I really play basketball

Chapter 127 Why is there me everywhere

Chapter 127 Why is there me everywhere

Winning the game is winning, but winning is not normal.

Just like the Supersonics won the Nuggets, the Warriors won this ball not because of how well their core players played, but because of how well their core players played better.

How much is Barkley in this game?Just look at the statistics after the game.

16次出手,只有4次命中,25%的命中率,得到11分14个篮板3个助攻2个抢断还有2个失误。

What the data can't show is that-

Throughout the entire game, under Lin Xing's marking, Barkley did not have a single threatening personal attack.

Almost all of the four goals he scored were missed.

There is no threat on the offensive end, and Barkley's role is only on the defensive end.

Barkley's defensive Lin Xing only made 24 of 10 shots.
It can be said that if Barkley's defense is not faulty, Paul Westphal would even suspect: this guy is playing negatively.

The Warriors won the game because of Barkley's hip pull.

If Barkley didn't pull his hips, there is a high probability that he would not win this game.

Because Lin Xing's performance was also a bit broken——

He made 24 of 10 shots and made just over [-]% of his field goals.

Not good enough for a power forward.

The score of 25 points, compared to the regular season, can only be said to be qualified.

But if you compare the number of shots, it is not very qualified.

However, the four basic statistics of 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 block still lifted Lin Xing's playoff debut.

At the end of the game, Shuangping also blew a wave——

"I got a triple-double in my first show in the playoffs. Dalin is Dalin. He deserves to be the best rookie in NBA history!"

They don't care whether Lin Xing's performance is broken or not, anyway, the statistics are enough for them to brag.

In fact, not only Shuangping, but also commentators and football critics in the United States also think that Lin Xing's performance is not bad.

"Although he encountered strict defense, Star still played his due role. The triple-double plus 3 steals and 1 block proved that Star is still the engine of the Warriors in this game."

The engine is indeed still an engine, but it is no longer an eight-cylinder engine, at most it is an ordinary engine with about four cylinders.

An ordinary engine with about four cylinders is not a superstar.

Not a superstar, but you have to face the sun with superstars.

Although the superstar of the Suns has also pulled his hips, if Barkley finds his form in the next game, this round of the series will not be optimistic.

Considering this, Lin Xing summed up after the game.

"It can be seen that the focus of the Phoenix people is on you. In this game, their defense is crazy. As long as you enter the effective range, they will implement a pinch defense..."

Helping him sum up is Tim Glover, the trainer, not only to help the employer train.

It is also necessary to help the employer analyze the game, sum up experience, and even find out the opponent's goal.

"It can be said that the strict defense of the Phoenix people is already a dead end for you personally, unless your mid-range shot can be immediately improved to the point where you can even go in against double-teams."

To put it bluntly, the sun's almost crazy defense has forced Lin Xing to have only two ways to go.

One is to pass the ball, and the other is to shoot the gun against the clip defense at medium and long distances.

To put it more bluntly, the current Lin Xing can't Zhanhua, he has to find a way to be scientific in order to solve the immediate crisis.

But from Zhanhua to Kehua, how can it be so easy?These are basically two styles of players.

Lin Xing shook his head, he had no other choice.

"Next game, I'll try the pick-and-roll."

"Pick and roll? Maybe it's a way..."

……

As if to prove how accurate Lin Xing's prediction was, after a day's rest, the second battle between the Supersonics and the Nuggets began.

Kemp was locked up again, and he made only 11 of 3 shots.

In this game, the home field advantage also failed to help the Sonics.

The Nuggets played a perfect offense, Reggie Williams scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

穆大叔更是10投7中得到19分13个篮板6个大帽,直接把禁区变成了禁飞区。

In addition to these two, the Nuggets also had four players who scored in double figures.

In this way, with a score of 110 to 93, the Nuggets pulled back a victory.

Seeing Pei Wuxin lose the game, Lin Xing felt very happy.

But when he turned his head and thought of himself, he couldn't help feeling worried again——

"The next game Barkley is on edge, what should I do?"

Worrying and worrying, the second game of the series is here.

