NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 244 Carter’s terrifying impact! Bad news from Indiana!

Seeing Carter comforting himself and regaining a little confidence, Lin Tian also turned around and went to the backcourt to catch the basketball, and then began to advance towards the frontcourt.

At the same time, Lin Tian noticed from the corner of his eye that Carter and Jordan on the other side had been entangled with each other early!

Seeing Carter's painful look, Jordan obviously taught this young boy a good lesson right from the start.

It was either an iron elbow or a knee. Anyway, looking at Carter, it was really painful!

"Vince, use your advantage!" Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but did not rush to give the ball to Carter, but gave Carter another reminder.

Lin Tian just wanted some experience points or skills. He didn't want Carter to die.

Then Lin Tian didn't care whether Carter could figure it out. He suddenly raised a hand and tried to pass the ball in Carter's direction. Ward immediately took two steps sideways, trying to cut off Lin Tian's pass!

After all, Lin Tian and Carter’s public conspiracy just now was clearly heard by everyone on the court!

But after Lin Tian's hand changed an incredible angle in the air, his palm suddenly pushed the ball to the other side, dribbling behind his back and moving horizontally, Lin Tian easily closed the distance between him and Ward. Open to at least 2 meters!

How could Lin miss such an opportunity? He immediately accelerated and rushed inside!

Ewing immediately moved sideways and stood in front of Lin Tian, ​​baring his teeth and claws, trying to block Lin Tian's attack.

Lin Tian's eyes at this moment had already glanced to the other side. After glancing towards Carter and Jordan, Lin Tian suddenly threw the basketball in his hand towards that side!

Almost at the same time, Carter, who had just suffered a few hidden losses, suddenly became fierce and slammed his shoulder towards Jordan, gaining some space for himself, and then suddenly accelerated to make an air cut, still 3 seconds away. Two steps later, Lin Tian's ball was caught with both hands!

Then without dribbling or taking steps, Carter once again ignored gravity and stood up!

Ewing, who had just been attracted by Lin Tian, ​​wanted to turn around but it was too late. He could only look back and watch Carter's body completely stretch, and then he dunked towards the basket with both hands!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Carter swung on the rim twice, then let go of his hands and landed on the floor.

"Buzz!"

Then came his signature celebration, the Harley motorcycle hit the road!

"Nice dunk Vince! I knew you could clearly find your advantages!" Lin Tian and Carter high-fived, very pleased!

If today's Carter wants to compete with Jordan by holding the ball one-on-one, he will definitely be asking for death. Jordan's experience, defense and those little moves will definitely make Carter's life worse than death!

But what if it’s not more about offense with the ball, but more about talent?

In terms of speed, physical strength, and jumping, Carter can definitely crush Jordan today!

Therefore, just after Lin Tian reminded him, Carter immediately realized that Lin Tian was not letting him hold the ball to attack Jordan, but letting him use his speed and ability without the ball to score!

After all, Jordan is 36!

He can still contain most opponents in 1-on-1, but if the opponent wants to run and compete with him, then Jordan really has nothing to do!

Again, no one can beat time!

In the rest of the first quarter, Carter, who was very knowledgeable, hardly stopped for even a moment on the offensive end. He was running every second. He was either cutting in the air or running to the weak side to open up space.

And Jordan was following behind him, not to mention that he was exhausted, but it was definitely much more tiring than chasing Christie!

Off the court, Van Gundy certainly knows that the Jordan he has now is not at his peak, and his physical strength and sustainability are not as good as those of previous years.

He thought several times about changing the matchup to make Jordan easier.

But looking at the Pacers' remaining two perimeter players, Miller and Lin Tian, ​​he gave up on the idea.

Chasing those two guys will only make Jordan more tired!

Helpless, Van Gundy could only keep shouting off the court.

Let everyone pay attention to defense and everyone to help defend and fill positions.

Of course, Jordan's defense is just not as good as his own in his prime. His current defensive ability is still among the top in the league!

With Carter's off-the-ball skills, he had no problem stealing a chicken and hitting one at first, but in the following few minutes, Carter didn't get many chances.

However, the important thing is not how many opportunities Carter gets, but Carter's impact is so strong that Jordan dare not really ignore him at all. He must concentrate and follow Carter all the time!

This is one of the important reasons why sometimes you are very tired and your physical strength is depleted very quickly even if the object you are defending has never got the ball.

