Chapter 106 Wake up, I'm a Center Forward!

Lin Yi played only 6 minutes in the first quarter before being replaced by D'Antoni.

In the first quarter, he contributed 2 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The data is difficult to fully reflect Lin Yi's improvement to the entire New York Knicks team.

But you must know that in order to limit Lin Yi, the Heat can only use Haslem to defend him.

Haslem moved faster than O'Neal. Facing his defense, the witty Lin Yi would not attack.

Although Lin Yi has a height advantage, the first quarter is not Lin Yi's focus. If he wants to be efficient, save energy and bring a substitute lineup is the kingly way.

After all, it is Lin - how efficient and how come - easy.

The Heat coach Spoelstra on the sidelines was also relieved for O'Neal after seeing Lin Yi go down. It is not a good thing for the center to follow the opponent back and forth like this.

Riley is dismissive of Lin Yi's current style of play. In his opinion, Lin Yi will be more dominant if he learns the low post game well. If the striker can't take it by force, it is a failure in his eyes.

On the court, New York replaced Nate Robinson with "I can't help it".

Nate Robinson, who is 175 cm tall, has amazing jumping ability. He has won the NBA's slam dunk title, and even beat Yao Ming, who is 226 cm tall.

The future Thomas Jr. has already been called a big mouth. I don’t know how much money he lost by opening his mouth, but compared to Thomas Jr., Nate Robinson is really arrogant.

D'Antoni replaced Nate because the team recently wanted to trade him out.

But as soon as Nate came on stage, he immediately turned into an undercover agent.

Nate Robinson didn't care what to do when he got the ball. Gallinari, the commander of the second battalion outside, waited for the ball but couldn't pass it to him. He couldn't fire the Italian gun when he was empty. Tired, he really wanted to go down and rest, and then go to bed with Lin Yi later.

The leading New York Knicks were successfully overtaken by the Heat because of an undercover agent.

After the first quarter, the Heat lead 33 to 26.

"D'Antoni replaced Lin Yi so early, probably because he wanted him to bring a substitute like he did in the preseason." Zhang Reasonable said.

"It looks like this, Lin Yi played better with the substitute lineup." Yu Jia added.

Sure enough, Lin Yi played at the beginning of the second quarter, and Nate Robinson, who thought he was playing well with 2 of 7 shots, was thrown back to the bench by D'Antoni.

Lin Yi remembers that Nate Robinson was traded to the Celtics by the Knicks not long after he played in the previous life. Even D’Antoni, a master of training point guards, could not train Nate Robinson. You can imagine how Nate Robinson is. How low is the golf quotient...

In fact, if Nate Robinson is willing to pass the ball more, his contract will definitely be bigger than the one he is playing now. His physical fitness is amazing, his strength is good, and his speed is fast.

We must know that the NBA in this period will not be as brainless as it will be in the future. Nate Robinson's living environment is much better than that of Thomas Jr., but it's a pity that this guy's brain...

"Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari performed mediocre in the first quarter and was replaced four minutes early.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he played with Lin Yi. D'Antoni likes Gallinari very much, not only because they are both Italians, but because Gallinari is indeed a very good pitcher.

His physical fitness is as good as that of Novak and Kapono, and his athletic ability is absolutely superior among white people. In addition, Gallinari can also hold the ball and cheat fouls. Lin Yi remembers this handsome Italian guy in the 15/16 NBA season Averaged 8.2 free throws per game.

D'Antoni is preparing to arrange a small lineup to play with the Heat, center Lin Yi, power forward Gallinari, small forward Wilson Chandler, shooting guard Larry Hughes, and point guard Tony Douglas.

Heat coach Spoelstra was dumbfounded.

It is indeed a small lineup, but Gallinari is 208 cm, and Wilson Chandler is 203 cm. What kind of small lineup is this?

In contrast, the Heat's second team backup center Joel Anthony is only 206 centimeters, we are a small lineup, okay?

Call the police! Call the police! 911? Someone on the opposite side pretends to be 13!

...

The Miami Heat quickly felt the impact of the New York Knicks' bench.

