In the few games in October, plus the games in November, the Knicks' 15-1 record is the best in the league.
Even the Lakers played one less game and lost one more game in October and November, with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses, ranking second in the league.
Therefore, although the Knicks have overtaken the Lakers, their lead is very weak.
But in terms of player rankings, Lin Yu, who has also overtaken Kobe, has a huge lead.
Similar to last season, Kobe further reduced his shots for the sake of the team's record. Even his playing time was the lowest in his career except for two substitute seasons. He averaged 36.1 minutes per game, averaging 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists and
1.5 steals.
Obviously, with such data performance and lower playing time, other data are higher, especially the score, which is directly higher by a full 3.5 points. Lin Yu naturally surpassed Kobe without any suspense and became the No. 1 player ranking.
One person, and the lead is huge.
In the entire league, the only one who can compete with Lin Yu in terms of statistics is Wade, who has returned from injury this season and started to explode.
In November, Wade averaged 29.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. His scoring was lower than Lin Yu, but he had more assists and other statistics were similar.
But the playing time was as high as 37.5 minutes, which was a full 4.9 minutes longer than Lin Yu's 32.6 minutes.
In the words of Zach Lowe: "4.9 minutes, for a superstar player like Lin, is enough for him to complete all the data and lead Dwayne."
Not to mention, the Heat's combined record in October and November was only 8 wins and 9 losses. In terms of record, he and Lin Yu should not be compared together at all, because the records of the Knicks and the Heat are not on the same level.
.
And more media reporters, experts, and football commentators will mention one point when talking about the Knicks and Lin Yu's games and performance in the first full month of the season -
"Compared with last season, the Knicks' defense has made significant progress."
When looking closely at the reasons for progress, almost everyone mentioned Lin Yu.
"Lionel Hollins has made huge changes in his defense. Last season, after taking over the Knicks, his defense was to use two inside defenders from the mid-range to the penalty area. Through the expansion of the defense, he improved
The defensive intensity of a certain area ultimately improves the defense."
"But in the new season, he chose to put the center deep in the penalty area, and the mid-range sweep task was completely handed over to Lin Yu. Lin not only needs to be responsible for offensive scoring, but also needs to undertake severe defensive tasks. Therefore, he
His playing time was only 32.6 minutes, the least playing time among all star players in the league."
"Although the task was heavy, Lin's performance was perfect. He not only completed the defensive task perfectly, but it did not affect his performance on the offensive end."
"It can be said that in every game, he dominates both offense and defense. If this performance continues, we may even witness another miracle, a player who wins both MVP and Dpoy honors in one season!"
"The only two people in the history of the league who have done this are Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon!"
Lin Yu saw many similar reports, and he realized that if these reports continued, he would soon steal a meme that he had been working hard on for a long time——
"70% of the earth is covered by water, and the remaining 30% is covered by Lin Yu."
This somewhat classic meme has begun to appear on Reddit forums.
"If you look at the root cause, this meme should come from another sport, football's N'Golo Kante, so to be more precise, it's not stealing the meme, but creating the meme. I don't know what reward will be given..."
Lin Yuchang thought, it had been a long time since he had recorded anything.
I have been deliberately stealing Lin Ritian’s meme, but it seems that I can’t get it, because no one on Reddit knows the words Lin Ritian, and it seems difficult for domestic forums to take the initiative to compare Ritian and
The super long three-pointer connected together.
There is also the poisonous milk story. It seems that the time for poisoning the milk is too long, and the progress is very small. It can be said that there is almost no progress.
"Forget it, let's just steal it for now."
Lin Yu had been unable to get hold of Lin Ritian. Lin Yu felt that this meme had reached the stage where he had to intervene. He had to find a few trolls and go back to domestic forums to browse the related posts about "Lin Ritian".
Words.
Finally, because he needed feedback on the results, he could only remain patient.

In the first game in December, the Knicks faced the Trail Blazers. Lin Yu faced off against Brandon Roy. However, compared to Lin Yu, the young Roy was very young and was no match for him.
In this game, the Knicks won easily, and their winning streak reached 7 games.
But after this game, the Knicks were about to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the theme of Lin Yu vs. his old team was once again on the headlines of major media.
"The No. 1 in the East vs. the No. 2 in the East, the battle for No. 23 in the post-Jordan era, Zhan Lin battle, Lin Yu VS his old owner, Lin Yu vs. the Cavaliers' new shooting guard combination, Anthony Parker and Ben Gordon, he
What kind of performance will he show..."
Before the game, ESPN listed most of the highlights of this game in the first paragraph of their headline article, and added an article at the end: "After last season's playoffs, Lin returned to Cleveland for the first time and returned to Quicken Loans.
Arena…”
There are many highlights, which can be summed up as Lin Yu's return to Cleveland, which triggered a series of reactions.
Regarding this game, the media believed that the Knicks had a greater chance of winning. The Cavaliers, who lost to the Celtics due to a key goal in the opening game, performed well in the games after November and ended up with 14 wins.
With a record of 3 losses, they ranked second in the Eastern Conference.
The integration of Mo Williams and Al Harrington was very smooth, and the remaining players such as Ben Gordon and Dudley also performed even better.
In the words of Mark Stein: "Danny Ferry spent one summer completely turning the Cavaliers into LeBron James' team."
The entire Cavaliers were knitted together, and the excellent record after the opening game is understandable.
About to face the Cavaliers, who have performed satisfactorily after the opening game. Lin Yu said in an interview: "The Cavaliers' record is very good, but at the same time, their vitality is also very outstanding. We have clearly realized this.
, and are fully prepared, no team can stop us from winning consecutive games."
On the other side, the Cavaliers, LeBron James responded: "I have been waiting in Cleveland for a long time. We will not let the New Yorkers take away a victory from here. Lin? I want to say that I have a way to deal with him."