Players who are good off the ball can tire out their opponents without having to hold the ball.

Well, it’s not Carter we’re talking about here, it’s Miller!

In the second half of the first quarter, when the opponent's energy and attention were on Lin Tian and Carter, Miller also started his most signature mode of running without the ball and catching jump shots.

In less than 5 minutes, Miller ran out of opportunities outside the 4-point line 3 times and received passes, and then took decisive shots and hit 3 of them!

Relying on his firepower of scoring three consecutive 5-pointers within 3 minutes, the Pacers gained an 8-point advantage in the first quarter!

25: 33!

The Pacers firmly control the initiative in the game!

It is worth mentioning that both Jordan and Lin Tian played the entire first quarter and each scored the highest score for their team: Jordan 19 points and Lin Tian 12 points!

But Jordan was sweating profusely at the moment, making people feel very tired, while Lin Tian was leisurely sitting on the bench, drinking a drink, and recovering his strength.

The age gap between the two people has become more and more obvious as time goes by.

Of course, there is also the fact that Ward basically has no threat without the ball. When attacking, he mainly stands near the top of the arc to direct and distribute the ball. Carter, however, has unlimited energy and runs all over the court like Sonic the Hedgehog, allowing Jordan to Don't dare to relax at all!

Because Carter's impact is too strong! As long as he speeds up and rushes forward, even if the Knicks have Ewing and Oakley inside, there's nothing they can do against him!

Carter was able to rely on his fearlessness and boundless energy. Although he only scored 4 points in the first quarter, he made the entire Knicks defense jittery and nervous!

After all, when other players rush into the paint, they rush in, and when they score, they score. But when Carter rushes in, it is guaranteed to be a top ten goal. Maybe it will appear as a background board on a poster and be hung up by countless people. On my bedside.

Who can afford to shame this person!

In the second quarter of the game, Van Gundy, who is cautious in employing personnel and does not like to use too many rotations. Van Gundy, who likes to beat the main players to death, let Jordan and Ewing continue to play in order to quickly recover the point difference! Also on the court were Starks, Thomas and Charlie Ward.

On the Pacers' side, Bird's employment was much bolder. Carter walked onto the court with second-round pick Buckner, veteran Mullin, Big Ben, and Davis!

With such a lineup, Carter and Mullin are naturally the main focus!

Carter, who became the main attacker, did his part. He took the initiative to ask for the ball at the top of the key in the first round. After running and testing in the first quarter, Carter felt: he can do it!

Then, he started dribbling, and wanted to use the same method in the first quarter, using his speed and fast and huge steps to break through Jordan.

It's one thing when you're not holding the ball, but it's another thing when you're holding the ball!

Carter changed several moves at the top of the arc, but Jordan in front of him was unmoved and always maintained his position and oppressed Carter.

He dribbled continuously for 10 seconds. Not to mention breaking through Jordan, he was almost stopped by Jordan twice!

At the same time, he had to endure endless trash talk from Jordan!

But fortunately, Carter is not Kobe or Iverson. If it were those two guys, he would definitely be on top now, and he would have to compete with Jordan no matter what. Carter chose to be rational at this time, and if he couldn't beat him, then Don't fight!

He distributed the ball and gave it to Mullin, letting the big brother decide how to play this round.

Facing his old rival Starks, Mullin had an absolute advantage in tonnage and size, so he turned around very directly and started to crush the inside.

After a few pushes to reach the mid-range, Mullin suddenly turned around and wanted to shoot a mid-range jumper, but as soon as he turned around, he found that there was someone in front of him.

Michael Jordan!

Jordan took out the basketball Mullin wanted to take, then turned around and launched a counterattack towards the frontcourt!

Along the way, although Carter concentrated on keeping himself in front of Jordan, he was faced with Jordan's ubiquitous fake movements. No matter how talented Carter was, he was deceived by Jordan and his center of gravity was thrown around. In the end, he was defeated by Jordan. After cheating, he leaned against him again and hit a 2+1!

After scoring the goal, Jordan rarely talked trash. Instead, he walked to the free throw line and waited for the free throw. At the same time, his chest kept heaving. Even if it was just the first offense of the second quarter, Jordan looked like, The consumption is very large!

