NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

This night, Lin Tian did what he promised to his players before the game.

打满首节的12分钟，他11次出手命中6球，其中3分球2投1中，罚球4罚全中，拿下17分4篮板4助攻2抢断的全面数据！
Although Lin Tian's efficiency is just that, not bad but not abnormally accurate, the most important thing is not how high his shooting percentage is, but how much attitude he shows on the playing field. Strong!
4 rebounds, 3 of them are offensive rebounds!
Lin Tian rushed inside again and again to fight with O'Neal for rebounds. Relying on his own strength and speed, he grabbed offensive rebounds three times to help the team get a second offensive opportunity.

Moreover, although his efficiency value is not high, Lin Tian has to take at least two Lakers players for almost every shot. Every shot is very difficult, which also includes 3 shots before the end of the shot time. Forced shot after receiving the ball at 3 seconds.

On the defensive end, Lin Tian's aggressiveness is also much stronger than in the previous two games. He no longer struggles with Fisher on the bottom line. Instead, as long as O'Neal or Kobe comes to his area, he will immediately let Fisher go. Well, rush towards those two people!
If they pass the ball, Lin Tian will chase Fisher back as quickly as possible and complete the interference! If they don't pass the ball, Lin Tian will use his tough and crazy defense to make it difficult for the Lakers' ball handlers to form an effective offense!
Of course, Lin Tian paid a high price for such a fight.

For example, the most exciting scene in the entire first quarter came when Lin Tian helped defend Kobe Bryant and then quickly chased back. The moment Fisher took action, he jumped high and tackled Fisher at a height of more than 3 meters above the ground. The shot completed the aerial interception!
A slap sent the basketball directly to the second-floor stands!

But Fisher also got enough opportunities. He hit a 1-pointer and a long-range 3-pointer in the first quarter!
In addition, because Lin Tian adopted an almost fierce attitude when assisting defense and rushing for offensive rebounds, he also had problems with the number of fouls. With two minutes left in the first quarter, he was fouled for grabbing a rebound. He didn't control his movements well at the time, pushed O'Neal from behind, and got his second foul.

However, under Lin Tian's strong request, Carlisle did not replace him, but watched with fear as Lin Tian played the entire first quarter on the court!

Then, there was Lin Tian who consumed a huge amount of energy! What he attacked on the offensive end tonight was the most concentrated iron barrel formation of the Lakers. He forced himself into the Lakers' position again and again, and smashed himself into the Lakers crowd again and again.

On the defensive end, although Lin Tian did not mainly defend Kobe, his fast movement, vigorous running and omnipresent presence probably took a lot more physical energy out of him than playing one-on-one with Kobe!

This is why Lin Tian, ​​who has always been called a physical monster, would gasp for air during breaks and frantically pour energy drinks into his mouth to restore his physical strength as much as possible.

Of course, Lin Tian's consumption is actually far less than it seems. With the double buff of his runes + 'Czech Iron Man', he will never play tonight's style unless he plays for more than 45 minutes. There are physical problems.

But Lin Tian knows that at a time like tonight, it is obviously more useful to let his teammates think that he is exhausted, has reached his limit and is still fighting for his life with all his strength than Yun Danfengqing saying "I'm fine" !

The former can better stimulate the bloodiness and fighting desire of teammates!

In particular, to do this, Lin Tian only needs to take a few deep breaths, drink a few bottles of drinks, and then cover his head with a towel and lower his head without saying a word.

too easy!

Absolutely a huge profit.

The choice of a psychological master like Lin Tian is of course very effective!
In the first quarter of the game, under the leadership of Lin Tian, ​​the Pacers showed their crazy and bloodthirsty side in the first quarter. The entire team fought with their lives against the Lakers. Originally, in the previous games, The ultra-high intensity has been raised once again in this game!

Although the Pacers' sudden increase in intensity did not allow them to score too many points. After all, they were too excited and energetic. Sometimes it did not help them score more points, but it definitely helped them prevent their opponents from sending the ball into the basket. basket!

For example, tonight, the Pacers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was 23 of 9, not even 40%. They only scored 26 points in the first quarter!

