Chapter 125: Beat the Great Demon King in Section 1
With the jump ball in the middle circle of the two teams, this "Chinese Derby", which is highly anticipated by Chinese fans, has finally begun!
When the ball was jumping in the middle circle, Lin Yi felt that the center of the Nets, Brook Lopez, didn't even jump up. Damn, this guy is too lazy!
In fact, Lin Yi wronged Brook Lopez, because Da Luo really danced, but there is no difference between dancing and not dancing...
Lin Yi has successfully jumped the ball in 12 consecutive games. I wonder if this will create a statistic in the future?
You must know that Jordan, who will be called the "jump ball king" by fans in the future, has the highest jump ball success rate in a single season of 80% in his career.
Will Lin Yi create a record of 82 consecutive successful jump balls?
The Knicks started the offense. In order to increase the value of the Larry Hughes trade, D'Antoni significantly increased Hughes' playing time in these games.
Hughes was also in trouble, and quickly handed the ball to Lin Yi after the opening.
Brook Lopez waved his arms in front of Lin Yi with his teeth and claws. It seemed that he was actively defending, but in Lin Yi's view, this "White Duncan" didn't even lower his defensive focus. Lin Yi's defense could not be frightened.
The Nets didn't know that the Knicks wanted to make trouble today, so head coach Frank arranged a step-by-step start. Anyway, Lin Yi usually played 6 minutes in the first quarter. The Nets didn't have that kind of small forward with strong athletic ability and a certain height , so Frank arranged for Lopez to defend Lin Yi.
He figured Lopez at least had height, after all.
This is exactly what Lin Yi wanted.
Boom, boom, boom!
With Lin Yi speeding up his dribbling rhythm, with a simple Crossover, Brook Lopez was left behind by Lin Yi.
Really step by step.
Where is Lopez's lateral movement speed? The moment he saw Lin Yi speeding up, Lopez looked depressed. Why are you so good when you are all seven feet long?
Yi Jianlian had no choice but to give up defending David Lee and come to defend Lin Yi. David Lee knew that Lin Yi would definitely do it alone, so he didn't bother to move. Instead, he stood near the free throw line at a 45-degree angle to Lin Yi. Make room.
Seeing Yi Jianlian coming over to assist in the defense, Lin Yi did not dodge, but directly vacated, and forced a layup with a change of hand!
When Lin Yifei was in the air, there was a hang in the air. Yi Jianlian's weight was about the same as Lin Yi at this time, but Lin Yi was taller, with a longer wingspan, and there was a change of hands in the air. Yi, but got a foul instead.
Two plus one!
"I didn't expect the duel between Lin Yi and Ah Lian to come so fast, and Ah Lian's supplementary defense this time seemed too elegant." Yu Jia said.
That's right, Yi Jianlian's defense is not motivated enough, but too refined.
Even if you make a foul, you have to be more aggressive!
What is the point of a foul? Since they all fouled, then absolutely don't give the opponent the opportunity to play two plus one.
Lin Yijia made a free throw and scored 3 points in the opening game.
Looking back, the Nets' first attack was a pick-and-roll between Harris and Yi Jianlian. Nets coach Frank also knew that there were many Chinese fans watching the game, so he deliberately arranged some tactics for Yi Jianlian.
It is a pity that although the Knicks power forward David Lee is not good at defending the inside, his movement speed can keep up with the pick and roll. After Harris and Yi Jianlian finished the pick and roll, Yi Jianlian pulled outside the three-point line and prepared to shoot. At that time, David Lee had already pounced on him.
Yi Jianlian's shot was not fast. He didn't have the confidence to shoot against David Lee, so he looked around and returned the ball to Harris.
This is a very bad habit. Even if he wants to pass the ball, Yi Jianlian should not directly return it to Harris like this, and his behavior of looking around will show that he is very poor in reading the game.
After getting the ball, Harris dribbled a step and made a pull-up mid-range shot.
When he missed, Lin Yi grabbed the rebound and made a fast break.
Brook Lopez still wants to pick melons from the back of his head to grab an offensive rebound, but unfortunately he jumps at about the same height as Lin Yi raised his hands and stepped on his feet. Want to grab a rebound from me?
Lin Yi dribbled the ball straight to the Nets' half court, and his teammates ran to the three-point line, leaving him the penalty area. Lin Yi directly took three steps from the three-point line!
bang!
0 to 5!
