When Big Apple City was looming, Stephen Marbury's mood was complicated.
He's embarrassed because the Knicks are the current league leader and Lin Yi is the current King of New York. When he returned to New York last summer, he knew how frightening Lin Yi was in New York.
This season, the Knicks leading the league is one of the hottest teams in the NBA.
He is very excited because he can return to the NBA. In countless days and nights in China, Marbury is reflecting on his past ...
Marbury believes that the great man was right. One should be lively and disciplined, naive and not naive, brave and not reckless, stubborn and principled, enthusiastic and impulsive, optimistic and not blind.
So, before re-entering the Knicks ’training hall, Marbury tidy up his clothes. He straightened his back. He smiled at the old Levy who opened the door, and was kind to him. After saying hello, he strode into the basketball hall.
The janitor Levy couldn't believe it. Is this really the Marbury with a higher eye?
Although Lin Yi gave his teammates vaccinations, when Marbury appeared in the training hall, the newcomers were okay, and the veterans felt a little uncomfortable.
But ... Is this really the hardest teammate to get along with?
Even D'Antoni couldn't believe that Marbury was actually a humble person?
In the morning training class, Marbury was doing recovery training honestly and adjusting jet lag.
Lin Yi asked, "How?"
Marbury nodded.
"Maybe it will take some time for you to get into the locker room." Lin Yi said.
"It doesn't matter, all practical actions are far more important than a dozen programs!" Marbury replied.
Lin Yi almost did not sip an energy drink directly on Marbury.
Lin Yi patted Marbury's shoulder. The CBA is indeed a league that can change lives, which is terrible.
So after a day of training, the Knicks players found that Marbury didn't seem to be so difficult?
O'Neal stroked his head: "Who told me that Stephen was having trouble getting along?"
Lin Yi looked at O'Neal curiously: "Shaq, I always thought you could cooperate with any teammate."
"Oh?" O'Neal raised his eyebrows.
Perhaps it was the faint pain in the waist, Lin Yi didn't say the words he wanted to say next.
...
The Knicks signed Marbury ... The impact was even greater than their trading billups. The New York media banged on the keyboard: Are you crazy, are you crazy, are the Knicks crazy!
The Knicks fans don't understand why they sign Marbury's tumor at this time?
So the Knicks general manager Donny Wash became the hot pot guy again. The Knicks general manager burst into tears. This season, he is either on the way or on the way.
But Donny Wash has a big heart now, because he seems to enjoy a wave of praise every time he finishes the pot?
Marbury also noticed the satire on him.
"Don't worry about it, Stephen, you're here to prove yourself." After Lin Yi said this, he suddenly felt that his chicken soup was superfluous.
Because Marbury is strong, "It's best to compare truth to flint-the harder it is beaten, the brighter the light it emits."
"..."
Marbury's integration into the Knicks' locker room is faster than Lin Yi imagined, because everyone likes to listen to Marbury's anecdotes about China, and you can see that Marbury has already had feelings for China ... ... Lin Yi knows that it will be only half a season for Marbury to return to King Qin.
But if he can settle his wish in the NBA, what will Marbury do when he goes to Beijing again?
Of course, Marbury also needs to adjust the jet lag.
...
On February 7, the Knicks won the 76ers again. This time, the 76ers have learned to be good. In the last game, they will not do the stupid thing of carrying an explosive pack to impact the "forest combination"!
Heroes or whatever ... forget it!
After the Knicks defeated the 76ers, their streak has reached 13 games.
"The Knicks have won 13 straight games in a row! In the history of NBA, only three teams have made two 15-game winning streak in a single season. The Knicks hope to become the fourth team to achieve such success! "Kenny Smith said.
Buckley was a bit worried. "But Kenny ... except the Bucks won the championship ... the other two failed to win the championship."
Kenny Smith covered his face with his hands, Charles, are you really Lin Mi? Why is it so frustrating!