But that's enough!
Because they made the Lakers very uncomfortable and the Lakers players completely failed to match their own intensity!
Although the Lakers' shooting percentage in the first quarter was as high as 47%, which was nearly 10 points higher than the Pacers, they lost to the Pacers by 6 rebounds and made 3 more turnovers than the Pacers!
The addition of these circumstances resulted in the Lakers, who hit higher, only scoring 20 points, trailing the Pacers by 6 points entering the second quarter.

At the same time, they did not score a single point in the second offense, which means that their offense is a one-shot deal.

All these factors added together resulted in a score of 20:26 in the first quarter.

On the scene, the Lakers were frightened by the Pacers!
Well, I was scared! This is what fans see on TV!
The Lakers obviously can't keep up with the intensity of the Pacers. They are a little helpless in both offense and defense, as if they are a whole beat slower than the Pacers!
The two core players of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are fine. They can match up with the Pacers. In other words, it is because these two people were in good shape in the first quarter and their shooting percentage was extremely high. This allowed the Lakers to score 20 points, and There is also a 47% hit rate.

If these two people were removed, the Lakers' performance in the first quarter would be truly horrific!

Except for the two of them, the rest of the Lakers only made 8 of 2 shots, 3 of 0 free throws, and only scored 5 points in total!
Well, Fisher got it all!

Except for these three people, no one from the Lakers scored in the first quarter!
Except for the absolute core, the rest of the Lakers were completely defeated by the Pacers!
And this collapse continued for the entire game!
This continuation also puts the Lakers in a very interesting state in this game.

That is, Kobe and O'Neal are in excellent condition and can always take advantage of various opportunities to score. They can also hit the magic ball and difficult goals at their fingertips.

But except for the two of them, the rest of the team was completely unable to hit shots, always holding back Kobe and O'Neal!
But the firepower and abilities of Kobe and O'Neal are really strong! With the entire team except for the two of them being undercover, these two relied on their own personal abilities to always lead the team to keep the score!

Until the last 3 minutes of the game, the two sides were still able to score 91:92!

The Pacers, with all their firepower and everyone's eyes red, were only leading by 1 point!

For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 33 points and O'Neal scored 38 points. Apart from these two, only Fisher scored 7 points, and everyone else did not score more than 4 points. That is to say, except for Apart from the three of them, no one has scored more than one sports goal!
The rest of the Lakers players are really stretching their hips!
But the Pacers are actually not much better!
Their intensity was too great. Although the Lakers couldn't score a goal, it was difficult for them to put the ball into the basket!
Except Lin Tian!

林天今晚已经疯狂出手了34次，命中了其中的16个，3分球10投4中，罚球14罚12中，已经拿下了48分！
In addition to Lin Tian, ​​the two highest scorers on the Pacers were Weber with 12 points and Miller with 11 points! In addition to these three people, the Pacers no longer have a fourth person to score in double figures!
Tonight's game was a combination of crazy defense, impact, rebounding and confrontation, resulting in a very low shooting percentage.

On the other side, the team couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, causing the role players to collectively lose control and fail to hit shots.

After the back and forth between the two sides, although it seemed that the Pacers had the advantage, in fact they only led by 1 point!
The reason is that the Lakers have two top stars who have maintained their form, while only Lin Tian of the Pacers has maintained their level!
When the game reaches this point, although the outcome of the game is still unclear, the status of each player tonight is already clear!
If you can't find anyone in good condition right now, don't even try to put the ball into the basket during the next game time!

At this point, the best way for both parties is that the person who is not accurate should stop shooting or attacking! Just defend well!

There is no time and space for them to try and make mistakes and challenge the feel!
In other words, the last 3 minutes of the game will officially become a direct duel between Lin Tian and OK!
After the timeout, the first wave of possession belonged to the Pacers. Lin Tian held the ball against Kobe!

"Come on Lin! If you have the ability, you can score 50 points, but the victory must belong to us!" Kobe focused his attention and challenged Lin Tian.

"If necessary, I will score 60 or 70 points! But the victory of the game must belong to us!" After Lin Tian answered equally calmly, he suddenly took a deep breath, then suddenly accelerated again, and took a step away from Kobe. Passed by, and then squeezed Kobe with his shoulders and headed towards the inside!
At this point in the game, Lin Tian had not rested for even a minute, and every second he was on the court, his offensive and defensive intensity was at full capacity! Even if Lin Tian has the blessing of dual physical BUFFs, he is already tired by now!
So his speed has really declined visibly. At least when he broke through, Kobe was able to keep up with his speed!
Kobe opened his arms all the way and followed Lin Tian to the edge of the three-second zone.

