Chapter 382: 50+ in the third quarter! Hold your head high in the finals!(1/2)
"Whoa!"
Lin Ying also received additional penalties.
64 to 49!
After Lin Ying's continuous scoring performance, the Nets opened the point difference to 15 points!
15 points is a tough hurdle tonight!
Now let’s see if the Knicks can narrow the point difference again!
The answer was soon revealed, no!
The Knicks made a coordination error on the offensive end, and James' pass to Prince went directly out of bounds.
Originally, Lin Ying's crazy scoring performance put a lot of pressure on them.
Now the defection of our own fans is more like someone stabbing them in the heart from behind.
Even if he didn't die, it would still be terrible.
And what's worse than the mistake is that James showed no emotion after the mistake, and walked directly to the backcourt without spreading his hands.
Rivers' gap reached a point where something was wrong, so he reached out and called a timeout.
At this time, there was an interesting scene on the sidelines.
When Lin Ying came off the field, Sloan reached out to him and gave him a big hug.
There's a lot going on in that hug, but maybe that's just Sloane's character.
Some things cannot be said, but some things do not necessarily have to be said.
This year of coaching was so meaningful to his life.
After returning from the timeout, the Knicks' mental state has improved a lot.
Rivers' chicken soup always maintains its freshness no matter when and where.
This ability is unmatched by other coaches.
Nets possession of the ball.
Lin Ying ran without the ball to catch the ball and made a feint. He accelerated through the attack and went inside. He faced Martin and pulled the ball with one hand in the air to dodge and then hit the board.
The difficulty of this ball has reached full level.
"Bang!"
But the ball still fell into the net after hitting the board!
Just like Cole said, Lin Ying in this section is unstoppable.
The referee's whistle came a little late, and the ball was another 2+1.
The Knicks' morale plummeted, and Rivers' chicken soup was all in vain.
After landing, Lin Ying also felt refreshed.
The feeling of entering a white-hot space this time is different from the previous ones.
The biggest difference is that he feels more free to do whatever he wants.
This is also reasonable. The white-hot space stimulates the potential of the human body and increases the upper limit of human ability.
But fundamentally, it still depends on the person’s own abilities.
To give a simple example, when you are playing a game, you sometimes enter a white-hot space state and your operations are amazing.
But if the opponent changes players at this time and a professional player comes up, you will find that your hands cannot keep up with your brain and will be rubbed crazily.
Lin Ying is taking steps every year, and his strength this year will definitely be stronger than last year.
"Whoa!"
Lin Ying's additional penalty is also...
The point difference has reached 18 points!
Only then did the Knicks fans at the scene come back to their senses.
They will be eliminated soon!
"Dang!"
Then, James contributed a strike from the outside!
Asked why James didn't enter the white-hot space?
Everyone's entry conditions are different, but there is a similar condition, which is the desire to win.
Obviously, Lin Ying's scoring not only boosted the morale of the Nets players, but also destroyed the Knicks' confidence in the game.
Especially the 2+1 that didn't look so violent, but was like rubbing salt into the wound. It can be said that the Knicks' confidence has dropped to the bottom.
At halftime, the Nets led the Knicks 75-53.
The Knicks scored 53 points at halftime. This was in the playoffs and in front of the Nets. Their offensive performance was actually not that bad, it could even be considered good.
But the problem is that the Nets scored 75 points at halftime!
Well, they broke their team's half-time scoring record again!
And that’s even when both Deron and Johnson are absent!
Among them, Lin Ying scored 25 points in the first quarter, 17 points in the second quarter, and 42 points in the half!
The others together scored 33 points, which doesn't seem so strange.
Returning from the halftime break, the Knicks' mental outlook looked quite good again.
It's just that Rivers looks very tired.
Looking at this posture, he spent a lot of energy in the midfield to make a thick chicken soup.
At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks performed well on both offense and defense.
James seems to be a little bit uneasy, after all, he was the main victim in the first half...
But Wade, Bosh, and Ray Allen all performed.
The Knicks launched a 10-2 offensive, narrowing the point difference to about 15 points again, forcing Sloan to stand up from the bench.
The cheers were loud.
Although it is a bit embarrassing to be 23 points behind the remnant Nets at halftime, it would be even more exciting if it can be reversed in the end.
They have also considered the possibility of meeting the Mavericks again in the finals!
After all, Bogut is injured now, and he will be at a huge disadvantage when facing the Mavericks inside. If he wants revenge, his morale must be high.
Nothing boosts morale like a reversal like this!
"Whoa!"
But at this moment, Lin Ying caught the ball and turned around to face Prince and hit the target!
By the end of halftime, he had come out of the white-hot space.
But he is still in a sub-white-hot space, and his body's instinctive reaction still allows him to perform well.
And after returning to the defensive end, he directly helped defend and gave Wade a big block.
The Knicks' attack failed, but when they looked back, it was Lin Ying who crossed the line and drove into the Knicks' interior, causing a foul!
When watching Lin Ying rush into the paint, the Knicks players instinctively thought of one sentence:
Yes, Lin Ying is still here!
By the time Lin Ying hit an extra penalty despite interference, the point difference had returned to 20 points!
The Knicks' point-chasing momentum was suddenly curbed!
And this isn't the end.
Lin Ying's score restored the Nets' defensive quality, and Bosh's shot missed the basket after being double-teamed.
Looking back, Lin Ying broke through and forced the Knicks to shrink and then returned the ball to Yi Jianlian on the outside.
Yi Jianlian's three-pointer was taken again.
"Whoa!"
His fourth personal three-pointer tonight!
Emperor Yi: I was once as famous as Emperor Lin!
The point difference is back to 23 points!

…
Lin Ying's scoring momentum dropped slightly in the third quarter, scoring only 10 points in a single quarter.
