BXBX NOVEL Chapter 493: Interested in a match
But now, after defeating the Bulls again and proving his strength, James feels a lot more comfortable.
"Congratulations, LeBron, you won a big victory in the opening game. It seems that the Heat are still one of the strongest championship teams this season, but,"
The previous praise was very useful to James, but a turning point made James feel a little nervous.
"However, Sickle scored a triple-double of 43 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists at Madison Square Garden. Moreover, they defeated the Dallas Mavericks, also known as a super team, and made a good start."
"What do you think of Sickle\'s performance in the Christmas game? Do you think you can win this season\'s MVP from Sickle?"
After hearing Lian Dao\'s data, the smile on James\' face disappeared.
Facing the Super Mavericks in the first game, they scored a 40+ triple-double. Even the Heat dare not say that they can win against the Mavericks.
The inside twin towers composed of Nowitzki and Yao Ming are too threatening to players who like to finish at the basket, let alone be able to hit 40+ triple-doubles.
I just got 35+10 here, but Lian Dao got a 40+ triple-double. It seems that the opponent wants to defend the MVP.
"He\'s doing great, but it\'s just the beginning of the season isn\'t it?"
James\' good mood was completely ruined. At this time, he no longer had the idea of staying for an interview, but left the court directly.
To be honest, James is also a little anxious now. He has not had a championship so far. If he is crushed by Lian Dao again in terms of honor, he will probably live in the shadow of Lian Dao forever.
In the Christmas game, although the Heat won the ball, but Lian Dao\'s pursuit made James feel the pressure on his face.
James has won two regular season MVPs so far, and he has won them for two consecutive seasons. For any player, this is a remarkable achievement.
Kobe is great enough, but so far, he has only won the regular season MVP once.
But if Lian Dao wins the regular season MVP again this season, it means that Lian Dao completely crushes the current James in terms of honor.
So the two most serious things before James: to win the championship and win this season\'s regular season MVP.
However, the fact is that Lian Dao didn\'t think about the MVP of the regular season at all.
The Knicks\' new season has not yet started, Gallinari was injured and reimbursed for half the season, now what Lian Dao only wants is that they can stay healthy and get the top four rankings in the Eastern Conference.
The reason why he played so aggressively in the opening match was because it was his proposal battle. He lost just after completing the proposal. Lian Dao could still think of the headline in the media the next day: "Proud in love, frustrated in court!"
Lian Dao doesn\'t want to be the laughing stock of the alliance!
Moreover, with Gallinari\'s injury, Lian Dao had to put in more energy on the offensive end.
…
The regular season is still in full swing, and the Knicks\' management is still actively looking for a substitute.

