Double stars shine in Los Angeles

Chapter 5 Failed Season

Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng are still little people after all. American media knowledge slightly expressed their surprise at the sudden signing of two Chinese by the Knicks, as well as their superhuman physical fitness caused by the strong testosterone value of these two Chinese players. No more attention.

At the earliest time, the domestic media and netizens were very keen to dig up the details of Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng. When they found out that the two had never played any professional games, and one of them, Lin Fengzhe, was a son of a rich family. After the rich second generation, all feel disappointed.The feeling given to domestic netizens is that Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng are purely for fun.

Of course, the predictions of netizens were quickly confirmed.Until March [-]th, Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng didn't get even a second of playing time, not even the substitutes, the standard drinking fountain guards.

It's no wonder that Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng didn't get the chance to play. The key is that they have been familiar with the team's tactical system and basic tactical execution ability.After all, there is a big difference between what the domestic backhunters learned and the Knicks' playbook.

During the team's training during this period, Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng were always pulled aside by the assistant coach alone for basic training and tactical explanations. Only when the team practiced tactics together would they cooperate with the team in training.Of course, the two of them hardly get a chance to make a move. Now there are three superstars in the team, Chauncey Billups, Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. There are main substitutes with many years of experience in the league. It is estimated that even if all substitutes are on the field, they will not have a chance.This is a very real thing.

The most troublesome thing for Lin Fengzhe is that as a defender, his level of running without the ball needs to be improved, and it is this kind of running practice that makes him feel so depressed that he is about to vomit blood.Lin Fengzhe felt that it was a very idiotic thing for a person to run irregularly on half of the court according to the route given by the assistant coach, especially when everyone else was sitting on the sidelines to rest, which made him feel like an idiot. Fools are performing clumsily, and the people on the sidelines are bored spectators.

Fortunately, Lin Fengzhe's IQ is very high, and his golf quotient is also very high. With a strong comprehension ability, he quickly grasped what the assistant coach taught, and he did it well, which made the coach who taught him excited The most amazing thing is that this seemingly thin player can draw inferences from one instance, and even say some unreasonable running routes in the tactics.

Of course, rookies will always be bullied in various ways, and Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng can't escape this unspoken rule, always helping old players with their bags or shopping.Fortunately, the two masters practiced martial arts for many years, and at the same time, the cultivation of mind was honed by the two masters, so they both accepted it silently.Lin Fengzhe comforted himself, "I think Yao Ming did such a thing back then, but he was unavoidable to be the No. [-] pick in the draft, and he is a non-draft player, so it's okay to do these things.

On March 107, when the team played against the Hornets at home and won a big victory with a score of 88 to [-], of course our two protagonists still did not get the chance to play.After everyone took a shower, the team's starting shooting guard Sean Williams asked Lin Fengzhe to get him a bag as usual. At this time, Lin Fengzhe had already left the arena, and he had to return to the stadium after receiving the call. arena.

When Lin Fengzhe helped Sean Williams take the bag to the parking lot, he said that his car keys were left in the locker room and asked Lin Fengzhe to pick them up.Lin Fengzhe was a little unhappy. He was obviously playing himself, but he suppressed his anger and turned around and walked towards the arena. After walking a few steps, he heard Sean Williams and backup guard Tony Douglas say: "See, I can play with this yellow-skinned monkey as much as I want. They are really stupid guys. People like them can only be played with."

In fact, racial discrimination still exists in the United States today. In many cases, yellow-skinned Asians suffer far more discrimination than blacks.When the blacks were discriminated against by the whites, they turned their attention to the yellow race.

Lin Fengzhe's already suppressed anger could no longer be suppressed when he heard these words, and jumped out of Tianling Gai.Suddenly turned around and walked in front of Sean Williams, and looked at him fiercely, "If you have the guts, just say what you just said!"

Williams saw Lin Fengzhe's fierce choice of people, and his heart trembled, but looking at Lin Fengzhe, who was a little shorter and thinner than himself, he couldn't help mocking, "What's the matter? You yellow-skinned monkey, Any dissatisfaction?"

Douglas, who was standing next to him, also laughed. He didn't expect that this kid would dare to make trouble with Williams. As a newcomer, he dared to make trouble for an old man. He was really brave enough.

Lin Fengzhe laughed suddenly, "Of course it's nothing, what I want to say is..." Before he finished speaking, his right fist hit Williams in the stomach, "I just want to beat you up.

Sean Williams did not expect that Lin Fengzhe would sneak up on him. After being hit hard, Williams bent down with his only son in his arms, but immediately the head on the ground was hit by Lin Fengzhe's right knee.For a moment, Williams felt birds chasing the stars around his head and singing joyful songs.

Lin Fengzhe did not let go of Williams who had been beaten by continuous attacks. He grabbed Williams by the back collar with one hand, dragged him to the front of the car, and slammed him down on the car cover with a loud bang. The sound made Williams faint.

