NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 61: Offense and defense clashed, Lin Yan battled against the Sharks (please subscribe!)

United States, Minnesota, Target Center Arena.

The game between the Lakers and Timberwolves has begun.

The Timberwolves are still the same starting lineup.

Lin Yan, James Robinson, Tom Gugliotta, Kevin Garnett, Ben Wallace!

The Lakers also enjoy top-notch configuration again this season.

Nick Van Exel, Sedric Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Eldon Aberle, Shaquille O'Neal

"Judging from the lineups of both sides, the Lakers' inside advantage is very obvious. I believe that under the leadership of head coach Del Harris, they will also maximize their advantages. Today's game will be extremely difficult for the Timberwolves!"

"Yes, Shaq is currently averaging 26.2 points per game, and Elden is also averaging 14.9 points per game. More importantly, both of them are top insiders with a height of over 2.10 meters. In terms of stature, they completely crush the big players. Ben and Kevin, if the Timberwolves want to go further, the team's internal recruitment is imperative!"

The commentator briefly introduced the inside gap between the two sides. In this era where the inside is king, it is obvious that the Lakers have more initiative.

"Dudu!"

As the referee's whistle sounded, the game between the two sides officially started.

During the jump ball stage, Ben was very aware of the gap between the two sides and gave the ball directly to O'Neal.

But in his words.

This was him giving it to O'Neal. It's not because

O'Neal defeated him!

As long as I don't take action in this wave, I will be invincible - very strong!

The Lakers' opening attack point is very clear, that is. Focusing on the inside,

Van Exel holds the ball forward. As the Lakers' starting point guard, his passing ability is very good, and he has averaged 9.0 assists per game throughout his career.

The passing rhythm was remarkable.

As soon as the game started, he lobbed the ball to O'Neal inside.

Facing Ben's top defense, O'Neal chose to shoot the ball to the floor very strongly.

Big Ben was knocked out by O'Neal with a push of his butt.……

"boom!"

Without any suspense, O'Neal easily completed the frame with both hands.

As the most terrifying inside player in the history of the entire league, the Sharks' dominance in the paint is self-evident.

Not to mention Ben, who is still in the growth stage. Even if he reaches his peak, he can't completely restrain O'Neal! It's not even an exaggeration to say that no one can stop O'Neal at his peak!

With a strong sense of surprise, it was as if he was extremely shocked by his performance.

This expression also made the Lakers players particularly happy, but the Minnesota bench looked much calmer.

I scratch my head.

This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack~

"It's okay, Ben, just do what you have to do. Basketball is a team game, you and us!"

Lin Yan, who returned to the offensive end, immediately comforted Ben.

For Ben, the pressure today was indeed far beyond imagination.

But there is no way. Since he is an insider, he must face such a top beast..

If the team wants to go further, the growth of Ben is crucial.

"I'm fine. That guy Shaq is indeed very powerful, but I definitely won't compromise!"

With Lin Yan's comfort, Ben Wallace's eyes rekindled his fighting spirit.

He is an undrafted player, but O'Neal is the league's top superstar and the No. 1 pick.

The two sides are obviously not on the same level, and it is normal to get beaten!

Well~~

I have to say.

Big Ben's self-regulation is very good!

In other words, he is very thick-skinned!

Back to the offensive end,

Lin Yan's teammates are really bluffing. If a tall man over 2.10 meters stands there, you will immediately lose your desire to break through to the inside!

But there are advantages and disadvantages to such an inside line.

The disadvantage lies in their mobility compared to smaller players. It is inevitable that his physical coordination will be a little worse. This is what Lin Yan hit today.

Garnett was called to pick and roll, and Eldon, who was guarding Garnett, had to follow him.

But his movement speed was obvious. He couldn't keep up with Garnett.

Lin Yan and Garnett used pick-and-rolls to directly create space for Garnett to shoot from mid-range.

The latter didn't hesitate and easily scored two points.

"yes!"

After Garnett completed the shot, he patted his chest heavily and shouted excitedly.

With this expression and movement, those who knew that he had just completed the shot, and those who did not know thought that it was a dunk at the end~

But this is Garnett. Character.

Bold, passionate, and full of passion!

The Lakers' new round of offense is still dominated by the inside.

O'Neal's advantage was used to the extreme, but he couldn't stop the Sharks at all.

After the first hit, there was another heavy dunk

"Dudu!"

While completing the dunk, the referee's whistle also sounded.

Big Ben hit O'Neal's arm while defending.

The two points are valid, and there will be an additional penalty!

"There is no way, this is the terrifying dominance of the Sharks, the Timberwolves' inside line can't restrain him at all!"

"Shaq is not David Robinson. Even if the Timberwolves choose to double-team inside, he can still easily complete one-on-two!"

The commentators on the scene were full of praise for O'Neal's performance.

As they analyzed before the game, the Timberwolves simply could not find a player who could compete with O'Neal in the paint.

"Damn!"

The good thing is that

O'Neal's free throws are as"stable" as ever.

The basketball hit the front of the basket, and the rebound was collected by Ben Wallace.

Lin Yan once again controlled the ball and directed his teammates to position.

This time.

Lin Yan successfully allowed Oliguta to find a chance.

The latter made a three-pointer!

45!

Lakers coach Del Harris seemed to frown at this situation. Something was wrong.

