During the Cavaliers' defensive round, Dwyane Wade, who Kenny Smith said was full of firepower, received the ball.
He faced LeBron James' defense.
Previously, Lin Yu and Damian Wilkins found it difficult to defend against Wade, who was in hot form in this game. Whether it was speed or personal ability, there was a gap in quality between them and Wade.
Lin Yu is one level behind, and Damien Wilkins is two or three levels behind.
In short, Wade's outburst is also due to the Cavaliers' poor defense.
But now, LeBron James' defense will not give Wade much room to play, and Lin Yu quickly showed his excellent follow-up defense against Anthony Walker.
Anthony Walker, who mainly plays off the ball, couldn't get rid of Lin Yu's defense. The Heat's offense suddenly became very difficult. After 20 seconds of attack time, Wade broke through and made a mid-range shot against James' defense.
, the basketball hit the frame with a bang and bounced up.
This was the second ball that Wade missed in this game. Perhaps it was because he had missed a ball before. No one was surprised by this.
But Lin Yu jumped high inside and grabbed the rebound above everyone's heads at a surprising height.
"Oh my God, I have never seen Chinese Lin jump so high..."
In his career of more than a year, Lin Yu has only a handful of dunks. He is the representative of floor-level guards, but his bounce on this ball really shocked everyone.
It’s not about how high the jump is, but the contrast is too strong compared to the past.
After grabbing the rebound, Lin Yu turned around to advance the fast break.
But the Heat seemed to be well prepared. After Wade missed the mid-range shot, all the other Heat players except the two inside players retreated.
"Pat Riley has been prepared for this. He knows very well that the Cavaliers need to focus on their defensive counterattacks."
Pat Riley not only guarded against the Cavaliers' defensive counterattack tactics, the Heat also played several counterattacks in the opening game. In an interview before the game, the fortune teller also said: The Cavaliers' style of play is exactly how he envisions the future of basketball.
, so the Heat also began to learn from this style of play.
The counterattack was unsuccessful and Lin Yu slowed down.
Several insiders running wildly in the backcourt quickly crossed the half court. Lin Yu, who continued to control the ball, greeted Big Z and received a spot cover from Big Z.
After the screen, Lin Yu controlled the ball and walked directly in. His speed soared, but he faced an unguarded basket.
Dwyane Wade was directly blocked by Big Z's screen, but before Alonzo Mourning could get into position, Lin Yu just rushed straight to the basket without turning at all.
Exclaims and screams came one after another, and it seemed that everyone was about to witness a dunk.
Lin Yu had no intention of holding back at all. Since he was cheated, he was heading towards the sun.
Stepping on the inner circle of the free throw line, Lin Yu jumped up. He was a little bold, just because he had confirmed that there was not a single Heat defensive player within a radius of two or three meters.
boom!
Amidst the huge buzzing sound, Lin Yu slammed the ball into the basket.
The American Airlines Center was quiet for about a second, and then Lin Yu, who was hanging the basket, suddenly pulled the basket and let out a roar.
Only then did the boos erupt, filling the entire arena.
"With the violent dunk, China's Lin looked completely different after his reappearance. Did Dwyane Wade stimulate him?"
Kenny Smith ignored his tendency to be slapped in the face and his eyes widened in surprise.
Charles Barkley shook his head: "The Chinese Lin of these two goals is the Linsanity we are familiar with. He seems to be going all out. Just like Kenny said, Dwyane Wade's opening
The rampage angered China Lin."
After just two rounds of offense, Charles Barkley was sure that Lin Crazy was coming again, and the Chinese Lin who really went all out was here...
After a successful attack and defense for the Cavaliers, the score became 26:15, and the point difference continued to narrow to 11 points.
Then there was another round of defense, the Heat's offense, Wade advancing with the ball, and it was still James who defended him.
In the duel between James and Wade, Wade broke through and tried to pass James directly after accelerating with all his strength.
But in the competition of speed, James was totally worthy. He followed closely and refused to give an inch.
Relying on his excellent condition, Wade took two steps forward, made a pull-up jumper, and shot directly. James also jumped up and flew to interfere.
With a bang, basketball strikes again.
Lin Yu easily grabbed the rebound.
"LeBron James' defense is very effective, Dwyane Wade has hit the iron twice in a row, and the Cavaliers have an opportunity!"
Wade continued to hit the iron, and Kenny Smith was finally surprised. The situation on the field seemed to be reversed all of a sudden. The Cavaliers relied on a substitution and an adjustment of defensive alignment to directly smooth out the disadvantage on the field.
…
"Mike Brown has the potential to become the best coach this season..."
Mike Brown is not the focus. Charles Barkley is staring at Lin Yu who is running wildly with the ball on the court.
"China Lin's counterattack with the ball, the Heat retreated quickly, and Dwyane Wade caught up. He wanted to entangle China Lin."
Wade's entangled defense, Lin Yu, who was traveling at high speed, pulled the ball horizontally, then turned around in an instant and directly passed Wade.
He wanted to stop and tell Wade: You don't have a death entanglement, why don't you just keep on guard?
But there was no way. Wade was so confident in this game that after Lin Yu cheated, Wade's confidence directly turned into arrogance.
"Counterattack! China Lin directly passed Dwyane Wade who wanted to delay him, and now only Anthony Walker is left in front of him!"
Anthony Walker retreated into the penalty area, seemingly waiting for Lin Yu's arrival.
However, Lin Yu braked suddenly outside the three-point line and jumped into the air. The originally noisy American Airlines Center became quiet again.
"China Lin's three-point chase!"
Charles Barkley's shout.
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a crisp sound of wiping the net.
There was a bang, and there was another exclamation.
The commentary box immediately erupted with screams: "The ball has been scored! Oh my God, after China Lin came back on the stage, he scored 7 points in a row!"
"He has gone berserk!"
Lin Yu, who was running wild, waved his right arm to shoot a three-pointer, and in front of him was Dwyane Wade, who had just been thrown away by him. The scene in front of him looked quite strange, and the American Airlines Center was booed again.
Amid the boos, the scoreboard jumped sharply. At 26:18, the Cavaliers were immediately caught up to 8 points behind, and the Heat's double-digit lead was just gone.
With a beep, Pat Riley decisively called the Heat's first timeout of the game.
"The fortune teller called a timeout because the Cavaliers launched a 7-0 offensive wave, and the Heat's original double-digit lead has now been reduced to 8 points."
Lin Yu walked to the side of the court amid cheers from the Cavaliers bench, and Mike Brown ran over and patted Lin Yu on the back.
"Well done, Lin!"
Phil Handy also smiled and shouted: "You didn't let us down, Lin!"
LeBron James was also smiling, but he didn't look as excited as other Cavaliers players. If Lin Yu could hear James' inner voice, he would hear a complaint: Hey, Mike, Phil,
