This Forward is Not Serious

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 32-26.

The Cavaliers not only overtook the score, but also opened the point difference to 6 points.

The Nets didn't feel very good offensively during this period, and the more fatal problem came from the defensive end.

Tristan Thompson grabbed two offensive rebounds over O'Neal, and the Cavaliers converted them into points with great success.

Originally, the Nets played a high-speed round trip, and this kind of loss of backcourt rebounds was the last thing he could tolerate.

Sure enough, when he got off the court, Karl cursed directly.

After he arrived in Brooklyn, he had a gentle temper and seemed to be a different person. It was only then that the team members discovered that this person was more terrifying than Sloan.

Only Lin Ying, Billups, and Smith looked at each other.

After confirming his eyes, he was still the same Karl he was familiar with before.

Then, at the beginning of the second quarter, Karl replaced Kirilenko and O'Neal with Anderson and Butler.

Carl doesn't care who you are when he's angry.

The Cavaliers asked Irving to lead the team at this time.

Cavaliers field lineup: Irving, Dellavedova, Key, Varejao, Tristan Thompson.

Nets: Livingston, J.R. Smith, Butler, Yi Jianlian, Anderson.

Back, the Cavaliers attacked first, and Irving used Thompson's screen to drive to the basket.

Anderson saw the opportunity and jumped to block the shot, but Irving made a signature "jelly layup" in the air and sent the ball into the basket.gif.

This shot is still cool.

The score difference suddenly reached 8 points.

Karl kept his composure and did not wake Lin Ying up.

However, it can be seen from his face that he is very dissatisfied with the performance of the bench tonight.

JR's movement was entangled by Dellavedova, who was like an Australian hyena.

After Livingston took a look and saw that no one else had a chance, he dribbled the ball to the elbow area, then leaned against Irving and started playing with his back.

After chiseling twice, he decisively chose to turn around and lean back.

Generally speaking, the offensive method of turning and leaning back is exclusive to superstars.

First, this technical action requires relatively high waist and abdominal strength of the players, and second, more importantly, it is the timing of the shot.

There is no absolute certainty as to how the coach would allow a role player to play like this.

But Livingston's movements were very cool, and his sudden turn froze Irving directly in place.gif.

"Uh-huh!"

Livingston threw the ball in!

There was a roar of cheers at the Barclays Center.

The Nets have fierce competition, and Livingston didn't start getting opportunities to play until the Heat game, and there wasn't much time.

In the limited time, what he did more was connection and organization, which is what Karl wanted him to do.

But with this ball just now, he showed his potential on the offensive end.

Of course, this ball is also crucial.

Because if they don't score anymore, the Cavaliers will open the point difference to double digits.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene also cheered for the Nets under the guidance of DJ.

This time Irving and Varejao played a pick-and-roll and rushed in.

Livingston stepped forward to circle around, and Irving accelerated just in time to catch up.

This time it hit me directly.

But Irving's reaction speed was really fast, and he took advantage of the situation and shot sideways.

It's just that Livingston's wingspan is also very long!

That long arm covered Irving's shooting angle.

"Snapped!"

And from this angle, Irving was directly fooled!

This block came suddenly, Butler flew to grab the ball on the floor, and then gave it to JR.

JR took the ball and turned around and stepped down quickly.

The Cavaliers...can't catch up!

When JR starts the fast break, he is like a white horse with a spear.

"Bang!"

JR reached the frontcourt and directly swung the round windmill and smashed the ball into the basket!

As long as you give him a chance, JR can transform into Jordan at any time!

34 to 30!

The point difference was reduced to 4 points!

The fans were cheering for JR's dunk, but Karl looked at Livingston on the court at this time.

Livingston's past offense and defense surprised him.

But it seems that there is nothing surprising.

Livingston was also given high hopes back then, but was ruined by injuries.

And what he may not have noticed is that Livingston is also facing his old club tonight.

After his outstanding performance in the playoffs last season, he also wanted to get a stable long-term contract and stay as a substitute for Irving and Harden.

Even though the salary won't be that much.

But the Cavaliers had no such plan. They only gave him a one-year basic salary.

So instinctively, Livingston will want to prove himself in front of the Cavaliers.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Irving once again broke through the basket. This time he successfully caused damage and caused Yi Jianlian's thug foul.

