I really play basketball

Chapter 123 Two kinds of back attack, two kinds of flowering

After the timeout, the Sonics first made offensive changes.

The main reason is that Payton has pulled his hips for several offensive rounds in a row, like a hard-working writer who has not saved a manuscript.

Payton's various singles and breakthroughs are not the main offense of the Supersonics.

If it wasn't for Xiao Chong's poor defense, the Supersonics felt that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it and made changes.

As usual, the supersonic play style should be——

Payton, Kemp, Detlef Schrempf and even Kendall Gill all have opportunities to hold the ball.

Everyone has a chance to break through, everyone can catch and shoot, the only emphasis is on speed.

It sounds a bit like the Warriors' style of play a few years ago, with dynamic offense and more blossoms.

Actually, it is!
In other words, the current offensive style of the Warriors is the result of the old Nelson's continuous improvement on the basis of George Karl.

All of this must be counted forward——

Old Nelson's former Warriors head coach was Ed Gregory, but he was just an acting head coach.

In the 87-88 season, the Warriors' record was too bad, the former head coach dismissed get out of class, and Gregory took over halfway.

Gregory's former head coach was George Karl, who had just started his coaching career at that time.

George Karl's coaching career was not considered successful at the beginning. He coached the Cavaliers for one and a half seasons and dismissed midway, coached the Warriors for one and a half seasons, and still dismissed midway.

However, these two short coaching experiences allowed George Karl to establish his tactical thinking, which is dynamic offense + multi-point blooming.

It can be said that after Nelson left the Bucks, he suddenly switched from defense to offense. It is hard to say that he was not inspired by George Karl.

But later, this style of play changed differently in the hands of Nelson and George Karl.

Old Nelson neglected defense more and more, his team played faster and faster, and played the offense to the extreme.

George Karl reflected on his experience of failure in the Cavaliers and Warriors and made changes.

With the Supersonics' style of play, the offense still hasn't changed much.

For example, on the ball coming back from a timeout, Payton no longer played singles, but Schramf stepped forward and hit a high back.

He played very crisply, back hitting and turning around, and he didn't even think about it as a mid-range shot.

Unfortunately, it was Lin Xing who guarded him.

The ball was severely interfered by Lin Xing, and with a bang, it missed.

The rebound was grabbed by Mullin, turned around, and the Warriors continued to try to counterattack.

But still the same, the supersonic retreated quickly, preventing the Warriors from counterattacking.

In the frontcourt, Lin Xing pointed his butt at Payton for the sixth time.

Peyton was in a hurry: "Fk, you are endless, right?"

Lin Xing can only give him six points, but he has no choice but to face it head-on, what else can he use without his butt?

Or, hide aside and dawdle?
That's not Lin Xing's style. No matter what, he has to carry in this game to have a chance to win.

That being said, Lin Xing still felt the change in this backlash.

The first is Payton's single defense. He obviously defended very tightly, as if he didn't pay attention to Lin Xing's turn and breakthrough.

Lin Xing turned his head and glanced back, and soon, he saw Kemp's defense.

If you want to talk about the change of George Karl, it is on the defensive end.

He realized that only relying on offense may be able to guarantee victory, but it will definitely not touch success.

So, he combined defense.

On the court, Lin Xing pushed forward with his back, and Kemp came to defend him immediately.

Facing the pinch defense, Lin Xing did not stick to the ball, but quickly distributed the ball.

Lin Xing, who had the experience of being cut off when he passed the ball without looking at others, has also learned to be steady.

He steadily distributed the ball to the madman in the middle without any interference. Although the madman still needs to face Schramf's defense, after all, the Supersonics can't allocate more people to help defend against the pinch.

In a one-on-one situation, he was still playing Schramf, a dubious forward, and the madman pushed Schramf away as soon as he accelerated.

Finally, a layup succeeded.

Although Lin Xing's back is being taken care of, but the focus of attention means that other positions will definitely leak opportunities.

The Warriors' lineup, except for the center, the other four positions, the ability to do it alone is not bad.

