NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade
Chapter 605 Who said only old men can commit fraud? Mr. Lin commits fraud against an old man!
"Attack! Attack them!" After being pushed to the limit, Brown racked his brains for a long time and could only come up with the tactic that proved to be a complete failure last year.
In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals last year, Brown ordered the team to fight the Knicks on offense, but they lost the game in the end.
If last year's was an active adjustment and he wanted to give it a try, then this time was Brown's last resort after he was powerless. After all, he definitely couldn't defend. Lin Tian's terrifying lethality was too amazing. Letting his players continue to defend would not only most likely not do any good, but would also likely make his players quickly despair and completely lose confidence.
Instead of this, we might as well fight!
After all, he had no other choice but to do this and give it a try.
We can only give it a try.
When the timeout ended, Brown was the first to make adjustments. He replaced Artest, who was better at defense but less stable at offense, with the team's sixth man, Bonzi Wells.
The Knicks did not change their lineup at all, and the players waited for Billups to dribble to the frontcourt.
After another complicated run, Big Ben finally got an opportunity under the basket, and he jumped up and dunked with both hands!
Looking back, the Knicks' quick counterattack once again quickly killed the Pistons' hinterland, and Lin Tian finally played a pick-and-roll this time! This was his first pick-and-roll tonight!
After the first touch between Lin Tian and Stoudemire, Lin Tian made a ground pass to Stoudemire in the mid-range, and Stoudemire jumped up and made a signature jump shot.
"Shhh!!"
Continued!
After the ball went in this time, Billups didn't try any tricks to force a steady rhythm, because he found that no matter how hard he pressed, he couldn't suppress the Knicks' firepower. In that case, it would be better not to press at all!
Just do it!
He rushed to the frontcourt quickly, then passed the ball to Hamilton. Hamilton dribbled the ball twice and then jumped up to pass it to Wells. Wells took the ball and used his rolling knife skill, running all the way to the basket and forced a shot which went in!
On the other side, the Knicks finally started to miss shots. Okur missed the 3-pointer, but the Pistons also failed to seize the opportunity. Rashid's 3-pointer also ended in a miss!
These two missed shots seemed to indicate that the good touch of both sides at this stage had finally begun to cool. In the next five minutes or so, the scoring efficiency of both sides dropped rapidly, and there was a flurry of clanging on both sides.
Brown's order to attack with all his strength obviously did not produce any good results, and their score did not increase much.
Fortunately, the Knicks' scoring efficiency also dropped. Although the Pistons did not catch up, at least the score difference did stabilize.
For the Pistons, it is better to maintain the status quo for the time being! Maintaining the status quo proves that they have not been beaten yet, and proves that they still have a chance.
Be it Brown, Billups and other main players, they all need time to completely calm down, forget their fear of Lin Tian, and then restore their form and touch.
With three minutes left in the first quarter, Nelson called a timeout and the score between the two sides temporarily reached 3:25.
Just looking at the score, you can tell how strong the two sides were in that period of time.
The only exception was Lin Tian, who had just scored another goal. He had already made 7 of 7 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 100 points with a 17% hit rate! His score alone was 4 points higher than the Pistons.
"You still have three minutes." Old Nelson was much more relaxed at this moment. He could see that the situation of the game was completely under his control. He looked at his players and said, "But it's okay if we can't pull away. After all, our opponent is the Pistons."
"Their defense is very strong, even at a historical level. I was too arrogant to open up a 25-point gap in one quarter. They will definitely make some adjustments after this timeout, so we can lower our goal a bit."
"If we can maintain a 10-point lead before the end of the first quarter, we'll have a success in this quarter! As for the rest, we'll deal with it in the second quarter."
"As usual, Melo, Alan, and Mehmet, you three come down and rest for a while. We'll be counting on you at the beginning of the second quarter, Lin..."
Old Nelson was about to continue speaking, but Anthony couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Coach, if I said 25 points, it means 25 points! We just took a nap, and the game has just started! I don't want to go down! I want to widen the score and then sit down and have a good rest!"
"Me too!" Houston, a veteran, knew that Nelson was trying to provoke him, and immediately acted as a joke, saying, "25 points, one point less is too much! If you say you want to beat them to death, you have to beat them to death completely!"
"I want to continue too!" Okur patted his chest and said, "I didn't make the 3-pointer just now, but now I feel it. If you give me the ball, I will definitely make it! And in a row!"
"Give them a chance, coach." Lin Tian certainly would not expose old Nelson's cheap provocation, but cooperated with his teammates and said: "They can do it! I believe in them!"
"But the rotation in the second quarter..."
"I can play longer!" The five starting players said the same line almost at the same time. This time, old Nelson was finally satisfied.
The old man smiled and nodded, "It's settled then, 25 points! Go ahead."
The pause is over!
Players from both sides once again took to the court.
The trailing Pistons simply replaced Hamilton with Artest to give this indefatigable shooter a break, while the leading Knicks didn't even replace a single player!
"The Knicks, are they really going to beat the Pistons to death?" Barkley asked curiously, "Why don't they make a substitution?"
