278: Exciting way to celebrate (monthly pass)
Jeremy Lin sat on the bench panting. In the first quarter, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Grizzlies by 4 points. It was so glorious. But only Jeremy Lin knew how tired and aggrieved he played in the first quarter.
The 12 points in a single quarter were completely forced out because he couldn't find the passer! The Grizzlies blocked the pass route, and Jeremy Lin could only bite the bullet and even fought head-on with the fierce Black and White bears just to get two free throws when there was no way out.
In the first quarter, he was able to score fouls and scored some difficult goals. But what about the subsequent games? Can he perform so well in every quarter? Jeremy Lin himself was unsure.
So, when he heard the loud noise from the buzzer, he was quite nervous. The beginning was too high-profile and I don’t know how to end it later.
After Link came on the court, he jumped around on the spot for a few times. In the first quarter just ended, after Randolph left the court, the team's offense suddenly became silent. Guy was still in a turmoil today and could not bear the banner of attack.
Then now, it's up to you to take over the attack.
Although Jeremy Lin knew that his performance in the first quarter was forced out, the commentators didn't know that they thought that today would be Jeremy Lin's scoring night.
"At Staples, Jeremy Lin almost scored 40 points. So, don't question his explosiveness in scoring. This guy might really score a high score today. 12 points in a single quarter may be just the beginning." Kenny Smith was also commenting on the stage looking forward to Jeremy Lin's more explosive performance, and most fans are the same.
But the initiative in the game has quietly changed the master. Psychologically, Jeremy Lin is not at the advantage.
In the second quarter, the first attacker turned into the Grizzlies. Link was very active this time and gave Conley an unball cover in the first half.
Conley used the cover to break through, but just two seconds later he passed the ball back to Link. Due to the cover, Bill Walker went to chase Conley, so it was Jeremy Lin who was guarding Link now!
"Here! The first time between the two of them today!" Everyone was excited, and today's highlight finally appeared!
Without hesitation, Link directly held the ball with Jeremy Lin on his back and chiseled hard! Jeremy Lin is 1.91 meters tall and Link is 2.03 meters tall. If he doesn't compete with him in height and weight, can he compete with him in speed?
This is NBA. Your opponent will not let you go of any weakness.
Others in the Knicks are not very brave enough to defend for the time being, after all, Link's passing ability is well known. As long as there is a slight gap, he can send the ball over.
So, Link crushed the free throw line with his back to the back of the way, and then calmly turned over and jumped into the free throw!
These days, seeing Link watches too much defense, suddenly seeing his long-lost jump shot, the Grizzlies fans all raised their arms excitedly.
Link did not disappoint them. The next second, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and the fans who raised their arms were able to shout out loud!
No matter how low-key he is, Link is now an offensive kaleidoscope. Except for what he has to rely on physical fitness, he can do something else.
"Link's score was too easy, and this misalignment did not put any pressure on Link. Link's personal 6th point today, is this the beginning of his challenge against Jeremy Lin?"
Jeremy Lin felt the pressure, and it was obvious that the Grizzlies had begun to deliberately look for themselves on the offensive end. The purpose of doing this was to consume him as much as possible.
When a player consumes too much physical strength and energy on the defensive end, his offense will naturally be affected.
Jeremy Lin continued to carry the ball and advanced, and today he really encountered a tough fight. 12 points in a single quarter were just a beautiful illusion in the abyss.
This time, Jeremy Lin chose to use a pass to break the gap. But after the basketball was hit by Stoudemire, the guy didn't know what was wrong with him and shot it.
Since returning from the funeral, Stadmar's sight seems to have forgotten about the plane, and the hit rate of the last two games is very urgent.
This time, in the face of Randolph's interference in the CET, Stoudemier made a blacksmith again. It seems that Stoudemier will not be able to attack Jeremy Lin with peace of mind. He came to New York for money and status.
He wants to be the king of New York and become a popular person like a rock star. So, Xiao Si is not willing to be a blue-collar worker every time.
Unfortunately, his shooting ended up adding a rebounding stat to Randolph.
