Center first

Chapter 93 Challenge the Great Wall of China
Ever since Sam Smith's report was made public, there have been many fly-like reporters outside the Miami Heat's training facility. Originally, there were no secrets in the lives of NBA players, but now Lin Yi is more like a person under a microscope. Microorganisms are typically placed under flashlights.

Those unpleasant things in the past were all exposed in the media by that gentle scum, but Lin Yi was relatively calm. Although he still hated the reporters' questions, he still dealt with them decently.

Both Wade and Spoelstra were a little worried about the impact of these things on Lin Yi. Wade even talked to Lin Yi in his private spare time, but they didn't get anything from Lin Yi's mouth. They were as calm as ever. His usual expression and stability during training seemed to be unaffected by the outside news at all.

Just like old Chuck said to him, don't talk to this guy with particularly severe late-stage symptoms of rabies, otherwise the more you fight back in newspapers and interviews, the more excited he will feel.

Moreover, Old Chuck, Rodman and a few people are worried about having nothing to do now. With Lao Luo's big mouth that loves to spray people, he can just take advantage of this opportunity to increase his exposure.It's not good for Sam Smith to attack anyone. It's okay to provoke these former demons of the alliance. Smith didn't take advantage of any newspapers at the time, and it's the same now.It's exactly what old Chuck wants to have these old fritters come forward to deal with this gentle scum.

Rodman said in the phone call to Lin Yi, "Playing, you are better now, fighting, I am definitely better than you, swearing, you have never been good, so leave it to me to slander people. "

However, Fan Ling still published news about Lin Yi's past in the "Sports Daily" through her own interview, but her sharp writing was always aimed at that shameless Smith.No matter what the gossipy American media thinks, at least in the domestic newspapers, she has disclosed all the processes of Lin Yi's ban and imprisonment.This kind of magnanimity will sometimes give readers more pity. After all, a helpless young man has to bear the life of his sister. Many people will ignore the wrong things he has done, and the reason for beating those scumbags is true. Sufficient enough, the articles that Fan Ling can produce will definitely not be easy to catch.

However, for people like Sam Smith, Lin Yi always believed that fists are the best solution. As long as you don't kill him, you can hit him anyway. Of course, the premise is that you need to touch him.This kind of despicable and shameless person usually only plays tricks behind other people's backs. He knows how he was thrown on the road by Lin Yi when he was in the Lin family, and he doesn't want to repeat it again.

However, Lin Yi also said this at the end of the private interview with Fan Ling. His attitude towards this kind of gentle scum is that "those who pretend to be coercive must beat them and should not be used to them." The more, if he can lose two front teeth, then this kind of person will tend to be much more honest.Old Chuck has already prepared the money for the lawsuit in advance. He is not afraid of causing trouble because of his fiery personality. Sometimes it's not a bad thing.

Lin Yi was not greatly affected by this turmoil. On the contrary, many commercial contracts were posted at this time. They also understand the benefits of advertising effects. This may be the last thing Sam Smith wants to see.

Lin Yi has no time and energy to think about how to beat this shameless guy. His mind is more focused on the upcoming game. For YAO, who is also a Chinese and a center forward, he has more When I was there, I watched from various video materials, and now that I was about to meet, he felt a little uneasy.

With a height of 2 meters and a weight of 29 kilograms, Lin Yi has never encountered these in the previous few games. This will be a huge challenge for him. A long-established oriental giant will bring Lin Yi One can imagine the pressure, a little nervous, but also a little excited.

Chinese media reporters have focused their cameras on the upcoming game. Almost every game of YAO in the NBA will be watched by these people, and now there is an extra gimmick that can be hyped. The old sharks can no longer satisfy the appetite of these reporters, and now there is a Chinese figure in the middle of the new generation, and he is still playing the center position, which gives these reporters a new point of excitement.

When YAO used to play against the Chinese in the NBA, it was often because the opponent was not the main force or the position was wrong. As a result, most of the so-called Chinese derbies were famous but not real. This time, they finally found a similar position, and they have been in the limelight recently. With very qualified opponents standing in front of him, this is a veritable Chinese Derby.

Many reporters prefer to think of Lin Yi as Yao when he just entered the league. His slightly thin body and nimble footwork are too similar to Yao at that time. You must know that Dameng is now the center coach of the Rockets. , and YAO's nimble footwork was also given a beautiful name "Shanghai Dance Step" by Chinese reporters. Lin Yi's "Dream Dance Step" performance in the NCAA has been mentioned by many people. a sense of inheritance.

