A different point guard road

.........

October 6th.

The training camp for the New York Knicks began.

This season, the Knicks have left Eddie Curry, Nate Robinson, Jeffries, Terrence Rose, Tim Thomas and other marginal players.

There are cuts and transactions.

The players including Brooke Lopez (8th pick), DeAndrew Jordan (2nd second round), Golan Dragic (3rd second round), Tony Allen, PJ Tucker, Kyle Korver, Mark Gasol and other players were introduced.

The first three are draft picks, Tony Allen and Tucker are free agents, Korver and Marc Gasol get the deal, and Marc Gasol is also playing NBA for the first year.

This is the result of discussion by Thomas, general manager of the Knicks, and Lin Rui.

Of course, in the eyes of the outside world, Thomas once again dragged down Lin Rui, and he did nothing in summer.

Four rookies and three role players were introduced, and that's all?

These four rookies don't look like super rookies at all.

Three big men who look like role players, a European point guard.

What about the All-Stars we want?

What are the helpers we want?

Thomas is actually very difficult to do. Most superstars choose to enter the free market next year. There are no big fish in the free market this year. Even if there are big fish, they have already confirmed the team.

Some are unwilling to partner with Lin Rui, while others are their own parent teams who are unwilling to let players sign the Knicks.

Everyone knows that giving the Knicks a superstar means winning the championship.

The media and fans kept yelling at Thomas.

Lin Rui comforted Thomas and helped him defend him in front of the media.

Before the training camp started, Lin Rui talked about the Knicks' signings when facing reporters: "I know what kind of guys we have brought in. They are all great, and I am looking forward to the new season."

October 6th.

Knicks locker room.

Lin Rui was the last one to appear here.

At this time, the newcomers and the Knicks veterans were all there.

I saw Lin Rui appear.

The newcomers were a little nervous.

Lin Rui is the well-deserved boss of the Knicks.

There were too many halos surrounding him.

"Hey, hello everyone, long time no see, have you missed me?" Lin Rui greeted his old teammates with a smile.

"Hey, Lin, you're big again."

"I watched the Olympic Games, you're so cool."

......

The veterans all stood up and greeted Lin Rui one by one.

The Knicks' newcomers have just gotten along with the veterans, and now they are even more nervous when they see the veterans' dog-like virtues.

Fortunately, Lin Rui has no airs.

Under David Lee's introduction, all the new players hugged Lin Rui with high-highs.

After a while, the head coach also came in.

Mike D'Anthony!

D'Antoni is the coach candidate recommended by Coach Thomas and a group of executives to the boss after Lin Rui's approval.

Mike D'Antoni was ranked 20th in the second round in the 1973 NBA draft (selected by Kansas City Omaha Kings and San Antonio Spurs during the NBA period, played for St. Louis Souls during the ABA period, and joined the Milan Olympia in Italy in 1977.

Mike D'Antoni in Milan's Olympia is full of honors, winning the league championship many times and being elected as the scoring champion and assisting champion many times.

In 1990, Mike D'Antoni was elected the best defender in the Italian league. In the same year, he officially announced his retirement. His style of play affected the subsequent NBA superstars. Kobe Bryant, who was still a child at the time, watched football in Italy.

After retiring, Mike D'Anthony served as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns in the NBA League. He has led this team since 2003. He won the honor of the NBA best coach in the 2004-05 season, leading the team to a regular season record of 62 wins and 20 losses and reached the Western Conference Finals.

D'Antoni coached the label style is clear.

"Running and bombing tactics!" "Good at coaching point guards!"

Lin Rui has been communicating since he learned that he became the head coach of the Knicks.

The reason why D'Antoni was willing to coach the Knicks was Lin Rui in addition to the market factors here.

D'Antoni has created a "magic ball" system for Lin Rui that is exclusive to him!

.........

D'Antoni is also a very kind head coach.

The overall atmosphere in the locker room was great.

In this way, the Knicks' core lineup also came out.

Point Guard: Lin Rui, Dragic

Scoring guards: Crawford, Tony Allen.

Small forward: Richardson, Korver.

Power forward: Randolph, David Lee, Tucker.

Center: Robin Lopez, Marc Gasol, DeAndrew Jordan.

The Knicks' core lineup has temporarily confirmed these 12 people, and the other three are left for newcomers who have performed well in training camp and preseason during this period.

