I really play basketball

Chapter 152
The opening game was a wave of 8 to 2. Pat Riley stood on the sidelines and spread his hands helplessly.

He is really helpless. Ordinarily, with the Knicks' defense, it should be easy to lock a scorer whose main score comes from the basket, who is very accurate from the mid-range but not the top-notch, and who can shoot from outside the three-point line but has an average shooting percentage.

But what happened?Lin Xing opened with 6 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Not only did he fail to guard against it, but Lin Xing even killed him.

Riley believes that his defensive arrangement and tactical response are all right.

There is no problem with tactics, it is obvious where the problem is.

Anthony Mason has a problem with his defensive attitude, he is limp, and he dare not make any moves.

You know, this is the 90s, the era when defense can be played casually.

Including Oakley's defense, it is too clean compared to usual.

Riley shook his head. He understood what the problem was.

But the game was just getting started, and he wasted a timeout idea before the game even started.

He could only stand on the sidelines, screaming, and began to use sonic attacks.

However, the target of the attack was not Lin Xing, but Anthony Mason.

"Anthony, can you step on the horse harder, can you be harder?"

Mason didn't respond yet, but Lin Xing turned to the sidelines and threw a question mark over.

Has the Bible taught by Du spread so widely?The last time he heard this call was the last time.

In the next offensive round of the Warriors, Mason is the man on the left and right.

On one side is the pressure from Pat Riley on the side, and on the other side is the pressure from Lin Xing from the front.

For a moment, he really didn't know how to choose.

Riley yelled loudly on the sidelines, and Mason reluctantly took a step forward.

But at this step, Lin Xing turned around and broke through, swung his arm, and directly elbowed Mason.

There was a muffled bang, but the referee turned a blind eye.

It's not that Lin Xing has any privileges, but that this degree of elbow is really normal in the current NBA.

If every elbow of this magnitude calls a foul, the game is over.

Even the victim, Anthony Mason, just rubbed his chest in pain.

Turning around, he watched Lin Xing go all the way to the basket, dodged Oakley's supplementary defense, and made a light layup.

"Star has already scored 8 points in a row, and the Knicks can't stop him at all..."

Spike Lee, who was dressed as Santa Claus on the sidelines, was also anxious when he saw Lin Xing wreaking havoc.

"Think of a way, Pat, it really doesn't work, just call a timeout!"

Pause is impossible to suspend, Riley knows that this game will be played very anxiously.

Those timeouts, he has to save them for critical moments.

Without a timeout, the Knicks frantically played another wave of offense, and Ewing attracted the defense in the middle.

Starks, who was interspersed under the basket, received the ball and made a layup, finally scoring the first goal of the game.

As soon as the goal was scored, the score jumped, 10 to 4!

Just looking at the score, the Knicks really haven't reached a very critical moment.

After all, they were only 6 points behind.

The point difference at the beginning of the game looked scary, but if the score is still the same after a while, it will not be so scary.

In the final analysis, there is only a gap of 3 goals.

Another round for the Warriors, this time without Riley.

Spike Lee stood on the sidelines, jumping up and down and yelling at Anthony Mason.

His voice was not loud, completely overwhelmed by Madison's boos, Lin Xing really couldn't hear what he was saying.

However, in this wave of offense, Mason's defense was visibly hardened by the naked eye.

He stretched out his hand to restrain Lin Xing, and finally reached the intensity that Riley and the New York fans wanted.

Lin Xing's breakthrough has indeed become more difficult, but only a little bit more difficult.

This time, he chose to push forward, and while speeding up the hard squeeze, he secretly gave an elbow.

With a muffled bang, Mason let out a cry of pain and lost a step.

Lin Xing took advantage of the trend and accelerated to walk in. After three or two steps, he ran into Oakley's help defense.

But at this time, he had already charged, and he took an elbow step and continued to charge in.

Ewing saw it, this is not good, if he doesn't make another one, Lin Xing will score 10 points in a row.

Bite the bullet, the gorilla made it to the middle.

Seeing Lin Xing jumping up, he jumped up, raising his hand to interfere.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xing, who jumped up, stuffed the ball in with his low hand.

Behind Ewing, the old chief took off and buckled.

Bang!

"Stan scored another assist, but more importantly, the Warriors dunked another one."

"This time it was Robert Parish's heavy dunk at the basket. Who would have thought that the 41-year-old chief could dunk one on top of the gorilla?"

In the commentary booth, Matt Gutica gloated.

On the court, the gorilla is also helpless.

