This Forward is Not Serious

All four groups of the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals have been determined, and the games will begin in two days.

The Celtics and Hawks in the East, the Suns and Spurs in the West.

Compared to the Eastern Conference, the West is a group of entangled opponents with much more to watch.

To put it in a slightly literary way:

The grievances between the Suns and the Spurs can be written into a book, because Lin Ying's joining will start a new chapter.

In the video room after training that day, Lin Ying and Allen were studying the video there again.

Allen studied Parker and Ginobili, while Lin Ying studied Mason.

Mason is unknown in history. He was the No. 31 pick in the same class as Yao Ming. He was eliminated from the NBA after just two years due to injuries and later went to Europe to play.

Later, he was re-employed in the NBA and performed well with the Wizards. Two years ago, Popovich spotted him and was recruited to the Spurs, where he performed the best performance of his career.

Mason can be considered an inspirational player in history, but now it is obvious that because of the emergence of Lin Ying, something has changed.

So he needs to re-examine this player.

He even found the video of Zhu Fangyu knocking down Mason last season.

After watching it, Lin Ying's first feeling was that Mason was "immature" in this aspect.

Compared with his "senior brothers" Bowen and Horry, he is just a rookie.

It seems that Popovich should have no one available, and then he forced himself to find someone who was willing to do his bidding.

This is also reasonable.

As Stern becomes more and more concerned about the league's reputation, the living space of dirty players in the NBA is becoming increasingly compressed.

Players who dare to do that will most likely bear the risk of losing their jobs.

Or in other words, it is impossible for an NBA coach to keep a player's job for a lifetime, but if he does, he may actually lose his job.

Therefore, players like Mason who have little chance in the NBA and who received a relatively large contract with the Spurs are the easiest to be deceived.

After watching the video, Lin Ying felt more confident.

It takes a lot of effort to deal with a player like Bowen, but it's much easier to deal with this one.

Just after watching it, the door to the video room was pushed open, and the person who came in was Da Ben.

"Lin, they said you were here."

Da Ben came to see Lin Ying.

Lin Ying went out with a puzzled look on his face.

"I still have a secret weapon I haven't taught you."

Although Lin Ying didn't know what the so-called secret weapon was, he was still very excited to hear it.

This is similar to those old monsters in seclusion behind the cliff who want to teach their unique skills.

Moreover, Ben did not take him to the team's training hall, but took him to another private training hall that he had rented before.

This made him mysterious and made him even more curious about the so-called secret weapon.

After waiting, when Ben began to teach, his jaw almost dropped.

That was actually a skill called..."Rebounding and elbowing people"!

Why is the prefix "rebound" added in front of elbow man?

Because it involves intentional and unintentional issues.

If you simply elbow someone, the referee will not let you go.

But if you elbow someone while grabbing a rebound, is that an elbow person? It was because I accidentally hit someone while trying to grab a rebound. It was not intentional!

There is a lot to say here.

Especially when a tall guy is rebounding with a short guy, it's really hard to tell.

Lin Ying, is studying very seriously!

Here is a relatively high-level example, the study of two bombs.

Qian Lao has a very classic saying: There are two different things if you don’t have a sword in your hand and if you have a sword and don’t use it!

No? When someone hits you, you can only take the beating passively. Even if you resist, you may die together.

But yes, others will be jealous and afraid!

Moreover, Lin Ying found that this thing looked simple, but it was really very particular.

It's right to think about it. For a guy as short as Ben, no matter how good he can jump, he can't grab so many rebounds just by relying on his skills. He must be a deterrent.

The elbow is undoubtedly the best tool.

This is not exclusive to Big Ben. Malone, O'Neal, and even Rodman, almost all the "tough" players of the last century, all know this traditional skill.

Of course, it depends on how it is used. If it is really treated as a "nuclear weapon", it will not be easy to use the sword, and it will not be active.

Malone's direct use of it as a conventional weapon, and Bynum's active and unrestricted use of it are both shameless.

After the practice, the two sat and chatted, and Ben also talked about the reason why he wanted to find Lin Ying.

Because the whole team was watching the game, he could tell at a glance that Mason did it on purpose.

He couldn't get on the field himself, so he had to "pass" the moves to others who could.

Everyone on the Suns team is a gentleman, and the newcomer Butler has proven to have no "thorny" attributes at all.

