NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 274 The regular season opener! Live broadcast of the Knicks Awards Ceremony!

The Pacers' opponent in the first game was also carefully selected by the league. They were their opponents in the first round of the playoffs last season, the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson!

This season's 76ers roster is not much different from last season. They still have Iverson as the absolute core, and the rest of the players are responsible for defense and rebounding. Iverson handles the offensive style.

Perhaps the only thing worth looking forward to in their lineup this season is the rookie the team selected last year, Larry Hughes, who had some good and outstanding performances in the second half of the season and the playoffs.

His speed, impact and talent are likely to bring some different extra surprises to the 76ers!

Indiana fans, who can sell out many consecutive games in the preseason and are in short supply, will certainly not let even one empty seat appear during the official regular season.

Not to mention that tonight's opponent is very strong, the 76ers with Iverson. Naturally, the fans will not miss this kind of game. They came to the stadium early to send some love blessings to Iverson. '.

"Aaron! Why don't you play hockey? You don't have to bend down to play that thing. You have talent!"

"I heard you can still play rugby? What position do you play in rugby? Do you get the ball thrown around?"

"Lin, please be careful with Allen later. If this guy jumps up, he will slam your knees!"

After Weber got the ball, he turned around and dribbled away without any sense of self-awareness from the inside players. After two steps of dribbling, the entire 76ers defense was confused about what Weber was going to do, but the basketball in Weber's hand was... Suddenly he flew towards the basket.

"It's okay. Next, we will steal everyone's rings!" Lin Tian glanced at the big screen and said, "They will never get even one ring again!"

"Maybe." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and made a complicated greeting gesture with Iverson, but he didn't give in at all: "But I am the best player in the universe. As for the first and second positions? Yes, just like it."

"As for what Rob said, just pretend he didn't say it."

For the Pacers, they continue their preseason starting lineup: Ben, Webb, Christie, Miller and Lin Tian!

As for the 76ers, Troy Hill, who returned from injury, took back his starting position. The other four were exactly the same as when the two teams met in the playoffs last season: Ratliff, George, Iverson and Snow!

Although this lineup has changed one person, their playing style and core ideas are exactly the same as last season.

"Wait to die!"

This move by the home staff was obviously very successful!

And they inspired more than just the Pacers' fighting spirit. The first people whose eyes were so stimulated were reddened were the Pacers fans!

The noise they made was 10 times stronger than before, and they couldn't wait to tear their opponents apart! Regardless of whether this opponent is the Knicks who stole their championship ring, in short, they are going to kill them!

"But it's ridiculous, I don't want to be called such a bad name!" Lin Tian muttered. At this time, the championship ceremony was already halfway through. Jordan spoke on behalf of the Knicks. Everyone received rings and championship flags. It has also been raised to the ceiling.

Just as the players from both sides were warming up, suddenly the big screen above their heads dimmed, and then suddenly lit up again. But this time, the picture on the big screen was no longer the introduction of the Pacers players or the highlights of last season's team. Instantly.

"Just like no one can stop me from thinking that I am the best number one position on the planet."

"You can also play like this." Lin Tian sprayed and started to steal Iverson's ball. At the same time, he said without stopping: "Let your Ratliff or Hill pass a few passes to you! You pass the ball Give it to them, you lone wolf who doesn’t pass the ball!”

Not only the injured Ewing and the retired Jordan, but also many famous players in the history of the Knicks appeared on the scene: Earl Monroe, Bernard King, Willis Reed...

There is no need to continue reading the rest.

As for the Pacers' lineup, they have demonstrated unparalleled offensive strength in the preseason. Now, it depends on whether they can bring this offensive system into the regular season!

The referee blew the whistle and the basketball was thrown into the air.

"If you accept being his little brother, he will be the best big brother in the world, but if you don't want to, then he will be a nightmare." Lin Tian shrugged, and together with Weber, turned around to warm up. .

"I have been the assist leader for two seasons! Even if you are best at scoring, do you know how to write the word scoring champion?" Lin Tian was hung up by Hill's screen. Seeing Iverson speeding up the breakthrough, he Immediately turned around and continued the pursuit from behind Iverson.

