NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Is it height or speed? Who will have the upper hand in the last two minutes of the third quarter?"

After the players from both teams walked onto the court, Kenny asked, "After this timeout, will there be any changes that will directly reverse the entire game situation? Can the two teams use this rotation time to determine the winner?"

As soon as Kenny finished speaking, Barkley said, "Detroit will win!"

No matter who wins or loses between the Pacers and the Pistons tonight, one thing is foreseeable: Barkley will definitely receive a lot of complaint letters after the game.

Detroit people are absolutely going to complain like crazy about him.

It's too much!

The first offensive ball after the timeout belonged to the Pacers. The Pacers passed the ball to Lin Tian from the center line. Lin Tian quickly moved to the top of the arc with the ball, then opened his hands quickly, signaling Haslem to come forward to cover him.

He is going to hit Campbell out of position!
In his prime, Campbell once averaged 15+9 points per game, and was the Lakers' main center before O'Neal came to the Lakers, but that was almost 10 years ago.

Now, Campbell, who is about to turn 37, is left with only a height of 211 cm and a relatively soft touch.

The remaining?
Anyway, facing Lin Tian, ​​he couldn't even get any of Lin Tian's tail gas. Lin Tian used a screen to avoid Sura who was defending him, then accelerated and charged forward, leaving Campbell completely behind in one step, and reached the basket in the blink of an eye!

Even when Lin Tian was near the free throw line, Campbell turned around outside the three-point line and went up to defend?
Forget it! He was able to give way to Hamilton in the first place and did not block Hamilton's route to chase Lin Tian, ​​even though he was experienced and reacted quickly!

Campbell's huge lack of mobility also meant that the other Pistons players had no time to fill the defensive gaps he left behind. The Pistons' solid defense in the first three quarters finally had a huge hole.

Rashid under the basket had no choice. He certainly couldn't just watch Lin Tian shoot in an open position. He could only step forward and open his arms to defend Lin Tian, ​​but Lin Tian had already thrown the ball out, aiming right behind Rashid.

"boom!"

Then, there was a loud bang behind Rashid!
Without looking, you can tell that it was the 'beast' that fell from the sky and completed an aerial relay with Lin Tian!

"Beautiful!" Barkley finally couldn't hold back and shouted out loud, but just as Kenny looked at him with a smirk and a look that said 'you finally can't hold it back', Barkley quickly changed his direction.

"But this goal is only temporary. The Pistons still have a height advantage that cannot be ignored. They still have a very obvious advantage. The victory of this game will definitely belong to the Pistons!"

What could Kenny do after hearing Barkley's shameless words? He really wanted to pick up a chair and smash Barkley's annoying bald head, but unfortunately, this was a live broadcast of the game and he couldn't do it. He could only roll his eyes and then made up his mind that he would never talk to Barkley again in this series!
On the court, the Pistons' offense this time fell into Campbell's hands.

This is also Brown's style.

Make the most of everything!

Since he was on the court, he had to play to his strengths and show his strengths! Otherwise, he would always be chased and beaten by Lin Tian, ​​so why did he go on the court? Was he giving Lin Tian a benefit?

But Brown obviously overestimated the 37-year-old Campbell's current strength and energy. This guy has long lost his glory. In an occasion like tonight, after Campbell got the ball with his back to the basket, he couldn't push off Haslem who was already angry behind him.

He pushed in twice, but Haslem didn't move at all!

Just when he wanted to try for the third time, there was no chance!

Lin Tian had already rushed out, provided assistance in defense, and then slapped the ball away from Campbell!

After getting the ball, Lin Tian didn't dribble it himself. Instead, he pushed it forward with both hands. The basketball slid out a beautiful arc, passed over almost everyone's heads, and flew across the midfield.

Now, Parker, who is the fastest person on the court except Lin Tian, ​​took the lead, jumped out of the crowd, and got the basketball in front of everyone. After that, he ran all the way to the basket and completed a one-handed layup, getting 2 points for the Pacers!
"7 points! The Pacers' lead has reached 7 points! This is their biggest lead tonight! It is also the first time tonight that the difference between the two teams has exceeded 5 points!"