Lin Tian's outside hand suddenly hit the ball hard at this time, and at the same time, his inside foot was used as an axis, making a 360-degree turn towards the middle!
After turning around, Lin Tian held the ball with both hands and feinted towards the basket. O'Neal under the basket and Kobe beside Lin Tian jumped up at the same time!
These two guys were fooled!

After the two people jumped up, Lin Tian took a step, dodged them, and scored 2 points with an underhand layup. At the same time, Lin Tian still had physical contact with O'Neal during the jump. The referee immediately blew the whistle. Gave O'Neal a defensive foul!
A wonderful standard step up and down!
A 2+1 that can bring the Pacers' lead to a safe area!

91: 95!

After Lin Tianjia made the free throw, not only did his score reach 51 points, the Pacers' lead also reached 4 points!
The next round of the Lakers' round was another one-sided 2-on-2 between Kobe and O'Neal. O'Neal took the ball in the low post, squeezed Brad Miller behind him, easily reached the inside, and then turned around and made a small hook, easily hitting Score 2 points!
The reason why Miller is defending O'Neal right now is because two minutes ago, Ben got his sixth foul and was sent off by the referee!
Although Miller's basketball IQ is very high and his various tricks are very good, in terms of defensive hardness and ability, he is really incomparable to Ben.

O'Neal hit him almost accurately!

It's just that O'Neal just hit a hook here, and before he even had time to celebrate and cheer, Lin Tian had already directed his teammates to quickly send a baseline ball, and launched another counterattack toward the frontcourt!

In the positional battle, Lin Tian's explosive power is indeed not as good as his physical strength at this moment, but the physical strength of the Lakers players has almost bottomed out! They can still keep up in the positional battle, but when it comes to the whole-court attack, the Lakers are really powerless!
Even Kobe, who had the strongest desire to win, couldn't keep up with Lin Tian at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as he rushed to the frontcourt and quickly completed a one-stop layup!
93: 97!

When the time came to the last 2 minutes, the score difference between the two sides was still 4 points!
The Lakers' offense this time went to Kobe. O'Neal rarely took the initiative to leave the 3-second zone and set a screen for Kobe at the top of the key. After Kobe took a step forward with the ball, he directly forcibly pulled it up and stepped on the 3-point line. The long 2 points shot again!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Lakers continued to hold on to the score! Not giving Walker or Lin Tian any chance to breathe and relax.

And this time, after Kobe Bryant hit the 2-pointer, the Lakers retreated significantly faster than before, especially Fisher and Rice, who had obviously been instructed by Jackson. They didn't wait for Kobe Bryant to hit the ball. Turn around and run wildly, then turn to defend!

After all, Lin Tian's fast attack is too intimidating!

When the fast break failed, Lin Tian stopped being anxious. He dribbled the ball slowly and almost came to the frontcourt with the 8-second violation on the side. Then seeing that the Lakers did not press forward, he simply continued to stall for time.

It wasn't until there were only 4 seconds left in the attack time that Lin Tiancai suddenly started again!
Continuously changing direction and dribbling to bypass Kobe, giving himself a half-length lead. Then, after reaching the mid-range, he hit his shoulder, followed by a smooth step-back, then rose up from the ground, and shot a mid-range jumper!

"Shh!"

No need to look, the basketball got into the basket again!

95: 99!

Lin Tian hit this ball almost immediately before the 24-second attack time was reached. He was an absolute time lord and an absolute big-hearted act!

After all, he pressed the time too hard just now. If there is any accident, the goal may become a 24-second violation at any time!
Time has come to the last 1 minute and 20 seconds!
Almost a minute later, O'Neal hit another dunk, and Lin Tian responded with a pick-up basket that forced the ball to the basket.

Then Kobe made a quick counterattack, went to the frontcourt and dunked successfully.

