This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 563 Jordan and Pippen

Too bad!

When he saw the referee's gesture, Anthony almost spit out a mouthful of salt soda.

He immediately made a gesture that was effective for scoring a goal.

Hey, that's obviously a hollow!

Don't talk about Anthony, because the ball did go down the net. It was very similar to a goal in terms of perception. Even the referee didn't understand it.

Finally, seeing that Anthony's eyes were extremely certain and he was following the principle of fairness in the game (referee: It's not that I'm not sure), the referees watched the replay video.

Through replays, we can conclude that Anthony's shot... is indeed a no-nonsense move!

This time the fans at the scene were entertained.

Don't you have any points to make it in or not?

Anthony also felt a pain in his heart.

Originally, it was only a matter known to a few people on the court, but now, the whole world knows that he missed the shot, and he thought he made it!

Fortunately, his experience in the Knicks over the past two years has caused some changes in his personality, and his face has become thicker!

Otherwise, how do you think he, a star who considers himself to be on the same level as James, is able to immerse himself in data collection regardless of the team's record?

Without morals, anything is possible!

So you can think that it's not that he can't remember what happened in the Knicks, but that he selectively forgets.

This may not be a bad thing for him, after all, he says goodbye to all his worries...

It's just that he can be shameless and not care about his missed three shots, but he can't stop Lin Ying from scoring.

Lin Ying held the ball and beat Porzingis in singles, and another "flying man" one-handed throw after a breakthrough.

Good guy, Lin Ying hasn’t recovered from the last round of Jordan imitation show!

But when Lin Ying starts to attack like this, it shows that his mentality is very relaxed and confident, even if the Nets are still lagging behind.

53 to 62!

Moreover, Lin Ying scored 10 points and 1 assist in this period, almost single-handedly narrowing the point difference to single digits!

16 points behind, is that a lot?

The Knicks are in hot form, is it difficult to chase points?

With Lin Ying, it’s not difficult!

What is the number one player in the league, your King Lin!

The Knicks were in a precarious situation. At this moment, Paul gave up giving the ball to Anthony and instead called Noah to hit a pick-and-roll.

Noah's pick-and-roll quality is average. He just signed a contract with the Knicks this season and his performance declined due to injuries.

However, this did not affect Paul's offense. After using Noah's pick-and-roll to move to the right, he hit Jokic with a backward shot.

This ball is a bit similar to Anthony's ball just now. The arc of the ball is very high, just like a high throw shot when playing badminton.

But the difference is that Anthony was forced to raise the arc of his hand to avoid the block, while Paul actively raised the arc of his hand to avoid the block.

There seems to be no difference, but the difference between active and passive is also shown in the results.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hollow falls into the pocket.

This time, it’s a real hollow ball!

The Knicks bench was abuzz.

At the critical moment, you still have to look at Paul!

This has been proven many times this season, and the Knicks have won games on many nights relying on Paul's steady mid-range hand.

Tonight, they will do it again!

Paul also had more than just personal abilities.

"There's no way he's going to fight like that all night long!"

While retreating, he shouted encouragement to his teammates.

The meaning of these words was obvious. He was referring to Lin Ying. Lin Ying could not spend the whole night playing like this on both offense and defense.

With this understanding, they only need to adjust their mentality and not set the goal of defeating the opponent in a short period of time, but instead set a protracted battle and maintain a stalemate.

Then when Lin Ying's physical fitness declines, it will be time for the Knicks to win the game!

Paul's thinking is very clear.

And the next two rounds seemed to confirm his conjecture.

Lin Ying was flanked and passed the ball to Jokic. Jokic's three-point shot at the top of the arc missed a little.

After Noah protected the defensive rebound, the Knicks launched a defensive counterattack. Paul's beautiful behind-the-back pass in the fast break assisted Lee who followed up and scored two points.

After Lee scored the ball, Paul waved his fist excitedly and then gave Lee a high-five.

The Knicks reopened the point difference to 11 points, and with one offense and one defense, their decline was stopped!

