NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 422 Collect basket sets of trophies! !

The Knicks called a timeout.

O'Neal returned to the bench and drank a glass of water after sitting down, but didn't say anything immediately.

He actually has no problem with the number of shots taken by Marbury, but today Marbury's shot selection is not very good. There are at least three strong shots. This is not the shot selection that a qualified point guard should have.

But this is nothing, it's not worth his anger. What annoys him is that Marbury ignored his position and asked for the ball several times, which annoyed him a lot.

I tried my best to get the position in the low position, but you ignored me and shot outside by yourself, and let me waste my energy below for nothing. Are you playing with me?
But he certainly can't turn his face against Marbury because of such a trivial matter.

Marbury was also very silent, drinking water silently.

When he came down, he understood why the coach called a timeout. He was a little restless because of Kobe, obsessed with working alone, and did not do a good job in organizing and connecting. This is indeed his problem.

He overlooked a problem, this team is O'Neal's, not his.

At this time O'Neill spoke, turned to Marbury and said, "Stephen, you seem to hate that guy?"

Marbury was startled, and understood who O'Neal was talking about, shrugged his shoulders and smiled immediately: "He is called Jordan's successor, but I am the best point guard in the 96th class...!"

He didn't continue to speak, but O'Neill understood a little bit.

"Okay, then this game is yours, you just need to take shots, it doesn't matter how many shots you take, I'll grab the rebound for you."

O'Neill looked at the lonely figure of Marbury, and Lin Hong's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he felt a sense of sympathy.

"What?" Marbury was surprised and didn't react.

The others were also taken aback, not knowing whether O'Neill's words were true or not.

"Blow him up, just like I want to blow up Lin Hong. This is our task tonight." O'Neill looked fiercely, and cast a glance at Lin Hong who was opposite him.

This time Marbury understood and understood why O'Neal did this.

……

"My God, I know Lin Hongmeng, but I didn't know he could be so fierce against big sharks and rain men." Sun Zhengping cried.

"The tactical core, the tactical core of the whole team, is running with a team on their shoulders." Zhang Lili was also very excited.

"I must solemnly say to all the fans watching the game, Lin Hong, well-deserved, the No. [-] center in the NBA, I don't deny the efforts of other Lakers players, but I want to say that our Celestial Giant, damn... No. [-] in the world !"

Sun Zhengping burst into foul language excitedly, this time the money will be deducted, but he still couldn't suppress the extreme madness in his heart.

……

"Damn it, is Lin Hong so powerful?"

"No. [-] in the world? Damn it, I'm so excited to shout it out."

"His grandma, if I can do it all over again, I also want Lin Hong's perverted beast body, and it's best to keep my handsome face."

"What? Why do you still dislike Lin Hong's face?"

"It's unreasonable. Believe it or not, I will call you along the phone line?"

"Report the address, there is a way to report the address, I hacked the train overnight to kill you bastard, let you insult the god of war in my heart!!"

"kill him!"

This finals really let domestic fans see what is real passionate basketball and what is an epic insider king.

And this time, all the Knicks members looked dignified, silently listening to the coach Van Gundy's lecture.

This season, Van Gundy is a quiet head coach most of the time. After the general direction is determined, the three of them will be handed over to the wolf shark rain to command the battle, but now it is not possible...

If the signs of the Lakers' offense are not stopped in time, the Knicks will lose their first home game.

After saying a few words to the team members, the Knicks' first five tigers reappeared, and Rain Man's expression was very bad at this meeting, and he felt great pressure again.

Although he was sniped and knocked down by the Lakers Lin Coben in the West last year, it can be said that his teammates were average at that time, and he was isolated and helpless.

But what should I say now?
What the hell do the Lakers have?
On the books, only Lin Hong is the strongest, Kobe is still training, Rodman can only defend and grab rebounds, the advantages and disadvantages are also prominent, if this is to be strengthened in the future, is it exaggerated to create a second invincible? Rival dynasty?

……

With the game on the horizon, no one has time to think too much.

The weak lead did not make Lin Hong happy. Although Yinhu was so excited that he almost touched his whole body, but he knew...

Until the last moment, there are still a lot of variables, especially if the opponent is the Knicks with a strong lineup.

Pause just came back.

Lin Hong's premonition was correct, because the Knicks' defense has changed, and everyone knows the general intention...

Attack by yourself, very efficient.

If you don't attack yourself, it seems to be more efficient.

Compared with the two evils, choose the lesser. In terms of trade-offs, Van Gundy decisively chose the former.

The perimeter strictly guarded Kobe's position, and the Rainman guarded Rodman, turning the double-teaming that started with one step outside the penalty area into a supplementary defense after O'Neal's hard-hitting.

How did you do it?

I originally wanted to create opportunities for my teammates, but in the end the Knicks still let me play, ah?

