Chapter 175: A Big Event Breaks Out! Dawn in the Dark!

On January 1, the New York Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks 112 to 108 in an away game, ushering in the team's first victory in 2010.

The game was very stalemate. The Eagle King singles Joe was in good shape, making 11 of 23 shots, plus free throws, and scored a total of 35 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds.

In this game, the inside line formed by Josh Smith, who was still flying into the sky, and the honest man Horford, successfully restricted Lin Yi's performance.

The main reason for the Knicks to finally win this game is because David Lee, the floor player, ushered in a big explosion. Knicks fans even shouted in the away game: "Amazing! My left-handed brother!" Such a slogan.

David Lee seemed to be possessed by Mullin's soul this night, no matter how he played, he scored 38 points and 21 rebounds in the game

30+20 oversized double pairs!

Lin Yi also benefited from this, scoring a career-high 18 assists!

Lin Yi only took 8 shots in this game, most of the time he played the role of an organizer, and 3 of his 8 shots were at the end of the game.

Hawks head coach Woodson couldn't help but wonder after the game: "Couldn't he turn to focus more on organizing the team's offense because our defense is very targeted at him?"

Woodson found the conjecture a little weird.

Because Lin Yi is only 20 years old, even if he has a very high basketball IQ, he is still a rookie in the NBA, how could he have such a strong ability to read the game.

In fact, Woodson didn't know that Lin Yi decisively switched his style after seeing the Eagles' defensive formation. The reason is very simple. Horford is an insider with good mobility, unlike those low-post big butts. Horford has a slender figure and has developed a three-point ability in the future, shooting 42.1% of his three-pointers.

Horford has speed, height, and wingspan. He relies on defense and support. He will be the inside axis of the future Eagles and Celtics.

If there is only one Horford, the key is that Josh Smith is now at the peak of his career!

Josh Smith hit the stats of 1000+500+200+100+200 at the peak of his career. He was proficient in blocking shots, steals, and dunks. Josh Smith is a typical shot-chasing expert. Excellent.

Lin Yi knew that the eagle had dug a hole for him, so how could he still jump into it?

As for David Lee's big explosion in this game,

The main reason is that Lin Yi gave him a sense of touch. For a player like David Lee, it doesn't matter how high you jump against him. David Lee doesn't face you head-on.

David Lee played better and better, and Lin Yi simply retreated behind the scenes, becoming the lighthouse of the Knicks, illuminating the dawn of victory for the Knicks going forward.

As for the career-high number of assists, Lin Yi really didn't pay attention. The NBA's assists are relatively loose. There were several balls that Lin Yi passed and did not form a direct offensive opportunity, but David Lee got them in. up.

This method of assists is similar to Rondo Lang's guidance. Don't look at the fact that Rondo has a lot of assists in his career, but if you want to pick a wonderful pass, the talents of Nash, Magic Johnson, and White Chocolate are king.

The only difference from Lang's guidance is that Lin Yi is a scorer with an average of 20+ per game. The Eagles are very concerned about him, so David Li Mingming exploded in place, and the Eagles dare not defend.

New year and new weather, the Eagles are also a strong team in the Eastern Conference. After the Knicks won, everyone is in a very good mood.

...

The Knicks' schedule in January was a lot easier. There was only one back-to-back, and the schedule was easy. D'Antoni also arranged for the players to rest and recover blood in time.

After entering January, it is a period of high incidence of injuries for NBA teams. The team's performance is good, and D'Antoni naturally thinks more long-term.

However, on the same day that the Knicks had just returned to New York, ESPN, JRS Voice, BS TV...almost all the media exposed a piece of news at the same time!

Lin Yi is no stranger to this news, as expected, what should come will still come.

The "gun door" incident that shocked the United States broke out!

Regarding the "Gun Gate" incident, Lin Yi was most impressed by the different testimonies of the two parties after the event. Arenas, one of the parties, said that the two did not point guns at each other at all, and that he was helping his teammates McGee got back his gambling money before he had a dispute with Crittenton.

The other party, Crittenton, said that it was Arenas who owed him $1,100 in gambling money and did not pay him back. In addition, he was afraid that Arenas would really "shoot" him, so he would bring a gun just in case.

In any case, the outbreak of the "Gun Gate" incident immediately aroused great dissatisfaction with the NBA from all walks of life in the American society!

Originally, this group of black players with high salaries were disgusted by all kinds of spending time and drinking. The "gun door" incident suddenly touched the forbidden word in the American public opinion circle: guns.

As a fan in his previous life, it was difficult for Lin Yi to understand why the "gun door" incident had such a bad impact, but in this life in the United States, he understood.

