Fans were very excited on social media after the game.
"Twelve years Aimi, I have no regrets in this life!"
"Sixteen-year-old Amy said, this is like a dream!"
"To be honest, I was really wet when I took that step. I am a female football fan.jpg."
"Thanks, Sheshe."
"Lin will help you realize your youthful dreams! First there was Nash and then there was AI. Who is the next dream chaser?"
"Kevin Durant." Comment from "Lin Ying Fan Reset No. 1".
"Durant is really miserable. If his partner had been Lin Ying instead of Westbrook, who knows how many championships he would have won!"
"Durant is not LeBron, he will not choose to join a super team." Comment from "Lin Ying Fan Reset Edition No. 1".
"Speaking of which, as a T-Ma fan, I have something to say. He didn't win the championship that year with the Suns!"
"T-Ma is really too bad. The Suns, Lakers, Knicks, where is he? Whoever is the favorite to win the championship has no championship."
"Let's see where T-Ma goes next season, so that when making predictions for next season... we can eliminate a wrong answer first."
"I think the CBA is more suitable for him next season. I'm talking about the CBA where J.R. Smith went."
"First defeat the future No. 1 player in the league, and then defeat the current No. 1 player. If the Nets can finally win the championship, Lin will become a god this season."
"What kind of god is this? Even if I, Lin, win the championship, I'm just lucky enough to pick one up! Not to mention this is G1!"
"That's right, if the AI ​​hadn't exploded, I wouldn't have been able to win through the net, but is it possible for the AI ​​to explode in every game? It's obviously impossible! So..."
"Lakers championship!"
"You are all right, but I think the Nets have a great chance. Even if Lin and Kobe win, Deron will naturally suppress Paul."
"Paul is so disappointing. I originally thought he had evolved, but he was still so suppressed by Deron."
"That's not what I said. Howard is great enough, but he doesn't act like a younger brother every time he meets Yao? This is called Tianke."
"If you give birth to Paul, why give birth to Delong?"
…
Madison Square Garden, training facility.
"Bang! Bang!"
The basketball frequently hit the floor and made a muffled sound, which was particularly clear after dark.
The night after the G1 game, Paul, Kobe, and Bosh were training here.
The Knicks have been eliminated. James and Wade have a lot of off-court matters to be busy with and have already begun their busy schedule in the offseason.
Bosh was so sad that he threw himself into the training facility after the season.
As for Paul and Kobe, since the Barclays Center can only train during a certain period of time during the day, they made a request to the Madison Arena and also practiced here.
After the training, the three of them sat on the sidelines wiping sweat and chatting.
There is some connection between players, especially famous stars.
The relationship between Bosh and Kobe is not as close as that of James Wade, but at least they played in the Olympics together in BJ.
And now they have something in common.
"To defeat them, we must not only take the lead in the series, but also not let them open the score in the game."
No, Bosh was sharing some experiences of playing against the Nets with Kobe and the others.
Kobe nodded thoughtfully.
He thought of the Utah team coached by Sloan.
His career intersected more with that team, and he even served as a player with Malone for a period of time.
If you think about it carefully, stability is indeed the greatest feature of Sloan's coaching.
Now Lin Ying's existence has added another layer of insurance to Sloan's stability.
So once the Nets take the lead, it will be very difficult to turn the score back.
If you think about it, the Nets have only had one big comeback by the Spurs this season.
"So we have to use offense to defeat them, a stronger offense than theirs."
Paul on the side thought for a while and then said.
A stable attack means that it is difficult to defend, so you can only attack with attack.
Although the Nets' defense is also very strong, there is an upper limit to defense.
Bosh nodded. They were discussing. After all, he was also a defeated player and all he could share was his experience.
After the chat was over, Bosh went back to rest.
Kobe asked Paul to go back first and prepare to practice some more.
However, I don’t know if the previous exchange made Paul feel something, and he is also planning to stay and continue to practice more.
Kobe nodded and said nothing.
