After the official timeout, Lin Yu sat next to Ricky Davis, and the two of them gave each other a light slap and interacted for a while.
Then, Lin Yu turned his attention to the center of the court.
The Bulls also replaced Ben Gordon at this time, their leading scorer and super sixth man. The Bulls' offensive firepower reached its peak.
As soon as he came on the court, Ben Gordon took a circle to the baseline. After coming out of the circle, he caught the ball and shot a three-pointer with open hands. With a swoosh, he hit the ball accurately and the Bulls bench was in a state of excitement.
Then, during the Kai team's offense, Pierce singled out, withstood Luol Deng's defense and made a mid-range shot, successfully hitting it.
The whole stadium burst into cheers, and Lin Yu rushed out from the center of the bench, waving a white towel in his hand. Following him were Ricky Davis, Marcus Banks and other teammates.
Compared to the beginning of Lin Yu's conspiracy, every time he waved a towel, he rushed from the depths of the bench to the most conspicuous place in the crowd, which made him feel a strange sense of embarrassment every time.
Now, with a group of teammates accompanying him, he finally won't feel embarrassed.
But at this time, Lin Yu began to wonder whether Thackeray's "bench cheerleading" joke had never been stolen because his teammates shared the attention of the media and fans on him?
Lin Yu was worried about gains and losses again...
From the second half of the first quarter to the first half of the second quarter, Lin Yu sat off the court.
During this period, Ricky Davis came on the scene to replace Pierce. The Celtics also maintained their lead over the Bulls under the uninterrupted offensive firepower of Pierce and Ricky Davis.
At the sixth minute of the second quarter, there was another official timeout, and Doc Rivers called Lin Yu again: "Lin, go to the technical table to make a substitution, replace Tony."
Lin Yu received the instruction, took off his training jacket very neatly, and then ran to the technical stage.
Not long after, Pierce followed Lin Yu and stood in front of the technical stage. He patted Lin Yu's butt and then said: "You change Tony, and I'll change Ricky. After the game comes on, remember to go more."
Go to the left corner."
"Left corner?" Lin Yu didn't understand what Pierce meant.
Pierce quickly explained: "I prefer to break through to my left hand. If I am flanked, I will pass the ball to the corner on my near side, which is the left corner. Therefore, in the past, you always like to go to the bottom corner.
Drill into the right corner, if you're open, I can't pass the ball to you."
"And if you appear in the left corner and there is no defender in front of you, I will definitely be able to pass the ball to you..."
Lin Yu nodded. He understood what Pierce meant and made an OK gesture. The two of them stood in front of the technical stage, waiting for the opportunity for a dead ball to appear on the court.
"Doug Rivers cut up the playing time of the wing players very much. Just six minutes after the second quarter, China Lin and Pierce were ready to come on the court. Obviously, they will replace Tony Allen and Ricky -
Davis."
Mike Breen analyzed the Celtics' rotation strategy for a while, and Marv Albert also followed up: "They have formed a combination, with Pierce or Ricky Davis leading a blue-collar team, and Tony Allen or
China Lin has always maintained its offensive and defensive intensity on the flanks."
"So, even if the Celtics cut up the playing time on the wings, they have maintained a strong offensive and defensive team on the wings from beginning to end. When facing some teams that rely on star players on the wings to win, they can easily occupy the court.
The advantages."
The ball soon went dead on the court. There was a buzz and the timer buzzed. Lin Yu and Pierce came on the stage at the same time. Because of Pierce, there was a sparse round of applause from the sidelines.
When Lin Yu came back on the court, his opponent was replaced by Ben Gordon. Compared to Luol Deng in the first quarter, Gordon had a longer shooting range, stronger ability without the ball, and was more difficult to defend.
However, as a defender who has already limited Allen Iverson, Lin Yu obviously will not be afraid of a second-rate scorer in the league.
When Lin Yu came on the court, the Celtics led by 7 points and the Chicago Bulls had the ball.
Bulls' backup point guard Chris Duhon controlled the ball past half court, and then Ben Gordon started running wildly without the ball, and Lin Yu followed up without hesitation.
In terms of his ability to defend against people, Lin Yu was not afraid of anyone. Therefore, after running for more than ten seconds, Gordon was still unable to get rid of Lin Yu's close defense.
"Gordon has been looking for a way to get rid of China Lin, but unfortunately from beginning to end, he failed."
Duhong, who was in possession of the ball, also failed to find a good opportunity on the offensive end. When the game was almost 20 seconds away, Gordon broke free from Lin Yu's entanglement and slipped out from the inside.
