Center first

Chapter 378
The twelve minutes that have just passed can be said to be a nightmare for Lakers fans. The group of Miami people seem to have started to play crazily in an instant. Every corner of the field is full of fierce confrontation. The extremely relaxed Lakers encountered the craziest counterattack since they entered the playoffs throughout the third quarter.

When these Miami lunatics attacked the Lakers' defense, they didn't seem to care who was defending in front of them. As for the existence of the basket in their eyes, it was not just one person or two, but every Everyone on the court is like this, including a pure shooter like Cook who dares to fight Wharton. Do you think there will be anything impossible to happen.

"These guys are crazy, they are even more crazy than the Denver Nuggets led by George Karl, they all seem to see a red cloth bull, everyone is smashing into the Lakers players, what they pursue is not only to surpass the score, but also to knock down the Lakers in direct confrontation."

The fans on the sidelines saw such a ruthless style of play, they couldn't believe that this is still the 21st century that advocates offense, some of them seemed to have watched the moment when the Lakers F4 was knocked down by those Detroiters, Maybe this kind of worry is not one or two people, but has spread to every corner of the entire arena.

Those guys who had already lost their will to resist seemed to be refilled with the courage to continue fighting in an instant, including Pat Riley, who had been acting as a gentleman in the first half, every Miami Everyone seemed to be extremely excited, from the players on the court to the substitutes off the court, and even those players who were not qualified to play kept shouting from the sidelines.

They seem to want to use this method to convey their strength to their teammates. Wade and Raja Bell, those guys in suits and leather shoes, are now waving towels in their hands on the sidelines, cheering for their teammates on the field. Even if only their voices are calling for Miami in this arena.

Pat Riley has even loosened his tie. In the second half of the third quarter, he stood on the sidelines with his hips akimbo, reminding every member of the Miami Heat with his loud voice that he must not stop on the court. To run, to tear the Lakers' defense line constantly, to make up for the loopholes in their own defense line, not to relax for a moment, let alone to have any pause, must use running to drag the opponent away !
Shen Suanzi is not only reminding his players with such a loud voice, he is also criticizing the referee's penalty with a strong attitude. Of course, this old fox knows that the initiative of the game is sometimes won in this way, and he will be very smart Choose to complain to the referee at a certain moment about the penalty just now, especially when there is a dispute on the spot, this old guy who no longer cares about his image, starts to put pressure on the referee.

"That's a cunning old man, like a fox hunting around, he will always find the most uncomfortable place for his opponent to bite." Phil Jackson watched his old opponent non-stop on the sidelines He is performing, but he is not interested in competing with his opponents for appearance rate. His team is in trouble now, and he just wants to solve the troubles of his players as soon as possible.

But Pat Riley seems to have grasped the lifeblood of the Zen master. Phil Jackson's two timeouts did not achieve the results he wanted. The situation on the field is still chaotic, except that Kobe can effectively control the situation. In addition, every member of the Lakers team seemed a little flustered, but their opponents were more accustomed to this kind of melee, robbing, counter-robbing, robbing again, and throwing out of bounds to save the ball. This kind of scene has not happened once or twice. This rhythm continued throughout the third quarter.

Zen Master tried to reverse this chaotic situation, but throughout the third quarter, Lin Yi did not give Zen Master any chance. He always dragged the Lakers' defensive center of gravity inside, no matter whether he was facing Gasol or Odo Tom, even the huge Bynum, Lin Yi was not soft on his hands. He used his mid-range shots and quick and nimble singles skills to continuously attack the Lakers' defense.

If it wasn't for that guy Kobe who started stealing points crazily in the second half of the third quarter, maybe the entire Lakers would be facing much bigger troubles than what they saw. Just look at the scores of Lin Yi and Kobe, One scored 34 points, and the other contributed 30 points. When the backbone of the two teams began to work hard, then don't think that either side will stay strong in such a game.

Now the fans in the Staples Center Arena may not want the fourth quarter to start so quickly, and some of them have even started to pray that the game will end here. There was too much pressure on the supporters of the Zijin Army in the three quarters.

You know it's at the Staples Center, it's on Lakers territory, it's after the Lakers lead them by sixteen, but those Miami guys seem to be ignoring everything, their heads There is only one very clear and simple idea in Li, which is to chase points, use all conceivable methods, as long as it is not killing people, they can do whatever they want, Pat Riley gives them freedom, including technical fouls, or unconventional means, except Except for maliciously hurting others, everything is fine, all he wants is the result.

Chasing [-] points for a whole quarter, can you imagine that's what a group of guys just broke in the second quarter did?Can you imagine that this is a big reversal when facing a strong player like the Lakers?Possibly even Miami Heat supporters had despaired after the first half.

