A different point guard path

ESPN commentator Brin said when talking about Lin Rui: "Lin Rui is probably the strongest rookie we have ever seen. Lin Rui is almost using his own power to challenge the league structure this year. Under the leadership of Lin Rui , The Knicks also successfully rushed out of the East and lost after fighting the Lakers."

Van Gundy said: "The core of the Knicks' team building is very clear, and the next step is to strengthen around Lin Rui. I think the Knicks next season will be even more terrifying!!"

.....

"Lin Rui can leave with his head held high!"

"Hey, I'm a Lakers fan, but why am I unhappy, because Lin Rui lost?"

"Lin Rui is really hardworking, but he was cheated by the Knicks' operation."

"I hope that the Knicks will have an All-Star next season to help Lin Rui and fire Thomas, too incompetent."

Domestic Lin Rui fans also expressed regret for such a result!

.....

"Dang, the season is over, and if you win the runner-up in the finals, you will be rewarded with 200 victory points."

The reward was generous, but Lin Rui was not happy.

Lin Rui entered the shower room to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I followed Coach Thomas out for an interview.

Coach Thomas was the first to take the microphone over. He didn't let the reporter ask questions, but he said first: "I take full responsibility for the loss in this year's finals. I will resign as the head coach, and then I will do my best to help the team sign up in the summer. !"

Coach Thomas resigned as a bachelor!

Thomas is the general manager and part-time head coach. The head coach is no longer there. He has to focus on team operations.

"Kakkaka!!"

Lin Rui already knew about Thomas' decision in the locker room, and he respected Thomas' choice.

Although Coach Thomas did not give Lin Rui much guidance, he gave Lin Rui the greatest freedom to grow.

The flashing lights kept coming on, and Thomas became the first NBA head coach to announce his departure this summer.

The reporters turned their microphones on Lin Rui.

"Lin Rui, what do you think of Coach Thomas' resignation?"

"Is there any summary of this round of finals?"

"What do you think is the main reason for the Knicks losing the series?"

"Will you participate in the team's trade in the summer?"

"What kind of rookie do you think the Knicks will draft this year?"

"How should the Knicks' reinforcements be carried out?"

Thomas chose to leave, but Lin Rui could not leave.

Lin Rui answered the reporters' questions one by one.

Mature!

Still confident!

This is the perception of the reporters seeing Lin Rui's calm state of mind.

Lin Rui also grew up after experiencing failure.

The interview lasted half an hour.

Then Lin Rui followed the team back to the bus, headed to the airport, and flew back to New York!

At the airport in New York, Thomas announced the disbandment of the team and officially entered the holiday! !

...

...

The Knicks players are on vacation, but Thomas and the management haven't.

There is still a lot of work ahead of them.

The first is the NBA draft.

The Knicks have a No. 8 pick this year, then a No. 2 pick in the second round, and a No. 3 pick in the second round.

None of these three picks were obtained based on record, but were obtained by exchanging with other teams in previous transactions.

Otherwise, with the Knicks' record, the picks that the Knicks got are all very late, and the management needs to study it carefully.

Thomas has also been communicating with Lin Rui about the situation of the potential rookies.

The Knicks already have a preliminary plan, and there are multiple candidates to choose from.

In addition to the draft, it is necessary to find a suitable head coach for the Knicks.

Similarly, the Knicks' successor coach has also been selected, but inspections and interviews are still needed.

Although Thomas no longer has the position of head coach, he has the support of Lin Rui to continue to be the general manager, and he is still full of energy.

.........

Lin Rui's side.

It was late at night when I got home.

Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran were waiting for Lin Rui to come back.

"Brother Rui, thank you for your hard work." Li Feifei helped Lin Rui carry the luggage and walked towards the room.

"It's okay to lose the game, you are the best." Zeng Xiaoran also comforted Lin Rui.

Zeng Xiaoran could feel that Lin Rui was not in a good mood.

