NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"What a brilliant first half!" Kenny shouted excitedly after the first half. "Although the tactics of both teams were not very sophisticated, there were no complicated positioning or mechanically operated systems."

"But this kind of extreme star-to-star confrontation and super-fast offense-defense transition is really the game that is most likely to cause people's adrenaline to surge wildly!"

“I love this kind of competition!”

"Me too!" Barkley said excitedly, "This game is like the best popcorn movie, simple, direct and exciting! Maybe you can't learn any profound knowledge, truth and life experience from it, but it's just awesome!"

"Why should I listen to sermons when I'm watching a movie? Why should I watch those art films, romance films and ethics films that I don't understand? I watch movies for fun! The same goes for watching basketball!"

"Of course, we are not saying that those elegant and rich movies and mechanical and rigorous basketball are not good!" Kenny quickly made up for Barkley after he finished speaking: "It's purely a difference in taste. There is no difference between these two things!"

"Let's take a look at the data of both sides." Seeing that Barkley wanted to continue the offensive topic that was likely to cause complaints, Kenny quickly changed the subject.

Are you kidding? If you get complained about, I will also be fined! We can talk about this later!
"Okay." Barkley also knew the importance of the situation and could only sigh and say, "The performances of both teams in the first half tonight were perfect! Lin scored a game-high 31 points, and he also made 6 assists and grabbed 5 rebounds!"

"Tonight, he has a high chance of getting a triple-double again. In addition, Stoudemire scored 3 points and Anthony scored 11 points. The Knicks' Big Three are on pace to score 13 points together tonight."

"The Wizards' three musketeers are equally powerful!" Kenny continued, "Arenas' performance was second only to Lin. He scored 20 points in the first quarter and only 8 points in the second quarter. But whenever the team encountered difficulties, he always stepped up to save the team and hit the key shots!"

"In addition to his 28 points, he also had 6 assists! Arenas also had the best half-time performance of his career tonight!"

"In addition, Butler scored 15 points, the second highest on the team, and Jamison scored 12 points and 7 rebounds. The Musketeers here are also ready to join forces to score 100 points!"

"The Wizards' problem is still with their substitutes. Daniels was the only one on the bench who scored 4 points tonight, and all the other players didn't score a single point! Of course, this had a lot to do with Arenas playing the entire first half, and Jamison and Butler both playing for 1 minutes."

"When the main players play for a long time, the role players will naturally have fewer opportunities. The same is true for the Knicks!"

Barkley looked at the technical statistics and nodded: "But the difference is that you will believe that the Knicks' substitutes will step up and help the team at some point, just like they did throughout the regular season."

"But the Wizards' substitutes really don't have anyone who can stand out. They are really short of people. They can only rely on the three musketeers!"

"Once Arenas and the other three guys lose touch and can't make shots, the Wizards will be in danger!"

"So, the biggest highlight of the second half is actually how long the three players of the Wizards can hold on. Can they hold on until the end of the game and win a victory for the team!"

"Let's wait and see!"

During the half-time break, the coaches on both sides did not make any tactical arrangements. They were quite satisfied with the performance of their players.

We played all the games we should have played, but we failed to take the lead because our opponents played too well. Both of these teams are representatives of teams that focus more on offense than defense. Should we ask them to strengthen their defense in the second half?
Both coaches thought: It would be better to let them have a good rest and then continue shooting in the second half!

That's much more reliable than asking them to defend at the last minute.

The 15-minute halftime break passed in the blink of an eye, and the starting players from both teams took to the court again.

The game continues with the last 24 minutes!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the players on both sides seemed to have rested for a long time and did not find the feeling immediately. There was a series of "bang bang bang" sounds of missed shots on the court.

The score was tied until three minutes into the third quarter when Arenas finally broke the score!
This guy made several fake moves outside the three-point line but couldn't fool Lin Tian, ​​so he had no choice but to charge forward head-on.

Without getting rid of Lin Tian at all, this guy fought his way to the basket and then forced a jump.

