Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 530
Yi Jianlian's three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning of the game were all one-step shots from the three-point line to face the defender and take off directly. The positioning of the tracking missile is average, and it will not be affected by any factors.

It is also worth mentioning that this game is the first game of the finals!
As the last feast of the NBA every season, the teams that can reach that stage are undoubtedly the two strongest teams in the league this season.

This kind of game should be evenly matched, you should come and go, it should be a fight between dragons and tigers, it should not be a solo dance of a certain player.

What's more, this is not a scene that can be described by the word solo dance!

This is simply a tailor-made script for Yi Jianlian!
"Wow ah ah ah!"

The gradually uncontrollable cheers at the scene are also explaining all this, and it shows how difficult it is for the New York fans to feel after seeing Yi Jianlian's performance of going berserk at the beginning.

"This is really a performance that can only be completed by God's possession. Seriously, who in this league can score like Yi?" Spike Lee muttered to himself, his expression was just like the New York fans at the scene, full of shock and All kinds of incredible, as the most loyal supporter of the New York Knicks, as a witness to the past of this arena, no matter how rich his experience is, Spike Lee has never seen such an opening show.

"Yi's state tonight is telling one thing, no matter what all the experts think about him and his Knicks before the game, he can use his performance to slap the experts who are not optimistic about the Knicks. , If the performance in the regular season is not shocking enough, then use the performance in the playoffs, if you still think it is not enough, then express your attitude by hitting three consecutive three-pointers at the beginning!"

The Knicks started off with a 9-4 lead under Yi Jianlian's completely unreasonable three-pointer.

"Don't worry guys, we're not too far behind and the game is just getting started!"

However, under Yi Jianlian's strong performance, the Mavericks quickly recovered their former calmness and composure. They seemed to have not seen Yi Jianlian's exaggerated three-point shooting at all. The person who stabilized them was Jason Kidd. Nets pusher, now Mavericks backcourt leader and future NBA Hall of Famer.

Some experts have commented on Jason Kidd in this way, calling him the best tactical master in NBA history. He is not as biased as Steve Nash. He is familiar with fast-paced running and bombing and slow-paced positional warfare. He and Like Chris Paul and "Magic" Johnson, they are the best tactical masters.

The number one position is the ultimate in organizational ability, that is, Jason Kidd!
Faced with Yi Jianlian's overwhelming momentum, Jason Kidd showed a sophisticated side. He was not eager to organize an attack to quickly recover the score after Yi Jianlian scored a goal. He still led the team to attack slowly.

In this round, he didn't even organize his teammates to run immediately after crossing the center line, but spoke to appease his teammates.

Jason Kidd at this age certainly does not have the energy and ability of his youth, but now he is like the head coach of the Mavericks on the court. All tactics are in his mind, how to play all tactics, and how to master the rhythm , are also in his head.

He waited until there were 24 seconds left in the 9-second attack time limit, and when Dirk Nowitzki was about to reach his position, he carefully observed the movement of the Knicks players, and after making sure that the passing route was okay, he passed the ball. gave the latter.

Facing Turiaf, Dirk was not afraid of the biochemical weapon under the latter's armpit. He stood up hard, took a step back with the strength of the rebound, then raised his right foot high, and leaned his whole body backwards. He looked like he was about to stand unsteadily, but the movements of his hands were very steady. He flicked his right wrist vigorously, and rubbed his fingers against the basketball to control the direction of the ball.

"Shh!"

The ball fell steadily into the basket.

Dirk Nowitzki also stood firmly.

Obviously, the movement that looked like he was out of balance just now didn't really lose his center of gravity.

Dirk Nowitzki called this trick "Golden Rooster Independence"!
This trick, coupled with his incredible touch this season, is why the Mavericks were able to reach the finals this year.

Nuo Tianwang's move is really hard to guard against.

"Yes!"

Nowitzki, who scored the goal, let out a low growl. He didn't have much confidence when he threw the ball. Turiaf was much tougher than he imagined.

He almost lost his balance on this ball.

But fortunately, his touch in this game is still the same as the previous game, just like him in the whole playoffs, very hot, this kind of ball really relies on his own muscle memory to get in.

The point difference was recovered and there were 3 points left.

Rick Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the goal was scored.

"Post it, quickly post it!"

Before the Knicks had served in the backcourt, Rick Carlisle immediately asked Deshaun Stevenson and Sean Marion to prepare to defend and supplement the defense. Seeing his anxious appearance, if these two guys did not immediately If he nodded, he was afraid that he would come to the field to drag them both.

However, after the two guys received the order, Yi Jianlian failed to catch the ball smoothly this time, but Dragic improved rapidly in those games in the Eastern Conference finals, and now he has nothing to do against Jason Kidd with the ball. In a hurry, he patiently waited for the Knicks players to move.

ESPN commentator Bill Walton, who saw this phenomenon, said sincerely: "Next summer, Goran Dragic will definitely get a big contract, and with New York City's usual pride, Dragic is also very likely to get a contract." A contract worth no less than 800 million annual salary, it is hard to imagine that this is the annual salary that a guy who failed to gain a foothold in any team in the first two seasons of his career can get, and the only thing that happened to him was The change was coming to the Knicks, okay! To put it bluntly, he met Yi and changed the trajectory of his entire career!"

Dragic called Stoudemire to pick and roll with him. For Stoudemire, this routine is the most familiar tactic and routine. Before Yi Jianlian came, he and Felton relied on this trick to defeat the Knicks. Brought to the sixth position in the Eastern Conference, Dragic is now a guy who is more suitable for running and bombing tactics. He is naturally willing to continue to play pick-and-roll tactics.

