NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 230 Today is Sunday and the postman is not working!

Of course, Lin Tian and Barkley cannot play on the court for too long. Bird will not trust Sloan. At this point in the series, what if the Jazz are really not afraid of death and do something dirty? If a player is injured, even if it does not affect the championship this season, it is still very disgusting.

Therefore, after another 4 minutes of play in the fourth quarter and the score difference between the two sides reached 40 points, Lin Tian and the others were replaced by Bird.

Of course, Bird did not forget his promise to Big Ben. Before Hoiberg, Dumars and Ainge came on the court, Bird called a timeout and gave the players a lesson about we are all family. , an ideological education class that neither allows family members to be bullied nor disappoints them.

In case they were too relaxed and failed to hold on to the 40-point point difference, Bird would not be able to explain to Big Ben after the game.

Fortunately, the Pacers players, who were united and determined to make the Jazz look completely ugly, still held on to the point difference in the last few minutes. Not only did they not allow the Jazz to narrow the point difference to less than 40 points, they also once expanded the point difference to 50 points. points!

If Shandon Anderson and Hornacek hadn't teamed up to score two 1-pointers in the last minute of the game, scored 3 points together, and went on to go 8-1 in the last minute, then Tonight the Jazz lost by 8 points instead of 0 points, but no matter from any angle, whether it was 50 points or 42 points, the Jazz tonight was completely defeated!

The finals matchup with the largest score difference and the largest gap in history is undoubtedly this year's one!

As the climax of the entire NBA season, as the ultimate showdown between the two teams that have gone through all the hardships and finally come to the end, representing the strongest teams in the East and West, the finals are exciting most of the time. , it’s hard to tell the winner.

Although historically, there have been many series swept in the finals, but to be honest, even those teams that were swept can often perform some good performances and give their fans some hope.

But like this year, the victory was almost decided after the first game of the series, and even the home fans left the game early after the second game. Looking at the NBA's more than 50 years of history, this is really the first time!

There has never been a team that could lose so miserably and so simply in the finals.

The Jazz really never put up any resistance in the game and were beaten from beginning to end.

"The most disparate finals in history is born!" Are the Pacers too strong or the Jazz too weak? 》

"When will the pattern of strong east and weak west end?" Why are only the Bulls able to play back and forth with the Pacers? 》

"Lin and Jordan!" The top two active players in the NBA! 》

"After three games, the Pacers have set multiple historical records! They put the Jazz on the pillar of shame! 》

"Who else can save Jazz?" A well-known coach said: Go sign Ares and Hercules! 》

"One God is not enough, the Jazz now need at least 5 Jesuses to save them!" 》

"Or will it be broken up by a battle?" Sources familiar with the matter revealed that the Jazz are already in internal strife! Malone and Stockton may part ways! 》

"The Last Hope or a New Carnage?" Preview of Game 4 of the Finals! 》

"Many records were broken in one game, the Jazz lost 42 points in a single game unprecedentedly!" 》

"Ma Long sent the Jazz to shame with one elbow. Will he regret everything he brought to the team because of his filth?" 》

"No resistance! The Nuggets can play better than the Jazz in the Finals! 》

"Let the WNBA's Utah Superstars play better than the Jazz!" The girls played more like tough guys than a bunch of wimps! 》

"You can celebrate in advance!" Congratulations to the Indiana Pacers for winning their first championship trophy in team history! 》

"Before you celebrate in advance, I have already celebrated in advance!" Come take a look at the crazy celebration the Hoosiers did after winning two consecutive away games! 》

"Bringing Talent to Indiana!" Lin's choice makes him an Indiana city hero! 》

"Indiana, this is for you!" 》

"Indiana is not a super team!" They fought one after another! 》

"Indiana did it too!" Lin Tian is about to achieve his third consecutive personal championship! 》

……

All kinds of reports have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and no matter which media they are from, when the series reaches this point, there are actually only two things they do.

