I really play basketball

Chapter 157 The decisive moment
The mid-range shot is very metaphysical, especially the mid-range shot with a lean back.

This thing is metaphysical. Sometimes you try your best to interfere, and you almost poke your opponent's eyes with your hands. You think you should guard against it now, right?

Hey, he just can't stop...

Sometimes there is no interference in the mid-range shot, and you feel that you are finished.

Hey, it just didn't go in, it just hit the iron...

To put it bluntly, the fadeaway mid-range shot doesn't look at the defense at all, it just looks at the feel and state of the shooter.

Therefore, whether it is the past, the present, or even how many years later in the small ball era, the mid-range shot is the sharpest spear on the basketball court.

The most accurate description of CIC should be the four classic letters - YYDS.

In the opening game, Lin Xing faced multiple people to help defend, and the defense of multiple people flanked him and hit a mid-range shot. George Karl was a little flustered.

He was afraid of Lin Xing's shot, so he got into the state.

Lin Xing really wants to shoot with feel and state.

No matter how tight the defense is, it will not work.

He had arranged so many things before the game, so he had to tear them all down and start over.

On the sidelines, George Karl scratched his head, and immediately overthrew and started over, but it wasn't going to happen.

What if Lin Xing was deceived?
On the field, the Sonics have launched their offense.

Generally speaking, the supersonic attack is relatively strong in counterattack.

In positional warfare, they lack a powerful explosive point to tear apart and tear apart the opponent's defense.

Without a counterattack, they were a little blinded by the fight.

In the frontcourt, Payton broke through Lin Xing.

Although the Warriors don't have any defensive targets, Payton thinks too much about such a single defense against Lin Xing.

In the NBA these days, defense can be mastered, and Lin Xing can use his body to suppress Payton.

As a result, Payton was forced to stop by Lin Xing within two steps.

He was quite unbelievable when he was forced to stop, he stopped on the spot, and his first reaction when he turned around and leaned against Lin Xing was not to pass the ball.

Instead, he turned around and glanced at the basket, and then turned around and shot a jumper.

Bang!

Lin Xing could tell that Payton really wanted to brag about himself with this ball.

But it's the level of shooting that's a little off.

Taking the basketball from Longley who grabbed the rebound, Lin Xing accelerated to control the frontcourt.

Then it started from Payton's ball and started spraying.

"Why do you still shoot a mid-range shot against the defense, Gary?"

Payton tilted his head: "Can't I vote?"

"If you can make a shot, of course you can, but you can't make a shot..."

If he didn't control the ball, he really wanted to give up on the spot.

"Give you a piece of advice..."

"what?"

"It's not something you're good at, so don't touch it."

This sentence immediately mocked Laman.

Payton's face changed, and he turned his head and began to defend to the extreme.

In the 90s, he was good at defense, as well as offense, without too many scruples.

It's like fighting against the Knicks on Christmas Day, Lin Xing was fine with throwing his elbow before the villain first sued.

In this wave of attack, even though there were thousands of mountains and thousands of waters in front of him, Lin Xing forcibly rolled over Peyton and went away through mountains and rivers.

In the middle, he encountered siege again.

After hesitating for a second, Lin Xing still raised his hand and shot.

Of course he knows that if the ball is scored by teammates, teammates can score.

But looking at the supersonic speed, it means that regardless of his opponent, he must be locked up.

Lin Xing is willing to go into the sewer, but he doesn't want to go into the sewer of Jason Kidd.

At the very least, he must be a tortoise, right?
But for this ball, there was interference from Payton on the side, and interference from Schramf who came up from the defense on the front.

One-to-two, with a bang, the goal was missed.

Competing for rebounds at the basket, the first reaction of the Warriors and Sam Perkins was to get stuck.

But Sean Kemp is not the one who is stuck in the position. He jumped up with a few beeps and grabbed the rebound.

Turn around and start to accelerate.

The Supersonics played the first wave of counterattack in this game. Although the Warriors retreated very slowly, after all...

What the Supersonics ate was the counterattack. They still found a gap between the Warriors' retreat.

Kemp, who grabbed the rebound, went to Payton first, and Payton rushed directly.

Against Lin Xing's defense, it was difficult for him to play, and finally gave the ball to Kendall Gill on one side.

Kendall Gill also had to face the madman's marking, but outside the three-point line, he raised his hand and flew the madman.

Immediately afterwards, it restarted and killed a few steps inside.

Because it was a counterattack, the Warriors didn't have an inside line, so Jill rushed in and made a successful throw.

