NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 258: Mourning wants to be dunked? I, Senior Official Lin, have never heard such a mean request in my life!

Hardaway was once the fastest player in the league and the best at dribbling breakthroughs. Now as he grows older and suffers more injuries, he is no longer as brave as he used to be. The speed and explosiveness that he relies on for survival have been greatly reduced. , Now facing Lin Tian who is at his peak, Hardaway actually feels very weak!

After all, Hardaway, who was at his peak a few years ago, was no match for Lin Tian, ​​not to mention Lin Tian, ​​who is obviously stronger now, and himself who is in worse shape?

Therefore, Hardaway, who is very self-aware, did not force the attack, but quickly distributed the ball to Leonard on the wing, and then moved towards the weak side.

"This is not your style, Tim." Lin Tian saw through Hardaway's thoughts immediately and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of me?"

"Do you think I'm like that boy from Philadelphia, who can get the best of me with just a few words and then start beating him up?" Hardaway did not look at Lin Tian, ​​but kept observing what was going on on the court and said calmly: "You It's better to put that thing away, it's of no use to me!"

"Really?" Lin Tian blocked Hardaway with his body and said with a smile: "I don't think it's useless. Before the game, I made a bet with Isaiah and the others, saying that your scoring average in this round will definitely be It won’t exceed 8 points!”

"Really? Whatever you want, but we will definitely accept the victory!" Hardaway is worthy of being an old man. At this moment, he is still unmoved, while Mashburn on the inside has already relied on his height and strength to crush the technical flow. Christie took the lead in scoring 2 points for the team!

"Maybe I'm not as good as you, but we have advantages in several other positions! Lin, you can't change the game alone!" When Hardaway saw his teammates scoring, he quickly returned to defense and started spraying Lin Tian. Trash talk.

"You also want me to get ahead of you, don't you? Tim, you'd better put away your tricks, it's of no use to me!" Lin Tian returned Hardaway's words in full, then asked for the ball and began to move towards the frontcourt. Advance.

"Maybe you can score 40 points in a game, maybe you can score a triple-double in every game! But don't let others play!" Hardaway was fully focused, and then directly stated the Heat's defensive strategy!

"Whatever you want!" After Lin Tian responded to Hardaway again, he had already arrived in the frontcourt. He first moved his crotch, then quickly dribbled the ball with a small change of direction, then suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye he was Leaving Hardaway behind!

"The killer changes direction! It's the killer's change of direction!" Su Qun, who was broadcasting the game live on China Channel tonight, immediately exclaimed: "This is Hardaway's famous stunt! The change of direction after dribbling under the crotch, Lin Tian was in Did you use this trick against Hardaway in the first round?"

"Provocation! Absolute provocation!"

Sun Zhengping said with a smile on the side: "Has Lin Tian recently watched "Dragon" and learned the secret skills of the Murong family in Gusu? The special skills of the opponent are used to deal with the opponent!"

Su Qun continued: "I think this is the confidence of an MVP player! Lin is the MVP! Of course he can do this kind of thing!"

After passing Hardaway in one step, Lin Tian didn't have to rush into the paint to challenge Mourning.

It’s not time yet! Not in a hurry.

He rushed forward quickly, attracted as much attention as possible from the Heat's defense, and then passed the ball to Rick Schmitz on one side.

After the Dutchman caught the ball, there was no one in front of him to defend him. He easily completed the shot and made a 2-pointer from the mid-range!

Schmitz, who has always been taciturn and plays in a low-key manner, whenever he encounters a heavy center like Mourning, it is when he shows off his soft touch and draws the opponent out of the 3-second zone!

After scoring the goal, Schmitz did not celebrate, nor did he stare at Mourning. Instead, he quickly turned around and participated in the defense!

However, although he did not provoke Mourning, Mourning obviously would not let him go!

In the next round, Mourning immediately reached out for the ball in the low post, then got stuck and hit the inside twice. Then he immediately turned around and smashed the ball into the basket with one arm!

"Hey, you softie, are the Dutch people as soft as you?" After the goal, Mourning was not polite to Schmitz and started talking trash.

"At least you have remembered that I am Dutch, right?" Schmitz waved his hand indifferently, not caring at all that he was being docked.

