This Forward is Not Serious

After returning to the defensive end, Tatum, like Kobe, clapped vigorously with both hands in front of his chest, and then glanced fiercely at the teammates around him.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment.

This kid is a bit into the drama.

He reached for the ball, glanced at Sabonis, then jumped up and passed the opponent, and then quickly broke into the inside.

He didn't enter the white-hot space, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't need to.

The stimulation of a series of external events before the game made his entire body in a state of excitement.

Sabonis couldn't keep up with Lin Ying, so he could only straighten his arms and try to interfere with Lin Ying.

But this approach obviously didn't have much effect. Lin Ying broke in much faster than he expected.

However, Lin Ying had no chance to score directly because Tatum's help arrived.

Tatum is not good at defense. There is only one possibility for him to appear in this position. He gave up Tucker who was guarding him in advance, and then helped defend to the basket.

Judging from Stevens' surprised expression on the sidelines, this was obviously not the coaching staff's arrangement.

Then the only possibility is that Tatum is sure that Sabonis can't guard Lin Ying at all.

He really wants to show off!

You can't be wrong about it because it was a really good help defense.

But what he never expected was that Lin Ying did not stop his forward movement after seeing him, but instead pulled the ball high and jumped directly into the air.

After being stunned for a moment, he only had time to reach out.

"Bang!"

In the eyes of the fans, Lin Ying faced Tatu, who was assisting in defense, with a one-handed tomahawk dunk, slamming the ball into the basket!

The huge impact forced Tatum to fly out of the baseline!

Tatum used an advanced assist defense to win himself his first top ten background board this season!

The cheers at the scene exploded instantly!

The last time I saw Lin Ying having such a strong desire to compete was when he played the 76ers in the playoffs last season.

This is extremely exciting news, because in the season when Durant left and the team's strength declined, they needed Lin Ying like this so much!

Kobe was also smiling at this time and reached out to applaud Lin Ying.

In the Celtics' offense, Tatum stood directly on the weak side and hung up.

Imitation is just imitation after all, just like Tatum tried to show his toughness in the last offensive and defensive round, but chose to hang up when he really needed to be tough.

Toughness on the basketball court cannot be demonstrated by just yelling or doing a few celebrations.

The real part of it is that after you are suppressed by your opponent, you can still try your best to fight against it.

At this point, Tatum still has a long way to go.

So in just these few rounds, we can see the changes in Tatum, but those changes are not enough to affect the trend of the game.

If this was the Celtics team from last season, they would probably be in a scoring drought right now.

But this time they didn't, because of Walker.

After Tatum hung up, Walker used DeAndre Jordan's pick-and-roll to break through backwards and hit the basket to score.

Walker is short, which limits his upper limit, but it is precisely because of his short stature that he can give full play to his speed advantage when attacking in misplaced positions.

And his unique skill of changing the direction of his body is really too difficult for Jokic.

Lin Ying continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt. This time Sabonis instinctively took a big step back. Lin Ying saw it and took a step forward, and then made a sudden stop and shot from mid-range.

Sabonis rushed forward hard, but his speed was indeed much slower than Lin Ying, and the interference he could cause by rushing forward was very limited.

Lin Ying took the shot steadily, and the ball flew over Sabonis' head and flew straight towards the basket.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound all over his body, Lin Ying hit his first shot of the night.

The venue was once again filled with cheers from fans.

The previous ball showed Lin Ying's condition, and this ball showed Lin Ying's touch.

The status and feel are all online, how could the fans at the scene not be excited!

A good start, this opening game can explain a lot!

But looking back, the Nets still failed to stop Walker from scoring.

This time Rose bypassed Jordan's pick-and-roll, but Walker broke through directly to the basket and hit the board for another goal!

At this time, the Celtics bench was in a state of excitement, and head coach Stevens was also pumping his fist happily.

The biggest change for the Celtics this year is the introduction of Walker. Judging from the opening, this choice is very correct.

"The Nets' defensive strength on the perimeter has declined a lot."

But at this moment, Kenny Smith put forward his own opinion in the commentary box on the sidelines.

