This Forward is Not Serious

Kidd was very calm in the interview, but social media fans were not so calm.

The press conference here is still open, and there are all kinds of P pictures flying around, some of which are things you can't imagine.

For example, "hit.me" was directly changed to "kiss.me", and it was also accompanied by a kiss photo accidentally made by NBA players during confrontation.jpg;

Some fans are even more open-minded, saying that if Kidd coached O'Neal in the early years, he could let O'Neal smash a rebound when there was no timeout, and then force a timeout.

However, this statement was quickly refuted by others, because even if there was O'Neal, the situation at that time could not have been on the court, because the big sharks are estimated to have been cut to sit on the bench.

So Kidd's move can be regarded as the only feasible method.

The only pity is that Irving failed to seize the opportunity.

But even so, Kidd "made a name in one fell swoop" in the position of head coach, and fans can't wait for his eagerness.

Then the next day, Kidd received a ticket from the league...

A $50,000 excess fine!

Obviously, the attitude of the league is that it will not tolerate such deliberate loopholes in the rules. .

And although no rules have been issued to prohibit the use of such methods, the information conveyed by such excessive fines is very clear. If anyone commits another crime, it may not only be a matter of fines.

However, as soon as the ticket was issued, Owen posted a status on social media, announcing that he would pay the $50,000 ticket for Kidd.

Although Irving can be grotesque at times, he is still very good off the court.

And in the end, his free throw did cost the Cavaliers a chance to win, so there's nothing wrong with this wave of "friend payments".

Even from this, you can feel the atmosphere of the Cavaliers, which is really very good.

On the same day that the Nets and the Cavaliers finished, the tiebreaker between the Celtics and the Pacers also came to an end.

The process and results of the game are a bit unexpected.

The Pacers held off the Celtics at the start and continued until the end.

The Celtics, who have always been known for their tenacity and tenacity, had a big rout at Indiana.

After the game, the team's new coach Stevens became the target of criticism from the fans of the Green Army.

But the authorities are fascinated by the bystanders, and the bigger problem than the head coach is the vitality of the Celtics' lineup.

To use a cruel but realistic word, today's Celtics, if it wasn't for Howard, they would not necessarily be able to make the playoffs.

It is worth mentioning that Pierce's contract expires, which makes this summer even more exciting.

In this way, the Knicks' second-round opponent has finally been determined, and they will compete with the Pacers.

It can be expected that this will be a fierce confrontation.

The next day, the same day Kidd was fined, the Knicks' practice began to gain attention because it was finally time to play again.

It was at this time that the fans discovered a big thing.

James, growing a beard!

Looking at the length of the beard, it should have been grown before the start of the playoffs, so it was not obvious in the first round.

And the human beard is like this, you show your face every day, others may not necessarily feel the change, but if you haven't seen it for two days, it will suddenly become very obvious.

So after the training, some reporters asked about the beard.

After all, there was Dirk Nowitzki first, then Chandler. The Mavericks and the Nets also won the championship. James is now starting to grow a beard.

Then, James' answer in front of reporters was: You think too much.

"I've just been focusing on games and training lately and forgot to shave."

A perfect answer.

That is to deny that he is following the trend, and to highlight his image of focusing on the game.

Sometimes, you really can't find a second player who can answer better than James.

In this regard, even Lin Ying was slightly inferior.

But despite that, fans are also concerned about whether James will shave.

Because since everything has been said, James can't keep it all the time, right?

The fans over there are watching when James' beard will be shaved back. In Brooklyn, across the river, the Nets are making final preparations for the upcoming G2.

Although G1 won, the point difference was negligible, indicating that the Cavaliers were not weak.

And what Kidd said at the press conference showed that although the Cavaliers were young, they were not really young and arrogant.

Lin Ying was very involved in training, as were the rest of the Nets.

No one wants to be eliminated before they meet the Knicks.

After the training, Lin Ying went back to the locker room to take a shower, and then prepared to accompany Delong to the infirmary as usual.

As a result, I didn't expect Delong to be gone.

