This Forward is Not Serious

Jump ball in the center circle.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Bosh's long arm moved the ball back to the Knicks' half, and the game officially started!

James advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and immediately discovered that the Suns' defense... was all aimed at him!

The Suns defended a 2-3 zone defense, and this zone defense was a little different.

Except for Lin Ying staring at him out of position, the focus of the zone defense is not on him holding the ball, but on Wade.

Gentry has the Knicks' Big Three in place.

The biggest problem for the Knicks is James' shooting.

Shrinking the basket, and then making defensive arrangements for the two players' breakthroughs, this is a stick hitting the Knicks seven inches.

Gentry is a great gift to D'Antoni, the master.

When James saw Lin Ying, he immediately chose to break out.

He has practiced more ball handling this summer and also lost weight. It must be because the Suns still use Lin Ying to guard him...

Hey, why didn't you go there again? !

A familiar picture immediately came to mind.

Lin Ying: Sorry, I also lost weight!

James: # *\u0026￥\u0026￥!

James didn't break in and gave the ball to Wade.

As soon as Wade caught the ball, except for Lin Ying who followed James, everyone else's defensive focus turned to Wade.

Then, Wade passed Nash in one step, passing through the Suns' defensive formation like lightning, and scored inside with a flying shot.

This joint defense prevented loneliness.

Really, so fast!

Different from James's wide open and close, Wade uses speed and skill. It is not that easy to defend this kind of breakthrough!

This is with Wade at his peak! The kind that can be as famous as the peak Kobe!

Knicks, come out on top!

In the transition from offense to defense, the Knicks' defense focused on Nash and Stoudemire.

Lin Ying's strongest move now is mismatched singles, but the Knicks' starting lineup is not easy to beat.

It's even possible that James' switch to point guard took into consideration the match against the Suns.

Physically speaking, Lin Ying has no absolute advantage over anyone.

Take Gallinari as an example. This player who some fans think is a typical white shooter is actually a very tough player. He especially likes to hold the ball and rush inside to dunk. The defensive end is also underestimated.

It can be said that both sides are quite targeted.

Lin Ying is running without the ball.

He had already thought about how to beat the Knicks many times in his mind.

The situation in front of me was also expected.

With Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, Lin Ying ran out into the open mid-range and received Nash's pass.

"boom!"

A mid-range shot at a 45° angle hit the target steadily.

His movement is very particular!

Both sides showed a good competitive state at the beginning!

Looking back, Wade drove to the basket again. The Suns' zone defense shrank and Wade's shot missed, but Bosh directly made up the ball with his long arm!

What is different from history is that Bosh did not transform into a space perimeter. His scoring was still concentrated in the mid-range to the penalty area.

Although James has not scored yet, Wade and Bosh fired one after another. The Knicks' offensive firepower is quite fierce.

Lin Ying continued to run without the ball in the frontcourt, and James quickly made up the defense.

And James' eyes revealed a murderous intent.

It is true that James wants to take revenge on the sun, and it is also true that he wants to "kill" Lin Ying!

Because if Lin Ying hadn't restricted him, the Cavaliers wouldn't have been swept last year!

Not to mention Lin Ying's crying expression on the car!

The perfect player persona is for the media and fans to see, but how can a person not have all kinds of emotions?

Lin Ying made a back-up move, then hit the ball from behind to Allen, who was cutting in from the weak side.

Allen's timing of the cut was very good.

But the moment he took action, a figure suddenly jumped up and gave him a slap in the face!

Wade!

Wade is the shot-blocking leader among active guards in the NBA!

With one James and one Wade, the Knicks really rely on individual talents to solve their defensive problems!

This time the Knicks successfully launched a fast break. James caught the ball and ran down quickly, then took a step inside the free throw line and rose into the air.

"Bang!"

The iconic tomahawk chop!

The emotions of the fans at the scene were instantly ignited!

Ballmer stood up from his position excitedly, stroking his bald head while pumping his fist and shouting excitedly towards the court.

The atmosphere at this stadium is great!

For a moment, Lin Ying had the illusion that the Knicks would win the championship this season.

Nash tried to play a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and then broke through to the three-second zone for horseback shooting.

This is his specialty, and the defensive interference caused by Bosh on this ball is also very small.

"Dang!"

