A different point guard path

Knicks locker room.

Lin Rui didn't come until almost all the staff arrived.

"Oh, boss, boss, I finally see you." Stephenson gave Lin Rui a warm hug from behind as soon as he saw Lin Rui appearing.

After this guy got Lin Rui's phone number, he harassed Lin Rui with at least three calls a day, but Lin Rui had already blocked him.

So annoying!

I felt someone wanting to hug me behind my back.

Lin Rui threw Stephenson to the front with an over-the-shoulder throw, then knelt on Stephenson with his right knee, firmly pressing on his chest, and completely controlled him.

"Hi, Lance, I'm sorry, I don't really like being hugged from behind." Lin Rui said with a smile.

Stephenson tried to struggle, but was stuck so firmly that he couldn't move at all.

"Oh, boss, it turns out that you are really good at fighting." Stephenson continued, regardless of the fact that he had just been thrown.

"If you keep talking, he will knock you out." Tucker said beside him.

"You're finally here. This guy has been talking nonsense for an hour in the locker room. My God, it's finally quiet."

"Keep holding him, don't let go."

"Hahaha!!"

"Haha, Lin, just knock him out, this guy is too noisy."

Obviously, the Knicks have been annoyed by Stephenson from top to bottom.

"It seems that you are not very popular with your teammates, please be quiet for a while, okay?" Lin Rui smiled.

Lin Rui's smile is also very intimidating.

"Okay!" Stephenson felt embarrassed when he heard the teasing from everyone in the locker room.

Lin Rui let Stephenson go, clapped his hands, stood up and walked to his closet.

After Stephenson got up, he obediently stood aside.

Stephenson didn't dare to make any noise, so he whispered to the rookie Whiteside next to him: "Hassan, the boss is so cool, he can fight so well, I couldn't move at all just now, can you believe it? I love him to death gone."

Whiteside said, "You guys are masochistic?"

Stephenson said: "If I could, I would be beaten by the boss every day."

Whiteside said, "Crazy."

After Whiteside finished speaking, he walked towards Lin Rui.

As a rookie, you have to be a little discerning.

"Boss, I'm Hassan." Whiteside came over and introduced himself to Lin Rui.

Whiteside only heard Lin Rui's voice on the phone, and did not meet Lin Rui himself.

"Hassan, hello, I know you, your block is cool." Lin Rui got up and high-fived Whiteside.

Compared to Stephenson, Whiteside is a normal rookie.

"I'll keep working hard," Whiteside said nervously.

Facing Lin Rui, Whiteside felt that being praised by Lin Rui was also a kind of pressure.

If he fails to do well in the field that Lin Rui praised, Whiteside will feel ashamed.

Whiteside left after greeting Lin Rui.

Lin Rui began to take out some personal items from his backpack and put them in the closet.

Lin Rui's training clothes and jerseys are all neatly put away.

There are team equipment managers who will sort everything out.

After finishing his work, Lin Rui didn't go to training immediately.

Instead, he took the team to start taking makeup photos for the new season.

After the photo shoot, it was time for an interview.

The Knicks press conference hall was packed, and even the aisles were filled with people.

The Knicks players also tacitly let Lin Rui face such a scene alone.

It's useless even if they show up, the reporters don't pay attention to them.

When Lin Rui is around, the media reporters will surround Lin Rui and automatically ignore other players.

The PR director left and stood in the distance, Lin Rui faced the media alone.

"Kakkaka!!!"

A reporter from tnt asked: "Lin, what are you busy with during the off-season?"

Lin Rui said: "I am very busy, training, work, family, my daily time is fragmented and arranged. Of course, I also know that when I am in this position, such a situation will inevitably occur. "

The ESPN reporter asked: "Lin, what is your goal for the new season?"

Lin Rui said: "Win the championship."

...

...

Lin Rui spent an hour dealing with media reporters.

Then began his own training.

Lin Rui started special training as early as a month ago, so his body and condition are in good shape.

And many Knicks players are returning from vacation, their weight has soared, and their condition is average.

Among them, Randolph was the most exaggerated. In one holiday, this guy gained 7.5 kilograms, and he was as fat as a pig.

D'Antoni scolded them on the first day of training, asking them to control their weight and get back to their form quickly....

...

...

A week after the start of the training camp, the preseason also began.