"This advantage is absolutely huge! Brown's adjustment this time can be said to be a complete failure! Campbell's offense and defense completely dragged the team down! Let's see if Brown will change the formation again... No change! Brown didn't make any substitutions or pause! The game continues!"

It was still the Pistons' offense, in the last 1 minute and 20 seconds. They were more patient this time. The basketball was passed back and forth among everyone. Campbell even went directly to the high position to screen for his teammates. He understood it in just that one round.

I can't beat Haslem!
Near the free throw line, Ham, with the help of Campbell's screen, suddenly turned and ran back, rushing towards the basket! This counter-run was extremely sudden, and the angle and timing were just right. Howard was blocked by Campbell and couldn't rush through at all.

"Run to the front court!" Howard was just trying to squeeze past Campbell and rush to the inside, but in the blink of an eye he heard Lin Tian's words. Relying on the absolute trust and obedience cultivated over the past year, Howard didn't even think about why he had to run forward now, but turned around and accelerated.

The main feature is the strong execution!

Ham attacked the basket and received the pass from Sura. Just as he was about to attack the basket again as he did in the previous half, Lin Tian, ​​who had just reminded Howard how to play, was already in position to provide assistance!

He rushed out from the side and slapped the ball that Ham was about to layup onto the backboard in advance.

Then Lin Tian quickly jumped twice. Before most people on the court could even react, Lin Tian had already grabbed the basketball in the air, and using his waist to exert force, he threw the basketball towards the front court again!

This time, the one who got the ball was Howard who had just obeyed and was about to leave!
And this time, the Pistons' defense failed to keep up!
One reason is that they focused too much on Lin Tian and did not pay attention to Howard's positioning. Another reason is that the mobility of the Pistons' lineup is really not worth mentioning.

They couldn't keep up with the Pacers, and had no way to deal with the extremely crazy fast breaks that the Pacers launched in the past two rounds.

I can only watch, what else can I do?
"boom!"

This time there was a loud bang, Howard glided up and jumped, and dunked with one hand to score 2 points again!
9 points!

In the past minute, the Pistons were beaten 1:6 by the Pacers!

"Substitution? After being beaten by the Pacers for three games in a row, will the Pistons make a substitution? I really think Brown should make a substitution! He shouldn't be so stubborn and shouldn't insist on the big man lineup anymore!"

"If the team's inside attack power is insufficient, then the so-called big-man lineup is just for show! Brown's big-man lineup is the exact opposite of the Pacers' small-man lineup! Because the Pacers' five small players can fully utilize their advantages in mobility and speed!"

"Still not substituting. Oh my God! Is Brown asleep? Why not substituting? Does he have to wait until the Pacers extend their lead to more than 10 points before he is willing to substitut?"

No one can explain why the Pistons didn't make a substitution, but at least this time, the Pistons' offense was in the right hands.

Hamilton held the ball and made a pick-and-roll with Rashid. Then the two quickly separated and Rashid retreated outside the three-point line. Hamilton did not force his way to the basket, but turned around quickly and passed the ball to Rashid.

The defender who switched to Rashid at this moment was Parker. The height difference of almost 30 centimeters between the two allowed Rashid to ignore Parker's defense. He easily received the ball, raised his hand, and shot a 3-pointer!

"Boom!"

But unfortunately, this shot, which was almost no different from an open shot, missed!

Not only did he fail to make the shot, but the rebound was once again caught by Lin Tian. Lin Tian held the basketball in mid-air, and once again chose to exert force from his waist before he hit the ground, and threw the basketball towards the front court!
The same trick, used for the third time!
But the Pistons are the Pistons after all. Even if Brown reacted a little slowly and did not make a substitution in time, the discipline and defensive desire engraved in the Pistons' bones will not be reduced because of this.

