Iverson received a pass from Lin Ying, then made a fast break layup and then scored.

8 to 14!

In the blink of an eye, the Nuggets have narrowed the point difference to 6 points!

Many Nuggets fans at the scene were excited.

You help the team chase points continuously when you come up, and you still say that you are not a true core?!

Adelman stood up from the bench and signaled the team's new tactics.

Lin Ying could tell the meaning of that hand shape at a glance.

High level series.

But even though I guessed it, it’s really not easy to guard against.

Because Yao Ming is not Hibbert, he has excellent mid-range ability and strong passing ability.

Lin Ying could not huddle under the basket, let alone attack Yao Ming.

It’s just man-to-man.

McGrady ran back and threw away Smith and cut to the basket. Yao Ming made a precise shot and he took off after receiving the ball.

Because Hayes had no shooting ability, Lin Ying shrank to the basket in advance and saw McGrady coming over with his hands straightened.

He didn't want to be dunked under the basket by McGrady.

However, McGrady fully demonstrated his physical talent, using a sideways dodge lever in the air to send the ball into the basket.

The white horse and the spear float like poetry, invincible when I was young.

This ball has the charm of McGrady at his peak.

8 to 16.

The score difference returned to 8 points.

The Rockets have played 7 games and won 6. It is not easy to chase points under them.

Iverson took the ball to the frontcourt and glanced at Lin Ying. Lin Ying made the same gesture and then continued to position in the bottom corner.

If a tactic works, there is no reason to proactively adjust it.

Iverson also continued to walk on Nene's side.

This time Yao Ming went to the basket in advance, and Iverson saw it and made a pull-up jumper from mid-range.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow bag.

Iverson scores consecutive points!

After his mentality changed, his touch was back!

"Defend! Defend!"

The team performed brilliantly during this period, and the fans' mood finally got up!

Amid the cheers from the fans, the Rockets made a series of tactical moves and had no chance.

The Nuggets' defense also played well!

There was a hint of excitement in Karl's eyes.

Finally!

Moreover, as the attack time passed, Yao Ming was also a little anxious.

Lin Ying was suddenly double-teamed again!

"Crack!"

The ball in Yao Ming's hand was knocked out.

But before Lin Ying could control the ball again, Hayes reacted quickly and threw himself to the ground.

There was a chaotic scramble for the ball on the floor, and finally Hayes dumped the ball to McGrady.

McGrady shook Smith away, then turned around and made a pull-up from the three-point line!

The Rockets' offense was running low, and this was basically a near-buzzer.

"Whoa!"

But with the iconic scissor kick, McGrady threw the ball in!

The cheers at the scene suddenly stopped.

McGrady is in really good shape this season!

Moreover, NBA games really happen in a split second. If Hayes does not get the ball, the Nuggets will immediately launch another wave of defensive counterattacks.

But now.

10 to 19!

The score difference returned to 9 points in a blink of an eye!

The pressure that had just been released returned again.

This Rockets team was able to achieve the second-highest 22-game winning streak in history even with Yao Mai absent. It was really strong!

Iverson holds the ball, and the Nuggets play hard!

This time McGrady on the weak side shrank inward.

Iverson passed the ball to Smith in the corner.

He is playing extremely reasonably right now!

Smith received the ball and made a three-pointer from the corner.

The rhythm of this ball is very consistent.

"Dang!"

But it’s a little worse!

He forgot his knife!

Both sides were trying to collect the rebound toward the basket, but the ball was a long rebound, and Iverson finally got the ball!

At less than 1.8 meters tall with bare feet, Iverson averaged close to 4 rebounds per game in his career, relying on his nose for rebounds.

Then, he passed it again!

This time he passed the ball to the diagonal 45-degree three-point line!

Over there, Lin Ying saw Smith take action and quickly retreated to defend the Rockets' fast break. He had just moved from the bottom corner to a 45-degree angle.

The timing of Iverson's pass was perfect!

This is also fundamentally different from the ball passed to Smith earlier.

The front is about tactics, and anyone can pass the simplest breakaway ball.

But with this ball, Iverson was obviously looking for Lin Ying when he got the board.

In the Spurs game, Lin Ying completely won Iverson's trust!

Lin Ying received the ball and made a three-point shot.

The fans at the scene suddenly held their breath.

Yao Ming has already found his position under the basket, and Shane Battier and Hayes at the free throw line have also found their predicted landing spots.

If this ball is not scored, there is a high probability that the Rockets will fight back!

If he scored, with a double-digit point difference, Karl might be forced to call a timeout!

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound of connecting to the network.

Lin Ying seized the opportunity!

"Lin Ying has an invincibly big heart!"

Su Qun, who was watching the ball at the CCTV live broadcast booth, was excited.

He knows football.

Although Lin Ying's statistics are not very impressive, he knows that they are determined by his tactical position and his chances of taking action.

