"The Knicks' tactics are like this, when they attack first, the normal big four small positions start the game, and Lin asks for the ball on the left or right side." Barkley said, fiddling with the blue magnet representing the Knicks on the tactical board.

"But it's clear that the Knicks don't want to play a low-post game, because if it's a low-post game, they should give the ball to the wing player on the same side as Lin in time, and let the wing player feed Lin the ball." Barkley continued to flick the magnet.

"You can see that the situation is now that the Knicks pitcher on the left side comes out to catch the ball, and their point guard runs to the bottom corner of this side, and on the other side, Lin looks like he is going to run out to receive the ball in the high post, but pay attention, at this moment, Lin suddenly runs back and makes a cover for the pitcher on this side near the 45-degree angle! At the same time, on the left side, the point guard in the bottom corner is also covering the other person, which is a very classic two-sided cover blocking three-point tactic! Barkley said.

In other words, Lin has changed from the main point of attack to a blocker, and both sides of the Knicks do a 45-degree angle baseline reverse run cover at the same time, and throw three points to whichever side has an opportunity. But here's the problem, Charles, this tactic is not difficult to defend against as far as I know, if it is targeted. Kenny Smith said.

Barkley nodded, "Of course, there is no perfect tactic in this world, after all, no matter how good the tactics are, you will react to the opponent all the time, and the real reason for the Thunder team's continuous hits is still in Lin." ”

"Oh?" Kenny Smith looked at Barkley curiously, although he suspected that the fat man was trying to blow a wave of Lin Yi, but Barkley's explanation, sometimes there was something.

"Lin's continuous offensive play at the beginning of the fourth quarter created an illusion for the Thunder: Next, the Knicks are going to let Lin come to attack like crazy, and since you think Lin can't kill you, then I'll show you." Buckley paused and then continued: "But Kenny, the reason why the 'Jordan Rule' is famous is not because the 'Jordan Rule' can prevent Jordan from killing, but because in the case of can't be prevented, the 'Jordan Rule' is the best choice. ”

"Charles, do you mean that the Thunder's attention is drawn to Lin?" Kenny Smith said.

"That's right, the Knicks' first offense took the Thunder team by surprise, but in the second time, the Thunder team had already responded, but at this time Lin suddenly went down, we can see from the video replay, in fact, on the other side of the Knicks, Louis Williams has run out of opportunities!" Barkley asked the director to tune up the replay, and explained as he watched the replay.

"Huh! Really! Kenny Smith's eyes lit up.

"Although the ball was finished by Lin through an empty dunk, the Knicks' tactics were actually successful, and the third time we could see that there were chances on both sides of the Knicks, but Belinelli gave up that opportunity to Gallinari." Barkley said.

"I see!" Kenny Smith had an epiphany.

Because of fear, the Thunder team adopted the 'Jordan Rule' for Lin Yi;Because of fear, after Lin Yi came up to score consecutive points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brooks asked for a timeout;Because of fear, the Knicks' two-sided three-point shooting tactics became different as Lin Yi joined the blocking!

The fundamental purpose of the 'Jordan's Rule' is to let Lin Yi fight by himself, but unconsciously, these two rounds add up to more than seven quarters, and the players of the Thunder team have regarded Lin Yi as a big boss.

Lin Yi's aura is infinitely magnified, and the Thunder team can't help but pay attention to his presence when defending.

This is the fundamental reason for the success of the Knicks' flank cover tactical sneak attack!

……

During the timeout, Coach Brooks on the Thunder side hurriedly set up and arranged for his disciples.

On the Knicks' side, D'Antoni patted Belinelli on the shoulder, "Thank you, Marco." ”

Belinelli smiled and nodded, Lao De trusted him so much, he was already content.

"It's up to you for the rest of the game, Lin." D'Antoni looked at Lin Yi and said.

Lin Yi wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel, and then, it was a real knife and a real gun!

After returning from the timeout, the Knicks' lineup was dramatically adjusted to Lin Yi, David Lee, Harrington, Gallinari, and Chandler.

D'Antoni is not good at adapting on the spot, but some of Lin Yi's opinions can always poke him in the heart.

"No point guard again?" Thunder coach Brooks was dumbfounded.

That's right, it's a point-guard formation.

Lin Yi also gave this lineup a nickname: Death Five.

On the court, the heights of the five Knicks players at this time are 221 cm, 208 cm, 206 cm, 208 cm, and 203 cm.