But the group of guys who often perform miracles came back in this way, and they came back in a shocking way. Not only all the Lakers supporters seemed to think that they had the key to victory, because that The big man has been firmly tied to the basket by Zen Master.

But it was the big man who almost collapsed the inside of the Lakers in the third quarter. Look at Gasol's messy hairstyle when he left the court at the end of the third quarter. This handsome Spanish guy who always pays attention to his appearance is now He no longer cared about any image issues, all he cared about was how badly he was beaten by that oriental boy, and how embarrassed he looked in the camera.

Obviously, this guy is the most unlucky one in the entire Lakers team now. He was basically blown out by Lin Yiwan once in the entire third quarter, and the [-]-point gap that the Miami Heat caught up with was at least one-third. The second is to focus on the confrontation between Gasol and Lin Yi, especially in one-on-one situations, Gasol doesn't even have the basic defense method, which is not as impressive as he was against the Nuggets.

Lin Yi would never have the opportunity to follow up closely with Gasol, his footsteps will always be faster than the Spaniard, especially when the two are confronting each other, he will always turn around and get in, so that Flexible movements to get rid of Gasol's marking, and the time difference is perfectly grasped.

Originally, what a continental European center like Gasol is best at is looking for opportunities on the move, but now he has become a foil on the field. The opponent not only uses his high shooting percentage to score in the offense, but also his own The ability to move almost makes Gasol's movements look like slides.

Look at what that guy Lin Yi did in the last attack in the third quarter, and you can see why Gasol is gray and downcast now. When it was the turn of the Miami Heat to attack, the third quarter With less than 15 seconds left, when the Miami Heat advanced through half court, Kobe pushed it out.

Kobe didn't let Lin Yi's pick-and-roll succeed this time. When Chalmers tried to bypass Lin Yi, he stuck him on the three-point line.The pick-and-roll tactics that Chalmers has been resolutely implementing were stuck by Kobe at this time, and there was not enough time for Chalmers to reorganize the offense again.

Chalmers originally wanted to use his fake moves to sway Kobe, but he chose to give up after one attempt. The opponent's marking was too tight, leaving him no chance at all. Chalmers, who Lin Yi pulled open, could only hand the ball into Lin Yi's hands at this moment.

With less than seven seconds left, Lin Yi did not directly hold the ball with both hands as before, waiting to continue to hold Gasol one-on-one. Moving the passing basketball to the right, the whole body suddenly began to move laterally.

The distance of a stride is not too big, but Lin Yi's movement this time was too sudden, he almost started it at the moment when Chalmers passed the ball, and he did not move forward in response to the basketball, but along the The direction of the ball shrank his body back, which violated his offensive style, and Gasol lost his defensive position in an instant, and could only passively follow Lin Yi to move.

However, after Lin Yi took a step back with the basketball, he directly hit Gasol's chest with his shoulder. This kind of impact was not purely for the pursuit of confrontation, but because he saw Gasol's intention of chasing and defending him. , He just pushed against the opponent's body and carried it directly. What he wanted was the effect caused by his sudden burst of strength, such a sudden impact would make Gasol completely lose his position.

As he wished, Lin Yi's impact was not only sudden, but also very tyrannical. This fierce impact made Gasol's footsteps visibly stagnant. When he stabilized his center of gravity, the guy who just knocked him away had already Lightning wiped from Gasol's side, of course, that was only for a confrontation between centers, not the impact speed of a madman like Wade.

But this was enough to get rid of Gasol. When Odom threw off Magloire's defense and rushed over, all he could see was Lin Yi flying into the air, and Odom definitely didn't go up. The desire to block the front, he knows very well that when that guy rushes up, it is best to stay away, that is not an offense that can be stopped at all, unless you want to try what is called a bullet-like impact.

When Lin Yi's big hand was pulling the basket hard, the red light on the timer was already on. It only took a few minutes for this guy to go from receiving the pass from Chalmers to scoring directly. To seven seconds, not to mention the time he vacated and passed Gasol, you should now understand why the Spaniard's face is so ugly, this is simply a shame for Gasol, the opponent It took less than seven seconds to end his defense, which was almost like passing through a cloud of air.

After completing the attack, Lin Yi deliberately walked in front of the Spaniard and stared at the opponent with cold eyes. He wanted to use this method to completely defeat the Spanish big man's will to resist. The crazy aggressiveness is rarely seen in normal games, but on this night, he seemed to be a villain transformed into a demon, venting all his fierceness crazily.

