A different point guard road

Espn's commentator Brin said when talking about Lin Rui: "Lin Rui is probably the strongest rookie we have ever seen. Lin Rui is almost challenging the league structure with his own strength this year. Under Lin Rui's leadership, the Knicks also successfully rushed out of the East and lost after fighting with the Lakers."

Van Gundy said: "The Knicks' core team building is very clear. Next, we will strengthen Lin Rui. I think the Knicks will be even more terrifying next season!!"

.....

"Lin Rui can leave with his head raised!"

"Hey, I'm a Lakers fan, but why am I unhappy? Because Lin Rui lost?"

"Lin Rui is really hard-working, but he was cheated by the Knicks' operations."

"I hope the Knicks will have an All-Star coming next season to help Lin Rui and fire Thomas, which is too incompetent."

Domestic Lin Rui fans also expressed regret for this result!

.....

"Dang, the season is over, and you will win the runner-up in the finals and reward 200 win points."

The reward is very generous, but Lin Rui is not happy.

Lin Rui entered the shower room and took a shower.

After taking a shower, I followed Coach Thomas out for an interview.

Coach Thomas took the lead in bringing the microphone over. He did not ask the reporter to ask questions, but said first: "I take all responsibility for the loss of this year's finals. I will resign from my position as head coach and then do my best to help the team sign ups in the summer!"

Coach Thomas resigned very poorly!

Thomas is the general manager part-time head coach. He doesn't do it anymore, he has to focus on team operations.

"Kake!!"

Lin Rui knew about Thomas' decision when he was already in the locker room, and he respected Thomas' choice.

Although Coach Thomas did not give Lin Rui much guidance, he gave Lin Rui the greatest space for free growth.

The flash kept on turning on, and Thomas became the first NBA head coach to announce his resignation this summer.

The reporters pointed the microphone at Lin Rui.

"Lin Rui, what do you think of Coach Thomas' resignation?"

"Is there any summary of this final?"

"What do you think is the main reason why the Knicks lost the series?"

"Will you participate in the team's trade in the summer?"

"What kind of rookie do you think the Knicks will choose this year?"

"How should the Knicks strengthening be carried out?"

Thomas chose to leave, but Lin Rui could not leave.

Lin Rui answered questions from reporters one by one.

Mature!

Still confident!

This is the perception of the reporters seeing Lin Rui’s calm mentality.

Lin Rui also grew up after experiencing failure.

The interview lasted half an hour.

Then Lin Rui followed the team back to the bus, headed to the airport, and flew back to New York!

At the airport in New York, Thomas announced the disbandment of the team and officially entered the holiday!!

....

....

The Knicks players are on vacation, but Thomas and the management have not yet had a vacation.

There are many more jobs in their work.

The first is the NBA draft.

The Knicks have a No. 8 draw this year, then a No. 2 draw in the second round and a No. 3 draw in the second round.

These three draws were not obtained based on the record, but were obtained by exchanging transactions with other teams before.

Otherwise, with the Knicks' record, the Knicks' signings will be very low, and the management needs to study them carefully.

Thomas has also been communicating with Lin Rui about the situation of the rookie to be selected.

The Knicks already have a preliminary plan and have multiple alternatives to choose from.

In addition to the draft, we are going to find a suitable head coach for the Knicks.

Similarly, there are also some candidates for the Knicks' successor head coach, but they still need to be inspected and interviewed.

Although Thomas has no position as head coach, he has received support from Lin Rui and continues to be the general manager. He is still full of energy.

.........

Lin Rui's side.

It was already late at night when I got home.

Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran were waiting for Lin Rui to come back.

"Brother Rui, thank you for your hard work." Li Feifei said as she helped Lin Rui walk towards the room with her luggage bag.

"It's nothing to lose the game, you are the best." Zeng Xiaoran also comforted Lin Rui.

Zeng Xiaoran could feel that Lin Rui was in a bad mood.

"Well, I'm fine." Lin Rui said.

