NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Pierce stood at the serving line and made two free throws steadily, and the Celtics' lead had expanded to 2 points!
"No 3 points! No 3 points!" Rivers had already been standing to direct the game. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't let them shoot 3 points!"

At this point, Rivers paused, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and continued to roar: "Don't give it to the basket! Guard these two points, defend this ball, and we will win!"

Defend these two points?

Lin Tian heard Rivers' words clearly. He even felt that this guy might have let him hear them on purpose.

Rivers is in the jungle, he is in the jungle to shoot mid-range.

He wanted to bet that Lin Tian wouldn't be able to score this goal!

great.

I just like gamblers.

After all, Mr. Lin has never lost a single gambling loss in his life!
Then Lin Tian suddenly accelerated his dribbling and reached the frontcourt in the blink of an eye. Facing Allen and Davis who was rushing over from the side, he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he suddenly accelerated, and the basketball and the man once again passed between the two people at the same time!
This time, Lin Tian's speed was so fast that it was like he pressed a fast-forward button. He passed the double team almost in the blink of an eye, then took another step forward, and then without hesitation, he shot directly from the free throw line.

"Shh!"

One second later, another crisp sound was heard, and Lin Tian made another mid-range shot!
Lin Tian’s 50th point tonight was also his 32nd point in the mid-range area!
With 37 seconds left in the game, the Knicks were trailing by 1 point!
124: 123!

"FUXX!" Rivers cursed angrily while calling his last timeout. He was really helpless about Lin Tian's mid-range shooting tonight.

But he had no choice, what could he do?
Let Lin Tian shoot 3 points?
This guy is just as amazingly accurate.

Let him attack the basket?

It is true that his shooting percentage at the basket tonight was only 9 of 4, but that was the result of the Celtics' twin towers squatting under the basket at the same time and giving up going out to help defend.

They paid a huge price for this!
They helped the Knicks' shooters find their rhythm, and because of their pursuit and interception of Lin Tian and the strategy of keeping the tiger inside the cave, they allowed Anthony to score 20+ points for the second consecutive game. They allowed Okur to score 17 points, and even Steve Jackson scored 18 points tonight, a new playoff high this season!
But whether it was Rivers or the man behind him, Thibodeau, they all expressed helplessness about this result.

You, Lin Tian, ​​made 16 mid-range shots in one game. Who the hell can withstand that?

The only thing that made them feel somewhat relieved was that the team's offense was stabilized.

The team maintained the lead until the last 30 seconds.

"Paul, you go get the ball and attack when the pressure is at the last 8-9 seconds! Tim, you and Paul stand on the same side, and the rest of you move to the weak side! I want a two-on-two situation!"

"If they double-team, you know what to do! Pass the ball to the weak side. If they're one-on-one, Paul, you analyze whether to do it yourself or give it to Tim!"

Rivers' tactical arrangement is still quite simple and crude. To put it simply, it can be summed up in one sentence: rely on the personal abilities of the stars!
If his subordinates were players of the same level as Jordan, O'Neal or Lin Tian, ​​there would be nothing wrong with his arrangement, as it would be more effective than any complicated tactics.

But now it's Pierce and Duncan. The attacking and scoring abilities of these two are at least one level weaker than those mentioned above!

This time, the Celtics' offense was exactly the same as Rivers' arrangement in the first half. Pierce faced Anthony one-on-one again on the strong side, but this time he did not force a shot. Instead, after observing the opponent, he gave the ball to Duncan.

The one defending Duncan is Stoudemire!

It is recognized that...the worst and least defensive point in the Knicks' starting lineup.

Let Duncan fight him one-on-one under the basket, which will be most efficient!
This is the judgment given by Pierce, and it is also the thought of almost everyone who has watched the Knicks game.

After Duncan got the ball, he didn't dribble in a hurry. Instead, he looked left and right several times. After making sure that no one came to help defend, he steadily released the ball and started the attack!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this stage of the game, Duncan no longer held back and went all out, charging towards Stoudemire.

