Lin Yu hit a three-pointer in the opening game. He suddenly discovered that after Pierce returned, the defensive pressure on him suddenly became less.
James went to guard Pierce, and he faced Alexander Pavlovich, a Serbian who relied on shooting to make a living in the league. Most of the time, this guy's defense was quite eye-catching, and he couldn't even perform basic man-to-man defense.
can not do well.
In 2006, the concept of 3D players had not yet been fully proposed. Many teams did not pay enough attention to outside defenders. The team management was still stuck in the era of the four major centers. Every year in the draft, their first choice was inside players.
.
The management that is more advanced in thinking can at most think that the team needs some three-point shooters.
Therefore, in the NBA at this time, in every strong matchup, superstars will form a rivalry.
Later, each team was equipped with a top 3D player, and superstars also began to seek mismatched confrontations. The content of the game suddenly changed. In terms of data, it seemed to become more exciting, but those who had actually watched the game
We all know that the competition is not confrontational enough.
The convenience provided by the characteristics of the times fell on Lin Yu.
After Lin Yu hit a three-pointer in the first offensive round, Lin Yu continued to withstand James' impact in the next defensive round.
But for this ball, James used all his strength, broke through directly from the right, knocked out a path, and succeeded in the throw from the basket.
Lin Yu shook his head. He had only defended for two rounds, but he already felt the pain in his chest ribs.
No wonder future American basketball teams are crazy about hoarding forwards. A forward with average physical fitness can only support James for one or two quarters at most. The best way is to hoard multiple strikers and take turns to play.
Wheel battle.
Lin Yu could still push for the time being. Not only could he push, but when he returned to the offensive end, he suddenly became energetic again, running back and forth without the ball.
Pavlovich followed him closely. Pierce received the ball in the middle, but did not pass the ball. He turned around and shot a jumper after a high post, but missed.
Perkins grabbed the offensive rebound and tipped the ball in but still missed.
In the second rebound battle, James, who had already rushed to the basket, grabbed the rebound.
In the frontcourt offense, Lin Yu still failed to prevent James from scoring, but he could feel that James was playing very hard.
The breakthrough from the right was limited, and James had to use his full strength on every ball.
This is James in his third season of his career. If it were James who gained weight after a few seasons, his physical fitness might not be enough.
The Celtics never flanked each other and let Lin Yu defend alone. At most, when James broke through deep inside, Perkins was asked to help defend.
James was no longer able to play the breakthrough ball that he was best at.
Therefore, it seems that James is playing smoothly and scoring consecutively. In fact, even James himself is very clear that the hidden dangers of this game have been laid...
In the Celtics' attack, Pierce forced a single and failed to score again.
The Cavaliers' defense was all concentrated in the middle, and Rivers' reminder sounded from the sidelines: "Pass the ball, we need more passes!"
This was to remind Pierce not to play too many singles and to pass the ball. Pierce responded with an OK gesture and he heard it.
The Cavaliers' offense and continuous turnovers from the outside prevented the role players from finding opportunities, and the basketball finally returned to James' hands.
James could only continue to play singles, relying on his strength advantage to continue to break through Lin Yu's defense and successfully score two points.
After missing a shot in the opening game, James scored 6 points in a row, while the Celtics only relied on Lin Yu's three-pointer to score 3 points. The score was 6:3, with the Cavaliers leading by 3 points.
"LBJ is in a hot state. Obviously, China Lin's defense against him is not successful. Doc Rivers needs to make adjustments. Otherwise, a hot-touch LBJ will be completely unstoppable!"
Charles Barkley issued a warning, but Rivers sat back after reminding Pierce to pass the ball, seemingly not paying attention to James' consecutive scoring.
Then came the Celtics' offensive round. Delonte West gave the ball to Pierce, who played in isolation, attracting the defense.
Lin Yu, who was on the baseline, bypassed the penalty area and rushed to the other bottom corner.
Pierce passed the ball to West.
Snow, who was defending West, returned to defense, but when Lin Yu was about to rush to the bottom corner, he turned around and seemed to be turning back.
Pavlovich was shaken by him and could only turn around to follow.
But the moment Lin Yu turned back, he suddenly turned back and headed towards the bottom corner again. With this run, he completely threw away Pavlovich.
Then, he received a pass from West. After Lin Crazy, West learned the lesson. He knew that the second leader of the current Celtics was Lin Yu, who was better than him in both offense and defense.
Lin Yu jumped up after receiving the ball, and with a bang, he accurately hit the three-pointer from the bottom corner!
"Beautiful, a z-shaped move, China Lin played a trick on Pavlovich, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, bang! Successfully hit!"
The North Shore Garden Arena cheered as Lin Yu's three-pointer helped the Celtics equalize the score.
The excited Lin Yu also raised his right hand high and raised two fingers. This was already his signature celebration gesture.
In the Celtics coaching bench off the court, player development coach Robert Lowell smiled: "I taught him the inverted z-shaped running position. Of course, Lin used it just right!"
Rivers smiled, patted Lowell on the shoulder and encouraged: "Well done, Robert, after this game, teach Lin some more fixed running routines without the ball."
From Lowell, Lin Yu learned some fixed routines for running without the ball. The inverted Z-shaped running is the most outstanding one among these routines. Others include L-shaped running and V-shaped running.
position, etc., the emphasis is on a surprise.
Use it suddenly and you will always get miraculous results.
Of course, for this fixed routine to be successful, it also requires some specific conditions, such as a wide space enough for Lin Yu to run.
Although Lin Yu's off-ball movement attributes are poor, relying on these fixed routines, he can always get several excellent opportunities in every game.
After hitting another three-pointer, Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown couldn't stand it anymore.
Although many people say that he is LeBron James's puppet, as a disciple of Popovich, and Popovich is a disciple of Larry Brown, also named Brown, Mike Brown is also a master who became famous for his defense.
coach.
He emphasizes defense very much, and Pavlovich's defense is a crime in his opinion.
After the ball, Mike Brown stood on the sidelines and shouted: "Alexander, keep an eye on the Chinese!"
Pavlovich nodded helplessly. Of course he also wanted to target Lin Yu, who had already run in front of James to defend, but Lin Yu always behaved very slippery and was not so easy to target.
In the Cavaliers' offense, James once again forced a single, achieving the achievement of scoring 8 consecutive points.
As for the Celtics' offense, Pavlovich gritted his teeth and followed Lin Yu to death, but Lin Yu used a reverse run and Perkins' screen to get rid of his defense again.
Then, Lin Yu caught the ball outside the three-point line, and Drew Gooden, who was on defense, rushed over.
Lin Yu, who already had some organizational attributes, made another pass and found LaFrenz who was open in the mid-range. LaFrenz hit the ball mid-range.
Lin Yu received an assist, and the scores of the two teams were tied again...