From the perspective of the situation, the Lakers were very successful in playing O'Neal.

The two domineering dunks made the Timberwolves lose their temper.

But in terms of the score, the Timberwolves also did well.

Seize the opportunity on the offensive end and respond to the Lakers' goals every time

"Coach, Lin is a very difficult guy to deal with, and his field control ability has reached the top of the league. I suggest that we should follow the Spurs' tactics and double-team Lin, denying him the opportunity to command and pass!"

At this moment. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The young player wearing the No. 8 jersey on the bench stood up and took the initiative to say to the head coach.

Harris looked at Kobe, and then said I looked at the Lin Yan he was talking about.

"I know Kobe, you go back first, I will consider your suggestions carefully!"

When Kobe heard this, he didn't say anything more, but he still looked straight at Harris and stopped talking.

Harris looked at the young man again, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Man, I know what you're trying to say, but the game has just begun and when the time comes, I���Let you play!"

Harris also worked hard on this stubborn young man.

When he just participated in the team's first training match, he declared that he wanted to start!

And he was also willing to compete fairly with everyone in a one-on-one way!

For such a Harris would obviously not agree to the proposal.

Basketball is not just about ability in certain aspects, but experience is equally important.

At least from his point of view, the current Kobe is not suitable for starting or even being a qualified substitute. It does n't matter now.

Maybe Kobe will give an eye-catching performance in the future, which will make him change his mind. But for now

, he sticks to his previous judgment.

He nodded, looked at Lin Yan on the court, and finally sat back in his seat.

If it were another game, Kobe might not be so proactive, but the opponent was the Timberwolves, and they had Lin Yan.

He couldn't remain indifferent!

The last time he was beaten was still vivid in his mind.

Now he finally found a chance for revenge, but he couldn't control his appearance...

This feeling was really painful.

However, even if he couldn't play, he still wanted to play.

The coach can really consider his suggestions.

He has studied Lin Yan's game against the Spurs many times and has a certain understanding of his playing style.

It is simply unrealistic to completely restrict him.

His personal ability is too outstanding, but it can still be done to cut off the connection between him and his teammates and prevent the Timberwolves from forming an effective offense.

It depends on whether Coach Harris will really follow his advice...

The two of them.

While speaking, the battle on the court did not stop.

O'Neal once again completed a wonderful performance at the basket.

This time he faced the defense of Ben Wallace and Kevin Garnett and sent the ball into the basket..

Once again demonstrated his dominance in the interior.

The Timberwolves' offense is also very orderly.

Under Lin Yan's organization, every player is very clear about his position and is actively looking for the most suitable shooting opportunities..

James used the screen to cut through the basket and succeeded.

The two sides were still inextricable.

"Both teams have achieved the results they want. O'Neal's personal offense on the Lakers' side is unstoppable, and the team offense on the Timberwolves' side is even better!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect such a start. Maybe we need to re-examine this young Timberwolves. Their performance is far better than we imagined!"

In the first quarter of the game, the scores of both sides have been rising alternately.

O'Neal dominated the inside.

After playing the entire first quarter, he scored 19 points and 5 rebounds.

What is even more surprising is that this was after O'Neal's free throw. In a"stable" situation!

In the first quarter, he had a total of 5 free throw opportunities, but unfortunately he only made 1 shot.

If his free throws could improve, he would probably break the 20 mark in the first quarter! His performance almost accounted for all the Lakers' points in the first quarter.

They only scored 24 in the first quarter!

The Timberwolves had to play more holistically

, except for the opponent. O'Neal didn't score, and everyone else scored.

Lin Yan scored 6 points and 8 assists in the first quarter. He was the absolute contributor to the team's stabilization of the score.

Under his leadership, the entire Timberwolves also scored 26. Not only did they not fall behind, they actually led the Lakers by two points! Sanders was full of praise for Lin Yan during the first quarter.

"Lin, I know you can do it. Don't worry, in the next game, the team will focus on you, including me. As long as you think this is reasonable, you don't have to worry about the tactics I drew!"

Sanders looks like a licking dog at the moment.

But he is not ashamed of it, but proud of it.

With such a thigh, what's wrong with being a licking dog?

Why is Phil Jackson NB ? ?

Still holding on to Jordan's thigh?

In NBA games, the role of the coach is not small, but it is the players themselves who ultimately determine the game.

No matter how good the coach's tactics are, it is useless~ On the other hand, it is useless.

If the players are tough enough, what does it matter if they have some tactical flaws? So, you can be a dog licker, and you can do it to the end, not to mention that the head coach is in the league.

A high-risk profession.

If the team's performance is poor and the team's star is dissatisfied with the team, the head coach will be the first to take the blame.

Lin Yan has become the Timberwolves' number one star.

Let him play comfortably, which is not a shame!

At the same time, the Lakers bench.

"Let us work harder. The opponent's inside line has completely lost resistance. What we have to do next is to radiate the advantage of the inside line to the outside line. I believe that as long as we can handle this well, today's game will be better at halftime. Lose the suspense before the end!"

Head coach Del Harris clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

Although the team is still lagging behind, he believes that this is only a temporary situation.

The team's inside advantage is real.

He who gets the inside wins the world, this is not a saying Empty talk!

With dominance inside, you have the initiative in rebounding.

And rebounding means more offensive opportunities! He believes that the next second quarter will be a watershed in the game!