Therefore, the supersonic defense only temporarily stopped Lin Xing's attack alone.

For the Sonics, little has changed defensively.

The focus is still on the offensive end. Everyone has the opportunity to play for a while, and the Sonics quickly found the optimal solution for the offensive end.

Kemp made a series of breakthroughs to the basket and scored consecutively, and the Sonics bit the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors relied on Lin Xing's single-point blast, and then led their teammates to gain an advantage.

33 to 26, a lead of 7 points, which is not bad.

At the end of this section of the battle, Peyton shook his head:
"Sta, you are different from the last match. This is the reason why you can take the lead in this quarter, but the score is always approaching. Soon, the situation will be reversed..."

Lin Xing ignored Payton's nonsense, he had already figured out how to play the second quarter.

reverse?Impossible to reverse!
Soon, Lin Xing was replaced first, sat on the bench, and rested for half a quarter.

"Sta, it's your turn to play!"

When Old Nelson shouted Lin Xing's name, the score was 47-42.

With a score gap of 5 points, the Warriors' lead was indeed forced closer.

But it should be noted that unless the Warriors play on the bench with Lin Xing, they must lose points.

Therefore, it is not a big problem to lose only 2 points in this half of the quarter.

Lin Xing responded, then got up directly, threw off the training jacket on his body, and quickly moved to the front of the technical stage.

When passing by Old Nelson, the "mad scientist" even patted Lin Xing on the back:

"You know what to do, Sta."

Lin Xing just nodded, of course he knew.

On the Supersonic side, George Karl saw Lin Xing standing in front of the technical stage, and he immediately called Payton on the bench.

Although in the first quarter, Payton was so abused by Lin Xing's back that he could only call his teammates for help.

But at this moment, he is still full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

Soon, with a dead ball, the two appeared on the field at the same time.

When he appeared on the stage, Peyton was full of nonsense again——

"I've already figured out how to defend you, Sta, you know, just like the one-on-ones we've had on the streets over the past ten years, you're not my opponent..."

Lin Xing shook his head, but still ignored Peyton.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight trash with Payton, but that he has been fighting Payton for so long, and it is very clear:
Trash talk has to be targeted.

Payton is obviously out of words now.

When Lin Xing reappeared, he had to face a wave of supersonic attacks.

However, this wave of offense has come to an end. Kemp made a breakthrough and caused a foul by Chris Gatlin.

Now, he's at the free throw line.

After making one of two free throws, the score was 47 to 43, and the Warriors still led by 4 points.

The Warriors' offense started. Steve Kerr, the real dribbling guard, delivered the ball to the frontcourt and was about to find Lin Xing on the other side. Only then was he surprised to find——

Lin Xing shrank directly to the basket. He directed his teammates to pull the empty side, and then he turned his back and stuck Payton, who was marking him, behind him.

"Post-back under the basket?"

Lin Xing's back under the basket stunned everyone.

After all, from the beginning to now, Lin Xing has always played a high back.

Everyone thinks that Lin Xing just developed a high back.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xing can also play in the low post.

Not only can it fight, but the back body bonus provided by the badge of the megalodon shark on the back is still low on the body.

Peyton was also stunned. He watched Lin Xing catch the ball and made a strong push, but he staggered a bit.

Immediately after Lin Xing turned around, Peyton was pushed away vigorously, unable to react at all.

He only heard a bang from behind, and Lin Xing was already hanging on the basket.

After the hanging frame fell to the ground, Lin Xing still took advantage of this good opportunity to respond to Peyton's trash talk——

"Gary, you gotta understand, times are different!"

"Everyone is evolving, and so am I..."

Scoring 2 points with a low back, George Karl on the sidelines has already smelled danger.

Soon, on the defensive end, because there was no Detlef Schramf on the field, Lin Xing faced the Supersonics' substitute insider Michael Cage.

He watched Kemp come in directly through a pick-and-roll, without even thinking about it, he rushed up and found a confrontation.