Durant looked anxious on the sidelines. He stood up and wanted to get ready to play again, but he sat back abruptly after thinking about what Lin Ying said to him.

This next round is critical.

Lin Ying caught the ball and was immediately flanked.

But this time he didn't pass it.

And Durant could feel that Lin Ying's entire game temperament seemed to have changed in an instant.

Lin Ying entered the white-hot space.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ying had broken through the trap and entered the paint, and then slammed the ball into the basket through his old acquaintance Noah!

All the fans at the scene were stunned.

Although this is certainly not the first time they have seen Lin Ying play like this, it is still shocking once they see it.

Especially when Lin Ying was forced to distribute the ball in the last round.

This contrast is so strong that it is always difficult to accept it!

But the next second, Barclays Center was filled with cheers from fans.

The Nets bench was also in a state of excitement.

Facts have once again proved that they can always trust Lin Ying!

No matter how precarious it seems!

Paul's expression also changed a lot.

He has seen Jordan play, but after all, he has never actually played with Jordan.

In addition, he has been playing in the Western Conference before, so he is far from what Anthony is used to. Every time he sees Lin Ying's breakthrough scoring method, his strong heart will be shocked.

Is this a score a normal person can get?

Looking back, Paul repeated his old tricks.

But this time his shot failed to hit.

No matter how stable your shooting is, when your mentality fluctuates, your hands will shake unconsciously.

At the end of halftime in the blink of an eye, the score between the two teams was 58 to 64!

The Nets narrowed the point difference to 6 points at halftime!

The feeling the Nets gave throughout the second quarter, especially after Durant came off the court, was that Lin Ying took over the game on both offense and defense.

As for the Knicks, after Anthony was shut down by Lin Ying, he could only rely on Paul's mid-range to score.

Paul's mid-range gives people a very stable feeling at critical moments, and the goals he scores are all crucial.

But in the regular stage, it feels like it lacks firepower.

Especially after being impacted by Lin Ying's scoring method, his shooting percentage also fluctuated.

Lin Ying scored 28 points at halftime, especially 18 points in the second half of the second quarter.

But the price was that he sat on the sidelines for a long time after halftime, and when he got up, he waved to Zhou Qi to come over and help him.

The consumption of this half was much greater than he imagined.

He is getting stronger, and so is Paul.

And this Knicks team is very good, much better than the original Hornets (now the Pelicans).

When Durant saw it, he quickly came over and gave Lin Ying a hand.

His emotions at the moment were a bit complicated, including distress, self-blame, and a hint of worry.

The two of them were silent at first, and Durant didn't speak until they were almost at the door of the locker room.

"If we lose the final game, I will bear the greatest responsibility."

Durant said.

Lu has reminded them more than once, but as one of the team leaders, he has never listened.

Coupled with his sluggish performance in the first half and too many fouls, he was basically holding Lin Ying back.

This also indirectly led to Lin Ying's excessive consumption in the first half, and the Nets were about to face their first defeat in the playoffs.

"What are you talking about? Why did we lose?"

However, Lin Ying's reaction was completely unexpected by Durant. He didn't seem panicked at all, and even very confident.

This makes Durant very confused. With the Knicks' state tonight, unless Lin Ying is as brave in the second half as he was in the first.

But even if you take Hercules pills, you can't withstand such constant sprints.

"I do not understand."

Durant finally said it honestly.

In front of Lin Ying, he always had nothing to hide.

"Because of you, Kevin."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

Durant was stunned for a moment.

"Do you remember what you said when you came to the Nets? You said you were going to be my Pippen. You know what Pippen can do."

Lin Ying smiled and said in an extremely calm tone.

Pippen just defended on the court and then passed the ball to Jordan?

No, that's what Ron Harper did.

The reason why Pippen is Pippen is because he performed abnormally under Jordan (the probability is relatively low), or he stepped up to take over the team when Jordan was resting. It is also because of his outstanding personal ability that he can do this. , so he is Jordan's best deputy.

Otherwise, after two and three consecutive championships, this position would have been replaced long ago.

Durant obviously knew what Lin Ying meant.

