NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"The minute just now was definitely the most exciting minute of an NBA game I've ever seen in my life!" Barkley continued his usual exaggerated tone: "Although both sides didn't even score a point, it even looked like there was still... There was some chaos, but the overall pace was really fast and indescribable!”

"Not bad!" Kenny also said: "To be honest, we have played in the NBA for more than ten years, played in the finals, and won a championship. What kind of scenes have we not seen? But the current situation of this game, I It really feels like I’ve never seen it before!”

"I just felt like I couldn't breathe!"

"It's so exciting! The ultimate offensive and defensive duel, both sides did their best! Look carefully at the shots and passes made by both sides just now. Is there any problem? No problem at all! Whether it's double O'Neal's dunk, or Carter's attack on the basket and Christie’s 3-point shot.”

"In terms of rhythm, opportunity, timing, tactics, etc., there are no problems at all! They are all absolutely perfect shot choices!"

"But whether it's the Lakers or the Pacers, they can destroy these opportunities! It's destruction in the absolute sense!"

Barkley followed up: "And to be able to do this for both parties, and to do it multiple times in a short period of time, actually only means one thing."

"In this series, the abilities, physical fitness, desire for victory, and level of commitment of the players on both sides have exceeded ordinary people's understanding of basketball! This series is extremely dreamy and full of wonderful moments. Series!"

"O'Neal once again defeated Big Ben, and he got another opportunity to attack for the Lakers! The game continues!"

“仍旧是0：0！如果不是第一节的比赛时间只剩下10分58秒，我真的会有一种刚刚那1分钟什么都没有发生，一切都是错觉的感觉！”

With Barkley and Kenny exclaiming, Kobe once again dribbled to the frontcourt, still in a very similar position to before. Fisher, O'Neal Jr. and Rice were scattered on the weak side, and Kobe and O'Neal were on the weak side. People have formed a partial two-on-two situation on the strong side.

Then Kobe once again gave the ball to O'Neal immediately and asked him to play in isolation.

"Come on, fat pig! If you dare to take action, I will give you another blood cap!" Ben put one hand firmly on O'Neal's waist, and at the same time spread his legs and firmly supported them on the floor. He was ready to It’s time for another head-to-head showdown with O’Neal!

"Just because you beat me up makes you feel like you're good again, right? I'll let you know how big the gap is between the two of us!" This time, O'Neal used more force and beat Ben even harder. !

Continuously exerting force sideways, he almost drove the opponent all the way into the 3-second zone. Then, before assisting in defense, he suddenly turned around and hit the basket, and then jumped up again with the opponent behind him!

This completely reflects the huge physical gap between Ben and O'Neal!
The two took off almost at the same time, but when O'Neal had reached the highest point, Ben was still half a hand lower than him!

Although there is a huge weight difference between the two, O'Neal still has an absolute advantage in bullet speed!
"boom!"

This time, there were no more accidents. O'Neal suppressed his body with great cruelty and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

"Little dwarf, where are you? Huh? That goal just now was a gift from Shaq's father!" After scoring, O'Neal gathered his arms and made a fierce and arrogant celebration gesture, and shouted at Ben. Grinning!
"It's just two points." Lin Tian quickly walked to O'Neal and Ben, stretched out his hand to pull Ben up, looked at O'Neal and said, "It's not worth mentioning."

In the Pacers' offense, Lin Tian once again singled out Fisher at the top of the key.

In Lin Tian's view, Fisher's defense has always been no different than air! Although this guy is still very young now, he is not yet the big defensive hole that no one can guard against except lifting his trouser legs and posing in the future.

But that's about it.

At least in Lin Tian's eyes, except for the confrontation, this guy is really not worth mentioning in all other aspects!
It was still a very simple attack step plus misdirected dribbling, and then suddenly accelerated. Lin Tian passed Fisher in another step, accelerated suddenly, and went directly into the inside!

