Center first

Chapter 261
Everyone was waiting for the moment when the game started. When the players of the two teams settled down and stood up, the two tall figures waiting for the kick-off in the middle circle still attracted the attention of everyone present. Those cameras All the lenses were pointed there.

Lin Yi stood quietly in the middle circle, and the person standing opposite him was Garnett. These two people seemed destined to satisfy those fans who were looking forward to seeing the duel between the two. Perkins made a very wise choice In order to evade, Garnett became the jumper of the Celtics. It seems that he and Lin Yi are determined to start a full-scale confrontation, and even plan to enter the fighting state from the jumper.

There was not much eye contact, both of them were unusually quiet, not even the nonsense that was often heard, and all the attention of Lin Yi and Garnett was focused on the ball in the hands of the referee. On the orange basketball.

That is the focus of their contention. These two spring legs are accumulating their own strength. Lin Yi's jump ball rarely touches the opponent. When the Timberwolves, they almost monopolized the right to jump the ball, and this wolf rarely lost to others.

The clear whistle of "beep" reminded everyone that the game had begun.The orange-red basketball was thrown high into the air by the referee, and two tall figures jumped up from the middle circle in an instant, their long arms stretched out to the landing point of the basketball.

"Crack", almost at the same time, two wide palms covered the orange basketball at the same time. Neither Lin Yi nor Garnett took control of the basketball. It bounced out irregularly under the collision.

Lin Yi and Garnett made a simple measurement of each other's jumping ability in the bottom of their hearts. It seems that the opponent's legs are no worse than their own. The palms of the two people are almost at the same height. In basketball, no one has taken advantage of it.

Such an evenly matched confrontation will ignite the excitement of those fans. The moment the basketball was lifted into the air, the American Airlines Arena began to be filled with explosive cheers. The team quickly entered the state.

Reggie Miller and Buck also used their passionate voices to urge the atmosphere to heat up rapidly. Even Spoelstra and Doc Rivers began to tense their nerves. From the moment the game started, they He had already stood on the sidelines, staring intently at the changes on the field.

Wade used his lightning-like footsteps to take the first step to control the basketball, but he soon found that there was a man in front of him, Ray Allen, and he entangled Wade immediately. He also entered a state of dead knocking at the beginning of the game.

Although Ray Allen is not a strong defensive player, he doesn't want Wade to take advantage of him. If he is the only one of the Big Three to lose, then he will be very embarrassed.

After Wade controlled the basketball, Ray Allen had already put his body on it, and he wanted to delay Wade's halftime as much as possible.

Steadily controlling the tempo, Wade did not choose to speed up to pass others at the first time. Although he did not think that the high scorer opposite him would trap him defensively, he still chose to slow down the tempo first. Guarding against Ray Allen's harassment, he signaled his teammates to move.

The jump ball confrontation between Lin Yi and Garnett was just the prelude to the game. The two men did not entangle too much. Lin Yi bypassed Garnett's body and began to run towards the Celtics penalty area. Go, when he was about to take a position in the penalty area, Perkins had already pushed out the first time.

Garnett did not choose to actively mark Lin Yi, but adopted a defensive stance on the other side of the interior. Haslem also tried his best to use his body to make contact with Garnett, so that the wild wolf could be as close as possible. He didn't have time to worry about Lin Yi's side.

A center forward with a height of [-] meters like Perkins does not put much pressure on Lin Yi. Although Perkins' weight does not make him suffer in confrontation, his slow pace still limits his ability to circumvent Lin Yi. In the front defense, Lin Yi has naturally blocked the opponent's footsteps trying to go around with his body. After standing still, Lin Yi opened his hand and asked Wade for the ball.

A lob, Wade lobbed the ball directly from above Ray Allen's head to the penalty area after the entire team's formation was stretched. Although Perkins tried his best to interfere with Lin Yi's normal catch, he still couldn't use his footsteps. Move to cut off Lin Yi's receiving path.

Seeing that Lin Yi had already caught the ball, Perkins could only use his stocky body to carry Lin Yi behind him. He wanted to prevent this little guy from completing his turn around. The only thing Perkins could do was his strong body. Capital that can be relied on.

However, Lin Yi didn't seem to intend to give the opponent a chance to fight his body. When he received the ball in the direction of Wade's pass, he had already bent his body back against Perkins, and his center of gravity dropped rapidly. , the whole body began to swing with its back to the basket.

To the right, Lin Yi's body suddenly began to move to the right while he was short. His right foot had already taken advantage of the turning position. At this time, Perkins' defense was completely lost. He was able to move his footsteps backwards, ready to block Lin Yi's footsteps in a slightly retreated position.

The moment Perkins moved his footsteps, Lin Yi had retracted the foot he had just stepped out. Like a spinning top, under the gaze of Perkins, Lin Yi completed the movement to the other side with his left foot as the axis. All the movements of turning around, when Perkins wanted to bring his center of gravity back again, it was already too late.

With a simple swaying of his back, Lin Yi's fake action is not dazzling, but the speed of his footsteps ensures the coherence and speed of his movements. a way out of .

Probing for a layup, under Perkins' helpless gaze, Lin Yi stretched his long arms without any hindrance, and directly ended the attack with a wiper into the basket.

However, Garnett's defensive pace was always a step slower due to Haslem's involvement. He could only watch Lin Yi complete his performance, and the sound of the basketball rubbing against the net was very clear.

When Lin Yi passed by Garnett, he didn't tease his opponent as usual, but looked at the wolf king's expression with his own eyes, and didn't say a word, even the expression on Lin Yilian's face Nothing has changed, he just ran past Garnett calmly.

The Heat scored two points first. It was a simple and easy attack. Lin Yi did not choose a violent attack. He knew that this was just a warm-up. He wanted to conserve his energy as much as possible. The current matchup was just the prelude to the storm. The real confrontation has not yet begun.

However, the fans in the American Airlines arena couldn't calm down. The team's first attack was declared a success. Lin Yi's fake movement was not gorgeous, but they had already seen that this little guy's offense in this game was very good. Take the initiative, maybe the next game will be more intense.

These crazy fans began to cheer for their team. It was a shout of individuality and a challenge to the opponent. Sometimes there was no need for the players to say anything, and the fans present could already ignite the atmosphere.

A very standard center forward's low-post singles action, the footsteps are also surprisingly fast, the touch is very soft, and the movements are stretched enough. This is Garnett's evaluation of Lin Yi. He smacked his lips.

"A very good kid, a very good opponent." Garnett whispered to himself, only he could hear it.

(I try to keep it updated as much as possible. Please forgive me if something unexpected happens...By the way, congratulations to the Nets for losing nine games in a row. At this time, I guess a lot of media will start clamoring. The Nets without space YI have been reduced to third-rate teams.)
