NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 309: Killing? Counterattack! Riley and Mourning's fierce conflict!
When Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again, the entire American Airlines Arena fans in Miami let out huge and uniform chants.

"Defense! Defense!! Defense!!!"

"Defense! Defense!! Defense!!!"

"Defense! Defense!! Defense!!!"

The Heat, the NBA's No. 2 defensive team in the regular season, will face the biggest test of the season in the next minutes for their defensive system and personal defensive capabilities!

Fans and players all know what these 2 minutes mean!
If they guard against it, they still have hope this season!

If they can't prevent it and are reversed by the Pacers, their efforts and expectations throughout the season will be basically in vain.

Their season can also be declared over in advance!

Despite the shouts of the audience, Lin Tian still looked calm and relaxed. Payton stepped on the 3-point line, opened his hands and lowered his center of gravity, shouting crazily: "Come on! Lin! Come on!" Try killing me again!"

Tonight, Lin Tian was the one who performed best in this crazy blacksmithing and defensive battle!

Mourning and Malone both committed 4 fouls, and Mashburn already had 5 fouls!
Although there are only 2 minutes left in the game, what if?
What if Lin Tian causes consecutive fouls? What if the game goes into overtime?
The number of fouls must not be increased any more!

really!

Tonight, Buford's playing time was reduced to 7 minutes, but he still made 2 of 0 shots and did not score.

Foul by Mashburn's thug! This is his sixth foul!
The strongest, toughest and most vicious guy on the Heat's perimeter was fucked!
"Well done Lin!" Carter, who had been bullied by Mashburn throughout the series and had not performed very well, was so excited that he was the first to come to Lin Tian and give him a high-five.

But a whole season of victory and invincibility gave them extremely strong confidence!
Being behind by only 2 points is nothing!

be cheated!
Was completely shaken away!

"Shh!"

Riley shouted from the sidelines: "This kid can't make a shot tonight! Let him shoot! Just don't let him rush in!"

When Payton saw Lin Tian coming up, he was extremely calm and gave the ball directly to Buford, who was unguarded next to him and had just come on!
After a sudden flash of light in the first game, Buford got 15 minutes of playing time in the second game, but failed to score 3 point on 0-for-1 shooting.

"I caught you Lin!" Payton yelled in surprise! He knew that Lin Tian would definitely fight for this! He will definitely prove that he can shoot the ball!
Lin Tian's self-confidence has always been so strong! This is the reason why Lin Tian can succeed, but now, Payton knows that this is his biggest opportunity to prevent Lin Tian from death!
Just wait to get hit!
This hat of mine bears the anger of me being beaten up time and time again by you, you bastard, starting from the 96 Finals, and I was even given the nickname "Leaky Glove"!

With a crisp sound, the basketball was released and rolled away from the three-point line.

"Shh!"

Payton didn't have time to feel uncomfortable, because before he even had time to look back, the referee's whistle sounded!

Queen Lin retreated!

Payton tried his best to stand in front of Lin Tian, ​​trying to interfere with his fast break.

Lin Tian, ​​who stood on the free throw line, was still very steady. After sending the ball into the basket, Lin Tian made a gesture. The rest of the Pacers quickly returned to their own half, while Lin Tian stayed in the frontcourt, facing the opponent. Payton came up with a full-court press defense!

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he suddenly dribbled the ball and accelerated towards the inside. But after listening to what Lin Tian just said, Payton had a slight thought in his heart. He did not follow Lin Tian back towards the inside at full speed, but kept his position at all times. own focus.

Lin Tian relied on Marshburn to force a mid-range shot, and at the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded very timely!

Off the court, Riley was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!

At this time, if you don’t give the ball to Mourning and don’t let him go to death to commit Webber, who has already committed 5 fouls, is there something wrong with your brain?
Just think about your scoring performance?

The moment he took off, Riley had already closed his eyes in pain, too lazy to look any further.

Even though Mashburn had committed five fouls, he still couldn't control his legs and jumped up regardless.

Trailing by 10 points, we were able to get back the score in 2 minutes!

But who is Lin Tian?
The number one fast break maniac and top finisher in the league today!

This rampaging guy has finally come to an end, so relieved!
"Less than 2 minutes left, 2 points behind! Guys, let's hold on!" After Lin Tian and Carter high-fived, they high-fived all the Pacers players on the court one after another to cheer them up!
The decisive moment has come!