Zeng Xiaoran would occasionally come to accompany Li Feifei when she was away, and the relationship between the two was still very secret.

"Brother Rui, I've fried rice. You can eat something to keep your stomach." Li Feifei put down her luggage and said.

"Yes." Lin Rui walked towards the dining table.

Sit down and finish the fried rice bite by bit.

Although she was in a normal mood, Lin Rui still enjoyed Li Feifei's kindness.

After eating fried rice, Lin Rui and Li Feifei went back to their room.

.....

.....

"Lin, how many days of vacation do you want in summer?" Early the next morning, agent Schwartz called.

"Give me ten days off." Lin Rui said.

"Okay, then I'll schedule it to send it to your email later." Schwartz said.

"Okay!" Lin Rui said.

Lin Rui is very busy in summer, has many endorsements, and advertising shooting requires running.

During the ten-day holiday, I accompanied Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran back to my hometown.

Then Li Feifei would accompany Lin Rui to endorse and conduct advertising shooting, and the two would travel together while working.

The itinerary is all in the country, so it won't be very troublesome.

Lin Rui doesn't want to waste his time on things other than basketball.

This season is to accumulate original funds.

After the start of next season, Lin Rui will reduce these tasks, after all, Lin Rui is not short of money.

In addition to these personal affairs, Lin Rui's biggest job is to be busy with the Olympics.

The Beijing Olympics are Olympics held at your doorstep. Lin Rui will join the training team after the holiday!

In addition to Lin Rui, other national team members have started training.

Lin Rui had to play in the finals and then had to rest, so he was postponed.

...........

June 27.

The draft was held at the Madison Garden Arena.

Lin Rui attended the draft as a member of the Knicks.

Lin Rui and Thomas sat in the box together discussing the draft.

There is no suspense about the No. 1 pick, and the Bulls chose Derek Rose from the University of Memphis.

Derek Ross was also compared with Lin Rui in the same period last year.

Ross is a breakthrough defender. He has great talent, but his shooting ability is not good.

This is in sharp contrast to Lin Rui.

The Chicago media also don’t ask Ross to be as good as Lin Rui. They just hope that Ross won’t fall out of water.

Lin Rui, who is familiar with history, is naturally very clear. Ross cannot say that he is the youngest MVP. If it weren't for injury, his achievements would have been higher!

After getting off the stage, Ross was asked by a reporter: "Many people compare you with Lin Rui, the No. 1 pick last year. What do you think?"

Ross said modestly: "Lin Rui is a rookie at the historical level. I have watched many of his games. He is very mature and powerful. I am not as good as him now, but I will try my best to catch up with him."

It is not embarrassing to admit that it is worse than Lin Rui, after all, Lin Rui's record and personal data were too tough last season.

Miami chose Beasley at No. 2, and Timberwolves chose OJ Mayo at No. 3, but soon, the Timberwolves exchanged Mayo for Love at No. 5 selected by Grizzlies.

....

After discussion between Lin Rui and Thomas.

The Knicks finally chose Royhibert with the No. 8 draw, DeAndrew Jordan with the No. 2 draw in the second round, and Golan Dragic with the No. 3 draw in the second round.

Lin Rui finally chose to use the draft pick to strengthen the No. 5 position and No. 1 position.

Hibert and Jordan Jr. are tall and have the ability to protect the frame. Although they do not have the ability to attack independently, the Knicks never expect No. 5 to launch an attack.

As for free agent strengthening, Lin Rui is preparing to ask Thomas to find someone in the free market.

Lin Rui wrote a few names for Thomas to operate.

Tyson Chandler, PJ Tucker, Korver, Tony Allen, Lagabel.

After handing over everything to Thomas, Lin Rui stopped caring about it.

Lin Rui and Li Feifei began their own holiday life.

After returning to his hometown, Lin Rui's parents basically regarded Li Feifei as their daughter-in-law.

They keep urging their marriage.

