In a luxurious villa in Orlando.
In the living room, James was drinking red wine while watching the match between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Clippers on ESPM.
James had been paying attention to Lin Ming all this while, and now that he was going up against his best friend, Paul, who was also one of the Banana Boat Brothers, of course, it attracted his attention even more.
As for Lin Ming, James couldn't wait to get his hands on him. He hoped that he could trade for Lin Ming once the trading market opened.
Even if Owen was the price, he didn't feel that it was a pity at all. Lin Ming's talent and ability were clearly stronger than Owen's by at least one level.
In the summer, the Cavaliers were down 3 - 1, but they managed to turn the tables on the Warriors and brought the first-ever championship trophy to the state of California.
James, who had won three championships, was already in the top five in history.
However, with Durant joining the Warriors, they had been upgraded to the Galaxy Battleship. He alone could not deal with the heroes of the Avengers.
Although Owen was a top point guard, his talent and upper limit were quite ordinary. It was difficult for him to become a superstar, let alone compete with the Warriors.
Lin Ming was undoubtedly the perfect answer to getting the fourth championship ring.
"Isn't this too exaggerated? Lin beat Paul up? My brother is a bit miserable…He should be able to get back to his form in the second half, right?”
James was completely dumbfounded when he saw his best point guard brother Paul being shot to death by Lin Ming. His defense was like a blacksmith and the king of mistakes.
If even Paul was beaten up by Lin Ming, then his strength…
If he really traded with a knight, was he really here to assist him?
He probably wanted to be Lin Ming's assistant, right?
……
In a stadium in Orlando, Lillard was still practicing in the middle of the night.
At the same time, he was also watching the live broadcast of the game between the Clippers and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Seeing Lin Ming's terrifying six consecutive kills, Lillard's expression changed.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that although Lin Shuhao was fierce back then, he was nothing more than eating dumplings for a moment. His physical talent and techniques were very limited.
However, Lin Ming's talent could be said to be the best in history. It was so strong that it was explosive.
Moreover, there were almost no blind spots in shooting, breaking through, organizing, passing, and defending. Lillard couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.
He had even publicly said some harsh words on social media, wanting to go against Lin Ming and beat him up. Now, he was trembling all over…
"If I shoot at normal speed and height, will I be covered by Lin?”Lillard asked his shooting coach.
"How can it be so easy to block? If you run without the ball, it will be difficult for him to cover you. Of course, if you hold the ball and shoot in front of him, without a pick-and-roll and a big open space, if you shoot head-on…"
The shooting coach didn't finish his sentence, but Lillard was already terrified.
"Looks like I have to speed up. Otherwise, with this guy's jump, even if he's not blocked, the trajectory of his shot will be forcefully changed.”
……
In the Clippers 'locker room.
There were only two minutes left before the start of the second half, but Doughty was still emphasizing the tactics for the second half.
"Attack the inside lane. The inside lane is our advantage. Once the inside lane was opened, the opponent would shrink and the outside lane would have a chance. At that time, he would open fire from both inside and outside, catching the opponent off guard.”
" As for defense... it's still to seal off the other players of the Laker team. As for Lin..."
When Lin Ming was mentioned, Doughty Lives really felt a headache coming on.
He had seen too many big scenes, and he had many experiences facing historical superstars like Kobe and James.
However, when it came to the hardest to defend against, Doughty would not choose between these two. He would choose Lin Ming first.
Not only was Lin Ming unstoppable, but he also had a storm-like three-pointer that made it impossible for the defenders to take care of both the inside and outside. They had to choose a way to die.
"As for Lin…let's stick to our original defensive strategy. Give him more physical contact and pay attention to the two sides. He…would be tired, right? When he's tired, we'll win."
Now, Dougriffous had no hope that his players could defend against Lin Ming.
They could only hope that Lin Ming would have problems with his physical strength and feel bad under his crazy hacking and defense. Then, the Clippers 'chance would come.
In truth, Lin Ming was indeed a little tired.
He scored like crazy in the second quarter, and tore through the defense like crazy in the first quarter, attracting double passes.
Every round consumed his stamina. Even if Lin Ming's talent was off the charts and his stamina was strong, he was not Iron Man and had a limit.
Ingram was in charge of pushing the ball forward and passing it to Lin Ming after halftime. He was in control of the situation.
Facing Wesley Johnson's defense, Lin Ming made a feint and directly passed the ball, hanging it under the basket.
Randall caught the ball and forced a layup, causing Jordan to foul.
The two punishments missed.
When the Clippers started, it was clearly different from the first half.
Following Coach Doughty's instructions, the team focused on attacking the inside.
Paul passed the ball to Redick, who feigned and passed the ball to Griffin.
Faced with Rarinance's close-range defense, Griffin forced himself to the basket, turned around, and jumped high, hitting the basket above Rarinance's head.
72 to 62!
The Clippers 'morale rose. They were in high spirits and began to defend fiercely.
The intensity of the defense was a level higher than the first half.
Under this kind of high-pressure defense, the Laker players couldn't break in, and they didn't have a good chance to shoot.
Ingram received Lin Ming's pass and blocked Paul's jump shot.
Paul got the ball and faced Luerden, who was defending against him. He threw it away with one step and quickly moved to the front of the field. He drilled through the crowd to the basket and easily hit the basket.
In order to conserve Lin Ming's stamina, he was now responsible for defending against Reddick.
Then, in the starting lineup, the one to defend against Paul was Luerden.
Obviously, the effect was very poor. Ruerden could not keep up with Paul's footsteps and rhythm at all.
After all, it was the Eagle Kingdom's Jordan, not the real Jordan!
He was the former boss of the Los Angeles Clippers this season. His contribution and presence on both offense and defense were too embarrassing.
