Chapter 248: 50 Shots, Are You Kidding Me? No, I'm Serious!
() In the first quarter of the game, Lin Yi took a 5-minute rest.
The Celtics failed to open the score, because the Knicks cut Rondo and Perkins as long as they saw that the momentum was wrong.
Rondo is okay, free throws are basically guaranteed to be one of two free throws.
But Perkins was stunned. You know, although Perkins's free throws are already considered good among such brutal black big centers, he made about 65 free throws in the playoffs in the first two seasons. Rate.
But Lin Yi knows that Perkins' free throws are actually very unstable. The reason for his high free throw percentage is because he takes few shots. If you cut him like Howard, he will not be much better.
As a result, Perkins really missed two free throws, made one of two free throws, and missed two free throws.
Rivers standing on the sidelines looked helpless. Rivers is very good at giving players chicken soup for the soul. Many of his speeches at critical moments are absolutely full-score compositions. This green army is a bunch of passionate old men, Rivers It is easy to boost the morale of the team after Stone is sensational.
But how do you sensationalize free throws?
And the most important thing is that Rivers also suffered from paranoia. He didn't know what the Knicks wanted to do. Tonight, Lin Yi started playing very tough, but after more than four minutes of being tough, he went down to rest.
In Rivers' view, this is extremely unreasonable!
It's like I took off my pants and they're gone
And the more the Knicks confuse him, the less Rivers dares to make random substitutions!
Because the Celtics still maintain the lead now, Rivers feels that the Knicks team is no longer an incomprehensible problem. Be sure to avoid this Knicks team as much as possible.
With 2 minutes left in the first quarter of 19 to 24, Lin Yi went into battle again.
Milicic and Dodge Norris did a good job tonight. They knew that they were going up to send fouls and hold the Celtics. The task was simple and there was no psychological burden.
"Lin is back on the court now, Charles, the Knicks can't win the ball just by slashing tactics, the Celtics defended very well tonight, and the Knicks also fell into a scoring drought." Kenny Smith said.
"Well, let's see how the Knicks will attack after Lin comes back!" Barkley said.
The Knicks' offense tonight is not complicated, it is to single Lin Yi.
The current Garnett's physical fitness is not as good as the peak, and Lin Yiman is back on the court, so naturally he will start to consume these old men.
It's a pity that there is no such organization as the Grandpa Protection Association, otherwise we can help the Green Army with the Grandpa Protection Association.
In an interview before the game, Lin Yi said that he would take 50 shots. From the reporter's point of view, Lin Yi was joking, but from the perspective of the Knicks, Lin Yi was not joking.
The Celtics' defense seems to target and limit Lin Yi, but in fact their real focus is to defend against other Knicks players.
Learning from a fall, Lin Yike will not play on the outside like in the first game. In the opening game, he tested the Celtics' defensive strength tonight through a wave of strong attacks. I have to say that the Celtics' defensive system is really good. Very good, there are three seconds of defense, so the kind of zone defense where the big man stands dead in the paint is impossible.
The reason why the Green Army's zone defense can ensure that the players facing Lin Yi will not lose their positions is due to the rotation after the pick-and-roll.
However, this kind of rotation requires a lot of lateral movement to complete. For these old guys, it is not a matter of Lin Yi rushing in, but it will definitely make their blood bar drop rapidly.
To ensure defense, the Celtics have to focus on offense. That's right, the Knicks' tactics tonight are extremely simple: one for three.
Use Lin Yilai to attack wildly to consume the Celtics' Big Three!
Tonight is Lin Unlimited Singles Yi!
On the court, Lin Yi was doing rssr on the outside, and Garnett, who was guarding him, lost his focus. No matter how iron-blooded and brutal the Wolf King was, he couldn't reach Lin Yi, what could he do?
Lin Yi broke into the inside at an instant speed, and the Celtics also quickly completed the rotation. It is your uncle who is going to make up for it!
Pierce slid sideways, and Lin Yi was about to bump into Pierce!
But Lin Yi still didn't slow down!
His dribbling right hand made a fake move towards the inside, but in fact Mingxiu made a secret move along the plank road, and Lin Yi finally walked outside, a clean n &p;p;!
In the exclamation of the North Shore Garden Arena, Lin Yi scored two points for the Knicks after returning handsomely!
21 to 24!
"Oh! My God, is he really a center?" Kenny Smith covered his face.
"Even some small forwards can't dribble as smoothly as he does?" Barkley felt like he was going to kneel to Lin Yi.
Although the players of the Green Army will not take this point loss to heart, the hearts of these veterans are also turbulent.
This kid is really not so flexible!
It's fine if he's a guard.
But he is a big man of 221 cm!
Looking back, Rondo and Garnett's pick-and-roll, Ron's guidance didn't feel good tonight, and he shot twice after being emptied, but tonight, the basket at the North Shore Garden Arena loved Rondo's shooting, bang bang bang bang , very pleasing to the ear.
So this time Rondo chose to pass the ball after the pick-and-roll, a big jumper from Garnett!
Lin Yi stretched out his hand to interfere with Garnett, the basketball hit the basket, Garnett hammered his chest regretfully, even if he didn't make it, tonight's wolf king iron blood is still there!
David Lee grabbed the rebound and handed the ball directly to Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn't intend to reason with these old men, so he dribbled the ball and strode forward. Garnett's eyes widened, as if he wanted to use his momentum to drive Lin Yi away. Yi, but Lin Yi is a stunned young man with a strong head!
