Center first

Chapter 291
On April 4th, the door to the playoffs is about to open, and the Miami Heat have begun to enter the preparation stage. For them, the entire regular season is over.And now the regular season of the entire league is basically coming to an end, and there are only a dozen games left.

Except that the West has not yet fully finalized the final ranking position, everything is ready, and the East has completed their ranking against each other. The Heat can only get a not-so-good No.4 in the end. For them, it's not a good pick.

But this is already an accomplished fact, and Spoelstra didn't pay too much attention to it, but he has already started to make detailed arrangements for the first opponent. At least in the first three games, Lin Yi can't play yet, But their opponents are strong and strong.

If they want to enter the second round, they will not be easier than others, or their opponent is the strongest one of the other teams. The Atlanta Hawks are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. Looking at the Miami man, you can imagine that this is not an easy opponent.

Although the Miamis had an advantage in the regular season, it does not mean that they will easily win the opponent in the playoffs. Don't forget, there was Lin Yi at that time, but now they have to wait for three It takes only one game to wait for that kid to come back.

The Hawks in Atlanta are not easy to deal with. Wade said it himself. He felt a headache when he saw Horford on the inside. The group of guys are all healthy like a calf now.

Not only is the Eagle King a tough character, but even Mike Bibby and Josh Smith are not easy to deal with. At least in the position of small forward, the Miami people do not have any advantage. It is not an easy task to win the victory.

And the Miami people have to endure the annoying situation of the lineup, which is not good for the next confrontation. It is likely to be a very difficult game. The only good news is that they have the home court advantage. Take advantage of that.

But even if the eagles flying from Atlanta are shot down, in the second round they are likely to directly meet the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are the most eager to win the Eastern Conference. That is the most troublesome round of the game, regardless of home court advantage The problem is, even if it is a head-on confrontation, Wade is not fully sure to kill the opponent.

If Lin Yi can return to the team in time and return to his best condition, it’s okay to say that if he fails to meet such conditions, then this round of competition will be the most difficult obstacle for Miami people to overcome. Don’t forget the big crab Impact ability, that ghost movie fan walked and broke through the Dafa, few people can guard against it.

They were at a disadvantage against their opponents throughout the season. Although the game they won was beautiful and ended the Cavaliers' winning streak at the opponent's home court, Lin Yi was considered an unpopular player in that game. The familiar rookie is different now, and LeBron will not accidentally take care of him.

If you want to continue to take advantage of your opponent, you must first consider your overall strength, especially when the opponent has home court advantage, you must ensure that Lin Yi's state can be restored, and you must also guard against any possible problems. For example, the penalty scale of some famous sentries.

Even Spoelstra couldn't help scratching his messy hair when he saw the damned grouping. No way, who made them discouraged at the last moment, slipping directly from No.2 to No.4. To such a shit schedule, it's really fucking God's care.

If Pat Riley's news is accurate, the little emperor who is known as the unparalleled and has been breaking NBA records is very likely to be the winner of the regular season MVP this season. Facing such an opponent, Spoelstra I want to relax and can't relax.

But even if you meet God, you have to fight. Apart from cursing that fat man in Lower Boston, the only thing the Filipino can do is to try to find videos about eagles and knights from the pile of video tapes. Help grandson's weakness, otherwise what can we do?
The game still has to be played, and life is still going on. Lin Yi will come back eventually, and Spoelstra is confident that as long as that kid can crawl back to the field, he will never let him down. Superstition, but what Filipinos know about Lin Yi.

What's more, this cunning guy had just talked with Lin Yi on the phone yesterday, and he could hear the deep fighting intent hidden in that kid's calm voice. It seemed that the little guy couldn't wait to fight with those opponents It's up to you.

As long as you want to call, I am afraid that you will not call. This fox-like Filipino showed his cunning side after putting down the phone.Boy, I hope the playoffs will provide you with a bigger stage to show me a good show, otherwise I will just look forward to your comeback in vain.

As for those damned opponents, if it’s going to rain, your mother will marry someone, let it go, anyway, it will come sooner or later, even if you don’t meet the Cavaliers in the second round, so what, if you want to win the final victory, you will eventually win. To face those strong teams, there is no difference between earlier and later.