Then when he reached the edge of the 3-second zone, Lin Tian suddenly turned around in a 360-degree washing machine style and passed O'Neal who stepped forward to help defend. Then he stepped forward, held the ball in both hands and headed towards O'Neal to kill him!
"Seeking death!" O'Neal's eyes widened and he jumped up facing Lin Tian!
In his opinion, Lin Tian danced like this just to find a hat!
But the two of them hadn't even made physical contact in the air. Lin Tian, ​​who had just been so aggressive that he would never give up until I dunk on you tonight, suddenly lowered his hands and passed the ball to the missed big shot under the basket. Book.

After Daben took the ball with both hands, he directly pulled it up and violently abused the basket with both hands!

"boom!"

2: 2!

"Wonderful!" Barkley shouted: "The first points scored by both sides were very exciting! Although they all ended with the center dunking with both hands, everything before the dunk was completely different! This also reflects the two goals. The difference in the team.”

"The Pacers use Lin as the absolute core. He controls the ball and rhythm, and then distributes it according to the situation."

"The Lakers play a traditional two-star game. The two of them are separated to one side and use O'Neal's powerful one-on-one ability to crush all the players who are facing him!"

"O'Neal's current support ability is of course not as good as the Pacers' Webber or other centers whose selling point is support, but it is definitely enough for him! If the Pacers dare to double-team O'Neal easily, then the rest of the Lakers The powerful shooting ability of the four will definitely make the Pacers comeback!"

"Of course, the situation is the same with the Pacers! If the Lakers don't choose to double-team, then Lin Tian will kill Fisher. If the Lakers double-team, then the Pacers' scoring ability will be worse than that of the Lakers. Only strong, not weak!”

"The question now is, who of the two sides will change first, and who can't help it and change their tactics first?"

Barkley had no answer to this question at least in the first quarter of the game.

Regardless of Jackson or Carlisle, although there were substitutions and adjustments in the first quarter, the overall tactical thinking did not change.

Carlisle insisted on letting Ben defend O'Neal alone, but except for his first blood cap at the beginning, Ben's defensive effect was not very good. O'Neal made 10 of 7 shots in the first quarter and 4 of 3 free throws. Monster statistics of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks!
In addition to O'Neal, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant scored 4 points, Rice and Fisher each scored a 3-pointer, and O'Neal Jr. also hit a mid-range shot and a tip-in to score 4 points.

On the Pacers' side, Lin Tian never enjoyed too many double-teams. As long as he didn't get into the 3-second zone, the Lakers would let him wreak havoc on Fisher!
对于这种防守待遇，林天也没和湖人客气，他单节10投6中，3分球2投1中，罚球2罚全中，拿下15分3篮板4助攻1断1帽的全面数据。

Under Lin Tian's guidance, Christie scored 5 points. Weber scored 7 points with his explosive hits in the mid-range. In addition, Ben also scored 4 points by picking up misses under the basket. In addition, the substitutes Miller scored 3 points and Harrington scored 2 points!
In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were inseparable. The Pacers temporarily led the Lakers by 36 points 31:5!
If we talk about which players on both sides performed abnormally in the first quarter of the game, it was Carter on the Pacers' side. Under Kobe's defense, he made 3 of 0 shots and scored 1 point. He also made a mistake. In this game between the league's top young swingmen, In the head-to-head confrontation, Carter fell into a complete disadvantage in the first round!
As for the Lakers, the performances of Horry, Shaw and Fox who came on the bench were very poor. The three of them jointly contributed 4 irons, but failed to score a single point. In addition, they played 1 minutes without taking a shot or making any other contributions. Hubble.

The Lakers' bench was completely misfired, which was also one of the biggest reasons why they trailed the Pacers by 5 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the two leaders Lin Tian and O'Neal took a rest at the same time, and the court became the two leaders of the team, Kobe and Webber.

The Lakers have three starters, Kobe, Rice, and O'Neal, plus two substitutes, Hubble and Grant.

On the Pacers side, there is a five-man combination of Weber, Christie, plus two Millers and Best.

Although Lin Tian and O'Neal were not on the court, the excitement of the game was not compromised at all!
Kobe started his own offensive mode. In the 3 minutes when O'Neal was absent, he scored 6 points in a row on sudden inside and outside shots. He also assisted O'Neal Jr. and Rice to score one goal each!
For the Pacers, although Weber didn't play so casually against O'Neal Jr. and only scored 2 points in total, with him supporting the team at the free throw line and activating the team, the team's offense was extremely beautiful.