Although the official statistics of the NBA are inaccurate, the Knicks are not far from ten in height.

"Is it the same as last time?" Thunder coach Brooks was a little confused.

Of course not.

On the court, after returning from a timeout, Gallinariga hit a free throw.

The score became 92 draws.

People are curious about what the Knicks are trying to do by constantly changing lineups in the fourth quarter.

What do you want to do?

Win, of course!

Lin Yi's attack at the beginning of the fourth quarter was to put pressure on the Thunder, which was the first step in the Knicks' comeback.

Next, the Knicks' two-sided cover tactics were to take the opportunity to sneak up on the Thunder and close the score.

When all goes well, the Thunder will certainly adjust to deal with it, and that's when the Knicks really get the hang of it.

The rotation speed of the Dead Five is not that fast.

What the Knicks have to do is simple.

On the court, when Kevin Durant saw the defender who appeared in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.

It was Lin Yi who was defending him!

"At the same time, David Lee and Harrington are in order to cope with the height of the Thunder, in fact, Lin is not playing center in this lineup, but small forward!" Mike D'Anthony said from the sidelines.

That's right!

If the Knicks want to win tonight, they must limit Durant's scoring.

And the best way to defend Durant is to let Lin Yi go one-on-one with him.

Don't you guys want to use the "Jordan's Rule"?

OK, we also use the "Durant Law"!

What is Durant's biggest strength?

It's not as fast as him, not as fast as him, and he's always able to misalign with shots and breakaways, and few people can interfere with his pull-up shots.

But Lin Yi is taller than him, and his speed is not much slower than him, and if Durant wants to pull it out directly, he will definitely need to weigh it.

"Is the Knicks crazy? Will Lin be able to play the entire fourth quarter? "Thunder coach Brooks on the sidelines is crazy.

If you want Lin Yi to attack and defend at the same time, it will definitely not work.

But if you only defend, Lin Yi can do it.

The first confrontation between Durant and Lin Yi, Durant directly wanted to get rid of it with Crossover, but found that Lin Yi actually followed.

"So fast lateral movement!" Durant felt that there was a big mountain in front of him, his offensive attempt was unsuccessful, and he was ready to call for a pick-and-roll, Lin Yi was not reluctant, and when he saw Jeff Green, who came to block and dismantle the Thunder, he directly switched defenses with the veteran Harrington.

"I see!" In the reporter area, Wu Xiaolei finally stopped biting the pen full of tooth marks.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiaolei?" Qi Jun asked curiously.

"Durant is very uncomfortable right now, because no matter who he plays with, the one who switches to him is a big man! The shortest Knicks is Chandler, and the slowest is David Lee, but Chandler has an arm span, and David Lee has been improving his ability to defend the outside since January, so that no matter who the Knicks are, they can do it Durant easily score points! Wu Xiaolei said.

"The Knicks' set of five deaths is carefully prepared for Durant! They can allow Durant to take points, but they don't allow Durant to take it too easily! Wu Xiaolei added.

Qi Jun still hadn't figured it out, but it sounded very powerful.

Of course it's amazing!

On the court, Durant forced a miss, and after the Knicks protected the rebound, as expected, it was Lin Yi who controlled the ball on the Knicks' side.

At this time, Thunder coach Brooks finally reacted in hindsight.

"I understand, they don't let Lin be the main point of attack, but instead use him to organize the attack, the physical consumption of threading the needle is far less intense than asking Lin to fight alone, in this way, his physical fitness will be guaranteed!" Brooks said with emotion.

If Lin Yi goes to play point guard, how can you make him not drive his teammates?

And you also have to pay attention to Lin Yi's defense, because this guy may be cold at any time-

On the court, perhaps he paid too much attention to the Knicks' running, and Ibaka, who was staring at Lin Yi, was careless, and Lin Yi directly stepped back and made a three-point shot.

Hmmm——!

Hollow into the net!

"He'll give you a cold arrow like this!" Brooks didn't expect that Lin Yi would be able to bring so many offensive changes and routine options to this Knicks team.

"What a headache! Russell should have been traded for the Clippers' top pick in the first place. Brooks thought with emotion.

Of course, it's not Brooks' style to just give up.

Durant's touch dropped a lot in the fourth quarter, but the Thunder had two more!

Westbrook and Harden burst out, how should the Knicks solve it?

Soon, Brooks knew the answer.
