Chapter 408 Now we have two Jordans

"In the way I'm familiar with?"

Smith didn't understand what Lin Ying said.

"I think compared to your style of play, what Coach Karl can't tolerate more is losing."

After Lin Ying finished speaking, he added,

"Of course, so do the fans."

In competitive sports, food is the original sin.

If you don't eat food, many things can be tolerated.

"I see."

Smith was instantly awakened.

"But you have to be serious about your defense. You know Coach Karl actually cares about this the most."

Lin Ying did not forget to remind.

I don't know why Smith doesn't like to defend after all. If this makes Smith score points like when he returned to the Heat, it will be counterproductive.

Smith nodded.

He's not very good at defensive things, but he can try to do it.



It's a little lively in Brooklyn tonight.

The Heat have performed surprisingly well this season.

This past summer, they acquired Afflalo through a three-way trade in the Caron Butler trade.

Afflalo's partnership with Anthony proved to be effective when he was with the Nuggets.

In the past two years, his defense has declined slightly, but his scoring methods have increased, and he is called by fans as the person who plays most like Kobe.

Basketball games are not just a matter of size. The Nets, who are in a bad state, will face the Heat, who are in good form. Who will win is also a topic worthy of attention.

And in addition to the clichéd entanglement between Lin Ying and Anthony, JR Smith is also added to it.

Smith and the Heat were not happy about the contract extension.

Especially when he finally chose to switch to the Nets under the same contract, the relationship between him and Anthony became very tense.

And it is precisely Smith who is now facing his old employer in a depressed state, so this point has become a cause for concern.

If the Nets cannot rebound in this game, the morale of the team's title defense will be very obvious.

A lively and very important game.

During the warm-up before the game, live footage showed Anthony.

Melon’s smile is warm and pure!

His current scoring average is second only to Lin Ying, and the team's record is good. He is living a pretty good life these days.

And now that the Nets are in bad shape, he still has a chance to win this important matchup, which is even better than happiness.

After the warm-up of both sides ended, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the lineups were announced one after another.

Heat: Lawson, Afflalo, Batum, Anthony, McGee.

Lin Ying was stunned for a moment unconsciously when he saw this.

He hadn't noticed before, but this wasn't the Miami track and field team!

It's just that the coach of the track and field team is now with the Nets.

The Nets still have their regular five: Deron, Butler, Johnson, Lin Ying, and Chandler.

McGee jumped high and moved the ball back to the Heat half, and the game officially began.

Lawson came up and played a pick-and-roll with McGee, and after splitting the ball, he went straight to the basket.

He is quite fast, but the Nets shrink faster.

However, his passing vision is also really good. After the confrontation, he directly stuffed the ball to McGee in the middle.

McGee caught the ball and took off directly.

"Bang!"

With a two-handed dunk, McGee pushed the ball into the basket like a volleyball!

From the neck down, Olajuwon is known as Olajuki!

The Heat come out on top!

Looking back, Lin Ying first found a touch for his teammates, and the sudden score after the pick-and-roll was given to Johnson.

Johnson shook his hand.

"Dang!"

No.

This kind of sluggish state caused by physical reasons cannot be recovered without a little time.

Anthony jammed Lin Ying with his fat butt and grabbed the defensive rebound.

What Lin Ying didn't expect was that he immediately passed the ball forward.

The one who caught the ball was... Lawson!

If you don't like passing the ball, you don't like passing the ball, but you still have to separate people.

As Anthony's close drinking buddy, Lawson was happy to pass on the news if he had the chance.

With two Hot Wheels at his feet, Lawson rushed to the frontcourt and scored a layup.

At least in history, he was the boss of the Denver Track and Field Team!

4 to 0!

The Heat turned the tables.

Deron tried to retaliate with his shot after the pick-and-roll, but it still went wide.

This time the Nets didn't let the Heat's fast break start, but after moving into position, Anthony caught the ball and shot from mid-range.

"Whoa!"

Yes!

6 to 0!

Anthony's signature three-finger headshot after scoring.

The smile on his fat face makes him even more charming.

There was a commotion in the place.

In last year's opening game, the Nets defeated the Heat by a full 60 points!

The tiger fell down and was bullied by the dog!

Lin Ying caught the ball in the frontcourt, his eyes focused, and he directly entered the white-hot space.

