Chapter 105 Why is it always Lin Yu who gets hurt? (Tenth, Monthly Pass)
After getting rid of Ginobili and Duncan, Lin Yu went directly to the basket and threw the ball towards the basket.
Whoosh!
With the crisp sound of the net being wiped, the basketball got into the basket.
"China Lin controlled the ball and continuously went around the screen. He was too flexible. Facing Yaodao, he hit a ball that was even more demonic than Yaodao!"
After hitting an unguarded layup, Lin Yu's statistics became 4-of-8 shooting, 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
In the next defensive round, the Spurs made continuous cuts and runs, hand-to-hand coordination. When Ginobili received the ball, there were 8 seconds left in the attack time.
He was very fast, stepped forward, swept away Lin Yu's defense with his right arm, and rushed directly into the three-point line.
Then there was an emergency stop and a jump shot.
Lin Yu jumped forward, and when he landed, there was a loud sound of a basketball hitting the rim behind him.
There was not much time left to attack this shot. Ginobili didn't make any changes. Lin Yu's defense easily worked and he defended the ball.
The pop-up basketball was grabbed by Pierce. The Celtics counterattacked and the Spurs quickly retreated. Lin Yu rushed to the frontcourt and directly asked for the ball. He noticed that Duncan and Nesterovich were not in position yet.
After receiving the ball, Lin Yu made a breakthrough and accelerated his pace into the penalty area.
There was no center at the basket, and it was like an open door. Lin Yu could do whatever he wanted, and Bruce Bowen, who was near the bottom corner, could only let go of Pierce and rush over to cover.
In the big open space in the bottom corner, Lin Yu didn't pass the ball and directly pushed Bowen for a layup.
The skinny Bowen couldn't withstand Lin Yu's impact at all, and he didn't do anything wrong. Lin Yu just hit the ball hard and scored!
"Scoring consecutively, China Lin broke out!"
After two goals in a row, Gregg Popovich realized that his judgment at the beginning was terribly wrong. Lin Yu in this game had not lost his singles skill package.
It was just the opening, and Lin Yu did not use any other offensive means.
"Why did he start with consecutive fadeaway jumpers? Is he imitating Kobe?"
Popovich instantly felt a little uncomfortable. Kobe, who ate, slept and played against the Spurs, was probably the Spurs' most hated opponent.
Lin Yu imitated Kobe, and obviously wanted to be like Kobe, eating, sleeping and playing with the Spurs.
In fact, Lin Yu didn't think that much at the beginning. He just wanted to hide his strength. But when the Celtics fell behind, Lin Yu thought of Kobe.
He can't play too reasonably in this game. He has to be like Kobe and use unreasonable tactics to defeat the Spurs.
So, just now Pierce was wide open and he didn't pass the ball because he was imitating Kobe...
"China Lin's outbreak once again saved the Celtics in distress, and the point difference was reduced to 3 points. Now the Spurs need to worry about how to defend China Lin, who is now scoring continuously."
On the defensive end, Lin Yu continued to keep a close eye on Ginobili.
The Spurs found an opportunity from the strong side. Duncan attracted the defense. Parker cut inside and hit a close shot.
The score difference widened to 5 points again, and then came another Celtic attack.
Lin Yu took the ball directly from the backcourt and scored 10 points on 5 of 9 shots. He has regained the trust of the team. A Lin Yu who is in hot form can help the Celtics win all games. This is
Consensus within the Celtics team.
Rushing to the frontcourt with the ball, Ginobili's defense against Lin Yu was no longer so close.
"Tim Duncan's supplementary defense is not omnipotent. Now, Manu needs to rely on himself to limit China Lin's breakthrough."
For two consecutive goals, Lin Yu broke through the basket and scored. The Spurs adjusted quickly. They directly pulled the defense in to prevent Lin Yu from continuing to attack the penalty area.
Lin Yu, who was outside the three-point line, made two dribbles from his hips, then made a cross step and took a step forward with his right foot.
Ginobili moved sideways, and his defensive focus was shaken.
Then, Lin Yu jumped up from outside the three-point line.
