Chapter four hundred and eighty(2/2)
But he also responded with a smile on his face.
Lin Ying's social circle is not big, but his status in the alliance is not achieved through socializing, but is achieved through real battles.
George was one of the ones who were beaten to death at the time, and he was full of respect for Lin Ying.
After the warm-up, both sides entered the opening ceremony, and the lineups of both sides were released one after another.
Pacers: George Hill, Monta Ellis, George, Miles Turner, Hibert;
Nets: Bradley, JR, Ariza, Lin Ying, Jokic.
Before the game started, Lin Ying was still feeling a little disappointed when she saw Durant sitting there.
"Laughing, we will win."
Lin Ying went over and patted Durant on the shoulder.
Durant barely squeezed out a smile.
Lin Ying clapped her hands and forgot it, she laughed even worse than crying.
A long whistle came from the sidelines, and players from both sides appeared one after another.
Hibert and Jokic jump ball in the middle circle.
Hibert pushed the ball back to the half, George got the ball, and the Pacers got the first opportunity to attack.
The Pacers came up and played a "diamond". After receiving the ball, George rushed to take a quick move before Lin Ying's assisting defense.
His movements are silky and fast.
"Swish!"
Basketballs are directly hollowed out to the bag!
The Pacers scored first.
The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, and Lin Ying was attacked by a crossover, and the ball was given to Ariza in the corner. The latter got a big open opportunity and he quickly took action.
"Dou!"
Iron-smash!
The rebound was taken off by Turner.
Turner is the No. 11 show this year, with a height of 2.11 meters, outstanding arm-show, and relatively excellent movement among big men.
He and Hibert were on the court at the same time, and the Pacers' rebounds were guaranteed.
Moreover, the Nets thought Ariza would advance, but he was half a beat slower when he retreated.
George had already rushed out of the three-point line at this time, and Turner made a long pass forward.
The ball was a bit big, but George ran fast. After getting the ball, he strided to the frontcourt and jumped into the air from a distance to avoid Ariza's chase after the attack.
"Bang!"
A gliding dunk hit the ball heavily into the basket!
The Pacers' bench was in full swing.
There was a turmoil at the scene.
The Pacers took the lead and played the Nets 5-0 at the beginning!
And all of these 5 points came from George alone.
From the opening three-pointer to the dunk just now, you can't tell that this is a player who returned after a serious injury!
Durant reached out and slapped his thigh.
As a big social media player, Durant will certainly see fans commenting on that.
It’s just that he didn’t go to fight with those people because of his depression.
Seeing the situation in front of me again, I became depressed and anxious.
For players, it is the most uncomfortable to be unable to play than to perform well on the court.
Lin Ying asked Jokic to play a pick-and-roll for himself.
Jokic's pick-and-roll was very strong, George was blocked and Lin Ying pulled it out from the middle distance.
"Swish!"
Basketball hollowed-out bag.
The Pacers' lineup has changed a lot compared to two years ago, but there are two key characters that have not changed, one is George and the other is Hibert.
This kind of pick-and-roll basically takes place as long as Jokic blocks it, he will practice shooting.
The fight against Hibert was tried and done many times, but the situation is still the same.
The Nets broke the scoring drought.
The Pacers continued to play "diamonds" in the frontcourt, but this time Ariza bypassed the pick-and-roll, and George did not form a direct scoring opportunity.
The ball returned to Hill's hand, and Turner hit Lin Ying with one of the balls in the low post but failed to score.
Although he has an advantage in height and weight, Lin Ying's low-post defense skills are excellent, and the rookie still has no rhythm.
Jokic stuck Hibert and took the defensive rebound, and the Nets pushed the counterattack directly.
There are pros and cons for two big men, but the disadvantage is that they are too slow to retreat.
Lin Ying received a pass from Bradley in the fast break and scored a dunk.
5 to 4.
Lin Ying scored 4 points in a row, and the Nets have already caught up with the gap!
Durant's face had improved a lot at this time.
He realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.
Lin Ying is no longer the "Pippen" who passed the ball to her at Texas University back then!
With Lin Ying around, no matter how his teammates change, the Nets are a championship-level team.
Just when he was thinking this way, Lin Ying knocked Ellis' breakthrough out of the field again in the defense.
The Nets are about to take shape.
At the critical moment, George broke through Jokic after pick-and-roll and caused a foul and got two free throws.
He is going to stage a "Return of the King" in the season opening game!
It's a pity that he only made one of his two free throws.
6 to 4.
The Pacers continue to lead.
Lin Ying gave the ball to Jokic after he arrived at the frontcourt, and then ran without the ball.
The preseason game is not in vain. Although Durant is missing, JR's ability to go without the ball is not weak.
The Pacers' defense was disrupted.
Jokic made a fake move to pass the ball to the basket at the top of the arc, forcing Hibert to retreat to the free throw line.
The next second he made a fake fax shot and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Hibert was too slow and he had no time to snatch it out when he realized it. He could only turn around and move to the basket to grab the board.
"Bang!"
Jokic's ball has a very high curve. After hitting the rebound, the ball rebounded and fell into the net bag!
6 to 7!
The Nets overtake the score!
After scoring the goal, the fat man looked happy and even brimmed with Lin Ying while retreating.
Durant finally smiled and got up and reached out to applaud.
What did Lin Ying say just now?
Good things are wear-resistant!
If the Nets can still perform well when he is injured, then he will be invincible when he returns!
On the other side of the court, Vogel's face looked a little ugly.
It's not just because they're suppressed by the Nets without Durant, the bigger problem is Hibert.
Hibert is a negative effect on the field. There is no way to play against this kind of space on the defensive end, and even the gun board cannot rob Jokic.
After hesitating for a while, Vogel turned around and replaced Hibert with Jordan Hill.
Hibert was a little unhappy when he ended up and ignored Vogel and sat heavily on the bench.
But at this moment, the fat man on the field showed a strange smile.
Chapter completed!
