This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 239 Take the initiative! You must take the initiative!

The Suns' opening touch was ridiculously accurate, but the Lakers' strength was ridiculously strong!

Lin Ying, who played against the Lakers last year, should have the most say.

The Lakers are obviously stronger than last year!

As he said before, after being pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Thunder, the Lakers have become a tightrope again.

The Suns' offensive continues unabated, and the Lakers are slowly finding their offensive feel.

Even though the Suns were in surprisingly good shape, they couldn't draw the opening score.

The game unknowingly reached the final attack.

The two teams were tied at 110, and the ball belonged to the Lakers.

After returning from the timeout, Kobe held the ball with his jersey between his teeth, and everyone else opened up the space.

The last ball.

Allen focused 120%.

Lin Ying was also ready to help defend at any time.

It is certain that Kobe has hit buzzer beaters, but his shooting percentage is not high.

When the Nuggets played against the Lakers before, Lin Ying experienced two Kobe Bryant kills, but failed without exception.

The winning goal is not that easy to score, especially in such an intense game.

Kobe launched an offense. His offensive method was very simple, a sudden stop and a jump shot.

This is not just a matter of simplicity, but after a whole game he has adapted to Allen's defensive style.

An overly complex offensive method would increase the risk of being cut by Allen, so he devoted the last of his energy to "speed."

Moreover, this choice directly avoids the possibility of being attacked by Lin Ying.

In the mid-range position, Kobe took a mid-range shot against Allen's defense.

Before the ball left the hand and reached its highest point, the red light on the sidelines had already turned on.

The Staples Center was inexplicably quiet.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

The ball went in and Kobe completed the buzzer beater!

The next second, Staples Center was overwhelmed by the cheers of fans.

Kobe also turned around and jumped up to "dodge" his teammates and ran to the sidelines, shaking his jersey wildly and cheering.

The Suns played completely beyond his expectations tonight, but the final victory was the final word. The victory tonight belongs to Los Angeles!

Lin Ying watched Kobe celebrating with a somewhat stunned expression.

It was also the first time that he experienced the feeling of having great expectations but ultimately failing.

In fact, not only Lin Ying, but most of the Suns team couldn't relax.

They played an almost perfect game and also showed their strongest desire to win the game.

But in the end they lost, which was a huge blow to their confidence in the game.

"It's just one game and we still have a chance."

At this moment, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind and said.

Lin Ying turned around and saw it was Nash.

Because he lost the most, he was the fastest to recover.

Lin Ying nodded.

Although he couldn't accept it in his heart, Nash was indeed right. This was just one game, and it was only the first game of the series.

And thinking about the worst, this game at least gave them a real sense of how strong the opponent they faced in the Western Conference Finals was.

After all, the opponent is a team that is almost a dynasty.

After the press conference, Lin Ying and Brook had something to eat together near the arena.

Brooke kept saying interesting things to make Lin Ying happy.

Lin Ying was a little absent-minded.

He was not frustrated, but was recalling the details of the game and trying to find out where he could continue to improve.

The first game is indeed just the first game, but if we return to Phoenix with a score of 0-2, the series will become extremely difficult.

But the more he thought about it, the harder it became.

The Suns' shooting percentage in G1 exceeded 50%, but they still couldn't win.

The media and fans' optimism is not because they underestimate the Suns, but because the Lakers are too strong.

Even the words Kobe said more than once kept ringing in his mind: "You can't win."

"Let's go to the training ground."

At this moment, Brooke's words brought him back to reality.

"sorry."

Lin Ying apologized, saying that you really shouldn't think about that when dating Brooke.

"I'm not angry. I understand how you feel now because I've had this experience before."

Brooke's expression was very serious,

"So I said go to the training ground and I'll go with you."

Lin Ying was startled.

He suddenly remembered the day Durant was eliminated by the Lakers, and he seemed to have told Durant the same thing.

Then Durant went to the arena to sweat, and he went to the hotel to control the ball with both hands.

The way of heaven is so reincarnated!

Lin Ying rented a venue, and Brooke sat on the sidelines and watched while he practiced on the court.

