0133 The long-lost stunt (group photo nostalgia)
"The Knicks actually called a pause first," Kenny Smith said.
"It's normal. Lin's performance in this game is obviously limited. D'Antoni is not Phil Jackson, so he can never call a timeout." Barkley complained.
On the court, the Lakers cheerleading beauties ended, and the players from both teams returned to the court.
The "Zen Master" glanced at Old De. He didn't think D'Antoni could find a way to crack the Lakers' defense in such a short time.
Although this Lakers prefer to be dying, once they defend seriously, they will definitely have the defensive level of the top three in the league.
After the timeout, the Knicks attacked, and at this time people seemed to suddenly discover something amazing.
"Lin went to the low post?" Kenny Smith still remembered that the last time Lin Yi went to the low post to play singles was when they played the Heat in the first game of the regular season.
But Artest is not Joel Anthony and Haslem, and the Lakers' inside has Bynum and Gasol who can make up for defense at any time. The Lakers' inside is not the Heat!
"We seem to have forgotten that Lin is the center on the court." Barkley smiled.
Lin Yi asked for the ball at a low post on the court, Artest held him back. Artest did not choose to go around the front this time because Lin Yi was too tall and the chance of being hooked upside down was too high. Artest's bounce has now dropped seriously, but Artest's strength is good. Even if Lin Yi wants to turn over and jump shot, Artest has a way to make Lin Yi uncomfortable.
The Knicks slowed down their offensive rhythm and low-post tactics. Did the Knicks actually use low-post tactics?
The "Second Battalion Commander" Garlinari on the wing gave Lin Yi a lob. Lin Yi calmly received the ball. Although the "Zen Master" in front of the Lakers' bench didn't know what the Knicks wanted to do, I have to say that Lin Yi's basic skills are really good.
In the VIP seat on the sidelines at Staples Stadium, "Actor" Jack Nicholson was drinking a drink and chatting with the female companion beside him. At this moment, Nicholson was suddenly stunned. The drink slowly slid down the corner of his mouth, and he didn't notice it...
On the court, facing Artest's defense, Lin Yi's body suddenly tilted to the side. His right hand grabbed the ball with one hand. While his body was away from Artest, he raised his right arm over his head, swung his palm, and gently sent it with his fingertips...
Swish—!
"Oh! My God!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"It's really been a long time since I've seen such a standard skyhook!" Barkley shook his head and said.
Skyhook!
Staples is reproduced in the sky!
Almost all Lakers fans made a fuss!
Some older Lakers fans are very familiar with this move because this is the former Lakers legend and NBA history-the best scorer - Tiangou Kareem!
How is that possible?
Whether it is a fan or an expert, I can't believe my eyes at this moment, because the main reason why some of the NBA's tricks are lost is that they are difficult to practice. Tian Gou is not a close-range hook. Who can practice this long-range hook except for the perverted Abdul-Jabbar?
This move not only requires an arm span, but also a soft feel. For most inside players, since the Tiangou is not as practical as a turn-over jump shot, why do you have to work hard to practice the Tiangou?
But all this is not a problem for Lin Yi. His body shape is close to Jabbar, his touch is soft, and as an "all-professional player", this move has always been in his arsenal.
But generally speaking, Lin Yi rarely uses this trick.
How many of the inside players he had faced before were faster than him? Generally, he could play with his back, and he could play with flexible steps, and had a more efficient scoring method. Lin Yi threw this move into the arsenal and would usually train for practice, but he had never used it in NBA games.
The last time Lin Yi used the Sky Gou was in his NCAA era. NBA teams would not specifically study a weapon you have not used for such a long time.
The reason why Lin Yi decided to use this move tonight was very simple. When Artest hits the man, his knees would be pressed against his calves, making Lin Yi unable to exert force easily. This would cause great interference to hit the back and turnover jump shot.
Lin Yi remembers that when the Rockets and Mavericks PK, McGrady defended Nowitzki so much, and the results were pretty good. The Rockets' defensive expert Hayes also used this trick to prevent many inside players from being uncomfortable.
When the turnover jump shot is disturbed, the most indescribable point of Tiangou is highlighted: the height of 221 cm and Lin Yi's arm span. This trick is similar to that of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, that is, it depends entirely on his own feel!
When the timeout was just suspended, Lin Yi, who was blocked from the frontal attack, gave D'Antoni a suggestion, that is, in addition to attracting the conversion attack, he would play a low-post tactic once he landed in the position.
Artest's death entangled to the low post would not work so well, because this is the world of center.
Lin Yi felt good tonight.
Wake up, I'm the big center!
In the next few rounds of battle, people confirmed that Lin Yi's Tiange just now was no accident.
Because he got four hooks and three shots!
The Lakers changed their defensive strategy in time. Once Lin Yi went to the low post to ask for the ball, he would decisively attack him.
In the first quarter, before Lin Yi left the court, Lin Yi performed a performance that was enough to be selected as the top five goals: Lin Yi took the ball at the low post at the time, and Gasol came to defend immediately. At this time, Lin Yi seemed to have eyes on his head, and threw the ball back with both hands. In the three-second zone, David Li appeared and took the ball and made a layup in one go!
"The Knicks' offense has been activated, and Lin's pass is really imaginative." Kenny Smith said.
"It seems that the Lakers have to think of some solutions. Lin has a good feel tonight. He opened our eyes tonight. This hand reappears Staples and the cool pass from behind the head just now. It should become the news that the media will focus on after the game." Barkley said with emotion.
At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks led the Lakers by one point 30-29.
Lin Yi scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, with amazing efficiency.
Lin Yi doesn't always use Tiangou. This skill of competing for character can make money by fighting. In the first quarter, Lin Yi will get off four minutes in advance to take the second team.
Tiangou's move does not consume any physical strength, and it is worth a bet when it feels good. Tonight, the Knicks need some luck to steal the victory from Angel City.
Lin Yi has a good character and has made the scalp of Lakers fans who show off Staples.
In the second quarter, Phil Jackson did make targeted arrangements. Gasol, Walton, Odom, Vujasic and Famar appeared together. Phil Jackson let Gasol rest four minutes in advance in the first quarter, which was also a substitute for the Knicks.
The Lakers have to ensure their defensive rotation speed, and obviously don't want Lin Yi to have fun.
Phil Jackson's platoon is commendable, but when people see the New York Knicks' lineup in the second quarter, they can't help but swear.
Milicic, Jeffries, Garlinari, Chandler, Lin Yi!
Three inside lines?
Damn it!
Wait, who will play the point guard?
Could it be?
Lakers' substitute point guard Famal looked at Lin Yi standing in front of him...
"ha?"
Going crazy!
Are the Knicks crazy?
Use Lin Yi to play the point guard?
And use him to guard Famar?
Just as people were holding their swear words back, on the court, Famal dribbled through, Famal was blocked - a big hat from Lin Yi!
cut!
Lin Yi is a man who has fought with Curry for tens of thousands of rounds. Lin Yi, who is straightforward and does not even have a change of direction, is not afraid of any breakthrough. Looking at Famal slipping past him, Lin Yi is waiting for him to take a big hat to chase him!
It was the Knicks' turn to attack. When they saw Lin Yi dribbling slowly through the half, the Lakers players were a little confused.
Because Lin Yi is indeed the Knicks' "point guard in the second quarter!"
How to prevent this?
"This..." Kenny Smith felt that he had a lot to say, but he was speechless for a moment.
"The Knicks have indeed prepared their ultimate move!" 221 cm point guard? Why does Barkley feel like he is reading a novel?
Bah! If anyone dares to write this novel, Barkley will definitely be the leader of the alliance!