It was still the first battle at the Oakland Stadium. Compared with G1, the two teams have not changed much.

On the Warriors' side, the winning side certainly doesn't need to make changes.

On the Suns side, Paul Westphal has always believed that they lost more than ten points in G1.

If Barkley's performance is normal, they should win.

So before the game, he just forced a wave of chicken blood against Barkley.

"Charles, I don't want to emphasize how badly you played last game,
But to be honest, in the last game, you really played like 'you are going to retire'.

I hope you can stand up in this game and play like the reigning MVP, can you do it, Charles? "

But after the game started, Paul Westphal found that this wave of chicken blood was useless.

At the beginning, Lin Xing still won the jump ball.

Then in the first wave of offense, Lin Xing made a change.

He asked for a pick-and-roll from Tyrone Hill, but the quality of the pick-and-roll turned out to be poor, comparable to that of the smart Wiseman.

Barkley evaded the screen directly, and Oliver Miller also stood still and defended against Lin Xing.

After a pick-and-roll, Lin Xing faced the Suns' defense directly.

Oliver Miller also waved his hands to prevent Linxing from passing the ball to the down-slow Tyrone Hill.

Lin Xing actually wanted to spread his hands: "Damn it, the pick-and-roll is for you to help me fend off the defender, not for me to help you absorb all the defense..."

What is it called?This is called picking up a rock and hitting one's own foot, and the shoveled soil directly smeared one's face.

Really... a word, Gan!One word, Fk!

At the beginning, Lin Xing played two pick-and-rolls in a row, confirming one point——

Pick-and-roll or something, he should not even think about it.

On the one hand, the Warriors really haven't practiced the pick-and-roll routine much, and they are very unfamiliar with it.

On the other hand, with the small frame of Tyrone Hill, the pick-and-roll?Don't make things difficult for him.

As for Langley coming up to make the wall, considering that the opponent is the Sun who is also about to hit the whirlwind, Langley's coming up will only have a side effect.

There is no pick-and-roll, the game is going on, and it is back to the rhythm of G1.

The slight difference is that Barkley dared to play a lot more than G1. He continued to post up in high positions, hit the middle distance, and then turned over and made jump shots.

Relying on this trick, they scored 6 points in a row in the first quarter.

As for the Warriors, although Lin Xing was severely blocked.

But after all, he involved most of the Suns' defense.

The Warriors' teammates got more space because of this.

After the first quarter of the game, 30 to 29, the Warriors still led by 1 point.

But compared with G1, the score is even more deadly.

In the second quarter, after the two sides changed players, the Suns even overtook the score.

In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Xing played for a while with a substitute.

In the face of tight defense, he is still a bit lacking in scoring.

Yang Wu and Shuang Ping shook their heads in all kinds of explanations: "The Suns' defense is too aimed at Dalin, and Dalin can't play at all!"

"It can only be said that the head coach on the opposite side knows very well that Dalin is the key to the Warriors!"

Over at NBC, Matt Gutica is shaking his head too—

"It's useless against the defense. Although Star has tried his best, I have to admit that this is the gap between him and a real superstar."

Super giant, capable of being double-teamed, that is the basic requirement.

If you can't do it even with double teams, then you are an ordinary superstar.

Gudica pointed out this point, but groom Albert spread his hands: "No way, Matt, you don't really think of Starbucks as a superstar, do you? He's just a rookie!"

Just this sentence reminded Gudica: "Yeah, he is just a rookie!"

"And it's a very young rookie. His future is not only bright, but also very big."

"Give him a little more time to grow up..."

In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Xing led the team alone, digging a hole for the Warriors.

At halftime, the Warriors trailed by 57 points 61-4.

There are not many behind, so in the second half, the two sides still played as usual, and there was still no change.

No, there are still changes.

In the first half, Lin Xing was defended and only scored 7 points, although he had 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

But this data is still not enough.

Looking at the other side, Barkley seemed to be getting better, and Lin Xing immediately had the urge to feel that life is hard for me, so don't even think about it if you step on a horse.

So soon, the second half started, and Lin Xing began to focus on defense.

Barkley still played a bit weakly, because the egg hurts.

