NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 263 Use the last bullet! The Hoosiers leave the field with their heads held high!

Bird took a look at the technical statistics, and they were really eye-catching.

林天上半场比赛打满了24分钟，23投8中，其中3分球4投1中，罚球10罚8中，拿下了25分8篮板4助攻2抢断。

Lin Tian's shooting percentage is theoretically low enough. In other games, this is a shooting rate that can only be achieved by the prodigal shooting king XJB.

But except for Lin Tian, ​​the hit rate of others is even more eye-catching!

除了林天之外，步行者其余所有人加起来25投5中，3分球8投1中，罚球6罚3中，拿到了14分。

Compared with them, Lin Tian was actually very efficient and played very well.

Of course, the Heat's data is equally eye-catching.

Except for Mourning, who made 14 of 6 shots and hit almost 50%, the rest of the Heat also had a shooting percentage hovering below 30%.

In this game, the players on both sides are really tough! They put too much energy into defense and confrontation.

As usual, Mashburn and Hardaway couldn't stop Lin Tian's breakthrough. The two people's minds were already in a state of confusion. They couldn't believe that Lin Tian was still so fast at this time. !

There was nothing he could do but leave everything to Lin Tian!

After Mashburn made a free throw, Bird called a timeout again.

But in the second half, when the veteran's physical strength began to decline rapidly, he began to be unable to withstand Mourning. Mourning was always able to stay in position and get rebounds.

In the third quarter alone, Mourning grabbed 10 rebounds, 5 of which were offensive rebounds!

Relying on Mourning's 10 rebounds in a single quarter, the Heat finally started to exert their strength and scored 18 points in this quarter, while the Pacers still only scored 13 points in this quarter!

A set of actions was completed in one go. Davis behind him could not even lift his arms at this moment. Watching Mourning score on his head, he was powerless!

70: 64!

"Shh!"

The Heat's leading score reached 7 points!

This is also their largest lead in this game!

Already short of personnel, two more people were sent off, and the two most important defensive points inside and outside were taken down. In the next two minutes, the Pacers will obviously fall into absolute passivity!

In the first half of the game, Perkins was able to rely on his experience, weight and skills to fight back and forth with Mourning.

Lin Tian took the sideline ball and looked at Hardaway and Mashburn, who were also almost exhausted in front of him. Then he looked down and found that he was 3 meters away from the three-point line.

Finally, it wasn't until Lin Tian turned around again that he served the ball.

Hand-to-hand combat, continue!

After saying this, Mourning quickly walked towards the Pacers' three-second zone, then turned his back, blocked the position, asked for the ball, turned around, and hooked.

And with 2 minutes left before the end of the game, Christie also got his sixth foul! He failed to control his movements when defending Mashburn's back hit, and Mashburn caught the opportunity and successfully beat Christie down!

Not too far!

Then Lin Tian directly collected the ball, took off, and shot a super long 3-pointer!

"Shh!"

After Lin Tian's words, Bird couldn't give up no matter what, he came to everyone's side and said: "Just do what Lin said! Just fight like this!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tianzhong hit his second 2-pointer tonight!

It’s also the team’s third 3-pointer tonight!

After the goal was scored, the entire stadium once again burst into crazy cheers and energy! Lin Tian once again pulled the team back from the brink of collapse, and once again gave the fans a burst of hope!

Tonight, we haven’t lost yet!

What's worse is that without the support of rebounds, they can't hit the quick counterattack they want. Lin Tian can only face the opponent's multi-person defense in positional battles again and again, and he doesn't know what to do. Several people rushed to the basket and then finished!

In this quarter of the game, Lin Tian played extremely fiercely. He struck again and again, threw himself in the air again and again, and then fell to the ground again and again.

This time Lin Tian fell out of the bottom line again and fell into the group of photographers. This time, Lin Tian lay on the floor, unwilling to move for a long time!

For the first time, he discovered that lying on the floor was so comfortable and happy! Lin Tianzhen really wanted to lie on the floor all night!