"It seems that the strategy of letting him attack wildly and letting Vince keep running in the first quarter worked." Lin Tian watched Jordan stand on the free throw line and steadily hit the ball and said: "There is a high probability that he will play the entire game. The first half! And he will definitely continue to bombard in the first half of the game while his physical strength is still sufficient!"

"I think Michael's idea is to open up the score as much as possible in the first half and make the suspense of the game disappear! He wants to strike first and eliminate the suspense of the game in the first half!"

"But he obviously underestimated us." Bird said indifferently: "Destroying the game at halftime? He didn't even look at who his opponent was! Lin, you can rest. Before they tie the score, you You don’t even have to play.”

"Let them consume themselves again! Wait until they are exhausted, and then you can go on stage and educate them properly!"

After listening to Bird's words, Lin Tian nodded, but to be honest, Lin Tian originally thought that he would have to sit back for 1-2 minutes at most before returning to the court. After all, Jordan on the court now has entered a violent mode and belongs to the team. The state of finding ways to keep scoring.

With neither himself nor Miller here, it's hard to say how long these people on the court can hold up!

But to Lin Tian's surprise, although the next attack on the Pacers still failed, Jordan once again hit Carter in the low post and hit Carter's stomach with an elbow, then pulled up and hit again. 2 minutes!

After a wave of 5:0, Lin Tian was ready to stand up and go on the field, but Carter was completely beaten by this!

FUXX! You really think I'm a newbie and can rub it as I please, right?

You really think I'm not angry and you can bully me casually, right?

Come!

In the next round, Carter no longer hesitated or thought about anything. After getting the ball, he lowered his head and hit the inside hard!

This kind of reckless play actually produced miraculous results. Not only did Carter successfully rush into the paint, but he also forced a jump against Jordan and scored 2 points under the basket in return!

"Come on, old dog! Come on! You old loser who should have retired a long time ago! Let me see what else you can do!" Perhaps because he suffered too many losses on the defensive end, Carter has completely forgotten about it at this moment. What horrible legends about Jordan, and forget not to anger this man.

He is already red-eyed!

In the next 3 minutes, Carter actually played neck and neck with Jordan! The point difference between the two sides has always been hovering in the range of 3-7 points!

"Vince is indeed the most outstanding talent in North Carolina after Jordan! In these few minutes, he showed the potential of a superstar! I now really believe that the backcourt combination of him and Lin can become the league's next ten years. It’s a nightmare for every team!” After watching these few minutes of the game, Kenny came to a very heartfelt conclusion.

As for Barkley, he praised his little brother even more, and also criticized the old man by the way: "I told you before! Vince is the answer to the Pacers' second position! Some old men who are about to lose all their teeth." , it is best to retire as soon as possible, and stop occupying the manhole and affecting the growth of young people!"

"Vince dunks more in one game than some people put together in their entire lives! How can some people really be so thick-skinned that they keep occupying the starting position and never let go?"

Everyone knew that Barkley and Miller had a good relationship. Barkley dared to say this, but Kenny, who was not familiar with Miller, did not dare to answer. If he did, it would be an accident on the show!

So, Kenny quickly changed his attention and said: "Look! Vince was deceived by Michael again! This time... What a foul! Carter actually has such a fierce side? I am really impressed by him!"

On the court, Carter, who was admired by Kenny, was standing there at the moment. Just now, because he was shaken by Jordan and didn't want to be beaten 2+1, he gave Jordan a vicious foul!

As a result, Jordan definitely couldn't score 2+1, but Carter also received a flagrant foul, which was really not worth the gain!

In particular, after this foul, Carter's personal fouls have accumulated to 3 times!

Although he scored 4 points in the first 8 minutes of the second quarter and played back and forth with Jordan, at this time, Bird could only let him go down and take a rest.

"I'm sorry, I... was impulsive because he elbowed me!" Carter took advantage of the timeout to walk off the court and said as he unzipped his clothes aggrievedly. There were three obvious bruises and blood clots on his stomach. , obviously all gifts given to him by Jordan!

"I'll help you get revenge!" Lin Tian patted Carter on the shoulder and said, "You've done a great job! If I were you, I would copy the 4 minutes of this game to a disc and keep it forever!"

"Because in those few minutes, Vince, you and Michael were on par! You and he got into an explosive situation! There are not many people in this league who can do this!"

"Really!" After hearing this, Carter, who was a little depressed just now and felt that he was holding the team back, suddenly became excited.