Coupled with the fact that Brad Miller, a center with a high basketball quotient, cooperates with him in the low post, the Pacers' offense is so exciting that it's so exciting!

Reggie, Christie, and Best were constantly taking shots or attacking the basket. The Pacers' points increase was no slower than that of the Lakers.

When there were 8 minutes left in the second quarter, Jackson and Carlisle switched players again and brought on O'Neal and Lin Tian. The score between the two sides became 49:46!

The Lakers recovered 2 points and were only 3 points behind!

And when O'Neal returned to the court in the first round, he forced Ben Ben away from the basket, scored 2 points with a hook, and also caused a foul on Ben Ben's thugs.

After making the extra free throw, not only did O'Neal's service percentage tonight hit 5 of 4 free throws to reach 80%, the Lakers also directly tied the gap, and the two sides were tied!
But how could Lin Tian, ​​who played at the same time as O'Neal, watch O'Neal show off his power on the court alone? Turning around, he forced his way to the basket. After colliding with O'Neal in the air, he pulled the lever for a layup!
Like O'Neal, there is also an extra penalty for a 2-point hit!
Fortunately, this was only O'Neal's second foul, and the Lakers did not have to worry about O'Neal's foul problem.

But don't worry about the number of fouls. The Lakers have to worry about another issue.

That's O'Neal's free throws, back to normal level!
Well...his usual level from previous seasons, not this season's usual level.

In the remainder of the second quarter, O'Neal made three more free throws, but failed to hit a single shot!

After three consecutive strikes at the free throw line, the Pacers' defense against him became more fierce and ruthless, and the scale of his actions was also significantly upgraded!
O'Neal is still the same giant. He is not afraid of the Pacers' rough defense at all. He will even use rougher offensive moves to fight back!

But the problem is that he can't find his free throw touch.

Throughout the second quarter, O'Neal stood on the free throw line 8 times and only made 4 of them. His free throw shooting rate in the first half was also reduced to 12 of 7 free throws, not even 60%.

Also because of O'Neal's sudden coldness on free throws, the Lakers also lost the initiative in the second half of the second quarter, and they were once again left behind by the Pacers.

By the end of the first half, the Lakers were already 9 points behind the Pacers!

61: 52!

The Pacers entered the second half of the game with an absolutely not small advantage on the road!

And just when the Indiana fans were rejoicing and felt that the game was stable, the game took a sudden turn in the second half!

The Pacers team suddenly lost accuracy. In the first 3 minutes of the third quarter, the Pacers players, including Lin Tian, ​​actually went 8-for-0 from the field and failed to score 1 point!

On the other hand, the Lakers seized this opportunity. They made consecutive shots. Rice once again showed his top star style as he was third in the scoring list that year and led the team to the second round of the playoffs. In 3 minutes He made all three 3-pointers, plus a breakthrough dunk, scoring 3 points!
In addition, Kobe and O'Neal each scored 2 points, and the Lakers played a fierce 3:15 within 0 minutes!

The reason for such a wave of offensive climax was not only that the Pacers themselves suddenly missed the shot, but also because Jackson changed his tactics!

In other words, he slightly changed the players' positions.

Before, Kobe and O'Neal were playing 2-on-2 on one side, but in the second half, Jackson suddenly switched to Rice and O'Neal on the other side!
Rice's passing ability, breakthrough ability or most other abilities are actually completely inferior to Kobe's, but he has one ability that is definitely better than Kobe's now.

3-pointer!

His 3-pointers are definitely better than the current Kobe in terms of quality and quantity, and more importantly, the defender Rice faces is Carter, and Carter's defensive ability is far inferior to Christie's. Relatively speaking, Rice's The shooting environment is also better than Kobe!
Especially when Carter has to shrink and defend O'Neal, his speed of lateral movement, timing and scale of defense, and speed of pursuit are all far inferior to Christie!
Due to the combination of several factors, the Lakers' internal and external connections are extremely smooth. In addition, after the first ball was hit, Rice's confidence in shooting is getting stronger and stronger!
When he finally shot the third ball, Carter had actually blocked his face, but unfortunately the basketball was still able to get into the basket!
Relying on this wave of 15:0, the Lakers overtook the score in one fell swoop, going from lagging behind to leading by 6 points!
At this time, the Pacers' scoring drought was finally broken!
It was still Lin Tian. He once again held the ball and reached the inside. This time he faced O'Neal, almost regardless of it, he threw himself into the air first, and then after a serious collision with O'Neal, he threw himself into the air. The ball was thrown reluctantly.