When it comes to his desire for a championship, Paul is no weaker than him.
He is chasing his fifth championship, while Paul is working hard to win the first one.
Although Paul is still young, he is already in the seventh season of his career.
…
After two days of rest, G2 of the finals continued in Brooklyn.
Like G1, the passion of Brooklyn fans remains the same.
The fight between the two sides was as intense as in G1.
The only difference is that Iverson did not perform as brilliantly as in G1.
This is also expected.
After all, Iverson is 38 years old, and the Lakers' head coach is Phil Jackson.
"Zen Master" also gave Iverson enough face, letting Paul leave the game early, and then sent Paul and Iverson to face off at the beginning of the second quarter.
Facing his idol, the young Paul completely suppressed the aging Iverson.
However, Sloan also replaced Deron in advance, allowing Deron to target Paul.
The two chess players, Sloan and Phil Jackson, used each other's tricks to give the fans the matchup they wanted between famous coaches.
Without the emergence of the X factor, the Nets failed to establish a lead.
Similarly, the Lakers failed to open up the score.
In essence, the combination of Deron + Lin Ying + Chandler is comparable to the combination of Paul + Kobe + Gasol in terms of strength, degree of fit, and even game status.
This is a close match.
On the final possession of the regular season, Kobe missed Butler's fadeaway shot.
The two sides tied at 105 and entered overtime.
At the end of the regular season, both sides were already out of breath.
This game is very important for both sides.
Due to the competition system, the Nets cannot lose the first two home games.
Likewise for the Lakers, if they return to Los Angeles with a score of 0-2, even if they win the next three home games, they still have to return to Brooklyn.
In the five minutes of overtime, both sides were in ruins.
Chandler on the Nets and Gasol on the Lakers have both committed six fouls and left the game.
Now it's all about the dual-core performance of both sides.
In overtime, neither Lin Ying nor Kobe Bryant felt very good.
Their consumption is the greatest during the regular season.
After a few rounds, the game almost became a duel between Deron and Paul.
Nets fans are overjoyed.
Beating Paul while eating, sleeping, this is Deron's specialty!
But this time the familiar scene didn't happen.
Because after Kobe knew that his hand was not good, he began to devote his only physical energy to defense against Deron.
The Lakers' offense was handed over to Paul.
It was at this time that the Lakers showed a tactical combination that they may not have used much in the past: Gortat and Paul pick-and-roll.
Gortat's level is not outstanding on this level of stage, and it is even inferior compared to Chandler.
But he is big and his pick-and-roll quality is not low.
Through the pick-and-roll, Paul started his mid-range offensive mode.
Because of his height, his mid-range shooting point is not high, but his rhythm and shooting arc are very high.
This makes him difficult to block.
And he just beats Chandler.
Break the ball, step back, fade away, mid-range.
In three consecutive rounds, he hit three mid-range shots.
Each one is more difficult than the last, but each one can be put into it.
When the last mid-range shot was made, the game was decided.
After making the last mid-range shot, Paul pumped his fist and roared in a cathartic manner, then jumped up and bumped his chest with Kobe who came over.
After hitting his chest, Paul's eyes showed cruelty.
He actually also pays attention to social media.
He also knows how poorly fans think of him now.
But he is actually different from Howard. He has been trying to climb a natural mountain like Delong.
Tonight, he did it!
And there is a point that has been overlooked. Lin Ying and Billups on the opposite side were the source of the 58 bloodbath against him.
Tonight, he did it too!
This is a victory for Chris Paul!
This is his night!
113 to 109, the Lakers finally defeated the Nets with Paul's performance in overtime, and tied the finals score at 1-1.
Statistics after the game showed that Lin Ying of the Nets scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Deron had 19 points and 7 assists, and Chandler had 15 points and 13 rebounds;
For the Lakers, Pau Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Kobe Bryant had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Paul had 28 points and 11 assists, including 8 points in overtime.
After the game, Lakers fans started going online.
