"15 of 37 shots, just over 40% of the field goal percentage. Before hitting the buzzer-beater, he missed two consecutive three-pointers, which almost ruined the Cavaliers' victory. He is really...half angel...half devil..."
On the court, the Cavaliers teammates rushed to Lin Yu's side and cheered the moment it was confirmed that the buzzer beater was effective.
Lin Yu, however, acted very calmly and did not participate in the celebration of the winning goal.
Perhaps because of Lin Yu's performance, the boos at the scene gradually weakened, and the atmosphere became less heated and less tit-for-tat.
The game has also passed the final celebration stage, the teammates left excitedly, and the opponents began to appear one by one.
"Why do you always break out at the last moment? Tell me why?"
Pierce hit Lin Yu hard, and Lin Yu smiled and didn't give any answer. Because in this game, he didn't know why he was able to hit that buzzer-beater.
In fact, after two straight irons at the last minute, Lin Yu was already ready to miss the winning shot.
Because the triple iron in the last moment of the game is what he wants to see, so in the post-match interview, the reporter will ask: Why do you still have to take action after throwing consecutive irons?
Lin Yu can give his answer: I would rather make 0 for 30 shots than 0 for 9 shots.
However, when he made the buzzer-beating shot, reporters would only ask: How did you feel when you made that buzzer-beating shot under the pressure of the first two shots?
Lin Yu could only say secretly: What a pity.
On the sidelines of the court, Lin Yu continued to have friendly exchanges with his old teammates Perkins and Tony Allen, and then he saw Laga Rondo again.
At the end of the opening game, Lin Yu complained to Rondo's face about his poor shooting.
This time, Lin Yu smiled again: "Laga, you have to practice your free throws."
It sounded like a sincere suggestion, but Rondo knew very well that it was a mockery. He glared at Lin Yu viciously, and withdrew his hand that was about to give Lin Yu a high-five and hug him.
Well, once again teasing the future of Long Guidance is a success!
Speaking of Long's guidance, Lin Yu took the first step in stealing Long's guidance in this game. At the last moment, the Celtics attacked and he successfully directed his teammates to strangle Pierce's singles.
"The chance of success in directly stealing a meme is low, but if you try it a few times, you should be able to successfully convert Director Long's meme into Director Lin's."
After the game, despite being criticized for being half angel and half devil, Lin Yu made 15 of 37 shots, scored a game-high 38 points, and hit the buzzer-beater, but he was still elected as the best player of the game.
In front of James, Lin Yu accepted a sideline interview with Doris Burke.
Lin Yu guessed all three questions in advance, so he quickly gave the answers he had prepared long ago——
"Why did I choose to continue to shoot the winning three-pointer after two consecutive three-pointers at the last moment? Because I believe in myself, and my teammates also believe in me."
"The exchange between me and Delonte on the Celtics' last attack? Haha, I just saw the Celtics' intention and let Delonti block Paul (Pierce)'s singles route one step ahead. Obviously, in the end,
We succeeded."
"What do you think of the 22 shots in this game? To be honest, when facing a strong defensive team like the Celtics, shooting and hitting shots are inevitable, so I don't care that I shot so many
I just know that we won this game."
The Celtics will double-play this season. Although the Cavaliers and Celtics will have two regular-season clashes in the future, at least Lin Yu can guarantee that he will not be completely defeated in the four regular-season matches in the new season.
A miserable defeat to the Celtics.
Because even if the Cavaliers lose the last two games, the record comparison between the two teams is still 2:2.
Therefore, Lin Yu seems to be very confident. Even if his shooting percentage is bad, even if he hits 22 irons in a game, he is still the old Celtics player who hit the buzzer-beater and took away a victory from TD North Shore Garden Arena.
After the game, another protest movement took place in the Boston area. Fans chanted: Danny Ainge is fired! Doc Rivers is fired! We want China Lin!

After beating the Celtics, before Christmas, the Cavaliers only had one more outstanding opponent, the Lakers.
With Pau Gasol still not joining, the Lakers have an excellent record and have already reached the top three in the Western Conference. It seems that even without strong reinforcements, the Lakers have a chance to avoid a repeat of the plots of the previous two seasons.
.(That is, the scenario of entering the playoffs in seventh or eighth place, and then being defeated by the much stronger Suns and eliminated in the first round.)
Before the 23v24 between the Cavaliers and Lakers happened again, the Cavaliers played two games, against the Bucks at home and against the Knicks away from home.
In these two games, Lin Yu clearly felt that James was becoming more and more alert.
In the two games, when Zhan Lin was on the court at the same time, Lin Yu was almost a 3D blue-collar player, defending, and could only shoot three-pointers.
Lin Yu could only take advantage of the fact that James was not on the court to brush up the statistics and activate the "give me the ball" feature again to take over the game in three minutes.
Combination, he also produced a good data.
He scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals against the Bucks, and 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks against the Knicks.
But obviously, Lin Yu's points in these two games were far lower than his average points per game. Therefore, his average points per game were declining, and he was gradually approached by James on the same team.
As for the battle with the Lakers before Christmas, this game was at home, and Lin Yu still didn't get many opportunities.
Because in terms of personal style characteristics, James restrained Kobe. In James' career, even in the 1.0 period, his winning rate against Kobe was very high.
It can be said that the Cavaliers can win this game even without Lin Yu.
And that was indeed the case. The Cavaliers finally defeated the Lakers 104:90, successfully completing a season doubleheader against the Lakers.
In this game, Lin Yu showed a more blue-collar performance. He had to devote most of his energy to defending Kobe. Then on the offensive end, he took 22 shots, hit 9 goals, and scored 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.
2 steals and 2 blocks, the average points per game continue to decline...
The Cavaliers have been on a winning streak. After defeating the Lakers, they defeated the Warriors at home, ending the last game before Christmas.
In the game against the Warriors, Lin Yu raised his average points per game a bit. Because it was an offensive battle without defense, he directly scored 7 three-pointers and scored 33 points, plus 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
2 steals.
However, in these recent games, James has won the best player award.
It seems that, at some point, James got a manual called "How to Fight for the Ball Reasonably" and successfully suppressed Lin Yu.