Stoudemire's lower body strength was still not worth mentioning, and he was still easily pushed to the basket by Duncan.

But then, just as Duncan pushed with his shoulder again and then turned sideways to hook the shot, Stoudemire suddenly became hard this time!

He was no longer pushed away by Duncan's elbow as usual. Instead, he gritted his teeth and blocked the elbow. Not only did he not retreat a single step, he even jumped up at the same time Duncan made his move!

Although because Duncan was too tall and too big, and because Stoudemire forced his jump after a confrontation, his jumping height was not high enough, so he was unable to block the shot.

But that's enough!
Stoudemire successfully harassed Duncan's hook shot, and this sure shot failed!

"Nice defense, Amare! I knew you could do it! That's why I didn't come to help defend." Lin Tian was the first to rush to the basket, grabbed the ball that Duncan missed, then patted Stoudemire's butt encouragingly, and then he dribbled the ball and started advancing.

Last 15 seconds!
"Don't worry! Stay calm, we can do this one! Push until the end and give them a fatal blow, leaving these bastards with no chance of counterattack!"

Lin Tian easily signaled to old Nelson that there was no need to pause, and at the same time signaled to his teammates to calm down.

15 seconds was enough time for him to observe the game after advancing and then make the winning shot.

This is the absolute confidence that Lin Tian has accumulated over the past 10 years of his professional career!

"Snapped!"

The first sound heard on the court was the sound of Duncan pounding the floor.

This guy was extremely upset, with regret written all over his face.

Just that little bit!

With just that little bit, he can put his team ahead by 3 points, force the Knicks to only shoot 3 points, and at least keep his team in an undefeated position.

But a slight mistake can lead to a huge loss.

But he missed the shot. Facing Stoudemire's defense, he was unable to hit such a crucial shot!
Duncan's frustration lasted less than 3 seconds. After he slapped the floor and released his emotions, when this guy raised his head again, his eyes were full of determination.

"Hold on! Everyone, get in position! We hold on! We're still leading by one point, we can win!"

Duncan's encouragement made the Celtics players more motivated on defense. They defended more fiercely and more ruthlessly.

Everyone stuck to his opponent, and Allen almost hung on Lin Tian from the halftime. His hand was holding Lin Tian's jersey, and his leg was put between Lin Tian's legs without any hesitation.

Even though he is a rookie and even though this is an away game, Allen believes that the referee will not call a foul of this level at this point in the game!

Lin Tian dealt with Allen's defensive moves, which were all fouls, quite easily. He looked at the time, dribbled the ball leisurely, and then suddenly started when there were 5 seconds left in the offensive time!

First, the ball protector suddenly turned to his side and slapped away Allen's claws on himself. Then, Lin Tian's shoulder that was close to Allen suddenly softened and loosened, and he turned sideways, easily flashed past Allen and began to accelerate the attack.

"Assist in defense!"

Allen never thought that his all-out defense would be completely resolved by Lin Tian so easily, but now, he could do nothing except let out an almost sad roar, hoping that his teammates could help him block Lin Tian.

The moment Lin Tian got rid of Allen, Pierce and Davis let go of Anthony and Jackson without hesitation. They wanted to double-team Lin Tian with all their strength. They would rather be killed by Anthony or Jackson than give Lin Tian this chance!
But Lin Tian doesn’t care at all whether you give it to him or not.

He acted extremely quickly this time!
He didn't even give the two people a chance to rush to him. Instead, he just took one step into the three-point line, then suddenly jumped up and shot the ball!

In theory, this is the shot with the lowest return and the greatest difficulty on the basketball court!

In the last 3 seconds of the seventh game, Lin Tian chose to shoot in the most difficult way.

This is absolute self-confidence and absolute arrogance!
Because he could obviously continue dribbling and get closer to the basket to shoot.

Lin Tian: No need!

