NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 344 The Worst Pacers! An unprecedented embarrassing situation!

Regardless of whether the Pacers' move to target Garnett with Harrington's deadlock was Carlisle's Minnesota special, but in short tonight, when Garnett faced Harrington, he really played No dominance whatsoever!
He was completely restricted by Harrington on the offensive end!

Throughout the first quarter, Garnett not only made three turnovers, but also made only 3 of 4 shots. When the team leader performed so poorly on the offensive end, it was naturally difficult for the Timberwolves to perform well on the offensive end. , they only scored 1 points in the entire first quarter!
Of these 19 points, more than half were the personal offensive scores of Sprewell and Brandon. The team sent a total of 3 assists in the first quarter! The entire offensive system of the Timberwolves completely collapsed because Garnett was choked by Harrington!
They can only rely on their personal abilities to score points piecemeal!
For the Timberwolves, the worst problem is not even that Garnett did nothing on the offensive end, but that he also did nothing on the defensive end!

After being beaten by the Pacers on several quick counterattacks at the beginning, the Timberwolves began to pay attention to retreating, focusing on compressing the Pacers' advancement space, and fighting for offensive rebounds so that they could not push so easily.

But when the Pacers finally fell into a positional battle as the Timberwolves wished, the Timberwolves discovered that the 'Minnesota Customized Package' prepared by Carlisle for them had just begun!
In view of the weaknesses of the Timberwolves' big center Nesterovich's slow movement speed, slow reaction and inflexibility, the Pacers' center Miller did not go to the area below the free throw line at all. He just kept doing various things with his teammates in the high position. A kind of cover coordination and hand-to-hand coordination!
If Nesterovich doesn't come up and squats in the paint, Miller and Lin Tian will pass the ball hand-to-hand and then jump directly, beating the Timberwolves to the ground!
Then Nesterovich finally gave up and chose to defend the Pacers' shooter. But at this time, Carlisle brought on Best, a very impactful substitute guard, and started a double PG tactic with Lin Tian. .

you come up?
These two little guards, each faster than the other, immediately broke through the Timberwolves' inside line!
At this time, Garnett had no choice. He could only quickly recover and defend the Pacers' small guard's attack, but in this way, Harrington was missed!

This kite-shaped No. 3 who loves to shoot 4-pointers has a shooting ability that is completely inconsistent with his lower plate strength. In the first quarter, he seized the opportunity and hit 2 consecutive 3-pointers!
As a result, the Timberwolves didn't even dare to let Garnett recycle it.

Head coach Saunders could only make a quick change, take Nesterovich, and replace him with the faster and more flexible Rafonso Ellis!

But as soon as he saw the Timberwolves take Ellis, who was only a little over 2 meters tall, Carlisle immediately shouted towards the court, so Brad Miller, who just seemed to have a mysophobia and refused to enter the paint, immediately transformed into a monster in the paint. He plunged into the inside line and couldn't come out!
Compared to Ellis, Miller has a height advantage of more than 10 centimeters and a weight advantage of almost 10 kilograms! After the two parties combined, this guy immediately turned into a monster under the basket, hitting the low post twice in a row to score points.

In desperation, Garnett could only once again rush inside to help defend under Sanders' instructions.

But none of them expected that this little-known guy, who was ignored in the draft three years ago and was immediately lost, could actually pass the ball!
In other words, Miller's signature skill is passing! Although not as gorgeous and coquettish as Weber, his vision and passing starts are absolutely top-notch!
Garnett helped defend the paint several times, but Miller found an open teammate and passed the ball out!
In the last attack of the first quarter, Miller made a one-handed pass from behind in the low post, passed the ball to Lin Tian who was following up in the middle, and assisted him to complete a beautiful folding dunk in the air!

After Lin Tian's air cut and dunk, the Pacers scored a terrifying 41 points in this quarter!
Without three main players, he scored 70 points in a single quarter with a shooting rate of more than 41%! All the players on the team performed well, and almost every attack was able to hit the most comfortable and suitable point, creating absolute opportunities to shoot!

In this quarter, the Pacers sent out an exaggerated 11 assists! Moreover, Lin Tian, ​​the two Millers and Best each sent at least 2 assists!
Absolute balance! Absolute team basketball!
"I really didn't expect that the Pacers could perform such a brilliant performance when most of the team's starting lineup was injured!" Barkley couldn't help but said: "No, I should say I didn't expect the Pacers. The team can perform such a wonderful performance in this way!”

