After Lin Yu's second three-pointer, Doc Rivers still held back, holding the timeout in his hand without making any movement.
When faced with such a Lin Yu, no matter how much he pauses and adjusts, it will be in vain. It is better to save it and wait until a more critical moment to throw it out.
As a result, after these two three-pointers, Lin Yu's efficiency suddenly dropped, and it could even be said to be a landslide.
He first missed a three-point shot against the defense, then missed a mid-range shot, and finally made a difficult close shot against the defense.
Doc Rivers saw the possibility of making Linsanity disappear, and he was ready to make adjustments.
As a result, Mike Brown made adjustments first.
"LeBron, get ready!"
Facing the Celtics' intensive defense, Lin Yu obviously couldn't bear the pressure. He urgently needed a capable teammate to help share the pressure.
That's when LeBron James came on the scene.
Before James came on the court, Lin Yu scored another mid-range fadeaway jumper. The attack lasted 22 seconds and looked very difficult.
Therefore, after James came on the court, Doc Rivers directly made tentative adjustments and shifted the focus of defense to James' side.
Just like Kenny Smith said, if the Celtics want to win, they must make a similar attempt. Use zone defense to block one, and leave the other open to fate.
Not being targeted by the zone defense, with only Tony Allen left in front of him to defend, Lin Yu suddenly felt much more relaxed.
In the first offensive round after the Cavaliers' substitution, he received a pass from James after a breakthrough, made a jumper from beyond the three-point line, and accurately hit the center of the basket.
Whoosh!
Quicken Loans Center burst into cheers.
After more than twenty seconds, the Cavaliers, who had defended against the Celtics' attack, launched an unsuccessful counterattack. Although unsuccessful, they still ended the attack before the Celtics' defense could get into position.
It was Lin Yu who ended the attack. Running wildly on the flank, he took a pass from James and hit another three-pointer!
The cheers at Quicken Loans Center grew louder and louder.
"With two consecutive three-pointers, China Lin used his unparalleled personal performance to tell his opponent that one-on-one defense has no way of stopping him!"
Doc Rivers shook his head helplessly. Unknowingly, Lin Yu, who was locked up by the Celtics' defense in the first quarter and failed to score after scoring 9 points, exploded in the second quarter.
With three three-pointers and two two-pointers, China Lin has scored 16 points so far in the second quarter.
Rivers didn't believe in evil. He didn't think Lin Yu could continue to explode until the end of the second quarter. On the other hand, it was also because the tactical policy had just been adjusted and he didn't want to make any adjustments immediately.
In this way, the game continued without any changes.
Without being targeted by the zone defense, Lin Yu's running without the ball becomes a huge threat. Whether it is a positional battle or a fast break counterattack, he can always run out of space to shoot.
As long as he catches the ball, he will take a shot. As long as he takes a shot, the basketball will mostly hit the basket.
With a swish sound, Lin Yu's mid-range shot went into the net clearly.
At this time, four minutes had passed since Lin Yu hit two consecutive three-pointers after LeBron James came on the scene, and the crisp sound of the net wiping has become extremely familiar.
The cheers were a little tired because of too many times, and the sound was much quieter than before. However, the commentators in the commentary box became more and more excited and excited.
"Another three-pointer, China Lin has completely dominated the field!"
Charles Barkley practically roared.
"In just over four minutes, China Lin hit two consecutive mid-range shots and a three-pointer. During this period, he only missed one mid-range shot. This state is really hot.
!”
In the statistics table, Lin Yu's scoring data kept rising, as if he couldn't stop at all.
Doc Rivers, standing on the Celtics' bench, was already a little desperate. His ability to score explosively was not as strong as Lin Yu's.
However, Lin Yu used another crazy personal performance of scoring 7 points in a row and scoring 23 points in a single quarter, telling Rivers that not guarding him would be an early surrender!
As Lin Yu scored another three-pointer, his score in a single quarter reached 26 points, and the half game ended.
At the end of the first half, Lin Yu, who only scored 9 points in the first quarter, exploded and scored 26 points in the second quarter. As a result, his halftime statistics increased significantly to 35 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal.
.
The Cavaliers relied on Lin Yu's crazy outburst to establish a 24-point lead at halftime.
Charles Barkley officially announced: "Unless Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins both step up and hit three-pointers in the second half, the Celtics may still have a chance to come back, but now, they can only
I accepted my fate."
"The Eastern Conference Finals series will start with a total score of 2:0. The Celtics, who return to their home court, must pay attention to the Chinese Lin who has become Lin crazy."
In the second half, Lin Yu didn't play much. After that, he increased his personal score to 41 points, plus 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.
When the Cavaliers' lead was as high as 33 points, Mike Brown was already preparing to replace Lin Yu.
In the last offensive round, just after half-time, Lin Yu controlled the ball, took two steps, and casually threw the ball in his hand.
But a swish sound!
The ball went in...
Amid the surprised cheers of the entire stadium, Lin Yu knew that this was the system's judgment and that this ball was his last ball of the game.
The last ball must be scored, so no matter how Lin Yu shoots, the ball will hit.
This also means that he has to leave the field early and end the game.
The referee blew his whistle, and amidst the beep of the timer, the Cavaliers made a substitution, and the Celtics followed suit.
"The two teams made substitutions, all the main players left the field, and the game officially entered garbage time."
Lin Yu walked slowly to the sidelines, and the Cavaliers fans in the stadium gave him cheers and shouts. He knew that he was the best player of the Cavaliers in this game, with 44 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 assists.
Steals, a god-level statistic.
The king of the Eastern Conference Finals is gradually going to take action. The only regret is that he didn't get a free throw opportunity until the end of the game.
If there are free throws, maybe he can hear the "mvp" shouts from the whole field.
Pity……
"China Lin received cheers from the audience. In this game, he scored a game-high 44 points. Exactly the same as in the first Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers relied on China Lin's explosion to establish the game early.
victory."
Before the game was over, Kenny Smith began his summary.
"The battle between the three giants ended with a surprising ending for two consecutive games due to the outbreak of China Lin."
Charles Barkley then used a very precise metaphor to tell Kenny Smith that this was not an upset.
"In fact, after the outbreak of China Forest, this duel became a duel between a frustrated Big Three and another enhanced version of Qiaopi. There is no doubt that the enhanced version of Qiaopi will be the final winner!"
