Chapter 0466 - Milk Can't Be Drunk Randomly! (2nd Update)
Buckley's mouth was simply poisonous.
On the 13th, before Valentine's Day, Klay Thompson sprained his ankle in training.
is worthy of the famous "Splash Brothers" in Lin Yi's memory, and Klay's injury position this time is exactly the same as Curry's.
Of course, Klay is actually a very durable player, and the main reason for his injury this time is because he has been practicing too hard lately.
After all, there is a Lin Yi in the Knicks team who is dead to himself every day, and Clay feels that he can't admit defeat, so he increases his training volume in training.
Lin Yi's "hard-working personality" is the culprit who indirectly caused Klay's injury, in fact, during the long season, it is impossible for players to improve themselves like crazy in the summer, and most NBA players are tasked with maintaining their condition during the season, using training to familiarize themselves with the team's tactics and teammates' style...... However, Lin Yi is the only exception!
Clay is always a rookie, he takes Lin Yi's devil training as his benchmark, and desperately squeezes himself, but this time he is finished.
Each team has encountered different degrees of injury waves in the shrinking season, and the Knicks, who have been spared, can finally join this injury group chat, but other teams want to kick the Knicks out......
Because compared to these teams full of injuries, the Knicks are simply not too healthy.
Klay is worthy of his own durability attributes, and the Knicks team doctor believes that his sprain is not serious, and he can play after a week of recuperation, and if D'Antoni needs it, Klay is completely OK to play with the injury.
As soon as D'Antoni heard the team doctor introduce Clay's injury, he was a little unhappy, peat, what is it called to let players fight with injuries, am I D'Antoni the kind of person who dies as a player?
D'Antoni immediately drove Clay home and told him to rest, a week of rest is not enough, two weeks is fine, anyway, he will come back after he is well raised.
And Lin Yi also found Clay in time, because Clay's injury this time did not exist in Lin Yi's memory, and Lin Yi didn't want to see Clay become a "glass Buddha" in the future.
"Clay, you have to control the amount of training you have, you look at Chris, his training volume is very scientific." Lin Yi used Paul as an example for Clay and told Clay to paddle when he should paddle.
Most of the rookie players are stunned, and Morris Jr. has also recently encountered a rookie wall, and his average data per game has dropped a lot.
To put it bluntly, most rookies don't know how to allocate their physical strength, and often the season starts like a chicken blood, and then after being studied by opponents and their physical fitness declines, it is easy to hit this so-called "rookie wall".
Clay looked at Lin Yi with some unwillingness, "But Lin, why has your training intensity been so high?" ”
Lin Yi looked up at the sky, and had to forcibly explain: "That's all the illusion you saw, I was actually deliberately doing it for the media!" It's called 'The Emperor's New Clothes', but I'm usually too lazy to do it, and as long as I can rest, I will never train. ”
Clay opened his eyes wide, although Clay felt that Lin Yi was hiding something, but Clay felt that Lin Yi was simply a monster, not only had good talent, but also always worked harder than others, the most important thing is that you follow him to practice with your life, and the first unlucky one is definitely yourself.
Having said that, Klay has to miss three to five games with this injury, which makes Klay very uncomfortable, because now he is not only competing with Irving for the best rookie, but also with Harden for the sixth man of the season.
"I'll take care of the amount of training in the future!"
Thinking that there was still half of this season, Clay no longer hesitated, he decisively agreed to Lin Yi, and said that he would never practice so desperately during the season in the future.
After seeing that Clay was not led astray by himself, Lin Yi touched Clay's head with confidence, but Lin Yi didn't expect that the power of Barkley's poisonous milk could not be offset by Clay's injury......
……
On the 14th, the Knicks rushed to Toronto on Valentine's Day, and in an offensive in the second quarter of the game, the Knicks' champion last season "Big Heart" Billups suddenly fell to the ground!
Lin Yi, who was resting on the bench at the time, felt the pill when he saw Billups's painful expression, because Lin Yi remembered very well that Billups suffered a major injury in February of this season in his previous life.
That major injury can be said to have directly led to Billups' early retirement, because after returning from injury, Billups' athleticism could no longer support him to continue playing NBA-level games.
This season, Lin Yi invited Paul to join, in a sense, to reduce the burden on Billups.
The Knicks' rotation strategy this season has allowed players to get plenty of rest, but in reality, the shortened season is the biggest enemy of the players.
No matter how good the rotation is, it can only be said to reduce the possibility of injuries, because even if it is a sun doctor, it is impossible to completely eliminate injuries.
105-97, the Knicks finally defeated the Raptors on the road, but Billups' injury made it difficult for the Knicks' players to be at all.
After the MRI after the game, Billups' injury was diagnosed as a torn ankle, and the Knicks officially announced that Billups would be reimbursed for the season, and many Knicks fans gave Billups their blessings on the official website, and Billups's former teammates also tweeted encouragement to him.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Lin Yi, who has a "healing technique" body protector, has experienced the reimbursement of his teammates' season.
Lin Yi seems to have a lucky aura as soon as he enters the alliance, although the healing technique cannot be used by his teammates, but under his advice, his teammates can always avoid some injuries.
The Knicks' ability to win the championship last season has a lot to do with the team's continued health.
Livingston and Gallinari also experienced injuries in the middle of last season, but compared to other teams, these injuries for the Knicks are really negligible.
This is the NBA, no team is always lucky to avoid injuries, but even if they are no longer lucky, the Knicks still have to move forward.
After returning to New York, Lin Yi took his teammates to visit Billups in the hospital, and the "big heart" was optimistic than Lin Yi, and Billups, who was about to undergo surgery, cheered for the Knicks players in turn, which moved the whole Knicks team.
……
On the 15th, Madison Square Garden, the Knicks faced the Kings back-to-back, the first meeting between the two teams this season, the Knicks had beaten the Kings by 69 points, and that game can be described as a battle that beat the Kings to the bottom, you know, since then the Kings have not won 18 consecutive games.
After Billups was out for the season, D'Antoni was ready to activate Maddy, but Maddie didn't play in this game against the Kings.
Although the games were back-to-back, the Knicks, who played at home, won quite easily.
The mentality of Tristan Thompson, a rookie on the Kings team, completely collapsed, and the bustle of New York, the Knicks' slaughter in the new season, and the tsunami-like cheers at Madison Square Garden...... In TT's opinion, these would have been their own!
Tristan Thompson doesn't want to stay in Sacramento anymore, and it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality. TT, who has seen the world in the Knicks, is not willing to rot in Sasa City forever, and in TT's opinion, he would rather sit next to the Knicks' water cooler and cry than play the main laugh in the Kings.
88-127, after Billups' season reimbursement, the Knicks' strength has not been affected much for the time being, TNT TV, Barkley said with emotion after the game: "This is really a blessing in misfortune, although the Knicks have recently had players injured, but their key players can still stay healthy, for the Knicks, the next schedule is extremely difficult, they need to maintain sufficient desire to win, continue to fight!" ”