Lin Xing messed up the Knicks' perimeter defense by himself. As a center, he really had nothing to do.

I can't, he will do the task of defending to the middle distance, right?
12 to 4, Riley is still enduring.

Turning around the Knicks' wave of offense, Ewing scored another 2 points in the middle distance.

12 to 6, Riley felt that he could endure longer.

But in the next round, Lin Xing still held the ball.

In this game, he didn't know what happened, he suddenly didn't like passing the ball, and he didn't like playing pick-and-rolls anymore.

Single-minded, just want to score.

It would be best if the teammates could all pull away to give him the space to play singles with sticks.

To put it bluntly, Lin Xing still remembers the fight last season and the unfinished business of conquering Madison.

This wave of attack is still the same, although Gatlin puts up and gives a cover.

Lin Xing pretended to walk in, but actually retreated.

Not only the opponent, but even Gatlin was shaken by Lin Xing.

After stepping back, he shot a three-point jumper without any interference.

Swish-!
Seeing three points in the bag, the score jumped, 15 to 6.

On the sidelines, Riley couldn't take it anymore.

"Pause Pause!"

Ran to the sidelines and called the first timeout of the game.

There is no need to say more about the timeout, and Riley can't make any adjustments. He can only scold Anthony Mason.

"Asen, be tougher, can you be tougher!"

"Can you step on the horse harder..."

As smart as Riley, of course he saw the reason why Mason played so cowardly.

"Don't be afraid of him. This is Madison Square Garden. This game is a Christmas game. No matter how tyrannical Stalin is, he will not be in Madison Square Garden, and he will not fight this game."

"He also has to worry about that old man in the stands!"

In this game, David Stern was sitting in the stands, which is why he is very confident that this game will not be played.

He has supervised the battle on the spot, and if he can still fight on the court, he, the president of the league, will not be taken seriously.

Fighting is impossible. Riley's words also successfully solved Anthony Mason.

"That's right, we didn't dare to do anything in this match, and he didn't dare to do it either. Isn't that just comparing whose elbows are harder and who's tricks are more shady? We are New York gangsters, who can compare to us!"

With this belief, Anthony Mason set foot on the court again.

On the court, Lin Xing remained the same.

But he found that Mason's eyes had changed, the fierceness remained the same, but he dared to look at Lin Xing.

"Hehe, this guy suddenly became courageous. It looks like that old fox Pat Riley said something."

Riley, an old fox, is quite good at brainwashing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one who formed the first top three giants.

"On the thief ship, Mason..."

After the timeout, the Knicks launched a wave of offense.

Ewing wanted to rest for a while, so he waved his hand and rejected Derek Harper's pass.

Ewing didn't have to play this point. Starks, Riley also told him just now, don't pass the ball to him if it's not wide open.

Oakley's offense is nothing.

Derek Harper looked at Lin Xing who was standing in front of him again, and stopped thinking about it, and waved at Anthony Mason.

When Mason came out, he passed the ball directly to Mason.

Mason received the ball, saw that Mullin was guarding him, and then thought about it carefully——

This opponent is a little faster than him, but his strength is too weak.

So he turned his back without hesitation, rolled Mu Lin and walked in.

Lin Xing saw that Mu Lin couldn't defend himself. After thinking for a second, he saw that Mason really went in.

He let go of Derek Harper without any hesitation, and rushed forward with a stride.

On the front, Mason has completely crushed Mullin, turned around and was about to send the ball to the basket.

But Lin Xing came out from the oblique stab and aimed at the basketball sideways.

With a "snap", a big hat.

boom!
Madison exclaimed, but Lin Xing fell to the ground, beat his chest, and roared amidst the exclamation.

"Sta is too hard, too hard, too hard!"

Matt Gutica repeated it three times in a row, but Madison booed at this moment.

Lin Xing didn't pay attention to these things, hiss, where hadn't he heard of it?

Although New York is a big city, the booing of a big city is no different from that of a small city.

Just as he turned around and was about to invest in the defense for the last few seconds, there was an overwhelming sound in the audience——

"Fxxk, Star!"

"Fxxk, Star!"

"..."

Lin Xing was a little dazed by the tidy curses all over the sky.

He scratched his head, but his first reaction was: Nephew Yang, I really didn't want to steal your status as a New York celebrity!
Who would have thought that Lin Xing, who fought in the 90s, would take the lead in becoming the famous New York star Falk Star, earlier than Reggie Miller, let alone Trey Young.

As far as the New York fans shouted, Lin Xing felt that if he didn't work hard to beat Madison, he would be sorry for these New York fans.