Listen to the dragon's roar!

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a clean and crisp sound, and the basketball once again went into the basket with incredible accuracy, and Lin Tian scored 2 points!
At the same time, the whistle ended the game.

Just as Lin Tian said, the game is over! Don't give them any chance to counterattack!
One shot to kill! One shot to kill!
“Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin!” “MVP! MVP! MVP!”

"Madison Garden will never fall!"

"Lin! God of New York!"

"Kill! Go home, you damned old Boston Chin!"

"You guys are a piece of shit!"

"3:1, so what! We can also turn the tables if the score is 3:0!"

"I'll give you a chance, you're fucking useless!"

"We are the best!"

……

The entire Madison Square Garden exploded in an instant, with fans shouting wildly, some cheering for the Knicks, and some cursing Boston.

In short, everyone entered a state of carnival!
A buzzer beater in Game 7, that's too tough!

"What else can we say? What else can we say?" After Barkley made the shot, he shouted, "Lin! I knew he could do it! He never lets people down!"

Kenny followed up: "It's not about what we can say, it's about what the Celtics can do! They have tried their best, they have done their best, they have played everything they can!"

"Did Duncan perform badly? Did Pierce perform badly? Their performance tonight was enough for them to win 99.9% of the game! But it was that remaining 0.1% that was caught by Lin! It was just that tiny flaw and opportunity that was found by Lin, and then he killed the game!"

"It was a buzzer beater in Game 7!" Barkley couldn't help but sigh, "This is something that has never appeared in the NBA in the past few decades. It is considered by countless people to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is the most extreme thing that fans and players can imagine."

"How many times has Lin come here? The alley-oop dunk against the Lakers in the 2001 Finals, the piercing shot in this desperate situation tonight! Any more? I can't remember! My mind is confused, I can't remember if Lin has any other buzzer-beaters in Game ."

"But what I can be sure of is: if you give Lin the chance to make a buzzer beater, he will not let you down! If you are Lin's opponent, then here is a piece of advice for you: never, never, never give him any chance to make a buzzer beater! Because he will definitely kill you!"

"Well, let's congratulate the New York Knicks for completing a 1:3 super reversal, winning 3 games in a row, and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals!"

"Speaking of the desperate score of 1:3, it is worth mentioning that in the first round of the Eastern Conference last year, Lin's Pacers also fell into a desperate situation of 1:3 when facing the Detroit Pistons. Then, Lin led his team to win three consecutive games and eliminated the Pistons, the dominant team in the Eastern Conference regular season last year, in the seventh game."

"It is worth mentioning that the Knicks' next opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is also the Pistons! It's the same opponent as last year! Will Lin be forced into a desperate situation again this time? If he is in a desperate situation again, can he fight his way out of it for the third time in a row?"

"It is also worth mentioning that Rivers is the exact opposite of Lin. How many times has he been reversed when he was leading 3:1? It's not just a huge 3:1 advantage. 2:0, 3:2... In Rivers' short career, he has been in every playoff trip."

"They were reversed! Every time! Every time! If Lin is the king of comebacks in the league, then Rivers is definitely the king of being reversed."

Kenny smiled and said: "After hearing what you said, I suddenly look forward to Lin and Rivers teaming up. If the two of them are on the same team, the scene will definitely be very interesting!"

"Then Lin's fans might kill you! After all, Rivers doesn't have any die-hard fans to protect you." Barkley laughed and said, "Okay, I've finished what I want to say. Let's focus our cameras and eyes on the court and see how New Yorkers celebrate!"

On the court, Lin Tian once again stood on the technical platform and opened his arms to the audience.

He was facing at least 8000 fans, all of whom bowed down to him and shouted his name.

All Lin Tian has to do is open his arms, welcome the cheers of the fans, and enjoy their madness.

Won!

Won the tiebreaker again!

Even though Lin Tian had won countless times in his previous career, and even though he had done many things similar to tonight in his previous career, each time was enough to make his adrenaline surge and drive him crazy.

