Center first

Chapter 347
Stealing the ball, the fight between the big men has to use such a method to separate the results. Maybe this is something that the fans in the Amway Arena could not have imagined. They thought it would be another fierce collision, but the relationship between those muscles The confrontation between them did not happen as they hoped. The big man wearing No. 34 ended another offensive and defensive confrontation between the two in such a way, fast, fast, simple, and direct.

Such an offensive ending method seems so simple, but it makes people helpless. When Howard was empty-handed, he had already decided that those guys on the Miami Heat team would use the fastest speed to attack the Magic half court. The ball made the Heat's fast attack like a wind. Stackhouse's footsteps did not appear to have any hesitation because of his age. The lightning sprint and Lin Yi's pass converged at the same point, a beautiful A slam dunk performance, on the fly.

Howard never thought that the big guy would intercept his offense in such a way. When Lin Yi picked up the basketball and threw it forward, he hadn't recovered from the empty-handed state. Not only him, but even the entire Magic team did not react to such a change, that momentary contact, a deadly hand, a steal defense between centers.

A lightning-like steal, before Howard could react, Lin Yi had already completed a quick counterattack across the court, was it an accident?If he had a choice, Patrick Ewing really hoped that this was an accident, but Lin Yi quickly rejected his idea with both hands. In Howard's second low post request, Lin Yi once again used his flexible Footsteps, blocked Howard's breakthrough route.

Howard, who thought he was just careless for a while, did not give up the idea of ​​continuing to attack the opponent's inside line with the ball. This big black guy didn't think that everything just now would happen again. He still stuck Lin Yi's body with his strong back , and his thick arms have been opened as much as possible, and most of the space under the basket of the Heat has been taken by this big guy.

Lin Yi was still attached to Howard's body, but his body was not completely stuck behind the opponent, he just used half of his body to resist the opponent's strife, he seemed to have given up head-to-head confrontation, and Adopting a tricky half-circle forward defensive policy, maybe this guy's physical strength is exhausted too much, Big Van Gundy seems to see that his tactical arrangement has played a certain role, maybe when that guy's physical strength is exhausted and he can no longer support him When the Heat lived under the basket, it was the moment when the Magic won the game. He hoped that Howard could continue to attack opponents in this way.

Howard did exactly the same. His position was extremely resolute. Even though Lin Yi's hands kept harassing his way of receiving the ball, he still relied on his opponent's forward steps. He just waited He tried his best to get the ball into his hands as comfortably as possible from the outside. What happened just now may be due to Alstom passing the ball too hastily. This time he will not let the embarrassment just happen again.

Alston also learned his lesson this time. He didn't want Big Van Gundy's loud voice to yell at him. He once again confuses Chalmers with his shoulder-shaking breakthrough fake, but this feint didn't let Chalmers Moss left his defensive position, which made Alston give up his plan to continue to break through. He was finally able to hoist the basketball high into the inside line in a satisfactory manner. This time, Howard's way of receiving the ball was finally his most comfortable.

Catching the ball, turning his back, and exerting strength, Howard immediately launched his own attack the moment he took the ball. His body was squeezed hard on Lin Yi's defensive side, but his hunched muscles He didn't put all his strength on one side. Although his footsteps were not as flexible as Lin Yi's, his absolute strength was enough for him to win a space for him to turn around at will.

The shoulder-to-shoulder collision was as fierce as the previous confrontation. Lin Yi's defensive center of gravity really took a step back because of this guy's impact. Howard's impact seemed to knock open the opponent's defense line again. The turn around with the ball was done coherently, and he just waited to finish all his actions with a powerful attack after completely throwing off the opponent's defense.

The strong big man squeezed away Lin Yi's defense again in the low singles, but the moment he turned to face the basket, the ghostly palm covered the basketball again, and a strong pressure once again made Huo Yi Hua's hands became empty. He was embarrassed to find that after he squeezed away from his opponent, he lost control of the basketball after taking off. The tall guy was bending over to pick up the basketball and launch a fast break.