If the Heat's counterattack in the third quarter was not too bad, then six minutes into the fourth quarter, Mourning hit hard under the basket, causing Perkins' sixth A foul that sent the 6-year-old veteran directly out of the court with a ball completely defeated the Pacers inside!

Pope, who came on as a substitute, was completely unable to stop Mourning. Although he was full of energy, he was eaten by Mourning three times in a row in the next two minutes!

Relying on Mourning's consecutive wins, the score difference that the Pacers had just caught up with in the first half of the fourth quarter was gradually widened again!

Bird really couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear to see his disciple fighting so hard!

"Give me the ball!" After Lin Tian drank three large bottles of energy drinks, he shook off the towel on his head and said: "Give me all the balls in the next two minutes! I will take you with a victory. Miami!"

Facing Mourning this time, Lin Tian once again showed his toughness! He did not choose to throw, but once again threw himself in the air and collided with Mourning. Then after hearing the referee's call for blocking, he made a free throw and threw the ball before losing his balance.

In the first round of the second half, Mourning held off Perkins and Davis alone in the paint. He swung his big elbow left and right to push away his opponent, and then pulled it up fiercely and made a two-handed slam to help. The team overtakes the score!

Looking back, Lin Tian faced the double team of Hardaway and Mashburn, and once again chose to force the attack to the basket. Facing the three-man encirclement of the Heat under the basket, Lin Tian forcefully took off and shot, but the result was that he was Mourning hit his stomach with a big elbow. He lost his center of gravity in an instant and fell out of the field!

Although the basketball failed to hit, fortunately the referee blew the whistle and gave Mourning a blocking foul!

In the first round of offense and defense at the beginning of the second half of the game, both sides got angry and fought extremely fiercely!

This fierce battle has been fought to the point where both sides are red-blooded. The anger in their stomachs has not been relieved by the 20-minute break at halftime. On the contrary, in the second half, after the players took a break, they were With more physical strength to fight, confront, and fight!

The game continues!

The last 1 minute and 40 seconds!

After Mourning scored, Lin Tian waved wildly and wanted the team to hit a quick baseline pass. Unfortunately, Pope, who was holding the ball at the bottom line, could not understand what Lin Tian meant and did not dare to pass the ball rashly. He kept hesitating while holding the ball on the baseline, fearing that he would make a mistake.

"Go to Miami with victory and match points!"

As the game progressed, the Heat gradually gained the upper hand!

And the most important reason is Mourning!

In the second half of the game, players from both sides changed venues and continued fighting!

In short, no matter who wins in the end, this game will definitely be extremely brutal!

Mo Ning walked past Lin Tian with a sullen face and said, "You're doing great Lin, but I will destroy you! There's nothing you can do!"

After the two sides each scored 2 points at the beginning, the game once again entered the rhythm of fighting each other, crazy defense, and constant confrontation. The scoring efficiency of both sides did not improve at all. Every score was extremely difficult, and every goal had to be scored. Holding the opponent's big elbows and hands that are eagerly ready to foul at any time!

For the first time, Bird had the idea that he was a rubbish head coach. He found that he could do nothing but agree with what Lin Tian said.

During the timeout, Bird looked at Lin Tian, ​​who was almost paralyzed on the bench. He had not rested for a second tonight and was constantly wiping sweat. Si, and of course Hoiberg, who did not walk to the bench but sat directly on the floor, as if this would save him two steps and save some energy.

Looking at them, Bird almost opened his mouth and said, forget it tonight and forget about this series.

This game is definitely the most fierce and intense game that Lin Tian has ever participated in in his career!

Lin Tian definitely gave everything he had tonight and used everything he had to fight!

But even so, the Pacers' shortage of manpower still made them slowly fall into passivity!

After coming to the frontcourt again, Lin Tian chose to forcefully attack the basket this time!

The Heat's players must try their best to block and snipe Lin Tian to prevent him from scoring easily. Because the Pacers' players can't hit the ball, they can only focus all their energy on defense, confrontation and intensity. , let the Heat's shooting percentage be as bad as theirs!

