This Forward is Not Serious

"MVP! MVP!"

When Lin Ying got to the free throw line, cheers from the home fans had already started.

Fans saw Kerr's coaching ability and Lin Ying's dominance on both ends of offense and defense in the past.

The success of a coach's tactics has a lot to do with whether there are suitable players.

Phil Jackson and Jordan, Kobe; Sloan and Malone, Stockton; D'Antoni and Nash, Stoudemire; Adelman and Webber, Divac and so on.

Without Lin Ying, if Kerr's tactics were to be realized, he would have to change teams.

However, Lin Ying is different from many players.

Whether it's Karl's high-speed round-trip, Gentry's offensive and defensive balance, or Sloan's pick-and-roll, including Kerr's current transitional version of infinite switching, he can all fit.

It's more like a multi-hole socket that can fit a variety of plugs. .

This is also an easily overlooked, but also very scary ability.

"Shh!"

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lin Ying hit the penalty.

18 to 21.

The Nets in turn led the Cavaliers by 3 points.

And in the next round, Lin Ying's help defense once again forced Owen to pass the ball to Smith.

Smith was forced to take a mid-range shot that he wasn't good at.

The basketball smashed out of the box, the rebound was protected by Yi Jianlian, and the Nets played a defensive counterattack again.

Butler held the ball and scored a one-stop fast break.

The difference is 5 points!

Kidd reached out and called a timeout!

Kerr was very excited at this time, and took the initiative to walk to the forefront of the bench, high-five the players off the field one by one, and then repeated "good job".

He's really good at this kind of detail with the players.

The suspension came back, and there were substitutions on both sides.

The Cavaliers replaced Hawes and replaced Shumpert.

Shumpert was traded by the Cavaliers at the trade deadline from the 76ers for Myers and a draft pick.

The Nets replaced Livingston, JR Smith and Granger in one breath, and replaced Deron, Butler and Johnson.

Kidd also used a centerless lineup when he saw moves, while Kerr expanded the rotation greatly.

The confrontation between the two young coaches gave people a sense of the kind of game between the masters.

The rise of a new generation of coaches is exciting.

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers not only made substitutions, but also changed their playstyle.

Everyone else opened up the space, including Harden, who also fell to the weak side, and directly let Irving hold the ball for a heads-up.

Livingston is tall and long and has great defense, but Irving's touch and rhythm are too strong.

He changed direction with his crotch, broke through to close the confrontation, made a sudden stop and turned back, and Livingston had lost his defensive position.

"Shh!"

Basketball Silk Slippery Frame!

At his peak, Irving was called the "offensive museum" by fans, referring to his proficient perimeter offensive methods and strong grasp, a good player in heads-up.

Although he hasn't reached his peak yet, he can already smell that smell.

Lin Ying directly received the ball in the low post at this time.

Kerr's on-the-spot experience is definitely not as rich as Carl's, but as Walkendian thinks, even if Karl is there, Lin Ying will automatically handle many details on the field, and there is no need for the head coach to micro-manage the details.

For example, the Cavaliers did not have a center at this time, and their interior defense was weak. He directly asked for the ball in the low post.

Lin Ying caught the ball, and the Cavaliers quickly attacked with high execution.

Lin Ying had already turned to the bottom line, then broke through the bottom line all the way to the basket, and after jumping up, the lever gliding slammed the ball into the basket!

There was cheers at the scene.

Lin Ying entered the scoring mode earlier than expected because Delong had not entered the state.

This is not necessarily a good thing for the Nets, but as far as the fans are concerned, it is very cool to watch!

Who doesn't love watching a superstar scoring show!

Then, Irving turned around and a Sam Gold broke through Livingston, hit the basket and flew to the basket.

Although the ball was not scored in the end, it successfully caused Livingston's thug to foul!

Irving also made two free throws.

In this section, he and Lin Yingbiao had a split!

And the Cavaliers' offensive level is also fully displayed in this section.

Harden is the core of the ball, and the offense will mainly revolve around him.

But when his physical strength is exhausted, or the effect is not so good, the ball will be concentrated in Irving's hands, allowing Irving to use his excellent singles ability to continue points.

