NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 277 Fighting battle! The best offensive level in history!

On this night, it doesn't matter how Lin Tian arranged for these bastards of pioneers, how he found happiness with money, or how he had a good exchange with a girl about philosophical topics about soul and desire.

This part will not be discussed for now.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the night of the Christmas game, and the Conseco Arena was packed with people as usual. The fans filled the arena to capacity, and once again the Pacers' tickets were sold out!

Before the game started, Bird slapped himself in the locker room and said excitedly: "Okay, guys! Get ready! Let's blast the villains on the opposite side and turn the game into garbage early. time, and then go home from get off work early!”

"It's Christmas tonight, but there are people in your family waiting for you to go back to eat turkey together! It's a big holiday, so don't let your family down!"

After Bird finished speaking the last few words, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to walk out of the tunnel with him and prepare for the next, much-anticipated Christmas game!

The league's No. 1 Pacers VS the Western Conference's No. 2 Trail Blazers!

In this game, the Pacers did not rely on anything. They still came up with the most convenient starting lineup they have used this season: Ben, Webber, Christie, Carter and Lin Tian!

The Trail Blazers' five-man team is equally stable: center Sabonis, power forward Rasheed, small forward Pippen, shooting guard Smith, and point guard Stoudemire!

The biggest feature of these five people is that all five of them are at a quasi-All-Star level. All five of them have the ability to be the boss of a weak team and produce good statistics. They can also play team basketball in a team like the Trail Blazers. The water is rising!

And the biggest reason why the Trail Blazers' lineup is successful is actually this! These five people are all about the same strength, and their levels are almost in the middle. No one is particularly strong, and no one will hold them back!

It was such a situation that actually allowed the Trail Blazers to find a wonderful balance! Everyone magically unites to fight against the enemy!

There is no team boss in this team, but everyone is the team boss!

What they play is balance and teamwork.

He is very aware of his current physical fitness. When faced with that kind of impactful small guard, Sabonis can still block it, but a beast like Carter...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Brains and steps!

In the Pacers' offense, Weber, who was provoked by Rasheed, rarely took the initiative to reach down to the low post and reach for the ball. Then the moment he got the ball, he suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball without looking at anyone. He smashed it in the direction of his side!

After Sabonis got the ball in the low post, he faced an opponent who was 20 centimeters shorter than him. It was easy and free to fight. No matter how strong your opponent was, no matter how aggressive you were in defending, Sabonis would just make a few light fake moves. Create a comfortable shooting space, then easily hit the board and score 2 points!

After Sabonis scored, Ben also cursed: "FUXX! This old man is like a loach! I can't exert my strength at all!"

Stoudemire said while playing the ball quickly. After fighting against Lin Tian for so many years, he has almost never had any advantage, and he is also very aware of the gap in strength between the two.

After a crisp sound, this shooter-type insider with a lot of shooting talent shook his head arrogantly and said: "Let Lin come! You can't guard against my Chris!"

High + flexibility, the Trailblazer has it all.

Tonight, I just want to bully you, 'Little Flying Squirrel'!

"BOSS, that's not necessary." Stoudemire said with a grimace as he tried to pass the baseline ball and began to advance toward the frontcourt: "You said last night that we were good brothers, so you would definitely protect me?"

Get down on the ground, turn around, and stick your butt out.

Although Ben was short, facing Sabonis who could not even jump over a matchbox, he still rarely won the jump ball and passed the ball to Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian finished complaining about Sabonis, he turned back to Stoudemire and turned around, which was an equally unappreciative action.

The experience he accumulated over the past few years told him: the best way to deal with Lin Tian is not to take the initiative to attack!

If you don't attack, there will be no shame!

For other teams, the Trail Blazers are tall and fast, but for Lin Tian, ​​they are short and slow!

If Iverson's 183 centimeters has water, this guy's maximum height is 178 centimeters.

But...

This is also one of the biggest features of the Trail Blazers: extremely mobile! From the main players to the substitutes, except for Sabonis, who is slow and can't run fast, almost everyone else in their team has the top speed and athletic ability in the same position.

Lin Tian had nothing to do about Da Ben's complaints.

