Chapter 226 The backcourt partner of the All-Star game
The score was overtaken just like that, and everyone was stunned.
After Lin Yu came on the stage, the Heat's offense was completely misfired, or to be more precise, Wade was locked up by Lin Yu's defense.
A layup against the defense was missed, and two direct shots off screens were missed. Wade directly shot a three-iron.
On the other hand, Lin Yu hit all three shots, and the two men's states formed a sharp contrast.
"The surprising China Lin, his explosion not only helped the Cavaliers complete the reversal, but also successfully helped himself reverse Dwyane Wade."
"The Chinese Lin with 23 points faced Dwyane Wade with 19 points. He has escaped from a huge disadvantage at the beginning, came from behind and successfully gained the advantage."
Lin Yu, who had successfully completed the reversal, still did not stop. In the next attack and defense, he forced Wade to take a screen, then he went around the screen to defend a pull-up jumper, and once again defended a fine shot.
Then he counterattacked, rushed into the penalty area, scored two points again with an easy layup, and further widened the point difference.
Lin Yu, who scored 25 points in a row, became unstoppable and could not be restricted.
However, after Wade made four consecutive shots, he hit a mid-range shot against Lin Yu's defense. The commentator on the scene shouted: "Dwayne finally adjusted back, he found his touch."
After Wade scored a goal, he finally opened up his scoring account against Lin Yu's defense.
But compared to Lin Yu, whose offensive efficiency was so high, Wade's efficiency was at least one level lower. Therefore, with Lin Yu's continuous scoring like running water, the score was quickly opened by the Cavaliers.
Mike Brown looked confused off the court. He just made such a substitution without expecting the situation to improve. As a result, Lin Yu's explosion directly led the Cavaliers to overtake the score, and even now expanded the seemingly hard-won lead.
Advantage.
Also confused was LeBron James. Although he had already thought that all the limelight of this game would be stolen by Lin Yu, he never imagined that Lin Yu would be in such a hot state in this game.
Lin Yu, who is about to score over 30 points at halftime, seems to be heading towards his personal single-game scoring record.
At the end of the half, the Cavaliers, who were originally lagging behind, led the Heat by 8 points, 55:47, due to Lin Yu's rampage.
"There is no doubt that Dwyane Wade dominated the first half of the first quarter, but after Lin Yu went berserk, the entire scene belonged to Lin Yu."
"In the entire first half, Lin Yu scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. This is a very gorgeous statistic even if it is included in the entire game."
"In comparison, Dwyane Wade, another player who was in hot form and scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal at halftime, even pales in comparison."
At halftime, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box praised Lin Yu in unison.
When the halftime break ended and the game resumed in the second half, Lin Yu's fiery state still did not fade away.
He continued to play, and combined with LeBron James, who was gradually regaining his form, to further expand the lead. However, the Heat, which relied on Wade alone, was slowly unable to hold on.
In the third quarter, Lin Yu scored another 11 points in a single quarter, directly raising his personal score to 41 points, plus 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
The fourth quarter is not a decisive quarter, because the Cavaliers' lead has expanded to double digits. Lin Yu hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot in succession, as well as two more assists for James' mid-range shots.
The shot was successful.
The Cavaliers quickly expanded their lead to over 20 points.
The moment the game lost suspense, Mike Brown and Pat Riley both made substitutions, the main players left the field, and substitutes at the end of the bench came on.
Lin Yu also sat on the bench with more than 7 minutes left in the game, and his data was fixed.
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box began to praise Lin Yu in unison again: "With 46 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, China Lin handed over a perfect statistics sheet.
!”
"Compared to Dwyane Wade who had 33 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, in the last game of this self-certification journey, he undoubtedly won a complete victory!"
"The complete victory against Michael Redd, the complete victory against Vince Carter, and this complete victory against Dwyane Wade, Sports Illustrated's Eastern Conference shooting guard ranking list, now it seems that it is simply given to China Lin Ding
I was given the task of breaking out in these three games.”
"Obviously, he has done a great job. He has defeated his opponent China Lin continuously and has turned that ranking list into a big joke."
Kenny Smith continued: "Charles is right. Although his personal average data is still not superior, his direct matchup performance is completely worthy of those star shooting guards who have better average data per game than him.
This tells us that when comparing players at the same position, we cannot just look at average data per game. Sometimes, data can be deceiving."
"By the way, Charles, I suddenly thought of a game last season, the first match between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics. Do you still remember it?"
Charles Barkley, who was reminded by Kenny Smith, immediately thought: "The one where he made all 26 shots?"
"Yes, it was that game. China Lin made a miracle of hitting all 26 shots. He made the Miami people become the background. And in this game, China Lin's explosion once again made the Miami people the background.
"
"He seems to be the Heat's killer. He always jumps out and delivers a painful blow to the Heat, leading his team to defeat the Heat."
Obviously, Kenny Smith still didn't expect that the one-mark-and-four defense that was very restrained by Lin Yu also came from the Heat and was created by Pat Riley.
Although Lin Yu and the Heat have no apparent intersection, the connection between him and the Heat is very deep. To put it simply, they are constantly hurting each other. However, as Lin Yu progresses, this kind of harm has gradually turned into a single relationship.
Some damage was done.
If Lin Yu cheats, the Heat can't do anything, and if Lin Yu doesn't cheat, the Heat will have a hard time getting back on Lin Yu.
At the end of the game in the empty American Airlines Center, only a handful of fans were left on the sidelines.
The Cavaliers players high-fived each other, celebrating a victory that was very easy from the score but very difficult from the perspective of the process.
Lin Yu high-fived LeBron James, walked to the sidelines, and quickly hugged Wade, who came directly to the door.
"Lin, you deserve a starting position in the All-Star Game. I look forward to partnering with you in the All-Star Game."
Lin Yu smiled: "I'm also looking forward to it. I believe we will be a backcourt partner who works well together."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Not far behind them, LeBron James was being interviewed. His eyes kept moving to this area, as if he was looking for or observing something.
