This Forward is Not Serious

This scene is so classic. The moment when Iverson straddled Tyronn Lue is still talked about by fans!

And there is a slight difference between the span just now and the previous one.

Because Bu Laiqie had the idea of ​​​​crossing Iverson before, but failed.

Now Iverson knocked him down and then succeeded in reverse straddling him!

The cheers at the scene did not subside for a long time.

Then Bu Laiqie went violently, turned over and pushed Iverson in the back.

Iverson was pushed to the ground.

The Nets players quickly gathered around.

The referee's urgent whistle sounded, and Bu Laiqie was whistled for a technical foul.

Because he was whistled once before, now he is directly expelled after accumulating two technical fouls!

The cheers were loud.

But this is not the end.

Iverson, who was pushed by Bulayche, was helped up.

Well, nothing happened at all.

If Butler is a physical monster, he is an iron man. Except for the leg injury that eventually led to his retirement, he has been "immune" to other common injuries.

What's more, he was actually mentally prepared just now, and he also had some performance elements in it.

After being helped up, he saw Bu Laiqie being expelled and made a move with a smile.

He put his hands behind his ears to signal the fans to cheer louder.

Listen!

He is very aware of his physical condition and this is destined to be his "last dance", so he can do whatever he wants!

At this moment, the cheers at the scene increased sharply.

This is no longer just DNA movement, but direct urine!

AI is still here!

Even the final bloom is still gorgeous!

This time, Kobe on the opposite bench felt like his pores were exploding.

It's hard not to remind him of the scene in the 2001 Finals.

At that time, Iverson single-handedly defeated the Lakers, who were led by him and O'Neal and had never lost in the previous series, in the first game of the Finals.

That was also the weakest game in his career so far.

Because he tried his best, but could only watch Iverson take away the game with an American hero-style performance.

And he and O'Neal have become the kind of big bosses in movies who are bound to be killed in the end.

So much so that after that, he admired Iverson extremely.

"People today have no idea how strong Iverson was."

This sentence, regarded as a classic by fans, is also based on that game.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he actually saw that figure again, and this all-too-familiar movement.

The next second, he stood up from the bench and walked to Phil Jackson's side.

"Phil, let me get on."

Jackson looked back at Kobe, saw the fighting spirit burning in Kobe's eyes, and nodded.

But just as Kobe was walking towards the technical table, in the opposite half, there was a person walking towards the technical table with the same steps.

In his eyes, there was no fighting spirit like Kobe's, but there was something more complicated.

There was still a live ball on the court, and two people sat under the technical table waiting for the dead ball.

"Are you in such a hurry to play? You are still far ahead."

Kobe smiled and said to Lin Ying beside him.

After Iverson made the layup just now, the Nets' lead had reached 7 points.

"We all know that AI will be 38 years old soon."

Lin Ying did not directly answer Kobe's words, but said something that sounded a bit inexplicable.

Kobe looked at him doubtfully.

"He can't charge the whole game like before, but this time is different. This time he doesn't need to do that because..."

When Lin Ying said this, he turned back and looked at the field.

"He's not fighting alone."

Kobe's smile froze and he looked at Lin Ying's side face, stunned for a long time.

"beep!"

At this moment, a whistle sounded on the court. Billups caused a defensive foul on Marion, and the game entered a dead ball.

Lin Ying came on to replace Battier, and Kobe Bryant came on to replace Bell.

Iverson turned around and clenched his fists when he saw Kobe Bryant coming on the court, but relaxed his fists when he saw Lin Ying.

Lin Ying came over and clapped his hands, then nodded and walked to the sidelines to prepare to serve.

Kobe came directly in front of Iverson. He came on the court to restrict Iverson.

Or the Nets' frontcourt.

The sideline ball came out, Billups caught the ball and made tactical gestures, and then gave the ball to Iverson.

The Nets played a two-man game.

But this time it's Iverson and Lin Ying.

Lin Ying blocked the ball and went directly to the basket.

Although Iverson's two goals that broke through Bulayche in front were beautiful, it was an explosion in an instant.

You can't expect the 38-year-old Iverson to be the same as he was when he was 26.

Now compared to breakthroughs, shooting is Iverson's more stable way to score.

