NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

The first attack in the fourth quarter was the Pacers' chance.

Lin Tian dribbled to the frontcourt, he raised one hand to direct his teammates to move, and then passed the ball to Miller near the free throw line, letting this guy organize the team's offense. As for Lin Tian, ​​he circled and rushed into the Timberwolves' inside line.

The entire Timberwolves' defense was immediately in a state of panic. A group of people were extremely nervous and quickly contracted the defense line. However, by doing so, they missed Artest at the top of the arc. Artest received the pass from Miller, took a look outside the 3-point line, and then decisively shot!

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Artest hit 3 points at the start, widening the score difference to 10 points!
After Artest made the 3-pointer, the entire Conseco Center cheered!

The fans are shouting wildly!

The 10-point advantage gave them hope of victory!

And, the hope of sweeping the series and becoming the champion again!

At the same time, the atmosphere of the entire stadium was completely ignited by this goal!

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

The crazy roars of the fans greatly increased the defensive willingness of the Pacers players. Lin Tian took the lead in roaring, reminding his teammates to defend well, and their defensive intensity also reached the extreme!
But on the other side, there were two top stars, Iverson and Garnett. Facing the crazy defense of the Pacers, although the Timberwolves were almost defended for 24 seconds, but in the last moment, it was Iverson who forced a fadeaway jump shot from mid-range against Lin Tian's defense!
Although it was just one round, after this round, players from both sides were breathing heavily!

Just this one round of high-intensity confrontation has exhausted all the physical strength that both sides had accumulated with great difficulty during the intermission. The next period of time will be a test of both sides' willpower and endurance!
8 points!
In the Pacers' offense, when Lin Tian got the ball and faced double defense again, he chose to pass the ball again. Then he used his off-ball skills and huge off-ball threat to lead the Timberwolves players to run around and around, tearing the entire Timberwolves' defense into pieces.

Under Lin Tian's tearing, the other players of the Pacers naturally got a lot of opportunities. This time the opportunity came to Haslem. Haslem took his signature catch-the-ball jump shot and scored another 2 points!
Still 10 points!
The Timberwolves' offense was still Iverson holding the ball and picking and rolling. This time he passed the ball to Garnett, who showed his toughness and ferocity that were rare on the offensive end. He went straight to the basket with the ball and jumped up for a one-handed slam dunk!
Not only was this dunk fierce, it also caused Miller to commit a foul, 2+1!

With Garnett's free throw, the difference between the two sides returned to 7 points.

In the next round, Lin Tian simply did not advance with the ball. He ran directly to the frontcourt. Christie took over Lin Tian's job and carried the ball to the frontcourt, then waited for Lin Tian's running position.

After being hit twice in a row by the Pacers, the Timberwolves' defense finally changed a little. They no longer chased and intercepted Lin Tian, ​​and only arranged Cassell to follow Lin Tian. However, one person, especially an old man, obviously could not catch up with Lin Tian.

When Lin Tian saw that there was only one person following him, he decided not to give any face to the Timberwolves. He quickly accelerated to one side, then successfully got the basketball, and threw it within the three-point line in one step!
"Shh!"

Lin Tian proved with his actions: if you relax your defense against him even a little, he will make you pay a huge price!

Lin Tian made the Timberwolves pay the price here, and the Timberwolves were not polite either. Their lineup of one big and four small players had an absolute advantage in flexibility. Relying on the pick-and-roll cooperation of Iverson and Garnett to attract the defense, the two of them found Szczerbiak outside the three-point line twice in a row.

Although Szczerbiak's athletic ability is at the bottom among the power forwards, his shooting level always allows him to get a lot of breakthrough opportunities. At the same time, when Haslem is against him on the Pacers, Szczerbiak's speed becomes an advantage again!

Twice in a row, Szczerbiak made a shot directly after receiving the ball, and made a shot after taking one dribble after receiving the ball.

While Szczerbiak scored 6 points in a row, the Pacers' offense did not fall behind. Lin Tian once again took advantage of the opportunity that only one player from the Timberwolves was defending him and rushed to the basket and made a layup.

But the Pacers' next attack failed to hit, because they once again increased the intensity of their defense on Lin Tian and did not dare to let him score so recklessly. This time the Pacers' chance came from Miller at the free throw line, but his shot missed.

Fortunately, when the Timberwolves attacked again, Lin Tian acted decisively again and slapped away the pass that Cassell wanted to pass to Iverson.

However, this time the Pacers failed to launch a counterattack because the Timberwolves retreated too quickly!
Seeing that there was no chance for conversion, Carlisle simply called a timeout!

