NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 210 The final song of Ewing! Gemini protects Madison!
  Van Gundy hesitated, thinking about whether to replace Ewing, but at this time the game on the court did not stop at all. Players from both sides had already started a fierce hand-to-hand battle on the court!
  With Oakley almost giving up on defense, fighting for offensive rebounds and constantly interfering with the Pacers' baseline kicks, the Pacers' fast break was indeed contained, and they could hardly mount any decent quick counterattacks. We can only fight with Knicks in a positional battle with bayonets!

The defensive intensity and physical confrontation of both sides were all increased to full capacity at this time! Regardless of whether they are inside or outside, almost every player is constantly hugging and entangled with their opponents. All their arms are tightly entangled together, and everyone is trying their best to fight!

And the purpose of their confrontation is not even to catch the ball. Sometimes it is for a better position, sometimes it is to cover for teammates, and sometimes it is because they have nothing to do and just don't want to make their opponents comfortable!
  The anger of both sides has reached its highest state in this high-intensity, high-density, high-contact confrontation.

Miller and Houston didn't finish half the game, and they were already out of breath and seemed unable to run, because these two guys never stopped, as if they were running a marathon, and they were constantly on the court. Stop running wildly and keep looking for opportunities.

One ran with all his strength, the other pursued with all his strength. The two guys' heads even started to steam due to excessive consumption!
  And the physical Larry Johnson didn't even have any advantage against the skilled Christie. Christie's back molars were almost broken by him, but he just didn't give Johnson any chance to attack with the ball. His long arms were wrapped around Johnson's body almost all the time, with no intention of relaxing at all.

Johnson was forced to get angry by Christie, but he couldn't do anything because Christie's scale, method and footwork were so perfect! A top-level technical defender in the league can make his opponents despair!
  The most fierce confrontation on the court, which is no different from a fight, even has two groups!

Barkley vs. Oakley, Ben vs. Ewing!
  These four guys almost live under the basket. If you check carefully, these four guys will have three seconds of offense and three seconds of defense in every round, but the referee is obviously not in the mood to call such a level at this time. violation.

As a result, the confrontation between these four people under the basket became even more fierce! Except when they were running back and forth on the court, there was not even a second to see whose arms belonged to them or whose legs were entangled.

Their confrontation was too fierce and the entanglement was too tight, and from time to time someone would fall to the ground.

But for all this, the referee chose the default!
  This kind of game, this kind of confrontation, the experience of the referees tells them: At this time, the game must be handed over to the players!
  The last matchup on the court was between Lin Tian and Charlie Ward.

Originally, Lin Tian should have a full advantage against Ward. He completely defeated Ward in the first two games.

But Ward is obviously a little different tonight!
  Losing his starting position did not make this guy feel any frustration or opinion at all. Instead, it inspired his fighting spirit and ferocity even more!
  He tried his best to keep himself in front of Lin Tian every second! Even when Lin Tian wasn't holding the ball, he didn't even watch the basketball. Instead, he just stared at Lin Tian face to face, pestering him!
  As long as Lin Tian moves, he will move, and if Lin Tian stops, he will stop!
  His mission is to entangle Lin Tian and prevent Lin Tian from participating in the attack!

As for other things on the court?

Sorry, it has nothing to do with me!
  Under Ward's self-destructive defense, Lin Tian also got into some trouble, because in addition to Ward willing to die to entangle Lin Tian, ​​the four guys inside also tried to force Lin Tian into the space under the basket. The blockage is tight!

When his teammates are all entangled by opponents and it is difficult to gain space, he can't get to the basket because they are full of people. He can only make a mid-range jump shot or withstand Ward's force from outside the 3-point line. Choose from 3 points.

The efficiency of these two offensive methods is obviously not high!
  Especially every time Lin Tian takes a shot, he has to go through very intense physical confrontation before he can get space. His hit rate is also not guaranteed!
  But of course, Lin Tian himself is not the only one who cannot guarantee the hit rate! Even Ben and Oakley, who were only responsible for tip-ins and dunks under the basket, could not maintain their shooting percentages under this kind of confrontation, let alone others. For the entire game, the combined shooting percentages of both sides None exceed 50%! It was in stark contrast to the crazy back-and-forth scene in the first quarter!
  In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers shot 61% and the Knicks shot 58%! In the last two minutes, both sides hit the target without missing a single goal!
  In the second quarter, the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped to 23%, and the Pacers only had a pitiful 24%! Combined, both sides are still 3 percentage points short of reaching a 50% hit rate!

