NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 432: Can advance or retreat, can be fast or slow!
"Then play it slowly!" Lin Tian saw the Nets quickly return to defense, and he was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he dribbled the ball to his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand to indicate that there was no rush for this ball.

But he hadn't even finished his words. Kidd even felt that this guy hadn't finished his last two words!

It doesn’t matter whether you say it or not.

It’s all a lie anyway!
Lin Tian had just shouted out his tactics when he suddenly changed direction and accelerated, dribbling towards the inside again!

This time, facing the inside line guarded by Gasol, Lin Tian used Gasol's childhood friend Navarro's favorite and most signature "bomb shot"!
The basketball passed through Gasol's fingers, went through his finger gaps, and fell straight into the basket!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Gasol was not frustrated at all. He turned quickly back to the basket and was about to serve the ball quickly, but Kidd shouted, "Don't worry! Guarantee! Don't worry!"

"Let's fight them one by one! We'll start attacking after they retreat to the backfield!"

At least Kidd has decided that this game is a battle of rhythm!

He must seize the rhythm!

He wants to make the Pacers impatient, he wants to make the Pacers lose their patience!
At the same time, he was also completely convinced that although Lin Tian was a monster and very strong, it was absolutely impossible for him to maintain this full-speed attack speed and score goals again and again during the offense-defense transition and transition periods!

Lin Tian couldn't do it! He was also a human being! After all, he had just taken a long flight and still needed to adjust to the time difference.

When Kidd pushed forward this time, he finally figured it out!

Well, he thought he had figured it out!

He felt that the reason why Lin Tian fought so hard and attacked so fiercely in the early stages was 100% because Lin Tian himself knew that his condition was not good and that he lacked physical strength. He might overdraw or collapse at any time.

Therefore, Lin Tiancai launched a crazy attack with full firepower at the beginning of the game!

Lin Tian obviously wanted to speed up the pace of the game, and then widen the score as quickly and as much as possible, so that the rhythm of the game would fall into the hands of the Pacers!
In this way, even if Lin Tian is exhausted in the second half or the fourth quarter, the Pacers will have enough capital to fight the Nets!
That's it!

Kidd felt that he completely understood Lin Tian's thoughts and was extremely proud. He felt that he was indeed the master who understood tactics and opponent's psychology best in this league!
Want to speed up the pace, widen the score, and solve problems with offense?

Daydreaming!

Watch me, Jason Kidd, show you what a true master of control is!

Then, Kidd decided to reward himself. He called for Gasol's screen, and then it was easy. Or in fact, he just needed to call for a pick-and-roll to block himself, and then he didn't have to do anything, and he would definitely get an open shot opportunity!
Who is a good person who would refuse to let Kidd shoot?

It would be best if you could throw 100 in one game!

The more he shoots, the worse the situation of his own team will definitely be!
This time was no exception. Lin Tian and Webber once again let Kidd go without hesitation and let him shoot.

Kidd also drew his bow and shot a 3-pointer!
"Shh!"

Unexpectedly, Kidd had a good touch tonight and made the first 3-pointer with just a raise of his hand!

"Lin! See? What you can do, I can do! And I can do it better than you! I'm better than you! Come on! I'm not afraid of you, let's fight it out!" Kidd was so excited after scoring the goal, he shouted that he wanted to fight with Lin Tian again!

As for Lin Tian?

"idiot!"

After leaving a simple word, Lin Tian dribbled past Kidd, bypassed him again, and rushed to the frontcourt.

The rhythm war officially begins!
In the rest of the first quarter, the two sides actually fought back and forth.

The Pacers kept launching fast breaks. In addition to Lin Tian's consecutive scores in the opening stage, Arenas, Jordan, Webber and others also scored beautiful goals.

In the first quarter, the Pacers played on individual ability, constantly shooting and advancing at extreme speeds and conditions!
Their whole team is running wildly!

As long as the team has the opportunity, they will definitely launch a counterattack!
As for the success rate?
As long as the Nets team chases back and runs as fast as they can, this tactic will be successful!
The Nets, on the other hand, used completely opposite tactics and play styles.

