Chapter 097: Who Said Iron Will Relies on Jump Shots?
The Hawks still had the advantage, and with 5:37 left in the first quarter, the Knicks called the first timeout, and the score was 12-15, with the Knicks trailing by three points.
After this substitution, D'Antoni replaced Lin Yi, which attracted a boo from the Knicks fans at the scene.
The young Knicks fan who came to watch Lin Yi's training game shouted angrily: "We want to see Lin!" We're going to see Lin! β
D'Antoni's head suddenly had three black lines, it's terrible, Lin Yi's popularity is already so terrible before the regular season starts, and it will be enough to wait for the new season to officially start?
However, D'Antoni did not let the New York fans get his wish, because he wanted to test the effect of letting Lin Yi come to the bench lineup, Lin Yi did not score points in the first quarter, contributed 3 rebounds and 4 assists, Lin Yi himself also collected his strength, Al Horford is a good center after all, with his current level to play hard will only reduce his efficiency.
As a witty and combative basketball player, Lin Yi knows that brutality and iron-blooded blood do not have to be achieved by hard work.
And the assist is also data, you must know that Lin Yi's fancy dribbling and fancy passing on the court are enough to make the fans scream for him.
To put it bluntly, such an action can make fans happy even if it is played by the core defender, let alone Lin Yi, a "center forward" with a height of 221 cm?
After Lin Yi went down, Al Horford felt more relaxed, yes, he finally didn't have to guard against that damn blockade anymore.
Defending and being willing to defend are two different things, Horford, as an excellent interior player with excellent lateral movement, is naturally able to defend himself, but this does not mean that he is willing to defend like this every round, after all, the weight of big men makes their physical consumption different from that of guards.
The Hawks gradually dominated the court, and they showed their strength as a playoff powerhouse, with the Knicks struggling to support themselves on three-pointers, and Gallinari hitting two in a row from the outside to open his three-point account tonight.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks had a nine-point lead, 22-31.
In the second quarter, to the cheers of Knicks fans, New York's new Magic Lin Yi once again put on the field, bringing power forward Jalaid Jeffries, small forward Wilson Chandler, shooting guard Larry Hughes and point guard Tony Douglas on the court.
On the Hawks' side, the opening five of the second quarter were center Zhazapachulia, power forward Joe Smith, small forward Morris Evans, shooting guard Jamal Crawford and point guard Jeff Teague.
Teague is also a rookie in the class of '09, and he said hello to Lin Yi, the "leader of the rookie group in the class of '09", before going on the court.
Seeing the Hawks' lineup, Lin Yi knew that he was brushing the data, oh no, his chance to attack had arrived.
Power forward Joe Smith is the top pick in 95, a battle-hardened veteran with a lot of experience, but the lateral movement is very slow, not to mention Zazapachulia, the ultimate floor flow, Lin Yi just needs to be careful not to be stepped on by Pachulia.
The only bad thing about this Knicks is that the bench guard line is too bad, Larry Hughes, a blacksmith, is no longer on the basketball court, and Tony Douglas is quite accurate, but he doesn't have any independent offensive ability.
Lin Yi touched Wilson Chandler's head, "Rush up when you have a chance, I'll give you the rebound." β
Wilson Chandler nodded, Lin Yi is the core of this bench lineup, and Chandler has received a lot of assists from Lin Yi in his usual training.
In the second quarter, the Hawks served, and Hawks guard Jamal Crawford came up with his signature dribble behind his back and pulled out his hand, but unfortunately the ball did not go in, and Lin Yi once again liked to brush up a rebound.
The Eagles' retreat was very fast, Wilson Chandler failed to run out of the opportunity, Lin Yi put away the basketball and strode forward to dribble.
Tony Douglas didn't ask for the ball either, and ran towards the front court.
Zazapachulia knew that Lin Yi could shoot three points, and he didn't dare to retreat too deep, he was waiting for Lin Yi near the top arc, and just when he was about to elbow to block Lin Yi, Lin Yi directly changed hands and dribbled a large crossover, sample, I know you are dirty, but I also know that you are very slow.
Lin Yi's Crossover has a faint shadow of Penny Hardaway, with a large amplitude and chic movements, both dribbling and body development are very comfortable, Hawks center Zazapachulia was caught off guard, and he leaned back and fell backwards after losing his center of gravity.
Lin Yi lowered his center of gravity and quickly entered the inside, and the players of the Hawks hesitated, because Lin Yi passed too much in the first quarter, so they naturally thought that Lin Yi would also pass the ball.
That's the unique benefit of playing!
