This Forward is Not Serious

There wasn't much reaction from the Lakers.

Supporters at the top of the arc must have the ability to shoot, otherwise they will create opportunities for teammates to be double-teamed.

The Lakers were playing at their own offensive pace. Bynum received a pass from Gasol under the basket and beat Stoudemire.

Stoudemire was still at a disadvantage in terms of size, and Bynum put the ball in.

3 to 4.

Unlike the last game, the Lakers were in obviously better shape at the start.

This is as expected from the outside world before the game. It will be just as difficult for the Suns to win G2 as it is in G1.

Lin Ying continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and the Lakers' defensive focus was still on preventing the Suns' off-ball pick-and-roll.

Not only Butler and Stoudemire, but also Richardson's pick-and-roll reverse run for Nash.

Although they haven't played as many times as the Spurs, they have played against this Suns quite a lot.

But what Lin Ying did next began to surprise them.

Lin Ying made another three-pointer!

Moreover, the rhythm of his shots is very consistent, even very fast, and he is completely prepared.

"Dang!"

Although, this time I didn't make a shot.

But Stoudemire regained the court, used his excellent offensive rebounding ability to grab offensive rebounds, and the strong attack caused Bynum's defensive foul!

Two free throws were made, and the goal was equal to a goal.

5 to 4.

Unlike what the outside world expected, the Suns were still in hot shape in the second game!

Fisher hit Nash again, this time a pull-up jumper with his own ball control.

The action still has no beauty at all, but it’s good again!

Looking at the opening performance of the Lakers role players, Kobe must have trained a lot of people in training yesterday!

5 to 6!

The Lakers took the lead again!

This alternately rising score was more intense than the previous game.

Of course, the fans at the scene still had no reaction.

In the last game, the Suns dominated the Lakers at the beginning and the Lakers won. If this stalemate continues, the Lakers tonight... may even win a big victory!

If you don't believe it, Barkley is already praising the Lakers' performance in the commentary box.

"The Lakers may not be the best team in history, but their ability to adjust must be the strongest. The Suns will soon be overwhelmed."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, there was a "swish" sound on the court, and Lin Ying hit another three-pointer!

At the beginning, Lin Ying shot three three-pointers in a row, and his shooting percentage was 2 of 3!

This has something to do with the Lakers' defensive strategy. Because it is mainly defensive tactics, Gasol shrinks to a position one step outside the free throw line, which can take into account both inside and outside.

But Lin Ying's decisiveness in shooting tonight exceeded their expectations, and with Lin Ying's three-point ability, he could directly defeat the Lakers if he defended like this.

Kobe finally caught the ball in the frontcourt and attacked once.

"Dang!"

Although there was a wave of Mamba Bemba in the opening game, he retreated quickly and did not allow the Suns' fast break to start.

When he returned to the defensive position, even with some reluctance, Phil Jackson blew the whistle.

Gasol, guard out.

When he saw this scene, Gentry clenched his fist unconsciously.

The initiative, the Suns have the initiative!

Without Gasol at the free throw line, Nash's space for movement has obviously increased.

Lin Ying passed the ball, and he wandered to the free throw line and instantly attracted the Lakers to attack him, and then he started to show off.

A pass that looked like it was going to be passed to Stoudemire was moved through the air and passed to Butler in the bottom corner.

When Butler catches the ball, it's an open opportunity.

Butler didn't show any mercy, and the three-point shooter rose and fell.

11 to 6!

The Suns made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the opening game!

All said and done, the Suns' strongest point is the three-point shot.

As long as the three-point shot is completely open, no matter how strong the Lakers are, they can't resist it!

Phil Jackson touched the beard on his chin, then stood up and called Odom directly.

The reaction speed from the top 3 coaches, he has already noticed the Suns' tactical adjustments.

The Twin Towers have nothing to do with this kind of space-based play, so they can only replace Odom.

Odom's statistics in the first two rounds were average, but they were related to the strength gap between his opponents.

In the Western Conference Finals, they faced the Suns in a tough battle. In the first game, he scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, and performed well.

There was some unpleasantness between the two parties when he renewed his contract with the Lakers last summer. When he finally renewed his contract, he wanted to prove himself and played very focused.

He also made a contribution right from the start. After setting a pick-and-roll for Kobe, he received a return pass and hit a mid-range shot.

Of course, the more important thing is the defensive end.