"Of course it's true! Go back and watch the video!" Lin Tian patted Carter on the shoulder and said: "After this game, you will be officially regarded by everyone as a future superstar! You can definitely do it! "

"Vince Carter has mood swings and drops 200 experience points!"

As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, the system gave another reward!

Carter was so excited by Lin Tian's pie, as if he had become a superstar, won the MVP, and became a championship!

As Jordan made the free throw and the timeout ended, players from both sides returned to the court again. The Knicks did not perform any personnel rotation. Lineup adjustments have never been Van Gundy's strong point.

Bird's side has the outside trio of Lin Tian, ​​Miller, and Mullin, as well as the inside partnership of Schmitz and Big Ben.

Today, the Pacers' strategic goal is to consume Jordan, target Jordan, and quickly consume Jordan's physical strength. So Christie, a guy who is not very good at offense and running and can save Jordan a lot of effort on the defensive end, is somewhat inappropriate. , so his playing time in the first half tonight is destined to be very little!

However, Christie has never been the kind of person who cares about playing time in one or two games. He took a very open mind and sat on the bench quietly and honestly.

40: 43!

After the Knicks sent a sideline kick, the point difference between the two sides was only 3 points!

You can catch up in one round!

The Pacers sent the third person to defend Jordan tonight, Lin Tian!

"I thought you'd never play against me in your life!" Seeing Lin Tian finally come, Jordan, who had already scored 29 points in the first half, felt extremely relaxed. His touch was excellent tonight, and he was Absolute confidence can defeat Lin Tian.

"I don't know what to do? Tell me, who was so hard on the floor in the Eastern Conference finals last season that I almost retired? Huh? Was it your grandma?" God Lin will pamper Jordan while spewing trash talk. , seeing the opportunity, he stabbed Jordan in the waist.

Jordan hissed in pain, but didn't say much. Instead, he quickly turned around after receiving the ball and was about to shoot!

But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Tian's pre-season upgrade, his strength, reaction and tackling ability had all been significantly improved! He also used the feeling of bullying Carter in the Eastern Conference finals to beat Lin Tian, ​​of course he would suffer!

"Snapped!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian intercepted the ball with a slap, and then launched a fast break towards the frontcourt!

It’s still the very familiar third-line fast break!

The difference is that Lin Tian attacks in the middle, Mullin and Miller stand on either side, one on the left and one on the right. Miller is in front, Mullin is behind, and Lin Tian occupies the most central position while observing his teammates' opportunities. While looking for holes in the Knicks defense!

Well, then Lin Tian saw at a glance that the Knicks' defense was full of flaws!

It's not that the Knicks don't defend well, they defend very well. Van Gundy is based in the league on defense!

The problem is, with Lin Tian's current assault ability, when he advances at full speed with the ball, no matter which team, there will be a huge defensive hole!

He's too much of a threat!

Most teams will choose to shrink the inside at this time.

This will at least prevent the Pacers from scoring in the near and mid-range.

But in this case, there will inevitably be empty spaces outside the 3-point line!

Miller and Mullin were all missed!

After a slight hesitation, Lin Tian chose to trust his old partner Miller and passed the ball behind his back to Miller. Miller did not hesitate after catching the ball, picked it up and threw it!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Miller hit a 3-pointer and scored his fourth 3-pointer tonight!

His condition tonight is really good! Then, Lin Tian suddenly raised his hand while defending and called another defensive tactic. So, when Jordan wanted to start a personal attack again, he was stopped outside the three-second zone by Ben, who suddenly appeared. Coupled with Lin Tian and the baseline behind him, Jordan was attacked on three sides in the blink of an eye!

The double-teaming tactic that Lin Tian suddenly called out once again worked wonders!

Jordan's reaction was quick enough this time. Knowing that he was in dire straits, he suddenly jumped up and threw the ball toward the outside with both hands. Starks caught the basketball, dribbled it for a moment, and then hit it. He forced Mullin to take action!

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, the Knicks' luck is still not very good. This jump shot with a very good rhythm and feel still failed to make the basket!

The rebound was taken by Mullin. The old comrade lowered his head as quickly as possible to launch a counterattack, while finding Lin Tian during the fast break and passing the ball.

After Lin Tian caught the ball, he suddenly stopped two steps outside the 3-point line and pulled back. The entire Knicks defense, which was retreating rapidly, was completely stunned. No one was running towards the basket anymore. Everyone wants to see what Lin Tian is doing!