1. Praise the Pacers.

2. Blame the Jazz.

After all, at this point in the series, it is no longer useful to analyze lineups, tactics, comeback methods, and game previews. Whether it is fans, players or the media, they are completely uninterested in such things and have no desire to do so. Research!

As long as they are not a fan of the Jazz or a mentally retarded person who insists on making excuses at this time, no one will believe that the Jazz can come back.

And this series is almost destined to go down in history.

The names of the least suspenseful finals in history, the most boring finals in history, and the finals with the biggest difference in strength in history will definitely be hung on this series and become his eternal label.

The Jazz are destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

The final suspense of this series is how many points the Jazz can lose in the four games. So far, they have lost a full 90 points.

They are very likely to become the first team in NBA history to lose more than 100 points in the finals.

If they really lose by more than 100 points in a single round of the series, then they will really become the biggest joke in the history of the finals.

……

Before the start of the fourth game of the Finals, Bird did not relax his management of the team. He still issued a curfew order to everyone and did not allow anyone to hang out in nightclubs at this time. He also moved the training time earlier. Everyone is required to arrive at the training facility before 6 a.m. to sign in.

Of course, Bird is not planning any large-scale and high-intensity training. He just wants these players to stay at home and not go out to cause trouble at this time.

After arriving at the training ground, Bird just smelled whether they smelled of alcohol and whether they were energetic enough, and then let them do whatever they wanted.

At this time, the most important thing is for the players to stay healthy, stay in good condition, and not do anything extra!

As for training, it has no use except making players more tired and increasing the risk of injuries.

As a result, the entire Pacers training facility almost became a sea of ​​joy, especially after Bird left. People were playing cards, bragging, and dancing and rapping.

Barkley was the most courageous. This guy went to the tactical analysis room and pushed out the TV that Bird used to analyze the game, connected it to his PS, and played NBA LIVE with Miller. The two of them used classic walking skills. One uses the classic 76ers, and then doesn't pass the ball at all, and just uses himself to score crazy points.

He was beating and scolding at the same time, not to mention how naughty he was.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he found a sunny place, lay down casually, closed his eyes and prepared to catch up on his sleep.

And in the Jazz hotel, their state and atmosphere are of course impossible to compare with the Pacers. They lost three games in a row, and each game was so completely lost. The morale of this Jazz team has already fallen to the bottom.

Sloan gathered all the players in a conference room the night before the game. Sloan, who had exhausted all his methods, was actually very confused now. He didn't know what to do.

But he knew that he always had to do something before Game 4 of the Finals.

So he bought all the sports newspapers he could buy, and then handed them out for the players to read after they arrived.

But less than 3 minutes later, Malone took the lead and threw the newspaper on the table and said: "Coach, we have seen countless of these things in the past two days. We really don't need to be hit by this stuff anymore." ”

When his number one star said this, Sloan, who had always run the army with an iron fist, opened his mouth, but did not say a word. Then he lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

When all the Jazz players looked at him curiously, they discovered that Sloan's body was actually shaking a little. When this awesome handsome man raised his head again, all the Jazz players discovered that he was now My son was already in tears.

"I'm sorry, it's because I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough, I couldn't beat Phil Jackson last year, and I can't deal with Larry Bird this year. You have tried your best, you did what I asked you to do Everything is even better than what I asked for.”

"But we still lost three games in a row, humiliatingly. Because of my incompetence, we were beaten so hard that we were unable to fight back. Because of my incompetence, we were destined to be engraved on the pillar of shame and laughed at by everyone. It was me. It's my fault that I ruined a perfectly good season."

Sloan said this, and then bowed again. This tough guy who had never been soft in his life, at this time bowed his head and admitted his mistake to his men, his players.

This shows how hard this series has dealt him.

"I will resign from the boss after this series. I will leave the position of head coach. I will not be able to lead you to win the championship. Everyone, tomorrow night will probably be the last game we play together. , what I want to say is: I can coach you, I can be your head coach."

"It is the greatest honor and the pride of my life!"

After Sloan finished speaking, he turned around, walked out of the meeting room, and came to the corridor without giving the players any chance to refute or retain him.

