NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Just play this!" Carlisle emphasized again before everyone came on stage: "Although I don't know why Lin gave this tactic such a name, and I don't know what this name means, but everyone, cheer up!"

"Let's win the game in advance tonight!"

"RUN-TMD!"

Carlisle's fierce look successfully stimulated the Pacers players. Everyone was eager to try and walked onto the court with great excitement.

The game continues!

In the Pacers' first attack, Lin Tian quickly came to the frontcourt with the ball, then waved to Webber to come forward to cover him. Then Lin Tian quickly bypassed the screen and shot from within the 3-point line!
"Shh!"

This move of jumping up and shooting directly after going around the screen is a unique skill that Lin Tian honed through his own hard practice during his college years!

With this goal, the Pacers once again expanded their lead to 9 points!
The next Lakers attack was still O'Neal challenging Big Ben in the interior. This time O'Neal predicted in time the opportunity for Webber to double-team, quickly turned towards the baseline, and then raised his hand to make a reverse layup!

The Lakers continue to chase the Pacers!
After scoring this goal, O'Neal immediately turned around and found Weber. He wanted to continue to guard Weber's baseline ball closely to prevent Weber from making a beautiful pass!
But I didn’t expect that the person who came to the baseline to serve this time was Big Ben!

Big Ben immediately picked up the basketball and went to the baseline, then he suddenly exerted force and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt with one arm!

Lin Tian had already been running towards the frontcourt when O'Neal scored the goal. The two extremely fast point guards, Parker and Arenas, beside him also ran towards the frontcourt with him without any hesitation.

"Ben's pass?" Barkley was stunned for a moment: "Who is he going to pass this ball to? The force seems a bit too strong, and the ball path is also very strange. It seems to be passed to Lin in the middle, but the ball's flying path is a bit off."

"I'm afraid this ball is going to be a mistake! Ben's pass was too hasty! It's unnecessary, totally unnecessary!"

What Barkley said is also what every Pacers fan is thinking at this moment.

They all agreed: Big Ben didn't need to pass the ball like that! This was Webber's job.

This pass was just like Ben's previous passes, completely irrelevant and no one knew who he was passing to.

The main theme is to go with the flow and be casual.

On the court, the Lakers players did not expect that Big Ben would dare to pass the ball like this. Secondly, like the fans, they could not tell who the ball was intended for.

Looking at the direction in which these Pacers players are running, it seems that everyone has a chance to catch the ball.

But it seemed like no one could catch the ball, and it might go straight out of bounds.

Are you kidding? The fans and Barkley had a bird's eye view of the overall situation, but they couldn't see who the ball was for, let alone the players on the court?
In fact, let alone others, even Lin Tian, ​​Parker and others didn't know who the ball was for.

In other words, even Ben doesn't know who can catch the ball.

He just picked a direction and then swung it with all his might!

However, Big Ben is very confident about the outcome of his pass!

This isn’t the first time he’s done this, he’s done it many times before!
Looking at all those passes, was there any time when Lin Tian didn't curse and say that what you passed was bullshit, and then caught the ball and made a beautiful dunk?

Daben thought: Lin Tian could catch it easily, he was deliberately joking with him!
Otherwise, why do the statistics show that Ben Wallace's long pass success rate is 91%? And the probability of directly converting into assists is as high as 64%?

Weber, that old bastard, is far inferior to me!
Lin Tian: Sooner or later my lungs will explode just trying to catch your pass!
Even when Lin Tian was participating in the Golden League in Europe, he had never worked so hard!

Lin Tian and Da Ben have said these words many times.

It’s okay, don’t bother with any long passes.

Just play ball honestly.

But unfortunately, Big Ben felt that Lin Tian was joking with him. He even thought that Lin Tian was taking care of Webber's face and didn't want Webber to feel inferior about passing the ball.

Anyway, Da Ben thought of all kinds of reasons, but he never felt that he really did not do a good job of spreading the word.

Back on the court, the flying angle of the basketball became more and more tricky. The basketball didn't even fly into the Lakers' three-point line, but flew towards the bottom corner.

This pass was like Beckham's free kick going straight into the blind corner of the goal!
Which good person can pass it directly in this direction from his own bottom line?