Whether it was Ewing, Houston, Lin Tian, ​​or Miller Barkley, all of them were unable to put the ball firmly into the basket because of too strong a confrontation in this quarter!

Throughout the game, the Knicks scored a total of 4 sports goals, and the Pacers were slightly higher, scoring 6!
  But the score between the two sides is still not widened. This is of course. With this kind of efficiency, if the score can be widened, then it will be crazy!

The few rapidly increasing statistics of both sides in this quarter are rebounds and turnovers! Except for these two data, all other data have almost stopped growing.

After the first quarter, the score was 39:40. At the end of the second quarter, the score was only 55:56!

In this quarter, the two sides played 16:16! The scoring efficiency and number of points were not even half of those in the first quarter!

Whether it was the fans at the scene or in front of the TV, there was a wonderful sense of division at this moment.

The first quarter was the ultimate confrontation and running and gunning, and the second quarter was the ultimate physical confrontation and positional warfare.

These two completely different styles, which are completely incompatible and should not appear in the same game, were so wonderfully displayed to all the fans in the first and second quarters of the same game.

This sense of fragmentation makes all fans have the same feeling——

Worth the ticket price!

Definitely worth the price of admission!
  The first quarter was an extreme confrontation and an extremely exciting individual performance. After that, the game turned into a muddy battle with hand-to-hand combat and grappling, with both sides fighting hard to defend! Two completely different styles, two completely different viewing experiences.

Seeing the contents of two games in one game is not a waste of money?
  At halftime, the entire Madison Square Garden fans were still immersed in the excitement of the game. Almost no one left their seats to buy something or go to the bathroom. They were watching the replay on the big screen in the middle. Game highlights.

The more you watch, the more exciting it becomes! The more I watch, the more excited I get!

CBS's backstage data also showed that during the intermission advertising time, their ratings did not drop significantly!
  At this time in the past, their ratings would have dropped rapidly, down to only about 30% of the number of viewers during the game.

But today, because the game was so exciting, about 70% of the audience still did not change the channel, but watched the advertisements!

Regardless of whether the fans saw what they wanted in the advertisement, the merchants who placed advertisements during halftime today made a fortune! Advertising invested in the cheapest half-time has received top returns!
  This game is definitely the ultimate enjoyment for fans, advertisers and TV stations!
  But for the players, especially the starting players of both sides, the game is not so friendly!

During the halftime break, Lin Tian, ​​Miller and Christie, who had played the entire 24 minutes of the first half, were all gasping for air. The masseuses behind them were massaging them dutifully and trying to help them as much as possible. They regain their strength.

Lin Tian was okay, he was just sweating all over his body, as if he had just been fished out of the water, but his condition was at least normal.

But Miller, who had been running almost a whole marathon with Houston, was now pale and gave people a feeling of exhaustion and exhaustion. Miller's condition was really bad.

But even so, this guy is still being stubborn right now: "I tell you, that Houston is definitely lying on the floor like a dead dog right now, too tired to move! I won't make him run away today without vomiting. Bai Mo, my last name is not Miller! Are you right Doug! Doug? Doug!"

Miller called Christie three times in a row, and Christie reluctantly raised his head and looked at him and said, "Don't talk to me Reggie, Johnson is simply a beast in human form. He is as strong as a rhinoceros. He keeps talking." Bump on me! Damn it, don’t talk to me again before the second half starts! I need a good rest!”

Except for these three guys who played the entire first half, Barkley, who played 22 minutes, and Ben, who played 19 minutes, are not in any better condition at the moment. Both of them are equally tired, even their eyes. Don't even want to open it.

Bird was also very sensible and did not arrange any tactics at this time to feed the players with chicken soup.

rest! All they need now is rest!
  The situation in the Knicks locker room is almost the same as that of the Pacers.