Carter, who was cutting from the air, hugged the basketball, jumped up towards Sabonis, and smashed the basket with a one-armed tomahawk, slamming the basketball into the basket!

As for Sabonis, whose knees had long since been scrapped, he had already very wisely moved to one side and did not let himself become Carter's background.

Rashid was still shaking his head and said proudly: "Anyway, I will beat you up completely tonight!"

Nastadamal's 178 centimeters is obviously very wet. Lin Tian's visual inspection showed that this guy is at most 173 centimeters!

Although this old man's coaching career is not impressive, he can bring together such a group of birds, beasts and strange creatures and still produce very good combat effectiveness. Dunleavy's coaching ability and charisma are absolutely extraordinary.

"Is this bastard high on drugs?" Weber said disdainfully: "I can't guard you, so other insiders are here to deal with you. What does it have to do with Lin?"

In this regard, Lin Tian actually admires Trail Blazers head coach Mike Dunleavy.

However, although Sabonis is old and frail, and his athletic ability has been infinitely close to 0, his advantages will not diminish with age.

"When you were in your rookie year, you faced me, and you were so arrogant that you wanted to kill me, Damon?" Lin Tian curled his lips and said, "I still like your unruly look."

There's no need, it's only the first quarter, let's talk about the hard work in the fourth quarter.

"I also hate this greasy style of play." Lin Tian dribbled the ball and cursed: "It's too boring to watch!"

On the first goal of the game, Lin Tian stopped playing!

After three consecutive hits, Stoudemire was so angry that he almost lost his breath. Then Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and turned around, shooting a jumper directly!

"Shh!"

But not important.

"At that time, I didn't know that you could fight, drink, play and take care of your brothers so much." Stoudamire said bluntly: "If you had known, I would have called you BOSS at that time."

Sabonis's style of play has no solution anywhere. The standard loach-type style of play, where the feet do not leave the ground and does not exert much force. It is a display of pure experience and basic skills, and then you can get space, and then put The ball goes into the basket.

In addition, except for Stoudemire, the other four players have the top size in the league at the same position! For example, Smith at position 2 is over 2 meters tall. Pippen is also a well-known talent, as are Rasheed who is 211 centimeters tall and Sabonis who is 221 centimeters tall.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he was just about to find an opportunity to make a quick pass or a fast break, but found that the entire Blazers team, except Sabosny, was still running slowly and leisurely, and the other four players had already reached the defensive position.

This is also an important magic weapon for them to become the second best team in the Western Conference and the top team in the league.

Fight Stoudemire.

"brush!"

The height of these four people are all the best in the same position. Even with Stoudemire, who is 178 centimeters in height, the average height of the team's starting lineup ranks among the top three in the league!

But, I admire you, but when it comes time to beat him to death, Lin Tian will never show mercy!

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

Just wait for the opportunity and score a few easy points when you get the chance to make the data less ugly!

It was Rashid who took Stoudemire's basketball. He took a look at the ball at a 45-degree angle on the wing and found that Webber was actually 2 meters away from him. He raised his hands directly and performed his signature straight-arm shot. Take action!

'Boom!Bang!Bang! '

Then he turned around and took off. This time Lin Tian didn't shoot. He saw Weber turning around and getting a little space under the basket. He immediately changed his shot into a pass, passing through the entire Trail Blazers' defense like a basketball bomb, and then smashed into the inside. Came to Weber's hands.

"boom!"

After the explosion, Weber hung his hands on the basket and looked at Rasheed arrogantly: "Where are you? You are defending!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Lin is my most respected brother, I would have punched you so hard that stars appeared in your eyes!" Rasheed bared his teeth at Weber fiercely: "But now, I decided to use basketball. Teach you a lesson."

How childish!

Lin Tian felt very ashamed after listening to Rashid's words.

But be ashamed at the same time...

Doesn’t it seem a bit satisfying to have such a large group of villains worshiping themselves as idols?

When the Trail Blazers attacked, it was Rasheed's turn to get the ball.

The position where he wants the ball is different from that of other insiders. He is not in the low post, nor is he cooperating at the free throw line. Instead, he reaches for the ball from the waist position on the wing.

