NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

The two inside players starting for the Nets, whether it is Kostic or Yao Ming, their speed is definitely enough to be called a Crouching Dragon and a Phoenix Chick!
Yao Ming does appear more flexible because he did not gain excessive weight, but that depends on who he is compared with!
If you compare him with the 37-year-old O'Neal or other heavy centers, he is very flexible.

But can he be compared with Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire, and O'Neal?

He is still as slow as a turtle!
As for Kostic? His speed is only slower than Yao Ming's!
When these two slow-moving guys faced Lin Tian's unlimited pick-and-roll and mismatched one-on-ones, they really couldn't give any response.

The only thing they could hope for was that Bibi would try his best and think of a way to see if he could squeeze in front of the screen every time and keep up with Lin Tian without switching defense.

Things like squeezing through screens are something that the extremely experienced Bibby can do. He can predict the timing of the opponent's big players coming forward, and then make judgments in advance and give the correct defensive response.

But the problem is that the person standing in front of him is not Kidd, so it doesn't mean that Bibby can defend Lin Tian by squeezing through the screen!

Squeezing through the cover is just the beginning!
Next, Lin Tian can call for another screen, turn around on the spot and do another one with Okur and Stoudemire, or he can launch a strong attack directly against Bibby!
In short, Lin Tian has many ways to deal with things, and there are so many weapons in his arsenal that he can’t use them all!

Faced with Lin Tian's behavior of wreaking havoc on the court and completely exposing the team's overall defense with just one cover, Frank had no choice but to do nothing. He didn't know how to deal with Lin Tian.

What if he has to figure it out?
He could only call Bibby over, and then whispered to him from the other side: "Come on, Mike! I'm rooting for you!"

Well, verbal encouragement was the best he could come up with.

Otherwise, how to defend? If Frank knew how to defend, if he could find Lin Tian's weakness to target him, then he wouldn't be standing here stupidly.

He had killed Lin Tian a long time ago!

As for the encouragement from his head coach, teammates and others, Bibby had some very mysterious feelings.

He felt like he was Benboerba, who was ordered by the king: You, go and capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples! As long as Tang Sanzang is alive, the other three don't care if they live or die.

Hmm...Bibi probably hasn't read Journey to the West.

So he should be Orc A, who was ordered by Sauron: You, go alone to capture Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Kingbolt and bring back the Lord of the Rings. It doesn't matter if these people live or die. It's easy, right?

Easy? I'm easy, you uncle!
In short, Bibby had a very painful fight!
He couldn't resist, but everyone expected him to complete the resistance.

In order to squeeze through that damn screen, Bibby not only expended a huge amount of physical energy, but also committed a foul!
After only 7 minutes of the first quarter, he was called for fouls twice by the referee because of his excessive movements when squeezing the screen!

Even though he paid the price of two fouls and had to leave the court early to rest, Bibby did not hold Lin Tian down at all.

In these 7 minutes, Lin Tian not only made 7 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 three-pointers to score 2 points, but also made 12 assists, finding Stoudemire and O'Neal respectively, assisting the two to score easily.

No matter how the Nets defend, Lin Tian can easily break it!

He easily broke through the Nets' defense!

In other words, the Nets were in excellent form at the beginning of the game. Yao Ming and Kostic continued to score points, and Carter also broke through several times and got into the inside to help the team score points.

So the Nets are not too far behind.

As the game progressed, the Nets obviously accepted the fact that they could not defend Lin Tian's pick-and-roll and outside shooting, and they no longer worked on it.

Shrink! The whole team shrinks defense!
They began to strictly guard against air cuts and attacks under the basket. Their entire team began to shrink, paying attention to positioning and protecting rebounds.

As for Lin Tian and O'Neal's three-point shooting, they could only accept their fate.

Bet you can't keep going in tonight!

As long as you don't score, I just need to protect the rebounds and I can launch another attack steadily!
At the same time, the Nets also increased their offense and rushing under the basket. With two tall players, Yao Ming and Kostic, on the court, plus the impact of Prince and Carter, they really grabbed a lot of frontcourt rebounds!
Kenny analyzed: "The Nets strengthened their competitiveness tonight in a way that none of us expected! They gave up on defending fast breaks, didn't try to stop the Knicks' first pass and fast breaks, and instead chose to rush for rebounds."

