Chapter 561 Jordan and Pippen(1/2)
Too bad!
When he saw the referee's gesture, Anthony almost spit out a mouthful of salt soda.
He immediately made a gesture that was effective for scoring a goal.
Hey, that's obviously a hollow!
Don't talk about Anthony, because the ball did hit the net, and it felt very similar to a goal. Even the referee didn't understand it.
Finally, seeing that Anthony's eyes were extremely certain and he was following the principle of fairness in the game (referee: It's not that I'm not sure), the referees watched the replay video.
Through the replay, we can draw the conclusion that Anthony's shot... is indeed a no-nonsense move!
This time, all the fans at the scene were entertained.
Don’t you have a few points to make it in or not?
Anthony also felt a pain in his heart.
Originally it was only a matter known to a few people on the court, but now, the whole world knows that he missed the shot, and he thought he made it!
Fortunately, his experience with the Knicks in the past two years has made some changes in his personality, and his face has become thicker!
Otherwise, how do you think he, a star who considers himself to be on the same level as James, is able to immerse himself in collecting data and ignore the team's record?
If you are shameless, you are invincible!
So you can think that this is not because he cannot remember what happened in the Knicks, but because he selectively forgets.
This may not be a bad thing for him, after all, he says goodbye to all his worries...
It's just that he can shamelessly not care about his missed three shots, but he can't stop Lin Ying from scoring.
Lin Ying held the ball and beat Porzingis in singles, and another "flying man" one-handed throw after a breakthrough.
Good guy, Lin Ying hasn’t recovered from the last round of Jordan imitation show!
But when Lin Ying starts to attack like this, it shows that his mentality is very relaxed and confident, even if the Nets are still lagging behind.
53 to 62!
Moreover, Lin Ying scored 10 points and 1 assist in this period, almost single-handedly narrowing the point difference to single digits!
Being 16 points behind is a lot?
The Knicks are in hot form, is it difficult to chase points?
With Lin Ying, it’s not difficult!
What is the number one player in the league? Your King Lin!
The Knicks were in a precarious situation. At this moment, Paul gave up giving the ball to Anthony and instead called Noah for a pick-and-roll.
Noah's pick-and-roll quality is average. He just signed a contract with the Knicks this season and his performance has declined due to injuries.
However, this did not affect Paul's offense. He took advantage of Noah's pick-and-roll to move to the right side and hit Jokic with a backward shot.
This shot is a bit similar to Anthony's shot just now. The arc of the ball is very high, just like a high throw shot when playing badminton.
But the difference is that Anthony was forced to raise the arc of his hand to avoid the block, while Paul actively raised the arc of his hand to avoid the block.
There seems to be no difference, but the difference between active and passive is also shown in the results.
"Whoa!"
Basketball hollow bag.
This time, it’s a real hollow ball!
The Knicks bench was in a frenzy.
At the critical moment, you still have to look to Paul!
This has been proven many times this season, and the Knicks have won games on many nights with Paul's steady mid-range hand.
Tonight, they will come again!
Paul also had more than just personal abilities.
"There's no way he's going to fight like that all night long!"
While retreating, he shouted encouragement to his teammates.
The meaning of this was obvious. He was referring to Lin Ying. It was impossible for Lin Ying to spend the entire night playing both offense and defense like this.
After having this understanding, they only need to adjust their mentality and not set the goal of defeating the opponent in a short period of time, but instead set a protracted battle and maintain a stalemate.
Then when Lin Ying's physical fitness declines, it will be time for the Knicks to win the game!
Paul's thinking is very clear.
And the next two rounds seemed to confirm his conjecture.
Lin Ying was flanked and passed the ball to Jokic. Jokic's three-point shot from the top of the arc missed a little.
After Noah protected the defensive rebound, the Knicks launched a defensive counterattack. Paul's beautiful behind-the-back pass in the fast break assisted Lee who followed up and scored two points.
After Lee scored the ball, Paul waved his fist excitedly and then gave Lee a high-five.
The Knicks reopened the point difference to 11 points, and with one offense and one defense, their decline was stopped!
Durant on the sidelines looked anxious. He stood up and wanted to get ready to play again, but after thinking about what Lin Ying said to him, he sat back abruptly.
This next round is critical.
Lin Ying caught the ball and was immediately flanked.
But this time he didn't pass it.
And Durant could feel that Lin Ying's entire game temperament seemed to have changed in an instant.
Lin Ying entered the white-hot space.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ying had broken through the trap and entered the paint, and then slammed the ball into the basket through his old acquaintance Noah!
All the fans at the scene were stunned.
Although this is certainly not the first time they have seen Lin Ying play like this, it is still shocking once they see it.
Especially when Lin Ying was forced to distribute the ball in the last round.
This contrast is so strong that it is always difficult to accept it!
But the next second, Barclays Center was filled with cheers from fans.
The Nets bench was also in a state of excitement.
Facts have once again proved that they can always trust Lin Ying!
No matter how precarious it seems!
Paul's expression also changed a lot.
He has seen Jordan play, but after all, he has never actually played with Jordan.
In addition, he has been playing in the Western Conference before, so he is far from being used to it like Anthony. Every time he sees Lin Ying's scoring method that breaks the rules, his strong heart will be shocked.
Is this a score a normal person can get?
Looking back, Paul tried his old trick again.
But this time his shot failed to hit.
No matter how steady you are in shooting, when your mentality fluctuates, your hands will shake unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, at halftime, the score between the two teams was 58 to 64!
The Nets narrowed the point difference to 6 points at halftime!
The feeling given by the Nets throughout the second quarter, especially after Durant came off the court, was that Lin Ying took over the game on both offense and defense.
As for the Knicks, after Anthony was shut down by Lin Ying, he could only rely on Paul's mid-range to score.
Paul's mid-range gives people a very stable feeling at critical moments, and the goals he scores are all crucial.
But in the regular stage, it feels like it lacks firepower.
Especially after being impacted by Lin Ying's scoring style, his shooting percentage also fluctuated.
Lin Ying scored 28 points at halftime, especially 18 points in the second half of the second quarter.
But the price was that he sat on the sidelines for a long time after halftime, and when he got up, he waved to Zhou Qi to come over and help him.
The consumption of this half is much larger than he thought.
He is becoming stronger, and Paul is also getting stronger.
And this Knicks is sufficient, and it is much stronger than the original Hornets (now Pelicans).
After seeing Durant, he hurried to help Lin Ying.
His emotions at this moment are a bit complicated, distressed and self -blame, and a little concern.
Both of them started silently and didn't speak. They walked to the door of the locker room, and Durant said.