"Next time, drag him down!" Lin Tian walked over and patted Schmitz on the shoulder and said: "Take it hard, Rick! Remember when you beat Patrick last year? Tonight, you can beat him too. Alonzo!”

Lin Tian was still not in a hurry to launch a counterattack. He slowly advanced to the frontcourt. Facing Hardaway, Lin Tian once again used Hardaway's best 'killer change', and then rushed into the inside again!

This time, Lin Tian still chose to trust Schmitz and let him take a mid-range shot and scored 2 points again!

"This is what you said, it doesn't matter if I just score 40 points, but no one else can play?" After Lin Tian assisted again, he looked back at Hardaway and said, "What does not play? Rick scored 30 points. That’s considered a bad fight, right? Is this your standard?”

Hardaway still ignored Lin Tian, ​​but he was in a bad mood at the moment. He was hit twice with his signature moves. No one would be happy, so this time, Hardaway did not choose to pass the ball again. Instead, he used his best crotch dribbling and change of direction to force a breakthrough against Lin Tian!

But his current speed is enough to deal with others!

How to deal with Lin Tian who knows his tricks very well and even has his skills?

Not at all!

Lin Tian's lateral movement seemed to be able to predict Hardaway's footsteps and breakthrough direction. He always opened his hands to block Hardaway's body, covering Hardaway so tightly that he couldn't even see the basket!

Hardaway lowered his head all the way to the edge of the 3-second zone, but had no chance to take a shot. This guy did not force it, and did not force the shot. Instead, he quickly turned around and wanted to dribble the ball out of the 3-point line to reorganize.

But where is the Pacers' inside line? It’s not a place where Hardaway comes and leaves whenever he wants!

Lin Tian took advantage of Hardaway's movement outside, spotted the flaw in his dribbling, and then swatted the basketball away from Hardaway's back!

After Christie hugged the basketball, he immediately gave it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian had already started speeding up again, dribbling the ball and running towards the front court. No one could keep up with his speed!

Then, the familiar arc from the free throw line and the familiar gliding dunk!

"Lin, no creativity!"

"Give us some new tricks!"

"Or pass it to Vince next time and let Vince do it!"

"Vince's dunk is much better than yours!"

"Vince, take one! Give Lin a try!"

The Indiana fans actually started to tidy up and began to dislike Lin Tian for not dunking well!

Lin Tian has reaped the consequences. If he hadn't been on some radio station to teach fans to talk trash, the fans wouldn't be attacking him right now.

But after all, Lin Tian still let the fans see a fact again in this round.

There are two types of point guards in this league!

Lin Tian and other point guards!

After the failure of this offense, Hardaway became more careful and cautious. He almost no longer took the initiative, but began to do the work of transmission and organization on the court.

I have to say that this 30-year-old veteran is indeed very stable and has a very clear understanding of his own characteristics and abilities! It's completely different from those young people who get angry when they get angry!

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides tested each other. Hardaway on the Heat's side retreated to the second line and hardly took the initiative to attack. He took a total of 2 shots in the first quarter and failed to hit. He failed to score 1 point and made 2 turnovers. 1 assist!

Hardaway does not focus on the attack, so the main attack task is handed over to Mourning and Mashburn!

莫宁这一节算是打爆了施密茨，单节拿下10分4篮板1盖帽！而马什本也正好是克里斯蒂最不擅长对付的类型，被马什本单节4投3中拿下了7分！

Coupled with Leonard's deserved score on the outside and Brown's missed tip-in, the Heat scored 24 points in the first quarter!

As for the Pacers, when Lin Tian intentionally fed the ball and wanted to move Mourning out of the paint, Schmitz felt good in the first quarter. He made 6 of 4 shots and contributed the highest score on the team in the first quarter. 8 points! It's a pity that even though he was shooting like this, Mourning was still like a tiger, just staying in the 3-second zone to protect the basket and defend against the air!

This is obviously Riley's arrangement!

Riley is confident that Schmitz's mid-range can't kill anyone! What really kills the Pacers is their ability to score by attacking the basket and changing the opponent's defense!

As long as he doesn't change his defensive strategy and continues one-on-one, Schmitz will definitely not be able to kill anyone!

Since Mourning didn't come out, Lin Tian and Carter didn't rush to the inside. Lin Tian sent out 5 assists in a single quarter and scored 3 points with fast breaks, 7-pointers and mid-range shots!

