Chapter 186 Be the first to attack!(2/3)
Especially after finishing the injection, I saw a table of delicious food cooked by Yang Shuyu.
Just, there are hundreds of millions of points of confusion.
He is a physical therapist and also a chef!
His stomach was protesting.
…
In the end of G4, Bynum was only called for a common foul, but after the game, the league added a second-level flagrant foul and suspended him for one game and fined him $15,000.
Stern: I feel like my China market building shook.
Lin Ying was ultimately absent from the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.
In this wave, both sides are missing one of their generals.
At the end of the game, the Nuggets unexpectedly lost to the Lakers.
In fact, if you look at the data, you will find that although Bynum has grown up at this time, he is still too young.
Taking this year's playoffs as an example, Bynum averaged only 17 minutes per game and averaged only 6 points and 4 rebounds per game.
G4 Jackson brought him up at the last moment to protect the inside.
More often than not, the Lakers' inside combination is Gasol and Odom.
Moreover, Odom's condition this year is obviously better than last season, especially after entering the playoffs, his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage exceeded 50%.
So missing Bynum is completely acceptable to the Lakers.
But without Lin Ying’s nuggets...
It’s hard to describe in one word!
Although the Nuggets and Lakers also played 2-4 in history, many situations are different now.
First of all, the Lakers have been working together for half a season longer than the same period in history and are stronger.
Secondly, the Nuggets' playing style is also different from that in history. You suddenly take away an offensive core, which has a huge impact.
Then there's Karl's absence and Anthony's matchup disadvantage of not gaining weight.
Thousands of words condensed into one sentence: Lin Ying, we miss you!
Three days later, Lin Ying appeared on the list even though his back injury had not yet recovered.
This wave is called Denver’s version of “Return of the King.”
The Nuggets' morale was greatly boosted, and they performed extremely high-quality performances on both ends of the offense and defense. The Nuggets narrowly defended the last home game of the series.
Both sides will usher in a tiebreaker!
Lin Ying scored a near-triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists despite being injured.
After the game, fans' evaluations of Lin Ying and Anthony were severely polarized on social media.
"It turns out that only Lin can lead the Nuggets to defeat the Lakers!"
"Melo really can't fight tough battles. I'm tired of seeing him pull out the ball!"
"It is said that Melo has rich offensive skills, why do I always see only three axes? He can't adapt at all, and he is far behind Lin!"
"Is the touch of the strongest Naa champion in history fake?" A comment from "Lin Ying Fan".
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this. Lin always plays the game in the correct way, and he has contributed a buzzer beater in the playoffs for two consecutive years!"
"Especially this year's buzzer beater, I saw that he chose to fight by himself at the last moment. Not only is his technique, but also his psychology has grown a lot compared to last year!"
"It's time to ascend the throne, Denver's King Lin!" A comment from "Lin Ying Fans".
"+1!"
"+2!"
"+10086!"
…
In a villa in Denver, Anthony dropped an iPhone 3.
…
Denver fans are eagerly looking forward to the tiebreaker.
To be able to push the Lakers, who had swept their opponents in the previous two rounds, to this point, the Nuggets are already full of expectations.
But this game was very... mysterious.
The reason why he is said to be mysterious is because Lin Ying's number of shots in the game dropped significantly compared to G6.
Anthony seems to have been trying to prove that he can, but the fact is... he can't.
Especially when the Lakers made sure that he couldn't pass the ball. Even when he had a good touch, he was severely restricted by double teams.
The results can be imagined.
Originally, the Nuggets were not as strong as the Lakers, and if they continued to struggle like this, the result would only be a big defeat.
During the garbage time of the last quarter, Lin Ying was sitting on the bench while Yang Shuyu massaged his back.
After fighting continuously with injuries, his injuries tended to get worse, and he had to rest for a while before training in the offseason.
But compared to the pain on his back, the reluctance in his heart made him more uncomfortable.
They had a chance!
Billups was sitting next to the shadow of the forest.
He was not reconciled either.
But when he turned to look at Lin Ying, he didn't know what to say.
Generally speaking, if he regrets losing in the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals, he should say something to encourage him.
But when the words came to his lips, he found that nothing was appropriate.
He even felt that this team would definitely experience a big wave of turmoil in the summer.
The final whistle sounded and the two teams held a final handshake.
When Kobe and Lin Ying shook hands, they gave him a tight hug. After the hug, he cared about Lin Ying's injury for a while.
And in the end, he even comforted Lin Ying for a while:
"You are only in second grade."
Lin Ying nodded and said nothing.
He will be in third grade soon!
At the post-game press conference, Lin Ying, Billups and O'Connor attended together.
Anthony went back directly after the game.
Fans asked a lot of questions at the press conference.
Regret, regret is the main theme.
"You almost beat the Lakers. Are you going to come back next year?"
The reporter asked Lin Ying a question.
"No, we are very different."
Lin Ying's answer immediately made the people below agitated.
He was not in the mood to deal with reporters at this time, so he told the truth.
Big scores sometimes give people the illusion that you can do it.
For example, in history, the Rockets and Lakers reached the tiebreaker without Yao Ming, but watching that series directly gave people this feeling:
The Lakers played slowly and leisurely, the Rockets tried their best to win a few games, and then as soon as the Lakers started to work hard, the game was over.
Even at the time, fans felt that the Lakers were just trying to sell more tickets.
It's right to think about it. The Tianwangshan Lakers can win by 40 points in a tiebreaker game, and the tiebreaker ends the suspense at halftime. It's hard to think about it.
Although the series between the Nuggets and Lakers is not of this type, there are similarities.
Because the Nuggets lost three out of seven games.
This is the same as the previous analogy of Jindan Yuanying, there is a gap in strength.
Coupled with the fact that Anthony is a runaway horse, he is lucky to be able to win.
“Are you going to make a comeback next year?”
The reporter asked again.
Lin Ying said nothing.
This is not acquiescence, but his answer cannot be given here.
To be continued...