"It stands to reason that at this time, the boss of the team should be the one to shoulder everything, charging wildly regardless of himself, using offense after offense and personal scoring to support the team's record and lead the team forward, but the Pacers chose a The most reasonable, unexpected and unpredictable way!"

"Team basketball, passing and cutting, running without the ball, and selfless sharing!"

"While the team's main players and stars were sitting off the court to rest, Lin Tian led the team to play the most exciting, gorgeous and beautiful team basketball in the league!"

Kenny followed up and said: "Not bad! And it's not the boring and boring positional battles and the endless and unappreciative competitions of passing balls and patience."

"The team basketball played by Lin and his team is no less gorgeous than when the Pacers have all the main players! They are really so surprising and so admirable! Here, I want to give Coach Carlisle the highest praise. Praise!”

"I think before the start of the season, there will definitely be many people who will question Coach Carlisle's resume and experience, thinking that he will not be worthy of such a championship-level team! But now, I think all speculations and doubts can be dispelled. !”

"Larry Bird once again picked the right person. He made the team transition perfectly and he found a perfect successor!"

With the encouragement and heartfelt appreciation of Barkley and Kenny, the Pacers did not let the suspense of this game return. Although their touch dropped significantly afterwards and was no longer as terrifying as the first quarter, the Timberwolves also There's really no good way to chase points.

They were completely stunned by the Pacers!
The score difference between the two sides has been hovering around 20 points!

The fans had high hopes before this game, and they thought it would be a thrilling, earth-fire, thunder-and-thunder game. The suspense was lost from the first quarter. The Timberwolves were never able to chase points. Although the Pacers did not play the first quarter again Such a touch, but the score difference has always been maintained.

101: 83!

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves by 18 points and successfully won again!
After successfully defeating the Timberwolves, the Pacers' new starting lineup is getting better and has found confidence. They won another consecutive game in the next few games.

After killing 4 more opponents in a row, their winning streak once again reached 5 consecutive victories!

The Pacers' record at this time is temporarily fixed at 21 wins and 6 losses! They are firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference, followed closely by the 19-8 Magic team.

And when the season enters this stage, it also means that December is coming to an end.

Christmas war!

The game day that fans most anticipated and wanted to watch during the regular season has finally arrived!

On Christmas night, as usual, the league will arrange several peak matchups that fans are most looking forward to, and at the same time are the most exciting and the most exciting ones that make people want to turn on the TV!
This year, the league has prepared a total of three games.

Magic VS Spurs!

This is the first time Duncan, known as the traitor to the Holy City, has come to San Antonio after his transfer. Here he has to face his former big brother Robinson and mentor Popovich! At the same time, the Magic, who have formed a dream lineup this summer, will also face the challenge of the top teams in the Western Conference. They will show their quality in this game!
76ers VS Bucks!

This game is a clash of emerging forces in the league. The 76ers, who are third in the Eastern Conference, face the Bucks, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Iverson VS the Three Musketeers!
This game is a competition between individual and team firepower. As of Christmas, Iverson averaged 32 points per game, ranking first in the league!

The Bucks' three Musketeers combined averaged 62 points per game, making them the second-highest scoring trio in the league!
Will the three musketeers kill the Philadelphia tycoons commanded by Iverson, or will Iverson, the lone hero, break into the deer's den alone and win the crucial battle?
And the most important and eye-catching finale battle.

Lakers VS Pacers!
These opponents in last year's finals, and the two most popular teams in the league today, met for the first time since the finals on Christmas Day!
The only difference is that all members of the Lakers are now healthy and online. O'Neal, whom the team bought at a low price from the Trail Blazers last year, has completed his transformation this season and has firmly established himself as the team's starting power forward!

Not only that, O'Neal Jr. averaged 14 points and 9 rebounds per game this season! It has surpassed Rice, who averaged 12 points per game, and became the team's third leading scorer!
而球队老大奥尼尔场均轰下28分13篮板,同样在今年迎来蜕变,状态越来越好的科比则是场均27分5篮板5助攻,职业生涯第一次打出25+5+5级别的顶级摇摆人数据!