At least this time, after Parker received the ball in the frontcourt, he had no chance to attack.

Three Pistons players have already retreated to the defensive position!

Parker wouldn't dare to do something like 1 vs 3.

In the entire Pacers team, only one person dares to do so.

"Tony!"

Seeing Parker dribbling the ball and stopping outside the three-point line, as if he wanted to take it slow and steady, Lin Tian immediately yelled at him.

Parker looked back and found that Lin Tian had actually crossed the three-point line and was standing next to him.

Parker didn't hesitate and passed the ball to Lin Tian immediately.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he had no intention of stopping. He even accelerated again. With a speed so fast that it was unbelievable, he rushed past Sura in the blink of an eye and reached the free throw line in one step.

Facing Rashid and Hamilton who were rushing towards him quickly, Lin Tian was certainly not afraid, nor did he hesitate. He jumped directly on the free throw line and took another mid-range jump shot!
"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, the Pacers finally widened the score gap to double digits!
After the timeout, the Pacers launched an 8:0 offensive frenzy!
They successfully widened the gap to 11 points!
The score between the two sides became 69:80!

The Pacers' advantage is gradually becoming clear!

There are still 40 seconds left in the third quarter!
At this point, no matter how slow Brown's reaction was, how stubborn his personality was, or how much he trusted the big guy, he didn't dare to hold on like this any longer. If he continued to hold on, he might be completely left behind by the Pacers!
Billups and Big Ben only rested for less than 90 seconds before they had to go back into the game, replacing Campbell and Sura.

The Pistons' main players are back again.

But unfortunately, Brown's reaction was too slow. At this moment, the Pacers have once again ignited their fighting spirit because of the climax just now!
They were more active on defense! Even Parker, who was not very good at defense, stuck to Hamilton tightly, allowing Hamilton to run left and right, but he could not get a chance to catch the ball and shoot.

Billups was once again put in a difficult position by Lin Tian and was completely unable to organize the team's offense!

Fortunately, the Pistons' two defensive walls were really hard and thick. The two Wallaces were brought to the inside at the same time, providing a high double screen for Billups!

The Pistons had never used this high-post double screen before. It suddenly appeared this time and the Pacers were not well prepared. Lin Tian was sandwiched between two big men, while Haslem and Artest failed to keep up in time and were a little slow.

Billups immediately got a huge open shooting opportunity outside the three-point line!

'Mr. Clutch' Billups certainly would not show mercy at this time. After stabilizing himself a little, Billups shot from outside the three-point line and made another three-point shot!
"Boom!"

It’s a pity that Billups missed the absolutely open 3-pointer this time!
Artest immediately turned around and grabbed the rebound, then this guy started to attack directly, dribbling the ball and quickly advancing to the frontcourt!
The fact that Artest didn't look for Lin Tian right away, and didn't even give the ball to Parker, really made the Pistons slow to react. They didn't finally get close to this unpredictable "beast" until Artest passed half court. But how could they easily stop Artest who was already running at full speed?
Maybe he's not fast enough, but he's heavy enough!

He was like a steamroller, crushing Ham in front of him all the way towards the basket.

However, Artest's ability to break through and face the basket is indeed a little lacking.

Although Ham was completely unable to hold on to him, this guy also didn't maintain his center of gravity very well. He stumbled all the way and was about to make a mistake.

"Ron! Bottom line!"

When Artest was about to fall, Lin Tian suddenly shouted loudly to remind Artest of his position.

Artest felt like he had met a savior. He dared not stick to the ball and just threw it out towards the source of the sound.

Lin Tian in the left corner held the basketball and raised it up for a fake shot. Billups, who was just chasing him, was immediately shaken up by Lin Tian and flew directly out of the baseline.

Lin Tian took the opportunity to pat the basketball again to adjust his center of gravity, then pulled up decisively and shot another three-pointer!

"Shh!"

This time, Lin Tian’s three-pointer was an accurate hit!

