Chapter 188 Take the Lead in Attacking!

But at this moment, a conflict broke out on the field.

Nene and Bynum got into a tangle of pushing and shoving.

Because the moment Lin Ying was pushed away, his attention was focused on adjusting his shooting hand. This time, he landed on his back and was still lying there without moving.

The conflicting parties were persuaded to leave.

Lin Ying was also helped to the bench.

His condition doesn't look very good, and the team doctor is communicating with him.

Lakers bench, Kobe...

Reprimanding Bynum!

This scene is the first time.

Because the management valued Bynum very much, even if Kobe had any opinions, he basically kept it to himself.

Not to mention during the game.

But Bynum's behavior just now really pissed him off.

First, this behavior is really stupid.

Since Jackson has arranged such defensive tactics, it means that overtime is one of the options.

But Bynum's foul directly gave the Nuggets a chance to kill the game with free throws.

Not to mention, this foul may be upgraded to a foul.

Second, the person who was fouled was Lin Ying!

From the beginning of that "trial training", Kobe had a special regard for Lin Ying, and they became good friends after that.

Bynum treated no one evil criminal well, but Lin Ying.

Bynum was a little confused, and... turned his head and ignored it completely.

He was the one who didn't even want to hook up with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The referee finally gave a common foul.

There were boos at the scene, and O'Connor also went to the technical stage to protest.

But the referee did not change the penalty.

Because giving it to the criminal at this time is basically announcing that the Nuggets have won the game.

But at this time, there was a commotion on the Nuggets side.

It turned out that the team doctor confirmed Lin Ying's injury and prepared to send him back to the locker room.

But Lin Ying insisted on finishing the free throw.

Because according to the existing rules of the NBA, only when an injury occurs when a technical or flagrant foul occurs, the player on the team will designate a free throw.

If it is just a common foul and a player leaves the field injured, the opposing coach will designate a player on the bench to take a free throw.

If Petro is designated, it will basically default to missing the penalty and going to overtime.

Without his own Nuggets, the chance of winning in overtime will be very slim.

This is the same reason why Kobe had to take a free throw after rupturing his Achilles tendon in history.

"Let Lin go."

O'Connor made a decision.

As a coach who is familiar with the four classics, he still needs to make some decisions at critical moments.

The reason why he did this was simple, he knew Lin Ying well enough.

Lin Ying gritted his teeth and walked to the free throw line.

The place was filled with cheers from Denver fans.

At this time, Kobe came up to care about Lin Ying's situation.

After knowing that Lin Ying was injured, he turned to look at Bynum with a look that wanted to kill someone.

Lin Ying's opportunity to add penalties.

There was a stabbing pain in my back.

He took a deep breath, took aim, raised his hand, and took action.

An ordinary free throw already made him sweat profusely.

"Uh-huh!"

However, the muscle memory formed by tens of thousands of trainings still allowed him to make the free throw.

There are 1.5 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers called the final timeout.

Lin Ying was helped back to the sidelines by his teammates and did not leave the field immediately.

After the timeout, the Lakers made their final attack.

Kobe Bryant caught the ball and was flanked by a drifter. The ball was very difficult.

"Dang!"

Smash the basket and come out.

The scene suddenly burst into cheers from Denver fans.

Kobe Bryant scored 44 points in this game, and Lin Ying also scored 30 points.

At the end of this confrontation, Lin Ying finally acted "selfishly" and had the final say!

After Lin Yingye high-fived his teammates, he was finally helped out of the field by his teammates.

After the game, there is a series of inspections.

Soft tissue contusion of the back.

A piece of news that is not too good, but not too bad either.

The lack of structural damage means there will be no impact on his career.

But this requires rest, and theoretically he cannot play in the next game.

Lin Ying, of course, would not give in to theory.

He called Yang Shuyi over, and after returning home, he directly used the cryotherapy device.

Twenty minutes to warm up, three minutes to finish.

After the freezing is completed, let Yang Shuyi prick herself a few times.

He has to make it to the next game.

Yang Shuyi's acupuncture techniques have become very proficient after Su Feng and all the patients on Tang Tian's side.

Lin Ying lay there, and soon a white patch appeared on his back.

After the pricking was completed, Lin Ying lay down and talked with Yang Shuyi about the possibility of playing in the next game.

"Don't think too much, I won't be able to play in the next game. Whether it's cryotherapy or acupuncture, it only relieves symptoms."

"What happens next?"

"That depends on recovery. It's possible."

"Then let's get a massage, massage, and a full set!"

Yang Shuyi's face turned red.

