NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 208 Rebound Maniac, the Iron Branch of Five Yang and Four Irons will also blossom! !

"The East's defense has been very successful this time around."

"In the face of the double-teaming of two All-Star big men in the playoffs, Lin Hong still exposed some problems."

Seeing Payton reorganized on the outside, Zhang reasonably analyzed the situation on the field.

Although Mutombo was tightly controlled by Lin Hong, with the help of his teammates, the East finally blocked Lin Hong's footsteps.

In this defensive round.

When Lin Hong staggered and failed to hold the ball, Vin Baker immediately came to double-team, but this was not a real double-team, but forced Lin Hong to take the ball.

Sure enough, Vin Baker's goal was achieved.

In this way, Lin Hong lost a good chance to attack the basket.

In addition, Rainman Kemp only has a shooting percentage of less than [-]% from the outside, and it is impossible to make a shot even if there is a wide open, so he can only hand the ball to the glove Payton to reorganize.

At this time, more than half of the 24-second attack time had passed, leaving only 8 seconds.

After Kobe received the ball, Lin Hong stepped forward to pick and roll for himself.

Lin Hong picks and rolls and hangs up Jordan.

But Mutombo did not follow out, still squatting in the paint to defend.

Kobe challenged Mutombo with a strong impact.

"Crack!" sound.

Mutombo's pegboard cap blocked Kobe's pull-up layup.

The rebound was picked up by Jordan.

Just as Jordan was about to push for a fast break, Payton's glove stuck to it like a dog's skin plaster.

Seeing Payton, who used both hands and feet and was outspoken, the corners of Jordan's mouth twitched, feeling like the scene of last season's finals was being staged again.

The fast break did not push up, so it could only fall into positional warfare.

In the positional battle, Jordan reached out to let Mutombo pick and roll.

After a single block, Jordan and the opposing Payton widened the gap by half a body.

With an emergency stop and an emergency start, Peyton was completely thrown off.

Facing Lin Hong's supplementary defense, Jordan made a fake pass and passed the ball straight to Mutombo who was running down.

After Mutombo received the ball, he roared and it was a dunk.

This attack and defense can be regarded as regaining some face for Mutombo.

next round.

Penny Hardaway did the same, playing a pick-and-roll with Mutombo.

But this time Lin Hong switched defenses directly.

Although Hardaway's athletic ability has declined slightly due to injuries, he has a broad vision and is quite accomplished in organization. His overall ability is quite similar to that of Jordan.

The most important thing is that he has a height of 201cm.

The shooting space is far from what the 193cm western teammates gloves can match.

Hardaway named Lin Hong and dribbled the ball in rhythm to constantly disturb Lin Hong.

Concentrating on Lin Hong, he showed his coordination ability that does not match his height, and his outside footsteps.

Even though Lin Hong's single defense from outside can keep up with Hardaway, he has no mood to care about other things.

At this time, Vin Baker, relying on his strong body and good athletic ability among players in the same position, took advantage of Rain Man Kemp's inattention and made an instant air cut.

Hardaway made a ground pass.

After Vin Baker received the ball, facing the emptied basket, he stretched out his hand and dunked.

The fourth quarter was 6 minutes and 11 seconds.

The East has chased the score to only 2 points left.

Aside from the fact that the East's overall defense is doing well, there are several reasons.

Facing double-teaming Lin Hong was a bit exhausted.

Kobe's touch in the second half did not come back.

The postman Malone's straight-arm jumper after the pick-and-roll, 4 of 1 shots, was too miserable to bet.

And Lin Hong's terrifying rebounds were limited miserably due to the hard work of the Eastern team.

The East changed its defensive strategy and achieved remarkable results.

Eastern coach Eddie Jordan is well aware of how terrifying Lin Hong's rebounding is.

They adopted several strategies:
On the offensive end, move Lin Hong away from the basket as much as possible to make it difficult for him to grab offensive rebounds.

On the defensive end, Vin Baker does a good job of blocking.

Wen Baker, who is 211cm tall and weighs 110kg, can't stand up to Lin Hong one-on-one, but he can delay the opponent's card position.Create better rebounding conditions for Mutombo.

In the end, if Vin Baker failed to resist, he would double-team the player closest to Lin Hong and try his best to prevent Lin Hong from coming to the basket.

Competing for rebounds is not all the work of the two big insiders in the team. In many cases, it requires the efforts of the whole team.

In the first quarter of the game, Lin Hong was heavily guarded by the entire Eastern Conference team. The other teammates were too stubborn to stand up tonight. This made Lin Hong only have a pitiful 4 rebounds.

Among them, there is only 1 offensive rebound.

With 4 rebounds in a single quarter, theoretically, there are 16 in the audience.

This is not bad for an All-Star insider, but I don't know why, when Lin Hong only has this rebounding data, the fans feel that Lin Hong is powerless tonight.

"Forest!"

"Are you still going to rest?"

One minute before the start of the second quarter, coach Donovan looked at Lin Hong who was still breathing unevenly and said.