The NBA is like this, the weak eat the strong, want to reap the benefits in such a cruel playoffs?Then you might as well choose to daydream a little easier. If you want to win the championship, you better be prepared to go shopping every game, otherwise no one will give the championship away.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are people in the NBA.

Where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances, and the NBA has rivers and lakes.

Where there is a grievance, there must be a conclusion. The NBA has a playoffs.

There is a kind of arena called PLAY OFFS. Yes, in the NBA arena, any grievances should be settled as soon as possible, and the playoffs are the most ideal place. Winners and losers, the playoffs are the best way to explain these four words Regardless of any grievances between you, go to the arena to resolve it.

When the playoffs come every year, it is the moment when the adrenaline of those crazy fans starts to secrete rapidly. There are the hottest confrontations and the most popular stars there. Also, it has continued since the day there was the NBA. many grudges.

This may be one of the most fascinating reasons for the playoffs, where there are endless confrontations and confrontations, even decades-old feuds, or just because the two head coaches are old enemies, or their general managers are not harmonious, or even It is the fans who see that the opponent's city does not deal with it, which may be the fuse of the game.

This was even more so in the 09 playoffs. It was full of grievances and hatred, and there were too many old scores.Those strong guys can't wait to finish off their opponents. Only in such a crazy arena can their bloodthirsty nerves be satisfied.

No team will give up their chance to win, regardless of whether their strength is directly proportional to the opponent, as long as they can cross that threshold, all teams will do their best. As for who the opponent is, it doesn't matter at all, anyway here It is the battlefield.

This is the portrayal of the playoffs. If you want others to be your stepping stones, then use all your own strength, otherwise what is waiting for you is only a miserable failure and defeat. The booing of those crazy fans, there is no sympathy for any loser here.

The reborn Miami Heat carry the expectations of the city, and the crazy Miami people look forward to their comeback in the playoffs, and in front of them are three main competitors, but they are not alone , almost every team that enters the playoffs will encounter these problems.

Who hasn't told a story yet, let alone the NBA that has been playing for decades, there will be a bit of a feud between anyone and everyone. David Stein just created a venue for them that is more suitable for duels. As for who can stand If you want to go out, it depends on their own true abilities.

The Houstonians vowed to pass the first round of the playoffs, regardless of whether their opponent is the Jazz or the Trail Blazers. YAO, who was about to be tortured by the first round, said that he would pass the first round even if he died. , although they have lost the magic Tracy McGrady.

The Jazz have not yet determined their opponent in the first round, but whether it is the Rockets or the Lakers, they are all targets that Utah wants to conquer. The grievances between Sloan and Phil Jackson have been lingering for more than ten years, and this The old feud between the two men and Adelman is also an old problem.

These are just some old enemies in the west, and there are also many in the east. Look at the Cavaliers and Pistons. They have been fighting since 06. This year, the confrontation between them has been mentioned in the first round. The tit-for-tat confrontation between opponents must be full of blood.

The confrontation between the Little Emperor and The Flash is also full of suspense. One is the favorite of heaven who is very likely to be elected as the MVP of the regular season, while the other is the number one scoring machine who is sure to win the title of scoring champion. When we are together, it is difficult not to spark something.

In addition, don't forget, after the little emperor won the victory against the Heat, he yelled at the TV screen that he was waiting for Lin Yi's comeback in the playoffs, and he would personally defeat a complete team. The Miami Heat, not just a Flash.

"That guy obviously doesn't take me seriously now, so you must get the hell out of me right now, or if I lose to that guy, I will lose face very much. I don't want to be oppressed by that guy all the time." On top of my head."

Wade yelled violently while holding the phone. Lin Yi on the other side of the phone subconsciously held the phone away from his ears. He found that Wade's bad temper was just like Spoelstra's, and he was losing. After the game, I asked him to vent. There was no way, who made his ankle go on strike at this time.

"Damn it, if you don't return to the team, be careful and I'll fly to Oregon. His uncle, we could have picked a good schedule, but now we're going to start shopping in the second round, damn it Luck, if you were here, why would we have to fight so hard."