Tony Douglas looked at Lin Fengzhe who was about to walk over by himself, and took two steps back in horror, "What do you want to do! Don't you want to hang out in New York!"

Lin Fengzhe moved his wrist indifferently, "What do you think? Is it fun to play such a game? Huh?" Lin Fengzhe had a smile on his face, but no matter how you look at it, there was a feeling of ruthlessness.

"Don't come here, be careful I'm not polite to you!" Douglas was a little hoarse, and Lin Fengzhe's smiling face was not easy to be a devil in his eyes.

"Apologize, kid." Lin Fengzhe said very gently, as if coaxing a child again.

"I, I..." Douglas really wanted to be tough, but the cold-blooded way Lin Fengzhe taught Williams just now scared him.

"I told you to apologize!" Lin Fengzhe's eyes became colder and colder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Douglas finally couldn't bear the pressure and had to apologize to Lin Fengzhe.

"You have to learn to respect people in the future, you know? At least you have to learn to respect me!" Lin Fengzhe said coldly, "Otherwise the end will be miserable." After speaking, he turned and left gracefully.

This incident was not known by the media, and Lin Fengzhe was not punished within the team.The reason was quite simple, because the security guard was on duty that night. He copied a copy of the surveillance video and gave it to Lin Fengzhe. Lin Fengzhe blocked the mouths of the team executives with racial discrimination.Although racial discrimination is acceptable, it is a very serious matter to be exposed, so this matter has to be let go.

The advantage of this incident is that no one asked Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng to get bags and buy things, because Douglas told everyone what happened that night, and Williams is still at home because of a concussion.

On March [-], when the Knicks played against the Grizzlies at home, Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng appeared on the court for the first time.

Lin replaced Chauncey Billups with one minute and 30 seconds left in the first quarter, and became the No. a substitute.

After playing, Lin Fengzhe received the serve from Amare Stoudemire, quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and faced Tony Allen who was defending him from the three-point line, while observing the position of his teammates.

Tony Allen looked at this defensive target who had just entered the league, and didn't pay much attention to it. His eyes were fixed on the basketball, and he looked like he was ready to steal at any time.

Lin Fengzhe saw that Stoudemire, who had thrown away the defender, was found under the basket. He swayed left and right and directly passed the careless Tony Allen, entered the three-point line, and just passed the free throw line. The high one was thrown towards the basket, and Stoudemire jumped directly under the basket, grabbed the basketball in the air, and smashed it into the basket hard. After landing, he slammed his chest hard.

For a moment, Stoudemire had the feeling of accepting any pass when he was in the Suns, and he was quite comfortable.When returning to defense, he high-fived Lin Fengzhe and praised, "Hey! Dude, a beautiful pass, comparable to Nash!"

In the subsequent defense, Lin Fengzhe stole the ball from Tony Allen and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and made an easy layup, scored two points, and caught his opponent by surprise.

In this minute and a half, Lin Fengzhe scored two points, one assist and one steal, which is very efficient.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Fengzhe was put on the court by the coach because of his efficient performance just now, and he also put Li Yifeng on the aura, and replaced Stoudemire and other main players at the same time.

The Knicks finally won the game with a score of 115 to 98. Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng, who came off the bench, played 15 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. Lin Fengzhe scored [-] points, [-] assists and [-] steals. Two fouls, Li Yifeng had six points, five rebounds, one block and one foul.As substitutes for the first time, the performance of the two made the fans and coaching staff at the scene shine.

In the next 9.5 games, Lin Fengzhe played 3 times, averaging 0.9 points, 0.8 assists and [-] steals per game.Li Yifeng played ten times, averaging seven points, five rebounds and [-] blocks per game.

The Knicks' record this season is not very good, but they also entered the playoffs, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference.However, the opponent in the playoffs was the Celtics with the Big Three. In the end, they were tragically swept by a big score of 10 to 11, bidding farewell to the [-]-[-] season.

However, in the last game of the playoffs, Lin Fengzhe got 25 minutes of playing time due to the injury of Chauncey Billups.Because Tony Douglas and Rajon Rondo couldn't defend at all, and Tony Allen had to defend Ray Allen, Lin Fengzhe got a lot of time.

In the end, although he still lost to the Celtics, Lin Fengzhe scored a quasi-double-double with [-] points, [-] assists and [-] steals.It is eye-catching.

It's just that Li Yifeng is pitiful, he didn't get a chance to play in the playoffs, and he was extremely depressed.

For the Knicks, this is a failed season. It is really disappointing that the team still did not break into the second round of the playoffs with the Big Three.

After the end of the season, Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng also received bonuses from the team, 1 US dollars each.Then the two returned to Los Angeles to attend college classes and prepare for the exam.