“我宁愿30投0中，也不会10投0中！因为只出手10次的话，就意味着我认输了！”

Buford ran forward as fast as he could, trying to catch the basketball, but there was someone faster than him!
Lin Tian started moving in the direction of Buford almost as soon as Carter reached for the ball, and then accurately predicted the landing point of the basketball, just before Buford made a diving jump to hug the basketball. He hugged the basketball and launched another counterattack toward the front court!

Even though Payton was about to run away with his lungs out, he was completely unable to stop Lin Tian. In the end, Lin Tian ran him all the way to the basket and easily hit a layup!
76: 76!

"I will never give up!"

Buford now knows very well that these 2 minutes are his last chance of the season!
If he still doesn't perform well, then Riley will definitely abandon himself completely! At least this season, I won't be able to get playing time.

Although he only made 28 of 10 shots tonight, he even shot 3 of 7 from beyond the 0-point line! But knowing that his hand was not good, Lin Tian also changed his style of play in the second half, rushing inside like crazy to find free throw opportunities. He also relied on 12 free throws from the free throw line to score 32 points!
The highest in the audience!
"Give him space Gary! Give him space! No problem!"

Just after Lin Tian took two steps into the paint, this guy suddenly withdrew from the three-point line again, then bent his knees and raised his head, pretending to take a shot!

Buford only felt that Carter's defense was airtight. He quickly stopped and wanted to reorganize, but he just took a step back and before he could completely relax, Carter's hand was already on him. On the basketball in hand!
"Snapped!"

It's so embarrassing. In one round, the two idiots on my side were shaken up and down, and I couldn't even see them!

This is also the first time in this season's playoff journey that the Pacers are still at a disadvantage!

Lin Tian reached the three-point line in one step. Mashburn quickly moved sideways and stood in front of Lin Tian, ​​trying to block Lin Tian's offensive line, but Lin Tian quickly turned around and passed Mashburn. At the same time, he quickly collected the ball and raised it up, making another shooting fake!

If you want to show off, you have to take more chances!
And if you take too many shots, you will easily make mistakes!
For example, after Buford dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he found that the Pacers defender was Carter, who had the most average perimeter defense ability, so he didn't pass the ball or use any tactics. This guy dribbled the ball directly with his hips. , directly forced to change direction and accelerate, just want to have a strong attack by myself!
But Carter, who had been bullied by Mashburn for almost three games, was finally liberated. How could he let a newbie bully him? He moved quickly and stood in front of Buford, not giving him any chance to break through and blocking all of this guy's offensive routes.

It’s a tie!
Lin Tian scored 30 points in less than 5 seconds to tie the score!
"Give it to the inside man! Give the ball to the inside man!"

Eat me
Oh, let me wipe it. Where is the person?
Payton, who was full of confidence and leaped high, watched in disbelief as Lin Tian lowered his center of gravity again, flashed past him, and went directly to the inside.

The Pacers are in foul trouble tonight, and so are the Heat!

"I can't shoot? Do you think I can't shoot tonight?" Lin Tian glanced at Payton contemptuously, then looked up at the basket, and suddenly said: "Gary, you must not know my basketball philosophy!"

FUXX!

Off the court, Riley was so angry that he kept swearing. Fortunately, his swearing still had some effect. For example, the basketball finally hit Mourning's hands. He raised the basketball high in his hand and felt Webber's hand behind him. Defense, then after observing and finding that no one came to help defend, he immediately started dribbling and playing from behind!
Facing an opponent with 5 fouls, the experienced Mourning naturally chose a simple, direct and fierce style of play, directly crushing Webber with strength, pushing him to the basket and then forcing a shot!
"Boom!"

Mourning missed the ball when he made a strong move under the basket, but he had already judged the landing point of the basketball. He once again pressed Webber to take off and grabbed the rebound, and then got up a second time to make up the ball!

"Snapped!"

Weber was pressed by Mourning, hit with elbows and rebounded on the head, and a wave of blood rushed to his head. When Mourning made a tip-in, this guy failed to control his anger. The shot came out and hit Mourning on the arm!
"Dudu! The thug fouled! Mourning made 2 free throws!"

The referee gave their penalty again. After Ben left the court, the Pacers' other starting insider, Webber, also went off!
Even though there was only 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game, the Pacers' inside line was in serious trouble!
Bird stood off the court and first comforted Webb, who walked back to the bench dejectedly. Then after thinking quickly, he took Lewis!

