This striker is not serious

Jordan's signature move?

Lin Ying was quite curious when she heard this.

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

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

You can’t say you’re teaching him to stick out his tongue, right?

However, if Jordan says there is, there is.

Although Jordan picked a little, had a bad vision, and had bad luck when gambling, there should be no reason to deceive him.

This time, I have to be mentally prepared to continue being recruited.

After all, Jordan was so obsessed with being a player, but the team in his hands was so bad. This psychological gap is difficult to balance.

If he wasn't really old, he might have an NBA version of "The Boss is Warming Up."

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

He said before that Jordan was the GOAT and that was his true opinion, and he didn't want to make anything from Jordan.

After all, in his mind, there seems to be nothing to earn.

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

…

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

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

The Most Improved Award was won by Lance Stephenson of the Pacers.

Stephenson contributed the league's most five triple-doubles this season, and his growth has also given the Pacers a higher ceiling.

The best sixth man belongs to JR Smith!

Smith played 74 games with the Nets this season, including 67 as a substitute, averaging 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was the second highest in his career at 40%.

Although the statistics alone are not as good as Jamal Crawford of the Clippers, the Nets' record has greatly added to him.

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

Your exposure is high, and you are naturally more worthy of the Sixth Man Award in the eyes of reporters.

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

No matter from which perspective, it is not surprising that Smith won the Best Sixth Man.

The best head coach award went to Jason Kidd of the Cavaliers.

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

"You see, he is particularly 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 be worthy of its name?

Even Pat Riley would definitely be uncomfortable.

In his first season back, the Knicks returned to first place in the league, but failed to win an award.

Is it because Riley isn't old enough for Sloan, or his feelings haven't caught up with him?

…

"Did you get the address?"

"I heard about it, it's in Madrid, Spain."

"Then just send it over. Don't bother with anything else. She should have her own considerations if she doesn't want to go back to the United States to play. Just find someone to take care of her."

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

After hanging up the phone, a familiar yet almost unfamiliar little girl's face appeared in Lin Ying's mind.

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

European basketball is developing well, but that's only for men's basketball, and there are very few people watching women's basketball.

So it's almost hard to find news reports or anything like that.

And this is thanks to the rapid development of the LinK series, which was accidentally discovered while doing promotional activities in Spain.

Just like what Lin Ying said, Yang Shuyi's decision to play in Europe is his own consideration, and it's hard for him to help.

But that pair of sneakers, which Deron had not given to him before even asking, was still going to be given to the little girl.

The sneakers on the 85-point night will be a great motivation for the little girl working hard in a foreign country.

That's all he can do.

…

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

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

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

Not just the Nets, but also the Raptors.

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

Because they became more famous.

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

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

This is not necessarily true. Many people don’t know that Bosh was on the Raptors team that Kobe scored 81 points on.

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

In the final game of the regular season, he scored a career-high 46 points, which was very impressive compared to Biao Linying's 85 points.

Especially, this was achieved against Jimmy Butler, which makes it even more commendable.

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

DeRozan looked a little serious when training, and he seemed to be the type to be serious about his words.

But Lowry is a pistachio, and he is always surrounded by smiles.

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

"Are you confident that you can lead the team to defeat the Nets?"

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

…

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

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

At this moment, Lowry suddenly entered the circle of reporters.

"You are not allowed to bully my brothers."

Lowry directly protected DeRozan 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 is three years older than DeRozan. Now he is full of eldest brother style.

And after blocking DeRozan's gun, Lowry also answered reporters' questions.

"The defending champions we face are very strong opponents, but we will try our best. This is the first time we have reached the playoffs in many years, which is of great significance to us."

Lori looks like an old man at first glance.

And his aura also calmed the reporters.

After answering the questions that needed to be answered, Lowry pulled DeRozan toward the locker room.

At this time, without knowing what he said, Lowry laughed, and DeRozan also laughed.

This scene happened to be captured by a reporter.

Although the Raptors are not strong in terms of strength, the twin stars give people a feeling of vitality.

After all, he is young.

…

That night, under the spotlight, the first game of the series between the Nets and Raptors kicked off at the Barclays Center.

This game attracted a considerable number of fans.

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

This method of away stadium support has been recognized by the stadium and fans and has become a mainstream.

Of course, on the other side of the ocean, domestic fans have been waiting in front of the TV for a long time.

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

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

Since the Lakers' three consecutive championships, no team has achieved consecutive championships. If the Nets do it, they will become the new "public enemy of the league."

The feeling of changing from challenger to being challenged is very subtle, but also very interesting.

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

In the rotation of this team, Lowry, Chuck Hayes, Patrick Patterson, and even Novak on the bench have all played in the Rockets. Apart from Patterson, others are more

I played with Yao Mai.