Positional warfare! Unless there is an absolute opportunity of 1 vs 0 in the frontcourt, Kidd will never easily initiate a fast break. All their play styles are centered on the twin towers in the interior!

Gasol's support at the free throw line and pick-and-roll at the top of the arc have become the Nets' tactics in almost every round!
At the same time, in order to protect Yao Ming from being double-teamed and to maximize his advantages, the Nets let Yao Ming rush to the inside line frantically and let him continue to crush into the three-second zone.

As long as he enters the three-second zone and is in a position where he can shoot directly after receiving the ball, the other players on the Nets will definitely not let him down. The basketball will definitely fall into Yao Ming's hands, allowing him to make it easily!
In the last 24 seconds of the first quarter, the Pacers were attacking, and Lin Tian dribbled to the frontcourt again. Then, when all the Nets players were in position, Lin Tian used the latest trick that the Pacers had just invented this year.

Lin Dan pick and roll!

Jordan stepped forward and performed a pick-and-roll with Lin Tian. It was a pick-and-roll between the two top scorers in the league. After the pick-and-roll, the two men quickly separated and then each chose a direction to attack!
To be honest, with this kind of cooperation, let alone the Nets, even if the American team came, they would be overwhelmed.

There's nothing we can do. Who made these two bastards so lethal?

For the two of them, a one-on-one means an open space, a one-on-two might require some effort, and a one-on-three can make their adrenaline secrete wildly and make them excited instantly.

And every pick-and-roll between the two of them is undoubtedly an extremely desperate experience for the opponents.

This time is no exception!
After Jordan made the pick-and-roll, he quickly moved to one side. Kidd and Carter just hesitated for a moment whether to switch or double-team, and then Jordan and Lin Tian were completely separated.

Jordan ran all the way to his favorite position on the wing, while Lin Tian took one easy step in the other direction and then just threw it!
"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian made a 3-pointer!
Although it is an absolutely empty space, it is an extremely crazy choice!

Because when there were less than 24 seconds left in this quarter, he had no intention of pressing the time, slowing down the pace, or waiting for the last offensive opportunity. He completed the attack and scored when there were 18 seconds left!

This goal was really cool and really powerful!

But that's the audience's perspective. If it's the team coach
This is a textbook example of irrational behavior and reckless investment!
They will never tolerate their players shooting such meaningless and potentially problematic heroic shots like this!

What if the shot doesn’t go in and the opponent grabs the rebound and launches a counterattack?
What if the rebound bounces very far and the opponent goes straight to a fast break and plays 1 vs 0?
They are all hidden dangers!

Again, although the coaches think that showing off in this way on the basketball court is stupid and they hate it, for the players and fans, showing off, especially at that moment, is really cool!

So cool!
For example, now in the Conseco Center, the entire stadium has been ignited, and all the fans are cheering and shouting wildly, using all their passion to cheer for this wonderful three-pointer!

Lin Tian also stretched out three fingers and poked his forehead hard, while staring at his opponent, his eyes full of provocation!

The meaning is obvious: I just don't take you seriously, and I think it doesn't matter if I give you 17-8 seconds.

If you have the ability, just use these ten seconds to score a goal!

Just fight! Just try!
Backup guard Lucios Harris quickly asked for the ball across the baseline. Facing Lin Tian's crazy pressure from the baseline, he did not force it. After taking two steps forward, he quickly passed the ball to Rodney Rogers and asked him to be responsible for the advancement.

After Rogers dribbled all the way to the frontcourt, he was very clear about how the team could play most efficiently. He quickly passed the ball to Gasol, who raised his hands high and observed the movements of his teammates at the free throw line.

Then Carter was the first to rush to Gasol and circled around him, looking ready to receive the ball and launch an attack at any time.

But after circling around Gasol, Carter did not take the ball, but went straight to the inside.

But just when Carter made a circle and cut towards the inside, Gasol suddenly passed the ball and threw it towards the basket, which was exactly the direction Carter was running.

