This striker is not serious

Social media wasn't quiet for long, as Knicks fans seemed to find a new outlet the next day.

And that target is Knicks head coach Doc Rivers.

"Why didn't Rivers let someone come up to attack Lin Ying in the end?"

This question that has been mentioned countless times after the game has been raised again, and it is destined to have no answer just like in the past.

Rivers didn't pay attention at first, but he soon discovered that things were different from what he imagined.

Because, this is New York!

The media spotlight magnifies everything.

Soon, the negative comments about the tactics being monotonous and chicken soup came flooding in.

Even if Rivers didn't consciously pay attention to these, these sounds would still come to his ears.

Being a head coach in New York is really not that easy!

Fortunately, there was a game between the Lakers and the Mavericks the next day, and a lot of attention was distracted from Rivers.

And this G3 was also exciting.

Although the Mavericks lost in G2, the 1-1 score was equivalent to stealing the home court from the Lakers. Playing at home in G3 is their opportunity.

This is indeed how the game started.

Nowitzki didn't feel very good, but under the leadership of Yao Ming, the Mavericks still established a double-digit lead at halftime.

In the second half, Nowitzki also found his touch, and the Mavericks once extended their lead to 18 points.

But what no one expected was that in this kind of adversity, Kobe unexpectedly went berserk.

Turn around and lean back, make a pull-up jumper, step up and down at the elbow, break through the pull bar...

He used all his eighteen weapons.

The 34-year-old Kobe is old, but not old enough. He still has the ability to determine the trend of the game.

Finally, under the influence of Kobe, Paul also began to enter the state.

Under the impact of the Lakers' super backcourt, the Mavericks' defense looked slow and old.

In the end, the Lakers completed an 18-point reversal, narrowly defeated the Mavericks 106-101, and won the crucial G3.

This game can be said to be very frustrating for the Mavericks.

And Lakers fans also have enough reasons to believe that they will finally return to the Finals.

…

G4 is more critical than G3.

The Knicks definitely don't want to let the Nets take a 3-1 lead on themselves.

But for the Nets, they don't want to lose, because if they lose, they have to go to Tianwang Mountain, and the advantage they gained before will be lost.

Before the G4 game, Nets players trained at the Barclays Center as in the past.

The Knicks came here to train before, but they didn't want to go to Madison Square Garden.

Just like Deron said, even if it’s training, who doesn’t want to stay in a better place!

After training, Deron's knee felt a little uncomfortable and he went to the medical room.

Because Johnson is also undergoing recovery treatment, he can be considered a companion.

Lin Ying stayed with Butler in the training hall to practice for a while.

Halfway through the practice, the two of them sat on the sidelines and took a short break.

"LeBron is overrated. He didn't dare to shoot at the last moment."

The topic between the two training madmen was naturally related to basketball.

Butler was complaining about James' last choice in the last game.

"Jimmy, LeBron is a great player."

Lin Ying said very seriously.

This is not a compliment.

Just like an artist, personal ethics and art are separate.

You can't deny a person's artistic work just because his personal ethics are poor.

The same goes for players.

James' decision has caused him to receive a lot of criticism, and he even pursues a perfect character too much, often appearing to be both insincere and outright.

But one thing you have to admit is that he is very strong.

Especially because of Lin Ying's appearance and the butterfly effect, he is even stronger than at the same time in history.

The most intuitive point is that when the Knicks played the Celtics before, James could rely on outside shooting and then combine sudden shots to score 17 points in a row in front of Howard's team. This was definitely impossible to happen at the same time in history.

And just like what Rick Barnes taught back then, respecting your opponents also means respecting yourself.

If you defeat an opponent you don't think is strong, what's the point?

"And there is no absolute limit on whether to pass or take a shot at the last moment. If they flank me in the next game, I will also choose to pass the ball. You have to be mentally prepared to catch the ball."

Lin Ying continued.

Butler nodded seriously after listening.