The Pacers' current lineup has become Davis, Lewis, Christie, Carter and Lin Tian!
In the Heat's first game, Raider Buford failed to score a single point in two consecutive games. After gradually taking off his magical coat, it is now Lewis's turn to prove that he is a flash in the pan and can still maintain his output and firepower!

Mourning walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and then he steadily made 2 free throws! The tough guy withstood the pressure and let the team lead by 2 points again!
In the next 40 seconds, Lin Tian hit another mid-range shot, and Malone ran over Lewis and got inside to take a shot. Although the shot missed, he still caused a foul and made 2 free throws!
In the last 30 seconds, the Heat still led by 2 points!
This time, Bird didn't ask for help and called a timeout to arrange the team's tactics.

Well, it is more appropriate to say that it is a layout, so that the players can take a good rest and calm down.

Because the Pacers actually have one and only one tactic at this time.

Give the ball to Lin Tian!
The pause is over! Bird didn't make any more substitutions. He put on an offensive lineup with 30 shooters and 4 blue-collar player in the last 1 seconds!
As for the Heat, the Twin Towers still appeared together at this moment, plus Payton, Leonard and Patterson! As for Buford?

I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain trust in this series!

When the referee gave the sideline ball to Christie and asked him to start serving, all 9 players on the court immediately started running wildly!
Lin Tian ran from the top of the arc to the basket, from the basket to the wing, and then from the wing toward the top of the arc. He used three screens along the way, and then he was able to get rid of Payton's candy-like defense and successfully got the sideline ball. .

After getting the basketball, Lin Tian unexpectedly did not stop at all, nor did he say anything about stopping, waiting, steadying, and observing the situation on the court.

He just forced the acceleration and passed Payton cleanly in one step! Then he shot towards the basket!
Patterson quickly recovered and moved sideways, trying to block Lin Tian. At the same time, Mourning and Malone also gathered under the basket, not giving Lin Tian a chance to take an easy shot. In addition, the crazy pursuit behind him gave Lin Tian no chance at all. Days of rest and downtime opportunities for Payton.

As long as Lin Tian hesitates in this position, he will be immediately greeted by a double team of at least 3 people!

The Heat's defense against Lin Tian is definitely at its best!
But this kind of defense certainly has countless loopholes!

First of all, there are empty seats everywhere!
Lin Tian did not let the space released by the Heat go to waste. He directly found Lewis, who was released in the most exaggerated manner. There was not even a Heat player 5 meters in front of him!

"Whoosh!"

The basketball cut through the sky and flew directly in the direction of Lewis.

Lewis, who performed well in the first game but failed to score a single point in the second and third games so far, got the basketball without thinking about whether the shot was reasonable, whether it could be scored, or whether it was a goal. What happens if the ball doesn't go in?

He is a shooter!

If you are a Sagittarius, you will have the instinct and cold-blooded characteristics of a Sagittarius!
"Shh!"

Two seconds later, a heartbreaking sound came from Miami. Lewis hit a desperate 2-pointer! The Pacers lead by 3 point!
Although there were still 24 seconds left in the game and the Heat could still have a complete offensive opportunity, all the Heat fans sighed in despair at this time.

They were clearly leading by 1 points more than a minute ago.

Why are we lagging behind now?
The ups and downs of the golf course are too fast, which is completely unacceptable!

And just when the fans at the scene were complaining, feeling that the team was going to be bad, losing three games in a row, and on the verge of elimination, the timeout called by Riley was over!

The coaches of both sides did not change their lineups. The last 24 seconds of the game, which is also likely to be the last round of the game, officially started!
81: 80!

The Pacers did not interfere or defend the Heat's inbounds too much. After all, the Pacers' inside line is now completely suppressed by the Heat. They are worried that the Heat will take advantage of the situation and hit the inside because of too much defense. Score easily.

Therefore, the Pacers just stood up in their defensive formation and waited for the Heat's attack!

Payton grabbed the basketball and quickly started moving toward the wing. At the same time, the rest of the Heat team followed closely.

The Heat's formation quickly adjusted on the court, with Lin Tian, ​​Payton, Lewis, and Malone standing on one side, and six other people on the other side of the court!