This is what Kenny just said about luck!

What Lin Tian and Billups just did were both wide-open shots in the absolute sense. Lin Tian and Billups are both top shooters.

But in the same situation, Billups' wide open shot bounced out of the basket, but Lin Tian's three-pointer went through the net. The Pistons could have narrowed the gap to 8 points, but with such a tiny difference, the difference between the two sides reached 14 points!
One inside and one outside, that’s 6 points!
The Pistons really suffered a big loss!
After Lin Tian made this shot, there were only 8 seconds left in the third quarter!
Lin Tian immediately shouted:

“找自己的人！给他们施加压力！1-3-1！打一个1-3-1！”

The full-court press tactics that Lin Tian called out were perfectly executed in an instant. Every member of the Pacers team found his position, kept a close eye on his opponent, and directly raised his defensive concentration to the highest level.

As for Lin Tian, ​​he once again entangled with Billups, not giving him any chance or space to receive the ball.

Time passed quickly, the 5-second serve time was gone in a flash, and the Pistons were about to make a mistake.

Unfortunately, the Pistons' timeouts had run out at this time, and they were unable to regroup through the timeouts.

"Ben, pass the ball!" Brown was also anxious. Seeing that he was about to commit a five-second violation, the coach yelled, "Pass the ball in the most comfortable way for you! It's not your fault if there is a mistake. It can't be five seconds!"

Brown's voice made Big Ben's eyes light up!
He thought of the most comfortable way to pass the ball. Last season, Carlisle said this trick was the Pacers' secret weapon!

"Chauncey, run!" Big Ben suddenly yelled at Billups who was running outside the three-point line, and then threw the ball in his hand towards the front court like a bomb!
"FUXX! What are you doing? You fucking bastard..." Billups knew it was bad after just one look at the speed of the basketball. He cursed wildly while speeding up as fast as he could, trying to catch up with the basketball.

But unfortunately, the one defending him was Lin Tian. How could he compete with Lin Tian in speed?

Even if you use Bolt, it may not work, so how about using Billups?

Then why not play?

Billups almost watched Lin Tian get away from him, surpass him, and then leave him far behind.

He really can't catch up.

A feeling of helplessness and despair swept through Billups' body.

What could he do? He could only watch.

Not to mention, the position where Lin Tian got the ball was really quite good, only one step away from the 3-second zone. With Lin Tian's physical fitness, he didn't even need to dribble. After receiving the ball, he could just take three steps and dunk!
But unfortunately, it can’t be deducted!
It was such a comfortable pass, but Lin Tian could only suppress the desire to dunk directly after getting the ball, then turned around and dribbled towards the frontcourt.

At this moment, Lin Tian had only one idea.

Big Ben's passing has improved!

If it were in the past, I would have had to risk my life to barely catch up with this ball. It would have been good enough if I could control my center of gravity within the bounds and not fall out of bounds. It would have been impossible for me to hold the ball and dunk directly after a confrontation with others like I do now.

What a pity!

No one on the Pistons is worthy of Ben's passes.

At the same time, Lin Tian, ​​who received the pass, suddenly had a strange idea.

The basketball in my arms was like the goddess of victory that had just crawled into my bed overnight.

Won!
"FUXX!" Brown was so angry that he smashed the tactical board to the ground. He was really angry.

This Ben, what he passed was a piece of shit! Does this bastard think he is still a player of the Pacers?

You're playing me, right?
But after smashing the tactical board, Brown soon discovered that he had smashed it too early.

The third quarter of the game will not end because of a steal.

Lin Tian dribbled the ball and collided with Billups again. He made his way to the Pistons' three-point line and suddenly stopped. Then Lin Tian turned sideways and pushed Billups with his shoulder, then turned around quickly to distance himself.

Billups never thought that Lin Tian could use this kind of turning technique outside the three-point line, and turn away from the basket. Lin Tian's counterintuitive turn completely threw Billups away and immediately widened the distance.

