NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 208 Restore confidence! The two old Knicks dominate the game!
111: 92!

The final score difference in this game was only 19 points.

This is because the Knicks felt really good tonight, and their main players played on the court until there were only 5 minutes left before being replaced by Van Gundy.

With the main players playing as substitutes, they did chase more than ten points in the first half of the game, but obviously, facing a score difference of more than 30 points, the speed of chasing points was really not enough.

In the whole game, Lin Tian scored perfect statistics of 45 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. Although he made as many as 6 turnovers due to his poor play, compared with his contribution, Such a small mistake is really not worth mentioning!
In addition to Lin Tian's 45 points, Schmitz scored 18 points and 14 rebounds, completely defeating his opponent Ewing. Barkley had 12 points and 8 rebounds, which can be regarded as retreating to the second line, helping Schmitz find his form. In addition, Miller hit 4 3-pointers and scored 15 points, and Christie had 11 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Pacers once again played their best team basketball!
At the post-game press conference, Bird did not bring Lin Tian, ​​who had the best performance tonight, but brought Schmitz, who had rarely appeared at the press conference in the past!

"Rick, you played really well tonight, can you tell me how you feel? What do you most want to say to others right now?"

"I just played aggressively. To be honest, before tonight's game started, I couldn't believe I could play so well! I have to thank Lin, Larry and Charles for this!"

"They kept encouraging me and cheering me on. They told me that Patrick is not scary and that there is no need to be afraid of him. They also said that Patrick is a paper tiger and I can easily squeeze him! Then they kept giving me opportunities. , create and make room for me, without them, I wouldn’t be able to play at the level I did tonight!”

"It turns out that what they said is right! I do have the strength to do something, and I will continue."

"You think Patrick Ewing is easy to deal with? Are you confident that you can continue to beat him in the next game?"

"I'm confident! I'm not afraid of him at all now. You can let him come towards me. No matter how he hits me or how he plans to target me, I'm not afraid of him. I will continue to beat him!"

"So Rick, say something to Patrick. Tell him what you think now."

"I am not Spanish, nor Portuguese, Italian or Belgian. I am Dutch, and I was born in Eindhoven!" When Schmitz said this, he had a strong aura. With complete confidence, he looked at the reporters and said: "Let Patrick remember this sentence, he will be ravaged by a Dutchman for the entire series!"

……

Five minutes later, Schmitz, who was just as high-spirited as if he was invincible, sat in the locker room with a grimace and looked at Lin Tiandao: "Lin, why do you want me to say that? If they hate me, in the next game What should I do to take revenge on me?”

"With me here, are you still afraid of others' revenge?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Are you insulting me?"

"But I really don't think I'm on the same level as Patrick. I really think I'm just lucky today!" Schmitz now lost the momentum of telling the world what a great place Eindhoven is. , it’s called a complete coward.

"Okay, okay, let's do this. I'll help you defend in the next game! And Doug will help you too!" Lin Tian patted Schmitz on the shoulder and said: "With the two of us helping you defend, we Let’s beat Patrick to death together, so you can rest assured.”

"That's pretty much it!" Schmitz smiled and turned around to sit on his chair. Then in less than two seconds, he turned around again and said, "Lin, why don't you ask Doug to help me?" Be careful, please stop coming, your mouth is too venomous, I’m afraid Patrick will be angry.”

"If he gets angry, I won't get anything good from him!"

"Are you done?" Lin Tian felt helpless to this cowardly guy: "You're just like this Patrick. What will you do if you face O'Neal or Malone in the finals? Just fake an injury and not play?"

"O'Neal? Malone?" Schmitz said with a painful expression: "Maybe let Charles play against them?"

"FUXX! I'm so mean to you." Barkley swore, then suddenly threw a bottle from the other side and said, "Eat this thing, and I'll make sure you get hard! You won't be afraid of Patrick anymore!"

"What is this?" Schmitz looked at the small medicine bottle in his hand curiously.

"A mysterious little pill that can make Charles feel like a man every night." Lin Tian glanced at the bottle of magic oil produced in India or kangaroo essence produced in Australia, and looked towards Buckley said: "Charles, do you need this thing to survive now?"

"That was a gift from my friend!"

"You keep it with you since your friend gave it to you?"

"Just delivered it tonight!"

"What friend? Male or female? What's your name? What kind of job do you do? Why does he think you need this? Have you asked him for help?" Lin Tian opened his mouth, and there was a series of questions, without giving Buckley any time to think. Space.

