This Forward is Not Serious

Rivers was dumbfounded.

In high-intensity games, it is rare for role players to break out.

This can be seen from the past two games of the Nets.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Nets' bench depth this season is the best in the league, but after two games, Billups only performed better in one.

But now, Yi Jianlian has stood up!

This may be the most inconspicuous starter for the Nets, but it gives Rivers the biggest problem!

Because in Sloan's tactical system, Yi Jianlian is the person responsible for pick-and-roll and then shooting.

But just this one shot, if you can make a shot, it is the biggest threat!

It's like a sword hanging over the Knicks' heads.

Bosh scored another jumper in the frontcourt.

Looking back, Lin Ying came out again without the ball, and the Knicks didn't dare to attack easily!

Because Yi Jianlian didn't just stand there waiting to catch the ball, but moved to play a small cooperation with Butler.

This small cooperation restrained the Knicks' defense. Lin Ying changed directions and broke through along the baseline to near the three-second zone.

Martin saw the interference and fought to save it.

Lin Ying turned around to avoid it, picked the basket lightly and sent the ball into the basket.

Not even halfway through the first quarter, Lin Ying has already scored 10 points!

And the key is that he hit all five of his opening shots without even taking a free throw!

"I have to admit that the Knicks did their best, but it turns out that Lin is now in an unstoppable state."

Miller sighed in the commentary box.

While they were talking, the Knicks missed a wave of offense and quickly retreated to their position.

This time, Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian played a two-man game in the frontcourt. Lin Ying broke through to the hinterland and was flanked. He chose to return the ball to Yi Jianlian.

Because Lin Ying has the ability to break through the flanking attack, the Knicks did not dare to attack incompletely, and Yi Jianlian once again got the opportunity to take action.

Then, Yi Jianlian's third shot... also went in!

Three consecutive three-pointers!

Lin Yi is online!

Xiao Linyi: So this is where my name comes from? !

Guda: Eastern Emperor and Western Emperor, you all don’t understand, I am in the atmosphere!

This time, the Knicks completely gave up the idea of ​​flanking Lin Ying!

…

After the first quarter, the Nets led the Knicks by 13 points, 45-32.

This quarter was a dream for both Lin Ying and the Nets.

Their shooting percentage exceeded 60%. Among them, Lin Ying made 10 of 14 shots in a single quarter and scored a playoff record. It was also a career-high 25 points in a single quarter.

In addition, Yi Jianlian also scored 11 points in a single quarter, including three consecutive three-pointers.

The outbreak of role players is accidental, but just in the game where it is needed most, Yi Jianlian broke out!

When Yi Jianlian was substituted, he received an excited welcome from his teammates.

This is the most glorious game of Yi Jianlian's career so far.

"They can't always maintain that state. They started chasing points in the second quarter and we tied the score before halftime. This is your home court. Release the beast in you and defend your home court!"

On the Knicks bench, Rivers guzzled chicken soup to his players.

Being pushed to the ground and rubbed for a while by the remnants of the Nets, they were really embarrassed and sent to their grandma's house.

"Up! Up! Up!"

Rivers had one last shoutout to his players before taking the field in the second quarter.

When all the players came on the field, he sat back on the bench, couldn't help but move his buttocks, and finally focused on the court.

Lin Ying was in great shape tonight, but he couldn't stay on the court forever.

Now is their best chance to chase points.

In the second quarter, the lineups of both sides came up.

Knicks:

Nets: Iverson, Butler, Kirilenko, Battier, Brand;

Knicks: Fisher, Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Landry, Bosh.

Bosh hit Brand in the low post and hit a fadeaway jumper.

Although by this season, Bosh has transformed into a kite man as he has in history, but he is still confident of defeating the aging Brand in the low post.

Rivers secretly clenched his fists when he saw this, then stood up and shouted to indicate the defensive position.

This is a good start. As long as the Nets' offense is prevented, narrowing the point difference is within easy reach.

The Nets' lineup has limited offensive capabilities, and they should defend it.

This is indeed the case. After playing two tactics in a row, the Nets didn't have any chance.

The ball finally returned to Butler's hands, and Butler missed Allen's layup.

