This Forward is Not Serious

Lin Ying didn't say it clearly, but Durant obviously knew what he was talking about.

Durant felt, well, there was a fishy smell in the air.

The All-Star Game mvp does not have much gold content, but the gold content of FMVP is very high.

"Which one is more valuable, MVP or FMVP?" has always been a topic that fans enjoy discussing.

But Lin Ying had the capital.

After all, he already has 3 FMVPs in hand!

In the history of the NBA, there is only one person who has more, Michael. This can only be me, Jordan.

One of the reasons why Jordan is called GOAT by fans is because of his two three-game winning streaks and six FMVP trophies.

After him are the three FMVP trophies of "Magic" Johnson, O'Neal, Duncan and Lin Ying.

This is also an important reason why many people believe that the FMVP trophy has higher gold content.

In theory, this award only belongs to the core of the final winner.

So from this perspective, this FMVP is also very important to Lin Ying. As long as he gets it, he can surpass others and become "under one person" in the true sense.

"Kevin, do you think we will win?"

Lin Ying continued.

However, he knew Durant's flag-raising attributes, so he didn't give Durant a chance to speak, but directly took up the conversation himself.

"When you are already celebrating victory in advance, failure is not far away from you."

Durant was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

Although FMVP evaluates the performance of the players during the entire finals, there is nothing wrong with paying attention since G1.

But judging from the performance in the first half, the Warriors' 73 wins are real.

Even if Curry hadn't been playing injured, they might still be lagging behind now.

"Kevin, stay focused on the game. Our first goal is the championship. As for the rest, it doesn't matter."

Lin Ying also spoke his mind.

And this statement is actually quite important.

Because whether Durant really wants to get this FMVP or wants to give this FMVP to him, it may cause the Nets to overturn.

From the perspective of Lin Ying, a time traveler, this is evidenced by history.

Durant nodded seriously after hearing this.

After all, the Warriors are not the Cavaliers, and they are not so sure of winning.

After the halftime break, the game between the two sides continued.

Up comes the Warriors to attack first.

Curry came out of his pocket and shot a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line.

This ball is somewhat like coming back at halftime to try out the feel.

"Uh-huh!"

Then I tried it and got in!

Although Curry scored 3 three-pointers in the first half, he took 9 shots, and the overall feel was not good.

Now, it seems that after half-time adjustments, he has regained his touch!

The Nets changed their style of play, Jokic organized at the top of the arc, and Durant's mid-range shot when he came out to catch the ball also hit!

After the two teams fought a defensive battle in the first half, are they going to start an offensive battle in the second half?

This was quickly proven in the following games.

Green dealt the cards at the top of the arc. After seeing Jokic's position, he chose a three-pointer and hit it directly!

Due to weight gain this season, his flexibility has declined, but his three-point shooting has shown a higher level.

After the ball hit, Green waved his fist excitedly.

After being punched by Johnson and playing in a daze for half a game, this three-pointer finally gave him a "rebirth"!

Then, Durant caught the ball and shot a three-pointer after running without the ball!

Death's scythe appears again!

Durant's hand felt hot tonight!

The two sides fought fiercely in the third quarter, with the two teams scoring 43 to 42 in a single quarter.

That nearly matched their first-half scoring total.

After three quarters, the score on the court was 91 to 84, and the Nets still led by 7 points.

This point difference is not big, which also means that the two sides will usher in a decisive moment in the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Ying and Durant both rested off the court.

At this time, Durant fully felt the strength of the Warriors, and was more moved by what Lin Ying said during the halftime break.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the substitutes on both sides were still inseparable.

Although JR was expelled from the Nets, West can become the core of the offense and pair him with some shooters. The simple one-star and four-shooter style still works.

For the Warriors, Ezeli's ejection has little impact. They still have Varejao available.

The Nets' two old players, Barbosa and Livingston, also have a strong presence on the court.

This substitute transition period ended, 101 to 94, still a 7-point difference.

The main players from both sides began to return to the court one after another, and the game entered the final decisive moment.

In this period, the offensive level of both sides is still very high.