He even thought of the celebration when the game was over.

This wave, it is true that New York fans reminded him.

……

In the last four seconds of the Knicks' attack, Starks scored a three-pointer, but of course he missed it.

In the next Warriors offense, Lin Xing, who was in a hot state at the beginning, pulled his hips a wave.

In the middle distance, he shot against Oakley's help defense, but with a bang, he missed.

Madison burst into cheers, but Lin Xing felt indifferent.

Lost only one, who can hit every shot?
(A certain little giant: I can...)
Lin Xing even felt that the ball he dropped was actually raising pigs scientifically.

If he doesn't lose again, the game will lose its suspense at halftime.

How can he score high points in a game that loses suspense at halftime?How could he beat Madison?

Lin Xing lost one, turned around, and the Knicks looked for Anthony Mason again.

Seeing that Mu Lin was about to be abused again, Lin Xing couldn't bear to see him, so he waved his hands and switched defenses.

Mason saw that he was facing Lin Xing both offensively and defensively.

He was a little timid, but he also found an entry point.

Isn't it just an elbow? Who wouldn't?

He leaned against Lin Xing with his back, trying to push in.

Lin Xing's strength was about the same as his, so he barely pushed two steps.

Then he turned around and took an elbow.

boom!
With an elbow to clear the way, Mason turned around and was about to rush in.

Lin Xing's scream came from behind.

"what!"

After that, it was Lin Xing's complaint and protest: "I said Mr. Referee, don't worry about it, he gave me an elbow..."

Mason didn't pay attention to Lin Xing's complaint behind him, he even found it ridiculous——

Lin Xing was obviously the one who moved the elbow first, so why would the villain sue first?
But at the moment he raised his hand for a layup, the referee blew his whistle with a beep.

Mason was stunned, turned around slowly, and what he saw was the referee Dick Bavita's gesture for an offensive foul.

Then, on the sidelines, Pat Riley also spread his hands and complained, expressing his confusion.

Then, there were boos from Madison and insults against the referee.

In addition to Faklin star, New York fans started Fak Dick Bavita again.

Dick Bavita is also helpless, but he has received an order to prevent this game from being staged full of martial arts.

He is also hard-headed. Last season, the two teams met twice, and they fought twice.

What does this mean? It means that these two teams are real enemies!
If he wanted to stop his enemies from fighting each other, he had to start by cutting off the source.

Bavita knew that Lin Xing had a promise never to strike first.

He also knew that Lin Xing was a person who kept his promises.

Therefore, Bavita's strategy is to stare at the New York gangsters and not give them any chance to do anything.

As long as the Gangs of New York don't do it, there will be no hands in this game.

But in the end, an accident happened...

Lin Xing protested that Mason moved his elbow. In fact, Mason did move his elbow.

Dick Bavita smelled a little bit, and he felt that Lin Xing just wanted to find a haircut.

If this elbow is really not blown, the smell of gunpowder in this game will be out of control later.

An offensive foul made Anthony Mason suffer.

But at the same time, he also confirmed that Lin Xing really didn't dare to do anything.

"Hehe, I dare to sue a little bit, how cowardly..."

Anthony Mason sneered and turned around to defend.

Next, Mason's defense was also full of strength.

Cooperating with the Knicks' overall false defense, it created a lot of difficulties for Lin Xing.

But on the whole, Lin Xing, who has an extra accurate mid-range shot this season, played very comfortably.

He couldn't get in the penalty area, and his shooting percentage from outside the three-point line was not stable, but the mid-range shot was okay.

Oakley's defense was not so timely after all.

Moreover, Lin Xing also has Gatlin's better and better pick-and-roll screens.

The Knicks, on the other hand, originally had only Ewing's inside singles, Starks' desperate three-pointers, and Anthony Mason's post-ups.

At most, add the singles of role players such as Derek Harper, Charles Smith, and Hubert Davis.

Now, Starks is not working, and Ewing's physical fitness does not support him to hold on for a whole game.

Anthony Mason can press Mullin, but Lin Xing is not an opponent at all when he can't move his elbow.

Relying on Harper, substitute Charles Smith, and Hubert Davis to stand up and score.

You can imagine how bad the Knicks' offense is.

At the end of halftime, the Warriors led the Knicks by 51 points with a score of 42 to 9.

In the halftime, Lin Xing, who was fully fired, scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. He was only short of the second half of the game from beating Madison.

Because Lin Xing's performance was too good, Madison's voice of "Fax big" was heard endlessly.