"They used their height advantage to successfully keep the score close! I think we all underestimated Coach Frank. He has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Barkley continued, "But the Nets' style of play is also very risky! Their movement speed is not an advantage to begin with, and now they are going all out to attack the frontcourt rebounds without retreating. Once the Knicks find a way, they will probably be defeated in one wave!"

"But the Nets have no choice, right? They obviously can't defend Lin's pick-and-roll at all. Since they can't curb the opponent's advantage, they have to find a way to play to their own advantage!"

The game on the court was proceeding at a fast pace, and it had to be said that the Nets' strategy tonight was quite successful!

This successful strategy allowed them to trail the Knicks by only 4 points with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter!
Even though Lin Tian was in excellent form tonight, having already scored a triple-double of 41 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds, even though O'Neal made 3 of 4 three-pointers, and even though Stoudemire relied on his impact to penetrate the Nets' defense after the pick-and-roll, he still scored 3 points!

But the Nets held on!
They relied on their own 59 rebounds that night, which was 24 more than the Knicks!
They grabbed 21 offensive rebounds alone, 14 more than the Knicks!
The Nets' dominance in rebounding gave them hope of victory in the last four minutes of the game.

At this point in the game, Yao Ming has played for 40 minutes and got a big double-double of 23 points and 19 rebounds. His partner Kostic also had 11 points and 15 rebounds!

The 34 rebounds grabbed by these two people together are the Nets' biggest trick to keep the game suspenseful!
"Brother Lin, haven't you heard this? Whoever controls the rebounds can control the game!" Yao Ming looked at Lin Tian breathlessly and started trash-talking him.

The timeout had just ended and both sides returned to the court, but even though it was a timeout, looking at Yao Ming's expression, one timeout was obviously not enough to help him recover his strength.

He needs at least three to catch his breath.

"You think I haven't watched Slam Dunk? Patrick Ewing's famous quote!" Lin Tian snorted, "But did Ewing tell you that when you reach your physical limit, you won't be able to catch any rebounds?"

"I think you'd better go down and rest for a while, otherwise you might not be able to stand up in the next game."

"Then you can't stand up! Fight for this game, and it's okay to give up in the next game!" Yao Ming was as tough as ever and was not affected by Lin Tian's trash talk at all.

Lin Tian snorted and said, "Come on then! Let me see how strong your rebounds are!"

Just at this time, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game. Anthony passed the ball from the sideline, and Bibby stood directly inside the three-point line, almost standing on the three-point line to defend Lin Tian.

The Nets' strategy has not changed, they still block the basket and allow 3 points!
They give Lin Tian the chance to shoot. If you can make 3-4 shots in a row and kill us, we will accept it!

Anyway, for us, the Nets, we will just take it slow and score 2 points at a time tonight!

When Lin Tian got the basketball, the fans in the stadium started roaring again to cheer for the team. This time, Lin Tian did not call for a pick-and-roll, but asked everyone to move away from him.

And this time he had no intention of directly pulling up and shooting 3 points.

You guys want to block the basket, right? Then I’ll rush to the basket!

We're going to hit the area where your defense is most densely packed!
Destroy you!

To be honest, whether Lin Tian’s choice is correct is definitely worth discussing!
When normal players play, they attack the opponent's weaknesses. If you are strong under the basket, I will shoot. If you are short, I will attack forcefully. If you are slow, I will make a transition. If you are good at double team defense, I will assist. If you are good at man-to-man defense, I will provide unlimited screens.

The correct and common tactic is to counter the opponent's moves, look for flaws, and attack the weak points.

But now, Lin Tian is going to attack his opponent's strongest point head-on!

With a change of direction and a quick twist of his hips, Lin Tian passed Bibby in one step and rushed to the inside. When he reached the edge of the 3-second zone, Prince and Carter arrived quickly to block Lin Tian's way from the left and right.