After Iverson said hello, he turned around and left in a swagger. At this time, Webber also reached out from behind Lin Tian and said: "This guy seems to be pretty good."

"No Allen, you are wrong." Lin Tian turned around, deliberately raised his head and looked for it twice before lowering his head and said: "You will soon find that compared with us, our fans are simply yours." Kiss grandma! They are definitely the friendliest people to you tonight!"

This electric attack naturally received wild cheers from the fans in the audience as encouragement!

It was at this time that the big screen went dark again.

The boos all over the place didn't stop at all after the 76ers entered the arena. The fans were going crazy, venting their frustration of not seeing the game for half a year. They spent all the money they had accumulated in the past six months. All the passion is released!

Iverson pouted, swung his arms, and with his signature expression of dissatisfaction with no one, he walked to Lin Tian and said: "Rob told me to be polite when I meet you. We are one of our own, but your fans are not friendly enough."

It is indeed comfortable to play with this guy!

Especially when Bird gave Weber enough tactical autonomy and allowed him to do everything in the transition between offense and defense, this allowed Weber's influence on the offensive end to be directly maximized!

"My grandma's big yellow dog is so big because of you! With a small body like yours, do you really not think about feeding on the milk of your mother who has been there for another two years?"

"Go back to kindergarten! That's your home!"

The home staff played this to the Pacers to stimulate their fighting spirit and anger.

After all, this is the Knicks' championship celebration almost every 30 years, and it is indeed worthy of a proper celebration.

"boom!"

"I like this sentence!" Weber flexed his muscles and said: "Maybe we can change the name. How about Predator? It sounds much more domineering than Walker!"

This is the Pacer they're looking at!

During the 76ers' offense, Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt and faced Lin Tian. He immediately said: "You only know this sneaky style of play, Lin? Huh? You don't have the guts to face me face to face?"

Let them give the 76ers a good showdown in the first game of the new season and let them know who is the real boss!

Accompanied by the almost violent roars of the fans at the scene, players from both sides stood on the court, waiting for the game to start.

Hill slapped the ball to Iverson. Iverson immediately started to speed up. He sprinted with all his strength and crossed the half court in the blink of an eye. After observing the situation for a while, Iverson immediately increased his speed. Extremely, at the same time, Snow and Lynch stood in Iverson's way, one behind the other, giving him two consecutive screens!

After Lin Tian collided with people twice, he finally failed to keep up with Iverson's speed. He watched this guy go all the way to the basket and scored 2 points with a layup!

After the goal, before Iverson had time to clap his hands to celebrate, Christie, who was only half a step late, had already picked up the ball and passed it to Weber, who had just reached the 3-point line.

The entire 76ers players only had time to look back and could not make any other reaction at all. The distance of this pass was really too long, and the timing of the pass was really too bad!

Hanging on the basket, it was Lin Tian who had just been thrown away by two screens by Iverson. After swinging on the basket twice, he landed easily. When he turned back to defense, he did not forget to talk to Webber. High five.

"I averaged 7 assists per game last season!" Iverson was wary of Lin Tian's interception of the ball and waved to his teammates to step forward and cover.

The so-called 206 cm tall Ben really doesn't have much of an advantage when jumping the ball, especially because his hair style is a bit too exaggerated. Lin Tiandu felt that maybe his hair prevented him from raising his arm to touch it. The speed of the ball.

1 shot, 4 steals, 1 offense and 4 defense!

Use every effort to create shooting space and shooting opportunities for Iverson, use every method to plug Iverson's loopholes on the defensive end, and let Iverson try his best to defend people who are not very good at offense.

"Thieves! They stole our rings!" Da Ben stood next to Lin Tian and muttered angrily.

"Snapped!"

The picture on the big screen changed to Madison Square Garden!

Looking at the conditions on the court, it is obvious that this is the scene of the Knicks' championship flag-raising ceremony and ring awarding ceremony!

Today is a big day for the Knicks!

"That's what I mean." Iverson stretched out his fist and touched Lin Tian and said, "No one can stop me from hating and defeating you."

