NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 207 The Knicks’ biggest weakness and hindrance!
"Boom!"

No matter how coquettish Ewing's posture is, basketball never lies, and his shot once again ended in a blacksmith!

"How about I stay farther away from you?" Schmitz looked at Ewing with an innocent look on his face and said, "Am I too guarded?"

"Fake!" Ewing cursed. When in his life had he been ridiculed by such a small character? You were too defensive. When I was shooting, I didn't even look at you bastard!
If you can't score a goal, it has nothing to do with you.

Ewing thought so, but he couldn't say it.

His status as one of the top four centers remains here, and his dignity tells him that when he fails to score, anything he says is just an excuse.

"Rick!" Just when Schmitz was getting more and more confident and excited to attack again, Lin Tian suddenly stood up, made a thug gesture towards Schmitz from the sidelines, and then charged at him nodded.

Schmitz hesitated for a moment, then nodded towards Lin Tian.

When the Pacers attacked, the basketball once again came into the hands of Schmitz, and he was not polite to Ewing. Tonight we just want to compete with your inside shooting king!
"Shh!"

As Schmitz pulled up and shot again, the score between the two sides actually seemed to be slowly opening up.

On the next offense, Ewing started asking for the ball again.

The difference is that this time Ewing is much tougher and more fierce! He directly blocked his position with his back. After getting the ball, he used brute force and pushed it inside!
In terms of strength, Ewing is definitely at the bottom of the four major centers. His mediocre ability to hit the basket has been criticized by New Yorkers.

But that was because compared with O'Neal and Olajuwon, he showed that he was not good. Today, playing against Schmitz, Ewing would not feel that he was not good!
After reaching all the way to the basket, Ewing first made a fake move, and then pulled it up forcefully, trying to put the ball in through Schmitz, but Schmitz also showed his rare toughness, and not only was he completely ignored After he pushed it open and found it difficult to block Ewing, he used all his strength and hit Ewing's right hand.

"Snapped!"

A very clear sound came, Schmitz's defense was very clean this time! It was so clean that the basketball didn't touch it at all, and it hit Ewing's hand completely!

For this very obvious foul, Schmitz raised his hand obediently for the first time. Then he looked at Ewing and said: "If you are not afraid of death, just rush inside. I still have 5 fouls to use." On you! Behind me, there are Ben, Dale, Charles and Doug! If you have the ability, beat us all down!"

Ewing held his trembling right hand that was still in pain. Instead of answering Schmitz's words, he turned around and walked towards the free throw line.

But at this moment, Ewing looked calm on his face, but there was a huge wave in his heart.

Is it finally here?

The walker finally started to attack his wrist!
Can you hold on? They have so many insiders. If they really come up to foul me one by one, and do it so cleanly and fiercely every time, can I hold on? Can my wrist hold up?

Will I get more injured? Will my wrist be completely useless? Will I be reimbursed next season?
Confused thoughts flooded into Ewing's mind. It can be seen that the blow from Schmitz just now was so heavy that it knocked Ewing into a daze!

As for the reason why Schmitz dared to strike so hard, it was all because of Lin Tian's reminder just now.

The gesture that Lin Tian made to him just now was exactly the gesture used by the Pacers to make tough and fierce fouls! Once this gesture occurs, everyone must commit a very tough and vicious foul against their opponent!

Of course, it is vicious within the scope of ordinary criminal standards!
For example, Schmitz's action, no matter how hard he used it, he was still a thug, just a two-time free throw, and he would not be charged a flagrant foul! This is also the bottom line for the Pacers and Lin Tian. The veteran Pacers headed by Lin Tian disdain to use these things, such as flagrant fouls, active provocations, and off-the-disk moves.

But it can also be seen from here that Schmitz's force just now was really not small. Not only did Ewing start to think about what happened behind him, but even Schmitz's hands were shaking a little.

This guy is really honest when he commits a foul!

"Boom!"

Ewing, whose career free throw percentage is close to 75%, hit the iron accurately on his first free throw, which aroused excitement among the Pacers players.

