With two fake moves, a series of physical confrontations, and even a fight against Ben Wallace who came to defend, Lin Yu used a throw to help the Knicks lead the Cavaliers 2:0 in the opening game.
Michael Jordan's addition has undoubtedly further improved Lin Yu's confrontation ability and ability to score at the basket. Coupled with his uncovered three-pointers, he is now a bit of a God of War with all-round skills and no blind spots.
The Cavaliers' counterattack was not slow. In the subsequent offensive round, Delonte West quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and then handed the ball to James.
Facing the top defense of Wilson Chandler and the supplementary defense of Kwame Brown, James rushed up in one step, like a huge armored car, unstoppably drove into the paint and succeeded in a layup.
Lin Yu, who had been guarding Jamal Crawford on the wing, was a little helpless. The helpless thing was that Hollins didn't listen to him and used him to defend James.
Looking at it now, Wilson Chandler can't stop James' impact at all. Whether it is physical or experience, Wilson is far behind.
Shaking his head secretly, Lin Yu returned to the offensive end, but he also decisively made a single, stopped mid-range and then shot a jump shot.
Jamal Crawford's defense was like a fake and had no interference effect on Lin Yu at all.
Lin Yu's jump shot also added a little backward arc, and with a snap, he scored the goal beautifully. Lin Yu thus achieved the achievement of hitting two consecutive hits in the opening game.
But looking back, the Cavaliers' offense and James' sudden score found an opportunity. Outside Delonte West made a move and hit a three-pointer in the opening game.
The cheers at the Quicken Loans Center completely erupted, and then, against the cheers, Lin Yu shot a chasing three-pointer. The shot was a little hasty and missed.
Not only were the cheers not suppressed, they even continued to hit every corner of the stadium like a tidal wave.
In the next round, James' breakthrough was still an unparalleled success, attracting multiple attacks from the Knicks. After another point, David Lee broke into the basket along the baseline from the bottom corner and caught the ball for a dunk.
The situation of the game was completely out of the Knicks' control.
Lin Yu knew that starting from James's two assists, the difficulty of this game had been increasing in a ladder-like manner, because James had already led his teammates, and this kind of Cavaliers was the most terrifying.
Lionel Hollins did not pause to make adjustments, because in terms of score, the Knicks were still 4:7, only 3 points behind. They still had the ball. Judging from the score alone, the situation was not bad.
control.
Lin Yu also knows this very well, so even if the game is difficult, he is still confident.
There is only three points left, then, one ball after another, it will be over.
Lin Yu suddenly became less impatient in the Knicks' offense. Lowry controlled the frontcourt, and Lin Yu circled around to receive the ball in the middle distance. He continued to face Jamal Crawford's defense and the hidden inside line.
Assistance and supplementary defense.
He asked for a screen from Zach Randolph and used the screen to move inside.
They say they are walking, but they are actually rushing!
Lin Yu's momentum was very fast and a bit unstoppable. Jamal Crawford was left behind early by him. Ben came to make up the defense. Lin Yu made a fake shot and missed Ben.
Then he actually took the shot and threw the ball against Da Ben's thick arm.
There was a beep and the referee whistle sounded.
"Foul, there is no doubt about it!"
With a swish sound, the basketball also got into the basket the next second.
"The ball also went in! China Lin played too resolutely. This is a 2+1 goal. Two points are valid and there is an additional penalty!"
Lin Yu patted his chest, showing some excitement, and there was a faint boo at the Quicken Loans Center. This was dissatisfaction with Lin Yu's overreaction.
Stepping onto the free throw line, Lin Yu accurately hit the extra penalty.
In this way, the situation that was about to collapse in the previous round stabilized immediately after this round.
With the score tied at 7:7, the Cavaliers began their offensive round.
Wilson Chandler couldn't stop James. The Cavaliers' breakout system was fully activated. With another breakthrough, James scored two points and once again gave the Cavaliers the lead.
Then, when the Knicks attacked, Lin Yu continued to play singles, and still broke through to the mid-range. This time, Ben's defense was a step slower. When he rushed to the front, Lin Yu had already stepped back and shot.
With a swish sound, the mid-range shot hit!
The score of 9:9, the tie continues...
"The game is turning into a star showdown between Lin and LeBron. The two have controlled the Knicks and Cavaliers' offenses respectively. It seems that there is nothing the Cavaliers or Knicks can do to stop them from tearing apart their defense."
After the consecutive draws, the first person who lost his composure was Mike Brown.
Or maybe it's not that Mike Brown can't hold his breath, it's just that compared to Hollins, his adjustments are simpler and more straightforward.
With a dead ball opportunity, Mike Brown replaced another old Knicks player, Quentin Richardson, and gave him the task of defending Lin Yu.
Then, after this dead-ball substitution, the Knicks, who were 2 points behind, launched an attack. Lin Yu discovered that the Cavaliers' defense had changed.
"Big Q's one-on-one defense, Delonti also moved closer, and the Cavaliers completely left the weak side open. It seemed like they were going to attack Lin Yu at all costs."
Magic immediately affirmed this adjustment: "Planching Lin Yu is the right approach. The Knicks are very dependent on Lin Yu's scoring in this game. So far in the game, the Knicks have never scored a goal that did not pass through Lin Yu.
As long as Lin Yu is locked down, the opportunity to widen the point difference will appear."
The magician's analysis is correct, but that is when the knight needs to face Lin Yu in a normal state, but now, Lin Yu is very abnormal...
Faced with a flanking attack, Lin Yu still rushed in forcefully.
The existence of Quentin Richardson provides a tougher confrontation, but this level of confrontation still cannot stop Lin Yu.
After Lin Yu broke in, he was surrounded by Delonte West and Big Q on the right side of the free throw line. Only the weak side was open.
Lin Yu had never seen Jordan play much. He simply felt that the two men in front of him did not put much pressure on him.
He swayed with his back for a moment, then suddenly took a step back and shot a fadeaway jumper.
"Facing a double attack, take a fadeaway jumper!"
Lin Yu leaned back sharply, and Big Q and Delonte West also jumped up, trying their best to interfere with Lin Yu.
The basketball threw an arc, and with a swish sound, it got into the basket.
"The ball is in!"
There was an exclamation in the Quicken Loans Center. After the ball, the score was even!
"Faced with a double attack, Lin Yu still resolutely scored the goal. His condition in this game was so good and his performance was so strong!"