Brooke would applaud him from time to time, but more often than not she would look at him quietly with eyes full of love.

In fact, she really wanted to have a child with Lin Ying before.

But just after he finished speaking, he realized that Lin Ying was an Oriental and had different ideas from hers, so he finally gave up the idea.

What is an intimate big sister?

An hour later, Lin Ying was sweating profusely.

But he did feel a lot better.

The advice he gave Durant at the beginning was indeed quite effective...

And during training, he also thought of more details related to this series.

It is true that the Suns and Lakers tied 2-4, but people who have actually watched the game will not think that the Suns have a chance.

Because a very stark reality is that the two games the Suns won were actually very disgraceful.

A very eye-catching statistic is the number of free throws.

When the two teams were close on free throws, the Suns lost without exception. In the two home games they won, the Suns took more than twice the number of free throws as the Lakers!

Lakers 13, Suns 32;

The Lakers have 20 and the Suns have 42!

No matter how good the field control is, it will leave traces. These data show that the Suns did not have the ability to beat the Lakers at that time.

On the other hand, they are now playing a 50-50 matchup between the Suns and the Lakers. In the end, the Lakers relied on Kobe's buzzer-beater to win, forcing out the strongest Lakers.

So it's easy to draw a conclusion: They have the ability to beat the Lakers!

The key is whether they can do better.

Or could he do more.

"Where did you say you were going to go shopping?"

After sitting down, Lin Ying said with a smile.

"Santa Monica Beach."

After Brooke finished speaking, Lin Ying was startled again.

Santa Monica, Monica.

This is a place Durant definitely doesn't like to go.

Santa Monica Beach is one of the eight most famous beaches in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a coastal city with 300 days of sunshine a year. Although it is not as hot as Phoenix, the temperature is not low in May.

So there are already quite a lot of tourists on the beach this season.

Holding hands, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the purple Ferris wheel extending beyond the beach in the distance is actually a kind of visual enjoyment and spiritual relaxation.

Brooke probably suggested it during dinner because he knew Lin Ying was in a bad mood.

It's just that he was absent-minded at that time, so it was automatically filtered out by him.

Tired of walking, he sat down on a stool outside a wooden house. Brooke also massaged Lin Ying's shoulders.

Lin Ying couldn't help but look up at Brooke.

This time I was serious enough not to be attracted by anything else.

He suddenly felt the true meaning of love.

Perhaps as the book says, people who love each other are each other's harbor, allowing each other to dock when they are tired or encounter a storm.

"You are so beautiful."

Lin Ying said.

He didn't say thank you, because he found that he really liked Brooke at this moment.

Not because of the skin, but the heart.

Brooke blushed a little when Lin Ying said that.

She didn't say anything, she just hugged Lin Ying from behind.

Ahem, a little tight.

Before the training session started the next day, Lin Ying chatted with Nash for a while, and then he took the initiative to find Gentry.

"You said you wanted to admit more responsibility?"

Gentry was still surprised by Lin Ying's proposal.

But Lin Ying's next words gradually made him agree.

Taking on more responsibility means more dominating offense.

And letting Lin Ying dominate the offense means there will be more mismatched singles.

The advantage of this is that it allows the Suns to take the initiative in offense.

In previous Suns games, they used tactics first, and then the opponent's defensive strength increased and they couldn't make tactics anymore, so they started to attack Lin Ying.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this. After all, the Suns are strong in tactics.

But that's actually more passive, because the quality of your opponent's defense determines your attack style.

But on the other hand, if you use singles to force your opponent to focus on defense, then it is not just singles, but singles as the main focus, and tactics as a supplement.

For example, Lin Ying hit the ball in a misplaced position to attract help from the defense and then released it. When Nash got the ball, he faced the already disrupted defense.

The role he can play under that kind of defense is obviously greater.

Of course, doing this would definitely put Lin Ying under a lot of pressure.

Because if he cannot form enough pressure to contain the defense in the mismatch, it will easily become a one-man game.

What's even worse is that his isolation efficiency is not very high, and the Suns may lose more miserably than through tactics.