With a bang, the air collided, and Lin Xing's long arm aimed directly at the basketball.

Snapped!
Not only was the basketball shot flying, but Kemp was also pushed down by the cap.

With a bang, he fell to the floor.

Because of the relationship between Lin Xing and Payton, the boos at the Key Arena have never been intense.

But with this cap, the intensity of boos went straight to the top.

There were boos everywhere, but Lin Xing beat his chest and roared.

Although the ball is still supersonic, but their attack time is only the last 2.6 seconds left.

Payton Biao made a three-pointer, and with a bang, he missed.

The Warriors grabbed the rebound, and the offense and defense switched.

It is impossible to counterattack, but in positional warfare, Lin Xing once again appeared in the low position.

A strong back hit from the low post crushed Payton and scored another 2 points.

On the sidelines, George Karl's little hope that "Payton can withstand Lin Xing" was also shattered.

Turning around and attacking, Ricky Pierce hit a mid-range shot.

51 to 45, the Warriors lead by 6 points and still hold the ball.

Watch Lin Xing get to the basket again, with his back to Payton, and receive a pass from Steve Kerr.

George Karl was in a hurry, urging from the sidelines: "flank, flank!"

Michael Cage, Kemp and others did rush up to pinch, but Lin Xing didn't beep, and directly ran over Payton, jumped up, and made a light dunk under the basket.

In the commentary seat, Matt Gudica was stunned: "Is this the low-post singles of Star University? It is worthy of being the starting power forward of the All-Stars!"

Lin Xing: I have said it [-] times, I am a point guard, a point guard!

It is understandable for point guards to play high-post singles, after all, there is Mark Jackson, the back-up maniac.

Can play low post singles?Is that what a point guard should have?
Needless to say, Lin Xing is indeed becoming more and more like a power forward as he plays.

Compared with orthodox power forwards, what he still lacks may only be accurate close-range shots on the offensive end and help defense on the defensive end.

Lin Xing didn't know Gudica's exclamation, not only didn't know, at this moment, he was even secretly feeling——

It's great to be a power forward, and it's so easy to score goals!
As for the three goals after debuting in the second quarter, they were all buttocks, a turn, and 2 points.

While Lin Xing was feeling emotional, George Karl shook his head, probably understanding that this game has gone far.

For George Karl, this victory is quite important.

After winning this game, the Sonics must be number one in the league.

First place in the regular season not only means the home field advantage in the playoffs, but more importantly, the honor of the regular season, the first place in the regular season is given priority.

The core players of the Supersonics, the statistics are not outstanding.

Because George Karl's rotation is very frequent, Gary Payton, who played the most minutes, averaged 35.1 minutes per game.

You know, this is the 90s, and playing for about 40 minutes is a routine operation.

The statistics of the core players are not outstanding, and the only ones who can compete for the honor of the regular season are the team's sixth man and his coach.

The sixth man of the Sonics is Ricky Pierce, who averaged 14.5 points per game, but this honor is not based on record, but on statistics, so he should not be able to compete with Curry's father, who averaged 16.3 points per game.

Then, the only chance for the Sonics is the best coach.

If you get the first place in the regular season, George Karl will be the best coach.

And if the Rockets get the first place in the regular season, the possibility of him losing to the Rockets' Rudy Tomjanovich is very high.

So, George Karl was in a hurry.

But it's useless to worry, if you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it.

It's like Saito Asuka is not your wife, and you think about it day and night, she can't become your wife.

This match has already been broken by Lin Xing's own efforts.

On the offensive end, Lin Xing defended against someone who misfired;
On the defensive end, how does Lin Xing play with his back;
George Karl spread his hands, the number one in the league is destined to disappear!

……

The Rockets' final battle of the season is against the Nuggets.

Because of the reasons that preceded the Warriors vs. Sonics, their game is over.

With the league's first attraction, there is still no suspense in this game.

大梦发力，34分13个篮板5个助攻1个抢断还有8个盖帽。

The gold diggers who directly capped turned their backs on their backs, and the African mountains that capped were all complaining.