Riley, who thought Lin Yi didn't know any low-post skills, was dumbfounded, because from the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Yi began to keep asking for the ball in the low post.

Joel Anthony's speed is not slow, and it's not worthwhile to hit him with a breakthrough. It consumes too much energy. It's not as easy as Lin Yi asking for the ball directly from the low post.

Lin Yi is not heavy, but Joel Anthony is lighter than him, and the most important thing is that he is short.

I saw Lin Yi turning over and shooting jumpers, various footsteps, and left and right hooks. The Heat had no choice but to pinch Lin Yi. Now the second battalion commander finally pulled out the Italian cannon.

With Lin Yi's assist, Gallinari scored three three-pointers in a row, and the Knicks opened up the gap in an instant.

"Sure enough, the hamburger is served with Lin, and it's a beef hamburger!" Gallinari thought to himself.

In desperation, the Heat asked for a timeout and switched back to the starting lineup. The Knicks also adjusted and switched back to the starting lineup. Facts have proved that as long as the game is not so anxious that D'Antoni has a headache, he will still use the substitute.

Spoelstra felt that Lin Yi's opening in the low post had something to do with letting Joel Anthony defend him, so he decided to use Haslem to freeze Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was also unambiguous, handed over the ball, and directly started an air cut. Chris Duhong turned into Liu Wei, threw it into the sky and it was over.

bang! bang!

Is the lord of the city of empty pick-ups just a waste of fame?

It's over now, the Heat's defense can't keep up, and Wade alone can't withstand the firepower of the Knicks, but who can help Wade?

Mike Beasley? Seeing his sluggish performance, Spoelstra wondered if he smoked marijuana to play?

In fact, I really don’t blame Beasley. New York used Chandler and Harrington to defend Mike Beasley in turns in the second quarter. Beasley was not fast at first, but he was about the same height and stronger than him. For these two, he can only attack by pulling up. The NBA is not the NCAA, and Beasley can't play misplaced, so he doesn't have any advantage at all.

At this time, his three-pointers were poor, and he couldn't even do the most basic space.

After the first half, the New York Knicks led 65 to 51.

The Heat's proud defense was shot through by the Knicks in the first half.

Today, the Knicks' outside shooters are very accurate. This is the advantage of the shooting team. If your hands are smooth, you can't defend against them. On the contrary, even if you don't defend against them, you can't make it.

The Knicks were not possessed by the Rockets with 27 consecutive irons, and Gallinari was not tied.

Gallinari, who was required to shoot 8 three-pointers per game and would be punished for running the circle if he missed the shot, took 7 three-pointers in the first half, made 4 of them, and scored 14 points and 3 rebounds.

Al Harrington also shot 6 three-pointers, hit 3, got 11 points and 4 rebounds.

Chris Duhon made 2 three-pointers, hit 1, 5 points and 2 assists.

Wilson Chandler threw 4 three-pointers and made 2 of them. In addition to two fast break counterattacks, he scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Tony Douglas made 2 of 3 three-pointers and scored 6 points.

Nate Robinson was the toughest Knicks player in the first half. He made 0 of 4 three-pointers.

Lin Yi didn't make a three-pointer in the first half, and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

Especially his various low singles in the first half seemed to hit Riley in the face.

Riley: It's not right for you to fight like this, let me tell you...

Lin Yi: Wake up! I'm a center forward!

Riley:  …

"Lin Yi played more like Yao Ming today." Zhang Lili said.

"Facts have proved that Lin Yi has the potential to become a super center, and he also has such skills, but the impression he left on us is that he prefers to break through the dribble." Yu Jia added.

"This is the quality that a good player should have. He knows how to use his advantages to drive the team and play more reasonably. The Knicks players have a new look today. Except for Nate Robinson, they all played better than last season. " Zhang Lili said.

"Gallinari only averaged 6 points per game last season. If he can continue to play like this, he might be able to make the All-Star." Yu Jia said.

The Knicks fans saw it, and they felt that this Knicks team had really become stronger.

Not only is the style of play good-looking, but also dare to shoot.

Lin Yi is not the kind of cancer who can only attack alone but waste his teammates. He is the core of this Knicks team.
