Chapter 162: No. 21 rookie and No. 44 veteran

For D'Antoni and Vicki's grievances, Lin Yi is like a family.
It has to be said that when back to coaching the Suns with Lao De ... The Suns of those years were the most beautiful scenery in the league, but no matter how much scenery they played, they were still beyond the Spurs. .
In the 04/05 season, D'Antoni made the Suns the best team in the league by running and bombing tactics. The current star of the Suns, Steve Nash, got the first seat in his career. Regular season MVP trophy.
The Suns, who can average 110 points per game, are regarded as the number one favorite to win that season.
However, in the Western Conference Finals of the 04/05 season, because the key player in the Sun array Joe Johnson was injured in the previous round, the Suns eventually lost to the Spurs coached by 1 to 4.
In the 06/07 season, the Suns and the Spurs met in the Western Conference semifinals. This time Lao De put a lot of effort into the defense of the Suns in order to pass the Spurs.
As a result, a controversial scene took place in the fourth round of the Western Conference semifinals. The Spurs adopted a foul tactic when they were behind 18.2 seconds before the end. Robert Horry explained what it means to sacrifice one's happiness. The whole team.
At the time, Horry hit the Suns star Steve Nash fiercely, causing the latter to fly off the field and hit a billboard. Angry Stoudemire and Dior rushed into the stadium with emotion and wanted to avenge Nash ... ...
As a result, Horry was convicted of a second-level malicious foul and was banned for one match. Stoudemire and Dior were also suspended for one match because they left the bench without permission.
Whatever it takes, this sale is a big loss for the Suns. Horry is a role player in the Spurs, while Stoudemire and Dior are the core of the Suns. So the Suns, who lacked key players, lost the receiver. After the battle of Tianwang Mountain came down, the Spurs were eliminated 2 to 4 in the end.
In the 07/08 season, the Suns introduced the "Big Shark" O'Neal and vowed to pick the Spurs in the playoffs. As a result, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, Vicki directly angrily dean Anthony with a "shark tactic" Stomp straight.
The Spurs also drew Anthony's outrage after the game because of the constant use of "shark-cutting tactics" in the game. Many fans complained that they could not accept such a fragmented game. NBA President Stern also said Maybe it's time for the league to re-examine the rules.
However, in the end, the Spurs defeated the Suns 4-1 to advance. D'Antoni himself left Los Angeles after the playoffs.
Regarding D'Antoni's Suns career, some people say that the Suns he coached are not likely to win the championship, and some people say that the gorgeous Suns have a false appearance and flashy.
But anyway, D'Antoni's Suns broke the boring situation of the NBA game, Nash's incredible pass, and the Suns' wonderful fast-break performances were the most beautiful scenery of the NBA at that time.
D'Antoni was enough to leave Phoenix, but for D'Antoni himself, he was really full of endless resentment towards Vicki and the Spurs.
Whether it was Bowen's dirty movement or the conflict caused by Horry, or the later shark tactic, D'Antoni taught too much tuition at Vecchi.
Competitive sports was the king and defeated. When the Spurs won the championship trophy again and again, people will only remember that the Spurs won the championship, not Bowen, Horry, and Shark.
...
On the 26th, in the Knicks training class, D'Antoni was always indifferent.
During the break, D'Antoni looked at Lin Yi, who was replenishing his energy. "Lin, can you say we can win the Spurs?"
"Coach, I think you need to believe in yourself, and even more in the players you bring." Lin Yi said.
D'Antoni smiled. "You're right, Lin, I think too much myself. As the team's head coach, I actually asked such a ridiculous question."
Lin Yi understands D'Antoni's gains and losses, because the Spurs are such a deadly and unpaying team.
Didn't LeBron James be fooled by Duncan's "the future is yours"?
James: Didn't you say that the future is mine?
Duncan: Don't worry, your future is yet to come.
Poor LeBron, the most unbelievable person in the world is the man named Duncan!
And the guy who always calls himself a good guy, ahhhh!
It is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than the broken mouth of Vicki.
This sentence is the lesson of countless teams falling under the Spurs butcher knife.
From the training session before the game, the Knicks players can clearly feel that coach D'Antoni attaches great importance to this game with the Spurs, because the old German kept referring to the word "defense" in the training class.
To win the Spurs, the Knicks must improve their defense.
"Danello, why do you look in a bad mood?" Lin Yi patted Galinari on the back. The handsome Italian looks a bit low. Tomorrow is the game with the Spurs. Galinari is in this game. China will play a very important role. Lin Yike does not want to see that Gallinari has not performed as he should because of some special reasons.
"Lin, I'm broken, I feel like I've been abandoned by the world ..." Galinari grieved.
"Ha? Danilo, in fact, the whole world has never abandoned you!" Lin Yi said to Galinari.
Galinari looked up at Lin Yi. Although Lin Yi always stabbed himself, at the critical moment, he was still the most reliable brother.
"Danilo, because the whole world doesn't need you at all! How come to give up?" Lin Yizha felt more comfortable after finishing the sword.
Gallinari: "..."
Hell, I actually believe that Lin will comfort me? This must be an illusion!
...
Madison Square Garden, New York, December 27.
The New York Knicks face the San Antonio Spurs.
Another match between D'Antoni and Vicki.
The 21st rookie and the 44th veteran finally ushered in the first confrontation of their careers.
When warming up before the game, looking at Ginobili's back, Lin Yi almost did not restrain his urge to touch Ginobili's head in the past.
Fortunately, Galinari came to his side because of picking up the ball. Lin Yi touched Galinari's head before restraining the terrible urge.
At this point, the television broadcast close-up just happened to capture this scene. The alert photographer also found that on the other side, after Duncan chatted with Ginobili for a few words, Duncan with a smile on his face touched Ginobili's head. .
"I have to say that Lin Yi and Duncan both have the habit of touching their teammates' heads." CCTV commentator Yu Jia said.
"Haha, this is because Lin Yi and Duncan are the tallest in the team. Teammates can't even touch them if they want to touch them." Commenting guest Zhang Reason laughed.
"Director Zhang, if Lin Yi and Duncan are in the same team, who do you think touches their heads?" Yu Jia asked.
"It's hard to say, but don't you really say that Ginobili has less and less hair in the past two years." Zhang reasonably said.
On the court, Duncan gave Lin Yi a curious look, and Lin Yi just happened to glance at Duncan. The two eyes were opposite each other. For a long time, Duncan smiled at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's mouth slightly raised.
"Are they making eye contact?" Galinari said, surprised.
"Duncan just said: Your kid can play well, Lin replied: each other, Duncan said: The future is yours, Lin replied: No, no, the future is yours." David Lee uttered.
Galinari turned to look at David Lee in shock, "How do you know?"
David Lee said to Galinari like an idiot: "Danilo, I made it up."
Aha?
In fact, David Lee and Gallinari didn't know that Lin Yi had just had a consciousness exchange with Duncan.
Duncan: Is it you?
Lin Yi: It's me ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Duncan: You are here.
Lin Yi: I'm here.
Duncan: You shouldn't come.
Lin Yi: I have come.
Duncan: You are still here after all.
Lin Yi: I am here anyway.
Silence, long silence.
As if the two were carved in woodcarving, they were facing each other, but the sunset was getting more and more inclined.
"What are you doing?" Duncan broke the silence.
Lin Yi walked towards Duncan silently, then stretched out his right hand and touched Duncan's head.
"For this."