Lin Tian immediately collected the ball and raised it up, trying to fool the two men with a fake shot, but these two guys knew Lin Tian very well and had watched countless videos of Lin Tian's games, so at this time they did not jump up to block the shot, but raised their arms high to continue blocking Lin Tian's shooting angle.

Seeing that the two men were not fooled and Bibby behind him had already rushed over, Lin Tian was not in a hurry at all and was not nervous at all. Instead, he just stood on the ground and smashed the basketball towards the backboard.

Yes, rebounds!
Carter and Prince were stunned for a moment. When they turned back to look at the rebound, Lin Tian had already passed between them and jumped towards the rebounding basketball.

"Yao! Be careful!" Carter yelled to remind Yao Ming, but it was too late!
Lin Tian's speed and bullet velocity were both astonishingly fast. Yao Ming had no time to figure out what Carter said before he felt a huge force coming from behind him!
Lin Tian made a leap and grabbed the rebound over Yao Ming's head. Then he exerted force again through Yao Ming and sent the ball back with one hand!

And because he was afraid that the basketball would get lost, Lin Tian also showed his gentlemanly manners.

He carried the basketball all the way to the doorstep!

"Boom!" After a loud noise, Lin Tian completed a dunk over Yao Ming!

With one ball, he killed four Nets defensive players in a row!

It's truly a one against four situation!

"Go for the rebound, Yao Ming! Pay attention to the rebound and the positioning! You can't do this!"

Of course, it wasn't Carter or Bibby who reminded Yao Ming to be careful.

But it was Lin Tian.

After dunking, this guy looked at Yao Ming provocatively, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

"Brother Lin really deserves a beating." Dayao muttered helplessly. When he was teammates with Lin Tian, ​​he was really happy, but every time he faced him, he really wanted to beat him up!

All I can say is that humans are full of contradictions!
The Nets' offense, as expected, was not in good form tonight and they once again chose to break through and play hard!
Carter accelerated past Anthony and rushed straight to the basket! Although there were too many people gathered under the basket, Carter's forced jump shot missed.

But for Carter, what he wants is not to make this shot!

It would be the best if it goes in, but if not, there are Yao Ming and Kostic to grab the rebounds!

"Snapped!"

Just as Carter was observing the situation from the outside, wondering whether he should rush in or quickly return to defense, there was a sudden crisp sound, and the basketball was slapped directly from the inside and flew towards the outside!
It was Okur who hit it!

The basketball flew straight to the top of the arc, and Lin Tian was obviously prepared. He looked at the landing point of the basketball, rushed in that direction at a high speed, then hugged the basketball and ran towards the frontcourt!
When Lin gets the ball in this position and you can't stop him immediately, then with Lin Tian's fast break ability and speed, his opponent can only pray at this time.

Pray that Lin Tian will choose a 3-pointer at this time, but then miss the shot.

Apart from this, there is no way to stop his fast break!
This guy's pushing and finishing abilities are really too strong!
Incredibly strong!

"boom!"

A few seconds later, when Carter and Prince were running at full speed but had just reached their own three-point line, Lin Tian had already completed a dunk and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

There's no way to catch up!
"Keep grabbing! Keep grabbing rebounds!"

Lin Tian, ​​who scored 4 points in a row after the timeout, was now completely bloodthirsty. He bared his teeth with murderous intent, looking at Carter, Bibby and others viciously, as if he was ready to kill someone.

Bibby let out a long sigh. After only two rounds, the gap between the two sides had reached 9 points!

Clearly, the gap between the two sides was only 30 points 5 seconds ago.

too fast!
Bibby couldn't help but sigh: When Lin Tian was firing on all cylinders, his ability and speed to score points were truly too fast!

In the Nets' offense, the team's five players were once again fully deployed, trying to create enough space for Yao Ming to play one-on-one.

Yao Ming leaned his back against Okur and tested the resistance behind him. Then when he was about to attack, the Knicks double-teamed him!
Barnes chose a time that made Yao Ming very uncomfortable and suddenly retracted, blocking Yao Ming's position.

Yao Ming reacted quickly. After almost making a mistake in the first attempt, he immediately passed the ball to Prince who was missed on the outside.