In this way, 2 to 2 draw, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

Turning around the Warriors' offense, Lin Xing didn't believe in evil, shaking the outside, and pulled out a three-pointer with both backs.

Bang!

Hearing the sound of this fine iron, Lin Xing believed in evil this time.

"Today's hand feeling needs to be cultivated for a while."

Lin Xing's style is generally reasonable.

But the reasonable reason is that he wants to learn from Kobe's irrationality, so he must have that ability?

Why can Kobe play so unreasonably?Because he has the killer move of the fadeaway jumper.

Lin Xing can also shoot backward jumpers, but the backward jumper without the blessing of the badge is still a little bit interesting.

Generally, when Lin Xing encounters poor hand feeling, he will switch to the Azhan style anti-hip pull mode.

But in this game, Lin Xing felt that he could still observe and observe.

Turning around to defend, Payton also scored a three-pointer.

Lin Xing couldn't hold back, and sneered: "Don't forget my advice, Gary, it's not something you're good at, so don't touch it."

Unexpectedly, Peyton retorted: "Don't talk about me, didn't you even lose two, you should tell yourself this!"

When Lin Xing heard Peyton's rebuttal, he immediately put a question mark on his face.

If he was not still in control of the ball, he really wanted to scratch his head and ask:
"Brother, please take a look at what defense you are facing, and what defense I am facing."

From beginning to end, Payton faced Lin Xing's single defense.

Conversely, what Lin Xing faced was always supersonic multiplayer defense.

This means that the treatment of defense does not pass, if the treatment of defense is the same...

Emmm, Lin Xing thinks that the Warriors don't need to pinch Payton.

The reason, Payton is not worthy.

And if the supersonic speed does not clamp anti-Lin Xing?Then Lin Xing is impolite, he will start a killing spree.

It's a pity that in this wave of offense, Lin Xing is still facing supersonic layers of defense.

Although he is not going to switch directly to Azhan's anti-hip mode, Lin Xing has already thought about passing the ball.

When breaking through, he was looking for the position of his teammates.

Going in one step, he saw Detlef Schramf coming up to help defend, and also saw Mullin with a wide open space on one side.

Without even thinking about it, he jumped up from the middle distance and passed the ball with a flick of his hand.

But in the next second, Kendall Gill appeared in front of Mullin.

When Mullin catches and shoots, Jill pounces on him and gives a solid distraction.

Bang!

"Fuck, does the Supersonic's defensive rotation so fast?"

It wasn't Lin Xing who was surprised, but Mu Lin.

In terms of eating Lin Xing's pie, he ranks second in the Warriors.

He thought the ball was stable, but in the end, he didn't expect Kendall Gill to rush up to make up the defense so quickly.

If he could think of it, he would definitely pass it on again in the first place.

The Supersonic's counterattack, the Warriors' retreat, this wave is Kemp, who caught the ball in the middle and went to the basket unstoppably, raised his hand and made a layup.

4 to 2, the Sonics took the lead.

Turning around, the Warriors' round, Lin Xing made another breakthrough pass.

But this time, he gave it directly.

Gatlin made a pick and roll and received a pass from Lin Xing.

Get out of Sam Perkins' not-so-tough supplementary defense and make a layup.

4 to 4, the two teams were evenly divided.

The difference is that this time the ball is in the hands of the Sonics.

There was no counterattack, and the Supersonics played very tangled.

Schramf shot a long two-pointer, which slammed out of the frame with a bang.

Lin Xing appeared under the basket, took off the rebound, and played a wave of counterattacks.

But under the counterattack, the supersonic's first reaction was to surround Lin Xing.

Lin Xing was helpless, and continued to pass on, this time looking for Mu Lin.

Mullin received the ball, stopped on the spot, wanted to chase a three-pointer, looked up and saw Kemp rushing up to defend.

He swayed, found that he didn't sway, and directly scored another ball to the madman who seemed to be open.

The madman went straight to the basket. Originally he was unmarked, but the moment he caught the ball, Payton made it up.

"The Supersonic's defensive rotation is too fast, isn't it?"

"The warrior's counterattack was actually blocked just like that..."

For three consecutive rounds, Lin Xing also passed for three rounds.

But in three rounds, he only scored one assist in total.

The failure of the other two rounds made him see that the Supersonics actually came prepared.

Supersonic speed is not a mindless pinch guard against Lin Xing.

George Karl has his confidence, and his quick rotation defense is his confidence.