Several guys who played the entire first half were as tired as if they had just participated in a war. Everyone was exhausted in their own positions and asked the physical therapist to massage and relax them on the spot.

Although Van Gundy did not arrange tactics, he came to Ewing and sat down: "Patrick, I have to apologize to you! I have to apologize to you! I knew it at the beginning of the second quarter. Know your situation!"

"But I hesitated for a whole quarter and didn't replace you. As a coach, I let my players play the whole half with injuries and closure in such a fierce game. I am a very bad and unscrupulous person. Qualified coach!”

"But now, I have decided! I have made up my mind! Don't continue to play in the second half of the game, rest! I won't let you take risks tonight! You still have a long career to..."

"Very long? How long?" Ewing rarely interrupted Van Gundy and interjected: "I am 36 years old, how many years can my career last? How many years can I maintain my peak state? These I’ve already said it to Nick as coach, and I really don’t want to say it again.”

"I'm going to bet on this year! I'm going to hit the championship this year! Otherwise, when should I wait? Wait for Lin and his Pacers to become stronger next year? Wait for Michael to find a new partner or wait for the Miami group? The bastard continues to make progress? Or even if we break out of the east."

"O'Neal, Robinson, Duncan, Malone and Garnett, these old guys and young guys, can we beat them next year? Can we be in better shape next year than this year?"

"Coach, this year everyone has shown their best and peak condition. Everyone this year is at the best stage of their career! I can't drag them down. I can't prevent my teammates from taking further steps because I am bad. !”

"That's not my style! I can accept that I am the worst among the four centers, and I can also accept that others say that Mourning is better than me! But you want me to be the culprit of the team's losses and the one who holds it back. , sorry, I can’t do it.”

"In this game, I must play, I must persevere! I must give my team the hope and opportunity to continue fighting!"

Listening to Ewing's affectionate monologue, Van Gundy knew that what he was saying was useless. He could only pat Ewing's knee and said: "If you have any questions, please tell me at any time and I will replace you immediately." ! Patrick, listen, no matter what you think, it’s not necessary! Some things are really unnecessary!”

"I'll leave the game if I feel a little uncomfortable!" Ewing nodded and said, "Coach, lay out the tactics, I'm ready!"

At this time, Van Gundy and Bird showed a very strange tacit understanding, because the two of them only said one sentence when arranging tactics.

"Fight like we did in the first half and kill those bastards!"

In the second half of the game, players from both sides changed sides and fought again!

Bird did not change the starting lineup, he let Schmitz continue to play against Ewing!
  Van Gundy once again changed his starting lineup. He performed brilliantly in the first quarter and shot 100% from the field, but Starks, who failed to play in the second quarter, continued to sit on the bench. Instead, Chas played the entire second quarter. Lee Ward continues to start!
  "John, are you angry with me?" Van Gundy did not go to watch the third quarter that had already started. Instead, he went directly to Starks' side and said, "After you played what may be the most exciting quarter of your career, Finally, I pushed me down on the bench, do you hate me?"

"I'm really not happy and I don't understand." Starks said truthfully: "But I support you, you are a good coach!"

"Thank you." Van Gundy patted Starks on the shoulder and said: "I need a John who is full of energy, not tired at all, and in 100% condition to play in the fourth quarter and use his precise shooting and unsolvable Break through and lead us to victory!"

"When everyone is exhausted and unable to fight anymore, that's when you go on to fight. John, do you understand?"

"I understand, coach! I will wait for the moment you call my name and let me play! I'm looking forward to it very much!"

At this moment, the third quarter of the game between the two sides was almost a replica of the second quarter, with ultra-slow pace, ultra-low scoring efficiency, and one strike after another.

Players from both sides continued to be immersed in physical confrontation and marathon duel. Putting the basketball into the basket seemed to be no longer important at all. In this case, the coaches of both sides did not call a timeout!
  The two played in the entire third quarter, plus the official timeout, that is, one each, a total of two timeouts.

Moreover, these two people called a timeout not to adjust tactics, they just wanted to give their main players a rest.

