NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 227 shows new offensive skills, Lin Chuan: Please target me!

Lin Chuan glanced towards the sidelines.

At this time, there were still six minutes left until the end of the first quarter.

The score at this time was 12:14.

The Knicks are currently leading by two points.

Ibaka was about to serve the ball, and Lin Chuan reached out to him.

"So early in the morning?"

Ibaka said this jokingly, and then threw the ball to the latter.

Oh? Are you planning to attack directly with the ball before you even cross half court? !

Anthony's eyelids twitched.

He had seen Lin Chuan in this state before.

This is a more exaggerated form than Lin Chuan's when the fight reached a stalemate.

The former usually occurs in the second half of the game.

When the Thunder are unable to open up the situation, Lin Chuan will take over the responsibility of offense.

Start to increase the proportion of offense.

His strong offensive control allows him to easily put the basketball into the basket when facing all the inside players in the league.

This season, he has used this method to widen the gap and defeat his opponents countless times.

The situation where they started to attack by asking for the ball before crossing the half court was even worse than before.

It usually appears when the Thunder is in desperate situation.

In this situation, even Durant is usually unable to break the deadlock.

By then, Lin Chuan will completely unleash his offensive power.

In addition to being a defender and organizer, take on the responsibility of actively launching offense.

One man began to instigate an attack.

His out-of-shape handles also allow him to dribble across the court like a point guard while being a center.

Seeing Lin Chuan getting serious, Anthony also smiled.

In that case, let’s see who is the unrestricted character!

Who can win this game!
Lin Chuan glanced at Anthony and saw that his expression became more focused, but he just glanced at him quickly.

His opponent is not himself.

But it was the MVP of that season, Kevin Durant, who was hit twice but still holding back his energy and wanted to regain his face.

Lin Chuan dribbled the ball across half court, and at this moment, the most nervous person was not anyone else.

It was the bearded burly man standing in the inside, Tyson Chandler.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

A line of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing Lin Chuan dribbling the ball slowly and getting closer to the three-point line, Chandler couldn't help but feel nervous.

Every time he did this, his defensive system would be completely destroyed.

Lin Chuan's three-pointer threat is too great.

If I just stand near the penalty area and guard the inside without putting defensive pressure on Lin Chuan.

There is a high possibility that he could just raise his hand and shoot, ruthlessly overtaking the score.

But if they pull out to defend, the inside becomes completely empty.

Even the small point guard of the Thunder can easily break into the penalty area and make a layup.

damn it!
Seeing that Lin Chuan was already close to the three-point line, there was no time for him to think any more.

At this moment, he finally made a decision.

"Fuck! Chandler, go up and put pressure on him, don't let him take a three-point shot easily!"

On the sidelines, New York head coach Mike Woodson saw Chandler's feet nailed to the ground, his eyes bulging out.

He stood up suddenly, and cursed the former best defensive player in shock and anger.

Chandler gritted his teeth, he didn't want to leave the inside empty.

Outside, at least others can make up for it.

Carmelo Anthony!

Under the blue headband, Anthony's eyes were already locked on Lin Chuan.

Just when he didn't see the figure rushing out from the inside out of the corner of his eye, he quickly understood the thoughts of this teammate who had been on the same court for a long time.

The whole person rushed over to defend Chandler in an instant.

Lin Chuan was just about to make a three-point shot when he saw a dark shadow rushing out from the front and blocking his way.

Oh?
Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and sighed,
"I didn't expect you guys to have learned your lesson. At least you know that I'm a threat outside the three-point line."

While speaking, Lin Chuan did not rush to close the ball, but observed it with his peripheral vision, while speaking,

"But if you choose to defend me, and that guy hides in the paint and doesn't dare to come out, then someone will be left open, right?"

Hearing this, Anthony's pupils shrank.

Yes, he rushed up to defend, but this seemingly appropriate move caused one of the five opponents to be left open!

