Chapter 414 The Leader Is Here to Do This!

In this round of finals, Carlisle really felt that he was being targeted by D'Antoni everywhere.

Tonight, in order to avoid the Knicks going big as soon as they come up, Carlisle specially arranged for Deshaun Stevenson to start because Stevenson's defense is better than Ellis.

But the Knicks got off to a regular start tonight.

Because D'Antoni knows very well that the same routine is used too much, and the opponent will get used to your style of play. Lao De's idea coincides with Lin Yi's. The two masters and apprentices believe that the G5 game must not give the Mavericks anything. Chance.

The Knicks' surprise soldiers may have disrupted the original deployment and arrangement of the Mavericks, but just as Lin Yi predicted, the difficulty of this round of the series is quite high.

It is possible for the two teams to bite anyone, and the Knicks must not give the Mavericks a chance to breathe.

The Mavericks players also know very well that at this point in the finals, they can only play with their lives.

What is friendship first, competition second, and some are just defenses that are more intense than before.

Lin Yi's first attack was unsuccessful. Marion gave him enough physical strength, and Okafor also tried his best to defend him. The elbows of the two hunks on the left and the right were blocked, and the passing angle was blocked. Lin Yi forced a layup and missed.

Lin Yi thought it was a matter of the referee's standards at first, but he soon discovered that tonight's referee had a tendency to hand over the outcome of the game to both sides. As long as the action was not malicious or too big, they would resolutely not blow the whistle.

Because Ji Bugong also had a strong collision with Billups in the air during the layup, and the sound of the muscles colliding was frightening.

After Kidd failed to make a layup, he complained to the referee a few words, but tonight's referees seem to be in a state of meditation, can't hear, can't hear!

As a result, the Mavericks and the Knicks finished the first two minutes of the finals G5 game, and the score was still zero to zero.

This made the cheeks of those experts and celebrities who said that this round of finals gave up defense and only pursued offense, and the intensity of confrontation dropped a little bit.

In fact, whether it is the Eastern Conference finals that the Knicks played before or this finals, the intensity is really not low.

In the finals, the Mavericks and Knicks seemed to focus more on tactics, but in fact, every attack of Lin Yi was fighting in the muscle jungle.

In the G5 game, such intensity was pushed to a desperate situation by the Mavericks, and the Knicks were eager to win the cup after 38 years, completely reaching the peak.

Even Nuo Tianwang was rarely open, and Lin Yi's mid-range shot after getting rid of the defender failed to hit.

Being too focused on defense can easily affect the feel of shooting. You must know that in this round of finals, it is quite rare for Lin Yi to maintain a 50% shooting rate.

With 8 minutes and 57 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Lin Yi finally scored for the Knicks. He suddenly accelerated from the outside line, and Marion didn't have time to physically confront Lin Yi this time to force Lin Yi to slow down... Lin Yi, who broke into the inside line and attracted the defense, successfully completed a dodge in the air.

His huge body seemed to be still in the air, and the Mavericks' defense interfered with his passing line, but Lin Yi did not deter him.

He dodged Okafor in the air, turned 180 degrees like a tornado, then pulled the bar and scored a layup!

2 to 0!

The Knicks broke the deadlock and took the lead!

"This is definitely a performance of the five best balls. We often say that using strength to overcome cleverness, four or two can make a difference. Lin Yi's flexibility and coordination and this sense of stagnation in the air are simply dancing in the air!"

Director Zhang Lili didn't have time to speak this time, and Yu Jia preemptively blew a wave of Lin Yi.

There was also a low cry of surprise at the American Airlines Center Stadium... In the regular season or the playoffs, it would be surprising that Lin Yi could play such a performance, but it would definitely not surprise anyone.

But, this is the finals!

Nowitzki glanced at Lin Yi. The old driver did not expect that this little guy would be the first to calm down on the court after the tension at the beginning.

The "old driver" felt that he seemed to be carrying too much, so after taking a deep breath,

Nowitzki's expression finally relaxed.

The Mavericks' first offense was scored by Nuo Tianwang.

When the soft touch broke through the shackles brought by the defensive strength, the basketball successfully fell into the net with a beautiful arc.

2 to 2 tie!

Barkley said with emotion: "Even if this round of finals ends tonight, I think the quality of this round of finals will definitely rank among the top five in my mind."

Kenny Smith didn't add trouble to Barkley. In the past, he would definitely have to ask Barkley which of the other four finals ranked in the top five.

"It's true, Charles, but the NBA is like this, and only one team is destined to win the championship." Kenny Smith said.

On the court, Billups didn't find a suitable opportunity for the Knicks' offense. Lin Yi decisively came out to ask for the ball, and Marion tried to interfere with Lin Yi's receiving the ball by going around.

It's a pity that the old hacker couldn't stop Lin Yi from receiving Billups' kickback. Lin Yi found that even this pass from "Big Heart" was not as comfortable as usual.

With the increasing intensity of this game, the more eager the two sides are to win, the players on both sides will inevitably make some mistakes or deformed movements.

After Lin Yi successfully caught the ball, his body turned to Marion. His right hand grabbed the ball with one hand, and Marion couldn't steal it even if he wanted to.

Dang, dang, swish!

The moment Marion was panting, Lin Yi suddenly dribbled the ball and took a step to the left, then his face turned red.

The basketball bounced twice on the rim and fell into the net.

4 to 2!

As a leader, Lin Yi knew that this was the time for him to stand up, whether the goal was scored or not, he had to stand up.

Because you don't play, your teammates obviously don't know how to play now.

When tactics and touch were limited, Lin Yi had to keep his teammates steady, because he didn't worry that the Knicks would get lost throughout the game.

When his teammates feel good, Lin Yi will not compete with them for the limelight, instead he will contribute to the flames and retreat behind the scenes.

So this is why even if Lin Yi took 30 shots, his teammates would not have any objections, because Lin Yi didn't just shoot for the sake of shooting.

Nowitzki and Lin Yi made the same choice. In this G5 match, in this stalemate, the comparison is who can defend the core of the two sides until the teammates bloom first and hit a climax.

Swish——!

Nowitzki also entered, 4 to 4 tie.

"The Knicks' offense is still for Lin Yi." Yu Jia said.

"Tonight, both sides will go to the bayonet to fight directly. The competition is who can bite the game. The Knicks and the Mavericks are both single-core teams. What to watch is the performance of Lin Yi and Nowitzki." Zhang Reasonable Said.

Boom, boom, boom.

Marion, with a low center of gravity, felt that his eyes were going to blur. Every time Lin Yi dribbled the ball, he was actually licking blood on the tip of the knife, but Marion just didn't dare to intercept.

In fact, this is what Popovich admires most about Lin Yi.

He does have the same attributes as Duncan.

On the field, Billups's eyes suddenly lit up. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the bullfight on the other side of the basketball court... After Lin Yi changed his center of gravity for the third time, he looked at Marion's pair of With trembling old legs, Billups muttered to himself: "What a wonderful worship!"

The old hacker couldn't keep up with Lin Yi's pace.

Lin Yi broke into the penalty area, forced a layup against Okafor and scored!

In this G5, the Mavericks can't afford to lose, but for the Knicks, they can't afford to lose either.

The future is too far away, Lin Yi only wants the present.

Like Kobe said, someone has to win, why can't it be me?

After Nowitzki once again tied the score for the Mavericks independently with the Golden Rooster, the Knicks took the lead in requesting a timeout.

O'Neill handed the towel to Lin Yi, and at the same time began to twist his neck.

On the other side of the bench, Mavericks coach Carlisle, who is explaining how to play next, knows that the Knicks' death five is coming again!