This position is generally the favorite position for the outside stars in positions 2-3 to get the ball in singles. When the inside players get the ball from here, it is somewhat too far away from the basket.

But Rashid’s favorite is this location!

After he got the ball, he immediately turned from his back to facing the frame, then took two tentative steps to shake Weber's center of gravity, then suddenly pulled it up and threw it!

"Shh!"

There was another crisp sound, and Rashid hit another mid-range jumper!

"This is how men play! Head-to-head confrontation! 1V1! Not your sneaky passing and shameless running! If you have the guts, just hit me with the ball!"

"I'll beat you! I'll beat you to death!" Weber's eyes widened. How could he, who was born in the top pick, endure this? He quickly came to the inside to ask for the ball, then with all his strength, he pushed hard towards the inside against Rashid!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two consecutive times, although Weber's strength is not outstanding, it is above average. Coupled with his little skills and footsteps, he can easily carry Rashid to the edge of the 3-second zone, just pulling. When Sid thought Webber would hit the basket again to complete the attack, Webber passed the ball again!

This time the basketball flew directly over Rashid's head and came directly above the basket!

"boom!"

There was another loud noise. This time the person who cut to the basket was Lin Tian. He took the ball with both hands in the air, then used all his strength and smashed the ball into the basket!

"It's sneaking around again!" Rashid looked at Weber and mocked disdainfully.

"Another two points that can enter the top ten goals." Weber didn't give in at all and opened his mouth to reply.

The two people were still fighting each other here, but the old monster Sabonis had already found an opportunity. He quickly came to the baseline, picked up the ball, and then threw it towards the frontcourt!

Pippen, who was already about to leave, grabbed the basketball and started to take off. When he was about to collide with Lin Tian, ​​who was back on defense, Pippen threw the ball towards the other side of the basket.

"boom!"

There was an explosion behind Lin Tian!

High guard Steve Smith made an alley-oop dunk!

With this kind of 2-on-1 ball in the frontcourt, it is really not enough for Lin Tian to defend alone!

But here's 2 versus 1, which means the Pacers have a numerical advantage in the frontcourt! Lin Tian also quickly came to the basket, picked up the basketball, made a shot put gesture, used all his strength, and threw the ball towards the front court with one hand!

The basketball turned into a streak of orange lightning, traveling across the entire court and directly into the Trail Blazers' 3-second zone!

Even a person as evil as Sabonis did not expect that the basketball would fly to his head so quickly. He was completely unprepared and could only hear a loud dunk coming from behind him!

This time it was Ben who completed the alley-oop!

And the entire Conseco Center fell into madness in an instant under this super long assist that truly spanned the entire court!

"Ho ho ho! Ho ho ho!"

"Jesus! Standard quarterback pass!"

"If Lin plays football, he will definitely become a top quarterback!"

"This is definitely the longest pass in NBA history, and it is also the shortest alley-oop!"

"Exciting! It's so exciting! Lin, let's do one more!"

"Fuck Portlanders!"

After this goal, the two sides officially ended their mutual testing. The players from both sides used their full strength to start a head-on duel!

The defensive intensity and physical confrontation on the offensive end of both sides have obviously begun to increase!

The scores of players on both sides are also increasing rapidly!

The Trail Blazers fully reflect the balance of capabilities in their starting lineup.

In the first quarter of the game, Rasheed scored a team-high 7 points, Sabonis had 4 points, Pippen had 6 points, Smith had 4 points, Stoudemire had 2 points, plus 6 points from the substitutes. The Trail Blazers scored 29 points in the first quarter!

For the Pacers, Lin Tian had 8 points, Webber had 6 points, Carter had 4 points, and no one else scored more than 2 points. They scored 31 points in the first quarter!

The first quarter of this Christmas battle will definitely satisfy all fans!

The stars exchanged insults and exciting confrontations. Both sides had extremely exciting moments that could be selected into the top ten!

Especially in the opening stage, the two super long-passing rounds between Sabonis and Lin Tian were even more exciting. The two used two exaggerated passes to fully demonstrate their passion and ability!

During the intermission of the first quarter, in the TNT studio that chose to broadcast the game, Barkley couldn't help but said: "It was really a wonderful game! The players on both sides obviously knew that the fans wanted to celebrate Christmas. What kind of performance I saw, both sides showed their top level!"