The ball still missed, but at least the referee's whistle sounded.

Lin Tian got 2 free throw opportunities!

"Give up Lin, don't think about scoring easily again!" O'Neal looked at Lin Tiandao from the basket: "The goddess of victory is on our side!"

"If there is a goddess of victory in this world, she is also in my bed!" Lin Tian took a breath, steadily hit the first free throw, and then said: "If I miss the shot, I will keep rushing, let's see who among us How about falling down first?”

When Lin Tian said this, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and O'Neal couldn't help but tremble when he saw it.

He couldn't help but swallow, and then slapped his head violently.

The horse rider, I'm 210 centimeters tall, almost 150 kilograms, are you afraid of him?

So scared!
If you dare to come in, I will teach you a lesson!

Go ahead and give it a try!
Let's see who lies down first!
That's what Lin Tian said, and he did the same!
In the next few minutes of the game, the Pacers' touch still disappeared without a trace, and it was difficult for anyone to put the ball into the basket. If the Lakers' touch had not begun to decline, especially since Rice's magic had ended, the Pacers would have been unable to put the ball into the basket. The team is probably more than 10 points behind now!

When his teammates, including himself, were all inaccurate, Lin Tian also completely gave up the idea of ​​​​solving the battle with shooting. He began to charge inside again and again! He completely turned into a death squad, carrying explosives and killing the Lakers' hinterland again and again.

Then he threw himself in the air again and again, colliding with the Lakers' defensive players, then threw the ball toward the basket, fell to the ground in a panic, and finally stood up and walked to the free throw line.

In this quarter of the game, Lin Tian stood on the free throw line 11 times and hit 10 of them!
Relying on his fearless and crazy charging style, even though the Pacers still couldn't find any shooting feeling, the team's shooting percentage dropped sharply to less than 30% in this quarter, but they managed to hold on to the score!

81: 89!

When this quarter ended, it was the Pacers' turn to be 8 points behind the Lakers!

"I don't know what happened during the halftime break. Why did the Pacers suddenly lose their touch? They even gave me the feeling that they were under a spell!" Barkley pondered, "No one, including Lin, could make a shot!"

"Their tactics are fine, the timing of their shots is fine, and the people they shoot are fine too."

Kenny followed up: "But they just can't score! Basketball just doesn't get into the basket obediently anymore. Sometimes you have to be unreasonable about this kind of thing. If you miss, you miss. No one can explain it." Why."

Barkley said: "What I am most curious about now is how this game will develop and how Carlisle will solve the current predicament. He will continue to let the starting players test their skills and believe that he has the strongest players. Or should I bring in some substitute players and try my luck?"

In response to Barkley's question, Carlisle's choice was to try his luck with a few other people!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, because the team was lagging behind, he did not dare to let Lin Tian and Webber rest. At the same time, he also took Reggie, Harrington and Best!

The height of this lineup can be said to be very short. One of the two people on the inside is Webber, who is a pure No. 3 position, and the other is Harrington, who can even swing to the No. 2 position when necessary. Reggie is quite good at the No. 1 position. He can barely be called tall, but there are two No. positions in the backcourt, Lin Tian and Best!

Although this lineup is not high, it is definitely fast enough. At the same time, Lin Tian, ​​Reggie and Best can be regarded as the most accurate players tonight.

With Carter in complete disarray and Christie having no results in the third quarter, such a charging lineup is really the best choice Carlisle can make now!
Regarding Carlisle's formation, Buckley gave a very simple and accurate evaluation.

