NBA: Peak Thompson starts

Lin Tao has no interest in responding to criticism from the New York media, and he needs to deal with his first preseason game.

To be honest, Lin Tao could never have imagined that D’Antoni would actually arrange for him to play the number one position!

Duhon, who had a very poor performance in the first three games, chose to take a rotational break.

“Coach, are you so trusting my organizational skills and dribbling skills?” Lin Tao was a little crying and laughing.

He could tell that D’Antoni wanted to try to play the same dual-energy guard as Harden in the future.

“Lin, believe me, your dribbling ability is no worse than that of the average point guard, and you also have a certain talent in organization.”

“OK, I’ll try.”

In the four games of the preseason, Lin Tao was moved to the No. 1 position.

It turns out that even if Lin Tao has 4 years of Tangshen ability, he is not an excellent point guard.

His offensive ability with the ball is not at the top!

In these four games, Lin Tao played a little struggling, averaging 34 minutes per game, scoring 20.5 points, 4.5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

D’Antoni succeeded in exposing Lin Tao’s flaws more obviously.

Although Lin Tao’s personal data is good, the team’s attack is similar to when Du Hong was organized.

The Knicks also had a 1-3 record in their last four preseason games.

Lin Tao also felt the malice of Knicks fans full of malice towards the home team players in consecutive home games!!

Boo!

Lots of boos!!

These boos were not aimed at Lin Tao, but at the entire Knicks.

Lin Tao feels that it is rare that this Knicks can be mixed into today.

If it was a rookie with a bad mentality, in the face of such pressure, he would have already had a psychological breakdown, but Lin Tao would not.

Lin Tao still maintains a good attitude.

In general, in the preseason, Lin Tao’s performance is decent, his scoring ability is good, and the organization is not what he is good at.

The media did not really use superstar standards to demand rookie Lin Tao, they just mocked D’Antoni for trying to turn a “Ray Allen” into “Nash”.

Although the outside world does not have high requirements, Lin Tao is self-demanding, and he is ready to use his hole cards in his debut.

After playing the No. 1 position in the preseason, Lin Tao felt that his ability was far from enough, and he had to become stronger.

Relying only on Thompson’s ability, it is difficult for him to help the team change qualitatively, he needs some of Iverson’s ability!!

The day before the start of the regular season.

The Knicks held their first public media interview of the new season!

After nearly a month of getting along, Lin Tao also had several teammates and friends who had a good relationship in the locker room.

For example, David Lee, Crawford, Wilson Chandler and others, Lin Tao is not alone on the fishing boat.

These teammates will release Lin Tao’s performance in the training ground, although it is not very useful, but it is better than nothing!

On the day of media day, the Knicks’ interview hall burst into hundreds of reporters.

Among them are many journalists from China.

Such interviews are far more popular than previous seasons.

As far as the onlookers at the scene are concerned, most of the reporters mainly came to Lin Tao, and Lin Tao also sat in the middle position, with D’Antoni on the left and David Lee on the right.

With the progress of the preseason, Lin Tao’s handsome skills and face have swept New York during this time, and many little beauties in the New York entertainment industry have expressed their good feelings for Lin Tao on various occasions.

This makes Lin Tao’s popularity climb day by day!

The New York Times’ first question was aggressive: “Lin, do you think you matched the 6th pick in the preseason?” Would you be grateful to Knicks management for choosing you with such a high pick? What do you want to say”

“Thanks? It’s not me who is thankful, it’s you who should thank me! It is New York’s good fortune to choose me, your honor!!! I’ll give you guys more topics to hype! ”

“What I want to say to everyone is: “You’re welcome, that’s just what I’m supposed to do!” ”

Lin Tao’s high profile once again caused an uproar at the scene!

Very arrogant!!

You are welcome?

Who wants to thank you?

This is a very pretentious rookie, and it seems that Lin Tao has a somewhat different attitude from the previous rookie.

This is a deliberate change made by Lin Tao himself, and after the fight, he feels that this society will only make honest people suffer.

He needs to turn into a ferocious wolf so that no one will come looking for trouble, and he will start fighting back against the criticism of the media!!

The reporter asked: “Do you think you are qualified to say these things now?” Tomorrow night is just your debut! ”

Lin Tao laughed mockingly: “Of course, tomorrow night you guys will obediently watch me perform, if you can’t help but want to scream, please don’t restrain yourself!” ”

“Fak!!” A reporter couldn’t help but whisper at Lin Tao’s pretense.

The reporter continued to ask: “Do you have any suggestions for female fans who will watch your game tomorrow night?” ”

The reporter wants to emphasize the word female fans and want to show that Lin Tao does not have any male fans!

Lin Tao said with a smile: “Girls, sit down obediently, watch my performance, and take care of the image!” ”

Lin Tao’s confidence filled the scene of the press conference, sometimes confronting reporters, sometimes laughing and silent.

In dealing with various acute issues, Lin Tao shows his maturity.

The New York media never imagined that the rookies they used to bully in the past were so eloquent, beyond everyone’s unexpected maturity.

These media were also aroused to rebel, and one by one they continued to frantically attack Lin Tao, and this rookie’s resistance made them feel unacceptable!!

Compared with foreign media, Lin Tao is picky, while domestic media is much more friendly.

The media from his hometown paid attention to Lin Tao’s locker room and teammate relationship, as well as whether the pace of life was adaptable, whether he was used to it, and of course, occasionally gossiped about whether Lin Tao had a girlfriend.

In the face of friendly concern, Lin Tao also showed plenty of patience: “I am very comfortable here, the girls here are also very friendly to me, they are very cute, except that there will be a group of buzzing flies from time to time that are a little annoying, everything else is good.” ”

The interview was conducted in Chinese, which the New York media could not understand, and the domestic media laughed.
