Center first

Chapter 449 Old Resentment

If the hatred between the Cleveland people and the Miami people is because of that playoff conflict, then the New Yorkers' hatred for Lin Yi may be because this guy was too crazy to wreak havoc here. In the game, they will be reduced to the performance reference of those superstars, but the crazy offensive style of play like Lin Yi and Miami may leave them with more humiliation. The above sweep, the Miami people did too much in the previous game, so these crazy New York fans need to use such an extreme confrontation method to complete their revenge ideas, as long as it can make these Miami people unhappy, it is What they are most happy to do.

The madness of the New Yorkers is not only manifested at the level of reporters. When the Miami Heat walked into the Madison Garden Arena again, they were greeted by the screams of the highest decibels, the crazy shouts and piercing shouts of the fans. Cursing and provocative words have always disturbed Lin Yi's warm-up activities before the game. Although Wade repeatedly reminded Lin Yi to be calm, but looking at those people holding up photos of him and Taylor, Lin Yi could hardly restrain himself. Don't get angry, he doesn't understand if there is really such a deep hatred between himself and the city, why these boring people insist on revenge in this way, don't they see Lin Yi in the last game? Is that frenzied state?What a bunch of idiots playing with fire.

And TNT TV, the broadcaster of this game, even threw Barkley and Kenny Smith, who are good at adjusting such a tense atmosphere, on the broadcast booth, but the ridicule of these two guys trying to change the tense atmosphere did not win much. As a result, Barkley now almost feels like he is in the NBA Finals instead of an ordinary NBA regular season. This crazy Madison Garden arena is filled with a lingering strong smell of gunpowder.

In view of Lin Yi's unstable mental state, Spoelstra once tried to communicate with Lin Yi before the game. He hoped that this little guy could choose to rest in such a game. After all, even without Lin Yi On the court, the Filipino is also very sure of winning a victory here. The noisy environment and crazy shouting around can easily interfere with a person's normal performance, although Spoelstra doesn't really think that Lin Yi will behave abnormally due to these external factors, but at least he hopes that his absolute core can have a relatively quiet environment. In the past few days, Lin Yi's nerves have been a little too tense, and Filipinos don't want to see it because Psychological problems overwhelmed his absolute tactical core.

However, Lin Yi once again rejected Spoelstra's proposal, and even Wade's plan to try to persuade Lin Yi fell through, "I don't want others to see that my job is affected because of such things. , basketball is my favorite sport, and it is also a job that I should work hard to do. I am a professional NBA player, so I will not use external factors as an excuse for my absence at any time and any place , I need to use this kind of game to prove that I will not be disturbed by these boring people.” Lin Yi’s explanation sounded impeccable, but both the Filipino and Wade could see a kind of anxiety in this kid’s eyes The feeling, but such a reason makes them have no way to refuse.

What Lin Yi said was just one aspect, he didn’t want to be forced to stay away from these right and wrong because of the voices of those critics, just like what old Chuck taught him, when something haunts you, Don't try to avoid its entanglement, the most straightforward way is to step on it directly, or uproot it directly, don't think about retreating, think about solving it once and for all by fighting, the world There has never been any criticism that can be avoided in the world. Only when you become strong enough can you make those guys shut up consciously.

Another reason that has not been mentioned yet is that Lin Yi hopes that Lin Yuwei and Taylor can see him in such a nationally broadcast game. Suffering, when he talked with Lin Yuwei on the phone, he didn't dare to mention anything, and the duckling himself deliberately avoided such a sensitive topic. It was impossible to talk about his future life, and even little princess Taylor.

And Taylor Swift's unreachable phone call made Lin Yi a little desperate. Even he himself didn't know what to do in the future. Everything around him seemed so confused and unfamiliar. During the two days in Miami, During the rest time, he was more thinking about the days the three of them spent together in this house, what a carefree time it was, every morning he would be intimately harassed by the mischievous Taylor It made it impossible to sleep, and Duckling’s breakfast has become the habit of the three of them. Every morning, he will eat breakfast with the company of two people. Every day, this room will be full of laughter, not as it is now, full of There was a feeling of silence, and everything seemed so helpless.

The shadows of Duckling and Taylor have been swaying back and forth in Lin Yi's heart. He doesn't know what will happen in the future, and he doesn't know whether he can give the two girls the answer they expected, maybe only basketball The cathartic outburst on the field can let him vent the suffocation accumulated in his chest, so now the game is like a drug, stimulating Lin Yi to greedily breathe the air on the field, now maybe only Only the game can make him forget the problems that bother him, and only crazy attacks can make him feel his own existence.

