A different point guard path

The preseason schedule is very dense, and they need to complete 7 preseason games within half a month.

林锐并没有每一场比赛都打，主要打了其中的5场，然后平均上场26分钟，场均贡献15分8助攻7篮板4抢断2封盖的全能数据。

It seems that Lin Rui's data is not good. Then, the Knicks had a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

Oden averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds per game in the preseason, and Durant averaged a phenomenal 31 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Compared with these two, the No. [-] pick Lin Rui seems to have fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage.

"The No. 2 pick has worse data than the 3nd and [-]rd positions."

"In the draft, the Knicks obviously made a mistake. Lin Rui shouldn't be the first pick."

"Lin is great, but he shouldn't have been drafted first."

The media environment in New York was exposed when Lin Rui played in the preseason.

The media here can't wait to start criticizing the Knicks management's choice.

The media preconceived that the decisions made by Dolan and Thomas were always wrong.

Lin Rui has long been used to this kind of media atmosphere, so he is no stranger to it.

Of course, Knicks fans are not all idiots. The famous director Spike Lee said in a program: "When Lin Rui was on the court, the Knicks' offensive fluency was much smoother. In the rhythm of victory, the Knicks lost so many preseason games because the rest of the Knicks played too badly. Except for Lin Rui, everyone else was only thinking about personal data, and did not think about the team. If you take your victory to heart, your opponents can easily deal with them."

Spike Lee's words did not get the support of the New York media. The media generally said that Lin Rui still did not have the temperament of a leader, and he needed better data to prove that he was better.

On October 10, the league opener kicked off.

The Knicks did not play in October, and Lin Rui watched the Boston Celtics game at home.

The Boston Celtics, who formed the historic Big Three, detonated the free market this summer. No one would have thought that Garnett and Ray Allen would join the Celtics at the same time, and form the historic Big Three with Paul Pierce.

This season, the Celtics have become the team with the highest calls to win the championship.

The Celtics defeated the Orlando Magic 90-69 in their first game opener.

You know, the Magic with Howard is not a weak team, but they only scored 69 points on the Celtics team!

The Celtics led by Garnett gave other teams a blow in the opening game.

This season, all teams that want to compete for the championship have to consider how to face such a Big Three.

Of course, the competition with the teams in the Eastern Conference is more direct. They will meet them many times in the regular season, and it is difficult to avoid direct competition with them in the playoffs.

However, Lin Rui didn't need to think so far.

What Lin Rui needs to do now is to try to win the opening game.

The opponent of the Knicks opener is the Cavaliers.

11 month 1 day.

The well-prepared Cavaliers arrived in New York early, ready to start their 07-08 season.

The Cavaliers were the champions of the Eastern Conference last year. Logically speaking, the first game should be arranged for them at home.

But helpless, their home court is in Cleveland, and the league prefers to arrange the first matchup between the two in New York.

Lin Rui vs James, such a plot is also exciting enough.

There are two templates for Lin Rui to enter the league, one is the magician and the other is James.

This is because Lin Rui has the same tall body and excellent passing ability as the two of them.

This makes them look a bit similar.

........

Lin Rui had a lot of tactical issues with head coach Isaiah Thomas this month.

Lin Rui hopes to play the model of "One Star Four Shooting" and "Super Rocket".

The Knicks need to increase the offensive ratio of three-pointers to the basket. Lin Rui hopes to use his offensive deterrence to help outside players open up space.

Make the Knicks' offense more efficient.

Reduce the relatively inefficient singles of Randolph and David Lee inside.

There is also a problem that Crawford often makes difficult shots after he makes a fool of himself from the outside.

These are the reasons why the Knicks' preseason record is ugly.

Lin Rui's ideas are mature in all aspects. Isaiah Thomas thinks that if Lin Rui wants to play this mode, he will try to see it.

Now the Knicks urgently need to make changes.

The Smiling Assassin's status in the Knicks is firmly tied to Lin Rui, after all, Lin Rui is a player he personally selected.

The relationship between him and Lin Rui is relatively harmonious, which is why Lin Rui thinks he can try to persuade the coach.

Lin Rui also did a great job in handling interpersonal relationships.

11 month 2 day.

The day the game started.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Thomas did not arrange any high-intensity training in the morning. He hoped that the players would have sufficient physical fitness to deal with the fierce battle at night.

Facing last season's Eastern Conference champions, the Knicks are at a disadvantage in all aspects.

New York fans and the media don't expect the Knicks, who were still a bad team last season, to pose too much threat to the Cavaliers after they get a No. [-] pick.

They are very open to tonight's victory and defeat, they just hope that the team will not lose too badly.

In the afternoon, the entire Knicks boarded a bus and headed to Madison Gardens.

Lin Rui put on big headphones and listened to Taylor Swift's new song.

Sitting by the car window, looking at the passing scenery with both eyes and thinking.

Lin Rui has seen the prosperity of New York a long time ago, and it is not worse than Los Angeles at all.

Manhattan, Wall Street, various Fortune 500 companies, and the logos of well-known companies are displayed on the side of the road.

Times Square, Broadway, Chinatown, Columbia University, NYU.

Lin Rui looked at the iconic road signs passing by.

Suddenly at this moment, Lin Rui also had a new goal.

Lin Rui wants the people in this city to go crazy because of him!

He wants to conquer New York just like Michael Jordan conquered Chicago!

He's going to be an absolute superstar in New York!

Lin Rui hopes that the fans here will scream and shout when they hear his name in the future!

Before today, Lin Rui was somewhat confused about his future. He had short-term goals, but he had not established long-term goals.

Now, Lin Rui has established his own long-term goals.

The bus took a detour before reaching Madison Gardens.

At this time, a bunch of fans and media surrounded the arena.

Lin Rui got out of the car.

"Kakkaka!"

The flash went on and on.

Even if the Knicks are a bad team, even if they have a poor record.

But this is New York!

The Knicks are a team that will never lack attention.

Lin Rui is wearing Li Ning's sportswear version today, plus his handsome appearance.

Lin Rui was full of aura, and the media also liked to take pictures of Lin Rui.

To another extent, this is also the reason why the media likes to film Lin Rui's gossip.

If it's other ugly nba players, the media doesn't pay much attention and curiosity to their affairs.

Fans and the media like to watch gossip stories like Lin Rui, Taylor Swift and Scarlett.

Passing the interview hall.

LeBron James is already doing interviews.

The arrival of Lin Rui instantly reduced the number of reporters around James by half.

After a while, the reporters around Lin Rui were almost the same as those around James.

Zou Lin'an won't be crowded here with these reporters, she can always get special treatment from Lin Rui backstage...