Lin Yu followed closely behind, only half a step behind, maintaining a defensive threat to Gordon.
Ben Gordon reached beyond the three-point line, completely ignoring Lin Yu behind him, and still reached out to ask for the ball from Du Hong.
Duhong passed the ball over, Gordon caught the ball, made an emergency stop, and made a pull-up three-pointer.
Lin Yu also jumped high, forcing Gordon to lean back in the air and shoot in an extremely difficult position. Then the basketball was released, and the arc had deviated greatly.
With a bang, the basketball flew out of the frame.
"Ben Gordon hit a three-pointer, but China Lin's defense was still online. The difficulty of this shot was too high and it was impossible to hit it."
After Mike Breen, Albert added: "If it can score, it will be a magic ball."
Pierce grabbed the high-bouncing rebound and quickly advanced to the frontcourt without passing the ball.
After Lin Yu arrived in the frontcourt, he directly got into the left corner, and after settling in, he began to wait quietly.
Next to him was the media area. Zhang Jianwei, Yang Meng and Shen Yang were all standing in the media area, looking closely at Lin Yu standing blankly outside the three-point line in the bottom corner.
Yang Meng joked in a low voice: "Old Shen, do you feel that Lin Yu playing on the court is a bit like buying a better VIP seat to watch the game?"
Shen Yang couldn't help but laugh: "It really means that."
Zhang Jianwei shook his head secretly. Lin Yu had already performed extremely well in the last game. He had proved himself, but he still couldn't change the nature of these domestic colleagues.
On the field, Lin Yu played a round of soy sauce, which indeed seemed to buy a better VIP viewing seat.
But back on the defensive end, he immediately made an impact. Ben Gordon continued to misfire, but the Bulls found an opportunity from the other sideline. Substitute small forward Andris Nocioni hit a three-pointer to close the gap.
Get back to 6 points.
Then, it was the Celtics' offensive round again, and Lin Yu still appeared in the left corner.
Pierce received the ball and immediately started playing singles.
He was guarded by Nocioni. Compared to Luol Deng, Nocioni's defense was a little worse. Pierce easily broke through the defense, got to the free throw line, and started to face the basket.
Lin Yu continued to guard the left corner. Soon, he was surprised to find that Ben Gordon in front of him disappeared.
Pierce went straight to the basket, and Chandler was restrained by Perkins under the basket. Gordon could only let Lin Yu go, rushed to the middle to cover the defense, and Lin Yu's opportunity just appeared...
Pierce kept his promise, and the next second, the basketball hit the floor in front of Lin Yu. After rebounding, it landed firmly in Lin Yu's hands.
With an absolutely open three-point opportunity, Ben Gordon showed a horrified expression. He turned back and rushed towards Lin Yu. His whole body was completely twisted due to the sharp turn in a short period of time.
Lin Yu took a breath, aimed at the basket, and slowly shot the ball.
At this time, Gordon had just appeared in front of Lin Yu, leaping high, but the basketball had already passed over his head, throwing out a perfect parabola.
After reaching the highest point, it suddenly plummeted.
As it gradually approached the basket, Marv Albert in the commentary box had already started shouting: "China Lin's three-pointer... this goal has been scored!"
Whoosh!
There was a crisp sound of net wiping, and just as Albert said, the three-pointer hit the basket accurately!
The whole audience burst into cheers. In the midst of the cheers, Lin Yu raised his right hand that shot a three-pointer and extended a finger. He finally scored!
"Lin Yu did not miss the absolutely wide-open three-point opportunity. From the key three-pointer in the last game, China Lin seems to have proved his ability to shoot long-range three-pointers."
After another successful defensive round, Lin Yu once again stood in the left corner.
In the Celtics' offensive round, Pierce held the ball and played a double pick-and-roll with Perkins and Al Jefferson at the top of the arc, which attracted the attention of almost everyone in the Bulls. Ben Gordon once again let it go.
Lin Yu.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yu received a pass from Pierce and made another three-point shot that was absolutely wide open.
Ben Gordon once again went back to defend with a look of horror on his face, but this time, Lin Yu shot the ball faster.
Gordon just turned his head, and with a whoosh, the basketball had already penetrated the net!
The whole stadium cheered again. Lin Yu, who scored two three-pointers in a row, raised his right hand again, stretched out two fingers, and then high-fived Pierce, who passed the ball to him.
After two three-pointers, the point difference had widened to 12 points.
"The key player, China Lin, once again stood up and scored two three-pointers at the end of the second quarter, helping the Celtics expand their lead."