He walked to the free throw line and made two solid free throws, and the point difference returned to 6 points.

Kidd's formation is still something.

Livingston continued to play singles with Irving in the frontcourt.

This choice is smart.

Because he is confident in playing like this, and it is also a drain on Irving.

Cavaliers, flanked.

The same two points are scored, but different ways of scoring goals have different impacts on the defender.

The way Livingston scored just now was to tell the Cavaliers that he can keep scoring like this.

It was Varejao who came up to attack.

Then, while Livingston turned around and made a fake move, he hit the ground directly from behind!

The ball passed through the gap between Varejao and Irving like magic, and then reached Yi Jianlian's hands!

Not everyone can be called the "successor of the magician"!

After receiving the ball, Yi Jianlian jumped up on the spot and easily dunked the ball into the basket!

There was a burst of cheers.

This time, they were not only cheering for Yi Jianlian, but also for Livingston!

Livingston brought them too many surprises tonight!

"I like him."

On the Nets bench, Cole turned to McMillan and said.

"Then you can teach him to shoot three-pointers."

Lin Ying was standing next to him and said.

Cole turned around after hearing this. After his brain processed the information in Lin Ying's words, he couldn't help laughing.

This episode on the Nets bench reflected the team's mood.

Compared with the nervousness when Karl got angry earlier, the performance of the substitutes in this period made them relax.

"Dang!"

Irving's shot after his breakthrough missed.

After returning from the second quarter, the Cavaliers have been attacking him. Coupled with Livingston's targeting, the physical exhaustion is visible.

Anderson jumped high and grabbed the defensive rebound.

It's fast break time for the Nets again.

Livingston and Smith faced off against Dellavedova in a 2-on-1 frontcourt.

Livingston controlled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, glanced at Smith, and directly asked Dellavedova to turn his defensive focus to Smith.

But the next second, Livingston was already in the air, gliding with his hands and smashing the ball into the basket!

This set the Barclays Center on fire again.

"He can also dunk!"

Even in the commentary box, Brin couldn't help but praise him.

He was somewhat impressed by Livingston, the "successor of the magician."

But he really couldn't remember the last time Livingston dunked.

After suffering such an injury to the knee, it takes a lot of courage to think about jumping and dunking again.

Harden's eyes widened as he stood up to get ready to play.

Livingston didn't dunk in the Cavaliers last season!

Coupled with his performance in this period, it is really a shame for the management not to keep him.

"beep!"

There was a short whistle on the sidelines and both sides made substitutions.

For the Cavaliers, Harden and Hawes come on, replacing Varejao and Irving.

On the Nets side, Lin Ying comes on and replaces Butler.

The score on the court is now 36 to 34. After Livingston's dunk, the Nets have narrowed the point difference to one goal.

Harden came up and took advantage of Hawes' pick-and-roll to break through with the ball, and European-stepped past Anderson and scored on the board.

Kidd really knows how to use this pair of backcourt guns.

Giving enough space and leading the team separately can maximize the abilities of the two.

It's really not that easy for the Nets to turn the score over.

Lin Ying tried to create a mismatch without the ball in the frontcourt but failed, so he simply relied on the basic ball with his back.

Livingston fed the ball in, and Harden directly flanked him.

This is decisive enough.

Lin Ying was also very decisive in returning the ball, and after giving it, he turned around and walked towards the basket.

Livingston understood and threw the ball directly over the basket.

His pass is much more comfortable than Iverson's last year!

It can even be said that Lin Ying was led by the ball to jump up, then picked up the ball in the air, and threw the ball directly towards the basket through Thompson who jumped up from defense.

"boom!"

There was a physical confrontation between the two in the air.

Thompson, very hard.

However, Lin Ying's hands were long enough.

He didn't knock Thompson away, but his long arms smashed the ball directly from Thompson's head to the basket!

"Bang!"

Thompson felt a gust of wind blow by his ears, followed by a muffled sound behind him.

Because the distance was so close, it made his ears buzz.

There was an inexplicable silence at the scene, followed by bursts of cheers.

Although Lin Ying has brought them many surprises, they will not be surprised even by what Lin Ying does.

But that buckle just now is so handsome!

"This will be the best dunk of the game today!"

