During the slow-motion replay of the scene, there was a small detail on the scene.
When Deron dunked, the scene of Paul slapping his thigh in annoyance behind him became the best background for this ball.
And this dunk made Deron excited.
The Lakers were attacking in the frontcourt, and Gasol was holding the ball in the high post to support him. When he was looking for someone, Deron suddenly pounced on him and took the ball away from him!
After picking up the ball, Deron turned around and advanced. By the time the rest of the Lakers reacted, Deron had already reached the frontcourt and scored a layup.
6 flat!
The Nets tied the score!
And these 6 points all came from Deron!
Live footage was given to Paul.
Paul's expression also looked a little confused at this time.
Deron's psychological problems are not unique. NBA players have many psychological problems that have been ignored due to high pressure all year round.
Paul and Deron are often compared by the media, and then they are suppressed and beaten all the time. If you say that you haven't been psychologically affected, no one will believe it!
Like Deron, if he wants to advance to the next level, Paul himself must overcome the psychological barrier.
At this time, Kobe also went up to exchange a few words with Paul.
After the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, Paul began to play a pick-and-roll with Gasol.
After breaking it open, Paul started with a mid-range shot.
Yi Jianlian changed defense very quickly on this ball and blocked the shot with all his strength.
But the parabola of Paul's shot was extremely high, and the ball flew past his fingertips toward the basket.
"Whoa!"
Paul's mid-range hit!
In the early days of his career, Paul was still a player who only knew how to use breakthroughs to tear apart defenses, so he basically had no tricks when facing Deron.
But after a serious injury, he was forced to change his style of play and develop mid-range shooting skills.
So when facing Deron again, he is not completely powerless to fight back!
And after Paul made the shot, Kobe took the initiative to go over and give him a high-five while retreating.
Obviously, Paul's decisive attack on the ball just now was indispensable without Kobe's encouragement.
So things suddenly became interesting.
When Delong was confused, Lin Ying helped him regain his composure.
When Paul was confused, Kobe encouraged him to regain his confidence!
Then when Deron controlled the ball in the frontcourt again, his defender changed from Paul to Kobe!
Similar things always happen in different places!
Deron tried to shuffle to change direction, but Kobe's better size and more defensive experience meant his attempt was unsuccessful.
It was at this time that Lin Ying reached out for the ball on the weak side!
There is only one Kobe Bryant, and if you have to guard Deron, you can't take care of Lin Ying at the same time.
Deron quickly passed the ball over.
Lin Ying received the ball and faced Ariza. After three threats, he accelerated to the inside and broke through.
Ariza's defensive characteristics are somewhat similar to Kirilenko's. He is tall, long and has quick hands, but is weak in confrontation.
Lin Ying seized this point and used his first step to seize the offensive position, then broke through to the basket and knocked Ariza away during a confrontation, and then flew to the basket to score.
Ariza looked helpless when he was knocked away.
The last person who made him feel so helpless was LeBron James.
Lin Ying is even bigger than James! But his breakthrough speed is not inferior!
Looking back, Paul showed confidence and directly faced Deron's step-back mid-range jumper.
Paul's move on this ball was very beautiful, but when he saw Deron rushing towards him, he couldn't help but shake his hands.
"Dang!"
Paul's shot missed.
Psychological shadow is not so easy to overcome!
Chandler grabbed a defensive rebound and the Nets now have a chance to overtake the score.
After the Nets advanced to the frontcourt, Deron saw that Kobe was still guarding him and handed the ball to Lin Ying.
This time Chandler took the initiative to pull out for Lin Ying to pick and roll, and Lin Ying used the pick and roll to make a jump-stop mid-range shot.
"Whoa!"
The basketball is hollow and falls into the bag, enjoying the silky smoothness!
8 to 10!
The Nets took the lead!
After being beaten 6-0 at the beginning, they immediately fought back with a 10-2!
This goal was scored, and the fans cheered immediately.
Some fans couldn't help but stand up and pump their fists excitedly.
Their excitement is completely understandable.
In the previous games, apart from playing against the Cavaliers, Deron and Lin Ying had never played together.
Including Deron's heroic performance in the last game, Lin Ying made more contributions on the defensive end.
But tonight, the two fired together on the offensive end!
This is a more exciting signal than just a victory!
At the critical moment, it was Kobe Bryant who stood out for the Lakers.