"Bang!" Then the second free throw came. I don't know if it was due to Ewing's psychological reasons or because his hand was too painful from being hit. He actually missed two free throws, and there was a wave of tribute to O'Neal.

Barkley jumped high and grabbed the rebound without any rush. Lin Tian was not present, so he certainly did not need to force a fast break, which would make it easy to make mistakes.

So Barkley dribbled the ball slowly and unhurriedly. After arriving in the frontcourt, Barkley continued to play point guard, which was quite impressive. Then, after Barkley asked everyone to clear one side, he The ball goes to Schmitz again!
"Rick, fuck him again!" After passing the ball, Barkley did not forget to fan the flames and let Schmitz hit him harder.

Facing Ewing, Schmitz no longer had any fear at all. After getting the ball, he repeated his old trick, raising the ball again and shooting!
But how could Ewing, who had been voted in several times in a row, be able to get his wish so easily by Schmitz? This time he rushed forward quickly to block Schmitz's shot.

But he didn't expect... As soon as he charged forward, Schmitz lowered his center of gravity, passed him with a long stride, rushed directly to the basket and pulled up a two-handed dunk!
"boom!"

After a loud noise, the entire Pacers bench jumped up. Lin Tian, ​​Miller and others took the lead in yelling, looking like they had never seen the world. Miller next to him even started playing with Christie. In COS, Miller imitated Ewing who was being thrown away, and Christie passed him and dunked on Angie's head!
The Pacers are on full swing!
So far in the second quarter, the Knicks have not scored even a single point. Every attack by Ewing has ended in failure!

The only time he caused a foul, he missed 2 free throws!
Then, Van Gundy looked at the time, shook his head, and yelled from the sidelines: "Patrick! Come on, find your state and confidence! He's just a Ukrainian softie! You can easily defeat him!"

No timeouts, no substitutions, just keep playing!
Van Gundy did nothing but make a note that completely angered Schmitz.

Lin Tian heard Van Gundy's shouting on the side. He didn't take it seriously at all. He knew very well that Ewing's problem was not confidence and state at all. He simply had not fully recovered from his injury and was still fighting with injuries!

That's why it's in such a mess! And Lin Tian knew even more that the impact of this severe wrist fracture on Ewing was irreversible!

Since then, he has never regained the status of the top four centers!
Ewing is finished. He has gone from a city hero in New York, the patron saint and pillar of the Knicks, to the Knicks' biggest flaw and flaw today!
The Pacers will definitely make a fuss about him in this series!
Find confidence and status for Ewing?
Sorry, the one who finds his form and confidence this time will be the most inconspicuous starting center in our team!

Ewing's next attack still failed to succeed. Although he rushed into the inside, facing Schmitz who was completely energetic, Ewing actually seemed to be a little staggering. After continuous shaking and changes in footsteps, He chose to end the fight with a hook.

But Ewing, who had been staggered by Schmitz for a long time, lost the touch that he relied on for survival. This ball, he was also a little ridiculous!

After Barkley pulled down the rebound again, he stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to slow down and start another positional battle. But just as he pressed down with one hand, causing the Knicks to relax their vigilance, he moved the ball forward. The field was thrown over!

Floyd, who has been practicing hard all season, finally got a chance to play tonight, quickly moved forward after getting the ball, and then suddenly stopped outside the 3-point line.

Bird told him that after playing, as long as there is space, don't worry about anything else, just throw it!

So Floyd adjusted his breathing and made a decisive 3-pointer!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Pacers continued their attack wave!

And Floyd, a little-known player whose name is not even on the Knicks' player report, dared to throw such a chasing three-pointer that only the team boss dared to shoot, which really made the Knicks The players were stunned.

The way they looked at the walkers became a little different.

Are these guys so confident and decisive?

Aren't they afraid that if they fail to score, they will be criticized by the head coach?
At this time, even if Van Gundy is stubborn and unable to adapt, he still knows that it is time to call a timeout. If he does not call a timeout at this time, he may not have to call a timeout tonight.

"Rick, you played great! This is the Dutch basketball god I want!" Lin Tian smiled and patted Schmitz on the back. The guy was so excited that his face turned red and said: "I did it. !I beat Patrick Ewing! I beat Patrick Ewing!"