Ben in front of Iverson carefully controlled the distance between the two, his muscles flexed all over his body, and he looked like he was ready. It was obvious that this guy was determined to defend against Iverson's attack.

Iverson broke through all the way, but he didn't dare to stop at all. He knew that Lin Tian behind him had been waiting for an opportunity. As long as he stopped for a moment, he would immediately be entangled by Lin Tian behind him again.

But the ugly guy with an afro in front of him gave Iverson a sense of oppression that he had only experienced when facing insiders such as Mourning and Mutombo in the past.

Just when Iverson was hesitating whether to challenge Ben directly or slow down to find his teammates, Lin Tian had already caught up. He suddenly struck from behind Iverson and knocked away Iverson's dribble.

Ben, who had worked with Lin Tian for two years and had a very good understanding of it, was already prepared. He hugged the flying basketball and quickly gave it to Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he didn't give Iverson and the 76ers a chance to catch up. He increased his speed and rushed towards the frontcourt!

After a crazy push like lightning and thunder, the 76ers were still able to stand in front of Lin Tian with only one Snow.

But Snow didn't even have time to foul Lin Tian, ​​because Lin Tian had already passed the ball from behind to the center.

Then Snow saw a huge black shadow, rushing towards him like a mountain bearing down on him.

Then Snow felt his eyes go dark!

A huge force struck, sending Snow flying straight away, and he fell out of the bottom line in embarrassment.

"boom!"

After a bang, the person swinging back and forth with his hands hanging on the basket this time became Webber!

The entire Conseco Center immediately let out a burst of exclamations.

In this era, 95% of the post players are average post-up players and can eat cakes under the basket. A few elite stars can do some advanced things such as jump shots and smooth breakthroughs facing the frame.

As for David Robinson, a monster whose skills such as direct face-to-face changes, turns, and pull-up jump shots from the high post are no different from those of a small forward, he is the only one in the entire history of the league, and there is no other one.

As for a guy like Weber who can truly pass the ball, organize, dribble forward, and participate in fast break dunks, it is also difficult to find another one in the entire league!

His speed, agility, basic skills, vision and awareness are really not that of an inside player.

Weber's dunk completely detonated the entire Conseco Arena. The fans roared wildly and cheered for Weber and Lin Tian's cooperation. Lin Tian gave Weber a high-five and quickly Returned to his position and started to defend.

Both of them know that the surprise they brought to the fans today has just begun!

In the next round, Iverson once again looked for cover from his teammates, then accelerated and rushed past Lin Tian. This time, Iverson's attack was more decisive. He did not observe his teammates, nor did he hesitate. He went forward without hesitation and rushed to the basket!

Ben, who was under the basket, had been waiting for a long time. After calculating Iverson's attack point, Ben was like a wolf rushing towards his food, and rushed towards Iverson!

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound, and Iverson and Ben collided heavily in the air. Then Iverson incredibly felt a huge force coming from him. The man instantly lost his center of gravity in mid-air, and his wrists He could only reluctantly pick towards the basket, trying to put the ball into the basket.

But Ben's giant palm was something he had been waiting for for a long time, and he slapped the basketball Iverson had just shot with great precision.

Iverson's fall was really bad. He almost fell sideways and slid on the floor for a long time before he stopped.

It's a pity that the Pacers were unable to launch their own quick counterattack, because maybe Iverson fell a little badly this time, or maybe he was possessed by the star whistle. In short, the referee's whistle sounded and they gave him a slap. After a blocking foul, Iverson will go to the free throw line.

The big screen at the scene immediately cooperated and gave a replay of the round just now, a clean block and perfect defense!

How can the fans at the scene be polite? They didn't even need this scene to boo the referee without any scruples!

Anyway, they felt that the ball was not a foul!

The referee on the scene was a veteran who had experienced the battlefield. He turned a deaf ear to the boos from the fans. He calmly walked to the baseline, made two free throw gestures, and then gave the ball to Iverson.

"How much do you bench press?" Iverson did not rush to shoot free throws. Instead, he looked at Ben and asked his question.

Although he has only played in the NBA for three years, the blow Ben gave him just now really scared him. Before that, a few violent monsters such as Mourning and O'Neal had given him this sense of oppression.