The trio of Kobe and O'Neal have also become the trio with the highest scoring average per game in the league today!
In fact, Carter, Webber and Lin Tian of the Pacers were originally able to compete with these three guys, but unfortunately, Carter and Webber played too few games and did not make it into the technical statistics list!

If they want to compete with the Lakers in this ranking, they have to wait until Webber and Carter return to the court!

This much-anticipated Christmas game also lost a lot of highlights and things worth looking forward to due to the lack of personnel on the Pacers team!
It was originally the top showdown in the alliance, but it turned out to be a battle between three heroes and Lu Bu!

And when the game started, everyone finally discovered: Whether it is Brad Miller or Harrington, these two can play brilliantly when facing other opponents, and they have repeatedly contributed. A guy with excellent performance can somewhat fail to keep up with the intensity of the game when facing a truly top team!

这一场比赛,布拉德·米勒7投仅2中,只拿下8分6篮板2助攻的数据就被奥尼尔打到6犯离场,哈灵顿则是12投只有3中,只拿到了9分3篮板2助攻,被对面同样是今年开始崛起的小奥尼尔给打爆了。

As for Christie on the outside facing Kobe, who has now grown into a truly top star, it is also difficult to resist. Especially since there is no help from Ben on the inside, Christie has become the only barrier to defend Kobe. He spent all his energy on the defensive end. Even though he tried his best, he couldn't suppress Kobe's firepower!
In this game, only Lin Tian and Reggie performed well in the Pacers team. Lin Tian scored a near-triple-double with 41 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, while Reggie hit 7 three-pointers and scored 31 points. Rebounds and 3 assists!

Relying on the performance of these two people, the Pacers also forced the game to the last minute!

But it is a pity that only these two people in the team scored in double figures. The rest of the team was really out of shape tonight!
In the last minute of the game, Fisher bit Miller to death and chased him all over the court regardless. Kobe and Rice double-teamed Lin Tian, ​​and the basket was ready to go. O'Neal and O'Neal, who were preparing to help defend, and the other three people, were all released by the Lakers!

This targeted defense and 5-defense-2 defensive strategy put the Pacers' offense into huge difficulties!
In the last minute of the game, the Pacers attacked the Lakers' defense three times, but Miller failed to find space to catch the ball. Lin Tian missed two shots, and Harrington's wide-open shot opportunity was also missed. Declare a strike.

On the contrary, the Lakers relied on O'Neal to crush the inside and Kobe's mid-range jumper to score 4 points in a row and kill the game!

In the last minute, the Pacers failed to score a single point and were beaten to a climax by the Lakers. In the end, the Pacers lost this crucial Christmas game with a score of 1:1, a margin of 101 points!
The Lakers were very excited after winning this key victory. The players celebrated and cheered crazily as if they had won the Finals. At the same time, the entire Staples Center also celebrated like it was the Chinese New Year!
They got it!
I have been holding it in for half a year, carrying the regret and aggrievedness of being beaten by the Pacers for half a year!
Los Angeles people are finally proud!

Although the Pacers are a remnant team, and although the Lakers faced the remnant Pacers and fought until the last minute to win, a win is a win!
The Lakers are just happy!
Regarding the Lakers' excitement, when Lin Tian faced the media after the game, he simply said: "We'll see."

Then, Lin Tian left Staples and left Los Angeles.

Not to mention how bad his mood was tonight, after all, the team was in a remnant state, and the loss to the Lakers was expected.

But it is definitely not wonderful. After all, who can look at the technical statistics after losing and say: "We lost tonight, but I scored 40+10, and my plus-minus value is + 7.

How strong a person must be to say such a thing?
Anyway, although Lin Tian thinks he is thick-skinned, he really can't do this.

For the Pacers, the nightmare has just begun!
As if they had lost their confidence by the Lakers, Brad Miller, Al Harrington, even Christie and Best on the bench, these guys were in great shape in the remaining two games in December. Nothing, their performance has plummeted from before Christmas.

Even Reggie Miller seemed to have exhausted his energy in the game against the Lakers. In the next two consecutive games, his 3-point shooting percentage dropped to 26%, with a total of only 15 of 4 shots. Just as bad!