"Good friend, of course he's a man, his name is Jay... FUXX! Lin, why should I answer you this? I'm here to help Rick!" Barkley had already changed his clothes and came over to grab more. He walked away from his treasure and said, "Anyway, if you need it, just come to me."

"If you let Rick use this, then Patrick will definitely not dare to continue beating him on the back." Miller came over and took a look at the medicine bottle and said: "Even Patrick will never dare to talk to Rick again in his life."

"What the hell is this?" Schmitz looked at the messy printing on the medicine bottle. He was convinced that it was in a language he didn't understand at all.

"Maybe it's the only thing that can make Charles look like a man." Lin Tian shrugged.

He is not as bad as Miller. If Schmitz eats this thing, Ewing will not dare to hit him behind his back, but in this league, I am afraid no one will dare to hit him behind his back in the future.

So scary! Who can stand this?
……

At this time, on the bus that the Knicks were driving to their hotel, everyone in the Knicks team was silent. Tonight's defeat was really painful for them.

In other words, it is too miserable for Ewing!

Because tonight he couldn't beat Schmitz, he couldn't beat Ben, and he couldn't beat Davis. Even in the two rounds when Christie came over to challenge him in a misplaced position, he felt powerless!

Ewing kept touching his wrist, trying to bring back the soft feeling of his old partner and first love.

He felt really bad tonight. In terms of body and strength, he has almost recovered. He sat down on Schmitz and there was no problem at all!
But his touch is really stiff, and his shooting movements are also very disjointed!
Ewing didn't know whether this was a psychological problem or a health problem, but he knew that if he didn't solve the problem of his poor hand, the Knicks wouldn't be able to play in this series!
He must find his own feeling!

"Jeff, help me find Coleman." Ewing stopped Van Gundy and mentioned the team's chief trainer: "I want to practice shooting with him tonight. I have to get my feeling back! Otherwise We have nothing to fight."

"Okay, I just have to stay up late tonight to watch the game video, we can be together!" Van Gundy, who is labeled as diligent, hard-working, and a workaholic, nodded. During the playoffs, he basically only slept 4 times a night. For about an hour or so, the rest of the time is almost entirely spent working and thinking crazily.

With the intensity of his work, anyone who meets him has to say that you are more of a blessing than a blessing.

That night, Ewing and the trainer practiced until two in the morning before going back to rest, while Van Gundy continued to stay in the arena to watch the video of the game and analyze it.

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Ewing once again came to the training hall an hour earlier than the training time. He wanted to continue to practice shooting and find his touch. But as soon as he came in, he saw that Van Gundy was still the same as when he left. That posture is still written and drawn in the notebook.

"Jeff, you didn't stay all night." Ewing frowned, and he began to worry that little Van Gundy would die suddenly.

"Of course not. I'm not a monster." Little Van Gundy picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip. "I slept here for a while. You can practice. I still have the video of you practicing shooting last night. I still remember it." I have taken notes, and there are areas in it that I think you need to improve on. When Coleman comes, you two will look at it together, and I hope it can help you."

"Thanks Jeff! I won't let you down in the next game!"

……

In the next game, Ewing disappointed Van Gundy, or in other words, he disappointed everyone in New York.

His injuries spanned almost the entire season. When he fell at the beginning of the season, his broken wrist bone almost pierced the skin and rushed out of the body! With this kind of injury, an ordinary person would be unable to play for at least 2 years, but Ewing still came back to play a few games in the middle and late stages of the season, then got injured and came back again.

His spirit can already be called terrifying, but Ewing himself is obviously not satisfied!

He knows better than anyone that he has reached the late stage of his career, and there is not much window and time left for him to win the championship. For him now, every year is the next best year. Year! He will only get worse, not better!

Some things are irreversible!

Therefore, Ewing must fight hard!

You must push yourself to death!
But for some things, hard work and hard work alone are not enough.

In other words, in this alliance, work hard? Never worth mentioning!
There are more than 400 permanent players, and at least a thousand players who are playing on the periphery and fringes of the league. They are all working hard and trying their best!
Talent and ability are the weight that determines everything.

effort? It's just the basics. In the decades of league history, who can complete a counterattack just by working hard?
More people are still super geniuses with extraordinary talents, and only with hard work can they achieve hegemony!

In the second game of the series, Ewing still couldn't find the feeling. He only made 3 of 10 shots outside the 2-second zone, and even within the 3-second zone, he only made 6 of 3 shots.