In comparison, Lin Ying, who elbowed Horry, punched Bowen, and had the utmost understanding, was naturally the only and best candidate.

After getting Ben's "secret weapon", Lin Ying became more confident in the next series with the Spurs.

And just like he has done this season, he is not going to be passive this time.

He even remembered the anime he had seen before called "Under One Person".

Why did the Heavenly Master inside come down the mountain?

Not only to avenge my junior brother, but also to tell others:

If you dare to touch Zhang Chulan, I will destroy all of you!

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the conference semifinals officially kicked off.

The game between the Celtics and the Hawks started first.

The Eagles gave the Celtics a chill as soon as they came up.

83 to 82.

In a defensive battle, "Modern Jordan" Joe Johnson directly sealed the throat with his sword and gave the Celtics a defeat.

Does Tony Allen matter?

It doesn't seem that important.

But does it matter without Tony Allen?

It’s actually quite important!

In this year's playoffs in history, Allen played a very good defensive performance throughout the playoffs.

It was that performance that earned him a three-year contract with the Grizzlies after the season.

So the Celtics are sure to beat the Hawks?

With Johnson, this matter is really special!

There was a good show in the Eastern Conference at the beginning, and the fans' appetite was whetted, and their expectations for the next game were even higher.

Because the Spurs are Black Seven, the Suns have home court advantage in this series, and the series will start with Phoenix.

In the latest show, Barkley stopped pretending and went straight to a showdown.

"It's time for revenge!"

That fierce expression was definitely his rare serious expression.

The Suns fans had already done enough mobilization before the game. On the game day, when the fans entered the arena outside the arena, they all had "Avenger" expressions on their faces.

Suns locker room.

The expressions of most of the team members today were unprecedentedly serious.

Even Richardson and Barbosa stopped joking.

"Are you too nervous?"

The straightforward Butler couldn't help but say.

"Caron, we are not nervous, we are excited."

Richardson spoke.

"ah?"

This was the first time Butler had seen someone so serious because of excitement.

"When you are defeated by an opponent in a row and finally get a chance for revenge, you will be speechless with excitement."

Richardson went on to explain, with some longing in his eyes when he said this.

Butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

That seems to be the case.

Especially someone like Richardson, who was last defeated by the Spurs when he was with the Suns, five years ago.

For players, five years is half of most players’ careers.

Having such an opportunity now is indeed very, very rare.

"Okay, brothers, let's give them a head-on attack!"

Nash stood up and held out his hand.

He's rarely been so proactive in the locker room.

But after others heard it, they folded their hands on it one after another.

"Suns!"

"Must win!"

After shouting slogans, a group of people jumped from the locker room.

Lin Ying is also gearing up.

Of course it would be best if nothing happened in this match.

…

"I think the Spurs have just finished the tiebreaker and are in good shape and have a good chance of winning the first game."

At the game, Barkley was already in full swing.

Milk is too direct.

"If the Spurs can finally win the championship, they will become a more legendary team than the Rockets."

Perhaps he felt that the amount of milk was not enough, so he took a supplement.

On the sidelines, Popovich was also being interviewed by reporters.

"The Suns are different from before. They now have a strong ability to attack tough positions. To defeat them, we must show 580%."

"Gentry is the most talented coach I have ever worked with. I should have kept him at the beginning. Now I am no match for him."

Crazy tits here too.

Before the game even started, both sides were throwing poisoned milk in the air.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

By the time the Suns players came on the field, the fans at the scene were already overcome with emotion. The cheers soared into the sky, as if they were about to lift off the roof of the arena.

A sea of ​​orange!

Not only the Suns players, but also these fans can't wait!

In five years, many of them have entered the society from students, and some have also become veterans from newbies in the workplace.

But what remains unchanged is the passion for basketball!

Whether or not they win the championship may be a bit far away for them, but the most important thing at the moment is to defeat the Spurs! Revenge Spurs!

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, the Suns players couldn't help but take a deep breath.

bring it on! bring it on!

After the opening ceremony, the starters for both teams were announced one after another.

Spurs: Parker, George Hill, Richard Jefferson, Duncan, Antonio McDyess

Suns: Nash, Richardson, Butler, Lin Ying, Stoudemire

When Xiaosi found Lin Ying, he hit his chest, roared, and started walking wearing goggles!