"Strictly speaking, you haven't completely defeated him yet! There are still two and a half quarters in this game! You must at least form the same level of restrictions on him for the rest of the time to be considered as defeating him!" Bird clapped his hands and said, "But I have to say, if you only look at the past few minutes, yes, you defeated and crushed Ewing!"

"Okay, let's not talk about what happened just now!" After Bird praised Schmitz, he quickly patted the tactical board and said: "Next, the Knicks will definitely strengthen their outside offense! They can't continue to be like this It was so accurate in the first quarter, so everyone who comes on the court should strengthen my defense and confrontation!"

"Let me continue to increase the difficulty of their shooting, and let their shooting area continue to expand outwards. It is best that every one of their shots is a 3-pointer!"

"And on our offensive end, Rick, it's your turn to show off your support and screening abilities! I want you to be a pivot near the free throw line to cover your teammates and guys so they can play better. Be comfortable and allow them to get their space!”

"And if you get the ball, the Knicks' defense will be tighter, and they will double-team you. At that time, it's time for you to pass the ball to assist your teammates and activate our entire offensive line. ! You just proved that you are no worse than Ewing! Now you have to prove that your ability to support is no worse than Divac or Sabonis!"

"Understood!" Schmitz replied, his voice much louder than before!

Sometimes, this kind of thing is so strange and unreasonable. Confidence and morale are things that he comes and leaves at any time, but now Schmitz is definitely at the most confident moment in his NBA career!
At the end of the timeout, the Pacers temporarily took away Barkley and replaced Big Ben, a blue-collar man who is better at protecting the basket and defense. At the same time, they also got the three outside guns of Lin Tian, ​​Christie and Miller!

Except for Schmitz, the other four members of the Pacers team who had just hit a climax all went down to rest!

This kind of operation is something that little Van Gundy can't understand anyway. If one of his lineups performs wonderfully, he will definitely let them keep playing until the point difference is big enough or this move doesn't work. will stop.

On the Knicks side, Van Gundy Jr. also made changes. He temporarily removed Ewing and brought in another veteran 34-year-old white center, Chris Dudley, who is 211 centimeters tall!
Even Lin Tian was obviously confused when he saw Dudley playing. He even began to wonder if Van Gundy owed him a favor at some point. He was not here to play today, but to repay the favor.

Otherwise, how could you give the 38-year-old Buck Williams a lot of time in the first quarter, and now, knowing that he will definitely play, take another slow and soft white inside man for military training?

However, Lin Tian doesn't care whether little Van Gundy took the wrong medicine or drank fake wine today, nor does he care whether he is here to repay his kindness. What Lin Tian cares about is: everyone has brought the food to him, so how can he not do anything wrong? The reason for eating?
After arriving in the frontcourt, Lin Tian did nothing. He directly called Schmitz to cover him, and then faced Dudley. Then Lin Tian immediately accelerated, passing Dudley in the blink of an eye, and reached the top of the inside line. With Oakley helping to defend, he easily layup and scored another 2 points!
"Thank you for your selflessness and generosity!" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian felt that as a quality, polite and civilized person, he must express his gratitude to Van Gundy Jr.! So he deliberately passed by the Knicks bench, then slapped Van Gundy on the butt and expressed his friendship to him.

I accept your friendship!
But little Van Gundy couldn't figure out what Lin Tian was doing, what was all this selflessness and generosity?

He just glanced at the statistics and then shouted: "Guard him! Guard Lin! Don't let him score so easily again!"

Little Van Gundy's words almost made Lin Tian laugh out loud.

Why can't they guard against me? You really don't know what to do?

There's such a big softie on the court, it's really cool if you guys can guard me!
But even though they couldn't guard Lin Tian, ​​the Knicks finally scored in the second quarter! Their first score came from Houston with a 3-pointer! With this three-pointer, the Knicks players finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the dark cloud that had been weighing on their heads finally dissipated temporarily.

Being unable to score is a huge blow to the players' spirit and self-confidence!