Anyway, the Lakers players couldn’t expect it, they were all stunned!
What is this?

what is this?
Before the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Lin Tian finally caught up with the basketball, then snatched the ball back. Then he passed the ball behind his back, and the basketball immediately came into the hands of Arenas on the wing not far from him.

There is no one guarding Arenas!

If there is no one defending, that's a chance to shoot!
Arenas' shots will never contain any hesitation or calmness.

Directly chase and shoot 3 points from outside the 3-point line!
"Shh!"

The Pacers finally made their first fast break since the third quarter!
"Nice pass, Lin!" Arenas excitedly stretched out his hand, made a pistol shape, and fired several shots at Lin Tian to celebrate.

"That's a nice shot!" Lin Tian and Arenas high-fived each other, and at the same time sighed in their hearts: What a sin!
Why would I invent such a tactic to make things difficult for myself?

This set of tactics, this set of RUN-TMD tactics, was really invented by Lin Tian!
As for the original intention of the invention?
punishment.

When the Pacers train within the team, there are various games.

Shooting contests, layup contests, passing contests, power play, and actual combat simulations are conducted in every training session.

In these games, there are always losers and failures.

How to punish the loser has always been a major problem for each team during training.

If the punishment is too light, it won't serve as an advisory role; if the punishment is too heavy, it's not necessary.

So, after a certain training session, Lin Tian invented a punishment measure.

Practice fast break!
The foundation of our team is the fucking fast break. If any of you don't perform well in training, then go run the fast break! At least practice your fast break skills.

And since it is a punishment, then letting Miller and Webber, who are good at passing the ball, throw it to you will not have the effect of punishment.

Thus, RUN-TMD was born!

Big Ben throws, everyone else runs!

The reason why Lin Tian did this was because he basically could not lose during training. Almost all of the time he watched his teammates accept punishment, so he was so happy when he watched.

Especially when a group of people are running so hard that their lungs are about to explode and they still have to endure the ridicule from Big Ben.

"You guys can't even catch this kind of ball? Lin can even catch the ball and do an aerial relay! You idiot! Run!"

Happy! Very happy!

However, Lin Tian could never have imagined that this thing he was playing with would actually catch the eye of Carlisle!

This guy actually carefully studied the tactics of Big Ben serving the ball from the baseline and the others running fast breaks!
He even asked a video analyst to analyze and compile statistics on the trajectory, speed, and strength of Ben's passes and the probability of different players receiving his passes and successfully completing the attack.

Anyway, when Lin Tian saw Carlisle actually carefully organizing the data and analyzing the feasibility, he was really scared.

He knew better than anyone that this thing could be used to bully others in training, but in a game, it would only bully himself.

But Carlisle was obviously not a man who liked to joke. He really incorporated this tactic into his own system. He even specifically asked Lin Tian whether he had given this move a name and adopted it!

But of course, Carlisle also knew how uncertain he was about such a thing, so he included it and used it. This was really the first time!
If Carlisle had not been forced into such a desperate situation by the Lakers and did not want to wait until the score difference was completely close or even overtaken before making passive adjustments, he would not have dared to use such a trick!

The reason for bringing this out at this time is actually because although the Pacers are in a bad situation at the moment, they still have a lead close to double digits.

You can lose a fortune if you have one!

Carlisle has thought it through. If this tactic doesn't work within 2-3 rounds, he will immediately replace Jordan and play the game seriously!

Parker and Arenas, the players he sent out at this time, are actually the two players with the highest success rate in receiving passes from Ben.

One of these two guys is fast and has good awareness, and the other is bold and dares to shoot. Combined with Ben's unpredictable passing that is like a trebuchet, it is just right!

At this moment, Carlisle, who was sitting on the bench, also waved his fist excitedly.

I knew it could work!
I knew this trick would work!
How can you, the Lakers, defend against this kind of pass when even they themselves don't know where it will fly to?

From today on, call me Tactical Genius Rick!
On the Lakers' offense, Kobe and Malone once again played a pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to Malone with a ground ball.

After receiving the ball, Malone immediately shot and made another 2-pointer from mid-range!
The scoring efficiency of both sides in this period has completely increased.

