NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 103 Fierce battle against New York gangsters, breaking through Bermuda head-on? ! (Begging for the first order!!)

"That's who we're going to play next game."

United States, New York, Madison Square Garden.

After the New York Knicks' daily practice, the team stayed in the locker room.

Head coach Jeff Van Gundy is doing tactical analysis for tomorrow's game.

Pointing at No. 34 Celestial Giant on the big screen who was raging inside, Jeff Van Gundy said seriously: "Lin, the core of the Los Angeles Lakers' tactics this season."

"Judging from the two games he played in the NBA, he belongs to the new type of center, who has excellent athletic ability while taking into account strength."

"Patrick, Lin is your junior, I'll see you tomorrow."

Patrick Ewing, the most neglected existence among the four major centers.

But this does not mean that Ewing is not strong enough.

The peak gorilla runs very fast, with super bouncing and explosive power.

Not only has top post-up singles ability, but also a stable mid-range shot.

With an almost abnormal wingspan and a top-notch shot-blocking sense, the gorilla is a veritable shot-blocking expert.

Tomorrow, the New York Knicks will host the Los Angeles Lakers.

Whether Patrick Ewing can use a pair of iron arms to limit Lin Hong's performance will determine the trend of the entire game!
"The Timberwolves are too soft inside, which is why Lin is so unstoppable."

However, after watching the replay of the game, Patrick Ewing's face was very calm: "I won't be as weak as the insider of the Timberwolves!"

"It's time for Lin to have a taste, the care from the seniors!"

Blink of an eye to the second night!
The Los Angeles Lakers started their first road trip to Madison Square Garden in New York to challenge the New York Knicks led by Patrick Ewing!
The Knicks in the 90s were not the fool behind who couldn't support the wall with mud.

The New York Knicks gathered Oakley, Ewing, Mason, Starks, Larry Johnson, Smith and other titans.

Formed the frightening "Gangs of New York" team, you can see how tough they are from the name.

Some people may say that the most "playing" team in the NBA is the "Bad Boys" Detroit Pistons.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, the Pistons are obviously not the Knicks' opponents.

The Pistons' style of play is dirty, but the Knicks can really "play".

They have called the wind and rain in this decade, and reached the finals twice, but they all failed in the end. They can be called the most tragic team in the 90s.

But it cannot be denied that the Knicks are indeed powerful.

The four major centers Patrick Ewing guards the penalty area, and top bad guys like Charles Oakley play as support.

CIC king Alan Houston and aunt Larry Johnson are in charge of fire support, plus the bench bandit Starks, the team is not weak!
They beat Michael Jordan's Bulls in the second round of the playoffs last year.

This year, he made a comeback again, with great ambitions, and vowed to avenge his shame.

The Los Angeles Lakers are just a rebuilding team, and hardly any expert predicted before the season that they could enter the playoffs.

Even in the All-Star prediction and the best team prediction list, the entire Los Angeles Lakers have no one who is not in the scope of discussion.

It can be seen from this that how unfavorable the outside world is for the Los Angeles Lakers this year.

In the visiting team locker room before the game, Lakers coach Del Harris did not make too many arrangements as usual, but let Byron Scott and Corey Blunt start instead of Fisher and Campbell.

The other three remain the same, they are still Lin Hong, Kobe and Kersey.

The starting lineup of the New York Knicks is much stronger.

Gorilla Patrick Ewing is one of the four major centers, known as the center textbook.

The NBA's flat-headed brother Charles Oakley fights more than he plays. He is either fighting or on his way to a fight.

The inside line guarded by the gorilla Ewing and the villain Oakley, as long as many people see these two evil faces, they will probably be so scared that they dare not even enter the three-second zone!

Aunt Larry Johnson and CIC king Alan Houston are strong and accurate, responsible for the team's peripheral firepower.

Defensively tough and hard-working undrafted Chris Childs served as the starting point guard.

When the Knicks started the five tigers on the court, the Los Angeles fans who came to watch the game seemed a little cautious, and their laughter was not as unrestrained as before.

They are also afraid that if one accidentally angers this group of New York gangsters, it will be their own star who will suffer.

On the court, Oakley blatantly grabbed his aunt Larry Johnson and taunted him unscrupulously: "Larry, look at these guys, can you name a few of them?"

Aunt Larry Johnson smiled and shook her head: "Ghost knows who they are! I'm not interested in knowing either. What I care about is who treats guests after winning the game tonight. Go to a nightclub and have a good night!"

"It's all left to John. It's his turn to treat tonight."

Ewing, the gorilla with the same fierce face, also spoke on the sidelines.

Obviously, the entire gang of New York did not take the Los Angeles Lakers seriously.

Lin Hong's face was as usual, as if these guys he was facing were not some feared generals, but unknown soldiers.

He grabbed the ball with both hands, thinking about what coach Harris had just said to himself.

"In this match, the only hope of winning is to let you let go!"