Lin Ying's words are a bit ambiguous.

"How's your school team doing?"

Lin Ying also reacted and changed the topic.

With hard work, Yang Shuyi also played on the second team at the University of Denver.

Dreams are not something that can be realized easily. In addition to Lin Ying's hard work, he is also very talented.

Yang Shuyi is still a little behind in this aspect.

It's okay if it's in China, but it's more difficult here in the United States.

"I should be able to make the first team next year."

Yang Shuyi replied with a smile.

This is good news.

To herself, of course.

As for Lin Ying, if Yang Shuyi really plays in the NCAA, he will definitely have less time, and he may have to consider finding another physical therapist.

Especially after the injection, I saw a table of delicious food cooked by Yang Shuyi.

Just, there are hundreds of millions of points of confusion.

He is a physical therapist and also a chef!

His stomach protested.

…

In the end of G4, Bynum was only called for a common foul, but after the game, the league added a second-level flagrant foul and suspended him for one game and fined him $15,000.

Stern: I feel like my China market building shook.

Lin Ying was ultimately absent from the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

In this wave, both sides are missing one general.

At the end of the game, the Nuggets unexpectedly lost to the Lakers.

In fact, if you look at the data, you will find that although Bynum has grown up at this time, he is still too young.

Take this year's playoffs as an example, Bynum's average playing time was only 17 minutes per game, and his average data was only 6 points and 4 rebounds per game.

G4 Jackson took him up at the last moment to protect the inside.

More often than not, the Lakers' inside combination is Gasol and Odom.

Moreover, Odom's condition this year is obviously better than last season, especially after entering the playoffs, his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage exceeded 50%.

So missing Bynum is completely acceptable to the Lakers.

But without Lin Ying’s nuggets...

It’s hard to describe in one word!

Although the Nuggets and Lakers also played 2-4 in history, many situations are different now.

First of all, the Lakers have been working together for half a season longer than the same period in history and are stronger.

Secondly, the Nuggets' playing style is different from that in history. You suddenly take away an offensive core, which has a huge impact.

Then there's Karl's absence and Anthony's matchup disadvantage of not gaining weight.

Thousands of words condensed into one sentence: Lin Ying, we miss you!

Three days later, although Lin Ying's back injury had not yet recovered, he appeared on the starting lineup.

This wave is called Denver’s version of “Return of the King.”

The Nuggets' morale was greatly boosted, and they played super-high-quality performances on both ends of the offense and defense. The Nuggets narrowly defended the last home game of the series.

The two sides will usher in a tiebreaker!

Lin Ying scored a near-triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists despite being injured.

After the game, fans' evaluations of Lin Ying and Anthony were severely polarized on social media.

"It turns out that only Lin can lead the Nuggets to defeat the Lakers!"

"Melo really can't fight tough battles. I'm tired of seeing him pull out the ball!"

"It is said that Melo has rich offensive skills, why do I always see only three axes? He can't adapt at all, and he is far behind Lin!"

"Is the MOP of the strongest NCAA champion in history fake?" A comment from "Lin Ying Fans".

"Yeah, I almost forgot about this. Lin always plays the game in the correct way, and he has contributed a buzzer beater in the playoffs for two consecutive years!"

"Especially this year's buzzer beater, I saw him choose to fight by himself at the last moment. Not only is his technique, but also his mentality has grown a lot compared to last year!"

"It's time to ascend to the throne, Denver's King Lin!" A comment from "Lin Ying Fans".

"+1!"

"+2!"

"+10086!"

…

In a villa in Denver, Anthony dropped an iPhone 3.

…

Denver fans are eagerly looking forward to the tiebreaker.

To be able to push the Lakers, who had swept their opponents in the previous two rounds, to this point, the Nuggets are already full of expectations.

But this game was very... mysterious.

The reason why he is said to be mysterious is because Lin Ying's number of shots in the game dropped significantly compared to G6.

Anthony seems to keep trying to prove that he can, but the truth is...no.

Especially when the Lakers knew that he couldn't pass the ball, even when he had a good touch, he was severely restricted by double teams.

The results can be imagined.

Originally, the Nuggets were not as strong as the Lakers, and if they continued to struggle like this, the result would only be a big defeat.

In the garbage time of the last quarter, Lin Ying was sitting on the bench while Yang Shuyi was giving him a back massage.

After fighting continuously with injuries, his injuries tended to get worse, and he had to rest for a while before training in the offseason.

But compared to the pain on his back, the reluctance in his heart made him more uncomfortable.

They had a chance!

