This Forward is Not Serious

"beep!"

With a whistle and cheers from the fans, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain officially kicked off.

Gortat jumped high and moved the ball back to the Lakers half, and the home team got the opportunity to attack first!

From the very beginning of the game, Paul showed a strong desire to attack.

He didn't even call a pick-and-roll, he went straight through Billups to the free throw line and shot!

"Uh-huh!"

The knife rises and falls with the hand, cleanly!

If the mentality of Lakers fans at the beginning is the same as that of Johnson, it is a mentality that the Lakers are about to win the championship.

So now, Paul is telling them with goals:

Yes, you are right!

When they returned to the defensive end, the Lakers also resolutely attacked Lin Ying, not even giving him a chance to catch the ball easily.

"boom!"

Butler's layup was directly blocked by Gasol!

The Lakers' offensive and defensive quality in the opening game was very high.

The ball was a floor ball, and Kobe fought hard to get it.

When your team leaders are working so hard, it's not surprising at all that the Lakers are in this state at the beginning!

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe caught the ball in the high post early and played behind the ball.

Butler's defense at this time was perfect, but Kobe turned around and took a shot against his interference and hit!

According to the Lakers' past habits, Kobe will not start his personal offensive mode until at least the second quarter.

This unusual style of play can only mean one thing:

The Lakers want to knock the Nets down as soon as possible!

I'll kill you while you're sick, so you won't have long nights and lots of dreams!

"Dang!"

Billups' opening shot was interfered by Kobe and missed.

The Lakers started the game with such intensity that Phil Jackson clearly told Sloan that Lin Ying couldn't do it without playing.

This is not good news for the Nets.

If the Nets want to win tonight, Lin Ying's explosion is an inevitable condition.

However, players' physical fitness is limited. If they start to play hard too early, how to play later will be a big problem.

In a blink of an eye, the Lakers attacked the frontcourt, and Paul continued to break through Billups with the ball. His layup caused a foul on Yi Jianlian's defender.

Paul went to the free throw line and made two free throws with a relaxed expression and a smile.

The Lakers beat the Nets 6-0 in the opening game!

The cheers at the scene could not stop.

"Charles, I think you are right, the Lakers have locked up the championship."

In the commentary box, Johnson also felt that the poisonous milk was no longer enough to defeat the Lakers, so he turned to Barkley and said.

"Lin hasn't made a move yet. He scored 52 points in the third quarter of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals."

Brin on the side replied, and when he mentioned 52, he emphasized it.

Lin Ying's performance in that game surpassed everyone, even Jordan had never done it.

"That's a miracle."

Johnson admitted as much.

“But do miracles happen often?”

Johnson continued.

Brin was speechless for a moment.

Buckley hesitated, and finally nodded with a smile.

That's what I say, but...

How can someone who has witnessed a miracle not expect it to happen again?

On the court, Lin Ying has already started the offensive mode.

Although he will be double-teamed as soon as he catches the ball, he can't hide his desire to score.

A turnaround breakthrough followed by a pull-up fadeaway jumper.

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Ying's shot hit the target steadily!

This is the regular season MVP this season!

The Nets finally scored!

After returning to the defensive end, Lin Ying opened his voice.

"Do the best you can!"

After saying that, he pounced on Kobe, who was holding the ball and preparing to attack.

The other members of the Nets looked at each other and instantly started running away.

Since the Lakers want to defeat them at the beginning, then... let's have a good fight!

Kobe got rid of Lin Ying and found a chance to take action.

But Butler's defense was quickly in place, and he jumped up hard to block Kobe's shooting space.

Kobe made a dodge pass in the air and passed the ball directly to Paul who was cutting inside.

Paul caught the ball and made a flying layup.

"boom!"

Chandler got over Gortat's block, and his long arm slapped Paul's shot directly off the court!

There was a commotion in the place.

The Lakers' offense is playing well.

But the Nets' defense is so tough!

After blocking the shot, Chandler roared and clashed with Butler.

Their offense may not be as good as the Lakers, but they have no fear of anyone on defense!

Sloan nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines.

Whether they can play high-quality defense determines whether the Nets have the possibility of winning tonight.

The Lakers' sideline ball came out, and Paul's shot after the pick-and-roll was saved by Chandler and missed!

Yi Jianlian recovered the basket early and caught Gortat to get the defensive rebound.

When he returned to the offensive end, Lin Ying continued to attack from the flank.