"Well, I'm fine." Lin Rui said.

Zeng Xiaoran would occasionally come over to accompany Li Feifei when he was away, and the relationship between the two was still very secret.

"Brother Rui, I made fried rice, you eat some to fill your stomach." Li Feifei said after putting down her luggage and coming out.

"Yeah." Lin Rui walked towards the dining table.

Sit down and finish the fried rice bite by bite.

Although he was in a normal mood, Lin Rui still enjoyed Li Feifei's kindness.

After eating the fried rice, Lin Rui and Li Feifei went back to the room.

.....

.....

"Lin, how many days of vacation do you want in summer?" Early the next morning, the manager Schwartz called.

"Give me ten days off." Lin Rui said.

"Okay, then I'll send the itinerary to your mailbox later." Schwartz said.

"Okay!" Lin Rui said.

Lin Rui's work in the summer is very busy, there are many endorsements and commercial shootings to run.

The ten-day vacation was to accompany Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran back to their hometown.

Then Li Feifei will always accompany Lin Rui to run endorsements and shoot commercials, and the two will travel together while working.

The itinerary is all in the country, so it won't be too much trouble.

Lin Rui didn't want to waste his time on things other than basketball.

This season is about accumulating raw money.

After the start of next season, Lin Rui will reduce these tasks. After all, Lin Rui is not short of money.

Apart from these personal affairs, Lin Rui's biggest job is to be busy with the Olympic Games.

The Beijing Olympics is an Olympic Games held at our doorstep, and Lin Rui will join the training team after the holidays are over!

Except for Lin Rui, other members of the national team have already started training.

Lin Rui was going to play in the finals and then had to rest, so it was postponed.

........

6 month 27 day.

The draft will be held at Madison Gardens.

Lin Rui attended the draft as a member of the Knicks.

Lin Rui sat in the box with Thomas and discussed the draft.

There is no suspense about the No. [-] pick, and the Bulls selected Derek Rose of the University of Memphis.

Derrick Rose was also compared with Lin Rui in the same period last year.

Rose is a breakthrough guard. He is very talented, but his shooting ability is not very good.

This is in stark contrast to Lin Rui.

The media in Chicago didn't expect Rose to be as good as Lin Rui, they only hoped that Rose wouldn't get lost.
After Ross came off the stage, he was asked by a reporter: "Many people compared you with last year's No. [-] pick, Lin Rui. What do you think?"

Rose said humbly: "Lin Rui is a historical rookie. I have watched many of his games. He is very mature and powerful. I am not as good as him now, but I will try my best to catch up with him."

It is not shameful to admit that he is worse than Lin Rui. After all, Lin Rui's record and personal statistics last season are too strong.

Miami chose Beasley at No. 2, and the Timberwolves chose OJ Mayo at No. 3, but soon, the Timberwolves exchanged Mayo for Love, who was selected by the Grizzlies at No. 5.

...

Under the combined discussion between Lin Rui and Thomas.

The Knicks finally selected Roy Hibbert with the No. 8 pick, DeAndre Jordan with the No. 2 pick in the second round, and Goran Dragic with the No. 3 pick in the second round.

Lin Rui finally chose to use the draft pick to reinforce the 5th and 1st positions.

Hibbert and Jordan have the height and the ability to protect the frame. Although they do not have the ability to attack independently, the Knicks never count on the 5th position to launch an offense.

As for the reinforcement of free agents, Lin Rui is going to let Thomas go to the free market to find someone.

Lin Rui wrote a few names to Thomas and asked Thomas to operate.

Tyson Chandler, PJ Tucker, Korver, Tony Allen, Lagabel.

After handing over everything to Thomas, Lin Rui no longer took care of it.

Lin Rui and Li Feifei started their vacation life.

After returning to his hometown, Lin Rui's parents basically regarded Li Feifei as their daughter-in-law.

They kept pushing for marriage.

Lin Rui's head is getting bigger.