This time, Lin Tian on the opposite side did not lose his position at all, and held up his hands to perfectly occupy the defensive position. Lin Tian even relied on his better physical fitness and strength to knock Arenas off balance during the aerial confrontation. Arenas looked like he was about to fall before the basketball was shot.

Helplessly, Arenas could only rely on his feeling and throw the ball towards the basket.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Arenas' shot finally hit the target!
This was also the first score for both sides in the second half!
After hitting this ball, Arenas was completely excited!
He yelled at Lin Tian: "Come on! Guard me! Come on! No one can guard me! I am the best in the world!"

After hearing Arenas' provocation, Lin Tian certainly couldn't let it go. He took the ball to the front court and signaled everyone to move away.

He actually missed two consecutive shots in the third quarter, so this time, Lin Tian directly took the ball and rushed into the Wizards' 3-second zone!

After the Knicks missed consecutive shots, the Wizards decisively contracted their defense, with four players gathering around the 4-second zone.

As soon as Lin Tian rushed in, Haywood, Jeffries and Jamison came towards him, and behind them was Arenas who was chasing Lin Tian all the way.

Faced with the siege of four people, Lin Tian did not choose to pass the ball, but jumped up and pretended to shoot, but the basketball did not go towards the basket, but was hit directly on the backboard by him.

With a dull thud, the basketball almost returned to its original path.

When the four Wizards players didn't react to what Lin Tian was going to do, Lin Tian had already rushed to the basket, jumped again, touched the basketball with one hand, and successfully put the ball in!

"Four people are not enough, try again!" After getting 2 points with great difficulty, Lin Tian became very ruthless. He gritted his teeth and launched a group mockery at the Wizards players!

"How about I let you send two more people, so that seven of you can guard me and one of you?"

After successfully defeating four people alone, Lin Tian also became more excited.

When the leaders of both teams get a little too excited, the other players will naturally be aroused as well!
So the third quarter of the game seemed somewhat bloody!

The intensity of the physical confrontation between the two sides reached its maximum, and the movements of both sides became more and more intense!

But the problem is that these two teams are not defensive teams, they are not good at defense.

It would be scary when a team that is not good at defense tries its best to defend!

It’s not that the strength of the defense is terrifying, but the scale of the physical confrontation is simply formidable!
Even as the two sides fought, scoring points had become their primary goal!
You hit me on the back twice just now, so I must hit you on the back three times this time!

You just hit me with your elbow, so I have to hit your thigh with my knee!
The two sides have already started fighting!

It is still the purest kind of melee combat with the least technical content, which is started purely for the sake of melee combat!

The referee's whistle, of course, kept blowing in this quarter, and the number of fouls on both sides increased rapidly!

At the same time, because both sides focused too much on confrontation, their scoring efficiency began to decline. Whether it was Lin Tian, ​​Arenas or others, everyone's shooting percentage had a significant decline.

In this quarter, both sides only scored 25 points!
The score was 25:25!

Although this efficiency is still good compared to most teams in the league, but considering the rhythm and style of these two teams, 35 points is their normal score!
93: 93!

At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were still tied!

In the fourth quarter, players from both sides still refused to give in to each other and the game was still quite crazy!

However, the difference is that on the Knicks side, in addition to keeping Lin Tian to target Arenas and stabilize the minimum rhythm and situation, old Nelson let the other four players rotate and rest continuously, so that when the game comes to the final moments, the Knicks will have an absolute physical advantage.

As for the Wizards, Eddie Jordan would never dare to take three players off for even 1 second. He knew how big the gap was between his starting lineup and his substitutes. He only dared to perform some micro-management like replacing Haywood with Donny Thomas and replacing Jeffries with Daniels.

First, it is to test whether the new forces can adapt to the confrontation, and second, it is to let the role players rest as much as possible, while also avoiding the trouble of the following fouls!
Yes, the number of fouls committed by players from both sides is quite high at this moment.

