The preseason schedule is very intensive, and they need to finish 7 preseason games within half a month.

Lin Rui did not play in every game, mainly playing 5 of them, and then averaged 26 minutes, and averaged 15 points, 8 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks per game.

It seems that Lin Rui's data is not good, and then the Knicks scored 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

Oden averaged 26 points and 11 rebounds per game in the preseason, while Durant averaged 31 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Compared with these two, the No. 1 pick Lin Rui looks to be at a full disadvantage.

"The number one pick is worse than the number two and number three."

"In the draft, the Knicks obviously made a mistake, and Lin Rui shouldn't be the first pick."

"Lin is excellent, but he shouldn't be selected in the first pick."

The media environment in New York was exposed when Lin Rui played in the preseason.

The media here can't wait to start criticizing the Knicks management's choice.

The media preconceived that the decisions Dolan and Thomas were always wrong.

Lin Rui has long been accustomed to such a media atmosphere, and is no wonder.

Of course, the Knicks fans are not all fools. The famous director Spike Lee said in a show: "When Lin Rui was on the court, the Knicks' offense was much smoother, and he also put the Knicks in the rhythm of victory on the court. The Knicks lost so many preseasons because the other Knicks played too badly. Except for Lin Rui, everyone else was just thinking about personal data and did not take the team's victory to heart. The opponent could easily deal with them."

Spike Lee's words did not receive support from the New York media. The media generally stated that Lin Rui still does not have the temperament of a leader and he needs better data to prove that he is better.

On October 27, the league opening game started.

The Knicks had no matches in October, and Lin Rui watched the Boston Celtics game at home.

The Boston Celtics, which formed the historic three giants, set off a free market this summer. No one expected that Garnett and Ray Allen would join the Celtics at the same time and form the historic three giants with Paul Pierce.

This season's Celtics have become the team with the highest bid to win the championship.

In the first opening game of the Celtics, the Celtics defeated the Orlando Magic 90-69 with a devastating momentum.

You know, having Howard's magic is not a weak team, but they can only score 69 points on the Celtics team!

The Celtics led by Garnett gave other teams a warning in the opening game.

This season, all teams who want to compete for the championship have to consider how to face such a Big Three.

Of course, competition with teams in the Eastern Conference is more direct. You will encounter them many times in the regular season, and it is difficult to avoid direct competition with them in the playoffs.

However, Lin Rui doesn't need to think so far.

What Lin Rui needs to do now is to work hard to win in the opening game.

The Knicks' opener opponent is the Cavaliers.

November 1st.

The well-prepared Cavaliers arrived in New York early to start their 2007-08 season.

The Cavaliers were the Eastern Conference champions last year. Logically speaking, the first game should be arranged for them at home.

But helpless, their home court was in Cleveland, and the league prefers to arrange the first showdown between the two in New York.

Lin Rui vs James, such a plot is also exciting enough.

Lin Rui has two templates for entering the league, one is the Magician and the other is James.

This is because Lin Rui and they both have tall bodies and excellent passing ability.

This makes them look a little similar.

...........

Lin Rui has communicated with head coach Isaiah Thomas this month with many tactical issues.

Lin Rui hopes to play the same mode as "one-star shot" and "super Rockets".

The Knicks need to increase the ratio of three-pointers and offensive at the basket. Lin Rui hopes to use his offensive deterrence to help outside players open up space.

Make the Knicks' offense more efficient.

Reduced Randolph, David Lee's relatively inefficient singles in the inside.

In addition, Crawford often makes a difficult shot after making a blind shot from the outside.

These are the reasons why the Knicks' preseason record is ugly.

Lin Rui's ideas are mature in all aspects. Isaiah Thomas thinks that if Lin Rui wants to play this mode, he will try to take a look.

The Knicks urgently need to make changes now.

The Smiling Assassin's status in the Knicks is firmly tied to Lin Rui. After all, Lin Rui is considered a player he personally selected.

His relationship with Lin Rui is relatively harmonious, which is why Lin Rui feels that he can try to convince the coach.

Lin Rui also did a great job in handling interpersonal relationships.

November 2.

On the day of the game.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Thomas did not arrange any high-intensity training in the morning, and he hoped that the players would have sufficient physical fitness to deal with the fierce battles at night.

Facing last season's Eastern Conference champion, the Knicks are at a disadvantage in all aspects.

New York fans and media don’t expect the Knicks, who were still a bad team last season, to pose too much threat to the Cavaliers after getting a No. 1 pick.

They are very open about the outcome of the victory tonight, and they just hope that the team will not lose too ugly.

In the afternoon, the Knicks took the bus and headed to the Madison Garden Arena.

Lin Rui brought big headphones and listened to Taylor Swift's new song.

Sitting by the car window, thinking about the passing scenery.

Lin Rui has long seen the prosperity of New York, and it is not worse than Los Angeles.

Manhattan, Wall Street, various Fortune 500 companies, and the logos of well-known companies are displayed on the roadside.

Times Square, Broadway, Chinatown, Columbia University, New York University.

Lin Rui looked at the iconic road signs passing by.

Suddenly at this moment, Lin Rui also had a new goal.

Lin Rui wants the people in this city to go crazy because of him!

He wants to conquer New York just like Michael Jordan conquers Chicago!

He wants to become the absolute superstar in New York!

Lin Rui hopes that the fans here will scream and shout when they hear his name in the future!

Before today, Lin Rui was a little confused about his future. He had short-term goals, but he did not establish long-term goals.

Now, Lin Rui has established his long-term goals.

The bus took a long way to get to the Madison Garden Arena.

At this time, a bunch of fans and media were surrounded by the stadium.

Lin Rui got off the car.

"Crack!"

The flash keeps flashing.

Even if the Knicks are a bad team, even if they have a poor record.

But this is New York!

The Knicks team will never lack attention.

Lin Rui was wearing Li Ning's sportswear version today, and his handsome appearance.

Lin Rui has a strong aura, and the media also like to take photos of Lin Rui.

This is also to another extent why the media likes to shoot Lin Rui’s gossip.

If other ugly NBA players were there, the media would not pay much attention or curiosity about their romantic affairs.

Fans and the media like to watch gossip stories like Lin Rui, Taylor Swift, and Scarlett.

Passing by the interview hall.

LeBron James is already in an interview.

Lin Rui's arrival instantly reduced the reporters around James by half.

After a while, the reporters around Lin Rui were almost the same as those around James.
