I really play basketball

Chapter 315
On the court, the Bulls' offense.

Grant Hill holds the ball and continues to face Byron Russell's defense.

This season, Russell's decline is indeed relatively large, mainly because he has gained a lot of muscle, gained weight, slowed down, and his explosive power is not as good as before.

For this shot, Hill has the fastest first step in the league today.

He played Byron Russell, relying on the first step, the winner was decided.

Russell turned around and was left behind by Hill...

In this game, Lin Xing seldom assisted in the defense, because Danzi really couldn't miss it.

Danzi now, don't look at his age.

But age only affects his physical function. Technically speaking, Danzi will only improve.

Take three-pointers as an example. In the past few seasons, Danzi has witnessed Lin Xing winning many games with three-pointers, so Danzi has been practicing three-pointers hard for the past two years.

This season, Danzi's three-point shooting percentage is also 39.2%, which is already a very qualified three-point shooting percentage.

As for Danzi's mid-range and close range, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, the current Danzi can be said to be a 360° offensive existence with no dead ends.

Lin Xing's defense against him could only be inseparable.

Russell did not have Lin Xing's defense, and was passed in one step, and the Warriors' defense line was directly pierced.

Hill didn't hesitate, passing Russell, it was a mid-range shot.

Swish-!
"Grant Hill once again penetrated Byron Russell's defense, he has scored 6 points in a row, the state is hot, completely unstoppable."

"12 to 10, relying on Hill's mid-range shot, the Bulls overtook the score!"

"So far in this game, the Bulls are blooming more, and the Warriors are the same as the previous games, relying too much on Stalin."

Groom Albert and Matt Gudica are worried about the prospects of the Warriors again. Lin Xing has scored 10 points in a row since the start, which did not make them feel strange.

On the court, Lin Xing glanced at the score that had already been overtaken.

The game has been played so far, and half the quarter has passed.

Lin Xing made 7 of 5 shots and scored 10 points in a row.

The high shooting percentage is still 2 points behind. It's not that the Bulls' offense is so hot that it explodes.

But during this period, Alan Houston and the driver took the ball, and they both played one or two singles, but they didn't score.

The gap just opened up like this.

Now, the score is behind, Lin Xing decided to take action himself, and then beat the score back.

So, in this round of offense, Lin Xing ignored his teammates again.

From halftime, he aimed at the basket.

Danzi pushed up, but not completely.

He makes up for his lack of explosiveness by giving himself a step.

With one tentative step forward, Lin Xing swayed Danzi's center of gravity behind Danzi.

Then, it was Lin Xing's iconic double retreat performance.

"Double back, Si Dabiao scored a three-pointer!"

Swish-!
The basketball passed through the net frame. Although the net flower is white, it is quite gorgeous in the eyes of the home audience.

Amidst the cheers, the score was overtaken by the Warriors again at 13 to 12.

"We still have to rely on Stanford, we still have to rely on Stanford, this three-pointer hit, and Star has swept all the points the Warriors have scored since the beginning of the game."

The Bulls' attack, Penny deliberately suppressed the rhythm.

Alan Houston waved his hands, but Penny made a change and passed Houston in one step.

Then, like Hill, Penny made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

Swish-!
"Pence is scoring too, the Bulls have taken the lead again, the Warriors' defense is terrible."

Marv Albert finally mentioned the problem of the Warriors' defense. In fact, the real problem is not that the Warriors rely too much on Lin Xing on the offensive end.

But on the defensive end, Alan Houston and Byron Russell couldn't guard Penny and Hill at all.

To say how poor the defense of these two people is, it is not enough. The defense of these two people is still above the standard, but their opponents are too strong in this game.

Hill can be said to be the number one small forward in the world, and no one in the same position can stabilize him.

Although Penny has been seriously injured several times, he is now in the stage of recovery, and his strength is somewhat back to the peak.

Peak Penny, the point guard position can still be ranked in the top ten.

Isn't it casual for a league's No. [-] small forward to play a declining Byron Russell?
The top ten point guards in the league, Alan Houston, who is not his job to play a defense, is also casual.

But if it's the peak Russell and Lin Xing's defense, Hill still can't turn the sky.

Not to mention Penny, if the CIC king is replaced by Kobe, Penny will be locked up without defense support.

So in the final analysis, the biggest decline in the Warriors this season is defense.

The score fell behind again, Lin Xing continued to turn on Dolby mode with a cold face.

This time, he was still facing Danzi's single defense, and his style of play had not changed, it was still a probing step at the top of the arc.

This time, Danzi steadied himself and did not move easily.