This time he did not choose a jump shot, but accelerated a layup from the gap and caused Ariza's defensive foul.

Ariza's movement was a bit big this time, and Lin Ying was pulled to the ground.

But he quickly stood up, shook his hand and walked straight to the free throw line.

Despite the interference, he made two free throws steadily.

The rest of the Nets couldn't score in the opening game, but Lin Ying scored 4 points in a row.

In the stands, Jordan reached out and rubbed his chin after seeing this scene.

He has recently been addicted to gambling and women, and has not paid much attention to basketball.

He only paid attention to it when Kobe Bryant said that Lin Ying had 50 points in three quarters.

Part of the reason why he came here tonight was to take a look at Lin Ying.

It seems that Grover has trained this boy well!

I wonder if we can get this guy to Charlotte?

He was a little mistaken at first, but there is always room for redemption.

"Michael, I had a sweet dream while I was sleeping during the day."

At this moment, the young model female companion on the side spoke.

"Oh, what kind of dream was that?"

Jordan looked away from the court and glanced down sideways and asked.

…

On the field, Lin Ying played a bit fiercely.

After scoring a few points, he tried to start passing the ball.

However, the Lakers' defense was so good that they were always able to quickly cover up the defense, and other people's shots were interfered with and missed one after another.

So Lin Ying had no choice but to attack with all kinds of force.

Many times he couldn't put the ball into the basket, but his excellent confrontation always earned him a whistle.

It's just that it's a bit unbearable to watch being criticized from time to time.

Fortunately, this was in Los Angeles and Swift was not present, otherwise it would be really heartbreaking.

However, his style of play still paid off.

The Lakers were beaten defensively.

If he doesn't shrink, Lin Ying will be in foul trouble if he hits the Lakers' two starting big men like this.

It was at this time that the Nets' perimeter finally began to fire.

Yi Jianlian has one in the left corner, and Billups has one outside the three-point line on the right.

With two consecutive three-pointers, the Nets finally closed the score.

After the first quarter, the score on the court was 20-25.

The Nets trailed, but not by much.

Moreover, the Lakers were limited to only 25 points in the first quarter, and their defense in this quarter was still very successful.

Generally speaking, the first quarter is the most energetic quarter, and it is also the easiest quarter to score.

The Lakers had that trend at the beginning, and the Nets were able to force it down.

It’s just that Lin Ying is so difficult!

He played the entire first quarter and was now gasping for air on the sidelines.

In order to compress the Lakers' defensive space, he consumed much more physical energy than expected.

And, this is only the first quarter!

Jordan in the stands stared blankly at Lin Ying on the field.

Some long-distant memories were awakened.

This is too similar to the scene when he faced the Pistons.

But after he came to his senses, he immediately shook his head.

The boy is still a little behind!

After Grover helped him develop an iron frame, he was no longer afraid of this.

But Lin Ying has been practicing with Grover for three years, and he can still barely reach the level he was before he practiced.

Although speaking of it, this seems to be the player closest to him at that time besides Kobe.

But, it's not enough.

You can't win the game in front of you this way!

On the Nets bench, Deron looked at Lin Ying and clenched his fists unconsciously.

Although he had convinced himself, seeing Lin Ying working so recklessly made him feel full of self-blame.

But, he couldn't do anything.

Phil Johnson walked over to Lin Ying and sat down next to him, asking about his physical condition.

Lin Ying nodded to indicate that he was fine.

After Johnson left, he looked up at the score on the LED screen.

Although the physical exertion is a bit high, the results are still very good.

Not only the score, but more importantly the quality of defense.

If they persist for another half and drag the Lakers into a defensive quagmire, the Nets can at least drag the game into the decisive moment.

And another unexpected gain is the number of fouls committed by the Lakers. Gasol and Gortat, the two starting insiders, both committed two fouls.

This is also good news for the Nets.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Butler led the team on the court.

He was in good form today. He scored 4 points in the first quarter, which was already the second highest score after Lin Ying.

And having good physical strength is also a good thing, because there are always opportunities to be found on the court.

For example, right now, he directly blocked Mayo's breakthrough.

A 2+1 in the fast break, and when the extra free throw was hit, the point difference was immediately reduced to one goal.

At this moment, there was a detail on the sidelines. Paul pleaded with Phil Jackson to let him play early.

This scene seems familiar. When he was still in the Hornets, Paul once smiled and "begged" the then head coach Byron Scott to let him play.gif.