"215 kilograms!" Omoto bared his big white teeth, and used both hands to bulge up his muscles, looking fierce.

"Bullshit." Iverson cursed, with a look of disbelief. After all, the NBA's currently known bench press record is Barkley's 205 kilograms. You are a little-known person and have no memory except for your hairstyle. The guy who ordered it weighed 215 kilograms when he opened his mouth?

What a liar!

But Iverson also knew that even if Ben was bragging, there wasn't much water in it. Even if Ben didn't weigh 200 kilograms just now, he definitely couldn't bench press around 195 kilograms!

monster!

Iverson glanced at Ben and then at Lin Tian, ​​with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Why don’t I have monster teammates like this?

You, Lin Tiandu, are obviously so good at fighting, and having an inside partner with such terrifying strength is simply a foul!

After thinking about it and being jealous, Iverson still made 2 free throws steadily and did not waste the half points.

"Ben, I remember your bench press last season was around 175, wasn't it? Is this 215?" Webb waited until Iverson and the 76ers players stepped back, and immediately started curiously chatting with Ben.

"Of course not. I'm not a monster. How could I improve so much in half a year?" Da Ben chuckled and said with a proud expression: "That's just 200 kilograms. I lied to that dwarf. Lin often asked me to repay him." A height of 206 centimeters or even 208 centimeters can scare people."

"I think height is the same as strength. The taller you are, the scarier you are."

"Smart!" Weber gave a thumbs up, but what he was thinking about was that he must have a good relationship with Ben in the future and never have any conflicts with him!

After all, his own bench press is only about 170 kilograms, which is considered average among insiders.

As for the big book...

Weber felt that the real data he reported was even more scary. After all, 215 kilograms was a bit unbelievable, and it sounded fake at first glance.

But 200 kilograms is very real! Very real and scary!

The Pacers' offense finally fell into a positional battle. Snow immediately stepped up and pressed, trying to pressure Lin Tian's dribbling so that he could not move the ball comfortably.

But unfortunately, Lin Tian completely ignored Snow's defense and easily threw him aside with a dribble. When Snow wanted to keep up with Lin Tian, ​​he already felt that there was another one beside him. Dark shadow.

Weber had already come to cover Lin Tian.

Lin Tian reached the 3-point line in the blink of an eye, and the 76ers' defense immediately became trembling!

After Lin Tianyun reached the free throw line, he suddenly made a one-handed behind-the-back pass, which scared the 76ers players and immediately moved two steps in the direction of Webber. But as soon as they moved, they discovered that the basketball in Lin Tian's hand was still there. On his hands! Pass fake!

Then the entire 76ers team was stunned in synchronicity, only to find that Weber had already launched an attack and reached the area below the free throw line. Then the basketball in Lin Tian's hand had somehow reached Weber's hand again!

"boom!"

Then there was an earth-shaking explosion, and Weber succeeded again with a two-handed dunk!

The Pacers played an extremely satisfying two-man team, knocking the 76ers' defense to pieces.

Then, Lin Tian suddenly took out a hand and made a fist above his head, shouting: "Intensity!"

So, when the 76ers launched another attack, everyone discovered that the Pacers players, who had just been aloof and not defending them closely, suddenly increased the intensity of their physical confrontation. It looks like the secondary game has reached the shutdown moment!

As for Lin Tian himself, he directly entangled Iverson, and the two faced each other for the first time tonight's head-on offensive and defensive duel!

"Come on Allen! Let me see what you have practiced this offseason! Have you made any progress?" Lin Tian and Iverson were entangled, and at the same time they began to provoke.

"Come on! I thought you didn't want to fight me tonight!" Iverson's eyes immediately lit up, and the speed of dribbling with both hands suddenly accelerated again, and at the same time he yelled: "Pull away! Pull away!" open!"

That's right, Iverson is about to show off!

But it's a pity that Lin Tian doesn't want him to show off, and Christie doesn't want him to show off either!

Iverson felt that he had just dribbled the ball twice and had not yet found a rhythm to start attacking. Christie came from the blind spot of his vision and formed a double-team with Lin Tian in the blink of an eye!

