated.
Because there is no such thing as a game, the Mavericks are strong, but they are not unsolvable.
Lin Yi knew that he was the wallbreaker of the Mavericks' problem. "So to speak, you still have to upgrade!"
On the evening of the 8th, the Knicks flew back to New York overnight. Their last opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, came a few hours before them.
This is really a bitter home. The visiting team comes before you ...
No way, the Lakers' schedule is easier than the Knicks. The Knicks' schedule this season can be said to be sweet first and then bitter, mainly because Stern is worried about the Knicks' unsuccessful start. However, it turns out that the president's worry is unnecessary.
After returning to New York, Lin Yi did not go home for the first time, but instead put on a fat man and went to have a meal with Kobe.
O'Neill was very reluctant, but Lin Yi felt that this fat man was definitely intentional, otherwise how could he pull him 300 pounds faster?
OK, the friendship between the two is very complicated. Do you say that they really tear their faces and don't associate with each other?
Nor did they often joke with each other after they retired.
You say they are superficial brothers? Then O'Neal really didn't need to say a word to Kobe: Dude, let's get 50 points in the last game. You know, Kobe finally overfulfilled his task.
In a luxury restaurant in New York, Kobe in a suit and sunglasses opened his mouth when he saw O'Neal. "Shaq, I heard that you haven't missed a training class this season?"
O'Neal snorted coldly after he sat down. "Kobe, hurry up and over Havelichak, otherwise how can you prove your dominance?"
Lin Yi aside helplessly, Kobe's state has begun to decline this season. Lin Yi knows that many of Kobe's injuries are cumulative, so when eating, Lin Yi advised Kobe to give up some unnecessary games.
"Mamba doesn't run away," Bryant answered.
O'Neal couldn't help laughing, thinking that if you could persuade Kobe, would it still be Kobe?
Lin Yi was quite helpless because he remembered that the Lakers had a great chance to kill the Mavericks in the 10/11 playoffs. Don't look at the Mavericks who swept the Lakers 4-0, but in fact each game was thrilling. .
Without Tyson Chandler's frame guard, the Lakers said it wasn't good enough to really help the Knicks kill the Mavericks.
Hmm ... From the perspective of lineup and strength, if the finals can play the Lakers, Lin Yi thinks that the chance of winning the championship can increase at least 30%.
Even if the Lakers don't kill the Mavericks in the end, if the Lakers can play a few more games, it is also good for the Knicks.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi's persuasion is invalid. Kobe's head iron and low emotional intelligence are famous, but fortunately, O'Neal and Kobe are mixing their mouths. Lin Yi also heard a lot of interesting stories from the Lakers' locker room.
For example, O'Neal talked that Kobe wanted to prove himself as soon as he met Ray Allen, regardless of his teammates.
Kobe Tucao O'Neal always ran out somehow the night before the game, and then ran back exhausted the next day.
The two quarreled and quarreled to the famous "Shaq is done!" Lin Yi confirmed that the two were holding their breath. After all, how could the revolutionary friendship that had carried a gun together be scattered?
"You should read a few more years, really." O'Neill sneered.
"It doesn't matter if you take a ring or read a book." Bryant raised five fingers, meaning he has five championships.
Finally, O'Neal came up with a trick.
"My son plays basketball well." O'Neill said.
Kobe: "..."
Lin Yineng felt that the atmosphere suddenly dropped to the freezing point and had to say that O'Neal's move was very lethal.
Kobe stopped talking with O'Neal and talked to Lin Yi.
O'Neal has been sneering, and Lin Yineng noticed that Kobe's teeth were rattling. If it were not for this fat man, Kobe might have passed a punch.
After meals, Kobe refused Lin Yi to take him back to the hotel, and he called the car and left alone.
O'Neal looked at the back of Kobe's departure. "Get ready, Lin, he will attack aggressively tomorrow."
Lin Yi glanced at O'Neal, "Isn't Kobe so stingy?"
O'Neal sneered, "You're just his fan, and I've been with him for so many years as a teammate, can you have me to know him?"
Lin Yi thinks that the person who knows Kobe the best must be this fat man.
Pisces's O'Neill's mind is very delicate, and Kobe born at the junction of Leo and Virgo ... Leo's childishness and domineering, Virgo's stingy, perfectionism really proved his character.
So including Lin Yi and Kobe getting along, sometimes Lin Yi thinks that Kobe is a very big person, just like when Kobe invites himself to invest together, but sometimes Kobe will do something that you ca n’t believe ..... Of course, if Kobe doesn't have this paranoia, you will feel that this little blacksmith is not cute at all.
Well, the above is taken from "The Daily Black Virgin of NBA Constellation."
...
For the Knicks, the game against the Lakers was seen by the team as the last torture before liberation.
After the game is over, the Knicks will usher in a four-day offseason. It does n’t feel like they do n’t lose to the Mavericks. After losing to the Mavericks, everyone realizes that the motivation to win has always supported them.
In the garden of Madison Square, sleepy Lin Yi found the atmosphere over the Lakers strange when he warmed up.
dignified?
It's serious anyway.
"I'll say it, Kobe is very stingy." O'Neal patted Lin Yi's shoulder.
Lin Yi yawned, "You're right, Shaq!"
The Knicks coach D'Antoni looked sad, and the old German did not sleep well last night. Lien Chan and the Mavericks and the Lakers, the old German already scolded the person who scheduled the race a hundred times.
The fans of Madison Square Garden are still full of vitality, and Barkley said before the game: "The Knicks' home atmosphere this season is simply terrible."
Kenny Smith laughed: "Maybe it's been too long for New York fans?"
Closer to home, UU Reading "Zen Master" Phil Jackson has touted Gasol, Odom, Artest, Kobe, and Fisher tonight.
As long as he played against the Knicks, Big Phil was determined to not need Bynum. This time when he went to New York, "Little Shark" was sitting at home watching the ball.
The Knicks are Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, Billups.
In the future, Kobe sent Tony Allen sneakers, but today Tony's teacher also has a little cyanosis, because Bryant has been staring at him with straight eyes.
Lin Yi also found that when he was preparing to jump the ball, Artest was moving his elbow ...
The game started immediately.
As for who wins?
Of course it is elbow to see!