It was another game in which he made 16 of 5 shots and only 14 of 6 free throws. Although Ewing scored 16 points and 11 rebounds tonight, and although he beat Schmitz to 6 fouls and left the game, everyone watched. It can be concluded that the winner of today's duel is still Schmitz.

因为施密茨18投10中拿下22分12个篮板，因为施密茨还送出了3个助攻和2个盖帽，还因为施密茨曾经一个大帽将尤因的扣篮直接扇飞到了半场。

Of course, more importantly, the Pacers won this game!
104: 96!

This night, the Pacers only won by 8 points, because Houston ushered in an explosion this night. He completely destroyed Miller, making 19 of 13 shots, 3 of 5 4-pointers, and all 4 free throws. Scored 34 points! Larry Johnson also scored 21 points!
When the two major scorers broke out at the same time and were both in the best form of their careers, Ewing, the boss of their team, was completely beaten by a Dutchman!

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the entire Knicks team! Because everyone can see that if Ewing can play at a normal or even abnormal level tonight, the Knicks may be able to steal a victory from the away game.

However, Ewing just couldn't do it. He just couldn't hit the shot. He just missed the shot again and again. Even if he stepped up his impact towards the basket and knocked Schmitz off the court, as a leader, he obviously didn't do enough.

This night, the truly qualified leader is Lin Tian!

Not only did he score 33 points and 12 assists in the game, he also scored 13 points and 3 assists in the fourth quarter! At the same time, in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian took over Miller's job and started one-on-one with Houston!

After Lin Tian took over the defense against Houston, New York's 'Central Shooting King' only hit one goal in 5 shots in 3 minutes and only scored 2 points!
It was Lin Tian's perfect defense against Houston that shut down the Knicks' offense at the last moment!
This night, Lin Tian dominated the game on both offense and defense, leading the team to victory and gaining a 2:0 lead!
In addition to the high-level performances of Lin Tian and Schmitz, Barkley continued to play a supporting role tonight and only scored 13 points and 7 rebounds. Miller was in poor form. He made 13 of 4 shots and was beaten by Houston. Well, it’s a big loss.

But fortunately, Dumars came on the bench. He hit 3 3-pointers and scored 13 points in the game. Coupled with Ainge, who only played 5 minutes but effectively hit 2 [-]-pointers. This pair of Indiana veterans demonstrated their role at the most critical moment!

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the Pacers successfully defended their home court. With a score of 2:0, they will go to Madison Garden in New York, where they will experience two truly bloody battles!
New Yorkers will not let anyone act arrogantly on their territory, nor will they let anyone easily take away victory from New York!

In the medical room of the Knicks training facility, Nick, the Knicks' chief team doctor, shook his head firmly and said: "It's impossible Patrick, there's no way I agree with your idea!"

"Nick! We are good friends, you must help me!" Ewing leaned against the door of the medical room and said firmly: "If we lose this game, we are finished! No team can win at 0: Even though we were 3 behind, we still won the series!”

"This is our last chance!"

"I have been a team doctor in New York for 13 years and the chief team doctor for 6 years. If I remember correctly, we both joined the team in the same year, right? Patrick, you have always trusted me. I can become the chief team doctor for a large part. The reason is because of your trust in me."

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, but there are some things that I cannot promise you! Because I am a doctor and I have my own principles and bottom lines!"

"Nick! This is my last chance. I will be 3 years old in three months. I don't know if I can still play next year. I just want to fight for the last time. Can you help me?"

"Patrick, I know basketball. I have watched it on the sidelines for 13 years. I know basketball very well. I know the significance of this series and what it means to your career. But at the same time, I know even more, what this matter means to you." The whole meaning of life!”

“You may have only one hand for the rest of your life, and your right hand may no longer be able to use strength for the rest of your life, unable to hold a knife and fork, unable to hold a coffee cup, or even unable to squeeze your favorite big balloon! Think carefully, some things are not worth it!"

"It's worth it!" Ewing looked at Nick and said: "You've been watching basketball for 13 years, but you still don't understand basketball Nick! Sometimes in basketball, you can't just look at gains and losses. It's not right or wrong, nor is it right or wrong. , we can’t just do what is right and easy! We also have to do something, do something..."

"Do something that 30 years from now I will look back on this life and I will never regret it and be proud of it!"

Nick looked at Ewing's extremely serious eyes and look, opened his mouth, and finally nodded and said: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me at any time! I will check your wrist every time you pause. In any case, I will let Jeff replace you, understand?" "Don't worry! Nick, thank you!"

……

In the gap before the third game of the second round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the league finally began to announce the awards for the regular season.

