Lin Yu refused to evaluate himself, nor did he evaluate James. After avoiding answering, he turned around and left without giving Doris Burke a chance to ask questions.
The Knicks' press officer also immediately made supplementary defense to block Doris Burke, who still had more to say.
"Doris, you should be able to tell that Lin is very tired and needs to rest."
Doris Burke was also a little helpless. She couldn't get the answer she wanted and could only send the picture back to the main studio.
In the main studio, the screen is focused on Mike Breen and Marv Albert.
Mike Breen had a cold face and shook his head: "As for Lin and LeBron, this game has been very obvious. Lin Yu, who played for 36 minutes and 23 seconds, made 12 of 24 shots in the entire game, five
With a perfect shooting percentage, he scored 37 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, which is extremely efficient."
"On the other hand, LeBron's statistics for this game: he played 43 minutes, made 10 of 26 shots, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. He scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block."
"In terms of statistics, LeBron is much worse than Lin. His shooting percentage is lower and his points are lower. The only thing he has more rebounds is."
"Judging from the course of the game, the Cavaliers performed well in the first half, but in the second half, they played very poorly, and in this terrible second half, LeBron did not perform at all. He was completely trapped by the Knicks' defense, but on the other side
Lin, who was also under heavy siege, successfully led the Knicks. This is the biggest difference between the two."
Groom Albert did not express any objection or approval. He just kept nodding. It was not until the end of the broadcast that he told Mike Breen with a heartfelt feeling: "Mike, you are setting the pace..."
Mike Breen indeed set the pace. After the game, the Knicks and Cavaliers naturally grabbed the headlines——
"Lin Yu scored 37 points, and the Knicks easily defeated the Cavaliers!"
"The winning streak continues and New York continues to lead!"
"..."
Apart from these mundane reports, the rest of the reports almost all revolve around Mike Breen's words, that is: this game reflects the gap between Lin Yu and LeBron James.
For example, Zach Lowe published a column after the game: "Is this game the difference between Lin and LeBron? You can say that!"
In the article, Zach Lowe and Mike Breen had similar arguments. They both discussed the process of the game. Through the process of the game, they proved that the Cavaliers lost the game because Lin Yu performed better, and
James' performance was even worse.
If Zach Lowe is already the official reporter of Lin Yu, who has a clear-cut stance, then Sam Amick of USA Today also gave a similar point of view, that is:
"In terms of personal ability, there is no level gap between Lin and LeBron, but Lin is better at leading the team to win than LeBron."
He denied that Lin Yu was better than James, but affirmed that there was a gap between James and Lin Yu.
It seems that this sentence is contradictory. In fact, Sam Amick expressed another point of view, a point of view that is more acceptable to Jamie.
Based on Sam Amick, Bill Simmons added a line of explanation to make it easier to understand:
"Rather than saying that there is a gap between LeBron and Lin, it is better to say that there is a gap between LeBron's style and Lin's style."
"What is LeBron's style? He is not good at long-range shooting, but his physical fitness is strong. He is the best in the history of the league. He is good at breakthroughs and has a self-contained breakout system. He can kill everyone in today's league. He is known as the genius.
The chosen son..."
"What is Lin Yu's style? He is a shooter who can shoot from long distances. He is even considered to change the trend of the league with his long-range three-pointers. His physical fitness is also very good and he is good at both offense and defense. He entered the league in the second round.
, who has been on the bench for two seasons, can be regarded as a player who has truly worked his way up from the bottom.”
"In terms of style, LeBron is physical. His style of play can improve the team's lower limit, but it rarely improves the team's upper limit."
"Lin Yu is completely different. He is technically proficient and can raise the team's upper limit. He has proven this during the Cavaliers' championship season. But at the same time, his physical fitness is also excellent and he has the physical prowess."
The characteristics have also improved the team’s lower limit.”
"So, the gap between LeBron and Lin is not a gap in personal ability, but a gap in style..."
Sam Amick's views and Bill Simmons' explanation have been recognized by the most people.
But some experts and reporters believe that a game cannot explain anything.
The most typical and representative one is naturally James’s royal reporter Brian Windhorst.
"10 of 26 shots. LeBron was clearly out of shape in this game. This was not a LeBron-like performance or performance. The shooting percentage proves this. Therefore, this game really can't explain anything."
Brian Windhorst's views are very niche and have attracted a lot of opposition.
A fan posted on the Reddit forum to ridicule: "One game can't explain anything, last season's playoffs can always explain it, right?"
"Give LeBron some more chances. Anyway, he's given enough, and there won't be more than one game or two left."
"Understand Brian Windhorst. After all, he still relies on LeBron to make a living."
"..."

In Cleveland, it was already the second day of the game, and Lin Yu and his Knicks had already left.
The Cavaliers did not arrange training. This is Terry Stotts' practice. The day after the game day must be a rest day.
Although it was a rest day, LeBron James did not take a rest. He went to the Cavaliers' training facility to practice extra alone.
Various shots hit the frame, but he worked tirelessly to shoot continuously, and most of them were three-pointers.
Beside him, Rich Paul was thinking hard.
He is the smartest among the brothers around James. He was also the first to understand what this defeat means to LeBron James after this game.
What does it mean?
This means that LeBron James has completely lost to Lin Yu. Unless he takes revenge in the playoffs this season, it will be difficult for James to make a comeback.
Going a step further, the intra-team battle between James and Lin Yu had already decided the winner.
Some fans are already exaggerating this. They are saying that the Cavaliers should regret the deal that sent away Lin Yu.
Some media reporters who like to lead the way wrote: Compared with LeBron, Lin is the real chosen one!
Rich Paul naturally doesn't want to see this, because the more profound impact is that James' personality has collapsed, which will affect James' commercial value.
"It's time for LeBron to transform..."
Rich Paul naturally knows the reason. Three-pointers, James' shortcomings, are in urgent need of reinforcement...