What these two times have in common is that this was not Paul's playing time.

This kind of appearance will disrupt the coach's original tactical arrangements.

However, it can still be seen that Paul's competitive spirit is still very strong.

And tonight he has even more reason to be competitive.

If he can't help the team win without Deron, then he won't be able to overcome the difficulties in his own heart, not to mention the outside world.

Phil Jackson didn't agree at first, but Paul was really unyielding.

It was during this period that Iverson's breakthrough caused a foul on Farmar. After making two free throws, Iverson directly helped the Nets tie the score.

Jackson finally smiled and nodded.

Paul trotted all the way to the technical table and substituted before the game continued!

At this moment, the Lakers were chasing points, and Paul's appearance also attracted a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Then, he came up and cut off Butler!

And after the steal, he quickly went down and scored a layup!

Such a performance instantly set off the stadium.

Maybe Paul was suppressed by Deron before, but what he lost in the past, he will double it tonight!

Iverson missed a long shot, and Paul controlled the rhythm after getting the ball.

After a wave of organization in the frontcourt, he made a fake fax and hit a layup, which also caused Brand's thug to foul!

After successfully causing the foul, Paul roared excitedly and ran under the basket to punch the mat.

Without Delong, no one can really suppress him!

On the sidelines, Deron's fists clenched tighter.

If he were on the field...

Soon, his attitude turned into...

Why, he is the unlucky one!

Mood disorder is a disease!

Lin Ying stood up from the bench.

Although Paul's early appearance disrupted his rest plan, he must play.

Sloan was unequivocal.

He knew this was something Lin Ying had to overcome.

To become someone like Jordan requires not only personal ability, but also the will to compete!

"beep!"

There was a short whistle on the sidelines, and Lin Ying came on to replace Butler.

After less than two minutes of rest, Lin Ying came on again!

There was a commotion in the place.

Even as an opponent, Lin Ying still made them admire him tonight.

Moreover, because of the outstanding performances of Iverson and Deron, Lin Ying seemed not to be that important.

But maybe only at this time will other people realize that Lin Ying is the thickest and last wall of the Nets!

Paul's extra free throw hit, 25-30, and the Lakers continued to lead by 5 points.

The Nets have the ball.

Lin Ying and Iverson played a two-man game. After splitting, they cut in and received Iverson's pass to attack the basket.

The Lakers were shrinking, and Paul was also shrinking, and after seeing Lin Ying about to lay up, he jumped directly on Lin Ying.

This was a tactical foul. I would rather send Lin Ying to the free throw line than let him score easily.

But what happened next was truly shocking.

Because Lin Ying faced the two men in front of him and Paul put the ball into the basket!

Even the referee only reacted and blew the whistle after seeing the goal.

Is this the person who just did a whole session? !

In the stands, Jordan reluctantly nodded after seeing this scene.

This is what it looks like.

For this level of defense, you have to let your opponent know that if three people don't attack you, you will lose points!

Lin Ying's goal is wonderful, but even more wonderful things are yet to come.

Paul originally wanted to hold Lin Ying back, but unfortunately he failed and his own body was pulled out of balance by Lin Ying.

As a result, what should have been two-handed force became one-hand force. At this moment, after he landed, he squatted there with his hands on his shoulders and an expression of great pain.

The fans initially focused on Lin Ying and did not notice Paul at all.

When Lin Ying was about to add a penalty, everyone reacted and the Lakers team doctor ran onto the court.

After some negotiation, Paul also tried to keep his arm moving.

However, it didn't work.

When he got to the bench, Paul was still trying hard, but in the end he still couldn't get what he wanted.

In the end, he was so helpless that he punched the bench with his other hand.gif!

However, such venting cannot change anything.

In the end, under the disbelieving eyes of the fans, Paul stood up with a look of annoyance and frustration and left the field accompanied by the team doctor!

Delong had been clenching his fists, but he was stunned for a while when he saw this.

Lin Ying also scratched his head.

He suddenly remembered what Deron had asked him in the hospital.

"Am I an unlucky person?"

He didn't know how to answer that sentence, but now he suddenly felt that Paul might be more suitable for the title of "unlucky guy" than Deron.

Because Paul has a passive attribute in history, he will always fall behind when the team is most critical to the championship.

Or an injury, or something else.

Now that he has traveled through time, the butterfly effect has changed a lot of things.

But, it didn't change this!

Thanks to Dianlu and Huangnanyuan for the reward!