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief after finally agreeing to their legal age and going to get the certificate.

end of June.

Lin Ruifei flew to Beijing, ready to start training life, while Li Feifei flew back to New York, she was going back to continue her classes.

With Lin Rui returning to the training team, all members of the national team are also in place.

The 08 men's basketball team gathered Lin Rui, Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, Zhang Qingpeng, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Du Feng.

The best basketball players in the country are gathered here.

The Beijing Olympic Games is an Olympic Games held at our doorstep. The goal of the national team is not to train troops, but to achieve good results.

After Lin Rui joined, Yunus's tactics immediately began to train around Lin Rui,

Jonas hopes that Lin Rui can play in the same rhythm as the Knicks in the national team.

In addition to the inside tactics for Yao Ming, other tactics are based on Lin Rui's singles offense.

Every wave of the national team's ball rights is also given to Lin Rui, allowing Lin Rui to organize and deploy.

In order to achieve good results in the Olympics, Lin Rui plans to exchange all the victory points earned in the finals into his hole cards.

The Olympics is a national honor, and Lin Rui will do his best!

In the previous life, the national team stopped at the quarter-finals. In this life, Lin Rui wants to lead the national team to win medals.

Lin Rui's return to the national team also made fans look forward to the Olympic Games.

"It's awesome!"

"Lin Rui is finally back."

"looking forward to!!"

"Let's see what kind of performance Lin Rui will have in the national team."

"Leading such a Chinese team should be more difficult than leading the Knicks."

"No way, except Dayao, Ah Lian, and General, the other players don't have the ability of NBA players. No matter how bad the Knicks are, they are still NBA teams."

"Hey, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Lin Rui mobilized the fans to watch the game.

Lin Rui also gave fans confidence in the basketball field.

......

8 month 2 day.

The Chinese men's basketball team ushered in a friendly match with Argentina.

In a semi-final of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Argentine men's basketball team, led by Ginobili and Scola, defeated the mighty American Dream Team, advanced to the final and finally won the championship.

The Argentine men's basketball team broke the dominance of the American men's basketball team and shocked the world.

Argentina has beaten the US team more than once.

This made fans in the previous life jokingly say that if Ginobili cannot enter the Hall of Fame, it is the sorrow of the Hall of Fame, not the sorrow of Ginobili.

The starting arrangements for the Chinese team and the Argentine team are at the Wukesong Stadium.

This is the host's advantage, friendly matches can be arranged in the main stadium.

Because this was Lin Rui's first match, tickets were hard to come by even for a friendly match.

Tickets for front row auditorium seats can be sold up to 8000 tickets at scalpers, which belongs to the category that cannot be bought even if you have money.

"Fuck, Lin Rui is warming up!"

"Lin Rui wears the No. 10 jersey."

"Lin Rui is awesome!!!"

"Lin Rui is so handsome!!"

"Lin Rui is so good in the Knicks, I don't know what effect he will have in the national team."

When the fans saw Lin Rui warming up in the national team jersey, everyone was happy

Fans who did not come to the scene were also looking forward to it.

Lin Rui is the top guard in the NBA. What kind of sparks will he create with Dayao?

"Ah Rui, everyone is looking forward to you." Yao Ming and Lin Rui laughed.

"Brother Yao, don't be too polite, I think there are more people calling you." Lin Rui smiled.

Indeed, many Yao Ming fans also came, holding Yao Ming's signboards high.

The two were joking with each other.

soon.

The game started.

The lineup sent by Argentina is: Ginobili, Delfino, Nocioni, Scola, Ottobo.

This is an all-NBA lineup, with Ginobili in the Spurs, Delfino in the Pistons, Nocioni in the Bulls, Scola in the Rockets, and Ottobo in the Spurs.

