On January 1, the New York Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks 112-108 on the road, ushering in the team's first win of 2010.

The game was very close, and the Hawks singled Joe was in good shape, shooting 11 of 23, plus free throws to get a total of 35 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds.

In this game, the inside line formed by Josh Smith, who was still flying in the sky, and Horford, an honest man, successfully limited Lin Yi's play.

The main reason why the Knicks were able to win on the road in this game was because David Lee, the floor streamer, ushered in a big explosion, and Knicks fans even shouted on the road: "Awesome!" My left-handed brother! Such a slogan.

David Lee seemed to be possessed by Mullin's soul on this night, how to play, how to play, and slashed 38 points and 21 rebounds in the game

30+20 oversized two pairs!

Lin Yi also benefited from this, brushing up a career-high 18 assists!

Lin Yi only made 8 shots in this game, most of the time playing the role of a playmaker, and 3 of his 8 shots came in the final moments of the game.

Eagles head coach Woodson couldn't help but wonder after the game: "Shouldn't he be more focused on organizing the team's offense because our defense is very focused on him?" ”

Woodson thought the conjecture was a bit incredible.

Because Lin Yi is only 20 years old, even if he has a very high basketball IQ, he is also a rookie in the NBA, how can he have such a strong ability to read the game.

In fact, Woodson didn't know that Lin Yi decisively switched styles after seeing the Hawks' defensive layout, for the simple reason that Horford is an interior with good mobility ability, unlike those low-post big butts, Horford has a slender figure, and he has also developed three-point ability in the future, shooting 42.1% three-point shooting.

Horford has the speed, height, and reach, and relies on defense and playmaking, and is the interior axis of the future Hawks and Celtics.

If there is only one Horford, the point is that Josh Smith is at the peak of his career right now!

Josh Smith played 1000+500+200+100+200 data at the peak of his career, blocks, steals, and dunks, and was proficient in everything.

Lin Yi knew that the eagle had dug a pit for himself, how could he still jump into it?

As for David Lee's big outbreak in this game, it is mainly because Lin Yi fed him his feel, a player like David Lee, no matter how high you jump opposite you, it is useless, and David Lee is not directly with you.

David Lee's state is getting better and better, and Lin Yi simply retreats into the background and becomes the lighthouse of the Knicks, illuminating the dawn of victory for the Knicks.

As for the number of assists that hit a new career high, Lin Yi really didn't pay attention, the NBA's assists are relatively loose, and there are several balls that Lin Yi did not form a direct offensive opportunity after passing over, but David Lee got it in.

This kind of assist method is similar to Rondolang's guidance, don't look at Lang's career assists, but if you want to pick a wonderful pass, Nash, Magic Johnson, and White Chocolate are king.

The only difference from Coach Lang is that Lin Yi is a scorer who averages 20+ per game, and the Hawks are very suspicious of him, so David Li Ming exploded on the spot, and the Hawks did not dare to make up for it.

In the new year, the Hawks are also a strong team in the East, and after the Knicks won, everyone is in a very good mood.

……

In January, the Knicks' schedule was much easier, with only one back-to-back, and D'Antoni also arranged for the players to rest and recover in time.

After entering January, it is a period of high injury incidence for NBA teams, and the team has achieved good results, so D'Antoni naturally thinks more long-term.

However, on the same day that the Knicks had just returned to New York, ESPN, JRS Voice, CBS TV ...... Almost all the media exposed a piece of news at the same time!

Lin Yi will not be unfamiliar with this news, and he will still come if he should come.

The "gungate" incident that shocked the whole United States broke out!

Regarding the "gungate" incident, Lin Yi should be most impressed by the different testimony of the two parties after the incident, one of the parties, Arenas, said that the two did not point guns at each other at all, and he had an argument with Clittanton in order to help his teammate McGee recover the gambling money.

Another client, Critanton, said that it was Arenas who owed him $1,100 in gambling money and was afraid that Arenas would really "shoot" him, so he would bring a gun just in case.

In any case, the outbreak of the "gungate" incident immediately aroused great dissatisfaction with the NBA from all walks of life in the United States!

Originally, this bunch of black players with high salaries were very disgusting with all kinds of drinking, and the "gungate" incident suddenly touched the forbidden word in the American public opinion circles: guns.

In his previous life, Lin Yi, as a fan, found it difficult to understand why the impact of the "gun gate" incident was so bad, but in this life, he understood it in the United States.

