"Magician, we have witnessed another miracle."

Mike Brin said with emotion after coming back to his senses.

"No."

Johnson shook his head.

Both Brin and Buckley looked at him curiously.

"It's not that he's performing miracles, it's that he's capable of doing them."

What Johnson said is very profound.

Brin thought for a while before he understood and nodded.

Buckley frowned unconsciously.

He felt that his position as No. 1 Lin Chui had a new threat!

After Johnson finished speaking, he realized that it seemed inappropriate for him as a Lakers star to say this.

But he wanted to say something more, but found that he didn't seem to know what to say.

After all, Lin Ying's 23 points eclipsed Kobe's 19 points.

If it weren't for Lin Ying, Kobe's 19 points would be worth bragging about.

At halftime, the Nets led the Lakers 52-45.

Although Lin Ying scored 35 points at halftime, the point difference was still not big.

However, what can be felt is that the Nets' entire game momentum is completely different.

If it weren't for Kobe's 19-point performance in a single quarter, the Nets would have pulled away in the second quarter.

When I came back from the intermission, this state of affairs became even more obvious.

Or to use another more vivid way of saying it.

In the first quarter, the Lakers were on offense and the Nets were on defense.

After Paul retired from injury, they started attacking each other.

But in the second half, it became the Nets' offense and the Lakers' defense!

And the thunder laid in the first quarter also exploded at this time.

The Lakers' inside line began to fall into a foul crisis!

After Sloan consciously adjusted his offensive strategy and attacked the basket more, Gasol and Gortat left the game due to foul problems.

The Nets' advantage is expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the end of the third quarter, the Nets had extended their lead to double digits.

However, the Lakers are not easily defeated.

Kobe was on the field as soon as the fourth quarter opened.

His spirit inspired his teammates and infected the fans.

The Staples Center was filled with cheers and cheers.

This battle at Tianwang Mountain is so important.

The Lakers once narrowed the point difference to 5 points, and the two sides also entered the final decisive moment.

This section was more tragic than anyone imagined.

Gasol was sent off, Yi Jianlian was hit and his eyebrows were broken, Mayo came off the field with his feet sprained, and even Lin Ying ate dried radish.

However, fans can still feel that as their physical fitness is exhausted in advance, the Lakers' resistance gradually weakens under the Nets' offensive.

As Lin Ying once broke through 2+1 and made a free throw to widen the point difference to double digits, the outcome of the game lost its suspense.

The two sides fought to the last moment. Kobe's last three-pointer narrowed the point difference to 6 points, but it could no longer change the outcome.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Lakers 103-97 and won this crucial battle at Tianwang Mountain!

Paul's injury made this game full of drama and topic.

But what attracts more attention is the scoring battle between Lin Ying and Kobe Bryant.

Kobe made 14 of 27 shots from the field and 5 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 43 points, breaking his own 40-point Finals single-game scoring record in 2009.

But this performance ultimately became a supporting role.

Because tonight’s protagonist is Lin Ying!

Lin Ying made 18 of 30 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 17 of 22 free throws. He scored 58 points!

58 points in a single game in the finals!

Lin Ying not only broke his personal playoff scoring record of 51 points set in the Eastern Conference Finals, but also broke Jordan's single-game scoring record in the Finals (55 points).

In NAB history, only Elgin Baylor (61 points) has a name ahead of him!

And his 23-point performance in the second quarter was also second only to Isaiah Thomas' 25-point performance in a single quarter.

After the game, while his teammates were celebrating, Lin Ying... got his hamstring stepped on.

He suffered cramps immediately after the game.

This is a sign of excessive fatigue.

Although the data is very satisfying, I started to fight from the first quarter and continued to fight until the fourth quarter.

Being able to fight until the end of the game without getting cramps is considered an excellent training effect by Grover.

Moreover, the reaction was so great that Lin Ying's body twitched with pain.

Delong looked on with a feeling of heartache.

It's hard to imagine what Lin Ying would become if he continued to fight, and whether he would even be injured.

After a while, Lin Ying stood up with the help of the team doctor and moved around for a while to regain his composure.

At this moment, a familiar figure broke into the field of vision.

That man!

The intersection between Lin Ying and Jordan has been around for a long time. It can be traced back to the crazy three games when the University of Texas and the University of North Carolina played against each other.

But that's all in the air.

This is the first time that the two of them face each other in real life.

"Good job."

Jordan stretched out his hand to congratulate him.

Lin Ying also shook hands with Jordan and bumped shoulders, accepting Jordan's congratulations.

In the field of basketball, there are too many latecomers trying to chase or even surpass Jordan in various ways.

Lin Ying may also set this goal one day in the future.

Of course he won't shout out.

Because it would be ridiculous to say you want to surpass an undisputed GOAT before you can do it.

After all, fans are watching football and are not blind.

"Are you free in the summer? Let's play golf together?"

The previous congratulations were something Lin Ying thought of, but the following invitation was something Lin Ying didn't expect.

"Although I can't play golf, I can learn."

Lin Ying nodded and said.

He hasn't come into contact with Jordan yet, so it's not a bad thing to come into contact with him. What if... he can pick up some skills?

This sentence immediately amused Jordan.

You are very good at it!

He nodded, took out a business card from his pocket and gave it to Lin Ying, made a gesture of calling, then hugged the young model and left.

He is in a good mood to play ball now.

…

Social media was abuzz after the game.

"I would like to call Barkley the number one Lin Chuan! He killed Paul to death!"

"Actually, I want to say is this retribution? Deron was injured by Paul, and then he injured himself by trying to pull Lin."

"Small moves... Although short players need them to survive, they are indeed deserved. That is to say, Lin has strong balance in the air, otherwise Lin would be injured."

"Lin is incredible! He gave me a different feeling tonight than before in the Eastern Conference. He not only showed his ability, but also his will to compete!"

"Many people only focused on the impact of Paul's injury on the game and ignored Lin's role in the first quarter. Without Lin, the Lakers would have penetrated the Nets in the first quarter."