Tucker's presence can make up for the forward defensive pressure left by Ariza.

Even Lu's adjustment was amazing.

Because the partnership between Guy and Lin Ying is similar to the combination of Durant and Lin Ying in the past, but regardless of Guy or Durant, this pairing requires Lin Ying to do a lot on the defensive end.

Durant has firepower, and it is worthwhile for Lin Ying to do this, but Gay obviously cannot.

So in comparison, replacing Tucker to share the defensive pressure so that Lin Ying can devote himself to the offensive end is definitely a coup.

From this point of view, the Nets' signing of Tucker before was definitely a plan for a rainy day.

But the problem is that Tucker can guard the forwards, and even guard the inside like Green for a while, but he can't guard the outside.

The Nets failed to retain Bradley in the summer and failed to find a suitable replacement. This is where the problem of declining perimeter defense that Smith mentioned arose.

"That's bad news, but the good news is they have a season to figure it out."

Buckley on the side immediately took over.

It is better to expose problems at the beginning of the season than at the end of the season. The Nets do have enough time to adjust.

"So it's a solvable problem, but Boston is going to have an unsolvable problem tonight."

Barkley kept talking and looked towards the court.

At the end of his gaze, Lin Ying was once again holding the ball in the frontcourt.

Without Durant and Kobe, Lu's tactical system suddenly lost two sets.

This hurt, but it wasn't fatal because Lin Ying was still there!

Lin Ying has a strong desire to score!

Lin Ying continued to break through, and this time the Celtics directly shrank from both sides, and the three of them formed a pocket formation.

Stevens directed this wave from the sidelines.

Lin Ying's desire to score was too obvious, and Stevens obviously felt it too.

However, Lin Ying has a strong desire to score and is not a stubborn player. He saw the right moment and directly passed the ball diagonally to Crabbe in the weak side corner.

Crabbe dribbled the ball in front of him, and people watching were disappointed, but this time he came to an area where he is good at.

He didn't stop at all after catching the ball. He jumped up and took a quick shot. The entire action was coherent and rapid.

And he also showed the qualities a shooter should have. The ball he shot was very soft and spun towards the basket at high speed.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound of hitting the net, Crabbe redeemed himself and hit a three-pointer!

The scene suddenly burst into cheers from the fans.

Fans are so realistic, as long as you play well, everything will be easy!

Stevens rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Crabbe's three-pointer was strategic.

Because not only did he make the shot, but he was also very smooth, which made the Celtics definitely not dare to attack so wantonly.

But the question is, facing Lin Ying whose condition and touch are both online, can ordinary flanking attack be effective?

Walker repeated his old trick, and this time Rose chose to bypass the defense, giving Walker a certain amount of space to shoot.

Walker made an emergency stop shot from mid-range, but failed to hit.

Walker's breakthrough ability is excellent enough, even better than Paul, but in comparison, his mid-range stability is much inferior.

The rebound was picked off by Gay, and the two sides switched offense and defense.

Although the Nets did not directly launch a defensive counterattack, they advanced very quickly. Lin Ying caught the ball and directly hit the Celtics, who were unable to gain a foothold.

The Celtics' double attack was only a little slower, but Lin Ying had already broken into the paint and scored two more points with a light layup.

The cheers and whistles of the fans at the scene could not stop.

The score is now 6-9.

Except for Crabbe's three-pointer, the Nets' remaining 6 points all came from Lin Ying!

This game lasted less than five minutes. Lin Ying was going to give himself an explosive start to the new season!

Walker made a sudden score in the frontcourt, and Sabonis caught the ball in the bottom corner, but encountered Tucker's defensive interference and failed to make a three-pointer.

The Celtics suddenly fell into a scoring drought.

The live footage showed Tatum in a timely manner, but Tatum hung up for a bit too long.

The Nets' frontcourt also adjusted their tactics, allowing Jokic to hold the ball at the top of the arc and support the three-point line.

At this time, the Nets crossed over and focused on Rose.