With the intensity of this kind of game and this kind of crazy confrontation, neither coach dared to let too many people play, for fear that if they were not careful, they would lose the whole game! They all trust their core and starting lineup more. There are only 8 players on both sides in this game!
  And there are a few players who actually came up for a show, went through the motions, and then went down again.

Bird said to Lin Tianda during his timeout: "It's not normal. Starks played so well but didn't play at all in the second and third quarters. Van Gundy certainly wouldn't be so stupid. Not letting your best player play.”

"He must have something planned!"

"What other plan could it be?" Lin Tian rested on a chair and analyzed: "Isn't it just to wait for work and let a scorer with abundant physical strength come up to control the game and kill the game in the fourth quarter? There is nothing good at all. After thinking about it, I don’t believe that bald man Van Gundy can come up with anything else.”

"Then how should we deal with it?" Bird looked at Lin Tian. His original intention was to hope that Lin Tian would take the initiative to take a rest. Anyway, in this kind of muddy battle, Lin Tian's speed and organizational advantages would not be brought into play. It would be just right to come down and rest. Against Starks in the fourth quarter.

"That's a bit unnecessary." Lin Tian shrugged: "It's just Starks, not Michael Jordan. How can I leave the game early to rest because I'm afraid of him?"

"Don't worry, Larry. I have plenty of physical strength. In the fourth quarter, I can still face Starks at full strength! I will completely block him! But now, I have to continue to play!"

"Understood." Bird nodded and let Lin Tian continue to play, but at the same time, he also took Schmitz down again and asked Ben to go up for him to fight against Ewing and others!

At this point in the game, Schmitz was a bit unable to keep up with the confrontation, and his shortcomings in physical fitness and strength have been fully demonstrated. Although he has scored 4 points and 4 rebounds on 8 of 5 shots, he He couldn't keep up with the intensity of Ewing and the Knicks on the court. Although he tried his best, his side effects on the court still outweighed his contribution.

Therefore, after much thought, Bird still let Ben take the field in his place!
  Industry specializing in surgery!
  Now, compared to Schmitz's two mid-range shots, the team needs Ben's hardness and rebounds more!
  The entire third quarter was almost a replica of the second quarter. The scoring efficiency of both sides still showed no improvement at all. Once again, neither team's shooting percentage in a single quarter exceeded 30%!

70: 72!

When the third quarter of the game between the two sides ended, the point difference was still not widened, and the scores were still very low. By this time, the physical strength of several main players on both sides has reached the bottleneck. Miller, Christie, Barkley, and Lin Tian all played more than 30 minutes. Miller, Christie, and Lin Tian even played more simply. Completed the first three quarters of the game!

At this moment, these people were panting from exhaustion and sat on the bench without wanting to move.

The situation on the Knicks' side was not much better. Ewing, Houston, and Johnson all played for three quarters, and their consumption was no less than that of the Pacers.

In this game, both sides relied almost entirely on their top five starters, and their bench lineups barely got any playing time or opportunities to perform.

dare not!

Neither coach dared to change their lineup on the field rashly.

But at this point in the game, it’s no longer a matter of the coaches saying they should continue to persist, and the players can continue to persist. Even if they can persist for a few more minutes, the score between the two sides does not seem to be widening at the moment. At the end of the fourth quarter Who's going to play in a few minutes?
  The rest must be given to the players!
  After Bird thought for a long time, he looked at his players and said: "Lin, Joe, Fred, Dale and Rick, you five come on! Lin, hold on for three minutes! I'll let Reggie and the others come back." Come to the stadium and help you!”

"Before they go back, try to lower the pace and slow down the fight as much as possible. Don't..." At this point, Bird suddenly paused, then as if he had made some determination, he looked at Lin Tiandao: "Forget it. Now! You can fight however you want! You have the final say on the next game time!"

"The game is left to you! I believe in you!"

"If you can't hold on any longer, ask us to come up and help you." Buckley spread out on the chair, gasping for air while not forgetting to make a few sarcastic remarks about Lin Tian.