Because of his flexibility, he doesn't have to be so forward when guarding against Lin Ying, and he can also take into account Nash's roaming.

It can be seen from this that compared to Bynum, Odom's status and role in this Lakers are obviously much higher, and he is truly the third leader.

There were no good opportunities at the top of the key, so Lin Ying didn't stick to his tactics. He gave the ball to Nash and then dropped to the low post.

What is initiative? It’s me who decides how to fight!

There is nothing wrong with Phil Jackson's hand adjustment.

But replacing Bynum means that the twin towers are gone, and Lin Ying has room to play in the low post.

Of course, as mentioned before, Odom is in good shape now, and it is not easy for Lin Ying to take advantage from the low position.

But you have to try everything to find out.

After Lin Ying moved to the low position, he had already given clear body language with his back to Odom.

After Nash mobilized his teammates to open up space, he then knocked the ball in.

One-on-one in the low post.

Lin Ying was very confident.

Because when he was fighting for position just now, Odom handed over the position without much resistance.

It seems no different from before.

In the past, he felt that Odom had more of a concentration problem, but now it seems that he is not good at confrontation.

This became even more obvious after he caught the ball and started playing with his back.

When he exerts force, Odom will inevitably be pushed back.

This seems a little strange. After all, Odom has an advantage in height and weight, but he is at an absolute disadvantage in a confrontation.

But fighting against this thing is more than just height and weight. After being trained by Grover, Lin Ying's muscle strength is much stronger than that of an addict like Odom.

After using his big butt to get past Odom's defense, Lin Ying turned and hooked toward the free throw line.

"Uh-huh!"

What a soft touch!

Odom's defense was very helpless. Originally, his advantage was flexibility and he was a good helper in defense. However, this kind of low-level single defense was relatively weak. However, Lin Ying grabbed him with a big ass and a hook. Hit the weak spot.

You are not a son of man!

Kobe quickly responded on the offensive end with a beautiful breakthrough against a jump shot, which not only scored but also caused Richardson's hitter.

After Kobe made the extra free throw, the score on the court was 13 to 11.

The Suns still led, but the Lakers held on.

Then, with Kobe's shouts, Odom took the initiative to fight against Lin Ying and went to the low post to prevent Lin Ying from being comfortable.

Lin Ying turned around without the ball and walked towards the basket.

Barkley taught me back then, if you want that position, I will give it to you!

Nash had already figured it out and threw the ball into the air. Lin Ying jumped into the air and got the ball.

However, Gasol reached the basket and stood still with his hands raised. Lin Ying's dunk had a certain chance of flying.

Lin Ying did not directly alley-oop, but knocked the ball to the ground next to Gasol with one hand while falling.

The ball seemed to have a head and got into Stoudemire's hands.

Huashan! I want Huashan!

"Bang!"

With a tearing cry, Stoudemire poured the ball directly into the basket!

It looked like Lin Ying's singles tactic, but the Suns still pulled it off!

The Suns have evolved again!

It can even be said that from this moment on, Lin Ying has perfectly integrated his singles game into the Suns system!

Phil Jackson frowned deeply.

What he saw was a little different from what others saw.

The so-called solar system, in his eyes, is something simpler: Nash's personal ability.

Because of Nash's powerful scoring and passing abilities, opponents often lose sight of one thing when defending him.

Coupled with Nash's excellent speed, it is simply a nightmare for defenders.

Harden will play in a similar way in the future, but the emphasis is not on speed, but on confrontation.

The current Lin Ying is actually similar!

His outside shots are accurate enough, his low post play is stable enough, and he passes the ball faster.

These characteristics determine that he will become a tactical core like Nash.

And Nash Linying, every move and silence, it is difficult for the Lakers to suppress him.

Phil Jackson stood up and whistled this time.

The Lakers are starting to compete with the Suns!

…

Under Xijue City, yellow sand rose up again.

Fang Tian's painted halberd struck down with a cold light, only to see the Qinglong Yanyue Sword coming towards him.

"Qiang!"

A soft sound.

The eight-foot-long snake spear was thrust straight at the vital point.

The mace arrived on horseback and Kankan blocked the tip of the spear.

The two swords held a sword flower and held the halberd that joined the battle group.

A strong wind blew by, blowing away the yellow sand.

I saw Kobe, Lin Ying, Gasol, Odom, Nash, and Stoudemire all fighting together, and it was impossible to tell which side had the advantage.