At the same time, Rogers didn't know when he appeared in front of Carter. After the two of them set an off-ball screen, Jordan was blocked behind Rogers, and the basketball successfully fell into Carter's hands!
Seeing that Carter was going to attack the basket directly, Big Ben had to temporarily let go of the backup center Aaron Williams behind him, and took a step forward while raising his hands high. He not only wanted to block Carter's breakthrough, but also prevent Carter from easily passing the ball to Williams.

But Carter has played for so many years after all, and he has always been surrounded by the league's top point guards. Although his assists data is not many, his passing ability should not be underestimated.

The basketball flew out smoothly, cleverly dodged Big Ben's fingertips, and flew directly behind him.

"boom!"

Then there was a loud bang coming from behind Big Ben. Without looking, you knew it was Williams who scored a dunk!
Standard Nets offense!

High and low post, cutting, off-ball screen, free throw line support and the final alley-oop slam dunk!

Even though the Nets did not have all their main players on the court at the moment, but only a rotation lineup, the whole process was still smooth without any hiccups.

At the same time, in this attack, they hardly did any dribbling except for advancing. It was definitely a textbook-level wonderful cooperation!
I'm afraid the Nets are the only team in the league that plays like this!

After the Nets made this shot, the Pacers still had 1.5 seconds left to attack. Although Big Ben was a little depressed because of the overhead pass, he will never forget what he should do on the court.

He quickly picked up the basketball and yelled, "Lin!"

Then the basketball flew towards the front court like a cannonball!
If the ball passed by Webber is like a missile with a cruise positioning system, precise landing point and extremely small error, then Ben's pass is like pressing the launch button with eyes closed, and then a series of "bang bang bang" shots are fired forward like a cannonball shooting at birds.

When Webber passes the ball, Lin Tian only needs to run at his own pace, and by the time he is in place, the basketball will definitely be in place.

But Big Ben's pass was really challenging the speed limit of 'the fastest legend of mankind'!

You have to run as fast as you can!

For example, this time, Lin Tian really accelerated like crazy, and he almost rushed behind the backboard before he could barely hold the basketball.

But due to inertia, even with Lin Tian's core strength, it is impossible for him to stop directly without any buffer after a full-speed impact.

When Lin Tian got the ball, he could only jump with all his strength, then turn around in the air to observe the situation on the court.

Jordan was closely guarded by Kittles, Arenas was too far outside the three-point line, and the time was basically up when the ball was given to him.

Lin Tian has only one choice!
He threw the ball high into the sky from behind the backboard. The basketball immediately drew a beautiful arc, then went around the backboard and then fell vertically.

"Buzz!"

The first quarter is over!
"Shh!"

Then there was a crisp sound, and Lin Tian threw the ball from behind the backboard casually, and the basketball fell directly into the basket like a bomb, causing the Conseco Arena to explode again!
"Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Fuck New Jersey!"

"Send these country bumpkins who call themselves New Yorkers back to their country!"

"Even if Lin takes a 5-kilometer flight, he can still beat you to pieces with his eyes closed!"

"Even if Ben passes the ball to Lin, he can finish it!"

"Arrogant? Arrogant? Our Lin is capable of that! If you are envious, jealous, or resentful, then let your favorite star do the same!"

Barkley clenched his fist and shouted, "Good shot! Beautiful! Lin really is always able to bring us some unexpected surprises! This shot is definitely one of the most amazing buzzer-beaters I have ever seen!"

"It was so freehand and imaginative! The moment Lin received the ball, I thought the Pacers were going to make a turnover. I also want to say that Lin's decision not to randomly pass the ball at this time and not to leave any time for the Nets was a very smart choice and a unique judgment of a top point guard."

"But I really didn't expect that Lin would give us such a big surprise!"

"Lin is really like an artist!" Kenny followed up, "He is not playing basketball on the court, but completing a piece of work, his own work! He really never disappoints his fans!"

What Kenny said is actually very right! Lin Tian never lets his fans down. He will give his fans confidence time and time again and bring them a perfect experience!

But he would make his haters suffer and despair time and time again!

For example, this evening, when the haters were ready to celebrate and ready to pop open champagne so that they could criticize Lin Tian for a month, Lin Tian's performance in the first quarter tonight was so perfect that it was simply unbelievable.