He took a violent step past Batum, then dodged and dunked between Anthony and McGee and smashed the ball into the basket!

This goal completely ignited the emotions of the fans at Barclays Center.

Fortunately, they still have the God of Basketball!

Lin Ying frowned slightly in pain after dunking.

The injury to his finger is still affecting him.

But this is also part of his basketball "willpower" practice.

Just like last year's finals, the playoffs can sometimes be unimaginably cruel, and no one can always be healthy.

Jordan's battle with the flu and winning the game despite various injuries are all manifestations of his willpower in the game.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, the score was 14-all.

Although Lin Ying entered a white-hot state and kept scoring, the Heat's state this season is indeed good.

Especially these few, it seems they are destined to play together and they are destined to play well.

In the round on the court, Lin Ying's breakthrough caused damage, and he secretly flicked his hand at the free throw line.

"beep!"

Just then there was a short whistle from the sidelines.

JR Smith came in to relieve Joe Johnson.

This substitution came earlier than usual, and Smith took a deep breath when he came on the field.

There was a commotion in the place.

The Nets' state tonight is no different from past games.

Others still haven't found their form yet, and the team is relying on Lin Ying to support themselves.

Lin Ying is very strong, but it makes people feel distressed just to look at him.

But now Smith is on...

Johnson's condition is not very good, at least the defense is still online.

But Smith is really unable to attack and defend this season. Can this substitution not make people panic?

However, after Lin Ying turned around and saw it was Smith, he didn't rush to take the free throw.

When Smith came up, he high-fived Smith, gave Smith a look, and then started taking free throws.

This small detail on the field was captured by the photographer and put on the large LED screen.

This also gave fans who were originally worried some hope.

Maybe Smith will be a little different tonight?

Lin Ying made two free throws to help the Nets take the lead again.

In the Heat's round, Afflalo took advantage of the pick-and-roll and Smith was blocked by McGee.

Lawson passed the ball and Afflalo took the ball and made a Kobe-style pull-up jump shot.

"Whoa!"

The basketball fell steadily into the bag.

The Heat evened the score again!

During the transition between offense and defense, Lin Ying's shot after breaking through to the basket was so painful that he missed it unconsciously.

It's really troublesome to hurt your shooting hand.

However, he quickly took off twice to grab the offensive rebound, and then threw it to Smith who was open on the outside.

Smith had a chance to get the ball, but he hesitated, and Batum, who was added, knocked the ball out of bounds.

The Nets still have the ball, but the offensive opportunity is gone.

There was a commotion in the place.

After the attack and defense ended, the fans who were still looking forward to Smith could only smile bitterly.

Why do they still have expectations for Smith?

"It's okay, believe in yourself."

At this time, Lin Ying walked to Smith and comforted him.

Smith's body tensed up, and he had the urge to go up and hug Lin Ying, but in the end he nodded firmly.

Previously in Denver, he was a veteran and Lin Ying was a newcomer, so there was no talk of trust or distrust.

Now in Brooklyn, Lin Ying is a super giant and he is a homeless person. This trust is like providing help in times of need, making a difference in time!

Lin Ying trusts him, so what reason does he have to distrust himself?

The ball came out from the frontcourt, Lin Ying broke through and was flanked. After he passed through, he also encountered a bad opportunity to block.

He flicked the ball again and passed it to Smith.

Because he didn't dare to shoot from the front, the Heat didn't pay much attention to his defense at this time, and he got an excellent shot opportunity.

Smith jumped up to shoot with a firm gaze.

The basketball seemed to be carrying his belief, streaking through the air with a tail flame.

"Whoa!"

Directly through the basket!

Smith's three-pointer went in!

The Barclays Center was instantly excited!

Smith's three-pointer was not difficult, but the key was to make it.

What the hell is a surprise? What the hell is a surprise!

16 to 19!

"Defend! Defend!"

This surprise ignited the fans' emotions, and under the leadership of the DJ, the Barclays Center rang out with uniform cheers and cheers.

The Heat still have a problem with Afflalo.

Smith's pick-and-roll still didn't go around.

Although defense is simpler than offense, it doesn't mean it will get better if it gets better.

Fortunately, Chandler's goal was extended early.

Afflalo had no direct chance to score when he received the ball.

At this time, McGee was in the low post with his back to Smith, asking for the ball.

