Chapter 116 The new season begins!
It is estimated that someone will ask, why doesn't Hu Lin find a famous NBA star as his personal trainer?Haven't there been reports about this in many newspapers and websites?For example, Dameng also coached Yaoming one-on-one, even though it was only for one afternoon, and Ewing is still coaching Yaoming in the Rockets?

First of all, the NBA is an ever-evolving league, and it is always moving towards a higher, faster, and stronger direction. Therefore, many so-called celebrities, they are a little behind the times.

Second, none of the well-known active NBA stars invite NBA celebrities as their personal coaches.Don't be surprised, this is a fact!

why?Because, a good player is not necessarily a good coach. Throughout the history of the NBA, players who become coaches are often role players, such as Phil Jackson, Avery Johnson... There are many examples, but basically good players are Bird and McHale were great without success as coaches.

Don't you want these guys, who are extremely expensive, can't keep up with the development of the times, are illiterate or semi-literate, and actually don't help you much to improve your strength, to guide you how to fight in the NBA?
As a time traveler, Hu Lin certainly wouldn't be so stupid.

A month of hard training is still very fruitful. Hu Lin and Lao Li's bodies are stronger and their skills are better. Although the money is not less, it is worth it!Anyway, Hu Lin thinks it's worth it, it's worth it!
How much did it cost?

Well, no more, no less, a total of $12!
Well, pull back.

After the training camp, on November 11nd in the preseason, the Knicks will face the Grizzlies at home!

In the first NBA regular season game of the 06-07 season, all the Knicks wore a small piece of black yarn on their uniforms, and there was a one-minute silence before the game, all because of Hu Lin!

That's right, these ceremonies were all for Hu Lin's parents. Although it was a bit late, Hu Lin was very moved by the kindness of the Knicks.

When Hu Lin's tears were finally uncontrollable, the TV broadcast camera was also aimed at him. However, at this time, except for the fans who watched the ESPN live broadcast on the Internet, Chinese domestic TV audiences could not see it, because there were no TV stations to support him. The game is televised.

"Remember what I said! You must remember! You can't let your opponent shoot comfortably! Besides, you have to be smart, smart, you know!?" Isiah Thomas seems to be quite adapted to the job of coaching, and he quickly Just found the feeling.

From Hu Lin's point of view, Thomas' level is still there.In fact, the basic coaching work is similar, but the personal emphasis is different.

Larry Brown is a standard academic coach who emphasizes reasonable distribution of the ball in offense, and emphasizes active defense and protection of the penalty area in defense.In fact, many of Thomas' coaching concepts are similar to those of Larry Brown, but his tactical gestures are different, and he has a unique feature.

That is to have a unique understanding of fouls and small moves. To put it bluntly, Thomas brought in the style of the Bad Boys when he was in the Pistons.

When you mention the Bad Boys Legion, everyone will definitely think of dirty, vicious, and fighting!

In fact, the real essence is not these things.

What is the real essence of bad boy style?

clever! Smart!

You read that right, really smart!

Play Dirty, Violent Fouls, Fights!These things are just the appearance of bad boys, but the real meaning is smart.

Why do you want to fight dirty?Why so many little moves?

This is to piss off the opponent!Only by letting your opponent lose his sense of normalcy, then he will be easily controlled by you, and you can easily lure him to foul, so that your opponent will have to sit on the sidelines.

Why is the foul so hard?
This is to make the opponent afraid of you!He is afraid of you, how can he play this ball?Therefore, winning is a matter of course!

As for fighting, it's because you're not smart enough.If you don't have a good grasp of this speed, even if you provoke your opponent, don't turn into a state of killing your father.Fouls are ruthless, and don't smash people's jobs, that is, we can't do things like ruin people's sports career.

Of course, if we want to fight, then we will not be afraid of anyone, just roll our arms and do it!

Therefore, smartness is the real essence of bad boys!

But, can the current Knicks players really understand the meaning of "smart"?This seems to be a bit suspicious.

Hu Lin is the starter today. Although the Knicks have two guards with an annual salary of 1000 million U.S. dollars, because of special events, Hu Lin beats the boss to start the game.

After the opening 3 minutes, Hu Lin scored 1 assist, and after 1 free throw, he was replaced by Boss Fu.

Afterwards, Hu Lin played in leftover time. Although his efficiency was good, he still seemed unable to impress the smiling assassin. In this game, Hu Lin played a total of 11 minutes and scored 7 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds .

The Knicks beat the Grizzlies 118-117 in a three-overtime game.

This seemed to be a good start, but Thomas the 'Smiling Assassin' couldn't smile.The reason is that the 'sister-in-law' did not appear in the Grizzlies' lineup for this game!
In the previous World Championships in Japan, when he played against Argentina in the semifinals, his sister-in-law injured his ankle at the last moment. He needed to rest for 3 months. Of course, this included a certain period of physical recovery.