He is by Lin Ying's side, just like Lin Ying was by Kobe's side, he is constantly growing in learning.

After chatting for a while, they got up and prepared to continue training.

Then, they saw an unexpected guest coming to the training gym.

Billups.

This is rare.

Veterans generally have relatively little training in this aspect.

The main reason is that when they reach this age, they will have some injuries.

In history, Isaiah Thomas, who is very familiar to fans, complained about Wade not training, which was actually because of this.

So it's really rare for Billups to come over for extra practice.

However, it is understandable.

He didn't play very well in the last game, shooting 1 of 4, 4 points and 5 assists.

Although in fact, the Nets only need his organization now and do not need his contribution in scoring.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand things like this, just be afraid of the eventuality.

…

G4 and the New York Derby received greater attention than G3.

Because Johnson was injured before, the Knicks obviously had the advantage.

But now Bogut is injured too.

Bogut's impact on the Knicks is definitely greater than Johnson's impact on the Nets.

This time the results become unpredictable, and fans' expectations will naturally be raised higher.

Well, the police presence around Madison Square has nearly doubled.

The more intense the series becomes, the more worried there will be a large-scale off-field conflict.

In fact, after the last game, there was a small-scale conflict.

During the warm-up before the game, the live cameras scanned the players on both sides.

The Knicks players looked particularly serious.

Although both games cannot be lost, in comparison, the Knicks obviously have less retreat than the Nets.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams came out.

Knicks: James, Wade, Prince, Bosh, Kenyon Martin

Nets: Deron, Butler, Lin Ying, Yi Jianlian, Chandler

Both sides have their main players absent, and this series has already begun to feel tragic.

Then when the game actually started, the tragedy turned into a fierce confrontation.

The Nets' strategy is the same as the previous game, still focusing on defense.

Then in this game, the Knicks had no retreat, and Rivers also played the defensive card.

The result is that this game is completely a confrontation of muscles and a collision of bodies.

From time to time, people on the field fell on their backs, and the referee did not blow his whistle tightly to ensure the enjoyment of the game.

It was very exciting for the fans to watch, but the smell of gunpowder on the field was getting stronger and stronger.

During a Knicks offense, James elbowed Deron on the neck when he broke through, almost triggering a large-scale conflict between the two sides.

Fortunately, the referee's whistle came in time and the two sides were separated in time.

In the following period, the referee's whistles obviously became more intensive.

I originally thought that nothing drastic would happen again, but what happened next was something no one expected.

Deron suffered a secret loss, and when he turned around to break through, he also gave James an elbow, and directly slapped him in the face.

James got an elbow and held his face, and Kenyon Martin immediately rushed over and overthrew Deron.

Things are pretty normal up to this point, and it's something that often happens in the NBA.

But the next part is really surprising.

Deron stood up after being pushed down, and then rushed directly towards Martin.

Martin was so big, so of course he was worthy of Delong, and he stretched out his hand to stop Delong.

"Bang!"

But Deron's subsequent punch knocked him unconscious.

He didn't even see clearly how Delong punched, his eyes were as wide as bells.gif.

In fact, let alone Martin, everyone else on the court, including the Nets, didn't expect it at all.

Then before anyone else could react, Deron had already dealt a burst of damage to the confused Martin.

Martin finally reacted and started to fight back against Deron. For a moment, fists and shadows were exchanged, and the basketball court seemed to have turned into a UFC fighting arena.

By the time the players on both sides reacted to separate the two sides, Martin's huge body had already collapsed... and was knocked down directly!

Time seemed to be frozen for a moment.

Logically speaking, if Martin was beaten, the entire Knicks team would go up and fight.

But looking at the reactions of other players after Bogut was injured, we know that the Knicks are not that united.

And more importantly, Deron's output this time was too shocking.

Everyone knows the grudge between the two teams. The punch Chandler gave James made him known as the "Boxing Champion".

Now it seems that Brooklyn's boxing champion is not Chandler, but Deron!