Nine points, this is the embarrassing situation that the Magic will face after the timeout. After Van Gundy's roar, they failed to reverse the situation on the court. Instead, they made themselves the passive side again. Relying on the inside attack completely became a scar in front of the opponent's marking, and the most stable scoring point instantly became their fatal weakness. Lin Yi's stabbing was so accurate that even Pat Riley didn't have any scruples about his own. Image problem, he jumped up from the bench excitedly, yelled vigorously at the big man who just interrupted the opponent's attack, his hands kept waving, that little guy surprised him so much, That kid gave the Miami Heat a shot in the arm in this way, their offense continues, they have the ability to win this game, Pat Riley will not doubt it now.

"Boy, you are a fucking genius!" Pat Riley waved his arms vigorously in his rest area, and the big guys sitting on the Miami bench also shouted excitedly , none of them thought that Lin Yi would use this method to find a chance to open the score for the Miami Heat. That kid would always perform a miracle for everyone at such a moment, and today he did not let the Heat The supporters were disappointed, the crazy guy who always let his wits set the pitch ablaze.

"Damn it! That cunning guy!" Of course Patrick Ewing could see the doorway here. He found that Lin Yi had given up playing with physical strength after his reappearance. His half-circling forward defensive method Forcing Howard to put his body center of gravity completely on Lin Yi's body to gain a favorable space in the position, but Lin Yi's kid is using this method to eat Howard alone.

In terms of strength, although Lin Yi can continue to use his chest to resist Howard's invasion, he will definitely consume too much energy if he continues to fight like this, and he has been observing Howard's attack with the ball during the first two quarters of the confrontation Actions, that guy's habitual ball-holding movements made him very familiar with it. Maybe this kind of defense is a kind of gamble, but the opportunity behind this kind of gamble made Lin Yi choose to take risks for the first time.

In the first defense, he hadn't completely let go, and most of his strength was still used to block the opponent's advance, but at the moment Howard turned around with the ball and prepared to attack the basket, Lin Yi chose to practice his own Guess, when that hand accurately covered the basketball, Lin Yi knew that he had succeeded. That guy's attack with the ball has become an established habit, and the angle of dribbling and the way of raising his hand have been etched into his heart. In his movements, his pounces were not entirely risky, he had mastered the guy's habits.

One success doesn't mean anything, but in the second defense, Lin Yi shot faster, and his footsteps became more determined when he gave up his defensive position under the basket. He didn't even wait for Howard's hands holding the ball to be held high. He made Howard's take-off a joke, because the opponent didn't even have a basketball in his hand, and it seemed that when the monster flew into the air, it seemed to be directly The basketball was sent to the position where Lin Yi's palm was, everything seemed to be a tacit cooperation, as if Howard was passing the ball to Lin Yi in this way.

Capture the opponent's offensive habits, capture the opponent's turning rhythm, and even the direction in which the opponent holds the ball and raises his hand is caught by Lin Yi. When all these fall into Lin Yi's arrangement, how does Howard avoid the opponent's attack? In defense, he can only watch the opponent's quick counterattack after knocking down the basketball, he can only watch his hands in a daze, he doesn't even have an angry expression, what is left is only a kind of bewilderment.

Move, damn move, that kid relied on his nimble footwork to block Howard head-on, that ghostly hand seemed to be waiting on the path where Howard raised the basketball and was about to attack, and he was able to shoot accurately every time. He dropped the basketball in Howard's hand, and he didn't need any gorgeous blocks to advertise that it was his territory. He didn't give Howard a chance to turn around and attack.

"Damn boy, has he been thinking about Dwight's shooting habits in the first two quarters!" Patrick Ewing was really afraid of his own thoughts, even Olajuwon back then. You can hide yourself, but that guy can hide until the last moment in such a crucial game before bursting out. Damn old Chuck, what kind of monster did you teach!

Two consecutive steals, in the same position, in the same way, even if Howard's basketball IQ is not high, he can understand how the opponent did it from this, his low singles way is too monotonous to create In such a scene, the opponent is just trying to catch his weakness in turning skills. At this time, the advantage that strength can win him is gone. What he has to face is a big man who is ready to shoot a basketball with his big hands at any time. For the first time, the advantage of strength became a burden in front of flexibility, and Howard felt a wave of confusion.