Throughout the first quarter, Lin Tian did not choose to break through the basket to challenge Mourning. This was also Bird's arrangement!

Of course, Carter received the same instructions as Lin Tian, ​​but Carter's touch was not very good tonight. He only made 3 of 1 shots in the first quarter and only scored 2 points.

Fortunately, although Christie failed to guard Mashburn, he scored both shots. He also scored 5 points. Coupled with a tip-in from Davis, the Pacers also scored 24 points in the first quarter!

The two sides were temporarily tied during the first quarter of the game!

"In the first quarter of the game, both sides showed their own characteristics, and at the same time exposed some shortcomings in their respective lineups."

"Two of the Pacers' shooters were injured, which made their outside rotation from being extremely rich to a bit stretched. The three starting outsiders only rested for 1 minute each in the first quarter. They didn't dare to let them rest at the same time. They were in batches. Go down and rest.”

During the break, Su Qun once again expressed his analysis of the game: "The Pacers' bench is really lacking scorers. Let's see if Buckner and Hoiberg can Can’t you provide some help to the team?”

"Of course, the situation on the Heat's side is actually somewhat similar to that of the Pacers. Their regular rotation is very short. Starting from the second half of the regular season, Riley basically only uses 8 people to play, except for these five starters. In addition, Marly is no longer in his prime, and all six of these players have played more than 5 minutes!"

“In addition, there are veterans Terry Porter and Westpenser who just joined the team this year. Both of them played more than 20 minutes. Except for these 8 people, no one from the Heat played an average of 5 minutes per game. For more than 2 minutes, no one averaged more than points per game!"

"Both these two teams rely on their starting lineup to conquer the world!"

After listening to what Su Qun said, Sun Zhengping added with a smile: "It's just that one of the players is really not strong enough, and the other is troubled by injuries and has to do this!"

When the two were discussing, the second quarter of the game had also begun. Bird boldly asked Lin Tian to sit off the court and rest, and asked Carter and Christie to take Buckner, Big Ben, and Davis on the court for the second quarter. The game early in the second quarter.

The Heat have Mourning leading the team, with Westpenser, Marley, Mashburn and Porter playing together.

The rotation lineups of both sides played dull and boring on the court. After all, the core players on both sides were not there. The remaining players either did not have enough offensive power or had enough offensive power. However, when faced with Mourning guarding the inside, it was difficult to overcome.

After playing for a full 4 minutes in the second quarter, the two sides tied at 4:4! The scoring efficiency on both sides is really low.

Then Riley and Bird changed formations at the same time!

Bird brought on Lin Tian and Schmitz, replacing Buckner and Davis!

Riley replaced Marley and let Hardaway continue to play!

After Lin Tian and Hardaway came back, the game scene immediately became better!

On Lin Tian's side, although the Westbrook experience card that lasted for a month has expired, Lin Tian clearly felt that the experience card left something on him, perhaps because the monthly card is longer than the single-game card. For a longer reason, Lin Tian felt that this time, the experience card left more things in him!

For example, every time Lin Tian breaks through and scores the ball, he will have the desire to take off directly and dunk on Mourning!

After playing this time, this feeling is even more intense!

Therefore, Lin Tian did not curb his desire, but called Schmitz's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, trying to attract Mourning out.

But after the two of them set a screen, Mourning still stood on the inside, not preparing to defend Lin Tian's 3-pointer.

"Crazy!" Lin Tian looked at Mourning, their eyes met, and they looked at each other for a second. Hardaway couldn't break free from Schmitz's cover!

In the end, Lin Tian was too embarrassed to aim again, and Schmitz was trying to protect him with his life!

So Lin Tian simply pulled it out, raised the knife with his hand, and hit the 3-pointer!

"Alonzo, you bought a house, right? You invested in real estate in Indiana, and then you bought the area in the 3-second area? You are afraid that others will visit your house, right? You really don't leave your house!"

"Stop talking nonsense Lin, if you have the guts, just give it a try today and see who will fall to the ground tonight!" Mourning showed off his muscles at Lin Tian with his teeth and claws, and then quickly came to the frontcourt. In the low post, he once again wanted to hit Schmitz in a single position!