Kenny followed: "Yes! This game is really exciting! And the most important thing is that the Trail Blazers were able to block the Pacers' firepower! At least in the first quarter, they relied on offense to fight the Pacers. They go back and forth and never fall behind! Their team firepower is truly unmatched by any team!"

"Maybe the Trail Blazers do not have top stars like Lin, Reggie, Chris, and Vince who can easily score 3-40 points, but they have 7-8 people who are capable of scoring 25 points at any time! I think, This is also another way of thinking! Another way of thinking against the Pacers!" "Use a team, use a team offense that is so balanced that it is completely impossible to target, to distract the Pacers' defensive attention, and then fight against them! Next, let’s see how the two sides play in the second quarter!”

In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers got several firepower points on their bench: Bunchy Wells and Detrev Schrempf, Brian Grant, Greg Anthony and veteran Si Kurt Pippen stepped up.

After looking at this lineup, you will actually understand the real horror of the Trail Blazers!

The depth of their lineup is really great!

Just a few people in this game, Schrempf is a 3-time All-Star, and he still scored 15+7 last season. Grant also had 12+9 with the Trail Blazers last season, and the more he plays, the better he gets. , Bunch Wells, who has shown some All-Star-level potential.

Although guard Anthony does not have a very conspicuous record or potential, he has averaged 10+ points per game in many seasons and is still the team's first three-pointer on the bench!

Just four people can start in many teams! But in the Trail Blazers, they can only play as substitutes.

It can only be said that the Trail Blazers' lineup is really a bit luxurious!

For the Pacers, Lin Tianwen went to rest, Buckner and Miller partnered in the backcourt, Chris Mullin and Rashard Lewis partnered in the front line, and the center was Dale Davis, the team's starter last season.

The Pacers' lineup, well, is the same, very luxurious!

Two of the league's top shooters and an old monster, a high-quality blue-collar who can sit firmly in the starting lineup for most teams, coupled with a talented high school student and a well-known point guard in the NCAA, the Pacers can be at the top of today's league. First, the thickness of their lineup also contributes!

The rotation lineups of both sides went back and forth on the court. In the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, no one could gain any advantage!

Wells can always rely on his body and strength to bully the two old bones of the Pacers, but the two top shooters of the Pacers can also rely on their own experience and running positions to find shooting opportunities. Pippen on the striker There are also some advantages, but Lewis can also pull to the outside and use mid-to-long-range shots to put a few knives on the Blazers' defense.

In the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, both sides were very efficient, and they almost only attacked but did not defend, resulting in a score of 11:12!

The Trail Blazers relied on their substitute lineup to slightly catch up by 1 point.

They are still 1 point behind the Pacers!

Then the main lineups of both sides began to return to the court. For the Pacers, Lin Tian and Webber replaced Buckner and Davis, while the Trail Blazers replaced Anthony and Will with Stoudemire and Smith. Sri Lanka.

After this substitution, the firepower of both sides became even stronger! Moreover, the defense is also worse.

As soon as Lin Tian returned to the court, he quickly asked for the ball at the top of the key, and then turned his back to Stoudemire twice. After quickly turning around and retreating, he still did not shoot, but hit the ground and gave the ball to Weber, Weber didn't stop at all after holding the basketball with one hand. He took advantage of the situation and shot it, and the basketball came back the same way it came from!

The only difference is that Lin Tian has relied on his off-ball skills to leave Stoudemire behind, and Weber also used his acting skills to attract Schrempf's attention to his side.

"boom!"

Then, Lin Tian easily took off and performed a one-arm gliding chop to widen the point difference slightly again!

But just 10 seconds later, Stoudemire finally got tough. He used the cover of his teammates to get out of a space, and then decisively pulled out from outside the 3-point line and hit it! The two sides are back on the same starting line again!

The excited Stoudemire just wanted to slap his chest twice to show his toughness, but Weber on the inside had already quickly sent the baseline ball out again, and threw it to Lin Tian, ​​who had already started to hit the ball quickly.