"Carlisle is so courageous! How dare you bet like this at this time!" The first offense of the fourth quarter was the Pacers' possession of the ball. Best dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and quickly handed the ball over. It was given to Miller on the left, and he pulled towards the right wing.

After holding the ball, Miller also quickly moved two steps to the left. After completely opening up the formation, he suddenly collected the ball and passed the ball inside.

At that place, it was Lin Tian who stuck Fisher with his back and reached for the ball!

As for the other three members of the Pacers, they were all pulled to the other side now, giving Miller and Lin Tian a partial two-on-two opportunity!
"The Pacers, this is imitating the Lakers! It's also a partial two-on-two! Let's see if their imitation tactics can have any effect!" Kenny discovered the changes in the Pacers and immediately made an analysis .

"Lin's strong strength and post-up ability on the back line, coupled with Reggie's range and accuracy, if these two people are separated, the threat is indeed no less than O'Neal and Kobe!"

"More importantly, they still have Weber!"

As soon as Kenny finished speaking, Lin Tian showed everyone why it is important to have Webb in this position.

As soon as he dribbled the ball, the Lakers' double-team came. Lin Tian immediately passed the ball to the high post with one hand and gave it to Webber at the free throw line.

At the moment when the ball was released, Lin Tian suddenly turned around and wiped it towards the baseline. Webber did not stop after getting the basketball, and passed the ball directly towards the basket!
Lin Tian, ​​who had already hit the basket, rose up from the ground, held up the old Grant, jumped high, got the basketball in the air, and then pushed it towards the basket!
"boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tiantian succeeded in an aerial relay dunk, scoring 2 key points for the team!
"It's beautiful! In this league, I'm afraid only the Pacers can play such a beautiful triangle tactic!"

"Webb's awareness and passing, Miller's three-point threat, and Lin's dual advantages in strength and flexibility in the low post! These combined can make Lin's scoring this time so smooth!"

Then the Lakers' offense started. At this time, the Lakers' lineup on the court was Kobe, Fisher, Shaw, O'Neal Jr. and Grant.

The core of this lineup is undoubtedly Kobe!
Although Kobe didn't score as many points as O'Neal tonight, and his highlight moments were not as dazzling as Rice's, he relied on his explosive burst at the beginning of the second quarter and by now he had scored 19 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. Got it!

And when O'Neal is not around, Kobe is the real Kobe! Only at this time can he unleash his firepower.

Facing Lin Tian who was defending him, Kobe licked his lips excitedly and said, "Long time no see, Lin! Do you know? I haven't slept well this year! Just to beat you in the finals!"

"If you can't sleep well, you have to see a psychiatrist. It's none of my business!" Lin Tian said as he slammed into Kobe and cut the ball at the same time, trying to steal the ball from Kobe.

But it is a pity that Kobe has an obvious physical advantage over Lin Tian. He lifts the basketball extremely high and does not give Lin Tian a chance to steal.

"I don't need a doctor!"

"Then you have to take medicine! Otherwise, if you continue to suffer from insomnia, your health will suffer!"

"I'm here to defeat you! It's not because there's something wrong with Ta Ma's spirit!"

"Then you can't sleep?"

"Yes!"

"Then you are mentally ill!"

"You fart!"

"Reggie."

The two were squirting at each other when Lin Tian suddenly shouted, causing Kobe to look to his side, only to find that Miller had not come over at all, but was entangled with Xiao on the other side.

It was too late for Kobe to focus his attention on Lin Tian again.

Because Lin Tian had once again reached out his sinful hand, this time he moved his body, bypassed half of Kobe's body, swatted the ball down, then accelerated suddenly and rushed towards the frontcourt!
This time, in order to score quickly, Lin Tian increased his speed to the extreme in the blink of an eye, then went all the way to the basket and dunked with one arm to score another 2 points!
And when he completed the dunk, even Kobe, who was risking his life to catch up, had just stepped onto the free throw line.

The difference in speed is obvious!
Seeing that the Pacers had scored two goals in a row, Jackson didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He patted O'Neal and Rice and let the two absolute cores of the team quickly appear!
In the first game of the finals, Jackson didn't dare to push the envelope. He had to win and give the team a good start!