The NBA arranged two Chinese games for the Knicks.

After returning to China, Lin Rui served as the host and invited the whole team to eat, drink and play together.

It was hard to get a ticket for the China game, which allowed the NBA to once again witness Lin Rui's popularity in China.

When Lin Rui plays, other players will be overshadowed.

Except for the two China games where he played more than 40 minutes, Lin Rui played no more than 20 minutes in other preseason games, and Lin Rui played every game.

The preseason is not important to Lin Rui. D'Antoni also uses these games to hone his rookies and select two fringe players to make up the roster.

All the free agents of the Knicks have renewed their contracts this season. Under such circumstances, the Knicks' total salary still has not paid the luxury tax. One can imagine how well they have done under salary control.

......

The time soon came to November 10th.

The NBA opener has begun.

The league is not hiding it, the opening game is the Knicks vs. the Heat!

This game has attracted a lot of attention before it even started.

Fans and the media are eager to know whether the Heat's Big Three can create a threat to the Knicks.

In the playoffs last season, the Knicks showed too much momentum.

In the pre-match reporter interview hall.

James and Wade were stopped by reporters.

The reporter asked: "LeBron, are you sure you can beat the Knicks now?"

James said: "Of course, we will be the strongest team."

James hates Lin Rui a little now, he feels that Lin Rui is very disrespectful to him.

The Knicks don't need me, so I will form a super strong team to beat you!

Teaming up with Wade and Bosh has greatly increased James' confidence.

Wade also took the initiative to tell reporters: "We may get 82 wins and 0 losses!!"

Wade is also full of confidence! !

Wade has been looking forward to the start of the new season for too long! ! !

..............

In the home team locker room.

D'Antoni emphasized: "They have no inside players. Our insiders can let go of the offense. The defense is mainly based on zone defense. Their three-pointers are not good enough."

This is D'Antoni's tactic after discussing with Lin Rui.

The Heat's front line is invincible, but their inside line is worrying, and they lack shooters on the three-point line.

It seems that the Heat are very strong, but the Knicks' lineup restrains them!

The Knicks aren't worried about such an opponent.

Of course, the outside world now feels that the Big Three of the Heat are already qualified to challenge the Knicks.

"Peak duel, the strongest opener in the NBA!!"

"Lin Rui vs. James, with the strength of his teammates, can James reverse the sluggishness facing Lin Rui?"

"Strike the dynasty, the Knicks set sail!!!"

"Super Knicks vs Super Big Three, who is stronger and who is weaker?"

"The duel between Lin Rui and James may be the main scene in the next ten years!!"

.....

The Knicks ticket price is the most expensive in the league, but fans are still flocking to it!

Many, many stars came to the sidelines.

After the cool appearance ceremony, Lin Rui also went to say hello to these stars.

Many of these stars are friends of Lin Rui.

Everything is the same as last season.

Before the start of the game, the nba championship ring award ceremony will be held! !

The championship rings made by Dolan are very expensive, worth over one million dollars....

James looked at the championship ring very eagerly! ! !

Zhang Weiping joked: "I think James must be very envious at this time. This is Lin Rui's second championship ring, and he doesn't have one yet."

Xu Jicheng said: "The appearance of Lin Rui made James have to go to the road of grouping, otherwise he may never be able to defeat Lin Rui. The Knicks' lineup configuration is very reasonable. Director Zhang, do you think the Heat's Big Three have a chance to beat the Knicks? "

Zhang Weiping said: "There must be opportunities. The Knicks' front line can't cope with the impact of James and Wade. Even Tony Allen and Tucker can't do it. They are not a level match. Of course, Lin Rui can defend James. Or Wade, but he can't always focus on the defensive end."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, let's see how the Heat will play against the Knicks in this game. After all, they are the challengers."

The two narrators were chatting.

At this time, the game on the field also started.

Heat starting: Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh, Haslem.

Knicks starters: Lin Rui, Danny Green, Tucker, Randolph, Gasol Jr.

Both Curry and Dayao are recuperating from their injuries, and the game has been suspended, which has damaged the Knicks' internal and external strength to a certain extent.

But the Knicks are famous for having a lot of players, and if the core Lin Rui is there, this kind of influence is very limited.

"Lin, come on, kill them!"

"So what about the Big Three? They can't beat us."

