But he is big and his pick-and-roll quality is not low.

Through the pick-and-roll, Paul started his mid-range offensive mode.

Because of his height, his mid-range shooting point is not high, but his rhythm and shooting arc are very high.

This makes him difficult to block.

And he just beats Chandler.

Break the ball, step back, fade away, mid-range.

In three consecutive rounds, he hit three mid-range shots.

Each one is more difficult than the last, but each one can be put into it.

When the last mid-range shot was made, the game was decided.

After making the last mid-range shot, Paul pumped his fist and roared in a cathartic manner, then jumped up and bumped his chest with Kobe who came over.

After hitting his chest, Paul's eyes showed cruelty.

He actually also pays attention to social media.

He also knows how poorly fans think of him now.

But he is actually different from Howard. He has been trying to climb a natural mountain like Delong.

Tonight, he did it!

And there is a point that has been overlooked. Lin Ying and Billups on the opposite side were the source of the 58 bloodbath against him.

Tonight, he did it too!

This is a victory for Chris Paul!

This is his night!

113 to 109, the Lakers finally defeated the Nets with Paul's performance in overtime, and tied the finals score at 1-1.

Statistics after the game showed that Lin Ying of the Nets scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Deron had 19 points and 7 assists, and Chandler had 15 points and 13 rebounds;

For the Lakers, Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Paul had 28 points and 11 assists, including 8 points in overtime.

After the game, Lakers fans started going online.

"In 2001, Iverson scored 48 points in a single game and defeated the invincible Lakers, which was a great success. Later, the 76ers were swept by the Lakers 4-1."

"Lin's strength is very close to that of Kobe, so the key lies in the matchup between Deron and Paul. Paul defeated Deron tonight and also defeated himself. We have reason to believe that CP3 will still be dazzling in the following games."

"The next step is our home court in Los Angeles. Win them and win the Lakers' 16th NBA championship trophy in Los Angeles!"

…

After the 1-1 game, the Nets felt the pressure.

The next three away games, eight consecutive days in Los Angeles, will be a huge challenge for them both physically and mentally.

Sloan was not in a hurry. He gave his players half a day off after the G2 game.

"Go back and have a good sleep, forget what happened tonight, and prepare well for the next wave 5."

Sometimes the coach's mentality determines the players' mentality.

Sloan's words that "everything in front of him is a small scene" allowed the Nets players to adjust their mentality to the greatest extent.

After all, Sloan is someone who has really experienced big scenes.

In the evening, Lin Ying went to his home training center to train after coaxing Xiao Lin Yi to sleep.

Although Sloan's words are reassuring, the current competition system and the next three consecutive away games against the Nets will be a big challenge for him.

This challenge is both pressure and motivation.

After defeating the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, his mentality changed again.

He has a feeling that his destiny is always in his own hands, not only psychologically, but also physically.

In other words, when encountering a challenge, his body will instinctively become excited and then enter a sub-white-hot space state.

It's not a panacea, but in terms of confidence, he's at the highest point of his career right now.

After the first round of training, he sat on the sidelines to rest and found several missed calls.

When I picked it up, I saw that it was all from Delong.

He called back.

"I can't sleep, I'm in front of your house."

There was a hint of fatigue in Delong's voice.

Lin Ying hung up the phone and went to the door.

Delong stood there alone, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.

New York is already full of spring in May, but the temperature is not very high at night.

Delong was also very thinly dressed and looked inexplicably desolate.

Lin Ying took him from the door to the living room.

Swift had already slept with Xiao Lin Yi. Lin Ying asked the servant to make a cup of hot coffee for them both, and then started chatting with Delong.

"I should have guarded Chris. I knew they would pick and roll. I should have followed him in advance. If I..."

Delong started talking non-stop as soon as he sat down.

And from his words, Lin Ying could also tell why he couldn't sleep.

Generally speaking, as professional players, especially famous stars who have been playing in the league for many years, the outcome of a game should not have such a big impact.

Even if he is competing at the finals level.

And now the two teams are only tied 1-1.

Although Lin Ying also felt some pressure, it was not only to the extent that it affected his sleep.

But Delong...

Delong was still talking, and Lin Ying looked at him with a look of exhaustion, self-blame, and annoyance...

Too rich and too negative.

However, I can understand it.

You must know that Deron said before that "I will fight my best to win this championship."

When a person is very eager to accomplish something, any small mistake may lead to violent fluctuations in mentality.

What's more, the person who killed the game was the person he had always suppressed.

"Deron, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really want to be serious, I only scored 2 points in overtime."

Lin Ying interrupted Delong.

"I did not mean that."

Delong hurriedly explained.

"I mean, just like Coach Sloan said, forget tonight's game, we have a wave of 5 to play next."

At this time, the servant came over with coffee. Lin Ying picked up the coffee and blew on it. After taking a sip, although it was a bit bitter, his whole body felt warm.

He then spoke,

"The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Delong didn't understand him enough, after Lin Ying put down his coffee, he gave another example that Delong would surely understand:

"Just like between you and Coach Sloan, the mistakes you once made are irreversible, but you still have the opportunity to make up for it now."

Delong was stunned when he heard this.

After a while he nodded.

"You're right, we still need to win three more games."

Hearing what Delong said, Lin Ying stood up with a smile and patted Delong on the shoulder.

"That's right. You can't sleep anyway. Come on, come practice with me for a while!"

"Um!"
Chapter completed!