But at the same time, the number of free throws on both sides was not too many.

There is only one reason for this situation: too many non-shooting fouls were called on both sides when the ball was not in play.

Just foul, no free throws.

It’s not that both sides deliberately did this kind of high-end operation, the players of both teams don’t have the ability to do so.

This situation occurs purely because the defensive movements of both sides are too big. When the opponent's movement cannot be kept up by themselves, they will subconsciously pull or tug at the opponent.

This increase in off-ball fouls not only shows that the defensive strength of both sides is strong, but also shows that the defensive ability of both sides is mediocre!
After both sides fell into this confrontation trap, the scoring efficiency of both sides was still not high, and neither side was able to widen the score.

This entanglement lasted until the last minute of the fourth quarter!

The two sides are still tied!

111: 111!

At this point in the quarter, both sides have only scored 18 points each!
Their offensive efficiency is getting lower and lower with each quarter!
But I dare not say anything, the game has come to the most critical moment!

The last minute, the ultimate battle!
At this moment, Eddie Jordan had just called a timeout. The Wizards sent a sideline ball, and Arenas got the basketball near the center line. Lin Tian rushed over at a rapid speed, not giving this guy any chance to catch the ball.

Arenas didn't force it. He quickly passed the ball to Butler who stepped forward to receive it, and at the same time he rushed to the inside, shouting, "Ball! Damn ball!"

Even if Butler was not good at passing the ball, he knew that he had to give the ball to the boss at this time. While passing the ball to Arenas, he did not forget to turn sideways to block Lin Tian!
"FUXX!" This obvious moving pick-and-roll caused Lin Tian to feel a sharp pain, but he had no time to complain to the referee. Instead, he sped up to chase Arenas who was rushing towards the basket!
Arenas didn't have time to see where Lin Tian was behind him. He only knew to increase his speed to the extreme, get to the basket as fast as possible, and then jump up and make a layup!
"Snapped!"

But in an instant, Arenas felt a dark shadow falling from the sky, and then he could only watch the basketball being slapped out of the baseline!
The only person who can do this is Lin Tian!

But Lin Tian, ​​who had blocked the shot, had no time to be happy.

Because the referee blew the whistle!
"Beep! Foul! Two free throws!" In the last 45 seconds of the game, the referee gave Arenas two free throw opportunities!

"The referee is crazy!" Barkley complained directly: "I have never seen a cleaner block than this! He hit his hand? How did he hit his hand? Arenas' fingernails are 2 meters long or the basketball is Arenas' hand?"

"This call is really stupid!" Kenny followed up, "Butler's screen just now was actually an obvious moving screen, but I think it's normal that the ball was not called! At this time, the decision of the game should be handed over to the players!"

"But this foul call was so stupid!"

From the words of the two commentators and the replay on the big screen, everyone could see that this was a misjudgment!
But in today's world without challenges, the rule on the basketball court has always been: if the referee doesn't blow the whistle, it's a good shot, and if the referee blows the whistle, the call cannot be changed!

People are not machines, and it is common to make wrong judgments or miss judgments!

"Josh, go find out where the referee's wife and daughter live, and find me some mafia or gang members and kill them all!" Old Nelson sat on the bench and cursed as he pulled Smith next to him and began to assign him tasks.

"Okay, are we going now? Then you have to go back to the locker room first. I didn't take my phone." Smith became excited when he heard this. He stood up and prepared to go back to the locker room.

"Sit down, man." Old Nelson was so angry that his stomach ached.

Damn it!

On the court, Anthony, Stoudemire and others spread their hands in dissatisfaction and asked the referee why he made the call. They didn't understand and couldn't understand.

Such a good block, and you call me a hitter?
On the contrary, the person involved, Lin Tian, ​​was quite relaxed. He stepped forward to stop Xiao Si and Anthony, told them to shut up, and then stopped them behind him.

Then Lin Tian looked at the referee and said, "I hope it was an accident and there won't be a next time."

