Chapter 318 The World Has Changed, Strike Iron to Prove the Truth

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy is a little worried. Last season, he felt that the Knicks were a threat. This season, the Knicks not only have a defensive system, but with the addition of Billups, their offense is even smoother than last season.

Of course, a game can't explain anything, but Dafan looks at the details. The Knicks have a lot of experience in dealing with Howard, especially Lin Yi, who can always avoid Howard's defensive area to attack.

The past few years have been Howard's peak period. Lin Yike will not have nothing to challenge the restricted area he ruled. Howard has thin lower limbs and fast movement speed, and can often contribute blood caps when defending.

After returning from the timeout, Da Fan adjusted his defensive strategy and changed his offense to mainly attacking Carter.

Uncle Carter has completed the transition, and he will spend the longest time in the future. After borrowing his teammates to cover the pick-and-roll, Carter hits a three-pointer.

9 to 5. If you want to chase points, defense is the key. Lewis went around to defend Lin Yi, trying to limit Lin Yi's catch. The outside line is directly pulled out, and Nelson's short arm cannot interfere with him.

Swish!

Billups also entered, 12 to 5.

Howard was a little dissatisfied with his teammates' defense. Don't be surprised. When he left the Magic in the future, he once said: "My teammates are all nobody wants."

But in fact, if Howard does not change his mentality and submerge himself in studying the transformation path, as his physical fitness declines, it will be difficult for him to become the key to the outcome of the game.

Stan Van Gundy's one-one-four tactics highlighted the importance of Howard, and it also made this "warcraft" more and more inflated.

It's not that he doesn't have good teammates in the future, not to mention the "happy basketball" during the Lakers period. During the cooperation with Harden, many "Warcraft" fans blamed Harden for not being able to pass the ball.

But actually?

As soon as Howard left the Rockets, Harden won the assists king. Even if the beard was brushed out, where did Capela's cake king come from?

Before the serious injury, Howard relied on his physical talent and the Magic's defensive system to make him look extraordinarily tall. After the serious injury, he still wanted to use the discus to score points. Unless NBA coaches can't count, otherwise it is impossible to use He is the core of the offense.

Some people say that Howard is getting older and his dominance is not as good as it used to be.

But the 38-year-old Jordan is still winning the championship, and the 33-year-old James is becoming more and more difficult to guard.

Outside and inside can not be compared?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Malone, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson, O'Neal, which one is not an old man talking about being a teenager?

Some people say that Howard has an optimistic personality, not that he wants to play happy basketball.

He was still grinning when he missed key free throws in the finals. He was so anxious to lose Kobe, and Harden didn't dare to go to nightclubs (he should still go). What kind of optimistic personality is a "super center" who is still cheerful?

O'Neal has an optimistic personality, he can play as you like off the court, and even if he keeps bickering with a paranoid on the court, he can still win the championship.

Nowitzki has an optimistic personality, black seven, black eight, and reversal are up to you, and he has been defeated repeatedly.

Lin Yi has an optimistic personality. Even if he misses the first 30 shots, he still firmly believes that his 31st shot can be as beautiful as an idol!

Character determines destiny, and details determine success or failure.

Three of the four major centers have taught him everything, and he is not afraid of technical failures, but what is afraid of is that you will not be able to recognize yourself.

Howard used his optimism to conceal the cowardice in his character. As soon as Shark Dayao retreated, he thought he was invincible. Leaving the Magic was the beginning of his fall. Now he is just the last one when the sun goes down. Afterglow.

After the first quarter, Barkley said with emotion: "I now feel that the Knicks and the Magic are not at the same level of team."

Kenny Smith agrees with this point of view: "This Knicks team is too strong. Tonight they will bloom more. The arrival of Billups has completely activated this team."

Howard, who returned to the bench, was unwilling. The appearance of Lin Yi affected his reputation during this period. Now there are fewer and fewer people who say that Howard can replace James alone.

The Magic were able to advance to the Eastern Conference finals last season, and this season they are likely to make it to the Eastern Conference round.

Howard thinks that his teammates are not as good as Lin Yi... well, that's the truth.

What kind of people are Lin Yi's teammates? It's a pity that they are obviously hugging their legs, so you have to praise him for leading the team with a single core.

Shameless, shameless, I have never seen such a brazen person.

You have to regard blacksmithing as personal heroism, you have to regard inefficiency as your teammates, and you have to rely on your teammates to win the game, so you have to say that you are better than yourself.

Lin Yi:? ? ?

...

There is no suspense in the result of the game. The Magic can't play outside, and Howard is useless to overwhelm the river. What's more, he can only splash some water in the creek tonight?

118 to 86, the Knicks beat the Magic in the away game, and the first game was successful after the transaction was completed.

Lin Yi played only 29 minutes in the game, 10 of 17, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. He scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks.

Billups played 27 minutes, 4 of 7, all three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds.

"Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari exploded tonight, making 11 of 14, including 5 of 6 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

Howard is the best player for the Magic. There is one thing to say. During this period, Warcraft rebounded and defended very well. Howard made 5 of 11 and 2 of 8 free throws. He scored 12 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. .

Stan Van Gundy said bluntly after the game: "After the transaction is completed, the Knicks have no obvious shortcomings. This season, I think the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference are the Knicks and the Heat."

Da Fan really didn't look down on himself, so why didn't he want to tell the management in this way: We need to trade.

Howard accepted the interview like a child after the game, and he joked with the reporter humorously, as if he didn't see the strength gap between the Magic and the Knicks after the fiasco.

Billups praised Lin Yi in an interview: "To be honest, before I came to New York, I was always uneasy, but I have to say that Lin is a great leader. It is a pleasure to work with him. He knows how to come to New York. Leading teammates, more importantly he is only 21 years old this year!"

The reporters couldn't help shaking their heads, why did every player who played in the Knicks praise Lin Yi?

And Billups boasted, something went wrong... because some reporters who like to provoke troubles turned around and came up with a report "Billups thinks Anthony is not as good as Lin Yi".

The most important thing is that this view has also been supported by many people.

"This world has really changed." O'Neill sighed.