Kobe couldn't help but frown when he saw that after only one round, Jackson replaced all the main players.

He felt the loss of not being trusted.

I can call you back!

No need to change!
This is what Kobe was thinking, and this is what he did next!
He didn't give the ball to O'Neal in the next offense, but instead forced a breakthrough to the mid-range and then suddenly pulled up. Relying on his height and wingspan, he forced a mid-range jumper against Lin Tian's defense!

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe hit a difficult 2-pointer against the defense.

After the goal, Kobe didn't look at Lin Tian talking trash, but looked back at Jackson.

Although he didn't speak, the aggrievedness in his heart was completely exposed!

He even ran past Jackson and muttered a few words to him.

"It's frustrating." Who is Lin Tian? As the league's number one dirty tactician, Lin Tian could tell what Kobe was thinking right away without hesitation. After Kobe came to the frontcourt, he opened his mouth and started provoking: "I don't even have a chance to prove that I can't do it. Feel bad."

"Who makes you the second guy on the team, no, the third guy? Shaq, Phil, and then you."

"Look at Tracy, he can be the boss of a top team, why can't you? I heard that several teams are willing to give you a maximum salary and unlimited firing rights. I don't think about it. Well?"

"Shut up Lin, I couldn't be happier in Los Angeles!"

"I understand, brothers and sisters are respectful, it's fun." Lin Tian continued with a bad smile: "You can definitely let Shaq go. When you are the boss, you don't have to move your place yourself. It's okay to let others move. Is it the same?"

"Shaq and I are good buddies!"

"Really? I don't believe it!" Lin Tian shook his head without thinking: "If you two really like each other from the bottom of your heart, I will cut off your head and use it as a urinal for you!"

Lin Tian was madly taunting and irritating Kobe while dribbling the ball to find an open teammate. Then Lin Tian suddenly shook his hands toward the left corner, where Harrington caught the basketball.

O'Neal Jr. did not follow in time. He was still entangled with Weber near the free throw line. As for O'Neal, it was even less possible for O'Neal to rush to pounce on an open 3-pointer by an unknown person.

Harrington got a huge opening. After taking a look at it, this reckless guy took a decisive shot!

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the Pacers scored another 3 points!
And this 3-pointer was also the first 3-pointer they hit since the middle of the third quarter!
They just missed 7 consecutive 3-pointers!

"Beautiful! Harrington! Big-hearted kid! This guy only has a 30% three-point shooting rate this year, but he dares to take a shot at this time! Carlisle's employment is indeed bold and effective!" Barkley praised excitedly: "No wonder Larry asked him to take over as the head coach! This courage is exactly what a top coach should have!"

While Barkley was speaking, the Lakers' offense once again passed by Kobe and hit O'Neal's hands. When O'Neal faced Webber, he was really no different from facing the air. He easily pushed away Webber, and then turned around and hooked , scored 2 points!
"I thought you could be more talented and compete with Phil and Shaq, but unexpectedly you just passed the ball! Then why did you hit that mid-range shot just now? Want a stick? Do you want to eat lollipops?”

Lin Tiancai doesn't care whether O'Neal scores or not. In his opinion, stimulating Kobe and letting Kobe play more uniquely without passing the ball to O'Neal is the most important thing tonight and even this series!
"You know Kobe, if you play like this, even if you win in the end, all the praise belongs to Shaq!"

"You are just a passer-by who won the championship! Everyone will only remember Shaq!"

"Have you contributed anything? Oh, indeed you have, but it's really not worth mentioning!"

"Don't you know that winning a championship without FMVP will lower your historical status?"

"If you are promising, if you are not the FMVP champion, don't take it!"

With Lin Tian's trash talk, Kobe really got more and more excited!

But it is a pity that Kobe is passing the ball more and more, and the more he passes the ball, the more he passes!
This guy almost gave up on attacking!
The more he plays, the more reasonable he becomes, and when passing the ball to O'Neal, the ball becomes smoother and smoother!