Under such poor performance by all members, the Pacers also lost again in a row at the end of December, losing to the Dallas Mavericks and the Sacramento Kings, two offensive teams with full offensive firepower.

3 consecutive losses!

步行者队遭遇了林天加入球队以来的第一次3连败!自从97-98赛季以来,他们在3个多赛季的时间里一直保持着顶级强队的水平,从未遭遇过3连败的窘境!
And this time, they ushered in a losing streak due to constant injuries and declining team bench strength!
After this wave of three consecutive losses, their record has dropped to 3 wins and 21 losses, surpassed by the Magic behind them, and fell to second place in the Eastern Conference.

In addition, in the West, there are two teams, the Lakers with 24 wins and 5 losses and the Mavericks with 22 wins and 8 losses, ranked in front of the Pacers.

When more than a third of the season is underway, the Pacers can only rank fourth in the league!

At the same time, they were only ranked fifth in the latest strength list announced by the league. According to the odds given by Las Vegas, they also fell to sixth, and were even surpassed by the Milwaukee Bucks. !
In addition, in the MVP rankings, even though Lin Tian is still averaging 26 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals per game, he has fallen to fifth place!

不如场均28分13篮板的奥尼尔,不如场均32分5助攻的艾弗森和22分12篮板的邓肯!
Even Garnett of the Timberwolves rushed to fourth, surpassing Lin Tian!
Since Lin Tian joined the Pacers, he has never fallen out of the top three on the mvp list!
It can be said that whether it is the Pacers or Lin Tian personally, they have reached the most difficult and worst moment in the four seasons since Lin Tian joined the team!
Perhaps at this time, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Pacers' injury wave came very early. They encountered this at the beginning of the season, not during the season or at the end of the season!

If such a series of injuries occurs at that time, it will really affect the team's championship!

Now, everything is possible!
But Lin Tian couldn't bear it anymore!
Faced with the team's continuous losing streak and the terrible situation of switching back and forth between victory and defeat, Lin Tian knew that he had to do something!

On January 1, the Pacers, who returned to Indiana, will sit at home. In their first game in 1, they will face the emerging power in the West, the Kings who came from Sacramento!

双方在3天之前的那场对战之中,国王队的三剑客杰森·威廉姆斯、迪瓦茨和佩贾·斯托贾科维奇是纷纷开了大招,威廉姆斯17分13次助攻,迪瓦茨18分13篮板5助攻,佩贾则是轰进8个3分拿下33分!
With the three of them breaking out at the same time, the Kings also successfully defeated the Pacers and achieved a victory that made the entire Sacramento cheer!

Then, in less than 96 hours, the Kings came to Indiana. They were bound to win, and they still wanted to win! They want to achieve the feat of sweeping the Pacers this season!
In the past four years, no team in the league has been able to sweep the Pacers in the regular season!
Now, the Kings’ chance has arrived!
From head coach Adelman to core players Peja and Williams, to the role players, everyone on the team is full of fighting spirit. They must win the Pacers and become the first team in four years to sweep the Pacers in the regular season. Team!

Because of Lin Tian's appearance, the Kings, who were almost bald, were a blessing in disguise. Although they lost Weber and Christie, the two absolute cores of the team, it was a blessing in disguise.

But Williams got better training and more opportunities. This guy averaged 16 points and 9 assists per game this season. Although he still cannot solve the shortcomings of his low shooting rate, he has already improved a bit in the league. Shadow of a first-line defender.

Peja, a tall shooter from Yugoslavia, also became the team's leader early because of Weber's absence. He averaged 24 points per game this season and hit more than 42 2-pointers per game with a 3% shooting rate! He has become the representative of the new generation of top turrets in the league!

In addition to his versatility, Divac, who can score 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game, has received a lot of opportunities in his rookie season, showing his excellent talent and all-round skills, averaging 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Hedo Turkoglu and bench killer Bobby Jackson.

The Kings' goal this year is no longer just to enter the playoffs!
They have bigger dreams and plans!
Before the game started, Verrati Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Williams, Fred Hoiberg's top five starters walked onto the court side by side!
"Long time no see Fred, have you been doing well lately?" Lin Tian's expression was still very relaxed, and he reached out to say hello to Hoiberg, a former Pacers player and the backup shooting guard when the team won the championship in 98.