In this wave of offense, the Timberwolves successfully narrowed the gap to 3 points with Szczerbiak's 5 points.

Szczerbiak’s obvious advantage at this point must be addressed!
After a little thought, Carlisle replaced Parker to deal with Iverson, allowing Lin Tian to continue to bully Cassell while assisting in defense and filling in for his teammates.

As for the player who was replaced, it was Haslem, the power forward with insufficient mobility.

After some adjustments, Miller of the Pacers faced Garnett, Artest and Sprewell continued their "beast madman" battle, Christie and Szczerbiak, two technical players, had the opportunity to face each other, and Lin Tian and Parker faced the Timberwolves' backcourt duo.

The game continues!

With Parker on the court, Lin Tian handed over the work of organizing and dribbling to Parker without hesitation. He went directly to the low post, blocked Cassell with his back, and reached out for the ball.

Parker instructed his teammates to move to the other side to create enough space for Lin Tian, ​​and then passed the ball to Lin Tian.

On the side with the ball on the court, Lin Tian and Parker faced off against the duo of Iverson and Carlisle.

The remaining six were pulled to the other side of the basket.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he observed briefly and found that the Timberwolves' defense did not double-team him again, so there was no chance for them to double-team him. He simply turned around and made a fadeaway jump shot, hitting the 2-pointer again!

Still 7 points!
Lin Tian has already scored 6 points in this quarter!

"It's crazy! That's 49 points!" Barkley shook his head and sighed, "The Timberwolves' defense against Lin is so crazy! They only didn't double-team Lin 3 times, only 3 times!"

"But Lin Tian seized all of these three times and scored 3 points! The Timberwolves' defense has really reached its limit! They have tried their best not to give Lin a one-on-one chance."

"But even in this situation, even in this situation, Lin was able to seize every opportunity and grasp every fleeting opportunity, every opportunity that came to him."

"What should the Timberwolves do? Kenny, if it were you, what would you do?"

Kenny, who was pointed out by Barkley, said: "Ask this question to any coach in the world, he can't give you an answer. This is also an unsolved mystery of the entire league and an unsolvable problem that must be faced!"

"If someone could have solved this problem, the Pacers wouldn't have won five championships in six years and are so close to a sixth championship in seven years."

"So you ask me what I should do now? I can only say that I will go to church and pray every month before the game with Lin, and then hope that God can feel my piety and then use his energy to seal the basket so that Lin can't hit the shot."

In the next game, the Timberwolves really didn't dare to let Lin Tian go again. They were completely frightened by Lin Tian's consecutive 6 points. For a long time afterwards, no matter where Lin Tian was, there would be two people following him.

As for the rest of the Pacers?

Leave it to Garnett!
This is the only way for Sanders. He can only pray that Garnett's strong defensive ability and almost the best mobility in the interior can come in handy. He only hopes that Garnett can interfere with the shooting and shots of all the Pacers players as much as possible.

Then, pray that other Pacers players miss their shots.

But unfortunately, Garnett tried his best to defend, and he interfered with or blocked the Pacers' shots many times.

However, faced with numerous offensive opportunities, the Pacers players were still able to put the ball into the basket time and time again!

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' offense is not weak either. Their offense in the fourth quarter today was reasonable! Quite reasonable!
They took Iverson and Garnett as the core, and constantly carried out pick-and-roll, passing and cutting.

Iverson hardly had a single forced attack tonight. Every attack he made was carefully considered, and he would try every means to find the teammate who was in the best position and easiest to score.

The Timberwolves' offense was completely united in the fourth quarter, showing the most extreme teamwork!
What backed up the teamwork was their strong individual abilities! Iverson attacked again and again, and Garnett also became rare and fierce, and continued to attack the Pacers' inside line!
130: 134!

With 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the difference between the two sides was still 4 points!
Both teams played offensive basketball in this quarter, with a high success rate and a very fast pace!

At this point in the game, Iverson of the Timberwolves scored 33 points, Garnett scored 30 points, and the remaining Sprewell, Szczerbiak and Cassell also scored more than 20 points! The team's five starters really tried their best tonight, and no one was lagging behind!

They all played the best performances of their careers!

As for the Pacers, Lin Tian is still their first arrow. Whether it is offense or defense, they play the game with Lin Tian as the absolute core.

Even though Lin Tian has only scored 8 points so far in the fourth quarter, and even though he hardly ever holds the ball on the offensive end, it is through his constant dribbling and running without the ball that the rest of the Pacers players have had plenty of opportunities in this quarter.

Lin Tian creates opportunities, and others seize them!
On the defensive end, Lin Tian gave his all. He was simply a smaller but more luxurious version of Garnett!

