Chapter 109 How About We Take Anthony...
After receiving Lin Ying's pass, Iverson made a fast break layup and scored.
8 to 14!
In the blink of an eye, the Nuggets have narrowed the point difference to 6 points!
Many Nuggets fans at the scene were high.
You help the team chase points continuously when you come up, and you still say that you are not eukaryotic? !
Adelman got up from the bench and signaled new tactics to the team.
Lin Ying could tell the meaning of that hand shape at a glance.
High series.
But although I guessed it, it was really not easy to guard against.
Because Yao Ming is not Hibbert, his mid-range ability is excellent, and his passing ability is also very strong.
It is impossible for Lin Ying to shrink under the basket, and it is even more impossible for Lin Ying to attack Yao Ming.
Can only be man-to-man.
McGrady ran back and threw Smith away and cut to the basket. Yao Ming made a precise feed, and he caught the ball and took off.
Because Hayes didn't have the ability to shoot, Lin Ying shrank to the basket ahead of time and saw McGrady come over and straighten his hands.
He doesn't want to be dunked by McGrady.
However, McGrady fully demonstrated his physical talent, and a sideways dodge lever in the air sent the ball into the basket.
The white horse spear floats like a poem, invincible in youth.
This ball has the charm of McGrady's peak.
8 to 16.
The point difference returned to 8 points.
The Rockets played 7 games and won 6 games. It is not easy to chase points under their hands.
Iverson took the ball to the front court and glanced at Lin Ying. Lin Ying made the same gesture, and then continued to settle in the bottom corner.
A tactic can work, there is no reason to actively adjust.
Iverson also continued to walk to Nene's side.
This time Yao Ming retreated to the basket early, and Iverson saw it and immediately made a mid-range jumper.
"Shua!"
Basketball hollow drop pocket.
Iverson scored consecutively!
After his mentality changed, his touch came back!
"Defend! Defend!"
The team performed brilliantly during this period, and the fans' emotions finally rose!
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the Rockets did not have a chance for a wave of tactical moves.
The Nuggets' defense also played out!
There was a hint of excitement in Carl's eyes.
Finally!
Moreover, Yao Ming was also a little anxious as the attack time passed.
Lin Ying suddenly double-teamed again!
"Snapped!"
The ball in Yao Ming's hand was poked away.
But before Lin Ying could control the ball again, Hayes reacted quickly and fell to the ground.
There was a chaotic scramble for the floorball, before Hayes dumped the ball to Tracy McGrady.
McGrady shook Smith away, then turned around and made a three-point line!
With so little left in the Rockets' offense, it was basically a quasi-buzzer.
"Shua!"
But with a signature scissor kick, McGrady threw the ball in!
The cheers at the scene stopped abruptly.
McGrady is in really good shape this season!
Moreover, the NBA game is really an instant thing. If Hayes doesn't get the ball, the Nuggets will immediately launch another wave of defensive counterattacks.
but now.
10 to 19!
The point difference returned to 9 points in a blink of an eye!
The pressure that had just been released came back again.
This Rockets team was able to achieve 22 consecutive victories, the second in history at that time, in the absence of Yao Mai. It is really strong!
Iverson holds the ball, and the Nuggets still play horns!
This time McGrady on the weak side shrinks in.
Iverson passed the ball to Smith in the corner.
He is playing extremely reasonable right now!
Smith received the ball from the corner for a three-pointer.
The rhythm of the ball is very coherent.
"when!"
But it was a little short!
He forgot to bring a knife!
Both sides were going to the basket to close the rebound, but the ball was a long rebound, and Iverson got the ball again in the end!
With a height of less than 1.8 meters with bare feet, Iverson has averaged nearly 4 rebounds per game in his career, relying on his sense of rebounding.
Then, he passed it on again!
This time he passed the ball to the diagonal 45-degree three-point line!
Over there, Lin Ying quickly retreated to defend the Rockets' fast break after seeing Smith's shot, and just moved from the bottom corner to a forty-five-degree angle.
The timing of Iverson's pass was just right!
This is also fundamentally different from the previous pass to Smith.
The front is playing tactics, and anyone can pass the simplest breakthrough ball.
But for this ball, Iverson was obviously looking for Lin Ying when he got the board.
In the Spurs battle, Lin Ying completely won Iverson's trust!
Lin Ying made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
The fans at the scene held their breath suddenly.
Yao Ming has already locked his position at the basket, and Battier and Hayes have also found a predictable spot at the free throw line.
If this goal is not scored, there is a high probability that the Rockets will play a defensive counterattack!
If they score, with a double-digit point difference, Karl may have to be forced to call a timeout!
"Shua!"
There was a crisp sound of entering the net.
Lin Ying seized the opportunity!
"Lin Ying has a super invincible heart!"
Su Qun was excited at the CCTV live broadcast seat watching the game.