Well...most of it has nothing to do with the Pacers.

If I have to say it, Ben ranked 8th among the most improved players, Dumars ranked 6th in the selection of the best sixth man, Crohill, who played half a season with the Pacers, In the selection of the best rookie, he also got 1 point!
This is the entire relationship between the Pacers and these awards, and they have no share! Indeed, no one in their team can compete with those awards.

But among the next two awards given out, the Pacers, or Larry Bird, became the biggest winner!

He created an unprecedented history!

He became the first person in NBA history to win both the Best General Manager and the Best Coach in one season!
The Pacers ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference's third league this season. With 56 wins, they improved by 17 games compared to the previous year when Larry Brown was coaching! This improvement is the biggest in the entire league! The crazy offensive system Bird created for the Pacers this season has also been noticed by the entire league.

He quickly put together a brand new team. What's even more amazing is that such a group of veterans has various thorns and rivals with the former bosses of each team. Under Miller's There are almost no problems or conflicts under governance.

Well, almost nothing. The only problem in the locker room turned out to be an important reason why Bird won the best general manager!

If there is still some controversy about Bird winning the best coach, many people think that Sloan, Jackson, Karl, Harris and others are more qualified to win, and these people can come up with their own reasons and arguments.

So in the selection of the best general manager, Bird is really the best, no one can compare with him!

First, they cleared up a lot of salary space in the offseason, then signed Lin Tian with the largest contract in history, and then used Lin Tian, ​​Miller, championship, etc. as gimmicks to attract Barkley and Dumars. , Big Ben and other powerful players quickly formed a brand new team!

And in the middle of the season, when Jaylen Rose showed his rebellion and wanted to cause trouble within the team, Bird used the power of the Thunder to first suppress the negative news of internal strife, and then traded him out of the team in a flash! Everything for the Walkers quickly returned to calm!

Although Christie, who was acquired through the trade, has never been in the All-Stars and is not a famous star, he and the Pacers integrated very quickly. The two sides were a match made in heaven. They integrated almost in the blink of an eye and became indispensable to the team. a member of!
Jaylen Rose, who was traded out of the team by him, quickly showed his prototype after arriving with the Raptors.

Before going to the Raptors, Rose averaged 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 47%, 38% and 81% from the field! He was well-deserved to be selected as an All-Star, and he also occupied the Most Improved Player award for most of the season.

But after he arrived in the Raptors and became the team's top player, this guy's performance plummeted, with his average data falling to 13.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.

Although rebounds and assists have increased, the points scored have dropped significantly, and the shooting percentage has also dropped to 38%, 31% and 77%! The number of turnovers increased from the previous 2.3 to 4.8! If he hadn't only played half a season with the Raptors, he might have even taken away Lin Tian's throne of mistakes!
Not only that, Rose also lost the honor of Most Improved Player in the end-of-season selection. This award was eventually snatched away by the Hawks' Alan Henderson.

While the Raptors screamed that they had been cheated, they could only watch with tears as the Pacers sold premium players to them, and also posted several draft picks for nothing.

I really regret it!
But the Raptors' regret naturally further proves Bird's top-notch vision and operational ability. If he can sell people at a premium, that's great!
With his ability to continuously make trouble during the offseason and during the season, Bird easily won the best general manager of the season almost unanimously!
In addition, Duncan was unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year and selected to the All-Rookie Team. The Best Sixth Man was won by Danny Manning, the former No. [-] pick and now the sixth man of the Suns.

The best defensive player and best defensive team, as well as the most important awards of the year, mvp and best team, have not been announced yet. They should not be announced until the end of the second round, or near the end.

The first wave of these awards released this year actually did not cause too much reaction or discussion. After all, whether it is Manning or Henderson, they are not popular stars in the league. Whether they get it or not , will not cause any discussion or controversy.

After looking at it, it was Bird, the best coach, who caused a lot of spats. Fans of each team felt that their head coach was more deserving of this award!

But regardless of whether they agreed or not, this award was won by Bird, and he indeed achieved an unprecedented achievement!

Next, we have to see whether Bird can lead his team to win the championship and achieve a Grand Slam in a single year!

……

One day later, at Madison Square Garden, known as the Mecca of basketball in the United States, the third game of the second round of the Eastern Conference continued!

The Knicks, who have returned to their own territory, will definitely try their best this night and use every method to create difficulties and troubles for the Pacers. They will never allow a 3:0 situation to occur!
This night is actually a life and death battle for the Knicks!

If they lose, they can book flights in advance and go out for fun.