How did that kid understand his own offensive choices? Is that kid a prophet?Can he really predict what's going on in other people's minds?If Howard knew how much time Lin Yi spent in front of the TV every day, he would consciously put away these questions. No one's success is accidental. Lin Yi's gamble is based on his countless actual battles. In the simulation, he has rehearsed countless times for such an adventure, and the current performance is just a burst of his accumulation.

From the beginning of the game, Lin Yi showed his desire to attack. This is not just because the Heat need his powerful attack now, but also because he wants the opponent's outside attack to lose a kind of protection. scruples, then he must make the opponent's inside line useless, but Howard, who held back his energy and wanted to compete with himself, played proactively at the beginning of the game, which forced Lin Yi to respond, maybe the first The first quarter is a direct confrontation between Lin Yi and the opponent's center, then the second quarter is when he uses his offensive steps to involve the opponent's defense. When everyone's attention is on him, Pat Riley The changes made the opponent lose their inherent rhythm. Although the inside can continue to score, their peripheral firepower has fallen into a situation where they have no ball to attack.

When Van Gundy put his offensive focus on the inside, Lin Yi shattered his illusion in this way. When the big slap was raised, it was to directly smash the confidence of the opponent's head coach, not just to directly defeat him. Howard, Lin Yi even wanted to use this method to disrupt all the arrangements of the Magic. He didn't want the game to be decided at the final stage. He wanted the game to be decided in this quarter.

It's just that his foreshadowing process is still incomplete. If Old Chuck was on the sidelines, he would definitely dig such a trap deeper. Leaving no chance to turn around and counterattack, it's just that Lin Yi's sudden action has plunged the Magic into a state of chaos and disorder, and they have no reaction to such a matchup defense at all.

Losing the balance of the contest, when Lin Yi decided to take a risk, he was already prepared to deal with everything, a not bad result, a victory he expected, but it all happened too fast, When the score on the field was quickly opened, Van Gundy didn't even respond to calling a timeout, he was still at a loss for what happened in front of him.

What the hell is going on? Howard, who has performed perfectly enough in this game, has become the biggest weakness of his team at this moment, and he has just put all the offensive burden on this big man. Like an ironic ending, he even forgot to call a timeout to adjust his formation again. This fat guy with not much hair on his head had the idea of ​​slapping himself in public for the first time.

He was tricked, he was tricked by a first-year rookie, that guy's attack from the very beginning was trying to introduce the Magic's offensive focus to the inside, when everything went according to his arrangement, that guy's His hand has become the nightmare of all Magic players, he doesn't need to fan any offense, he only needs to press lightly to interrupt the Magic's offense, a penetrating long pass can already make the Heat score continue The growth, that guy ended the Magic's counterattack in such a simple way, starting from their offensive center of gravity.

Pause, pause! ! !When Van Gundy reacted, he wanted to use a timeout to adjust the mental state of his players, but when he saw the score on the field, he was a little desperate. In just over a minute, the Miami people The score is six points away from the Magic. The double-digit gap may not be too big for a shooting team like the Magic, but the blank faces of the big men of the Magic can no longer be seen. Any courage to counterattack, they are dribbling the ball in a daze, not knowing how to deal with the movement of the basketball in their hands.

inward?The big man there has been knocked out by the opponent three times in a row, and a forced shot was also slammed on the basket, outward?Look at those guys from Turkoglu who have been held more than one step beyond the three-point line by Bunch Wells. How do they choose the position of the shot? Those old guys who are a head shorter than them have given They caused a lot of trouble. Even when they connected the ball, they had to be pressed against the ribs by the opponent, making it difficult to move an inch.

But can a timeout restore the lost morale of the Magic?Perhaps no one would naively think that Van Gundy can use his magic in such a way. He is definitely not a David Copperfield in the basketball world. He is just a strict executor of basketball tactics. For the decisive role, he can only rely on those big guys under him.