Looking at the details, Lin Ying has a very strong ability to seize opportunities!

When Iverson retreated from defense, he also took the initiative to find Lin Ying and gave him a high-five.

"I said so."

Iverson said with a smile after high-fiving.

He was naturally referring to what he said before, "We are the same kind of people."

Only if you have good mental quality can you make such a chance shot.

The interesting thing is that the on-site photographer gave Anthony a shot on the sidelines at this time.

The situation on the court has gone back and forth from one-sided at the beginning to now. It is really embarrassing for whoever is not present!

Anthony frowned slightly, and the photographer immediately cut away the camera.

Tracy McGrady and Battier's "split", after receiving the pass from Yao Ming, shook it and hit Smith again, causing Smith to foul!

McGrady's two free throw opportunities.

At this moment, Karl called Lin Ying to the sidelines.

After listening to what Karl said, Lin Ying knew that his most difficult task tonight was coming.

McGrady is in great shape now, and he's going to grab the spotlight.

On the court, McGrady made both free throws and scored 8 points in a row, helping the Rockets maintain an 8-point lead.

The situation is stalemate in this period, and every turn is crucial.

Iverson missed a shot in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound.

The Rockets have another chance to open the point difference to double digits.

McGrady wanted to pass the ball, raised his left hand and made a tactical gesture, then dribbled the ball forward.

This means I feel that I am in good condition and ready to do more.

But after he advanced to the frontcourt, he showed a look of surprise.

Because he discovered that the Nuggets were switching defenses during their retreat, and the person guarding him became Lin Ying!

You can even read the expression on McGrady’s face: Damn, why are you guarding me?!

Don't be surprised, it's just like Hayes joking about Lin Ying before the game.

Although the two had fought each other before Lin Ying entered the NBA, the way Lin Ying elbowed Horry and punched Bowen was something even players would be afraid of!

Just like Artest, after playing in the Palace of Auburn Hills, few people dare to confront him.

Of course, Lin Ying didn't think so much. He was now thinking about how to guard McGrady.

The score difference of 8 points was double digits.

McGrady hesitated and chose a high post shot.

I have finished using all my tactical gestures, it would be too embarrassing not to do them.

McGrady's passing ability is very strong, and the Nuggets don't dare to double-team casually.

One on one round.

Lin Ying was still very confident at this time.

His biggest disadvantage in guarding McGrady is his speed. If McGrady attacks in front of the frame, he is really not easy to guard.

After all, Tracy McGrady is famous for his quick first step.

But if he backs up the frame, as long as he doesn't lose his position easily, he still has a chance without making any small moves.

McGrady hit him twice on the back, feeling that his strength was not taking advantage of him, so he turned around and made a fake move.

His fake movements were very realistic, but Lin Ying was not surprised.

After McGrady turned around, he made one fake move after another to look at the frame, and even had a hint of raising his hand.

Lin Ying stared at McGrady's shoulder, still not shaking.

McGrady felt that he might have overestimated Lin Ying's defensive reaction, after all, he was facing a rookie player!

His next step was to turn around and break through from the baseline to the basket.

He turned around very quickly, but Lin Ying had already hung up on him, not giving him a chance to speed up.

During the confrontation between the two, they reached the three-second zone, and McGrady had no good chance to take action.

And it was a bit uncomfortable to have Lin Ying pressing him down all the time.

One thing that has to be mentioned is his back injury, which began to bother him in his second season with the Rockets.

As he gets older, it will affect his strength.

Although he is in hot form this season, most of his scoring has come from pull-up shots.

If this was the Magic era, or his first season with the Rockets, he would have gotten rid of Lin Ying with a sudden stop, turned around, and leaned back.

But that's a bit difficult for him now.

Finally...he leaned on his elbow.

Actions that he didn't bother to use at all in the past, he didn't care about so much now.

Lin Ying was also surprised.

He had the impression that McGrady was so talented that he played very cleanly.

It seems that when people reach middle age, they can't help themselves.

However, McGrady made him feel at ease this time. Originally, he felt that using small tricks against McGrady was a bit unreasonable. After all, Yao Ming is a teammate and a handsome idol.

But since McGrady has used it himself, there is no need to be polite.

His elbow directly pressed on McGrady's elbow.

The two of them moved up and down, attacking and defending.

McGrady also didn't expect Lin Ying to know how to make small moves, and now that he had reached the basket, he had no other choice but to force his shot.

The two of them are now like Wudang's ladder, both using each other's bodies to move upward.

In the end, McGrady straightened his arm and threw.

He is about 2.03 meters tall with bare feet and has a wingspan of 2.18 meters. His body shape is very close to Lin Ying's.

But Lin Ying pressed his elbow, and his height was naturally a little higher.

