Chapter 0133: The Long-Lost Stunt (Group Photo)
"The Knicks actually called a timeout first." Kenny Smith said.
"It's normal, Lin's performance in this game is obviously limited, D'Antoni is not Phil Jackson, and he can never call a timeout." Barkley complained.
On the court, the Lakers' cheerleading beauties finished their performances, and the players of both teams returned to the court.
The "Zen Master" glanced at Lao De, he didn't think D'Antoni would be able to find a way to break the Lakers' defense in such a short period of time.
Although this Lakers team is more dying, once they defend seriously, they definitely have the top three defensive standards in the league.
After a timeout, the Knicks attacked, and it was as if something terrible had suddenly been discovered.
"Lin went to a low position?" Kenny Smith remembers that the last time Lin Yi went to the low post was when they played the Heat in their first game of the regular season.
But Artest is not Joel Anthony and Haslem, and the Lakers' interior has Bynum and Gasol who can be defended at any time, and the Lakers' interior is not the Heat!
"We seem to have forgotten that Lin is a center forward on the field." Barkley laughed.
On the field, Lin Yi asked for the ball in a low position, Artest withstood him, Artest did not choose to go around the front this time, because Lin Yi's height is too high, and the probability of being hung around the front is too great, Artest's current bounce has declined seriously, but Atai's strength is good, even if Lin Yi wants to turn over and jump shot, Artai has a way to make Lin Yi uncomfortable.
The Knicks slowed down their offensive tempo, low-post tactics, and the Knicks actually used low-post tactics?
The "second battalion commander" Gallinari on the wing gave the ball to Lin Yi, Lin Yi calmly received the ball, although the "Zen master" in front of the Lakers bench didn't know what the Knicks wanted to do, but I have to say that Lin Yi's basic skills are really good.
In the VIP seat on the sidelines of Staples Stadium, "actor" Jack Nicholson was drinking a drink and talking and laughing with his female companion on the side, at this moment, Nicholson was suddenly stunned, and the drink slowly slid down the corner of his mouth, he didn't even notice it......
On the court, facing Artest's defense, Lin Yi's body suddenly obliquely sideways, his right hand grabbed the ball with one hand, and while his body was far away from Artest, his right arm was raised above his head, waving his palm, and his fingertips were gently sent......
Hmmm——!
"Oh! Oh my God! Kenny Smith let out an exclamation.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a standard skyhook!" Barkley shook his head and said.
Skyhook!
Skyhook reappears in Staples!
Almost all the Lakers fans let out a groan!
Some older Lakers fans are all too familiar with this move, because this is the trick of the former Lakers legend and NBA's all-time scoring champion - Skyhook Abdul-Jabbar!
How can it be?
Whether it is a fan or an expert, I can't believe my eyes at this moment, because the main reason why some of the NBA's tricks will be lost is that it is difficult to practice.
This move not only requires an arm span, but also a soft feel, for most interior players, since the practicality of the sky hook is not as good as the turnover jumper, why bother to practice the sky hook?
But none of this is a problem for Lin Yi, his size is close to Abdul-Jabbar, his hand is soft, and as an "all-pro", this move has always been in his arsenal.
It's just that generally speaking, Lin Yi rarely uses this trick.
How many of the inside lines he faced before could be faster than him? Generally, he can play with his flexible feet, and there is a more efficient way to score, Lin Yi threw this trick into his arsenal, and he usually takes it out for practice, but he hasn't used it in NBA games.
The last time Lin Yi used the Sky Hook was in his NCAA era, and NBA teams don't go into a weapon that you haven't used in a long time.
And the reason why Lin Yi decided to come up with this move tonight is also very simple, Artest will push his knee against his calf when he tops people, so that Lin Yi can't easily exert force, so that the turnover jumper in the back hit will be greatly disturbed.
In Lin Yi's memory, when the Rockets and Mavericks PK in the Imperial City, Maddie defended Nowitzki like this, and the result was not bad, and Hayes, the Rockets' defensive expert, also used this trick to defend a lot of interior lines very uncomfortable.