Then, Sloan looked back at the conference room and found that no one came out. He immediately wiped his tears, without any trace of the slump just now, raised his head and chest, walked towards his room, and at the same time took out his I made a call on my cell phone.

"Phil, does this trick you told me really work?"

"What do you think?" Jackson's soft and very frivolous voice came over: "Jerry, you have sincerely asked for help. What I told you is of course the trick I have used and it works very well. Don't worry. ,I will not trick you!"

"But seriously, did you really cry like that? Did you take a photo? I really want to see what the famous Jerry Sloan looks like when he cries."

"Go to hell!" Sloan cursed and hung up the phone.

If he wasn't really desperate, if he wasn't really forced to the edge of the cliff, he really didn't want to ask for help from Jackson, a guy he had always disliked and always hated.

But under the current situation, his desire for victory still exceeds his pursuit of face.

Now that Sloan has shown a performance at the level of a Hollywood actor, let's see if the players can be moved by Sloan and perform wonderfully, at least in the fourth game, to create some suspense!

"Coach can't leave!" After Sloan left, Malone stood up and said: "No matter what, this team can't live without Jerry! We also need some fire, some men's stuff! We have to come up with our Come with the strength and attitude!”

"I'm the first to apologize to everyone. I hit him too softly. I have to admit that I'm afraid of Lin! I'm afraid of being pushed to the ground and beaten by him like before. I'm soft and I'm scared! I apologize!"

When Malone said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "But in the fourth game, it won't be like this! I won't continue to be weak. I will let everyone see how tough I am, and I will let everyone You know, that tough guy Ma Long is still there!"

"I know that we are 0:3 behind in this series. From any angle, we have almost no chance of winning the series and the championship. Even I don't think we can come back, but I think, We have to win at least one game!"

"We have to win Game 4. I don't want to be swept. I don't want to be the team that loses the most points in a single round of the finals in NBA history. I don't want to be mentioned again and again, just because I lost badly enough."

"In the fourth game, we tried our best to win it! For our dignity, for the dignity of Salt Lake City, and for Jerry to continue to coach us!"

As soon as Malone finished speaking, Stockton stood up and said: "I also played terribly in the first three games. In the fourth game, I will be aggressive from the beginning! I will find a way to kill him." Lin, I will score a lot of points with him!"

"I won't admit defeat, I will kill Lin, I will find a way to defeat him!"

After the two leaders of the team made their statements, the rest of the Jazz players were naturally furious. The last bit of arrogance and unwillingness to admit defeat in their hearts were successfully inspired by Sloan's cruel trick!

Regardless of the outcome of Game 4 of the Finals, the Jazz will use their best form to face this game!

All of them have made up their minds: even if the outcome of the series is already determined and it is almost impossible for them to come back, they must at least win one game! If you can't win a game, then play an extremely exciting game that is enough to move and recognize all fans. You must put enough pressure on the Pacers!

They must make the Pacers realize: their opponent is not some rotten fish, their opponent is the Utah Jazz!

Want to kill us?

you can!

But don’t expect an easy victory!

Step over our corpses! Be prepared to lose a layer of skin and win miserably!

It has to be said that the Jazz's resilience and team style are indeed worthy of their nickname of Salt Lake City Cockroaches. This group of people really almost never give up, and they are really able to fight for something again in desperate situations. He must inspire some blood and fighting power to play with his opponent's life.

Behind the desperate situation of 0:3, the Jazz has truly fallen off the cliff, with only one hand still stuck on the edge of the cliff. The Jazz, which has not fallen for the time being, has actually rekindled its fighting spirit at this time in the series!

"They seem a little different." When the Jazz entered the court and the whole team was warming up quietly, Barkley touched his chin and said curiously: "These guys seem to be ready to go to the battlefield."

"Charles, if you're scared, how about I find you a body armor and a helmet?" Miller never misses an opportunity to mock Barkley.

"Fuck you Reggie, you country bumpkin who has never played in the finals. I just want you to be careful and don't be too careless!" Barkley raised his middle finger without hesitation.