Hoiberg obviously didn't expect that Lin Tian could still remember that he was such a complete second-hand player. He reached out and touched Lin Tian with some surprise and said: "Not bad! I have been in the starting lineup this year!"

"Lin, I will definitely beat you up tonight!" Williams, Lin Tian's number one fan next to him, saw Lin Tian didn't greet him first, and came over looking a little jealous, and opened his mouth to provoke.

"You can hit more than 30% tonight and score more than 10 points. Even if you beat me, the standard is low enough, right?" Lin Tian chewed gum and said: "If you can't even do this, I won't be able to do it in the future." Say the word "explode" in front of me!

"We'll see!" Williams felt Lin Tian's contempt and was immediately eager to try. Even his breathing became a little heavier, and he couldn't wait for the game to start! He also knew very well that he was not as good as Lin Tian and was not Lin Tian's opponent.

Can it be 10 points? 30% hit rate?

Who are you looking down on?
Just do it! Of the Pacers' starting five, only Lin Tian and Christie are regular starters, and the remaining three are still the two Millers and Harrington.

As the referee blew the whistle in the center circle, Miller easily won the first wave of possessions for the team in the face of seniors who were older, slower and slower than him.

Lin Tian hugged the basketball and once again moved it to the frontcourt in a leisurely manner. Facing Williams' eager and excited defensive posture, Lin Tian chewed gum and said easily: "Looking at you, you are ready to be beaten." Am I ready to explode?"

"Come on, Lin, let me see you."

Just when Williams was halfway through his words, Lin Tian repeated his old trick and accelerated directly past Williams. Lin Tian was so fast that Williams didn't even have time to curse. It had already disappeared from him!

And by the time Williams completed his turn and wanted to continue to defend Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian had even completed his shot!

Lin Tian's shot passed Williams, stopped two steps inside the 3-point line, pulled up, and shot a mid-range jumper!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian completed a jump shot with lightning and flint!
"Jason, where are you? Are you lost?" After the goal, Lin Tian was still chewing gum and retreating easily, with a calm expression on his face.

"Oh! Lin is here again! His first step is so fast! If it's just about speed, I think Lin is definitely the number one player in the league today!" After seeing Lin Tian's goal, Kenny couldn't help but Immediately opened his mouth to praise.

"Is it just about speed? Why do I think Lin is the number one in the league in many aspects?" Barkley said from the side: "In other words, Lin is obviously the number one in the league today!"

"He is No. 1 in the league, but there are too many things! For example, defense! Look, Lin is guarding Williams closely and does not give Williams any space. Is Williams going to make a mistake? His dribbling is very staggering! Lin takes a shot It’s a steal! Lin’s a steal!”

"Snapped!"

On the court, Lin Tian was closely guarding Williams from outside the 3-point line, and it was difficult for him to break even one step inside. With a strong base, Williams really had no room to develop and break through. Just when he was staggering and wanted to find his teammates and pass the ball out, Lin Tian took action!
He cut off the ball Williams was dribbling, then turned towards the frontcourt and launched a counterattack. Under Lin Tian's electric speed, the Kings players had no time to catch up and could only watch Lin Tian rush to the basket. Down!
Then Lin Tian easily took off from the side of the basket, holding the basketball in one hand and drawing a beautiful arc in front of him. Then when Lin Tian was gliding all the way to be parallel to the basket, his right hand holding the ball suddenly waved horizontally. came out and hit the ball hard into the basket!

"boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tian scored 2 points again for the Pacers!
"Oh!" Barkley shouted excitedly: "Here it comes! Lin's shot is very similar to the shot in the Michael Slam Dunk Contest that year! One-handed giant loop! Lin's completion of this shot is even higher! "

"I think the take-off height, gliding distance, and stretch of the one-handed windmill are all better than Michael's back then! Kenny, what do you think?"

"I think this shot is perfect! I see the shadow and charm of Michael in Lin! If Lin was a few centimeters taller, this shot would be exactly the same as Michael's!" Kenny should be careful with his speech. There are too many.

After all, Barkley and Jordan are good buddies, and he can say whatever he thinks without any inhibitions.

But Kenny doesn't have this kind of relationship. When he speaks, he has to think carefully and be careful.