In this way, the Rockets won the game.

But because of the disadvantages of playing against each other, whether the number one in the league can be won depends on the faces of the Warriors vs. Sonics.

In the locker room, they turned on the TV, only to see something unexpected.

"At halftime, 64 to 53, the Warriors lead by 11 points?"

"Who broke out and who broke out?"

"Let me guess with my asshole, it should be Star."

"..."

不得不承认，这位用屁眼猜的仁兄猜得很准，林星半场掠下21分5个篮板6个助攻2个抢断2个大帽。

In the second half that followed, the Sonics still couldn't control his backs.

In other words, if you really want to control it, you can still control it.

But after controlling it, there will be more leaks on both sides, which is what George Karl doesn't want to see.

So he simply let Lin Xing play all kinds of backs. In order to liberate Payton, he even replaced Nate McMillan on the bench to face Lin Xing in the second half.

Of course, the result is still the same.

George Karl was lucky: he couldn't kill the game by himself.

As a result, Lin Xing scored 19 points in the third quarter.

While directly pulling the personal score to 40 points, the Warriors also led the Supersonics by 94 points 81 to 13.

The score gap widened very slowly, mainly because the Supersonics' offensive efficiency was not low.

But in general, the Warriors relied on Lin Xing's stable backs to score and continued to suppress the Supersonics.

With 40 points in three quarters, there is still suspense in the game, and Lin Xing is already thinking about 50 points.

There is still no suspense in the final game, no, there is still suspense.

Before playing, Lin Xing yelled at Payton: "Gary, I might score 50 points on top of you!"

The result was this shout, calling out the supersonic's desperate pinch defense and containment.

In the fourth quarter, he tried his best and scored 6 points.

In the end, 46 points, plus 8 rebounds plus 9 assists plus 3 steals and 2 blocks, ended the battle in the final battle of the regular season.

Although it didn't have 50 points, it was enough. After the game, Lin Xing stood in front of Payton and slapped him hard.

"Did you see that? Gary, 46 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Stadt completely crushed you. He's locked in tomorrow's headlines!"

As a result, Xiao Chong was the first to start screaming.

This made the second monk Lin Xingzhang puzzled: If you want to make a fool of yourself, can't you use your own data to make a fool of yourself?
哦，你才得了19分7个助攻1个抢断啊，还不如佩顿的25分8个助攻2个抢断，那没事了。

Payton is naturally unconvinced, you must know: "Don't be complacent, and don't forget, even if you win, the regular season score is still 3 to 1!"

"I don't know the score of the regular season. I only know that we won and pulled you off the top spot in the regular season."

"The regular season score is 3 to 1!"

"I said it on horseback. I don't know the regular season score. I only know that we won the game at the end of the season!"

"The regular season score is 3 to 1!"

"..."

Lin Xing shook his head, he really didn't want to see the elementary school students quarreling, so he separated the two who were about to kiss each other, and then made a conclusion:
"If you want me to say, the regular season is nothing, if you have the ability, we will fight again in the playoffs!"

Xiao Chong was reminded: "Yes, we will play again in the playoffs! Coincidentally, you are second and we are third. We don't need to wait too long. We will meet in the second round of the playoffs."

Gritting his teeth, Payton also understands that the playoffs are the stage where the real battle will take place.

Immediately nodded: "Okay, let's fight again in the playoffs!"

He turned around and was about to leave, but in the end, Lin Xing stopped him: "Wait, Gary."

"What else?"

"Have you forgotten the bet before the game?"

Peyton froze for a moment: "What bet, I don't know."

Then, turn around and run...

Seeing Peyton who ran away, Lin Xing was stunned.

At the end, he said, "Gah, this guy's reputation is not as good as Charles Barkley's!"

　I’m stretching my hips again today. To be precise, I haven’t written in a day. Kavinka is very good. I finally wrote 5k. I found some status. When I checked the time, it was 11 o’clock.

　　emmm... Anyway, that's all I can do today, wait for Yi Wen to recover his status, and make up for it.