But at this time, someone on the Celtics bench was stealing the show. Rondo stood up from the sidelines in advance and shouted to the court.

One second he was pointing to the air, and the next second Rose's figure appeared.

The Nets' tactics didn't work out, and Jokic could only collect the ball and break through.

He showed the top ball-handling skills among big men, and his confrontations in the past two years have indeed increased a lot, and he directly passed Jordan.

Sabonis saw it and was forced to help defend.

Jokic looked up at the basket at this time, and then followed by a throw ball.

Sabonis thought he was going to throw from a long distance, so he turned around and got ready to grab the board.

But when he turned around, he saw a black shadow passing by him.

That was Lin Ying who he should have guarded against!

This is not a throw by Jokic, but an alley-oop pass!

Sabonis reacted, but he could do nothing but look up.

Because Lin Ying's ball was inserted suddenly, the angle was not the most perfect. As a result, he held the ball in the air and performed a sideways gliding chop!

"Bang!"

The moment the ball was smashed into the basket, a muffled sound came through the loudspeaker, and there was an inexplicable silence on the scene.

The next second, the Barclays Center was filled with cheers from the fans.

Kobe couldn't help but excitedly stood up from the audience to cheer and applaud Lin Ying.

Jokic passed the ball beautifully, and Lin Ying's dunk was even more beautiful!

Moreover, this wave of offense by the Nets was unexpected by Stevens. Originally, he wanted to see if a normal double attack would work against Lin Ying, but this wave of offense made him and others realize that the Nets And Jokic!

The Nets spent a super maximum salary to re-sign Jokic in the summer. Even if the Nets change from a three-core to a dual-core, the strength of this dual-core should not be underestimated!

Then, Lin Ying had already scored 8 points!

With Tucker helping to wipe his butt, Klara opening up space, and Jokic delivering cannonballs, Lin Ying has entered an immersive scoring mode!

And soon enough, on the next turn, Stevens also knew the answer to his question.

Tatum finally ended the hangup and went online again, holding the ball in singles again, but he was completely blocked by Tucker for one shot, and finally managed to make a shot that hit the edge of the basket and popped out.

When the offense and defense transitioned, Lin Ying received a pass from Jokic with a reverse cut. He made a feint from the flank and turned to break through. After wiping out the defense, he made a gliding dunk and smashed the ball into the basket lightly.

"See? This is the puzzle they can't solve."

Over at the commentary box, Barkley spread his hands and said with a relaxed expression.

The Nets did have a lot of problems this season, but Lin Ying is still there.

This is like the Bulls with Jordan. No matter how the lineup changes, anyone who dares to underestimate him will look stupid.

And the Nets don't need to go out of their way to find Pippen. Jokic is much more useful than Pippen.

Of course, the Nets' problems cannot be ignored, and they cannot be said to be solved tonight.

And although Tatum is a bit confused, the Nets cannot restrict Walker very well. The two sides have been in a state of indecision most of the time.

The direct result of this is that Lin Ying can no longer hold his points.

After three quarters, his score had already exceeded 50 points. By the time the game was over, his score had naturally exceeded 60 points!

22 of 35 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 12 of 14 free throws, 62 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists!

Not 40+, not 50+, just 60+!

In the first game of the new season, Lin Ying gave a big wake-up call to the fans who were still not in the mood!

This result also caused social media to explode.

"Looking at Lin's easy scoring style in the game, I even think he still has reservations. If he plays with all his strength in this game, it will definitely be 70+. It is such a terrifying scoring explosion. Only Michael back then can match it."

“I don’t know why, but I have a hunch that Jordan’s single-season scoring record may be loosened this season!”

"Why do you think Durant left Brooklyn? It was to show you Lin's true strength!" A comment from "Lin Ying's golden VIP fans";

"If the Nets can still win the championship, I will be Lin Chuan for the rest of my life!"

"ESPN is really shameless. It's the era of James? This makes my ears almost grow out of cocoons! And whose era is it that relying on a group of people to win the championship? Besides, Lin is in this state, that group of people may not even be able to win the championship!"

"Tell me louder, whose era is this?!"
