Center first

Chapter 84
Two guns in the backcourt, maybe this nickname is more suitable for the combination of "Answer" and "Melon" in the Nuggets. Their single attack firepower is so strong that it can be said that there are not many in the entire NBA backcourt. Come.But in basketball, 1+1 is not necessarily greater than 2. The tacit understanding between these two people has never been found, and the Nuggets are still struggling in the first round of the playoffs.

If efficiency and individual performance are considered, the combination of Devon Harris and Vinson Carter, who just joined the Mavericks, may be superior in attack power. One is young and full of firepower, and the other is old and full firm.Carter's number of shots has been decreasing year by year, but his accuracy rate and ability to work in the air have not erased his killer essence. Harris' breakthrough has also become the biggest pain in Cuban's heart after he let him go.

Cuban may rarely make wrong decisions, but his letting go of Nash and Harris may be his biggest failure. Uh, in fact, the bigger one is that he spent tens of millions of annual salary to sign Dampier, who is known as the second center in the West. , according to what old Chuck said, you are better off finding a wooden stake than him.

The meeting between Lin Yi and Kong Tianyi was the focus of interviews prepared by many domestic media.Lin Yi was a little speechless looking at the so-called 19-year-old fellow opposite him, but he was very cooperative when the two met, shook hands with a smile, expressed friendship, and pretended to have a few words.

Although Lin Yi didn't know what these were useful for, he still complied with the unanimous request of Rogge and Fan Ling. Alas, this is the so-called news effect, and no one can avoid this kind of thing.

Thanks to the fact that he doesn't have to look after his compatriot on the field, although Tian Tianyi is also a power forward, almost all of his shots are on the outside, which also relieves Lin Yi from worrying.

After all, the arena is the arena, and there is no benevolence, righteousness, or trustworthiness to talk about. Lin Yi will never be soft when it is time to strike. In this regard, he has completely obtained the true biography of those senior brothers. There is no closeness or estrangement on the basketball court. The game will kill everyone in front of you.

Lin Yi's attention is now focused on the two aces in the backcourt of the New Jersey Nets. After all, the center in New Jersey is just a blue-collar coolie, and he wants to rely on Josh Boone, who averages less than 5 points and 6 rebounds per game. It was almost impossible to keep an eye on Lin Yi, who had gradually become familiar with the league's style of play.

The biggest hidden danger for the Miami Heat is the absence of Banks. The last 48-minute fight with the New Orleans Hornets directly caused Banks' ankle to swell. Now the Heat can only rely on the first-year Freshman Mario Chalmers fills the void.

Chalmers is already at a level recognized by everyone in the Heat. It is almost no problem to use him as a backup point guard, but now he has to face Harris, who has entered a mature stage, which makes Spurs Terra can't help worrying about his guard defense.

After all, Wade alone can't defend the opponent's peripheral breakthrough attack, not to mention the opponent's big man can also fire near the three-point line, so Haslem can't help but defend, and there will be more open space inside. Carter and Harry A breakthrough player like Adams couldn't be more fond of this kind of empty inside defense.

Now Lin Yi basically has no problem dealing with the opponent's coolie center. Spoelstra is now more concerned about Lin Yi's supplementary defense. Maybe Lin Yi's flexible footwork is the only thing he can count on. .

But from the very first second of the game, Spoelstra's worries have turned into reality. The New Jersey Nets, lacking an inside fulcrum, directly gave up their attempt to attack inside and fully let go of their fire attack points on the outside. .Kong Kongyi succeeded in two consecutive long shots after playing, so Haslem, who had chosen to keep a certain distance from him at the beginning of the game, had to run to the outside line to defend him.

As a result, only Lin Yi is left on the inside of the Heat to guard such a large blank area. Although he doesn't need to think too much about the lethality that the opponent's center can bring, he must consider the opponent's double-back Field super breakthrough ability.

Space Yi's two consecutive shots from the outside made the domestic reporters in the media seats very excited. After all, this was the smoothest game since his transfer.The decline in the second half of last year's game with the Bucks and the weak performance against the Pacers in the last game have made the media feel that there is nothing to write about, but in this game, they shot two three-pointers. The reporters followed suit.

More people still want to see the duel between Lin Yi and Kong Tianyi in the paint. Only then can it be a real "Chinese Derby". Everyone hopes that this match between the Chinese can spark some sparks. This way they can write more things.

