The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 172 It's a matter of course, the old cannon
If Duncan is the cornerstone of the Spurs.

The fuel in Parker's sports car tank determined how far the Spurs could go.

So whenever the Spurs go deep into desperation, it is Manu Ginobili who drives the colorful clouds to save them.

There is a poem praising it: "The demon sword is out of its sheath to reveal its sharpness, and the mind is peaceful and the mood is high."If it comes to a critical moment, only Manu can turn the world around.

……

After 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, the score was rewritten to 79 to 87, and the Knicks still led by 8 points. At this time, both D'Antoni and Popovich made final substitution adjustments.

Fans at Madison Square Garden could smell the showdown vibe.

It's like two gunmen fighting each other. The previous ones were all tentative, and now it's the decisive battle.

The Knicks replaced Lin Yi, David Lee, Gallinari, Chandler, and Lu Wei, which was their final lineup.

The Spurs are Duncan, Blair, Richardson, Ginobili, Parker.

"GDP" debuted at the same time, which was Popovich's last big move.

In fact, the game entered the last moment of the fourth quarter. Unless it was the tactical arrangement of the last attack, the head coaches could only trust the performance of the stars and their formation.

After a short wave of recovery, the Knicks' first offensive option returned to Lin Yi.

Popovich didn't use Duncan to deal with Lin Yi again. The old "Stone Buddha" spent a lot of money today. This is just a regular season, and getting injured is no fun.

Duncan's tolerance is largely due to Popovich controlling his playing time late in his career and letting him take turns from time to time.

It was Blair who was in charge of dealing with Lin Yi.

This "little black fat" was a little nervous. He had observed Lin Yi's style of play when he was on the bench, and he had to say that Lin Yi was really faster than in the videos and videos.

Blair lowered his center of gravity to prevent Lin Yi from breaking through. What Popovich told him was that if it really doesn't work, let Lin Yi vote!
You can get what you have!

I have to say that Popovich is indeed a very decisive head coach.

And Lin Yi is also a very decisive player.

After dribbling the ball under the crotch to pretend to break through, and found that Blair didn't make a pounce, Lin Yi opened up the space and directly retracted his stomach, kicked his legs, stayed in the air, and shot!
Swish!
79 is better than 89!

The Knicks lead again by 10 points!
"It's so beautiful, Lin Yi's jump shot is just like a textbook!" Yu Jia said with emotion.

"Blair is much shorter than him. The Spurs defended against Lin Yi's breakthrough, but it was difficult to stop him from shooting. Look at Lin Yi's little wrist shake and the arc of his shot. Not many people in the NBA can play this." Zhang Lili said.

Madison Square Garden has once again shouted MVP, MVP!

At this moment of decisive battle, isn't the comparison about who can seize the opportunity?

Looking back, the Spurs attacked, and this attack was parked. Ginobili and Duncan made a wall. Yaodao's weird pace made Chandler defending him hard.

"I don't know if there is a tutorial on Ginobili's breakthrough after the ankle terminator continues to upgrade. It's really useful." Lin Yi thought.

The game continued. The Knicks and the Spurs took turns to see each other. Lu Wei would occasionally stand up and take the gun in Lin Yi's hand to shoot a few times. At the last moment, no one dared to make a mistake, so there were fewer pass cuts and air cuts.

Popovich frowned, because the Knicks really played well tonight. After the Spurs' defensive strength increased, Lin Yi and Lu Wei could score against the opponent.

Popovich called a timeout with 4 minutes left. After asking about Duncan's status, Popovich decided to let "Stone Buddha" face Lin Yi in the last 4 minutes.

Blair's wingspan is too short, Popovich also replaced the veteran McDyess, and told the players, if the Knicks hit inside the block, must be around the block in advance.

As a result, when the timeout came back, Popovich found that the Knicks had replaced David Lee and replaced Harrington.

Popovich feels bad
Sure enough, the Knicks played inside and out, but unlike Lin Yi and David Lee's pick-and-roll, when Lin Yi and Harrington played a pick-and-roll, Harrington cut outside. As long as the Spurs couldn't keep up with the inside, Harrington scored a 3-pointer with his hands on the outside.

This kind of three-pointer at the decisive moment is simply terrible!
After Harrington hit his second 1-pointer to make it 21-98 with 108:[-] left in the fourth quarter, Popovich knew the night was over.

Unless Ginobili can also come to a McGrady-style 35 seconds and 13 minutes. But that is too sci-fi.

In the end, the Spurs lost to the Knicks 102 to 114 in the away game. At the moment the game ended, Knicks fans at home stood up and applauded the team.

This year, the significance of defeating the Spurs is different. Recently, the Knicks' record has been unstable. Many media believe that the momentum of "Linsanity" has passed, and the Knicks are not as strong as people imagined.

But tonight's victory over the Spurs is undoubtedly a slap in the face for those who bad-mouthed the Knicks.

"The performance of the Knicks tonight is worthy of the victory. Guided by Zhang, Lin Yi hit a new high." Yu Jia checked the technical statistics immediately after the game. If you don't look at it, you don't know. Lin Yi played 37 minutes tonight and took 29 shots. He hit 14 goals, including 5 of 2 three-pointers and 8 of 7 free throws. He scored a game-high 37 points. Offense is the number one contributor to the Knicks' victory over the Spurs tonight.

Especially in the critical fourth quarter, Lin Yi stepped forward and hit difficult COSCO shots many times.

Only two of the Knicks scored in double figures tonight. The other scored in double figures was Louis Williams. Lu Wei took 27 shots and hit 13 goals. He made 11 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 35 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.

“林路”组合合砍72分，而马刺那边，邓肯拿到20分13个篮板4次助攻3次盖帽，吉诺比利21分5助攻4篮板，帕克19分6助攻3篮板2抢断，“GDP”联手贡献60分。

Popovich congratulated D'Antoni graciously after the game. Old D'Antoni was in a very good mood. After defeating the Spurs, the resentment in his chest disappeared a lot.

In an interview after the game, Popovich praised Lin Yi, "He is a future fighter. To be honest, I don't know where his upper limit is. You have also seen it. This is just his rookie season. If you compare it horizontally, Lin's rookie season is already slightly better than LeBron."

The reason why Popovich praised Linyi was also to decompress the players, telling the players that we lost not because we played badly, but because the Knicks played too well.

The NBA season is very long. In such a long season, there will be stars ushering in explosions every night. The Spurs just happened to hit the Knicks.

"Lin, JRS Voice wants to interview you, so make preparations." Javier Stanford happily patted Lin Yi on the back.

"Okay." Lin Yi, who was still adjusting his breathing, replied.

This game was a lot of consumption for Lin Yi, these old guns are really grinding, especially thinking that they will grind for many years in the future, Lin Yi suddenly feels that there is nothing to love.