Then it was Lin Tian again on the Pacers' side. He once again went to the basket and hit O'Neal with a super-high arc throw, which was also a 2-pointer!
After several consecutive rounds of confrontation between OK Combination and Lin Tian, ​​the gap between the two sides was still 4 points!
And the game time has only the last 30 seconds left!
At this time, Jackson couldn't sit still anymore, he could only apply for a timeout!

"Wonderful! So wonderful! Lin alone withstood the two-person attack from OK! The two-minute game just now was so wonderful! Both sides played a perfect performance!"

"Lin is like a warrior guarding the team's final glory. He stands firmly on the team's last line of defense, preventing the Lakers from overstepping even half a step!"

After Jackson called a timeout, Barkley immediately shouted excitedly: "This is the ultimate showdown we want to see! This is the best finals!"

"There is no more exciting and beautiful game than this!"

"No matter how Kobe and O'Neal score, Lin will definitely be able to score a goal in his own way and let the team continue to lead!"

"Now, in the last 30 seconds, let's see what happens next. Let's see whether the Lakers can finally break through the 2-point, 4-point swing back and forth, or whether Lin Tian will continue to protect the team and keep this game. Where's the victory?"

On the Lakers side, Jackson adjusted his glasses and still looked calm and said: "They will guard against our 3-pointers! It is even possible that all four of them will pounce outside the 4-point line! So this One ball, let’s hit the basket!”

"Shaq, after the kickoff, you sink directly inside, prepare to receive the ball and directly complete the offense. Robert, you are responsible for the sideline ball. Try to pass it directly to Shaq. If you can't pass it to his hands, give it to Kobe. Kobe, you Try to get inside as soon as possible or dunk the ball directly to Shaq!"

"Glenn, you and Derek stand at the 45-degree angle on the left and the baseline respectively to create space for them!"

"In this round, we focus on a surprise attack to make them think we are going to throw a three-pointer, but what we have to do is to complete an offense within 3-4 seconds, then defend against their attack, and finally use those 3-4 seconds Time to complete the fatal blow! Do you understand?”

"understand!"

Jackson nodded. Although he didn't like going to the gambling table, he had a strong gambling instinct and chose an extremely risky and extremely bold way to play the last 30 seconds!
If his plan can come true, then the Lakers may really be able to complete their ultimate comeback!
"Dudu!"

When the referee blew the whistle, the Lakers players immediately ran away, attracting the attention of the Pacers' defense. At the same time, they also paid great attention to opening up space for Kobe and O'Neal to shoot.

Then, Horry saw the right opportunity. At the moment when only O'Neal and Miller were left in the three-second zone, he suddenly raised his hand and dunked the ball directly into the paint!

"It's done!" Jackson off the court couldn't help but fist his fist! Looking at the trajectory of Horry's pass and O'Neal's crushing force on Miller, this ball may be completed in just 2 seconds!
But before Jackson even had time to let go of his clenched fist, he was stunned!
There are huge changes on the court!
Brad Miller!
This walk-on player who only scored 5 points and 5 rebounds tonight, this white center who was getting everything O'Neal asked for, suddenly stretched his head forward at this moment, and hit O'Neal's elbow. Then this guy seemed to be beaten by thousands of people. It was as if a -ton giant hammer hit his face, and he fell on his back!
"Offensive foul!"

The baseline referees gave their penalty without hesitation!
O'Neal, who had just caught the ball, opened his eyes in disbelief, spread his hands and said, "I didn't even move! I didn't touch him at all! This bastard is acting!"

"When it comes to acting, of course you Los Angeles people are better at it." The referee muttered, then turned to the technical table without looking at O'Neal to read out his penalty, while O'Neal was held down by his teammates and let He is calm.

At this time, go to the referee to argue. If you get another technical foul, it will really be over!

But O'Neal regained his composure and stopped yelling at the referee, but the other person couldn't help it.

Jackson!
Off the court, Jackson seemed to have completely lost his cool at this moment. He spread his hands and stepped forward quickly, also walking towards the referee with a look of disbelief on his face. He yelled crazily at the referee on the sidelines, spouting all kinds of curse words one after another.

"How can this be an offensive foul! Shaq didn't even move! You idiots! Idiots! How can you call an offensive foul on Shaq at this time in the game! Do you know how to be a referee?"

"If you don't know how to be a referee, just send your mother to my bed and I'll teach them a lesson!"