Anyway, the Knicks are off to a good start this year, winning Game 14!Moreover, the fans also found many bright spots. For example, Eddie Curry scored 3 rebounds and 9 blocked shots today. This is definitely an achievement that can be written in his career history. It worked out, he grabbed 13 rebounds this night!Ah Q also seemed to get rid of his back injury, played 56 minutes, scored 31 points and 9 rebounds.

This is simply a record that made the fans shine. Therefore, Madison Square Garden was once again full of joyful atmosphere, and Thomas also made people have more expectations!
One day later, still at home, the Knicks faced the Atlanta Hawks!

"Hush!!!..." Madison Garden was booed by fans!
They're not booing the Hawks, they're booing the Knicks!
At this time, the game time was already in the second half of the fourth quarter, and Hu Lin was still on the court, but this was definitely not because Thomas valued him, but because this time was already rubbish.

In the second half, the score had reached 72 to 57.In the fourth quarter, the 'Eagle King' Smith, who has become an all-round fighter, showed his prowess and scored consecutive points.Joe Johnson was not willing to be lonely, and he made consecutive shots.

The Knicks trailed by 24 points, 65 to 89, with 5:20 remaining in the game before Hulin came on.

"This is an opportunity." Hu Lin said to himself, yes, he needs an opportunity, he needs to prove himself, so that the championship will have such a glimmer of hope.

At present, Lao Li and Channing Frye are still on the field, rookie Reinaldo Balkman, and Gerald Jeffries, who signed in July and arrived with a full mid-level contract.

This big man with a height of 11 meters is now a shooting guard.Don't be surprised, because this guy is too thin to play inside. Although he said he can play power forward, let's forget it.

Although the current situation is not good and the pit has been dug too deep, there is still a certain chance.Of course, this is all analyzed by Hu Lin himself. If it is someone else, he has given up now.

Speed ​​Claxton, this is the opponent Hu Lin is facing now. This gentleman is not well-known. The reason is that coming to the Eagles is the last stop of his career, and he will be injured in the middle of this season, and then disappear. However, there is still 4 million US dollars for 2500 years, and this year is only the first year of the contract.

"Shh!"

As soon as Hu Lin came up, he scored a three-pointer over Clarkston's head, because Hu Lin has a 10 cm height advantage, and now he wants to chase points quickly!

"Snapped!"

"Beautiful!" Lao Li came over to give Hu Lin a high-five very happily. He knew Hu Lin's strength in his heart, but it felt like he was useless now, so Lao Li could feel the depression in his friend's heart.

The Knicks' offense just now was useless for a total of 10 seconds, and the Hawks are also playing very fast. They are all substitutes on the court now, and Clarkston can be regarded as the main force. However, the Hawks are extremely short of point guards, so there is no way.

"Whoosh!" The eagle's shot was very simple, and he shot the ball after two downs.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who didn't make it, Lao Li grabbed the backboard!

Fast attack!

Hu Lin received the pass from Lao Li and quickly moved forward. At this time, the Eagles' formation was quite scattered. It can be seen that the gap between the substitute and the main force is really huge.

"Kuang Ang!"

Jeffries, who rushed to the front, made an alley-oop, and his height advantage was undoubtedly revealed at this moment!
"Oh!!!..." The Knicks fans who hadn't had time to leave the field cheered, and it seemed that a miracle really happened after waiting for an extra minute.

Hu Lin, who passed the ball, did not express anything special, because defense is important now.

The Eagles' offense is very chaotic. Among the substitutes, whoever gets the ball will shoot. At this time, expressing yourself is the most important thing.

Both sides are substitutes, but the Knicks are very efficient and fast.Hu Lin played and passed, not only attacking himself, but also driving other players, and the point difference was constantly narrowing.

离比赛结束还剩下2分14秒的时候，尼克斯的一众替补把分差缩小到了11分80比91！

Within 3 minutes, Hu Lin led the team to a 15-[-] spurt. He made three three-pointers and had two steals!

"Beep!" The Eagles paused.

"Very good! Next, Marbury, Privilege, Curry! You three go up, Frye, Jeffries, Hu, the three of you rest, well, we are going to..."

Boss Fu, his nickname in the NBA is 'Privilege', which is related to his name.Of course, the reason why he is called Boss Fu is also because of this nickname. Everyone with privileges in the locker room is the boss.

Thomas is constantly arranging tactics, and Hu Lin is really a little lost.

In fact, Hu Lin knew in his heart that after this timeout, the main players of the Eagles who had already put on their coats would play again, and at this time, as the head coach, of course they should play the main players. This is understandable, but I have personally experienced you Only then did I know how uncomfortable it was!

The game started, but all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Hu Lin. Lao Li also knew that he was not feeling well, so he patted Hu Lin on the shoulder when he was about to play.

In the end, when the TV camera didn't show the Knicks' bench, it lingered on Hulin for a long time.

92 to 102, the Knicks lost by 10 points at home!
