Lu didn't talk much, but every sentence was on point.

Especially the example he gave immediately relaxed the nervousness of the team members.

That's right, they have Lin Ying here, why are they panicking? There's nothing worth panicking about!

Even if the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, so what?

Lin Ying is the giant who holds up the world and stands firm!

Seeing that the team members' emotions had recovered, Lu picked up the tactical board.

His tactical layout is as uncomplicated as before, the only difference is that he bolded "Tactics No. 1".

After the timeout, players from both sides continue to return to the court.

At this time, the Nets fans at the scene were still very nervous, because after seeing the Nets' victory, it was difficult to accept the defeat.

There was no lineup adjustment on either side, and the Knicks took technical free throws after the timeout.

Paul made a solid free throw, and the score came to 54-40. The Knicks still had the ball.

They have the opportunity to extend the score to 15+ and determine the victory in advance.

Paul was controlling the ball in the frontcourt, and Anthony took the initiative this time to set up a pick-and-roll.

After the split, Paul made a beautiful behind-the-back pass and passed the ball back to Anthony. Anthony faced Bradley's signature pull-up.

"Whoosh!"

The net passes through the net!

Anthony is in a hot state being fed by Paul!

After scoring the goal, Anthony smiled and high-fived Paul, his warm and innocent smile reappeared!

This time the point difference exceeded the 15-point mark and reached 16 points. The Nets were in danger.

"Come on! Nets!"

Driven by the live DJ, the fans began to cheer for the home team in unison.

When Lin Ying arrived in the frontcourt, he did not ask for the ball directly like before, but ran a ball-free pick-and-roll with Durant.

The purpose of this is very clear, which is to delay the Knicks' attack.

Do you think "Tactics No. 1" is just as simple as handing the ball to Lin Ying?

How to pay, when to pay, and how to pay, these are all questions!

The Nets' arrangement also worked perfectly. After Lin Ying received the ball, he jumped up and accelerated to break through. The Knicks' defense had no time to come up. When Lin Ying broke through and took one step inside the free throw line, he faced Porzingi who was assisting in defense.

Si made a throw.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!

The Nets broke their scoring drought!

The Nets fans at the scene burst into cheers instantly.

The Nets bench was also in a state of excitement.

What? The Nets are 16 points behind? Only 16 points!

With Lin Ying here, 16 points means nothing!

"Defend! Defend!"

As the offense and defense transitioned, the fans cheered.

Getting started, sometimes it’s that simple!

"Whoosh!"

However, after Anthony caught the ball and singled out Durant, he still had the chance to turn around and take a shot!

Although he has spent most of his time with the Knicks in the past two years racking up statistics, his ability is still there, but it just takes longer to get into form.

This point was perfectly solved with the arrival of Paul.

Looking back, Lin Ying repeated his old tricks. This time the Knicks came up with defense quickly enough and attacked him from both sides, wrapping him up like a dumpling.

Lin Ying saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner.

Ariza adjusted his three-point shot after receiving the ball.

"Whoosh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

On the importance of mentality!

Earlier, Lu said that with Lin Ying, everything would be fine. Then Lin Ying came back from a timeout and used his score to tell others: Yes, Lu is right!

This wave of psychological changes is invisible, but it is indeed effective.

Because when Tiezha can shoot so steadily, you know that the Nets' mentality has completely returned!

But looking back, Anthony singled out Durant, turned around with great difficulty and leaned back, hitting Durant's long arm with a high arc for two points!

After scoring the goal, Anthony excitedly hit his head with three fingers, and then roared with all his strength.

It can be seen that he is in good condition now and is extremely excited.

After all, he had been pinned to the ground by Lin Ying for so many years, and now he finally had the chance to pin Lin Ying to the ground, how could he not be excited!

Lu frowned.

Lin Ying did do his part, but the key is that the Knicks were in great shape tonight.

Especially after the Nets gained momentum during this period, Anthony felt hot and the Nets still couldn't limit the Knicks' scoring.

In addition to scoring points, it is also important to limit the opponent's scoring.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to chase points, and it would be a stalemate at best.

On the court, Lin Ying turned to look at Durant.

Although he didn't speak, Durant quickly understood the meaning in Lin Ying's eyes.

"I can handle it."

Durant was very calm when he spoke, indicating that he was not overly concerned at this time.

And the reason why he said this is also very simple. Lin Ying already has to carry the team on his shoulders on the offensive end. If he invests more in the defensive end, the consumption on both ends will be very large. This will be a big blow to the Nets.

is disadvantageous.

In the Nets' offense, Lin Ying dropped directly to the high post this time with Porzingis behind him to get the ball.

Because Ariza had just made a three-pointer, the Knicks' defensive contraction at this time was obviously hesitant.

This is the team nature of basketball. Even if it is just a three-pointer, the mentality of the defender will change.

And sometimes the time needed to attack is just this one time.

Such as now.

After receiving the ball, Lin Ying turned to face Porzingis, broke through directly and then turned and leaned back toward the free throw line.

Porzingis couldn't keep up with Lin Ying's rhythm and relied on his physical talent to jump up hard, causing Lin Ying to interfere.

His height, wingspan and flexibility are indeed outstanding among big men, but this kind of interference is not enough for Lin Ying.

"Whoosh!"

Not enough!

Lin Ying scored 4 points and 1 assist after returning from timeout!

47 to 60!

A 13-point difference!

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene cheered and cheered for the Nets.

The defensive enthusiasm of the Nets players on the court is increasing rapidly.

Paul organized two consecutive waves with no good opportunities, and finally gave the ball to Anthony.

Anthony caught the ball and attacked Durant from behind, and his shot to the basket caused a defensive foul on Durant.

Durant defended this ball very hard, and he blocked Anthony's shooting angle.

It's just that Anthony's body reaction became faster after he got into the state, and he still completed the shot after adjusting his dodge in the air.

Durant was a little anxious about this penalty because it was his third personal foul.

He tried to explain to the referee that he didn't make the move, but that didn't work.

When Lu was about to replace him, he started arguing with Lu excitedly.

The scene seemed a little out of control.

At this time, Lin Ying went over and pulled Durant in front of him, then pressed his head down and pressed his head against his head.

"Believe me, believe me? Believe me!"

After repeating a sentence with a progressive tone three times, Durant's mood finally stabilized.

In fact, Lin Ying also knew why Durant was anxious. Durant never wanted to be the person who held him back, especially after experiencing the ups and downs of the season.

But there are always some nights when a basketball game doesn't go well, and that's called stability.

This is why I still keep training after reaching the top of my strength.
