Chapter 444 This damned sense of substitution!(2/3)
The Spurs also continued to show their strength. Duncan saw that the opportunity was not good and quickly retreated to the backcourt with the whole team.
Lin Ying continued to break through with the ball, and this time three players from the outside attacked Lin Ying.
Lin Ying was stunned but didn't pass the ball, and a beautiful ball passed by and went inside.
The fans at the scene were excited, and Jordan in the stands also nodded with satisfaction.
Lin Ying rushed inside and rushed towards Duncan.
Duncan chose to rush forward, but after being squeezed by Lin Ying, he gave up the defense.
Lin Ying scored with a wipe.
When he turned around, it was Duncan's turn to look at him with a smile.
Obviously, his strategy has been seen through by Popovich.
It would be difficult for Lin Ying to commit a foul without taking action.
As for scoring, Lin Ying had already surpassed the defense of four people, and this was the point he deserved.
Moreover, playing against four or five like this consumes a lot of physical energy. It is impossible for Lin Ying to play like this for the entire second half.
Lin Ying wanted to bring the referee in front of him and say loudly: Look at him smiling, give him a T now.
But he quickly calmed down.
The Spurs have already shown so much, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see more.
And even without Popovich's reminder, Duncan himself would pay attention to controlling the number of fouls.
For a man who has a doctorate in psychology and has been playing for almost 20 years and is the number one power forward in history, unless O'Neal in the commentary box is ten years younger, it will still be difficult to get Duncan into foul trouble.
The Nets failed to prevent the Spurs' offense again. Green caught the ball in the corner and hit a three-pointer.
Green's accuracy in this year's playoffs is a bit ridiculous.
59 to 46.
With a score difference of 13 points, the two teams were in a stalemate in the second half.
The fans at the scene were agitated.
The stalemate looks good, but the problem is that this is the third quarter!
This should have been a time when they were constantly chasing points, but now even if the Nets have increased their defensive intensity, they still cannot limit the Spurs' scoring.
If we keep fighting like this, we will probably lose tonight!
And if they lose tonight, the bigger question is how will they beat this Spurs?
That may cause you to lose confidence in the entire series!
Lin Ying continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt. At this time, he no longer deliberately looked for Duncan, but directly aimed to score!
Just try Jordan’s method!
Lin Ying broke through to the free throw line, faced a double team, turned to the right and shot backward.
This shot was very difficult, but it was able to get rid of the defense.
"Whoa!"
Then, Lin Ying hit!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
In their despair, the only one who can give them hope is Lin Ying!
In the stands, Jordan nodded with satisfaction.
Do you think he is right?
With this kind of ball, you should turn around and lean back!
The Spurs connected in the frontcourt, and Duncan's hook from close range missed. He pressed Chandler's long arm to grab the offensive rebound and continue the attack.
But one hand snatched the ball away before that happened.
Lin Ying!
Duncan consciously avoided his touch, and he also consciously guarded Duncan's frontcourt!
He is also a teacher, a friend and a rival. As much as Duncan knows him, he knows Duncan well!
And this time his pass went up fast enough. The Nets finally made a fast break, and Butler dunked with both hands during the fast break.
59 to 50!
The score difference narrowed a bit and reached single digits!
"Defend! Defend!"
The fans at the scene sensed the possibility of the team gaining momentum and cheered for the home team in unison.
Amid the shouts, Parker's breakthrough shot was interfered by Chandler and missed.
But this time Duncan successfully grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it directly to Green in the corner.
This was a good opportunity to take a shot. The moment Green caught the ball and took the shot, the hearts of the fans at the scene were in suspense.
"Dang!"
Fortunately, Green's shot missed.
The hearts of the fans at the scene almost jumped out of their chests.
Chandler blocked Duncan and grabbed the defensive rebound this time.
The Nets attacked the frontcourt, and Lin Ying was flanked while holding the ball.
After he distributed the ball, he then took the initiative to play a pick-and-roll with Johnson. After facing Leonard, he turned around and asked for the ball.
Spurs, no double attack.
For a machine to operate perfectly, corresponding rules are indispensable.
The Spurs are now a precision machine running at high speed, and it must have many operating rules.
For example, when Leonard is facing the ball carrier, others will not come up to flank him.
The same thing happened when Leonard defended Durant against the Thunder.
Because this itself is a defensive trap.
Lin Ying played Leonard in singles, and he directly chose a post-up singles.
It was at this time that Lin Ying discovered that Leonard's defense was much stronger than before in the training camp.
Leonard's physical condition is at DPOY level and his motivation is high enough. The only thing he lacks is experience.
Over the course of the year, as Popovich's trust in him grew, he made rapid progress.
It's not surprising that Johnson was so embarrassed by his defense.
Lin Ying's fake move after turning around did not faze Leonard.
But in the next second, Lin Ying turned the fake into real and leaned back to take action.
Leonard obviously didn't expect this. Although he pounced on him immediately, it was still too late.
Lin Ying is not Johnson, his wingspan and shooting point are much higher.
"Whoa!"
Lin Ying showed an excellent performance and hit the target steadily again!
He has already scored 10 points in this quarter!
59 to 52!
The point difference has also narrowed to 7 points!
In the stands, Jordan couldn't help but pull his female companion beside him and said with a smile:
"Isn't this kid good? I taught him!"
The female companion next to me didn’t understand basketball, but she shook the ball and nodded vigorously.
"Crack!"
Jordan stretched out his hand and patted his female companion's thigh hard. After hearing a gasp, he smiled proudly.
Then, his hand was still stroking it back and forth.
The female companion beside her bit her lip and tensed up.
Jordan's laughter became even louder.
For the first time, he experienced the pleasure of guiding others to success, which was really wonderful.
Popovich had already gotten up from the bench and walked to the sideline.
In the Spurs' frontcourt attack, Duncan's shot was interfered with and deflected, but he made a tip-in with a self-shot shot.