At the last moment of the game, the most important round, Riley chose to believe in the players' personal abilities! Looking at this clear position of strong and weak sides, you can tell that Riley wants Malone to bully Lewis!
It was the Pacers' empty and weak inside line that was responsible for the attack!
After everyone finished moving, Payton quickly passed the ball to Malone. At the same time, he also began to move towards the far side. If Lin Tian dared to double-team, Malone could immediately pass the ball to Payton and assist him. Take a wide-open three-pointer!
What if Lin Tian didn't double-team?
Why can Lewis guard Malone?

If I don't beat you to death, it will be considered as Malone saving face for Lewis!

"Boom!"

Just when Riley was full of confidence and extremely proud of his tactic of attacking the opponent's weakest point, Malone's turn and layup was actually a direct hit!
The tenacious Lewis used his open arms and determination to fight to the death and jam Malone's elbow with his chest, successfully defeating Malone's layup!

But there’s only so much Lewis can do!
Although Malone missed the shot, he grasped the landing point of the rebound. He quickly turned around and stuck Lewis behind him, then held the rebound in his arms with both hands, and then took off again, wanting to direct the ball. Hit the basket!

"Snapped!"

But just as Ma Long jumped up, he saw in disbelief that there was an extra person in front of him!

Lin Tian!

In the end, Lin Tian chose to double-team and help defend. He chose an almost perfect time. When Malone had just grabbed the rebound and had no time to observe the court environment, Lin Tian let go of Payton and rushed into the paint.

He wants to hit Malone's sure hit ball!

With perfect calculation and a sudden sneak attack, Lin Tian successfully defeated Malone! The ball he threw flew away with a slap!

But the moment the fan flew out, Lin Tian realized something was wrong!
He shouldn't have fanned the ball in that direction!

There is another Heat player there!

Peyton!

Payton, who was left open, easily grabbed the basketball, and then he didn't rush towards the inside. Instead, he glanced at the basket and took off steadily!
"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound, and Payton hit a mid-range jumper!

In order to prevent Malone from attacking the basket, Lin Tian had no choice but to let Payton go. Now he can only watch Payton take open shots.

These are two cups of poison with fatal effects, and Lin Tian can only choose one cup among them.

There is no right or wrong in this choice, only luck!
81: 82!

There are only 2.9 seconds left in the game!
The Heat, after two consecutive shots were blocked, at a moment when the fans were almost desperate, they hit a quasi-win!

The team successfully overtook the score!
"Miami! Miami! Miami! Miami!" "Gary! Gary! Gary! Gary!"

After the ball hit, the entire American Airlines Arena fell into a carnival this time. They frantically shouted Payton's name and the name of the savior!

From heaven to hell and then to heaven, this is the charm of basketball! This is why the NBA makes fans crazy!

Payton was also extremely excited, beating his chest crazily, jumping up and bumping chests with his teammates one by one, celebrating this near-dead hit!
"Gary, you were too hasty." Different from the obvious frustration and helplessness of the rest of the Pacers, Lin Tian's expression was much more relaxed, as if the remaining game time was not 2.9 seconds, but 29 minutes!
He walked up to Payton who was celebrating crazily and said with ease: "You should have taken the shot 2 seconds later, then they would have killed the game cleanly! Completely ending our winning streak! But you didn't, you Once you get the ball, take action!”

"So you're done! You know who will end you next!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned and returned to the bench, where Bird was arranging the tactics for the final attack.

Mourning hugged Payton excitedly and said, "Gary, why are you so dazed?"

"I have a bad feeling." Payton smiled reluctantly and said, "Lin said he would kill us."

"Don't listen to his bragging! He can't do it! You have killed the game!" Mourning was stunned for a moment, then patted Payton on the shoulder.

But although he was comforting Payton, Mourning was not so relaxed in his heart.

Because subconsciously, he felt that Payton was right!
2.9 seconds seems to be too much!

"Doug, you serve the ball from the sideline. Don't rush to pass it. We still have 1 timeout, so if there is no good opportunity, you can call another one no problem! Don't make mistakes, let alone the five-second violation! This is our last Chance!"

"Reggie, Vince, you two also come on stage. I want you to run along this line. Your final landing point is at the two bottom corners on the left and right. Open up the space for me!"

"Sharad, you are in the area above the free throw line, set a screen for them, and set a screen for every teammate who passes you. Then if they don't get space, run to the top of the key and run out of the 3-point line to catch the ball!"