Then Lin Tian looked up at the timer, paused for a moment, let a few tenths of a second pass, and then he took a leisurely shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"

"Buzz!"

These two sounds ringing at the same time were enough to throw the entire Indiana into a carnival!

Enough to make every Indiana raise their arms and celebrate victory!

69: 86!

The Pacers' lead has reached an incredible 17 points! Just two minutes ago, they were only leading by 3 points.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, the Pacers went on a crazy 14:0 run!

Lin Tian's two consecutive three-pointers in the last 10 seconds directly pushed the Pistons into the abyss!
In the last game, the Pacers were able to reverse the game even though they were 18 points behind in the fourth quarter. Tonight, they were leading by 17 points entering the fourth quarter.

How can we lose this kind of game?

impossible!
You can definitely open the champagne and celebrate in advance, and congratulate the Pacers in advance for entering the seventh game!

Lin and his team did it!

Despite being in a desperate situation with a 1:3 deficit, they won two games in a row and dragged the series into the final tie-break!

Although the Game 7 will be played on the road, and although the duel will be held at the Palace of Auburn Hills, one of the most dangerous away games in the league, all those who support the Pacers are now extremely confident!

They have the confidence, they believe in their team and they can definitely carry out the miracle!
Those who laughed when the Pacers were trailing 1:3, and those who sneered when the Pacers only got 43 wins but Lin Tian clamored to win the championship, all remained silent at this time.

The energy that Lin Tian and the Pacers unleashed is really a bit scary!
And in the fourth quarter, Lin Tian did not play!
He finally got a break!

At this time, Carlisle was absolutely confident!

With the Pistons' limited offensive capabilities, if their own players were to go all out on defense, it would be a challenge for them to score 17 points in a quarter, and they still wanted to turn the tables? Absolutely impossible!

Even Carlisle has already thought about it. As long as the score difference does not narrow to within 10 points, he will not let Lin Tian play again!
He wanted to let Lin Tian rest as much as possible so that he could prepare for the seventh game of the series in the best condition!
This time, the rest of the Pacers players held on!

After Lin Tian left the court, they did not collapse and be blown away by the Pistons like they did in the regular season.

On the defensive end, they continued their toughness and ferocity from the first three quarters. Although they did not have many methods on the offensive end, Parker's breakthroughs and Artest's strong shots were successful time and again.

Although the Pistons were narrowing the gap, their efficiency and speed were extremely low.

There is no way. They themselves are not good at offense. When facing a huge score difference of nearly 20 points and an opponent who is defending desperately, the Pistons really don’t have many methods!

But even so, the Pistons, with all their main players playing, gradually narrowed the gap. With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, relying on Hamilton's signature mid-range jump shot, the Pistons successfully narrowed the gap to 11 points!
"Lin, get ready to play!" Although Carlisle wanted Lin Tian to rest, he also knew that the most important thing tonight was to be safe rather than act arrogantly.

So after the Pistons closed the gap to about 10 points, the first thing he did was to let Lin Tian prepare.

But then the situation on the court suddenly changed again!
Parker exploded!
When this guy saw Lin Tian standing up, he knew that Lin Tian was most likely going to replace him, so it seemed as if he wanted to use this last time to release all his energy.

This guy came to the frontcourt and called Haslem, then rushed to the basket and made a layup.

Then he desperately defended Billups' breakthrough layup. On the offensive end, this guy called for Haslem's screen again. After rushing to the mid-range, he passed the ball to Haslem. Haslem received the ball and made a jump shot from mid-range!
The gap that was about to be narrowed to within 10 points was once again reached 15 points!
After scoring in two consecutive rounds, Parker looked back and found that Lin Tian was already sitting on the bench.

"Tony can handle it tonight!" Lin Tian was extremely calm and said to Carlisle: "I don't think I need to go tonight."