Spoelstra can only agree to Lin Yi's insistence on playing the game. For such a weak opponent, he no longer has to consider letting Lin Yi and Wade play at the same time. Four old guys are arranged. For such a noisy atmosphere, maybe these old bones will understand how to play, especially these old guys will relieve Lin Yi's pressure to a certain extent, not only on the court, but also Most of them are spiritual. After all, this noisy environment may have a huge impact on Lin Yi's psychology, and he doesn't want to see any surprises.

"Old Bell, Stackhouse, McDyess, Bunch, you four come on the court, I hope you can share some pressure for Lin Yi as much as possible on the court, we still use Lin Yi as the pivot point in the offense The style of play remains the same. You should pay more attention to looking for opportunities in the interior and try to get as close to the opponent's basket as possible. But when defending, I hope you can stand on the front line and form the first barrier. Don't let Lin Yi fall into a trap on the court. Amidst the foul trouble, there are too many annoying voices in this damn venue, and the people here are already crazy, I don't want that kid to be affected by any off-court factors, so you are the most important." Spohr Stella called these four old guys to his side to explain the tactical arrangement on the field. He specially reminded these old guys about fouls. After all, Lin Yi's crazy energy in the last game has already With five fouls, this is not the American Airlines Arena in Miami. If Lin wants to continue playing like that again, what awaits him is likely to be full of fouls and leave the field.

The Miami Heat's tactical arrangement is still going on before playing. Spoelstra explained every link in detail, but there is only one center, that is, Lin Yi's emotional problems on the court. These old guys talked about how to help the little guy control his emotions in such a noisy environment. After all, the next two major games will be related to whether Miami's league ranking can be stabilized.

Compared with the busyness of the Miami side, the head coach of the New York Knicks, Mike D'Antoni, has already designated his own list of players. For him, this is a tactical match that he has been thinking about for a few days. It may be easy to change it. Even if the big man does not play, he will bury all his tactical arrangements in advance, and only wait for the detonation the moment he comes on the field. It is arranged around the big man, maybe such a game will give him a chance to continue to breathe on this team.

But when those New York fans saw the starting roster arranged by Mike D'Antoni, the person they started booing was no longer the nasty Lin Yi, but this head coach who seemed to them to be out of his mind. Because when the Miami Heat had Lin Yi on the field, Mike D'Antoni actually left only one David Lee in the paint to support the scene. Enter the NBA's scrap Michael Beasley, not Al Harrington or Eddie Curry as they keep saying.

"Damn, what the hell is that idiot old guy thinking? Look at the two big men that the Filipino put on the court, can we really expect a David Lee to do Lin Yi and McDyess? This is New York! But it doesn't mean that everyone can be a superman! Michael Beasley? What can that trashy guy do? Can he still be expected to get out of Lin Yi's head? Take off a rebound? I bet he can't grab any rebounds from a guy like Bunche Wells. Is this kid Mike D'Antoni's illegitimate child? Why send it at this time He's playing? FUCK! The fucking starting lineup!"

The entire Madison Garden arena is filled with such curses. These die-hard fans of the New York Knicks really don’t know what Mike D’Antoni is thinking now. Does he still want to see the big man? Is it raging here?Basket control?Damn, how can there be any control over the basket in such a disabled lineup, if you don't get beaten by the opponent in the opening stage, you will have to thank God. Is Madison Garden Arena going to suffer from that big man again? A brutal ravage?Already there were people holding their heads in mourning.

Such doubts are not one or two, but have already permeated the entire arena, but Mike D'Antoni did not let himself be disturbed by such criticisms, he was just seizing the last time, telling his five What exactly should a starting player do on the field, especially Michael Beasley was called aside by him alone, and he didn't let others hear what he and Beasley whispered between him.