Because of him, Lin Ying could rest assured that he would use all his firepower to help the team chase points in the first half.

It's like facing an enemy and completely handing your back to your partner behind you.

Durant was stunned.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ying reached out and patted Durant on the shoulder, and finally said:

"I said, believe me, and now I have to say, I believe you too."

"The Nets are dangerous right now."

In the halftime commentary box, several TNT giants were chatting about the game situation.

Kenny Smith, as a reasonable guest, said a very objective reality, which is also visible to most people.

"If the Knicks finally win the home game, then CP3 will definitely move higher on my list of the best point guards in history."

Buckley nodded.

The other three people couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

There's nothing wrong with this, except that it would be perfect if the person speaking it wasn't Barkley.

"The Nets need someone to step up and help Lin. Even if it's Lin, he can't play like this for a whole game."

McGrady is analyzing it seriously.

"Just like you can't hit home runs with your girlfriend all night long."

O'Neill on the side added with a smile.

Maddie looked troubled, while the others smiled and shook their heads.

Although a bit unserious, O'Neal's metaphor is also very appropriate.

A player's physical ability and energy are limited, no matter how high his upper limit is.

Once the critical point is exceeded, injuries are likely to follow.

"Is Kevin Durant here tonight? Is he here? I don't think I saw him. Is he injured or something?"

O'Neal immediately put his hand on his forehead and made a "peeping" gesture, which made the show full of effect.

A group of people laughed and made fun of each other.

Except for Barkley, the other three people wanted Heilin Ying to remain silent, but they would not show mercy to the others.

With Durant's disastrous performance in the first half, it's impossible not to be criticized.

"So if the Nets want to win tonight's game, Kevin has to be seen by us."

McGrady made a very good summary.

"That's impossible. The only one the Nets can rely on is Lin."

Buckley said immediately.

"Charles, for once I rarely agree with you."

Although he knew that Barkley was always talking the opposite, O'Neal, who had always been against Barkley, rarely agreed with Barkley.

But he was obviously telling the truth, this guy was a Duhei at heart.

They talked about the same thing, and the second half of the game was about to begin, with the starting players from both sides returning to the court one after another.

Neither team made any starting adjustments, and the Knicks took the lead in the second half.

When Anthony arrived in the frontcourt, he saw that the man defending him had changed back to Ariza, and he immediately felt relieved, and then turned around to ask for the ball.

Hold the ball, back to the basket, turn around, and shoot.

"Dang!"

Lin Ying had been frozen for most of the quarter, and after halftime, his hands had already turned cold.

But it doesn't matter, the Knicks are still leading and not panicking at all.

The Knicks retreated to half court, and Lin Ying was heavily defended.

Obviously, the Knicks midfielder made very targeted arrangements for Lin Ying.

This is indeed effective. Lin Ying has been attacked from both sides without the ball, and it is much more difficult to catch the ball than in the first half.

However, Lin Ying gave up after trying it for a while but with no good results.

Over there, Durant is already reaching for the ball.

It's a pity that the photographer didn't catch up with the camera in time at this time, otherwise the commentators would not be so teasing after seeing Durant's expression.

How should I put it? At this time, Durant's face showed determination.

Lin Ying's midfield words were not loud, but every word hit him deep in his heart.

Maybe when Lu told Lin Ying that he trusted him before, Lin Ying had the same situation in his heart, but because of their different personalities, the two people expressed themselves in different ways.

Durant held the ball and launched an attack. He changed and ran directly to the basket.

He was fast, faster than he had ever been before.

Anthony in front of him only felt something fly past his face, and when he looked back, Durant had already reached the basket.

Porzingis quickly went to the basket to help defend, but still couldn't catch up.

His vigorous leap was more like making Durant's offense more visually impactful.

After all, a dunk without a background board loses its flavor.

Yes, Durant jumped up, with a ferocious face and a fierce look, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Bang!"

The lingering sound is deafening!

After Durant dunked, he was still hanging on the rim!

You've never seen Durant like this.

Just like the saying you heard:

A certain general, Durant, was originally Lin Huang's through fire and water plus!