"Lin, you are our main attacker! Along this line, you rush to the basket first, then turn back and go up to catch the ball on the wing. If there is no chance, approach Sharad! Let's have a hand-to-hand with him !”

"As long as you can get the ball, the rest is up to you! 3 points, mid-range, breakthrough, or point ball! 2.9 seconds, we have plenty of time, I believe you 100%! Okay, everyone else, still Any questions?"

"there is none left!"

The entire Pacers team stood up and stretched out their hands to shout another slogan. Lin Tian, ​​Carter, Miller, Christie and Lewis walked onto the court!

The Heat took their starting lineup, looking for them one by one, and prepared to defend the success or failure of the entire season!
"Dudu!!"

The referee blew the whistle and handed the basketball to Christie. Miller and Carter immediately started running from the top of the arc. One of them clockwise and the other counterclockwise, they ran along the three-point line towards the two bottom corners, and then reached the bottom corner. After that, they set a screen for each other and then crossed over and ran towards the other bottom corner 3-pointer.

Lin Tian started a little slower than the two of them. He ran directly to the basket, but failed to get a chance to directly catch the ball and attack the basket. He could only choose to turn back and run towards the 45-degree angle on the left. .

At this time, the 5-second serving time was almost exhausted. Christie did not choose to call a timeout, but gave the ball to Lewis who was above the 3-point line.

The moment Lewis took the ball, Lin Tian had turned again and ran towards him!
The two people passed the ball hand-in-hand 3 meters away from the 2-point line. Lin Tian finally got rid of Payton's pursuit with the help of Lewis's screen, and then only took a shot of the ball before stopping. Rise up from the ground!

When Lin Tian took off, he wasn't even facing the basket! Instead, he was still facing the basket sideways, but Lin Tian jumped high enough! He completed a turn in the air, twisting himself to an angle facing the basket. Then he tensed up his whole body, flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew towards the basket like an arrow from the string!
"Buzz!!!"

Almost at the same time, the whistle sounded at the end of the game. Regardless of whether it can be completed or not, this goal is the last shot of the night!

After taking action, Lin Tian suddenly felt that time passed very slowly, and he felt that the whole world was quiet.

He noticed that countless Miami fans on the sidelines closed their eyes in despair, and also noticed that Payton tried his best to take off to block the shot, but because he took off too anxiously, his posture when landing was very unnatural, and he fell directly to the ground. on the floor.

But what Lin Tian can see more is that the trajectory of the basketball is very positive. He believes that this ball will definitely be scored!
So, after landing, Lin Tian didn't see if the basketball could go in. Instead, he opened his arms and raised them high. At the same time, he turned around to face the audience. Lin Tian even had time to wave his arms extra.

"Shh!"

After Lin Tian completed his extremely arrogant early celebration, the basketball finally fell into the basket!
Killer! 3 points to kill!

Lin Tian counterattacked with a decisive kill!

Completely killing the game without leaving even 0.1 seconds for the Heat, Lin Tian got it done!

The series score is 3:0!

The excited Pacers players did not give Lin Tian a chance to pretend to celebrate. Everyone ran towards Lin Tian like crazy from all directions!

Lewis, who was closest, was the first to hug Lin Tian, ​​followed by Miller, Carter, Christie, and then the entire Pacers team, all rushed over!

Lin Tian was pinned down in the middle by everyone, and the Pacers players celebrated and cheered crazily!

84: 82!

The Pacers won the third game of the series!
And 2 minutes ago, the Pacers were still 71 points behind 76:5!
But in the last 2 minutes, the Pacers launched a 13:6 offensive wave! Among them, Lin Tian scored 2 points, 10 assist and 1 block in the last 1 minutes! He almost single-handedly killed the Heat. He almost single-handedly drove the Heat into the abyss!

31投14中，罚球13罚全中，3分球8投1中，全场轰下42分12篮板7助攻5抢断2盖帽！

Lin Tian once again scored half of the team's points tonight! If you add in the points that his 7 assists brought to the team, he participated in more than 70% of the Pacers' scores tonight!

Terrible influence on the game!
Lin Tian is everywhere, Lin Tian is omnipotent!
After Lin Tian hit the 3-pointer, the entire Miami Airlines Arena fans were in despair. They put their heads in their hands and couldn't believe that their team would lose like this. Even many of the most die-hard Heat fans , and shed tears!
This feeling of being killed is really terrible!

