Chapter 395: New Weapons
Before the game even started, the Madison Square Garden arena was already full of people. Many fans who did not grab tickets gathered outside the stadium to watch the game through the large LED screen. At this time, sports TV stations such as TNT, ESPN and CBS all broadcast the game live in front of the United States. The ratings of all three TV stations have exploded, and even the Christmas War is not as hot as today's game.
One of the most incredible things in the history of the NBA happened in New York. A game that fans all over the world are looking forward to, without Kobe and James, without Howard and Garnett. Yes, just two fledgling young defenders. And these two defenders are both yellow-skinned Asians!
In January, Yiyang's super performance swept the league. With 13 wins in 15 games, countless stars have been defeated by Dallas' No. 1 guard.
In February, Lin was parachuted into New York. With Anthony out injured, D'Antoni and Jeremy Lin fit together perfectly, allowing the Knicks to play incredible.
Such a performance, no matter how gorgeous rhetoric to praise him, is not too much, even the president of the United States *** can hardly resist his magical charm. According to White House spokesman Jay Brown. Carney revealed that the super basketball fan who was preparing for the election actually used his free time on the plane to discuss with his subordinates Jeremy Lin's three-point shot against the Raptors.
"It's a great saga, and the president keeps repeating it." Carney continued, while *** is a die-hard Chicago Bulls fan, "He believes that Jeremy Lin's rise is a great story that even transcends the meaning of sports itself." ”
When two crazy storms are intertwined, they are so destructive that they threaten to blow up the entire city of New York City. But fans don't care about that, if Yiyang and Jeremy Lin can't give an explosive game, that's the biggest disrespect to them!
"I can't imagine what a crazy game it was going to be, and Jeremy and I were teammates for a brief time in Summer League, and it's said that the two had a pretty good personal relationship. But I believe that now the two people must be thinking about how to kill each other! The referee has signaled for the players from both sides to enter the field, spectators, the game is about to begin! "Mike. Brin was restless in his position, and the fans around him had already brought out the atmosphere of the big game.
On the pitch, players from both sides stepped into hardwood floors. Before entering the field, D'Antoni also patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder. You have to admit that with both small and Antony superstars, D'Antoni's results are actually not ideal. Even after a wave of forest madness, the Knicks' current record is still not very impressive 15-16. In fact, it's not because D'Antoni doesn't have a level, it's that the Knicks' management doesn't care about D'Antoni's coaching style and piles up stars indiscriminately.
Knicks management did not hesitate to send half of the team in order to get Anthony. At the time, D'Antoni was vehemently opposed to the deal, but there was no way, and Knicks management thought there should be a superstar in New York. So, Anthony came, but the Knicks were a mess instead.
Recently, however, Anthony's injury and Jeremy Lin's rise seem to have given D'Antoni the feeling he felt when he coached the Suns. Jeremy Lin was a perfect fit for his system, and the two hit it off, which created this miracle that swept the world.
Therefore, before going on the court, D'Antoni patted Jeremy Lin's shoulder very expectantly. If the Knicks' management hadn't blindly pursued superstars, maybe he would have done better by now......
Jeremy Lin listened to D'Antoni's instructions and turned to step onto the court, and suddenly the loud noise in the Madison Square Garden arena seemed to drown the entire East Coast.
Photographers on the scene all focused their lenses on Jeremy Lin's magical New York 17, and fans around the world had close-ups of Lin's face in front of their televisions.
In the other half, Yiyang was habitually pressing his legs. He'd been teammates with Jeremy Lin before, and he knew that guy had the potential to succeed. But sorry man, today in New York, I can't keep your legend going!
"The Mavericks have an extremely incomplete roster, so they can only send Frenchman Masimmi in the selection of starting center. And on the Knicks' side, Landry. Fields will start small forward in place of the injured Anthony. That said, injuries don't affect how exciting this game is. As long as Yihe Lin is present, the game will definitely not be boring! ”
Before the game began, Chandler hugged all the Mavericks players one by one. When he arrived in Yiyang, Chandler also deliberately grinned. "Today, you don't want to mess around in the three-second zone in New York!"
Yiyang didn't respond, but punched Chandler in the chest with his fist. If only Chandler and Jeremy Lin had stayed......
When Chandler returned to his assigned position, the referee, who was standing in the center circle, confirmed that both sides were ready, and threw the basketball high into the air.
At that moment, almost all the fans stood up with the basketball. Even Vignali, who was sitting in the second row, had to stand up to see what was going on on the court.
The 2.11-meter-tall Masimi naturally couldn't take advantage of anything in the scrum session, whether it was height, reach or bounce, the French was down. The basketball was transferred to Jeremy Lin by Chandler, the champion of the Mavericks last season, and this magical No. 17 guard controlled the ball unhurriedly after half the court, and Yiyang immediately pasted it, and the two sides fell into a standoff from the first second of the game!
At the beginning of the game, Shambaugh and Fields stood in the two bottom corners, one left and one right. As a result, the Mavericks' defensive formation was stretched wide, which was simply a breeding ground for Jeremy Lin to break through.
Facing Yiyang's defense and struggling to walk outside the three-point line, Jeremy Lin did not continue to advance, but waited for his teammates to settle down.
At this time, Stoudemire's blocking and dismantling was in place, and Jeremy Lin was not due to it, and suddenly started to speed!