After saying that, Lin Tian patted his two younger brothers and signaled them to leave. As for Lin Tian himself, he stood under the basket, ready to grab the rebound.

Lin Tian’s indifference and the tone he used just now really made the referee’s back wet.

Saying only half of the words is the scariest thing!
Why do you just say there won’t be a next time?

Tell me what you will do if there is a next time!

Are you going to beat me up next time or kill my whole family? Are you going to continue to endure it or are you going to file a complaint with the alliance next time?
Speak clearly!

Hanging people like this will give them nightmares at night!
What was even more uncomfortable was that Lin Tian came to persuade his teammates to leave, and he only said one sentence, no swear words, no threats, and no disrespect.

For someone of Lin Tian's status, after an obvious misjudgment, he let the referee give him a technical foul to vent his anger?
Anyway, the referees tonight don’t dare to do it, and they are afraid.

Lin Tian obviously couldn't hear the referee's inner roar at this moment.

But Lin Tian is absolutely confident in his deterrent power. He is sure that the Knicks will be treated preferentially in the next game tonight!
Do you understand the deterrent power of an Olympic champion?
Arenas held the basketball and made two free throws steadily, and the Wizards took a 2-point lead.

"Come on, Lin! Come on!" After taking the lead this time, Arenas once again gained enough courage and shouted at Lin Tian: "I want to see how you can beat me!"

But this time it was Lin Tian's turn to ignore him.

He quickly went to the baseline to get the basketball, then accelerated and dribbled to the frontcourt as soon as possible.

Lin Tian paused slightly at the 45-degree angle on the left. After the basketball paused briefly in his right hand, Lin Tian suddenly changed direction and once again passed Arenas, who was defending seriously, with just one step!

He quickly rushed into the inside, and then facing Haywood's assisting defense, Lin Tian jumped up with all his strength, held the ball high with one hand behind his head, and boldly pressed down on Haywood's shoulder with the other hand, then suddenly exerted force with his whole body, and after a roar, Lin Tian ferociously pressed Haywood directly under him!
Then he took the ball with his left hand and slammed the basketball into the basket like throwing a bomb!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian completed a stunning slam dunk and tied the score again!

"Come again! Come on!" This time it was Lin Tian's turn to roar at the entire Wizards. His grinning face made him look like an invincible ancient demon. At this moment, let alone Arenas, the entire Wizards chose to be quiet.

Fortunately, Eddie Jordan called a timeout at this moment, and a group of players returned to the bench as quickly as if they were fleeing.

Lin Tian’s eyes and aura are so scary!

Some people even felt that their shorts were a little wet.

But no matter what, there are only 28 seconds left until the end of the game, and the Wizards still have the ball!

They have a chance to kill the game! Even if they make a mistake on offense the next time, as long as they consume as much time as possible, the Knicks will only have the last 3-4 seconds left.

The Wizards now truly have the initiative of the game in their hands!

Even if it's just a little bit, it's still mastered, right?
Eddie Jordan quickly arranged the tactics, he wanted Arenas to deliver the fatal blow.

"Lin's shot was suspected of being an offensive foul!" Kenny said as he watched the replay on the big screen, "But the referee was right not to blow the whistle."

"They called a foul on a good block in the last round. If they call a foul on Lin's dunk in the next round, I think these referees will be spat on when they go to New York, and no business establishment in New York will serve them."

Barkley said: "But in the end, the Wizards benefited more! They originally made an offensive mistake and the Knicks had the ball to overtake the score, but a wrong penalty allowed them to get an undeserved lead."

"And until now, they still have a chance to kill the game. If I were Stern, I would fine the referee a lot of money! This misjudgment is really outrageous. I hope that in the next game, there will be no such low-level misjudgments!"

With the analysis and research of the two people here, the game suspension has ended and the ten players from both sides have returned to the court.

Coincidentally, the coaches of both teams had a good understanding at this moment and all fielded their own starting lineups!
The real moment of life and death has come! (End of this chapter)