"In 2001, Iverson scored 48 points in a single game and defeated the invincible Lakers, which was a great success. Later, the 76ers were swept by the Lakers 4-1."
"Lin's strength is very close to that of Kobe, so the key lies in the matchup between Deron and Paul. Paul defeated Deron tonight and also defeated himself. We have reason to believe that CP3 will still be dazzling in the following games."
"The next step is our home court in Los Angeles. Win them and win the Lakers' 16th NBA championship trophy in Los Angeles!"
…
After the 1-1 game, the Nets felt the pressure.
The next three away games, eight consecutive days in Los Angeles, will be a huge challenge for them both physically and mentally.
Sloan was not in a hurry. He gave his players half a day off after the G2 game.
"Go back and have a good sleep, forget what happened tonight, and prepare well for the next wave 5."
Sometimes the coach's mentality determines the players' mentality.
Sloan's words that "everything in front of him is a small scene" allowed the Nets players to adjust their mentality to the greatest extent.
After all, Sloan is someone who has really experienced big scenes.
In the evening, Lin Ying went to his home training center to train after coaxing Xiao Lin Yi to sleep.
Although Sloan's words are reassuring, the current competition system and the next three consecutive away games against the Nets will be a big challenge for him.
This challenge is both pressure and motivation.
After defeating the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, his mentality changed again.
He has a feeling that his destiny is always in his own hands, not only psychologically, but also physically.
In other words, when encountering a challenge, his body will instinctively become excited and then enter a sub-white-hot space state.
It's not a panacea, but in terms of confidence, he's at the highest point of his career right now.
After the first round of training, he sat on the sidelines to rest and found several missed calls.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was all from Delong.
He called back.
"I can't sleep, I'm in front of your house."
There was a hint of fatigue in Delong's voice.
Lin Ying hung up the phone and went to the door.
Delong stood there alone, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
New York is already full of spring in May, but the temperature is not very high at night.
Delong was also very thinly dressed and looked inexplicably desolate.
Lin Ying took him from the door to the living room.
Swift had already slept with Xiao Lin Yi. Lin Ying asked the servant to make a cup of hot coffee for them both, and then started chatting with Delong.
"I should have guarded Chris. I knew they would pick and roll. I should have followed him in advance. If I..."
Delong started talking non-stop as soon as he sat down.
And from his words, Lin Ying could also tell why he couldn't sleep.
Generally speaking, as professional players, especially famous stars who have been playing in the league for many years, the outcome of a game should not have such a big impact.
Even if he is competing at the finals level.
And now the two teams are only tied 1-1.
Although Lin Ying also felt some pressure, it was not only to the extent that it affected his sleep.
But Delong...
Delong was still talking, and Lin Ying looked at him with a look of exhaustion, self-blame, and annoyance...
Too rich and too negative.
However, I can understand it.
You must know that Deron said before that "I will fight my best to win this championship."
When a person is very eager to accomplish something, any small mistake may lead to violent fluctuations in mentality.
What's more, the person who killed the game was the person he had always suppressed.
"Deron, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really want to be serious, I only scored 2 points in overtime."
Lin Ying interrupted Delong.
"I did not mean that."
Delong hurriedly explained.
"I mean, just like Coach Sloan said, forget tonight's game, we have a wave of 5 to play next."
At this time, the servant came over with coffee. Lin Ying picked up the coffee and blew on it. After taking a sip, although it was a bit bitter, his whole body felt warm.
He then spoke,
"The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Delong didn't understand him enough, after Lin Ying put down his coffee, he gave another example that Delong would surely understand:
"Just like between you and Coach Sloan, the mistakes you once made are irreversible, but you still have the opportunity to make up for it now."
Delong was stunned when he heard this.
After a while he nodded.
"You're right, we still need to win three more games."
Hearing what Delong said, Lin Ying stood up with a smile and patted Delong on the shoulder.
"That's right. You can't sleep anyway. Come on, come practice with me for a while!"
"Um!"
Chapter completed!
