Chapter 311 Evolution, Lin madness!(2/2)
Scored 7 points and dominated the field!"
Gregg Popovich was pacing back and forth, and Lin Yu was in a surprisingly hot state at the beginning. This was an extremely bad sign for the Spurs.
He could only make another adjustment to the team's defense: "Tim, go up and block him!"
In this way, Duncan, who was originally reserved as a back-up defender to defend James, had to devote himself to Lin Yu's side.
After scoring 7 points in a row in the opening game, Lin Yu also slowed down his scoring pace. It was not that he needed to take a break, but that the Spurs shifted their defensive focus and his individual singles became more difficult.
In comparison, passing the ball to gain assists is the best and easiest option.
For more than four minutes after that, the commentators on the sidelines were still chanting Lin Yu's name.
"China Lin's breakthrough, he attracted a double attack and passed the ball to one side... Daniel Gibson! He caught the ball and shot a wide-open three-pointer... Unfortunately, it didn't go in!"
"China Lin, one of his passes directly found LeBron who was cutting from the baseline...LeBron's dunk! The Cleveland Cavaliers are expanding their lead!"
"..."
Halfway through the first quarter, the Cavaliers directly took a 9-point lead at 18:9.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the progress of the game, but when they saw Lin Yu's data performance, everything seemed so reasonable.
"Chinese Lin, who scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first half of the game, directly dominated the offensive and defensive ends of the game. This game has become his own show. Now, the San Antonio Spurs must think about it.
Thinking about how to stop China Lin now."
After Kenny Smith's tirade, Charles Barkley corrected him with a smile: "No, to be precise, it should be Lin Crazy at this moment!"
During the official timeout, Popovich further adjusted their defense.
"Strong side stacking, Bruce, don't give Lin Yu room to shoot..."
After the timeout, the game restarts.
The Spurs directly used their killer move, strong-side stacking. This is the Celtics' defensive system, but Popovich stole it and now directly used it as a big move.
The effect is still a little bit, at least, facing the help of multiple people to defend, Lin Yu's singles become extremely difficult.
There will be some opportunities on the weak side, but the Spurs' rotating defense can always block the weak side's gaps.
Just like that, in just over a minute, the Spurs played a 5-0 run, narrowing the deficit to 4 points. It seemed that the game was in suspense again.
But at this moment, Lin Yu stood up again.
He first used a Zhan Lin pick-and-roll and hand-to-hand coordination, suddenly turned off the ball, cut two steps in the air, and directly shot a mid-range shot with an emergency stop, hitting the ball directly against the defense.
After preventing the Spurs' attack on the defensive end, he returned to the offensive end and found James again, playing a continuous pick-and-roll coordination.
He caught the ball and ran into the penalty area, and with a bang, he succeeded with a light dunk.
Lin Yu roared after scoring 4 points in a row and dunking the ball.