Back on the defensive end, the Knicks players are also in a posture. They have to defend the next round no matter what!
But Lin Tian didn't care about their positions, rotations, etc. It was just pick-and-rolls and military training!
Dudley, come out!

After the screen from Schmitz, Lin Tian once again faced Dudley, but the Knicks' defense finally changed, no longer letting Dudley stick too close to Lin Tian.

Instead, he waited for Ward to bypass Schmitz's screen to defend Lin Tian.

But the Knicks are facing Lin Tian. Using this method of bypassing the screen to target Lin Tian is different from giving him a huge space for him to shoot directly.
no difference!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian's mid-range shot hit again!

But before Lin Tian and others had time to be happy, they quickly turned around and ran back to defense!
The Knicks actually imitated the Pacers' best tactic, quickly serving the baseline ball and letting Johnson dribble the ball all the way to the frontcourt!
After pressing Christie to the basket, Johnson suddenly pulled up for a layup and scored 2 points for the team!
But his quick attack is obviously a bit like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

Fight quickly, right?

One word is for sure!

After Johnson scored 2 points here, Christie immediately understood what Lin Tian meant and immediately came to the baseline to deliver the ball. Lin Tian also immediately speeded up and rushed towards the Knicks' half!

When Lin Tian passed halftime, the two centers Schmitz and Dudley had just turned around and were preparing to run towards the Knicks' half.

Lin Tian was rushing all the way, rushing towards the Knicks' inside hinterland. He was observing the Knicks' defense while running, and then after he entered the three-second zone, he suddenly shouted: "Rick!"

Then, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand hit the backboard.

Watching the basketball bounce quickly after hitting the backboard, Schmitz, who followed up, immediately understood what Lin Tian meant. He followed Lin Tian and took off. After getting the backboard in the air, he smashed it directly towards the basket. past.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Schmitz completed a two-handed alley-oop that shocked everyone!

Well, actually his alley-oop was not amazing, it was just an ordinary two-handed dunk.

But Lin Tian's passing was so imaginative!
If this kind of ball appeared in the All-Star Game, it would be normal, but would it appear in the playoffs, or against a strong defensive team like New York?
If they hadn't seen it live, I'm afraid half of the people would think this was nonsense!
Even after Mason Jr. left, the name of the New York Gang was not as loud as in previous years, but no one would forget the ferocity and toughness of this team! If you play tricks in front of them, you have to be prepared for retaliation.

Lin Tian: What? revenge? Then you have to really come! Don't let me down!
Knicks: It's okay. We have a close relationship with Lin. There is absolutely no such thing as revenge!

After Lin Tian's rebound assist, the two sides started to attack again!
But although it was said to be a confrontation, it actually lasted less than 2 minutes!

Because in only 2 minutes, the two sides were evenly matched, but the Knicks relied on mid-to-long-range shots after all. After scoring a few more goals, they finally started to strike! Whether it was Houston, Johnson, or Starks who came on the bench, they all began to miss frequently!
As for Lin Tian, ​​he constantly used screens to attack and humiliate Dudley's slow-motion defense. He rushed to the basket again and again, or made layups by himself, or assisted Barkley, Schmitz and others to score easily!

On the one hand, the feel has declined, and difficult shots are no longer successful.

On one side, they are constantly attacking the inside, making layups, throws, hooks and dunks under the basket.

It is very obvious which side can gain the initiative and advantage!
At this time, Van Gundy's reaction was once again so slow that it was impossible to watch directly.

He did not take down Dudley, who was turned into a wooden stake by Lin Tian, ​​but kept loudly reminding the players to guard against Lin Tian.

So what can the Knicks players do? They can do nothing but keep double-teaming, leaking holes, and then watching the Pacers score!
At the end of the second quarter, the score difference between the two sides was almost completely widened!
69: 53!

The Pacers outscored their opponents by 18 points in the second quarter!
It was extremely miserable to beat the Knicks!

Throughout the first half, the Pacers' number one hero was obviously Ewing! It was his poor performance in the second quarter that allowed the Pacers to overtake the Knicks in the score.

As for the second hero, naturally it was Lin Tian who scored 33 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals in half the game!