…

Different process, same ending.

After another fierce battle in four quarters, the two sides ended up tied before the end.

Only this time, the ball belongs to the Suns!

Things are changing.

"Lin, you take the final shot."

During the timeout, Gentry made final tactical arrangements.

This is also the first time in Lin Ying's career that he has been assigned to execute a winning goal.

Although we have had the experience of winning in the playoffs in the past two years, once it was a tip-in and once it was a takeover, they were not tactical arrangements.

Now, he will hold the ball for a kill, which has a different meaning.

However, this is not because Gentry treats him differently, but because he earned it with his own performance.

He has scored 35 points in tonight's game, the highest score in the game, and his efficiency is also very high on 12 of 21 shots.

The timeout ended, and Lin Ying took a deep breath before going on the court.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous at this time.

The Suns successfully sent a sideline ball in the frontcourt. Lin Ying received the ball from a high position and everyone else was pulled away.

Because the attack time is only 6 seconds, it is unrealistic for him to catch the ball in the low post and play behind him. He can only attack with the ball from the high post.

It was Kobe who was guarding him, because he was worried that his pass would not be able to hit him, so this ball was a one-on-one life-or-death ball.

Lin Ying chose to attack from behind the frame.

His idea is to get as close to the basket as possible and then use his height advantage to complete the shot.

The idea was correct, but Kobe kept putting pressure on confrontations and cuts, and in the end he didn't get much closer to the basket when he took the shot.

The greater pressure is the seconds counted by the surrounding fans. The sound is different from the real time.

He can also fully understand why it is so difficult to win with the ball. The pressure is so high that it makes people breathless.

He finally turned around and shot backward, which caused a lot of interference to Kobe.

The ball almost passed Kobe's fingertips, and the red light on the sidelines was already on.

There was an inexplicable silence on the scene.

Lin Ying looked at the basketball with backspin in the air, thinking silently that he must score.

Because this ball is not only the arrangement of Gentry, but also the trust of Nash, Stoudemire and the Suns teammates in him.

The ball was falling, and it looked noticeably shorter because of the heavy interference.

"Dang!"

The ball finally hit the front of the basket.

Lin Ying's first career shot with the ball ended in failure!

The moment the ball hit the basket, Lin Ying felt his heart tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sense of loss swept over me like a whirlpool.

After not knowing how to return to the bench, he said to his teammates:

"sorry."

If he chooses to face the frame, he might be able to complete the buzzer-beating game. The Suns have already won this game.

"Lin, don't blame yourself. No one can hit the kill on the first try. Michael can't do it either. You are already very close."

Hill patted him on the shoulder.

"Without you we wouldn't have had that opportunity, relax, we still have overtime."

Nash also spoke.

Lin Ying nodded after hearing this.

His mentality fluctuated greatly because of the failure of the final shot, but it was true that the outcome of the game was still undecided.

Rather than blaming yourself, winning overtime is more important.

After a short break, the two sides will enter five minutes of overtime.

The Suns players reappeared after shouting slogans.

Lin Ying was particularly calm now.

Just think, there are still five minutes left in the game!

Gasol jumped to get the ball for the Lakers, and overtime began quickly.

However, after playing for almost two minutes, both sides failed to score a point.

One is that it takes a lot of physical energy, and the other is that they are all fighting for defense.

Every goal scored in overtime could determine the outcome of the game.

"Dang!"

Butler's three-point shot from the outside missed the basket again.

At this time, it is no longer a question of whether the psychological quality is strong or not.

But at this moment, a figure stood up from the ground, grabbed the basketball in the air and pushed it into the basket!

Lin Ying!

Gasol was right under the basket, and this action shocked all the players on the court!

This is to dunk Gasol!

crazy!

Gasol also hardened up after seeing it, and stretched out his hand to block it.

The two faced a direct physical confrontation.

Grover's special training gave Lin Ying stronger core strength, and he gained the upper hand!

"Bang!"

The ball was finally hit into the basket!

The sister-in-law tried her best to resist, but she still couldn't stop Lin Ying's penetration!

The entire Staples Center was silent.

They looked at Lin Ying like they were looking at monsters.

This guy actually did it?

And he can still dance so well in overtime? !

The key is Lin Ying's calm expression after dunking, which makes people feel that what just happened is so unreal.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Suns got a 2-point lead!