"I will definitely file a complaint! I will fight with you to the end! Let me tell you, this is not over! This matter is not over! You guys are just blackmails! A bunch of stupid idiots! I will let the alliance investigate whether you are involved Spinach! I will also investigate whether you received money!"

"A bunch of bastards, you ruined this perfect game! You ruined the players' hard work all night! You are rubbish! A bunch of complete rubbish!"

Seeing Jackson's furious look, people who didn't know better might have thought that he had been wronged. Now it was the turn of the Lakers players, led by O'Neal, to persuade Jackson to calm down and stop being impulsive.

No need, no need, hold on, hold on!
The Pacers players are all watching the show at the moment.

Big Ben couldn't help but said: "This guy is still called a Zen master? It's just a whistle. What's the fuss? I've already been whistled for 6 times, and I'm not so impulsive! He doesn't know that his impulsiveness will make the team Completely lost?"

"Of course he knows. He knows the team's situation better than anyone else." Lin Tian said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Phil. He is very smart. He knows better than anyone when to get angry and when to get angry." It’s time to put pressure on the referees and the league!”

"In the last 20 seconds, trailing by 4 points, without the ball, and with only one timeout left, he calculated that the Lakers had almost no chance of winning tonight, so instead of playing the last 20 seconds in frustration, Seconds, why not find an opportunity to let the alliance know that he is 'angry'!"

"He will use his anger to build an advantage for the next three games! He will make the referee's call bias towards them!"

"If I guess correctly, Phil will continue to criticize the referee in the post-game press conference, and may even send a videotape to the league. As for the fine of US$3 to US$5, this old fox doesn't care at all! This is his purpose!"

"Then, with a high probability, if the same situation occurs in the next game, the referee will not call Shaq an offensive foul! Part of the head coach's salary is used to pay fines and criticize the referee. of!"

After listening to Lin Tian's words, Daben finally understood why Jackson was as angry as his mother when the referee slept with him.

Lin Tian patted Brad Miller on the shoulder and said, "Good choice! Brad, you did a great job!"

Miller scratched his head and said: "I just gave it a try. I think at that time, the referee will definitely blow the whistle! He will give Shaq an offensive foul!"

"Why?" Ben was confused again. He felt that his CPU tonight was not enough.

He also felt that how could these people who were playing tactics have such dirty hearts?
Is it the heart or the large intestine that grows on the chests of these people? How could there be so many twists and turns?

Carlisle said easily: "Because we are 1:2 behind. If we are reversed by the Lakers at this time and the score becomes 1:3, the next game will not be so exciting! Therefore, although the league will not help openly , and will not make outrageous penalties in the finals.”

"But at this time, they will still call it a very clear foul without hesitation! But if the score between our two sides is 2:2 at this time, Brad will most likely not call it. He will Let us take care of the game ourselves!”

"Okay, here you are." Daben pointed to his chest and said: "It's all intestines! You dirty guys have no heart!"

"Fuck you!" Lin Tian, ​​Carlisle and even the always honest Miller gave Ben a middle finger at the same time.

The suspense of this game is almost over!
Next, Lin Tian went to the free throw line and hit a free throw, extending the team's lead to 5 points. Then the Pacers' sideline ball was sent. After the Lakers tried hard for several seconds and failed to steal, they no longer did anything in vain. , no longer intentionally fouled to let Lin Tian gain points, but waited for the game time to come to the end.

99: 104!

The Pacers won a thrilling victory at home with a 5-point advantage and won the fourth game of the series!

Both sides are once again on the same starting line!
This night, the biggest contributor to the Pacers' victory once again undoubtedly belongs to Lin Tian!

这个晚上的林天在队友们进攻不力，几乎没人能给与他帮助的情况下，个人39投21中，3分球10投4中，罚球16罚14中，狂砍60分14篮板6助攻4抢断2盖帽的完美数据！
In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian scored all 12 points of the team! During this period, he made 5 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He withstood the bombardment of the OK combination alone and defended this extremely difficult victory for the team!
The situation on the Lakers' side is actually very similar. Except for the OK combination, the rest of the team gave them very little help. All the team's scoring in the last 3 minutes were done by Kobe and O'Neal!
其中科比今晚拿下37分8篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽，奥尼尔则是再次轰下42分19篮板5盖帽的怪物级别数据，还把大本直接打的六犯下场！
But even though the OK combination worked together so fiercely to score 79 points, they still failed to defeat Lin Tian and the Pacers, and failed to continue to expand the total score of the series.

