NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 588: Replace Mourning! The last pride and persistence of the American Airlines Center!
Chapter 588: Replace Mourning! The last pride and persistence of the American Airlines Center!
The Heat don't have a rim-protecting player like Alonso Mourning now. Dampier's defense is just OK. If he is asked to help defend ordinary players, he can still do a good job. But if he is asked to defend a superstar like Lin Tian,
Well, sorry, the 'second center in the West' can't do that job.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and before Dampier could react, Lin Tian had already rushed to the basket, and then dunked with one hand to score another 2 points for the team!
"Lin is on full fire tonight!" Barkley's voice came as expected: "Lin is in really good shape! I think he is going to score a high score tonight! How long has it been since we saw Lin score a high score?"
"He was too low-key and played too lazily this season. Due to the short playing time and the change in the team's playing style, Lin only scored 4+ points four times this season. For the fans, this number is really low!"
"Come on, Charles, don't be so conceited. It's true that Lin only scored 4+ points four times, but he also got more than 40 triple-doubles! Lin almost single-handedly made the difficulty and rarity of the triple-double data lower!"
"Over the years, everyone has recognized that 40 points is easier than a triple-double. A triple-double is the most difficult statistic and can best demonstrate a person's level! Otherwise, Ricky Davis wouldn't shoot on his own backboard just to get a triple-double."
"Who recognized it?" What does Barkley say at this moment?
Lin Tian played well and had an epic season. Barkley was as excited as if his own player had played like that. He was so excited and proud.
"Go to hell, Charles. How many 40-point games have you scored in your life? How many triple-doubles have you gotten? Tell me, which one is harder?"
"Winning is the most difficult! When we play, we never look at the statistics. We only look at the scores of both sides. If our score is higher than our opponent's, then we are the best. If our score is not as high as our opponent's, then no matter what statistics we have, they are useless!"
"FUXX! Charles, FUXX YOU! Go to hell!" Ever since kissing Barkley's butt, Kenny's fighting ability in bickering with Barkley has been greatly reduced. He almost always loses to Barkley and is forced to swear every time.
There is no way. As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than people.
Kenny knew Barkley too well. He was 100% sure that if he got the upper hand in the argument, Barkley would definitely fight back by saying that he had kissed his butt.
No matter what the two of them talk about, it always ends up with kissing each other's butts.
Therefore, Kenny's fighting power was greatly reduced. He would rather be chased and beaten by Barkley, or have his nose sprayed by him, than listen to Barkley mention that horrible night for the 1747th time.
The two commentators were exchanging insults with each other, and the game on the field was proceeding at a very fast pace.
As Barkley said, maybe the tribute ceremony tonight for Mourning gave Lin Tian too much emotion, so this guy played aggressively tonight! He released all his firepower that he had not fully released throughout the season tonight.
In the first quarter, he beat Hinrich, who was known for his defense, so badly that he had no chance to fight back. It was a horrible sight.
Lin Tian scored 26 points in a single quarter, which was the first time this season that he scored more than 25 points in a single quarter.
And the Heat team actually managed to hold on despite Lin Tian’s crazy performance!
Odom, Walker and others all performed far beyond their usual average tonight, showing their top form.
Odom scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in this quarter. As the 'youngest triple-double winner' in NBA history, Odom fully demonstrated why he is called the 'left-handed magician'!
Walker also regained some of the feeling of his peak period. Not only did he score against Anthony many times, he also made a three-pointer from outside the three-point line. He also successfully scored 3 points in this quarter!
The two most scoring players on the team began to explode, and the other role players on the team were naturally unwilling to lag behind. Especially when facing a team like the Knicks that had no defense at all, the Heat players were able to make beautiful and exciting attacks time and time again.
Both sides were very efficient in the first quarter, with a hit rate of over 50% and a very fast pace!
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 36:33!
The Heat were only three points behind for now! With their current lineup and scoring ability, they were able to go back and forth with the Knicks led by Lin in the first quarter, which was definitely an above-average performance.
But in the second quarter, after the Heat came on as substitutes, that momentum was completely gone!
There was no way. The strength gap between their starting lineup and substitutes was already large, and they faced the Knicks who were in good shape tonight. The Heat scored 33 points in the first quarter, but their efficiency dropped sharply in the second quarter!
Of course, the old reason is not that the Knicks defended well, but that they themselves couldn't make the shot!
The huge gap in role players directly determined the outcome of the first half of the game between the two sides.
60: 51!
At the end of the first half, the Knicks led the Heat by 9 points, and they had begun to slowly expand their lead.
They have to win this game today!
After the halftime break, players from both sides returned to the court. At this time, the starting players of both sides were full of confidence and enthusiasm, wanting to fight for the game!
Although both sides were full of passion, there were huge fluctuations in the game scene!
The situation of the two teams suddenly reversed!
The Knicks missed several shots in a row, while the Heat suddenly got their 3-point shooting touch going!