The devil's home court, plus, the entanglement of the two insiders exhausted Lin Hong's energy a lot.

"No need." Lin Hong took off the towel covering his head, and said with firm and confident eyes.

At the same time, coach Harris also saw the 'murderous look' in Lin Hong's eyes.

The whole person seems to be a little different.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that Lin Hong, whose rebounds are restricted, seems to enjoy the feeling of this kind of strong confrontation.

He couldn't wait to get on the court, ravaging and destroying the trouble the opponent caused him.

The game continues.

Eastern possession.

Hardaway continued to hold the ball at a 45-degree angle on the wing.

Mutombo puts up the pick-and-roll.

Lin Hong was also pulled out. At the same time, he waved his hand at Kobe and chose to defend against Hardaway again.

Lin Hong's single defense against Hardaway is not very effective, but compared to letting Hardaway hit the inside and using sudden points to connect the teams, the damage to the team is smaller.

In addition, Lin Hong also feels that he has gradually found the feeling of defending Penny Hardaway.

Hardaway dribbled the ball and first retreated beyond the three-point line to increase his breakthrough space.

Lin Hong bent over, lowered his center of gravity, and spread his arms at the same time, thereby expanding his defensive coverage.

"coming!"

"Boo!" With a snap, Hardaway took a sharp step with his right foot, pretending to break through from Lin Hong's right side.

Lin Hong paused and followed quickly.

Hardaway made an emergency stop, and at the same time, made a shooting action that was about to join the ball.

Lin Hong immediately stood up straight, raised his right hand, and restricted him from shooting.

But Hardaway this is just a worship Buddha.

After Lin Hong's center of gravity was shaken, taking advantage of the time difference, Hardaway was short, stepped on the gas pedal to death, and forcibly rushed from Lin Hong's left wing to the basket.

"nice shot!"

"Lin, he was tricked by Anfernee Hardaway."

ESPN commentator Albert couldn't help but said with a smile.

"haha, yes."

"Even if Lin has no solution, he is still a big man of 215cm."

Partner John Kyle chimed in with a laugh.

Hardaway broke into the basket and found that no one came to defend him.

Looking at the empty restricted area in front of him, this weird atmosphere made Hardaway feel a little scared for no reason.

But when faced with the flat restricted area, he didn't think too much about it. He made a quick decision, jumped up, and was about to blow up the basket.

"Anfernee!"

"careful!"

The anxious reminder from his teammates suddenly sounded in his ears, and Hardaway instinctively sensed the danger.

Immediately looking back, he found that Lin Hong behind him was rushing towards him like a flood.

"This!"

"how is this possible!"

Hardaway, who passed Lin Hong a second ago, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

He knew that Lin Hong was not slow.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

You know, he is a big man of 215cm.

Facing Lin Hong who rushed from behind.

The image of being pinned down by the opponent flashed quickly in Hardaway's mind.

So, in mid-air, he retracted his outstretched right hand again, twisted his body, and drifted a small lever, avoiding Lin Hong's double ghosts to hit the goal, and wiped the board for a layup.

"Bang!" A sound.

Although the ball escaped the block, it was still disturbed.

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

"Back to defense!"

"Back to defense!"

"Hurry back and defend!"

After hitting the iron, Hardaway, under the effect of inertia, stayed away from the basket, and had no intention of competing for offensive rebounds at all.

After all, the rebound landed under the basket, and Lin Hong was stuck under the basket. At this time, asking him to fight for Lin Hong's rebound is basically a free gift.

Once the offensive rebound is not grabbed.

Lin Hong's backhand was a long pass from the quarterback, and the loss outweighed the gain.

"Bang!" A sound.

Lin Hong protected the backboard.

But this time, the East's return to defense was decisive and did not give the West a chance to play a fast break and counterattack.

Can only fall into positional warfare.

In the fourth quarter, all the outside lines in the west were misfired, and the open shots were repeatedly missed.

Lin Hong and Payton again picked and rolled at the top of the arc.

Payton made a jump shot.

Almost got in.

"Protect the rebound!"

"Protect the rebound!"

Eddie Jordan yelled from the sidelines.

At this time, Pippen, who was near the free throw line, quickly used his body to block Lin Hong who wanted to go to the basket.

In the first quarter of the game, Pippen's rebounds were the best.

Although Lin Hong was able to squeeze through, Jordan, who worked hard, effectively delayed Lin Hong's opportunity to rush to the basket.

And missed the best time, Mutombo and Vin Baker, two rebounding masters, can easily harvest the rebounds.

However, from one moment to another, Lin Hong's eyes were full of murderous intent.

The kind of murderous intent that never gives up without taking off the rebound is like a powder keg that explodes at any time.

With a swing of his elbows, Lin Hong violently tore apart Pippen's entanglement.

"Fake!"

"Stop him!"

Eastern coach Eddie Jordan saw Lin Hong stepping past Pippen and rushing to the basket, he couldn't help shouting anxiously.