In fact, Barkley's worry is not unreasonable, because Barkley is not optimistic about the signing of Marbury by the Knicks. According to Barkley, the injury of Livingston and the joining of Marbury may be the Knicks this season A big turning point.
Buckley's poisonous tongue did guess a bit.
Because this is indeed a turning point.
...
On February 9, the Knicks faced the Clippers at home. The league did not know whether it was intentional or not. Before the All-Star game, Lin Yi and Griffin's duel really attracted people's attention.
Marbury will wear the No. 96 jersey in this game. Marbury told Lin Yi that he is a member of the 96th Golden Generation and he has to prove that he has not failed the 96th generation's extraordinary word in the NBA.
After more than half of the season, Griffin has become the leader of the Clippers. So far this season, Griffin can average 23.7 points and 11.9 rebounds, and can also score 0.9 three points per game.
Griffin's explosive style has made the Clippers attract a lot of local fans in Los Angeles. The nickname of "White Warcraft" has also started to sound, but Griffin meets Lin Yi and seems to be very heartfelt every time ... ..
For Griffin, Lin Yi is his goal and motivation!
He firmly believes that he will be able to defeat that big devil tonight!
however......
Tonight's game, Stupid Chai was worried again.
From the beginning of the first quarter, Lin Yi had always looked dry with his wingspan and height.
Griffin's defensive skills are not so familiar at present, and the most important thing is that Lin Yijin or not will spoil him.
"Come on me! Blake! Even if you hate one, you win!"
"Do you know, Blake, shooting in front of you is as easy as training."
Lin Yi is not polite to Griffin, because this silly firewood has also blackened himself!
Fortunately, Lin Yi feels ordinary tonight, otherwise Griffin would really be thrown into the mentality by Lin Yi.
After the first quarter, the Knicks led 28-28 at home. At the beginning of the second quarter, when Marbury was ready to play, a faint boo came from the Madison Square Garden.
Marbury held both hands hollow and blew into his mouth.
Madison Square Garden.
I am back.
"Is he all right?" Gallinari recalled when his rookie season was being booed by fans.
"Rest assured ... he is stronger than we think." After training for the past few days, Lin Yi has a certain understanding of Marbury's strength and state.
It would be impossible for Marbury to play like he did then.
And he is not the "lone wolf" that year.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Clippers failed to substitute off the bench. Whiteside grabbed the rebound and passed it to Marbury. After passing the halfway steadily, Marbury passed the ball to Danny Green, and then ran by himself Go make a wall for Danny Green.
Danny Green didn't miss this opportunity and went straight to the layup.
"Marbury is picking a teammate?"
New York fans can't believe their eyes.
In the following minutes, they completely subverted Marbury's perception.
Marbury made a point and assisted Wilson Chandler with a jumper.
Marbury motivated the offensive and indirectly assisted his teammates to score.
With a wonderful pass by Marbury, Whiteside easily ate cakes.
Marbury makes a three-pointer ... Unfortunately, hit the iron!
Marbury's second open three-pointer ... this ball is here!
D'Antoni is very satisfied with the performance of Marbury's substitute. Although the old man still thinks that Livingston is better, during the period of Livingston's injury, Marbury must be qualified as the backup point guard of the Knicks.
Marbury certainly can't bring any qualitative changes to the Knicks ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but he can help the Knicks' benches hold their ground.
Louis Williams found his familiar rhythm and fired on the perimeter. On the court, the Knicks' benches apparently wanted to take the game away.
The Clippers' head coach Denagrow promptly requested a timeout.
Fighting like this again, isn't it a replica of the Bulls against the Knicks last year?
And at the moment when De Nagro called out for a pause, although the voice was not very loud, a small number of Knicks fans finally said that ...
"Welcome home, Stephen."
Looking at Marbury, who was breathing heavily on the bench, Lin Yi pressed his shoulder.
New York is now home.
...
PS: Fifth more!
