Nba: My Power Is Invincible!

"The tasks in the second round are not easy either!"

"But I have [tank breakthrough] and [dream steps] to face Mutombo and Marbury, and I am very confident to complete the suppression on both ends of the offense and defense."

The game is about to begin.

On the field, Mad Dog Thomas came to Lin Yue and deliberately provoked~ said:

"Don't think that because you will become the best rookie of the season and are loved by the fans, you can do whatever you want. I will not let you continue to be arrogant, the best... rookie!!"

Lin Yue was not angry, smiled and turned around.

"Do you think you can rely on your old age to conquer the away fans? Old guy!!!"

Kurt Thomas was stunned and speechless.

He does look older.

Although he is only 31 years old, he looks 51 years old.

Like Uncle Mu, he can be called the two mysterious elders of the Knicks.

The wrinkles on your forehead really kill flies.

"Wow!"

Game start.

Knicks center Mutombo won the first offensive ball after the opening.

Chris Bosh has good jumping ability and wingspan.

But still couldn't skip Mutombo.

Stephon Marbury carries the ball to the frontcourt.

Passed to "Central Shooting King" Alan Houston on the right side.

Jaylen Rose immediately took a step forward and defended tightly inside the three-point line.

Don't give Houston any chance to make an easy move.

This season, Alan Houston averaged 18.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

The shooting percentage was 43.5% and the three-point shooting percentage was 43.1%.

The free throw shooting rate is as high as 91.3%, ranking fifth in the league.

The mid-range shot is Alan Houston's offensive ace.

The reason why Kevin O'Neal asked Jaylen Rose to face him.

Just to limit Houston's shooting.

Houston hit Jaylen Rose with his back twice without squeezing him away. He was full of surprise.

His core strength is outstanding.

Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve a true shooting percentage of 53.9% while mainly relying on shooting.

It's a pity that Jaylen Rose's physical condition is definitely the best among forwards and swingmen.

Speed ​​and height are well balanced.

Alan Houston is from the University of Tennessee.

After playing in the league for 11 seasons, his shooting skills and ability to draw fouls are very mature, and his basic skills are definitely strong enough.

His greatest strength is creating mismatches.

Few people can completely lock down Alan Houston.

Jaylen Rose's official height is 1.98 meters and his weight is 91 kilograms.

This season his weight has reached 95 kilograms.

Jaylen Rose's lower body strength is very good, and his waist and horse are integrated, so he is not easily squeezed out by Houston.

Jalen Rose also has defensive skills taught by Lin Yue.

While keeping the body's center of gravity as low as possible, he raised his elbows to support the opponent's waist.

This will make it difficult for the other party to exert force.

Alan Houston turned left forcefully and failed to escape the defense.

Finally, he chose a fadeaway jumper near the free throw line.

Jaylen Rose saw the right moment and jumped up to block the shot, seriously disrupting the shot.

The rebound was picked off by Lin Yue. Lin Yue's jumping speed after grabbing the rebound was amazing.

Raptors position battle.

Lin Yue first went to the left three-point line and started a high pick-and-roll with Alvin Williams.

Observe the position on the field after the cut.

Chris Bosh blocked Thomas with an off-ball screen, and the opportunity came out immediately.

The Raptors players are very skilled at using this tactic.

You have to run a lot every game.

In actual combat, it can always produce unexpected results.

Lin Yue received a pass from Alvin Williams at a 45-degree angle on the right side.

Kurt Thomas was blocked, and the 36-year-old Uncle Mu did not react in time enough and wanted to switch to guard Lin Yue.

Lin Yue went to the basket with a [tank breakthrough].

"boom!!"

Scored a dunk with both hands.

2:0₂

Lin Yue landed and roared.

The Raptors succeeded in their tactics from the beginning.

The Knicks attack, Marbury and Mutombo play pick-and-roll in the middle.

Attracting Alvin Williams to pursue the defense, he then distributed the ball to Mutombo who cut inside in the middle.

The latter used his 2.18-meter height advantage to run over Bosh for a layup.

Uncle Mu entered the penalty area three steps slowly and wanted to dunk with both hands.

"Snapped!"

Lin Yue rushed out from the side and blocked the ball.

Bosh immediately grabbed a backcourt rebound.

Although Lin Yue and Bosh are much shorter than Mutombo.

But reaction speed and cooperation completely prevailed.

He calls Mutombo the "mountain of Africa."

He was a very famous defensive center in the 1990s.

In his peak season, he averaged 4.5 blocks per game.

He was elected as the block leader 3 times in his career, became the best defensive player 4 times, and was selected to the best defensive team 6 times.

As his name suggests, at 2.18 meters tall, he really looks like a mountain standing in the penalty area.

Full of oppression.

The most important thing is that at 2.18 meters, his lateral movement speed far exceeds that of a player of this height.

Apart from some offensive weaknesses, Mutombo had almost no flaws on the defensive end during his peak period.

What is this concept?

In the future, there will be only one player in the NBA who is taller than 2.15 meters and has excellent lateral movement speed. ?

That is three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year winner: Rudy Gobert.

Both are defensive wizards, tall, with long arms, agile lateral movement, and both weigh around 110 kilograms.

It's hard to say who has better defensive ability, Gobert or Mutombo.

After all, one is the small ball era and the other is the center era.