He is also everywhere on the defensive end. He will appear at any position on the court as long as there is an open space! He will keep wandering around all areas of the court to help his teammates fill the gaps!
第四节打到这会儿，林天已经轰下了51分14篮板15助攻9抢断9盖帽了！
His data has reached an unimaginable height!

He achieved numbers that no one has ever achieved in NBA history!
In fact, because his data tonight was so exaggerated, several TV stations broadcasting this game directly set up a separate small area in the lower right corner of the screen to display Lin Tian’s real-time data!
With 3 minutes left in the game, everyone was looking forward to Lin Tian adding another record to his technical statistics.

A steal and a block!
A five-double in the finals is just around the corner!
And even if he can't get it, everyone hopes that he can at least get a quadruple-double!
Hundreds of millions of people around the world are looking forward to this!

Barkley, a die-hard fan of Lin Tian, ​​clenched his fists even more, and his palms were sweating.

Nervous! Very nervous!
He felt that he was more nervous than Lin Tian on the field!

Because Barkley knows better than anyone that some opportunities, once missed, will never come back again in your life!

If Lin Tian fails to get a quintuple-double today, he may have regrets for the rest of his life.

Even Barkley was looking forward to it, even if the Pacers lost, Lin Tian had to get this penta-double!
After all, there are so many people who lost in the finals. As for getting a penta-double, I'm afraid no one can do it in the top leagues of various countries in the world of basketball!

"Dudu!"

With the referee's whistle, the timeout for both teams ended and the Pacers sent a sideline ball.

This time, the basketball was finally given to Lin Tian!
He got the basketball two meters away from the three-point line, and then just shot it, and the Timberwolves' double-team came!

Iverson and Carlisle, one on the left and one on the right, blocked Lin Tian's dribbling and breakthrough space.

Originally, Lin Tian wanted to take a step back to buy some space for himself, but these two guys obviously received instructions from Sanders during the timeout and directly attacked Lin Tian!
The two men were like two pendants, one on the left and one on the right, as if they wanted to ride directly on Lin Tian's body. The three of them were completely stacked on top of each other, as if they were doing some shameful performance art.

Then Iverson acted quickly, and since the referee didn't blow the whistle, he just took action!

He slapped Lin Tian in the face without any hesitation, not caring whether he hit Lin Tian's arm or the ball. In short, the basketball was directly out of Lin Tian's control and flew to the backcourt.

Cassell and Iverson cooperated well. This guy also blocked Lin Tian sideways and pulled Lin Tian's clothes with his hand, trying to stop Lin Tian from chasing Iverson.

"Fuck off!"

Lin Tian didn’t care whether the referee blew the whistle or not. Since Iverson didn’t stop, he had to chase him!
He slapped away Cassell's hand that was pulling his jersey, then accelerated wildly, his speed as the king of the 100-meter meter completely burst out, chasing Iverson all the way to the Pacers' basket!
Iverson never thought that Lin Tian could catch up with him in this situation, so he shot the ball somewhat casually, and in order to save energy, he did not dunk, but a layup. Then, he saw a big hand stretched out from behind him and slapped the basketball onto the backboard!
"Goal interference! Goal interference! Goal interference!" Iverson yelled like crazy and jumped up and down. He could swear that Lin Tian blocked his basketball only after it hit the backboard. It was definitely a goal interference!
But just like he just ignored the fouls of Iverson and Cassell, the referee also ignored whether Lin Tian's ambiguous and extreme block was a goal interference.

The referee gestured without hesitation: The game continues!

Iverson just jumped twice on the spot. After seeing that the referee was unmoved, this guy quickly threw himself into the game. This guy was only slightly slower than Lin Tian and rushed to the frontcourt, double-teaming Lin Tian again!

"You won't always be so lucky, and the referee won't always help you!" Iverson looked at Lin Tian viciously, lowered his body, and prepared to continue attacking Lin Tian.

"The same thing goes for you. Do you think your steal just now was clean and without any problems?"

"no!"

"My block was just as clean! There was no suspicion of interference at all!"

"You're talking nonsense! You interfered with the ball!"

"You steal the fight! You idiot!"

While the two were bickering, Cassell next to them seized the opportunity to grab the ball again, and wanted to double-team Lin Tian with Iverson again!
Iverson also reacted quickly. When he saw Cassell move, he also moved his feet and wanted to increase the intensity of Lin Tian again.
But Lin Tian had suffered a loss once, so how could he give these two guys another chance?
With their defensive method of a lazy bear climbing a tree, even if you let Spider-Man come, he will still be intercepted!
Lin Tian chose to pass the ball immediately and passed it to Parker who was waiting on the other side. After getting the ball, Parker rushed forward quickly, reached the basket in the blink of an eye, and made a layup, scoring the ball again!