"We in China have a saying that when soldiers come, the water will be blocked by the earth!" Lin Tian stood between the two guys and said: "No matter what state they are in, we will kill them to death!"

"But I think they want to fight hard tonight." Barkley was still a little worried.

"They want to fight me to the death. Does he have the strength?" Lin Tian snorted and said: "The strength is equal, and fighting is useful. The gap in strength is too far, and fighting hard is a joke!"

"After the start, you guys pull away, and I'm responsible for letting them know how ridiculous their efforts are!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around and clapped his hands, gathering everyone on the team.

Strategically, despise your opponents, but tactically, you must pay attention to your opponents!

No matter how relaxed Lin Tian said, it was also the attitude he showed to his teammates. He was trying to make them relax, but on the court, if Lin Tian and the Pacers still have this attitude, that would be stupid!

Tactically, you must pay great attention to your opponent!

"After the start, everyone pull away from me! The Jazz are going to fight hard, and I am responsible for taking their lives! Then, I have another plan." Lin Tian looked at his teammates and said: "The third quarter of today's game is over. How about we pick up all the drinks and ice buckets on the sidelines and give Larry a surprise?"

"How about we celebrate him being the first asshole in history to complete a Super Grand Slam in his rookie season?"

"I'm in charge of the ice bucket!" Miller smirked and was eager to give it a try.

"I'm responsible for holding Larry down and keeping him from running around!" Barkley also looked thoughtful.

"During the halftime break, I moved a few more buckets of drinks and ice cubes to the bench." Dumas showed his old-fashioned nature and expressed that he would increase the pressure.

"Want hot water? How about a day of ice and fire?" Ben rubbed his afro and asked a very soulful question.

"Okay, go prepare a pot of boiling water and see if Larry will kill you." Lin Tian gave Ben a thumbs up, saying that this idea is very interesting.

"Okay guys, in order for us to execute our plan perfectly before the start of the fourth quarter, we have to beat the Jazz to death in the first three quarters of the game! Are there any problems?"

"No problem!"   "Send the people of Salt Lake City on their way!"

"Let them die!"

Become!

Lin Tian stretched greatly. He knew that the Jazz team was finished.

Soon, the fourth game of the series begins on time!

By this time in the series, both sides have an extremely good understanding of each other's strengths, lineups, and routines. Of course, the Pacers know better how to kill the Jazz. Although the Jazz understand the Pacers, they have no idea how to kill the Pacers. .

The coaches of both sides did not change their starting lineup today. There is no need.

They all know who can make a difference on the court and who can only have the opposite effect.

Lin Tian, ​​Miller, Christie, Barkley, Schmitz.

Stockton, Russell, Hornacek, Malone, Faki.

When the ten players who were very familiar to everyone walked onto the court, the fans in the City Square Arena released their first wave of enthusiasm tonight!

All the fans are extremely excited and excited, and they even have more expectations and excitement than the players!

After all, they have been waiting for more than 20 years since the Pacers joined the NBA! The Pacers players didn't have to wait that long.

They are already looking forward crazily to the championship award ceremony at home after this game!

The fans also shouted their first wave of slogans as soon as the game started.

"Don't let David run back and forth! Let him finish his work tonight and go back to New York for vacation!"

Well, how about saying that Indiana people are of high quality?

Everyone began to worry about whether Mr. President's work would be too intensive and whether his body would be too exhausted.

rest early!

We Hoosiers are so caring!

On the court, during the Pacers' first offensive round, Lin Tian held the ball and looked at Stockton, who was standing in front of him, ready and ready to go. He was obviously very nervous and said easily: "John, you haven't realized it yet." Are you there? Unless you push me down with a flagrant foul, you have no way to guard me."

"But it's a pity that you can only use this trick twice in one game."

"Just give it a try, Lin! Just give it a try and see if I can guard you tonight!" Stockton still wanted to be tough, but just halfway through his words, Lin Tian passed by him!