It's not that Beasley didn't hear the doubts from the fans, but compared to those noisy voices, he paid more attention to the big man standing not far away. He even paid attention to Mike D'Antoni didn't fully listen to the arrangement. Maybe he wanted his performance on the court to explain everything. If those New York fans have an inexplicable hatred for Lin Yi, then Bisley has more It is a kind of hatred from the bottom of my heart. If Lin Yi hadn't turned out in that damn summer, maybe he had already started his brilliant rookie road, and he wasn't here to bear these damn boos and doubts. If that guy hadn't been in Miami's training camp a year ago, maybe he'd be the one standing next to Wade by now, not the damn big yellow guy, that decision The teaching competition that sealed their respective fates brought about a qualitative change in the career trajectories of the two. It was just that one was high and the other was low. Lin Yi used his strong performance and crazy upward momentum to lead the Miami Heat directly to the finals. In the finals, almost all the people of Miami regarded him as a savior-like great guy, but the unlucky Beasley could only hang around with the New York Knicks, the bottom team in the league.

Beasley's suffering in a bad team like the New York Knicks this year is not good. He didn't get any reuse in the New York Knicks without his high pick in the draft, because there is never a lack of Talent, what is missing here is strict discipline and a cooperative team, and as a rookie, he failed to seize his own opportunities at the beginning of the season, and he did not play his own NCAA scoring machine in the first few games of the game Efficiency, but he has been in the frustration of passing the Heat for several consecutive games. This kind of mentality makes it difficult for him to find a very stable playing time. New York fans have never had the patience to wait for a new player Growing up, what they need is grades, not a talent selected at a high pick. His performance has begun to be questioned by New York fans, and some people have even lamented there. This is another parallel importer selected by the New York Knicks. The title of NCAA scoring champion is just a seemingly illusory past, and the ensuing cold spell made Beasley lose his sense of the game. What awaited him was a terrible rookie season, especially with Lin Yi. when compared together.

The lack of height and strength has become a fatal injury to Beasley. In the entire New York Knicks' playing sequence, he can only be forgotten at the end near the drinking fountain. This is completely different from his performance in the NCAA. There is a world of difference, not to mention his high draft ranking, his role in the New York Knicks is only limited to when the overall situation of the game is determined or completely entered the garbage time, he may get more than a dozen Compared with Lin Yi's absolute core position in the team, Beasley's entire rookie season was like living in hell. He even ranked in the top 30 in the ranking of the best rookies last season. None of them entered, he had no choice but to endure hard work. After a summer of hard training, he was finally able to impress Mike D'Antoni with his actual actions at the beginning of the new season, but he could only guarantee his ability on the court. The time gradually increased to about 10 minutes, which didn't help his field data much, but he finally saw a glimmer of light.

Maybe it's not to blame those fans for expressing their dissatisfaction with crazy shouts on the sidelines. After all, it is expected that a person who is only a little over two meters and a David Lee can stare at McDavid. The inside attack combination of Beasley and Lin is simply a myth that no one can believe. Don't forget that Beasley has never scored a double-double in a single game in the New York Knicks. A few days ago, under Okafor and David West's teamwork, his opponent managed to score 42 points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocked shots. Such a direct comparison of strength and weakness has already Enough for those fans to swear loudly on the sidelines that Mike D'Antoni is an idiot.

However, such cursing and abuse did not make Mike D'Antoni change his tactical intentions, and Beasley's opportunity to have such a direct dialogue with Lin Yi made him feel a little eager to try. From the beginning of the warm-up, this guy showed He was extremely excited, and several consecutive slam dunks could not let him release all the strength in his body. He hoped that he could really kill that big man with both hands in a frontal confrontation on the field.

Mike D'Antoni gave Beasley such an opportunity. He just told this guy in a low voice that he hoped that Beasley would be able to carry Lin Yi behind him in the help defense at the basket. David Lee played a harassing role. Miami’s offense will definitely be on the inside. This is a secret that will not change. He hopes that Beasley can do everything possible to interfere with Lin Yi’s offensive rhythm. , try to make the big man impatient in the attack, and use all methods when necessary, remember, everything, including any means.

Beasley has long been familiar with the rules of playing in the NBA. He knows how to please the fans at home. So when Mike D'Antoni mentioned this, he already knew what he should do. Let him defend desperately, but let him become dirty. Sometimes fierce fouls are also a means of showing his existence, but let a former NCAA scoring champion do the dirty work under the basket. For Beasley, I really don't know whether it is luck or sorrow. Maybe he just wants to find a way to prove that he is not a parallel importer.

Lin Yi is at a loss and unknown about all this. Perhaps he only hopes to use offense in such a game to clear up the melancholy in his heart. . .

(Watching the Champions League at night... without my favorite team, I can finally enjoy it from a neutral perspective, hehe.)