In the case that the turn-over jumper will be interfered with, the most inexplicable point of Tiangou is highlighted: the height of 221 cm with Lin Yi's arm span, this trick Lin Yi uses is similar to Abdul-Jabbar, that is, it is all based on his own feel!
At the timeout, Lin Yi, who was blocked from attacking head-on, gave D'Antoni a suggestion, that is, in addition to grasping the transition attack, once he landed the position, he played a low-post tactic.
Artest's death entanglement to the low post didn't work so well, because this is the world of the center.
Lin Yi felt good tonight.
Wake up, I'm a big center!
In the next few rounds, people confirmed that Lin Yi's heavenly hook just now was no accident.
Because he hit three times in four hooks!
The Lakers changed their defensive strategy in time, and once Lin Yi went to the low post to ask for the ball, they decisively attacked him.
Before Lin Yi got off the break in the first quarter, Lin Yi also staged a performance that was enough to be selected as one of the top five balls: Lin Yi was taking the ball in the low position at the time, and Gasol made up for it as soon as possible, at this time Lin Yi seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and threw the ball back of his head with both hands.
"The Knicks' offense has been revitalized, and Lin's pass is really imaginative." Kenny Smith said.
"It seems that the Lakers have to find a way, Lin has a very good hand tonight, and he has opened our eyes again tonight, this hand hook recreates Staples and this dashing pass in the back of the head, which should become the focus of the media after the game." Barkley said with emotion.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Lakers by one point, 30-29.
Lin Yi scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, with amazing efficiency.
Lin Yi will not always use the sky hook, this kind of skill of fighting character, if you fight it, you will earn, Lin Yi will rest four minutes early in the first quarter, in order to bring the second lineup.
This trick doesn't consume physical strength, and it's worth gambling with a good feel, and the Knicks will need some luck to steal the victory from the City of Angels tonight.
Lin Yi has a good character, and his first-hand hook shows off the scalp of Staples' Lakers fans.
In the second quarter, Phil Jackson really made a targeted arrangement, Gasol, Wharton, Odom, Vujasic, and Famar came on the court together, and Phil Jackson rested Gasol four minutes early in the first quarter, in order to also target the Knicks' bench lineup.
The Lakers want to ensure their defensive rotation speed, obviously not wanting Lin Yi to have fun.
Phil Jackson's lineup is commendable, but people can't help but curse when they see the New York Knicks' lineup in the second quarter.
Milicic, Jeffries, Gallinari, Chandler, Linyi!
Three inside lines?
it!
Wait, who's going to play point guard?
Don't?
Lakers' backup point guard Farmar looked at Lin Yi standing in front of him......
"Huh?"
Crazy!
Isn't Nix crazy?
Use Lin Yi to play point guard?
And use him to keep an eye on Famar?
Just when people were suffocating the dirty words back into their stomachs, on the court, Farmar broke through with the dribble, and Farmar was blocked - a chase cap from Lin Yi!
Cut!
Lin Yi is a man who has singled out Curry for tens of thousands of rounds, and Lin Yi is not afraid of a breakthrough like Farmar who goes straight and doesn't even bring a change of direction at all, looking at Farmar who slipped past him, Lin Yi is waiting for him to come to a chase hat at the moment of his layup!
It was the Knicks' turn to attack, and when they saw Lin Yi dribbling through the half court unhurriedly, the Lakers players were a little confused.
Because Lin Yi is indeed the Knicks' "point guard" in the second quarter! ”
How can this be prevented?
"It's ......" Kenny Smith felt he had a lot to say, but he was momentarily speechless.
"The Knicks really prepared a big move!" A 221 cm point guard? How does Barkley feel like he's reading a novel?
Bah! If anyone dares to write such a novel, Barkley is definitely a backhand and an alliance leader!
At least five monthly passes plus full booking!