It's also because Lin Xing's strength is so great that he can match him and be on par with him.

He didn't dare to hit the back like he usually does, and he hits from a high position to the basket.

He only dared to take two steps, and then began to look for opportunities to make a move.

All kinds of medium and long-range jump shots are not stable at all.

In the third quarter, Lin Xing stepped up the strength of the defense and directly defended against Barkley's explosive iron.

After 5 for 0, Barkley directly gave away the Suns' advantage.

In this way, at the end of the three quarters, the Warriors and the Suns reached an 85-85 tie.

The real decisive battle is in the fourth quarter.

"The playoffs are the playoffs, it's too intense."

During the break between festivals, both sides are actively and nervously making adjustments.

For the Warriors, Old Nelson decided to take the ball from Lin Xing and hand it over to Xiao Chong and Madman.

Lin Xing has no objection either. Now he would rather hold the ball less.

"I only scored 11 points at the end of the three quarters. If we continue to play at this pace, it will be difficult to score 20 points!"

If you want to score 20 points, you can no longer control the ball with one muscle.

Appropriately giving the ball out and letting teammates help take away a little defense is the correct way to deal with it.

So in the fourth quarter, Lin Xingyi turned into an off-ball player.

He put most of his energy on the defensive end.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, I don't know whether it was courageous or forced by the situation, Barkley suddenly got excited.

He called for a pick-and-roll and went straight to the basket.

Even though Lin Xing bypassed the screen and got in front of him again, Barkley still kept going.

But when he rushed to the basket against Lin Xing and jumped up.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Xing jumped up, stretched out his long arms, and pushed Barkley down with a single slap.

The Oakland Stadium was full of exclamations, and after confirming that it was a good cap, the exclamation turned into a roar.

"Big hat on the front, Stella continues to block Charles Barkley."

"At the beginning of the second half, Charles Barkley took 6 shots and missed all of them!"

"Star's defense has begun to exert strength..."

When a top rebounder, a near top shot blocker, and a top single defender start focusing on defense, his defense will become very scary.

Lin Xing blocked Barkley, which became a key winner in the fourth quarter.

Barkley misfired, and the Suns' offensive pressure was all piled on Kevin Johnson.

Then, when the Warriors attacked, Xiao Chong and the Madman played a duet.

With Lin Xing holding back most of the defense, they scored consecutively.

In two or three minutes, the Warriors played a 3-7 spurt.

Then, Paul Westphal called for a timeout.

He noticed that the Warriors had shifted their focus of attack. Although Lin Xing was a great threat, Xiao Chong and Madman were no different.

With Lin Xing on one side and Xiao Chong and Madman on the other, Westphal was in trouble.

Difficulties are difficulties, and adjustments cannot be slow.

Faced with the threat of a completely widening score, after the timeout, the Suns could only shift the focus of defense.

As soon as the sun's defensive focus moved away, Lin Xing couldn't wait.

He caught the ball in the corner, ran over Barkley in one step, rushed to the basket, and directly dunked a big windmill dunk that turned over.

With a bang, the enthusiasm of the entire Oakland Stadium was directly ignited.

After the heavy dunk landed, Lin Xing beat his chest and let out a wolf king's roar. He was venting his frustration over the past three quarters.

Taking advantage of the sun shifting the focus of defense, Lin Xing suddenly exploded, hitting four balls in a row, two dunks breaking through the basket, and two mid-range shots.

A total of 4 of 3 scored 6 points in a wave, forcing Paul Westphal to call another timeout.

But this timeout is basically the last struggle of the Suns.

Because relying on Xiao Chong and Madman's burst, followed by Lin Xing's burst, the Warriors have already widened the score gap to double digits.

"The Warriors attacked more, and the Suns' defense eventually went wrong."

In the commentary seat, Matt Gutica shook his head.

A two-digit score difference can basically declare Sun's death sentence.

While groom Albert nodded in agreement, he made another key point:

"More importantly, the Suns' own offense has misfired."

"These two games, Charles Barkley played too badly..."

Barkley played really badly. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors had already confidently used Lin Xing to one-on-one with Barkley, and the focus of defense was all on the front.

