Chapter 266: Deadly Chipping + Blocking
James Harden, who was standing by, saw this problem. He had never been so confused. In the 2012 Finals, he was in this state when he went to defend James. At that time, he was also in danger and had no MVP Buff in the Finals. At least now, it seems that Davis also has an All-Star MVP bonus.
D'Antoni still drew a tactic for this goal. After all, in the last attack, he can't just be a coach sitting on the bench to replace people! He has a bit of dignity.
Unfortunately, the West is now the Warriors trio plus the future Pelicans double towers, and the tactics are also very simple. After all, I have never trained and run at all. The outside line is just a simple way to use Curry and Davis' pick-and-roll to misplace Davis.
Under the reminder of his favorite players, D'Antoni could see that Davis was depressed and helpless about his match against Lin Sen, so he also helped him find misplaced in this tactic.
But Irving and Lin Sen were old partners who won the championship together for a year with the Cavaliers. In this round, Curry and Davis' pick-and-roll did not work. In that moment, Curry had the chance to score by himself.
But he hesitated. If this was the regular season between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, he felt that he would pull up and take action without hesitation. But in this situation, he did not have the intention to take the blame, and the basketball was still transferred to Davis.
Davis saw his familiar smile, Lin Sen followed Davis in a gloomy way. The oppressiveness of the defensive end made Davis feel that he could not even get off the ball to break through.
Just a little bit, this attack can still make you succeed now. Lin Sen immediately got closer to Davis again after thinking about this. This position makes Davis' shooting unable to perform well. Davis is not as outstanding as Lin Sen's mid-range shooting ability. He makes more shots comfortable to catch the ball. After the pick-and-roll failed just now, he lost this opportunity.
After getting the ball, he turned left and accelerated the breakthrough, and separated Lin Sen's position with his right hand. Lin Sen's reaction was also very fast. When Davis turned around, he did not stick it up, but began to retreat because he stuck it very close. When he thought about sticking to the opponent to defend, it would be very likely that he would be clean. Lin Sen knew that Love behind him did not have any ability to protect the frame. Once it was passed, it would be an easy score.
Lin Sen's retreat was very timely. At the edge of the penalty area, Lin Sen once again stuck Davis's position, and the latter directly forced himself up.
"Can you enter? Will you enter?" Barkley stood up in the commentary seat to pay attention to the final attack of the Western Conference All-Stars.
Davis jumped very high. He accelerated and rushed to jump. Lin Sen just turned around. He didn't think about jumping. Even if he jumped, it would be difficult to stop this move. But this does not mean that Lin Sen, who did not jump, had no choice.
Cut the ball! When Davis took off, Lin Sen was very decisive in cutting the ball. A center forward chose to cut the ball at the position of restoring defense, probably no one would have thought of it, and such an inside-line cutting is easily fouled.
But the ball was clean and the referee at the bottom line could see it clearly. Even if it was the New Orleans Arena, he didn't dare to call this foul.
Lin Sen reacted quickly and immediately launched a counterattack. Boos sounded in the New Orleans Arena in the audience. Davis protested at the referee when he couldn't catch up. However, the referee at the bottom line shook his head firmly, saying that this was a very beautiful cutting ball.
Davis was very angry. Lin Sen on the other side had easily completed a one-stop dunk, surpassing the score by one point, and the time left for this Western Conference All-Star team was only 4 seconds.
"My God, Lin's cutting ball is too fucking decisive! Isn't he afraid of fouls?" O'Neal exclaimed. He is not a center who can steal, and many times he needs to control his own fouls more. The steal operation is not suitable for him, and more precisely, it is not suitable for the center position.
Barkley looked at O'Neal with disgust: "Brother, don't treat every center as you, Lin's stealing ability is two streets away from you."
O'Neal opened his mouth to refute, but he found that what Barkley said made sense.
On the court, Davis and the referee protested for a long time without any effect, so they could only return to the court in depressed manner. If it weren't for the All-Star, the referee would definitely give this superstar who was chattering in front of him a technical foul.
In history, the All-Stars only had one technical foul. In the 2012 All-Star Game, Wade injured Kobe's nose in a defense, and blood flowed down Kobe's face on the spot. Because Wade's moves were relatively large, he was also called for a technical foul!
The last chance of the attack was still in his hands. In 4 seconds, the serve in the middle line was directly found in Davis. But the problem was that his mentality was a little broken, and he didn't have much confidence to continue to break through Lin Sen.
The time was only 4 seconds, which was not enough. Davis's breakthrough was directly stopped by Lin Sen and he scored a jump shot. This was Lin Sen's trick. Isn't it to seek death in front of him? Lin Sen directly stuck to the last second and started jumping early.
Cover! The block that had no chance to complete just now was given to Davis again by Lin Sen in this round. The moment the basketball was fanned out, it was all over. Lin Sen not only refused to let Davis attack, but he simply did not even give him hope for the fairy ball!
With one steal and one block, Lin Sen gave Davis a good defensive lesson at the last moment.
"Blocked, Lin completed the steal, quasi-killing and death block at the last critical moment. He dominated the defensive end." Barkley shouted wildly.
O'Neal, who was standing aside, also began to emphasize: "Don't treat this as an All-Star. Brother, this intensity is definitely not an All-Star. If I were hit like this at the last moment of a game, I can guarantee that I will leave a psychological shadow."
Davis on the court was a little stunned, and it was difficult for him to accept this fact. When he saw the other four players in the East pressing Lin Sen under him like a cross-rotate player, he realized that he had completely lost to Lin Sen in this game. He was very upset and pulled down his headband and threw it aside.