"This is the Pistons! Isn't it too arrogant to think that the game will be forced into garbage time in just one quarter?"
Kenny continued, "But when I think about the fact that the head coach of this team is old Nelson, it all makes sense. Old Nelson is definitely someone who can do such a thing! This is his crazy style!"
"But whether such a crazy style can be successful, we have to take a closer look."
With the referee's whistle, the Knicks passed the ball to Lin Tian from the sideline.
The game continues with the last 3 minutes of the first quarter!
Lin Tian, holding the basketball, still didn't say much to Billups. At this point in the game, trash talk was no longer of much use. What was needed now was a direct attack!
After finding the rhythm with two consecutive dribbles, Lin Tian accelerated again and forced his way past Billups. Then Artest next to him quickly retreated, trying to block Lin Tian near the free throw line.
But Lin Tian's reaction was incredibly fast. He turned around and shook off Artest, and in the blink of an eye he was at the basket again. This time even Big Ben had to step forward to help defend. Seeing that he was being double-teamed by three people, Lin Tian no longer hesitated. He shook his wrist lightly, and the basketball flew at a very low altitude and flew directly into Anthony's hands on the opposite side.
Anthony got the ball and looked down at the three-point line, then dribbled the ball and quickly retreated before he confidently shot the three-pointer!
He actually chose to step back and shoot 3 points in a wide-open situation. This choice was bold and confident, and it also illustrates the mentality of the Knicks players today.
Very hard!
"Shhh!!"
With a crisp sound, Anthony's open three-pointer went through the net, and the difference between the two sides reached 15 points!
Looking back, because he had just hit a three-pointer, Anthony's defensive momentum was also up! He had the upper hand in the confrontation with Artest, and with a flexible turn and a well-timed iron elbow, he cleverly stuck Artest firmly behind him.
How could Artest, who had suffered a loss, bear this? He raised his hand and elbowed Anthony on the waist, knocking Anthony to the ground!
The angry Anthony immediately jumped up from the ground, rushed to Artest and yelled at him.
"You old dog, are you looking for death? Believe it or not, I will never let you return to New York!"
"Do you believe that I can't let you leave Detroit? You pretend to be a big brother in front of me, who do you think you are?" Artest was naturally unwilling to be outdone, and he confronted Anthony head to head.
Fortunately, the referee intervened quickly at this time, got between the two people and prevented the situation from escalating further. As for the other players on both sides, they were in a very stable mood at this moment.
Everyone knows that if there is no fight, at most there will be a few words of criticism.
There is no way, one is Lin Tian’s team, and the other is a team composed of Lin Tian’s fans.
Beat? How? Lin Tian shouted, and everyone had to line up and stand in line to show that they were wrong.
After a burst of bluffing, Anthony and Artest quickly listened to the advice and separated to the two sides.
The three referees all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It’s a good thing that no fight broke out.
The bonus was almost lost again.
After quickly watching the game video and understanding and determining the cause of the conflict, the referees quickly determined that Artest was the troublemaker and gave him a technical foul.
The Knicks got a chance for a free throw and they will be able to expand the score again!
"Idiot!" Brown cursed angrily, then quickly waved his hand to signal Hamilton to continue on the court and replaced Artest, who was a little out of control.
God knows whether this big brother has really regained his composure or is preparing to make a big mistake.
Brown didn't dare to gamble anyway, so it would be safer to let him come down and calm down.
On the court, Lin Tian made the technical free throw steadily, then came to a position near the center circle and opened his hand to catch the sideline ball passed by his teammate.
Then, without even a moment's hesitation, Lin Tian turned into a setter and pushed the ball directly into the basket the moment he got the ball!
The basketball drew a perfect arc and landed just to the left of the Pistons' basket.
Stoudemire had already rushed over, jumped high, grabbed the basketball, and slammed the ball into the basket!
"Boom!!" After a loud bang, the whole scene fell silent.
Because now even the fans who know the least about basketball can see that there is something wrong with the Pistons.
If they were in normal condition, how could it be possible for Lin Tian to pass the ball so far and still allow Stoudemire to complete a slam dunk?
When Stoudemire dunked, the two Wallaces couldn't even rush to his side to block him.
The Pistons' defense began to lose focus. Even they, after being beaten up by Lin Tian, could no longer hold on and could not fully devote themselves to the game.
And once the Pistons have problems with defense and start making such low-level mistakes, they are doomed to be in trouble tonight!
Next, the Pistons gave the ball to Wells, asking him to back down Houston in the low post.
Logically speaking, this is the matchup in which the Pistons have the most advantage. The young and strong Wells is exactly the opponent that old comrades like Houston fear the most.
But Houston showed his rich experience in this defense. Just when Houston was about to attack him, Houston cleverly retreated, causing Wells to stagger and sit on the ground in embarrassment.
After Houston made Wells suffer a great loss by removing a chair, he quickly grabbed the ball that Wells had lost control of due to the fall, and then found Lin Tian again and passed the ball to him.
Lin Tian took the lead again and dribbled to the front!
And this time, even Billups was left behind by Lin Tian from the very beginning!
