This Forward is Not Serious

Jordan's signature move?

Lin Ying was quite curious when he heard this.

Because Jordan's most signature move is to turn around and lean back, but he will.

As for the other skills, Jordan's other skills are all very strong, and it's hard to pick out one that stands out.

Can't be said to teach him to stick his tongue out?

But, Jordan said there is.

Although Jordan was a little bit stubborn, his eyesight was a little bit worse, and his luck was a little bit worse when he gambled, there should be no reason to fool him.

It is this time to be mentally prepared to continue being recruited.

After all, Jordan himself was so good as a player, but his team was so bad. It was difficult to balance this psychological gap.

If it's not really old, there may be an NBA version of "the boss is warming up".

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying was also in a good mood.

He said that Jordan was a GOAT before, and it was his true thoughts, and he didn't think about making any money from Jordan.

After all, in his cognition, it seems that there is nothing to earn.

But this incident shows that being pragmatic and sincere is not a bad thing.

...

Before the playoffs began, the league announced the first batch of awards of the season.

Most Improved Award, Best Sixth, and Best Head Coach.

The most improved award went to the Pacers' Lance Stephenson.

Stephenson has a league-high five triple-doubles this season, and his growth has given the Pacers a higher ceiling.

The best sixth man belongs to JR Smith!

Smith played in 74 games for the Nets this season, including 67 off the bench, averaging 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game while shooting a career-high 40 percent from three-point range.

Although the statistics alone are not as good as Jamal Crawford of the Clippers, the record of the Nets has a great bonus to him.

And, again, these awards are selected by the media.

Your exposure is high, and in the eyes of reporters, you are naturally more worthy of the best sixth man.

Not to mention the story of Smith and Bell is well known at the All-Star Game.

No matter from which point of view, Smith won the best sixth man is not surprising.

The best head coach went to the Cavaliers' Jason Kidd.

In Kidd's first season as coach, he led the team to the third place in the Eastern Conference, which perfectly met the expectations of the media.

"Look, he's very suitable for coaching."

Of course, the Cavaliers' record has also improved significantly compared to last season, so how can the Most Improved Coach Award not live up to its name?

It's just that Pat Riley would definitely be uncomfortable.

His first season back brought the Knicks back to No. 1 in the league, only to win an award.

Is it that Riley is not old enough for Sloan, or is his feelings not keeping up.

...

"Have you got the address?"

"I heard, in Madrid, Spain."

"Then send it over. Don't bother with the rest. She should have her own considerations if she doesn't go back to the United States to play. It's good to find someone to take care of it."

"Okay, I have already contacted the management of the team over there."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying's mind flashed a familiar and almost unfamiliar face of a little girl.

Just before the end of the season, news finally came from Anta that Yang Shuyi was now playing professionally in Spain.

The development of European basketball is good, but it is only limited to the men's basketball, and the women's basketball is also watched by a pitiful few people.

So news reports or something is almost hard to find.

And thanks to the rapid development of the LinK series, I stumbled upon it while doing a promotion in Spain.

Just like Lin Ying said, Yang Shuyi's playing in Europe is his own consideration, and he can't say help.

But that pair of sneakers, the sneakers he didn't give when Delong asked before, he still planned to give them to the little girl.

The 85-point night sneakers will be a great motivation for little girls who work hard in a foreign country.

That's all he can do.

...

The playoffs are about to begin, and the Raptors arrive in Brooklyn the day before the game.

According to the schedule, the Nets and the Raptors will be the first teams to start the playoffs this year, so they will attract more outside attention than expected.

This also attracted a large number of reporters to watch the training of the two teams.

Not just for the Nets, but for the Raptors.

From this perspective, this may not be a bad thing for the young Raptors.

Because they became better known.

Names like Lowry, DeRozan, and even Valanciunas didn't get that much attention before.

Some people may say that they are the background board with 85 points, which is not a good reputation.

This is not necessarily. Many people don't know that there was actually Bosh in the Raptors team that Kobe scored 81 points.

When the Raptors practiced that day, DeRozan was constantly captured by the media.

In the final battle of the regular season, he scored a career-high 46 points, and he scored 85 points against Biao Linying, which is still very elegant.