This is what it feels like to be a winner!

This time, Lin Tian didn't pretend to be cool at the technical table for too long, because he saw his guys rushing over. Anthony, Stoudemire, Jackson, Okur and others formed a net with their arms under the technical table, and they shouted Lin Tian's name loudly.

Lin Tian laughed loudly, opened his arms, let go of everything, and then fell backwards.

Then, he was thrown up again, fell down, and thrown up again!

After the extreme carnival, Duncan and others walked towards the Knicks players.

"Lost." Duncan patted Lin Tian and said bitterly, "Lost again."

"This is just the first time you lose to me." Lin Tianjian said with a smile: "You will have plenty of opportunities to lose to me in the future! You'll get used to it!"

"Damn bastard." Duncan shook his head and then reached out to touch Lin Tian's head.

But how could Lin Tian let his claws succeed? With a dodgy move and a reverse grab, Duncan's claws not only failed to touch Lin Tian's head, but were pressed by Lin Tian onto Pierce's head next to him.

"What?" Pierce pouted, looking confused.

"It's okay, just be nice to Tim, you might lose to us next year!"

If there is anything in this league that Lin Tian is afraid of, it must be Duncan's claws.

God knows if there is any curse, law of cause and effect, or virus attached to it that says "you will become bald if you touch it". Regardless of whether there is such a curse or not, Lin Tian will not let Duncan touch it.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two people for a while, Lin Tian quickly left Madison Garden with his teammates.

What he told reporters before the game was no nonsense.

They actually had already booked their flights and hotels to Detroit.

The team sets off tonight!
There is no way, they are in the last round of the second round of the series, so they only have one full day of rest tomorrow. The day after tomorrow night, they will have to play against the Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

At most, the team could rest for 48 hours. In this case, Nelson decided to let the team fly directly to Detroit to spend the night and stay in Detroit for the full 48 hours to recover from physical fatigue as much as possible.

There are two advantages to doing this.

1. Let these energetic bastards go to Detroit to sleep honestly instead of continuing to overdraw their physical strength in the bright lights and nightlife of New York.

2. It allows the team to get as much continuous rest time as possible, which is much better than rushing to pack up, get on the plane, and go to the hotel halfway through the rest.

There was no other way for old Nelson to do this.

Who can blame the Pistons for being well-rested and fully energized?
Who made his team chew on such a tough bone? Although the whole team was extremely excited after winning the seventh game, in fact, everyone was at the end of their strength and had obvious physical problems?

After all, only the sixth game of this series was played in garbage time. In the rest of the games, including the one where the Knicks lost by almost 20 points, the main players of the Knicks played a lot of time in this series! Especially Lin Tian!
Excluding the sixth game with garbage time, in the remaining six games, Lin Tian played an average of about 46 minutes per game. In four of them, he played the entire second half, with almost no time to rest.

Anthony, Okur and Jackson did not have that much playing time, but compared with Lin Tian, ​​their average playing time was actually more than 40 minutes.

Among the starting five, Stoudemire, who was severely suppressed by the Celtics, had a slightly shorter playing time, which was not a problem of physical strength.

But the problem is, if Stoudemire can't beat Duncan and Howard, can he beat the two Wallaces of the Pistons?
Most likely, it will be even worse!
Being suppressed by blood!

Old Nelson, who was sitting on the plane, felt a headache the more he thought about it. When he felt a headache, he wanted to curse.

As for who to scold?

Curse the Nets!
It's all the damn Nets' fault. If the Nets could have dragged the Pistons to seven full games and finally narrowly defeated the Pistons, the Knicks wouldn't even have to take a plane this time and could have just gone home and slept.

Anyway, we can reach the next countryside by crossing the river.

These country bumpkins are unreliable! They are a bunch of scum, they deserve to be destroyed year after year! Sooner or later, your team will be disbanded! (End of this chapter)