But Nash missed the hit!

His current condition is indeed not very good.

The Knicks once again played a fast break, and James once again flew to the frontcourt after holding the ball.

His speed has indeed improved a lot after losing weight. It is not obvious in positional battles, but it is very obvious in fast breaks.

Then, Lin Ying followed!

The ball in front was missed by James, and he retreated in advance consciously.

So this time James reached the frontcourt and had no room to take a direct shot.

But at this moment, James threw the ball into the air on the wing, and a figure suddenly rose into the air.

Janeway is connected!

Lin Ying turned around and thought it was too late to guard against Wade.

"Bang!"

Wade grabbed the ball in the air and made a sinking dunk, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands.

Lin Yingxi brought a background board.

Madison Square Garden is on fire again.

Ballmer stood up again before his butt got hot from sitting. This time he clenched his hands and shouted, he was so excited.

Thinking about it now, being able to invest money in something he loves is also a blessing for him now!

2 to 8!

The Knicks suppressed the Suns in the opening game!

"Defend! Defend!"

And the continuous fast breaks have already made the fans at the scene excited.

Just destroying the defending champion in one go would be so exciting!

The Suns are indeed in a dangerous situation now.

And the crux of the problem is that they can't score the ball.

When it comes to fast breaks, D'Antoni, the master, does understand it better than Gentry, the apprentice.

Lin Ying had another fast break opportunity, but James's defense speed after losing weight was even more outrageous. Lin Ying caught the ball and he was in place again.

Moreover, the others also fully trusted James. They all spread out and positioned themselves inside, obviously blocking Lin Ying's passing route.

This is not a defensive system, it is a standard D'Antoni individual defensive operation.

The Suns are also using it, so they are very familiar with it.

At this time, Lin Ying can either play hard in singles, or hand the ball back to Nash.

He chose the former.

Nash is in a bad state right now, and if he hands it over, he is likely to be counterattacked by the Knicks.

But in his case, he is now almost 15 feet away on the right side. He is still certain to hit James from this distance.

how to spell?

In terms of speed, if he can keep up with James, James can keep up with him.

Offense and defense are different. The two of them are now most likely to lock each other.

But Lin Ying has a skill that James doesn't have, and that's why he mastered it.

Back slap!

He poked his butt and felt James' power first.

The confrontation between the two was almost the same, and he had a slight advantage.

This is similar to the matchup situation between the two last season. After all, they have both lost weight, and they have lost almost the same amount.

But fighting from behind involves both strength and skill.

He used his strength to gouge James, forcing James to lower his center of gravity, then fake turned towards the baseline, then turned around and wiped towards the basket.

Because he didn't know how to hit from behind, James was a little unsure about the reality of this move, so he asked Lin Ying to pass it over.

However, with his physical talent, it was unrealistic for Lin Ying to get past him like this, so he chased after him with all his strength.

"boom!"

But just when he was gathering strength and preparing to block Lin Ying's shot, Lin Ying's choice surprised him again.

Lin Ying hit the ground hard while walking, and Lin Ying stopped the ball!

He didn't stop the car due to inertia. When he stopped, Lin Ying had already turned around and sent the ball into the basket with a light movement!

James immediately signaled to the referee that the ball was walked!

Referee: ...serve from the backcourt!

This is a standard drop step to stop the ball, a dream step!

Lin Ying looked at James with a smile at this time: Do you want to learn? Let me teach you! The kind that charges tuition!

Looking back, Wade broke through to the basket and took a shot that caused Frye's thug.

Although they use zone defense, the Suns' interior defensive capabilities are indeed a problem this season.

Last season, Lin Ying's role in helping to defend the interior when he played power forward was underestimated.

Facts have proved that Frega Stoudemire's inside combination is not much better at protecting the penalty area than the opposite Bosh-Guden combination.

Gentry turned and called Robin Lopez from the bench, who came in to replace Frye.

Wade made two free throws.

4 to 10.

The Knicks continue to lead.

Nash and Stoudemire continued to pick and roll, and Stoudemire separated the ball and missed the ball from mid-range.

Lopez, who just came on the court, picked up offensive rebounds, which is what he is good at.

He did not rush to attack, but gave the ball to Lin Ying nearby.