Hinrich, Walker and Bochy each made a 3-pointer. Less than 2 minutes into the game, they made a 9:0 run and successfully tied the score!
Then Odom blocked Stoudemire's face-to-face shot, then he turned around and grabbed the rebound and immediately accelerated and started moving forward!
Although Stoudemire counterattacked on the spot and stuck closely to Odom, the two men of similar height had a huge gap in flexibility!
Odom was moving quickly and after several changes of direction and behind-the-back dribbles, he had already run all the way to the Knicks' three-point line.
At this time, Odom made another move, dribbling the ball with his left hand, shaking his upper body to try to deceive Stoudemire's center of gravity, and then this guy suddenly dribbled the ball in his left hand behind his back.
Just when Stoudemire thought it was a behind-the-back dribble and Odom was about to change direction, the basketball suddenly and incredibly slipped out from under Odom's crotch, and then he turned to the left, which made Stoudemire lose his mind.
After Odom turned around, Stoudemire could do nothing but watch Odom take a mid-range jump shot.
That's too late!
Odom's skills and athleticism really have a sense of transcending the limitations of the times. This guy has the height and weight of a 4-5 position, but when he plays, it is a complete outside style!
"Shh!"
After a crisp sound, Odom made a mid-range pull-up jump shot, and the Heat had already made an 11:0 run!
In the third quarter, the Knicks hadn't scored a single point!
Not only were they unable to withstand the Heat's fierce attack, but they also lost their half-time lead!
"The Heat are leading! This is the first time they have taken the lead in the second half of this series! Let's see if Odom's goal can help the Heat regain their form! And if it can turn the tide of the game!"
Kenny shouted excitedly: "Can the suspense of this series be revealed? Can the Heat escape the fate of being swept? Let's wait and see!"
At this time, the reaction of Miami fans was particularly interesting. When their team scored 11:0 and had already reversed the score, what they did was not cheer for their team and let them keep up the good work.
They even started giving advice to the Knicks!
Aren't you behind? Why? Because the Heat keep scoring!
Why do the Heat keep scoring?
Because the Knicks can't defend!
What if we can’t prevent it?
Of course, that's the person who can be defended!
Then, in an instant, the entire American Airlines Center was filled with earth-shaking and uniform shouts.
"Switch Mourning! Switch Mourning! Switch Mourning!"
Nelson was almost at a loss for words after hearing all this yelling. He couldn't help but look at Mourning and said, "Why don't you go up and fight for a while?"
"No." Mourning knew Nelson was joking, but he was still serious. "They got the lead because they made three-pointers and got into the middle and long-range shooting mode. What's the point of me going up there? Are you going to chase after those young guys' three-pointers?"
"If any team keeps attacking the inside and puts us in trouble, I will apply to play myself!"
"I don't need pity, what I want is to truly contribute to the team and win the championship!"
Old Nelson nodded appreciatively and said, "I understand more and more why the whole of Miami loves you so much. You really have a fascinating temperament, Alonzo! Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you!"
While Old Nelson was speaking, the situation on the court was reversed again! It was a sudden change!
Lin Tian took action!
After the Heat scored 11:0, Lin Tian immediately took over the team's offense. He first faced Hinrich's single defense and then made a continuous crotch move before forcing a 3-point shot!
"Shh!"
After the crisp sound, the Knicks took the lead again!
And this is obviously just the beginning.
Then he assisted in defense and blocked Odom's breakthrough, forcing him to barely shoot and miss. After Stoudemire grabbed the rebound, he immediately passed it to Lin Tian. After getting the ball, Lin Tian immediately turned around and pushed forward, increasing his speed to the extreme in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, Lin Tian seemed to have transformed into an omnipotent knight again, riding his warhorse and charging left and right in the enemy's position as if he was in an empty space.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian rushed to the Heat's basket and jumped directly against Hinrich.
This time, Lin Tian did not do any pulling or dodging movements in the air, nor did he use his body and impact force to knock Hinrich directly away. He only did one thing in the air.
Wait!
Just waiting! Lin Tian, who was in the air, waited patiently.
He waited until Hinrich opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. He waited until Hinrich, who had jumped with all his strength, began to fall unwillingly, and then got farther and farther away from Lin Tian.
Then, Lin Tian shook his wrist and kicked the basketball out with ease.
"Shh!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored a goal without any tricks or skills. He relied entirely on his physical talent to crush the opponent. He simply showed off his air stay and jumping height!
This goal brought great shock to everyone!
This mode of waiting in the air for you to fall and then taking action brings a huge visual impact!
There was an instant of crazy screams in the TNT studio, and Kenny and Barkley couldn't help but shout to express their appreciation for this goal.
Nelson once again cueed Alonzo Mourning, who had few roles throughout the season but stole the spotlight tonight.
"How would you defend this ball?"