He and Gasol cooperated tacitly, and he hit a pull-up jumper after running without the ball and passing the ball.
The two sides tied again!
The competition was very fierce!
And after the Lakers retreated to halftime, amidst Kobe's shouts, the Lakers obviously increased their defensive intensity, and there was a lot of confrontation without the ball.
But there was a detail at this time: Kobe no longer guarded Deron.
This is also reasonable. The game is only in the first quarter, and Kobe always has to choose a focus for offense and defense.
After Lin Ying saw it, he directly went up to play a pick-and-roll for Deron. He broke it and flicked out.
Deron also quickly distributed the ball.
Lin Ying caught the ball and met Paul for a three-pointer.
Paul missed the ball when he tried to cut it, and before he could control his body, he directly hit Lin Ying.
What's embarrassing is that Lin Ying's core strength is sufficient, so the collision didn't cause any damage...
"beep!"
"Whoa!"
The referee's whistle blew, and Lin Ying made a three-pointer, which also caused a foul on Paul!
3+1!
The fans at the scene were even more excited.
This time, not only are the two of them firing on all cylinders, but they are also starting to cooperate!
Delong took the initiative to come over and give Lin Ying a high-five, and the two began to have a chemical reaction!
Lin Ying's extra penalty hit.
10 to 14!
The Nets continue to lead!
Looking back, Paul showed his characteristics and made a beautiful behind-the-back pass to Ariza in the bottom corner after the pick-and-roll.
Ariza seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer.
13 to 14!
The situation continues to be deadlocked!
Lin Ying and Delong repeated their old tricks, but this time Paul changed defense faster.
Lin Ying saw the last fake shot and broke through directly. After attracting the defense, he threw the ball back to Deron, who had already bounced to the three-point line.
Reciprocate favors and reciprocate courtesy.
Lin Ying's breakthrough contained the defense, and when Deron received the ball, it was a big open opportunity.
He was also very decisive in his actions.
"Whoa!"
Deron's three-pointer also hit!
13 to 17!
And these 17 points for the Nets only came from Deron and Lin Ying!
Delong scored 9 points and Lin Ying scored 8 points!
New Jersey Duo!
Kobe wanted to retaliate from the outside, but his shot was interfered by Lin Ying and failed to hit.
The ball was a long rebound, and Deron grabbed it near the free throw line, then turned around and threw it to Lin Ying, who was fast coming down from the outside.
Lin Ying ran all the way with the ball, reached the frontcourt, jumped up, pulled the ball down, and performed a windmill dunk!
"Bang!"
The moment the ball was smashed into the basket, the entire Prudential Center went into a boil.
The Lakers were forced to call a timeout!
The camera was shown to the front row of the audience, and Swift had already stood up and started doing the familiar mechanical dance!
It's a pity that I didn't get popcorn this time!
Iverson on the side also stood up and clapped and cheered, with hope in his eyes.
Watching his good brother perform on the court, the basketball heart in him was ready to move.
At this time, on social media, the number of Nets fans who have surged due to Lin Ying joining has also entered the carnival.
They even discussed a very interesting topic at this time.
A suggestion made by "Lin Ying's No. 2 Fan" that "it's time to give the pair of Lin Ying and Delong a nickname" received many responses from fans.
The nickname "YD" issued by a fan named "shu" was recognized by many fans.
And a fan named "Ling Yue" called "king fat" also received support from some fans.
But in the end, the name given by a user named "Tohsaka日n" completed the killing.
"Lingard."
Obviously, this was given to me by a Chinese fan.
To explain, it’s Lin Ying Gadelon.
Simple, easy to understand, and perfect!
Just as the discussion among fans was heated online, the game between the Nets and the Lakers was also extremely intense.
Since the continuous pursuit of points in the opening game, the point difference between the two sides has not exceeded 5 points!
This situation obviously excites Nets fans.
You must know that this is the Lakers formed by Paul and Kobe, the second team in the Western Conference!
The Lingard combination has endless possibilities!
And if we analyze it in depth, there is a reason why the Nets are evenly matched with the Lakers.
The Lakers are strong, especially the backcourt combination of Kobe and Paul.
After Deron found his form on the Nets' side, Lingard's combination strength was not much worse.
In particular, Deron's restraint on Paul can even be considered a slight advantage.