"I'll do that."

But in the end Gentry gave Lin Ying a positive answer.

Not for anything else, because he believed in Lin Ying.

This is not blindness, but the Suns would not be able to get here without Lin Ying in singles.

Of course, Lin Ying's attitude is also very important.

Take the initiative to come to him, in order to make the team play more proactively, there is nothing wrong with it!

Before the start of G2 in the Western Conference Finals, the conference semifinals in the Eastern Conference were finally completed.

The Celtics defeated the Hawks 4-3 in the end and successfully met the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Jazz in the West won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and the Eagles in the East were not far behind.

This series is also very interesting.

Last season, the Celtics stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals because of Garnett's injury. Now they have all the players in place and are strong.

The Cavaliers have added high-quality role players and their combat effectiveness is a bit ridiculous.

Therefore, although the Eastern Conference is a scenario where two heroes compete for hegemony, no matter which team comes out, it will not be like "picking peaches in the Western Conference".

Among the four teams from the East and West, whoever finally wins the championship this year must have won the championship through bloody battles.

The Eastern Conference Finals will start in two days, so fans' eyes are still on G2 in the Western Conference Finals.

The outside world's view of the series still hasn't changed much at this time.

Although the Lakers only narrowly won the G1 game with a buzzer-beater, everyone could see that the Lakers were lacking in preparation.

By the time G2 arrived, the Lakers were fully prepared, and it was difficult for the Suns to hit the same high shooting percentage as they did at the beginning of G1. It was not difficult for the Lakers to lead 2-0.

Oh no, there are some changes.

For example, Barkley, who had remained neutral after being asked to do so by a "petition" from Suns fans, also joined the Lakers camp at this time.

"When a team shoots 50 percent and can't win, then their opponent is unbeatable."

"The Los Angeles Lakers will defend their championship this season, and Kobe will build his dynasty after Shaq leaves!"

If I'm not allowed to support the Suns, I can always support the Lakers!

No one can deny the fact that Barkley is a Sun star.

Amid the excitement, the Suns and Lakers continued to play G2 in Los Angeles.

Brooke still hasn't returned to England yet, but is sitting in the front row of the auditorium dressed beautifully.

Before the game, she even gave Lin Ying a cheering gesture.

Lin Ying felt that a mysterious buff had been applied to him, and all abilities were increased by 20%.

The Suns players were in high spirits as they warmed up.

Because during yesterday's training session, Gentry not only made tactical adjustments, but also mobilized them again.

Like Lin Ying's suggestion, Gentry also always emphasized the word "active".

Still the classic example, you encounter a tiger in the wild.

The difference is that this tiger wants to eat you, and you have some tools in your hand.

If you run passively, there is no other possibility except being eaten.

But if you can use the tools well and take the initiative, you may still be eaten, but there is also a slight chance of killing the tiger.

Kobe also noticed the Suns' anomaly. He rarely called his teammates together during the warm-up to do some mobilization.

Although they don't know what the Suns will do, as long as they do themselves well and concentrate, they are not afraid of any opponent.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Neither side made any lineup adjustments.

At this time, the Suns' lack of lineup adjustments makes people more curious and makes the Lakers more vigilant.

"beep!"

The whistle blew, and G2 of the Western Conference Finals officially started.

This time it was Bynum who jumped to get the ball for the Lakers.

The Lakers attacked first, and their style of play and appearance remained unchanged.

But the different result is that Fisher's shot after the pick-and-roll went in!

A piece of good news for the Lakers, but bad news for the Suns.

The Suns quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Lin Ying passed the ball to Nash after picking up the ball.

This is the same as playing on the court, his support from the top of the key.

Even the pick-and-roll between Butler and Stoudemire is the same.

The difference was that Kobe took the initiative to make adjustments. Instead of helping to defend the inside, he decisively followed Butler.

"Uh-huh!"

But in the next second, there was a sound that penetrated the net.

The front of the camera showed Kobe chasing Butler, and when the cut came back, we saw Lin Ying's follow-up action when shooting.

Lin Ying, he shot a three-pointer at the beginning!