"Jeremy started very quickly, he broke through, and he chased after Jeremy, what was the result of the first duel between the two sides?"
Jeremy Lin is very aware of Yiyang's blocking ability, and even a player of Wall's level could not escape the fate of being bloodied by Yiyang. If he rushes to the basket like this, he will definitely become the background of another nail board hat in Yiyang.
As a result, Jeremy Lin did not go to the basket after bursting to the basket, nor did he pass the ball. Instead, he slipped under the basket and ran out again!
The moment Jeremy Lin ran out from under the basket, Tyson. Chandler arrived, clasped his hands over his crotch, and made a near-perfect pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin.
Yiyang's defense was delayed, and Jeremy Lin shot to the basket again, straightened his arms and raised the basketball high, and gently picked the ball into the frame. Although Yiyang tried his best to block it, he even did not hesitate to knock Jeremy Lin to the ground. But to no avail, Jeremy Lin used what he does best to take the lead for the Knicks!
"Haha, Jeremy. Forest! He managed to score on Yi's head! As we all know, Yi's defensive skills are very rich, and even a high-impact defender like Westbrook often loses to Yi's defense. Jeremy. If Lin is simply a heads-up player, it may be difficult to score. But he used a smarter way to take advantage of his former teammates! ”
was the first to score a goal by Jeremy Lin, and Yiyang could only shake his head helplessly. Chandler's block just now was too timely, and if it weren't for that block, Jeremy Lin would have wanted to get a chance. It's hard to imagine that a guy who was covering for himself last season has now become the right hand man of the other side.
But soon, Yiyang came back to his senses. Whether it's Jeremy Lin or Chandler, they are now part of the New York Knicks. In that case, don't blame me for not remembering the old love!
Masimmi sent the baseline ball, and Yiyang leaned towards the Knicks' half court in a menacing manner. Although Jeremy Lin is not very physical, his willpower on the defensive end is no worse than Yiyang.
Yiyang slowed his pace slightly after advancing beyond the three-point line, and then looked left and right, as if to observe his teammates' movements.
Just as Jeremy Lin was vigilantly observing Yiyang, Yiyang, who was originally strolling leisurely, suddenly bowed down and kicked his calf to the ground!
"Whoosh!"
Jeremy Lin was in a trance for a second when he heard the wind blowing past his ears. Yiyang ...... from his eyes Disappeared out of thin air!?
"Oh my God, it only took one step to get Jeremy. Lin is clean! Jeremy was stunned for a moment before he finally turned around and chased after him. But it's too late, and I've already thrown off two or three positions! ”
"It's too fast, and the speed of starting is horrible. Jeremy. Lin didn't even react, he had already been broken through! ”
Although this is in New York, although this is Jeremy Lin's home turf. But just now, Yiyang's terrifying breakthrough that accelerated to the maximum value in an instant made everyone present grow their mouths. These two Asian defenders are amazing!
After Yiyang entered the inside line, Tyson. Chandler didn't think about it, and hurried to make up for the basket. He knows very well how strong Yiyang's finishing ability is in the penalty area, as long as he has the slightest delay, Yiyang will seize the opportunity to score!
Chandler knows Yiyang, and Yiyang also knows this fierce center very well. If you hit the basket directly as usual, I'm afraid you're asking for trouble. Chandler's ability to protect the rim in the box is not comparable to that of other centre-forwards.
Seeing Yiyang's one foot stepping into the three-second zone, Chandler's muscles tensed all over his body, ready to jump high at any time and fly Yiyang's layup or dunk fan out. As for Masimmi? Even if the French rookie center received Yiyang's ball, Chandler was confident that he could quickly make up for it.
However, in the next second, Yiyang's movements made Chandler's eyes widen. Yiyang had just stepped into the three-second zone, and he directly lifted the basketball and jumped!
Chandler knows that Yiyang's dunking ability is very strong, not to mention that he has just stepped into the three-second zone, even if he has just stepped on the free throw line, Yiyang may be able to complete the dunk. But now that he is standing under the basket, can't Yiyang see it? Want a dunk!? Are you kidding!
Chandler didn't think much of it, and jumped up. But Yiyang didn't share the ball, nor did he go toe-to-toe with Chandler. Instead, when his body was halfway up, he suddenly threw the ball lightly.
"What!?" Chandler stared at the basketball in amazement, watching it fall backwards as it grazed his fingertips. The "King of Fighters" landed, and the sound of the Nets rolling also sounded behind his ears.
Just now Yiyang's ...... Is it a throw!?
Also, his throw went over Chandler's defense! But to be honest Kenny, I don't think he uses a toss very much in games, does he? "Charles. Barkley also noticed that something was wrong, and that was why Chandler was surprised.
Chandler, who has been a teammate with Yiyang for a year, knows very well that Yiyang has nothing to achieve in throwing. His shooting percentage is very low, and he is not usually used in official matches, at most he is playing on the training ground.
But just now, Yiyang made a throwing move in front of him very calmly, and he entered. Could it be ......
Seeing this scene, Kidd, who was recuperating at home and watching the game on TV, smiled slightly. Don't think that I'm an old man in the team, I'm completely useless. That kid in Yiyang can learn a lot from me!
Yiyang has added a new weapon to his arsenal, and he has decided not to hide it anymore in the face of two opponents, Jeremy Lin and Chandler.
2-2, both defenders did not disappoint the fans as soon as they started. And that's just the beginning. Fierce battles are yet to come......