They are all so familiar, Lin Tian knows that against Stockton, there is no need to use any fancy gadgets, just do it! Just force the acceleration and pass Stockton cleanly in one step!

This is a dimension-reducing blow and absolute crushing in terms of physical fitness!

No matter how hard, serious and determined you are, you can't change or solve this thing.

After passing Stockton in one step, Russell's defense came very quickly. He was in front of Lin Tian almost the moment Lin Tian rushed into the 3-point line, blocking his attack. Obviously, although this guy was not right Lin Tian went directly to double-team, but he kept paying attention to Lin Tian and was always ready to help defend.

Facing Russell, Lin Tian also didn't hesitate at all. With a quick one-handed change of direction at low altitude and a 360-degree turn, Lin Tian also passed Russell cleanly in one step, killing it to three seconds. At the edge of the zone, facing Feiji, who came up to help the defense and was ready to protect the basket, Lin Tian stood up from the ground again and raised the ball with both hands!

The two of them seemed to be competing to see who could jump higher, and they lifted up towards the sky together. Then, just when Feiji opened his arms, confident that he could definitely defend Lin Tian's ball, Lin Tian suddenly put away the ball with both hands. Then the basketball was handed out again from Fiki's armpit.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian passed three people in a row and scored a three-on-one layup!

After scoring the goal, Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "Is this the level of your hard work?"

Of course, this arrogant scene was completely captured on the big screen at the scene, and the entire arena immediately erupted into bursts of crazy shouts! Fans, this is what they want to see most!

The Jazz's offense, at least it seems, they are indeed well prepared tonight. It was Hornacek who dribbled the ball forward, while Stockton opened the distance early and stood at the other end of the court, allowing Lin Tian There was no way to perform a full-court press on Hornacek.

At this distance, if Lin Tian goes to defend Hornacek, he will never have time to come back and defend Stockton. The person who sends the baseline ball can pass the ball to Stockton on the other side.

Through these games, the Jazz have already figured out how to close Stockton with Lin Tian and quickly complete the advancement.

But the Jazz were only as relaxed as dribbling the ball across the frontcourt.

As soon as Hornacek stood in front of the 3-point line, Christie's personal defense came up to him! Although Christie's defense does not have too much physical confrontation, his defensive skills are absolutely top-notch in the league. His size is enough to allow him to cover most angles and spaces for Hornacek's offense and breakthrough, allowing Hornacek to attack and break through. The beating was very uncomfortable!

Stockton on the other side was clinging to Lin Tian. Even if the ball was given to Stockton, it would only be someone else locked up by the Pacers.

In desperation, Hornacek could only choose to pass the ball to Russell, who encountered a slightly lighter defense. Russell also knew that the team's outside trio was the only one facing Miller's defense. His level was not top-notch, so he feinted with the ball, then lowered his head and rushed into the paint!

Well, it was very easy, and I passed Miller cleanly in one step!

But less than two seconds later, Russell realized that he was wrong!

As soon as he reached the edge of the 3-second zone, Barkley and Schmitz surrounded him at the same time. He was just stunned for a moment, and was about to look for Malone or Fiki, who must have been left open at this moment, to distribute the ball. , but Miller behind him has also rushed up.

"Snapped!"

Miller pulled it out from behind him, and the basketball immediately escaped Russell's control and fell into Barkley's arms.

Barkley gave the ball to Miller immediately, and Miller quickly launched a counterattack from the center.

After just one shot of the ball, Miller passed the ball to Lin Tian in front of him on the left. Lin Tian didn't take the ball at all, but directly passed the ball behind his back and gave the ball to Christie on the right. Steve then dunked the ball to Miller who followed up in the middle.

When Miller received the ball, he was already less than 3 meters away from the three-point line. He also did not hesitate after receiving the ball, passing the ball with one hand and the basketball flew towards the basket.

Just when the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Lin Tian had already hugged the basketball, then took off and slid from one side of the basket to the other side. Then he suddenly straightened his waist and slammed his hands towards the basket behind his head. Smashed it over.

"boom!"