"FUXX! Lin, don't you want to challenge me to a duel!" Iverson yelled dissatisfied.

"I want to challenge you to a duel, but Doug also wants to challenge you! Neither of us can convince the other." Lin Tian shamelessly pushed Iverson with his chest, and at the same time, he saw the opportunity and took a shot. But he couldn't succeed, so he continued: "So the two of us decided to challenge you together!"

"So shameless!" At this point, Christie couldn't stand it. How could Lin be so thick-skinned?

Christie and Lin Tianke are both the top perimeter defenders in the league today. At this moment, the two of them were facing each other, which made Iverson extremely uncomfortable. He could only dribble back and try to create some distance. Handle the ball.

But unfortunately, Lin Tian and Christie had obviously anticipated this a long time ago, and immediately pressed forward, without giving Iverson any space or opportunity.

Seeing that he was about to return to the court after retreating, Iverson had no choice but to forcefully jump up and try to pass the ball.

But he, a dwarf who is barely 180 centimeters tall, faced a 191 centimeters and a 2-meter one, and just passed the ball like that?

There will be no surprises at all!

Christie used a volleyball blocking action to slap Iverson's pass directly back to the half court. Lin Tian ran quickly, grabbed the basketball, and then launched another fast break toward the frontcourt.

In a 1-on-0 dunk opportunity in the frontcourt, Lin Tian's take-off distance this time was much closer than what he was used to before. However, this time he did not choose the tomahawk he usually used before, but rounded his arms after taking off. , slamming the ball into the basket with one hand!

One-arm windmill dunk!

This is a new trick that Lin Tian developed after improving his jumping and body coordination. He didn't dare to jump like this before.

If you can't jump so high, the ball will fly easily.

But now.

easy!

The fans immediately burst into cheers. Although Lin Tian's dunk was almost different from Carter's sitting on the bench, it was definitely an extremely exciting dunk!

"How about Vince?" Bird couldn't help but asked Carter.

"It's not that good. It's not as good as me. I can dunk a windmill that is similar to this level without running up, and I can guarantee that the swing will be rounder than Lin's!" When it comes to dunking, Carter has never been modest or polite, he is just direct. It means I am number one in the world!

"Who asked you this!" Bird rolled his eyes and said: "I want to ask you, do you think Lin's dunk has improved significantly compared to last season?"

After hearing this, Carter recalled for a moment, and then said: "This seems to be Lin's first dunk. Before, he preferred to use gliding and split dunks to cover up his shortcomings in jumping height."

You dare to say that his jumping height is average, a person who can almost step on the free throw line and dunk, but you say that he can't jump well?

Bird shook his head and decided not to talk to Carter about dunking. At the same time, Bird felt that this guy's invisible pretense actually had a bit of his own shadow.

He usually doesn't say anything but pretends to be cool, but he's actually a good guy!

But Carter's words obviously reminded Bird, who carefully reviewed the two years of cooperation with Lin Tian.

Carter is right, Lin Tian has never used a windmill dunk.

It’s not that this action is difficult, but that it’s really difficult to do it beautifully and to make the pinwheel round!

If you don't swing the windmill well, it can easily look very wretched, like a convulsion in the air. It shakes twice and then puts the ball in.

Based on Bird's understanding of Lin Tian, ​​this guy who likes to show off and pretend is definitely not hiding a trick that he didn't use before, but it's just that the buckle is not beautiful at all, so he doesn't buckle like this!

But for the dunk he just made, Bird was willing to give him a 9-point score!

To sum up, Bird nodded with great satisfaction as he watched Lin Tian continue to pester Iverson.

Although this guy seems to be not doing his job properly during the offseason, he is wasting energy by doing training camps, variety shows, and playing low-level games.

But his training really didn't fall behind at all, and he was able to improve so obviously!

What a prehistoric monster!

Bird once again defined Lin Tian in his mind. The speed and extent of this guy's progress were so surprising!

An absolute monster!

On the court, the Pacers were crazy about Iverson in the first few minutes, making it impossible for him to attack one-on-one. The constant high-post attacks and high-intensity defense made it impossible for the 76ers to attack. .