Listening to Wade's non-stop complaints on the other end of the phone, Lin Yi could imagine how depressed this guy is now. Although he did not fall behind in terms of statistics, Wade lost to the little emperor after all. The game was lost entirely because of the loss of control inside, which made Wade already depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

"Okay, let's let that crab jump for a few more days. In the second round, I promise to make this guy pay for his arrogance in the second round. We bet, this guy will definitely be beaten by ours." Boil it into a pot of seafood soup, I swear by my personality like you."

Lin Yi could only try to calm down the irritable Wade. Although he himself was very displeased with the little emperor's remarks, he believed that the best revenge for this kind of guy who claims to be invincible is on the court. It's better to slap him directly with a big slap.

Don't you have invincible crab steps? OK, I will slowly break all eight of your legs this time, and then steam them into crab soup for you over low heat. Can't you jump up?I see that you have no claws this time, and you even jumped to a P. MVP is it?This time, I will make you a completely remembered person.

The internal weakness shown in the previous few games made many Miami supporters feel worried. Now they hope that Lin Yi can appear on the sidelines immediately, but it seems that the kid has no plans to show up immediately. These fans can only express their depression vented his emotions on the Heat's official website.

Now maybe all Miami fans are looking forward to Lin Yi's speedy return, including himself. The annoying injury on his ankle is about to heal, and the only thing Lin Yi can do now is to wait quietly, waiting for him to return. The moment you get to the field.

Just like all leading actors in movies, some people's appearance ceremony is destined to be dazzling, he will focus all eyes on himself, maybe Lin Yi himself did not realize this, he is still putting all his thoughts on Use it on what Rodman and the others taught themselves.

The position under the basket, the movement space within the three-second zone, and the range that he can control. Looking at Lewis's division of the attack methods he often chooses during the regular season, as well as the attack locations he is good at, Lin Yi is Carefully crafted offensive skills.

Defensively, he needs to learn how to choose positions when defending. Maybe he can rely on his strong jumping ability to win space for himself, but now he can't rely entirely on his talent. He must become smarter and better. Be cunning.

"Observing their habitual breakthrough positions, you don't need to memorize all of them. You just need to remember which is their absolute attack point, ponder him, and keep all his habitual moves in mind. selection judgment."

"Don't think that your jumping ability and movement around the basket are omnipotent. Those swingmen's footsteps are much faster than yours. Don't give them the opportunity to start first, block them, and attack them in the first place. Ideas are strangled in the cradle."

"It's wisest to nip the opponent's offense in the bud, instead of relying on your second reaction to make up for it. Don't forget, you are not God, but Miami's basket cannot lack your existence. There's not a lot of capital to burn."

"How the Filipino will use your defense, I can't guess, but don't put yourself in a passive position. In a place like the playoffs, details will determine many things. If you want to win the final victory, then you It’s best to get every little thing right.”

"Don't be superstitious about your abilities. You are not omnipotent. You are a challenger now. If you want to win, you'd better keep your attitude to the minimum. Of course, I'm not asking you to pretend to be a grandson. You should Don't be soft when you beat these guys up."

"Remember, the role of the center is to control the opponent's offense. You don't need to pursue the false name of scoring points, but you must make yourself the last barrier that the team can rely on. A good center can make everyone feel happy. Relax."

"Take yourself as the center, give full play to what you can do, don't leave any regrets for yourself, and don't let yourself think too much in your head. This is how basketball games are. The more you think, the more you lose. Many, you have to grasp the scale yourself.”

"Boy, when you play, I will definitely put a TV in Chuck's old man's ward, let me and him witness your performance on the court, try to hit every ball well, the two of us The old man will bless you, although he has not woken up, but I think he will be with you."

Lewis' words were deeply engraved in Lin Yi's head. He looked at the timetable on the wall. There are still six days before April 4th. The door to the playoffs is about to open. The Heat's first game The game will also start soon at the American Airlines Arena.

Maybe this damn injury will make him unable to catch up with the first few games, but this does not prevent him from taking the Atlanta Hawks as his research object. Don't forget, there is also an old opponent in the All-Star rookie game waiting for him, Al Horford.