"Don't take advantage of our absence and lose a lot of points. It will be very laborious for us to catch up later!" Miller's appearance is similar to Barkley's, both slumped in a chair. The two guys are now soft except for their mouths.

Lin Tian gave a middle finger to the two of them, then turned around and led his teammates back onto the court.

Bird's substitutions at this time were still very bold. Compared with the lineup in the second and third quarters, he changed four people at once! Let Hoibogo, Dumars, Davis and Schmitz play together with Lin Tian!
  As for Lin Tian, ​​who continues to play, he will most likely play the full 48 minutes today, but there is no way. Bird really dare not replace Lin Tian. If someone else replaces him, he can more or less find a replacement. Let's go for it, but if Lin Tian also goes down, then the Pacers really don't even have anyone who can hold the ball!

He had to overdraft Lin Tian, ​​there was no other way!

On the Knicks side, Van Gundy Jr. seemed to be on the same page as Bird tonight. He played defense, and Bird also played defense. He didn't make substitutions, and Bird didn't make substitutions either. But this time, when Bird started to rotate At that time, Van Gundy Jr. also made substitutions, but he did not make a large-scale rotation. Instead, he only replaced Ward with Starks, adding an extra firepower point to the team!

But this was Starks who exploded in the first quarter, scoring 7 points on 7-for-17 shooting!

If Van Gundy hadn't insisted on changing his strategy in the second and third quarters to compete with the Pacers, who knows what data Starks would be able to produce now.

But what is certain is that if Starks is also on the court in the second and third quarters, then with his current age and physical strength, he will definitely not be counted on in the fourth quarter.

Van Gundy is simply gambling. He is betting that Starks can still find his touch after sitting on the bench for two quarters. He is betting that the Pacers are severely exhausted and no one will have the energy to keep up with him. He is also betting that even without Starks, With firepower, the Knicks can also seize the game in the second and third quarters!
  Now, his goal has been basically achieved, leaving only the last item.

Can Starks' touch continue?
  can!
  In the Knicks' first offense of the fourth quarter, the basketball was directly given to Starks, who was full of vitality and in full condition. This guy faced Lin Tian with the ball and made two small but extremely fast changes. After Xiang created some space for himself, he unreasonably picked it up and threw it away again!
  "Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Starks sat on the bench for 24 minutes, and the basketball still went straight into the basket!
  "Come on! Come on Lin! Let me see what you are capable of! Do you still have the strength to defend me?" Starks beat his chest, his eyes were blood red. Now he is in the best condition of his life. In the state!
  The entire Madison Square Garden burst into earth-shattering cheers and shouts, and everyone in the audience was roaring and calling Starks' name!
  This guy who has not been at his peak in recent years and has only contributed his energy on the bench performed his best performance on this night!
  Van Gundy, who had always been calm or sitting motionless on the sidelines, couldn't help but stand up, raised his hands in the air, and roared!
  This 3-pointer gave him hope for the team to win!
  Can win! Starks is still in good shape!
  "Then we'll see!" Lin Tian smiled and chewed gum. Starks' 3-pointer just now didn't put any burden on him. He took the baseline ball and walked to the frontcourt unhurriedly. Afterwards, facing Starks who lowered his center of gravity and looked provocative, Lin Tian did not speak or confront him, and directly chose to pass the ball!
  Schmitz, who had just arrived near the free throw line, received a pass from Lin Tian. He glanced at Ewing, who was still under the basket and had not followed him at all. This guy just picked up and threw, a signature mid-range jump shot, 2 points. The ball simply goes into the net!

"You're not the only one who hit every target tonight." Lin Tian looked at Starks, high-fived Schmitz and said, "Our Rick didn't miss a single shot either!"

"You stupid coward! Don't you dare to challenge me? Don't you dare to face me? Where's your courage?" Starks took the baseline ball and advanced while spraying trash talk towards Lin Tian. .

"Let me tell you a truth." Lin Tian remained unmoved and remained extremely calm: "The courage of a child is to rush forward no matter what, while the courage of an adult is to do the most rational thing no matter what the situation. decision."

"You are a mentally retarded person who is not yet 13 years old. Go back to college and then come back to me and talk about courage!"