He directly gave the ball to O'Neal from outside the three-point line for a single. He rushed to the basket and passed the ball to O'Neal near the free throw line and made a mid-range shot. He went to the basket to attract double teams and then passed the ball to Rice on the baseline and hit a 3-pointer. After the breakthrough, The fake shot passed to O'Neal for a one-arm dunk.
The most exaggerated time was when the Pacers returned to the full lineup and when Christie returned to the court to face Kobe.

This guy made continuous fake moves to shake Christie away, giving himself a very good 3-point opportunity. Then when he took off and everyone thought he was going to shoot, this guy actually dunked the ball towards the inside again!
O'Neal Jr. caught the ball in the air, turned and dunked in the air to score another 2 points for the Lakers!
Before the fourth quarter of the game was over, Kobe had 15 fucking assists, directly breaking his own career playoff assist record in a single game!

While giving 15 assists, Kobe only made 3 turnovers! Absolutely top point guard performance and assist-to-turnover ratio, absolutely calm and the right choice!

Kobe has proven that he is neither alone nor incapable of passing the ball. In those games above him, he simply didn't want to pass the ball!

When he passes the ball seriously, he is definitely one of the best passers in the league outside of the No. 1 position!

Under Kobe's extremely reasonable style of play, the Lakers' entire offense was completely revitalized! Their offense in the fourth quarter was smooth and successful!
Kenny even gave the highest praise he could give: "I see the shadow of Magic in Kobe!"

That is to say, the Pacers' touch suddenly came back in the fourth quarter tonight. Whether it was Lin Tian, ​​Miller or Christie, they all made shots. Except for Carter, who was still unable to deal with Kobe and was extremely miserable by him, the Pacers Everyone else's status is back!

Just like their sudden loss of touch in the third quarter, there is no reason and no reason can be found. It is that there is such a force guiding them in the dark, making them unable to make shots, and then making them hit consecutively!

If the Pacers' touch hadn't completely returned in the fourth quarter, the Pacers would have been completely pulled away by the Lakers at this moment!
But even if they found the touch, they were never able to completely equalize or overtake the score.

With only 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides became 115:120!

The Pacers are still 5 points behind the Lakers!
This was an ultimate offensive battle. Both sides actually played their own things, and both sides played their best and most perfect state!
This night's showdown is definitely the pinnacle of battle!

But no matter what, there is a winner in this game!

At least so far, the Lakers have the upper hand!

Carlisle called a timeout at this time, hoping that the players could calm down, stabilize their mentality, and then score the next goal!
At this time, the most excited person in the audience was not even Kobe, who had scored 24 points and 15 assists, nor O'Neal, who had scored 40 points and 19 rebounds. The most excited and proud person at this moment was Phil. jackson.

This guy held his arms with both hands and looked proudly at Lin Tian across from the bench.

Little Fox! Did you finally let me defeat you once?

Psychological warfare?
When it comes to psychological warfare, Phil Jackson is number one in the league!

Jackson barely spoke to Kobe throughout the entire night, and even in the past few days when Lin Tian's remarks were reported by the media!
He never said anything like, 'Lin is deliberately provoking', 'We need you to pass the ball', 'Shaq is our most important person, your job is to get the ball to him' or anything like that.

Jackson knew very well that saying this to Kobe was not only useless, but would also have a high probability of having the opposite effect, so he wisely chose silence, chose to be quiet, he was waiting, he was waiting for Kobe to take the initiative to come to him!

Sure enough, Kobe Bryant just started in the fourth quarter, when Jackson replaced O'Neal. After Kobe hit that difficult jumper, he took the initiative to run to Jackson and said to Jackson: "Phil, I can do it!"

"I know." Jackson acted extremely calm and calm, squinting his eyes and said: "I have always known that you can do it, and I believe that you know when and how to play. You are Kobe Bryant! In my heart, the most A super talent that could surpass Jordan.”

"Michael knows when to attack and when to pass, and of course you know too!"

"If I don't know what you can do, why don't I talk to you all the time?"

With just these few words, Kobe completely let go of all the entanglements in his heart and directly transformed into a passing master, making the entire Lakers hiccup!

Lin Tian, ​​at this moment, even had the illusion that the four legendary NBA mythical beasts circulated on the Chinese Internet in his previous life were Miai, Li Ke, Diligent Shark, and Cold-blooded James.