Lin Hong rolled his eyes at the villain Oakley who was pretending to be walking towards him, and smiled calmly at the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, if you are afraid, you can go home early to find your mother, and stay on the court, you may get injured."

Oakley's trash talk is as tough as he is himself.

"Finished? Then you can go!"

Lin Hong cast a glance at the other party, and said with a sneer, "Others are afraid of you, but I am not!
You kind of rubbish will be sent to Toronto sooner or later, because only ice and snow can freeze your rotten mouth. "

Oakley did not expect that this rookie would have the guts to reply.

After being stunned for a moment, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He wants to give Lin Hong a break, let him know what the number one villain in the league is!

Patrick Ewing and Lin Hong, two brothers from Georgetown, stood on the center line at the same time.

With the whistle of the referee, the basketball was thrown high.

Lin Hong took the lead and put the basketball into Kobe's hands first!
"In addition to whether the Los Angeles Lakers can leave with a victory, there is one more thing to watch in this game."

After a two-year pause, the ESPN commentator continued to tease: "That is whether Patrick can beat his junior brother head-on!"

"This is more interesting than winning or losing a game!"

Between the commentator's words, the Lakers' iconic first attack tactic was played!
Lin Hong finished the jump ball and rushed to the frontcourt quickly!
But the Knicks were clearly prepared.

Oakley and Larry Johnson retracted the inside line early to prevent Lin Hong from [-]-on-[-] inside!
Kobe saw two players standing inside, and the speed of advancement also slowed down.

"Bryant, give me the ball!"

But, right now.

Lin Hong, who rushed to the front court, decisively raised his hand to Kobe for the ball!

"There are two people standing in the paint, and Lin still chooses to continue asking for the ball?"

"This shot is too reluctant, Lin is very likely to be called an offensive foul!"

"Bryant probably wouldn't...actually pass the ball to Lin!"

"Is the Los Angeles Lakers desperate? Everyone obeys Lin's instructions unconditionally?"

Just like the narrator said.

Facing two defenders standing in the three-second zone, Kobe still hit the ball with a long pass and put it straight into Lin Hong's hands!

This is one of the strongest tactics of the Los Angeles Lakers this season: In case of indecision, give the ball to Lin Hong!

Coach Del Harris has also been emphasizing in team training: Lin Hong has unlimited firepower!

"boom!!"

Just started basketball!
Lin Hong glanced at the defense, dribbled the ball, and took off directly!
Seeing that Lin Hong was about to dunk from between the two, Oakley quickly jumped up to pinch, reaching out to try to block Lin Hong!
Oakley's height is obviously unable to complete the block, but his idea is to pull Lin Hong down severely!

However, at the moment when Oakley pulled Lin Hong to hold the ball with his left hand, Lin Hong changed hands in the air and held the ball with his right hand!

"Get out of here, Laozi!"

Lin Hong bumped away from Oakley, and after changing hands in the air, he roared!
Across Larry Johnson, who hadn't taken off yet, he slammed down with his whole body in a bow shape, and his right hand smashed to the limit!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The three muffled sounds almost sounded from the front and rear feet!

The first sound was the sound of Oakley being knocked to the ground by Lin Hong!
Oakley felt as if he had hit a wall, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

The second sound was Lin Hong's dunk!
The third sound was the sound of Larry Johnson being knocked down by Lin Hong!
"Dudududu!"

The referee's whistle also sounded!
"Lin Hong hit Charles Oakley, and Larry Johnson was dunked in the air!"

"This shot was too violent! Even though the Knicks deployed two defenders inside, they were still knocked over by Lin Hong!"

"More importantly, even though Oakley and Johnson both fell to the ground, Lin Hong still completed the dunk!"

"The referee's penalty gesture is also very clear!"

Lin Hong's two points were valid, and at the same time caused Oakley's thug foul, and he was given an extra penalty!
"Buzz!"

The basket wailed, as if accusing Lin Hong of his brutality.

After Lin Hong landed smoothly, Kobe and others on the court rushed to Lin Hong excitedly!
Lin Hong just stood there, being hit by his chest and shouted by his teammates, like a god of war!
While Oakley and Larry Johnson both fell to the ground, Lin Hong remained motionless like a mountain!
The Lakers fans at the scene couldn't help cheering!

"Larry!" Oakley said a little dissatisfied: "Pay attention to defense!"

Lin Hong added a penalty and scored 2+1.

Knicks attack.

Patrick is stuck in the low post, ready to get the ball.

Aunt and CIC Wang are running back and forth for air cuts, looking for opportunities to make calls.

As for Oakley and Charles, both of them are strong offensively and weak defensively.

Ewing asked for the ball in the low post.

Lin Hong grabbed his lower back with his left hand and completely sank his center of gravity.

His legs are very strong, and his horse steps are very stable.

The two Georgetown brothers, who had been tit for tat from the jump ball, finally came together.

About the same height, about the same wingspan.

Gorilla Ewing's explosive power is actually on par with Lin Hong.