The distance between Lin Ying's station and the basket is about the same as in the previous round. The only difference is that he changed from the right side of the basket to the left side.

Lin Ying caught the ball and James immediately followed it up.

It seems that the round just now was not a special case. D'Antoni's strategy tonight was very direct.

If you use Lin Ying to defend me against James, then I will also use James to defend you, Lin Ying.

Lin Ying, keep turning your back!

I was originally thinking about collecting some tuition fees from James, but looking at the situation, I can only teach on site tonight!

Lin Ying made another hard cut and turned towards the baseline.

James stepped back to prepare for Lin Ying's breakthrough.

But Lin Ying turned around and took action!

James...failed to follow again!

The core of back-fighting is true and false, false and true.

"boom!"

A punching board with a 45° angle on the left.

The basketball fell steadily into the net bag after hitting the board.

Lin Ying scored the Suns' first 6 points tonight!

Especially these two back plays in the past suppressed the momentum of the Knicks' defensive counterattack.

The Knicks hit the fast break directly from the backcourt!

This is the iconic run and gun, but it is still difficult to force a fast attack with this offensive method that the Suns are also good at.

The Suns quickly retreated into position.

Wade broke out again, but this time he was restrained by the zone defense.

Lopez's frame-protecting ability last season was much better than the same period in history after extensive training.

Lopez protected the defensive rebound, and the Suns went on a fast break. Stoudemire followed up with the ball and dodged in the air to score.

His transformation can be considered a small success!

8 to 10!

The point difference has been reduced to 2 points!

The scene was agitated, and the defending champion indeed had some background!

And when they reached the frontcourt, James and Wade suddenly didn't know how to play.

In fact, neither of them has outside range, and there is no compatibility in positional warfare.

This is also the reason why the Heat used a flanking defensive counterattack tactic similar to George Karl's in history, and why they can play run-and-gun now.

They need to bring the game into a running game and avoid getting into position.

Therefore, the lead at the beginning and the deadlock on the scene are both manifestations of this characteristic.

The ball finally got to Bosh, who hit Stoudemire's turnaround jumper with his back.

Stoudemire's defense on this ball was very tough, Bosh's shot missed the basket, and Lopez collected another defensive rebound.

It may be strange to say it, but Lopez is the only serious center on both sides of the court.

The Knicks retreated quickly this time, and the Suns advanced into the frontcourt.

Nash directly signaled everyone to pull away this time, and then asked Lin Ying to catch the ball in a position on the right to prepare for a singles.

As far as Lin Ying's back-striking success rate is concerned, if he doesn't hit him, he's not a human being.

James failed to guard twice in a row, and this time he directly pushed Lin Ying to about 20 feet.

Because the NBA now has a 5-second post-up rule, it is still not easy for Lin Ying to start a post-up from this position.

Especially since he doesn't have the skills of a small forward or swingman right now.

James was ready to deal with Lin Ying's face-to-face attack, but Lin Ying still hit him from behind!

This is really teaching James N ways to hit from behind!

Lin Ying turned around directly towards the baseline this time.

This decisive move made James quickly move to the right, but as a result, Lin Ying feinted and turned towards the free throw line!

This is Lin Huang’s intention, don’t guess!

But this time Bosh came decisively to help defend.

With Frye off the court and Allen still on the court, the Suns' offensive space is much smaller than before.

Lin Ying saw it and took action quickly in advance.

Moreover, his shot did not take a backward step. It was said to be a shot, but it was more like throwing it on the spot.

"boom!"

This is a slapstick!

And unlike the rebound shot, this ball is not aimed at scoring at all!

By the time Bosh and James reacted, it was too late. Lin Ying had already "swish" passed between the two and rushed into the paint.

Following him, he jumped into the air and grabbed the rebounding ball with both hands.

"Bang!"

Lin Ying caught the ball in the air, and like Wade before, he caught the ball with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket with a squat-style slam!

Unlike Wade, he was much stronger and directly pulled the basket down by two centimeters!

This is an actual slam dunk!

The fans at the scene were dumbfounded, but the Suns bench was excited.

Especially Maddie roared and shook the towel hard.

This is his signature move!

The huge inertia made Lin Ying swing on the basket for a while before landing.

After landing, Lin Ying turned to look at James, who was still stunned.

LeBron, are you a loser?