Of course, Lin Tian would not let go of this moment when all his opponents were stunned. He threw the ball towards the basket with both hands. At this moment, the Knicks' 3-second zone was extremely empty, and both insiders were inexplicable. Lin Tianding was pinned near the free throw line. It was too late to recover the basket!

Ewing could only look back and watch Miller cut into the basket from the baseline, then jump high and dunk the ball into the basket with one hand!

"This shot is 5% as good as Vince's!" Lin Tian stretched out his hand, high-fived Miller, who scored five points in a row, and laughed at him.

"Both are 2 points, what's the difference?" Miller snorted, too lazy to pay attention to Lin Tian.

Let yourself compete with Carter in dunking, why not let yourself compete with O'Neal in rebounding? Just beat yourself to death!

For the next few minutes, Van Gundy was at a loss as to what to do.

His original plan was to use the time when the main players were full of energy and vitality to open up the score and expand the advantage as much as possible, so that even if his players were weak in the third quarter, they would not be pulled by the Pacers all of a sudden. Open the score.

But the current situation is that the Pacers let Jordan play in isolation and let him keep scoring. But although Jordan can keep scoring, the Pacers' firepower is obviously stronger!

Jordan almost scored 30 points before halftime was over, but what was the result?

behind!

This situation, let alone Van Gundy, is extremely rare even in Jordan's career.

The firepower of the Pacers is really scary!

"Patrick! You take over Michael's offense! Hit a few inside!" Seeing that Jordan's physical strength is depleted quickly, if he continues to play like this, let alone the fourth quarter, Jordan might be tired after playing half of the third quarter. Weak.

After all, I am 36!

This season, even though Van Gundy's hiring strategy has always been to defeat the main force, he was also sparing Jordan! Jordan only played 36 minutes this season! Although it is still a lot, this is already the lowest in his career!

You know, last season, Jordan still had 38 minutes of playing time!

Van Gundy would rather lose some games and let Jordan maintain his physical fitness as much as possible so that he can be full of firepower in the playoffs!

But today's game is about first place in the Eastern Conference, and it is also a grudge game, so Van Gundy came up with a playoff-level rotation, hoping to get the upper hand.

But so far, his strategy has obviously failed!

After the Knicks started attacking Ewing, their offensive efficiency was still very high! After all, with Jordan on the side and the Pacers lacking height inside, Ewing was able to exert some dominance!

Coupled with the connection between him and Jordan from time to time, the Knicks' offense is no worse than when Jordan was the main offense.

However, the Pacers have even more firepower!

Especially when Miller and Mullin, the two top shooters in the league, positioned themselves on the left and right, and Lin Tian broke through with the ball in the middle, the Knicks' defense also encountered a huge crisis! They were completely unable to guard against the Pacers' simple-sounding breakout offensive system.

The 3-point shooter is too accurate, the ball holder breaks through too hard, and the ball distribution is too stable. The Knicks are really powerless!

Especially Miller's touch was amazing tonight. He hit 6 three-pointers in the first half and scored a team-high 22 points!

And Lin Tian also scored perfect statistics of 19 points, 7 assists and 0 turnovers at the end of the first half!

Under the strong performance of Miller, Lin Tian, ​​and Carter, even though Jordan scored 33 points in the half and Ewing scored 13 points and 7 rebounds, the Pacers still maintained their lead at the end of the first half. Lead!

61: 65!

But on the other hand, when the Pacers' two stars in the backcourt scored such explosive scores, Carter and Jordan on the bench once exchanged blows, but the Pacers only led by 4 points, which is enough to show that this Knicks team He is definitely qualified to compete with the Pacers for the Eastern Conference championship!

"Charles, the first half of the game was really exciting!" Kenny said to Barkley during the intermission: "How was it? Who do you think took the initiative and won the game in the second half?"

"Pacers! Of course it's the Pacers!" Barkley said decisively: "The Pacers' main players have shorter playing time and longer rotations, and there is no problem with their physical strength! Perhaps the only hidden danger is Carter's three fouls. "

"But the Knicks are completely different. Jordan played a full 24 minutes in the first half, and Ewing also played a full 22 minutes. In the second half of the game, these two old guys, both in their 30s, will definitely have better physical strength and condition. Big drop!”

