0169 Chapter It is logical, the old cannon monthly pass
If Duncan is the cornerstone of the Spurs.
The oil in Parker's sports car's gas tank determines how far the Spurs can drive.
Then whenever the Spurs go deep into desperate situations, they are the ones who drive the colorful auspicious clouds to save them - Manu Ginobili.
There is a poem that praises: The demon sword is unsheathed and reveals its sharpness, and the mind is at ease and leisure is high. If it reaches the critical moment, only Manu will turn the world.
...
After 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, the score on the field was 79-7, and the Knicks were still ahead. At this time, D'Antoni and Popovich made the final substitution adjustment.
Fans at Madison Square Garden have already smelled the atmosphere of the final battle.
It's like two gunmen fighting a gun. Before, they were all temptations, and now it's the turn of a decisive battle.
The Knicks exchanged for Lin Yi, David Lee, Garlinari, Chandler, and Lou Wei, which was their final lineup.
The Spurs are Duncan, Blair, Richardson, Ginobili, and Parker.
"GDP" appears at the same time, which is Popovich's final ultimate move.
In fact, as the game enters the last moment of the fourth quarter, unless it is the tactical arrangement of the last offensive, the head coaches can only trust the stars' performance and their own arrangement.
After a brief wave of blood recovery, the Knicks' first offensive choice returned to Lin Yi.
Popovich no longer used Duncan to deal with Lin Yi. The old "Stone Buddha" consumed a lot today. This was just a regular season game, and it would be no fun to be injured.
The reason why Duncan's stubbornness is also due to Popovich controlling his playing time later in his career and allowing him to take off from time to time.
Blair is responsible for dealing with Lin Yi.
This "little black fat man" was a little nervous. He observed Lin Yi's playing style when he was on the bench. I have to say that Lin Yi is really faster than in the video and video.
Blair lowered the center of gravity to prevent Lin Yi from breaking through. Popovich told him that if it really doesn't work, let Lin Yi throw it!
Only by giving up can you gain!
I have to say that Popovich is indeed a very decisive head coach.
Lin Yi is also a very decisive player.
After doing a dribble under the crotch and pretending to break through, and finding that Blair didn't rush out, Lin Yi opened the space and directly closed his abdomen, kicked his legs, stagnated the air, and took action!
Swish!
79 to 9!
The Knicks lead by 0 points again!
"So beautiful, Lin Yi's jump shot is like a textbook!" Yu Jia said with emotion.
"Blair is much shorter than him. The Spurs defended Lin Yi to break through, but it is difficult to stop him from taking action. Look at Lin Yi's little wrist shaking and his shooting curve... Not many people can play this in NBA." Zhang Heli Li said.
Madison Square Garden has shouted vp, vp again at this time!
In this kind of decisive battle, isn’t it that who can seize the opportunity?
Looking back, the Spurs attacked, Parker opened this attack, Ginobili and Duncan played a wall, and the strange steps of the Demon Sword made Chandler who defended him very hard. Ginobili could still break even at the age of 40 in the future. When he was young, Manu relied on speed, but when he was old, he relied on rhythm and footsteps. Lin Yi, who was resting on defense, failed to block Ginobili, and compared to 9, the Spurs recovered two points.
"I don't know if there is any tutorial on Ginobili's breakthrough after the Ankle Terminator continues to upgrade... It's really useful." Lin Yi thought to himself.
The game continued, with the Knicks and the Spurs taking turns to tug-of-war. Lou Wei would occasionally stand up and take the gun from Lin Yi's hand and shoot a few times. At the last moment, no one dared to make mistakes, so there were fewer passes and cuts.
Popovich frowned because the Knicks did play well tonight. After the Spurs' defensive strength increased, Lin Yi and Lu Wei could score even with the help of others.
Popovich called a timeout when there were 4 minutes left. After asking about Duncan's status, Popovich decided to let "Stone Buddha" fight Lin Yi in the last 4 minutes.
Blair's wingspan was too short, and Popovich replaced veteran Mike Dess at the same time, and told the players that if the Knicks hit the inside, they must go around in advance.
As a result, when he came back from the timeout, Popovich found that the Knicks had replaced David Lee and replaced Harrington.
Popovich suddenly felt something was wrong...
Sure enough, the Knicks played in the inside, but unlike Lin Yi and David Lee's pick-and-roll, when Lin Yi and Harrington played pick-and-roll, Harrington cuts out, and as long as the Spurs can't keep up, Harrington scores 3 points on the outside.
This three-pointer at the decisive moment is simply deadly!
With minutes and 2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Harrington hit his second three-pointer after he came on the court to widen the score to 9-0, and Popovich knew that he could no longer win tonight.
Unless Ginobili can also do a McGrady-style 35 seconds and 3 minutes... but that's too sci-fi.
In the end, the Spurs lost to the Knicks 02-4 away. At the moment the game ended, the Knicks fans at home stood up and applauded the team.
In this year, the significance of defeating the Spurs is different. Recently, the Knicks' record is unstable. Many media believe that the momentum of "Lin Crazy" has passed, and the Knicks are not as strong as people imagine.
But defeating the Spurs tonight was undoubtedly a slap in the face by those who sang the Knicks.
"The Knicks' performance tonight is worthy of victory. Coach Zhang and Lin Yi set a new high." Yu Jia checked the technical statistics as soon as possible after the game. If you don't look at it, Lin Yi played 37 minutes tonight, made 29 shots, hitting 4 goals, including 2 of 5 three-pointers and 7 free throws, scoring the highest 37 points in the game. In addition, he also grabbed 9 rebounds with a career high, 0 of which were offensive rebounds, plus 4 blocks and 2 assists, and was the number one hero in the Knicks' defeat tonight.
Especially in the critical fourth quarter, Lin Yi stood up and hit a high-difficulty mid-range shot many times.
Only two of the Knicks scored in double digits tonight, and the other one scored in double digits was Louis Williams. Lu Wei made 27 shots, made 3 goals, made 5 three-pointers, made 4 free throws, and scored 35 points, rebounds and 3 assists.
The "Lin Lu" combination scored 72 points, while the Spurs, Duncan scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ginobili scored 2 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, Parker scored 9 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and "GDP" teamed up to contribute 60 points.
Popovich generously congratulated D'Antoni after the game. Old De was in a very good mood. After defeating the Spurs, the resentment in his chest disappeared a lot.
In an interview after the game, Popovich praised Lin Yi fiercely, "He is a future soldier. To be honest, I don't know where his ceiling is. You have seen it. This is just his rookie season. If compared horizontally, Lin's rookie season is slightly better than LeBron."
The reason why Popovich praised Lin Yi was to relieve the pressure on the players and told the players that we lost not because we played poorly, but because the Knicks played too well.
The NBA season is very long. During such a long season, stars will explode every night, and the Spurs just hit the Knicks' gun.
"Lin, JRS Voice wants to interview you and make preparations." Javier Stanford happily patted Lin Yi on the back.
"Okay." Lin Yi, who was still adjusting his breathing, replied.
This game consumes a lot of money for Lin Yi. These old guns are really harsh, especially thinking that they can still be harsh for many years in the future, Lin Yi suddenly feels unloving.