Chinese team lineup: Lin Rui, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Zhang Weiping said: "Argentina's internal and external strengths are very strong. In this game, the Chinese team will focus on training. It mainly depends on Lin Rui's running-in with everyone."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, don't pay too much attention to tonight's victory or defeat. Neither Dayao nor Lin Rui should fight for too long."

The two commentators worried that the fans were expecting too much, so they vaccinated everyone first.

It's a special feeling to stand on the field in the national team uniform.

Lin Rui touched the national flag on his chest, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became resolute.

For this honor, he will do everything.

jump ball.

Yao Ming and Scola jump the ball.

The two are teammates of the Rockets, and they had a friendly exchange for a while before the game.

Scola is also a bachelor, and when he saw Dayao jumping the ball with him, he also jumped off it meaningfully.

Dayao easily allocated the ball to the UAE.

Ah Lian gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui threw the ball forward, and slowly chased after him a little casually.

Lin Rui's self-confidence can be seen from the first movement.

If it's a normal point guard, they'll cover the ball firmly to dribble.

And Lin Rui directly opened up his luck.

Defensive Lin Rui is Manu Ginobili.

Ginobili also has no plans to steal. He also plays in the NBA, and Ginobili knows how terrifying Lin Rui is.

Looking at the very casual technical moves, if he attacked rashly to steal, he might lose his defensive position and let Lin Rui charge up.

There is no solution for Lin Rui's rush, which is the consensus of the whole NBA.

Lin Rui took control of the ball and dribbled it to the frontcourt.

"come on!"

&nvp! ! ! "

Domestic fans were very excited to see Lin Rui playing.

It is obvious that the temperament of the national team in the No. 1 position is completely different.

Lin Rui did not attack in singles, but first gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu who came out to meet him.

Zhu Fangyu transferred the ball to Sun Yue who came out of the circle.

Dayao offered to set a pick-and-roll for Sun Yue. Dayao's screen was very solid, and Sun Yue passed Delfino.

Although Sun Yue rushed in, he couldn't continue to rush in, and Scola's assistance arrived.

Sun Yue's breakthrough was blocked, he jumped up and gave the ball to Lin Rui at 45 degrees to the left.

Lin Rui was ready to catch the ball early on. After he got the ball, he didn't stop at all.

Fake!

Ginobili, who was afraid of Lin Rui, was immediately pointed out.

Lin Rui then dribbled the ball and moved one step to adjust to complete the collection.

This technical movement is very simple, but it shows Lin Rui's basic skills.

Catch, feint, dribble!

Everything is just right, no step is superfluous.

Lin Rui quickly pushed a three-pointer.

As soon as Lin Rui made a shot, the cheers on the scene immediately rose. This is the shooting posture they are familiar with when they watch the NBA.

Lin Rui's own rhythm is also very good, he knew he would go in after the shot.

No accident, the basketball draws a gorgeous arc!

"Shh!"

0:3.

Lin Rui raised his hands high, and celebrated with high-fives from Dayao and Ah Lian who came over.

Dayao laughed and said, "Ah Rui, the three-point line here is more comfortable than in the NBA."

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "It's almost like growing two points."

Ah Lian smiled and said, "You will get used to it gradually."

The three exchanged and retreated.

"Beautiful work!!"

"nice shot!!"

"It's really accurate. You can tell by the action that you are about to enter."

"Lin Rui's technical moves are too handsome."

Domestic fans cheered quickly.

Lin Rui's ball was very ordinary, but it made the fans very happy.

Zhang Weiping also smiled excitedly: "When Sun Yue handed the ball to Lin Rui, Lin Rui still had Ginobili's defense in front of him, but with just one touch from Lin Rui, he shook Ginobili away. "

Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "We often see Lin Rui holding the ball, but this time Lin Rui also played very well without the ball."

On the court, Ginobili had his hands on his hips, and Lin Rui was too difficult to guard against.

"See if you want to flank him." Scola asked.

"No need, just a friendly match." Ginobili said.

Indeed, friendly matches don't need to be so desperate.