"Should I say it or not, Crazy Karl is ahead of the times..."

Area pinch defense, quick rotation defense, coupled with catch counterattack, catch attack and defense transition style of play.

Isn't this how the Heat's Big Three will play in the future?It is exactly the same!
but……

"Being ahead of the times is not a good thing..."

Just like the Warriors, the old Nelson emphasized offense and ignored the tactical thinking of defense. In fact, he was also at the forefront of the times.

In the small ball era 30 years later, although defense is also emphasized.

But their emphasis on defense, like the current Warriors, is superficial.

There are still very few truly systematic defenses.

Most of the defenses are simple and direct matchups, plus unlimited defenses.

Compared with the small ball in the 30s, the Warriors also have fewer infinite defenses.

It's not that old Nelson couldn't think of it, it's that in this era, unlimited defense changes simply don't work.

Can you imagine, in this era where the inside is king, a small man who switches to a big center after a pick-and-roll?

For example, Lin Xing defends the outside line, one defense and one accuracy.

But asking him to switch against the four major centers, except for Ewing, the other three, isn't it just a gift?

The tactical thinking of the Warriors at the forefront of the times at this time is, to put it bluntly, a dead end.

But who let it be that their head coach is Old Nelson?Is it a mad scientist?

Again, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

The game is still going on, and the Warriors are playing very hard.

Lin Xing did it by himself, and it didn't feel good.

Divide the ball outward, and the Supersonic's rotation defense is too fast.

However, compared to doing it by yourself, you can always score a few by distributing the ball outside.

For example, he divided in and fed Gatlin a few pancakes, almost all of which were finished.

Supersonic's counterattack was smooth, but how many chances are there for counterattack?
There is no counterattack, and the Sonics' offense is not much different from that of the Knicks.

The offense on both sides was very difficult, and the game completely entered the pulling stage.

After a wave of offense, the Warriors took the lead.

Another wave of offense came, and the Supersonics broke back again.

In the next wave of offense, the Supersonics can go ahead.

But in the end, the Warriors were able to recover.

Crazy pulling, until the end of the first quarter, 23 to 22, the Warriors were still one point behind.

Looking at the score, it can be seen that the offense on both sides is a bit bad.

The contest between the offensive teams turned into a defensive battle, and there was no one else.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Xing sat on the bench, and he was finally able to rest for a while.

Speaking of the first quarter, he played really uncomfortable.

It has to be admitted that George Karl's strategy was successful.

Lin Xing, who was defending, was a little lost in the direction of the area clip defense combined with the fast rotation.

Sitting on the court, he covered his head with a towel, thought for a while, and made a decision——

"MD, I'll play later, let's go for a wave first!"

So, after half a quarter, Lin Xing came on stage.

He faced the defense and shot consecutive singles, as if he was crazy.

That's right, this time, he switched to Kobe mode.

In Kobe mode, he really is Kobe.

Bang, bang, bang...

Facing the defense of Payton and the Supersonic, Lin Xing hit five shots in a row.

In the end, Lin Xing gave up completely.

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, Lin Xing completely switched to Azhan's anti-hip mode, and began to walk without the ball.

He stole chicken and scored two goals. At the end of the half, his statistics would not be stretched to the extreme.

but……

"Thirteen shots were taken in the half, and only four goals were scored. In this game, Star University's state is extremely bad."

"However, it is also understandable. You must know that what he encountered was the most stringent defense with almost five players in the Supersonics."

半场13中4，算上罚球勉强得到10分，外加5个篮板6个助攻。

The Kidd-smelling sewer really doesn't smell that good.

Lin Xing also knows that from the middle of the second quarter when he decided on Kobe Bryant for a while, the anti-hip pull in this game is just talking.

With a shooting percentage of 13 of 4, it is a bit difficult to get back to [-]% in the second half.

Although it was a bit difficult, in the third quarter, Lin Xing still bit the bullet and continued to prevent hip pull.

In the third quarter, he made another 5 of 3 shots. The three goals he scored were either counterattacks that overwhelmed the opponent's goals, or stealing chickens without the ball and catching the ball.

But at the end of the three quarters, 18 of 7 hits were still very hip.

However, with 9 rebounds and 10 assists, the overall data is still good.

And, at the end of the three quarters, with a score of 71 to 72, the Warriors led by 1 point.

The score is still tight, and the outcome of the game is still undecided. In this game, Lin Xing still has a chance to exert his strength.

He probably already thought of how to play in the fourth quarter and how to decide the victory.