Another 2+1!

As the first-team center and best defensive player this season, although Mourning's touch was average tonight, as Perkins' physical strength declined and Davis was unable to support himself, Mourning gradually took control of the basket! He began to collect more and more rebounds, and Perkins slowly began to be unable to compete with Mourning!

When Mashburn went to the free throw line and made two free throws, the score between the two sides had become 2:68!

Seeing that Lin Tian hadn't gotten up for a long time, Bird couldn't sit still at all. He stood up from his seat and wanted to run to Lin Tian immediately. The four people on the Pacers court also walked to the court immediately. Come and check on Lin Tian.

"fine."

Looking at his worried teammates, Lin Tian stretched out his hand, and Hoiberg and Davis pulled him up.

Lin Tian shook his shoulders and said: "The game is not over yet!"

After standing on the free throw line, Lin Tian accurately hit the free throw, and the point difference between the two sides was reduced to 3 points!

The last 1 minute and 20 seconds!

The entire stadium was completely crazy now. The fans kept shouting Lin Tian's name, cheering him and the team.

But the shouts of the fans obviously couldn't stop Miami's iron heel.

Mashburn once again sat in the low post, then easily crushed Hoiberg and scored 2 points again!

The score difference came to 5 points again!

Then when Lin Tian dribbled to the top of the key again, there were three people defending him!

Not only did Mashburn let go of Hoiberg, but Leonard also let go of Bohannon, who replaced Christie. The three of them started chasing Lin Tian on the line!

Faced with this kind of defense, even Lin Tian can only choose to pass the ball!

After Hoiberg caught the ball, there was no defensive player for a full 3 meters in front of him. After taking a look, he took another 3-pointer!

"Boom!"

But it is a pity that the sound of hammering hit the heart of every Pacers fan like a giant hammer!

After missing the shot, Davis did not fight for the offensive rebound, and the entire team quickly returned to defense. By this time, the Heat were completely in no hurry.

They wasted time, and it wasn't until there were only the last 5 seconds left in the attack time that the basketball came to Mourning's hands, and he turned around and hit another hook!

The score difference is back to 7 points again!

But there are only the last 28 seconds left in the game!

But fortunately, it was Davis who sent the baseline ball this time. He knew what Lin Tian wanted now. As soon as he came to the baseline, he found Lin Tian and passed the ball quickly!

Lin Tian didn't hesitate after taking the ball. After dribbling the ball all the way to the front court, he didn't hesitate at a 45-degree angle on the right side and forced a 3-pointer against Hardaway in front of him!

Lin Tian used up almost all his remaining energy for this shot, so when he shot, his body leaned forward obviously, but Hardaway failed to react to Lin Tian's sudden forward shot, and his hand hung on Lin Tian's body. On God’s arms!

"Shh!"

"Beep! The thug fouled! Three points are valid, plus one free throw!"

The referee's penalty is extremely critical. Even if Riley immediately stood up from the bench and went to the referee to argue with a look of disbelief, in this era of no challenges, the referee's penalty cannot be changed!

The Pacers are back from the dead again!

Lin Tian didn't go to celebrate, nor did he watch the referee and Riley's bickering.

He just lowered his head and moved to the free throw line step by step, preparing to shoot the free throw.

He can't do any other unnecessary things now, he doesn't have the energy!

There are only 22 seconds left in the game!

Lin Tian, ​​who didn't care about anything, stood on the free throw line, thinking.

Then, when the referee asked Riley to sit down and gave the ball to Lin Tian to take a free throw, Lin Tian was sure of one thing.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Tian looked at the front edge of the basket, and then deliberately lowered the arc and increased the strength when taking the free throw.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound, Lin Tian missed the free throw!

And the free throw was very outrageous. The free throw was obviously short. After hitting the front edge of the backboard, it almost returned to the original path!

The four people grabbing rebounds under the basket huddled together in an instant, but none of them touched the basketball!

Lin Tian, ​​who had already predicted the landing point of the basketball, suddenly rushed into the paint, jumped up with great precision, dragged the basketball in the air, and then threw the basketball towards the basket!