This led to Kevin Johnson's offense not working, and after a few failed attempts, he could only hand the ball to Barkley.

As a result, Barkley faced Lin Xing's single defense and made all kinds of misses.

On the sidelines, Paul Westphal spread his hands and almost asked directly: "Charles, are you playing negatively by stepping on the horse?"

Barkley is actually very helpless, he is really working hard.

If Westphal really wanted to ask, he would definitely reply:
"I really didn't play passively. If you don't believe me, go back and watch the video!"

In any case, in G2 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Warriors won directly with a wave of explosions in the final quarter.

"The decisive victory at the end of the quarter, in the end, the Warriors are even better!"

"With a total score of 2 to 0, the Phoenix people are already standing on the edge of a cliff."

You know, the first round of the playoffs in the 93-94 season was still a five-game three-win system.

This means that the Warriors are only short of the last victory from the promotion.

It is not too much to say that the sun is standing on the edge of the cliff.

After the game, on the sidelines, Paul Westphal, who stood on the edge of the cliff, broke the defense a bit.

He spread his hands towards Barkley who came down from the court, as if, what the hell is going on with you stepping on the horse.

Speaking of this game, it was really Barkley who was alone.

At the end of the first half, the Suns still had the advantage.

Barkley also made 13 of 6 shots and scored 14 points in the half, playing normally.

But starting from the second half, Barkley's offense went wrong and he missed consecutive shots.

In the third quarter, it was 5 for 0, and in the fourth quarter, it was 6 for 2. In the second half, it was 11 for 2, giving back all the advantages in the first half.

No, it's not enough to send them all back, we have to build a little more.

This is Barkley, the head of the Suns!

Still the same sentence, if the Suns' leading stars play like this, if the Suns can win, there will be ghosts.

Paul Westphal spreads his hands, Barkley spreads his hands too.

He really didn't play passively, he was really working hard, if you don't believe me, watch the video!
On the other side, as soon as the game is over, Lin Xing will come with a statistics.

"Tomato, the score really didn't exceed 20 points!"

In the fourth quarter, Lin Xing scored 6 points in a row, and then was held down by a timeout by Paul Westphal.

After the game, he only scored 2 points.

In the whole game, he scored 19 points in total, just one point short of 20 points.

Look at the shooting again, 18 of 8 shots, 44.4% shooting rate, barely qualified for a point guard.

In addition to scoring, Lin Xing also had 14 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. He almost got another triple-double.

The data looks okay, but Lin Xing knows that if this performance continues until the playoffs.

I'm afraid that those media reporters in the NBA who don't deal with him are about to shoot.

"We still have to find a way to adjust!"

Although Lin Xing's efficiency is much worse, at least the Warriors still have two consecutive victories, leading their opponents 2-0.

There is only one victory away from the promotion.

Therefore, the public opinion after the game was mostly flattery.

For example, the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out that-

"In the second half, Starbucks defended well, and the Warriors won in a wave!"

The translation is, why can the Warriors win?Because Lin Xing's defense is awesome!

And Bill Simmons of the Boston Herald, who is leaving soon and whose main job is now writing the column.

As soon as the game was over, he wrote a column analyzing why Barkley was defended so badly by Lin Xing.

"Judging from the rookie's physical test data, Star's physical talent can be called the top in NBA history. His height is the height of a forward, his speed is the speed of a guard, and his strength is also the strength of a forward.

According to those opponents who have confronted Star University, now Star University is close to the height of a center forward, and his strength is already that of a center forward, but his speed is still that of a defender..."

"On the other hand, what does Charles Barkley depend on for his survival in the NBA? It's his strength beyond ordinary people, and his outstanding speed and agility as a power forward.

But the problem is that Barkley's strength is on par with Star's. His speed and agility are slightly worse than Star's, and his height is crushed by Star. "

"Simply put, Barkley's problem is still a problem of physical confrontation..."

……

The sun left Oakland just after sunrise the day after the game.

Paul Westphal was unaware of Bill Simmons' analysis.

At this time, he still believed that Barkley was playing negatively.

So on the plane, he found Barkley and decided to chat with Barkley.