And Lin Ying is really smart. He knows that his bounce is not good, and he has already jumped towards the ball in McGrady's hand before it falls.

It's a pity that he is not a peak player, and he can no longer do a mid-air pull-up dodge layup.

"Crack!"

Lin Ying took a picture of McGrady’s move!

There was a sudden burst of cheers at the scene.

Lin Ying actually defended one-on-one, and even blocked Tracy McGrady!

McGrady is in hot shape right now!

And after the racket was released, Iverson picked it up.

Iverson threw the ball forward directly.

After Lin Ying landed, he lowered his head and rushed forward in two steps to reach the ball.

Then, he was galloping alone on the Hulunbuir prairie.

In fact, he is not satisfied with his speed at all. During the joint trial, he sprinted 3.29 in the 3/4 half, and his weight gain was a little slow but not much slower.

Amid the cheers of the surrounding fans, Lin Ying quickly broke into the frontcourt and performed a one-arm tomahawk dunk.

Well, this is already the limit of his bounce now.

The long arms are still useful when doing buckles.

If you want to perform a dunk, you need to practice more jumping.

But that's enough!

The moment he hit the ball into the basket, the Pepsi Center was filled with cheers from Denver fans.

Defensively blocking shots, speeding up the attack and dunking, you are the first among the top five goals today! Denver's true core, Lin Huang!

And the Nuggets were looking to gain momentum. After Yao Ming's mid-range miss, the Nuggets launched another defensive counterattack, and Smith followed up with a layup.

17 to 21!

The Nuggets narrowed the point difference to 4 points!

There are still 2 minutes left before the end of the first quarter. They have a chance to tie or even overtake the score before the end of the first quarter!

At this time, there were substitutions on both sides.

On the Rockets side, Yao Ming, Shane Battier, and Alston are all gone, and Scola, Bunch Wells, and Francis are up.

For the Nuggets, Atkins, Najera and Kleiza came up to replace Iverson, Nene and Martin.

McGrady reached the frontcourt and continued to ask for the ball.

And this time he attacked facing the frame.

Lin Ying was a little helpless now, McGrady's first step was too fast.

Maybe you can only feel that kind of speed if you play against him.

And the most important thing is that he has long steps, one step ahead of others and two steps ahead, and he can easily pass him by.

However, Lin Ying did not give up. He chased after him from behind and jumped up the moment McGrady got up to go for a layup.

Come on, Antetokounmpo blocks version 2.0 of Anthony!

Well, he's overthinking it.

Tracy McGrady felt Lin Ying's block behind him, jumped up and used a drift lever in the air to move to the right side of the basket and easily wiped the board and scored.

The back injury only affected his strength, not his jumping.

Historically, McGrady's fast break shot that was blocked by the basket was not due to a back injury, but a knee injury.

Sure enough, it's not that easy to guard against.

However, Lin Ying did not have any mood swings just because he failed to defend the ball.

Even Tracy McGrady during the Pistons-Hawks era was not easy to guard.

Looking back, Lin Ying and Smith started to cooperate with each other.

Smith ran back to get rid of Francis, and was led by Lin Ying's alley ball to take off, which was a mid-air folding reverse dunk.gif!

Whistles were everywhere.

After playing so many games, they have discovered that Lin Ying is Smith’s key to unlocking Jordan’s mode!

Karl was leaning back in his chair and feeling very relaxed at this time.

Lin Ying's alley ball just now was passed quickly and accurately, and was not affected by the defensive failure at all. This kind of psychological quality is really rare.

In the last few dozen seconds of the first quarter, Tracy McGrady attacked Lin Ying again.

Lin Ying made a small move this time, but just as Yao Ming expected before the game, he was taken care of by the referee and was directly called for a foul.

McGrady made two free throws.

Fortunately, Smith brought the knife with him in the last attack and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer after receiving a pass from Lin Ying.

20 to 23.

The Nuggets entered the timeout with a 3-point deficit.

In other words, after Lin Ying came on the court, the Nuggets came back with 7 points!

Judging from the cheers from the fans when he came off the field, Denver fans must love him to death.

Back in the second quarter, Karl replaced Lin Ying with Anthony.

This wave of substitutions is very interesting, because not letting Lin Ying play the first few minutes of the second quarter means letting him play the next few minutes!

That’s usually the time to fight!

And using Anthony to start the second quarter may even give the Nuggets a chance to take the lead into the second half, when the main force comes back and makes another wave...

Well, when Karl didn't say it.

Anthony was left out for most of the quarter, and he chatted about life with Karl. His offensive desire came back, but his touch didn't come back!

He led the team to play for more than 3 minutes, 23 to 30.

Good guy, don't talk about being ahead, the point difference has been widened even wider!

The fans at the scene were shocked by this.

Originally, false leaders and real leaders were just a joke.

But Anthony's performance is really...
Chapter completed!