The Nets can always find offensive opportunities by mismatching Curry, but the Warriors still maintain good accuracy with their double-gun shots.

At this time, the Nets' previous lead becomes critical.

Because if this stalemate continues, the Nets will win the game directly.

In order to chase points, the Warriors had to increase the intensity of their confrontation.

Then they soon discovered that the referee's standards had become looser again.

This is understandable. If you keep blowing, the game will be very fragmented.

The level of confrontation on the field became intense again.

Durant made a breakthrough and was entangled with Green, causing everyone to fall over.

Green made all kinds of tangled arms and legs, and after getting up, he started talking trash to Durant again.

Lin Ying pulled away from Durant at this time.

Then after the sideline ball came out, he directly hit Green with his back.

The Warriors were not flanking, and Lin Ying was chipping away like a hammer. This was somewhat of a personal grudge against Durant.

And just when Green thought Lin Ying was about to turn around and lean back, Lin Ying turned around and changed into a face frame.

This simply told Green that the back slap in front was actually a joke for him.

Then when Green was furious, Lin Ying made a breakthrough with a low center of gravity.

Green wanted to follow Lin Ying's movements, but Lin Ying's center of gravity was too low. As a result, his center of gravity was unstable. Then he fell to the ground as soon as he confronted Lin Ying.

The referee didn't blow the whistle. Lin Ying rushed to the basket and jumped into the air, smashing the ball into the basket with a tomahawk!

In the next second, Green jumped up and yelled loudly in front of the referee, indicating that Lin Ying's breakthrough just now was a push.

However, looking at Green, who still had half his face swollen, the referee did not react.

First, Lin Ying did not support his elbow when he broke through, but the confrontation caused by the collision should not be called a foul.

Secondly, it’s Lin Ying! Not to mention not having an elbow support, they may not be able to blow even if they have an elbow support! If a superstar doesn't have a superstar whistle, then he's still called a superstar!

Green's angry outburst had no effect, and it was Thompson who saw the referee's expression was wrong and came up to pull him away.

Green kept chattering after being pulled away.

As expected, people are healed of their scars and forget about the pain.

At this time, the score on the court was 110 to 101, and the situation was very dangerous for the Warriors.

Because the game time is getting shorter and shorter, but the Warriors have never been able to narrow the point difference.

And if they can't score in the next round, then when the Nets open the point difference to double digits, they will have no chance of winning again if they want to make a comeback.

Curry and Green play pick-and-roll hand-offs at the top of the arc. This is also one of the Warriors' regular tactics.

However, Bradley had a successful prediction of the ball and bypassed it directly. Green was a little anxious to move the pick-and-roll.

As a result, he didn't notice Lin Ying beside him and fell to the ground.

Under high-intensity confrontation, this in itself is not a big problem.

But it was at this time that Green made a very dangerous move.

In other words, it was his instinctive action.

In the previous first round against the Thunder, Green made a similar move to Adams, kicking Adams directly in the crotch twice in one series.

Because of this incident, some fans ridiculed Green as "Egg Chasing Green".

However, because the league did not pursue punishment for this, Green had no intention of restraining himself. Instead, he seemed to regard it as his own unique move.

Fortunately, Lin Ying reacted quickly enough and jumped over Green's head.gif.

This time he successfully avoided Green's dirty trick, and also copied a wave of Iverson's classic scenes.

Green suddenly stood up from the ground in the next second, arched his hands, and angrily... glanced at Lin Ying.

In that list of people not to be messed with, Lin Ying's name was also ranked very high.

Although there has been no action for a long time, the league has always circulated the legend that Lin Ying was so powerful in San Antonio.

Green then received a warning whistle from the referee.

This almost caused Green to suffer internal injuries.

But it's not a bad thing that Green was timid again, because if he did, the referee would definitely eject him directly.

The game continued with the Warriors' frontcourt sideline kick.

There was not much offensive time left, and Barnes received Curry's sudden three-pointer from the bottom corner.

"Dang!"

Still missing.

He had no touch tonight and failed to hit any of his 7 shots.

