Chapter 200 The defense teams meet!
Lin Yu held the ball and organized the offense while responding.
"KG! You talk a lot of nonsense, but you're going to stop spewing it soon!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he prepared to attack.
Dayingte looked at Lin Yu and his expression became serious.
If we say that the most dazzling player in the regular season last season was Harden.
Then the most dazzling player this season is Lin Yu!
The youngest player to score 50 or 60 points, scoring 34 points in a single quarter
And his team's performance is also the best in the league.
How could Big Harden dare to underestimate such a player?
Lin Yu looked at Dayingte and started dribbling the ball.
Mark Blunt continued to protect the basket in the low post, and Szczerbiak blocked Okur from catching the ball.
Although the madman is old, he is not knowledgeable to everyone, so he is entangled with Pierce.
Lin Yu’s best choice now is naturally to pass the ball directly to Battier.
Although Chucky Atkins is a qualified blue-collar point guard, his height is his biggest disadvantage.
With a height of only 1 meters, it must be difficult for him to defend the 8-meter-tall Battier.
but……
Lin Yu prefers singles hard play!
Sometimes superstars should play superstar ball!
Facing Dayingte's defense, Lin Yu made a drastic change of direction and broke through from Dayingte's right.
Dayingte didn't hesitate at all and moved directly in front of Lin Yu.
Lin Yu then made another drastic change of direction and broke through Garnett's left.
"Here it comes! Dayu's signature continuous large-scale changes of direction. Relying on this move, Dayu has passed countless defenders in the league!" Coach Zhang started to whistle.
But Da Yingte is Da Yingte after all!
Dayingte once again used his speed to keep up with Lin Yu's change of direction and continued to block Lin Yu's breakthrough.
not good!
Dayingte just blocked Lin Yu's breakthrough.
The next moment, Dayingte saw Lin Yu.
Sudden stop, bend knees, jump, press wrist, and shoot.
He wanted to block Lin Yu's attack, but it was too late.
NBA players shoot extremely quickly.
In the future, Curry will be able to complete a shot in 0.3 seconds.
Although Harden was only 1 second slower on the defensive end, it was just this second.
Lin Yu had already stopped suddenly and completed the shot. Da Yingte jumped up and tried to interfere with Lin Yu, but it was too late.
Swish!
The basketball went into the net, and instantly North Shore Garden was filled with cheers!
Along with the cheers, the Boston fans’ curses also rang out!
"Go back to Minnesota you piece of shit!"
"Now he belongs to Lin Yu and the Celtics! He will never belong to the Timberwolves!"
"Send those Timberwolves trash home!"
"..."
When Coach Zhang saw Lin Yu score the goal, he started blowing the whistle.
"What is a superstar? There is no way a superstar can be locked up!"
"So what if Garnett? He still can't defend against Dayu!"
on the field.
Lin Yu, who landed on the ground, started talking trash to Dayingte.
"KG, it looks like you're not strong enough to beat the Celtics."
"No, my wording is not very accurate. I should say it's far off!"
"There is no team in the NBA that cannot afford to lose. Even Michael Jordan lost 10 games in the regular season. Who do you think you are?"
Da Yingte was also very rude.
While the two sides were exchanging insults, the Timberwolves had already started to attack.
Chucky Atkins held the ball at the top of the arc, and Szczerbiak immediately started to run without the ball. Pierce did not give Szczerbiak a chance to run open this time. Even with the help of Garnett's screen, Battier quickly switched defense and did not give Szczerbiak a chance to run open.
Atkins hesitated for a moment, and then set a pick-and-roll with Garnett. With the help of Garnett's pick-and-roll, he broke through with the ball.
As soon as Chucky Atkins broke through Dio's defense and entered the inside, Lin Yu's help defense arrived.
In the low post, Atkins was directly double-teamed by Lin Yu and Okur.
Snapped!
As expected, Atkins' layup was blocked by Lin Yu!
"What do you mean by a superstar? Dayu directly dominated both offense and defense!"
"The Timberwolves started to attack, Garnett held the ball in the high post, faced Dio's defense, and made a big jump shot!"
"After Dayu broke through, he was double-teamed by the Timberwolves. He chose to pass the ball, and Okur received the ball in the bottom corner and made a three-pointer!"
"Szczerbiak took a three-pointer from the wing, Battier's interference was very effective, and Szczerbiak missed the three-pointer!"
"..."
As Coach Zhang's voice continued to ring out, the Timberwolves gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The Timberwolves' defensive system is very similar to that of the Celtics to some extent.
There is a rim-protecting center in the low post.
The outside defense does not give the opponent a chance to shoot three-pointers, forcing the opponent to break through.
After breaking through to the mid-range, the defensive monster Lin Yu (Dayingte) will assist in the double-team.
But a new problem arises when the two teams' defensive strengths meet.
After the two sides competed in defense, it was easy for both sides to fall into a situation where both sides kept missing shots...
At this time, the easiest way to solve the problem is for the star to play one-on-one.
This is the Timberwolves' biggest weakness.
As a superstar, what has always been criticized about Harden's offensive ability throughout his career.
It is very easy for Big Hard to score 20 points efficiently.
But asking Harden to score 40 points to save the team is a bit difficult for Harden!
This is also why, during the Celtics' Big Three era, Pierce was often asked to shoot key shots.
Facing the Timberwolves' defense, Lin Yu and Pierce started the star one-on-one mode.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for Big Harden to assist in defense, and both Lin Yu and Pierce can launch attacks from outside the three-point line.
Although Harden is very powerful, it is not easy for him to assist in defense from outside the three-point line.
And once Big Harden comes to help defend, Lin Yu and Pierce may choose to pass the ball.
bump!
Lin Yu used the same breakthrough as James and directly knocked Szczerbiak away from him.
pain!
With a pain in his chest, Szczerbiak involuntarily stepped back.
Although Szczerbiak's lateral movement speed is indeed a bit slow, his defense is generally on point.
However, when Lin Yu obtained Marshal Zhang's power talent, Szerbiak had no chance of resisting Lin Yu.
After breaking through Szczerbiak, Lin Yu made an emergency stop and shot directly from mid-range.
Swish!
The basketball goes hollow into the net.
When Timberwolves head coach Saunders saw this scene on the sidelines, his brows couldn't help but frown.
The Timberwolves have had poor offensive capabilities for a long time. This problem has changed after the Alien and Madman joined last season.
This season, with the aging of the madman and the injury of the alien, the offensive ability began to deteriorate again.
At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics led the Timberwolves by 25 points, 21:4.
Sanders chose to replace the madman and let Ricky Davis play.
When talking about Ricky Davis, most fans' impression of him is "Choose James to assist me."
As the only boss in James' career, Ricky Davis has never been selected to the All-Star team in his career.
But during his peak period, he averaged 20+5+5 per game.
He can barely be considered a quasi-All-Star player.
However, Ricky Davis' strength is limited to this, so the Celtics replaced him with Tony, letting Kurt Thomas play at the four position and Lin Yu play at the three position.
Ricky Davis began his journey of ironing.