"Shh!"

74: 72!

Two seconds ago, Pacers fans who were in despair because of Lin Tian's missed free throw, thinking that the team was completely finished, felt what it meant to go from hell to heaven!

Lin Tian grabbed the rebound and made a tip-in. In this round, Lin Tian hit a 3+2!

Recover 5 points in one round!

The suspense of the game came back in the blink of an eye!

And what was Lin Tian just thinking about?

1 point is not enough! He needs 2 points!

After all, even if the free throws were made and the Heat's offense was blocked, the Pacers were still 3 points behind!

Even if Lin Tian hits another 3-pointer, they will just enter overtime. But with the Pacers' current state and physical fitness, playing another overtime is basically the same as losing!

Therefore, Lin Tian wants 2 points!

He wants a chance to directly kill the game!

Riley on the sidelines no longer had a timeout. He shouted loudly: "Steady! Press the time! Press it to the end! It's okay! Press it to the end and be steady! You don't have to attack and wait for them to foul! They don't have a timeout either!" There’s not enough time!”

"Don't make a mistake! Don't make a mistake! Hold on!"

"If they foul, just make the free throw! Tim, hold on! Don't make any mistakes!"

There's only so much Riley can do.

In the last 20 seconds, the Heat dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, but it was obviously not that easy for them to stall for time.

Lin Tian took the lead in stepping up the intensity and launched an extremely tight defense against Hardaway from the midfield, forcing Hardaway to the point where he could hardly dribble.

Seeing that Lin Tian was about to force him back to the court, Hardaway could only jump up and pass the ball in the direction of Mashburn! But Bohannon, who had been pressed like cotton by Mashburn, suddenly took two steps upward at this moment, got ahead of Mashburn, and swatted the ball away!

But unfortunately, Bohannon failed to control his center of gravity, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to completely break the ball!

As Mashburn was also brought down by Bohannon, the two people closest to basketball became Pope and Mourning!

Pope finally took advantage of his speed at this time. He reacted faster than Mourning, was faster and more desperate at the same time! He directly used a diving action in football, stabbed the basketball before Mourning, and passed the basketball towards Lin Tian at the top of the arc!

"Bang!" Then, he also fell to the floor!

Of course, Lin Tian would not let down his two teammates who were not afraid of getting hurt and fell heavily to the ground. He hugged the basketball, then turned around and pushed it towards the frontcourt!

There are still 5 seconds left!

The fans in the entire City Square Arena stood up spontaneously, their eyes widened, waiting for the next historic moment!

Get outside the 3-point line, collect the ball, feint, take half a step to the side and forward to get out of the way, then turn sideways, forcefully pull up and take a shot!

"beep!"

The first sound was the whistle that ended the game. Regardless of whether this goal is scored or not, it is the last goal tonight!

A one-shot deal, win or lose, there is no room for change!

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final judgment of the God of Basketball!

"Shh!"

The sound was so refreshing that it was enough to keep the entire Indiana party going for an entire night!

Lin Tianzhao hit the final kill!

The whole stadium was in a state of excitement instantly!

Lin Tian, ​​who was lying on the floor, beat his chest crazily with both hands, and then roared with great release!

Finally got it!

The Pacers won Tianwang Mountain!

这个晚上，林天再一次打满了48分钟！虽然他47投只有17中，虽然他3分球13投只有4中！连罚球都在下半场有些失准，全场只有22罚16中！

But he scored three consecutive 3-pointers at the last moment of the game. He scored consecutively at the last moment of the game, taking over the team's last 3 consecutive points and leading the team to climb out of the abyss!

This night, Lin Tian scored 54 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists. When the team only scored 75 points, he alone scored more than 70% of the team's points!

Except for Lin Tian, ​​no one from the Pacers scored in double figures, and no one even scored more than 8 points! Although Lin Tian hit the iron 30 times in a single game, the efficiency of his teammates was even worse.