The schedule is too tight. Holiday’s substitute, Tony Douglas, suffered a sprained ankle in three consecutive away games against the Kings of Saramento. Fortunately, the situation is not particularly serious, but there will still be about two to three weeks of games missing. .
Therefore, the reality before the Knicks is that the depth of the rotation must be increased to ensure the health of the players.
Among the players currently in contact with, there is a Chinese player who caught D\'Antoni\'s attention: Jeremy Lin!
Jeremy Lin\'s speed and athleticism are unbelievable. D\'Antoni was especially impressed by Jeremy Lin\'s speed.
According to the data during the physical test at that time, Jeremy Lin\'s starting speed was 22.42 km/h, while Wall\'s was 21.32 km/h.
Wall was the No. 1 pick in the 10th session, and Jeremy Lin was the 10th draft pick.
Skilled in ball control, not afraid of physical confrontation and daring to make fouls during fast breaks, able to use his body to score the ball. Also has good awareness off the ball.
He knows how to use the pick-and-roll to enter the interior. On the defensive end, his lateral speed and wingspan are good, and he can stand up and play a role at critical moments.
Looking at these advantages of Jeremy Lin, D\'Antoni was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that such a player is not a first-round lottery pick, at least at the end of the first round and early in the second round.
But then D\'Antoni discovered Jeremy Lin\'s flaws.
Jeremy Lin has not had a good positioning since college, and playing point guard at Harvard is only the team\'s need.
He\'s not a very good playmaker, dribbling too high and sometimes being intercepted. Rarely shoots mid-range, 3-pointer is okay but not a pure shooter. Although the first step is fast, the singles ability is very average.
Jeremy Lin often showed a lack of confidence during the trial training and confrontation games, and would pass on opportunities when he was open.
And he hasn\'t played in a high-level league and lacks experience in big games.
The advantages are obvious, but the disadvantages are also very significant.
Just when D\'Antoni was thinking about whether to keep him, Lian Dao saw Jeremy Lin. When he suggested to Downey before, he forgot Jeremy Lin. It was also because the Knicks did not lack players at the No. 1 position.
"Mike, keep him. I\'m quite optimistic about him. He just lacks the opportunity to prove himself."
Lian Dao said to D\'Antoni.
When D\'Antoni saw Lian Dao speak, he nodded in agreement.
D\'Antoni is not going to disagree with Lian Dao because of a substitute player.
Now the Knicks only have 12 people, they still have room to sign 2-3 players, and D\'Antoni\'s impression of Jeremy Lin is also very good.
"That\'s exactly what I mean. I\'ll go to Downey first."
D\'Antoni walked towards the general manager\'s office as he spoke.
And Lian Dao went to the training ground.
"How about it, are you interested in a confrontation match?" Lian Dao said to Jeremy Lin in Chinese.
Although Jeremy Lin\'s Mandarin is not good, he can still understand Chinese.
Especially when Jeremy Lin heard that he was familiar with Chinese, Jeremy Lin was taken aback.
"There are not many players in the NBA who can speak Chinese, and the Knicks only..."
Jeremy Lin suddenly thought of someone, turned around in surprise, and found that it was indeed Lian Dao.

"Lian Dao, it\'s really you. I\'m so happy to see you. Can you sign me?"
Jeremy Lin felt like a star chasing boy at this moment, looking at Lian Dao expectantly.
"Of course! Where is the sign?"
"Wait a minute, I\'m going to get something!"
With that said, Jeremy Lin ran all the way to the side bench, opened the backpack on the floor, took out a pair of brand new "LD-2" from it, and took out a marker pen.
Lian Dao never thought that Jeremy Lin would be his fan in this life.
After taking the marker pen, Lian Dao wrote his signature in Chinese and English on the blank space of the sneakers.
"It\'s great, Lian Dao, you are the pride of all Chinese Americans, and I have always regarded you as a role model!"
Jeremy Lin saw Lian Dao signed, which made him even more excited, and carefully put the ball into the backpack.
"Then have you ever thought that one day can become a role model for others?"
Lian Dao asked with a smile, you must know that Jeremy Lin\'s inspirational counterattack in the NBA in the previous life was regarded by many people as the driving force for progress, and even a large number of Chinese fans regard Jeremy Lin as a role model.

"Huh? But I..."
Jeremy Lin touched his head unconfidently.
"Be confident. You just lack the opportunity to prove yourself. By the way, you haven\'t answered my question yet. Are you interested in a match?"
Lian Dao asked again.
"Uh-huh!
"
Jeremy Lin nodded excitedly.
In the confrontation match, Lian Dao did not use 1V1, but was preparing to play a training match. He wanted to know Jeremy Lin\'s performance in the team.
Lian Dao compiled himself and Jeremy Lin into the bench lineup, and started a red-blue confrontation with the main lineup.
On the first ball, after Lian Dao attracted the defense, he passed the ball to Jeremy Lin who was open on the outside.
Holiday realized that he had missed someone, and secretly yelled "no", but turned to look, and found that Jeremy Lin hesitated, which gave Holiday time to return to defense.
And when he wanted to shoot again, he missed the best shot and could only pass the ball back to Lian Dao.
"Pay attention to seize the opportunity, if you dare not make a shot, what kind of basketball are you playing?"
Lian Dao chose to end the ball by himself, but he expressed dissatisfaction with Jeremy Lin\'s performance just now, and his tone was also very severe.