He also lost the motivation to catch up.
"boom!!"
With no one defending and no one chasing him, Lin Tian naturally would not waste the opportunity to perform. He jumped up from the ground with a two-handed windmill and slammed the basketball into the basket!
20 points!
After this steal and slam dunk, the difference between the two sides reached 20 points!
It was only one step away from the 25 points that Nelson required.
At this time, the Pistons gave the Knicks another assist!
The assist this time came from Larry Brown.
The old coach was completely furious at Billups's behavior of not returning to defense or chasing. He stood up and scolded Billups.
And the more I spray, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, and the more I spray, the more excited I get!
Then, by the time Brown noticed something was wrong, he was already standing on the field.
At this time, the referee actually doesn't bother to care. After all, Brown is an old coach with a prestigious status, and he is not criticizing the referee.
They wouldn't give Brown a technical foul just because he came on the court and scolded Billups.
You just need to get out quickly.
But Brown wanted to go out, but some people didn't want him to go out.
As Brown was backing away, he suddenly felt himself hitting something.
Rough and hard.
Then a scream came from behind Brown.
"Oh!! FUXX!!"
The person who screamed was, of course, Lin Tian. This guy had somehow gotten behind Brown and was cleverly knocked to the ground by Brown.
"He bumped into me!"
Lin Tian spread his hands angrily and protested to the referee.
hiss……
The referee, who was standing next to the two of them, couldn't help but gasp.
Those who can officiate at the divisional finals level are all senior and experienced referees, otherwise it will be easy for them to lose control of the situation.
For example, the referee tonight is an old man with more than 10 years of officiating experience.
But throughout his entire career, I have never seen such a shameless bastard who would touch the porcelain of the opposing head coach!
Haven't seen any!
Even if you are a role player who needs to demonstrate your basketball IQ in this way to gain a sense of presence and benefit the team, that's fine.
But you are fucking Lin Tian!
The best player in the league, even the best player in league history!
With your status, don't you feel embarrassed doing this?
How dirty must a person's heart be to do such a thing!
If it wasn't his job, the referee would have wanted to give Lin Tian a technical foul and tell him to stop acting and stand up quickly.
But unfortunately, it cannot be given.
It is true that Brown entered the field illegally and it is also true that he knocked down Lin Tian. Even though he knew that Lin Tian was acting like a rogue, what could the referee do?
Did he really give Lin Tian a technical foul?
Even if I were to be sprayed to death by countless saliva.
The referee hesitated for 7-8 seconds, and then gave Brown a technical foul with helplessness, disgust and contempt on his face.
The old man was even more furious at this moment.
He started playing basketball in elementary school, then entered the NCAA and NBA, became an All-Star, and then retired to coach. He has spent at least 50 years of his life with basketball.
50 years, a full 50 years!
This was the first time he had seen such a shameless person.
But Brown was just like the referee, they couldn't tell what was going on. He could only nod, bite his lip, suppress his anger, and give Lin Tian a thumbs up.
"Referee, he was cursing at me. He was giving me the thumbs up! In our country, giving me the thumbs up is an insult! And it was a particularly dirty insult!"
"It's not over yet! Can you please go shoot the free throws?" The referee said half angrily and half pleadingly. He hoped that Lin Tian would shoot the free throws quickly and end this farce as soon as possible.
This is simply a sin!
"Okay!" Lin Tian somersaulted up from the floor in the blink of an eye, then jogged all the way to the free throw line, ready to take the free throw.
"I swear, I didn't teach you this." Old Nelson covered his face, not daring to look at the court, and quickly distanced himself from Lin Tian.
At the same time, in different places, three other people said the same thing.
Bird and Carlisle said this to each other at the same time and laughed at the same time. They were thinking the same thing at this moment.
Fortunately, he didn’t do this when he was in the Pacers, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
In Los Angeles, Phil Jackson turned off the TV and said the same thing to his players, adding: "Although this behavior and approach is smart, I don't want any of you to try it."
"I can't afford to lose this person!"
Lin Tian could never have imagined that a fake fall of his would cause the four top coaches who had coached him to cover their faces and quickly distance themselves from him.
I can only say that the behavior of this old man who committed fraud has really exceeded the bottom line.
This behavior is really shameless!
But unfortunately, the person involved not only did not feel shameless at all, but also happily went to the free throw line and made the technical free throw. Then he went to the sideline and received the sideline ball. Lin Tian began to direct the attack again!
There are about 2 minutes left in the first quarter and the score difference is 21 points.
If everything goes well, old Nelson's request can be met in 2 rounds!
Lin Tian, who had been fighting for 10 minutes straight, was a little tired. He had consumed a lot of energy tonight!
Therefore, Lin Tian decided to expand the score difference to 40 points in 25 seconds at most, and then go down to rest and prepare for the next game.
Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked at Billups, whose defense in front of him was not tight and who was obviously a little collapsed. He directly received the ball, then jumped up quickly and shot a 3-pointer!
"Shhh!!"
After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored another 3-pointer! The difference between the two sides reached 24 points!
37:13! (End of chapter)