As for Lin Tian on the court, if he heard what these two people said, he would definitely say: Like? That’s right! And it’s not just like, it’s not too much for you to just say ‘yes’!
After the team lost three games in a row, Lin Tian could no longer bear the situation where the team continued to be so poor and unable to win all the time, so he threw away the last experience card in his hand!

"87-88 season Michael Jordan experience card (single month)!"

In that season, Jordan averaged 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals per game. That season, Jordan won the MVP for the first time in his career, led the team to 50 wins for the first time, and was the first and only time. Winning Defensive Player of the Year once!
This season, Jordan achieved a personal Grand Slam for the first time! He won every honor except the championship!
Although Jordan this season is not as terrifying as the 37 points per game he averaged the year before, his 35 points per game average is also the second highest in Jordan's career!
At this time, Jordan had endless energy and could truly play a full-attack, full-defense game. This was the most exaggerated and thorough year in which his personal abilities were released!
This year's Bulls lineup, in addition to Jordan, there is also a pure blue-collar, young version of Charles Oakley, as well as the rookie version of Pippen who has just joined the team and 'Cobra' Grant who has not yet put on glasses.

Other than that, no player has ever been selected to the All-Star Game, and no player has left anything noteworthy in the league.

This Bulls team is quite similar to this year's 76ers team. They are both a pure one-man team and a team that only belongs to one person!
But it was such a one-man team that was brought to the second round of the playoffs by Jordan and won 50 wins!
Also starting from this season, Jordan officially began to become the league's top superstar!
And this year's Jordan may not have the skillful and indiscriminate post-up ability that he had in his later peak. His ability to read the game and share the ball is also not as good as in his peak.

But his mid-range shooting, finishing ability when breaking through, and ability to take shots and score at any time have definitely reached a historical level!
Lin Tian is in such a state now!

Endless energy, strong fighting spirit, the skills and shooting range to pull up and send the ball into the basket anytime and anywhere within the 3-point line, coupled with the terrifying impact and finishing ability!

While getting these abilities from Jordan, Lin Tian also has a 3-point shot and perfect vision, and his passing skills are also at the top level in the league! In addition, he is probably even heavier and faster than Jordan at the time.
To put it simply, Lin Tian now, or in the next month, is definitely better than Jordan back then!

In the next month, it will be Lin Tian + Jordan!

In the history of the NBA, the two backcourts with the strongest offensive power and the most terrifying defensive abilities have become one!
Williams?

Not to mention Jason Williams, even if the peak Jordan comes by himself, don't even think about getting benefits from Lin Tian's hands now!

If you look at it this way, Lin Tian's trash talk just now when he said Williams could only score 30 points with a 10% shooting rate is not considered trash talk.

This definitely gives Williams a thumbs up!
With Williams' ability, the standard has to be lowered to 8 points and a 20% shooting rate!

Under Lin Tian's targeted defense, Williams made 5 turnovers in the first 3 minutes of the first quarter! Among them, there was another one-on-one steal by Lin Tian in the backcourt, and then Lin Tian directly completed a layup!

In addition to 3 turnovers, Williams only made 2 of 0 shots from the field and did not score 1 point. At the same time, he did not provide 1 assist. As a point guard, Williams really made a mistake in the first five minutes of the first quarter. The beating was so bad!

Lin Tian, ​​who was facing him, had been killing everyone in the past five minutes. Not only did he score 3 steals, but he also scored all the points for the Pacers!

他五分钟内8投7中,3分球1投1中,连续轰下了15分!
One person hit a 15:4 offensive climax!
"Lin's fangs are completely exposed!" Barkley couldn't help but said after the Kings applied for the first timeout: "This is a leader! This is what the best player in the league should do! When the team suffers injuries , This is how it should be when the team suffers a losing streak!”

"Whatever tactics, reasonableness, and sharing the ball, get out of here! Give me the ball, and I will take you home! This is what a top leader should do when the team encounters difficulties!"

"And Lin, I guess, Lin's madness is definitely not just for these five minutes, and it is definitely not just for this game! Before the Pacers' injured returned to the team, before the Pacers got back on track, Lin's firepower was all Won’t hold back!”

"A tip from Sir Charles to all fans: Don't miss even one Pacers game for at least the next month! Otherwise you will definitely regret it!"