He knows the ball.
Although Lin Ying's statistics are not very dazzling, he knows that it is determined by his tactical status and number of shots.
Looking at the problem from the details, Lin Ying's ability to seize opportunities is very strong!
When Iverson retreated, he also took the initiative to find Lin Ying and gave him a high five.
"I said so."
Iverson said with a smile after the high-five.
Naturally, he was referring to the phrase "We are originally the same kind of people" that he said before.
Only if the psychological quality passes the test, can such a chance ball be thrown in.
The interesting thing is that the on-site photographer gave Anthony a shot on the sidelines at this time.
The situation on the court has been back and forth from the one-sided opening to the present. This is really embarrassing for whoever is not present!
Anthony frowned slightly, and the photographer immediately cut the camera away.
Tracy McGrady and Shane Battier's "split", after receiving a pass from Yao Ming, shook for a while and pointed to Smith again, and made a foul on Smith!
McGrady's two free throw opportunities.
At this moment, Karl called Lin Ying to the sidelines.
After listening to what Carl said, Lin Ying knew that her most difficult task tonight was coming.
McGrady is in good shape now, and he is going to block the hole.
On the court, McGrady made two free throws and scored 8 points in a row, which also helped the Rockets maintain an 8-point lead.
This period of stalemate, every round is critical.
Iverson missed a shot in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound.
The Rockets have another chance to widen the point difference to double digits.
McGrady wanted to pass the ball. After raising his left hand and making a tactical gesture, he dribbled the ball and pushed forward.
This is because I feel that I am in a good state, and I am ready to do a few more.
But after he advanced to the front court, he showed a surprised look.
Because he discovered that the Nuggets had switched defenses during their retreat, and the person defending him became Lin Ying!
Even the expression you can read from McGrady's face is: What the hell are you doing to defend me? !
Don't be surprised, just like Hayes would joke about Lin Ying before the game.
Although Lin Ying and Lin Ying had met each other before entering the NBA, but Lin Ying's performance of hitting the Spurs, elbowing Horry and boxing Bowen, as a player, he was afraid!
Just like Artest, after the Palace of Auburn Hills, few people dared to confront him.
Of course, Lin Ying didn't think about it that much, he was thinking about how to defend against McGrady.
With a difference of 8 points, double digits cannot be prevented.
McGrady hesitated for a moment, and chose to hit the high post.
I have finished all my tactical gestures, and it would be too embarrassing not to play.
McGrady's passing ability is very strong, and the Nuggets dare not double-team casually.
One-on-one rounds.
Lin Ying still had a lot of confidence at this time.
His biggest disadvantage in defending McGrady is his speed. If McGrady attacks face-to-face, he is really not very good at defending.
After all, McGrady's first step is notoriously fast.
But as long as he doesn't lose his position easily if he is on the back frame, he can still have a chance without making small moves.
McGrady hit the back twice, feeling that his strength was not taking advantage, so he turned around and made a fake move.
His fake movements were very realistic, but Lin Ying didn't hesitate.
After McGrady turned around, he looked at the frame one after another, even with a hint of raising his hand.
Lin Ying stared fixedly at Mai Di's shoulder, still unmoved.
McGrady felt that he might have overestimated Lin Ying's defensive response. After all, he was playing against a rookie!
In the next step, he turned directly and broke through from the baseline to the basket.
He turned around quickly, but Lin Ying had already hung someone on him, not giving him a chance to speed up.
The two came to the three-second zone during the confrontation, and McGrady didn't have a good shot.
And it was a little uncomfortable being pressed by Lin Ying all the time.
One thing that has to be mentioned is his back injury, which has plagued him since his second season with the Rockets.
As he gets older, it affects him a lot.
Although he is in hot form this season, most of his points have been shot.
If this was the period of the Magic, or his first season with the Rockets, he would have gotten rid of Lin Ying with an emergency stop, turning around and falling back.
But it's a bit difficult for him now.
He finally... rested his elbow.
In the past, he didn't bother to use the movements at all, but now he doesn't care so much.
Lin Ying was also taken aback.
In his impression, McGrady played very cleanly because of his burst of talent.
It seems that people are middle-aged and can't help themselves.
However, McGrady's gesture reassured him. Originally, he felt that it was a bit unfair to use small actions against McGrady. After all, Yao Ming's teammate and Xiaoshuai idol.
But McGrady has used it himself, so there is no need to be polite.
His elbow was directly on McGrady's elbow.
The two went up and down, attacking and defending.
McGrady didn't expect Lin Ying to know small tricks, and now that he had reached the basket, he had no choice but to force his shot.
The two people are now like a Wudang vertical ladder, they are both going up through each other's body.
In the end, McGrady straightened his arm for a throw.
He is about 2.03 meters tall with bare feet and has a wingspan of 2.18 meters. He is very close to Lin Ying in size.
