Chapter 415: The Sentinel Arrives

The away game against the 76ers went smoothly, something Lin Yu himself could not have imagined.

Larry Hughes couldn't restrain Lin Yu at all. After the first ball in the game, Lin Yu hit another ball again. He also easily opened the way, attracted a double attack and the ball split to one side, assisting Randolph to score a shot.

Mark the long two-point shot.

Two goals later, 76ers head coach Maurice Cheeks didn't seem to notice the existing problems. He didn't make any adjustments, and Lin Yu just continued to play.

"The decline of Larry Hughes is obvious. He can't stop Lin Yu in this state at all. Maurice Cheeks should make adjustments. He can let Andre Iguodala switch to guard Lin Yu.

.”

Steve Kerr in the commentary box raised this point early, but Maurice Cheeks had no action or reaction.

At the beginning, Lin Yu made continuous breakthroughs, created threats, and connected the team's offense by passing the ball.

Three minutes later, relying on Lin Yu on the offensive end and the efforts of all players on the defensive end, the Knicks opened the gap in the score.

After 11:4, Maurice Cheeks finally realized the problem.

"When did China Lin's breakthrough become so outstanding?"

Maurice Cheeks was confused. He didn't know, or no one except Lin Yu knew, that just about a week ago, Lin Yu got James' breakthrough potential, relying on nearly a week of hard training.

, his breakthrough point has risen to 71 points, reaching above the league average.

Although he has only improved a little, he has reached a higher level. Larry Hughes is no longer the league's top defender and cannot stop Lin Yu now.

Maurice Cheeks called a timeout directly, and the game was only three minutes old. In this regard, he was quite decisive.

After the timeout, Lin Yu discovered that Iguodala had switched defenses in front of him, and Larry Hughes ran to mark him.

After changing the guard, Lin Yu missed two goals in succession. The Knicks' offense stopped, but the score gap was still there.

Because the Knicks' defense has always been very solid and showed no flaws, for a while, the game seemed to have turned into a defensive battle.

After another official timeout, the game restarted as usual. The Knicks, who had the ball in hand, handed the ball to Lin Yu.

A screen from the outside was of average quality, but Lin Yu relied on this screen, took a small step away from Iguodala, accelerated and sprinted a step, raised his hand and made a mid-range shot.

However, Iguodala chased back and flew to chase. Lin Yu was disturbed and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

But there was a beep and the referee whistle sounded.

For the first time, Lin Yu was a little surprised. He raised his hand, subconsciously thinking that the referee had called him for walking or other violations.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that he didn't take many steps. Counting the step to cover, he only took three steps in total. It couldn't be a walk anyway.

Lin Yu immediately went to the referee to argue, but when he turned around, he saw the referee gave Iguodala a defensive foul. Iguodala didn't even protest and just raised his hand to admit it.

Lin Yu's eyes widened, feeling that his three views had been subverted.

"Why is this a foul?"

No one would give Lin Yu an explanation at this time, and Lin Yu couldn't get any explanation, so he made a guess.

In this round, after he made two free throws, he followed the same pattern in the next round and looked for confrontation in the offense.

The referee's whistle did not sound, and Lin Yu was even more confused. For two very similar balls, the referee made two completely different penalties.

"The penalties are different..."

Frowning, Lin Yu waited for another defensive round. In the next offensive round, he made a comeback.

It was still a cover, and Lin Yu got rid of Iguodala.

Reggie Evans on the inside made up for it, Lin Yu made another mid-range shot as if seeking confrontation, and then, with a beep, the referee blew the whistle again.



Starting from the first official timeout, Lin Yu suddenly transformed into a whistleblower and became a Linshao. As long as he seeks confrontation, he will most likely receive feedback.

He also quickly figured out the reason why there were whistles sometimes and no whistles at all.

This was only the first quarter, and even if the referee took care of him, it was impossible to blow Iguodala for two consecutive fouls. Therefore, if Lin Yu found another brother, he would naturally not be able to get the whistle.

But if it were someone else, the whistle would be there immediately.

The game continued, and in the second quarter, he suddenly called Brother Yi for another whistle, which allowed him to determine the reason why he got so many inexplicable whistles in this game.

"Does David Stern want to adopt me as his adopted son? How about taking advantage of the situation and steal a godfather plot?"

Lin Yu shook his head secretly. It was impossible for his godfather to recognize him, but the whistle smelled really good. Lin Yu probably guessed why David Stern gave him the whistle.

There are many reasons. For example, Lin Yu is from China, and David Stern wants to further explore the Chinese market.

For another example, Lin Yu is still very young, 26 years old, but he is already a superstar player who has won one championship and one FMVP. Such a player is naturally qualified to be highly praised.

Of course, the decisive reason is that as the home of the NBA headquarters and the mecca of basketball, David Stern has always hoped that the Knicks can rise and become one of the representatives of big cities.

But since the post-Patrick Ewing era, the Knicks have been failing for several years. The worse they get, the more shameless they become. Finally, Lin Yu was born, and David Stern naturally had to support him.

On the court, Lin Yu used his status as whistleblower to easily lead the Knicks to a huge lead, and then easily defeated the 76ers and won the game.

Lin Yu felt that a victory was boring. Apart from adding another victory, there was no other gain.

However, when he looked at the statistics table after the game, he still felt very happy.

"He scored 36 points on 9-of-20 shooting, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals. China's Lin was so efficient in this game!"

"The efficient China Lin helped the Knicks win another victory. Since he joined, the Knicks' record is 3 wins and 1 loss. The changes he has brought can be seen with the naked eye."

The commentator praised Lin Yu, thinking that Lin Yu was very efficient in this game. Reggie Miller, who has always been a pure shooter in his career, secretly complained that he took 18 free throws in one game and made 15 of them. How could he not be efficient?

?

Lin Yu, who was on the sidelines of the court, shook hands with the old Miller and said goodbye, while secretly feeling happy: 15 free throws in a game, isn't this going to take off?

He seems to have seen the Knicks use a wave of super-level winning streak in the final stage to create a miraculous overtake of opponents ranked above him and enter the playoffs!

In the post-match interview, Lin Yu thought that a reporter would definitely mention the whistle in this game, but he was a little surprised when he didn't.

When I left the Wachovia Center after the game, I had a conversation with Lionel Hollins and finally understood——

"Those whistles you get are the kind of 50-50 whistles. It's no problem if the referee blows it, and it's no problem if he doesn't blow it. So, no one will find it strange that the game is over. People will only think that these whistles

You deserve it."

Do I deserve it?

Lin Yu tilted his head and asked again: "What if I can get these whistles in every game?"

"Every game?" Lionel Hollins shook his head. "No way, there is no such player in the NBA. Even LeBron cannot get so many whistles!"