"Charles, you and I both know how important the playoffs are."

"Last year we reached the finals together. Are we going to play in the first round this year?"

Westphal spread his hands, but before he finished speaking, Barkley immediately followed him and interrupted him:
"Wait, Paul, I know what you mean, but really, Paul, I really tried my best."

"Sta is a pervert, a complete pervert. In terms of confrontation, he is stronger than me. Do you think he is not a pervert?"

"You have also seen his defense. I don't know about the help defense. The single defense is too good. I can't beat him, I really can't beat him..."

To put it bluntly, Barkley and Lin Xing are very similar.

He is also the kind of player who plays towards the basket. He can shoot mid-range and long-range jump shots, but he is really not that accurate.

Especially once Lin Xing's defensive strength increases, Barkley will die.

"I have already said, Paul, give me the pick and roll, I want to avoid him, it is best to avoid him together with the defensive end!"

Originally, Paul Westphal was going to throw the blame on Barkley, but Barkley's words directly threw the blame back.

While Westphal was helpless, he also had to admit that what Barkley said seemed to be correct.

Or, just according to what he said, give it a try?
……

The Warriors are also preparing to set off for Phoenix.

But the difference is that they had a chance to end the battle and changed their original itinerary plan.

They decided that starting on the day of the game, it would be best to return to the Bay Area early the next morning after a battle.

During the few days between the games, they can stay in the Bay Area and think about how to play G3.

Although it is still the same sentence, the winning side really does not need to make changes.

Old Nelson got some inspiration from the final battle of G2.

"Sta was heavily defended. Although he broke the line of defense very well, his passing was not so good. Perhaps, we should increase the time that Tim and Latrier hold the ball..."

Although he wanted to reduce his possession of the ball, Lin Xing clapped his hands in favor.

The game in the final quarter of G2 has proved that if the Suns want to shift the focus of defense away, his teammates have to stand up first.

These days in the Bay Area, the Warriors followed this line of thinking and practiced one pass.

Then, his eyes were fixed on the other matchups in the playoffs.

What Lin Xing and Xiaochong are most concerned about is the Sonics vs. Nuggets series. G3 still started before the Warriors' G3.

Already lost a home SuperSonics, went to the Nuggets home.

Judging from the data after the game, Kemp is normal.

15 of 7 shots, 16 points and 13 rebounds, isn't that normal?

But sometimes, data is really deceiving.

On the offensive end, Kemp is normal.

On the defensive end, he missed it all.

Raffonso Ellis, who was against him, went crazy.

He made 20 of 10 shots, scored 27 points and 17 rebounds, and beat Kemp in the matchup.

Relying on Lafonso Ellis' matchup to explode, the Nuggets won another game.

"The Supersonics are really going out, aren't they?"

Both Lin Xing and Xiaochong were very surprised.

But when he turned around, Lin Xing dialed Peyton's phone, and it was just a mockery——

"Gary, you really broke your promise!"

"Break what you say? How can I not keep what I say?"

Payton thought that Lin Xing was talking about the bet in the final game of the regular season, so he continued to play dumb.

Who knew that Lin Xing said: "See you in the second round of the playoffs as promised? Why are you getting eliminated soon? Hahahahaha!"

On the phone side, Lin Xing and Xiao Chong laughed heartily.

On the other side of the phone, Pei Wuxin got impatient and hung up the phone.

Because of the addition of Lin Xing, in this life, the Supersonics are no longer number one in the West.

If they were really hacked by the Nuggets, they would be Black Seven.

As far as black sevens are concerned, there are still some in the history of the NBA, but not many.

The first Black Seven in 87 was created by the Supersonics.

But this time, they are about to become the created.

In addition to Payton's side, Lin Xing also paid attention to the other first-round matchups of the playoffs.

The first is the Rockets. Like the Warriors, they lead their opponents 2-0.

The difference is that in the two victories, they were crushed.

It can be said that there is a high probability that they will sweep the Blazers and enter the next round.

Jazz vs. Spurs, the admiral would like to back up once, and then hit Malone back.

But in this playoffs, it was as if he really suffered the backlash of scoring 73 points in the final game of the season.