The rebound was picked off by Jokic, and the Nets now have a chance to open the point difference to double digits.

Lin Ying caught the ball from the outside, held the ball with one hand, took a deep breath, and directly entered the white-hot space.

The next second after entering, he jumped directly past Green.

Green couldn't keep up with the speed. He turned around and tried to pick Lin Ying's crotch, but he only touched Lin Ying's crotch jersey.

Finally, he watched Lin Ying's back break through to the inside, and then ended with a dunk.

The score difference has reached double digits!

Green was so angry that he jumped on the spot, and you could see that the mood of the Warriors players on the court instantly became depressed.

Even Curry couldn't help but look up at the timer.

Their last breath was taken away.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Warriors 122-108 on the road and won their first victory in the Finals.

According to the statistics after the game, for the Warriors, Curry scored 7 three-pointers and scored 33 points, Thompson scored 21 points, and Green had 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists.

These people's performance is normal, but Barnes' statistics are eye-catching.

He made 0 of 7 shots from the field and only relied on free throws to score 2 points and 5 rebounds.

This summer is his contract year, and making such a start in the most important finals is obviously not a good thing for him.

For the Nets, Durant scored a game-high 38 points, plus 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Many people may not have noticed that this is the first time he has appeared on the stage of the finals.

Many people will be nervous and perform abnormally for the first time, but Durant's performance can only be described as "hard".

Lin Ying also had a near-triple-double with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and Jokic had a mini-triple-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

Of course, the Nets also have someone who mirrors Barnes. Ariza made 1 of 7 shots, deeply explaining what "Iron Zam" is.

The ups and downs of this G1 match also triggered a series of subsequent incidents after the game.

The first incident is naturally Green's "surrender without a fight" incident.

McGrady's joke in the commentary, "No one can defeat Green before he surrenders," instantly became a hot meme.

The reason is simple, because this original quote created by France during World War II has become widely circulated.

The second incident was Lin Ying's "hurdling" incident.

Because Green's sneak attack failed, Green's intention to chase the egg was not so obvious from the fans' perspective.

On the contrary, Lin Ying's jump over the hurdle seemed to have some intentional elements in it.

This issue has also triggered heated debate among fans.

Some people said that Lin Ying's actions were too disrespectful and lost the demeanor of the league's number one player;

Some people said that Green played too dirty and almost injured Durant, so he deserved to be stepped on;

Of course, there are also some fans with "Lin Ying fans" in their IDs, who have proposed the details of Green's egg-chasing actions;

Event three is G1’s penalty event.

The three people who were expelled from G1 received fines from the league one after another.

Johnson was suspended for one game, while J.R. and Ezeli were suspended for two games.

Tatum inherited Stern's intensity of punishment for vicious incidents in games, and even suspended him in the finals.

On Johnson's side, it was because Green gave in in time that the incident was not too bad.

But JR and Ezeli are already fighting, and the punishment will naturally be more severe.

However, Nets fans will definitely not be happy when this result comes out.

Not to mention that there are more people suspended, the key is that the importance of the suspended people to the team is different.

Ezeli's status in the Warriors is similar to Mahinmi's in the Nets, and JR's status is the same as Livingston's.

So this wave of suspensions has weakened the Nets.

What about unhappy fans? Of course it’s about finding a balance!

Then some fans went to watch the video of G1, and saw Green's crotch-picking move against Lin Ying when he was defending.

According to the fans' explanation, it's not enough to chase the eggs with your feet, you have to chase the eggs directly with your hands!

Fans posted the material on social media and tagged the Nets' official account.

The Nets also quickly appealed.

Then something interesting happened.

The league did not punish Green before because the target of Green's actions was Adams, but this time it was Lin Ying!

If something happened to Lin Ying, it would be a big deal.

So the league directly added a technical foul to Green.

Originally, adding technical fouls was not a big deal, it was just a matter of fines.

The league handled it this way to give Green a warning.

But the problem is that Green has a bad temper and has accumulated 17 technical fouls before.

Then because of this additional technical foul, he was automatically suspended for one game!

Thanks to Ai Hanhan for the tip!