But after he made the shot, the rebound fell into Ben's hands. After Ben got the ball, he even made a fake move to give the ball to Webber and asked him to serve the ball, which tricked O'Neal into turning his head and trying to defend Webber's pass.

But as soon as he turned his head, Big Ben had already walked out of the baseline and threw the ball out with one arm again.

It was still the same weird arc and angle. This time the basketball flew fast and high enough, but there was something wrong with the line.

As soon as the basketball crossed the center line, it clearly began to slide down.

Damn falling leaf ball!

Lin Tian was a little confused at this moment.

A straight shot into a blind corner, a falling leaf shot in the air. Has Ben watched a lot of football matches recently?
Where the hell did you learn these moves?
The sudden fall of the basketball caused Lin Tian and Kobe to be squeezed together in the middle. Neither of them gave way to the other, and they jumped at the same time after aiming at the landing point of the basketball.

As the saying goes, great effort can make miracles happen!
As the saying goes: If you don't think about controlling the ball when grabbing a rebound but only think about hitting the ball away, then you will most likely be the first one to touch the basketball!
For example, Lin Tian now.

Lin Tian slapped out with one hand and threw the basketball towards the Lakers' half.

"Oh!"

After a dull sound, the basketball changed direction and accelerated again, flying towards the Lakers' three-point line.

This time it was Parker who got the ball near the free throw line, but Parker did not rush to attack after getting the ball. Instead, he suddenly passed the ball from behind to Arenas who was following up on the other side. After Arenas received the ball, he was two steps inside the three-point line.

After getting the ball, this madman did not continue to rush towards the basket. Instead, he patted the basketball and took two steps back. After he was out of the three-point line, he jumped up and shot again!

"Shh!"

There was another crisp sound, and Arenas made two consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line!

Then the Lakers attacked, Kirilenko missed the mid-range open jump shot. After Big Ben grabbed the backboard, he put the ball behind his head with both hands, and then, like throwing a javelin, he roared and threw the ball towards the front court with both hands!
"FUXX! Is this guy crazy?" As someone who has faced off against Big Ben countless times, O'Neal knows too well how strong Big Ben is. He also knows too well how far the ball can fly with Big Ben in his condition.

Must he fly to the second floor stands?

Facts have proved that O'Neal knows himself and Ben very well. It is obvious that no one can catch up with Ben's shot.

The only way to avoid turnovers is to have someone or something blocking the direction of the basketball.

On the basketball court, is there anything that can stop the ball?

Backboard!

With a dull "pop" sound, Big Ben's pass, which was packed with energy, hit the backboard, and then almost returned the same way, just in time to be caught by Lin Tian, ​​who was almost running out of energy.

"FUXX! Fuck you, RUN-TMD!" Lin Tian was full of resentment and roared, then he exerted all his strength, jumped on the spot, and then slammed his hands heavily on the basket!
"boom!"

This time, Lin Tian used all the strength he had used to punch Tyson in the boxing ring, without holding back at all!

All the strength in his body burst out at the same time. On the basketball court, he rarely has such a crazy and unreserved dunk moment.

The entire basketball hoop was pulled by Lin Tian so hard that it was obviously bent towards the ground!

After Lin Tian let go, the entire basketball hoop continued to shake, emitting screams. Lin Tian's dunk really produced the sound and light effect of a top-level inside monster!

That is to say, the basketball stands of the NBA were broken twice by the monster O'Neal at the end of the last century. For the safety of the players and the reputation of the league, Stern found the world's top team to reinforce the basketball stands.

While reinforcing, elasticity and flexibility must also be ensured, focusing on being both soft and hard!
If it hadn't gone through several reinforcements and experiments, Lin Tian's dunk would have given people the feeling that he could really break the basketball rim again!

The visual effect this time is so exaggerated!
After dunking the ball, Lin Tian excitedly pounded his chest with his fist, roaring and howling continuously!
Who cares whether he is lucky or not, who cares whether he makes a mistake in entering or exiting.

Anyway, we have to give the Lakers the illusion that this goal was a planned illusion!
"Planned? Bullshit!" Jackson cursed while sitting on the sidelines. This old man has been coaching for so many years. What kind of animals has he not seen? What kind of passing masters has he not seen?