As for this time, Harden still stayed on the court, but contained the defense on the weak side, so that the opponent did not dare to attack easily.

Moreover, Irving's singles have also changed significantly from last season. His offense ends more quickly, which allows him to reduce the risk of being pinched, thereby covering up the relatively weak point of passing ability.

In addition to the changes in the personal strength of the two, Kidd's coaching is also a key point.

In other words, even the progress of the two is inseparable from Kidd's training.

The Cavaliers' summer coaching change proved to be a step in the right direction.

Lin Ying looked up at the large LED screen at this time.

22 to 25.

Still a 3 point difference.

The Cavaliers failed to complete the break in front of the game, and the Nets have not done it now.

In addition to feeling the suitability of the backcourt combination of Irving and Harden, he feels that the Cavaliers do not need any James now.

Because what James can do, Harden can almost do.

If two people are forced to play together, the functions overlap, and one ball will not be enough.

In contrast, strengthen the role players, the upper limit of this Cavaliers will not be low.

Just this way, if James still wants to return to Cleveland to play basketball in his hometown in the summer as in history, the Cavaliers management does not know what to do and choose.

More and more curious!

The two teams played much more intensely than expected.

After Irving played several times in a row, Harden also took a break, and then Kidd began to show his micro-manipulation, letting the two backcourts stagger the time to lead the team.

Kerr's massive rotation was supposed to take advantage of the Nets' depth to drain the Cavaliers.

But Kidd's style of play has not been greatly affected.

However, it can be clearly felt that the strength of the Cavaliers' lineup is still worse than that of the Nets.

Especially in terms of role players, Varejao's large contract is already a drag on the Cavaliers.

Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the end, after playing almost the whole game, no one had a chance to open the score.

The game is going on and on, and it has come to the last moment.

Nets possession.

Lin Ying broke through and was pinched by three people and gave the ball to Joe Johnson.

Johnson showed his big heart ability and hit the key ball in the face of Smith's block.

106 to 104, the Nets got a key two-point advantage.

There are only 12 seconds left until the end of the game.

But for the Bucks, a very fatal problem is that they have no time-out.

Because the game was too intense, Kidd had used up all the timeouts in advance!

At this time, Kidd's choice can only be to hand the fate to the players, and let the players handle the game.

However, just as the Cavaliers were preparing to serve in the backcourt, a whistle sounded on the sidelines and the game entered a technical timeout.

Because there was an emergency on the sidelines, the staff had to go on the field to deal with it.

In this sudden situation, the ice Coke held by Kidd was accidentally knocked over to the ground.

And the person who knocked over Ice Coke was Harden on the Cavaliers side.

What's more interesting is that although Kidd stood still, not far away, the assistant coach of the Cavaliers had already greeted the players of the Cavaliers on the court and quickly arranged tactics.

Most fans don't see this.

Because what happened was too sudden, what just happened was being played back on the large LED screen at the scene.

This seems to be an accident, but because Kidd's movement of holding an ice cola at this time is a bit strange, the playback has been repeated several times.

That is, after a few times, Maddie at the commentary was the first to discover the problem.

He looked at Kidd's mouth, and then repeated the sentence:

"Hit.me?"

Hit.me is used a lot in English, the most straightforward translation is "hit me", and then there is the meaning of "call me, contact me".

However, in this context, this obviously means neither, but "hit me".

Kidd was in a hurry and created a timeout for the Bucks in this way.

Maddie couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.

Because this operation is not an ordinary show, there is a loophole in the rules.

And their explanation is from the perspective of God, and they can quickly discover this matter.

But the referees on the field are different. The rule is that no liquid can appear on the field during the game, not even blood, let alone ice cola.

"That's what Jason would do."

Brin said with a smile at this time.

He went on to talk about another interesting anecdote from Kidd's time as a player.

There is a rule in the NBA that coaches are not allowed to enter the arena.

But there are times when the game does get so intense that it's hard for the coach to keep his composure.

Lin Ying didn't get a foul when he broke Popovich's rib, because of this rule.

And Kidd has a similar show.