............

"Brooke, go buy fried chicken."

"Dandrew, go buy milk tea."

"Golan, go and get our bags."

The Knicks veterans wantonly teach rookies NBA culture.

Lin Rui and the others dare not bully last season, so they have to bully these newcomers.

Seeing his teammates making trouble, Lin Rui also smiled.

Lin Rui rarely interferes with these things, he is relatively independent.

Lin Rui's mature mentality makes him not as mentally as an ordinary young man.

This is also the reason why Lin Rui can chat with many veterans.

Lin Rui has also become friends with many veteran superstars in the league.

On the training ground.

Lin Rui ignored the interference at the side of the venue.

Focusing on practicing his three-pointer.

5 points.

10 three-pointers, all hit!

Finally, there is a logo three-pointer!

9 out of 10!!

Lin Rui's three-point shooting percentage made all the new players stunned.

Korver sighed: "God, has he always shot like this?"

Tucker said, "This is too accurate."

Randolph did not answer the two of them's amazement, but Richardson said: "This is his daily life, and you will gradually get used to it from now on."

Lin Rui's consecutive three-pointers hit on the training ground put a lot of pressure on these newcomers.

"Boss, can you tell me the trick of shooting three points?" Tony Allen asked.

Last season, Tony Allen was often beaten by Lin Rui when he was at the Celtics.

Lin Rui said: "This, this, this, this! It's very simple."

Lin Rui made a demonstration...

Everyone: "????"

Which one?

Which one?

After Lin Rui finished the demonstration, he looked confused when he looked at everyone, and he shrugged helplessly.

David Lee said: "This is Lin's talent, no one can learn it."

"Ok!"

"Okay, I understand."

It seems that the veterans can't do this Lin Rui, and the newcomers are not under such great pressure.

indeed.

Lin Rui's three-pointer became a phenomenal three-pointer after last season.

More and more players have begun to practice ultra-long three-pointers, but after practicing, the shooters have found that it is not easy to practice with Lin Rui.

This requires a very strong talent.

After training.

Lin Rui was pulled by Tak, and Tuk asked, "Lin, can you give me some sneakers? Many of my friends knew that I asked me for it after joining the Knicks, but I couldn't buy it. Oh, your shoes are so hard to buy."

Lin Rui’s sneakers will not be picked up after three months of pre-sale.

Lin Rui said: "No problem, how much do you want?"

Tucker said: "10 pairs, I will pay you."

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "No, I have two trucks, I can't finish them. I'll bring them to you tomorrow."

Tucker nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you a pair of Jordans."

"OK!"

Lin Rui chatted with Tucker for a while, and then Lin Rui realized that Tucker was actually a sneaker collector.

He has several rooms dedicated to putting on sneakers, and the cost of buying sneakers is greater than that of buying a house.

....

....

After the training camp officially begins.

Lin Rui is also working with the brand new team.

With his performance on the training ground, Lin Rui conquered all the newcomers.

Lin Rui is still the core point of all the tactical Knicks in the new season.

The season's outlook meeting, photo shooting work, etc. are also in full swing.

After a while of training, the Knicks ushered in their first preseason game.

At home against the New Jersey Nets.

The boss of the Nets is Carter, and UAE is there, so there are many highlights in this game.

Many Chinese in New York specially purchased tickets to watch this game.

October 17, 7 pm.

The first preseason game between the Knicks and the Nets started.

Lin Rui was cheered by all the fans during the appearance ceremony.

It's been a long time since New York fans saw Lin Rui.

All fans hope that Lin Rui can lead the Knicks to make a comeback.

Knicks starter: Lin Rui, Crawford, Richardson, Randolph, David Lee.

This is the starting lineup for the Knicks to reach the Finals last season.

The regular season is not necessarily the starting lineup, but it is constantly changing.

Nets starters: Harris, Carter, Bobby Simmons, Albert, Sean Williams.

It was the first time Alien came to a new environment. It can be seen that the head coach also attached great importance to him.

Lin Rui went over and hugged Ah Lian and greeted him.

Soon, the game began.

Ah Lian and David Lee jumped up at the same time.

UAE was very active and transferred the ball to Harris.

Lin Rui went up to guard Harris.

Harris has one characteristic that makes Lin Rui very afraid, that is, fast!

Harris has the best dribbling speed, and when he runs, it feels like a gust of wind.