Xiao Zhong’s children’s shoes told him, “In the United States, shootings happen almost every year. People are very sensitive to the topic of gun violence. As one of the four major sports leagues, the NBA is on the cusp. In fact, many people in the NBA have guns. Players who are certified like to carry guns, but just imagine, if Arenas and Crittenton couldn't help but shoot, how much public opinion pressure would the NBA have to bear?"

The consequences of the "gun door" are serious. In fact, the real date of this incident was Christmas Eve last year. After the Wizards lost to the Suns in an away game, Arenas and Crittenton were on the plane There was a dispute.

Lin Yi knew that the most authentic version should be the one described by the third bystander, Caron Butler.

McGee is nothing more than a rhetoric for Arenas to whitewash himself.

Whether it is for Arenas or Crittenton, Lin Yi feels that there is nothing to be sorry for. Crittenton shot and killed a woman named Julian Jones in 2011 after leaving the NBA. You know, that's an innocent mother of four...

Crittenton was later sentenced to 23 years in prison. From the NBA to prison, Crittenton explained what it means to die if you don't die.

What is there to sympathize with such a scumbag?

Arenas also committed suicide, because whether it is the version recalled by Caron Butler or the version recalled by Jamison, the fuse of this matter is simply that the "general" wants to play tricks.

At that time, he played cards with Crittenton on the plane. After losing $1,100, Arenas wanted to renege on the debt, but he didn't expect that Crittenton, a stunned young man, would not give Arenas any face. The nose just said he was a scoundrel.

Arenas didn't expect that a fringe member of the team would dare to treat him like this, so Arenas, who played with his temper, was unwilling to give money, and even had a big fight with Crittenton.

According to Butler’s later description, he persuaded Arenas at the time that you are an NBA star with an annual salary of tens of millions, and there is no need to compare the $1,100 with a player who earns only two to three hundred thousand a year with a basic salary. How could Arenas listen to it?

What he cares about is not money, but face.

So Arenas, who wanted to save face, threatened Crittenton that he would bring a gun to the locker room, but Crittenton did not hesitate and said that he would bring a gun.

Two days later, in the Wizards locker room, Arenas and Crittenton got into an argument again. At first, his teammates booed, thinking they were just joking. Unexpectedly, Arenas actually brought two Unloaded gun, and he pointed to Crittenton and said let him choose one.

As a result, Crittenton laughed, took out a loaded gun and pointed it at Arenas.

Arenas must have panicked at the time. From the fact that the two guns he brought were unloaded, it can be seen that Arenas really just wanted to scare Crittenton.

It's a pity that Crittenton is a real murderer, so who cares about this?

The Wizards players who were booing before were terrified and ran out of the locker room one by one, and even some timid ones immediately called 911.

Wizards head coach Philip Saunders was too scared to enter the locker room at the time, and the entire Wizards team was filled with an extremely terrifying atmosphere.

At the critical moment, Butler's persuasion had an effect. He warned Crittenton, you are still young, if this shot is fired, your life will be over. After Steve exited the locker room first, he didn't press the trigger.

As soon as this incident happened, Wizards general manager Glenn Field made up his mind to trade everyone away. The Wizards were done, and Glennfield knew the seriousness of this matter.

It is impossible to cover the fire with paper, especially when a timid Wizards player called the police immediately.

Arenas originally thought that he might only be suspended for one or two games at most, but as more and more details of the "gun door" were exposed, the NBA received more and more negative comments. NBA President David Stern I can't stand it any longer!

He immediately announced that Arenas and Crittenton will be suspended for the next season!

50 games!

Following the Auburn Hills palace brawl and the Knicks boxing Pachulia incident in the preseason of the new season, the league once again issued a heavyweight ticket.

And the Wizards don't have to pay Arenas for the rest of the season.

Stern was almost pissed off when he found out about this incident. You know, he managed to change people's stereotype of the NBA who likes to fight and wrestle!

Why should Stern actively support James and ignore Anthony? It's because James is a good guy!

He is a model among black players, knows how to manage money, and can speak.

The reason why Harden lost to Westbrook in the future VP selection is that there are too many negative news about Harden.

As one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, the social influence of the NBA is very high. These stars are the idols of many young people, but when these idols are instigating crimes, how can parents let their children continue to pay attention to the NBA? ?

The complete outbreak of the "gun door" incident cast a layer of dust on the entire NBA in the 2009/10 season. For a while, all NBA teams launched a ban on guns, prohibiting players from bringing firearms into the locker room.

After David Stern issued the suspension order, he felt that he had no love in his life.

The president is very tired. Don't these black players know that they should keep a low profile after making money? Don't think that Methaway is anything, because in Stern's eyes, there are a lot of Methaways in the NBA...

"I really want to retire." Stern thought to himself.

Just when Stern had nothing to love, a ray of light in the darkness is about to appear...