Prince received the ball and shot the 3-pointer without hesitation!
"Boom!"

But perhaps because he fought in the paint for too long and too many times, Prince's three-point shot bounced out of the rim again.

Yao Ming immediately turned around and fought with O'Neal, trying to get the rebound.

But his physical decline was too exaggerated. He was almost in a state of overdraft and he was unable to gain the upper hand in the process of positioning.

And Okur didn't even think about taking the rebound, he knew it was too risky!

He chose the same method as before and threw another punch, hitting the basketball hard, sending the basketball directly out of the three-point line!
If I can't get it, no one of you can hold it!

This is the tactic that old Nelson arranged during the timeout just now!
No matter if it’s Stoudemire or Okur, since you can’t win the game against them, then don’t fight for them!

We won’t rob anymore!

Throw the ball outside! Whoever catches it gets it!

At the very least, the Knicks have Lin Tian on the outside, a guy with ridiculously fast reaction and speed. When his teammates are shooting outside, he has the opportunity to steal the ball from the outside!

For example, this time, the basketball was originally landing closer to Bibby, but Lin Tian rushed to the position at a faster speed, and at the same time, he turned his back and pushed the ball, immediately trapping Bibby completely behind him.

Complete physical bullying!
Bibby, who was originally known as a strong and little tank, could hardly see the ball after Lin Tian's move, let alone snatch the rebound from Lin Tian!
He really can't win!

After Lin Tian occupied the effective position, he hugged the basketball and turned around quickly! In the process of turning around, he did not forget to give Bibby behind him a force, so that this guy could not stand firmly and fell directly to the floor.

As for Lin Tian himself, he accelerated his dribbling again and rushed towards the frontcourt!
This time, Lin Tian was delayed for 1-2 seconds because of the confrontation with Bibby, so both Prince and Carter had completed their defense. Carter defended at the free throw line, waiting for Lin Tian's attack, while Prince retreated directly to the basket to guard the last line of defense.

But Lin Tian said: You two run very fast, it's not easy.

But it’s useless when facing Mr. Lin!

Two steps outside the three-point line, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, then stabilized himself a little, and then took another long three-point shot!
Another signature 3-pointer!
Once again, the basketball went into the net!

"Shh!"

12 points!

In less than a minute, Lin Tian scored three goals in a row and created a 1:7 offensive climax by himself!
The helpless Nets could only call a timeout at this time.

"Old Nelson is really decisive and dares to gamble!" Kenny also quickly praised Old Nelson at this time: "Look at these two rebounds of the Knicks team, it is obvious that Old Nelson specially arranged them!"

"If we can't get the ball, then we won't try to get it! We'll just shoot outside and bet that our players can get the ball!"

"This is absolute trust in his own players! He believes that his players can rush to the first landing point of the basketball and then grab the basketball!"

"At the same time, he also believes that as long as Lin Tian can hold the basketball, then with Yao Ming and Kostic in the paint, Lin will definitely be able to dribble the ball and complete a fast break!"

"And obviously, old Nelson made the right bet! His gambling nature helped the team gain a 12-point advantage!"

Barkley said: "Now, the question is back to the Nets. With three minutes left in the game, what should they do? Continue to attack the basket and play 3 points at 2 points? To be honest, with a 2-point gap, they may be too late to play 12 points at 2 points!"

"But playing fast offense and fighting for 3-point shots? Even though they have Carter and Bibby, this is really not what they are good at, nor is it the right way for them to play!"

"Anyway, if it were me, I would take Kostic and replace him with Harrington." Kenny continued, "At this time, we must compete with firepower! Otherwise, even if the Nets can score every basket."

"If they can't defend Lin, they won't be able to catch up quickly!"

"In the final analysis, Lin's 7 consecutive points were too hard and too crucial!"

"The Nets used their height advantage throughout the game and grabbed almost 60 rebounds, but in the last few minutes, they lost on the rebounds!"

"Lin grabbed a frontcourt rebound, and because he was fighting for the frontcourt rebound, he couldn't retreat quickly, so Lin made two consecutive fast breaks." (End of this chapter)