Lin Tian held the ball without any hesitation. After advancing all the way to the frontcourt, he made another signature NO LOOK PASS. Looking at Miller on the left, he threw the ball to Mullin on the right.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Mullin was equally unrelenting when chasing 3 points, helping the team regain the lead!

After this three-pointer, the Trail Blazers made another substitution. Sabonis and Rasheed played side by side, and the Trail Blazers returned to the starting five!

On the Pacers side, Carter and Christie replaced Mullin, who just scored a 3-pointer, and Lewis, who has performed well this season, to continue their one-year-old and four-year-old!

"Here it comes!" Upon seeing the Pacers' lineup, Kenny immediately said excitedly: "The Pacers' strongest five, known as the Death Five by fans, are here!"

"It's not the strongest five-man group, it's the five-man group with the strongest offensive capabilities!" Barkley impatiently corrected Kenny's question, and then said: "And the death five-man group is so ugly, this is Sweep all the five-person teams or the best five-person team in the world!"

"You have the nerve to accuse me? My grandma is ten times better at naming than you!" Kenny rolled his eyes, showing great disdain for the names Barkley gave to the five Pacers: "But no matter what they are called , in short, when these five people play at the same time this season, the Pacers outscore their opponents by 36 points every 29.7 minutes!"

"They scored 131.1 points per 68 possessions and had a true shooting percentage of %!"

"These numbers rank first among all five players in NBA history who have played more than 300 minutes! First in history!"

"In addition, what is more worth mentioning is that their defensive efficiency is very low. The defensive efficiency of their lineup is average or even below average at best! And under this defensive level, they have such a terrifying net win. Points, what they rely on is offense! The purest offense!"

"In other words, if they can maintain their current level until the end of the season, these five will become the strongest offensive five in NBA history!"

"none of them!"

With Kenny's passionate introduction, the game has continued!

The Trail Blazers' ball was once again given to Sabonis. The Pacers were playing one senior and four juniors at the moment. Only Webber, a guy who was not good at and didn't like to defend, was in the paint. After Sabonis got the ball, he was used to it. After observing for a moment, he quickly turned around and pushed away Webb, followed by another small shot that barely left the ground with both feet.

It’s still the old man’s way of playing, simple and effortless, no jumping at all!

It's strange to say that Sabonis is so old that he seems to be trembling when he walks, but when he turns around under the basket, he is still very fast!

Even the speed is a bit ridiculous!

He's almost another version of Barkley.

Barkley is fat and fast, while Sabonis is old and fast.

It's not common sense anyway.

But after this quick turn and score, Sabonis showed his old age again. He slowly turned around and started running towards his own half, but Weber had already reached the baseline with the basketball, quickly released the ball, and then Throwing off a pair of long legs, he quickly overtook Sabonis!

Of course, it was Lin Tian who took the ball forward. He flew all the way to the Trail Blazers' basket, jumped up to face Rashid, and then after the two collided, he quickly passed the ball behind his back in the air and passed the ball. Webber, who quickly followed up in the middle, assisted Webber with another two-handed chop and dunk!

The Trail Blazers were quickly attacked by the Pacers. Stoudemire also tried to imitate a blitz, but his finishing ability and vision were obviously not as good as Lin Tian's. He also rushed all the way to the basket. But he was surrounded by Lin Tian and Christie.

Taking off towards Christie, he found that he had no room to take action. Stoudemire wanted to imitate Lin Tian's passing, but his basketball skills had just been exposed, and he didn't even find the direction to pass the ball. The next moment...the basketball is gone!

Lin Tian had already snatched the basketball away from him, then turned around and launched another counterattack towards the frontcourt!

This time Lin Tian still rushed to the frontcourt quickly. Stoudemire, the only Trail Blazers player who could barely keep up with Lin Tian in terms of speed, was unable to pursue him because he was blocked by Christie. He fell far behind. to the back.

After Lin Tian reached the frontcourt, he hesitated to dribble outside the 3-point line, and then quickly took advantage of Smith's distraction to accelerate again to complete the breakthrough!

When he reached the inside, Sabonis, who had just turned around and returned to defense without even running past half court, was guarding the inside. He opened his arms, waiting for Lin Tian's challenge.