He used his speed and mismatch ability to beat the Knicks, who were unable to fight back and were beaten miserably.

Then there was Schmitz who showed off his power in the first half of the game. He scored a beautiful double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds in the first half! He hasn't played so comfortably for a whole year! Not to mention that not only are the statistics good-looking, but he also restrained Ewing to an extremely embarrassing degree on the defensive end!
The former top four center and the patron saint of New York only scored 6 points in the first half, all of which were scored through breakthroughs in the first 3-4 minutes of the game.

He made a total of 7 of 0 shots in the mid-range and later periods, without scoring any of them. Coupled with 5 of 0 free throws, Ewing's performance tonight was really terrible!

He was completely beaten by Schmitz!
Judging from his state and current situation, there is obviously no possibility for him to turn around in the second half of the game.

Perhaps the best way for the Knicks now is to let Ewing rest for a while, and even talk about playing in the next game at home!

But Ewing obviously won't give in!
During the halftime break, this guy stood in the middle of the locker room angrily, clapped his hands and shouted: "We haven't lost yet, guys! It's only been ten points. We have experienced countless worse and worse moments in our lives than this moment." Dark moments!”

"But I survived! I never gave up early! The same goes for us tonight, we will not give up. In the second half, just give me the ball and I will let the Italian know how good I am!"

"I'll blow him up!"

Faced with Ewing's roars and morale-boosting speeches, the Knicks were all his old buddies, and they immediately found resonance with Ewing, and then cheered and shouted with Ewing! As Ewing said, they never gave up! Next, it's time for the Pacers to see their determination and true strength!

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and neither side changed their starting lineup!
Ewing's position inside was deeper and more fierce. He almost ran over Schmitz all the way to the edge of the three-second zone, and then reached for the ball.

Schmitz's strength is not good after all. Even Ewing, who is at the bottom of the four major centers, can easily crush him in strength.

But Schmitz was completely over the top now. Not only did his enthusiasm not cool down during the 20 minutes of halftime, but it intensified!

Knowing that he couldn't withstand Ewing, Schmitz's eyes directly focused on Ewing's right hand!

Ewing held the basketball and jerked it back twice. This time he used all his strength, and his back molars were bitten until they broke. After pushing away Schmitz, he suddenly turned around and was about to slam down with both hands. Find your face!

"Snapped!"

But Schmitz was obviously more determined. Even though he felt that his ribs were about to be broken by Ewing's elbow, he still took a sharp breath, then slapped him down, and then slapped Ewing's hand. !
It's still a very clean foul, no basketball touched at all!

"I still have three fouls to use." Schmitz, who committed two fouls in the first half, and this time the third foul, looked at Ewing with an arrogant look on his face: "Also, after tonight, you will always Remember, I’m Dutch!”

Ewing covered his right hand and once again did not speak. Instead, he turned around silently and came to the free throw line.

Once again, he chose to give in rather than fight back!
Perhaps this is the biggest reason why he is always considered to be at the bottom of the four major centers.

It's character, not style, strength, talent or anything else.

"Boom!"

Ewing on the free throw line missed another free throw.

"Shh!"

After he adjusted his breathing and eased the feeling in his hand, Ewing raised his hand and finally made a free throw. At the same time, he also scored his first score since six consecutive points in the first half of the first quarter!
For almost a quarter and a half, Ewing didn't score a point!
After making 2 of 1 free throws, the Pacers' offense continued, and the basketball once again came to Schmitz's hands.

"Rick, get the court back!" After Lin Tian scored the ball, he cheered Schmitz loudly while gesturing with both hands.

The focus of the entire Knicks team is also on Schmitz, and they are all worried that this guy will beat their leader again.

But just when everyone was looking at Schmitz and even Johnson was preparing to help defend, Christie had already seized the opportunity and quickly cut to the basket!

The basketball immediately flew towards Christie, and by the time the other Knicks people reacted, Christie had already smashed the ball into the basket!
Another signature three-man combination of passing and cutting + counter-running!

Since Christie came, the Pacers have had countless such cooperations!
"If Chris was standing in Schmitz's position, he might just throw a crotch pass to Doug for a dunk." Looking at the perfect cooperation between the two, something suddenly appeared in Lin Tian's head. Another talented guy came out.