But this time, Lin Xing came for real, he took the Tanbu and took another step, with his left arm raised horizontally, separating Danzi.

Then he sped up for a while, and rushed to the Bulls' penalty area solidly and powerfully.

Hill assisted in the defense, and Lin Xing glanced at Byron Russell who was wide open from the corner of his eye, but did not choose to pass the ball.

He continued to accelerate, smashing Hill who suddenly blocked him with all his strength.

With a bang, Hill fell on his back on the floor. The referee held the whistle and didn't blow it because——

"No foul, or if a foul is called it's a Grant Hill blocking foul!"

The referee didn't blow it, but the other Bulls players quit, raising their hands to complain.

Lin Xing seized the time when they raised their hands to complain, and made a basket.

The score was overtaken again, and the Warriors took the lead again.

As for the Bulls player's complaint, the referee just waved his hand and gave two warnings.

This ball, it must be no problem not to blow it.

To put it bluntly, Hill was obviously defending the past, and blocked Lin Xing while moving laterally. No matter how you say this ball, it cannot be an offensive foul.

On the court, Lin Xing has retreated to the backcourt.

With his hips on his hips, he murmured in a low voice: "I didn't even swing my arms and make a big swing, so I made you two plus one!"

A word of complaint directly reminded Lin Xing.

Lin Xing's eyes brightened, and he felt that he had found a new way.

After finding that complaining was useless, the Bulls didn't bother too much and kicked off in the backcourt.

Danzi finally couldn't bear this attack.

He once again took control of the ball and challenged Lin Xing's defense.

Mid-range, back turn, a turnaround jumper.

Swish-!
"Mike hit the mid-range shot, and Star's defense didn't stop him. The Big Three were all open. This game is really going to fall to the Bulls' side."

Lin Xing's defense is actually in place, but the helpless thing is that Dan Zi's turnaround jumper, whether to make or not, the focus is not on defense, but on his own touch.

I shot one in the opening game and lost it, and now I shot one and made it.

Obviously it's the touch, and the characteristic of Danzi is that once the touch comes, it can't be stopped.

Seeing the score overtake the past again, Lin Xing was still expressionless.

He caught the ball in the backcourt, slowly, and passed half the court as harmlessly as humans and animals.

After halftime, Danzi slowly leaned forward.

However, Lin Xing had a time lag. Standing on the big logo of the Warriors, he directly made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The moment the LOGO shot a three-pointer, the Oakland Stadium erupted in surprise and excited cheers.

Swish-!
"LOGO three-pointer, Stadt's iconic LOGO three-pointer, this goal was scored, 18 to 16, and the Warriors immediately led by 2 points."

"But more importantly, Star has scored all the points for the Warriors so far in this game."

"He's hot, which is a good thing, but it's not a good thing that the Warriors' offensive burden is all on him..."

Lin Xing didn't care. After hitting the LOGO three-pointer, he and the big white bear who came to the frontcourt belatedly slapped each other, and then went into the defensive round.

In the bull's round, Danzi wanted another one.

But this time, the same waist catch, the same turnaround jumper.

What Danzi heard was the clang of iron strikes.

This is another characteristic of Mu Nian Danzi, which is instability.

Of course, the so-called instability is relative to him personally.

Under normal circumstances, he is still very stable, with an average shooting percentage of more than [-]% per game.

But like this kind of performance where he made a precise shot in the previous offense and directly smashed a fine iron in the next offense, there are too many Danzi.

Lin Xing is different from Dan Zi, he can become very stable as long as he thinks about it.

On the court, Lin Xing once again received a slow pass from the Great Pyrenees.

He turned around and counterattacked, this time, Dan Zi directly entangled him.

On the sidelines, Tim Floyd was also directing: "Hold him, hang him, Mike, and Grant, go up and help, go up and help!"

Thus, Lin Xing encountered siege.

Even so, he still didn't pass the ball.

Instead, he used a high-speed Sam Gothe to pass Danzi in one step.

Matt Gutica's exclamation sounded again from the commentary booth——

"The iconic Sam Gould, Mikoto has been taken a step further!"

"The only thing standing in front of Star is Grant Hill..."

Hill retreated in various ways, and did not get entangled with Lin Xing at all.

But what he didn't expect was that when Lin Xing rushed to the three-point line, he stopped the car suddenly.

With a cry, Lin Xing shot another three-pointer amidst the exclamation of the Oakland Stadium.

"Sida made a direct shot, a chasing three-pointer!"

Swish-!
"boom!"

The Oakland Stadium went crazy immediately, and the cheers were like a volcanic eruption, completely unstoppable.