At the same time, he is also eager to stand up while Yi Jianlian is watched. The last time he played against the Bulls, he was more of a spectator. The Knicks were under pressure throughout the first half of the game. If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's brainstorm at halftime to activate Dragic, the Knicks would probably lose that game.

So even if the Knicks won the game in the end, Stoudemire still blames himself a little bit. This season, the Knicks' highest paid person is him, but he can only spend more time in the game with his own. His teammates are average, waiting for Yi Jianlian to rescue the team from an unfavorable situation. This is not what he wants to see. Even though he has realized that his strength is not as good as Yi Jianlian, he does not want to be like other players. Relying on Yi Jianlian, even if he has accepted his fate as the Knicks' second leader, he shouldn't be a completely useless second leader.

and so……

"ball!"

Dragic used his pick-and-roll to pass by him, and he immediately slid down, and then asked Dragic quickly. The resolute attitude made Dragic not hesitate to stuff the ball directly to him. hands.

"Ho!"

Stoudemire took the ball, turned around and yelled, and suddenly accelerated and dunked the ball into the basket.

"Ho!"

After the dunk was successful, Stoudemire raised his head to the sky and roared, and the entire arena went crazy again because of his dunk.

"I really want to see that little overlord flying over the basket in Phoenix!" Barkley was also quite embarrassed. He was also a player of the Suns and had a certain affection for his home team. Back then, the Suns relied on While Kuaiba whirlwind has become a strong player in this league again, he was also sincerely happy for this team. At that time, he looked at the young and vigorous Amare Stadamier, and his mind was full of his own youth. The appearance at that time, um...maybe a little greasy than him.

"Yi has made all the players better, but it has also obscured their brilliance. Generally speaking, when Yi Jianlian can't stand up, his teammates rarely can stand up. This is an objective fact. But in this game, when Yi couldn't get the ball, Amare stood up, and this ball was definitely a morale-boosting ball!" Kenny Smith was also very touched by Stoudemire's ball, he saw It can be seen that Stoudemire also wants to stand up for this team.

At the beginning, he was also called the savior who came to the Big Apple City. Although not many New York fans thought so at the time, in the United States, a personal hero complex is a must for everyone.

Stoudemire... also wants to be a hero in New York.

"Shh!"

In the next round, Stoudemire made another mid-range shot!

He perfectly filled the scoring gap when Yi Jian couldn't connect with the ball.

The time of the first quarter of the game gradually ran out, and the Knicks entered the second quarter with a 31-27 lead.

Stoudemire scored 10 points in this quarter and made 6 of 5 shots, which is extremely efficient!

The last time he scored double-digit points in the first quarter of a game was when he played against the Heat in the playoffs. However, the inside strength of the Heat is not enough. If he can't take advantage of the confrontation with Chris Bosh and Haslem, then he really shouldn't get so much money.

Even after the Bulls lost in the first game, many fans were already dissing Stoudemire, thinking that he shouldn't take so much money.

But in the first quarter of this game against the Mavericks, Stoudemire finally proved why he was able to get so much money. He also believed that with his performance in the first quarter, those black fans who questioned him should You can shut up too!
These goddamn guys!

Ok!

This is also the reason why Stoudemire played so fiercely in this game. In addition to wanting to stand up when Yi Jianlian was double-teamed, he also wanted to prove his ability.

The situation is very good. During the interview between the festivals, ESPN reporters chose to interview D'Antoni:
"Okay, Mike, I want to know how you feel now. Are you happy with Amare's performance in the first quarter?"

"No, in fact I am not at all, buddy, don't forget, I have worked with Amare once, I know his ability, and I also know that this is his normal performance!"

"But that's not how he's always been with the Knicks. You should know that. He's not that bully anymore. You should know that."

"But judging from the performance in the first quarter, who can say that Amare is not the Amare he used to be, he is still the bully, whether he is in Phoenix or now in the Big Apple!"

D'Antoni defended Stoudemire with full confidence. Of course, he can indeed be full of confidence today. Stoudemire's performance in the first quarter of this game is also worthy of him.

***
Yi Jianlian continued to play in the second quarter. Like the Eastern Conference finals, Deshaun Stevenson and Sean Marion were also paralyzed by him. Speaking of Sean Marion, he was also called a "hacker" back then. That alliance can fly into the sky and escape from the ground, but now facing Yi Jianlian, he really feels what it means to be unforgiving!

Yi Jianlian's physical strength is still very strong, he simply runs without the ball and doesn't need to attack continuously, which is no different from his usual physical training.

For him, physical training, like eating and drinking, has long been a routine!

He is used to it.

Rick Carlisle felt like he was going crazy seeing him play early in the second quarter!

He has taken Dirk Nowitzki and other core players off the court. Their age is there. After playing for a full 12 minutes, it is far from enough to give them a 2-minute rest time. This is Rick Carlyle also cannot violate the objective fact.

In other words, now he really doesn't know who to use to defend Yi Jianlian!
Speaking of which, this may be the only flaw of the Mavericks. Originally, after they won the championship in 2011, they were eliminated by the Thunder in the next year. One of the very important reasons is that the next year is a shrinking season. This year, the Mavericks played a lot of back-to-back, and there was also a "back-to-back". This schedule did not allow the Mavericks to get enough rest in the regular season. The opportunity was seized by the Thunder, including the Spurs who were reversed by the Thunder because of the injuries and physical problems of the core players. Of course, it does not mean that the Thunder is not strong. In the eyes of the experts at the time, the Thunder had fulfilled their talents, but in fact, they were not perfect at the time. Whether it was Kevin Durant, Westbrook or James Harden, their abilities far exceeded them. Ability in the year of the finals.

In this year's playoffs, the Thunder really won because of the schedule and because they were young and strong.