This feeling of seeing a little hope in despair and then having that hope completely torn apart is so painful!

At this time, all Heat fans also know: they lost not only this game, but also this season!

With a 0:3 deficit, their season was over.

The rest of the game was just a formality battle for dignity.

在NBA历史上7战4胜制的系列赛中，一共有111次打成3：0，这111个系列赛中，其中82次都以横扫收场，21次打成了4：1，只有6次能打到4：2！

As for the team that can win 3 games in a row, it’s only 2 times in total!
As for winning 4 games in a row and directly counterattacking?
0!

In NBA history, no one can do this!

Heat fans naturally have a hard time believing that their team can complete a counterattack against the behemoth Pacers.

This is a monster that won 75 games in the regular season and is still winning in the playoffs!
Who can maintain such unrealistic confidence when facing them?

For the Heat, the bad news is obviously not just as simple as Lin Tian's winning shot.

Payton has been lying on the floor since Lin Tianzhong's decisive hit!

At first, people thought that Payton just didn't want to stand up because of the grief caused by the kill.

But when even Lin Tian discovered something was wrong with him, struggled out of the celebrating crowd, and waved to the Heat's bench, everyone realized: Payton was injured!

The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind!

Even worse!

Payton's injury has restrained the Pacers' celebrations a lot. Although many people in the Pacers have had conflicts with this villain, everyone still has a good relationship with him and they all admire him. This tough guy.

A few minutes later, several team doctors stood up with solemn expressions and shook their heads at Riley on the bench.

Obviously, things are not going well for Payton.

But as for how bad it is, the Pacers players don't know.

Because Payton was in a wheelchair and pushed off the court, the Heat players also left the court.

Naturally, the Pacers would not stay on the away court for too long. They quickly left the court, attended the press conference, and were ready to return to the hotel to have a good rest.

The cost of this hand-to-hand battle tonight is really quite high!
The players need to take a good rest to prepare for the fourth game of the next series!

Moreover, the Pacers players did not even need Bird's request tonight or the team to give them a curfew order. They spontaneously returned to their rooms with no intention of going out to play.

After all, the Pacers have won 10 consecutive victories in the playoffs!
They hope to win again! They hope to complete a sweep for the third straight series! They even hope to sweep their opponents in four consecutive series!
Since the team has already won 75 games in the regular season, setting a historical record, why not win a complete playoff game, set another unprecedented super record, and become the first team in NBA history to win a complete playoff game? What about the team?

In the regular season, we are the strongest!
In the playoffs, we are also No. 1!

This year's Pacers team's goal is not just to win the championship!
They want to win in all the distance comparisons between Jesus and Odin! They want to become the strongest team in NBA history! Not to say it is uncontroversial, but we must be the number one team recognized by most people!

The Pacers will not relax at this time!
The Pacers won't let up, but the Heat have a problem.

The day after the game, Riley continued the team's training as usual.

"Gary, take a good rest and recover as much as possible! We need you to play tomorrow night! We need you to restrain Lin!"

Payton, who was injured last night, is sitting on the floor with an ice pack on his leg, where he is recovering from his ankle.

After listening to Riley's words, Mourning frowned and said: "Coach, there is no need to let Gary play in the fourth game. Isn't he diagnosed with a grade 1 sprain? He needs to rest for at least 1-2 weeks! Only one interval Playing on one day will probably aggravate his injury!”

"Alonzo, this is the Eastern Conference finals! This is not the time for conservative treatment." Riley waved his hand, not taking Mourning's words to heart at all.

"Coach! But now we are 0:3 behind!" Mourning spread his hands in confusion and said: "As long as we win the third game, there is no problem for Gary to fight! But now we are 0:3! I don’t see any need for Gary to risk his career by playing!”

"He needs to rest! We can come back next year!" Mourning spread his hands and said: "But if you let him play for a slim possibility and then ruin his career, I don't agree with it! I don't agree with it either."

"I am the head coach and the president of this team." Although Riley is much lower than Mourning, he is holding his head high at the moment, and his momentum is not inferior to Mourning: "You just need to be obedient. , you don’t have to worry about other things at all!”

"I am the leader of this team! Guys are here because they believe in me!" Mourning said reluctantly: "I have to be responsible for them. If I say no, it just can't be done!"