Billups was sitting next to the forest shadow.

He was unwilling to do so.

But turning to look at Lin Ying, he didn't know what to say.

Generally speaking, when he loses in the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, he should say something to encourage him.

But when the words came to his lips, he found that nothing was appropriate.

He even felt that this team would definitely experience a wave of turbulence in the summer.

The final whistle sounded and the two teams held a final handshake.

When Kobe and Lin Ying shook hands, they gave him a tight hug. After the hug, he cared about Lin Ying's injury for a while.

And in the end, he even comforted Lin Ying for a while:

"You're only in second grade."

Lin Ying nodded and said nothing.

He will be in third grade soon!

Lin Ying, Billups and O'Connor attended the post-game press conference.

Anthony went back directly after the game.

Fans asked a lot of questions at the press conference.

Regret and pity are the main themes.

"You almost beat the Lakers, are you going to come back next year?"

The reporter asked Lin Ying a question.

"No, we are far behind."

Lin Ying's answer immediately made the people below agitated.

He was not in the mood to deal with reporters at this time, to tell the truth.

Big scores sometimes give people the illusion that you can do it.

For example, in history, the Rockets and Lakers reached the tiebreaker without Yao Ming, but watching that series directly, the feeling is:

The Lakers played slowly and leisurely, and the Rockets tried their best to win a few games. Then as soon as the Lakers started to work hard, the game was over.

Even at the time, many fans felt that the Lakers were just trying to sell more tickets.

It's right to think about it. The Tianwangshan Lakers can win by 40 points in a tiebreaker game, and the tiebreaker ends the suspense at halftime. It's hard to think about it.

Although the Nuggets and Lakers series is not of this type, there are similarities.

Because the Nuggets suffered three major defeats in seven games.

This is the same as the previous analogy of Jindan Yuanying, there is a gap in strength.

Coupled with the fact that Anthony is a runaway horse, he is lucky to be able to win.

“Are you going to make a comeback next year?”

The reporter asked again.

Lin Ying said nothing.

This is not acquiescence, but his answer cannot be given here.

"Yes, we will, we are further ahead than last year."

Billups took the microphone and said with a smile.

…

"Lin, are you okay?"

After the press conference, Billups couldn't help but ask Lin Ying.

"Yes, it's okay. I'll be fine if I go back for physical therapy."

Lin Ying replied.

Billups was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say that was not what he was asking, but after thinking about it, he finally said with a smile:

"It's okay."

"Chauncy, when you finished your second year as a rookie, were you thinking about how to win a championship or how to get better opportunities?"

Lin Ying turned to Billups and asked.

"My experience is not of much reference value to you."

Billups did not answer directly.

He is also telling the truth.

As the third overall pick, he was traded during his rookie season and then changed to four teams in four years.

champion?

That kind of play was meaningless to him in the early stages of his career, because what he had to consider was how to survive in the league.

Moreover, he has rich experience, and of course he also knows what Lin Ying is asking him for now.

Lin Ying smiled bitterly, slightly disappointed, but understandable.

Although he gets along well with Billups, he is still different from Kobe Durant.

Seeing Lin Ying's reaction, Billups stopped, his eyes were sincere, and then he spoke:

"Lin, I can't give you any advice, but one thing I can be sure of is that you can become an excellent basketball player whether here or elsewhere."

Lin Ying was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

In fact, he had already made his decision.

By communicating with Billups, I wanted to be more sure that I made the right choice.

Although Billups didn't give a direct answer, he already got the answer he wanted.

…

"Where's Lin?"

In the locker room, Tony Allen couldn't help but ask when he saw that Lin Ying had not returned with Billups.

"It seems like there is some personal matter to deal with. I don't know the details. He didn't say anything."

Billups replied with a smile.

…

A day later, Anthony found Walken Dean.

"Lin and I, either he leaves or sends me away."

Anthony was tough.

When G6 was over, he knew he had to make a decision.

Otherwise, his status as the Nuggets boss will soon be lost.

Walken Dean looked at Anthony without speaking, with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?"

Anthony thought Dean Walken would be nervous, but he didn't expect such a reaction.

"Lin already looked for me yesterday."

Walken Dean said with a wry smile.

"Why is he looking for you?"

Anthony was puzzled.

"Just like you."

"same as me?"

Anthony looked shocked.

Walken Dean nodded.

He recalled yesterday's scene in his mind.

When Lin Ying said those words with firm eyes, his expression was the same as Anthony's at the moment.

"Mello and I, choose one."

Before Anthony, Lin Ying had already taken the lead in attacking!
