Since Lin Ri joined the Suns, he has always played primarily with offense and supplemented by defense.

Gentry originally thought of using him as a strengthened version of Amar'e Stoudemire.

Of course, it’s no wonder he thinks so. Who makes Lin Ri’s template be Amar’e Stoudemire plus Rodman!

It is not a wrong idea for Gentry to imitate cats and tigers...

Facts have proved that the effect is not bad. Lin Ri has averaged 24 plus 15 plus 4 plus 2 per game since he entered the league, which proves that he is already one of the top insiders in the league.

Whether it's his data or his presence on the court, this can be illustrated.

However, it wasn't until tonight's game that Gentry discovered that this guy was also an extremely terrifying guy when he put all his strength on the defensive end.

One man can't stop ten thousand people from opening...

After Gentry adjusted Lin Ri's on-court role tonight, the Suns' defensive system with him as the core turned the Suns' inside line into an iron barrel in the remainder of the game.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is impregnable.

It became very difficult for the Thunder to challenge the Suns' interior during that period.

The Suns also took advantage of this to launch a scoring offensive, successfully widening the point difference to double digits.

With this wave of offensive, they also successfully secured the victory of the game.

The game ended with the Suns winning 112-101.

Kevin Durant scored 31 points in this game, which was a very good performance, but it is worth mentioning that he had already scored more than 15 points in the middle of the second quarter, that is,

In other words, it took a little more than two quarters for him to get the data he had gotten in the previous quarter and a half, and his efficiency dropped.

The time when his efficiency began to decline happened to be when Lin Ri began to focus entirely on the defensive end.

In other words, even the current league scoring champion has been greatly affected by the defensive system with Lin Ri as the core.

Not to mention the data of other Thunder players. Except for James Harden, the overall data of other players have declined to a certain extent compared to usual, especially in terms of attacking the frame. There is a clear gap!

As for James Harden, he scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The data looks better than usual, but more than half of his data was obtained when he played against Stephen Curry. If these data are excluded

If so, then he would be greatly affected!

Lin Ri guarded the Suns' penalty area alone, which frustrates everyone in the talented Thunder team. It is not an exaggeration to say, "One man can block the way and ten thousand men can't open it."

Lin Ri’s final data is indeed gorgeous!

21 points, 15 rebounds, 11 blocks and 4 assists...

Lin Ri got the first "triple double" of his career in this game!

And this is the standard "triple double" for inside players!

This is not a "triple double" achieved with assists... this is a "triple double" achieved with double figures in blocks!

Lin Ri blocked 11 shots on everyone in the Thunder tonight...

And these blocks are not just collected.

Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Ibaka, no one from this talented Thunder team escaped, and they were all blocked by Lin Ri in the game.

At least once.

It can be said that "a family must be in order".

The most unlucky among them was Westbrook, who was blocked three times. The bloodiness was so bloody that one couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.

And this block is estimated to be among the top three this season.

This also caused a heated discussion after the game.

Among them is Dwyane Wade, the core of the Heat.

"Oh my god, 11 blocks, how did you do this? I hope Christmas can calm this guy down!"

The Suns' next game is against the Spurs, and the next game after that will be against the Heat.

Lin Ri's hot state really makes Wade worried for O'Neal Jr. and Haslem. The strength of the two of them is probably not much different from Jeff Green and Ibaka. Lin Ri will definitely be destroyed by Lin Ri.

!

The only thing that makes Wade feel lucky is that although the Suns will meet the Spurs after they beat them, it will only be after Christmas. The Suns will not have a game on Christmas Day, plus the holidays before and after, it is enough.

With four days left, Wade now only hopes that Lin Ri can go out and have fun this Christmas instead of training in the training hall. In that case, there may be ups and downs in the state, so that the Heat's inside line will not be too much.

Ugly.

Of course, what he really wanted to say was only two words... want!

Wade is still unhappy this season. The Heat are currently ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference. Can they make it to the playoffs? Definitely, but Wade still needs to be both a father and a mother to lead this team into the season.

In the playoffs, what's the use of making it to the playoffs? How they lost in the playoffs last season, they probably will lose this time as well.

This is why Wade longs for the sun!

Having won a championship, he knows very well that if he wants to go further in the playoffs, it is definitely not enough for the Heat to have him alone!

Speaking of which, this is also the reason why Wade often comments on Lin Ri.

He doesn't necessarily want Lin Ri... With Lin Ri's current popularity in Phoenix, no matter who else, the probability of getting him from Phoenix is ​​0. The Suns will trade him unless they are crazy!

Dwyane Wade is just sending a message to Parker Riley: Lin Ri is the helper I want. If you can't get it, do you see? I will leave with someone in a minute! Look, I am talking to someone now

How hot!

This is what Wade really wants to express.

Otherwise, 11 blocks in a single game, not 11 blocks in a single quarter, would not have made him so excited. It's not like he has never seen it before...

Of course, although this performance is not that unprecedented among all NBA interior players, Lin Ri actually broke another NBA historical record with his 11 blocks in a single game.

Starting with the statistics of blocks, Lin Ri is the second player to get 11 blocks in a single game in his rookie season. The first one is Manute Bol, who is 2.31 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2

At 59 meters tall, "the tallest in the NBA", he once contributed 15 blocks in a single game during his rookie season...

Although it is the second in history, it is the first in the history of the Suns.

So "Suns star" Barkley jumped out again: "The Thunder, which is full of talent, met the Sun, which is full of talent. This is a collision between talent and talent, but it can be seen from the results of the game.

,More than talent, the sun is really not afraid of anyone!"

Lin Ri's performance in this game once again shocked Barkley. You must know that there is only one player in the league who can provide such a deterrent in the penalty area when facing the Thunder, and that is Howard... Lin Ri is the only player besides him.

the second!

The problem is... Howard is currently 24 years old, and Lin Ri is currently 19 years old...

This guy is such a genius!

"We feel extremely lucky to have the sun. This guy makes this game easy. Of course, it's not just this game. There have been many games that have proven this. I think we have ushered in a creation."

The best opportunity for our future!”

Gentry also praised Lin Ri wildly after the game.

He is very happy tonight.

And it's not just because the Suns won.

Also because the Suns won the ball tonight relying on defense!

Although this game looked like a wave of scoring by the Suns that happily "sent away" their opponents.

But the scoring surge in this game was achieved by the Suns' defensive counterattack.

During that time, the Suns frequently completed successful defenses!

This is the key to their scoring surge!

And this is not in line with the Suns' past style of play.

Not only is it inconsistent, it is exactly what the Suns lacked in the past!

Now... Gentry sees hope of making up for what the Suns lack in this area... The defensive system with Lin Ri as the core seems to be able to prevent the Suns' defense from having such problems!

This is reflected in this game.

It’s also what makes Gentry the happiest!

After this game, he truly realized that the Suns were one step closer, all they had to do was get closer!

Next game, keep playing like this!

He secretly made up his mind!

…

"The sun, yes! It was really fierce tonight. Sure enough, it will be different when I come back!"

Christine and Agali also came to watch this game.

At that time, they were dumbfounded as Lin Ri blocked shots one after another.

Especially those three blocks against Russell Westbrook.

To be honest, they all feel desperate for Westbrook.
To be continued...