After a bang, the Pacers' signature third-line fast break was completed! In the whole process, only Miller dribbled the ball when launching a fast break. During the rest of the process, the Pacers did not dribble once!

The defensive system that the Jazz were proud of and relied on for survival seemed so weak and pale at this moment.

They couldn't keep up!

I can't keep up with everything!

Then the Jazz attacked, and the basketball finally came into Malone's hands. This guy is indeed recognized as the number one power forward in the league today. He was probably even the number one power forward in NBA history before Duncan's rise. He pushed away Buck. Lee, knocked over Schmitz, and hit 2 points hard and fiercely!

"Work harder, guys! Remember what we said before the game! Beat them up! For dignity, for..." Malone's words to boost morale after scoring the goal suddenly stopped here.

Because Lin Tian, ​​who had just returned to the baseline to catch the ball, spotted Malone's position, swatted the basketball in the direction of Malone, and passed the ball under his crotch. At the same time, Lin Tian immediately accelerated and threw the ball behind Malone. Got the ball and launched another counterattack!

No matter how thick-skinned Ma Long was, it was impossible for him to open his mouth to encourage morale after being dribbled through his crotch. He could only shut up quickly, and then turned around to defend Lin Tian.

But how can his speed be compared with Lin Tian? Especially when Lin Tian was determined to make a quick counterattack, Malone had just returned to the 3-point line, and Lin Tian had already reached the Jazz's basket, with Hornacek and Russell on his side. Pulling up the lever and forcing a layup, he hit again!

Not only did he hit the ball, he also caused Russell's thug to foul!

It’s just fierce! I just want to chase your Jazz’s ass!

After the ball, Lin Tian, ​​who hit the free throw line, looked at Malone and chuckled: "Give up, Karl, today is Sunday and the postman doesn't work!"

"Shh!"

Before Malone could respond, Lin Tian accurately hit the extra free throw and scored 7 points in a row after the start!

Looking back, the Pacers' defense against Malone became even more fierce. The basketball hit Malone twice, but he didn't get a chance to make a shot. Both times, he passed the ball. Unfortunately, today's Jazz, except for Malone, In addition, no one else can stand up at this time.

Hornacek and Stockton are tightly entangled by Lin Tian and Christie. The remaining players, whether it is Feiki or Russell, are functional players without any independent offensive ability. In the Jazz Their offensive system couldn't work at all and their tactics were all run to death. The two of them really had no scoring ability.

As for those off the court...

Just don’t mention it! If it were reliable, Sloan would have let them play!

"Buzz!"

A buzzer suddenly sounded. Stockton, who was still holding the ball against Lin Tian outside the 3-point line, hoping to find some offensive opportunities, glanced at the timer in despair. The timer had reached its end.

The Jazz were defended by the Pacers for 24 seconds!

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

"Beware of these Salt Lake City bastards!"

"Let them go to hell!"

"Championship! We will win the championship tonight!"

The Pacers fans sent out deafening cheers and shouts around the stadium. Compared with the team's unsolvable offense in these two rounds, it was the team's defense in these two rounds that made them more excited!

At first, they were worried that the Pacers would be relaxed and play too lazily on the court because the championship was in sight.

But now that I look at it, I realize that I am just overthinking it!

Our team has never been overly relaxed because victory is in sight!

The closer they are to victory, the harder these people will play!

Because most people in this team have really waited too long!

Although the Pacers started with great momentum under the leadership of Lin Tian, ​​their offensive success rate dropped slightly after Lin Tian scored 7 consecutive points in the opening period, and they failed to hit several consecutive attacks.

But fortunately, Barkley and Miller, a pair of internal and external stars, immediately took over the firepower when the team needed them. They each scored one goal from inside and outside, and jointly scored 5 points.

Just halfway through the first quarter, the Pacers scored 12 points. Although it was not many, the Jazz was obviously even worse! They were guarded by the Pacers and almost couldn't score points at all.

They have played so far and still only scored a pitiful 2 points!

At this point in the game, Sloan was really desperate.