And that person is Kevin Durant!
Damn!

Lin Chuan in front of him had grasped the basketball tightly in his hands at some point and was about to take it out from his waist.

It was exactly the posture of preparing to pass the ball to Durant.

Without saying a word, Stadler turned around and started to chase back.

You know, Durant is the MVP of this season!

From the second year he entered the ranks of the league's top scorers!

It is because of this guy that Anthony himself is also one of the top scorers in the league and one of the few offensive kaleidoscopes.

But as of today, after playing for ten seasons, he still hasn't even won a scoring title.

Repeatedly pushed to second place by the opponent!
At this time, Durant was standing on the right side of the free throw line, making a catching motion with both hands, waiting for the basketball to be in his hands, and then he could shoot it into the net.

We must not let them score so easily!

Anthony immediately let go of Lin Chuan in front of him, pushed hard to Durant's side, and stretched out one hand to block the shot.

But suddenly I found that there was nothing in the other person's raised hand.

Could it be that? !

Anthony was shocked and turned back suddenly, but he only saw the hand shape that Lin Chuan maintained after shooting.

Behind him came the crisp sound of the net being swiped.

Anthony looked again, only to see a mocking look on Lin Chuan's face.

Fuck, what's going on...

Anthony's mind couldn't help but feel confused.

Wasn't it clearly transmitted?
Why is the ball still in his hand?

Anthony was in the middle of the game and couldn't see the situation clearly.

But another person standing nearby saw it clearly.

That is the power forward of the Knicks.

Amar'e Stoudemire!

Because he is a power forward.

Just now, he was standing on the other side of the free throw line and was quantum entangled with Ibaka.

He was in the best viewing position in the game, even better than the spectators on the sidelines.

So he saw the previous round clearly.

As a member of the former run-and-gun team Suns.

He is more familiar with this move than anyone else.

That's clearly a fake report.

Although this fake pass is not very clever, many players can react quickly and continue defending.

But in the hands of an expert, it can still exert great power.

Because during his time with the Suns, their team's soul player, starting point guard, and two-time MVP Steve Nash often used this trick in games.

It even happened that he had already swam into the inside.

But he used a few fake passes to divert all the defenders away, and he was left unattended under the basket.

So much so that he could easily score a layup.

It makes the opposing players look stupid.

But the premise of all this is based on his superb passing ability and the shooting accuracy of others.

I didn't expect that Lin Chuan, a center, could also master this trick to perfection.

He realized just now that the feeling of the basketball sliding past him was too real, and Anthony actually believed it, and was easily swayed away.

But in fact, the main reason is that Lin Chuan passed the ball with one hand.

This is more than just what Nash can do.

When Stoudemire looks back on the past and sees someone who can pass the ball with one hand and still keep the ball firmly in his hand, appearing to be at ease, he can only think of that truly great guy.

Michael Jordan.

Only he can perform the one-handed fake pass to perfection.

No one else can!

All this is thanks to his extraordinarily large hands.

That's why it's so hard for Kobe Bryant to do this even though he plays almost the same way.

Thinking of this, Stadler couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He didn't expect Lin Chuan to be able to do this.

Originally, his offensive methods were so rich.

Even in terms of passing, he is not inferior to Chris Paul, the best point guard in the league.

Now he has shown his abilities that have never been shown to the world in the finals.

No less than Jordan's one-handed fake pass!

This guy is so terrifying!
Stoudemire wasn't the only one surprised.

Brooks on the sidelines was also surprised.

He also had never seen Lin Chuan use this move.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile, shook his head and sat down.

Lin Chuan, you always bring surprises to people.

Brooks thought so in his heart.

On the court, after Lin Chuan scored a goal, he was about to return to defense when he saw the Knicks called a timeout.

The person who called the timeout was none other than Stoudemire, who was standing aside and watching the entire process.

The speed of the call also made Lin Chuan stunned.