"In the second half of the game, the Pacers will definitely slowly take control of the initiative on the court!"

During the halftime break, two coaches with completely different styles gave almost the same guidance.

"We played well in the first half, keep working hard in the second half!"

Anyway, Bird said this from the bottom of his heart. The tactics he laid out and the strategic goals he wanted to achieve were all achieved. He was really satisfied.

As for Van Gundy...

What else could he say besides being satisfied?

He arranged the tactics, and the players played according to his instructions. In the end, if we failed to achieve the set goal, we certainly can't blame the players, right?

More than ten minutes later, players from both sides took to the court again, ready to fight in the second half of the game!

Bird once again changed his starting lineup for the second half, replacing Christie with Carter. Obviously, Bird wanted to continue to put huge pressure on the Knicks' defense, leaving Jordan unable to rest and continuing to consume Jordan!

The first wave of possession in the second half belonged to the Knicks. Ward dribbled the ball slowly across the frontcourt, and then glanced at Lin Tian in front of him. He did not break through or get any advantage from Lin Tian. idea, but passed the ball to Jordan very directly.

Leave it to big brother, big brother will come!

After Jordan got the ball, he faced Carter, whose confidence surged. His elbow strikes and other small moves that were still useful in the first half and made Carter afraid were completely ineffective in the second half!

Carter is not afraid anymore! He even posted it on his own initiative, wanting to have a good fight with Jordan!

The exchange of blows during the second quarter really gave Carter great confidence!

Jordan's character has always been fierce if you are fierce, and he is even fiercer!

Faced with Carter's provocative defense that almost stuck his head in his face, Jordan's ferocity was completely aroused. He lowered his center of gravity and arched towards the inside with all his strength!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" With continuous muffled sounds, Jordan almost brutally pushed Carter towards the inside. He was also bursting with ferocity at this moment. He wanted to teach Carter a good lesson. The confrontation between the two was so exciting!

After all, Carter is a rookie. Although his physical fitness is explosive, his strength, experience and defensive skills are still far behind Jordan.

Just after Jordan pushed him into the 3-second zone, Jordan suddenly exerted force again. Carter almost couldn't stand and fell down!

But all Carter could do was not fall down!

He staggered and held onto the ground with one hand, but his entire center of gravity was lost and he completely lost his defensive position.

Just when Jordan was proudly preparing to stand up and shoot, a thin figure suddenly rushed over from the side of Jordan and poked the basketball in his hand!

Reggie Miller!

"Snapped!"

The somewhat careless Jordan was embarrassed by Miller's sneak attack. The basketball immediately escaped Jordan's control and flew towards the sideline!

Miller reacted extremely quickly. He sprinted towards the basketball. Then he threw himself into the sky just before the basketball went out of bounds. He was almost parallel to the floor, and then he grabbed the basketball. , turned around in the air, found Lin Tian, ​​and passed the ball!

"Good shot!" Lin Tian roared, turned around and launched an unstoppable attack towards the Knicks' half court!

The ball was intercepted suddenly, and Miller's ultimate save was even more sudden. The Knicks had no time to catch up with Lin Tian, ​​who had already picked up his speed. Ward, who was originally delayed at the end, was passed by Lin Tian in one step. It was so clean that even Lin Tian’s body hair could not be touched!

"boom!"

After all the impact, Lin Tian did not disappoint the Pacers fans. After crossing the free throw line, he jumped up at the dotted line of the lower arc of the free throw line. Holding the basketball with one hand, he performed a one-handed dunk with a very long gliding distance!

After scoring the goal, Lin Tiang was about to do something to celebrate, but suddenly found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The Pacers players did not come towards Lin Tian to celebrate with him, and the fans at the scene did not cheer too much. Bird also left the bench and walked in the direction where Miller just fell out.

And everyone's eyes are looking in that direction now.

Lin Tian immediately realized that it was going to be bad!

He also kept taking one step and immediately ran in the direction of Miller.

Then, when he was still 2-3 meters away from the core area, Lin Tian clearly heard Miller's very painful groan.

When Lin Tian arrived, he saw Miller surrounded by team doctors, fans and teammates. This guy was covering his right wrist and screaming, his head covered with sweat from pain.

"Space! Air! Get out of the way! Reggie needs fresh air! You guys are too close! Too close!" The team doctor yelled eagerly, asking everyone to create space for them. When Lin Tian heard this, It is to immediately enter the innermost part of the circle.

