The Knicks' lineup has changed certainly this season.

Starting: Lin Rui Tony Aaron Kovallandov Yao.

Substitutes: Curry, Danny Green, Tucker, Mirisic, Gasol Jr.

The main rotation is about 10 people, and there are some other marginal players.

As far as the personnel are concerned, the Knicks have been weakened to a certain extent compared to last season.

The media and fans believe that the Knicks will have problems during the rotation stage.

Stephen Curry may not be able to adapt to the NBA, and he cannot make up for Crawford's firepower support for the second team.

Some well-known media are hyping up because Lin Rui is dissatisfied with Crawford, Jordan Jr., Richardson and others.

This eventually triggered the emergence of transactions.

None of the parties involved said anything, but the media and the fans had a lot of fun discussions.

Seeing that the situation became more and more troubled, Crawford took the initiative to come out and said, "I enjoyed playing in New York. Lin is a great leader, and he is my eternal brother."

Jordan Jr. also said: "Lin is a good brother, you won't know how much I admire him."

Richardson expressed a similar idea.

Lin Rui is too famous, and any news that is stumbled on Lin Rui can produce different effects.

Of course, Lin Rui himself doesn't care about these news. He rarely responds positively. Lin Rui is more about taking care of his children at home.

After Lin Yuanxi was born, Li Feifei directly asked him to recognize Zeng Xiaoran as his godmother.

Zeng Xiaoran also likes this little guy very much.

In addition to his family, Lin Rui's attention is on basketball.

Lin Rui doesn't think that the Knicks lineup this season is worse than last season.

Lin Rui always believes that the Knicks are his team and his performance is the most critical.

Neither rookie Curry nor Crawford have the greatest impact on the record.

After the training camp started, the Knicks team was slowly recovering.

Two days later, D'Antoni took the initiative to find Lin Rui and wanted to communicate with him about the lineup and tactical settings of the new season.

Lin Rui is a privileged ball, and D'Antoni needs to communicate with Lin Rui first in tactical arrangements.

Lin Rui's status has been further improved compared to when the regular season started last season.

Lin Rui is now the number one player in the league.

"Lin, what kind of tactics do you want to play?" D'Antoni asked.

"Coach, just arrange it, I can do it, don't care too much about me." Lin Rui's attitude was very humble.

Lin Rui would not just make a move on with everything because he had privileges.

"Let's talk, don't mind too much. I haven't figured out how to fight yet." D'Antoni was not polite to Lin Rui.

"Ok, let me tell you what I think. We can increase the proportion of outside projection, increase the speed of offense and defense conversion, and reduce the tactics of low-level singles in the inside. The main function is to raise the pick-and-roll and do a good job of defense."

"We have enough shooters on the outside now, and we have guaranteed accuracy."

"How many three-pointers do you think we can make in each game?"

"35 to 45 times, Yao Dayi, Zach and Mark are all shooting skills and can try to develop three-pointers."

"Your idea is good. If our efficiency is maintained at an upper and middle level, then our offense can indeed be up to the next level."

Lin Rui's statement is not unacceptable to D'Antoni.

D'Antoni is good at playing and running, and attacking, and many of Lin Rui's ideas coincide with him.

Lin Rui's idea is to completely give up the strong offensive advantage of the inside and focus on the outside.

"Yes, now our offense and defense conversion pace will get faster and faster, and the requirements for projection will get higher and higher. This is the future trend." Lin Rui said very directly.

"I understand, it seems that Yao and Mark both need to lose weight, haha!"

"Let's talk about defense, what do you think?"

"We just need to play more unlimited defense replacements. We don't have many defensive weaknesses. We will have advantages against most teams inside. We just need to do a faster rotation..."

D'Antoni nodded frequently.

During the communication with Lin Rui, D'Antoni also got a lot of inspiration.

The Knicks' tactical system for the new season has quietly taken shape during this discussion.

There was no high-intensity training in the first week of training, but more to make everyone adapt to the intensity.

Starting from the second week, D'Antoni and his assistant team made plans for each player.

Lin Rui also gained 3 kilograms while resting at home, and he also needed to lose weight.

In the third week, the Knicks were conducting new tactical drills and inspecting some marginal players. The 15-man guarantee contracts need to be filled, and then the preseason will begin.

Before the first preseason starts.

The Knicks held a public media meeting for the new season.

The reporters filled the entire interview hall.

Lin Rui's influence can be imagined.

The media conference for the new season was supposed to be held long ago, but the Knicks waited until the other teams were held before they started.

"KaKaKa"

The camera kept aiming at Lin Rui to shoot.

The other Knicks players sat aside and didn't pay much attention. Obviously, the reporters were only interested in Lin Rui.

The old Knicks players are all used to such scenes, and the media like to pursue Lin Rui.

TNT's female reporter asked: "Lin, let's talk about your goals this season."

Lin Rui said: "There is only one goal to defend the title."

The reporter asked: "The Lakers introduced Ron Artest. It is said that he went to the Lakers to deal with you. What do you think?"

Lin Rui said: "I look forward to a contest with the Lakers."

The reporter then asked: "Tell me about the two new Knicks, Stephen Curry and Danny Green."

Lin Rui said: "They adapted to the game very quickly and were very smart. I believe they will contribute to the team soon."

Indeed, Curry and Danny Green performed well in the training match and were very adaptable to D'Antoni's system.

The reporter asked: "For you, is there any challenges in NBA now?"

Lin Rui said: "Of course, I want to create a dynasty, I want more championships and personal honors."

"There are executives of other teams who questioned that you have too much interference with the Knicks' management's work, and this is not the role that players should play in the role of the players."

Lin Rui said: "I can understand that these executives are sowing discord. Can they not be anonymous? Their team cannot beat us on the court. Now they want to use these methods. This is a disgusting thing for me."

The reporter asked: "Do you have anything to say to the fans in the new season?"

Lin Rui said: "Be prepared and enjoy the visual feast brought by the Knicks!"

The interviews on this media public day basically revolved around Lin Rui.

Curry and Danny Green also received some visit opportunities, but they did not have much influence.

"New season, the Knicks Super Battleship is coming!"

"Lin Rui shows his popularity, and the press conference hall is full."

"Everyone loves Lin Rui, and pursuing Lin Rui has become a fashion."

"Curry: Lin is my idol, I learned a lot by his side."

"The City Totem of Big Apple City - Lin Rui!"

"Lin Rui's goal in the new season is to defend the title!"

............

"Looking forward to the start of the new season!"

"Lin Rui is back!"

"I really want to watch Lin Rui's game!"

"After holding the championship, Lin Rui spoke with confidence."

"Lin Rui naturally showed a pussy feeling!"

"Why do I feel that Lin Rui doesn't look like a 21-year-old mature uncle, but a 30-year-old!"

"Haha, Lin Rui gives people a feeling of becoming more and more reliable and steady."

The second day of media public day.

The Knicks ushered in their first preseason game.

Ohiolahoma City Thunder challenged the Knicks away.

Although it was only a preseason, the Madison Garden Arena was still full of fans.