Not really. It was just a three-pointer, but that's why you reacted so strongly.

I don't know, I thought it was some PTSD that was triggered.

The timeout is over and it's time to play again.

After defending against Stoudemire's breakthrough, Lin Chuan clearly felt that the opponent paid more attention to him.

Even players in other positions will pay more or less attention to his position.

He looks like he's ready to assist in double-teaming at any time.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan just found it ridiculous.

He shook his head and asked for basketball again.

He carried the ball to the front court, turned around and started to arch it.

This time, Chandler wanted to exert force in the high position, but Lin Chuan went around him, and then he scored again with a pull-up shot against the assisting defense of Stoudemire.

The first half turned into a massacre for Lin Chuan.

Until halftime.

Lin Chuan has scored 27 points.

Close to his last score.

The team's total score was only 57 points.

Lin Chuan's scoring accounted for almost half of the team's total.

The Knicks only scored 48 points.

Trailing the Thunder by nine points.

It seemed that the gap was about to widen again.

With the cheerleading team's performance, the game officially entered the break time.

"Fuck! How am I supposed to play this offense and defense?"

Xiao Si cursed angrily and punched the wall.

The dull sound also made Woodson a little worried that he might be hurt by the punch.

But in response to his complaints, no one could give him any suitable advice.

There is no suitable way to limit such a top offensive player with a passing skill comparable to the best point guard in the league.

Double-teaming will only give his teammates open opportunities to shoot.

"We can only rely on Chandler. After all, he is the only one on our team who can match Lin Chuan."

Woodson touched his bald head and finally managed to utter these words.

Hearing this, Chandler could only smile bitterly and nodded.

Although I will be reduced to a background board, there seems to be no other way at the moment.

Woodson patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be too stressed, Tyson. Although we know you are the former best defensive player, it is still too difficult for you to defend Lin Chuan. But my requirements are not high. As long as you fight him frequently and consume his physical strength, make him tired enough to make him unable to shoot, we still have a chance. Come on!"

Woodson's words seemed to be a reassurance to Chandler, but they only made him more depressed.

That was so harsh to the former Defensive Player of the Year.

Despite having such an honor, he was unable to limit the opponent's center at all.

The more I hear this title, the more it doesn't deserve its name!
Looking at Woodson, who was extremely concealing his expression but still showed a hint of expectation.

Chandler still agreed seriously.
"Of course, I will not let you down, coach, nor will I let my teammates down. I will do my job well and help the team limit Lin Chuan and win the game!"

Woodson was also deeply relieved to hear Chandler's words.

In fact, he didn't expect to win the game.

But seeing the players showing such fighting spirit, he also had a thought that he could win the game away from home.

Maybe we can actually do it?!
After all, even the Heat team came over!
What's wrong with winning a game against the Thunder team who lost their star guard?

I saw my teammates and coaches were eager to win the game.

Anthony on the side was just adjusting his state silently.

He adjusted his hairband, picked up the banana beside him and ate it silently, recovering his consumed energy.

No matter what, the most important thing to win the game is that he, as the team's leader, must not fall behind and must carry the team's banner.

If he, the boss, fails, then it would be too slim to pin his hopes on his teammates and expect them to fight against the Thunder team, which is at its peak, for a glimmer of hope.

With such a huge pressure on his shoulders, even he, with a big heart, felt a little breathless.

The teaching assistant next to him even bent down to ask about his situation.

Anthony just put on a smile and waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.

But Chandler could understand how much pressure he was under right now.

That is the pressure on the whole team to win.

He also experienced this kind of pressure in the 2011 Mavericks.

The pressure of the entire team was placed on the team leader Nowitzki.

But he carried it through.

And won the game.

He also personally shattered their championship dream in the Eastern Conference Finals when the Heat, the Big Three team, was at their most arrogant.

Trailing by 9 points at halftime, we had a chance to win.

I hope Anthony can withstand this pressure and bounce back.