He thought that Deron went first, but he looked over and found that only Livingston was there.

"Deron should still be in the training hall."

Livingston knew quite a bit about Deron as a patient.

Lin Ying nodded, then went back to the training hall.

Sure enough, Deron is still practicing shooting inside.

Not just him, but Covington was there to pick up the ball for him.

Seeing Lin Ying coming, Deron stopped training and let Covington go back to the locker room first.

"I'll go back and give him a gold chain."

Deron said after sitting down.

He is a man, and he doesn't let people be in vain.

"Don't worry, the state will come when it should come, but if you worry, there may be problems."

Lin Ying nodded, but didn't pay too much attention to what Delong said, but talked about Delong's training.

He knew that Deron wanted to get back in shape as soon as possible, but he was at risk of injury, and it was not a good thing to practice too much.

"I see."

Deron nodded, but looked a little frustrated.

People who played 40+ in a single game in the finals last season have struggled so much this season. This psychological gap is indeed a bit big.

This is not a simple one-pin closure.

Sloan's control seems to have only been delayed for a while, and the problem is more of Delong's own weight and style of play.

"I think next season you can try to lose weight and adjust your style of play. You see Amare is doing fine now."

Lin Ying gave a suggestion. The reason why he did it was because there was a success story of Xiao Si.

Stoudemire is still the star of the Suns.

Deron nodded, but said nothing.

Changing the style of play is not a simple matter, and Stoudemire also struggled for a long time.

However, Delong now fully trusts Lin Ying, and he should also try to do it.

"Lin, do you think I will be able to go back?"

Lin Ying was about to say something, but Delong suddenly said in a heavy tone.

"Don't think like that, everything will be fine."

Lin Ying said and patted Delong on the shoulder.

It's just that this kind of consolation obviously didn't work, Delong gave a wry smile.

Deron's reaction is also very real. Players are defeated by injuries, most of which are not the moment of injury, but the long recovery period that follows.

Many times, there will be a voice in their head: am I still okay?

This is especially evident in people who have suffered from repeated injuries.

It is precisely because of this that the players of Livingston and George who are reborn from broken legs are more inspirational.

By the way, Livingston.

"Delong, next time you have an idea, you can talk to Sean. I think his experience in this area can definitely be your teacher."

Deron froze for a moment, then nodded.

He also had such an idea after chatting with Lin Ying for a while.

Thinking that Livingston came here like that, he really shouldn't have such thoughts.

"And really don't put too much pressure on yourself, I am there for everything."

Seeing that Delong's mood finally changed, Lin Ying smiled and patted his shoulder.

Then he said calmly but firmly,

"I said I would lead the team to defend the title, and I will definitely do it."

...

The next day, the Nets and Cavaliers' G2 continued in Brooklyn.

Because G1 played fiercely, this game also attracted the attention of more fans.

They also want to know if the Cavaliers have any chance of overthrowing the defending champs.

It is worth mentioning that the photographer before the game swept through the audience and found an unexpected figure: Rich Paul.

Paul officially became James' agent in 2012 and is now the number one talker in the James camp.

His presence at the scene of the game was quite surprising.

Although the potential opponent of the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals is still the Nets, but the investigation of opponents is done by people from their own teams, where would they need an agent to intervene.

But other than to watch the Nets, you can't seem to find a second reason for him to be there.

It can't always be directed at the Cavaliers, right?

Fortunately, the answer will be available soon, because when the two teams warmed up before the game, the reporter couldn't help but curiously interviewed this "uninvited guest".

Then, Paul gave an answer as good as James.

"Jay-Z gave me the ticket, he can't come because of something."

Reasonably explained the reason for his appearance in such a game, and also showed no purpose.

This is just a small episode before the game. After the opening ceremony, the curtain of G2 soon opened.

Neither side made any adjustments to the lineup, including rumors before the game that Kerr might make Yi Jianlian start.

However, the Nets' opening play here has an obvious adjustment.

After the game started, Lin Ying did not play with the ball as G1 did. Instead, he took the initiative to pick and roll for Delong, and then created a chance for Delong to play off-position singles.