Lin Ruitou is getting bigger.

After finally agreeing to get the certificate at their legal age, Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of July.

Lin Rui flew to Beijing and was about to start a training camp, while Li Feifei flew back to New York and she was going back to continue class.

With Lin Rui returning to the training team, all the national team members were in place.

The 08 men's basketball team gathered Lin Rui, Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, Zhang Qingpeng, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Du Feng.

The best basketball players in China gather here.

The Beijing Olympics is an Olympic Games held at your doorstep. The goal of the national team is not to train troops, but to achieve good results.

After Lin Rui joined, Yunas's tactics immediately began to train around Lin Rui.

Yunas hopes that Lin Rui can play in the national team with the same rhythm as the Knicks.

In addition to the inside tactics given to Yao Ming, the other tactics are mainly Lin Rui's singles offense.

Every wave of the national team's ball rights were also given to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui was asked to organize and allocate.

In order to achieve good results in the Olympics, Lin Rui is preparing to exchange the winning points earned in the finals for his trump card.

The Olympics are a national honor, and Lin Rui will do everything!

This national team was stopped in the quarterfinals in the previous life, and Lin Rui wanted to lead the national team to compete for medals in this life.

Lin Rui's return to the national team also made fans look forward to the Olympic games.

"It's awesome!"

"Lin Rui finally returns."

"Looking forward!!"

"Let's see what kind of performance Lin Rui will perform in the national team."

"It should be more difficult to lead such a Chinese team than to lead the Knicks."

"There is no way. Except for Yao Yao and Alien, no other players do not have the ability of NBA players. No matter how bad the Knicks' players are, they are still NBA teams."

"Hey, I'm looking forward to it!"

Lin Rui mobilized the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game.

Lin Rui also gave fans confidence in the basketball field.

......

August 2.

The Chinese men's basketball team and Argentina ushered in a friendly match.

In a semi-final at the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Argentine men's basketball team, led by Ginobili and Scola, defeated the arrogant American Dream team, held their heads up to the finals, and finally won the championship.

The Argentine men's basketball team broke the rule of the US men's basketball team and shocked the world.

Argentina beats Team USA more than once.

This made fans in their previous lives jokingly say that if Ginobili cannot enter the Hall of Fame, it would be the sorrow of the Hall of Fame, not the sorrow of Ginobili.

The starting lineup between the Chinese team and Argentina team is arranged at Wukesong Stadium.

This is the host's advantage, and friendly matches can be arranged in the main venue.

Because this is the first Lin Rui game, even in a friendly match, tickets are hard to come by.

The front-row auditorium seat tickets are sold for up to 8,000 yuan per ticket, which is a category that can’t be bought if you have money.

"Damn, Lin Rui is warming up!"

"Lin Rui is wearing a No. 10 jersey."

"Lin Rui is awesome!!!"

"Lin Rui is so handsome!!"

"Lin Rui is so awesome in the Knicks. I don't know what the effect will be in the national team."

When fans saw Lin Rui warming up wearing national team jerseys, they were all excited.

Fans who did not come to the scene were also very excited.

Lin Rui is the top defender in the NBA. What kind of sparks will his teaming with Yao Daqi?

"Arui, everyone is looking forward to you." Yao Ming and Lin Rui said with a smile.

"Brother Yao, don't be polite. I think there are more people calling you." Lin Rui smiled.

Indeed, there were many Yao Ming fans, holding Yao Ming's light signs high.

The two joked with each other.

soon.

The competition has begun.

Argentina's lineup is: Ginobili, Delphino, Nosioni, Scola, Ottobo.

This is a full NBA lineup, Ginobili in the Spurs, Delfino in the Pistons, Nosioni in the Bulls, Scola in the Rockets, and Ottobo in the Spurs.

Chinese team lineup: Lin Rui, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming.

Zhang Weiping said: "Argentina has strong inside and outside strength. In this game, the Chinese team mainly practices. It is mainly to see how Lin Rui and everyone are running together."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, don't pay too much attention to the outcome of the night. Both Yao and Lin Rui should not play for too long."

