I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 294
The second game between the Mavericks and the Lakers continued, and this time it was still at the Mavericks' home court.The last game had a double-digit score difference, but before the start of the second game, the entire Mavericks were still on the verge of an enemy. After the warm-up, Carlisle made the final mobilization before the game with a serious expression: "The Los Angeles Lakers were the defending champions last season. They are a two-time champion team. They have far better psychological quality than others. Therefore, for such an opponent, we must not take it lightly just because we won the first game. We need to win 4 games. And now, we've only got one, and we still have three victories to go, so, guys, face this game with all your strength, they are not as easy to deal with as you think!"

……

After the mobilization was over, the starting players of the Mavericks walked up to the field, and the buzzer sounded, which meant that the game had officially started!

Lin Yang was sitting on the bench, his eyes unconsciously resting on Kobe. Kobe today gave people a very gloomy feeling, as if he played with resentment, and people would notice him unconsciously.

"I remember the Celtics won a lot of points in the last game of the finals in 07. The whole score entered garbage time early. At that time, Kobe was sitting on the bench and looked at the court like this. The strong desire for revenge in his eyes was completely unstoppable. I didn't expect that today, after 4 years, we saw him show such eyes again. This game is sure, he will play very fiercely. It is also conceivable that today's game will be very fierce, but what the final result will be. Let us wait and see!"

Kenny Smith saw the vengeance in Kobe's eyes when he came on the court, and he was full of expectations for today's game.

While he was speaking, the Mavericks successfully grabbed the initiative, and Jason Kidd completed the linkage with Marion when he came up, helping the latter successfully score a goal!
In the process of returning to defense, Marion pointed to Jason Kidd, and there was a tacit understanding between the two old football ruffians.

In fact, the Lakers returned to defense fast enough, but Ci Shiping was successfully found by Marion when he was exchanging positions with his teammates. Jason Kidd was also very timely and experienced in giving the ball. The two smoothly helped the Mavericks score the first 2 points!
Huge cheers erupted at the scene. The atmosphere in the auditorium of the Route Arena today is still very relaxed. After all, the Mavericks played so well in the last game, they have no reason to worry about the current state of the Mavericks, and the cooperation between Jason Kidd and Marion is enough to see that the old guys today are very energetic.

However, it was easy to score this goal, and it was also very easy for Kobe to return a goal. He directly broke through Stevenson and completed a pull-up layup, once again showing his domineering waist and abdomen strength.

"It's a beautiful goal!" Barkley was satisfied with Kobe's goal. Stevenson actually played very well this season. When it comes to the defensive champions in the second and third positions in the league, he must have his name. This is what he got in exchange for this season's performance, but such a defensive champion is like paper in front of Kobe!
Of course, there is a reason for this. After the first game, Kobe spent a lot of time studying Stevenson's defense in the past two days!

He clearly understands that if the Lakers want to win, he has to play more efficiently. Only in this way can they play their own rhythm.

That's why he studied Stevenson's defense seriously!
From this we can also see Kobe's desire for victory.

And from this ball, Kobe's research on Stevenson is quite thorough, at least he is more comfortable when breaking through Stevenson!
2 to 2 level!
The two sides showed a good momentum as soon as they came up, and this momentum allowed them to continue until 5 minutes and 30 seconds of the first quarter. The score of the two teams was still maintained at 14 to 14.

Both teams scored very efficiently today, with shooting percentages above 50%.

"The Mavericks are still playing the way they did in the last game, playing fast-paced offense and defense, and today they are as efficient as ever and hit a good shooting percentage. However, what I didn't expect was that the Lakers could actually pick up the speed today. Since they can keep up with the rhythm of the Mavericks, they even made several defensive counterattacks. This is something I didn't expect!"

However, Kenny Smith was surprised by the state of the Lakers today and how they play, because today the Lakers are very much like the Mavericks. They are also playing fast-paced offense and defense, and they have managed to keep up with this speed of offense and defense. To be honest, Kenny Smith is a little surprised. Smith's expectations.

"Lin, get ready!"

Carlisle is ready to make a substitution at this time. Although the current time is only 6 minutes, although the Mavericks do not have an advantage in the situation, they are not suppressed. It is a [-]-[-] split, but Carlisle is still ready to make a substitution!
First, Jason Kidd has been playing at this rhythm for 6 minutes, and his old arms and legs can't run anymore; second, he wants to change the rhythm on the field and make the situation change a little bit!
"And Yi, you go too. Wait a minute, Lin, you need to increase the speed of attack and defense. You don't need to care about efficiency. I just hope that you can increase the speed!"

At the same time, Carlisle also issued a request to Lin Yang to continue to speed up, even regardless of efficiency.

Lin Yang nodded, and waited in the player waiting area with Yi Jianlian. With the Lakers hitting again, Lin Yang and Yi Jianlian were also replaced at this dead ball time!
When they played, the Dallas fans at the scene also burst into loud cheers. The craze of "China Storm" in Dallas has been going on for a long time, and after the victory in the last game, this craze is obviously even hotter!
"The Mavericks made an early substitution. They put Lin and Yi on the field. These two players are two important players on the Mavericks' bench. Rick Carlisle brought these two guys on the field so quickly. Obviously, some changes have to be made!"