Coupled with the fact that the entire team's defense is online, even if the Lakers add Gasol, they will always be evenly matched.
As for the substitutes, or rotation, the Nets' bench lacks someone who can hold the ball stably, but the Lakers' side isn't much better!
McRoberts was given high hopes. Although he was called "Mike Rambis" by Lakers fans because of his tough play, due to injuries and talent issues, he did not achieve the "replacement" for Odom that the management wanted.
effect.
In fact, that is unrealistic. Although Odom has a problem with his mind wandering, he is still at the level of the best sixth man.
Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are almost the same, and it is reasonable to be anxious about the game.
But when the game entered the final five minutes, Kobe began to take over the game.
First, he made a completely unreasonable turn and hit a shot. Then, he completely stole Deron's one-on-one fast break layup. The last three-pointer after shaking almost killed the game.
107 to 101.
With 35 seconds left in the game, the Lakers lead the Nets by 6 points!
The victory has been decided.
Johnson was already saying some morale-boosting words, "It's an honor to lose even if we finish the last 35 seconds."
Delong's eyes were somewhat unwilling, but he seemed helpless.
Lin Ying looked up at this time and looked at the time.
35 seconds, a familiar time, it is difficult not to think of Tracy McGrady's "miracle" of 13 points.
But it is almost impossible to replicate the miracle, not to mention the Lakers and Kobe.
However, Lin Ying still held on to the hope of winning.
Because they did it in Phoenix before when they were 15 points behind.
Just like his half-teacher Billups, the so-called leadership ability is the experience accumulated through continuous attempts.
The timeout is up.
Lin Ying held Delong and talked for a while before going on the field.
When he knew that Lin Ying was serious and wanted to win, his eyes were full of disbelief.
35 seconds, even if they can make a three-pointer, the Lakers' game will be over after 24 seconds.
"We still have 35 seconds."
Lin Ying said lightly.
This is not a famous aphorism, nor is it thick chicken soup, but it made Delong inexplicably restless.
This is like a half-glass of water in a bottle, "there is still half a glass of water" and "there is only half a glass of water left", the same statement, but the mentality is two extremes.
They still have 35 seconds!
"beep!"
Come back from the timeout and the game continues!
The fans at the scene also looked nervously at the field.
Although the Nets' chances are now very slim, they all have the same hope as Lin Ying.
Because if we can win this game, it will greatly improve the morale of the Nets.
The Nets' record so far is 6 wins and 3 losses. The record seems not bad, but it is more of a benefit from the schedule.
Among the opponents they won, only the Suns were a stable playoff team.
When they met slightly stronger opponents, the Grizzlies, Thunder, and Bulls all lost, and the Bulls were defeated in just three quarters.
What does this mean? It means that they are a team that "bullies the weak and fears the strong" and cannot fight a tough battle!
So they will be eager for such a victory.
The ball came out from the frontcourt, and Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian played a pick-and-roll.
Yi Jianlian broke open and bounced outside, and he received Deron's pass and cut into the basket.
The Lakers' defensive focus this round is on the outside. Because of this point difference and time, preventing the Nets' three-pointer basically counts as winning the game.
Lin Ying rushed to the basket without encountering any obstacles.
It was at this time that Jason Smith under the basket made a mistake and went too far with his defense.
Lin Ying took the initiative to find a confrontation!
Big men are not as flexible as outside players, so it was too late for Smith to raise his hands to hide.
"beep!"
The referee's whistle blows.
Lin Ying used his excellent confrontation ability to stabilize his body and still completed the shot after the confrontation!
"Bang!"
The ball bounced back toward the basket after hitting the board, spinning around on it and then falling into the net bag!
2+1!
It's not a three-pointer, it's a three-pointer!
The fans burst into cheers at the scene.
This 2+1 is so crucial!
Delong also roared excitedly.
He could now better understand the meaning of Lin Ying's words.
Until the end of the game, hope is always there!
But at this moment, not many people know that in Nowitzki's private villa in faraway Dallas, Texas, Nowitzki and his "career best inside partner" Yao Ming are also watching this game.
As the main competitor in the Western Conference this season, they are also extremely concerned about the performance of the Lakers.
Especially Yao Ming, he was extremely emotionally involved at this time.
After all, with this familiar score difference and this familiar time, it's a bit difficult for him not to be involved.
Chapter completed!