Argentina attacked.

Ginobili took Scola's serve forward.

Lin Rui went up to confront Ginobili.

Lin Rui's defense was tough, and Ginobili frowned.

Lin Rui's wingspan is very long, and he is fast and powerful, which makes Ginobili feel a headache.

Ginobili gave the ball to Nocioni, and Nocioni took the ball upfield.

Ginobili is Argentina's main tactical attack point. He wants to run out to catch the ball, but Lin Rui has no loopholes in Ginobili's defense.

Lin Rui's defense is very experienced, and he will not foul while maintaining confrontation.

Nocioni saw that Ginobili had no chance, so he gave the ball to Scola inside.

Scola signaled to clear the right side, and he was going to singles.

Scola is a superstar player in the international arena, and his technical moves are gorgeous.

Scola low singles UAE.

The UAE's defensive center of gravity is very high, and Scola will pass the UAE with a turn.

Scola wanted to make a layup, but was directly interfered by Dayao.

Dayao's deterrence at the basket is not ordinary.

Scola went big, but the rebound was taken by Nocioni.

Nocioni takes the ball and Ginobili finally has a chance to catch it.

Ginobili singled out Lin Rui on the right.

Lin Rui's way of defending Ginobili is to not let go of sudden shots. Lin Rui's position is very suitable, which makes Ginobili very uncomfortable.

Ginobili didn't dare to be careless, he began to dribble slowly looking for opportunities.

Ginobili signaled his teammates to open up the space, and he wanted to single out Lin Rui.

The Chinese team attaches great importance to this friendly match, while Argentina does not pay much attention to it.

Ginobili wanted to see if he could break Lin Rui's defense.

Lin Rui also signaled to his teammates that there is no need to flank, and he will directly defend alone.

What Lin Rui hopes most is for Argentina to fight like this.

Faced with Lin Rui's continuous change of direction, Ginobili leaned over to the right and sprinted.

"boom!"

Ginobili confronted Lin Rui directly.

Lin Rui's confrontation was far stronger than Ginobili thought. Ginobili couldn't hit Lin Rui, and Lin Rui was always entangled with Ginobili.

Ginobili quickly adjusted and changed direction to the left.

Slightly occupying the position, Ginobili forced three steps to layup.

Ginobili's basketball just shot!

"Snapped!!"

Lin Rui slapped the ball straight away! !

"what!!!!"

After Lin Rui blocked the shot, he roared at Ginobili! ! !

The cheering momentum of fans in Wukesong Stadium also reached its first climax! ! !

"Fuck, what a fierce defense."

"It's amazing, the Argentine Demon Knife was blocked immediately."

"It's too arrogant."

"Lin Rui's defense is really strong."

"For anyone else, Ginobili's pace has already passed them."

The fans were excited.

After the Argentine team served again, they did not complete the shot in 24 seconds. They were defended by the Chinese team for 24 seconds.

Zhang Weiping excitedly said: "What Lin Rui brought to the Chinese team is not only offense, but also his defense. From the NBA game, it can be seen that Lin Rui can defend from the 1st position to the 4th position, even if he faces a weaker player. The 5th position can also defend!"

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui directly blocked Ginobili, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team."

Coach Jonas also continued to applaud from the sidelines. Lin Rui's offensive and defensive rounds made the Chinese team's momentum completely different.

The Chinese team continued to attack.

Lin Rui didn't hold the ball, but motioned for Sun Yue to catch it.

After Lin Rui played the finals, he realized that he couldn't do all the work on his shoulders.

In the case that the Chinese team has other defenders who can carry the ball across the half, there is no need for him to bring the ball to the frontcourt every round.

The Argentine team obviously knew where the strengths of the Chinese team were. They focused on Lin Rui and Dayao.

Sun Yue is now at his peak, and his physical talent is not bad for people of the yellow race.

Lin Rui continued to run without the ball in the frontcourt.

