Chapter 316: Perfect integration, funny team!

Billups merged with the Knicks in Orlando.
"Welcome to New York!" When team coach D'Antoni patted his shoulders, Billups was a little bit upset, even if he was recognized as the big heart on the basketball court, but different from playing with the Knicks Now the opponent has become his teammate ...
"Poor Marco, I wish him all the best in Denver." Galinari (trading to Belinelli, don't confuse) was the first to say hello to Billups, the handsome Italian guy laughed When he got up, he was full of affinity.
"Hello Danilo." Billups shook hands with Galinari.
"Hey! Shaq, don't bully Lin, here comes Changxi!" Gallinari shouted at the training ground.
On the training ground, O'Neal raised his mouth and said, "The last shot of 'Shark Splash'!"
Lin Yi on the floor: "To die or to die!"
Seeing this scene Billups: "..."
This ... is it really the Jagged Knicks?
Billups had watched a video of the Knicks game, and he thought that D'Antoni used the style of Larry Brown to tune the defense.
"Hey, Chauncey, did you come to hug the" shark "thigh?" O'Neal gave Billups a bear hug, and Galinari on the side added: "Come on, Shaq, last time Lin It's been said that sharks have no legs! "
O'Neal glanced at Gallinari, and the "second battalion commander" spread his hand and walked away decisively.
The shark patted Billups's back. "Don't mind, this team has more bear children."
Billups nodded, as if trying to tell.
At this time, Lin Yi, who was holding his own waist, also came over, "Welcome to New York, Changxi."
O'Neal gave Lin Yi a white look: "We're in Orlando now!"
Hell, the kidneys are so painful. Lin Yi vowed to go to Shaolin Temple if he returned to China during the suspension period. He had to learn about 72 stunts.
Billups and Lin Yi greeted him. He didn't dare to neglect. Billups was not Ricky Davis. Speaking of it, he was a little worried about Lin Yi's more ballistic play and his Can't come together.
"Hey, Louis, don't mention the woman last night, okay?" The Knicks' players walked in turn, and Lowell and Stephenson talked last night's' funny '.
"Damn, Lance, if you didn't disclose that I had a girlfriend, it would be me and not you!" Louwe said.
"Hey, this is the welfare of being single. Do you know why the boss has been single? Danilo is right, being single is the happiest thing in the world." Stephenson said.
Lin Yi looked at the two goods coming, and asked Stephenson to eat a brutal iron elbow.
O'Neal said calmly to Lupus: "I just said that this team has more bear children."
Billups: "..."
Is this team really the first in the East?
You know, when Billups is in the Pistons, everyone is usually working hard, and while Larry Brown is away, everyone will make fun of each other, but they are all there.
At the Nuggets, George Carr also required players to speak less during training, so Billups was used to the atmosphere of honest practice.
But the Knicks ... are you training now?
What about D'Antoni?
Why is he more like KFC's grandfather than Phil Jackson? Is it a mascot? Does he care?
Because the plane was late, Billups only caught up with the second half of the training session.
In fact, D'Antoni didn't care, but because the game will be played tomorrow, the old German did not require the players to practice in the dead during training. It is mainly a few easy games, mainly to let these players find Find the feeling of the game.
"Is there a fitness problem? We will schedule your starter tomorrow." D'Antoni asked Billups looking at him.
Billups nodded.
So in the second half of the training class, D'Antoni arranged a five-to-five full-court offensive and defensive drill. He intentionally divided Tyson Chandler, Lin Yi, Gallinari, Tony Allen, Billups into a team, and then Whiteside, Shane Battier, Danny Green, Lowe, and Livingston lined up.
O'Neal and Wilson Chandler made a side-view, and served as referees and statisticians with the coaches.
...
How long did it take Lin Yi to conquer Billups?
To be precise, in the two offensive and defensive rounds, the Knicks' training in the team is also based on conversion and offense, so the specific time is 1 minute and 09 seconds.
Is he willing to pick and roll for me?
Isn't he the absolute core of this team?
Isn't he averaging 26.8 shots per game?
This pick-and-roll ...
This is smooth!
good chance!
It's incredible, Billups feels Lin Yi's ball quotient is too high, and the opposite ... is it really just a backup lineup?
Livingston's several backs, even Billups couldn't help it. One ball Billups was also fouled.
Although he is unwilling to admit it, Billups really wants to say: The Knicks have better defense on the bench than the Nuggets starter.
It was a completely different experience, and Lin Yi played very comfortably, with fewer direct assists than Lupus, which did not mean he would not organize an attack.
Billups started with Lin Yi as Anthony to cooperate. He was able to help Lin Yi divide the space. One-on-one is one-on-one. It is difficult for opponents to defend or double-team.
But Billups later discovered that he and Lin Yi were more efficient at pick-and-rolls, and Lin Yi always somehow passed the ball to the open.
"Karl is right." Billups sighed. Lin Yi was too critical for the Knicks. His contribution was not just scoring. He was indeed the deserved leader of the team.
"How?" D'Antoni asked his assistants after the training session.
"Perfectly integrated, Changxi's overall view can give full play to Lin's role on the offensive end. His experience in defense is very old-fashioned, Mike, seriously, we are strong." TA Donaldson said with confidence.
D'Antoni did not deny, "Yes, we are strong."
"However, you may not believe it. Chancy's data is not as good as Shawn." D'Antoni passed the data recorded by another coach to everyone.
In the 20-minute full-scale offensive and defensive drill, Billups made 2 of 3 3-pointers without any other shots. He scored 6 points and 3 assists.
Livingston was 4 of 6 with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
This is a major feature of Billups's playing. He does not take shots, even if he plays iron, he chooses efficient scoring methods, which cannot damage the Knicks' offensive system.
But his defense and combing of offense are exactly what the Knicks currently lack.
This can be seen from the difference between the main team's 47 and 30 substitutes.
Billups is really convinced. He thinks Lin Yi is the most terrible teammate he has ever worked with. If the light is better than the score, UU Reading may be better than Lin Yi, but Lin Yi ’s play is too clever. Already.
What makes Billups admire him is Livingston, because Billups is going to steal Livingston's main position, but it seems that Livingston doesn't care?
"Shawn, congratulations on your recovery," Billups told Livingston.
Livingston was really reborn. He beat it with his back, anyway, Billups couldn't prevent it.
"Thank you, cheer up tomorrow, Changxi." Livingston said with a smile.
"Wait, Sean, don't you mind the starter?" Billups asked curiously.
Livingston spread his hands: "Hey, Changxi, I was originally a fake starter, and I played a bigger role in the bench. If it weren't for the Knicks coaching team and Lin, I might be lying on the bed now! "
Billups: "..."
This Knicks is really strong.
If it's just defense, Billups doesn't think that the Pistons who won the championship will definitely beat the Knicks. Tony Allen, Shane Battier, Tyson Chandler ... not only has athletic ability, but also the ball The quotient is still very high. They are not guarded by brute force or small movements.
It is entirely based on your own understanding of the game.
And this Knicks offense is much stronger than that Pistons ... Billups found that this Knicks conversion attack is extremely determined, as long as there is a chance, everyone dares Shot.
The most important thing is that Lin Yi's image does not match his data. This is a player who has averaged more than 20 shots per game. But this 20-minute offensive and defensive drill was completed. Lin Yi also has 14 times. Shot.
"It's great to be able to play in New York!" Billups thought.
...
PS: Fourth more, congratulations to the men's basketball Asian Games reversal to win the championship!