Lin Yi didn't have so many thoughts, he only pondered the opponent's flaws in the video data, looking for their flaws. The 280-jin weight of YAO is now his biggest headache. He is dozens of catties lighter than his opponent, how to stop the opponent's strong crushing attack.

Normally, Lin Yi can use his foot movement, height, and jumping advantages to defend against opponents who are stronger than him, but now he is facing YAO who is more than ten centimeters taller than him. When everything was in front of him, Lin Yicai realized that he had also fallen into a difficult situation.
What's more, beside YAO, there is Luis Scola, a wild horse from the Pampas grassland. On the bench, there is Hayes, who is experienced in defense, and Carl Landry, who is young and vigorous. The only thing to be thankful for is that love The finger-waggling African mountain isn't sitting on the Rockets' bench.

Seeing that there is only an old Blount and a Haslem with single offensive skills beside him, Lin Yi felt for the first time that he really needed a good helper on the inside. The thin personnel reserve is really stretched to deal with the Rockets Can.

McGrady, Artest, the Heat's defensive pressure on the perimeter is also very high. The opponent's only weakness may be the thin streetball king Ralph Alston. The confrontation with this kind of staffing is not enough. How many people will be optimistic about the Miami people who have always had a good record in the early stage.

The seasoned Adelman and the team's mature personnel mix not only put pressure on Lin Yi, but even Spoelstra felt a headache.It is definitely impossible for Lin Yi, who is on the inside line, to join YAO, as he did in the previous few games when he ravaged the opponent's inside line.The inside line can't open up the opponent's defensive space, which will bring resistance to Wade's breakthrough.If the beast-like Artest faced Marion, I am afraid that "Hacker" would not be able to devote all his energy to the attack. The sleepy-eyed Gracie has also become a thorny problem now. The winning position is Banks vs. Alstom.

The biggest question now is whether the center, who has always been the dominant offensive position of the Heat, will be suppressed or become the key to his victory. Lin Yi may have to face Yao, who is much stronger than him, in a lot of time. Can he resist the opponent's intrusion into the paint?

The result of the confrontation between the two Chinese giants at the basket is likely to affect the trend of the game. Everyone's eyes have all focused on the Toyota Center on the 24th.

Not only domestic TV stations were broadcasting the game, even TNT sent a well-known lineup of commentators. Bill Worrell, who has always loved the Rockets, and Barkley, who once kissed a donkey's butt, jointly served as the broadcast task for this game.

For David Stein’s overseas market development, China is the piece of cake he wants to eat the most. Now this opportunity is perfect for him. One is a rising insider star, and the other is the most popular in China. The basketball superstar, how much attention from the east will be attracted by the collision of these two people, that number makes Stein feel excited just thinking about it.

"A good commentator can turn a game into an epic movie, and now I am Sir Charles, and I will let you experience an epic game in the next few hours." This is Toyota Center The first sentence that came out of the sound effect, Barkley opened his unscrupulous big mouth and started to perform when the players on both sides had just finished their warm-up activities and entered the lounge. Now he can't wait to YAO Was defeated by the new kid, because someone threw a cardboard with a donkey's butt at his feet when he entered the arena just now.

Worrell has always put the Rockets on his list of favorite teams since the Olajuwon era. He has been making suggestions for the Rockets when the record is not good. This may be a deliberate arrangement by TNT. The tit-for-tat commentator is one of the important points of the game, just like the players who are about to meet each other on the field.

"Hey, Charles, I was asked on the way from the door to the broadcast booth just now, will you continue to predict the score of YAO in this game, they want to know this question very much." Wolley turned his head and said Said while looking at Buckley's fat head.

"NO, old man Bill, you have to know that these guys are definitely not asking you for my prediction, they are definitely thinking about how many donkeys they will bring me later to be real." Buckley shook the fat The head said.

"I bet if I'm wrong, these guys will do everything they can to pull all the cattle in Texas to the parking lot outside the Toyota Center and wait for me." Barkley is now afraid to take it easy He made such a bet, the last time the donkey didn't fly when his thick lips kissed its ass, it was very lucky, even a guy with a thick skin like Buckley didn't want to make a fool of himself again.

"It seems that you definitely don't want to do it again, so you should comment on the next game. What do you think of the kid who often appears in the news now? I'm talking about the little guy wearing the No. 34 uniform. In a few games, he can get a double-double in almost every game, which is not a statistic that a rookie can easily get." After Walley brought Barkley into the army, he quickly brought the topic to the upcoming game In fact, Lin Yi's recent news and record are enough to be worthy of TNT's hard work in preparation.