Lin Yi flew up, and the first two steps of the free throw line were directly deducted!
People are in the air, Lin Yi can see that the gliding distance is enough, the height is also okay, and he also plays with no one to interfere, a big windmill with arms!
The Eagles' basket clicked, and Lin Yi pulled it on the basket before landing, which played a cushioning effect when he landed, and at the same time gave people a feeling that this young man was very violent.
Sometimes, iron blood doesn't have to rely on jump shots!
For example, Lin Yi's dunk left people with the impression that this young man was very brutal.
"Oh! Oh my God, brutal! It's brutal! Zazapachulia is going to become a background board now, and the center is shaken down by the center, which I don't see much! Barkley quipped.
"Lin's dribbling is still as good as ever, and Pachulia's defensive style is too reckless!" Kenny Smith said.
Chinese fans, who also watched the game, were stunned.
Can basketball still be played like this?
"! Van Gundy is simply a sinner, pull it out and whip the corpse, and return my elegant Da Yao! β
"The center can dribble, and the offense is not troublesome! Lin Yi is mighty!! β
"It's just two sizes bigger Magic, oh my God, I'm officially announcing now that I'm actually a Knicks fan for thirty years!"
"This crossover is too gorgeous, too stylish, Lin Yi, I'm going to give you a monkey!"
Chinese fans are frantically scrolling through posts on major forums.
American fans were equally shocked.
The Knicks fans at the scene really wanted to hug the team's uniform group and kiss it, and the summer trade with the Clippers was too right! That's right!
Isaiah Thomas, sitting next to General Manager Donny Walsh and Deputy General Manager Javier Stanford, looked dead.
Because the better the Knicks play now, the more stupid his actions will be!
Man, stupid isn't scary, I'm afraid you're as stubborn as Scott!
Isaiah Thomas and Scott are in some ways a kind of human being, and that is, always naΓ―ve to think that they are right.
Hawks head coach Woodson frowned, he glanced at Al Horford on the bench, Horford quickly avoided the coach's gaze, Horford hadn't rested enough, don't want to trick him into going up to defend Lin Yi.
Woodson also knew that this was just a preseason game, and the Hawks were mainly scouting players, not a time to care about the wins and losses of the first round, so he dismissed the idea of substitution.
On the field, the Eagles completed the cooperation.
Jamal Crawford sometimes had a good ball or two when he had a convulsion, and after a brilliant behind-the-back dribble, Crawford broke past Douglas and found Zazapaculia with a clever pass.
Pachulia wanted to return Lin Yi to one, but unfortunately he couldn't jump no matter how he jumped, so he prepared to play a small board and prepare to score two points steadily.
However, at this moment, Lin Yi appeared!
In order to accumulate offensive physical fitness, Lin Yi drew a circle on the spot when he defended, and he didn't go out even if he was killed, but he didn't expect that being lazy could get a chance to make up for the defensive show, Lin Yi would not be polite to Pachulya, he saw the opportunity and jumped high!
At this moment, he showed amazing speed, he was too tall, and that arm span, too frustrating!
Lin Yi, who jumped into the air, grabbed it directly with his right hand in the air!
A brutal grapple!
Fans, commentators, players and coaches of both teams are still in shock, on the court, Lin Yi dribbled the ball to launch a fast attack, and after half court he passed the ball to Wilson Chandler, who was already on the verge of going down, Chandler originally wanted to show off the operation by himself, but after seeing that Lin Yi had followed up quickly, he hit the ball on the rebound.
Hit the board empty!
Bang dang!
It's brutal!
It's bloody!
The counterattack after grabbing the hat hit the board and caught both hands violently!
Lin Yi's ball ignited Madison Square Garden, and the entire arena suddenly boiled like boiling water!
Who said that brutality must rely on iron-blooded jumpers?
Lin Yida became interested, hammered his chest with his right hand, and Chandler and Douglas stepped forward to bump their chests with him in celebration.
The Eagles are going to take a timeout.
The entire basketball stadium resounded with cheers of Lin, Lin, Lin.
"It's brutal! It was definitely an impressive night for Zazapachulia. Barkley said.
Kenny Smith nodded, "It's a pity that it's not the regular season, if it's the regular season, Lin can't say that he wants to win the top five today." β
"There are also five good goals in the preseason, but unfortunately, if it is in the regular season, it is more golden." Barkley added.
On the court, the players in New York were celebrating with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi didn't realize that a seed of resentment had been planted in someone's heart.
Shaken down, grabbed hats, and become a backdrop.
Pachulia was so uncomfortable with the humiliation and humiliation that he clenched his fists and clicked his teeth up and down.