But those big guys have been completely stunned by the crazy attack of the Miami people. It only took this short time for the Miami people to completely control the game in their own hands. This may have never been thought of by anyone. Maybe that The big man was an offensive weapon that was difficult to resist, but the guy didn't use his offense to give the Miami Heat a head start. He only needed three steals to completely wipe out the Magic's offense.

That devilish fellow!Almost everyone in the Amway Arena cursed the big man who turned the situation around in this way. It was he who made the Magic lose their rhythm and their most proud offensive system. His hands not only restrained the Magic's throat, but also made the big man guarding the basket for the Magic lose the courage to continue to resist.

Total defeat!This is all the thoughts hidden under Howard's blank expression now. He doesn't know how he can defeat the guy in front of him, as if every move he made was in the opponent's expectation, as if all his attacks In the opponent's eyes, it can be easily intercepted. He doesn't understand why he can't surpass his opponent after playing so well.

The balance between the giants was broken in less than 2 minutes. The score on the field can already explain everything. Looking at the excited expressions of the Miami people, I am afraid that no one can continue to stop them from walking like the wind on the field. To snatch points, and no one can get a chance to score from that big guy at the basket. That guy is like a devil, waiting there for everyone who tries to hit the basket , no matter who it is, that terrible forbidden zone is already a stranger. . .

Can a short timeout wake up the Magic's resistance?The answer may be something that all Magic supporters don't want to see. Those big men did not wake up from the roar of Van Gundy. When they stepped on the court again, they were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Facing the offensive storm led by Lin Yi, they completely collapsed, especially when Howard was unable to provide them with support, all the offensive players floating on the periphery could not find their most suitable shooting position at all.

Maybe Lewis and Turkoglu are very good big pitchers, but their weaknesses are also obvious. These two guys' ability to fight is always not as good as those muscular men. When the black hand repeatedly interfered with their emotions, what they could contribute was only a few three-point shots made in a panic under passive circumstances, although the two of them combined made four of seven shots. , but they no longer have the sense of rhythm to connect the inside and outside lines.

The game in the third quarter completely became a performance time for the Miami people. The wrestling between the two teams became a one-sided exhibition game in the third quarter. The Miami people used a wave of 25:12 offense to completely draw the scores of the two teams. Open, a difference of [-] points, this is the end of the third quarter, the Miami people left Orlando's gift, a gift full of bitter taste.

Perhaps this is a defeat under the absolute advantage. The Magic team lost in the most critical stage of wrestling. They did not hold their last breath, especially when Lin Yi's hands covered their penalty area, they lost their ability to continue attacking. Courage, maybe this will not be the final result of the Magic in this round of the series, but at least in this first game, they lost, and they lost all the pieces.

25 points, that's all the points Miami led the Magic in the end. Lin Yi didn't let his score rise to 39 points. He only scored [-] points, but he used a triple-double as his own. The Eastern Conference finals wrote the latest report card.

Complete victory, this is the end of the dialogue between Lin Yi and Howard. At least in the first game, Lin Yi completely controlled the monster from offense to defense. In the confrontation between the two big men, he Completely suppressed the opponent, the battle of skills and strength, Lin Yi's wisdom made a simple conclusion, he defeated the opponent with his basketball IQ and keen sense.

At least on this night, no one would ignore the big man standing under the basket of the Heat. He almost used his strength to lead Miami forward. No one could stop him from throwing basketballs into the basket again and again. In the opponent's basket, the opponent's confidence was destroyed time and time again. The big man wearing the No. 34 shirt began to become great on this night. . .

(Watching the Celtics vs. Lakers tomorrow, I don’t know who will win... Maybe these two teams have played a bit badly recently, but this kind of peak confrontation may awaken the fighting nerves of many people, looking forward to Pierce and Kobe Bryant The contest between them... Tomorrow's update will be later, because I have to watch the game... I bet on the Lakers. Although I also like the Wolf King, I don't like the heavy sense of history of the Celtics... Celtic People's supporters, don't unsubscribe because of this, or I will cry for you...)