Xiao Zhong Tongshou told him, "In the United States, gun homicides almost happen every year, BA, as one of the four major sports leagues, is on the cusp, in fact, many players with gun licenses in the NBA like to carry guns, but just imagine, if Arenas and Critanton couldn't help but really shoot at that time, how much public opinion pressure would the NBA have to bear?" ”

The consequences of "gungate" are serious, in fact, the real date of this incident is last Christmas Eve, after the Wizards lost to the Suns on the road, Arenas and Critanton on the plane at the time had an altercation.

Lin Yi knew that the most authentic version should be described by the third bystander, Kaloon Butler.

McGee is nothing more than Arenas' whitewashing rhetoric.

Whether it is Arenas or Critanton, Lin Yi feels that there is nothing to regret, the latter Critanton even shot and killed a woman named Julian Jones in 2011 after leaving the NBA, you know, it was an innocent mother of four......

Critanton was later sentenced to 23 years in prison, and from the NBA to prison, Critanton explained what it means to die without dying.

What is there to sympathize with for such scum?

Arenas also died by himself, because whether it was the version recalled by Caron Butler or the version recalled by Jamison, the fuse of this incident was to put it bluntly, that the "Great General" wanted to play tricks.

At that time, he was playing cards with Critanton on the plane, and after losing $1,100, Arenas wanted to repay the debt, but he didn't expect Critanton, a stunned young man, to give Arenas no face at all, pointing to Arenas's nose and saying that he was a scoundrel.

Arenas didn't expect a marginal person on the team to dare to do this to him, so Arenas, who played a trick, was unwilling to give money, and had a big quarrel with Critanton.

According to Butler's later description, he advised Arenas at that time, you are an NBA star with an annual salary of tens of millions, and there is no need to negotiate the $1,100 with a player who only earns two or three hundred thousand a year, but unfortunately, how could Arenas, who was already angry, listen?

He doesn't care about money, he cares about face.

So Arenas, who wanted to save face, threatened Critanton that he would bring a gun to the locker room, and Critanton did not hesitate and said that he would bring a gun.

2 days later, in the locker room of the Wizards, Arenas and Critanton really quarreled again, at first the teammates followed and coaxed, thinking that the two were joking, but Arenas really brought two unloaded guns, and he pointed to Critanton and said, let him choose one.

As a result, Critanton smiled, pulled out a loaded gun, and pointed it directly at Arenas.

Arenas probably panicked at the time, and it was clear from the fact that the two guns he had brought were not loaded, and Arenas might really just want to scare Critanton.

It's a pity that Critanton is a real murderer, where does he care?

The Wizards who were still coaxing before were frightened, ran out of the locker room one by one, and even some of the timid ones immediately called 911 to call the police.

Wizards head coach Philip Sanders was so scared that he didn't even dare to enter the locker room, and there was an unusually terrifying atmosphere throughout the Wizards.

At the critical moment, Butler's persuasion had an effect, he warned Critanton, you are still young, if this shot is fired, your life will be over, Critanton is still somewhat sensible, so after Arenas admitted to leaving the locker room first, he did not press the trigger.

As soon as this happened, Glenfield, the general manager of the Wizards, made up his mind to trade everyone, the Wizards were finished, and Glenfield knew the seriousness of this matter.

It is impossible for paper to contain the fire, especially since a timid Wizards player has already called the police in the first place.

Arenas originally thought that he might only be banned for one or two games at most, but as more and more details of "Gun Door" were exposed, and the NBA received more and more negative evaluations, NBA commissioner David Stern couldn't hold back anymore!

He immediately announced that both Arenas and Critanton would be banned for the rest of the season!

50 games!

Following the Auburn Hills Palace brawl and the Knicks' new season preseason boxing Pachulia incident, the league issued another heavyweight ticket.

And the Wizards don't have to pay Arenas for the rest of the season.

Stern was almost angry to death the first time he learned about this incident, you know, he worked hard to change people's stereotype that the NBA likes to fight and wrestle!

Why did Stern actively support James and ignore Anthony? It's because James is good!

He is a model among black players, knows how to manage money, and can speak.

A big reason why Harden lost to Wei Shao in the future MVP evaluation is that Harden has too much negative news.

As one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, the NBA's social influence is very high, and these stars are the idols of many young people, but when these idols are instigating crime, how can parents let their children continue to pay attention to the NBA?

The outright outbreak of the "gungate" incident has cast a layer of dust on the entire 09/10 NBA season, and all of a sudden, NBA teams have launched a gun ban campaign, prohibiting players from bringing guns to the locker room.

After David Stern issued his ban, he felt like he had nothing to love.

The president is very tired, don't these black players know that they should keep a low profile when they make money? Don't think about Messerway, because in Stern's eyes, there are a bunch of Messerway in the NBA......

"I really want to retire." Stern thought to himself.

Just when Stern had nothing to love, a light in the darkness was about to appear......