Kobe Bryant directly chose to flank Iverson.

He knew that Iverson's passing ability was relatively poor due to his height.

His judgment was correct, but he ignored the tacit understanding between Iverson and Lin Ying.

When Lin Ying cut in, most of Iverson's attention was on Lin Ying.

So when he saw that Kobe didn't follow Lin Ying back, he had already raised his hand in advance.

This creates a time gap, a perfect time gap.

"boom!"

Before Kobe Bryant's double attack was in place, Iverson hit the ball to Lin Ying with a beautiful ball.

Lin Ying caught the ball and his eyes widened.

He took a big step and jumped into the air.

"Bang!"

A dunk with gliding hands slammed the ball into the basket!

39 to 49!

The Nets opened the point difference to double digits!

This time it's the younger fans' turn to move their DNA.

Back in Denver, when Anthony was suspended, Iverson and Lin Ying also led the team together.

That was also the first time Lin Ying showed his talent.

In the blink of an eye, that was five years ago.

At that time, they regretted that the Nuggets failed to reach the finals.

In fact, they failed to do it in the end, but they have done it now with the Nets!

"Kobe, you shouldn't double-team Pippen when Pippen and Jordan are playing pick-and-rolls."

Iverson looked at Kobe in front of him and said with a smile.

"Michael doesn't need the pick-and-roll."

Kobe immediately replied.

Iverson was stunned for a moment.

The two seemed to have returned to 12 years ago, and they exchanged trash talk on the court.

In the Lakers' offense, Kobe directly asked for the ball from the high post.

It was Kirilenko who guarded him.

Familiar matchup, Kobe turned and leaned back directly after receiving the ball.

Kirilenko jumped up to interfere.

His defense is spot on.

"Uh-huh!"

But with a crisp sound, the basketball fell into the bag.

Kobe hit a shot as soon as he came on the court!

He glanced at Iverson after he made the shot.

Although he didn't say anything, he seemed to be repeating what he just said.

Jordan didn't need the pick-and-roll, so he didn't need it either.

This is motivating Iverson.

Iverson just smiled.

As an old rival for many years, he certainly knew what Kobe wanted to do.

Even if he was two years ago, he would respond immediately.

That has nothing to do with being aroused, it's just the competitiveness engraved in my bones.

That was a distinct hallmark of their generation of players.

But that changed once he got to Brooklyn.

If nothing changed, how could he accept a backup, or even a bench, role?

Kobe didn't seem to feel it.

After Iverson and Lin Ying picked and rolled again, he also flanked Iverson again.

And this time he used his long arms to block Iverson's pass route.

Iverson... threw the ball directly over the basket!

This was definitely not a pass he was good at, nor was it something he would normally pass, but because it was Lin Ying, he knew Lin Ying could do it.

This is indeed the case. When the ball appeared above the basket, Lin Ying's figure also appeared behind the basketball.

The tacit understanding means that as soon as you raise your hand, I know what you are going to do.

"Bang!"

With a powerful and muffled sound, Lin Ying grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and then smashed the ball into the basket with an alley-oop dunk!

The cheers at the scene rose again.

What is tacit understanding, what is cooperation!

What is LinK-AI, LA connection!

After Lin Ying landed, he high-fived Iverson and then looked at Kobe with a smile.

Like Kobe, he didn't speak, but he seemed to repeat what he said before.

"This time, he is not fighting alone!"

This time, I am his strongest support!

Kobe, looked up at the scorer.

41 to 51.

This 10-point difference has become a hurdle that the Lakers cannot overcome now.

"beep!"

Just then the whistle sounded from the sidelines.

On the technical bench, Paul, Gasol, Deron, and Chandler came on as substitutes.

Iverson originally thought he was going to leave the game, but Deron came on and pointed at Billups.

Sloan chose to keep Iverson on the court.

Kobe continued to single out Kirilenko in the frontcourt, and this time Deron had help to prevent interference.

"Uh-huh!"

But Kobe resisted the two people's help in defense, performed a difficult backward dodge, and still threw the ball in!

After being inspired by Iverson to be competitive, his whole state was extremely hot!

"The Lakers will catch up soon!"

Barkley said excitedly in the commentary box.

He seems to have returned to the playoffs three years ago that year. He is also an unwavering die-hard Lakers fan!