The two commentators were worried that the fans would expect too much, so they gave everyone a vaccination first.

It feels special to stand on the court in a national team uniform.

Lin Rui stroked the national flag on his chest, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firmer.

For this honor, he will do everything.

jump ball.

Yao Ming and Scola jumped the ball.

The two were both teammates of the Rockets and had a very friendly exchange before the game.

Scola was also very bachelor. When he saw Yao jumping with him, he jumped down intentionally.

Yao easily transferred the ball to Ah Lian.

Ah Lian gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui threw the ball forward and slowly chased after it casually.

Lin Rui's self-confidence can be seen from the first move.

If it is a normal point guard, they will keep the ball firmly in the transportation.

And Lin Rui directly opened up his luck.

Defensive Lin Rui is Ginobili.

Ginobili had no intention of stealing, and played in the NBA. Ginobili knew very well how terrifying Lin Rui was.

Looking at the random technical movements, if you attack and steal rashly, you may lose your defensive position, causing Lin Rui to rush up.

Lin Rui rushed forward and had no solution, this is the consensus of the entire NBA.

Lin Rui controlled the ball and transported it to the frontcourt.

"come on!"

"Lin Rui fuck him!!"

"Lin Rui mvp!!!"

Domestic fans were very excited to see Lin Rui playing.

It is obvious that the national team has completely different temperaments in the No. 1 position.

Lin Rui did not play singles on the offense himself, but first gave the ball to Zhu Fangyu who came out to meet him.

Zhu Fangyu transferred the ball to Sun Yue who was walking around.

Yao Yao mentioned that he would make a pick-and-roll for Sun Yue. Yao Yao's cover was very solid, and Sun Yue passed Delfino.

Although Sun Yue suddenly entered, he couldn't continue to break in. Scola's assisted defense arrived.

Sun Yue's breakthrough was blocked, and he jumped to pass the ball to Lin Rui at 45 degrees on the left.

Lin Rui prepared the ball to catch it early, and after he took the ball, he did not pause at all.

Face!

Ginobili, who was afraid of Lin Rui, was directly lit up.

Lin Rui then dribbled the ball horizontally and adjusted it to finish the ball.

This technical action is very simple, but it shows Lin Rui's basic skills.

Receive the ball, flick it, and get one step away!

Everything is just right, and no step is redundant.

Lin Rui quickly pushed a three-pointer.

As soon as Lin Rui took action, the cheers at the scene immediately rose. This was the familiar attack posture when they were watching NBA.

Lin Rui's own pace is also great, and he knew he would enter after taking action.

No surprises, the basketball drew a gorgeous arc!

"Swish!"

0 to 3.

Lin Rui raised his hand high and followed Yao and Ah Lian to celebrate with his high fives.

Yao smiled and said, "Arui, the three-point line here is more comfortable than in the NBA."

Lin Rui shrugged and said, "It's almost the same as having two points."

A Lian smiled and said, "You will get used to it slowly."

The three of them communicated and retreated.

“Beautiful job!!”

"nice shot!!"

"It's really accurate, you can tell that you're going to enter by looking at the action."

"Lin Rui's technical movements are so handsome."

Domestic fans cheered quickly.

Lin Rui's ball is very ordinary, but it makes fans happy to watch it.

Zhang Weiping also smiled excitedly and said, "When Sun Yue gave this ball to Lin Rui, there was Ginobili's defense in front of Lin Rui, but Lin Rui was slight, and he shook Ginobili away."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "We often see Lin Rui holding the ball, but this time Lin Rui played well without the ball."

On the field, Ginobili put his hands on his hips, and Lin Rui was too difficult to defend against.

"See if you want to attack him." Scola asked.

"No need, it's just a friendly match." Ginobili said.

Indeed, there is no need to be so desperate in friendly matches.

Argentina attack.