11投7中，其中3分球3投2中，罚球3罚全中，单节拿下19分3篮板4助攻1抢断，并且没有哪怕一次失误！
While being efficient and stable, the output is also incredibly high! Lin Tian's performance in this section is absolutely perfect!
It was under Lin Tian's leadership that the Pacers maintained their lead at the end of the first quarter.

27:31!
The Pacers are temporarily leading the Nets by 4 points!
After seeing Lin Tian’s performance in the first quarter, many of Lin Tian’s black fans who know him very well already want to turn off the TV.

They knew that tonight's game might be another career night for Lin Tian.

But they were a little reluctant to turn it off, because this game was so exciting that it was visible to the naked eye!

If they turn it off, they will really miss a lot of wonderful moments.

It’s better not to watch this kind of competition.

But you watched it, but only watched half of it?
That would be really difficult.

How could someone who truly loves basketball give up watching this kind of game?
Then, countless people had exactly the same idea at this time.

"This guy is definitely a wimp. He won't be able to hold on for too long. His stamina and condition definitely can't sustain the entire game. He will become exhausted and his stamina will drop rapidly. He will start missing shots, making mistakes and causing the team to lose!"

"It will definitely be a disaster!"

In the second quarter, both sides began to rotate personnel. Lin Tian, ​​who played the entire first quarter for the Pacers, went to rest, and Jordan continued the game with Parker, Ginobili, Christie and Miller.

On the Nets side, Carter and Gasol, two core players who played the entire first quarter, went down, while Yao Ming, Kidd and Kittles continued to fight with Harris and Williams!
The rotation lineups of both sides naturally still continue their respective styles!

The Pacers are still attacking frantically. Even though Lin Tian is not there, they still have Jordan in their lineup!

In addition, Parker, Ginobili and others are also excellent offensive and advancing masters, and their offensive speed has not decreased at all.

As for the Nets, as long as Kidd is on the court, their offensive rhythm will not have any major problems. Although Gasol's support is missing, the Nets still played a very stable and reasonable offense around Kidd and Yao Ming.

In the first half of the second quarter, although the coaches of both sides kept changing players according to the situation on the field, no matter how they changed, there was no change in the strategies and playing styles of both sides.

Their core purpose will not change!

Both sides wanted to control the rhythm tonight and bring the other side into their own rhythm. They were also determined to play in their own way.

But both sides have top commanders in their teams. As long as Lin Tian and Kidd do not lose their reason and calm, it will be very difficult for them to completely control the rhythm!

At least, throughout the second and third quarters, neither side was able to completely bring the opponent into their own rhythm. Also, because the opponent did not follow suit, their own tactics became somewhat awkward.

After all, there are always a few rounds when you can’t help but follow your opponent’s rhythm!

Under this circumstance, neither side was able to widen the score gap, and the scores between the two sides were always close. Until the last 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was still only 5 points!
101: 106!

The Pacers are currently 5 points ahead!
At this point in the game, Lin Tian has already achieved a very nice near triple-double: 31 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals!

The same went for Kidd on the opposite side, who also had a near triple-double: 13 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals!

It is also worth mentioning that these two top guards in the league have not made even a single mistake so far tonight!
A true head-to-head showdown between top defenders!
"Boom!"

Jordan was one of the core players on both teams who performed poorly tonight. He has only made 20 of 8 shots so far and scored only 23 points. His missed shot with 1 minute and 54 seconds left in the game gave the Nets a chance to close the score!

Kidd grabbed the backboard, then swung the ball towards the front court with one arm, sending the basketball directly to the front court!

Carter, who was already used to fast running, grabbed the basketball and dribbled all the way. After shaking off Christie who was defending him, before Lin Tian caught up with him, this guy had already jumped up from the ground and dunked the ball with one arm!
103: 106!

The gap between the two sides has narrowed to just one goal!

At the same time, Kidd also got his 10th assist and 10th rebound as he wished, and achieved his triple-double mission tonight!

"Don't worry! Let's take it slow and steady!"

Lin Tian, ​​who had been pushing the ball like crazy in the first 46 minutes, suddenly slowed down at this time. He dribbled slowly to the frontcourt, signaled his teammates to move quickly, and then he passed the ball to Webber at the free throw line.