"The Grizzlies have a chance to equalize the score, and Stodmeier's choice is too fascinating. Jeremy Lin is eager to organize an attack, but Stodmeier ruined all this." Kenny Smith shook his head. If Anthony returns from injury, the Knicks' offense may become more chaotic.
Link swam slowly outside the three-point line, looking the same as in the first quarter.
But just as Bill Walker relaxed his vigilance, Link suddenly cut in, scaring Walker so much that he quickly moved his trampled knees.
Walker just followed Link's footsteps, but Link turned 90° without warning and cut from the bottom line to the top of the arc outside the three-point line.
Walker's reaction was already a beat slower. When he caught up, he encountered Gasol's unballed cover. Now, Link was completely empty.
Seeing that Link was in an open position, all the players on the Grizzlies raised their arms in advance. They trained with Link every day, and they knew better than anyone else how high the guy's open hit rate was!
Link came out, and Conley had the opportunity to deliver the ball to the right time. The rest, just hold your breath.
Walker rushed out in a tight-fitting manner, but when he jumped up to block the ball, the basketball had already flown into the air.
After Link made a move, he still raised his shooting hand. Before the basketball was in the frame, Link turned around in advance and made three fingers!
"What is Link doing!? Are you celebrating the goal in advance!?"
Before Kenny Smith finished speaking, basketball was hollowed out into the net! Link scored 5 points in a row, and the Grizzlies surpassed the score in just two rounds!
At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena was in full swing! Just now, the fans and the players on the bench celebrated the goal in advance, and now, Link has also come.
Only a madman like Arenas has done this before! Unexpectedly, this scene can be reproduced in the Federal Express Arena!
The moment he heard the cheers after turning around, Link breathed a sigh of relief! He turned around in advance when he saw the basketball's flight trajectory was very correct.
Although he looks handsome on the surface, Link is actually very nervous! If the ball is not scored in the end, it would be embarrassing.
In the future, Nick Young and Kemba Walker celebrated the embarrassment of not scoring the goal in advance. Link didn't want to experience it. Fortunately, the cheers mean that the ball has entered, so you can feel at ease now!
This way of celebration is really exciting!
"He is too confident. Link has really completed his transformation this season! He is becoming more and more like a star. Whether in terms of strength or temperament, he is becoming more and more like a star player who is not easy to mess with! Celebrating the goal in advance? I dare say that few people in the league dare to play like this. After all, it is very embarrassing to mess around."
Link's two consecutive goals greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies. Correspondingly, Jeremy Lin is under great pressure now. He is afraid that he will not be able to continue the score, and he is afraid that he will be suppressed by Link.
Then, Jeremy Lin continued to try to make a layup by himself. But this time, Gasol Jr. did not bump into it roughly, but instead covered Jeremy Lin's basketball.
The strategy changes were effective. In the end, Jeremy Lin's layup hit the box and he did not foul. The Knicks' offense was like a meteor, which was bright when crossing the sky, but it just flashed by.
"The Knicks still didn't score, and they were a little weak in the follow-up. The Grizzlies did not stop their pace, they continued to attack!"
This time, Gasol, Jr., held the ball with his back from the middle distance. Everyone thought that he would try to fight Tyson alone.
However, Gasol Jr. did this just to lead the boxing champion out of the penalty area.
After the Knicks was pulled out of the penalty area, Link waited for an opportunity to cut into the basket, and Gasol tacitly lifted the ball in. Link jumped up directly in the air to receive the basketball. Facing Stoudemire's blockage, he used a beautiful trolley to avoid the block and easily scored the goal.
"It's very difficult to make a layup after an all-in-one trolley, but Link still perfectly advances the ball. Gasol Jr. showed his different side from other centers, and his ability to support is really excellent. You can't find this ability either in Bynum or in DeAndrew Jordan. This is why he can become a member of the Western Conference Stars."
The Grizzlies scored 7 points in a row in the second quarter, and Link's personal score also rose to 11th. It was only 1 point away from Jeremy Lin, who had 12 points in a single quarter! It was only a matter of time to suppress him.
D'Antoni quickly paused the game. He could see that Link wanted to snatch control of the game from Jeremy Lin! He wanted to score with Jeremy Lin!
Chapter completed!
