"Four games, three best games, China Lin played an extremely outstanding series performance!"
After the fourth game, major media summaries about this series were released, and Lin Yu became the player who was highly praised in all summaries.
In the first game of four games, Lin Yu scored a game-best 31 points, plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
In the second game, Lin Yu was still the best in the game. His statistics were 29 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
In the third game, even though the team was in a sluggish state, Lin Yu still scored a team-high 23 points, plus 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, plus a key that determined the outcome of the game.
With three points, Lin Yu was once again elected the best player of the game.
In the fourth game, Lin Yu was the only game in which he was not the best player. He was still efficient, scoring 25 points on 10 of 17 shots, plus 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.
In four games, Lin Yu defeated Grant Hill, averaging 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.25 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.
It can be said that Lin Yu performed a playoff performance that exceeded his average performance in the regular season.
If Dirk Nowitzki, who is next door, is about to be labeled as a playoff slut because of this year's playoffs, Lin Yu is the sleepy man in the regular season and the awakening lion in the playoffs!
Lin Yu’s performance in four games was ridiculed on reddit
"China Lin thought he was here to hold his thigh, but when the playoffs started, he discovered that he was the real thigh."
"It's said that China Lin joined the Cavaliers because he couldn't beat them. But the current situation is that in the first round of the playoffs, he is the Cavaliers' best player!"
"The Cavaliers' best player? Where did you put LeBron?"
"At this time, a hardcore Zhan Mi passed by upstairs. He looked left and right. He couldn't help it, and finally became an honest man..."
"..."
After finishing the first round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland as soon as possible.
They need to wait for the Heat and Raptors, who are fourth and fifth in the Eastern Conference, to decide the winner, but the Heat and Raptors played very anxiously, with the first two games tied at 1:1.
Then in the third game, the game moved to Miami. The Heat won the first home game and led with a total score of 2:1. However, by the time the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland, the Cavaliers' opponents in the next round of the playoffs
Still haven't decided yet.
Until then, the knight can only keep waiting, waiting in regular training, constantly resting, and recharging his energy...
While waiting, they will inevitably watch other teams' games, which can be regarded as observing their opponents.
Mike Brown, Brendan Malone and others are naturally paying close attention to the game between the Heat and the Raptors, because their opponents in the next round will be determined from it.
It's not that they have no confidence in the Cavaliers winning the next round, but they are pursuing an easy victory. If they can win the game easily, why not?
Therefore, Mike Brown has been observing the Raptors and Heat games.
In the fourth game, the Heat won again at home, with a score of 102:89. Dwyane Wade broke out, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
As a result, the Heat got the match point. Mike Brown said with regret: "The Heat actually won. They are leading 3:1. Our opponent is about to be decided..."
Mike Brown feels it is a pity because the Cavaliers have lost more time to continue to observe the next round of opponents, and if the Raptors cannot force the series to a sixth or even seventh game, the Heat may keep some of them.
trump card.
In any case, the combination of Dwyane Wade plus Shaquille O'Neal, even if O'Neal declines too much and lacks dominance, the Cavaliers cannot take it lightly.
Who can guarantee that O'Neal will not break out when he encounters the Cavaliers' inside combination? Who can guarantee that Lin Yu will not be defeated when facing Wade?
Once O'Neal breaks out and Wade defeats Lin Yu, it's still unclear who will win in the second round of the playoffs.
Therefore, Mike Brown now hopes to see the Heat's trump card to strengthen his confidence.
On the other side, Lin Yu has been paying attention to the duel between the Mavericks and the Warriors.
On the one hand, it is related to the income of 3 million US dollars. On the other hand, whether the poisonous milk stalk creation can be successful is very critical.
Game 4 between the Mavericks and Warriors will still be held at the Oracle Center in Oakland, the home of the Warriors.
Before the game, the media emphasized that this game was very important to the Mavericks and could not be missed.
"Dallas must win this game. They have no room for mistakes, because once they lose this game, the Warriors will get the match point."
In the match point game, the Mavericks paid 12 points of attention, and everyone was working hard.
In the first quarter, they took a 6-point lead at 27:21.
Then came the second quarter, and the Warriors relied on their familiar chaos to regain their 6-point disadvantage.
At halftime, the score was 49:49, and the two teams were tied.
The third quarter was still intense, with the two teams going back and forth and refusing to give in. At the end of the third quarter, it was still a tie at 77:77.
Finally, it’s the decisive battle in the fourth quarter.
The decisive moment, the moment when superstars perform.
Under the defense of Stephen Jackson, Dirk Nowitzki failed to shoot accurately, making only 3 of 9 shots. Although he scored 8 points in a single quarter, he failed to beat the Warriors due to low efficiency.
On the Warriors side, no one is a lone hero, because the Warriors are all members of the team.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jason Richardson and Stephen Jackson hit three-pointers one after another, and then Baron Davis scored consecutive singles.
The Warriors' chaotic battle was in full swing and they quickly took the lead.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks with a score of 103:99 at their home court, surprisingly getting the match point!
"The Golden State Warriors won two games in a row and got the match point. It's incredible. The Black Eight miracle seems to be not far away!"
Mike Breen roared on the TV. In front of the TV, Lin Yu breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The Warriors' black eight should be stable!
The Cavaliers continued to wait for the Heat and Raptors to decide their opponents in the next round. While waiting, they launched targeted training.
Because the Heat have got the match point, Lin Yu will most likely face Dwyane Wade in the second round, which will put him under a lot of pressure. Therefore, during this period, Mike Brown has been looking for a solution.
On the one hand, he tried to get Lin Yu to focus on defense, so Lin Yu has been conducting special defensive training during this period.
On the other hand, Mike Brown is also considering using LeBron James to defend Wade.
While Lin Yu was training, he also took time out to be interviewed by reporters stationed on the roadside.
"Lin, can you talk about the first-round showdown between the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors? You have been emphasizing before that the Dallas Mavericks will definitely enter the next round. Do you still think so now?"
Lin Yu's answer was: "Of course!"
"But the Dallas people are already behind 1:3!"
"There are many examples of comebacks from 1:3 deficit. Why wouldn't the Dallas Mavericks be among them?"
Lin Yu spread his hands and continued to poison the milk.
