There are many veterans who want to join the Knicks, after all, the combination of Lin Yi and Paul is too young, and people are optimistic that they can become the new OK combination.

Among the many veterans, Lin Yi found a name he was extremely familiar with at a glance: Tracy McGrady.

The four blacksmiths who used to be old are now old and retired, only Carter is the same as ever, and the volute music festival is still staged...... It's really embarrassing.

However, Maddie should have chosen the base salary to join the Hawks, but Lin Yi still underestimated the power of the invitation he sent now, in Maddy's eyes, it is also the base salary, why not choose the Knicks?

Maddie can play multiple positions on the court, and last season he averaged 8+3+3 per game in the Pistons, and now he is no longer the scoring champion of the past.

Lin Yi first abandoned his feelings and analyzed the Knicks' lineup intellectually, as he wants to play the No. 3 position in the new season, in fact, the Knicks' first, second, and third positions have sufficient personnel reserves, so the Knicks consider more veterans from the inside in the free agent market.

But here's the problem, there are no good interior players in the free agent market at present, and there is a serious shortage of high-quality interior players in the NBA during this period, otherwise any big man will not be able to get an annual salary of tens of millions in the future.

"What if Maddie is allowed to swing in the third or fourth position?"

Lin Yi remembered that in the past when the Fire Bull was fighting, Maddie played the No. 4 position and defended against Nowitzki, Maddie has height, and he doesn't need to move so fast to play the No. 4 position, as for the inside line, there are boxing champions and white-sided guards.

In terms of cost performance, it won't be too much of a loss to give Maddie a base salary to the Knicks, after all, the Knicks' lineup has been basically completed.

With the release of the new season's schedule, teams are feeling frenzied...... What five days and four battles, back-to-back are simply torturous!

That's why the 15th man is filled, because the Knicks' main issue for the new season is rotation.

The Knicks don't need Maddy to play every game, don't worry about his injury hazards, it's really not okay for the Knicks to cut and then replace, anyway, Dolan has money.

So Lin Yi thinks that it is feasible to sign Maddie, and now Maddie has long lost his former arrogance, otherwise he would not have come to the Knicks to ask for a basic salary.

But in this way, the Knicks have collected two major spells......

Paul, who can't touch the floor of the West Finals, can't pass the first round of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star Maddie.

You know, Maddie has only reached a second round in her career so far, and that time she was in a hospital bed.

Is there really a wave of "my life is up to me?" ”

Lin Yi was trembling, he was not Aotiansang, but aside from off-court factors, there was really nothing wrong with signing Maddie.

"So be it! In case this season hits the streets, you can also dump the pot on Paul and Maddie! Lin Yi thought to himself.

Of course, he won't really throw the pot out, it's just a joke.

So the Knicks signed Maddie with a one-year veteran base salary, and when he learned that the Knicks were willing to give him a contract, Maddie was relieved, and now he really has no choice, and the Knicks are the best choice.

At this point, the Knicks have also submitted the team's fifteen-man roster for the new season to the league.

The league staff also called to ask the Knicks if they had made a mistake, but the Knicks replied that yes, Lin Yi is going to play small forward in the new season!

As a result, as soon as the news that Lin Yi was going to play small forward in the new season broke out, the headlines of major websites in China and the United States were once again dominated by him! Even the news that his partner Alexander Wong managed to soak up Megan Fox failed to steal him!

221 cm small forward, Lin Yijun, are you serious?

Alexander Wang burst into tears, "Boss, I finally caught up with Meghan, and you ...... it"

Stern felt that this shortened season didn't seem to be as sluggish as he thought!

Because it seems that as long as Lin Yi exists, the topic will never be broken.

The "Anti-Forest League" is panicking, Lin Yi wants to play small forward in the new season, so how will the Knicks play? After Paul joins, will there be any weird routines for the Knicks?

Of course, there are also many experts who think that Lin Yi, a small forward, is a pseudo-small forward, and he just changed positions with his teammates who originally played small forwards......

But with the leak of the Knicks' in-team training video at the media open day, the experts found themselves being pricked again!