Chris Webber!
According to the historical trend, this guy will join the Kings this year, but one of his good buddies in the Kings, Christie, is already by his side. I am afraid there is no possibility of joining the Kings and playing Princeton with Webber in this life. In this way, then Can the mercury-dropping, extremely romantic and gorgeous Kings team still appear?

Because of this moment of distraction, Ward successfully broke through Lin Tian's defense and hit a jumper from the mid-range. The Knicks continued to show their resilience.

However, although the Knicks are top-notch in resilience and everyone on the team is full of fighting spirit. Even Ewing finally made his first jump shot tonight, their offensive firepower is still not enough compared to the Pacers. ferocious.

All they can do is hold on to the score and prevent it from being opened up.

Close the score? 1 or 2 points is okay, but they really can't do any more!

They couldn't guard the Pacers and couldn't produce consecutive offensive climaxes.

But even if the Knicks have played so perfectly, they only recovered a 2-point difference in this quarter.

But at least, the Knicks still have hope of winning.

Then, when Van Gundy called a timeout and replaced Buck Williams again, the suspense of this game was almost over.

When Lin Tian saw Williams, he was like a sex demon who had been abstinent for 10 years when he saw a street girl who looked like Madonna. Not only did his eyes shine, but even breath came out of his nose.

fuck it!

So...in the last three minutes of the third quarter, Lin Tian single-handedly eliminated the suspense of the game!
In 3 minutes, Lin Tian scored 9 points and 2 assists in a row, which not only brought his score tonight to 45 points, but also widened the point difference to 24 points!
At the same time, at the end of the third quarter, Buck Williams really looked like his son had suddenly died.

I wanted to cry but had no tears, my face was full of helplessness and a sense of powerlessness.

He really can't guard against it!
But Van Gundy just trusts veterans and likes to let veterans play.

What can he do?
Refuse to play?
"It's just 24 points! Guys, we actually felt really good tonight! Let's work harder and win the game!"

When Van Gundy was taking a break between quarters, he clapped his hands hard and wanted to cheer up the players.

But Larry Johnson couldn't stand it anymore. He complained: "Of course we will work hard, but can you stop holding us back? Can you be sober and take a look at the situation on the court? Huh? Buck and Dudley are both my good buddies, but can you please stop letting these two guys play?"

"Didn't they play well? I don't know what personal grudges you have, Larry, but..." Van Gundy wanted to explain, but Houston couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Van Gundy directly.

"Farke! Played well? Damn it, didn't you see that damn Lin already scored 45 points? Oh, and there were 11 damn assists! 3 quarters! That Lin scored in the 3rd quarter He scored 45 points and 11 assists. Why did this happen? Don’t you have a clue?"

"Jeff, we all respect you, and we all regard you as the best head coach. We fell so far behind tonight, and I have the biggest responsibility! I played too badly, and I was... by that Dutch People are blown away." Ewing took over and said: "I will not evade responsibility, but you also have a big problem, your employment and rotation methods."

"They all need to be changed! You can't use Buck and Dudley anymore. They two can't keep up with the pace of the Pacers!"

Being questioned in turn by the players, little Van Gundy's forehead was sweating a lot, and then it became brighter. After hesitating for dozens of seconds, he finally nodded and said: "I will watch the video of this game, I will Consider what you said, but now, it’s not time for us to give up, right?”

"Yes!" After all, the Knicks generals are not here to rebel, they just want to win! When Van Gundy Jr. admitted his mistake, he immediately said that the matter was over!

"Patrick, Charles, Larry, Alan and John, you five come together! This is the strongest lineup we can come up with now! Go get back all the points we are behind! Let the Pacers know that they have no chance Not our opponent!"

"Go!"

On the Pacers side, Bird looked at the technical statistics in his hand leisurely and said absently: "The Knicks will definitely try their best at the beginning of the fourth quarter, hoping to recover the point difference. They There is a high probability that the offensive firepower of the perimeter trio plus Ewing and Oakley will be matched.”