Lin Yilian scored five points!
"Lin Yi is in really good form tonight!" After all, they are all Chinese players, and Yi Jianlian is particularly clumsy in this attack and defense. Yu Jia can't say anything, so he can only praise Lin Yi.
"This dribble advance is too unsolvable. From Lin Yi grabbing the rebound to finishing the offense, it took only five or six seconds. The Nets' defense has not yet stabilized." Zhang Reasonable said.
"You're right, Director Zhang, it's rare for Brook Lopez to return to defense." Yu Jia said.
"He wants to go back to defense, but with his moving speed, he can't catch up with Lin Yi at all." Zhang Lili said.
Frank, the head coach of the Nets on the sidelines, also saw the clues. Just when he was thinking about whether to arrange Yi Jianlian to match Lin Yi, on the court, after Devin Harris broke into the inside line, he was nailed by Lin Yi. The board took a big risk.
After David Lee grabbed the rebound, he decisively handed it over to Lin Yi. Lin Yi dribbled and broke through again. Lopez couldn't keep up. The Knicks played more and less in the frontcourt. When there was a foul, Yi Jianlian didn't dare to stretch out his hand when he saw Lin Yi who was coming in. He could only watch Lin Yi easily pick the basket.
0 to 7!
Lin Yilian scored seven points.
The Nets fans at the scene have already begun to have some dissatisfaction.
The next attack of the Nets still failed. Fortunately, the rebound bounced out of bounds, and the Nets had time to return to defense.
The Knicks' transition offense played too well for the Nets to despair.
Lopez really can't run.
Lopez: ╮(﹀_﹀)╭
However, the Knicks' half-court offense also disappointed the Nets. Lin Yi made a step with his left hand, scaring Brook Lopez to take a big step back.
Lin Yi himself is also happy, am I so scary?
From beyond the three-point line, looking at Brook Lopez who took a big step back from the defensive distance, Lin Yi kicked his legs, tightened his stomach, stayed in the air, and shook his wrists!
Swish!
The recent three-point training was worthwhile, and Lin Yi felt his hands were burning hot.
0 to 10, the Nets couldn't take it anymore, and head coach Frank called a timeout in a hurry.
Is it okay to let Lin Yi continue to show off like this? This first quarter only played more than 2 minutes!
There were bursts of boos from the fans at the scene. The fans in New Jersey were usually ridiculed as country fans by New York fans. Naturally, they didn't want to see the team being blown away by the Knicks.
"I can't guard him." On the bench of the Nets, Brook Lopez said very frankly to coach Frank, but if Lin Yi was his teammate, he would definitely slap Da Luo with a backhand.
How can he be honest, he wants to play tricks!
If the game continues like this, Brook Lopez will be blown away by Lin Yi in this game. After the game, the media will definitely complain. Brook Lopez thinks very simply and throws the blame away. Usually it only takes 6 minutes to play, and he can just run back and forth in these few minutes, and he will explode again when Lin Yi goes down to rest.
Frank, the head coach of the Nets, is also an honest person. Since you said that you can't defend, let Yi Jianlian defend. Ah Lian is more honest, nodded and said nothing.
The game continued, and the Nets scored a goal. Yi Jianlian hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle. contributed by Chinese players.
"Oh? It seems that the Nets are planning to use the United Arab Emirates to defend against Lin Yi." Yu Jia said.
"Let's see, Lin Yi dribbles, Lin Yi breaks through, ouch, scored..." Zhang Lili touched his head, it seems that Lin Yi is going to get a high score tonight?
No one on the Nets can guard him!
In the first six minutes of the first quarter, Lin Yi contributed 10 of the Knicks' 12 shots. He made 7 of 10 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 1 of 1 free throws. Got 17 points.
It was finally time for substitutions. Nets coach Frank finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Yi continued to play like this, Frank was really afraid that they would become the background board.
But wait, the Knicks didn't mean to make a substitution?
For the Knicks, Chris Duhon replaced Larry Hughes, and Harrington replaced David Lee. The Knicks' lineup became one big and four small, and Lin Yi was still on the court.
Brook Lopez also widened his eyes. So far in the game, he has scored 2 points and 1 rebound. The statistics are not as good as Yi Jianlian who scored 5 points and 4 rebounds. If he keeps running like this, Brook Lopez feels After the first quarter, he can apply for a rest!
Brook Lopez was depressed and didn't know what to do.
