Nowitzki is also one of Lin Yi's idols.

In the 10/11 season, in addition to the "one person, one city" and "brother basketball" dispute, people are hotly discussed, Knicks and Mavericks, who is the strongest "single-core team" in the NBA at present?

In Lin Yi's previous life, before the start of the 10/11 season in the Finals, people were generally not optimistic about the Mavericks, because many "impression streams" thought Nowitzki was too soft.

But in this finals, the "old driver" used his outstanding performance to tell the world that toughness doesn't necessarily require beating your chest, toughness doesn't necessarily need to huddle, and toughness doesn't need you to tell the world out loud how many championships I want to win.

Toughness is to keep getting up and accepting new challenges after encountering setbacks and falling again and again.

Toughness is with a love for basketball, twenty years, as always.

Nowitzki is like a captain who will never abandon ship, and he certainly deserves to be tough.

God knows what happened to the "old driver" before......

What is being hacked seven, what is being hacked eight, and what is being overturned in the finals?

What the hell is it, it's over.

can withstand the precipitation of the years, that is the iron-blooded real man.

……

On the 19th, at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks welcomed the Dallas Mavericks at home.

Lin Yi won the Dallas All-Star Game with four dunks, and Dallas can be said to be his blessed land, but the Mavericks are the difficulties he must overcome this season.

While directing the team to collect materials, Spike Lee has already sensed the strong smell of gunpowder in this game.

The Knicks see the Mavericks as their fierce rivals this season, and the Dallas people see them as their last enemies.

Mavericks coach Carlisle didn't put pressure on the team before the game, and at the end of the season, both the Knicks and the Mavericks formed an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Mavericks wants to know if their spears can pierce Knicks' shields, and what Knicks want to know is if their battle formation can withstand the Dallas cavalry charge.

Amid the cheers of nearly 20,000 Knicks fans, the starters from both sides walked to the center circle.

The Knicks' starters tonight are: Chandler, Lin Yi, Danny Green, Lance Stephenson, Billups.

The Mavericks' starters tonight are: Okafor, Nowitzki, Marion, DeSean Stevenson, Kidd.

Mavericks coach Carlisle glanced at D'Antoni, and the Knicks really pulled defensive expert Tony Allen to the bench to deal with the pile of sharp knives in the Mavericks' bench lineup.

"What does Mr. Su think of this showdown between single-core teams?" CCTV, Yu Jia asked.

"It's hard to say, the Knicks are not evenly lineed, which still has a slight impact on them, the Mavericks have also won seven consecutive games recently, and their morale is high, let's see how the Knicks adjust this time." Su Junyang said.

On the court, Okafor and Lin Yi walked to the middle circle to prepare to jump the ball, for Lin Yi, Okafor can be said to be impressed, after all, Okafor was personally sent to YouTube by Lin Yi last year......

Okafor took a deep breath as he jumped the ball, eager to prove himself again in Dallas.

But jumping ball, he can't win against Lin Yi.

The Knicks got the chance to attack first.

The Mavericks, as in the first round, used Marion to defend Lin Yi, and the team defended the area.

Knock, knock, knock!

On the field, Lin Yi began to assault!

The old hacker's soles slipped slightly, and he was squeezed behind by Lin Yi.

If the hacker was a few years younger, Lin Yi would definitely not be so relaxed, and in this breakthrough just now, Lin Yi successfully deceived Marion through two changes in rhythm and center of gravity in the dribble.

Lin Yi knows very well that he must turn on the switch of "scoring **" to beat the calf.

He had to step up and set the tone for the Knicks.

Because the Mavericks don't have their own natural enemies, this is different from the wheel battle of Bosh and James when playing the Heat.

Bang Dang——!

Lin Yi kicked off this single-core war with a gliding slam dunk.

"Marion is really old, alas, the hackers who used to be omnipotent can't get past the time level." Yu Jia said with emotion.

"The biggest advantage of the Knicks' lineup is that they are young, but the Mavericks have a lot of experience on their side, so it's hard to say who will have the last laugh." Su Junyang said.

On the court, the Mavericks quickly returned the color, Nowitzki made a wall for Kidd, and Kidd had a fleeting open shot, but after hesitating, "Kid Bu Attack" still passed back to "Old Driver".

Old driver, take me!

Hmmm——!

Nowitzki's wrist is so good, you know, "Owitzki" is not only high, his parabola is also very high, since entering the NBA, every time he witnesses Nowitzki's shot, Lin Yi feels like appreciating a work of art.

2 to 2, the Knicks attacked, Billups still handed the ball to Lin Yi and cut the offensive sector.

This time Marion defended very tightly, Lin Yi leaned on Marion and turned around directly to cut in.

Nowitzki came over to help defend him, and he was about to trap Lin Yi in the bottom corner.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi would wrap the ball behind him, and at the same time elbow with his left hand, the basketball ghost flew to Green who was waiting on the outside.

Green hit a three-pointer, 2-5!

"Don't talk about Lin Yi's elbow pass, it's really easy to use when it's critical." Yu Jia sighed.

"yes, look at Okafor's surprised expression, as if to say how did the ball go? On the other hand, Green has been getting better and better since entering January, shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range even during the Knicks' loss. Su Junyang said.

"Green's way from the water steward to the Knicks' rotation is quite inspiring." Yu Jia added.

On the court, the veteran Mavericks are not in a hurry, the Knicks know that the Mavericks have baskets on the outside, so the defense is very large, Kidd and Marion complete the connection, and the hacker cuts the ball in.

4 to 5.

"Although we can't completely limit Lin, but in the playoffs, he can't play superbly every game, and stable offense is the most critical part of playing the Knicks." Mavericks coach Carlisle thought to himself.

"If Danilo and Sean come back, and we have plenty of rotation, it's better for us to stretch the series as long as possible." Knicks coach D'Antoni analyzed.

As the two teams met in the first round, the Knicks took a temporary lead in the first quarter, and the score was 25-28 at the end of the first quarter.

Compared to the Mavericks' starters, D'Antoni focused on the Mavericks' bench.

"You can't let Dirk rest for too long, the core fights, Lin's advantage is physical fitness." D'Antoni thought to himself.

In the second quarter of the game, the Knicks replaced O'Neal, Battier, Tony Allen, Lowe and Marbury.

On the Mavericks' side, it's Masimmi, Cardinal, Brewer, Terry, and Ellis.

"Ellis's arrival...... Gave Kidd more time to rest. Lin Yi, who returned to the bench to rest, was also thinking.

The key is whether the Knicks' bench lineup can withstand the impact of the Mavericks' bench.

The Knicks will certainly adjust their rotation time in the playoffs, but in order to make Lin Yi play in the more critical second half, Lin Yi must get at least four to six minutes of rest in the first half.

Before the start of the second quarter, looking at Lin Yi, whose expression was not very relaxed, O'Neill pressed his head, "Look, the energetic shark will take you fly." ”

Lin Yi smiled, and his mood couldn't help but relax.

This is O'Neal's last season, and in retrospect, Lin Yi thinks he was the right person to invite O'Neal to the Knicks last summer.

Of course, the sharks that once looked at the world could not be as beautiful as they once were.

But what these old guys can bring is far more than the data can show.

Shaq, in these last dozens of games, go kill him and leave no piece of armor behind!