If we win, the suspense of this series will still exist!

New York fans will always have confidence in their team, they just love watching football!
Therefore, when the Knicks players walked into the arena, overwhelming cheers and shouts came over, and the fans couldn't wait to start cheering for their home team!

As for the Pacers, they naturally received the most attentive care from the Madison Garden fans, and every player was greeted well by the fans!
Sitting in his own exclusive seat, the great director Spike Lee, who was present at almost every game, started yelling at Lin Tian as soon as he saw him.

"What's wrong, Spike, if I remember correctly, you still owe me a movie!" Lin Tian had nothing to do, so he simply walked over to Spike and started chatting with him.

"You join the Knicks, let alone one, I will give you a series!" Spike grinned at Lin Tian, ​​obviously not expecting this guy to be so thick-skinned, and you don't even want to join our team. Still want to rip off my movie for free?

"But Magic and others said that if I go to the Lakers, they will prepare an exclusive "Star Wars Story" series for me, A-level production, 3 parts, and let Liam and the others play supporting roles for me! This series of yours Is it as good as Star Wars?"

"What the hell!" Spike glanced at Lin Tian angrily. He was now sure that this kid was here to cause trouble, and he didn't want to say a word to Lin Tian.

Fortunately, Ewing also came over at this time. Spike immediately reached out and patted Ewing and said, "How are you feeling tonight, Patrick? Your state in the first two games was not very good!"

"No problem!" Ewing confidently patted his chest and said: "I'm going to be on full fire tonight! I'll give them a good show! I just came back in the first two games and didn't feel it. Tonight, you can watch To one of the most heroic super monsters wreaking havoc under their basket!"

"I'm looking forward to it very much!" After Spike said this, he was about to turn around and say something to Lin Tian, ​​but found that Lin Tian had already turned around and walked away.

FUXX! Not polite!

Spike muttered and continued to watch the players warming up, while Lin Tian walked directly in front of Bird, and then he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to come to him.

"Something is not right with Patrick tonight! He is very confident and seems to have completely gotten rid of the shadow of his previous poor condition. Moreover, when he shook hands with Spike and beat his chest just now, he used his right hand! In the previous two games, He did all this work with his left hand!”

"Lin, what do you want to say?" Schmitz's face drooped first. If Ewing finds his form, he will be the first to be unlucky!
"I want to say that tonight's game is definitely more difficult than we imagined. Everyone must give me all their energy to deal with the Knicks from the beginning of the game. There is no slack or relaxation! 3:0 ! Tonight, I want 3:0! I will not give them any hope or chance. Tonight, I will make them despair!"

"Let them despair!" Barkley raised his arms in approval.

"Very good, then since Lin Du said so, I also need to rearrange my tactics." Bird clapped his hands and said: "Change the strategy. We will no longer attack the Patrick and Rick matchup from the beginning. , Lin, you come first! Use your breakthrough and distribution to try the Knicks' firepower and status!"

"Everyone else, let's run! We will use the best set for the first round and the regular season! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

This clear sound came from the Knicks on the opposite side of the field. Ewing had just completed his final lecture to his teammates. Obviously, the Knicks were full of confidence at the moment. They had enough confidence to complete the reception. Come down to the game and take away the victory!
Because everyone saw the difference Ewing made tonight!
Not only was he confident, but during the warm-up, his shots were much more accurate than before!
In the entire Knicks team and even the entire Madison Square Garden, only Nick, the chief team doctor, looked sad and hesitated to speak.

"They are quite impressive." Barkley looked at the Knicks players opposite and snorted: "Let's destroy their momentum!"

"Break them! Let's go, play!" Lin Tian walked past Barkley and led the Pacers' starting five to the court again!
As for the Knicks, they finally changed their starting lineup tonight! Ewing, Oakley, Johnson and Houston remain unchanged. The only adjustment is to put Ward, who couldn't guard Lin Tian in the previous two games, on the bench, and put the sixth man Starks on the bench. First release!

Starks was once the most important helper around Ewing and one of the best defenders of Jordan in the league. His style of play is similar to that of Crawford, Nick Young and others in the 21st century, and he is good at chaos. , good at scoring and likes all kinds of difficult shots.

When he is in good condition, he can kill all opponents and lead the team to victory. For example, in Game 1994 of the 27 Finals, he scored [-] points and almost led the team to win the championship!
But when he was in bad shape, he could work with his opponents to push his teammates to the ground and beat them violently, becoming the league's top undercover. For example, in Game 1994 of the 18 Finals, he made 2 of 3 shots and 11 0-pointers. 16, the whole game hit [-] irons, and personally sent Olajuwon to the altar!