Everyone except Lin Tian has a hit rate of only 27%! In contrast, Lin Tian consumed so much ball power by himself, and despite such exaggerated defensive intensity, his shooting percentage was almost 10 percentage points higher than that of his teammates!

Lin Tian really did it tonight, carrying the entire team by himself!

He found the only way out for the Pacers in a desperate situation and took it. He once again created a miracle!

After Lin Tian hit the winning 3-pointer, he lay on the ground for a long time and refused to get up! Lin Tian really has no strength left!

And his teammates obviously didn't have much strength to help Lin Tian up. They directly pressed on Lin Tian's body, and a stack of Arhats came! Everyone was stacked on top of each other, lying on the ground, celebrating and resting at the same time!

The Pacers are really tired tonight!

During the crazy celebration, no one on the Pacers noticed when the Heat left the game. They had no mood or energy to care about what happened to the Heat. The fans at the scene were unwilling to leave for a long time. The process of this game was really... It is too thrilling and too crazy!

Everything is as wonderful as a dream!

"A perfect night, I really don't know how to describe Lin's performance tonight." Barkley's eyes were even a little red, and his voice sounded as if he was about to cry: "Lin is really, it's so unimaginable. , I am proud to be his friend, and I am proud to have fought alongside him!"

Kenny next to him for the first time did not laugh at Barkley's excitement and tears, but nodded in agreement: "This is the most wonderful personal performance I have ever seen in my life! Lin has fulfilled all the fantasies of ordinary people about heroes! He They are superheroes in the real world!”

"He is Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, X-Men, and the embodiment of all heroes!"

Su Qun of China Sports was also choked up and said: "It is really great that our country can produce such a basketball player! A perfect player! A super player who can do everything and complete everything. Players!”

Sun Zhengping followed: "I am not a superstitious person. I have never believed in the existence of gods, Buddhas, Gods, etc., but I have to say: If I were really asked to choose one person to be the representative of those gods and Buddhas all over the sky, As for the spokesperson, it would be Lin Tian! What he did tonight is a miracle!"

This evening, the Pacers players once again missed the press conference. This time, they were really too tired!

This night, no one questioned or protested the Pacers' absence from the press conference.

Journalists are still human beings after all. They are exhausted on the court and don’t come to the press conference, so that’s not a problem!

This night, the praise for the Pacers was overwhelming. Everything seemed to be a replica of the second game of the series!

"14 points in a row + the ultimate kill!" Lin Tian carries the entire team on his own! 》

"What about 30 irons in a single game?" Support the team all the same! 》

"Played the full 48 minutes again!" Iron man Lin Tian seems to have a nuclear engine in his body! 》

"50+ points in a single game and then a buzzer beater, 3+2 at the critical moment. Lin Tian has more than just physical fitness! 》

"The most powerful solo performance in history!" Lin Tian played another masterpiece of his playoff career! 》

"Eight Jedi Knights Take Tianwang Mountain!" Willpower above all else! 》

"The Ultimate Fight of Willpower!" The Pacers win again! 》

"Hardaway has 5 goals in 4 games, the former 'Beatle' was completely eaten alive!" 》

"Get the match point!" How will the Pacers decide the next game? 》

"As a player, he is a top star, and as a coach, he is equally top-notch!" How did Bird build such a super team? 》

The fans' pursuit, the media's praise, the peers' admiration...

The Pacers were once again praised to the top by the media and fans. This game is too important for the Pacers and the league!

It brought many fans who had developed a dislike for the NBA due to the summer labor disputes back to the league. The purest sports and the purest showdowns are sometimes more attractive than those bells and whistles!

In short, although public opinion unanimously praises the Pacers, in fact, not many people are really optimistic that the Pacers can advance!

In other words, there are not many professionals who are optimistic about them!

Fans have always been passionate. They will support whoever plays well, who plays wonderfully and who is more touching, but for those professional football commentators, media and other practitioners, they are often more rational.

For example, the famous player's internal newspaper publishes all news and reports from the player's perspective, and also conducts many player-only newspapers. "Bleacher Report" conducted a player-only poll after the fifth game.

