"Although Marbury is a starting point guard above the passing line, he has no potential at all. Lin has a great hope of becoming the league's future top point guard. The Knicks made such a decision very correctly. Even if Marbury's performance is better than Lin tonight's game, that doesn't mean anything. Lin only played the second game tonight." Before the game, Barkley of the TNT commentator station said.

"The New York media seems to see Lin always have a different perspective. They like to hype this kind of topic too much," Smith said.

"There's no way. Lin seems to have traffic. There are always people who want to write something about him. Kenny, let's guess whose team will win tonight." Barkley smiled.

"Do you want to make a bet? I'll give you a chance to avenge you," said Smith.

"No, no, no, since Yao, I have no longer involved in any bets related to Chinese people." Barkley shook his head decisively.

"Hahahaha, then I won't bet, it's boring." Kenny Smith clapped and laughed.

...........

The atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room before the game was great, with Richardson, Eddie Curry, David Lee and others talking and laughing around Lin Rui.

Lin Rui has already gotten along with players other than Randolph.

Most of the Knicks players don’t like Marbury, and they are willing to help Lin Rui fight Marbury.

Thomas also admires Lin Rui's high emotional intelligence. Lin Rui seems to have outstanding leadership abilities as the coach of the Summer League said.

Thomas quickly called everyone together and began to arrange the tactics and personnel arrangements for tonight.

The Timberwolves won the opening game, but it does not mean that they are strong.

On the contrary, the Timberwolves' strength is comparable to the Knicks last season, and after Garnett left, they also entered the reconstruction period.

Marbury and Jefferson are the biggest players in their team.

Lin Rui really understands Marbury's dissatisfaction. It is also a bad team environment. From the bustling New York to the icy and snowy Minnesota, anyone will be upset.

However, no matter how understanding is, Lin Rui will not show mercy.

"Dang, defeat the Timberwolves and become the MVP player tonight, reward Chris Paul's passing skills [steady pass]."

If you have a skill reward, you will be even more deadly now.

Soon, after the entrance ceremony, the game started.

Timberwolves starter: Marbury, Rashad Myerz, Gomez, Ratlev, Jefferson.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup is relatively short inside, with the highest being Jefferson 2.08 meters, which looks a little taller than Lin Rui.

Knicks starter: Lin Rui, Crawford, Richardson, David Lee, Eddie Curry.

Randolph was transferred to the bench by Thomas because of his fight with Lin Rui. Thomas needs to observe whether he is suitable for partnering with Lin Rui.

Both teams attach great importance to tonight's game. Marbury has already greeted his teammates in advance. He may have a lot of personal attacks in this game. I hope his teammates don't mind.

The teammates have nothing to say. Marbury is nicknamed "Lone Wolf", and it is common for the pass keys to break.

Does he usually pass the ball?

No!

I don't need to say it specifically, I know I won't pass the ball.

Not to mention that the Knicks players don’t like Marbury, the Timberwolves players don’t like it either.

Sports Illustrated announced the voting ranking of "Who is the player you least want to be a teammate with". Of the 190 NBA players participating in the voting, 22% chose Marbury, and he ranked first.

Marbury hopes to score more than 50 points on the Knicks tonight, so that the Knicks' management will regret sending him away, and then teach the arrogant No. 1 pick by the way.

Even though Lin Rui was the No. 1 pick and even though Lin Rui performed well in the last game, Marbury still didn't take Lin Rui seriously.

I am an All-Star player!

Marbury occasionally saw the banner "Mabury, we miss you!" in the venue, and he seemed even more excited.

There are always some perverts who like this kind of particularly annoying player.

Soon, the game began.

Jefferson and David Lee jump ball.

Eddie Curry is so fat that it is hard to expect him to jump.

Marbury and Lin Rui began to get stuck.

"Rookie, you will feel regret for your pre-match remarks, you know nothing about NBA." Marbury approached Lin Rui and began to attack Lin Rui with words.

"Shut your mouth." Lin Rui said.

"What did you say?"

"Shut up your mouth, do you want to emphasize it?"

At the beginning of the game, the two started to argue, and the referee signaled to postpone the jump.

"You all are quiet!" said the referee.

"It's him who said he's talking."

"I'm just teaching him some etiquette."

"Who are you?"

The referee directly separated the two.

"Kake!!!"

The scene was very strange and the fans were happy.

"Haha, Marbury really has no choice but to Lin Rui."

"Marbury is anxious, Lin Rui is very calm."

"Who will win if these two fight?"

"I support Lin Rui, after all, Lin Rui looks taller and stronger."

The competition reached its climax at the beginning.

"Follow them both." The referee said to the other two assistant referees.

The competition has begun.

Jefferson transferred the ball to Marbury.

The Timberwolves attacked with the ball.

Marbury is advancing very quickly. Marbury is now capable, but she has not yet been influenced by socialism and looks like a reckless young man.

Lin Rui was guarding Marbury, and Jefferson came up to cover and blocked Lin Rui.

Lin Rui wanted to go around but couldn't go around.

Marbury jumped on the free throw line.

Eddie Curry couldn't keep up with her footsteps, so she could only watch Marbury's jump shot.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc.

"Swish!"

2 to 0.

This attack took 7 seconds.

After scoring the goal, Marbury shot a provocative look at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui ignored Marbury.

One-on-one he has confidence in defending Marbury, but he needs his teammates to work hard when there is a pick-and-roll situation.

Marbury is obviously very familiar with every player in the Knicks. He is playing Eddie Curry can't defend this.

David Li Kuai serves Lin Rui, and Lin Rui dribbles through half the game.

Marbury tried to get Lin Rui's ball, but unfortunately, he failed.

Lin Rui's ball control ability cannot be cut off by Marbury's steal.

"Blow him!"

"Kick him hard on the ass."

Fans who supported Lin Rui shouted.

Marbury wants to play singles, but Lin Rui won't keep playing singles. What he wants is the team to win.

Richardson ran out of the gap with David Lee's cover in the bottom corner.

Lin Rui discovered his empty seat at the first time, but blocked Jefferson in the middle...

【Miscellaneous King】

Lin Rui passed Jefferson's crotch with a very long shot.

"Bang!"

The basketball accurately passed through Jefferson's crotch and bounced back into Richardson's hands.

"Wow!!"

The fans at the scene were immediately amazed by Lin Rui's pass.

Richardson himself also didn't expect that Lin Rui could still send this ball.

After receiving the ball, Richardson made a little adjustment and then made an open three-pointer.

Richardson's move was very comfortable!

"Swish!!"

The knife is falling!!

2 to 3.

After Richardson scored a goal, he made a celebrating gesture with Lin Rui.
Chapter completed!