"Beyond the three-point line, China Lin shot directly!"
In the midst of stunned eyes, the basketball passed through the sky above the North Shore Garden Arena and accurately fell into the net frame.
With a bang, the North Shore Garden Arena erupted, and cheers sounded like a tsunami.
"The three-pointer from the outside went straight in. The familiar Lin Crazy appeared again. He scored consecutively and was completely unable to stop him. Perhaps at this moment, Gregg Popovich was already lamenting, how should China defend such a crazy Lin?
"
In this game, Lin Yu only made a few fadeaway jumpers in the first half of the first quarter and didn't make a single three-pointer.
The Spurs seem to have forgotten that without the singles skill package, Lin Yu is a pure three-point shooter. Compared with mid-range and short-range attacks, his three-pointers are the greatest threat.
Lin Yu, who made a three-pointer, once again narrowed the point difference to 2 points. After scoring 7 consecutive points, his personal score in the first quarter had reached 13 points, and he also had 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
When the first quarter was over, the Celtics equalized the score due to Lin Yu's burst.
In the last three minutes or so, Lin Yu was double-teamed by the Spurs. His scoring stagnated, but his assists continued to rise.
In the end, Lin Yu broke out in the first quarter and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. Such a perfect performance already left Popovich scratching his head.
"If you double-team him, he will pass the ball. If you don't double-check, Manu can't guard him one-on-one..." Slowly, Popovich turned his attention to Bruce Bowen.
In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs replaced Bowen to defend Lin Yu.
Lin Yu felt that one mountain is higher than the other. If Ginobili's defense was a little dirty, Bowen's defense was extremely dirty.
With almost every ball, Lin Yu's body was severely beaten.
"Bruce Bowen continues to face China Lin. San Antonio has used their strongest outside defender, plus the inside defense of Duncan and Rasu Nesterovich, China Lin faces a defense
The pressure is tremendous.”
"But so far in the second quarter, he has still scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. The Spurs' defense is completely unable to restrain him!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Lin Yu once again broke through Bowen's defense in the frontcourt.
The weakness in his waist suffered a hidden blow, but after the breakthrough, Lin Yu still relied on his body's muscle memory to jump up in an instant and twist and hit a jumper!
"Going in again, China Lin continues to score, Bruce Bowen's defense has no effect on him!"
After scoring the goal, Lin Yu waved his arms and roared with cheers from the entire stadium. This time it was indeed a roar.
While roaring, he glared at Bruce Bowen fiercely.
On the defensive end, Duncan's mid-range shot missed, and Lin Yu grabbed the rebound and rushed to the frontcourt.
Bowen moved closer, his hands completely surrounding Lin Yu, and his hidden fingertips and elbow tips were doing some bad things.
Lin Yu could no longer stand Bowen's defense. He controlled the ball and took two steps back, out of his own shooting range and at the same time out of Bowen's entanglement.
Then he suddenly accelerated and rushed out with full firepower.
Bowen blocked the three-point line, ready to turn sideways and continue to entangle Lin Yu who was breaking through. However, he found that Lin Yu was rushing straight towards him.
boom!
Two bodies collided. One had planned to use all his strength, while the other was knocked away unprepared...
Bruce Bowen fell heavily to the floor and then slid a long distance...
The TD North Shore Garden Arena was stunned for a moment, and then burst into deafening cheers.
The referee reacted and whistled Lin Yu for an offensive foul.
Lin Yu showed his "friendliness" at this moment. He pulled up Bruce Bowen on the floor, but his outstretched right hand was secretly strong.
Bruce Bowen's face turned red, and the right hand holding Lin Yu turned white with pain. He glared at Lin Yu.
"You pissed me off, Chinaman."
Lin Yu shrugged. He didn't take Bowen's threat to heart.
But in the next defensive round, Lin Yu chased Manu Ginobili, but Bruce Bowen bumped into him from the side. Lin Yu was knocked down all of a sudden!
Doc Rivers stood up again off the court, rushed into the infield, and shouted: "He is committing a crime!"
He suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. Why was it always Lin Yu who was "injured"?
