NBA: Peak Thompson starts

D’Antoni believes that according to the intensity of the summer league, the players there can’t give Lin Tao too much exercise.

On the contrary, the easier it is, because there are too many people playing hard, Lin Tao may suffer unnecessary injuries.

After communication, Lin Tao will eventually be recalled after the first round of knockouts, and it doesn’t make much sense to win the summer league, D’Antoni doesn’t care about that thing, his purpose has now been achieved.

After reaching the first round of the knockout round, the Knicks faced a strong rival Thunder.

Unlike a motley army like the Knicks, the Thunder sent players with contracts such as Sefrosha, Wilcox, Johan Pedro and so on, some of them even team starters, of course, this year’s No. 4 show is also here, their goal is to train for the regular season, of course, to win a championship by the way.

Wei Shao and Lin Tao chatted for a long time before the game, and Wei Shao and Lin Tao complained about the backwardness of the Russian village.

As a child growing up in California, it was not customary to go to the Russian village.

The largest building there was actually their home Ford Center, which made Wei Shao feel helpless.

Compared to others who don’t know how powerful Lin Tao is, Wei Shao is very clear.

In this game, the Thunder side was Wei Shao and Sefrosha, who was the top defender who entered the defensive second team.

Wei Shao is very familiar with Lin Tao, plus he is talented, fast and physically strong.

And after entering the knockout rounds, as the game decreased, the sense of crisis of the Knicks players came, they played a little alone today, and without the cooperation of teammates, Lin Tao did not have many opportunities to score easily, he only scored 13 points in the first half.

Facing the powerful Thunder, the Knicks fell into a bitter battle in the first half.

By halftime, the Knicks were trailing by as many as 18 points.

No one felt that the Knicks still had a chance to reverse, and judging from the performance in the first half, Lin Tao fell into the trap of two or even sometimes three, and the rest of the Knicks did not have the ability to rewrite the situation, and this situation would continue to allow the Knicks to be killed by the Thunder.

Dressing room at half-time.

Thunder this side.

Wei Shao still said to everyone: “In the second half, we still have to maintain the intensity, don’t underestimate Lin Tao, I have been teammates with him, and I know how terrifying this guy is when he breaks out.” ”

“Russell, are you a little overestimating Lin? This guy is just the No. 6 pick, and although he played well in the first half, he didn’t get to the point where he could win us alone. Thunder’s starting center Wilcox said.

“Just need to guard his threes, the rest doesn’t seem to be so powerful, Russell, you’re too sensitive.” Sefrosha also said.

“Haha! In any case, tonight’s victory is definitely ours, we are the team to win the championship. Johan Pedro shouted.

The Thunder finished second last season in the regular season, and they entered Durant’s iron-playing mode… so summer league champions are actually rare.

Although Wei Shao solemnly told these old birds about Lin Tao’s scoring explosiveness, these old birds did not care.

Having seen NBA superstars, they don’t think Lin Tao can lead the team to reverse.

Wei Shao could only shake his head helplessly….. He only hoped that Lin Tao would not break out in the second half.

Knicks locker room.

The atmosphere is a little heavy.

Because of the consecutive group stage wins, a lot of the players here are a bit fluttery, they think they are a green onion.

Douglas, Ewing Jr. and others didn’t know how to play in the second half, and they rarely experienced such games.

If you lose this knockout match, you have to pack your bags and go home.

Do they still have a chance to log in to the NBA?

Miller’s coaching career isn’t long, he’s not very experienced, and he doesn’t know how to solve problems on the field.

Miller’s two assistants also did not have a good way.

According to the experience of the group stage, the Knicks should be very strong, winning every game in three quarters, how can they be dumb as soon as they reach the knockout round.

This is Miller’s first time leading the team to play in the summer league, and such a task is also an opportunity to train him, but at this time, he really does not have much to think about.

Miller is already preparing to lose.

It’s just an ordinary summer league, and even if it loses, D’Antoni won’t say anything.

D’Antoni originally intended to let Lin Tao, who came to exercise, go back early, so that everyone disbanded early, which was good.

Some of the Knicks’ improvised players in the locker room also seem to be preparing to pack their bags and leave after losing the game.

Many of the people here haven’t decided on a job yet, and some have to go to European clubs for tryouts.

In such an atmosphere.

Lin Tao stood up and walked to the middle of the dressing room.

He clapped his hands, signaling everyone’s attention to come to mind.

After these games of on-field and off-field exchanges to win together, almost everyone recognized Lin Tao’s strength from their hearts, and most of the jealous people also turned into envy.

The impression of him changing from “what is the No. 6 show” to “really worthy of the No. 6 show” has changed!!

Lin Tao’s style of play is very non-possession, is a great endpoint, he has helped many people here brush a lot of assists, get along in the dressing room, Lin Tao does not have a high-minded attitude, if someone is willing to chat with him, he will also talk to people about life, career or something.

Now Lin Tao has conquered this team to a large extent, and he is the core of this temporary team.
