NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 396 The Throne of Center is close at hand! !

The Lakers boxing team, which has returned to form, directly turned on the massacre mode.

The Blazers' tense nerves were completely broken by several brutal and domineering blocks by Lin Hong, and their offense and defense were all messed up.

And the recovered Lakers outside shooters also started bombarding indiscriminately, beating the Blazers in disgrace, powerless to parry.

Until the last round, the Blazers did not give up.

But the Lakers stretched the lead to 12 points, and there were only 8 seconds left in the time. At this time, there was no suspense about the outcome. Even if the Blazers were dying, they could not recover.

In the end, in the first game of the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers defeated the ferocious Portland Trail Blazers 116:104, won the first home game, and got off to a good start.

In this game, the Lakers showed their toughness and lineup depth, which made the entire league see that this is the hardest bone.

But when the whole team was in a downturn and Kobe didn't feel good, Lin Hong took the lead of the team alone.

It's scary to think about it. Lin Keluo's combination, Kobe as the point guard, belongs to the assaulter, Lin Hong as the inside artillery, and Rodman as the board grabber and mad loader, with a clear division of labor.

Unless all three artillery pieces misfire, who can guarantee that their team can face off against this trio? !

What's even more astonishing is that in this game, the Blazers, who were bombarded by Lin Hong alone, were hard to parry, and everyone was hooked.

34 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 7 blocks!

What kind of perverted data is this?
Both points and rebounds were 30+, as well as 13 assists and 7 blocks.

This is not a fairy, what is that?
Everyone finds it unbelievable, but the data is right in front of them, without any water.

It is undeniable that Lin Hong's personal ability is too strong.

Even Silver Fox, who has always been reserved, waved his fists excitedly at the end of the game to express his excitement.

Everyone felt that the Lakers were going to kneel in this game, but he and Lin Hong did not give up, and jointly directed a wave of Jedi comeback, slapping these idiots in the face!
You must know that the Lakers trailed by a maximum of 25 points, but they still won by 12 points before the end of the game, which means that in the second half, they recovered a full 36 points.

Relieve!
Silver Fox is so happy!
Although there was only one match in the first round, Yinhu felt that there was no suspense, and he had already set his sights on the next opponent.

……

At this time, the Great Western Forum Arena was still full of people, enthusiastic fans chanted Lin Hong's name selflessly, and the flower of victory bloomed in the City of Angels.

At the press conference after the game, Silver Fox took Lin Keluo and the three to attend.

34 points, 32 rebounds, 14 assists, 7 blocks!

林洪这份数据实在太惊艳了，往前数也就只有奥拉朱旺当初在87-88赛季季后赛砍下的41分、26篮板、2助攻、4盖帽！

26 rebounds!
This is Olajuwon's single-game rebound record in the playoffs. However, Lin Hong surpassed Dameng's rebound record in the first game of the first round of the playoffs in the second year of his career, and he had 6 more rebounds.

Of course, Chamberlain's playoff record of 41 rebounds in a single game still firmly holds the No. [-] position in history, and no one can shake it so far.

However, in the second year of the playoffs, Lin Hong overthrew Dameng's rebounding record and climbed to the second place in a single game in the playoffs in one fell swoop. It was indeed terrifying.

Damn, he's still a second-year rookie?

For a while, Lin Hong's call for the league's number one center was rampant.

And to be honest, the position of outside linebacker is the least suspenseful. Michael Jordan is firmly on the throne, but the center's throne is still unresolved.

It's not that I don't want to sit, but that no one can convince the crowd by sitting.

The Admiral of the Spurs averaged 21.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 2.7 assists in the regular season.

Gorilla Ewing is not far behind, averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 1.1 assists per game.

If the admiral and the gorilla are still on par, then the big dream Olajuwon is suffering from injuries, and his performance has declined slightly.

But he still averaged 16.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.2 blocks, and 2.0 assists per game.

However, Shaquille O'Neal has gradually reached the peak, averaging 28.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, and 2.4 assists per game.

These are the four super centers in the nba today. The first three are still young and still dominate the penalty area.

And the big shark is gradually exerting its strength, showing signs of completely catching up with its predecessors.

In contrast.

Lin Hong averaged 32.4 points, 16.6 rebounds, 4.5 blocks, and 5.4 assists per game in the regular season. He led the four major centers in points, rebounds, blocks and assists.

Judging from the current performance, Lin Hong and O'Neal are the closest to the center throne.

Everyone knows that Lin Hong and O'Neal still have a lot of room for improvement, which is scary...

No one knows where their ceiling highs will be.

In addition, the Heat's Alonzo Mourning also performed brilliantly. His double-double average of close to 20+10 per game should not be underestimated, but it will not have an impact on the center's throne.

In this way...

Lin Hong is very close to the center center throne, but whether he can sit on it is still uncertain.

After all, this is a heyday of center supremacy, which can be seen from how much each team attaches importance to the inside.

Regardless of the strength of other positions, teams always like to hoard a few center forwards.

It doesn't matter whether you have technology or not, but you must be arrogant, powerful, and able to stand up to others.

The role of the meat shield is to defend, and even attack black, and even cripple people.