In particular, this was achieved against Jimmy Butler, which made it even more valuable.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a rising star.

DeRozan looked a little serious when he was training, and he seemed to be the no-nonsense type.

But Lowry is a pistachio, and there are always smiles around him.

When the practice was over, reporters surrounded DeRozan for interviews.

"Are you confident to lead the team to beat the Nets?"

"Do you think you can score 40+ in the playoffs?"

...

These reporters are also very bad, and they keep trying to get DeRozan down.

DeRozan scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, Lori suddenly rushed into the circle of reporters.

"You are not allowed to bully my brother."

Lowry put DeRozan directly behind him.

Although he is shorter than DeRozan and came to the Raptors later than DeRozan, he entered the league three years earlier than DeRozan, and he is three years older than DeRozan.

And after helping DeRozan block the gun, Lowry also answered those questions from reporters.

"We are facing the defending champions, the opponents are very strong, but we will try our best to play. This is the first time we have made the playoffs in many years, which means a lot to us."

At first glance, Lori is an old river and lake.

And his aura also stunned the reporters.

After answering the questions that should be answered, Lowry took DeRozan and walked towards the locker room together.

It was at this time, and I don't know what was said, Lowry laughed, and DeRozan laughed too.

This scene happened to be captured by a reporter.

Although the Raptors are not strong in terms of strength, this pair of Gemini gives a feeling of vitality.

Young after all.

...

That night, under the watchful eye, the series opener between the Nets and the Raptors kicked off at the Barclays Center.

The game attracted a considerable number of fans to watch.

Not only the Nets, but thousands of miles away in Toronto, fans also gathered at the Canada Airline Center Stadium.

This way of supporting away stadiums has been recognized by stadiums and fans, and has become a mainstream.

Of course, far away on the other side of the ocean, domestic fans have long been waiting in front of the TV.

Because the final game of the regular season was against the Raptors, and the 85-point night was still unfinished, this series felt like a sequel.

And like Lin Ying, domestic fans are also looking forward to the Nets' title defense this season.

Since the Lakers' three-peat, no team has done it in a row. If the Nets do it, they will become the new "public enemy of the league".

That feeling of going from challenger to challenged boss is subtle, but also fun.

And the Raptors have a lot of familiarity with domestic fans.

In this team's rotation, Lowry, Chuck Hayes, Patrick Patterson, and even Novak on the bench have all played in the Rockets. Except for Patterson, others are more I played with Yao Mai.

This kind of youthful team, who would not want to see more domestic fans!

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released.

The Raptors came in as the visiting team, with the same starting lineup as they did in the regular season.

Lowry, Rose, DeRozan, Amir Johnson, Valanciunas.

On the Nets side, Deron and Joe Johnson, who were absent from the final game before, both ushered in their comebacks and played with their entire main lineup.

Deron, Butler, Joe Johnson, Lin Ying, Chandler.

In the old broadcast agreement, as in previous years, the playoffs of the division were broadcast on ESPN, and it was TNT in the finals.

Tonight's commentary, ESPN sent their ace commentator Mike Brin, his partner is McGrady who just announced his retirement last year.

Although he failed to win a championship in his career, the championship does not completely define a player's career.

Gorgeous style of play, as well as overflowing talent, and regrettable injuries, these make McGrady have a high popularity.

And like I said before, many of the Raptors have played with him, and he and Lin Ying were teammates in the sun, no one is more suitable than him.

Before the game started, McGrady began to tell some interesting things about Lin Ying's time with the Suns.

"He's a gym maniac, we usually call people who train hard a gym bug, but he's not like that.

He practiced before the game, practiced after the game, except for the game, there was only training.

You know he was an All-Star by then, and I'd love to say:

‘Man, you are good enough, take a break and enjoy life! ’

But he never stopped, so I'm not surprised at what he's accomplished now.

That's not the same as someone who pretends to work hard because the results don't lie. "

Brin nodded while listening, and couldn't help laughing after hearing it.

The newly promoted Lin Bhui belongs to this category. The first Lin Bhui is indeed very competitive.