They can only accept the fact that the two sides are tied again, and will have a best-of-3-3 decisive battle in the next three games!
The next game is destined to be more dangerous and there will be no room for mistakes!

Just as Lin Tian expected, after the game, Jackson swore at the referee at the post-game press conference, and then received a fine of US$3 as he wished. Jackson believed that his scorn would In the next battle at Tianwang Mountain, the whistle will definitely be more beneficial to the Lakers!
It's just that Jackson never thought that the Pacers also had a tactical expert and a very dirty-minded guy.

"I want to sue the league and the referees tonight! Their officiating was really bad! I even felt that we were playing this game in Los Angeles, and I couldn't feel any home advantage! Normally, I feel like tonight His style of play should result in more than 25 free throws!”

"But what's the result? The blind referee gave me 15 free throws! I know it was 16, I don't need you to remind me, but the last one was a free product, wasn't it?"

"To be honest, I have never seen people like Phil. They have the ultimate advantage in penalty decisions. Our starting center was sent off early for an unwarranted foul, but they are still not satisfied and are still protesting. !”

"I don't understand why they are doing this. They are clearly the side with the penalty advantage! What do they want? Did the referee kick me off the court with two technical fouls because I breathed too loudly at the beginning of the game?"

"I can only say that I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"We will continue to complain, we will continue to provide all kinds of evidence to the league, and we will continue to protest until we get the treatment we deserve!"

After Lin Tian's righteous remarks, he also received a $3 fine as he wished.

And, a call from Jackson.

"Lin, are you shameless for riding a horse?" Jackson opened his mouth and scolded: "I thought of the trick first! Why did you learn it!"

"I like it, do you care? If you are jealous, come to Indiana and be an assistant coach! I promise you won't have to be angry with me anymore!"

"FUXX! But next time you want to do this, can you say hello to me earlier? Do you have too much money to spend? Just give money to the alliance like this?"

"I am indeed very rich. To be honest, I don't even know how much money I have now!"

"FUXX! I don't have that much money to waste with you! If you tell me earlier next time, I won't do it. You owe me 3 US dollars!"

"No, I'm doing this just to see your money go down the drain! I'm happy, I just like to see this!" After Lin Tian hung up the phone with a smile, he looked at Carlisle in front of him and said, "Rick, what are you doing now? You know why I want to take your job."

"I thought you wanted to help me save money." Carlisle said helplessly: "Now I realize that I overestimated you. You just want to find an opportunity to blast Phil Jackson, right?"

"Is it so obvious?" Lin Tian laughed.

"There is no more obvious piece of shit than this." Carlisle rolled his eyes and said: "The happiest thing now is the alliance. It received a fine of 6 US dollars but did not have to do anything."

"The saddest thing must be the referee union." Lin Tiandao: "They just did their job, but they got scolded twice for no reason. And judging from the results, the two scolds canceled each other out, and they were in vain! More The important thing is that not even a dime of the $6 will fall into their hands!”

"Blood loss!"

Amid bursts of laughter, the atmosphere of the entire Pacers team became much more relaxed, at least much more relaxed than after they lost the third game of the series.

After relying on Lin Tian to win this game, at least the Pacers finally climbed back from the edge of the cliff.

More importantly, they have home field advantage in the next battle at Tianwang Mountain! Even if the final sixth and seventh games are held in Los Angeles, at least the Pacers now have a chance to get the match point first!

The last three games, a best-of-three duel, are about to begin!

June 2001, 6, Staples Center, Los Angeles!
The final battle of the 2000-2001 season finals, the tiebreaker, is about to start here!
One hour before the game started, fans from all walks of life in Los Angeles had already poured into the arena to warm up the team and prepare for the team's upcoming final battle!
Various sports stations have also started their own special programs 1-2 hours in advance to warm up for this finals tie-breaker that has not happened in 7 years!
After all, the last time the finals reached a tiebreaker, it dates back to the 93-94 season finals. At that time, there were still four major centers. The finals were also a head-to-head showdown between the two top centers, Olajuwon and Ewing!
Now in 2001, both Olajuwon and Ewing have retired. Although David Robinson, another of the four major centers, is in good shape, he is no longer an MVP-level player.