At the same time, the basketball bounced and the landing position was biased towards Mutombo.

There is still a distance from Lin Hong.

This made Eddie Jordan, slightly relieved.

Don't look at it as just a small rebound, but if Lin Hong finds his form and plays dominant again, the consequences will be troublesome.

There was a sound of "噗!"

Lin Hong jumped up suddenly.

The 215cm little giant, like a helicopter, takes off vertically at a speed that is very inconsistent with his figure.

"Crack!" sound.

A big hand appeared above Mutombo's head and directly took off the rebound.

This shocking scene made the Eastern fans at the scene couldn't help but put their hands on their heads and secretly exclaimed that it was outrageous.

Such a huge body can have such an exaggerated bullet speed.

Lin Hong, who got the rebound, looked around and instantly found Kobe in the corner.

In the fourth quarter tonight, Kobe Bryant made four backs and three irons, and made 3 of 0 three-pointers.

There are still 2 open shots.

Hand up and down!
Kobe didn't hesitate at all and made a three-pointer.

Lin Hong's pass comes with a pass buff.

[Giant's pass magic] can increase teammates' open three-point shooting percentage.

But Kobe's iron, even Lin Hong's buff bonus, couldn't save him.

"Bang!" a voice.

Strike the iron again.

Lin Hong at the basket was caught by Vin Baker.

But in an instant, Lin Hong was like an erupting volcano, with a violent counter-card grab, Vin Baker almost fell to the ground.

"Crack!" sound.

Lin Hong grabbed the offensive rebound.

Teammate iron words.

One pass is useless!
Then pass it 2 times!
Love him and pass him the ball!

This time.

The blacksmith Kobe finally did not live up to Lin Hong's hope.

Hit a three-pointer.

After scoring.

In front of the Western Conference bench, coach Silver Fox Harris also couldn't help making a punching movement.

Lin Hong's rebounding dominance is back, and he once again showed his suffocating rebounding ability.

next round.

West offense, after Payton picks and rolls, he breaks through and passes the ball to Kobe who cuts from the weak side.

Kobe's attacking basket was interfered by Mutombo, who was helping to defend, with his long arms, and the attacking frame hit the iron.

Almost at the same time, Vin Baker from the East stuck up like a dog's skin plaster, desperately stuck Lin Hong's lower body, preventing him from getting a favorable rebounding position.

Lin Hong didn't get used to him either.

Ass pouted!
Big ass clears the way!
Vin Baker staggered and nearly fell.

With a sound of "snap!", Lin Hong's helicopter-style vertical takeoff once again got the rebound on Mutombo's head.

"It's Omega's!"

On the sidelines, a kid wearing Mutombo's No. 55 jersey covered his face again.

In the next second, Lin Hong, who grabbed the rebound, saw Kobe Bryant who was open in the corner, passed the ball behind his head without looking at people, and assisted the latter to hit a three-pointer.

Lin Hong's rebounds, in addition to grabbing all kinds of rebounds in the penalty area under the basket, he can even grab some rebounds from far away.

Rebounds with far-reaching positions are generally produced by COSCO shots.

This also means that after Lin Hong and Kobe pick and roll, he can make a bold backward jumper.

Although he has been hitting the iron, Kobe has been shooting.

There is no fear.

Teammates have no complaints either.

After all, Lin Hong can always take the rebound off the opponent's head.

The fourth quarter was 3 minutes and 21 seconds.

Lin Hong blocked Mutombo with one hand and withstood Vin Baker with the other.

When the rebound fell, Lin Hong shot left and right, broke free from the shackles of the two, and jumped hard.

It's just that under the double confrontation, Lin Hong's jumping height is really limited.

However, with his superior height and wingspan, he scored an offensive rebound again.

"OH-NO!"

"my God!"

this moment.

Fans of the Eastern Conference All-Stars let out helpless and mournful sighs at the same time.

Even if the East is only 5 points behind at this time.

However, Lin Hong, who received offensive rebounds one after another, made the eastern stars feel the sadness of losing 58 points.

Lin Hong scored again.

To the postman Malone.

Malone raised his hand and made a straight-arm jumper.

This time!
Ma Long made a solid hit!

"Lin, it's too scary!"

"He's definitely one of the scariest rebounders in the league."

ESPN commentator, John Kyle, who has been convinced by Lin Hong, said with a wry smile.

"It's unbelievable!"

"A giant of 215cm is already a headache. What's even more frightening is that this giant can fly around tirelessly throughout the field."

The narrator Albert spread his hands with a helpless expression.

The last 1 minute and 22 seconds of the fourth quarter.

After Kobe hit a chasing three-pointer at the top of the arc.

The score was stretched to 10 points.

Kobe was not good at shooting, and he was particularly iron in the second half of tonight, but Lin Hong frantically accepted the offensive rebound, which forced Kobe's touch.

What's more, Lin Hong also has a passing buff that can increase the shooting rate of his teammates-the giant's passing magic.

The East requested a timeout.