Ah Lian first came out to cover Lin Rui, and Lin Rui got rid of Ginobili.

Ottobo changed defense against Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's running position changed a lot, Dayao stopped on one side, and Lin Rui went over again to use the off-ball screen.

Dayao's screen firmly blocked Ottobo.

Ottobo was very helpless, and could only watch Lin Rui appear in the gap on the left.

Sun Yue has been paying attention to Lin Rui's running position. Seeing that Lin Rui has a gap, he immediately sends the ball out.

Sun Yue's pass was in place, and Lin Rui took the lead to catch the ball in advance.

Receive the ball, jump off the ground, and shoot a three-pointer in the standard shooter posture! !

The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !

"Shhh!!"

0:6.

A three-pointer hits the heart with an arrow! !

The fans in Wukesong Stadium continue to cheer! !

Lin Rui made consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game.

Lin Rui and Sun Yue clapped hands in celebration.

"Your shooting is really stable." Sun Yue said enviously.

"Hey, just practice more." Lin Rui smiled.

Lin Rui said it very politely.

Zhang Weiping screamed: "Lin Rui's touch is great, the start was so hot, and he scored consecutive three-pointers."

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Yes, Lin Rui's scoring methods are too rich. He still doesn't play singles with the ball, but solves the offense by running without the ball."

On the field, the Argentine players gathered together to simply discuss the defense against Lin Rui.

The defensive strength of the Argentine team is obviously not as good as that of the Celtics and Lakers, and their player talents did not cause too much trouble for Lin Rui.

"Too accurate."

"Too accurate!"

"There is a shot!"

"Brilliant!!"

"For Lin Rui, shooting this kind of three-pointer is like playing."

Fans on the Internet are also very excited.

Watching Lin Rui in the national team jersey and making these shots feels even better than watching the NBA!

The pleasant sound of piercing the net is very crisp.

The fans at the scene chanted Lin Rui's name and kept applauding Lin Rui.

Lin Rui on the field also smiled when he heard these familiar cheering shouts.

Lin Rui will show his best state to the national team.

Argentina attacked.

Lin Rui continued to defend Ginobili.

Ginobili takes the ball upfield.

Ginobili was annoyed by Lin Rui's entanglement. He tried to pass the ball to Scola in the frontcourt.

But Ginobili still carelessly underestimated the length of Lin Rui's wingspan!

"Snapped!"

Ginobili's ball was blocked by Lin Rui as soon as it went out.

If Lin Rui completes this kind of steal, Ginobili won't even bother chasing him.

"Good shot, beautiful defense!" Coach Jonas continued to roar on the sidelines.

In Yunus' opinion, Lin Rui is too perfect.

Lin Rui didn't make an emergency stop to convert the three-pointer, but stepped into the three-point line.

Lin Rui kicked the ground vigorously and took off into the sky! !

Lin Rui took off from the free throw line.

The fans at the scene started screaming when they saw Lin Rui's take-off position.

In the air, Lin Rui swung a loop with one hand, and then hit the basket! !

"frame!"

Stepping on the windmill dunk at the free throw line! ! !

0 is better than 8

"Pause!!" The Argentine team was stopped directly.

Lin Rui presents a perfect visual feast to all Chinese fans! ! !

"Fuck!!"

"666!!"

"Ooooooooo!!!"

"Slam dunk!!!"

"Damn, stepping on the big windmill at the free throw line!"

"so cool."

The fans at the scene almost rioted, cheering and shouting one by one.

It was a slam dunk by a member of the national team they had never seen before.

Lin Rui's dunks are different from others. His dunks seem to be easy and not forced at all.

Stretching the body in the air is also to the extreme! ! !

Zhang Weiping stood up even more: "Lin Rui made a steal, Lin Rui stepped on the free throw line and took off, oh, big windmill, well done, Lin Rui, just dunk him like this!!!"

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Lin Rui scored eight points in a row and stopped Argentina!"
