Lin Ri came up and hit a mid-range shot.

Last season's best coach, Mike Brown, stared at his back thoughtfully.

He could feel that Lin Ri's round was different from previous ones.

In the videos of Lin Ri that he has studied, the Suns' opening offense often involves Steve Nash catching Steve Nash's attention during the fast break, and then waiting for Lin Ri to pass the ball to the latter during his breakthrough.

With Lin Ri's physical fitness and destructive power under the basket, the Suns' first offense often ends with Lin Ri's dunk at the basket.

When Mike Brown summarized the Suns' opening offensive routine, he didn't have much to worry about. In his opinion, the Cavaliers' interior players' size and physique can definitely limit Lin's impact on the basket.

Can……

What the hell is this guy doing with a mid-range shot?

This is a little different from what Mike Brown thought at first...

Fortunately, LeBron James and O'Neal turned around and completed the cooperation. LeBron's second pass after the breakthrough helped the "Shark" complete the abuse of the frame with both hands.

With his size, Humphries really couldn't handle it, and Lin Ri's supplementary defense had no limiting effect at all.

"Hey man, the sharks are going to hunt! Get ready!"

O'Neal landed and took the "King Step" domineeringly. This is his signature celebration method. Lin Ri has also used it before, but this action needs to be done more expressively by O'Neal. With this tonnage and his 2.16 meters

With his height, if he holds a hammer, he will look just like the "Giant Spirit God".

Well... of course, you have to ignore his trembling fat body.

O'Neal is as dominant as ever at the basket.

However, he is no longer at his peak, and the way to deal with him is no longer just a "shark-killing" tactic.

It's okay to deal with him...

"start running!"

Steve Nash urged Humphries from the backcourt to pass the ball quickly, and then dribbled the ball quickly toward the Cavaliers' penalty area.

O'Neal, who was still happily taking the "Domineering Step", saw Steve Nash approaching quickly, his whole face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran towards the basket. In the middle, he also tried to delay Steve Nash, but he didn't wait.

When he made an interference move, Steve Nash ducked past him. The speed of the two people formed a sharp contrast at that moment.

What's more, O'Neal's interference was his own flash of inspiration, which was not included in the original Cavaliers' tactics. His delay was equivalent to occupying the position of his teammates, which disrupted the original defense line of the Cavaliers' back line.

Steve Nash successfully drove to the basket.

JJ Hickson was the Cavaliers' last barrier. He kept up with Steve Nash's speed very well, but was forced to stand still by Steve's dribbling. He was stunned for a long time, and his body became stiff.

He was stunned, just watching Steve Nash pass the ball in front of him.

"Boom!"

The sound of the basket exploding sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw that Suns No. 95 was letting go of his hand from the basket and falling to the ground.

When he came to cover Steve Nash, Lin Ri was also open.

"Nice!"

"Well done!"

“Beautifully buttoned!”

Lin Ri dunked in response to O'Neal's dunk, which caused a huge cheer from the audience.

This is the "explosion field" button!

The score came to 4-2.

At this time, O'Neal had just run to the basket to pick up the ball.

This is the biggest problem for "Shark" now. As long as he increases his speed, he will have no time to return to defense. Last season, the Suns team tried to solve this problem, but in the end they did not find a good solution. As a member of the assistant coaching staff at the time

, Gentry can be said to have a profound memory of this.

He also used this move directly from the beginning of the game.

The purpose is to get O'Neal off the court quickly.

With him on the court, it is really difficult for the Suns to guard the inside.

Although O'Neal's size is completely out of shape, with his size and strength, coupled with his feet that can still leave the ground, his destructive power at the basket is still among the top in the league.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make the league's best third team last season.

The Cavaliers still gave the ball to LeBron James after halftime. In this round, LeBron chose to attack on his own.

Ariza was about two steps away and barely blocked the latter's attack before he entered the free throw line. After the two people made physical contact, he was directly knocked away by LeBron James.

His historical level of physical strength is evident.

"Bang!"

Unfortunately, LeBron James, who knocked away Ariza and gained space to shoot, failed to score in the end.

At this moment, the insiders on both sides are waiting in the penalty area, and he really has no room to take action.

As I said before, in the 2008 Finals, Kobe taught the world how to defend Rajon Rondo, and in the 2007 Finals, Popovich taught the world how to defend LeBron James.

In addition, neither JJ Hickson nor Shaquille O'Neal has the ability to open up space inside...

Lin Ri and Humphries directly "nailed" the Cavaliers inside.

Anyway, LeBron James' offense is all about going to the basket, so he just needs to get stuck!

No, the "Little Emperor"'s first shot in this game also proved that this trick is indeed effective.

Gentry watched with pleasure from the audience.

So far, the tactics he has arranged have paid off.

Humphries tried his best to stop O'Neal, but O'Neal also ran out of strength fighting for position with Humphries.

This left him with no energy to take off.

JJ Hickson and Lin Ri fought together.

Then Lin Ri made JJ Hickson feel what is called "the fear of being dominated by physical talent"!

"Return to defense quickly!"

Seeing Lin Ri getting the ball and landing, Mike Brown quickly shouted towards the court. The Suns' fast break was still in front of his eyes. If the Cavaliers started running at the same time as them, I'm afraid it would be half

The person had to be thrown away instantly.

This is a lineup that plays positional offense and defense, and it really can't keep up with the Suns' fast break.

O'Neal ran first.

The speed is so fast that the fat all over the body is squirming, and it makes a "dong dong dong" sound when running, just like an elephant running.

It turns out that even fat people can run fast.

O'Neal was the first to complete the defense.

When Steve Nash got the ball from Lin Ri, he was already standing under the basket.

The Suns' offense obviously couldn't turn into a fast break.

Steve Nash simply moved forward slowly. After he passed half court, Lin Ri once again played a pick-and-roll with him. JJ Hickson moved very quickly this time. He successfully kept up with Steve Nash.

In terms of effectiveness, the quality of Lin Ri and Steve Nash's pick-and-roll this time was not high.

However, Steve Nash, who was blocked in the middle of the road, did not stop. While dribbling, suddenly a behind-the-back pass was passed to Lin Ri who was against Mo Williams. Lin Ri took the ball and ignored Mo Williams, who was right next to him.

In front of you, jump and shoot.

"Whoosh!"

His touch was really good tonight, and he hit another mid-range shot.

Mo Williams' interference had absolutely no effect.

Lin Ri has made three of three shots so far, helping the Suns take a 6-2 lead.

"pretty!"

"The sun is in really good shape tonight!"

"Is the Sun's CIC so good? OMG!"

The fans at the scene were already in a commotion because Lin Ri hit consecutive shots. The discussion became much louder now. It is conceivable that if Lin Ri can hit the next shot, the entire scene will explode.

Already.

The ESPN commentary booth was discussing Lin Ri's style of play in this game. After watching these rounds, they had probably seen Lin Ri's entire routine:

"This guy is so smart!"

"Obviously, when Shaq is standing in the paint, this guy's choices are all mid-range shots!"

"This guy's mind is really clear!"