The Knicks went on a fast break, and Cole scored on a fast break layup.

45 to 36!

In the blink of an eye, the Knicks have narrowed the point difference to single digits!

The moment the ball went in, Rivers waved his fist excitedly.

Knicks fans also burst into cheers at the scene, and many fans stood up and shouted excitedly.

Lin Ying is very strong? So what!

Does Yi Jianlian feel good? so what!

Basketball games are about the overall strength of the team, not individuals.

In just a few minutes, the Knicks will catch up with the score difference in one go!

"Defend! Defend!"

Driven by the on-site DJ, fans cheered overwhelmingly.

The Nets' offense still hasn't improved.

Butler gave the ball to Iverson this time, and everyone else opened up one after another.

In front of Iverson is his "old fish" Fisher.

Laoyu is really old now. He didn't play in the last game due to injury.

Of course, the same goes for Iverson. He is no longer the "answer" who could use his opponent as a stake. It was only after Deron was suspended that he got the opportunity to play.

Familiarly, Fisher saw Iverson habitually lifting his trousers.

It was at this moment that a sleeping gene in Iverson suddenly woke up.

At the moment Fisher mentioned, he started the breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

Fisher felt a gust of wind blowing in front of his eyes.

Even though many years have passed, you are still the familiar wooden stake!

In the eyes of the fans, Iverson passed Fisher in one step and made a pull-up jumper before the defense came up.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound.

Iverson's jump shot hits!

Familiar scene, as if nothing has changed.

On the Nets bench, Billups shook off the towel and was the first to get up.

Lin Ying also reached out and applauded.

Iverson didn't have many opportunities with the team this season, but he maintained a good mentality and performed very professionally.

Don't underestimate this. Without the bomb attribute in the locker room, Iverson can still exert energy sometimes even when he is old.

Like, now.

Bosh hit Brand again and missed. Landry grabbed an offensive rebound and was fouled by Battier.

Landry and Butler pulled up Shane Battier on the ground.

Although they each have their own masters, the time they spent together with Yao Ming allowed them to establish a good relationship with each other.

Then back to the defensive end, Landry assisted in the defense and slapped Battier's shot out of the court.

Although he has feelings, he will never show mercy!

The Nets' frontcourt sideline ball was running out of time to attack.

After the ball was released, it was in Iverson's hands.

At this time, the person defending him on the field has become Cole.

Rivers' reaction was quick.

Brand took the initiative to mention the outside pick-and-roll at this time, and Iverson used the pick-and-roll to open his hand and shoot a three-pointer.

The trajectory of the ball is very positive.

"Dang!"

Unfortunately, there was no luck and the ball hit the frame.

But just when everyone under the basket was about to fight for the rebound, a figure suddenly jumped up, grabbed the rebounding basketball in the air, and smashed it straight towards the basket!

"Bang!"

Butler's extra dunk!

Who knows how he achieved that wingspan!

Because he rushed too hard, he lost his balance after making up the dunk and almost fell out of the air.

There was a commotion in the place.

Rivers also reached out and slapped his forehead.

Iverson has one, Butler has one, and the Knicks not only failed to narrow the point difference, they were even stretched!

This has also become the epitome of this substitute transition period.

The Knicks' offensive status is actually not bad, but for the Nets, not just one person, but everyone can stand up and contribute.

Don’t doubt it, this is the leadership effect.

The Nets are like the cavalry of Rohan on the slopes outside Minas Tirith, the "White City."

At the foot of the hillside ahead, there was the Modo orc army that was several times larger than our own.

They were numerous, grinning, claws and fierce.

But when their king held the holy sword high and led the charge shouting "death", the so-called fear disappeared.

They just want to work hard now, just to win that possible victory!

More than four minutes into the second quarter, the score on the court was 55-40.

The Nets opened the point difference to 15 points!

Rivers' voice was hoarse, but he still couldn't stop the Nets' offensive.

By the end he was slumped on the bench, tired.

Fortunately, it has now reached the main rotation stage, and the starters from both sides have returned to the court one after another.

Rivers took a deep breath and set his sights on the court again.

As he said before, it is difficult for Lin Ying and the Nets to maintain the efficiency they had in the first quarter. The Knicks still have a chance.