With a tyrannical impact and a beautiful cut, Lin Yi used this method to deal with the inside defense of the Lakers. He has been tormenting Gasol in this way throughout the third quarter. After Yi's double-teaming, he seemed a bit chaotic, which also allowed Pat Riley's chaotic style of play to achieve the result he wanted most. Except for Lin Yi, the rest of the guys began to contribute their efforts. energy.

Bunch Wells' big butt has already made Ariza or Odom suffer. This guy doesn't have any absolute skills to back the basket. He just relies on his huge butt to find space for himself. As long as you If he wasn't paying attention, he would directly let himself slip to the baseline or cut back. This style of play has already allowed him to score eight points in the third quarter, and he made a super high shooting rate of four out of five shots.

No way, there may not be many people in the entire Lakers team who can push Bunch Wells who is walking sideways. This guy is a crab with a big butt, and his two big elbows are more like those two big pliers , It can kill anyone at once, and Odom has already personally experienced it once.

"That guy can only return to his most normal performance by resorting to this kind of rogue style of play. He is definitely not the kind of college player who can play basketball one by one. On this guy, there is only this unconventional offense. Only in this way can we play the biggest role.” Pat Riley’s most proud thing now may be that he signed back a bunch of hooligans with such a small price.

"What's there to be proud of... Now in the entire Miami Heat team, there seems to be fewer and fewer people who can play normally without being overcast, alas, a den of hooligans..." Wade looked at Pat Riley with a smirk on his face. He could only wipe the sweat off his head. There was nothing he could do. The current Miami Heat team has indeed become a gang of hooligans. There are only a handful of good people here, including Lin Yi. None of them are good, of course, referring to the field.

Cook, who came on as a substitute for Quinn, also showed his three-point firepower with a shooting rate of nearly 40% from the three-point line. This guy who can contribute 10 points in less than 9 minutes per game, finally let people see the Miami Heat. Long-range attack, when Lin Yi sometimes involves the opponent, Cook will always appear very appropriately on the open space of the three-point line. It may not be too efficient to make three of five shots, but it is enough for the Lakers. The team must be distracted and work hard on the perimeter defense, which also gives Lin Yi more space to use.

This is the recovery of a team as a whole. Because of the existence of one person, he revitalized the internal and external connections of the entire Miami Heat, and what he brought to this team is not just as simple as scoring, he made this team regain Crazy, like a flame that can melt everything, desperately releasing its own heat in Staples.

"Old man, this may be the most serious atmosphere in the Staples Center all season. I can hardly hear any cheering. Everyone here is holding their breath and watching the finale. An offense, when that kid scored, I heard a lot of sighs." Van Gundy and Mark Jackson beside him talked about his feelings just now.

"I think the whole of Los Angeles may have sighed just now. They lost to their opponents by more than ten points in the third quarter. I am afraid that this is not something that any team can easily do. You must know that Kyle, who has the Big Three The Specialists couldn't take advantage of the Lakers, but this team from Miami did."

"If I were poor Paul, I would look like him. He was being ravaged by his opponent the whole third quarter. It was like a little girl who was taken home by robbers. This poor Spanish center He ran into an opponent who was too crazy." Mark Jackson's words seemed to be comforting Gasol, but no matter how he heard it, it seemed to be a huge blow to the Lakers' tactics in the second quarter. Satire.

Irony?It seems so, the situation on the field seems to have really slapped Zen Master severely. The feast he carefully prepared for Lin Yi was turned into a joint by Pat Riley and Lin Yi. In a scuffle, although Zen Master’s face has not shown any abnormalities, everyone knows how angry this old man is now, look at him, he didn’t sit on a chair for the whole third quarter Just know.

There are still [-] minutes left, and the outcome will definitely be decided, but now I am afraid that even the hearts of Zen Master and Kobe have begun to waver. . .Whether Lin Yi's reversal will continue, only this guy knows, but when Kobe watched Lin Yi walk to the rest area, his slightly thin body made him feel a kind of pressure.

It was an irresistible sense of oppression, and it hit Kobe's chest fiercely. Maybe it could arouse Kobe's fighting spirit, and maybe it would also crush the dream of the entire Lakers. . .

Twelve minutes later, the verdict of life and death was decided, and there was only one winner, and only those who could grit their teeth until the last second were eligible to stand out from here. . .No matter what the ending is, Lin Yi's name is enough to be remembered by Los Angeles. . .

(The first battle is expected to be posted tomorrow... Maybe the memory of watching AI challenge the Lakers is too deep, so I always hope that there will be a heroic guy who can inherit that kind of bravery, so this battle is a bit long... I'm sorry... AI may really leave us from now on, alas, there is one less spiritual sustenance...)
