Center first

Chapter 257
The Miami Heat met the Boston Celtics, and many people saw this game as a challenge, a guy who was ready to fight the throne against the old king.

Some people also say that this is a contest between the top scorers of the two teams. Everyone is waiting to see how Wade, who has averaged more than 35 points per game in recent games, will deal with Ray Allen and Pierce.

However, more people put the focus of this game on Garnett and Lin Yi, because the two guys are so similar in size to passion and explosiveness when they play. He and Lin Yi's roar are the most iconic signature moves in this league now.

Both are more than [-] meters tall, and their jumping ability is equally astonishing. Someone once said that he saw Garnett put a coin on the backboard with his own eyes. No one can confirm this. , but Wolf King's jumping skills have always been awe-inspiring.

As for Lin Yi, the little guy who won the championship in the NBA slam dunk contest, needless to say, his jumping ability can be said to have not found a few players who can match him, maybe only the one from Orlando Warcraft can compete with him.

Moreover, Lin Yi and Garnett, apart from their jumping ability, also have their own way of defense. The wolf king's quick blocking of shots at the basket and Lin Yi's big hands that bring countless nightmares , both have a huge air deterrent.

Lin Yi and Garnett are equally powerful in controlling the rebounds in the interior. Needless to say, Garnett's rebounding skills, no one dares to say that he is sure that he can take off the rebound in front of the Wolf King. Now Also, few centers dared to say that they could grab a rebound from Lin Yi's hands.

A guy who plays the power forward position can reach double-digit rebounds for 9 consecutive seasons, such a terrifying control is not something ordinary people can have, and Lin Yi is now ranked fourth in the NBA rebounding rankings. It is not obtained by swiping data.

In addition to being the inside rebounding machine in their respective teams, the two of them are more often the absolute core of the team's defense. The team's defensive system is built around them.

Just look at the Celtics team without Wolf King Garnett. Without Garnett on the inside, the Celtics' inside line is almost equivalent to missing a barrier. The decline in performance was more due to Garnett's absence from many games.

Neither big baby Davis nor Brian Scalabrine can fill the defensive hole left by Garnett's absence at power forward, a point the Celtics are most proud of now It has become their fatal flaw, which may be the greatest affirmation of Garnett's defensive role.

Even if the Celtics without Garnett can win the game, it will look like something is missing. The deadly figure of the wolf king inside will always be the opponent's nightmare.

And Lin Yi is now the top priority in the Heat's tactical system. In addition to being responsible for serving as a bridge on offense, he is also a moving wall across the Heat's penalty area when defending. Those big hands are simply The Terminator in the movie, he used it time and time again to blow away the opponent's hope of winning.

Anyone who wants to attack the Heat's basket has to climb over Lin Yi's barrier at the first time. Unfortunately, this is not the first person who has tried it. Few people can take advantage of Lin Yi. , They can only watch the basketball fly away from their eyes with desperate eyes more often.

In terms of offensive methods, the two also have the same powerful weapons. Lin Yi's mid-range shooting and Garnett's baseline shot are also attacking the opponent's inside defender with a super high shooting rate.

Lin Yi's shooting percentage has been hovering around 55%, and Garnett's career shooting percentage has never been lower than 50%. The attack range of these two people can also be extended to any corner of the three-point line. .

And Lin can use his nimble footwork to eat opponents alone when he is playing against other inside players, but if he plays against Garnett in this game, it may not be so effective. Don't forget that the Wolf King is attacking in the low post Garnett's footsteps are as gorgeous, and on defense, Garnett has never been afraid of opponents with nimble feet.

Also, don't forget that Garnett also has a strong foundation in high positions. Many people who tried to block him from the front were stunned by the wolf king's ghostly footsteps. Lin Yi had to face The defensive pressure is equally great, even far exceeding Garnett.

The Celtics' defensive system is no longer built in a day and a half. Compared with Lin Yi, the task will be heavier. You must know that the Heat now rely more on his personal ability to solve problems.

Some people have said that Lin Yi and Garnett are opponents arranged by God. Some people even suspect that Lin Yi is not a clone of Garnett. Maybe these two similar guys will be in the American Airlines Arena the day after tomorrow. Do a face-to-face collision.