Harris dared not be careless when he dribbled the ball through the half.

Lin Rui is now well-known all over the world. Although he failed in the finals and Olympic gold medal competition, no one will deny his strength!

Although he was very afraid of Lin Rui, Harris was eager to challenge and defeat Lin Rui.

After Harris dribbled to the frontcourt, he immediately called Ah Lian for cover.

UAE was very familiar with Lin Rui, blocked him and Harris dribbled across the ball.

Lin Rui bypassed UAE and put pressure on Harris, and Harris gave the ball to Carter on the right.

Carter handled the ball a little casually in the preseason. After a tentative move, Carter made Crawford step and then pulled up the jump shot from the middle distance.

The rhythm of the ball is great, but!

"box!"

The basketball hit the basket and bounced up, and Randolph grabbed the rebound.

Randolph gave the ball to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui held the ball and advanced, and the fans at the scene shouted immediately!!

Both last season and the Olympics have enough experiences that fans have infinite fantasies about Lin Rui.

Although it was the first preseason game of the new season, Lin Rui had long since lost the same nervousness as last season.

Lin Rui gave the ball to Randolph at the low post.

Randolph singles Sean Williams.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Randolph also became famous last season, and he was hailed as the best helper around Lin Rui.

Randolph returned from vacation and was a little fat, and the singles were not smooth, and Lin Rui cut in time.

Harris was stunned when facing Lin Rui.

The lack of concentration on the defensive end is also the reason that limits Harris' further growth.

Lin Rui easily broke the Nets' defense line.

Randolph gave the ball to Lin Rui who was cut in the air.

After receiving the ball, Lin Rui took off and took off, his head completely passed through the frame, and he grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it!!

"box!!"

0 to 2.

Lin Rui's dunk was too easy!

"pretty!!"

"Cooperate well."

"Lin Rui's ability to run without the ball has been improved again."

"Oh, it's a dunk from here!"

The fans at the scene cheered.

Randolph said as he clapped Lin Rui's high fives, "Lin, your bounce has improved again."

Lin Rui smiled and said, "Almost, you guy, have gained weight again."

Lin Rui patted Randolph's belly after high-fives.

Randolph said embarrassedly: "It will slowly reduce."

Randolph is not a hard-working player. He usually gradually adjusts his condition after the start of the season, which is also something he has never been liked by the media.

Randolph has talent, but he is a little too lazy.

Nets offense.

Harris slowly brought the ball through half.

Lin Rui continued to put pressure on Harris.

Although Harris was a little wary, he was still caught by Lin Rui.

Lin Rui waved his hand on the left, asking Harris to move the ball to the right, and then Lin Rui burst into a flying rush on the right.

"Bang!"

Lin Rui cut off Harris's ball one-on-one.

Oh oh oh oh!!

Seeing Lin Rui intercepting the ball directly, the Knicks' newcomers' eyes widened.

The opponent's defender is too ruthless.

Harris did not catch up with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui sprinted to the frontcourt and took a step outside the three-point line to close the ball, one step, two steps!

Take off and jump up, jump high, grab the ball with one hand and swing a big loop, and at the same time, the body completes the rotation of the body 360 degrees and then smashes it into the basket!!!

"box!!"

Easily and easily!!

0 to 4!!

After Lin Rui did this action, the cameras on the scene kept aiming at Carter!

It is obvious that the cameraman wants Carter and Lin Rui to compete in a dunk on the court!!

Lin Rui also smiled at Carter, and Carter spread his hands.

Lin Rui showed his strong attack power and desire to attack from the beginning of the game.

Nets offense.

Harris paid a lot of attention this time and he gave the ball to Carter.

Carter also became serious at this time.

Carter flicked Crawford on the outside.

Still choose a three-pointer to take a step.

Carter's three-point shooting percentage is the top of the four major point guards, and he is also very dependent on three-pointers, but his three-pointers are not as famous as his dunks.

"box!"

Unfortunately, Carter's two attacks at the beginning were not very good.

Lin Rui grabbed the defensive rebound.

Turn around and dribble to advance.

After halfway through, Lin Rui swung away Harris with a rapid change of direction!

Immediately afterwards, logo made a quick three-pointer!!

The fans on the scene all exclaimed!!

The basketball shot by Lin Rui is like an arrow through the cloud!

"Swish!!"

0 to 7.