But Lin Ying's elbow was pressing on him, so the height was naturally a little higher.
And Lin Ying was really smart, he knew that his bounce was not good, and he was already heading towards the ball in McGrady's hand before he fell.
It's a pity that he is not the peak Mai, and he can't do anything every minute by pulling the bar in the air to dodge a layup.
"Snapped!"
Lin Ying photographed McGrady's shot!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Lin Ying actually defended one-on-one, and even blocked McGrady!
McGrady is in a hot state right now!
And this racket was picked up by Iverson after it went out.
Iverson flicked the ball straight forward.
After landing, Lin Ying lowered her head and dashed forward two steps to reach the ball.
Then, it was him galloping alone on the Hulun Buir Prairie.
His speed is actually not slow at all. During the joint trial training, he sprinted 3.29 in the 3/4 half, and his weight gain was slightly slower, but not much slower.
Amidst the cheers of the surrounding fans, Lin Ying rushed to the frontcourt and performed a one-armed tomahawk dunk.
Well, this is already the limit of his bounce now.
The long arm is still useful when buckling.
If you want to perform a slam dunk, you have to practice more bounce.
But enough is enough!
The moment he smashed the ball into the rim, the Pepsi Center was filled with cheers from Denver fans.
Defensively block shots, speed up attack and dunk, you are the top five shots today! Denver's eukaryote, Lin Huang!
And the Nuggets were about to start. After Yao Ming's mid-range shot went wide, the Nuggets made another defensive counterattack, and Smith followed up with a layup.
17 to 21!
The Nuggets narrowed the point difference to 4 points!
There are still 2 minutes before the end of the first quarter, and they have a chance to tie or even overtake the score before that!
At this time, there are substitutions on both sides.
Yao Ming, Shane Battier, and Alston were all off the Rockets, and Scola, Bunche Wells, and Francis came up.
On the Nuggets side, Atkins, Najera and Kleiza came up and replaced Iverson, Nene and Martin.
McGrady went to the front court and continued to ask for the ball.
And this time he attacked face-to-face.
Lin Ying was a little helpless, Mai Di's first step was too fast.
Maybe only by facing him can you feel that kind of fast.
And the key point is that he has big steps, one step equals the other's two steps, and he wiped over him with ease.
But Lin Ying didn't give up, she chased after him, and jumped up the moment McGrady got up to make a layup.
Come on, Antetokounmpo blocks Anthony 2.0!
Well, he thought too much.
McGrady felt Lin Ying's block behind him, and after jumping up, a drift lever in the air switched to the right side of the basket and easily scored.
The back injury only affected his strength, not his jumping.
In history, McGrady's fast break was blocked by the basket not because of a back injury, but a knee injury.
Sure enough, it's not that easy to guard against.
However, Lin Ying didn't fluctuate in her mentality just because she didn't defend the ball.
Even McGrady, who was in the Pistons and Eagles period, was not easy to defend.
Looking back, Lin Ying and Smith began to play 91 cooperation.
Smith ran back to throw off Francis, and was led by Lin Ying's lob to take off. It was a folding buckle in the air.gif!
Whistles rang out everywhere.
After playing so many games, they have already discovered that Lin Ying is the key for Smith to unlock the Jordan mode!
Carl leaned on the chair at this time and was very relaxed.
Lin Ying's lob pass just now was fast and accurate, and she was completely unaffected by the defensive failure. This kind of psychological quality is really rare.
In the last tens of seconds of the first quarter, McGrady attacked Lin Ying face-to-face again.
Lin Ying made a small move this time, but just as Yao Ming expected before the game, he was taken care of by the referee and called a foul directly.
McGrady made two free throws.
Fortunately, Smith brought a knife in the last attack, and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer after receiving a pass from Lin Ying.
20 to 23.
The Nuggets entered the intersection timeout with a 3-point deficit.
In other words, the Nuggets chased back by 7 points after Lin Ying played!
Judging from the cheers from the fans when he left the field, Denver fans should love him to death.
Back in the second quarter, Karl replaced Lin Ying with Anthony.
This wave of substitutions is very interesting, because not letting Lin Ying play the first few minutes of the second quarter means letting him play the last few minutes!
That is usually the time for the starters to play!
And using Anthony to start the second quarter, there is even a chance for the Nuggets to take the lead into the second half of the quarter, when the main players come back for another wave...
Well, when Carl didn't say it.
Anthony was left in the cold for most of the quarter, and he had a chat with Carl about his life. The desire to attack is back, but the touch has not returned!
He led the team to play more than 3 minutes, 23 to 30.
Good guy, don't say anything about being ahead, the point difference has been widened even more!
The fans at the scene looked at this big head.
Originally, any fake leader or real leader was just a joke.
But Anthony's performance is really...
Otherwise, let's trade Melon!