He tried every move and every method, even resorting to crying and resigning, but he couldn't save the game at all.

What made him most desperate was that it wasn't even the players' fault, or even his fault. This game, this series, really gave Sloan the feeling of a dimensionality-reducing blow.

The Jazz and Pacers seem like they shouldn't be in the same league at all! Their strength is very different!

There is no way, the Pacers, but they are warriors who have risen from the dead after seven games with a Bulls team and a stronger Jordan than Lin Tian remembered! In terms of mentality, how to deal with difficulties, preparation for adversity, etc., the Pacers are far ahead of the Jazz!

And more importantly, the Jazz's strong point is the Pacers! As for the Pacers' strengths, the Jazz are powerless!

In addition, the Pacers' scoring points are spread across almost the entire team, and on the Jazz side, except for Malone, there is no second reliable and trustworthy person to score.

Lin Tian and Christie completely put Stockton and Hornacek at a disadvantage!

No, it might be more appropriate to say it was a complete beating!

In the next half of the game, Bird was not in a hurry to continue to open up the score. He asked Barkley and Miller to rest early, and then began the rotation of the lineup.

The Jazz finally started to score by relying on the gaps in the Pacers' lineup rotation.

Malone, Russell, and Hornacek scored one after another, making the team's score less embarrassing.

But although the Pacers' two veterans are not here, Lin Tian is still on the court. With him, not only Stockton still seems to have disappeared, but Lin Tian's own offensive power is still unstoppable to the Jazz.

In the first quarter of the game, Lin Tian scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Stockton, who was easily defended, made 2 of 0 shots. In addition to not scoring 1 point, he only sent 1 assist, but it was good. Stockton didn't dribble much tonight, so he didn't make a single turnover in the first quarter.

Tonight's Stockton finally played better than in the previous games.

In previous games, he was undercover as a side effect. Tonight, he was finally able to make 0 contributions and not be undercover. He was just slightly invisible on the court.

27: 15!

The Pacers still led by 12 points in the first quarter!

"I have never seen Stockton defended so miserably in my life! Facing Lin, he really had no power to fight back. I have never seen such a disparity in a matchup!" Intersection During the break, Smith couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Stockton, who was sitting on the bench panting heavily as if he had played a whole game.

“这轮系列赛打到现在为止，斯托克顿场均只有5.3分6次助攻，场均命中率更是低到27%，11%和80%！而他的失误数更是达到了5.6次！他的助攻失误比几乎就达到了1：1！”

"Except for the fact that his free throws are still solid, Stockton really has nothing to praise in this series. Even with his free throws, although his shooting percentage is high, in the first three games of the series, he has... I only got 5 free throws in total.”

"With such a small number of free throws, even if his free throw percentage is 100%, there is no way he can help the team win with this."

Marcus's subsequent speech was more direct: "I think that after this series, Stockton will completely bid farewell to the league's top point guards. His state is really too bad! Even he The defense we are so proud of is so bad!”

"34.3 points, 9.7 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 4.0 steals! Coupled with 57%, 44% and 91% shooting percentages and only 2.3 turnovers per game, Lin can't even do it in this series. Said he beat Stockton to pieces."

"If you ask me, Stockton can retire directly. In this series, Lin is just rushing to beat people out of retirement! It's too cruel!"

Over at China Sports, Su Qun was so excited that he was a little carried away. He said loudly: "I think after this series, who is the number one point guard and who is the best in the NBA and even in the world?" There is no need to elaborate on the topic of number position.”

"Lin Tian! He is currently the number one player in the world! Anyone who disagrees with this answer is either stupid or bad!"

"Payton, Stockton, Kidd, Strickland, Hardaway...these point guards who are still at the top have either been completely defeated by Lin Tian face to face in the playoffs, or I don’t even have a chance to compete with Lin Tian!”

"I think that after winning this championship and his first FMVP, Lin Tian's goal should no longer be any point guard in the league. His goal should be Jordan, O'Neal, David... Robinson or other top players in the league who are at their peak! His goal should be the number one player currently!"
