Chapter 135 The long-lost stunt (group photo nostalgia)
"The Knicks actually called a timeout first," Kenny Smith said.
"It's normal. Lin's performance in this game is obviously limited. D'Antoni is not Phil Jackson. He can never call a timeout." Barkley complained.
On the court, the beautiful cheerleaders of the Lakers finished their performance, and the players of the two teams returned to the court.
"Zen Master" glanced at Lao De, he didn't think D'Antoni could find a way to break the Lakers' defense in such a short period of time.
Although the Lakers are more aggressive, once they defend seriously, they definitely have the top three defensive standards in the league.
Back from the timeout, the Knicks attacked, and at this moment people seemed to have suddenly discovered something extraordinary.
"Lin went to the low post?" Kenny Smith still remembers that the last time Lin Yi went to the low post was when they played against the Heat in the first game of the regular season.
But Artest is not Joel Anthony and Haslem, and the Lakers have Bynum and Gasol on the inside who can make up defense at any time. The Lakers' inside is not the Heat!
"We seem to have forgotten that Lin's position on the court is center forward." Barkley laughed.
Lin Yi asked for the ball from a low position on the field, and Artest resisted him. Artest did not choose to go forward this time, because Lin Yi was too tall, and the chances of being reversed before going around were too high. Artest's current jumping has declined seriously, but Artest's strength is good.
The Knicks slowed down their offensive rhythm, low-post tactics, the Knicks actually used low-post tactics?
The "Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari on the flank threw the ball to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi received the ball calmly. Although the "Zen Master" in front of the Lakers bench didn't know what the Knicks wanted to do, I have to say that Lin Yi's basic skills are really good.
In the VIP seats on the sidelines of the Staples Stadium, the "Actor" Jack Nicholson was drinking a drink and chatting happily with his female companion. At this moment, Nicholson was suddenly stunned, and the drink slowly slipped down the corner of his mouth. He didn't notice it...
On the court, facing Artest's defense, Lin Yi's body suddenly slanted, his right hand grabbed the ball with one hand, and while keeping his body away from Artest, he raised his right arm above his head, waved his palm, and sent it gently with his fingertips...
Swish-!
"Oh! My God!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a standard skyhook!" Barkley shook his head and said.
Skyhook!
Skyhook returns to Staples!
Almost all Lakers fans let out a groan!
Some older Lakers fans are very familiar with this action, because this is the housekeeping trick of the former Lakers legend and the NBA's all-time scoring leader - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!
How can it be?
Whether it is a fan or an expert, at this moment, I can't believe my eyes, because the main reason why some NBA tricks are lost is that they are difficult to practice. The sky hook is not a small short-range hook. This kind of long-distance hook, except Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who can practice so accurately!
This trick requires not only wingspan, but also a soft touch. For most inside players, since the skyhook is not as practical as a turnaround jumper, why bother to practice the skyhook?
But all of this is not a problem for Lin Yi. His body shape is already close to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, his touch is soft, and as an "all-professional player", this move has always been in his arsenal.
But generally speaking, Lin Yi rarely uses this trick.
How many of the insiders he faced before could be faster than him?Normally, he can play with flexible footwork, and has a more efficient way of scoring. Lin Yi has put this in his arsenal, and he will use it in normal training, but he has not used it in NBA games.
The last time Lin Yi used a skyhook was in his NCAA era. NBA teams don't specialize in researching a weapon that you haven't used for a long time.
And the reason why Lin Yi decided to use this trick tonight is also very simple. Artest's knee will be against his calf when he is headed up, which makes Lin Yi unable to use his strength easily.
In Lin Yi's memory, McGrady defended Nowitzki like this when the Rockets and the Mavericks were in a PK match.
Under the circumstance that the turning jump shot will be interfered, the most incomprehensible point of the skyhook is highlighted: 221 cm tall and Lin Yi's wingspan, this trick is similar to that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and it all depends on his own feel!
During the timeout just now, Lin Yi, who was blocked from the frontal attack, made a suggestion to D'Antoni, that is, in addition to grasping the transition attack, once he falls into position, he should play low-post tactics.
Artest's death-wrap doesn't work as well in the low post, where centers rule.
Lin Yi feels good tonight.
Wake up, I'm a big center forward!
In the next few rounds of fighting, people confirmed that Lin Yi's sky hook just now was by no means accidental.
Because he hit three with four hooks!
The Lakers changed their defensive strategy in a timely manner. Once Lin Yi went to the low post to ask for the ball, they decisively flanked him.
In the first quarter, before Lin Yi left the field to rest, Lin Yi also staged a performance that was enough to be selected for the top five balls: Lin Yi was holding the ball in the low post, and Gasol immediately defended him. At this time, Lin Yi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and threw the ball behind his head with both hands. In the three-second zone, "Pie Eater" David Lee appeared, catching the ball and making a layup!
"The Knicks' offense has been revitalized, and Lin's pass is really imaginative." Kenny Smith said.
"It seems that the Lakers have to think of a way. Lin's hand feeling is very good tonight. He opened our eyes again tonight. This sky hook reproduces Staples and the chic pass behind the head just now. It should become the most important news reported by the media after the game." Barkley said with emotion.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Lakers by one point 30 to 29.
Lin Yi scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, with amazing efficiency.
Lin Yi wouldn't use sky hooks all the time, this kind of character-fighting skills, if you fight hard, you will earn money. In the first quarter, Lin Yi left the game 4 minutes early to rest, in order to lead the second team.
Skyhook doesn't consume energy, and it's worth a gamble if it feels good. The Knicks need some luck to steal the victory from the City of Angels tonight.
Lin Yi has a good personality, and his celestial hook made the Staples Lakers fans' scalps tingle.
In the second quarter, Phil Jackson really made targeted arrangements. Gasol, Walton, Lamar Odom, Vujacic, and Farmar appeared together. Phil Jackson let Gasol rest 4 minutes early in the first quarter.
The Lakers want to ensure their own defensive rotation speed, obviously because they don't want Lin Yi to have fun.
Phil Jackson's lineup is commendable, but when people see the lineup of the New York Knicks in the second quarter, they still can't help but curse.
Milicic, Jeffries, Gallinari, Chandler, Lin Yi!
Three insiders?
What the hell!
Wait, who's going to play point guard?
Is it?
Lakers backup point guard Farmar looked at Lin Yi standing in front of him...
"what?"
Crazy!
Are the Knicks crazy?
Use Lin Yilai to play point guard?
And use him to mark Farmar?
Just when people were holding back their swear words, on the court, Farmer dribbled the ball and made a breakthrough, and Farmer was blocked - Lin Yi's chasing cap!
cut!
Lin Yi is a man who has singled out tens of thousands of rounds with Curry. Farmer's straight-forward breakthrough without even changing direction is not afraid of Lin Yi at all. Looking at Farmar slipping past him, Lin Yi is waiting for him to catch up with him the moment he lays up!
It was the Knicks' turn to attack. When they saw Lin Yi dribbling the ball across the halfcourt, the Lakers players were a little confused.
Because Lin Yi is indeed the "point guard!" of the Knicks in the second quarter!
How can this be prevented?
"This..." Kenny Smith felt that he had a lot to say, but he was at a loss for words.
"The Knicks really prepared a big move!" A 221 cm point guard?How did Buckley feel like he was reading a novel?
Pooh!If anyone dares to write such a novel, Barkley will definitely be the leader!
At least five monthly tickets plus full booking!