Parker played the role of a surprise player perfectly tonight! He has scored 14 points tonight, and this is his 6th point in the fourth quarter alone. He also had 3 assists in the fourth quarter!
His breakthrough and passing after tearing through the defense made the Timberwolves run for their lives! They never thought that after Lin Tian was completely controlled, the Pacers would suddenly have such a guy to constantly tear through their defense!
130: 136!

The score difference between the two sides came to 6 points!
The last 2 minute and 30 seconds!
It was not until this time that Barkley finally had time to cheer because the Timberwolves chose a strategy of slow dribbling forward!

The last two rounds were so tense! So tense that experienced guys like Barkley and Kenny could only barely keep up with the rhythm to comment on the current game instead of celebrating Lin Tian's horrific achievement!
"Quadruple-double! Lin did it! Quadruple-double!" Barkley was so excited that it seemed like he had scored a quadruple-double himself: "Fifth time in NBA history! First time in playoff history! First time in finals history! First time a guard achieved a quadruple-double in blocks! And it was a near quintuple-double!"

"Also, the first quadruple-double in history to score over 40 points, and of course the first quadruple-double in history to score over 50 points! What's even crazier is that there are still more than two minutes left in the game!"

“林的抢断数也是9次！他能达成前无古人后无来者的5双么？2分30秒！这是我这辈子以来，最紧张也最期待的2分30秒！”

"The Timberwolves are in the frontcourt, is Lin going to steal the ball?" Kenny was already excited by Lin Tian's amazing performance, and he shouted, "Lin went to steal the ball! He didn't succeed! Unfortunately, he lost his defensive position, and Iverson made a mid-range jump shot!"

"Even Lin would be a little careless and anxious when faced with this absolutely unique opportunity in history! But we can all understand, all of us can understand Lin's thoughts! What if he achieves it?"

132: 136!

Just now, Iverson avoided Lin Tian's steal with a behind-the-back dribble, and then made a mid-range jump shot, recovering 2 valuable points for the team.

"Mine!" Lin Tian raised his hand to apologize: "I couldn't help it, this is the last time! I swear!"

Just as you said, Lin Tian really couldn't resist the temptation just now.

That was a five-double! And it was in the finals.

Lin Tian really couldn't help himself, so he fell into Iverson's trap.

But for some things, the last time is enough.

The same trick can't work on a Saint Seiya twice!
Lin Tian was not in a hurry and continued dribbling across half court. Just like before, as soon as he approached the three-point line, the Timberwolves double-teamed him!
They had made up their minds tonight to kill Lin Tian and then pray that no one else could defeat them!

Lin Tian was not in a hurry. In his eyes, this kind of reckless defense was nothing but empty spaces and flaws!
He passed the ball to Parker again.

Parker took two steps forward with the ball, then after attracting help defense, he passed the ball to Artest. After getting the ball, Artest did not continue to rush into the inside, but suddenly stopped and made a quick jump shot!

This choice is correct. He was in an absolutely open position when he made the jump shot.

But the job of the quick stop jump shot is not something he should be doing at all.

He doesn't have this skill in his skill library!
But the good news is that Artest is quite self-aware.

"short!"

He shouted, reminding his teammates to grab the frontcourt rebounds.

Then, he saw a yellow figure rushing into the inside and rising from the ground!

Lin Tian!

At this time, who else could it be but Lin Tian?

Originally Sprewell had already grabbed the rebound, but Lin Tian jumped up from behind Sprewell, grabbed the basketball from behind his head, and snatched it from Sprewell's hands.

Then after landing, Lin Tian didn't even give Sprewell a chance to turn around and defend him. He tapped his toes on the ground and took off again as if he was equipped with a spring!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian grabbed the basket with both hands, shook it and roared!

Sprewell was under his crotch and became another unlucky guy who was dunked over by Lin Tian tonight!
"Didn't your coach teach you to hold on tight when you grab the rebound, lest someone take it away?" Lin Tian taunted Sprewell, "Oh my God, sorry old buddy, I forgot you don't have a coach."

"When your coach was teaching you how to play basketball, you pinched his neck and made him speechless, right?"

"Does this count as a steal?" Barkley asked excitedly and expectantly, "Will it give Lin Tian an extra steal?"

"Don't be silly, Charles. This is a frontcourt rebound. How can this be a steal?" Kenny shook his head and said helplessly, "It's not like you don't understand the rules. This kind of ball that is not completely controlled is not considered a steal!"