Treat every opponent seriously, this is the first thing Lin Yi understands. If the regular season is the time to sharpen the knife, then the playoffs will be to see who has the best knife. No matter what method is used, the opponent can be killed directly. Okay, he's now ready to make the eagle his first victim.

There are still two days left, and Lin Yi is about to board the flight back to the team. He knows what kind of fight is waiting for him. Now this little guy is still faintly excited. Maybe only such a cruel battlefield is suitable for him. He is such a person.

Just like old Chuck said, Lin Yi is a mad dog who is never afraid of fighting. When he shows his white teeth, the only one who can feel trembling is the enemy, the opponent, not himself. The only thing that can be felt is excitement.

However, before Lin Yi was about to set off, he needed to endure the sadness of parting. Rodman and Lambiel were ready to leave after staying here for more than ten days. Lin Yi originally wanted these two big brothers to be with him. Back to Miami, but they turned it down.

"We're here to see old Chuck. As for the playoffs, that's not our stage anymore, but don't worry kid, we will cheer for you in front of the TV. Don't embarrass us Pistons, although You're in Miami, but your soul belongs to the Motown, and I'll never forgive you if you play badly in the game."

Rodman said with a smile, this guy doesn't seem to care about anything, but as soon as Lin knew, this guy has been in a panic since the day he left the NBA. How will people live after basketball.

Maybe the crazy scene atmosphere will remind them of their past glory. Anyway, these guys seldom go to the scene after leaving the league. They may prefer to be a spectator instead of entering themselves. among those roles above.

After a game with a strong sense of substitution, what awaits these guys is an endless sense of emptiness, so even Lin Yi's invitation did not change Rodman's mind, and he still refused to go to American Airlines with Lin Yi to watch ball invitation.

Lambiel's refusal may still be a little persuasive. The WNBA coach still has a lot of things to do. It is very rare for him to be able to devote more than ten days to special training for Lin Yi.

After bidding farewell to these two senior brothers who grew up with him, Lin Yi found that he still needed to be a sender. Taylor Swift told Lin Yi that he would be going to The news is about to leave here.

"A lot of performance contracts have not been dealt with. Anna has been under a lot of pressure recently because of the things between us. I can't watch her worry about me all the time, and I have to fulfill those annoying contracts, so it may have to wait until you call When I get to the Eastern Conference finals, I will have time to go to the game."

Taylor Swift looked at Lin Yi with a look of reluctance. Even Lin Yi himself was a bit unprepared for such a parting. He himself was a little used to being surrounded by this beautiful girl, and suddenly said that he would After leaving, Lin Yi himself was a little stunned.

"It's nothing. Anyway, my injury is almost healed now. It shouldn't be a big problem. As long as time permits, you can come to the American Airlines Arena at any time. I will arrange the best seat for you." Lin Yi paused Speaking of.

"Performance is a very hard job. Pay attention to your body. You have been a little haggard these days to be with me. Don't make your body tired." Lin Yi added later, although his voice was not loud, but Taylor I can hear you clearly.

This big wood who seldom expresses her emotions finally knows how to feel sorry for others. Although Taylor is a bit reluctant to part for a while, but hearing Lin Yi's words of concern, she has written smiles on her big eyes. meaning.

That afternoon, Lin Yi drove Taylor to the airport in person. When Lin Yi drove Taylor to the airport entrance, Taylor didn't care about the crowd of reporters behind him. She gently hugged Lin Yi's body and melted her whole body into In the arms of this big man, enjoying the warmth.

"When I come back, take care of yourself, or I will feel bad." A soft whisper sounded in Lin Yi's ear, and before Lin Yi could react, Taylor pressed his lips lightly. On Lin Yi's cheek, just like that night full of ambiguity.

Even if the cameras around him kept blinking, it didn't stop Taylor from expressing his feelings, which was warm enough to make Lin Yi worry.

Lin Yi didn't refuse Taylor's kiss, he also gently embraced Taylor's body as a response.

When the plane gradually went away, Lin Yi sent his blessings to this beautiful girl from the bottom of his heart.

Two days later, Lin Yi stepped into the airport again. He had already packed his bags, and he was about to start his journey to the playoffs.

Playoffs, here I come. . .