The previous few times when the two teams faced each other head-on, either Lin Yi and Wade were absent due to injuries, or Paul Pierce and Garnett were not recovered from their injuries. Maybe these two teams will form the strongest lineup tomorrow to support the team. Let's make the final sprint for the playoffs.

Lin Yi has already defeated the stone man Duncan and the crazy cowboy Dirk Nowitzki one-on-one on the court, and now another atypical power forward Garnett appears in front of him. If one day Webber comes back again, then Lin Yi Almost touched all four of these guys.

The duel between Lin Yi and Garnett may be a highlight of this game, but no one knows whether Rivers will put Garnett, who has been hiding all the time, on the court, and whether he will be on the court. The Celtics took a risk when they desperately needed to win. Everyone was waiting for the day when the game came, and it would be revealed naturally at that time.

In the silent cabin, the teammates around him were already soundly asleep, but Kevin Garnett, who was sitting alone by the window, didn't feel sleepy at all. He was watching the Miami Heat's tape with his laptop in his hand. Like the data, the eyes never leave the screen for a moment.

"Kevin, why aren't you resting?" Garnett heard someone talking in the seat behind him, and he turned around to see Doc Rivers' concerned eyes.

"Coach, it's nothing. I just checked our opponent's information. Did I bother you?" Garnett raised the laptop in his hand to Doc Rivers.

"Of course it didn't bother me. You know, I seldom sleep on planes. What? Are you interested in that big guy from Miami?" Doc Rivers pointed to Garnett on the screen. Speaking of those images.

"A little bit. I've seen the reports of those reporters, and I found out from the video that this kid seems to have changed from the beginning of the season, especially after Wade was injured." Garnett said. While drawing with Doc Rivers, but the voices of the two of them were not loud, and they were limited to exchanging opinions softly.

"They say that little guy is like me, but I find he's probably more aggressive than I was with the Timberwolves, but we're kind of like that, and I guess he's going to be a really interesting opponent, and I might be kind of like that. The feeling of playing in front of a mirror." Garnett said to Doc Rivers with a smile.

"What? You plan to meet him for a while in this game? I want to remind you that your knee has not been approved by the team doctor. I advise you to pay attention to rest." Doc Rivers can Nate's words heard a desire to fight.

When facing a good opponent, Garnett is always full of strong aggression, especially the opponent is in the same position as him, and both in size and style of play are so similar, so it is easier to arouse the wild The bloodiness of wolves.

"Hehe, the drumbeat of going to the battlefield seems to be ringing in my veins. Watching this kid's game video, I really want to compete with him on the field, but the luck of the two of us is not very good. Otherwise, we would have played against each other in the middle of the season." Garnett regretted that he missed the chance to play against Lin Yi.

"We still have the playoffs. I bet that this year's Eastern Conference will be very tough. The Magic, us, the Heat, and the Cavaliers will have the worst battle between these four teams. We want to It is not easy to successfully defend the title." Doc Rivers looked at the picture on the computer screen and said to Garnett.

"Coach, don't worry, I never thought that I only have one championship ring to live. Allen, Paul and I will help the team continue to hit the highest honor. My desire for victory will never be achieved weakened by the goal." Garnett showed Doc Rivers his championship ring.

The dream of the championship has been achieved, but Garnett will not be satisfied with it, he will continue to fight for the trophy, don't forget, he has not been the MVP of the finals, when this guy completely completes the Grand Slam , he might choose to hide his own sharp teeth.

"It's up to you to win the championship, so I need you all to stay healthy, Kevin." Of course Doc Rivers knows who he must rely on to survive the playoffs, so he can Don't want to forget to remind Garnett about the injury.

"Okay, boss, I'll pay attention, you're going to be as wordy as my mother." Garnett raised his hands to Doc Rivers to signal his surrender. What a nagging.

When the two finished talking, Garnett's eyes were still locked on the computer screen, and the little guy jumping on the screen was covering his opponent with his hands.

"Boy, I look forward to a battle with you. I hope we can compete on the field."

Garnett slowly closed the laptop in his hand. He looked at the thick clouds and a bright full moon outside the window, looking forward to meeting someone on the field.

A good opponent, an interesting game, and Garnett had a smile on his lips.