Ginobili took Scola's serve and led forward.

Lin Rui went up to fight Ginobili.

Lin Rui's defense was very tough, and Ginobili frowned.

Lin Rui's arm span is very long, then his speed is fast and his strength is sufficient, which makes Ginobili feel a headache.

Ginobili gave the ball to Nosioni, who brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Ginobili is Argentina's main tactical offensive point. He wants to run out and catch the ball, but Lin Rui has no loophole in Ginobili's defense. Ginobili keeps back-running and does not get rid of Lin Rui.

Lin Rui has great experience in defense and maintains confrontation without fouling.

Seeing that Ginobili had no chance, Nosioni gave the ball to Scola inside.

Scola signaled to clear the right side, he was going to play singles.

Scola is a superstar player in the international arena, and his technical movements are gorgeous.

Scola played singles at UAE in low post.

UAE's defensive center of gravity was very high, and Scola turned around and passed UAE.

Scola wanted to make a layup, but was directly disturbed by Yao Yao.

Yao Yao’s deterrence at the basket is extraordinary.

Scola got big, but the rebound was won by Nosioni.

Nosioni brought the ball over and Ginobili finally had a chance to catch the ball.

Ginobili singled out Lin Rui on the right.

Lin Rui's way of defending Ginobili is to make surprise shots. Lin Rui's position is very suitable, which makes Ginobili very uncomfortable.

Ginobili dared not be careless at all, so he began to dribble slowly to look for opportunities.

Ginobili signaled his teammates to pull the space away and he wanted to fight Lin Rui alone.

The Chinese team attaches great importance to this friendly match, but Argentina does not pay much attention to it.

Ginobili wanted to see if he could break Lin Rui's defense.

Lin Rui also signaled his teammates to say that he would not need to attack, and he would directly defend alone.

What Lin Rui most hopes is that Argentina will fight like this.

Ginobili faced Lin Rui's continuous change of direction, then leaned over to sprint on his right.

"Bang!"

Ginobili and Lin Rui directly confronted each other.

Lin Rui's confrontation intensity was much stronger than Ginobili thought. Ginobili couldn't knock Lin Rui away, and Lin Rui always entangled Ginobili.

Ginobili quickly adjusted and changed direction to the left.

Taking a little bit of his position, Ginobili forced a layup in three steps.

Ginobili's basketball just took action!

"Bang!!"

Lin Rui slapped the ball directly!!

"ah!!!!"

Lin Rui roared at Ginobili after blocking it!!!

The cheers of fans at Wukesong Stadium also reached their first climax!!!

"Damn it, it's a very strong defense."

"It's amazing, the Argentine Demon Sword was blocked directly."

"That's so awesome."

"Lin Rui's defense is really strong."

"If it were someone else, Ginobili's pace had already passed them."

The fans were excited.

After the Argentina served again, they did not complete the attack in 24 seconds. They were defended by the Chinese team for 24 seconds.

Zhang Weiping said excitedly: "Lin Rui brings not only the offense, but also his defense. From the NBA game, it can be seen that Lin Rui can defend from No. 1 to No. 4, and even if he faces a weak No. 5 position, he can defend!"

Xu Jicheng said: "Lin Rui directly blocked Ginobili, which gave the Chinese team a great boost to the morale."

Coach Yunas also kept applauding on the sidelines, and Lin Rui's offensive and defensive rounds made the Chinese team completely different in momentum.

The Chinese team continued to attack.

Lin Rui did not control the ball, but signaled Sun Yue to catch the ball.

After Lin Rui finished the finals, he found that he could not take all his work on his shoulders.

When the Chinese team has other defenders who can dribble the ball through the half, there is no need for him to bring him to the frontcourt every round.

The Argentina team obviously knows where the Chinese team's strength is. They focus on guarding Lin Rui and Yao Dayao.

Sun Yue is now at his peak, and his physical talent is pretty good for yellow people.

Lin Rui continued to run without the ball in the frontcourt.