Today's Starks' defensive ability has dropped significantly compared to when he was young, and he is no longer so crazy on the offensive end. He has accepted the position of a role player and plays the sixth man on the team with peace of mind.

But when the team needs someone to score, he will still step forward without hesitation and help the team out of trouble!
For example, tonight, when Ward, whose selling point is defense and calmness, was completely unable to help the team, Van Gundy decided to inject some extra energy into the team's starting lineup!

Starks is the most suitable person! Letting him start means: Van Gundy has to seize the opening! He wants the team to have the upper hand from the beginning and overpower the Pacers!

As the players from both sides came to the court, and the fans shouted wildly, the referee threatened the players on both sides to calm down as usual, and the basketball was finally thrown into the air.

"Snapped!"

This time it was Ewing who grabbed the first wave of offense for the team! After losing two consecutive jump balls to Schmitz, he finally won one!
Starks held the basketball and quickly advanced toward the frontcourt while observing the movements of his teammates.

In other words, he just stared at Oakley.

After seeing that Oakley had rushed to the basket and started fighting with Barkley, this guy dribbled the ball laterally and jumped to open the distance from Lin Tian. He just picked up the 3-pointer and threw it!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Starks opened the scoring for the Knicks in the most Stark way!

"Just throw it like this." Lin Tian stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. He really didn't expect Starks to throw this ball like this. Didn't he see Ewing just running to the free throw line? Not giving any face to your boss?
But with this one ball, Lin Tian could see why Starks was able to shoot 18-2 in the finals tiebreaker. This guy is really big-hearted and generous! This is the sharpest double-edged sword in the 90s!

Whoever you stab will be in trouble!

However, it was just a 3-pointer, and Lin Tian was unmoved. After dribbling quickly to the frontcourt, he immediately found Schmitz and started a pick-and-roll with him. He wanted to face Ewing head-on. , look at what kind of state Ewing is in tonight!
After covering, Lin Tian faced Ewing, lowered his head and accelerated, rushing towards the inside!
Ewing's pace this time was very cautious. He was not thrown away by Lin Tian, ​​nor did he give Lin Tian a chance to foul. After the two came to the basket almost at the same time, they took off almost at the same time!

Ewing followed Lin Tian!
After taking off, Lin Tian faced Ewing's outstretched hands at the same time and the fierce confrontation with his body. He almost lost his balance. However, he still firmly grasped the basketball with both hands and leaned his upper body as far back as possible to avoid Ewing. Blocking the shot, the basketball aimed at the basket, waiting for Ewing to land first.

Maybe only a second passed, maybe a whole century passed.

After all, Ewing was taller. He was getting further and further away from Lin Tian, ​​and then he landed first!

As for Lin Tian, ​​the moment Ewing landed, he used the last strength of his waist and abdomen to forcefully pull the ball out.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, the ball stayed in the air for too long and the confrontation was too fierce. Even though Lin Tiantian's posture in the air was almost perfect, he still failed to hit it.

But Lin Tian had obviously expected that the ball would not go in. He even predicted the landing point of the basketball. After he landed, he immediately turned around in front of Ewing, and then stepped to the other side of the basket. Jumping suddenly from the side.

Then Lin Tian used one hand above his head to gently push the fallen basketball toward the basket behind him.

"Shh!"

The basketball immediately changed direction and got into the basket!
Although he was a little uncomfortable being forced by Ewing, Lin Tian still completed his own shot and grabbed 2 points!
But he also tried out Ewing tonight, and he was indeed in great shape!
The confrontation and defense he faced against Lin Tian today were much more fierce than in the previous two games, and what deserves Lin Tian's attention more is Ewing's right hand!

Whether he was blocking shots or fighting, he no longer hid his right hand!
This guy, at least, has no mental problems at all!

"Rick, be careful when you face Patrick later. This guy is not easy to deal with tonight! The old rule is to shoot and don't break through!" Lin Tian did not celebrate after landing, but immediately found Schmitz and asked him He explained the next defensive focus.

Schmitz nodded, said nothing and looked solemn. Of course, he could see that Ewing was different tonight.

In his heart, he was completely unsure at the moment!
"Lin asked you to let me shoot?" Ewing caught the basketball in the low post, and then did not rush to attack. Instead, he looked at Schmitz and said: "Don't you think he is hurting you? He wants me to be in front of you. 50 points off my head!"