When it comes to playing ball, isn’t it normal to move a bit more?

This is also an important reason why the center throne burns his ass.

More than two hours later.

The G1 battle between the Supersonics and the Timberwolves also came to an end.

Because the opponents in the second round will be produced between the Sonics and the Timberwolves, everyone in the Lakers naturally cares about the performance of the stronger Sonics.

As expected, the Sonics beat the Timberwolves by 108 points 83:25.

Unlike the Lakers, the Sonics played against the Timberwolves from beginning to end, leading by 13 points in the first quarter, and even opened the point difference to 21 points at halftime.

Wen Baker attacked under the basket and scored 25 points and 12 rebounds. Garnett on the opposite side also responded, grabbing 18 rebounds under the basket, but his teammates hit the iron hard.

It is also a win. The Sonics won the first game too easily, and if the Lakers hadn't had Silver Fox's tactics and Lin Hong's inside cover, they would basically have to kneel in this game.

After winning the first game, the Lakers team is in a good mood.

Although his condition was not good, Lin Hong took the lead alone and defeated the Blazers in one fell swoop. Everyone even had a kind of blind trust in Lin Hong.

First up is Rodman.

The cooperation between him and Lin Hong hadn't reached the tacit understanding with Jordan, so the two played and cooperated in their spare time, and even had a one-on-one bullfight.

Although during the Bulls period, the two played against each other and had elbows, but now they are teammates after all, and it is still in the playoffs, so they have not reached the level of bayonet fighting. The two are simply practicing post-up singles and rebounding skills.

In the rematch against the Trail Blazers, if the situation in the first half reenacts the G1 battle, it is most important for Lin Hong to break through the blockade early.

After all, Yinhu's wave-casting tactics are too much of a gamble, and the slant of the sword is not always effective!

……

US time, April 4.

The second game of the Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Lakers continued to be staged at the Great Western Forum Arena. Compared with the first game, the Trail Blazers started the same, while the Lakers started slightly changed.

Lin Coben's iron triangle is naturally unshakable, which is the basic set for the Lakers to win.

The surprise move is Bruce Bowen at point guard.

Although Bowen's defense is very strong, but the shooting effect is not very ideal, and this game was topped by the old Curry, intending to support the outside.

After all, Kobe Bryant, a little blacksmith on the outside line, is a ghost, and it is not enough to rely on the key man Robert Horry alone.

Game start.

Lin Hong took the lead to give the ball to Kobe. Kobe saw that the opponent returned to the defense quickly, so he could only dribble and advance to half court.

At this time, old Curry ran over from behind, stood beside him, and took the initiative to make a pick-and-roll. Kobe decisively used the wall to cross the free throw line and rushed to the basket.

As soon as Rasheed Wallace arrived at the basket, he immediately took a step up to defend. At this time, Kobe turned around and leaned against the former. While making a pick and roll, the ball in his hand was passed down. Lin Hong.

"boom!"

After catching the ball, Lin Hong stepped on his side, and when his body was violent, he faced the basket with a brutal and violent dunk, and the basket was smashed and creaked.

"Ness!"

The Lakers home fans cheered.

"Beautiful pick-and-roll roll, Bryant and Lin played well together."

In the TNT commentary seat, Albert praised.

"Consecutive pick-and-rolls, the Lakers played the pick-and-roll style of Utah Shuangsha." Kenny Smith laughed.

Trail Blazers attack.

Rasheed Wallace asked for the ball in the low post on the left wing, but Lin Hong couldn't stand behind him, so he could only take a step outside to get the ball.

Lin Hong took advantage of the situation and pushed forward again, preventing Rasheed Wallace from turning around to face the basket.

Roaring Tianzun's back attack can only be regarded as an elite level, but it lacks stability, especially the ability to attack. Simply put, it can do everything, but its success rate is average.

The straight-arm jumper is very stable, but the main attack area is the basket and close-range two-pointers. Once Lin Hong pushes him away from the paint, his shooting percentage will be greatly reduced.

Grant above didn't get rid of Robert Horry and couldn't play an inside tactic, so he could only pass the ball out.

"Lin did a good job defending this time. He made good use of his strength and tonnage, and his single defense ability is top-notch."

Albert laughed.

"Rashid Wallace's speed is a bit worse than old Lin Hong, so his offensive ability is not very good, so Lin's single defense effect is not bad." Kenny Smith nodded.

Two minutes later, Lin Hong continued to chop melons and vegetables to attack at the basket, but was directly brought down by Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace, and got two free throw opportunities.

Lin Hong flipped his two arms. There were at least ten scratch marks on them, most of which were covered with blood.

Rodman looked at it, smiled and joked: "Lin, they may want to pick your crotch next."

Lin Hong, who was about to walk to the free throw line, subconsciously clamped his legs and gasped.He laughed and scolded: "Damn it, Rashid is like a mad dog, I will get a rabies vaccine after the game!!"

Lin Hong has obvious advantages in height, tonnage, and strength, but the intensity of the playoffs is different.

There are fewer whistles than in the regular season, more hand-to-hand action, and naturally more small moves.