Jump ball in the center circle.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Stoudemire installed a spring and jumped up, directly over Duncan's head and moved the ball back to the Suns' half.

The home team attacks first!

Nash came up and started a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

The Spurs also responded quickly, bypassing the pick-and-roll without changing.

Then Nash rode on horseback and shot an arrow from mid-range.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hits the net!

The Suns came out on top.

And returning to the defensive end, the Suns played a very targeted defensive method, pinching the main offensive end, and then letting McDyess play.

McDyess caught the ball and shot from the top of the arc.

"Dang!"

Off the mark!

Although this is his attack range, as he is about to retire, he is obviously not used to being the main attack point at the beginning.

Stoudemire grabbed a defensive rebound and the Suns advanced quickly.

But the Spurs are familiar with the Suns and can retreat quickly.

Nash seemed to be holding the ball with a steady hand, glanced at the far end, and then suddenly changed direction and headed towards the basket.

This was caught off guard, and only Hill had time to keep up.

Nash protected the ball and after a confrontation with Hill, he succeeded in a layup!

He scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

The cheers of the fans at the scene were completely unbearable.

It's rare for them to see Nash attack so hard at the beginning!

Even the young Nash would not attack like this. It can only be said that he held it in for the longest and had the strongest desire!

McDyess continued to be left open, and his continued mid-range shots still failed!

The Suns are really giving him a hard time!

This time it was Xiaomi who caught Duncan, and Lin Ying collected the defensive rebound.

With a quick pass, Nash got the ball and ran forward.

The long hair is floating!

Still the same boy as before!

Nash made a one-stop fast break, faked a pass to the sideline, and made a layup after confronting Parker.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded and Parker was called for a blocking foul.

"Dang!"

The ball bounced off the edge of the basket... and fell into the net bag!

2+1!

Nash scored 6 points in the opening game!

Stoudemire and Richardson went over and pulled Nash up immediately.

Xiao Si roared excitedly.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but stand up and cheer.

Nash went crazy at the beginning!

Lin Ying arrived late, but she also felt the truest and most primitive desire.

Just like Stoudemire said in the locker room, they have waited too long for this day of revenge!

Of course, the cheers from the Suns fans at the scene showed that they had waited too long for this day!

Nash licked his hands, touched the soles of his shoes, and made a steady hit with extra penalties.

7 to 0!

The Suns had a perfect start!

And the creator of this opening comes from the loyal Steve Nash!

McDyess was left open again and didn't dare to attack.

There are only three things to do, he waits for Parker to run over to get the ball and then does a pick-and-roll.

Parker's shot to break through the basket was deflected by interference. At the critical moment, Duncan stepped up and grabbed the offensive rebound and made a tip-in.

This is how the Spurs broke their scoring drought at the beginning!

Then it was Duncan again. The defensive end interfered with Butler's shot, and then turned around to grab the defensive rebound.

However, Duncan caught the ball again on the offensive end and received a big block from Stoudemire!

The ball was blocked directly into Richardson's hands.

Richardson flicked the ball to Nash, and then quickly ran down the wing.

Because of Nash's continuous scoring, the Spurs' defensive focus automatically tilted toward him when they retreated.

Nash directly performed a long pass from behind, and Richardson caught the ball and shot a three-pointer!

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

Nash, Stoudemire, Richardson...

The "old men" of the Suns team were extremely active!

Parker finally made something, using Duncan's cover to hit a mid-range shot.

But in the next round, Stoudemire and Nash caught the ball and went straight to the basket after a pick-and-roll, facing Duncan directly.

"Bang!"

In the eyes of the fans at the scene, Stoudemire performed a domination on Duncan!

A huge muffled sound came through the loudspeaker, and accompanied by Stoudemire's iconic bow arm roar, the visual effect exploded.

The cheers at the scene could not be contained again!

4 to 12!

Popovich had been beaten to his feet.

But he still couldn't bear to pause.

Then, Duncan was called for a screen foul during the offensive pick-and-roll!

Then, Lin Ying finally found Hill out of position, and after being flanked, he decisively returned the ball to Nash.

Nash got the ball and directly pulled up and shot a three-pointer!

This is a scoring version of Nash that many fans have never seen!

"Uh-huh!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of entering the network.

Nash's three-pointer, score again! !

4 to 15!

Popovich reached out and called a timeout.

Really, Bengbu is here!
