Chapter 58: Confrontation of the Eastern Alliance

The Cavaliers made changes, but Linson did not appear, but played a small lineup. Tristan Thompson and James began to partner with the inside, and David Bugat had no trust in Linson at all.

But the Bulls immediately made a very beautiful response. Noah's appearance further restricted James's damage in the inside. TT's offensive ability, which is even more clumsy than Lin Sen, is even more needless to talk about. Apart from the pick-and-roll, you may not be able to see him score in another way on the court.

His advantage lies in frontcourt rebounds, but under the protection of Noah, the former best defensive player, he has no chance to grab rebounds at all. TT is completely limited. Noah's sense of positioning and protection of rebounds have left the Cavaliers' small lineup with no way to attack the inside.

Mo Williams is no longer the one who joined James to the All-Star. He only has the indomitable momentum of the past, but he has no matching ability. After all, he is already 35 years old, and he is no longer the one who can bring the Bucks into the playoffs with both balls and swings.

The Cavaliers fell into the Bulls' strong defense throughout the first half. With Ross' offensive ability deteriorated, Butler also had the most All-Star level, so even if the Bulls made big moves this year, they thought more about relying on defense to win first.

This year, the new coach took office, Thibodeau left the Bulls he built. The Bulls' instinctive defense has not been forgotten. Their defense has split the Cavaliers' single-core James, and Love's personal ability has not given the Cavaliers a good chance. After losing weight, he is no longer the big killer in the inside. Love's in the Timberwolves was once one of the inside players who made the most fouls per game.

Lin Sen's first half was extremely boring. He helplessly acted as the captain of the towel team. After all, he was a rookie, the captain of the backpack team off the field and the captain of the towel team on the field. Lin Sen had to do all these things honestly.

However, these spiritual encouragement was obviously useless. At 47:59, the Cavaliers were scored a double-digit score difference in the first half, and defense became the biggest gap between the two teams.

During the halftime break, the visiting team's locker room was almost silent. David Blatt wanted to lose his temper, but he didn't know how to start with him. He relied on Mozkov. He wanted to give this former apprentice many opportunities, but his performance was not satisfactory.

David Blatt understands one thing that the Cavaliers management will not give him too many opportunities. If the Cavaliers cannot show competitiveness for the championship in the first few dozen games of the regular season, then David Griffin will not mind changing a coach.

"Lin! You start in the second half!" David Blatt's voice at this time was like a natural sound to Lin Sen. He finally got the chance to play.

"Don't worry! Coach, I will definitely not let you down." Lin Sen hadn't played a formal game for too long. At this time, he felt that his body was a little rusted. It took a passionate game to relieve his moldy body.

However, Lin Sen's appearance was not favored by many people, including many Cavaliers fans.

In the current league, it is a fact that the West is strong and the East is weak. There are several top teams in the West. In the East, only the Cavaliers, the Big Three team, is considered top-notch. The Pacers who were entangled with the Heat in the past few seasons can also be considered as the Pacers. However, since the injury of the core Paul George, the other five tigers have gone away, scattered, and declined, the East has only James' team has extremely high competitiveness in the championship Shanghai.

But the East also has a great advantage over the West. That is their persistence in physical confrontation. Anyone who wants to win the playoff team that has been in the East has to use ice to compress your body after the game.

Lin Sen's appearance is not a good time. His physical weakness is notorious. It's okay to confront Gasol. After all, the latter is also a guy who was described by various media as "soft eggs" from the beginning, but Noah? This guy definitely has a manic factor in his heart, and it will burst out every time he plays with James.

In the first round of the court, Lin Sen was taught a hard lesson by the French center. Ross' breakthrough did not get much chance under James's assisting defense, and this layup was also disturbed. The basketball bounced on the basket twice and did not hit it.

Just when Lin Sen wanted to protect this backcourt rebound, but the huge force behind him made him unable to fully show his bounce. Noah exerted a strong force behind him, and directly pushed Lin Sen away behind him and got the rebound, and then poured the ball heavily into the basket.

"Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA. This is the first lesson I have taught you!" Noah has always been a passionate player. Every blocking and every dunk will make the Frenchman who should be elegant roar excitedly, and then sing all kinds of trash words to the opponent beside him.

Lin Sen was protesting directly to the referee. Obviously, in his opinion, this was definitely not a normal basketball move, but the referee seemed to ignore it. First, the referee always swears to the physical confrontation of the East when calling. Second, Lin Sen is just a second-round rookie, and his protest has no influence in front of the referee.

Lin Sen naturally attracted a lot of boos from the United Center. They even believed that the referee should give this young man who was ignorant of the world a T.

Lin Sen was helpless about such a scene. His physical confrontation was still his biggest weakness after he had been on the striking training for four months. Of course, a large part of the reason was that Lin Sen had to prevent his speed and bounce from falling down while improving his physical confrontation. This is his characteristic and his advantage.

"Don't be discouraged. Joe Jin is such a person. When he gets crazy, even Dwight can't do anything to him. There is nothing shameful about him robbing a frontcourt rebound. It's the first leg. This game is not over yet. You must be familiar with the confrontation belonging to the Eastern Conference!"
