"I don't know when Kevin became a master of talking. I don't want to talk to him. I can only say that in the training before this game, I have always been in great condition."
In the parking lot of Quicken Loans Center, Lin Yu answered reporters’ questions.
Kevin Garnett's continuous rhetoric has successfully skewed public opinion. Now, everyone is concerned about Lin Yu's status in the second Eastern Conference Finals.
Some people say that Lin Crazy lasts for several games. In the second Eastern Conference Finals, Lin Yu's state will definitely be the same.
Some people also say that the intensity of the playoffs is different from that of the regular season. Under high-intensity confrontation, it is difficult to continue the explosive state like the regular state.
The actual situation is that Lin Yu has already been thinking about which time-limited card he will use for the upcoming game.
Ku Ritian has disappeared from Lin Yu's inventory. Now, except for the "Three Minutes of Death" in the system warehouse, which can only last three minutes, Lin Yu can only choose two time-limited cards.
A "Buddha's Light Shining" special effect card (1/1), and a "South Coast Janeway Experience Card" (2/2).
Two time-limited cards, the "Buddha's Light Shining" effect is incredible. In contrast, the Janeway Experience Card can be used in two games, but the effect in a single game is much worse.
"Since the fans of the Green Army feel that their loss is not miserable enough, then let them lose even more miserably in this game!"
If you want the Celtics to lose even more miserably, you can only have "Buddha's Light Shining".
[Buddha's Light: Special effects card, after use, will increase the host's scoring explosive power in a short period of time. The specific performance is: various shooting attributes are increased by 200%. The first five shots at the beginning and the last shot before the end of the game will definitely hit...
】
Various shooting attributes are increased by 200%. In this regard, the effect should be similar to Ku Ritian's effect, because they are only added to Lin Yu's shooting, and there is no bonus to the accompanying breakthrough or off-ball, which means
If the Celtics resort to a multi-person attack and defense tactic again, Lin Yu will still have to misfire.
However, the opening five shots and the last shot before the end of the game are bound to hit, which means that Lin Yu can score at least 6 goals in this game. If each goal is a three-pointer, he can score 18 points guaranteed.
This is the incredible thing about this time-limited card.
At Quicken Loans Center, the Cavaliers fans in the second game were even crazier than in the first game.
"The Cleveland Cavaliers ushered in their second Eastern Conference Finals game. The victory in the first game helped them build confidence. Now, Cavaliers fans are even more looking forward to the second Eastern Conference Finals game."
Quicken Loans Center turned into a devil's home stadium. Amid the fierce cheers, the home team felt very comfortable.
But for the visiting team, as soon as they make a move, they will be immediately booed and oppressed from all over the place. This kind of experience and perception is naturally extremely bad.
The commentary team for this game was replaced by the trio of Mike Breen, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.
The focus was on Barkley and Kenny Smith, who had just finished commentating on the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and Jazz in San Antonio the day before.
As a result, before the game, amid the noise in the sky, they expressed their opinions from various angles: "The strength gap in the Western Conference finals is too big. There is really no suspense. It's too boring. I hope the Eastern Conference finals can be different."
Mike Breen, who commented on the first game between the Cavaliers and Celtics, was stunned: "If there is a huge gap and there is no suspense, I am afraid that the gap in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals is even greater..."
Charles Barkley immediately shook his head: "No, it's different. Although the score difference in the first Eastern Conference Finals was large, it was surprising, while the score difference in the Western Conference Finals was slightly smaller, but it was expected."
Kenny Smith added: "And we are also looking forward to China Lin's performance. Whether he can continue his hot state in the first Eastern Conference Finals means whether the discussion about Danny Ainge will continue..."
Mike Breen glared at him: "Is this important?"
Kenny Smith nodded as he should: "Of course, you know, now there are only two NBA games to watch in four or five days. It's so boring. During the intermission period, I rely on Danny Ainge to pass the time.
!”
While there was a random discussion in the commentary box, the warm-up of the two teams ended on the field. The starters had already taken off their training jackets and stood in the middle of the field.
In Game 2, both the Cavaliers and Celtics changed their starting lineups.
"The game is about to start. Both the Cavaliers and Celtics have adjusted their starting lineups. On the Cavaliers' side, Daniel Gibson replaced Andre Miller in the starting lineup, while on the Celtics' side, Laga Rondo
Replaced Chucky Atkins as starter."
"Both teams have replaced a rookie point guard. The difference is that Daniel Gibson prefers offense, while Rajon Rondo prefers defense."
"This battle between spears and shields looks sharper and more targeted!"
Lin Yu saw Ragnarok Rondo, and he probably understood what kind of adjustments Doc Rivers had made for him.
"Raga Rondo's appearance means that the Celtics' perimeter defense has become more flexible and changeable. I think that in this game, it will be Raga Rondo who will defend China Lin, because compared to Ray A
Lin, on the defensive end, Laga worked harder and was more willing to invest, and he was able to complete the task of limiting China Lin alone."
In the commentary box, Kenny Smith immediately made a guess. His guess was close to the facts. Doc Rivers indeed had this idea.
Rondo came on the stage and better guarded Lin Yu. In this way, the Celtics could adopt a one-man-four-defense tactic, with one man-marking Lin Yu and four defenses forming a chain defense formation to deal with the threat from LeBron James.
As the referee walked to the center of the court with the basketball in hand, the two teams had already set up their opening formations. Lin Yu was surprised to find that the Celtics had made another change. The way to fight against big Z's jump ball was from Perkins.
Replaced by Garnett.
After the whistle sounded, Garnett won the jump ball without any suspense, and the Celtics got the ball for the first attack.
Laga Rondo caught the ball and sprinted to the frontcourt, but did not pass the ball.
This is another change the Celtics have made. In this game, they will reduce isolation and increase offensive coordination to solve the offensive dilemma in the previous game.
Laga Rondo's ball-handling was not taken seriously. The Celtics' Big Three attracted too much defensive focus from the Cavaliers. As soon as Rondo came on the court, he used a sudden breakthrough through the screen to get to the basket and successfully
The throw was successful.
"Raga Rondo hit a floater. The rookie point guard made his first start in the Eastern Conference Finals. As soon as he came on the court, he helped the Celtics score!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but take another look at Rondo. He thought of the discussion thread on reddit. In the subsequent discussion, someone made detailed statistics on Lin Yu's transaction.
According to statistics, the Celtics traded Lin Yu and some cash to get Laga Rondo, Alexander Pavlovich, a first-rounder and a second-rounder. Now it seems that this transaction is a waste of money.
.
But Lin Yu knows that in the future, this transaction will not be so bad, because Rondo's value has been temporarily underestimated.
The Celtics scored first, and the Cavaliers could only serve from the backcourt. Lin Yu received the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt. At this moment, his three-pointer was very hot, but I don’t know if the Celtics took action against this.
