Rivers was dumbfounded.

In high-intensity games, it is rare for role players to break out.

This can be seen from the past two games of the Nets.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Nets' bench depth this season is the best in the league, but after two games, Billups only performed better in one.

But now, Yi Jianlian has stepped forward!

This may be the most inconspicuous one on the Nets, but it gives Rivers the biggest problem!

Because in Sloan's tactical system, Yi Jianlian is the person responsible for pick-and-roll and then shooting.

But this is the biggest threat if you can make a single shot!

It's like a sword hanging over the Knicks' head.

Bosh made another jumper in the frontcourt.

Looking back, Lin Ying came out again without the ball, and the Knicks didn't dare to attack easily!

Because Yi Jianlian didn't just stand there waiting to catch the ball, but started to move and cooperate with Butler.

This small coordination contained the Knicks' defense, and Lin Ying changed directions and broke through along the baseline to near the three-second zone.

After seeing this, Martin struggled to save the interference.

Lin Ying turned around to avoid it, picked up the basket lightly and sent the ball into the basket.

Not even halfway through the first quarter, Lin Ying has already scored 10 points!

And the key is, he hit all five of his opening shots without even taking a free throw!

"I have to admit that the Knicks did their best, but it turns out that Lin is now in an unstoppable state."

Miller sighed in the commentary box.

While they were talking, the Knicks missed a wave of offense and quickly retreated to their position.

This time, Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian played a two-man game in the frontcourt. Lin Ying broke through to the hinterland and was flanked. He chose to return the ball to Yi Jianlian.

Because Lin Ying has the ability to break through the flanking attack, the Knicks did not dare to attack incompletely, and Yi Jianlian once again got the opportunity to take action.

Then, Yi Jianlian's third shot... also scored!

Three consecutive three-pointers!

Lin Yi is online!

Xiao Linyi: So this is where my name comes from?!

Guda: Eastern Emperor and Western Emperor, you all don’t understand, I am in the atmosphere!

This time, the Knicks completely gave up the idea of ​​flanking Lin Ying!

…

After the first quarter, the Nets led the Knicks by 13 points, 45-32.

This quarter was a dream quarter for both Lin Ying and the Nets.

Their shooting percentage exceeded 60%. Among them, Lin Ying made 10 of 14 shots in a single quarter, scoring the playoffs and a career-high 25 points in a single quarter.

In addition, Yi Jianlian also scored 11 points in a single quarter, including three consecutive three-pointers.

The outbreak of role players is accidental, but just in the game where it is needed most, Yi Jianlian broke out!

When Yi Jianlian was substituted, he received an excited welcome from his teammates.

This is the most glorious game of Yi Jianlian's career so far.

"They can't always maintain that state. They started chasing points in the second quarter and we tied the score before halftime. This is your home court. Release the beast in you and defend your home court!"

On the Knicks' bench, Rivers guzzled chicken soup to his players.

They were pushed to the ground and rubbed for a while by the remnants of the Nets. They were really embarrassed and sent to their grandma's house.

"Up! Up! Up!"

Before taking the field in the second quarter, Rivers shouted to his players one last time.

When all the players came on the field, he sat back on the bench, couldn't help but move his buttocks, and finally focused on the court.

Lin Ying was in great shape tonight, but he couldn't stay on the court forever.

Now is their best chance to chase points.

In the second quarter, the lineups of both sides came up.

Knicks:

Nets: Iverson, Butler, Kirilenko, Battier, Brand;

Knicks: Fisher, Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Landry, Bosh.

Bosh hit Brand in the low post and hit a fadeaway jumper.

Although by this season, Bosh has transformed into a kite man as he has in history, but he is still confident of defeating the aging Brand in the low post.

Seeing this, Rivers secretly clenched his fists, then stood up and shouted to indicate the defensive position.

This is a good start. As long as we can prevent the Nets' offense, we will be close to narrowing the point difference.

The Nets' lineup has limited offensive capabilities, and they should defend it.

This is indeed the case. After playing two tactics in a row, the Nets didn't have any chance.

The ball finally returned to Butler's hands, and Butler missed Allen's layup.

The Knicks went on a fast break, and Cole scored on a fast break layup.

45 to 36!

In the blink of an eye, the Knicks have narrowed the point difference to single digits!

The moment the ball went in, Rivers waved his fist excitedly.

Knicks fans also cheered loudly at the scene, and many fans stood up and shouted excitedly.

Lin Ying is very strong? So what!

Yi Jianlian feels good? So what!

Basketball games are about the overall strength of the team, not individuals.

In just a few minutes, the Knicks will catch up with the score difference in one go!

"Defend! Defend!"

Driven by the on-site DJ, fans cheered overwhelmingly.

The Nets' offense still hasn't improved.

Butler gave the ball to Iverson this time, and everyone else pulled away one after another.

In front of Iverson is his "old fish" Fisher.

Lao Yu is really old now. He didn't play in the last game due to injury.

Of course, the same goes for Iverson. He is no longer the "answer" who could use opponents as a wooden stake. It was only after Deron was suspended that he got the chance to play.

What was familiar was that Fisher saw Iverson habitually lifting his trousers.

It was at this moment that a sleeping gene in Iverson suddenly woke up.

At the moment Fisher mentioned, he initiated the breakthrough.

"Whoosh!"

Fisher felt a gust of wind blowing in front of his eyes.

Even though many years have passed, you are still the familiar wooden pile!

In the eyes of the fans, Iverson passed Fisher in one step and made a pull-up jump shot before the defense came up.

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound.

Iverson's jump shot hits!

A familiar scene, as if nothing has changed.

On the Nets bench, Billups shook off the towel and was the first to get up.

Lin Ying also reached out and applauded.

Iverson didn't have many opportunities with the team this season, but he maintained a good mentality and performed very professionally.

Don't underestimate this. Without the bomb attribute in the locker room, Iverson can still exert energy sometimes even when he is old.

Like, right now.

Bosh missed Brand again, Landry grabbed the offensive rebound, and then Battier made an offensive foul.