Now, it's the Pacers' turn to play high and low post and free throw line to support this move!

However, the Pacers' move is somewhat different from that of the Nets.

The Nets' high and low post cores are Yao Ming and Gasol.

But the core of the Pacers is Jordan and Lin Tian!

When Webber got the ball at the free throw line, these two guys had already taken their positions on the left and right. They both turned their backs to the basket to get the ball, attracting the attention of the Nets.

Just when the Nets were gathering heavy troops to defend in these two directions, Webber suddenly turned around and dribbled the ball very smoothly. Instead of passing the ball, he dribbled past Gasol and went straight to the basket!
Facing the Nets' empty defense in the interior, Webber jumped up and dunked!

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, the Pacers once again widened the gap to 5 points!
This is another special feature of the Pacers' free throw line coordination: although Webber's scoring data has declined significantly, the team does not need him to attack! If he wants to attack himself, he will still be the most offensive power forward in the league!
"Run!" This time, Kidd once again chose to advance quickly. The team's baseline ball was sent out at the first time. Kidd dribbled all the way. Facing Lin Tian's defense, it was indeed difficult for Kidd to complete a shot and score.

But after he made his way to the frontcourt, he suddenly passed the ball from behind without looking at anyone, and threw the basketball from behind into the 3-second zone. Kittles, who cut here, easily took the ball and jumped, completing a slam dunk!
Then, the Pacers slowed down again!
This time, Lin Tian didn't even dribble the ball forward. Instead, he waited for the Nets to retreat to their own half of the court. Then he let Webber pass the ball, and then let the basketball roll slowly on the floor. Lin Tian followed the basketball leisurely, walking slowly all the way.

Not until the ball passed the midfield did Lin Tiancai lift the ball and start organizing the attack!
Lin Tian took his time to control the pace, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Then when there were only 9 seconds left in the offensive time, Lin Tian started!

This time, it was Da Ben who stepped forward to cover Lin Tian!

After the two of them provided a cover at a high position, Big Ben desperately grabbed Kidd's body and pushed him away.

At the same time, with Lin Tian's shooting range and scoring ability, he could score directly if he was a step slower. The Nets certainly didn't dare to let Yao Ming retreat to defend, as that would be no different from directly giving Lin Tian 3 points.

So Yao Ming could only grit his teeth and step forward to defend, stretching out his arms to cover Lin Tian’s shooting space.

I have to say, with such a 226 cm tall guy standing in front of me, it really feels like he is blocking out the sky and the sun, and I can't even see the basket.

It is really difficult to force a 3-pointer under Yao Ming's defense.

But, is it necessary for Lin Tian to see the basket?
Obviously not!

The team is leading and not behind, so there is absolutely no need for Lin Tian to shoot a three-pointer!

With a bend of his waist and a hit of the ball, Lin Tian suddenly accelerated and flashed past Yao Ming in the blink of an eye, rushing directly to the basket!

Chase?
Yao Ming didn't even have time to turn around, let alone chase. The only part he could turn was his neck.

Gasol had no choice but to take a step forward and open his arms to interfere.

But Lin Tian suddenly passed the basketball to him from behind!
Gasol thought Lin Tian was going to pass the ball from behind, so he quickly moved another step to defend Webber who he had let go.

But the next moment, the basketball miraculously returned to Lin Tian.

Then Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and made a layup, scoring another 2 points!
"Oh oh oh! What did I see just now! The camera was shaking! Did you notice it? Did you notice it? When Lin was making a fake move, the camera on the scene was shaking very obviously!"

"They were fooled by Lin!"

Barkley was dancing and gesticulating as he spoke, imitating Lin Tian's fake back. His excited look really made people feel that he had made the move himself!
Kenny once again played the role of calming Barkley: "Okay, Charles, calm down. This is not the first time we have seen Lin do something similar. You have to stay calm! Because if you don't calm down, the Nets will catch up with the score!"

Well, the Nets' offense is once again very fast!
This time it was Carter who dribbled forward, then came to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Kidd. Kidd passed it directly to the corner without even looking at it. Kittles took the ball and threw it directly. The 3-pointer flew through the air and went into the basket!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Nets narrowed the gap to 2 points!
108: 110!