In the second game, the general's performance still did not improve. He only made 21 of 7 shots and scored only 16 points.

The Spurs also suffered a disastrous defeat, trailing the Jazz 0-2.

Although the third battle won a victory, the overall public opinion is ridiculing the general.

"David Robinson put all his energy into the regular season."

"The god of war in the regular season, the soft-legged shrimp in the playoffs!"

"A god of war who won the scoring champion by scoring points in the last game of the season? Don't insult the god of war."

Looking at the situation and the public opinion, Lin Xing also understood that he didn't need to take off his pants to compare his length with the general.

In the east, Lin Xing paid less attention.

The main reason is that there is no Danzi in the east this year, which is really almost meaningless.

But in the past two days, two things happened in the east, which attracted Lin Xing's attention.

One thing is that the Western Conference is in full swing. Even the Rockets vs. Trail Blazers, who have the biggest gap, have not yet decided the winner.

In the East, one team has already been eliminated.

The one who was eliminated was none other than magic.

Their opponent is the Pacers, a tepid Pacers in the regular season.

It stands to reason that the Magic ranks higher and is more favored.

But the result was that this round, Reggie Miller went crazy.

In three games, he averaged 29 points per game and 2.3 three-pointers per game. With a bunch of blue-collars, he directly blasted the Magic.

As for the Magic, the shark was trapped in the shark-slashing tactic, and the real power of the shark could not be brought into play.

Ambitious, wanting to prove his penny in the playoffs, he scored 18+7+7, and averaged 1.7 steals and 2.0 blocks per game.

But if you can't prevent Miller, it will be nothing.

After being eliminated by the Pacers in three straight games, the media in Orlando couldn't help it.

"Why didn't Stud trade Stark?"

"If there is Star University, can Reggie Miller be so rampant?"

"Look at Stadt's defense against Charles Barkley, and then look at Penny's defense. What is a gap? This is called a gap!"

Regarding this public opinion, Lin Xing really wanted to ask: Why is there me everywhere?Do I have a clone when I step on a horse?
Another thing, should actually be two things.

The attention is not that high, but speaking of it, it has something to do with Lin Xing.

The first is the first round of the playoffs between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, and the process went smoothly.

Although it was certified by Lin Xing as a pseudo-strong team, the bull's ability to abuse vegetables is still quite strong.

What they abused was the knight.

Don't look at the Cavaliers also entered the playoffs, but it was brought in when Brad Doherty played 50 games and averaged 17+10+3 per game.

In the second half of the season, Doherty left the basketball court due to a back injury.

never came back after that...

Without Doherty, only Mark Price is left to lead the team. Isn't the Cavaliers just a vegetable?
The result was this round of abusive playoffs. Lin Xing's old teammate, Byron Russell, staged a wave of performances that can be called Lin Xing's well-educated performances.

In a defense, he directly hit Mark Price who broke through him with an egg.

Then, he was sent off by the referee with a whistle.

Followed by the Knicks vs. Nets in the first round of the playoffs, the process is also very smooth.

Without Danzi, the strength of the Knicks, although not number one on the Eastern Fault, is definitely the most stable.

After abusing the Nets, it is still very stable.

But in this round of the series, another old teammate of Lin Xing, Lucios Harris, staged another wave of Lin Xing's well-taught performance.

The inscription broke through, and he directly gave John Starks, who was defending him, a bouncing blow.

Then, like Russell, he was sent off by the referee.

As for the two operations of these two people, Lin Xing was dumbfounded: You two, did you discuss it?
He also received a call from Seth Greenberg. Greenberg's original words were: "It's all because of your good teaching, Sta."

Lin Xing was stunned, and could only reply: "Damn, what does it have to do with me!"

Still the same sentence, why is there me everywhere...?
Lin Xing's participation rate is really a bit high.

Eight playoff games, from the Sonics vs Nuggets, Warriors vs Suns, Spurs vs Jazz, to Knicks vs Nets, Bulls vs Cavaliers and Magic vs Pacers in the East.

All six games had something to do with Lin Xing.

The participation rate is as high as 75%!