Kidd, who was still playing in the Mavericks at the time, was playing against the Eagles. At the last moment, he saw Eagles coach Mike Woodson stepped into the field with one foot and took the initiative to bump into Woodson.

That later landed Woodson a technical foul, which the Mavericks ultimately won.

Wisdom emerges from urgency, or can be referred to as swiftness for short, this is one of Kidd's abilities.

There was no whistle on the field, and after the ice cola problem was dealt with, the game on the field continued.

The Cavaliers played a beautiful cooperation in the frontcourt. Irving successfully created Chandler's defensive foul after receiving a pass from Harden and got two free throws.

At this time, there are only 4 seconds left until the end of the game.

As long as Irving makes these two free throws, there is a high probability that the two teams will usher in overtime.

With the state of the Cavaliers tonight, they are also completely true to the Nets in overtime.

Irving's two free throws.

He took a deep breath before the free throw.

Although he is very confident in his free throw ability, the physical consumption can also be seen.

Or to put it another way, Kerr's big rotation style of play is unlikely to have no impact on the Cavaliers at all.

The Cavaliers played well with two guns, but they also worked hard.

There was an overwhelming noise from the Nets fans at the scene, and there were neat gas sticks in front of the basket to interfere with the sight.

After adjusting his breathing, Irving made his first free throw.

"when!"

The ball was a little short, hit the front of the rim, and...

rolled in.

The ball is a bit overhanging, but luckily it's not bad.

Irving's second free throw.

The noise at the scene grew louder.

This time he stepped up.

"when!"

This time, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced.

This time, I didn't have the luck of the previous ball, and it bounced straight out!

Under the basket, Chandler showed rebound protection and jumped up to take off the defensive rebound.

And his reaction in the next second was even more amazing. After he took off the rebound, he turned around without hesitation and shoved the ball directly into Lin Ying's hand.

That almost instinctive reaction speed directly stunned everyone else on the field.

Harden was the first to react and foul Lin Ying.

But after the foul he couldn't help shaking his head.

It would be very different for the Cavaliers if he could foul Chandler.

Lin Ying and Chandler have completely different free throw percentages.

Lin Ying goes to the free throw line.

Thanks to Kerr's big rotation, although he also attacked a lot tonight, he still has plenty of energy.

After a solid two free throws, the Nets lead to 3 points.

There are only more than 2 seconds left in the last time, and the Cavaliers have not suspended.

After Irving missed his second free throw, the Cavaliers were doomed.

In the last quick attack in the backcourt, Irving's logo position went wide against Butler's defense, and the result of the game was also finalized.

108 to 105, the Nets narrowly defeated the Cavaliers by 3 points at home and won this division semifinal victory.

In terms of statistics after the game, the Cavaliers played an eye-catching double shot. Harden scored a double-double of 26 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, and Irving contributed 27 points and 4 assists.

Lin Ying scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists on the Nets side, Butler had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Johnson had 17 points, Delong had 13 points and 9 assists, and Yi Jianlian had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

At the Cavaliers' post-game press conference, the reporter asked Kidd how he felt about the game against Kerr.

"Cole puts a lot of pressure on me, he's underrated by a lot of people, and he has the opportunity to be a great head coach."

On Cole, Kidd is not stingy with praise.

Then when the reporter asked about the last free throw Irving missed.

"I may not be able to help him much with the free throw, but I think he has done a great job, and James has done a great job. As for that free throw is just part of the growth, he will improve quickly."

From the words, one could hear Kidd's love for the pair of knights.

And ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The reason for the high execution of the Cavaliers can also find some reasons.

When the team's head coach not only knows how to use players, but also keeps bragging about it in public, it's hard to get your team divided.

"This game gave the team a lot of confidence. Do you think the next game can be easier?"

A reporter then asked.

"It's a good start, but it's too early to say it's easy. Deron's state was not good tonight, and Lin didn't play 100%. We won't take it lightly and will be ready to continue the tough game."

Kidd is not only rational, but also very calm.

Finally, the reporter asked about the "hit.me" during the game

"I didn't say anything. It was just an accident. I was nervous and wanted to drink an ice Coke."

Kidd said calmly.

After speaking, he took a sip of the ice Coke in front of him.