It's impossible not to fight, nothing is more stable than shooting by yourself, and sometimes it's not because you want the data, but because you are too strong, you can't do it without fighting.

……

As a result, the wind of the game changed drastically.

To be honest, the Lakers made a lot of preparations before the game, but this situation was never thought of by the Silver Foxes.

Even if Silver Fox is a god, he never thought that Nix would let Lin Hong go?

Lin Hong played singles, Yinhu was relieved, but he also had concerns.

After all, Lin Hong’s free throw performance in this game was a bit struggling. He hasn’t finished the first quarter yet. He made 4 of 2 free throws and only hit 50% of the shots.

Silver Fox's worries were fulfilled.

Rodman entangled O'Neal, and Lin Hong received the ball and directly singled Rainman Kemp.

In the absence of support, Yuren wants to refuse and welcome, but if Lin Hong wants to score stably, going to the basket is definitely the best choice.

But when he was able to score steadily, Yuren directly fouled and sent Lin Hong to the free throw line.

2 of 1 free throws again? !
Lin Hong glanced at his hands in disbelief, and felt that today was really wrong.

Because this is the third time in this quarter that he has scored 2 of 1 in 70. Based on the average free throw percentage of 6% in the regular season, he should be able to get 4.2 points from 3 free throws, but now he only has 1 points, at least [-] point less.

Although 1 point doesn't seem like much, this is a playoff game where every point counts. In many games, there is a gap of one or two points at the end.

"What the hell?" Lin Hong slapped hard.

"Haha, you have today too?" O'Neill smiled so much that his mouth almost reached his ears.

"This is the favor of the goddess of luck!" Van Gundy smiled.

At present, 6 of 3 free throws, this is 50% of the hits, it is really hip, and Van Gundy will also think of a way.

It is to let Lin Hong, who is scoring steadily at the basket, go to free throws and let Lin Hong shoot from the middle distance.

Leaving aside his not-so-exaggerated shooting efficiency from mid-range.

Assuming ideally...

10个球如果强打篮下6个必中，另外4个投篮算他能中2个，这效率就高效到可怕了，达到了10中8。

But what about 6 free throws instead of those 12 supposedly must-hit shots at the rim?

Calculated based on 6% of the free throws, that is 7.2 points, which is equivalent to scoring 3.6 mid-range shots, plus the previous 2 mid-range shots, that is 10 out of 5.6.

10 out of 5.6?

Efficient or efficient, but perfectly acceptable.

Because the efficiency of O'Neal and Kemp leading the team is also on the rise, the peak state of all members, and an offensive efficiency of 56% is not a big problem.

The game has already started, and Van Gundy just made a rough calculation.

As for whether it will be successful, all the suspense is on Lin Hong.

The Knicks gave up the double-team, so the Lakers will naturally let Lin Hong play singles.

Because of the three-second limit on offense, Lin Hong made 2 of 1 turnaround jump shots twice, which can only be regarded as a normal performance.

In the next attack, he went to the basket and turned around for a dunk, but O'Neal took the initiative to foul and hugged him down. Lin Hong made 2 free throws this time.

……

In the next few times the Lakers attacked, Van Gundy watched carefully, let go of Lin Hong, and the Lakers were also played by Lin Hong.

The mid-range is almost half of the hits, the efficiency is amazing, but the free throws are always a little over 60, 13 of 8, reaching 61.6.

At first glance, with 50% field goal percentage and 61.3% free throw percentage, you must choose the front.

But the problem is that Lin Hong's finishing efficiency is not 50% when he goes down to the basket, and Van Gundy wants to curse, even as high as 80%.

The Rainman has committed 4 fouls. After leaving a little space to exit, the old oak Charles Oakley was replaced and continued to foul.

Playing normally, Lin Hong led the team to play with an efficiency of over 6%.

However, if Lin Hong is released and foul tactics are used to delay, Van Gundy's efficiency of full play before is 5%, and this value may have room for downward fluctuations.

The weight of the two is the lesser!
The Knicks can't do anything about it at this time. With O'Neal being entangled by Rodman, all the inside players are dead-defense mid-range shots and foul players who must commit fouls at the basket.

Everyone was expecting O'Neal to overturn the opponent and lead the team to break through, but in fact O'Neal was also under a lot of pressure. After seeing Lin Hong stepping to the free throw line again and again, he couldn't help cursing.

"Lin, your riding on the horse is too affecting the viewing experience of the game."

"Damn, Shaq, do you still have the face to criticize me? When you affect the balance of the game, have you checked yourself?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. In a word, your free throws are also ugly and bad!"

O'Neal almost vomited blood watching Lin Hong's free throw, while Lin Hong was staring at the basket and preparing to make a free throw.

"Shh!"

The first free throw is scored!
"You think I want to punish? Then you don't foul me.

