Chapter 235 Surpassing Jordan, just tonight! (Fifth watch is over!)
In the American West Arena, Lin Yi defeated the "Small Overlord" Stoudemire in a jump ball, and the Knicks got the chance to open the first attack. With Dodge Norris dribbling through the half court, Lin Yi also mentioned a high position to catch the ball.
Gentry is indeed not as good as D'Antoni. In Lin Yi's view, if Gentry is brave enough, Stoudemire should let Stoudemire lead the four. Channing Frye does have a good ability to open three-pointers, but Frye's defense is a problem.
Lin Yi didn't even bother to play the pick-and-roll, so he passed it directly to David Lee who slipped out. David Lee scored with a small left-handed throw, and Lin Yi successfully got an assist +1!
Gentry realized that he had miscalculated. He never thought that Lin Yi, who only wanted to get a triple-double, would give up his plan to be the Knicks' main attacking point in the opening game.
The Knicks switched to using David Lee as the main offense at the beginning of the game, and Lin Yi as the passer. David Lee, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time this year, made Channing Frye's mentality unbalanced.
Regardless of Frye's height and wingspan, David Lee has a lot of experience in beating him. After all, David Lee is a man who has fought Lin Yi for [-] rounds.
So after playing only 4 minutes in the first quarter, Gentry replaced Frye and changed it to a big team with four small teams.
Lin Yi was a little annoyed. He knew that David Lee should not have played so hard. Now Gentry would reduce Frye's playing time and lose an important source of assists. Lin Yi expressed regret for this.
……
The offense of the Suns is mainly initiated by Nash. I have nothing to say about my vision. Under his organization, the offense of the Suns is very smooth. After the serious injury, Stoudemire's mid-range shooting accuracy is quite good. The pick-and-roll between him and Nash is the signature of Phoenix.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks trailed 27-29 in the away game. Lin Yi scored 4 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds in the first quarter. The triple-double progressed very smoothly.
On TNT TV, Kenny Smith said nothing to bet with Barkley this time, especially after the first quarter, Kenny Smith also believed that unless Lin Yi was injured in the second quarter, he would definitely break Michael Jordan's record of seven consecutive triple-doubles.
In the second quarter of the game, Lin Yi continued to attack the Suns with a substitute lineup. This kind of running and bombing team met a running and bombing team.
The inaccuracy of his teammates slowed down the progress of Lin Yi's triple-double. During the intermission, Danny Green looked at Lin Yi with apologetic expression. Lin Yi's pass to him was absolutely open. Unfortunately, "Green's Fairy Tale" has not yet begun, and Danny Green has already developed a tendency towards Zhang Tielin in the future.
Lin Yi touched Danny Green's head. He knew that Danny Green's three-pointers were not so accurate in this period, but he couldn't help it. This is the Knicks. The team's positioning for you is like this.
"Don't take it to heart, work harder in Xia Tian, otherwise how can I win the assist king?" Lin Yi said to Danny Green jokingly.
Danny Green felt warm in his heart. He swore that he must work hard to stay in the Knicks, because the Knicks made him feel the warmth of home. You must know that in Cleveland, he usually dare not even speak.
After the halftime break, in the third quarter, D'Antoni let David Lee rest first, and asked Lin Yiyi to lead the four juniors to play.
The Suns can see that the Knicks don't care about winning or losing tonight, they only care about whether Lin Yi can break Michael Jordan's record.
The Suns were also unwilling to be the background board, so they adopted a man-to-man defensive tactic, resolutely not supplementing the defense or double-teaming Lin Yi.
Unfortunately, the Suns didn't expect the Knicks to be so determined to help Lin Yi. In the third quarter, as long as Lin Yi passed the ball, the Knicks would just throw it, regardless of whether there was anyone in front of him.
Fans in Phoenix expressed their dissatisfaction with boos. Lin Yi knew that Westbrook would also receive such boos in the future. In many cases, when the "Turtle" had enough rebounds and points, you had to chew on the cakes Westbrook fed no matter how dry it was.
But the Knicks players also have an advantage, that is, what the coach says is what they say. Since D'Antoni has let them throw it, why don't they dare to throw it?
No matter how hard it is, there is a time to enter, isn't it?
So at the end of the third quarter, although the Knicks had fallen behind 78 to 94, Lin Yi was only 2 assists away from breaking Michael Jordan's record.
Kenny Smith questioned this, but Barkley quickly refuted him: "That's a triple-double, Kenny!"
Indeed, surpassing Michael Jordan is a great achievement. Even if Lin Yi's eighth time came out, you can't fault him for his first seven triple-doubles!
……
In the fourth quarter, Lin Yi had to refresh his playing time again today, and he didn't rest for a minute today.
As if in response to Phoenix's booing, Lin Yi scored 11 points in the fourth quarter to stop the Suns.
At this time, the fans in Phoenix didn't dare to boo. The West is in a big fight. The Suns can't afford to lose a game now. The strength of the East is clear, and the Knicks don't care about winning or losing a game.
The fans of the Suns felt that Lin Yi's triple-double is also very good, at least the Suns can win the game steadily!
But as if he was irritated by the fans, Lin Yi scored 5 points in a row after the timeout, leading the Knicks to a 16-0 climax to tie the Suns.
At this time, the coach of the Suns, Gentry, panicked. He suddenly felt that since the Knicks were not allowed to play other players tonight, should they double-team Lin Yi?
Most importantly, if the Suns don't help defend Lin Yi, they won't be able to defend against the Knicks' inside-out tactics!
Stoudemire has never been known for being good at defense, especially after being injured, Stoudemire will stay strong in many defenses.
So Gentry soon found himself duped.
How could Lin Yi be angered by the Suns? He felt that there was still more time in the fourth quarter. If he didn't get a triple-double tonight, he wouldn't apply for a one-minute rest.
Lin Yi didn't expect that he felt pretty good tonight, and he scored two layups against Stoudemire.
As a result, when Lin Yi fired, the Suns' own position was in chaos.
Gentry is just not decisive enough, and he will also have this problem when he brings the Pelicans in the future.
In the future, when the Pelicans and the Warriors had a dialogue in the playoffs for the first time, Gentry has been stuck in the decision of whether to double-team or not to double-team Curry. As a result, the primary school student not only scored, but also assisted a lot...
With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter, as Belinelli received a pass from Lin Yi and made a 3-pointer, while the Knicks led the Suns for the first time tonight, Lin Yi also achieved eight consecutive triple-doubles!
"Let us congratulate Lin! He surpassed Michael Jordan!" Barkley said excitedly!