"Of course I know, I was just expecting the data statistician on site to do something stupid, but unfortunately, he didn't add it!" Barkley looked at the small data box at the bottom of the screen that belonged to Lin Tian and shook his head regretfully.

Last two minutes!
Can Lin Tian still break the record?

Barkley didn’t even care about the outcome of the game. He only cared whether Lin Tian could break the record tonight!
132: 138!

The Timberwolves continued their attack, continuing their perfect offensive performance tonight!
After Iverson came to the frontcourt, like Lin Tian, ​​he did not choose to force an attack on the opponent's strongest defensive point. Instead, he passed the ball to Cassell, and then he quickly moved to the other side to play off-ball screen with Garnett.

The off-ball screens by Garnett and Iverson immediately attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Pacers, and everyone unconsciously took two steps closer to that side.

Who made the deterrent power of these two guys no less than Lin Tian’s?
The old devil like Cassell immediately discovered the flaw in the Pacers' defense, suddenly started to rush into the inside, made a light one-handed layup, successfully challenged Miller, and scored another 2 points for the team!
134: 138!

A 4-point difference!

There is 1 minute and 39 seconds left in the game!
In the following offense and defense, both the Pacers and the Timberwolves failed to score. The Pacers were defended by the Timberwolves for almost 24 seconds. Finally, Lin Tian received the ball two meters outside the three-point line, forced a buzzer-beating three-point shot against two people, but missed.

The situation was similar for the Timberwolves. They were forced into a desperate situation by the fierce Pacers. In the end, Garnett had no choice but to miss a buzzer-beating 3-point shot from outside the 3-point line!

Last 51 seconds!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again!

Once again, he was double-teamed!
But this time, Lin Tian didn't plan to pass the ball.

Sanders obviously also noticed Lin Tian's intention and shouted to the court: "Pay attention to Lin! Strengthen defense! Don't give him a chance to shoot! Everyone, pay attention! This is the most important defensive round of our season!"

Facing the aggressive Cassell and Iverson, Lin Tian waved to his teammates to come forward to cover him. Miller and Artest naturally rushed forward quickly and gave Lin Tian a double high cover.

At the same time, Garnett and Sprewell, who were defending them, also rushed to the top of the arc.

In the blink of an eye, seven players gathered in this small area outside the Timberwolves' three-point line!
The momentum was just like the grade competition in a third-rate girls' high school, the kind where at the end of a game the score was 4:2 and no calls were made for traveling, double dribbling, or wrist-turning.

Everybody ran after the ball, everybody huddled together.

This kind of scene is rare in the NBA!
Being rare also means something is bound to happen!

3分线外7个人，3分线内自然就是3个人！还是步行者队2打1！

Sanders discovered the problem and wanted to shout out to alert them, but it was too late!

A person cannot be faster than the ball, especially when the person passing the ball is Lin Tian.

He jumped high, then threw the basketball in his hands into the three-point line with both hands like throwing a bomb.

Parker took only one dribble after receiving the ball, attracted the attention of the Timberwolves' only defender, Szczerbiak, and then quickly passed the ball to Christie.

Christie took the ball and dunked with both hands!

"boom!"

134: 140!

The difference between the two sides once again reached 6 points, and there were only 35 seconds left in the game!
Lin Tian's pass almost killed the game directly!
Time is running out for the Timberwolves!

Sanders had a look of despair on his face. He knew that his chances were slim, but he still called a timeout. He wanted to plan one last attack for the team!
He wants to bring the team back to life!
He wants to bet on a miracle!
"Kill the game! Kill the game!" Barkley shouted excitedly, "The Timberwolves' defense was flawed! They made such a low-level mistake! They completely missed the inside!"

"At that moment, I think the brains of all Timberwolves players crashed at the same time! They used an extremely wrong defense! They will pay for this bad round!"

"With 35 seconds left and trailing by 6 points, the Timberwolves can only hope for a miracle!"

Kenny said: "For the Timberwolves, the ideal situation is that they can score a 5-pointer within 7-3 seconds. It must be 3 points. 2 points is too late!"

"And then they have to hold off the Pacers and not let them score, so they have 6-7 seconds left to make the final 3-pointer."

"The bad thing is that this time, Sanders called the Timberwolves' last timeout, which means that even if they hit the target and successfully defended the Pacers' offense, they only had a limited amount of time to complete rebounding, advancing, counterattacking, shooting, and so on."

"What's worse is that the Pacers know what the Timberwolves are going to do. They know what the Timberwolves will do! They will defend the 3-point line and put great pressure on the Timberwolves from outside the 3-point line. As for inside the 3-point line? It's up to you. The same old saying: 2-point shot, too late!" (End of this chapter)
