I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 283 The Relaxed Lin Yang
Phil Jackson, belatedly, seemed to realize that the team was in trouble and called a timeout.

At exactly 8 minutes in the first quarter, the Lakers re-entered the field and adjusted their lineup. They took Matt Barnes at the third position and "Old Fish" Fisher at the first position. The "dribbling guard" was a little tired after dribbling for 8 minutes.

However, Pau Gasol was taken off the court and Odom was replaced at the fourth position.

The lineup for the Mavericks to play again has also changed. Jason Kidd was taken down. When he was playing positional battles a few minutes ago, Kidd didn’t feel much. But when his speed improved, he had only run for a few minutes, and he was already a little physically weak. If you are really 37 years old, I think Jason Kidd brought the Nets to the championship for two consecutive years by relying on fast breaks.

Lin Yang replaced him.

Coming up with him were Yi Jianlian and Jason Terry.

Originally, Caron Butler was also replaced, but Carlisle saw that Kobe was still on the opposite side, so he simply pulled Stevenson to the 3rd position to defend Jason Terry. Otherwise, the defense on this wing is really impossible to watch!
"The Lakers still give the ball to Kobe to play. Although the lineup has been changed, Kobe is the preferred offensive right of this lineup!" Bill Walton watched Kobe take the ball.

The latter played against Jason Terry without any hesitation. Terry tried to steal, but was passed by Kobe with a fake move. Stevenson and Lin Yang squeezed towards Kobe together.

Barnes and Blake took advantage of the situation to open up space and walked outside the three-point line in different directions.

"The space has been widened. There are two good open positions. What choice will Kobe make?" Drexler shook his head slightly. He really admired Kobe's ability to attract defenses. He deserves to be the best second position after Michael Jordan. The ability to attract defenses is really too strong!
Especially from Drexler's point of view, he felt that he was a little bit stronger than he was in his prime, um... just a little bit!

But Kobe turned a deaf ear to Lin Yang and Stevenson who were double-teaming, and moved smoothly in the encirclement of the two, really like a mamba dancing.

Lin Yang seized the opportunity to stick it up and blocked his attacking route. Stevenson was a step slower, but he quickly stepped up, but just by this step, Kobe still half-turned and jumped up, shot a fadeaway jumper, and sent the ball into the basket!

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the basketball entering the basket silenced the entire flight center!
[-]v[-]...

All Dallas fans were shocked by Kobe's singles ability!
Drexler watched Kobe return to the defense with a cold face, and seemed to remember: "I forgot, when the team is behind, this guy will never pass the ball!"

In this respect, he resembled the basketball god of his time!
"We just need to compress his space so that he can't move smoothly!" Lin Yang wasn't disturbed by the ball. He could tell from the bench just now that Kobe was in really good shape tonight. Ordinary defense couldn't stop him at all. He wanted to try to interrupt Kobe's dribbling rhythm, but this guy's footwork was so good that he had to intercept him in two directions at least to make him get stuck. Rhythm interrupted.

So he communicated with the latter.

Stevenson nodded, he also knew that he was a step too late, but Lin Yang was indeed more decisive than him!
Of course, there is a reason for this. In the first 8 minutes, he was singled by Kobe and was fouled once, which made him afraid to try aggressive defensive moves, which might cost him a foul.

Take it easy, take it easy!
But Lin Yang's defensive effect was very good just after he seized the opportunity, and he also knew that he should be bold when he should be bold.

"We return a ball!"

Lin Yang faced Blake, who had no strength or weight, and was a player of his size. To be honest, Lin Yang was stronger than him, so facing Blake, Lin Yang did not have too much pressure.

He didn't ask Tyson Chandler to come up for the pick-and-roll, but he stuck to Blake and went in. Kobe quickly caught up and forced him to pass the ball. He directly gave the ball to Jason Terry on the outside.

Kobe should have been in front of Terry, but now he lost his position, and Blake could only make up for it.

After coming and going, Kobe ran to Lin Yang.

At this time, Lin Yang also quickly called Tyson Chandler to come to the screen. He then screened and got away from Kobe's matchup defense. He waited for Jason Terry's return pass near the free throw line, and then turned around and gave the ball to the inside.

Odom's focus on the defensive end is as poor as ever. He is not a defender who can judge the opponent's offensive intentions, so he will always be reduced to the background.

Lin Yang's pass and cut cooperation in this offense made Chris Webber sit up straight: "After playing against Chris Paul for the entire series, Lin Yang felt like he was liberated tonight. His off-ball running position and cooperation with the entire team became more and more smooth. I think he learned a lot from the matchup with Chris Paul, and today I think he is showing results!"

The point difference returned to the leading state of the Mavericks, which also allowed Kobe to take the ball again, but this time Stevenson was a lot more courageous, and he posted it at the same time as Lin Yang posted it. Kobe's rhythm was interrupted, and he made a hasty shot.

Lin Yang ran up to him to take the ball, and stretched out his hand to signal the team to slow down, but after dribbling the ball past the center line, he went straight to the inside to kill the goal.

The players returning to the defense of the Lakers are still paying attention to the position of their guards at this time. The entire defensive formation is not in place. Lin Yang breaks through Blake and easily enters the basket.

He was still very smart. After pulling down Lin Yang's hand, he quickly hugged the latter to help him stabilize his center of gravity. This is just an ordinary foul, otherwise, it would be a malicious foul!
