Chapter 063: Poor people must have something to hate
Maurice Cheeks used Matt Barnes and Iguodala's steel striker to directly block Lin Yu's mid- and long-range shots.
Lin Yu can only keep getting into the low post or under the basket, rely on secondary catches, form singles in the low post or under the basket, and beat Matt Barnes in various ways.
"In the low post again, China Lin received the ball and faced Matt Barnes' defense with his back."
Lin Yu tried to turn inward, but Barnes got stuck one step ahead.
Then, Lin Yu directly increased his strength, lowered his body, and formed a sprint momentum, forcefully pushing through Barnes' defense.
"China Lin squeezed out enough space and he jumped up!"
boom!
There was a loud bang, and along with the referee's whistle, Lin Yu let out a hearty roar.
"After dunking in the low post, China Lin also caused a foul on Matt Barnes. The two points are valid and there will be an additional penalty!"
Lin Yu waved his hands excitedly after landing. He achieved another achievement, the first 2+1 achievement in his career.
Lin Yu walked to the free throw line, and Matt Barnes, who was standing on the right side of the penalty circle, stared at Lin Yu angrily.
The second quarter was already in the second half. Barnes, who had just come on the scene and took over the important task, was still ambitious and wanted to make Lin Yu feel defeated in front of him.
But after more than half of the game, he faced the same situation as Iguodala in the first quarter.
Lin Yu avoided the steel defense line in the mid-to-long distance and found a new way to attack from the low post or the basket. In most of the quarter, he had made 6 of 11 shots and scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
With a swish sound, Lin Yu at the free throw line made another accurate free throw. He had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter.
The Celtics also relied on Lin Yu's continuous outbursts to continue to maintain their lead over the 76ers.
After Lin Yu's free throw hit, the 76ers called a timeout, Maurice Cheeks replaced Iverson, and Doc Rivers also replaced Lin Yu.
At halftime of the game, without Lin Yu, Wally Szczerbiak led the bench alone and finally played his role. He withstood the impact of Webb and Iguodala and helped the Celtics.
Maintained the lead against the 76ers.
At halftime, the Celtics led the 76ers by 8 points, 65:57.
"At the end of the half, China Lin, who had a miracle in the last game, continued his crazy path. At the end of the half, he had scored 27 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block."
"In the last game, the Chinese Lin who faced a double team and kept shooting fadeaway jumpers has disappeared. He was replaced by a Chinese Lin who kept attacking from the low post. He grabbed 9 rebounds in the half, and the scoring hot spots were concentrated in the basket.
Down and in the low post, China Lin played more like an inside player in this game!"
The smile returned to Charles Barkley's face, and this time, he finally didn't get slapped in the face.
At the beginning of the second half, the 76ers once again changed the players marking Lin Yu, and Iguodala faced Lin Yu again.
Facing Iguodala's one-on-one defense, Lin Yu's offense suddenly came to life. As soon as he came on the court, he hit a three-pointer and successfully hit it!
In the second half, Lin Yu, who was feeling hot and increasingly unstoppable, scored another 11 points and 6 rebounds in the third quarter. At the end of the three quarters, his statistics had become 38 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
.
Then came the decisive fourth quarter. The tenacious 76ers kept the deficit within 10 points and maintained the hope of reversing the game and winning the game.
"The 76ers just completed a 19-point comeback in Minnesota yesterday. Andre Iguodala hit the buzzer-beater to defeat the Timberwolves."
"This game has just reached the 6th minute and 47 seconds of the fourth quarter. They are only 9 points behind, and there is still enough time to stage another reversal..."
On the court, Allen Iverson broke through Tony Allen's defense and hit a layup, narrowing the point difference to 7 points.
In the Celtics' offense, Lin Yu held the ball. Facing Iguodala's one-on-one defense, he tried to break through. Matt Barnes on the wing directly came over, and he could only pass the ball.
"The 76ers went back to their defensive strategy in the second quarter. The difference is that the one who was mainly defending China Lin became Andre Iguodala."
Iguodala closely followed Lin Yu's footsteps. Even if Lin Yu passed the ball, he had no intention of relaxing.
After passing the ball, Lin Yu walked inside. Everyone knew that he was going to play like he did in the second quarter again.
In the low post, as soon as Lin Yu was in position, the ball was passed over.
Iguodala withstood Lin Yu from behind, and Matt Barnes came over again, another pincer attack, this time a pincer attack from a low position.
If the ball is released, it is still difficult for Lin Yu to find a good opportunity.