This time, Schmitz gritted his teeth, opened his hands, and blocked Mourning's attack, allowing him to turn around and hit the hook directly. Lin Tian rushed into the paint, hugged the basketball, and just looked at it. After taking one look at the situation on the court, I immediately decided to push forward at full speed!

This is the first time Lin Tian has launched a counterattack after grabbing a rebound tonight. Before, he usually chose to stabilize the situation and take his time!

But this sudden attack really caught the Heat off guard. Only Westponser returned to the basket in time and opened his hands to defend Lin Tian!

Facing a front line, Lin Tian certainly wouldn't hesitate. He adjusted his steps early, then suddenly stood up from the ground, opened his whole body completely, and smashed towards Westpenser!

"Oh!"

After a muffled sound, the two people collided heavily in the air!

Without Westbrook, Lin Tian's impact and strength have somewhat declined. For example, this time he was unable to completely knock Westbrook away, and could only hit the ball through his head. Pressed into the basket!

Now Lin Tian can't beat anyone if he wants to. He can only just hang out with a few dunks over his head and make a living by hitting a few top ten balls.

After the goal was scored, the entire City Square Arena erupted into bursts of crazy shouts as usual!

Stimulate! This is the stuff fans want!

Lin Tian was also very cooperative. After scoring the goal, he opened his arms and skated happily on the court.

"What's so exciting about dunking on a striker?" Mourning saw Lin Tian's proud look and said to Lin Tianxia: "Dunk me if you can! Come on! Dunk on my head!"

"Are you serious?" Lin Tian looked at Mo Ning and said as if he had never heard such a request in his life: "Don't cry later!"

"Come anyway, what I like most in my life is to be dunked! As long as you have the ability, just come!"

Mourning was talking trash, trying to lure Lin Tian inside, while demanding the ball forcefully in the low post. He just didn't score, but this time he was anxious to get back on the field!

The ball from the outside came to Mourning's hands again. The guy turned around quickly, then elbowed Schmitz away, and then pulled up a brutal two-handed dunk!

"boom!"

After a loud noise, Mourning looked back at Lin Tiandao: "It has to be at least this kind of dunk, and it has to be at least 220 centimeters tall, to be worthy of showing off!"

"I'm 219 centimeters." Schmitz, who had been docked one, muttered quietly, just enough for Mourning to hear it. It's not sure whether it can make Mourning feel aggrieved, but this is already one of the few times Schmitz has done. Trash talk.

"Are you really 219?" Lin Tian took the baseline ball and asked Schmitz in an unhurried manner.

"It's fake." Schmitz said: "I should be 226 centimeters tall now, but he is a short guy anyway and can't see how tall I am, so I'm lying to him!"

"Good guy!" Lin Tian gave a thumbs up. There are not many people in this league who dare to say that Mourning is a dwarf, but Schmitz, a guy who is over 220 centimeters tall, is indeed qualified to say this. . After arriving in the frontcourt, Lin Tian quickly stretched out his hand, gestured on his head, and then shouted: "Pull away! Everyone, pull away!"

While he was shouting tactics, Schmitz had already seen his gesture asking for a pick-and-roll, and quickly rushed out from the inside!

"Come on Lin! Come on if you feel like it!" Mourning still didn't plan to come out, and he was baring his teeth in the paint! It seems that he decided to be a turtle all night tonight and just won't come out of his shell!

"As you wish!" After Lin Tian picked and rolled, he stepped into the three-point line in one step!

Then his terrifying speed and impact exploded, and he rushed towards Mourning!

Mourning was holding his breath and gearing up, calculating the angle and timing of Lin Tian's attack. He was ready for everything, just waiting for Lin Tian to rush over and give him a heavy blow!

But then, the corners of Mourning's eyes suddenly jumped, and he felt something was wrong!

At the same time, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand had disappeared. Lin Tian, ​​who was sprinting with all his strength just now, suddenly stopped outside the 3-second zone!

When Mourning quickly wanted to turn around to defend, it was already too late. He only had time to turn his head, and then he saw a pair of legs flying towards his head!

At this time, let alone Mourning, even if Carter's knee was placed on Mourning, he would not have time to jump to defend and block the shot! He didn't even have time to escape!

Lin Tian's timing to pass the ball is really great!

At this time, apart from Lin Tian, ​​there is only one person in the Pacers team who dares to rush over and confront Mourning head-on!

Vince Carter!