As long as you don't take the initiative to foul, I can tear off your home hoop and bring it back to Los Angeles, and put it on our championship trophy this year. "

The second free throw was also scored!

"Shaq, I've done the math, this hoop can hold at least three trophies and it's not too crowded, plus I only have two championship trophies this year!
I've decided, I'll pull one basket in each home game against you, and the maximum is four, so I need at least... eleven more trophies. "

"Okay, I'm ready to go big!"

The tone of the game has been set, and the Knicks will decisively foul once Lin Hongqiang kills the basket.

Until the end of the second quarter.

Lin Hong's free throws in the first half broke the 20 mark, 21 of 14, 61.9%, this free throw can only be regarded as mediocre.

And Lin Hong's halftime data has reached 30+10, leading the Lakers to hold a 6-point lead.

It's not that the Knicks don't know about this situation, but there's really nothing they can do about it, because if the defensive end targets Lin Hong, it's not the 6-point difference.

And now...

It has to be said that it is the best result for the Knicks.

As for the Knicks data.

O'Neal only scored 6 points in the first quarter, but scored 10 points in the second quarter. The lone wolf Marbury began to focus on organization after reflection.

However, the number of points is low, but the assists are increasing. After all, except for the big sharks, everyone else is pulling away. As long as the transfer does not make mistakes, the shooting environment is still very good.

At 22:17 of the first quarter, the defensive strength of both sides was amazing.

At 30:29 in the second quarter, the efficiency of both sides has improved after the tactical change.

But if the game continues like this, the Knicks are basically useless, but considering that all players have to rotate, as long as the rotation changes, the situation will change again, and the opportunity will come.

……

The Knicks let go of Lin Hong because of two three-person connections centered on the old Curry.

Horry's performance on the offensive end is okay.

But what if Kobe, who feels hotter, plays, or Horry plays?
As long as there is another one, even if Lin Hong is still there, one of the two three-person connections will be broken. As a result, the Lakers' tactics will be greatly reduced, and the Knicks will no longer have to actively foul Lin Hong.

This is just the offensive end of the Lakers.

On the defensive end, the main direction of the Knicks is to limit Kobe, which is also the significance of the presence of old Curry.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the Silver Foxes to use the old Curry at the point guard position, and once the old Curry participates in the rotation, the Knicks' offense can be improved again.

Taking offense and defense into account, Van Gundy still thinks about Lin Hong.

If Lin Hong, the key core, is off the court, then the Lakers' offense and defense will be weakened by more than one level, and he made the substitute insider take the initiative to foul and at the same time gave a task, which is to try his best to consume Lin Hong's physical energy and compress it as much as possible. Lin Hong's playing time.

……

The Knicks can think of it, and the Lakers can naturally think of it.

Lin Hong glanced at Yinhu where the old god was present, and Yinhu nodded to show that he knew it well.

The Lakers' substitutions in the second half shocked the jaws of many fans. They took the initiative to replace Lin Hong with Campbell and cut off a three-man connection on the offensive end.

The old Curry has a defensive task and will not move for the time being, and also maintained the second three-person connection of the old Curry, Kobe, and Horry.

But the second three-person connection is based on Lin Hong's defense and rebounding, but Rodman is the rebounding leader, which is enough to ensure the operation of the second three-person connection.

Although one line is missing, the Lakers are still acceptable.

……

"Coach, can you do it?" Sitting off the court, Lin Hong looked at Silver Fox Harris worriedly.

"Why can't it work? Don't forget, I am Harris the Silver Fox."

"Silver Fox?? Such a coquettish nickname!!"

"Cough..." Yinhu coughed dryly, thinking... such a provocative nickname can't calm you down, kid?
"Leaving aside the matter of your nickname, do you want everyone to hold on for a while and give me time to rest?"

"That's right." Yinhu glanced at the anxious Lin Hong, and said slowly:
"I know you think you shouldn't rest at this time, but sometimes blindly letting the core play an advantage is often counterproductive. The more you play, the more you lose, and the more you play, the less you dare to change players."

Indecisiveness leads to disaster? !

Lin Hong didn't expect Yinhu to have such a high awareness. Although the reason is very simple, there are not many people who can really keep calm on the field, and Yinhu Harris is indeed one of them.

"Hey, don't worship me so much!"

"The pattern is bigger, don't worry too much about the immediate gains and losses."

"Let's keep playing, maybe the third quarter will continue to open the score, I'm sure, but the fourth quarter?

When you run out of energy, the initiative is handed over to the opponent. I don't want to take the risk of making mistakes, at least I don't want to take it in the fourth quarter. "

"So I adjust your playing time to detonate the risk in advance, so as to firmly control the rhythm of the game in our hands in the fourth quarter."

Risk of early detonation?

Are you sure you're not in a cocoon?
Although he was a little worried, Lin Hong still praised Yinhu for his decisiveness and wit.