After they finished chatting, both sides began to jump the ball.

Chandler dialed the ball back to the Nets' half, and the playoffs officially kicked off.

Unlike last year's game, the Nets attacked Lin Ying as soon as they came up.

Moreover, Lin Ying's current dominance in the game does not make it difficult for ordinary teams to create dislocations.

Because one-on-one ordinary people can't guard against Lin Ying, Johnson has confirmed this on the night of 85 minutes.

The Raptors attacked decisively, and Lin Ying also passed the ball decisively.

This style of play is obviously a bit different from the regular season. This is more of using Lin Ying to contain and cooperate.

Delong received the ball and shot directly into the inside to create damage.

You could see he was excited.

This is the benefit of rest, let's not talk about the state, the physical fitness and desire of the game are full.

It is true that the state has not yet fully recovered, and only one of the two free throws was hit, and the second penalty was also knocked before entering.

Looking back, the Raptors played tactics in the frontcourt.

But they immediately felt the difference between the Nets and the regular season.

When the Raptors ran their tactics, Lowry, who was holding the ball, was pinched.

This left the Raptors' tactics unfinished, and Lowry was forced to give the ball to Amir Johnson.

Then, when Johnson was also pinched, Lin Ying broke the ball when it couldn't come out.

Karl's flanking ball-handler tactic may seem simple, but it can be effective against ordinary teams.

After all, not every team is like the Spurs this season, with five guys on the court that can handle the ball.

The key is the timing of double-teaming and the timing of returning to defense, as well as defensive pressure.

Players who play 2K should be very familiar with this. Many people also like to play in Dynasty mode. As long as the flanking ball holder does a good job of stealing the ball, it is a one-stop process.

The Nets played a fast break, and Butler scored with a return pass from Deron.

The Raptors continued their position in the frontcourt. This time, Lowry took the initiative to pull the ball to the far end of the three-point line, trying to break the Nets' attack by opening up the game space.

This has a certain effect, but the problem is that it is not yet the era of small balls. Lowry does not have the ability to exceed three-pointers. The Nets only need to defend him alone.

Lowry tried to break through Deron, but he passed Deron to the three-point line, and immediately encountered another attack.

His last pass was saved and stolen by Lin Ying, and the Nets had another fast break.

This time it was Johnson's fast break to follow up and cause a foul.

After the two free throws were made steadily, the score on the field has come to 5-0!

This time, the expressions of the Raptors team members were a little confused.

Because of the intensity of this game, it is completely incomparable with the final game of the regular season!

Lowry turned his head to look at Casey on the sidelines. They were really young, and they were a little flustered in the face of this intensity.

Casey made a tactical gesture.

As Karl's assistant back then, how could he not know Karl's tactics!

In fact, he has been training how to deal with this flanking tactics in the past.

It's just that training and competition are really not the same thing.

Like Sloan's pick-and-roll, the tactics are not complicated, but not everyone can play it well.

Karl has been the head coach for so long and has been using this play, and his attainment of this play is no less than that of Sloan's pick-and-roll play.

In the regular season, it was said to keep some points and reduce consumption, but in the playoffs, it is to roll up your sleeves and work hard!

The Raptors have played a new set of tactics. Lowry, DeRozan, and Valanciunas on the strong side all have a certain ability to handle the ball.

That worked, and DeRozan's off-ball movement got a shot.

But Lowry's ball didn't pass.

Because Deron was so clean tonight, he directly strangled his passing angle.

In the end, Lowry could only choose to break through to the basket from the other side~www.readwn.com~ Xiaogang Gun slammed into the penalty area, but was immediately blocked by Chandler, and the final shot went out of the basket, and the rebound was blocked. Chandler took it off.

Then, the Nets hit the fast break again.

This time, Lin Ying took the lead. After receiving the ball, he rose into the air in the front three seconds zone against Ross who switched defenses, separated by Ross...

"Bang!"

Smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"beep!"

The referee's whistle came a little late.

It's a 2+1!

6 to 0, but also a penalty.

The Nets directly beat the Raptors into Menglong in the opening game.

Only 3 days have passed since the end of the regular season.

Three days apart, it's like two teams!
