The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 139 The Double-Edged Sword (Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass)
"After the Lithuanian team hit the buzzer, we were 17 to 19 behind our opponents, but most of the time our defense was good. We will also see what happens in the second quarter." Yu Jia said.

"Lin Yue is on the stage." Zhang Weiping said.

Lin Yue played, and Yao Ming also played at the same time. In the second quarter, Lin Yue was used to help the Chinese team stabilize the situation on the offensive end.

"Overall, the rhythm of the Chinese team in the first quarter is good, the key is to win the opponent with rebounds." Zhang Weiping said again.

Liu Wei was still on the court, and Lin Yue served Liu Wei off the court. He still needed to find the rhythm of the game when he first entered the court.

Liu Wei dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and tried to launch an attack, but the Lithuanian team followed closely, and Liu Wei was not good at breaking through.

As a result, he was forced to stop the ball near the free throw line and gave the ball to Lin Yue who was outside the three-point line.

"There is not much time to attack." Zhang Weiping said.

Lin Yue found that he didn't have much time to attack and could only try three-pointers against the opponent's defense.

"Bangdang."

"This shot is still too reluctant." Lin Yue didn't think he had the ability to hold the ball for a three-pointer like Curry. He glanced at his throwing hand and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian, who was fighting for rebounds under the basket, drew a foul from the opponent.

"The Lithuanian team has a lot of fouls. In fact, there is no need to foul this ball." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"The Lithuanian team averaged 24.8 fouls per game in the group stage. While they have outstanding physical fitness, they also committed a lot of fouls," Yu Jia said.

After watching the ball just now, Yunus felt that Liu Wei was not needed in this lineup, so he replaced him with Chen Jianghua.

Sun Yuelai served from the bottom line to Yao Ming at a 45-degree angle on the right. After taking the ball in a high position, he faked a foul by Giav Tokas.

"Is this a three-point foul?" Yu Jia asked.

"Yes, Yao Ming played the ball smartly. This is the accumulated experience in the NBA. No matter what, as long as you make a foul, I will throw it at the basket. If I throw it, I will make a free throw. That's why Yao Ming couldn't shoot there just now.

This kind of old NBA fritters also has advantages in psychological tactics. This ball Giav Tokas is too careless.

Lin Yue watched silently from the side, feeling that his skills were quite useful, and Pengci scored a free throw.

Yao Ming stood at the free throw line and missed the second free throw.

"Yao Ming is the player who made the most free throws per game in the group stage, averaging 6.2 assists per game." Yu Jia said.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming also missed his third free throw before finishing his sentence.

"Oh, Yao Ming doesn't feel very good today." Zhang Weiping said, considering Yao Ming's free throws, one of three free throws is indeed quite rare.

In this way, the Chinese team missed a good chance to overtake the score.

"Chen Jianghua's body is not superior against Jasicovius," Yu Jia said.

The Lithuanian team's No. 13 Jasicovius broke through with the ball, and Chen Jianghua was more than one size smaller than his opponent.

Just as Lin Yue wanted to help Chen Jianghua defend, the referee's whistle sounded.

"This matchup is too difficult for Chen Jianghua." Zhang Weiping said.

The Lithuanian team re-launched the attack. Sun Yue was passed by the opponent. Yao Ming went to make up the defense. As a result, the ball was directly passed to Giav Tokas under the basket. Without Yao Ming's interference, he easily dunked with both hands under the basket and scored two points.

He was still celebrating after the dunk. It seemed that Yao Ming's foul made him a little upset.

"As long as Yao Ming comes out with a pick-and-roll, the inside line will be empty, and if Sun Yue defends outside, there will be no one to cover." Zhang Weiping said.

"Actually, Yi Jianlian should go over and help make up for it just now," Yu Jia said.

But the goal has been scored, no matter how much it is said, it will not help.

Chen Jianghua was forced to defend by the opponent just after halftime with the ball, which almost caused a return error.

"Oh, hanging." Zhang Weiping was a little worried.

Chen Jianghua's speed is good, but Liu Wei is better in terms of stability.

"It's easier for Lukowskis to defend against Chen Jianghua than against Liu Wei." Yu Jia told the truth bluntly.

Chen Jianghua passed the ball to Lin Yue on the flank. Since he couldn't break through, he moved the ball to move. Chen Jianghua's mind was still clear.

This time Yi Jianlian ran to catch the ball, and Lin Yue handed it to him.

Yi Jianlian then passed to Chen Jianghua who ran outside the three-point line on the left.

"Pay attention to Yao Ming's position, pass it on, why didn't Chen Jianghua pass on such a good opportunity?" Zhang Weiping watched anxiously from the commentary booth.

It wasn't just him, Lin Yue on the field shouted "pass the ball" while pointing at Yao Ming's direction.

Fortunately, Lin Yue's voice was loud enough to throw the ball to Yao Ming under the basket before the opponent's help defense arrived.

This ball Giav Tokas used to defend around the front, but Yao Ming was taller and stronger than him after all. After getting the ball, he went directly to the basket and put the ball into the basket against the defensive player.

Although the goal was scored, this style of play consumes too much of Yao Ming's body. Playing against European teams requires physical contact for every ball, which consumes a lot of energy.

Yao Ming wiped his sweat while returning to defense, gritted his teeth and persisted.

And this scene happened to be seen by Lin Yue beside him.

"I should do something. This is only the second quarter. Brother Yao Ming must not have enough energy to fight like this." Lin Yue said to himself.

Lithuania's continuous pick-and-roll gave Siskauskas a chance for a layup, but Yi Jianlian fouled before he made the shot.

Yunus took the opportunity to replace Yi Jianlian with Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi only played in the second half of the first quarter today. After playing for a few minutes, he only shot a three-pointer, and he didn't enter the state.

This time, Lithuania's offense followed suit with the pick-and-roll just now. Siskauskas received a pass from his teammate outside the left three-point line and made an open shot.

However, he knew that he was weak when he took the shot, judged where the ball landed, grabbed the defensive rebound first, and Lin Yue went to defend.

But it was almost difficult to miss the shot at close range, and Siskoskas made a hit.

Lin Yue gave the ball to Chen Jianghua. Unexpectedly, after Chen Jianghua got the ball, he immediately started to speed up. He rushed into the opponent's half of the court alone. The players around him were slightly separated but did not lose their position.

Another mistake, the Chinese team is not worth mentioning in front of the Lithuanian team.

Now Lithuania got a chance to counterattack and passed it to Siskauskas who was running, avoiding Sun Yue's block and making a layup.

"Chen Jianghua had some problems with his performance after he came on the court. He seemed impetuous both offensively and defensively. This is the opportunity to chase points. This kind of mistake may ruin a game." Zhang Weiping said that he was not satisfied with Chen Jianghua's performance.

Seeing that the score was wide open, Jonas called a timeout immediately after the Lithuanian team got up. During this time, the Chinese team played very chaotically.

"Jiang Hua, don't worry, why don't you change to me or Sun Yue for half the time?" Lin Yue said to Chen Jianghua.

Sun Yue also nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." Chen Jianghua apologized to his teammates. It was indeed his problem that he was pulled to 5 points after a few minutes.

Chen Jianghua has this problem in playing since he was a child. He knows his speed is fast, so after receiving a pass from his teammates, he often breaks fast alone, completely leading the whole court.

At this time, the little friends around cast envious eyes, and he took it as a habit after he tasted the sweetness.

To this day, his style of play is still only fast, and all kinds of extraordinary things that cooperate with the fast break.

This impetuous style of play is a double-edged sword, and Lin Yue knows that if he does not correct it in time, it will also affect his career.
