Nash's desire to compete does seem to be higher than last year, but his body can also be seen to have declined a lot, and his offensive threat is also weakening.

No matter how good the Suns' team doctors are, Nash is about to turn 38, and even Jordan's body has already deteriorated at this time.

About 10 minutes into the first quarter, the Nets led the Suns by 8 points, 28-20.

Lin Ying scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.

At this time, both sides enter the rotation stage.

Johnson took Lin Ying off the court to rest, and the lineups on both sides were:

Suns: Barbosa, Hill, Tobias Harris, Frye, Robin Lopez

Nets: Farmar, Marshon Brooks, Battier, Humphries, Petro

However, in just two minutes, the Nets were chased down by 6 points.

The Nets' lineup has a fatal weakness. There is no scoring point on the court that can hold the ball stably.

The Suns have Barbosa, and Hill can do it too.

But for the Nets, Farmar, the only one, needs to rely more on pick-and-rolls to launch offense due to his physical condition.

This is why Johnson used Brooks instead of Bogans. He needed Brooks' singles scoring ability.

Last season Brooks still showed good talent and immediate ability.

But judging from his on-court performance, Brooks clearly squandered his money during the lockout summer.

After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 28 to 26, and the Nets ended the first quarter with a 2-point lead.

Then at the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Ying came on!

This is also a helpless move. Deron is not in good condition today, and the Nets' current lineup configuration can only allow Lin Ying to play more.

In Lin Ying's first defensive round, he directly gave Harris a block.

The offense is enriched, but the defense is still there!

Integrates offense and defense, almighty and resistant to fuck!

The foundation is not laid in vain.

When it came to the offensive end, Lin Ying passed Harris in one step and rushed in with a one-handed chop!

"Bang!"

The huge muffled sound made Harris' ears ring.

Harris: Is this the NBA?

Lin Ying, who has reached the peak of his career, VS a rookie who has just entered the NBA. This is the three-body encounter with the earth, and dimensionality reduction is a blow!

Seeing Harris who was already doubting his life, Gentry turned around and called Wallace up again.

If there was no substitution, Harris would be beaten and lose his confidence.

Barbosa made a three-pointer from the outside.

30 to 29.

The Suns' bench depth is indeed much better than that of the Nets.

Lin Ying held the ball in the frontcourt and made a breakthrough without passing Wallace.

Wallace's defense at this time was particularly focused, and he used all his efforts to press the bottom of the box.

If it were Lin Ying before, this would have been called a pick-and-roll or playing without the ball, but now his choice is to take a look at the defensive positions of other Suns players, and then directly start to change direction.

A large pull to the right, an obvious pause and then a change of direction to the left, and at the same time, the footsteps formed a dragging motion on the ground.

Appeared, the drag step changed direction!

Compared to Iverson's hesitant step, the shuffle step has a higher center of gravity and is accompanied by more steps.

But the same as the hesitation step, it is a change of rhythm.

Wallace's center of gravity was swayed like leaves rising and falling in the wind in autumn.

"Crack!"

At the last moment when he changed direction to the left, Lin Ying burst out in an instant and directly passed Wallace and went straight to the basket.

Lopez quickly came to help defend, Lin Ying jumped up and pulled a lever in the air to avoid the defense and score.

Light, silky, basketball aesthetic!

Fans at the scene said they were stunned.

Is this the small forward version of Deron Williams?

No, Deron doesn't have this finishing ability!

Deron also had a shocked expression off the court at this time.

Lin Ying never used this trick during the training camp!

The most confused person was Savior in the stands.

At that moment just now, he actually had a flash of regret!

If Lin Ying was still with the Suns...

Suddenly cheers erupted from the scene.

Phoenix fans came to their senses and defender Lin Ying cheered!

Although Lin Ying is no longer a member of the Suns, they are proud of Lin Ying's progress.

Listening to the familiar cheers around him, Lin Ying was momentarily confused that he was still on the Suns team.

And he unconsciously thought of Iverson's retirement.

Mixed with emotions, he finally reached his hands behind his ears.

There.should.be.applause!

Listen!

This action, combined with the scoring method just now, plus his new furrow hairstyle.

Many fans at the scene had their nerves touched.

They may not be fans of Iverson, but Iverson's move is so classic that they can't possibly not know it.

Especially when a legend comes to an end.

So they responded to Lin Ying's move and gave Lin Ying even louder cheers and applause!

Fans who were originally restrained because Lin Ying was no longer a Suns player also began to cheer in a ventive manner.

Even if they cursed Salvo ten thousand times in their hearts, they could not change the fact, and even Salvo would not lose even a hair because of it.

But at this moment, their cheers for Lin Ying are the best expression of their dissatisfaction with the team's trade of Lin Ying.

Regardless of whether Lin Ying is a member of the Suns or not, they will all cheer for Lin Ying!

"This is……"

Albert in the commentary box was stunned.

In all the years he has been commentating, he has never seen any fans be so crazy for the visiting team's players.

The NBA is a business place. No matter how great your contribution to this city is, if the fans are willing to cheer you when you come back, it is the greatest recognition of your past contributions.

But Lin Ying was a bit exaggerated.

However, the more exaggerated thing is yet to come.

Perhaps the cheers once were not enough. In subsequent games, Lin Ying would win cheers from the fans every time he scored a goal!

Albert has really been around for a long time now.

"Marv, the fans are a very warm-hearted group."

At this moment, Cole looked at the scene in front of him and said in an expressive tone.

Albert looked at him doubtfully, not knowing what he meant by this.

"They may not be able to change too many things, but they will give you the most authentic feedback. Whether you did something right or wrong, they will give you direct feedback."

Cole continued.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Lin Yingying broke through Wallace's defense and slammed the ball into the basket with Lopez's hands.

By this time, the fans at the American Airlines Center were going crazy, and a large number of fans stood up.

Including those around Savor, fans stood up and cheered crazily for Lin Ying.

Savor looked left and right, wanting to tell those people to sit down, but found that these were fans, not their employees.

On the contrary, his move made the surrounding fans cheer even louder!
Chapter completed!