At the same time, time has come to the last minute!

Carlisle glanced at Lin Tian and nodded, without calling a timeout. The game was left to the players to complete!
The decisive battle continues!

Lin Tian was still neither hurried nor slow. He slowly moved the ball across the front court and waited for time to pass.

As the leading party, Lin Tian began to press the time!
Then there were the last 8 seconds of the attack time, and Lin Tian suddenly accelerated!
This time he did not call for cover, and Kidd, who was fully focused, did not get thrown off. Instead, he gritted his teeth and kept up with Lin Tian, ​​sticking to Lin Tian and not giving him the chance to easily break through and shoot!

When Lin Tian made his way to the edge of the 3-second zone, Yao Ming had already taken a step forward and opened his hand to disrupt Lin Tian's attack.

But the moment Lin Tian saw Dayao coming forward, he suddenly threw the ball in his hand towards the basket!

No, not the basket, the backboard!

Because Lin Tian didn't jump or aim for this shot, and his shooting posture was also weird, this shot should have been an aerial relay!
But that’s not right!

Dayao couldn't help but look back again, and sure enough, just as he thought, there was no one at the basket or at the baseline, no matter if he had already arrived or was cutting to the basket!
No Pacers player is chasing this ball!
A mistake?
of course not?

"Snapped!"

Just when Da Yao was trying to figure out what was going on, the basketball hit the backboard. At this point, the basketball was still a million miles away from the basket! It was way off, not to mention going in!

But just as Yao Ming reached out to grab the rebound, he suddenly felt a weight behind him and his eyes went dark. A body jumped up from behind him and pressed on him.

Lin Tian!

While suppressing Yao Ming, Lin Tian's super long arms suddenly stretched out and grabbed the rebound before Yao Ming. Then, while he was still in the air, Lin Tian exerted force again and smashed the ball directly into the basket!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian completed a stunning dunk by himself!

More importantly, this time he shot the ball from the highest height in the league!
The 226-cm-tall Yao Ming had absolutely no power to resist in front of Lin Tian!

Lin Tian easily pinned him down and completed this self-throw and dunk!
The fans at the scene, of course, gave their support crazily once again, with huge cheers and shouts.

But the Nets didn’t care how exciting this ball was, nor did they care that Lin Tian completed his triple-double with this rebound. They launched a quick attack again amid the cheers of the fans!

Kidd dribbled the ball all the way, stood one meter outside the three-point line under Lin Tian's defense, and then raised his hand for a fake shot.

Lin Tian was not fooled. He also raised his hands to block all the space for Kidd to attack.

Fortunately, Carter approached quickly at this time. He took the basketball that Kidd could no longer handle, and then used Kidd's screen to block Jordan and Lin Tian, ​​and took a long 3-point shot from 2 steps outside the 3-point line!
You have Lin Dan pick-and-roll, and we also have Vince Kidd's connection!
"Shh!"

The super long three-pointer that once belonged only to the Indiana players has become a sword that pierces the Indiana defense at this moment!
After Carter made the key 3-pointer, the gap between the two sides was narrowed again, with only 1 point left!
111: 112!

There are only 35 seconds left in the game!
"Don't worry! We are leading!" Lin Tian gestured again for everyone to calm down. There was no need to worry. The Pacers did not call a timeout, but directly served the ball and advanced.

"The last two minutes of tonight's game were really exciting!" Kenny took advantage of the short time when Lin Tian was slowly advancing and quickly analyzed: "The Pacers and the Nets switched offense and defense, a reversal of the two poles!"

"The Pacers, who mainly play fast offense and offense-defense transition, kept the tempo extremely low in the final moments, slowing down the pace and playing one by one."

"The Nets, who had been playing a positional battle the entire game, pushed the tempo to the extreme. They almost abandoned the twin towers in the interior and completed multiple attacks without waiting for them to get into position!"

Barkley followed up, "That's right! Not only did both sides change their offensive rhythm and offensive mode, but their success rates were also terrifyingly high!"

"These two top point guards really taught fans and players around the world a good lesson tonight!"