The next round of the Lakers' offense.

Lin Hong squeezed from the low position on the left wing to the basket. He was very strong, and the difference in strength + tonnage was a bit large, which made Rasheed Wallace untenable.

At this moment, Lin Hong felt a burning pain in his waist.

"hiss!"

Lin Hong gasped immediately.

The damn guy actually grabbed the tender flesh on his waist, and his sharp nails directly penetrated the jersey and scratched his skin.

After approaching the basket, Lin Hong suddenly turned around, stuck the opponent behind him, and reached out to receive the pass.

at the same time.

The Lakers' double-team also arrived. Grant decisively abandoned Horry and jumped straight to the basket. Taking advantage of the moment of being close to him, he elbowed Lin Hong's right arm fiercely.

That is to say, Lin Hong's knees were slightly bent, his center of gravity was low, and his foot was extremely stable, otherwise he would have been turned over by a sudden elbow.

At this time, Rasheed Wallace and Grant entangled from the left and right sides respectively, stretched out their hands to clamp Lin Hong's two arms, and grabbed the ball with the other hand.

The intensity of its double-team defense far exceeds several levels in the regular season.

"what!!"

Lin Hong yelled angrily, twisted his waist and abdomen, raised his left and right elbows to push away the entanglement of the two, then stopped with his feet, and leaned fiercely to the right.

After all, there was too much difference between Grant's tonnage and strength. Even if Lin Hong couldn't use his strength, he was knocked back.

In the next moment, Lin Hong used his left foot as the pivot and his left shoulder as the point of attack, and made a fierce strike. Rasheed Wallace was knocked back and staggered two steps, almost falling to the ground.

"boom!"

After breaking through the double-team, Lin Hong pulled out the green onion dryly, and under the dunk of both hands, the entire Great Western Forum Arena exploded in an instant.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

After landing, Lin Hong gasped for breath. This attack consumed a lot of his physical energy.

"Double-teaming at the basket? Lin Hong broke the double-teaming arbitrarily. He once again penetrated the Blazers' restricted area. No one can hold his back..."

Kenny Smith roared excitedly.

The entire first quarter.

Rasheed Wallace is playing against Lin Hong.

Compared with Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace is indeed more flexible in his feet, but the restrictions on Lin Hong are not so great.

After all, in terms of physical fitness, Rasheed Wallace is more suitable to play at the 4th position, and he is hard-pressed at the 5th position as a big center, and the opponent is Lin Hong, who is above the four major centers, so he is naturally struggling.

What made the Blazers equally uncomfortable was the recovered Black Mamba.

Kobe played steadily in this game. Although Ryder's defense was very fierce, it was difficult to stop Peter Pan who was in a convulsive state.

The reason why the Blazers were able to overwhelm the Lakers in the last game was that Kobe Bryant did not play well and his outside shooters were sluggish.

On the other hand, Rasheed Wallace participated in the task of blocking Lin Hong under the basket, but this game is different.

Rodman scrambled hard for the second rebound, Kobe's assists flew up, and combined with sudden passes, he was always able to send shells to his teammates just right.

The old Curry shoots arrows from outside the three-point line, killing people.

The Blazers' defense line in the penalty area was blown to pieces by the Lakers' intensive artillery fire.

……

After the first quarter, at 19:26, the Lakers led by 6 points.

In the second quarter, even if the Blazers coach Carlesimo scratched his head, he couldn't figure out how to suppress this full-blown situation.

At halftime, the score between the two sides was 40:58.

The Lakers led by 18 points at halftime. The point difference is not amazing, but compared with the comfort of the Silver Fox, Carlesimo has already jumped.

If this game is still lost, then the big score will be 2:0.

The Lakers won the first round match point, how much pressure will be on their heads at that time, you don't need to think about it, and what can he do now?
How about taking a gamble?
Try the wild wave tactics?
Wild waves are an attitude, and wild waves are not restrained.

Wild waves, wild waves.

Crazy all the way, wandering all the way.

All the way to the distance, waves come one after another.

The strong wind takes me to swing, the dream is burning, the heart is puffing, so there is no need to wander.

Swaggering and shooting through the Nets, hey with his mood!
If Lin Hong knew what Coach Carlesimo was thinking, he would definitely send him a song called Wild Waves!
After thinking about it again and again, Carlesimo forcibly put this unreliable thought behind him.

After all, the Blazers don't have a big center like Lin Hong who dominates rebounds. Even if the Lakers let Rodman, a rebounding idiot, it won't help.

The real problem for the Blazers lies in the defense. They cannot suppress the offense of Lin Hong and Kobe Bryant, but Carlesimo has no good way to attack the defense.

After all, even if the outside line is strangled, Lin Hong + Rodman's double rebounding leader's inside line is too lethal. Not only the offense, but even the defense has turned the Lakers' penalty area into an iron barrel.

If you fight like this, you will definitely kneel today!
Carlesimo gritted his teeth, and the inside defense continued to double-team, so he could only pin his hopes on the outside attack.

So the top outside scorer Isiah Rydell, the small flying mouse Stoudemire, and Brian Grant started the shooter group.

Beat a fight, bike change bike!