The final results showed that more than 91% of people believed that the Heat would win the tiebreaker.

Only 9% of people believe that the Pacers can win in the sixth or seventh game!

It can be said that the Pacers are unanimously looked down upon by their peers.

There is nothing we can do about it. Everyone has seen the tragedy of the fifth game. There are really too few people they can use. Their physical strength is obviously exhausted. They can win one or two games with willpower. This is their limit! Win further down?

Unless they have fairy beans, Superman serum or something like that, it is impossible for them to recover their physical strength and energy!

This is the limit of the human body, and it is not something that can be defeated over and over again through sheer willpower.

Kenny expressed little in a program: "The Pacers' performance is very respectable. They have really exceeded our predictions. It is incredible that they can force the Heat into this situation with their current lineup. But it’s really hard for me to believe they can keep going.”

"But no matter what, based on their performance in this series, they will definitely be the league's top favorites next season!"

Barkley, who has always been brainless to side with the Pacers and is a die-hard supporter of the Pacers and Lin Tian, ​​also expressed his pessimism on the same show: "I contacted people from the Pacers, and I have to say that the situation is very... Oops, guys were at their limit and old guy Sam even went to the hospital after the game.”

"Poor guy, he was so tired that he had to receive nutritional fluids. The situation of others was similar. In short, after the game, the Pacers didn't have any laughter. They were just tired."

What Barkley and Kenny said is actually very obvious.

Unless a miracle happens or the Pacers are allowed to rest for at least another week, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

They have indeed reached their limit.

Then the sixth game in Miami fully proved all this. The game fell into the Heat's rhythm from the beginning. They pressed the Pacers from the first second of the game!

At the beginning of this game, Bird thought about using his main players to fight to see if he could win the game in the sixth game.

But less than 5 minutes into the first quarter, when the Pacers were completely unable to match the Heat in terms of intensity and fell behind by 5 points in 10 minutes, Bird quickly woke up and immediately He replaced his three main players, replaced Perkins and others, and let them rest.

This game is almost a replica of Game 4, but the difference is that the Pacers resisted less tonight and lost even more miserably!

Bird showed his usual decisiveness in this game. After the three substitutes came on the scene in the first 5 minutes, they never rested and played the entire game. As for the starting five, they continued to rotate back and forth. Fight, let them consume as little as possible and save as much physical energy as possible.

This kind of strategy and tactics naturally caused the Pacers to suffer another miserable bloodbath!

101: 60!

The crazy Heat defeated the Pacers by 41 points on this night!

This loss broke the Pacers' single-game point loss record and was their worst loss in the history of the playoffs!

And the aftermath of this fiasco doesn't stop there.

At this point in this series, there is only one day between Game 1 and Game , and the Pacers still need to return to Indiana from Miami.

Even though Bird has allowed his players to rest as much as possible, serious fatigue and complete overdraft are obviously not easy to recover from.

In the seventh game of the series, although Bird tried every means to encourage the team before the game, although the players really wanted to continue their miracle, win another game at home and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

But they really can't fight anymore.

Including Lin Tian's physical strength, it has actually reached the point of being completely exhausted.

In Game 7 of the series, the Pacers put up some resistance, but not much.

In the first half, they were still in a stalemate with the Heat, only trailing by 9 points. But in the third quarter, when the physical bottleneck reappeared, the Heat once again showed their strength at this time!

Less than 4 minutes into the second half, the Heat launched another 9:2 offensive climax.

They opened the point difference to more than 15 points in one fell swoop!

In the following games, the Pacers were no longer able to narrow the point difference to less than 10 points. Although their main players were still fighting hard on the court, the 10-point difference was like an insurmountable gap. They were still unable to narrow the gap. approaching.

Until the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Pacers were still 16 points behind!

Judging from their state tonight, there is obviously no chance for this game.

The Pacers fans in the stands watched the players dragging their heavy legs, running tiredly, and making the final struggle. Finally, some people couldn't help it anymore.