Iron blood versus brutality!
Lin Yi leaned on Garnett and rushed into the penalty area. Just when Garnett was about to give Lin Yi a blood cap, Lin Yi suddenly leaned against him and raised his hands high.
Fuck!
This kid actually took the initiative to touch me with his hand?
As soon as Garnett landed, he heard the referee whistle. The wolf king looked at the referee in disbelief and protested to the referee.
It's a pity that the referee ignored him and still resolutely called a foul.
Lin Yi laughed at the two free throws amid boos all over the court.
23 to 24!
The Knicks are eroding the difference between the two teams.
"Lin's desire to attack tonight is really strong." Kenny Smith said.
Barkley had the same feeling. He hurriedly checked the statistics and found that Lin Yi had already taken 7 shots in the first quarter tonight.
Barkley suddenly had an inexplicable premonition in his heart.
He said before this small game that he would take 50 shots in this game. Could it be serious?
In the last attack of the Celtics in the first quarter, the Knicks once again defended against the Celtics' offense. Looking back, it was still a single from Lin Yi. Garnett was extremely uncomfortable defending Lin Yi. Garnett really wanted to Said to Lin Yi: Come on! Just positive!
Then Lin Yi: No, fighting and retreating is my style!
Lin Yixuan took a step, tricked Garnett, then took a step back and directly shot a three-pointer!
bang!
It's a pity that he failed to make a hit. At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed 23 to 24.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Yi brought Harrington, Gallinari, Belinelli, and Louis Williams to the field.
For the Celtics, Rivers struggled for a while and then replaced Perkins with Rasheed Wallace, and then replaced Allen with Allen, but the new Allen was called Tony Lun.
Pierce, Rondo and Garnett will remain on the floor.
The wolf king originally wanted to take the initiative to apply for a rest, after all Lin Yi has been leading him to run, but looking at the trusting eyes of his teammates and Rivers' chicken soup for the soul: "Kevin, you are our soul! You are our leader!"
Garnett is no longer confused.
Garnett also beat his chest and stomped his feet to boost his morale when he was on the court.
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched slightly, isn't it?
So when the Celtics first attacked in the second quarter, Rondo hadn't dribbled the ball for half court, and Lin Yi slapped the floor hard with both hands!
Although this season may not touch the floor of the Eastern Conference finals, but now it is also a semifinal!
After Lin Yi took three shots, he shouted at his teammates: "Defend!!"
The Knicks team got 10086 morale!
Garnett was dumbfounded immediately, what the hell! This kid looks a little cruel!
As soon as the second quarter came up, Garnett played in the low post. Although the wolf king in his later years dropped a lot, his strength was correspondingly much better than his youth. Lin Yi's body shape is very similar to Garnett, don't you Said that the low-level hand-to-hand combat between these two people was really quite intense, and it was almost the same.
Lin Yi yelled: Let's decide the outcome! For cruelty!
Garnett roared: Let's fight it out! For iron and blood!
It's a pity that O'Neal was busy teaching Howard, and Olajuwon didn't watch the game, otherwise the two would be pissed off by Lin Yi and Garnett.
How cruel is this?
Aren't you both fighting and retreating?
I saw Garnett dodge Lin Yi's block, turned around and hooked the ball to the left to score the ball.
Lin Yi sighed with great regret: "As expected of being the king of iron and blood, you are too iron and blood!"
Garnett also said with emotion: "As expected of the most brutal rookie, it is indeed cruel!"
Inexplicably, both Lin Yi and Garnett felt like heroes cherishing heroes.
Is this the so-called sympathy?
It's the Knicks' turn to attack, and it's Lin Yi again. Kenny Smith counted it. This is Lin Yi's ninth single tonight
Lin Yi took a step back, Garnett didn't keep up, Lin Yi simply shot directly, but the hoops at the North Shore Garden Arena love Lin Yi so much!
bang!
Fortunately, Harrington was faster than Rasheed Wallace. Harrington grabbed an offensive rebound and successfully made up for Lin Yi.
25 to 26, the Knicks trailed by one point.
At this time, Rivers, the coach of the Celtics on the sidelines, couldn't help but slander: "Could it be that he really wants to take fifty shots?"
Rivers also saw the Knicks' tactics, which was to single Lin Yi.
Are you not our role players?
Then we'll keep calling Lin Yi.
But Rivers obviously didn't understand the real purpose of the Knicks playing like this.
The Knicks' third assistant coach, Donaldson, has a more accurate statistic on his laptop at this time: running distance.
Whether it's Pierce or Garnett, or Ray Allen, their running distance tonight is far greater than before.
And the most important thing is that Pierce retreated a few times in the second quarter and has already started walking back to halftime.
You must know that the immediate consumption of basketball is a great sport. The Knicks are trying to find a way to let the veterans of the Celtics follow them back and forth on both ends of the offense and defense!
High-intensity rotation defense is not without cost!
The reason why the Rockets hit 27 irons in a row in the future is related to the fact that they put in too much physical energy in defense, which affected the offensive feel.
Of course, Lin Yi would not keep shooting. When there were 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Rivers requested the second timeout of the game in this quarter.
At this time, Lin Yi's shots had already reached 18 times.
Although Lin Yi only hit 7 goals, it is obvious that Lin Yi, who got a rest in the first quarter, is in a good mental state at this time.
But on the Celtics side, although the Celtics still maintained a 43-40 lead, when Garnett returned to the bench, Rivers looked at Garnett who was panting heavily, and he seemed to be understand what