With these passes from Ben, it's no problem to fool amateurs or idiots, but Jackson saw through this guy's passing pattern at a glance.

That's just go with the flow!
Everything depends on fate, and the main goal is to spread it to wherever it reaches.

This guy is a shitty pass!
The reason why he made these passes without mistakes was, firstly, due to his good luck, and secondly, because the Pacers players ran fast.

Didn’t you see that Jordan was replaced?

Doesn't that mean they dislike Jordan's slow legs and feet and are not worthy of receiving the pass from Ben?
Jackson cursed, he really didn't expect that Carlisle could do such a cool thing!
But this operation is really too cool!

For other players who are good at passing the ball, you can block their passing opportunities, interfere closely, block their vision, increase physical confrontation, and make it difficult for them to pass the ball in the first place. Or, you can cut off their usual passing paths based on videos, highlights, and scout reports.

But Daben...

What the hell is this interference!
People didn't pass the ball properly at all.

No matter if you are defending closely or blocking his view, he will do wonders with one powerful move and throw the ball forward. If you defend closely, he might even pass the ball more accurately...

As for cutting the passing path...

Jackson felt that Big Ben himself didn't know where his ball would go, so how could he cut it?
It is true that no move is better than a move.

While Jackson was folding his arms and thinking, Big Ben had already grabbed the rebound again, and this time he was having fun and even did something sexy.

He turned around while grabbing the rebound in the air and threw the ball towards the front court in mid-air.

The main feature is a xjb legend!
Just as Jackson thought, the Pacers players were really fast, and such a group of people could really catch up with this kind of unreliable pass and then convert it into points.

The ball was passed so erratically by Da Ben that it didn't even cross the center line and was about to go out of bounds.

Parker, who was closest to the opponent, rushed out without hesitation, intercepted the ball in the air and saved it, pushing the ball back into bounds.

Lin Tian followed closely and grabbed the basketball, then passed the ball to the other side of the sideline with one hand.

Arenas on the other side did not throw another three-pointer after getting the ball. Instead, he made a fake shot outside the three-point line to fool Fisher, then accelerated and rushed directly to the basket and made a violent slam dunk, scoring another 3 points for the team!
"Go back to defense! Everybody, give up the rebound! Don't interfere at the baseline, go back to defense immediately! Keep an eye on your own men, don't worry about the basketball or whether the ball goes in or not, stick to your own men immediately!"

"Man-to-man defense throughout the court! Slow them down!"

Seeing that Big Ben's luck was overflowing tonight and that no matter how he passed the ball, it would reach the Pacers players and turn it into points, Jackson really couldn't bear it anymore. He could only shout loudly and change strategy.

"Ben, give the ball to Chris! Let him decide the next pass and advancement, whether it's a fast break or a stable position!" Carlisle, who was off the court, also knew the principle of knowing when to stop, and shouted, "If you change, we will change tactics too!"
In the following games, the tactics of both sides tended to be conservative and stable, and the scoring efficiency and round rhythm also declined significantly. However, relying on Ben's continuous passes, the Pacers still miraculously stabilized the situation and expanded and consolidated their lead again.

At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides became 95:109!

The Pacers once again gained a 14-point advantage!

Then at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Carlisle patted Jordan on the shoulder!

After sitting on this for half a class, the new reinforcements who are full of strength are sent up!
Appearing on the court with him were Christie, Miller, Ginobili and Big Ben!
This lineup can maintain the Pacers' continuity on both offense and defense, while also allowing Lin Tian and others to get some rest time.

But the Lakers don't have such leisure.

With the team trailing by 14 points, even Jackson didn't dare let his players rest. Kobe, who played the entire first 36 minutes, and O'Neal, Kirilenko, Malone and Fisher, who played almost the entire game, played together.

Still the starting five!

Throughout the second half, Jackson did not make any substitutions even once!

Tonight's game was too important. He didn't want to and didn't dare to replace his core player no matter what.

The fourth quarter of the game turned into Jordan's personal show. He was full of energy and faced Kirilenko who had hardly rested. The game was so easy and carefree. At the same time, he regained his confidence and feeling, and challenged Kirilenko one after another in the low post!