The defenses they face are at completely different paces, so it's unfair to compare them together.

The most important test for a center in the small ball era is speed and reaction.

The biggest test for a center in the center era is personal interior defense and strength.

So "African Mountain" Mutombo is unfortunate.

Because he met O'Neal, the strongest of all centers in the league in his prime.

In the 2000-01 season finals [he was beaten to collapse by O'Neal.

The Knicks have high hopes for Mutombo to sign this season.

I hope Uncle Mu can support the Knicks' penalty area defense.

As a result, the aging Mutombo averaged only 5.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in the regular season.

Fortunately, Mutombo broke out after entering the playoffs.

?Performed a good personal performance in the first round of the series.

Supported the last line of defense in the Knicks penalty area.

Limiting opponent Kenyon Martin's cutting efficiency to a very low level.

Otherwise, it will not be easy for the Knicks to upset the Nets.

But it's not difficult to defend against Mutombo's offense.

Just stay in position and keep him away from the basket.

Uncle Mu's offensive methods are relatively simple and have no range.

He has never been a great offensive player in his career, averaging less than 8 shots per game.

frontcourt.

During the Raptors' position battle, Lin Yue pulled the ball outside the three-point line.

This time Thomas learned wisely.

He bypassed the screen to guard the edge of the inside penalty area, preventing Lin Yue from easily breaking through.

Lin Yue was emptied one step away from the three-point line.

"Leave me alone?"

Lin Yue made a jump shot on the spot.

"Whoa!"

Hit a two-pointer from mid-range.

4:0₂

"You will regret it if you let me go!"

"Ahhh!"

Lin Yue clenched her fists and roared.

Continue to boost team morale.

His current mid-range shooting attribute has reached 71.

I can't say he is strong, but he has reached the level of a main player in the NBA.

.........Please give me flowers...

Air defense against him is not a good option.

He's not a big guy without a little mid-range shot.

The twin-tower lineup sent by the Knicks is only good at defending the penalty area, and the defensive effect outside the penalty area is indeed relatively average.

Maybe it has something to do with Kurt Thomas starting so few times this season.

He's not used to being on the court with Mutombo at the same time.

But no matter what, Lin Yue has not felt any offensive experience so far.

When the Knicks attack, both post players will pull out to provide off-ball coverage for their teammates.

Bosh and Alvin Williams double-teamed Marbury.

Marbury broke through with the ball, leaving center Mutombo open.

Mutombo received the pass on the left side.

He drives to the basket with the ball.

Caused a defensive foul on Chris Bosh.

Mutombo was sent to the free throw line.

In the end, two free throws helped the Knicks get the first point of the game.

4:1,

Mutombo's free throw skills are not bad.

Last season's free throw shooting rate was as high as 72.4%, but this season's free throw shooting rate is only 65.7%.

Raptors offense.

Lin Yue got the ball again after picking and rolling.

This time he pretended to break through on the left side, attracting Shandon Anderson's help.

He immediately passed the ball to Jaylen Rose in the mid-range on the right.

...0...

Lin Yue’s vision attribute is 82.

Reached the level of an All-Star player.

The pass was just right.

Jalen Rose catches the ball.

The right side hits the board directly at 45 degrees from the middle distance.

"Bang! Swish!"

6:1.

Lin Yue scored 4 points, 1 block and 1 assist in the first three rounds.

The performance on both ends of the offense and defense was very comprehensive.

Knicks offense.

This time star Marbury gave up the pass.

This time he singled directly to Alvin Williams.

Rely on Mutombo's off-ball screen.

After moving laterally, Marbury did not go straight to the basket.

Instead, he shot a three-pointer from outside the right three-point line.

"Whoa!"

6:4,

Lone Wolf Marbury does have two brushes.

The Raptors continue their position battle.

Lin Yue pretended to move outside the left three-point line.

As a result, halfway through the race, he suddenly turned around and ran back, slipping to the bottom line.

He relied on his off-the-ball movement to get rid of the close defense of Kurt Thomas behind him.

Mad Dog Thomas saw Lin Yue running past him.

He quickly turned around and chased him.

As a result, he was blocked by Chris Bosh who was off the ball screen.

Bosh's off-ball pick-and-roll was used just right.

Alvin Williams passed the ball to the corner.

Lin Yue caught the ball and dunked backhand.

Mutombo had no time to react and immediately reached out to pull Lin Yue.

"boom!"

Lin Yue was too strong and even though he was fouled, he still made a backhand dunk.

8:4,

Lin Yue's performance shocked Mutombo.

Lin Yue's golf IQ is so high that he is dazzled by his movements without the ball.

Since when did NBA big men become so smart?

Shouldn't it be a mindless and physical attack on the inside line?

Uncle Mu felt that he could not keep up with the development of the times.

And Mad Dog Kurt Thomas envied Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's draft stock is very low.

But he was able to receive strong training from the team in his rookie season.

And judging from the offense in this game.

The entire Raptors team is building their offensive tactics around Lin Yue.

In other words, the other four players on the Raptors court are all serving rookie Lin Yue.

Whether it's passing the ball or covering for him.

Lin Yue is the most central presence on the court.

This huge contrast in team status makes Thomas envious and jealous.

For the first time, he felt that there was really no comparison between people.

This damn team status gap is like an insurmountable chasm!.