Therefore, even if it was a double team attack, he still tried to end the attack.
Originally facing Iguodala with his back, Lin Yu turned around and began to face the basket.
Iguodala and Matt Barnes continued to guard Lin Yu's offensive line on the left and right.
Lin Yu clearly knows that the strong Iguodala is not easy to mess with, but on the other side, Matt Barnes is a soft persimmon that can be pinched.
He patted the basketball with his right hand and hit it directly to the right with his elbow, quickly creating a tiny space on Barnes' side.
Lin Yu quickly moved his steps, lowered his head and rushed to the basket, then jumped up, using all his strength, roaring and trying to dunk.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a huge force coming from behind, as if pulling his jersey, pulling him directly from the air.
boom!
The whole court was filled with exclamations, accompanied by the referee's whistle. This time it was not a dunk, but Matt Barnes pulling Lin Yu out of the air with one hand.
"He is committing a crime!"
Between the exclamations and the noisy noise in the arena, Doc Rivers's voice was clearly audible: "At least it's a second-level flagrant foul!"
Lin Yu lay on the floor, dazed for a while.
This is the first time he has suffered a criminal of this level, emmm...another achievement has been unlocked.
Then, a pair of thick black hands appeared in front of Lin Yu. He subconsciously stretched out his own hands and stood up with these black hands.
It was Iverson who pulled him up.
As for Matt Barnes, who committed evil deeds, he was just wandering around like an innocent man, chewing gum, avoiding Lin Yu's eyes.
The referee quickly gave an opinion on how to handle the ball. It was not a second-level flagrant foul, but a first-level flagrant foul with a slightly lighter penalty.
In the NBA, first-level flagrant fouls and second-level flagrant fouls are both free throws. The difference is that players who commit second-level flagrant fouls will be directly ejected from the game, while players who commit first-level flagrant fouls can remain on the court.
Rivers was naturally dissatisfied. He stood on the sidelines waving his hands and constantly expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty.
Lin Yu had already stood on the free throw line and began to execute two free throws.
He was quite satisfied with the referee's decision. By keeping Matt Barnes on the court, he had the opportunity to teach this guy who was a little ignorant of the world.
Two free throws were made, the point difference was restored to 9 points, and the Celtics still had the ball.
Lin Yu ran and took the basketball from LaFrentz.
Then, he stopped the ball at the top of the arc and motioned for everyone to pull away.
Tony Allen and Wally Szczerbiak both retreated to the sidelines on both sides, LaFrentz and Perkins also shrank to the bottom corner, directly clearing a large space in the middle.
Lin Yu slapped the basketball and quickly stepped to the right, and Iguodala's center of gravity was suddenly thrown away.
Then, he quickly called the ball back, a somewhat lame crossover, but it was still successful. He successfully shook Iguodala away and passed by Iguodala at lightning speed.
If there is no cover or assist defense, he will directly face an empty basket.
As Lin Yu wished, Matt Barnes, unwilling to be left alone, stepped in and stood directly in front of Lin Yu.
However, Lin Yu took a step forward and charged toward the basket crazily. Barnes also kept retreating. He was planning to commit another crime again.
Although Cheeks had already warned him, he just wanted to let Lin Yu, who was completely amazing in this game, know that the competition on the basketball court is not just about skills, but also more things.
boom!
After a huge explosion, Matt Barnes raised his arms to cover his face, looking up in confusion.
The camera moved up, and diagonally above Matt Barnes was Lin Yu. He hung on the basket, let out a passionate roar, and used all his strength to pull the basket hard, making another clang sound.
Loud noise.
"Unbelievable! Chinese Lin once again succeeded in attacking the frame. He was too violent in this game. He seemed to have completed the dunk on Matt Barnes!" Charles Barkley cheered loudly.
On the other side, Kenny Smith shook his head and shouted excitedly: "It's not a dunk. Matt Barnes dodged it at the critical moment, but for this ball, Lin Yu dunked directly on Matt."
-Barnes’ head, he successfully humiliated Matt Barnes and completed his revenge!”
On the sidelines of the court, the Celtics bench was boiling. After landing, Lin Yu accepted the cheers and celebrations of his teammates, but he glared at Matt Barnes who was staying under the basket with a vicious look.
It has to be said that a few years later, the green-headed Matt Barnes was also a pitiful person, but pitiful people must be hateful.
Lin Yu would not take back his anger. On the contrary, he completely released his anger.
After dunking, he scored consecutively, quickly sealing the victory for the Celtics.