"That little guy can easily remind me of the guy who used to dominate this court. If it weren't for him, I might have worn the championship ring." Barkley pouted, the memory of being overturned by Olajuwon , is now the biggest pain in his heart.

The high-spirited talk outside did not break through the doors of the locker rooms of the two teams. Adelman and Spoelstra were making their own arrangements. Although the staffing of the Heat was not as good as that of the Rockets, this league has never Lack of examples of defeating the strong with the weak, Adelman has never underestimated the team led by Wade, not to mention that there is a big man with full potential standing beside the Flash.

"YAO, I now need you to restrain your compatriot on the defensive end. He is now one of the tactical axes of the Miami people. Don't let him toss in the paint, so that Wade's breakthrough space will be much smaller. They We have watched the videos of several games. Most of the time, it was Lin Yi, No. 34, who set off a wave of attacks in the interior, and they quickly defeated the opponent. Now we are going to strangle him in the interior. YAO, you and Louis should pay attention to the movement of this little guy, you have seen his flexibility from the video tape, don't let him lead you two by the nose." Adelman knew that this game could Not being able to control the inside line is the key to victory, but he is not worried that the experienced YAO will lose to that kid, he continued after a pause.

"Ron, you and Tracy want to stop Wade's breakthrough. That Marion should try not to give him too many open shots. If YAO blocks their inside attack, then Marion will fall into a singles situation. I think your strong body should not let him take advantage of it." Adelman pointed to Artest and said.

Ron Artest didn't answer, but nodded seriously. When Sean Battier couldn't play, the Rockets basically relied on him to defend the perimeter. As for the sleepy McGrady, he rarely Stretch out his long arms to intercept any opponent who breaks through him.

Even Adelman didn't have much confidence in the sleepwalking McGrady to do a good job of defense. If it wasn't because Alexander didn't agree to replace McGrady, he could only continue to use the 2000 million Mr.If possible, he may prefer to exchange for one or two more practical guys to improve his system. He is not the kind of coach who is very good at using superstar players.

Now the media in Houston are still criticizing his Princeton system that created brilliant achievements in the Kings, but no one thinks about him. If there are McGrady who must attack with the ball, there is no room for Princeton to survive.

In the Kings, the ball moves and moves accordingly. Now the Rockets can only move without moving the ball. When they can't break through, McGrady relies more on his cramp-like touch to fire on the outside. He is even unwilling to enter. In the penalty area to make physical contact, Yao could only watch helplessly as the basketball hit the basket and fell into the hands of the opponent's inside line. He was trapped by two or three people in the three-second zone and could not move.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Rockets' glorious staffing is actually not perfect. Without Battier and the finger-waving uncle, the defensive ability of the outside line is somewhat weak.Especially the height of the inside line, except for YAO, the highest point is actually Luis Scola. If YAO sits on the bench due to a foul or during the rotation period, the average height of the entire inside line will directly drop to about 2 meters, that Comrade Hayes and Scola, who claim to have two meters in their shoes, could not completely control the restricted area.

This is also the flaw that Spoelstra was looking for. In the Heat's locker room, he was pointing to the position of Yao and talking to Lin Yi.

"If you can make the opponent suffer foul trouble as soon as possible, then our inside line will have an advantage. The lack of height of the center forward is their shortcoming. Moreover, YAO's body is heavier than yours, so he can't catch up with you. The speed of the movement, his lack of footwork to defend against penetration, if you can tear them apart and give Dwyane an opportunity, then they're going to be in trouble."

"I will, I think I should go around him when defending. After all, let me push a 300-pound guy, I really can't push it. In the past few games, I let others go around to defend me. See Coming to this game, I can finally let others enjoy this treatment." Lin Yi said with a smile.

The Rockets have never really looked for a way to get around the front. The disadvantaged weight has now become Lin Yi's advantage. At least he will not let Yao have a chance to catch the ball comfortably.

Both sides are making the final preparations. The red Big Three are waiting to extinguish the fire from the east, while Lin Yi and Wade are considering how to use this fire to ignite the Rockets' home court. No one wants to take it easy. Hand over the victory, especially the resurgent Heat.

Walking out of the door of the locker room, Lin Yi came to the edge of the arena, looked at the No. 11 who was making a show, and the challenger's excitement began to gather in his eyes. This was the first time he faced a dominant player. As a center forward, and a compatriot of his own, he can't wait for the game to start.

The war between the two Chinese is about to start, and everyone is paying attention to whether Lin Yi's hands can shake the moving Great Wall.

(I had a fever of 38 degrees 7, slept dizzily for most of the day, and suffered from a painful heat cold. Now my physique is really not what it used to be, and I can't bear any trouble.)