"Defense of shit." Mourning rolled his eyes in annoyance, and was very helpless about the fact that this old man kept picking on him tonight: "If I could defend Lin, would I still be here? I would have won the championship a long time ago."
"That's true." Old Nelson nodded in agreement and said, "I didn't expect you to be so insightful."
After hearing what old Nelson said, Mourning really wanted to hit someone.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
What kind of old bastard would talk like that?
Do you really think that I won’t dare to hit you just because I play under you, right?
Your grandma’s!
It’s better not to exist at all!
As soon as I had a little sense of presence today, I was constantly bullied by this old man.
Wrong!
At this time, Lin Tian was killing everyone on the field!
His momentum of scoring continuously did not stop at all. No matter whether it was Hinrich or anyone else, they were powerless against Lin Tian's firepower!
And Van Gundy has already given his change: double-team!
He asked Hinrich and Bochy, two guys with good defense, to double-team Lin Tian at the same time.
But in the first round when the two people came up, Lin Tian dribbled the ball behind his back and jumped sideways to get through the tiny gap between the two people, then raised his hand and made a lob shot, completely breaking the double-team.
Then in the second round, Lin Tian continuously changed directions to mobilize the defensive focus of the two players, and then chose Posey's side to force an accelerated breakthrough. After only two steps forward, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, then directly received the ball and raised his hand!
Posey and Hinrich had no time to think, their tense bodies and minds reacted at the same time.
The two of them jumped up together, and then looked at Lin Tian who was still on the floor with some despair.
Fooled again!
Lin Tian also shook two people up.
What a shame!
But Lin Tian did not let them go. After shaking them both off, Lin Tian took half a step forward and then jumped towards the two of them.
After the three of them collided heavily in the air, Lin Tian threw the ball towards the basket and shouted, "AND 1!"
"Shh!"
"Dudu!"
As the saying goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response!
Lin Tian’s confident shout also received a very good reward. The basketball entered the basket and the referee whistle sounded!
2+1!
But at this time, the referee was worried.
Who committed the foul?
It’s not that the referee was hesitant about whether these two people committed fouls after the whistle, but that both of them committed fouls 100%. The question is who was called for the foul?
After a slight hesitation, the referee decisively gave the signal.
"Kirk Hinrich, blocking foul! 2 points valid, 1 free throw!"
As for why Hinrich was praised?
He is just unlucky.
Hinrich had no way to deal with this ball. He was double-teamed and was shaken all over. What could he do?
He could only raise his hand to indicate that he had committed a foul.
But this foul was also his fourth foul!
He received four fouls not long into the third quarter, which basically meant that he couldn't play in that quarter and had to go down to rest.
This is NBA practice.
Then, Hinrich walked off the court angrily, his face full of loss and pain.
He didn't want to go down.
He still wants to fight!
At the same time, Hinrich was also very clear: after he went down this time, he might not have to play again tonight.
Because the score had now widened to 10 points again, Hinrich knew the level of Wright who replaced him.
It would be strange if he wasn't eaten alive by Lin Tiansheng!
Of course, Hinrich himself was also eaten alive by Lin Tian.
At most, he could fight back a few more times before being completely defeated by Lin Tian.
But Wright...
Hinrich sat back on the bench helplessly and covered his face with a towel.
I won’t go to see it.
We still couldn’t win this game!
We also want to show our toughness and ferocity in front of our seniors.
What a pity.
With Hinrich's wild thoughts, the situation on the court has once again been completely controlled by the Knicks!
Under Lin Tian's fierce bombardment and indiscriminate attack, the Heat's defense quickly collapsed!
After scoring 26 points in the first quarter, Lin Tian scored 22 points again in the third quarter!
By the end of the third quarter, Lin Tian had already scored 53 points! In addition to these 53 points, Lin Tian also grabbed 11 rebounds and made 7 assists!
The Knicks' lead also reached 16 points!
There is still suspense in this game, but it is indeed not much!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Hinrich, who had been on the bench for half of the third quarter, rushed to the court. He hoped that he could use his performance to curb Lin Tian a little, or at least bring back some suspense in the game!
But Lin Tian, who did not choose to rest, did not open fire himself, but he began to look for teammates!
First, he assisted Stoudemire to make a one-handed slam dunk, and then found Okur outside the three-point line and assisted him to make a three-pointer.
Finally, Lin Tian saw Houston on the wing again during the breakthrough and made a ground pass to him. Houston received the ball and made a mid-range shot!
After this wave of three consecutive hits, not only did Lin Tian get a triple-double again, continuing his record of consecutive triple-doubles in the playoffs, but he also completely widened the score gap!
In these three rounds, the Heat only scored 2 points in total and were beaten 7:2 by the Knicks. The difference between the two sides reached more than 20 points!
Then old Nelson didn't waste any time. He just waved his hand and did a five-up-five-down move on the next dead ball.
The five starting players went down to rest together, and five substitutes came on to continue the game.
This is the signal that old Nelson announced in advance that the game has entered garbage time!