With Lin Ying's pick-and-roll, Delong opened with an iconic mid-range shot.

This also attracted a burst of cheers from the fans.

It's not just Deron who wants to get his form back, but fans also want to see him get his form back.

After all, playing the Knicks in the back would be impossible without Deron.

However, as the game progressed, fans found that they were still thinking a little too optimistic.

Although Deron seized the first opportunity, he failed to score two consecutive attacks.

Through the enlarged picture of the large LED screen, the fans can clearly feel his frustration.

And the adjustment on the Cavaliers side is also in place. Kidd directly replaced Tristan Thompson with Shumpert in this game.

The purpose of doing so is quickly reflected in the game.

The Cavaliers have more space on the court, and Josh Smith is also ambush to the weak side, which can avoid the probability of being defended by Lin Ying when Harden breaks through.

This move is indeed effective. Although Smith has no range, his cutting speed is much faster than Thompson.

As long as Harden points the ball out, Lin Ying doesn't have time to defend.

One by one, the Cavaliers had the upper hand in the opening game.

This made the fans in the audience restless.

In two consecutive games, the Cavaliers really gave them enough threat.

It was at this time that Delong gave up the dislocation attack. After Lin Ying opened it, he took the initiative to give the ball back.

Lin Ying dislocated and singled Harden, and without waiting for the Cavaliers to attack, he turned and leaned back to the bottom line.

Harden knew that he could not interfere, and his eyes widened to deter him.

"Shh!"

Lin Ying raised his knife and fell.

And after he scored this goal, Kerr made a substitution adjustment and replaced Yi Jianlian early.

Chandler is better at protecting the paint and can restrain Harden from scoring in the paint.

That's why Kerr still starts with Chandler.

Yi Jianlian's words are more for the space on the offensive end.

However, after Yi Jianlian came on the court, Lin Ying's defense became more determined, and Yi Jianlian's defense speed was faster than Chandler's.

This adjustment also worked on the first defensive possession.

Harden scored a beautiful ball to Smith, but Yi Jianlian's help stopped. Smith's eagle shot in the sky turned into a chicken-and-egg hit, and he directly deducted it!

When he returned to the offensive end, Yi Jianlian opened up the space, and Delong turned to pick and roll for Lin Ying at this time.

Generally, the quality of pick-and-rolls for perimeter players is limited, but Deron's chubby body has a good effect after entanglement with Josh Smith.

Lin Ying also instantly activated Harden's defense, rushed inside and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

Harden can almost do what James can do, but there is one thing Harden can't do, defense.

Harden's defense is too eye-catching. Many times he knows that he can't defend, and he will even give up interference directly.

This doesn't seem to be a problem, after all, it is impossible to prevent and waste energy, and it may even lose a foul.

But for teammates, their help defense may need that.

The Nets took the opportunity to tie the score, and the morale of the team and the fans on the scene rose.

"Snapped!"

In the cheers of the fans, Yi Jianlian cut off Harden's pass to Smith!

The Nets played a fast break, and Lin Ying took the lead.

Shumpert's help defense was very fast. He led Lin Ying all the way back to the backcourt, preparing to defend against Lin Ying's fast-break layup.

Just when he was about to retreat to the backcourt and was about to do that, he saw Lin Ying in front of him suddenly... fly up!

He realized something and reached out to stop ~www.readwn.com~ but he soon discovered that the force was much greater than he had expected.

"Bang!"

In the eyes of the fans, Lin Ying quickly broke into the front court and suddenly rose from the ground, directly smashing the ball into the basket through Shumpert's defense!

The huge impact knocked Shumpert off the bottom line.

The referee's whistle followed, signaling Shumpert's defensive foul.

After landing, Lin Ying glanced at Shumpert, then reached out and made a "listening" gesture.

The Barclays Center exploded in an instant.

Delong looked up at the score on the big LED screen, 14-16.

The Nets, the momentum turned back in one fell swoop!

Lin Ying's words sounded in his ears unconsciously:

"I said I would lead the team to defend the title, and I will definitely do it."