"Alonzo, I'm fine. I can wait until tomorrow night to check." Payton stood up, limped to Mourning's side, pulled him and said: "It's just a first-degree sprain. I've experienced it before. Countless times!”

"I know exactly how my own body looks like!"

"Alonzo, in short, shut up! At this time of the season, the team does not need a second voice, and no one needs to question my decision! Here, I have the final say, do you understand?" Lee ignored the step given by Payton and continued to look at Mourning fiercely: "You can either get out or be obedient. There is no third way."

"So, you don't treat us as players at all, but as chess pieces, right? We are no different from the Lakers and Knicks. We are just tools for you to achieve your own goals and complete your personal value, right?"

Mourning was completely angry at this moment. He didn't understand why Riley had to let Payton play injured in a game where there was no suspense.

"I told you to shut up! I told you to obey!" Riley glared at Mourning, shook off Mashburn's hand next to him and grabbed his hand, and refused to give in. "Whoever I ask will go!" Whoever is told to take a break must take a break! As for the rest? Huh, Alonzo, you’re just a player, you’d better learn to shut up!”

"Also, Alonzo, let me tell you! If you are my tool, you can reach the Eastern Conference finals year after year! Be yourself? You are a loser and a wretch who will always be suppressed by the four major centers! You just need to Be obedient and I will give you countless honors and money!"

"So, shut up! Shut up right now!"

"I can't shut up, and I can't learn to be silent!" Mourning took a step forward, his forehead almost colliding with Riley's, and said fiercely: "Anyway, if you, a damn bastard, let me If you play in this kind of game, I will never finish with you!”

"What did you call me?" Riley's eyes widened and he looked at Mourning and said, "Also, are you going to hit me? Huh? Are you going to beat me like that madman Sprewell? Huh?" "

"Gary, let's go, go home and rest!" Mourning ignored Riley and turned around to leave. He was really angry at this moment. If he stayed for a while, he was afraid that he would actually do something: "Compared to watching the guys train here, lying on the sofa at home and watching TV is what you should do now. Let's go! I'll take you home."

Payton nodded and said no more. He knew that at this time, all he needed to do was stand on the same front as Mourning!
Mourning supported Payton and walked to the locker room, while the rest of the people on the scene looked at me and I looked at you, not knowing what to do.

As for Riley, this guy looked at Mourning's disappearing back angrily. He was already furious!
If he was given a gun now, he would probably take it out immediately and shoot Mourning in the head to relieve his anger!
"Train me well. No one is allowed to tell anyone about what just happened! If I know that someone is talking nonsense outside, I guarantee that you will not be able to survive in this league!" Riley scolded the people around him angrily. He said something, then handed the team to the assistant coach, and left quickly.

At this moment, Riley recalled in his mind the scene where the Lakers stars, led by Magic, put pressure on Buss, asking Buss to kick him out and drive him out of Los Angeles.

Riley thought about a few years ago in New York, when Ewing and others openly refused to become the team president and jointly opposed him to continue to be the team's head coach.

He was kicked out of New York again.

Now, Mourning had a conflict with himself again!

This time, Riley decided to strike first!
Riley was already suffering from a bit of PTSD from the players revolting and kicking him out.

He would not give Mourning a chance to attack, and he didn't care what Mourning was thinking at the moment, whether it was impulsive or if he really didn't want to cooperate with him.

None of that matters!
The important thing is that people cannot fall into the same pit twice! Riley had already fallen down twice. He felt that he was stupid enough and he didn't need to fall down a third time!
Get rid of Mourning! reconstruction!
The idea slowly took shape in Riley's head.

Anyway, it is impossible for this team to defeat Lin Tian's Pacers. Even if they surpass the Pacers, the Lakers opposite are still behemoths!

Let Riley lose to Los Angeles and the Lakers, who hate each other so much? Riley would rather fall in the Eastern Conference Finals!

Especially considering the age and injury history of the three giants in the team, the team's condition will only get worse year by year!

Rather than losing to the Pacers year after year, it is better to trade in advance, tear down and rebuild while Mourning still has trade value and Payton is still at the tail end of his peak!
As for Malone, who originally signed a one-year contract,
Find a way to let him run away and find another job, so that the team can be rebuilt in a legitimate manner!
Just this summer! No later than next year’s trade deadline!
You must take action in advance!

Then, wait for the Lakers and Pacers to pass, and then hit the championship!