Because Lin Yi is really going to play a small forward, what kind of pseudo small forward is this, Lin Yi is really a small forward's style of play!

You must know that if the Knicks are replaced by Motai, there will be three seven-foot strong men present at the same time! This height, just ask you if you are afraid!

In the summer, Lin Yi completed a wave of small weight gain, and the weight of the new season came to 120.5 kg, which is the most suitable weight for Lin Yi, and the Knicks' physical trainer Mark Duber doesn't even want to look at Lin Yi's physical test data......

To tell the truth, Mark Duber found that there don't seem to be many people in the league who are faster than Lin Yi in the small forward position!

And more importantly, Lin Yi has height and weight!

So at the media day, in addition to taking makeup photos, the media was most curious about why Lin Yi wanted to play small forward in the new season.

"Because I found it difficult for me to play with the opposition's interior players, I went straight to their wings instead of having them struggle to switch defenses." Lin Yi said sincerely.

"Anti-Forest Alliance": peaty, don't take you to play like this!

In fact, a big reason why Lin Yi changed to play small forward is that he has to find a way to defend the MVP, Lin Yi will not sit back and wait for himself to be BAN out of his hero pool by these NBA talents, he has discussed with his teammates in the new season, and he will attack the big O Robertson's average triple-double record per game.

As for Paul's emotions, Lin Yi has already appeased me with 100 servings of fried chicken, of course, waiting until the end of the season.

In addition, after Gallinari went to New Orleans, Lin Yi also reminded the "second battalion commander" that he remembered to open a barbecued wing restaurant in New Orleans, otherwise Lin Yi would feel weird every time he went to New Orleans to play away.

"Lin, what do you think the Knicks' goals are for the new season?" The reporters continued to ask.

"Defend your title if you make the playoffs!"

Lin Yi knew that the media were waiting for him here, so he planted the flag very generously, and Lin Yi did not panic in case of failure to defend the title at that time, because he used the word "striving", not necessarily or surely.

Lin Yi is still quite confident in defending the title, because the Knicks' lineup in the new season is stronger than last season, starting Paul, Green, himself, Da Mo, boxing champion, and the substitutes are Big Heart, Klay, Chandler Jr., Motel, and White Edge......

To be reasonable, the Knicks' bench seems to be better than some of the weaker starters.

Valentinari is gone, but D'Antoni discovers that the rookie named Klay Thompson seems to have something!

Klay's shooting stability is extremely high, and in Lin Yi's rookie season in his previous life, Klay threw in 100+ three-pointers with a 40% shooting rate.

In the shooting competition, he went crazy and even Green sighed to himself, and Green and Klay's defense is very good, plus the careful teaching of Tony Allen, the champion hero, the scoring guards of the Knicks in the new season, should prepare tissues first!

Paul won't talk about it, D'Antoni has a true love for point guards, exactly the same as Lin Yi remembers, D'Antoni's advice to Paul is similar to what he gave Paul: increase singles, and give the organization to Lin Yi.

"Chris, what's the point of assists? It's not like you haven't won the assist king, scoring is king! Lin Yi patted Paul on the shoulder, Paul was very frustrated, and now I don't know if it's good or bad for him to join the Knicks.

What do you want to assist, this kind of garbage data, of course I'm going to brush it! Lin Yimei thought to herself.

……

On the 15th, the Knicks' team-based practice ended, D'Antoni gave the players two days off, and on the 18th and 22nd, the Knicks will play two preseason games with the Nets.

The schedule for the new season was so painful that D'Antoni adjusted many of his mid-season training days to rest days.

Maddie, who had just arrived at the Knicks, planned to impress the coach with hard training, but Lin Yi patted the sleepy-eyed Maddie's back, "Tracy, you're still paddling...... You're no older than you were when you were younger, and I don't want to see you cheering us on from your hospital bed. ”

Maddie: "......"

The shortened season is actually more advantageous for the young team, and the fact that the Heat were able to win the championship this season in their previous life has a lot to do with their youth.

And the fact that the Thunder were able to rush out of the West also had something to do with their youth.

On the 17th, the NBA's crazy signings, trades, and transfers have all come to an end for the time being.

Because the new season of the NBA has begun!