What's very interesting is that when the players on both sides separated and Martin was carried to the bench by his teammates in a daze, Lin Ying was given a close-up shot.

For no other reason than to let fans recall Lin Ying’s past days in Denver, recall the dull past events of elbowing Horry and KOing Bowen.

Lin Ying looked at the large LED screen at this time.

Of course he knew what the photographer wanted to do, but he didn't pay much attention and quickly looked away.

Compared with his own feat back then, he felt that Delong's was more shocking.

One is because he was a big player against a small one back then, but Deron is now a small player against a big one. This is a cross-level knockout!

Second, it is really unexpected that Deron was affectionately called "Little Fatty" by domestic fans! As a result, he defeated the tough guy Martin!

Martin is his former teammate, and he knows that it is not a good thing!

During training that year, Martin had a problem with Nene and blew the latter's eye sockets out!

And at this time, he had to recall what Deron said when he communicated with Chandler in the locker room.

"I come from a fighting family."

That's not bragging, it should be true!

The large LED screen at the scene also cut the lens and started the replay of the conflict just now.

The scene of Deron beating Martin was also shown, and there was an uproar at the scene.

Delong's boxing skills are really UFC!

Lin Ying was in a state of shock and didn't look too carefully.

Now that I take a closer look, I am really much more professional than Zhu Fangyu!

Then, he turned to look at Chandler and couldn't help but smile.

There's Chandler, Deron, plus him, and Iverson sitting on the bench who stepped on Bowen's face. Are all the Nets really evil?

I'm afraid that after tonight's game, anyone who encounters the Nets will have to think through it first!

The only problem now is that if Deron takes such action, he will probably be expelled or even suspended.

Moreover, the Nets suddenly lost Deron, and there was a big question mark as to whether they could win this game.

Fighting is fun for a while, but there are many problems later!

At the end of the technical timeout, the referee gave Martin a level one flagrant and then gave Deron a level two flagrant and was ejected.

This is also an expected penalty.

You've beaten people down, and it's impossible not to expel them.

So in the end, although Martin was only malicious at the first level and would not be expelled, he was wheeled into the tunnel and will definitely not be able to come back tonight.

Deron then left the game to boos from Knicks fans.

Of course, it was also amid the loud cheers of Nets fans outside the arena.

These Nets fans are getting to know their team again!

The game on the field continued, and Sloan's expression was a little serious.

I don't know whether it was because he was angry at Deron's impulsiveness, or because of the seriousness of the game in front of him.

Deron was expelled, and the Nets replaced Billups, and the Knicks replaced Landry.

At this time, in order to avoid any further conflicts, the whistle on the field became very tight.

Under this kind of penalty scale, the defensive intensity also drops off a cliff.

The two sides were forced into an offensive battle.

This time, it becomes a bit difficult for the Nets.

Originally, the Nets' three offensive giants were Lin Ying, Johnson, and Deron.

Now that everything is fine, only Lin Ying is left.

As for the Knicks, even though Bogut and Martin are not here, the impact is more on the defensive end.

The Knicks quickly took advantage.

But before they had time to expand this advantage, the Nets got the score back again!

The X-factor of the game: Chauncey Billups!

With both Deron and Johnson out, the Knicks double-teamed Lin Ying without any discussion.

At this time, the rest of the team got some very good shooting opportunities.

Billups had a mediocre feel in the previous games, so he was naturally let go.

The result was that Billups hit three three-pointers in a row!

This directly stunned the Knicks.

Especially when the last three-point shot helped the Nets take the lead, Rivers called a timeout and then looked like a pig.

The Nets bench was in a state of excitement.

Although Billups is old, his heart is not old at all!

In addition to all the bad guys in the Nets team, this team also has a big heart per game.

Lin Ying couldn't help but put his hand on Billups' shoulders and smiled with a smile on his face.

Billups also came over to practice during the day, so it seemed like he was really prepared for a rainy day!