"Also, if you are not a coward, what were you doing in those 24 minutes? Changing diapers to prevent yourself from being scared to wet your pants? Or praying to Jesus in your heart, asking Him to protect you from being beaten to death on the basketball court? ?”

"John, don't be affected by his trash talk." Ewing quickly passed by Starks, patted his butt and said, "Even Michael can't stand his trash talk."

"Yeah, Michael can't bear it, let alone you who can't even compare to Michael's toes!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, returned to his defensive position, lowered his center of gravity and looked at Starks and said: "Come on, Let me see how many you can score tonight!”

Faced with Lin Tian's trash talk, Starks said no more. This time he found Ewing and asked Ewing to give him a screen. Then he quickly broke through to the inside.

But Lin Tian's speed was too fast. Before Starks could reach the free throw line, Lin Tian had already bypassed the screen and appeared in front of him again!
  For Lin Tian, ​​as long as God doesn't always favor this guy and let him hit every ball without any reason, then it's not a big problem to guard him to death!

Starks did not force this time, but instead found Ewing with a one-handed pass. After Ewing got the ball, he simply pulled it up and shot!
  The right hand that had been closed once again withstood the pressure. With a gentle flick of the wrist, the basketball accurately penetrated the basket!

"Come on Lin! This game is not a bullfight or a personal grudge!" After scoring the goal, Ewing showed a rare attitude: "This game is a grudge between two cities! We will use all methods to defeat eachother's!"

"It's not time to use all methods to deal with you, Dell!" Lin Tian's last words were shouted at Davis, who had just reached the bottom line. As soon as Davis heard Lin Tian calling him, Immediately, as if there was some kind of stress reaction, he raised his hand and threw the ball towards the front court!

Davis's passing skills are not as good as Barkley's, so the ball was not passed very well. Compared with Lin Tian, ​​the landing point of the basketball was closer to Houston!
  Lin Tian and Houston ran wildly together and rushed towards the landing point of the basketball! In this kind of game, no one will stand there and wait for the basketball to find them. That is completely equivalent to giving up the ball!

In the final analysis, Lin Tian was faster and better in confrontation. The force on his shoulders staggered Houston, and he himself was staggered by the counter-shock force. But in the end, Lin Tian was the faster one to catch him. Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, and before losing his center of gravity and flying out of the baseline, Lin Tian held the basketball with one hand and threw it toward the front court!

Hoiberg, who had also just come on the court and was full of strength, just happened to shake off the heavy Johnson at this time, hugged the basketball, rushed to the basket, and pulled it up for a dunk!
  "boom!"

After a loud bang, Hoiberg once again repaid Bird's trust!
  "Sorry Lin, I passed the ball poorly!" Davis blamed himself and walked to the sideline to pull Lin Tian up and apologize to him.

"You passed the ball very well! I wanted to pass the ball too suddenly! Next time I will give you a signal in advance! Okay, stop talking nonsense and defend!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone on the court and shouted:
  "Defense! Guys, defend!"

Barkley and Miller off the court listened to Lin Tian's roar, and their blood was boiling at this moment. The two of them stood up and said: "Larry, we have a rest!"

"Wait a minute." Bird had also stood up from the bench at this time. He looked at Lin Tian and other players, stretched out his hand to comfort the two generals and said: "The last 9 minutes! The last 9 minutes, you two and say Let’s go together! We must have enough physical strength to play the last few minutes of the game!”

In the next 2 minutes of the game, the two sides were still at loggerheads. Although Schmitz hit another 2-pointer and Starke finally made two consecutive shots, Schmitz and Davis could not withstand Ewing. He grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds and completed tip-ins, and the score between the two sides could not be opened!

But one thing that is different from the previous two quarters is that in this quarter, the touch of both sides seems to be revived again!

They all started hitting the ball!
  With 9 minutes left in the game, the score between the two sides became 84:85!

The Knicks are 1 point behind!
  Bird once again called a timeout at this juncture!

It's time for a change!

Looking at Lin Tian who was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the Hudson River, Bird couldn't help but ask: "Lin..."