Lin Yi didn't care what was going on in the media's mind. He had stopped Boone's two attacks at the rim in a row, and his two ruthless blocks had directly ruined the New Jersey native's way of life in the paint.However, the internal defense that has been completely emptied has now become a dangerous signal in Lin Yi's eyes. Although the opponent has not yet formed a good breakthrough opportunity, who can guarantee that as time goes by, when the physical strength of the defenders drops , Will the opponent's breakthrough start to show off?

In order to reduce the physical exertion on his own side, Lin frequently asked for the ball inside the Nets at the beginning. After all, his success rate in singles against opponents inside is higher. It is not so easy to mark the backcourt of an ace.

On the one hand, Lin was a little shorter than himself and Boon, who moved much slower, would not show any mercy.The Heat are no longer fighting with the perimeter defenders, but using Lin Yi's singles advantage to focus on attacking the opponent's fragile inside defense.

When receiving the ball, Lin Yi hardly considered Boone's defensive position. He turned around deftly, and the supporting foot bypassed Boone's defensive figure at the moment of turning, and directly took the ball with an easy one-handed buckle. Down two points.

On the defensive end, Kong Tianyi didn't have time to help Boone close the siege, and Lin Yi's nimble footwork would not give them such an opportunity.He could only watch helplessly as this boy, who was actually younger than himself, completed beautiful basket attacks time after time.He may have grinned the corners of his mouth in good faith, hoping to show a smile, but Lin Yi basically didn't notice his expression, but quickly passed by and ran back to his half to prepare for defense.

It's not that Lin Yi is deliberately avoiding something, he is now full of thoughts on how to defend his penalty area, as for that friendly smile, he really has no time to pay attention to it.

Harris and Carter have already begun to use their breakthrough ability to give Lin Yi's defense a sense of oppression. Lin Yi has no time to see if others are laughing at him, but this neglect may hurt someone The psychology of some people, including those in the media seats.

When you're facing two sharp knives, don't try to limit their penetration for 48 minutes, especially with Miami's relatively fragile perimeter defense.

Under the repeated impact of Carter and Harris, the wall that had persisted for almost 10 minutes finally began to show cracks. Under the cover of Bobby Simmons' dislocation, Carter directly got rid of Marion's marking and directly rushed to the Heat's goal. restricted area.

Lin Yi jumped forward almost without any consideration. He had to let the opponent stay on the ground before the opponent's speed fully sprinted. After all, this opponent is one of the most famous dunkers in the league. There are not many Carters who fly. People are sure to stop it.

When Lin Yi was a child, he had seen Carter's abnormally strong jumping ability and ability to stay in the air at his peak on TV.During the Sydney Olympics, the French center Weiss, who Carter leaped 2 meters, completed a dunk, still often appears in the wonderful moments of TV broadcasts. Lin Yi does not want that poor French center to be replaced by himself.

Facing the flying man who was no longer young, Lin Yi still didn't dare to be careless, he could only try to rely on the fast movement of his feet to block the opponent's flying route in advance.

Carter, who has already picked up his speed, will not slow down his progress because of a big man in front of him. In his opinion, this is just one of the inside defenders he has leaped countless times.

With the ball in hand, Carter directly faced Lin Yi's defensive position and rushed over. At the moment when the two bodies were about to touch, Carter made a realistic fake dribble to the right, shaking Lin Yi's center of gravity slightly. shifted a bit.

Carter would never let go of this good opportunity. He quickly adjusted his breakthrough direction and moving steps while dribbling the ball at a high speed, and directly passed Lin Yi's side.

Lin Yi could only look helplessly at this young Canadian flying man who was no longer ravaging the Heat's basket. He was not a god after all. To stop the opponent's attack, no one dares to say that this defense is [-]% successful.

The lack of the Heat's perimeter defense was fully exposed at this moment, and Lin Yi's interior defensive pressure began to increase suddenly. It was not a problem for Lin Yi to stare at a bad center. Suppress the opponent's quick breakthrough steps outside the three-second zone.

In the two minutes before the end of the first quarter, the New Jersey people began to use Harris and Carter's frequent position changes, as well as Fang Yi's shots from the outside to hold back the strength of the Heat's defense, completely tearing the Heat defense system.Lin Yi had directly faced the opponent's rapid breakthrough four times in a row. Although he used his nimble footsteps to block the opponent's breakthrough once, he also felt helpless the other three times.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 28:25. The Heat trailed by three points. Lin Yi scored 9 points and 5 rebounds but had already committed two fouls.

The power of the two guns in the backcourt exploded violently at this moment, and Lin felt that this was a big trouble at first.
