This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 438: Brooklyn's "Boys"

...

118 to 106.

The Nets led the Knicks by as much as 12 points in the second quarter, and they ended up winning by 12.

Statistics after the game, the Knicks, the Big Three played very stable.

Especially James, who contributed 41 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, almost a 40+ triple-double.

In the words of McGrady's commentary, James made this year's MVP result more controversial.

On the Nets side, Lin Ying only scored 23 points and only made 13 shots in total.

If it wasn't for winning the game, I'd be sprayed after this game.

However, in addition to his 23 points, he also had 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. .

And more importantly, the rest of the Nets played really well tonight.

Delong rebounded from the bottom, contributing a team-high 30 points and 9 assists.

Granger also played the role of the Raiders, contributing 14 points in the second quarter and 20 points in the whole game.

And more important than scoring is his spatial role, which the data can't reflect.

After the game, Granger joined the press conference.

He scored 14 points in a single quarter and dunked James, which also made him the focus of questions from reporters at the press conference.

By the end of the press conference, Granger had just entered the locker room and was also "drenched" by his teammates to celebrate.

"Nets!"

"Defending the title!"

At the end, the players raised their hands together and shouted the season slogan.

This game means a lot to the Nets.

Because of Deron's sluggish state, the Knicks have better overall strength, and the Nets are at a disadvantage in the series.

But tonight's game, the Nets not only won the victory, but also won back the confidence.

They are the defending champions!

After going crazy in the locker room, Lin Ying first accompanied Delong to the infirmary, and then went to the training hall.

He didn't attack much in this game, and it's no exaggeration to say that he didn't even sweat much.

He has to use training to find out the state of the game, or he will have to drag his feet in the next game.

Halfway through the practice, Granger came.

Granger didn't interrupt his training and sat on the sidelines.

After a round of practice, Lin Ying picked up a towel and wiped it, and chatted with Granger.

"thank you."

After chatting, Granger opened his mouth to thank Lin Ying.

"This game is too important to me, thank you for the trust you gave me, that also gave me the courage to jump up again in front of LeBron."

In the doubtful gaze cast by Lin Ying, he also added.

Not all role players get a lot of shots when they feel good, although that sounds reasonable.

In fact, most of the time it is just the opposite. The role players feel good and pull out the space, but star players will choose to attack the basket more often.

The closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score.

"Danny, don't thank me, that's what you won. If someone else feels good, I'll do the same."

Lin Ying didn't say anything polite, because it seemed too fake.

"And, I don't want you to be content with a game like this, you need to do more, we're going to beat LeBron together, don't we?"

Lin Ying continued.

Granger stared blankly at Lin Ying for a while, then nodded firmly with a firm gaze.

...

On the second day after the New York Derby, the curtain of the Western Finals officially opened.

The result of the game was unexpected.

The Spurs beat the Thunder 112-77 at home.

The Spurs didn't have an easy first two rounds, but that further accelerated their chemistry.

Their hit rate in the first three quarters of G1 was as high as 60%, and the Thunder team lost their armor and discarded their armor.

It is worth mentioning that Danny Green made 7 of 10 three-pointers in three quarters, and everyone in the Thunder shot the scalp tingling.

In the face of the Spurs' efficient attack, the Thunder's defensive counterattack was unable to fight, and the Spurs could only be dragged into a positional battle.

The Spurs also showed their defensive skills in positional warfare. Pinching and assisting defense made the Thunder even more struggling.

In the whole game, Durant made only 6 of 16 shots, and Westbrook made 7 of 24 shots.

And what is more struggling than the statistics is the game scene. Durant's attack is still timely, but Westbrook's perimeter is empty and he can't make a goal.

As for Westbrook, he hit the back and directly sent the ball to Parker in the face of a pinch attack, directly entertaining Popovich.

After the game, Lin Ying also received a call from Durant.

"You are right."

Durant regretted not listening to Lin Ying's words when he opened his mouth.

"Kevin, you still have a chance, and they won't be so accurate all the time."

Lin Ying spoke to comfort Durant.