Over at the commentary box, Brin said slightly excitedly.

"No, it's going to be one of the best dunks of the season."

Miller said from the sidelines.

Barkley, Cole, Durant, Stephenson: Hey, do you also want to join the competition for the No. 1 player?

Lin Ying found Livingston and gave him a high-five while retreating.

I feed my teammates cakes all the time, and I am still very happy when I occasionally eat a cake brought to my mouth by my teammates.

At this time, there was another short whistle from the sidelines.

Both sides replaced their main players.

But for the Nets, Karl kept Livingston on the court.

Like J.R. Smith before, Carr is more flexible in lineup rotation than Sloan.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans' emotions were affected by the ball just now, and they spontaneously cheered for the home team.

"boom!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Lin Ying's defense gave Harden a big hat!

When the Cavaliers' sideline ball came out, they were finally blocked for a 24-second violation!

The Nets are getting ready!

"Come on! Nets!"

The fans at the scene continued to cheer for the home team.

Lin Ying took the ball out of his pocket, and he changed direction and passed Hawes, who was changing defense, and went to the basket.

Miles struggled to shrink back, and Hawes attacked back and forth.

But not enough.

Lin Ying ended up hanging on to Miles and the score was 2+1!

In last year's finals, Jordan once made a fishy comment while watching Lin Ying's game.

"You have to make your opponent feel like you're giving away points without having three people double-team you."

Lin Ying did it this season!

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Ying still has an additional penalty.

38 to 39!

The Nets successfully overtook the score!

And after making the penalty, Lin Ying entered the white-hot space.

As the game continues, he is now more and more able to accurately control himself into this state.

Harden continued to break through the basket, he wanted to force the Nets defense to shrink.

He did it.

But his passing intention was predicted by Lin Ying, and he intercepted the ball directly!

Fortunately, Myers reacted quickly and committed a foul on the spot, otherwise the Nets would have taken off with another fast break.

In the frontcourt, Lin Ying continued to catch the ball.

This time his breakthrough directly attracted a triple double-team from the Cavaliers.

Lin Ying distributed the ball.

It was Livingston who caught the ball.

A very good mid-range shooting opportunity.

However, Josh Smith showed his top defensive ability at this time, and he turned around and pounced in surprise.

There is a certain chance that this ball will be risked.

Livingston directly chose to break through!

His speed is not too fast.

He once had the speed to compete with top defenders, but a knee injury made that a thing of the past.

But one thing that hasn't changed is that his height is still there and his steps are still long.

He broke through to the basket in three steps, and then...

Soaring into the sky again!

Obviously, he was high in this section!

But the moment he took off, Hawes had already recovered to the basket.

Hawes doesn't like confrontation, but he doesn't like others dunking on his head, so this time he jumped up and blocked Livingston's shot.

He is 2.16 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.16 meters.

It is basically unrealistic for Livingston to directly dunk.

But Livingston did not back down. He was originally preparing to dunk with both hands, but this time he switched the ball to his left hand in the air to avoid Hawes' block.

"boom!"

Then, he hit the ball into the basket with one hand with his left hand.gif!

The Barclays Center was silent again.

Even at the commentary box, Miller and Brin had their eyes widened.

This is different from the previous fast break dunk ball. This is a standard isolation dunk.

And the target of the dunk was the 2.16-meter center Hawes!

Of course, the most important thing is that it was Livingston who completed the dunk!

The next second, Barclays Center was filled with cheers.

The fans stood up like crazy and cheered for the 2.01 meter point guard, and some fans even waved their fists excitedly.

Lin Ying also had an emotional expression at this time.

The No. 4 pick in the 2004 draft, he was the first high school point guard selected in NBA history and the highest-ranked high school point guard.

He was once evaluated by the media: He can run faster than most defenders and jump higher than most centers. What's even more frightening is that he also has the best passing vision and passing ability. He is The true successor to the magician.

The story after that is well known. Injuries destroyed him. He moved to 8 teams in 6 years, was waived several times, and once had no ball to play.

But now, this sentence may change.

He did have time without the ball, but he was not destroyed by injuries.

Falling down and getting up again and again, being laid off and setting sail again and again.

He has a heart harder than steel.

All he did was try to catch up,

My former self.

Thanks to Xian’an AAA for the reward!