"Consecutive three-pointers hit, Si Da went crazy, he really went crazy!"

"He continued to take all the points the Warriors have scored so far in this game, but this is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is-"

"In the first quarter of this game, there are still more than four minutes before the end. Star has already scored 21 points. He is going against the sky!"

The NBA's current scoring record in a single quarter is George Gervin's 33 points, and Lin Xing's 21 points are still 33 points away from Gervin's 12 points.

But with more than four minutes left in the first quarter, Lin Xing still has a chance to break this record.

With a score of 21 to 16, Lin Xing exerted his strength and immediately opened the gap to 5 points.

Now, no one raised those questions about the Warriors.

After all, the Warriors are leading now.

Lin Xing, who scored 21 points in a row, is obviously a difficult point to solve.

Soon, the Bulls attack.

Danzi hesitated for a moment, but chose to give up the opportunity to his teammates.

To put it bluntly, he does have a chance to score against Lin Xing, but this so-called chance is just a [-]-[-] split.

But if the ball is handed over to teammates, whether it is Hill or Penny, the success rate of the offense is as high as 80% or even higher.

Just like this round, Hill singled out Byron Russell and scored another mid-range shot.

21 to 18, when Lin Xing got the ball again, the Warriors still led by 3 points.

He controlled the ball and pushed it across the half court. Danzi took every step carefully from the center line to the three-point line.

But this time, Lin Xing changed his routine.

At the top of the arc, Lin Xing turned his back directly, pressed Danzi and walked in.

"It's a high-post post-up, and Stahl has pulled out a different weapon from his rich arsenal."

For post-up singles at high positions, Danzi chose to defend against breakthroughs but not to defend against shots.

This choice can't be said to be wrong, after all, if you really want to defend the shot, Lin Xing can completely shake off Danzi with just one turn.

At that time, Lin Xing will score another two points and it will be a certainty.

He could bet on Lin Xing's two-point inaccuracy in anti-burst or non-anti-defense shots, but the final result was that he lost the bet.

Lin Xing made a turnaround jumper and threw the ball with a skillful fadeaway jumper comparable to Danzi.

Swish!
"Sta scored another 2 points, this is his 23rd point in this game, and also the Warriors' 23rd point in this game..."

"23 to 18, the score gap once again widened to 5 points."

On the sidelines, Tim Floyd finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

When Penny turned around and made a wave of offense, he missed a three-pointer, and Lin Xing grabbed the rebound again, and the score gap was likely to be further widened.

Tim Floyd finally gave the order to chase and intercept Lin Xing with all his strength, but it was just shouting from the sidelines, and the effect was too poor.

Lin Xing still relied on his own rebounds, caught a wave of offensive and defensive transitions, rushed to the basket and succeeded in dunking.

25 to 18, the Bulls suspended.

The Warriors just entered the timeout with a 7-point lead.

Lin Xing wobbled to the sidelines, and Old Nelson patted Lin Xing on the back with concern:

"How about it, can you still hold on? Shall I change you down and rest for a few minutes?"

Lin Xing shook his head, expressing that he was not tired.

Old Nelson's attitude changed: "Why don't you pass the ball, pass more to your teammates."

Speaking of which, for most of the quarter, Lin Xing did have many chances to pass the ball.

Pass it out, and there is a high probability that teammates will be able to score the ball.

After all, if you can't grasp the opportunity of a large space, then don't mess around.

That's why old Nelson had doubts.

Lin Xing shook his head: "I'm in good shape, so I hit a little more. As for them, let them save their strength and use it in the second quarter."

"Then what do you say now?"

"Substitute, we have to strengthen our defense."

So soon, with a big wave of the old Nelson, Stephen Jackson replaced Byron Russell, and Charlie Ward replaced the driver.

After this substitution, Matt Gudica was directly puzzled——

"What are the warriors doing?"

Soon, the Warriors gave the answer.

The first round after the substitution was the defensive round. Captain Jack, who had just played, faced Danzi directly. Lin Xing was playing the [-]th position, and the opponent was also the Bulls' [-]th position.

Danzi looked at Captain Jack and felt that he was being bullied. He raised his hand to ask for the ball and wanted to play singles.

As a result, Lin Xing, who has now become a defensive mobile team, helped defend the past in time.

With a bang, Danzi smashed another shot of refined iron.

The Big Pyrenees grabbed the rebound, the Warriors attacked, and the problem appeared again——

"Without Dirk Nowitzki, the Warriors' offense has become more difficult. They don't really want Star to score all the points in the first quarter?"