Not to mention, when the Pacers are attacking, their offensive tactics are even more unpredictable. Four of the five players on the team have first-class to top-notch ball handling and passing abilities. Their cooperation The 4ers were completely unable to match up, and from time to time there would be an opening under the basket. The entire 76ers team could only watch as the Pacers players made layups.

5: 15!

After 4 minutes of the first quarter, 76ers coach Larry Brown knew that he could not continue playing like this, and he took the lead in calling the first timeout of the night.

The Pacers are too aggressive on both offense and defense, and he must change his formation in advance!

So Brown also rotated personnel during the timeout. He took down George and Snow, who had no threat on the offensive end, and took on the energetic Hughes and Aaron McGee, who has stronger offensive capabilities. .

Although the defensive ability and size of these two are far inferior to George and Snow, but, after all, George and Snow have to be beaten, right? It's better to try and see if they can explode each other.

It was Iverson who still dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. After the 76ers replaced Hughes and McGee with relatively stronger offensive capabilities, the Pacers' defense obviously did not dare to be so crazy anymore.

This time Iverson didn't have to face double-teams anymore. He chose to dribble continuously, and then after a little space, he made a mid-range jumper and hit!

"You can't guard me by yourself!" After scoring the goal, Iverson's confidence greatly increased and he shouted at Lin Tian: "Lin, you are no match for me. How dare you go one-on-one with me?" , I can beat you to death!"

"I didn't want to hit you with my back." Lin Tian dribbled calmly to the frontcourt, then turned around, leaned his back against Iverson, and then suddenly exerted force, 'Bang, bang! 'Hit Iverson twice in a row.

Even though Iverson has almost top strength on the outside, he is completely powerless in the face of the huge size gap and inherent disadvantages. Apart from reaching out in despair, he has no way to deal with Lin Tian. Playing a post-up game like a gangster.

After beating Iverson twice, Lin Tian made a cool turnaround jumper and easily won 2 points!

"You insist on spewing trash at me, aren't you looking for death?" After Lin Tian scored, he spread his hands and shrugged, as if you were asking for it.

In the next first quarter of the game, Iverson was completely out of temper due to Lin Tian's disgusting expression and unreasonable post-up play.

For a guy like Iverson, if Lin Tian uses Jordan's footsteps, rhythm and skills to beat him in singles, he will recognize him no matter who is behind him!

But Lin Tian hit him with just one move.

Bang bang bang, he fought a few times and then suddenly turned around and shot a jumper.

This move looks basic, simple and easy to defend against.

However, due to the height difference of more than 10 centimeters and the weight difference of almost 15 kilograms between the two, Iverson had no way to guard him. He was bullied again and again by Lin Tian and had no temper.

Although Iverson's offensive space has improved a lot after the Pacers turned to one-on-one defense, and he also scored a few goals, his success rate is obviously not comparable to Lin Tian.

After all, one of the two shot from a semi-open position after completely pushing the opponent away, while the other had to force the shot against someone else.

Lin Tian went to rest after playing 9 minutes in the first quarter, but he had already contributed 10 points and 3 assists. Also going to rest with him was Miller. Miller's performance in the first quarter tonight It didn't feel very good. He made 4 of 1 shots and only scored 3 points.

Taking their place were Buckner and Carter.

When Iverson faced off against Buckner, his offensive efficiency improved significantly, and all of his next three shots in the first quarter were hits.

Fortunately, Carter was in very good condition tonight and scored two goals in a row after coming on the field. This prevented the 76ers from quickly recovering too many points.

20: 31!

At the end of the first quarter, even though Iverson scored 15 points, the team was already 11 points behind the Pacers.

And another detail can actually explain more problems.

Iverson, the absolute core of the 76ers, played the entire first quarter.

But for the Pacers, Webber played 8 minutes, and Lin Tian and Miller only played 9 minutes.

The gap in the playing time of the main players, coupled with the gap of more than 10 points between the two sides, in fact, the strength gap between the two teams can be clearly seen from the first quarter of the game!