When Green made seven 3-pointers, let alone the Thunder, the Nets and Knicks couldn't beat it either.

As long as the Spurs shot down and the Thunder counterattacked, the situation would be different.

At that time, the fans sighed, maybe the Spurs were really old and couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Thunder's game.

Moreover, this is only G1!

After finishing the phone call with Durant, Lin Ying asked Su Feng to bring the video of the Western Conference finals.

In fact, he was also curious, how could this Thunder team be so much stronger than the same period in history and still be beaten like this.

After watching the video, he fell silent.

The Spurs' offense is a bit outrageous!

In fact, Popovich's hammer tactics are eight points similar to Sloan's pick-and-roll tactics.

Popovich once said in public that Sloan was his idol, but he wasn't talking about it.

I didn't take a teacher, but I stole a teacher.

As far as this tactic itself is concerned, it also relies heavily on the pick-and-roll cooperation between the 1 and 5 positions.

The Nets were Delong/Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian before the pick-and-roll, while the Spurs were Parker/Manu Ginobili and Duncan.

The difference is that Popovich has improved the tactical position of the shooter,

In many possessions, the pick-and-roll of Parker/Manu Ginobili and Duncan is the support, and the three-pointer of Green/Leonard is the end point.

But if you shift your defense to shooters, the Parker and Duncan pick-and-rolls will cost you again.

It used to be said that when the pick-and-roll is used, the defender chooses one cup with twice the poison. This is the choice between the pick-and-roll and the shooter.

This choice is obviously more difficult.

And that's not even counting Leonard's entry into the top-tier one-man defense.

The right players, the perfect understanding, and the right tactics make this Spurs.

strong,

Also, it cannot be replicated.

Lin Ying unconsciously substitutes the Nets as the opposite of the Spurs.

He felt more pressure than playing the Knicks.

It's a completely different feeling than facing the Spurs in the West.

This Spurs team is really underrated.

In history, the Big Three of the Heat lost to them and did not complete the dynasty, and the loss was not wrong.

Lin Ying thought and finally shook his head.

Like what he said earlier, Green can't make seven 3-pointers every night.

The key is still the rhythm of the game. This tactic is strong in positional battles, but it is only strong in positional battles.

...

The two favored teams in the East and West both lost in G1, but there are 7 games in the series, and it is too early to draw conclusions at this time.

The Nets and Knicks' G2 also continued a day later at Madison Square Garden.

In this game, the Knicks played super high quality on both ends of the offense and defense.

Of course, the Nets are not bad here.

The only difference is that Deron and Granger are obviously not as good as G1.

It's not that they have ups and downs, it's that Riley is enough to target.

Riley arranged for James to mark Deron all over the court, and Deron had limited space to play.

As for Granger, as long as he's on the court, the Knicks grab him and play.

Whether it can become a breakthrough is one thing, and the more important thing is to consume Granger.

Granger's footsteps are slow after a serious injury, and he needs to put in a lot of physical strength to defend against people.

And he's a shooter now, so naturally he won't be able to make a shot after he consumes too much physical energy.

Therefore, the Nets rely more on Lin Ying in this game.

Lin Ying's status is online, but his two fists are a little hard to beat with four hands.

In the end, the Knicks regained a city by 106 to 99 with their overall strength.

Lin Yingkong scored 41 points.

With the same score difference as James in G1, this wave is considered a feng shui turn.

The big 1-1 score isn't the best, but it's not bad.

Because 4 wins in 7 games into 3 wins in 5 games, the Nets have grabbed home-court advantage from the Knicks.

And after returning to Brooklyn, they also ushered in another good news.

Carl is back.

A chemotherapy cycle takes 3 to 7 days, but there will be an interval of nearly a month in between.

Of course Karl couldn't wait for the course to finish, and couldn't wait to return after getting used to the side effects of chemotherapy.

After all, this is a closer chance to a championship than it was in Denver.

Moreover, Kerr also fell behind in the game against Riley, and the team needed him at this time.

Karl's return has boosted the Nets' morale.