Carter in the air was the first to contact Mourning with his lower body. After relying on the time difference and bullet speed to almost ride on Mourning's neck, Carter stretched his upper body forward desperately, and then directly ignored the ball with one arm. It hit the basket!

"boom!"

Carter completed the top copy and achievement of all NBA perimeter players in the 90s: dunking on Mourning!

After scoring the goal, Carter was so excited that he beat his chest and roared!

This is Mourning!

This is Mourning, the best defensive player with 3.9 blocks this season!

Even if Carter dunks countless people, it's definitely a different feeling to dunk one Mourning!

He once again confirmed his intention to always play beside Lin Tian! It feels so good! If Carter is allowed to hold the ball and attack by himself, let alone his rookie year, even at his peak, Carter doesn't think he can easily dunk Mourning like this!

After all, he actually did almost nothing just now. After hearing Lin Tian's message, he chose a time and route and rushed towards the inside!

Well, everyone on the Pacers knows that when Lin Tian yells, "Pull apart," he is telling his teammates that it's time for you to cut!

If Lin Tian really wanted to play an island tactic, he would tell his teammates: "Don't worry, be steady, we will have a success rate!"

In short, it is insidious!

"You sneaky bastard!" Mourning, who was suddenly attacked by Carter, did not stare at Carter, but looked at Lin Tian, ​​the instigator of the incident: "You still don't have the guts to face me, Lin? Huh? You coward? ?”

Mourning said as he took the ball and retreated to the baseline, then quickly sent the ball to Hardaway at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Lin Tian didn't pay any attention to Mourning's trash talk. The people in this league who can use trash talk to make Lin Tian's mentality unbalanced haven't even been born yet!

When Mourning exited the baseline, Lin Tian quickly rushed towards Hardaway on the left! Then the moment Hardaway took the ball, Lin Tian suddenly stole the ball!

"Snapped!"

Caught off guard, Hardaway only patted the ball once, and the basketball was completely broken by Lin Tian!

Then after Lin Tian got the ball, he didn't force a breakthrough from the sideline. Instead, he dribbled the ball from behind with a silky smooth movement and moved the basketball from the sideline to his inside!

Just this imaginative behind-the-back dribble not only caught Hardaway, who was trying to counterattack, behind him, but it also had an indescribable coolness!

After dribbling the ball from behind, Lin Tian quickly moved forward, caught up with the basketball, and then rushed towards Mourning again!

At this moment, Mourning had just returned to the basket. He didn't even see what was happening. He saw Lin Tian dribbling the ball outside the 3-second zone!

"Well done!" Mourning will never be cowardly in this life! Seeing Lin Tian coming, even though he was not too ready, he still took a step forward and stood between Lin Tian and the basket. Then he calculated the time and jumped with all his strength to block the shot!

Lin Tian rushed over sideways this time, and his left shoulder that was not holding the ball took the lead in colliding with Mourning!

"Oh!"

After a muffled sound, Lin Tian and Mourning were stuck together, giving people the feeling that they were paused in the air!

Mourning raised his hands high and collided with Lin Tian head-on.

Lin Tian took the ball with one hand and completely stretched his body, his side shoulder and Mourning's chest met!

Although this pause may only be a tenth or even a hundredth of a second, this pause still made all the fans gasp!

And at that moment, countless reporters frantically pressed the shutter of their cameras! This scene will definitely become another world-famous painting!

The core strength of these two guys is so strong and perverted!

After that moment of pause, Lin Tian suddenly took another breath, and then used the power that he didn't know where to burst out. He used his right hand holding the ball together with his waist, and his whole figure was like a spring full of strength. As if he suddenly let go, he smashed the ball towards the basket behind Mourning!

"boom!"

After a loud noise, Lin Tian hung on the basket with one hand and kept shaking!

And Mourning was not ejected. Even after he landed, his feet were surprisingly stable. He just took two steps back and found his center of gravity!

Although Mourning's center of gravity is very stable, his expression is completely unstable!

His eyes widened. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He felt like he was in a trance.

I am Alonzo Mourning!

The league's best defensive, shot-blocking and front-facing patron saint of the basket was dunked twice in a row within 5 seconds? Are each one more beautiful than the other?

Mourning looked up in disbelief at the big screen above his head, where the wonderful scene of him being dunked by Carter and Lin Tian was being replayed.