Kirilenko also lost the brilliance of blocking Jordan continuously in the previous game. It was as if he suddenly forgot how to defend. He was beaten so painfully by Jordan that he had no power to fight back.

All I can say is, it’s not that Kirilenko’s defense is bad, it’s just that Jordan’s ability to adjust is too strong!
It only took him one day to successfully regain his rhythm and get out of the predicament of only making 16 of 3 shots in the previous game!

It was precisely because of Jordan's hot touch that when the Lakers played for a full 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, even with all their main players on the court, the Pacers' offensive firepower was still online, but they just couldn't close the score and narrow the gap!

110: 123!

With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides was still 13 points!
At this time, Carlisle no longer suppressed several main players in the team. He waved his hand and replaced Lin Tian and Webber. The Pacers once again brought out their full starting lineup!
After returning to the court, Lin Tian immediately released all the energy he had accumulated during the few minutes of rest.

After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, he did a high-post pick-and-roll with Webber, passed the ball to Webber from behind, and then ran towards the basket at high speed.

The moment he entered the three-second zone, Lin Tian jumped up, then looked back and saw that Weber's pass was just right and landed right next to Lin Tian's hands.

Lin Tian grabbed the ball with both hands, then exerted force from his waist and slammed the basketball into the basket!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian used an extremely violent aerial relay slam dunk, kicking off the prelude to the last wave of offensive frenzy!

The Lakers' offense, Kobe, O'Neal and others who had been on the court for too long were now physically exhausted, especially O'Neal. When he was playing hard in the interior, he could no longer push Big Ben away easily.

This time he could only barely squeeze out a space to shoot, then turned sideways to hook the shot, hoping to score the ball.

But this time, he had just shot the basketball when a dark shadow behind Daben rose from the ground, stretched out a big hand in the air, and slapped the ball away.

Lin Tian!

The one who can complete this kind of assisting defense at this time is of course Lin Tian, ​​the guy who has just appeared on the scene and has endless physical strength!
"Doug!"

After blocking O'Neal's hook shot with a blood cap, Lin Tian once again demonstrated the powerful strength of his legs when he landed. He hardly needed to bend his knees, but exerted force suddenly and launched another counterattack towards the front court.

Christie also passed the ball forward as soon as possible, with just the right amount of advance time, and Lin Tian rushed forward with the ball.

After getting all the way to the three-point line, Lin Tian suddenly stopped. Then, regardless of the fact that Kobe was still in front of him, or that Kobe was almost sticking to him to defend, Lin Tian just pulled up without caring about anything!
Completely irrational, almost crazy move!
Of course, in order to avoid being blocked, Lin Tian adjusted the arc of the shot and reduced the time used for the shot. Even so, the basketball almost flew past Kobe's fingertips and was nearly blocked by Kobe!

Many fans at the scene even screamed out of nervousness.

But before they could finish their exclamation, the basketball fell first.

"Shh!"

With an extremely crisp sound, Lin Tian, ​​who looked irrational at all and threw the basketball randomly, fell accurately into the net!

110: 128!

Lin Tian's consecutive 5 points after returning to the court caused the Lakers to fall behind by nearly 20 points!
With the game time running out, Lin Tian's personal attack has pushed the Lakers to the edge of the cliff!
But Lin Tian was obviously not satisfied!
We've only reached the edge of the cliff, and I'm going to kick you completely off the cliff!

In the next round, Kobe dribbled the ball into the three-point line, then withstood Christie's defense and forced a mid-range shot that finally hit the target, slightly stabilizing the situation for the Lakers.

But with Lin Tian here, who is in good form and has just entered the scoring mode, the Lakers simply cannot get any chance to breathe!
After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Lin Tian once again played pick-and-roll with Webber, but this time he did not break through or pass the ball. Instead, he quickly opened up the distance outside the three-point line. Lin Tian once again faced off against Malone!
Continuous dribbling between the legs and small changes of direction constantly adjusted Ma Long's center of gravity and defense. Then Lin Tian suddenly started, made a big change of direction and a lateral jump step to open up space, and then he shot directly again!
But this time it was exactly the opposite of the one that just shot against Kobe!
Just now, Lin Tian was as fast as he could, completing the shot at the fastest speed and throwing the ball before Kobe could pounce on him.