Lin Ying looked at her teacher, feeling a little sad and wanting to laugh.

Carl was originally bald forehead, but now because of chemotherapy, he has become bald.

A man's hair is comparable to life, and at this age, it may be more important than life.

But this bald head looks very happy.

Carl is back from training session.

And he wasn't alone, and Sloan was with him.

Sloan didn't spend much time in Brooklyn after becoming a team consultant, spending at least half his time in Utah.

Consultancy is a part-time job, and Utah is Sloan's second home.

But at this critical moment, Sloan also came back.

Carl, Sloan, McMillan, Cole.

Before the change, it was really hard to imagine that these people were on the same team.

This coaching staff is no longer luxurious.

Several people gathered around, discussing how to play the next two home games.

...

"Ah!"

Across the river, in Manhattan, Riley, who was taking a nap, sneezed violently.

...

G3 of the Eastern Conference finals is about to start, and the basketball atmosphere in Brooklyn is also continuing to ferment.

The next two home games are decisive for the Nets, and the fans have shown plenty of enthusiasm.

Swift also made an effort at this time. She updated the news on social media, announcing that she would give away 20 self-signed CDs in the midfield of G3.

This wave directly led the attention of the New York Derby from the fan circle to the fan circle.

When Lin Ying broke the circle in China, Swift helped the Nets break the circle in the world.

Since Swift and Lin Ying established a relationship, Swift has become a free foreign aid for the Nets.

Back then, the free VIP seats in Brooklyn were a steal.

During the training session on game day, Karl announced G3's game strategy.

This strategy is quite special.

Although Lin Ying thought it was reasonable after hearing it, it was still surprising.

And he can clearly feel that this was discussed by the four coaches yesterday.

Because he saw the shadow of Sloan and Cole from inside.

G3 will be very interesting.

...

On the night of the game, the Barclays Center was full, and the fans were enthusiastic.

According to media reports before the game, because of a series of warm-up activities, the average ticket price of this game has been more than doubled by scalpers, and it is hard to find a ticket.

And because one ticket is so hard to get, how can the fans who enter the stadium hide their enthusiasm.

During the warm-up before the game, the fans cheered from time to time.

It's a pity that Kobe is currently undergoing personal training in Los Angeles. Otherwise, when he sees this scene, he will know that what he said has come true.

Brooklyn basketball nation, has been formed!

Before the opening ceremony, the MVP award ceremony was also held on the spot.

Lin Ying chose to collect the trophy in the home game.

Stern came to the scene of the game, in high spirits.

Although he has not officially retired, most of the work in the league has been handed over to Tatum.

He is now enjoying his last leisure time as the league president.

The heavy burden on the shoulders was lifted at once, and the body and mind were relaxed.

After handing the MVP trophy to Lin Ying, Stern also hugged Lin Ying for a long time~www.readwn.com~ how much, a little reluctant to give up.

Although Lin Ying's ability and influence are not as good as Jordan's, his role in promoting the NBA is also huge.

It can be said that Jordan raised the NBA to its current influence in North America on the shoulders of his predecessors, while Lin Ying played a similar role in the promotion of NBA globalization.

"David, we'll meet again in the finals."

Lin Ying sensed Stern's mood and said with a smile.

Stern was stunned for a moment before he could react, and then patted Lin Ying on the shoulder with a laugh.

After the MVP award ceremony, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released.

Neither team made any changes to their starting lineups.

Just after the opening ceremony, the on-site photographer deliberately gave the Nets a shot of the bench.

This shot is not for the players, but for the coach.

The scene suddenly burst into cheers.

Because a familiar figure appeared on the bench.

Sloan!

Sloan not only participated in team training, tactical discussions, but also in G3 games!

This made the fans feel very excited.

After all, Sloan was the man who brought the Nets their first championship trophy.

And it's not just Sloan.

Sloan, Karl, McMillan, Cole.

Three famous coaches, plus Kerr who just proved himself in the last round of the series.

The Nets' coaching bench is unparalleled in its starlight, it is clearly the Brooklyn men's team!