"They will fight for at least another half quarter. If they cannot catch up, they will give up the game."

At this point, Bird raised his head and said: "In order to allow them to get off work early, and in order for their main force to rest more and not work so hard, in the fourth quarter of the game, let's attack him! I'll give you 3 minutes. The score difference will increase to more than 30 points, and then regardless of whether they get off work or not, we will get off work first! Is there any problem?"

"no problem!"

Looking at his players, Bird nodded with satisfaction and then signaled the players to get ready to play!

In the fourth quarter of the game, the desperate Van Gundy, just as Bird said, used the all-attack lineup with the most offensive points in the Knicks.

The Pacers' choice of response method is their starting lineup!
If you want to attack, I will do whatever you want!
As soon as the game started in the fourth quarter, it was the Pacers' offense.

After Lin Tian came to the frontcourt with the ball, he saw Schmitz stuck Ewing with his back and took the initiative to ask for the ball!

This season, the number of times Schmitz took the initiative to ask for the ball with his back is definitely very few. Lin Tian, ​​of course, passed the ball without thinking about it, and then Lin Tian made two fake moves at the top of the arc, including running back and testing. He easily deceived Starks and rushed towards the inside!
Schmitz took the ball with both hands and pointed it towards Lin Tian. Ewing immediately took the trick and turned around, but then he found that the basketball was not passed. Schmitz made a fake move and made him dizzy. When Ewing reacted When he wanted to turn around and defend Schmitz, his mid-range shot had already been thrown!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Schmitz scored his 18th point tonight!
Moreover, his shooting percentage was 13 of 8, which can be said to be very efficient!
In addition to 18 points, Schmitz also had 13 rebounds and 4 assists.

而和他对位的尤因，虽然拿下了14分9篮板，但投篮只有可怜的16投5中，罚球更是可怜的10罚4中！
Schmitz really beat Ewing tonight!
After the ball was hit, the Knicks immediately launched a counterattack. Starks once again entered the personal frenzy mode with the basketball. He lowered his head and rushed all the way, trying to speed up his scoring speed and quickly chase points.

But obviously, Starks' current age and ability, as well as his height, can only allow him to be fast, but not able to score!
The moment he passed the midfield, Lin Tian and Christie formed a double-team on him. With the help of the sideline and the center line, these two people instantly set up a four-sided trap for Starks in the midfield. A dead end trap!

Starks also wanted to jump up and pass the ball out, but he underestimated Lin Tian's reaction speed. When he jumped up to pass the ball, Lin Tian also jumped up and made blocking movements with both hands, knocking Starks away. The ball passed out by Si was held in his hands!

Then before Lin Tianren even hit the ground, he passed the ball out again!

Miller received the basketball 3 meters outside the 2-point line. Facing the empty Knicks half court, he took a step forward in a leisurely manner, pulled up directly, and chased for 3 points from the top of the arc. Take action!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Knicks, who wanted to chase points, were beaten 5:0 as soon as the fourth quarter started!

Then there was Schmitz, who promptly helped defend under the basket. While letting go of Ewing, he turned Houston's breakthrough layup into a spicy hotpot. The basketball fell right into Christie's hands, and Christie took it. After the ball, he quickly turned around and advanced. He was in the center, Lin Tian was on the left and Miller was on the right. The Pacers' signature three-line fast break appeared again!
Christie gave the ball to Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian gave it to Miller, and Miller returned it to Christie.

The three of them passed the ball to each other, from their own 3-point line to the Knicks' 3-point line, without even a single dribble!

Their dazzling continuous passing also made the Knicks defense instantly confused and didn't know how to defend it.

In the end, Lin Tian threw the ball into the air, and Christie jumped to catch the ball and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

31 points!

It only took the Pacers 1 minute and 02 seconds to open the score to more than 30 points!
2 minutes less than Bird requested!

And Bird was not pretentious. As soon as he saw that the score difference was widening, he immediately made a five-up and five-down move when the ball died next time and replaced all his main players!
At this point, Bird and Jackson are really similar!

In a game that shouldn't be played, he won't let his main players play more in one round!
When it's time to rest, you have to rest!