I don’t know who started it first, but then the scope became bigger and bigger!

Eventually the chants turned into a unified roar from the audience.

"Okay, let's rest!"

Fans, I hope from the bottom of my heart, my heroes, sit down and rest for a while!

That's enough!

Listening to the uniform shouts in the stadium, Bird finally couldn't hold it back, and his eyes instantly turned red. He applied for a timeout and beat Lin Tian, ​​Christie, and Lin Tian, ​​who still hadn't rested for a second, and his eyes. Perkins, who couldn't even open his eyes, had them all replaced.

The fans are right, it’s okay, let’s rest!

As soon as Lin Tian and others sat on the bench, the Pacers' wounded soldiers sitting behind them gathered around.

"Lin did a great job! Let's continue next year!" Miller patted Lin Tian's shoulder and pursed his lips. He was the most cold-blooded on the court but actually the most emotional. At this moment, his tears could no longer be stopped.

"I won't get hurt again next year!" Carter patted his chest, expressing his determination!

"Next year, let's kill these Miami cockroaches!" Mullin sighed and sat on the bench.

Then came Ben, Schmitz, Buckner...

The Pacers players once again filled their bench. At least at this time of the game, they hope to be with their guys!

98: 80!

A few minutes later, this brutal series finally came to an end.

The Pacers lost badly in the last two games, losing by almost 60 points! But no one will criticize them harshly, and no one will say that they played badly, because they really tried their best!

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Lin Tian stood up from the bench, walked to Lewis who was sitting on the sidelines, hiding his face and crying, and rubbed the head of this young man who had just graduated from high school and was not yet 19 years old. Said: "Okay, stand up and go congratulate our opponent."

"They won fair and square, but we were not good enough! Show the grace that a defending champion should have! If you feel unwilling to admit defeat, and unwilling to accept defeat, then practice hard in the summer! Next year, we will fight back!"

"Well!" Lewis wiped his face. Although he still couldn't calm down, he stood up and moved forward with his teammates whose eyes were also red. He walked to the Heat players and hugged and shook hands with them one by one. , exchange jerseys.

Although they won a lot in the last two games, it is clear that the Pacers also gained the respect of everyone in the Heat.

"Lin, they all call me a tough guy and say I'm the toughest guy in the NBA, but to be honest, after this series, I think you deserve this title more than me." Mourning patted Lin Tian's face Shoulders, emotions from the heart.

"Based on what you said, when you don't win the championship and have nowhere to go." Lin Tian smiled and punched Mourning: "Come to me, I will take you to win the championship."

"Fuck you! I can win the championship this year!" Mourning snorted: "It's just Michael and Patrick! I'll crush them!"

"I don't think it's possible, you can't do it." Lin Tian smiled evilly and gave Mourning another shot.

"I'm convinced!" Hardaway also came over. This guy who didn't score in 4 of the first five games of the series, didn't score in double figures in the sixth and seventh games, and was completely eaten alive by Lin Tian, ​​also embraced him. Lin Tian suddenly said: "Our era is over. Next, it is your era."

"This era has never belonged to you Tim." Lin Tian quickly recovered his true nature after being sad just now: "This era belongs to Michael and Hakeem, and my era started last year! New The first decade of this century will belong to me!"

After Lin Tian was mean to Mourning and Hardaway, the two men gave Lin Tian a middle finger.

"Lin, if you are unhappy in Indiana." Riley also came over and whispered in Lin Tian's ear, but he was interrupted by Lin Tian only halfway through.

"Larry, this old guy wants to poach you!" Lin Tian shouted loudly in Bird's direction.

"FUXX!" Riley rolled his eyes and said, "What I said is very serious. If you are willing to come, I am willing to use all means to trade you!"

"Alonzo, Tim, this old guy said he wants to trade you!" Lin Tian yelled at Mourning and Hardaway in front again.

All he got was a huge eye roll and a middle finger from Riley, who then turned and walked away.

On this night, the Pacers lost their season, but they had the respect of the entire league.

Indiana, you can leave the arena with your head held high!
