Chapter 280 Sun Dasheng, Crazier Than Lin Crazy
On January 14, the Warriors faced the New York Knicks at home.
Before the game started, in the Warriors locker room, Sun Yi, the team boss, was doing pre-game mobilization.
"Guys, this game tonight is a tough battle, don't take it lightly, show your strength and defeat your opponent!"
The other Warriors players immediately cheered up after hearing this, and their fighting spirit was aroused.
They didn't dare to disobey Sun Yi's orders. The last time he went against Sun Yi's wishes, Clark always suffered.
Kelai's experience in the past two days was so miserable that it made them all frightened. They were worried that they would be the next to suffer, so they really didn't dare to waste time.
Seeing that his teammates were in good competitive form, Sun Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Although it is a tough battle tonight, the Warriors have a high chance of winning.
Although the Knicks currently rank fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, their strength is only superficial.
At the beginning of the new season, new aid Paul was recuperating from injury and did not return early. Under the leadership of another core player Stoudemire, the Knicks played extremely poorly, starting with only 1 win and 4 losses.
achievements.
Just when Knicks fans thought that the only way to change the Knicks' status quo was to wait for Paul to come back, a miracle happened.
An unknown Asian kid suddenly became famous at Madison Square Garden.
Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni made a bold decision to rehabilitate Jeremy Lin, who had a non-guaranteed minimum salary contract.
It was this desperate gamble that caused the Knicks to undergo earth-shaking changes immediately.
Jeremy Lin seized the hard-won opportunity and performed a series of highlight performances one after another, living up to the expectations of the head coach.
Under Jeremy Lin's crazy outburst, the Knicks reversed their decline and posted a strong record of 7 wins and 1 loss.
Moreover, they had won 6 consecutive games before meeting the Warriors.
This winning streak not only boosted the morale of the Knicks, but also made Jeremy Lin famous throughout the United States, and was dubbed "Linsanity" by fans.
But Sun Yi knew that the Knicks' strength had not changed qualitatively. They were still strong on the inside but weak on the outside.
If the Knicks continue to encounter playoff-level teams during this period, no matter how Jeremy Lin breaks out, it will be difficult to win consistently.
Of course, Jeremy Lin can lead the injured Knicks back to the playoffs, and his performance is already good enough.
"In Oracle Arena, no matter how crazy Linsanity is, I have the final say!"
After Sun Yi finished the pre-game mobilization meeting, he led his teammates out of the locker room and walked toward the court in a mighty manner.
…
After a series of pre-game activities, the game officially started.
From the beginning, the Warriors targeted Jeremy Lin and restricted the Knicks' engine from the source.
In previous games, Jeremy Lin was able to perform explosively, mainly because other teams did not pay enough attention and make targeted defenses.
The Warriors will not make the mistakes of other teams. Regardless of the strength of their opponents, they will treat them equally and make adequate preparations before the game.
When Jeremy Lin was targeted on defense, his scoring efficiency did drop, and the Knicks' offense was hampered.
On the other hand, the Warriors' offense was smooth and smooth, and they often succeeded on the offensive end.
The Warriors have a lot of experience in dealing with teams like the Knicks that are strong offensively and weak defensively.
The Warriors guarded Jeremy Lin, but the Knicks couldn't guard Sun Yi.
During the offseason, Sun Yi made up for his weaknesses, became more comprehensive, and his strength increased significantly, reaching his peak.
Other teams did not expect that Sun Yi would improve so quickly. The targeted defensive tactics previously formulated were basically outdated and had no effect at all. In addition, this season's schedule is tight, and new defensive plans cannot be re-formulated in a short time.
This is undoubtedly good news for Sun Yi, who can do whatever he wants during this "sweet period" and kill everyone.
In this way, under the impact of Sun Yi, the Knicks' defense completely collapsed, and a collapse situation emerged.
The Warriors seized the opportunity and launched wave after wave of offensive climaxes, widening the point difference in one fell swoop and laying the foundation for victory in the game.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Knicks 134-107, winning 12 consecutive games.
In terms of statistics, Sun Yi scored a game-high 32 points, plus 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Curry also performed very well, scoring a double-double of 25 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 steal.
At this stage, the All-Star voting has begun. If the primary school student continues to perform like this, coupled with the popularity brought by Sun Yi, the probability of being selected as the All-Star starter is very high.
The Knicks' most outstanding player was Jeremy Lin, who scored 17 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
After the game, Sun Yi took the initiative to exchange a few words with Jeremy Lin, and then walked straight to the locker room without accepting interviews from the reporters on the sidelines.
Sun Yi believes that interviews are a waste of time, and he is not lacking in popularity. It is great to be able to squeeze out the extra time to train rookies.
Back in the locker room, Sun Yi couldn't wait to catch Kelai and went to the training hall for additional training.
The other Warriors players trembled when they saw this situation, fearing that one day they would fall into the hands of Boss Sun like Kelai.
Some young players immediately canceled their original plans to go to nightclubs and went home to rest.
Sun Yi's trick is very practical and wonderful to scare the monkeys!
…
After defeating the Knicks, the Warriors worked hard and united to defeat one opponent after another.
In the following games, they defeated the Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, Pistons, Nets, Nuggets, Kings, Hawks and Magic, raising their winning streak to 20 consecutive games.
The 20-game winning streak at the start has already broken the Warriors' record for the best start in team history, and also set a new NBA record of 15-game winning streak at the beginning set by the Mosaics.
…

Sun Yi once again won the Player of the Month award. His heart was numb and there was no fluctuation at all.
Isn’t this as simple as drinking water? What’s so exciting about it!
But Curry and others don't think so. Apart from being a little envious, they are more happy because they have another opportunity to take advantage of a big player.
Sun Yi was not stingy about this. With a wave of his hand, he generously stated that he would pay for all the expenses tonight!
The Warriors players knew about Sun Yi's family background and were not polite, eating, drinking and having fun as much as they wanted...
After the dinner, the Warriors ushered in a new month.
At this stage, the Warriors have won the first 20 consecutive games and still maintain their undefeated status.