These two points are crucial!

Kobe directly controlled the ball in the backcourt and advanced, indicating that he would pull away and then directly hit Allen alone.

Lin Ying quickly assisted in defense.

Kobe stuffed the ball in the air toward Odom, who was cutting to the basket.

Odom's flying layup.

"boom!"

Got chased by Stoudemire!

It's not that easy to score!

But Gasol reached the basket at this time and reached out to get the rebound.

Then he grabbed the ball with one hand before it hit the backboard.

It’s still Lin Ying!

One second he was helping to defend Kobe, and the next second he had retreated to the basket!

When their eyes met, Gasol saw unprecedented concentration in Lin Ying's eyes.

Lin Ying wants to win!

The Suns launched a defensive counterattack, and Nash assisted Butler for a layup!

The Suns extended their lead to 4 points!

The Lakers called a timeout!

At this time, there are only 2 minutes left before the end of overtime!

When he came off the court, Kobe couldn't help but look at Lin Ying twice.

Lin Ying just missed the buzzer beater, but his performance was still so active in overtime.

He can feel that this little guy has grown again, and this kind of psychological growth is more rare than the growth in strength!

Failure to kill is not all bad.

After the timeout, Kobe held the ball again. This time his attack was closer to the outside, a bit like the game-winner.

Allen put enough pressure on him, and his final shot drifted in the air.

"Uh-huh!"

But in the end, he still threw the ball in!

Strong psychological quality and invincible personal ability!

If this goal is the last second, it will be another buzzer beater.

The point difference is reduced to one goal, and the outcome is still unpredictable!

Lin Ying set a pick-and-roll for Nash in the frontcourt, received Nash's return pass... and pulled it directly from the three-point line!

He is no longer satisfied with hitting the basket!

The choice of this ball was sudden and bold enough. Odom obviously didn't expect it. He pounced on it a little late.

The ball flew over Odom's head toward the basket, and the fans at the scene were breathing loudly.

If they score a three-pointer at this time, the morale of the Lakers may collapse directly!

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Lin Ying's three-pointer passed through the net!

The scene was agitated!

The game-killing three-pointer!

Phil Jackson didn't call a timeout!

The Lakers players on the court were obviously a little panicked.

After Kobe reached the frontcourt, he picked up and shot from outside.

"Dang!"

This ball was obviously intended to be an answer ball, but Allen's excellent pick-and-roll ability gave Kobe enough interference, and the basketball hit the basket!

It was Lin Ying again, leaping high from the crowd and pocketing the defensive rebound!

The balance of victory has begun to tilt toward the Suns!

And looking back, Lin Ying held the ball in a high position and directly attacked Odom with determination in his eyes!

Odom continued to fight against Lin Ying, and his chest was hit with pain.

In the end, when Lin Ying took action, he committed a defensive foul!

Lin Ying, get to the free throw line again!

There were constant boos at the scene, but compared with before, it was obvious that the confidence was lacking at this time.

Trailing by 5 points and more than a minute, as long as Lin Ying makes both free throws, the game will basically be over.

Lin Ying took a deep breath.

His heart became calm again, but his eyes were more determined than ever.

If you fail to seize the chance of a decisive victory, then...win the game with your own hands!

"Uh-huh!"

The first free throw was a solid hit.

"Uh-huh!"

The second penalty was still hollow!

Lin Ying made two free throws again!

Phil Jackson called the final timeout.

The scene was in a state of agitation, and the faces of the fans could not stop the look of despair.

After the timeout, the Lakers began to bet on outside three-pointers, but Gentry did a good job in targeting the Lakers' outside three-pointers.

Although Gasol went crazy and grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds, the Lakers were blocked from outside and couldn't make a shot.

In the end, there was not enough time and Gasol scored two points, but it was meaningless!

"beep!"

The final whistle sounded, and the score on the field was finally fixed at 121 to 116.

The Suns relied on a 7-2 victory in overtime to defeat the Lakers and win their first victory in the Western Conference Finals!

At the end of the game, Xiaosi rushed to Lin Ying and shouted.

Lin Ying scored a career-high 42 points tonight!

He almost single-handedly helped the Suns win the game!

Lin Ying couldn't help but yelled at Xiao Si.

The previous kill failed, and G1 was killed. All the negative emotions were vented in this roar.

Revenge, no matter how long it takes!