While Barkley was speaking, the game paused and players from both sides took to the court again.

Jason Williams was temporarily benched by Adelman because of his poor performance just now, and his replacement was the team's sixth man Bobby Jackson.

Jackson is more appropriately called a shooting guard than a point guard. His playing style is that of a pure assaulter!
The responsibility of the Kings to organize the offense is also directly handed over to Turkoglu, the organizing forward. Although Turkoglu is still a rookie this year, his various skills and abilities are far from reaching their peak.

But his talents in vision, organization and passing have been revealed. At least when facing defenders like Harrington, he can organize the team's offense with ease.

In the first round after the Kings came back from the timeout, they played the Princeton tactics carefully crafted for them by Coach Adelman!

Divac and Turkoglu screened from the high post, and then Turkoglu passed the ball to Divac, and then Jackson quickly rushed up and played a hand-to-hand pass with Divac. After getting the ball, Jackson Continue to attack the inside.

In the middle of his run, he suddenly passed the ball horizontally and gave the ball to Hoiberg on the wing. After taking the ball, Hoiberg took the ball and knocked it inside.

Peja, who cut to the mid-range, just caught the ball, and then directly pulled it up. With his power forward-level height and shooting guard-like touch, he just made a sudden jump shot. Christie really had no choice.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Kings finally broke their scoring drought.

"Doug, switch defense! I'll defend Peja." Lin Tian said directly after Peja scored: "You go deal with Bobby."

A leader must directly defend the strongest opponent! Defend the opponent's best scorer!

Anyway, without Williams, Bobby Jackson is the pure attack point. If he leaves him to Christie, Lin Tian can rest assured!
After coming to the frontcourt again, facing Jackson, who was much shorter than Williams, Lin Tian did not make too many moves. After dribbling with two hips, he directly collected the ball and pulled it up, super long 3 Just pick it up and throw it away!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored his 18th consecutive point!
Then when the Kings attacked, Lin Tian directly switched to defend Peja and stood with Peja. This time, when Peja wanted to use his off-ball skills and his height to attack Lin Tian, ​​he found that he could not get rid of it. Lin Tian, ​​no matter how he used his off-ball skills, Lin Tian could just follow him, preventing him from getting the space to catch the ball.

Seeing that the Kings' tactics were about to completely run away, Adelman couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and shouted: "You have a height advantage! You have a height advantage, Peja! Sit him with your back! Get stuck!" Stop him! Stop him!"

Hearing the head coach's prompt, Peja seemed to have a sudden thought. He immediately turned around and blocked Lin Tian, ​​reaching out for the ball. When Tekoglu saw that the eldest brother in the team was stuck, he no longer waited for another opportunity and passed the ball. The ball was given to Peja.

Lin Tian put up enough resistance behind Peja, which made Peja extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh!"

Peja dribbled the ball and pushed it backwards, trying to test his strength.

But after he rushed out, he felt that what he hit was not a person at all, but a wall that was difficult to destroy!

Not only did he fail to advance toward the inside, but he was knocked back by Lin Tian!
The more you hit, the further away from the basket!

"FUXX!"

Peja cursed, quickly changed his offensive ideas, and after dribbling towards Lin Tian, ​​Peja turned around directly, then quickly collected the ball and wanted to make a direct turnaround jumper!

According to his idea, he has an absolute height advantage. After pulling up to shoot, he can definitely avoid Lin Tian's defense and interference to complete the shot.

But the question is...can he complete the shot?

Obviously not!

"Snapped!"

The moment Peja took off to collect the ball, Lin Tian saw the opportunity and slapped him fiercely!

The basketball in Peja's hand immediately lost control and disappeared. Because of this, he lost his center of gravity and almost fell down!
And Lin Tian had already dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt and launched another counterattack!

The three Kings players, Jackson, Hoiberg and Turkoglu, retreated immediately. All three of them focused on Lin Tian. Hoiberg and Jackson were in front, and Turkoglu was in front. With Lu behind him, the three of them went all out to prevent Lin Tian from scoring!

Faced with the encirclement of three people, Lin Tian's choice was extremely calm and decisive!
He suddenly stopped after taking two steps to the 3-point line, then pulled up directly and made another mid-range pull-up jump shot!

"Shh!"

20 points! (End of chapter)