Then he, Ben, Carter, and the others pushed the crowd toward the outside, quickly creating as much space as possible for Miller so that the team doctor could better diagnose Miller.

The experienced Miller knew what was most important at this time, and he began to quickly tell the team doctor about his injury situation: "I jumped a little hard, and then my leg got hung up when I jumped over the first row of chairs. The chair is off balance."

"Then my right hand reached the floor. Maybe it was in a wrong position when I was supporting the floor. I heard a sound like a 'click', and then it hurt! I couldn't move my wrist!"

"It's okay Reggie, it's okay. Let me take a look at it for you. If you can't move it, don't move it! Calm down, don't worry, let me take a look. Does it hurt here?" The team doctor calmly touched Miller's wrist little by little and searched. The location and condition of his injuries can be used to determine the severity of his injuries.

At this time, the entire City Plaza Arena was extremely quiet. Countless people closed their eyes and prayed for Miller, hoping that he would be okay. Bird also rarely said a word, looking at Miller and Miller with wide eyes. The surrounding team doctors are waiting for the final results.

All of Indiana fell into silence and silence.

From a certain perspective, although Lin Tian is the leader, core and strongest person of the team today, in the minds of many fans, Miller, who has played for the team for 12 seasons, is the real foundation and foundation of the team. Team spirit!

Miller's injury will undoubtedly affect the hearts of all Indiana!

It didn't take long for the team medical team to check the injury, and they made a quick judgment.

Before they stood up to talk to Bird and Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian and Bird smelled something bad from their eyes and expressions.

"It's very bad, my wrist is broken." The team doctor said: "It's a bit like Ewing's last year, but lighter than that. Reggie's bones were not completely broken, and he didn't almost pierce the skin."

"Tell me how long he has to rest, what impact it will have on him, and whether he needs surgery!" Bird interrupted the team doctor's slow report angrily.

"At least 8-12 weeks." The team doctor muttered: "As for the specific recovery plan, we need to further research and discuss it, and we can only confirm it after going to the hospital for further examination. But unless a miracle occurs, Reggie should be back this season. not coming."

"And even if he barely makes it to the playoffs, we don't recommend that he come back immediately to play in high-intensity games like the playoffs, as he can easily get injured again."

Bird nodded and didn't say much, but waved and said: "Then take care of it quickly, and then take Reggie to the hospital. Bring a few more people, and make sure to take good care of him and prevent him from getting injured again." .”

Although Bird said it simply, everyone could see the lingering irritation on his face.

Without Miller, the impact on the Pacers will definitely be huge!

他们少的可不仅仅是本赛季场均能拿下16分3篮板3助攻，能以45%命中率场均投中2.3个3分球的球队二号得分手和头号3分手。

What they lack is the team’s label and the team’s spirit of working hard and never giving up.

The entire Indiana season has been tainted with a layer of uncertainty after this accident.

After several team doctors simply fixed Miller's wrist, they called a stretcher and wanted to carry Miller out.

"Go away!" Miller pushed the stretcher away roughly with his still mobile left hand. He heard the conversation between Bird and the team doctor, and he knew that his season was over! And it was his most important right hand that was injured. Miller was in a worse mood than anyone else now!

Miller's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he thought that his season was basically canceled in advance, and that the injury to his right wrist would most likely affect his entire career.

He had a feeling: I'm finished!

For a shooter who relies on shooting for a living, everyone knows what it means if his shooting hand experiences such an injury to his wrist.

Miller pushed the stretcher away, stood up and said, "I don't need my right hand to walk! I don't need to be carried out! I will walk out by myself!"

Miller said, then raised his head and looked at Lin Tian and Bird and said: "Help me win this ball!" After saying that, Miller could no longer control his emotions, lowered his head, and did not dare to look again. Lin Tian, ​​he didn't want Lin Tian to see him crying, so he just walked all the way towards the player tunnel.

The fans in the entire stadium couldn't bear it at this moment. Although they didn't know the severity of Miller's injury, they could see Miller's obviously red eyes, tears and bad mood through the big screen.

They all had a very bad premonition.

"Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!"

"Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!"

Just like in the past 12 years, the fans roared at Miller with their most heartfelt voices and loud noises before Miller left the field!

This is the only way fans can give support to Miller. They hope Miller can come back soon!
