Nba: My Power Is Invincible!

The Raptors have many players who can play, and Kevin O'Neal can have more matching options when arranging the lineup.

In the second quarter, Vince Carter and Chris Bosh led the bench.

The other three were Rod Strickland, Lamond Murray and Maurice Peterson.

Lamond Murray has been outstanding since the first round of the series.

The coaching staff has been giving him consistent playing time.

Although there is not much playing time, it is very rare for Lamond Murray.

So every time he plays, Ramon Murray will do his best.

No holds barred on both ends of the floor.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the main players were replaced.

The fans at the scene saw how ugly a game can be.

Almost broke the rim of Scotiabank Arena.

Chris Bosh still continued his offensive form in the first quarter.

Transform into a blacksmith and become the biggest undercover Raptor in the game.

For the Knicks, Vin Baker and Frank Williams are also working hard.

Only "African Mountain" Mutombo performed reasonably well.

After returning from this quarter, he scored 6 points in a row and hit shots with his height advantage.

He also blocked two shots for the Raptors 28 players.

There is a price to pay for the reasonable allocation of the main players' playing time.

The overall strength of the Raptors' second lineup is still good.

But today's shooting feel is really hard to describe.

At the critical moment, the ball can only be passed to Vince Carter, who has a better touch, for individual singles.

Kevin O'Neal is in no hurry to send Lin Yue and Alvin Williams to the court.

Since the Knicks have not caught up with the score yet, the second team can hold on for a while to let the main force rest.

It was just the crazy fight in the second quarter that hurt the eyes of Raptors fans.

The fans at the scene were drowsy.

For the first time, I felt that the Raptors without Lin Yue were such a boring team.

Five minutes later, the two sides made substitutions with tacit agreement.

At the same time, the team's starting lineup was deployed, and the scoring efficiency was immediately visible to the naked eye.

Wilkens' adaptability is still as poor as ever.

After Lin Yue returned to the court, he did not immediately replace the "African Mountain" Mutombo.

On the contrary, it is because Uncle Mu has played very well during this period.

He hopes he can play longer and continue to contribute offensively and defensively.

Mutombo, who was seen moving slowly laterally, did not come off the field.

Lin Yue doesn't respect the old and the young on the court.

As soon as he came on the court, he used the screen to seize the opportunity.

A 45-degree three-pointer from the right side.

In the next round, he engaged in a pick-and-roll with Alvin Williams in the middle.

After catching the ball, he hit a mid-range jumper.

Two consecutive hits.

Wilkens noticed something was wrong.

Mutombo was soon replaced by the faster Tim Thomas.

A double Thomas lineup is used again.

The idea of ​​continuing to use "African Mountains" was abandoned.

But at this time, Lin Yue had already hit the rhythm.

Individuals continue to score points with continuous inside and outside shooting.

Even in the face of double teams, he dared to use turnaround and fadeaway jumpers.

Almost one person can compete with the entire Knicks team.

The Knicks' Marbury and Alan Houston also used their personal abilities to score frequently.

Help the team continue to hold on to the score.

Lin Yue, who played at home today, did not enjoy the treatment of the home whistle.

Many referees selectively ignore contact on the break.

The foul was not immediately punished.

As Lin Yue thought before, the New York Knicks took care of themselves from the league whistle.

This allowed the Raptors to get at least 6 to 8 fewer free throws.

But even so, the Knicks still lag behind.

Lin Yue's shooting percentage on the offensive end is too high.

They simply couldn't stop the scoring.

Lin Yue could only be forced to pass the ball through double-team defense.

Let Lin Yue's scoring be transferred to other players.

At halftime, the Raptors were 70:60.

Leading the Knicks on the road by a full 10 points.

Lin Yue made 14 of 17 shots in the half, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws.

Scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

The shooting percentage was as high as 82.3%, and he only missed 3 shots in total.

It can be said that he behaves like a nuclear weapon!

Marc Andreessen commented on the match at halftime:

"I think what the fans want to know most today is not who is going to win the game between the two teams.

It's about how many points Hercules can score.

By halftime he had scored 35 points.

If the Knicks can't find a way to limit Lin Yue in the second half.

He is likely to break the previous career scoring record of 60 points. "

Partner Tom Horvath said:

"No player in Raptors history has scored 60 points in a first-round series and a second-round series.

Lin Yue seems likely to break the team record. "

"Hercules dares to fight no matter what defensive intensity he faces.

His mentality will not be affected by the opponent's defensive actions.

This is one of the important factors that led to Lin Yue's success in his rookie season. "

Marc Andreessen had a smile on his face:

“I don’t think the Knicks are afraid to piss off Lin Yue with their defensive behavior.

Even if coach Wilkens thinks so.

There is a high probability that the players under his command would not dare to attack Hercules head-on.

Don’t forget, this guy is the most dangerous person in the league!”

Wilkens certainly doesn't want to see Lin Yue break his personal scoring record at the Knicks' home court.

But there really is no one on the team suitable to defend Lin Yue.

Kurt Thomas is the only one who plays decent defense. ?

He has strong physical attributes.

Others are either too slow or too weak.

It's hard to go head-to-head with Lin Yue.

In the second quarter, Knicks rookie Michael Sweetney played defense for two rounds.

As a result, when defending the pick-and-roll, Lin Yue was easily thrown behind him and succeeded in a breakthrough dunk.

During the defensive counterattack, Lin Yue relied on him to force a layup, causing a defensive foul.

Both were rookies in the 2003 class.

Sweetney, who is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 947,120 kilograms, was the ninth pick in the first round.

But Lin Yue's speed is simply much faster than him.

You can get rid of his defense in one step just by relying on explosive power.

The total time the two faced off on the court did not exceed two minutes.

Sweetney was replaced by head coach Wilkens.

Because the two of them are not players of the same level at all.

If the fight continues, Sweetney's mentality will definitely begin to collapse.

He was beaten like this when facing Lin Yue.

As the ninth pick in the first round, he felt like a minnow.

Initially, Sweetney considered it an honor to be selected by an NBA team in the first round lottery.

After the battle with Lin Yue.

Sweetney suddenly found her status as a lottery pick more of a travesty.

New York fans were disgusted by his performance.

It is believed that his regular season averages of 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game are not worthy of becoming a lottery pick.

Now New York fans have been calling out the team's front office.

After Lin Yue's contract expires, he must be signed into the team.

Regardless of the contract amount offered.

New York fans believe this is one of the shortcuts that can help the Knicks return to glory in a short period of time.

The current outside interest in Lin Yue has put considerable pressure on the Raptors management.

Even the general manager of the team that drafted Lin Yue, Gruenwald, is not completely confident that he can successfully retain Lin Yue after his contract expires.

After all, the league has not yet introduced the Arenas clause. .