Although, in the end, the Lakers he supported were unfortunately eliminated by Lin Ying.

In the transition between offense and defense, Kobe handed Iverson to Paul, and then guarded Lin Ying himself.

Lin Ying turned around and beat Kobe from the high post.

He knew Kobe wasn't going to help defend.

Sure enough, when Mayo on the weak side wanted to help defend, Kobe waved him back.

Lin Ying caught the ball and hit Kobe with his back.

Kobe defended sideways and tried to cut the ball. Lin Ying dodged it and then lowered his focus to hit Lin Ying.

This defensive method is equivalent to unloading force, which is a very effective defensive method when the body is relatively disadvantaged.

He had already tried it during the one-on-one challenge last night, and the effect was very good.

Lin Ying turned around in the opposite direction of Kobe's shot and shot backward.

Both players tried their best in last night's duel. Kobe was familiar with Lin Ying's offensive style, and Lin Ying was naturally familiar with Kobe's current defensive intensity.

However, Kobe had a prejudgment about this shot and jumped up to block Lin Ying's shooting sight.

The fans at the scene looked excited.

This kind of top-notch one-on-one singles is not something you can see every night!

Lin Ying's shooting vision was disturbed, but his shooting movement remained unchanged.

That's not just muscle memory, but... confidence in Kobe!

Kobe is like a mountain to him, and he has been working hard to climb and get closer.

Until last night, he finally reached the top of this mountain!

You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.

So now when he faces Kobe again, he is full of confidence.

What he wants is more than just beating Kobe in a one-on-one match.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound of entering the network.

Lin Ying hit a fadeaway shot against Kobe's defense!

This is also the 6th consecutive point he has scored since his debut!

The point difference is back to 10 points!

"Magic" Johnson looked at Barkley who sighed at this time, and he always felt that everything seemed familiar.

At halftime, the score on the field was 52 to 62.

The two teams maintained a 10-point difference.

In fact, it can be seen from the first and second quarters of the game that the Nets and Lakers are not only in strength, but also in very close condition.

Moreover, Sloan and Phil Jackson are too familiar with each other. They cannot suppress each other at the tactical level, but they will not drag the team back.

So the outcome of the game is focused on the X factor.

Obviously, Iverson became the X factor in the first half. In the second quarter, he dreamed back to 2001 and scored 11 points in a single quarter.

And perhaps no one could have imagined that the Lakers failed to overcome these 10 points in the end!

Coming back in the second half became a contest between two Hall of Fame coaches.

Phil Jackson used the pick-and-roll to catch Yi Jianlian in a targeted manner, hoping to break through from here.

This worked for a time. In a game of this level, Yi Jianlian's ability to defend against two super giants was obviously challenged.

But Sloan also responded quickly, shrinking the defense and forcing the Lakers to take more shots from the outside.

This defensive strategy that Carlisle used before and worked well, the Nets have even better results.

After all, purely in terms of defensive ability, this Nets is better than the Mavericks by more than one level.

Then the Nets took advantage of the momentum and started the duo of Deron and Lin Ying, and the Nets once again widened the point difference.

Phil Jackson also expects the team to have the X factor.

But it turns out that not everyone can do it under this level of confrontation.

What Iverson can do is not only his personal ability, but also the impact on the spiritual level.

That's not the same as white-hot space, but it has a similar effect to white-hot space.

At the end of the fierce battle in the final four quarters, the Nets defeated the Lakers 116-106 and won their first victory in the Finals!

According to the statistics after the game, Kobe Bryant scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists for the Lakers, Paul had 18 points and 11 assists, Gasol had 13 points and 7 rebounds, and Mayo had 16 points.

For the Nets, Lin Ying scored a game-high 32 points, plus 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Deron had 26 points and 9 assists, Iverson had 16 points, and Butler had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals.

After the game, some fans discovered a surprising coincidence.

It wasn't that Lin Ying and Delong scored 58 points together, but...

Twelve years ago, in the game when Iverson led the 76ers to overturn the OK combination, he scored 48 points.

And tonight, Lin Ying and Iverson's total score was exactly 48 points!

This is a coincidence, but it seems to be a destiny.

This time, he is not fighting alone.