Afflalo pulled Chandler to the three-point line and then passed the ball inside.

But the next scene is a bit funny.

Although Smith's defensive level is poor, his enthusiasm was definitely there tonight.

He was weak in the low post but hard to defend, so he directly exerted force on McGee's waist, trying to push McGee out of the bottom line.

The result was good, McGee was so pushed that his center of gravity was a little unstable and he failed to catch Afflalo's pass!

Here comes a big embarrassment!

This made the fans laugh. They didn't know that it was Smith who defended the ball, but McGee gave one as a friendly gift.

But now they are sure that their previous feeling was correct.

Smith is indeed a little different tonight!

It’s the same as Lin Ying’s answer in the previous interview, what can you tell if you haven’t played less than 10 games?

Let the bullet fly for a while longer!

Spoelstra stood up from the bench and reminded the players of their defensive positions.

Originally, the two teams had been in a stalemate at the beginning, but now Smith suddenly came out to break the deadlock, and the situation was somewhat unfavorable to the Heat.

Lin Ying held the ball again and accelerated directly into the inside.

At this time, Smith's role was highlighted. Because he made a three-pointer, the Heat did not dare to let him go, and the defense did not dare to tighten up too much.

Lin Ying rushed directly into the inside line in the white-hot space.

This time, he rushed in and switched the ball to his left hand in the air and smashed it into the basket!

Just show off!

But his left hand was not injured, so this is a good idea!

After Lin Ying dunked, he turned around and gave Smith a high-five.

As a result, he remembered to change hands when shooting, but forgot to high-five, and he grinned in pain.

But he was still in a happy mood.

If Smith can regain some form, he will feel a lot more relaxed!

At this time, the two sides began to officially enter the rotation.

On the Heat's side, Anthony and Lawson both came off the court to rest, and were replaced by Sessions and Haslem.

On the Nets side, Deron and Chandler also went down and were replaced by Barbosa and O'Neal Jr.

Sessions used McGee's pick-and-roll to break through the basket and get rid of O'Neal's layup.

O'Neal Jr. still has a mid-range attack, but his defense is indeed a bit like a wooden stake.

The Nets center position currently seems to be much weaker than last season.

18 to 21.

Still a 3 point difference.

The two teams continue to be in a stalemate!

After Anthony came off the court, the Heat's defensive rotation improved. Lin Ying made a sudden move and had no chance to come out again.

Moreover, the Heat defended very decisively on the perimeter, directly holding Lin Ying between the two of them.

Lin Ying decisively gave the ball to Smith.

The Heat have a defensive rotation, and according to previous games, Smith must have passed the ball.

But he hit this shot!

He faked a change of direction, took a step in the opposite direction, lifted up against the three-point line and shot.

At this moment, the fans at the scene were shocked.

Smith just made a three-pointer and started to become wild!

Karl also frowned.

But soon, his brows widened.

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound!

Smith's three-pointer scored again!

This is it, the vote is open!

The scene was filled with excitement again.

Moreover, it was even stronger than the previous one.

They suddenly discovered that this was the JR Smith they wanted to see!

And the more burning one is Smith.

After scoring the three-pointer against Batum, Smith faced the audience, put his left hand behind his back, held his right hand in a gentlemanly circle in front of his body, and then bowed to the fans!

Here comes one of Smith’s classic celebrations!

In history, Trae Young was resented for doing this to New York fans and was nicknamed the "Mayor of New York."

But in fact, this action was Smith’s celebration in the early years!

18 to 24!

The score difference suddenly came to 6 points!

Three-pointers are always the fastest way to open the score!

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans cheered again, but this time it was the fans who shouted spontaneously!

The Nets' defensive enthusiasm has improved significantly.

"Dang!"

Lawson's outside three-pointer hit.

The ball was a long backboard. Lin Ying quickly grabbed the backboard with quick eyes and hands, then turned around and swung it forward immediately.

With familiar movements and a familiar figure, Smith stepped forward and passed everyone, and after receiving the ball, he rushed forward.

Here we come, the long-lost "91 Group"!

After receiving the ball, Smith rushed to the frontcourt, jumped into the air two meters away from the basket, and turned around while rounding the ball.

"Bang!"

180° turn around the windmill!

Barclays Center was completely filled with cheers in the next second.

Tonight, they have two "Jordans"!
Chapter completed!
