Chapter 472 The game process that deviates from the main line
After the score difference was reduced to 7 points, the Cavaliers began to pay attention to the situation that was somewhat deviated from the main line. In the following offensive round, LeBron James still adhered to a reasonable concept and did not attack hard when faced with a flanking attack, but chose to distribute the ball.
But when Ben Wallace in the paint received the ball and was about to force a layup, Nazr Mohammed pushed Ben down hard and fouled him.
There was a rapid whistle, and the scene suddenly got a little out of control.
Ben rushed towards Nazr Muhammad angrily. Other Cavaliers players also looked a little angry, but Lin Yu and Wilson Chandler stepped forward and held these people back.
The veteran Mohammed spread his hands to express his innocence. Of course, he was not innocent. He was just telling the referee that there was nothing wrong with his foul action.
"Hey, man, that was just a common foul play."
The referee raised his hand and affirmed Nazr Mohammed.
Then he walked aside and warned the Cavaliers players who wanted to cause trouble.
When the situation calmed down, he turned around and gave Nazr Mohammed a common foul, signaling Ben to go to the free throw line.
Seeing Ben sitting on the free throw line as if he was suffering from constipation, Lin Yu probably understood why he was so angry.
He didn't have much offense to begin with, so he finally got a chance to eat the pie, only to be ruined by Nazr Mohammed.
Stepping to the free throw line, Ben immediately missed two free throws. This wave of offense was completely in vain.
With Nazr Muhammad and Zach Randolph blocked, Wilson Chandler grabbed the rebound and then suddenly threw it forward, which was a long pass.
There is no such thing as offside on the basketball court. The moment Ben's second free throw hit the frame, Lin Yu and Lowry rushed to the frontcourt, and Wilson Chandler's pass found him.
Lin Yu has already crossed half the court.
LeBron James was still in the backcourt. He lost the battle for rebounds to Wilson Chandler, who had the advantage. When he turned his head, he only saw Lin Yu and Lowry in the frontcourt, one on the left and one on the left.
On the right, facing the retreating defense of Ben Gordon and Delonte West.
Ben Gordon's defense was like paper and collapsed at the first touch. Delonte West had to lean to Lin Yu's side, leaving Lowry completely empty.
Everyone thought Lin Yu was going to pass the ball, but Lin Yu continued to accelerate and instantly bumped into Delonte West.
Bang!
Delonte West was like a kite with its string broken. He sat straight on the floor from a position about one meter inside the three-point line, and then slid for a while, not stopping until he reached the baseline.
Amid the exclamations from the entire stadium, the referee blew his whistle.
"Defensive foul, no doubt defensive foul, at the last moment, there was no problem with the referee's penalty, Lin can make free throws."
There were loud boos inside the Quicken Loans Center.
Lin Yu walked to the free throw line and began to execute free throws.
His free throw action was very simple. He controlled it twice, raised his head and glanced at the basket, and then threw it. Soon, the first free throw went into the basket with a swish.
The same goes for the second free throw.
"Both free throws were made. They were both free throws. For Ben, the score was equal to zero, but for Lin, the score was completely full."
The magician lamented that the two rounds had the same scoring method but had completely different results.
Reggie Miller shook his head: "But that's not the point. The point is, the score has become 105:100, there are 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, and in the past minute or so, Lin scored two three-pointers in a row.
Two free throws, 8 points in a row!”
"If the Cavaliers can't stop Lin Yu, who suddenly starts to enter a crazy state, a 5-point gap will not be a safe lead."
Of course, a 5-point lead is not safe. Judging from Lin Yu's current explosive scoring power, it is only a matter of two goals.
As a result, the Cavaliers not only began to pay attention to the next game, they were even a little anxious.
"LeBron James urgently needs to prove his scoring ability at critical moments!"
ESPN's two commentators: Reggie Miller and Magic Johnson did not mention this, but the playoffs were broadcast on multiple TV stations, and most of the commentators mentioned the key to James' criticism at this moment.
The ability to score at all times.
However, it must be said to be fair that the statistics of James' key goals are still very good. He scored a lot of points at critical moments and also had classic clinches in his career.
But people will have an impression of James' key difference, and this has something to do with Lin Yu.
It can be said that Lin Yu, whose key shots are unprecedentedly strong, directly makes James's key shots worse.
In Lin Yu's view, what's bad about James is not his key ball ability, but his fighting spirit when the game goes against the wind.
Just like this game, when Lin Yu scored 8 points in a row and brought the game from no suspense back to suspense, James' fighting spirit was still high.
But the problem is that his fighting spirit seems very weak under the Knicks' targeted defense.
Wilson Chandler's improved personal ability played an extremely important role at this moment. Facing James' breakthrough, he did not lose his position and was only weaker in the confrontation.
Lin Yu's defensive attack was in place in time, and James was completely locked in the mid-range position on the left side of the free throw line.
James chose to pass the ball, and he could only choose to pass the ball.
But when Ben Gordon received the ball and faced Lowry's defense, his three-pointer missed the target and hit the frame. The battle for inside rebounds also ended with Zach Randolph winning.
"Ben Gordon's three-pointer missed, and the Knicks got the opportunity to continue to close the score!"
After grabbing the rebound, the opportunity to counterattack quickly appeared in Lin Yu's hands.
This time, the Cavaliers defended very quickly, and James also targeted Lin Yu, but Lin Yu took a step past the center line and immediately made a move.
Whoosh!
Quicken Loans Center was completely quiet, it seemed like a dead place.
LeBron James was also two meters in front of Lin Yu, raising his hands and being stunned.
"The three-pointer just past the center circle...went in!"
Reggie Miller shook his head and expressed his disbelief: "Oh my god! China Lin hit another super long three-pointer. Starting from the last game, his three-pointer seemed to change this era.
The process is the same, one super long three-pointer after another seems to tell the league that this three-point line is not far enough!"
"But more importantly:" Magic Johnson immediately began to emphasize the score: "The score has become 105:103, a difference of 2 points!"
"After this three-pointer, in less than two minutes, China Lin had already scored 11 points in a row!"
There was a beep and the referee blew the whistle.
Mike Brown called a timeout. He looked very bad at the moment. The situation was completely out of control. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before it completely deviated from the Cavaliers' ideal main line.
