Chapter 238 Being Single Makes You Stronger! (Third update!)
Lin Yi and Okur jumped the ball in the middle circle. In the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Okur still had heart and Lin Yi jumped the ball. In this rematch, Okur was obviously much smarter. He pretended to jump and then retreated directly.
After the jump ball, Lin Yi asked for the ball to organize the offense. You may not believe it, but the Knicks arranged for their point guard to jump the ball, but this point guard is different, emmmmm, he is 221 cm!
"D'Antoni is really bold. In this game, he arranged for Lin Yilai to play the core guard. But in the past, D'Antoni would do this when he was in the second team. Today, he did it as soon as he came up." CCTV, Yu Jiaxie said.
"I don't think it's a problem to play like this. You see, Lin Yi's dribbling skills are not as good as some defenders." Zhang Reasonable said.
On the court, the Jazz didn't dare to let Delong defend Lin Yi. De Xiaopang's strength is fine, but with his height, can he jump up and hit Lin Yi's knee?
Opposing Lin Yi is Boozer.
Facing Boozer's defense, Lin Yi dribbled the ball unhurriedly at a high position. He observed carefully. An old-school coach like Sloan really paid great attention to the team's defense. The Jazz didn't show any flaws, so Lin Yi raised his right hand and called for a pick-and-roll.
Knicks starting center Milicic brought Okur out from inside. Okur looked reluctant. When the Rockets played against the Jazz, Okur and Boozer kept attacking Yao Ming through pick-and-rolls. Now another Eastern big man used their best pick-and-roll tactics to torture them.
Milicic's basic skills are very solid, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is good. Boozer knew that Okur could not keep up with Lin Yi, so he wanted to squeeze past him. Unexpectedly, Boozer's squeeze really pushed Milicic away!
Boozer finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he squeezed in front of Lin Yi, Lin Yi quietly used a ground pass to create an open opportunity for Mi Li.
Milicic dismantled after blocking, and of course Boozer could squeeze through!
From Milicic's high jumper, along with the sound of scoring a goal, Lin Yi's assist +1!
After scoring, Milicic and Lin Yi high-fived. As this season got better and better, Milicic also kept reflecting on himself. You must know that this handsome guy could shoot three-pointers and dribble when he first entered the league. However, he was abruptly crippled by Larry Brown and became a "farmer".
Many people think that Larry Brown has cultivated a lot of stars, but they don’t know that Larry Brown has crippled more stars. If Iverson hadn’t believed that Larry Brown’s attack to the basket is the right evil, relying on the answer to fly gracefully with one hand, wouldn’t the open three-pointer be easy to come by?
"Answer" also has a lot of high-post jump shots in his career. Iverson can't practice a stable three-pointer Lin Yi is unbelievable. If "Answer" can play more scientifically, his true shooting percentage can be improved a lot.
Now Milicic has figured it out. During normal training, he desperately wants to get back to his past self.
Lin Yi doesn't know if Mi Li will become a boxer and a farmer, but at least Milicic is having a good time in the Knicks this season.
In the Jazz's offense, De Xiaopang saw that it was really Lin Yi who was guarding him, so he almost couldn't hold back and rushed directly, but Xiaopang still played a pick-and-roll with Boozer honestly according to the tactics.
The Knicks switched defenses directly from the outside. The Jazz's three-point shooting ability is average. The old coaches in the NBA don't like three-pointers. You must know that the reason for the Jazz's three-point shooting ability is not because they have no shooters, but because Sloan stipulates that they are not allowed to take shots unless they are absolutely open.
The Jazz's lineup has a lot of high-quality pitchers such as CJ Myers, Kyle Korver, and Wesley Matthews.
The lineup of this Jazz team is luxurious. At its peak, Deron was ranked among the top five at the point guard position. The inside combination of Boozer and Okur is also a leader in the West. There are a bunch of shooters on the outside. The sixth man also has Millsap, plus an AK47.
On the field, the Knicks' lineup shrunk to a very small size. Deron saw that he could no longer dribble forward, so he jumped up and made a mid-range shot. In Lin Yi's eyes, this kind of high mid-range shot is not as good as a three-pointer.
