Chapter 132: Spiritual Zen Master, Lin Yi Is Restrained!
"The game is on! Lin jumped to the ball again." TNT TV, Kenny Smith said.
This is Lin Yi's 14th consecutive game with a successful jump ball.
Bynum, who failed to jump the ball, looked resentful, and at this time, Lin Yi, who ran to the frontcourt, also saw clearly the Lakers players defending him...
Fuck!
Lin Yi was so impressed by this bandit-like face that the Lakers actually used Artest to defend themselves. Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't have to worry about Artest's iron elbow hitting his head, otherwise Lin Yi Yi is about to go to the ophthalmologist after the game, to test whether he has the talent to open the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
On the sidelines, Knicks coach D'Antoni gave Phil Jackson a surprised look. This is the first time the Knicks have encountered an opponent who used a small forward to defend Lin Yi at the beginning of the game. James played against Lin Yi in the game against the Cavaliers. Yi Yi three times, and Bobby Simmons also defended Lin Yi in the game against the Nets, but he has never arranged a small forward to face Lin Yi at the beginning of the game.
"The Lakers are really bold. They even used Artest to defend Lin. What would the Knicks do?" Kenny Smith said.
"I think the Knicks will play pick-and-rolls. Although Artest's defense against Lin is an obvious misplacement, Artest is a very good defensive player. I think the change of the Lakers is very interesting." Barkley said.
The Knicks' starting point guard tonight, Tony Douglas, handed the ball to Lin Yi. During this period, Artest's lateral movement speed is not as fast as when he was young, but for Lin Yi, who likes to pinch soft persimmons the most, He decisively called a pick-and-roll.
David Lee mentioned that the high position would be a wall for Lin Yi, and Bynum was in charge of man-marking David Lee. Artest saw that he couldn't get around the pick-and-roll, so he just lifted David Lee. Te is a tough player, but this scene still left Lin Yi dumbfounded.
It really opened!
Lin Yi almost thought he was on the wrong set, are you sure this is NBA and not WWE?
drop!
The referee whistled decisively, and Artest looked aggrieved. Could this be a foul?
Fortunately, the referee tonight is not Joey Crawford, otherwise at Staples, the ball may not necessarily be a foul.
The Knicks failed to make the first attack, Lin Yi handed the ball to Harrington, and Harrington's mid-range shot after the breakthrough was interfered by Gasol.
Bynum grabbed the backcourt rebound, "An Zhu" is very excited today.
The Lakers' first attack in the opening game was their best triangle offense. With Gasol, the top support master, the Lakers' triangle offense is even more powerful.
The first attack was completed by Lakers star Kobe Bryant.
Kick your legs, tighten your stomach, stay in the air, and shoot!
Really picturesque!
2 to 0, the Lakers took the lead.
For the Knicks, Lin Yi didn't call the pick-and-roll this time. He went off the ball this time. Artest followed him. Lin Yi slipped around and received a 45-degree pass from Tony Douglas on the outside. pass the ball.
At this moment, the entire Staples was quiet.
Kick your legs, tighten your stomach, stay in the air, and shoot!
It is also really picturesque!
2 to 3! The Knicks overtook.
Artest's defense is very hard, but Lin Yi is too tall, Artest decided to limit Lin Yi's catches for a while, so that he can't catch and shoot so easily.
As if in response to Lin Yi's beautiful jumper just now, Kobe Bryant turned around and went straight out of the three-point line.
No way, when the hand feels good, Kobe is the killer.
5 to 3.
After scoring the goal, Kobe pointed to Lin Yi and then patted his chest.
"Looks like Kobe and Lin are matching up," Kenny Smith said.
"Maybe because he knew Lin was his fan, Kobe played very seriously today.
"At this time, Barkley hated Kobe very much, especially when the Lakers and the Suns had a tiebreaker in the playoffs, Kobe only took 3 shots in the second half.
Barkley criticized Kobe for being too selfish, and Kobe responded that it was because of the team's tactical arrangements.
Although he felt that the Knicks had little chance of winning, Barkley still hoped that the Knicks could kill the Lakers in his heart.
The Knicks' offense, Artest's death entanglement defended Lin Yi, Tony Douglas changed the pass object, and handed the ball to "Second Battalion Commander" Gallinari.
Gallinari's confidence has soared this season. He played Kobe in the low post. Kobe defended well, but the "Second Battalion Commander" is taller. Although his shooting movements are not as beautiful as Lin Yi and Kobe, the Italian handsome guy turns over and slows down. practical.
5 to 5.
The "Zen Master" Phil Jackson on the sidelines is very satisfied with Artest's defense tonight. Lin Yi's comprehensive player is really not easy to defend. He is misplaced when he hits anyone. He doesn't expect Artest to defend Lin Yi throughout the game. Artest can consume Lin Yi as long as he can.
Lin Yi also knew about Phil Jackson's careful thinking. If he can't drive the whole team, he is just a big Klay, and his picturesque jump shot can't guarantee a full hit.
Well, no, Kobe set an example. Kobe's third shot after the opening, such a handsome and elegant shot, naturally got him a rebound.
David Lee stuck in his position, grabbed the rebound and launched an attack with a long throw. Lin Yi had already rushed to the frontcourt. Artest hugged Lin Yi. The referee whistled and Lin Yi went to the free throw line.
When he was a fan, Lin Yi liked Artest very much, but as an opponent, I have to say that Lin Yi was very annoying to Artest. Artest had never played cleanly.
In Lin Yi's memory, Harden suffered a brutal elbow headshot and successfully unlocked the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
Just now Atela's actions were also very bad, but he was very smart. In order to avoid malicious fouls, he hugged Lin Yi when Lin Yi landed.
Playing like this is not an option. It seems that New York is also scoring, but Lin Yi is so overdrawn, the Knicks, who lack the depth of the bench, take jujube pills.
Lin Yi made two free throws and the score became 5 to 7. He confirmed his eyes with D'Antoni on the sidelines. After the Lakers scored the next attack and rewritten the score to 7 to 7, D'Antoni requested the first goal of the game. a pause.
It is impossible to say that the Knicks have no ambitions in the away game. D'Antoni did not put pressure on the players. It is because the Lakers are indeed very strong, but if D'Antoni does not want to win, it is a joke.
This Lakers team is strong.
After being crazy for several seasons in a row, the arrival of Gasol, the perfect second head, made Phil Jackson's triangle offense completely alive.
The Knicks don’t have a single-defense player like Tony Allen. It’s hard to limit Kobe. It’s impossible to completely prevent the Lakers from dying. What the Knicks can do is shrink their defense. The Lakers are average three-pointers and the most accurate shooter. It was Vujacic who met Sharapova in Lin Yi's memory.
Pseudo-zone defense is D'Antoni's forte, but in order to win, the Knicks must first solve the offense.
Lin Yi is the core of their offense. Once Lin Yi is restricted, the Knicks will be unable to drive away as if the engine has been removed.
But D'Antoni also had a headache. Phil Jackson's move against Artest against Lin Yi was very spiritual. Just when D'Antoni couldn't think of a way to defeat the enemy, Lin Yi suddenly stretched out his long arms.
"Coach, I have a proposal." Lin Yi looked at D'Antoni sincerely.