On the contrary, O'Neal, the youngest among the four major centers, became one of the protagonists of this tiebreaker! Kenny, the main guard of the Rockets in the tiebreaker, has now sat in the commentary box and started to explain the game.

As for Barkley, who was still making waves in the league back then, he became Kenny's partner in the commentary box! These two guys, who were very different in terms of status and position when they were playing, have actually become the ace partners in the commentary box now!

All I can say is that time flies!
"Hi! Hello friends! Welcome to continue watching the TNT special program, preview of the finals tiebreaker!" After a burst of commercials, Kenny's voice came again: "In just half an hour, we have reviewed the NBA for more than 50 years. Some of the most classic finals tiebreakers in history.”

“Then what’s next, let’s review the situation before this year’s series!”

Barkley quickly answered: "In the first four games of this series, each side captured one of the other's home courts and tied 2:2! In these four games, there were decisive kills and surprise attacks. Attack, have the ultimate showdown of superstars, and have extremely anxious moments of the game!”

"These countless wonderful scenes also help this finals to become one of the most classic finals showdowns in history!"

"And in the subsequent Tianwangshan battle, both sides did not disappoint their fans. The game was still extremely exciting and beautiful! The two sides fought all the way until the last 10 seconds of the game, and the Pacers still led by 2 points!"

"In the last 11 seconds, Kobe received the ball from the sideline and broke through Christie to get inside. Unfortunately, his layup failed to hit. The next tip-in by O'Neal was also the same! Then Brad Miller grabbed the rebound under the basket. The ball went outside the 3-point line!”

"Normally speaking, with 1 second left in the game, keeping the basketball away from the basket is an absolutely correct choice! But this ball happened to land in Horry's hands at the top of the arc!"

"Robert Horry once again showed his big heart, shooting from outside the 3-point line and hitting another wonderful decisive kill in this series!"

"100:99! The Lakers came back to win and won this extremely difficult battle at Tianwangshan on the road!"

“这场比赛，奥尼尔拿下27分18篮板3盖帽，科比25分4篮板2助攻2抢断2盖帽，决杀功臣霍里大爆发拿下18分14篮板！”

“步行者方面，韦伯20分5篮板6助攻，米勒21分3篮板4助攻，林拿下28分7篮板10助攻，可球队却输掉了这场至关重要的天王山之战！”

Kenny followed up: "Without the home court advantage, losing the battle at Tianwangshan, the Pacers were undoubtedly forced into a desperate situation! If they want to win the championship, they will face two extremely difficult and difficult games. Painful road trip!”

"And the Lakers will definitely not want to play a tiebreaker. They will definitely work together to win the game in the sixth game to avoid a long night of dreams!"

"For the Pacers, they have exhausted all their cards and urgently need someone to stand up and fight alongside Lin to win the away game for the team!"

"Fortunately, the Pacers have waited for this person! In this game, Vince Carter, who performed extremely poorly in the first five games, only scored in double figures in one game and shot only 27% from the field, finally broke out! "

“这个晚上，卡特命中了6个3分，全场比赛爆砍41分3篮板1助攻！他在被科比压制了整整5场之后，终于将科比掀翻！而林天没有辜负自己后场搭档的良好表现，他也拿下39分11篮板9助攻的准三双数据。”

"When Carter and Lin Tian scored 80 points together, there was a problem on the OK team. Although O'Neal still had no solution and scored 37 points and 14 rebounds, Kobe lost his touch and only had 21 points this night. Made 7 shots and only scored 21 points!”

"When his best partner was out of shape and only scored 21 points, and Horry and others failed to continue the magic of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, O'Neal was alone and lost the sixth game of the series!"

"91:104! The Pacers narrowly escaped death with a 13-point victory and successfully pushed the series to the tiebreaker!"

"The two sides will usher in the real final battle of the season in 20 minutes! Next, let us watch a highlight of this series to feel the intensity of both sides in this series. And that unparalleled strength!" (End of this chapter)