Ah Lian came out first to provide cover for Lin Rui, and Lin Rui got rid of Ginobili.

Ottobo replaced Lin Rui.

Lin Rui's running position was very varied, and Yao was standing on one side, and Lin Rui went over to use the help of no-ball cover again.

Yao's cover firmly blocked Ottobo.

Ottobo was helpless and could only watch Lin Rui appear on the left empty space.

Sun Yue has been paying attention to Lin Rui's running position. When he saw Lin Rui appearing in a gap, he immediately sent the ball out.

Sun Yue's pass was very good, and Lin Rui made the front moves to catch the ball in advance.

Receive the ball, kick the ground, and make a three-pointer in a standard shooting posture!!

The basketball draws a wonderful arc!!

"Swish!!"

0 to 6.

A three-pointer pierces the heart!!

Fans at Wukesong Stadium continue to cheer!!

Lin Rui made consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game.

Lin Rui and Sun Yue celebrated with high-fives.

"Your shooting is really stable." Sun Yue said enviously.

"Hey, just practice more." Lin Rui smiled.

Lin Rui said it very politely.

Zhang Weiping screamed: "Lin Rui's touch is so good. He started so hot, and he made consecutive three-pointers."

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Yes, Lin Rui's scoring methods are too rich. He still did not play singles with the ball, but solved the offense by running without the ball."

On the court, Argentine players gathered together to discuss their defense against Lin Rui.

The Argentina team's defensive strength is obviously not as good as the Celtics and the Lakers, and their players' talent has not caused much trouble to Lin Rui.

“It’s so accurate.”

“Too accurate!”

"You can take action!"

"Awesome!!"

"For Lin Rui, shooting this kind of three-pointer is the same as playing."

The fans on the Internet are also very excited.

It feels more enjoyable to watch Lin Rui hit these balls wearing a national team jersey than watching NBA!

The pleasant sound of the web is very crisp.

The fans at the scene shouted Lin Rui's name and kept applauding Lin Rui.

Lin Rui on the court smiled when he heard these familiar cheers.

Lin Rui will show his best form to the national team.

Argentina attack.

Lin Rui continued to guard against Ginobili.

Ginobili brought the ball to the frontcourt.

Ginobili was very annoyed by Lin Rui's entanglement, and he tried to send the ball to Scola in the frontcourt.

But Ginobili carelessly underestimated Lin Rui's arm span length!

"Bang!"

Ginobili's ball was cut off by Lin Rui as soon as he got out.

If Lin Rui completes this kind of steal, Ginobili is too lazy to chase after him.

"Good ball, beautiful defense!" Coach Yunas on the sidelines continued to yell.

In Yunas's opinion, Lin Rui is too perfect.

Lin Rui did not change three-pointers with a sudden stop, but instead rushed into the three-point line.

Lin Rui kicked the ground vigorously and took off and took off!!

Lin Rui took off at the free throw line.

The fans at the scene started screaming as they watched Lin Rui's takeoff position.

In the air, Lin Rui swung a loop with one hand and then smashed it into the basket!!

"box!"

A windmill dunk on the free throw line!!!

0 to 8

"Suspension!!" Argentina was directly stopped.

Lin Rui presented a perfect visual feast to all Chinese fans!!!

"Damn it!!"

“666!!”

“Oh oh oh oh !!!”

"Dunk!!!"

"Damn, the big windmill on the free throw line!"

“It’s so cool.”

The fans at the scene were almost rioted, and they all cheered and shouted.

This is a national team member they have never seen before.

Lin Rui's dunk is different from others. His dunk looks easy and not forced at all.

The body stretched in the air has also reached its extreme!!!

Zhang Weiping even stood up: "Lin Rui steals, Lin Rui takes off on the free throw line, oh, big windmill, good-looking, Lin Rui, just deduct him like this!!!"

Xu Jicheng shouted: "Lin Rui scored eight points in a row and stopped Argentina!"