Lin Tian suddenly collected the ball with both hands and sent it to his left hand, making everyone think that he was going to give the ball to Carter who was coming from the left.

But who would have thought that Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and took the ball back in a leaping step. After passing everyone, he took off and raised the ball with one arm to hit the basket!

"boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tian dunked and added another 2 points to the team!

"Damn it! Lin, your fake moves are so realistic, you even dazzled me!" Carter rushed up and gave Lin Tian an excited high-five to celebrate this beautiful fake button.

"Then it's your fault Vince." Lin Tian said with a smile: "When have I ever used my hands to pass the ball with my chest? You should know when I take this position, no matter what I want to do, you will never be able to get me Basketball in hand!”

"Serious people, who passes the ball with both hands on their chest?"

As Lin Tian spoke, he quickly returned to defense. Sabonis came to the bottom line. A person of his age and mentality would not even get a headache if someone rode on his head and took a spiral shit, let alone being dunked twice. He is definitely the calmest on the Trail Blazers team right now!

When he came to the baseline, he originally wanted to serve quickly and continue to play fast, but as soon as the basketball was lifted, he changed his mind. He calculated and felt that even if he gave the ball to Stoudemire again, there would be a high chance that Let this guy suffer another defeat.

So Sabonis gave the ball to Smith nearby and yelled: "Don't worry! They just want to play fast with us! Let's press down and play one by one! As for the fast break, I will let everyone run if there is a chance." !”

Dunleavy nodded with satisfaction off the court. Everyone could see that if they really wanted to open up and start running, the Blazers would definitely not be a match for the Pacers.

Now that Sabonis can step up and stabilize the situation for the team, it actually saves him a timeout!

This is like having an old man in a family, it’s like having a treasure!

Smith slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his hand to direct the movement of his teammates, and then after observing it, he gave the ball to Pippen.

Pippen is facing off against Miller now, which is a huge advantage for the Trail Blazers!

Pippen didn't hesitate after getting the ball, turned around, and relied on his overall advantage of height, weight and strength to squeeze into the inside, and then made a high-throwing rebound shot against Weber, sending the basketball into the basket.

After being beaten again, even if Weber didn't like to defend, he was completely angry now!

He came to the low post, jammed Sabonis with his back, and then insisted on asking for the ball in singles!

After getting the ball, this guy quickly turned to face-to-face offense, then took the basketball with both hands and slammed it on the floor. Then he jumped over Sabonis with one jump and pushed the ball into the basket with one hand!

……

Throughout the second quarter of the game, both sides showed an almost terrifying competitive state and offensive touch. Both sides almost hit every shot, no matter how hard they fought!

Miller's 3-pointers, Carter's impact, and Christie's versatility, coupled with Lin Tian and Webber's extremely powerful attacks, the five Pacers have almost no weaknesses on the offensive end!

From the basket to beyond the three-point line, from singles to coordination, from passing and cutting, pick and roll to cutting without the ball, as long as it is related to offense, they played almost perfectly!

The Trail Blazers also showed terrifying strength. Relying on their starting five, they were able to withstand the Pacers who were in full swing again!

Rasheed's shooting, Sabonis' experience, Smith's height advantage and comprehensive offensive methods, and Pippen's versatility, even Stoudemire found opportunities to force a few baskets and pass the ball. Hit!

Throughout the first half, both sides showed the top offensive level in the NBA this season. These two teams deserve to be ranked first and fourth in the league respectively. Their strength is indeed strong!

69: 70!

At the end of the first half, the Trail Blazers were still only 1 point behind!

In the second quarter, the two sides even played an incredible 40:39!

"This offensive efficiency is simply the level of the All-Star Game! The offensive control ability of both sides is too strong! Both sides can do too much on the offensive end!" Kenny concluded after the first half: " Their offensive resources are so abundant!”

"Not bad!" Barkley affirmed: "The head coaches of both sides are not afraid that someone in their team will be inaccurate or in poor condition. If there is such a person, they can just replace him! Both sides have reserves of personnel on the offensive end. They are all very reorganized and even luxurious, and the coaches of both teams are really so happy!"

"No coach can refuse to coach such a perfect team! It really saves worry and effort, and is also pleasing to the eye!"