While Lin Tian was speaking, Parker had once again defended against Billups' attack, then received the pass, launched a counterattack, and made his way to the Pistons' basket, using his signature turnaround to score another 2 points for the team!
Carlisle nodded. Parker's contribution tonight exceeded everyone's expectations!
In the subsequent games, the Pistons launched several counterattacks, but they were never able to close the score and were unable to reduce the difference to single digits.

Until the last 2 minutes of the game, after seeing that the team was still 14 points behind the opponent, Brown could only sigh, no longer force it, and replaced all his main players.

In this round, Carlisle immediately did a five-up-five-down move and took all his main players down.

If you can rest, rest as much as possible, don’t fight for even a second longer!
He knows how tired and stressed his main players are now.

After fighting the Pistons on defense for the entire game with almost no rotation, there is no doubt that these guys will fall asleep as soon as they return home tonight!

98: 107!

More than a minute later, the whistle for the end of the game sounded. The Pacers won the game with a 9-point advantage and the first time in this series that they scored over points!
这个晚上，林天只打了3节，上场36分钟，22投11中，3分球6投3中，罚球8罚全中，轰下33分10篮板13次助攻4抢断3盖帽的完美数据！
Among them, the 14:0 offensive frenzy that Lin Tian launched in the final stage of the third quarter helped the team to directly establish the victory and win the game!
Although Lin Tian did not appear in the fourth quarter that night, everyone knew that he was preparing for the even crazier seventh game of the series!
The biggest reason why Lin Tian was able to rest in the fourth quarter was that his teammates finally stood up tonight! In the first five games of the series, except for Lin Tian, ​​no one on the team scored in double digits in a single game. The dilemma is finally over!

帕克17分7次助攻成为球队获胜的第二功臣，阿泰斯特11分10个篮板，克里斯蒂13分，哈斯勒姆12分16篮板两项数据都是职业生涯季后赛的新高，另外米勒也拿下10分8篮板4助攻的全面数据。

Also after this night, many people who had been optimistic about the Pistons and believed that they could win the series changed their mind and became more optimistic about the Pacers.

The confidence, intensity and resilience the Pacers displayed in Games 5 and 6 were indeed superior to those of the Pistons.

Although it’s not much higher, just a little bit, it’s enough for everyone to believe that the Pacers can complete the reversal!
Of course, the fans obviously don't trust the role players who performed well in Game 6.

The reason they trust the Pacers more is Lin Tian!

This superstar, who almost single-handedly helped the team survive the first five games, smashed the Pistons' iron defense by himself, and led a 14:0 offensive wave that directly killed the game in the last two minutes of the third quarter of Game , is the ultimate reason why everyone believes in the Pacers!
In terms of star level, Rashid, Billups, Hamilton and Big Ben can all be considered good. They are all qualified to be selected as All-Stars for many consecutive years and are representatives of powerful stars in the league.

But they met Lin Tian, ​​and none of them could give a continuous and effective response when Lin Tian was killing everyone.

Teamwork and defense allowed the Pistons to take a 3:1 lead, but Lin Tian's strength and madness allowed the Pacers to win two games in a row and bring the game into the deciding round!
At the same time, this round of tiebreaks was the only game that went to tiebreaks among the eight matches in the first round.

Therefore, this Game 7 undoubtedly became the focus of fans across the United States. All those who were interested in the playoffs turned on the TV to watch such a game!
Even if more people are optimistic about the Pacers winning away from home, even if more people believe that Lin Tian can lead the team to play a crazy game again.

But almost everyone also believes that this game will be a top-level battle in which the two teams are evenly matched and it will be difficult to tell who will win!

The game will most likely be decided in the last few minutes, and the process will surely be exciting. No one will be able to shake off the opponent, and no one will be able to completely take the initiative.

Simply put, everyone believes that this game will be extremely exciting and will become a classic battle that you will continue to reminisce about 10 or 20 years later!

But when the game started, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

The trend of the game was really beyond everyone's expectations.

One sentence can describe how this game exceeded everyone's expectations.

The Pacers are going crazy! (End of this chapter)