Absolute head-on confrontation, no tricks!

It just depends on jumping high, having enough strength, and being in good health!

Lin Tian is an upright person, and he was slapped on the front!

Mourning couldn't help but swallowed. Before he could say something harsh to find a place, he heard the conversation between Lin Tian and Carter!

"I didn't want to dunk him at first, but he insisted on inviting me, saying that he likes to be dunked the most. You know Vince, I am a soft-eared person and can never listen to others begging me, so I can only fulfill his wish. Dream, give him a penalty!"

"I'm the same. I originally wanted to go for a layup, but he insisted on saying, boy, come on! I don't know where he asked me to come or why I came, so I just thought about it, come on. , can he still sell me?" Carter suppressed his laughter and continued to Lin Tian: "I didn't expect that he was going to give me the top ten goals of the season!"

"FUXX!" Mourning looked at these two guys singing and singing. Does he really think I have a good temper?

Then, Mourning squeezed roughly between the two people, and then said to them: "You'd better pay attention when you jump in front of me again! Be careful not to step on anything when you land!"

"Are you threatening me?" After hearing Mourning's words, Lin Tian suddenly became interested!

at last!

After waiting for two years, someone finally challenged me again! It’s so rare!

Two years! Does anyone know how Lin Tian came here in the past two years?

The entire NBA! 29 teams, more than 430 players with official contracts!

No one! No one has ever provoked Lin Tian!

Just a bunch of cowards! I, Senior Official Lin, are so deserving of a beating, but they can endure it!

But fortunately, Mourning seems to finally be able to bear it today?

"I'm just threatening you, what the hell!"

Lin Tian stretched his muscles and waited for Mourning to take action!

He has been in a really bad mood these days. Although he won the MVP, Miller and Mullin's season reimbursement still made Lin Tian very depressed and had nowhere to vent.

Now that Mourning is coming to your door, let’s give him a small beating, a small one!

It's the kind of level where you get suspended for 1-2 games!

"Not really." Mourning glanced at Lin Tian and snorted coldly: "I hate the bastards with black feet on the court the most! Those kind of people don't deserve to be on the court! If any of you dare to attack one of our people, Even if you are on your team, I will seek justice from you just like I beat up those New York cockroaches!"

"Let me take care of myself!"

After Mourning finished speaking, he walked towards the frontcourt, um... or ran!

He suddenly remembered the fear of the Knicks, Jazz, SuperSonics and other teams being dominated by Lin Tian.

He has a hot temper and is very tough!

But he doesn't have the hobby of finding someone to beat or torture him.

Basketball is just a job!

Life is definitely bigger than basketball!

The two dunks by Lin Tian and Carter also fully illustrate one thing.

There is really a huge gap between 2 points and 2 points!

For example, after these two fierce and brutal dunks, the Pacers' morale completely improved!

First, Schmitz firmly guarded the inside line and gave Mourning, who wanted to regain face, a head-on blood cap! Then Lin Tian found Christie during the fast break and assisted him to hit a 3-pointer from outside the 3-point line!

Looking back, Lin Tian launched a full-court press against Hardaway, forcing the former defender to scramble. Then he made a mistake while reluctantly passing the ball and was directly intercepted by Christie. The Pacers once again Fight back!

This time, Christie dribbled the ball in the middle. He first passed the ball to Lin Tian on the left, and Lin Tian gave the ball to Carter on the right.

After Carter took the ball, he threw it directly towards the basket. Lin Tian immediately jumped up high and pushed the basketball directly into the basket with one hand in mid-air!

This third-line fast break with mediocre and textbook skills left the Heat with no ability to fight back!

In the blink of an eye, the Pacers hit a 9:0 offensive climax!

If you count from Lin Tian's appearance, it was a 14:2 offensive wave!

And the time on the court has only passed less than 3 minutes!

The score difference between the two sides is widening rapidly!

Off the court, Riley quickly called a timeout. He had to plan the next attack. Based on his research on the Pacers, if they were to have two more quick counterattacks, their offensive state would be completely improved! At that time, it would be even more difficult to kill the walkers!

"Steady the tempo! Tim, slow down the tempo, use more pick-and-rolls and screens. Don't confront Lin head-on. There's no need! Use screens to break through. If you can find an open teammate, pass the ball. If not, you can organize it again. , like giving the ball to Jamal!”