Who wouldn’t want to see more of this kind of youthful team in China!

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

The Raptors appeared as the visiting team, and their lineup was the same as in the regular season.

Lowry, Rose, DeRozan, Amir Johnson, Valanciunas.

On the Nets side, Deron and Joe Johnson, who were absent in the final game, both returned and played in the full lineup.

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

The old broadcast agreement was the same as in previous years. The division playoffs were broadcast on ESPN, and the finals were broadcast on TNT.

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

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

The gorgeous playing style, overflowing talent, and regrettable injuries have made Tracy McGrady extremely popular.

And as mentioned before, many people from the Raptors team have played with him, and he was teammates with Lin Ying in the Suns. No one is more suitable than him.

Before the game even started, McGrady started telling some interesting stories about Lin Ying's time in the Suns.

"He is a lunatic in the training hall. We usually call people who train hard a training hall bug, but he is not like that.

He practices before games and after games. Apart from games, he only trains.

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

'Man, you're good enough, take a break and enjoy life!'

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

That’s different from people who pretend to work hard, because the results don’t lie.”

Brin nodded while listening, and couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

This belongs to the newly promoted Lin Chui. The competition for the first Lin Chui is indeed fierce.

After they finished chatting, the two sides started jumping the ball.

Chandler moved the ball back to the Nets half, and the playoffs officially began.

It's different from last year's game. The Nets hit Lin Ying right from the start.

Moreover, Lin Ying's current game dominance means that he doesn't even bother to create mismatches against ordinary teams.

Because ordinary people can't guard Lin Ying one-on-one, Johnson has proven this on the 85-point night.

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

This style of play is obviously a little different from the regular season. It uses Lin Ying more to contain and coordinate.

Deron catches the ball and shoots directly inside to create damage.

It can be seen that he is very excited.

This is the advantage of resting. Let’s not talk about the condition. It means that the physical fitness and desire for the game are full.

It's true that he hasn't fully recovered yet. He only made one of the two free throws, and he missed the second one before he made it.

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 were running tactics, Lowry, who was holding the ball, was flanked.

This didn't stop the Raptors' tactics from running out, and Lowry was forced to pass the ball to Amir Johnson.

Then when Johnson was also flanked, the ball couldn't come out and was directly intercepted by Lin Ying.

Karl's tactic of flanking the ball carrier seems simple, but it can be effective against ordinary teams.

After all, not every team is like the Spurs this season, with all five players on the field capable of handling the ball.

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

Players who play 2K should be very familiar with this point. Many people also like to play this way when playing dynasty mode. As long as the ball holder is flanked well, he can steal the ball in various ways.

The Nets played a fast break, and Butler used Deron's return pass to score.

The Raptors continued their position in the frontcourt, and this time Lowry took the initiative to pull the ball to the far end of the three-point line, hoping to open up the game space to break the Nets' attack.

This has had a certain effect, but the problem is that we are not in the small ball era yet. Lowry does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers from far away. The Nets only need to defend him alone.

Lowry tried to break through Deron, but he passed Deron and came to the three-point line, and was immediately flanked again.

His final pass was saved and intercepted by Lin Ying, and the Nets launched another fast break.

This time it was Johnson's fast break follow-up that resulted in a foul.

After making two free throws, the score on the court has reached 5-0!

At this time, the expressions of the Raptors players were a little confused.

Because of the intensity of this game, there is no comparison with the final game of the regular season!

Lowry turned his eyes to look at Casey on the sidelines. They were really young and a little panicked when faced with such 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 tactic in the past.

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

Just like Sloan's pick-and-roll, the tactic is not complicated, but not everyone can master it.

Karl has been the head coach for so long and has been using this tactic. His knowledge of this tactic is no lower than Sloan's knowledge of the pick-and-roll tactic.

During the regular season, I was told to hold back and reduce consumption, but in the playoffs, I just rolled up my sleeves and worked hard!

The Raptors have adopted a new tactic, with Lowry, DeRozan, and Valanciunas on the strong side, all of whom have certain ball-handling abilities.

This worked, and DeRozan's off-ball movement gave him a shot.

But Lowry's ball failed to pass.

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

In the end, Lowry had no choice but to attack from the other side to the basket.

The little steel gun rushed into the penalty area, but was immediately blocked by Chandler. His final shot missed the basket, and Chandler picked off the rebound.

Then, the Nets played another fast break.

This time, Lin Ying took the lead. After receiving the ball, he rose into the air in the three-second area of ​​the frontcourt against Rose who was changing defense. He stood across Rose...

"Bang!"

Smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"beep!"

The referee's whistle came a little late.

This is a 2+1!

6 to 0, there will be an additional penalty.

The Nets directly beat the Raptors into a cute dragon in the opening game.

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

After three days of separation, they were like two different teams!