In the second quarter of the game, Iverson did not rest and continued to partner with McGee and Hughes on the outside. This time they finally had a small climax and narrowed the point difference to 5 points.

Then, the Pacers quickly changed into their main lineup!

After Lin Tian and Weber chased and beat the 76ers' defense again, although the score difference between the two sides quickly reached more than 10 points again, the score difference failed to expand further.

During this period, the Pacers used the all-attack outside combination of Lin Tian, ​​Carter and Miller, plus Webb and Lewis, two inside players who are also good at offense. It stands to reason that during this period, the Pacers will be the fastest. When the score difference is widened, a counterattack begins.

This time the Pacers' problem mainly lies with Miller!

From the time this lineup came on with 8 minutes left in the second quarter to Bird's substitution with 3 minutes left in the first half, Miller had 4 opportunities to shoot from beyond the 3-point line, two of which were It's a big gap.

But he only caught one of them, and hit all the remaining three!

If it weren't for the offensive accuracy of the rest of the Pacers, and the 76ers really had no reliable second offensive point except Iverson, and Iverson was uncomfortable being targeted by Lin Tian.

Otherwise, it’s still unclear who is in the lead now!

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, when Bird made another substitution and replaced Reggie Miller with Christie, the Pacers' offense became fierce again!

It was also an open 3-point opportunity. Miller just missed it, but Christie did!

When Christie and Carter each hit a 3-pointer from the left and right, the 76ers' defense in the middle immediately opened wide. Lin Tian's breakthrough was even easier and more comfortable. In addition, Webb was there to provide support. In 3 minutes, the Pacers launched an 11:0 offensive climax!

The score difference between the two sides reached more than 20 points in the blink of an eye!

On the bench, Miller, who had a bad performance tonight and a bad hand, said nothing, pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's okay Reggie, everyone is in bad shape sometimes." Bird noticed that Miller was a little absent-minded, put his arm on his shoulder and said: "Don't tell me, I still have to spend my energy on comforting you. mood."

"Fuck you, I'm fine." Miller pouted, indicating that he was fine, but his eyes clearly said: He was fine.

After gaining a lead of more than 20 points in the first half, the Pacers did not give the 76ers any room for fantasy in the third quarter. With both sides returning to their starting lineups, the Pacers came up. It was the double-teaming against Iverson that prevented him from unleashing his firepower.

What followed was a series of dizzying offensive frenzy, including Weber's single at the basket, Lin Tian's breakthrough pass, Weber's high-post pass to Christie who was cutting through the air for a dunk...

And the most exciting round of the entire game tonight!

Weber got the basketball from outside the 3-point line at the top of the arc, and hit the ball directly from outside the 3-point line into the paint with a behind-the-back shot. Lin Tian, ​​who cut here through the air, didn't even dribble after getting the ball. Another behind-the-back pass gave the ball to Christie, who rushed in from the middle.

Christie, who was also having fun, also passed the ball from behind, and the basketball was given to Ben Ben under the basket.

At this moment, there was nothing in front of Ben except the basket. The entire 76ers defense was stunned by these three consecutive behind-the-back passes.

"boom!"

After a bang, Big Ben dunked with both hands and scored his first 2 points tonight. At the same time, the Pacers' lead tonight reached 30 points for the first time!

Then during the dead-ball period after one round, Bird quickly replaced his starting lineup, a five-on-five-down lineup, with Davis, Harrington, Mullin, Carter and Buckner on the field.

After these five people played for a few more minutes, Bird simply replaced Davis and Carter, and after replacing them with two role players, he also officially announced that tonight's game has entered garbage time!

In the end, the score of the whole game was fixed at 99:119!

The 76ers relied on their courage to play hard in the fourth quarter and recovered some points to prevent themselves from losing too ugly.

This night, the Pacers announced their strong return with an easy victory!

In addition, the Knicks, who had just received their championship ring on another court, were not so lucky tonight. They were defeated by their opponents by 31 points, becoming the first team in NBA history to win a championship. After that, the defending champion lost the worst in the opening game!

With Jordan retiring and Ewing not knowing when to come back, the Knicks will obviously have to endure a lot of similar beatings this season!