But this time, Lin Tian's movements were very slow, and it even made people feel that he waited for Malone before jumping and shooting.

The result of this difference in rhythm was that Malone, who wanted to block the shot, pounced directly on Lin Tian and almost knocked him to the ground!
Ma Long, whose strength had been exhausted, was obviously a little unconscious and had no control over his body at all.

"Shh!"

At the moment when Lin Tian was knocked down by Ma Long, the basketball accurately passed through the net and hit the bull's eye again!
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded, and Lin Tian made a 3+1!

"Karl Malone, pushing foul! 3 points valid, 1 free throw!"

The referee's decision made the entire Conseco Center cheer wildly, and the fans once again shouted MVP and Lin Tian's name!
They can feel that after this goal, the Pacers are getting closer and closer to their fourth consecutive championship!
With Lin Tian's steady free throw, the Pacers' lead reached 20 points!
With less than 6 minutes left in the game, it can almost be said that the outcome is already decided!

112: 132!

But the Lakers are obviously not completely desperate, they are still attacking!
After another series of passes, the basketball came into Kirilenko's hands.

Kirilenko took a mid-range shot immediately after getting the ball, but the Pacers once again seized upon his weakness of over-exposing the basketball when he shot. Jordan slapped him and directly interrupted Kirilenko's shot again!
But the basketball did not fall into Jordan's hands. Kobe, who was not far away from the two of them, quickly stepped forward and hugged the basketball.

Then he dribbled the ball one more step to the far side and adjusted his body. He didn't even have time to turn around and look at the basket. Instead, he turned his back to the basket and was about to shoot.

"Buzz!"

But he was still a little slow and failed to shoot the ball, and the 24-second timer rang first!

The Lakers were prevented from committing a 24-second violation!
"FUXX!"

The angry Kobe did not shoot the ball. Instead, he cursed and slammed the basketball heavily to the floor.

Angry, helpless, aggrieved and uncomfortable.

After this round, everyone knew that although there were still more than 5 minutes left in the game, the suspense of the game had actually completely disappeared!

The rest of the game is just garbage time to get by.

After the game had been played for another 2 minutes and the score gap showed no sign of narrowing, Jackson stopped forcing it and replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand.

The Lakers surrendered.

Then, a few minutes later, the referee finally blew the whistle, ending the game.

120: 139!

The Lakers lost the second game of the finals by 19 points!
In the two away games, they got the worst result. They were shut out by the Pacers and failed to steal a victory. Now returning to Los Angeles, the Lakers will have to fight a do-or-die battle!

If they fail to win the third game of the series and fall into the dilemma of 3:0 deficit, they will become runner-up again this year!
The Pacers have won four consecutive championships, while the Lakers have been runners-up three times in four years.

A normal person would not consider being the runner-up as an honor.

A normal person wouldn’t brag about how many runner-up titles he or she has won.

The Lakers' performance tonight was actually impeccable. They scored 120 points. Kobe and O'Neal both scored more than 35 points. Malone also scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. Although Kirilenko was not in the magical position, he still had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Even Fisher, who had the least presence among the starters, made 3 three-pointers and scored a total of 11 points!
But even so, they were still beaten badly by the Pacers.

因为林天这个晚上拿下了42分10篮板16助攻3抢断的炸裂三双数据！同时乔丹也有41分4篮板2助攻入账！

The team's two core players combined to score more than 80 points!
It would be abnormal if the Pacers didn't win this kind of game!
Besides these two, there were also three substitutes who scored 40 points again: Ginobili, Arenas and Parker! And Ben Wallace who scored 2 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks!
The Pacers really fired on all cylinders tonight, suppressing the Lakers the entire time and playing their toughest and most ferocious game of the season!
"2:0!" Barkley roared in the studio: "I think the Pacers are finally going to achieve that miracle that no one has ever been able to do!"

"They are really just one step away from winning their fourth consecutive championship!"

Kenny also said: "That's right, even if they have to play three away games in Los Angeles next, I am optimistic that they can at least win one of them!"

"It's really hard for the Lakers to win three games in a row at home! Even if they can win three games in a row, the next two key games will be played in Indiana."

"The Lakers are in great danger!" (End of this chapter)
