Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Seven
Just when people were imagining what it would be like for Lin Yi to participate in the slam dunk contest, on February 7, the Knicks and the Celtics reached a deal, Nate Robinson and Eddie House swapped the owner.
For the Knicks, Nate Robinson is an unstable factor in the locker room. D'Antoni doesn't like to use Nate. Instead of letting him be on the Knicks' waiver list, it is better to use him for a slightly more useful player. .
So the Celtics were very happy to take over. Eddie House is a good shooter, but the Celtics' second team needs an attacker who can shoot suddenly. Nate Robinson's physical fitness is better than Eddie House. On top of this, both parties in this transaction get what they need.
Soon after the transaction was completed, Nate Robinson almost couldn't wait to report to the Celtics. In Nate's eyes, he encountered inhuman treatment in New York. In contrast, the Celtics are a championship team .
So when he learned that he was going to the Celtics, Nate Robinson's inner thought was: go to the peaty garbage New York, and see how I can win the championship!
In an interview with the media, Nate Robinson said excitedly: "I have been a Celtics fan since I was a child. I love the city of Boston. I think I can help the Celtics win the championship."
Nate originally thought that his words would move the Celtics fans, but he didn't expect that the Celtics fans didn't care about him at all, and even some Celtics fans thought that the team's management lacked consideration in this transaction.
Although House is just a pitcher, he can hardly do anything except three-pointers, but his popularity in the Celtics is not low, especially the Celtics have specially formulated many three-point tactics for House. The second time House came off the bench, Celtics fans would cheer for him, expecting him to make a three-pointer.
After seeing Nate Robinson's interview report, Lin Yi knew that Nate was "exerting too much force" this time.
Help the Celtics win the championship?
Lin Yi felt that Nate might be living in a dream.
...
On February 8, the Knicks continued their road trip, this time they came to Chicago to challenge the Bulls.
The head coach of the Bulls in the 09/0 season is not Tom Thibodeau, their current head coach is Vinnie DeNagro.
At this time, Rose already had the nickname of "Wind City Rose". As the No. 1 pick in the NBA in 2008, Rose's physical talent was quite amazing. At the peak of his career, all kinds of incredible aerial folds and big drawbars often made opponents doubt their lives.
Opponents often react like this when facing Rose: Is this ball going to be blocked? ha? in? Fuck! Really awesome!
Rose's breakthrough speed is extremely fast,
Especially the step of changing direction and starting speed, which is different from Westbrook's straight-forward, Derrick Rose's style of play is quite a bit straight.
Of course, this kind of unsolvable style of play is not without cost. Rose's breakthrough has a lot of sudden turns and stops. Simply put, it is a waste of knees. It's really like a rose, it's so bright when it blooms, and it's so embarrassing when it withers...
But in this game, the Knicks have to face Rose before he was injured.
Before the game, the American media called this game the No. 1 pick, especially since Rose and Lin Yi are now leading the revival of Chicago and New York respectively. Before the game, the media compared the statistics of Lin Yi and Rose, even if they are not A position, but also to compare the superiority, points high and low.
New York fans think that the Knicks have a better record in the new season, so Lin Yi is stronger; Bulls fans express dissatisfaction, thinking that Rose's style of play is more enjoyable; A collection of Lin Yi's various fancy tricks came out on YouTube.
The fans of the two teams didn't agree with each other, but the Knicks were playing away after all, so when Lin Yi played, they received a lot of boos.
Chicago fans love Rose very much, and they think Rose will definitely lead the Bulls back to glory.
So they naturally don't want Lin Yi's limelight to overshadow Rose. This season, Rose played 37 minutes per game for the Bulls, scoring 2 points, 5.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage reached 48.9%.
Seeing Rose's various dunks during the warm-up, Lin Yi was really moved. It's a pity that Rose's shooting has never been easy, but it might be strange if his shoulder-throwing bomb-throwing posture is accurate.
The future Rose has modified his shooting posture after a serious injury, but his long-range shooting ability is as fragile as his knee.
So after suffering injuries, Rose has no other weapons.
The opposite of Rose is Paul George who has not yet entered the league. Paul George also suffered a serious injury that could destroy his career.
But after that serious injury, Paul George completed a complete transformation, worked hard on his long-range shooting ability, and switched to playing off the ball.
After the transformation was completed, Paul George rarely played singles with the ball, relying on his excellent catch and shoot and defense, he returned to the ranks of the All-Stars.
Moreover, Paul George's transformation has also reduced his chances of injury. Even in singles, George mainly focuses on direct pull-ups, and rarely goes to the inside to head-on.
...
Before the game started, Lin Yi noticed that Ross would glance at him from time to time. To Ross, Lin Yi is really a very magical species!
Rose watched Lin Yi's game video, and thought it was incredible that Lin Yi could do those dribbles.
Rose is introverted, not good at communicating with people, and usually talks less, so when he saw Lin Yi talking and laughing with his teammates before the game, he was very envious.
In fact, it's not that Rose doesn't want to communicate with people, but that he doesn't know how to communicate.
Rose, who became famous at a young age, has been playing and training non-stop almost since he came into contact with basketball. When he was 0 years old, many agents came here especially for him.
In high school, Rose’s coach Bob Hambrick took good care of Rose. After entering college, the head coach of the University of Memphis, Calipari, also protected Rose. Rose’s career is too smooth, smooth It can make many NBA players doubt life, and perhaps it is precisely because of this smoothness and too much protection since childhood that Rose lacks the ability to face adversity.
To put it bluntly, character is also the key to a player becoming an All-Star and then a superstar. Rose's character and style of play largely make it inevitable that he will encounter those injuries by accident.
...
Just as the players of both sides gathered around the middle circle to start the match, the close-ups of the broadcast screen were also given to the protagonists of the two teams tonight: Lin Yi and Rose.
The champion in 2008 VS the champion in 2009.
"Wind City Rose" vs. "Apple City Devil", who is better?
With the referee throwing the ball high into the air, the game started...