"Hold on, my physical strength is fine!" Lin Tian looked at Bird and nodded firmly. Even though his current physical strength is definitely at the top of the league, the consumption of this game is still too great.

He really felt like his lungs were going to explode at this moment.

But it will be no problem if you play!
  Because Lin Tian believes that others will only be worse than him!
  "Ben, Charles, Doug, Reggie, come on! The last 9 minutes! Give the New Yorkers a 3:0!" Bird clapped his hands vigorously and encouraged the players: "Let the New Yorkers go to hell. ! Let them know that we are the best team this year!"

"Fuck them!"

Lin Tian used the protective gear to wipe the sweat from his elbow, turned around, led the teammates behind him, and strode towards the court.

The Knicks also have their strongest lineup now!

Ewing, Oakley, Johnson, Houston, Starks!
  In the last 9 minutes, the decisive moment has arrived early!
  In the first offense back on the court, the Pacers served from the center line. Lin Tian held the ball and did not rush to attack by himself. Instead, he distributed the ball to Barkley in the low post and rested for 3 minutes, allowing Barkley, who was full of energy at this time. Rushing for two is definitely the best time!

Barkley was not polite after getting the ball. He carried Oakley all the way to the 3-second zone, knocked him away with a fake move, and immediately jumped up to take action!

"Snapped!"

But Ewing didn't know when he arrived from the wing to help defend, and slapped Barkley's shot away. Houston grabbed the basketball that was slapped, and then quickly found Starks, who held the ball. Launch a counterattack!

The Pacers' retreat is definitely fast enough!
  Their short stature showed their advantages in the process of quickly retreating from defense. Christie and Miller found Houston and Johnson respectively. Ben didn't even look back and ran towards the basket. He wanted to guard the basket. !
  Lin Tian was sticking closely to Starks. At this time of the game, Lin Tian also went all out and no longer held back at all. His tough defense forced Starks' advance near the midline. Interrupted.

"John!" Ewing's roar came from the side. Starks immediately passed the basketball to Ewing. After getting the ball, Ewing didn't think about passing the ball, but dribbled the ball himself and headed towards Running under the basket!

Johnson and Houston immediately opened up one left and one right, giving Ewing plenty of space to attack.

Lin Tiangang wanted to turn around to block Ewing, but was deliberately pulled and pushed by Starks. The two of them immediately fell to the ground together in embarrassment!

Ewing had no obstacles before and after, dribbling the ball and sprinting towards the basket!

Facing Ewing who was already charging with all his strength, Ben was not afraid at all. He opened his arms, saw the opportunity, opened his hands and jumped up!
  "Bang!" The two people collided heavily in the air, and then Ewing's body, as strong as a bull, gained the upper hand with its powerful impact! After a confrontation, Ben was knocked to the ground by Ewing!
  "boom!"

After a loud noise, Ewing, the patron saint of New York, dunked with both hands. With Ewing's crazy roars, the Knicks took the lead by one point!
  "Charles, where are you!" Lin Tian, ​​who threw Starks off the floor and finally got up, looked at Barkley, who had just hurried back to the half court, and said angrily: "What did you do just now! If you don't want to fight, if you want to be lazy, then go back to Indiana and be lazy! Why don't you go back to defense?"

Lin Tian rarely gets angry with his teammates, and this is an extremely rare first time when he directly angrily criticizes his teammates on the court!
  Starks looked at Lin Tian and Barkley with a smirk and pride. He felt that they would definitely fight!

What's Barkley's temper like? When had he ever suffered this kind of injustice in his life? Can he tolerate this? He is no longer Barkley!

Just when Starks was thinking about adding fuel to the fire and fanning the flames for them, Lin Tian suddenly disappeared!

He has already dodged Starks and started running towards the frontcourt!
  Starks was about to turn around and catch up with Lin Tian, ​​but what appeared in front of him was Buckley's smirking face!

be cheated!
  "Oh!"

With a muffled sound, Starks hit Barkley hard and fell again.

Christie at the baseline had already made a long one-arm swing, throwing the basketball quickly to the front court.

Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, took off easily, and completed a layup!
  Pacers, overtake again!
  (End of this chapter)