Kenny Smith watched Lin Yang and Yi Jianlian play. Although it was a bit unexpected that Carlisle would replace players when the two teams were playing so anxiously, after all, sudden substitutions could easily disrupt the rhythm of the game that had already occurred. Few head coaches would make substitutions when the game was tense, not to mention that it was only 6 minutes into the first quarter. Normally, even if they wanted to, there was no need to make substitutions so early!

However, Kenny Smith is still very clear that since Carlisle chose to make a substitution, his purpose is obviously to make some changes.

It's just that he doesn't know what the change Carlisle wants to make looks like!

……

"Let's do it!"

Lin Yang went on the field rubbing his wrists, high-fived Jason Kidd who was off the field, followed by Nowitzki, and then took the ball in the backcourt.

"Ok?"

"Wow!"

"Actually..."

It's just that when he just passed the midfield and went to the front court, there was a lot of surprise in the whole scene, and the fans watching the game in front of the TV and computer also showed surprise, or some excited expressions.

And Lin Yang grinned slightly, his whole face was completely serious. As for why, it was not a big deal, it was just that when he crossed the center line, Kobe switched positions with Fisher and ran directly in front of him.

Obviously, Kobe wanted to defend him!

Consecutively nominated for the best defensive first team, No.1 in the league took the initiative to defend a rookie, no wonder the whole scene and the fans in front of the TV would look like this!

Of course, the surprise and surprise belong to others, and this does not include the Lakers. They were already surprised when Phil Jackson arranged for today's game last night.

"Leave that Huaxia boy to me, and you guard the others for me!"

They still remember Kobe's expression and tone when he said this. Obviously, Lin Yang, who confronted him at the end of the second quarter in the first game, has already been on his blacklist!
"Boy, come on!" Kobe looked at Lin Yang very seriously, and at the same time put on a defensive posture to face him, like a hungry tiger ready to hunt.

Lin Yang took a slight breath and let himself relax. He wasn't too surprised. As a player, he had to be prepared to face all situations, which naturally included facing Kobe Bryant, No.1 in the league.

How to fight or how to fight!

Lin Yang did not respond to Kobe with words, but responded positively to Kobe with practical actions. He actually faced Kobe and prepared to break through directly.

Kobe froze for a moment. He really didn't expect Lin Yang to break through so forcefully. With more than ten years of defensive experience, he quickly paid attention to his side. After making sure that there were no Mavericks players coming up to pick and roll Lin Yang, he also did not evade to meet Lin Yang at all.

He really didn't believe that Lin Yang could break through his defense.

But just when the two were about to touch, Lin Yang flicked the ball and threw it beyond the three-point line on the other side.

There Stevenson caught the ball.

really!

Kobe was a little surprised just now, but now he is no longer surprised. After all, Lin Yang chose to hand the ball directly.

It's just that Lin Yang, who had handed over the ball, didn't stand still, but moved towards Stevenson at this moment, as if he wanted to get the ball back.

Seeing that he had this intention, Kobe quickly moved to his side to intercept Lin Yang's route, but at this moment Lin Yang stopped suddenly and walked directly towards the bottom line.

Kobe didn't know what he was going to do, but he knew very well that it was right to follow closely. He immediately adjusted his steps and moved in the direction of Lin Yang.

To say that Kobe's defensive experience is really sophisticated, when he moved with Lin Yang, he withdrew some force, in case Lin Yang had other plans, and it was this idea that made him adjust his direction quickly.

But as soon as he changed direction, he ran into a wall head-on.

Yi Jianlian didn't know when to block it.

Kobe quickly pushed him away and chased him towards the bottom line, but found that Lin Yang was nowhere to be seen.

be cheated!
Kobe turned around quickly, but saw Lin Yang moving towards Stevenson again, and successfully recovered the ball, and then he rushed towards the inside of the Lakers without anyone following him.

"Pretty!"

Get rid of this!

Jason Kidd, who was sitting off the court, couldn't help shouting when he saw Lin Yang's spiritual escape.

Bynum had no choice but to defend. When Lin Yang saw him coming up, he threw the ball towards the basket with his hands. Tyson Chandler jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket hard!

"Wow ah ah ah ah!"

The entire auditorium also burst into loud cheers following the goal.

"Nice, Lin, the biography is beautiful!"

This was Tyson Chandler's first dunk tonight. While falling from the basket, he quickly ran towards Lin Yang and bumped into the latter's shoulder.

"continue?"

"Of course!" Lin Yang patted the latter's waist, "This is just the beginning!"

"Lin Yang's escape without the ball is really great!" Barkley was also very moved by Lin Yang's escape. Needless to say, Kobe's defensive ability, this guy can escape Kobe so beautifully. "It seems that he has already expected that he may encounter Kobe's defense today, and he wanted to deal with it early!"

……

"Not bad, it seems that what I taught him at the beginning has not been forgotten!"

In the office of the head coach of the school team at Butler University, Stevens was also watching the game. When he saw the scene of Lin Yang running without the ball and using the cover to get rid of Kobe, he nodded in relief. In fact, many people don’t know that because Lin Yang didn’t have the ability to dribble in college, he basically ran off the ball and cooperated with his teammates to get rid of the opposing player and then catch the ball to assist his teammates!

The style of play just now is even a special tactic at Butler University!

It's just a pity that Lin Yang became famous too late, and he was not really known by others until he finished the NCAA finals. This also made many people not know Lin Yang's playing style in college.

I don't know that in college, Lin Yang's most powerful thing is his ability to run without the ball, especially after establishing a tacit understanding with his teammates, he is really like a loach, and it is impossible to catch him alone!