The head-to-head confrontation between the two muscular male centers was like a bayonet fight, with sparks flying everywhere.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The gorilla Ewing hit Lin Hong with the back of the dribble.

He slammed back with his back!
Except that his upper body was slightly tilted back, Lin Hong's lower body was very stable.

Ewing was a little puzzled.

With his strength to play any insider in the league, there is an absolute strength advantage.

Under the impact of this sudden impact, my junior brother should retreat.

Ewing thought that he was careless just now and didn't use enough strength.

Next.

Ewing continued to dribble the ball again, and with full strength on his left back, he slammed into Lin Hong behind him fiercely.

Even before the referee didn't notice, he secretly lowered his shoulders.

"boom!"

The sound of the collision produced by the fierce physical confrontation was clearly heard by the fans on the sidelines.

but!

Lin Hong still didn't move.

Ewing frowned and became irritable.

What kind of pig feed did my junior grow up on?
Why is the power so powerful?
After colliding twice in a row, it is still as stable as a rock?
at this time.

Sensing that the gorilla Ewing was a little impetuous, Lin Hong gave him eye drops without hesitation.

"Patrick, is this the strength of a top center in the NBA? Just so little strength? It seems that the media has touted you as one of the top four centers, which is a bit exaggerated!"

Ewing was so provoked by Lin Hong, he couldn't hold back his face immediately, and immediately turned his head and roared: "Fuck off, why are you saying it again?"

Lin Hong continued to hold his waist with his hand, and responded tit for tat: "I said you are old and play like a softie. It's time to retire!"

"Bastard! How dare you say I'm a softie?" Ewing slammed back violently in a rage.

at this time.

Lin Hong suddenly retreated, and then quickly moved to the right side.

"Oh, Fake!"

Before the body lost his balance, Ewing stabbed the king of the ball in front of the king.

In the end, CIC Wang caught the basketball dangerously and dangerously.

Without too many adjustments, just pull it up and shoot.

"Shhh!!"

After the basketball drew a perfect arc in mid-air, it crashed into the net.

The Knicks chased the score to 2:3.

On the offensive end, Lin Hong once again found Kobe to cover him.

This time the Knicks obviously paid a lot of attention, paying more attention to changing defenses after screens.

But Lin Hong still turned around immediately after blocking, and ran towards the basket again.

This time Kobe chose to hit the ground with a ball, facing Oakley who was pasted up, and calmly distributed the ball to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong's position with the ball was already close to the three-second zone. Facing the oncoming gorilla, Lin Hong turned his back coolly and completed a one-handed dunk, scoring two more points for the team.

"Ahhhh! Look at that young man, he's so handsome! His muscles look great too!"

"Especially compared with gorillas, it is even more beautiful!"

"Nonsense, compared to gorillas, it's hard to find people who don't have good looks!"

The cheers of the fans were naturally mixed with some cynicism.

His own star played well, and the joy and excitement hidden in the fans' hearts could no longer be hidden.

The Knicks found the team spirit of the Knicks this time, and Ewing took the ball with his back.

Corey Blunt's body is indeed a little bit interesting.

Ewing squeezed Blount out of the way, jumped up and made an iconic gorilla dunk, scoring 2 points.

The Lakers are not to be outdone.

Lin Hong once again covered Kobe in the high position.

His cover is so ruthless and hard that anyone who encounters it will have a headache.

This time, Knicks point guard Charlie Childs unfortunately ran into a wall of people and was severely blocked by Lin Hong.

Facing the fierce Oakley, Xiaoke couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and didn't dare to make more moves, and immediately passed the ball.

Lin Hong received a pass back above and below the free throw line before he could go down.

Seeing Childs, who was a whole head shorter than him, jumping up and down in front of him with his hands up, Lin Hongli ignored him and shot directly!

One dares to defend, the other dares to cast!
"Shh!"

Lin Hong really jumped in.

When Oakley saw that Lin Hong had scored another point, he couldn't hold back even more:
"Charlie! Get out of my way, out of my way."

Charles shrugged, also looking helpless.

Do you think I am willing to face this guy?
Wasn't it forced by their endless pick-and-roll and defense?

Here, the Knicks once again let Ewing play in the low post. Seeing that Blunt couldn't resist, Lin Hong directly gave up Oakley's refusal to double-team the gorilla.

The gorilla who was turning towards the baseline had just turned to face the basket when he bumped into Lin Hong firmly.

Lin Hong's strength like a torrent of steel burst out at this moment.

He didn't move at the same place, but Ewing was caught off guard because he didn't stop his pace, and was caught by the sideline referee and called a walking violation.

This move once again attracted cheers from the Lakers fans at the scene.

"Gorilla! Go back to your Empire State Building and cry on your stomach!"

"You bastard! You can only be the bottom of the four major centers all your life!"

"No, you have already dropped to fifth place, and the fourth place is our Lin!"

Naturally, the Lakers fans will not give up this opportunity, scrambling to mock the gorilla.