"Knicks Championship!!!"

After the Knicks won two consecutive championships, the fans became more confident.

Gasol Jr. jumped the ball with Bosh.

Bosh jumps a little faster and dials the ball to Wade.

Wade gave the ball to Chalmers, and Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court.

Lin Rui defended Chalmers, and did not directly go up to give a high-intensity confrontation. Lin Rui knew very well that Chalmers would not launch an attack by himself.

As Lin Rui expected, Chalmers gave the ball to James on the left.

Tucker in front of James was obviously very competitive. He changed direction and went to Tucker's left to kill. Tucker reacted quickly and stopped him a little, but he didn't stop him.

James broke through smoothly, and Randolph assisted in the defense. Randolph gained a lot of weight, and his flexibility obviously deteriorated.

James continued to change direction to the other side, and stepped into the air while cooperating with the ball! ! !

James's tomahawk split button! ! !

It's too late for Gasol's help defense!

"frame!!!"

2:0.

James vented his depression throughout the offseason in the first round.

D'Antoni told the assistant coach: "Continue to increase the weight loss for Zach. This guy's weight seriously affects his speed."

"Ok!"

Randolph's training intensity is constantly being upgraded.

The Knicks can feel James' fighting spirit from top to bottom.

James definitely played this game as a playoff game.

Both Tucker and Randolph couldn't stop them.

Obviously it was a joint defense position, but it was still so easy to be attacked.

Knicks offense.

The Madison Garden Arena is booming.

Wade came directly to mark Lin Rui closely.

Lin Rui took his time and used his back to protect the ball and advance to the frontcourt.

After reaching the top of the arc, Lin Rui gave the ball to Randolph who came out to meet him.

Randolph made another hand-to-hand screen for Lin Rui to block Wade.

Lin Rui launched an attack, going around from behind Randolph and entering the inside lane.

Bosh helped defend Lin Rui, and Lin Rui suddenly accelerated to kill inside after his rhythm changed.

Bosh's defense was very passive, and Lin Rui gave Bosh a flying layup after the confrontation.

The basketball bounced and fell into the hoop! !

2:2.

Lin Rui's goal is not as aggressive as James', but it is simple and efficient.

Neither Wade nor Bosh restrained Lin Rui.

Heat attack.

Chalmers dribbled the ball across half court, this time it was Wade.

Facing Tony Allen's defense, Wade leaned back directly and dragged into the inside.

Tony Allen's defense moved a bit forward, Wade took up his position after turning around, and charged inside again.

Gasol's assisted defense obviously blocked Wade's offensive line with his hands raised high, but Wade still broke through the defense arrogantly.

Wade scored a layup after breaking through the defense.

4 is better than 2

Knicks offense.

Lin Rui dribbled the ball and ran forward.

After Lin Rui ran halfway this time, before halftime, he found that the Heat's defensive attention was on him.

Tony Allen in the frontcourt has already cut inside, no one cares.

Lin Rui sent a long pass directly, piercing the Heat's defense.

The pass was just right.

Tony Allen puts the ball lightly in the air!

"Shh!"

4 is better than 4

Fans at Madison Gardens cheered.

Lin Rui's passing is always full of appreciation.

"Beautiful pass!!" Tony Allen and Lin Rui raised their hands to signal.

"This ball is so cool, boss." Stephenson on the sidelines was also excited.

Watching Lin Rui play on the spot is different from watching Lin Rui play in front of the TV.

Lin Rui's pass tore apart the Heat's defense, and no one knew he would choose such a pass.

"Focus on it, don't miss anyone." James shouted at his teammates.

If you want to beat the Knicks, you need to ensure that every player follows, otherwise Lin Rui will make them suffer! !

Heat offense.

Chalmers dribbles and advances across half court.

Just as Chalmers was about to continue giving the ball to James.

Lin Rui exploded!

Lin Rui attacked like a cheetah the moment Chalmers was about to hit the ball.

"Snapped!"

Lin Rui directly intercepted the ball and sprinted back.

Both James and Wade are trying to chase Lin Rui, but it's useless.

Lin Rui rushed into the three-point line, slowed down to collect the ball, spun 360 degrees in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket! ! !

"frame!!!"

4:6.

Lin Rui's counterattack after sending out a wonderful defense! !

Once again detonated Madison Garden Arena! !