Bang!
Deron hit the iron in the mid-range shot, the Jazz didn't keep anyone to grab the offensive rebound, Milicic and David Lee didn't grab it either, they waited for Lin Yi to come back to pick it up.
On the Jazz's bench, Sloan's eyes widened. Isn't this stat too high?
Lin Yi didn't care about this, and after picking up the rebound, he passed the midfield in a few strides. The Knicks switched offense, and Lin Yi directly threw the ball to Gallinari.
Although he had the experience in the first round and knew the style and characteristics of the Knicks, Sloan couldn't help but frowned.
These old coaches in the NBA are extremely superstitious about the previous set, but with the development of modern basketball, their set is indeed outdated.
Gallinari hit a three-pointer!
Lin Yi's assist +1!
Excited, Gallinari said to Lin Yi when he retreated: "Lin, it turns out that being single can really make a person stronger!"
Lin Yi's face turned dark immediately, but he still looked at Gallinari with a smile on his face, and even touched Gallinari's head, go bald, you can become stronger if you are bald.
"Hey, don't tell me, it's really interesting for Lin Yi to play a core guard." Zhang Lili said.
"Lin Yi is tall and has good vision. Many people think that if Lin Yi is alone, he can compete for the scoring champion." Yu Jia is also very excited. You must know that if Lin Yi can complete a triple-double in this game, he will tie Chamberlain!
The Jazz finally succeeded in the second attack. Kirilenko was absent, and Matthews started on the top. The ball Matthews slipped to the basket through a reverse run.
As the game progressed, Sloan on the sidelines couldn't understand why the Knicks achieved such an excellent record this season, because in Sloan's view, the Knicks always made some very low-level defensive mistakes.
But why didn't the Knicks coaching staff even remind the players on the court?
Sloan was puzzled.
In the Knicks' third attack in the opening game, this time they switched to Lin Yi and David Lee for the pick-and-roll.
Lin Yi's assist +1!
Looking at the rising assist data, Lin Yi feels that he is stable tonight. D'Antoni is indeed a master of guard training. The tactics he designed for Lin Yi look simple, but they are very practical.
Lin Yi's fourth assist came soon. Okur wanted to beat Milicic on the inside, but Okur was not much tougher than Milicic. Okur turned around and hooked confidently, but was slapped away by Milicic.
Go Peat Basketball Dreams!
In Lin Yi's memory, when Milicic was playing with the Timberwolves, Milicic had many blocked shots with 5+ performances. Okur underestimated the enemy this time.
After Lin Yi grabbed the second penalty, he threw it forward. Even Belinelli, who was not fast, ran a fast break. In order to stabilize, Belinelli chose a layup and successfully added an assist to Lin Yi.
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Sloan hurriedly requested a timeout, explained to the Jazz players, and reminded them to increase their defensive strength.
The players of the Jazz felt that their brains were a little painful. They defended very seriously, but Lin Yi was always able to create opportunities for teammates to make mistakes.
Sloan obviously fell into the same vicious circle as Gentry, wanting too much to prevent Lin Yi from getting a triple-double, but in the end, his own defensive rhythm was chaotic because of too much emphasis.
Moreover, Kirilenko's absence caused the Jazz to lose the best option to defend Lin Yi.
Boozer is fierce, but he is not a top defensive player. Lin Yi does not compete with him in strength, but in height, technique, and speed. Boozer also has a headache defending.
At the end of the first quarter, Lin Yi grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the ball to Milicic. Milicic grabbed the frame with both hands and dunked!
Seriously!Lin Yi felt that the "farmer" also hid a cruel heart, but why was Milicic so soft in people's eyes?
It seems that white people who play in the NBA are soft, and only black people can be hard...
After the first quarter, Lin Yi scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
The assists progressed well. During the intermission, Lin Yi replenished his energy. In the second quarter, he needs to score properly, otherwise the Jazz will start to relax their defense against him.
The "Lin Mi" in front of the TV were extremely excited!
Looking at it like this, Lin Yi is sure to set a record tonight!
But people didn't expect that an accident happened just after the second quarter started!