Facts proved him right again.

Yi Jianlian came up to receive Lin Ying's pass from the outside and missed.

Martin protected the defensive rebound, the Knicks launched a fast break, and Wade's fast break layup scored two points.

The score difference between the two sides returned to 13 points again.

This made the Knicks double-team Lin Ying more determined, and Iverson failed to score a breakthrough layup.

The Knicks once again played a fast break, and the fans at the scene also reproduced the James-Williams connection. James received a high-throwing pass from Wade during the fast break and succeeded in an alley-oop.

The score difference came to 11 points!

Lin Ying was still quickly double-teamed after catching the ball, and even his shots missed when he hit hard.

Chandler's tip-in was also interfered with.

Landry protects the defensive rebound.

This time the Nets retreated faster and both sides got into position.

James scored suddenly, Wade got rid of Iverson after catching the ball, and made a difficult pull shot against Chandler's defense, which also caused Chandler to foul.

At this time, the mood in Madison Square Garden was completely ignited.

After the main players from both sides returned, the Knicks went on a 6-0 run, instantly reducing the point difference to single digits!

This section also reflects the strength gap on the court. The Nets' lead in the first quarter, and even widening the point difference in the second quarter, all depended on that tone.

This kind of energy will be consumed little by little as the game progresses.

Wade goes to the free throw line.

"Knicks! Knicks!"

The fans at the scene were chanting Knicks slogans with great momentum.

Lin Ying stood at the free throw line, looked up at the scoreboard, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Bosh and James on the opposite side.

Really, it still doesn’t work?

Nowitzki performed like crazy two years ago and led the team to the finals, but they still lost in the end.

It wasn't until Yao Ming joined that he succeeded in revenge.

This Knicks team is much better than the Heat team at the same time.

Is it true that he couldn't do it without Deron's help?

Yes, even if he was as strong as Jordan, he was still unable to break through the Pistons' blockade until he met Pippen and his helpers.

He really should give up this one and save his energy for the next one.

Yes, that's the most cost-effective way to do it.

This is not a decision made by Sloan, but the result of their efforts.

In this way, even if he loses, Sloan will not be criticized, and naturally there will be the hurdle that he is worried about.

A smart person should know how to weigh the pros and cons, and as a former analyst, he knows this better.

Stubborn or even foolish persistence may lead to nothing.

"Uh-huh!"

Wade hit the extra penalty.

The Knicks have reduced the point difference to 8 points.

At this rate, they will definitely have a different score before the end of this quarter.

Yi Jianlian's hand felt cold and he lost his fulcrum. Butler has not rested for a minute and is about to have physical problems.

The Nets can't stand it.

But, don’t give in!

After having such a great start, and after being determined to try his best in G6, how could he be willing to just give up like this!

No, it shouldn't be like this!

A voice burst out from the depths of Lin Ying's mind, sonorous and powerful.

Their opponents are very strong, but it is precisely because they are strong that it makes sense to defeat them.

Isn't that what he has always thought?

How can you choose to give up when you really encounter difficulties?

By the way, did Jordan succeed because he met Pippen?

Not really.

He met Grover, and under the latter's training, he developed a body of steel and iron.

Now, it took him more time, but he has reached the peak of his body in three years.

Jordan can do it, why can't he?

Jordan is called the God of Basketball by fans, but he is also a human being.

The Rohan cavalry dispersed the Orc army, and they saw the dawn of victory, but the dawn was blocked by the Haggadrim who came riding mammoths.

Then, did the Knights of Rohan give up?

Has the king of Rohan given up?

not at all!

He had people blow the horn of Rohan and launched a new round of charge towards the Mammoth Legion.

Maybe you won't win, but that's what you have to do.

At this moment, Lin Ying felt that his belief was stronger than ever.

He is human and will doubt himself even if he becomes much stronger.

But after doubting, his faith was reestablished, and it was stronger than before!

Butler sent the ball from the backcourt at this time, and Billups advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Lin Ying took advantage of Chandler's pick-and-roll to run forward.

It was at this time that that slow but familiar feeling appeared again.

After nearly a year, he once again entered the white-hot space!