The two commentators were analyzing the first half of the game, while the players returned to their locker rooms to prepare for the second half.

In the first two quarters of the game, Lin Tian has scored 17 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Webber also scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. In addition, Carter also scored 10 points, Miller 8 points, Mullin 5 points, and Christie 5 points. The Pacers still continued their three top strengths with a number of powerful offensive players.

The Blazers' scoring was more scattered. The highest scorer was Rasheed with 14 points, followed by Pippen with 11 points, Smith with 10 points, Stoudemire and Sabonis with 9 points, and the substitutes There were also Wells who scored 8 points and Schrempf who scored 7 points!

With super scattered scoring points and full firepower, the Trail Blazers are likely to have 7-8 people score in double figures tonight!

During the halftime break, neither coach made too many arrangements, nor emphasized the defense that the two teams lack most today.

They know what they are here to do tonight, they know what day it is, and they also know what the league and the fans want to see tonight.

That is a hearty attack!

A refreshing duel and the ultimate battle of talents!

Going on defense at this time? Fans and the league will be unhappy! Including the players themselves, they will feel unhappy.

Even the two coaches, Bird and Dunleavy, felt that it was almost meaningless.

Anyway, it is a rare Christmas, so let the players open up and play!

The two of them also opened their eyes to see how many points their team could score!

Under the thinking of the two coaches, there was almost no difference between the third quarter and the second quarter. Both sides were still firing on all cylinders and attacking crazily.

If you score a 3-pointer, I will definitely respond with a quick counterattack and a fierce rush to the basket. If you do a flying dunk that will shock everyone, I will respond with an incomparable teamwork!

Are you Lin Tian and Stoudemire bullying him for being short?

Rasheed will immediately go to the low post to teach Webber, and then ask Webber who is the father with his beard and eyes wide open.

Here Carter is attacking forcefully and does not take the old and seriously injured Sabonis seriously. Over there, Sabonis will give you an IQ crushing. He is not a complete master by playing with his feet. He can easily put in 2 point!

开拓者队在这一节拿下了43分，3分球6投6中，罚球5罚全中，投篮命中率高达恐怖的67%！

As for the Pacers, their 3-pointers and free throws in this quarter were not 100%, but they were not all successful. Their shooting percentage was equally terrible!

他们轰下44分，3分球9投7中，罚球5罚4中，总体命中率高达65%！

The fans were mesmerized by the hearty and crazy offensive battle between the two sides. They only wished that the game only lasted 48 minutes instead of 60 minutes. No one would get tired of watching this exciting duel!

But it is a pity that such a wonderful duel has only the last quarter left to watch in the blink of an eye!

The fans at Indiana's home court even want to defect at this moment. They really hope to beat him in 3-5 overtimes in this game! That would be fun! That’s enough energy!

After a short two-minute break, the players from both sides quickly returned to the court again, and they are about to begin the final showdown in the fourth quarter tonight!

Bird was not in a hurry at all, even though the team was only leading by 2 points, the Blazers could catch up in one round.

But with the Pacers' offensive ability and tonight's state, let alone being tied in the end, even if they were pulled away by 10 points, Bird believed that his disciples could get the score back within two minutes!

Not to mention, Bird still has some tricks up his sleeve!

So at this stage, he once again boldly let Weber and Lin Tian rest off the court, and let Buckner, Miller, Carter, Big Ben and Davis play on the court.

This relatively normal lineup is obviously a three-man team on the outside for strong attack, and two blue-collar workers on the inside are responsible for defense and rebounding. It is no longer the ultimate offense, but with Miller and Carter here, the Pacers' offense will not be bad!

For the Trail Blazers, Dunleavy is not so ambitious. After all, they are challengers. For the Trail Blazers, defeating the Pacers is still on a stage like the Christmas game, which will increase the confidence of the players, but huge!

Therefore, in addition to letting Schrempf replace the older and weak Sabonis, and letting Wells, who performed well tonight, come up to target the thin Miller, the other three are all starting players!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trail Blazers' lineup was obviously more ferocious!

As Stoudemire took the ball and advanced toward the frontcourt, the fourth quarter officially began!

Score of both sides: 122:124!