"Remember, what we want is to steal a victory in the away game! Alonzo, don't worry, that stupid Dutch guy is in high spirits right now. You can take a rest and don't rush to attack!"

"Jamal, if our tactics don't work out next, then you have to attack a few as the main attacker! You can use the screen to hit Lin... Forget it, hit that Vince Carter! Kill their two outsiders besides Lin , keep doing it for me!"

After quickly arranging tactics, players from both sides once again took to the court.

After Hardaway returned to the court and got the basketball, he no longer continued to push forward by himself, but quickly distributed the ball to Leonard, and then he came to the frontcourt before catching the ball again, and after receiving the ball, he Immediately asked for a cover from Mourning.

Needless to say, with Mourning's size and current whistleblowing standards, it is really unrealistic to bypass him and chase the top-speed Hardaway.

Lin Tian could only watch Hardaway rush inside, and then after attracting the defense, he quickly found Leonard on the weak side and assisted him to hit a 3-pointer!

Riley's arrangement quickly showed results, and the Heat quickly recovered. After Hardaway's breakthrough pass, Mashburn once again showed his "monster" nature, connecting under the basket and in the mid-range. He hit Christie 3 times, 2 of which were successful, and 1 caused Christie to foul and go to the free throw line.

Although the Heat have regained their offensive feeling, they are completely unable to stop the Pacers on the defensive end.

The person who broke out this time was not Lin Tian, ​​Carter or Christie, but Schmitz, the most low-key center in the Pacers!

This guy's mid-range touch was extremely good tonight. Although the Heat hit consecutive shots, Schmitz's mid-range shots were also flawless.

After Lin Tian discovered that his old friend had a great touch tonight, he did not hesitate at all. He fed him balls one after another, which made Schmitz hiccup!

In the rest of the second quarter, the two sides fought back and forth around this 10-point gap, and in tonight's game, both sides played a bit unconventional.

In the second quarter, when both Mourning and Hardaway were in poor condition and were restricted by the Pacers, the Heat mainly attacked Mashburn. Leonard's weak side responded and shot. Under the leadership of these two secondary attackers, , the Heat finally did not let the Pacers widen the point difference!

As for the Pacers, after Lin Tian just debuted and scored 8 points in a row, he immediately began to focus on playing for his teammates, especially Schmitz. He and Schmitz The Heat were overwhelmed by the two-man battle!

After the pick-and-roll, Schmitz stretched to the outside to catch the ball and shoot. After Schmitz got the ball in the high post, the two passed the ball hand-in-hand to create space around the screen and then shot. Lin Tian forced a breakthrough to attract the defense and then distributed the ball. Schmitz shot from mid-range...

These two people used this new style of play that was rarely seen in previous games, making most of Riley's previous defensive tactics useless!

Riley thought that Lin Tian would score a high score to defeat Hardaway, and also thought that Carter and Christie might break out, but he never expected that it would be Schmitz who broke out tonight!

Looking at Miller and Mullin sitting on the court with Barkley, Dumars, Thomas and others watching the game, Riley also had to admit that the Pacers' team is indeed strong and thick! Even though a second core member and a main rotation member were injured, they were still able to outperform the Heat!

45: 55!

At the end of the first half, the Pacers held on to a 10-point lead!

In the first half of the game, Mourning scored 10 points in the first quarter, but only scored 4 points in the second quarter. Hardaway, the team's second leader, still did not break the ball, still making 4 of 0 shots, and there were also 4 turnovers! Fortunately, Mashburn and Leonard teamed up to score 17 points in the second quarter, supporting the team's offense!

On the Pacers side, Schmitz is killing everyone tonight. He has already scored 20 points and 5 rebounds. If he keeps shooting like this, tonight this guy might be able to break the highest score in a single game of his career. Such records, in addition, Carter and Christie also performed well and both performed well.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he already scored 18 points and 10 assists in half the game! The Heat did not take the initiative to double-team Lin Tian. They wanted Lin Tian to attack alone without involving his teammates, but tonight Lin Tian just wanted to pass the ball! Just to support my teammates!

And while supporting his teammates, Lin Tian's own offense has not fallen behind at all!

Riley's defense against Lin Tian can be said to be a complete failure!

Not caring about either end, Lin Tian performed wonderfully at both ends!
