NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

On the evening of June 6th, the second game of this year's finals will be held again at Madison Square Garden!
That night, the head coaches of both teams still did not change their starting lineups.

Of course, there is no need to change old Nelson, as the team's starting lineup has performed perfectly.

And no matter how crazy he is, it is impossible for him to really put Nate in the starting lineup and let him fight hard with the Lakers' starters.

That's courting death!

It’s even uncertain whether Nate can get playing time tonight!
Again, a top head coach will not use old tactics, nor will he use the same tactic until the opponent finds a flaw and starts to counterattack against you.

They will react faster!

Similarly, Vujacic of the Lakers will most likely only be a feint and bait tonight, and he will not get much playing time.

Fisher did play badly in the last game, but what can Jackson do? Substitute Smush Parker?
Isn't that just asking for death?
He doesn't want to be considered a moron.

Jackson really had no choice. Since Fox, Shaw, Horry and others retired or transferred, coupled with the high salaries of the four starting players and the Lakers' good record, it was difficult to select suitable players in the draft.

The Lakers' bench strength is now greatly reduced, and they still rely more on their strong starting five to win on the court.

Therefore, Jackson, who had no choice but to continue playing like this, had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He can only hope that the Lakers can launch a stronger and more effective counterattack tonight!

He didn't want the team to fall behind 2:0 at all.

Even though the Lakers have three consecutive home games, Jackson doesn't want to put all his hopes on the home court.

They don't have a home-court advantage. If they want to win the championship, they must win at least one game away from home!

Since we have to win this game, it doesn’t matter if we win early or late, we have to win in the end, right?
The sooner you win, the better!
In particular, Jackson has seen many teams being beaten 2:0 by Lin Tian and his team.

It can be said that those teams that wanted to bet on their home court were all defeated by Lin Tian and his team without exception.

In the third game of the series, Lin Tian always plays tougher and crazier.

This guy knows too well the difference between 2:1 and 3:0.

Therefore, this game must be won!
But no matter how confident Jackson is, and how determined he is to win, whether the game can go as he wishes will only be known after the game starts!
With the referee's whistle, the second game of the series started on time!
The course of this game was almost identical to the previous one, except that it was completely reversed.

Both Stoudemire and Anthony were in hot form tonight, each making two consecutive mid-range shots right after the start of the game.

These two shots were just the beginning! In the following period of time, Lin Tian kept using his breakthroughs or pick-and-rolls to get these two people easy shots and opportunities to attack the basket.

The two of them did not disappoint Lin Tian. From outside the three-point line to strong shots under the basket, these two people were almost omnipotent. They kept scoring points, and the Knicks' score also soared.

On the other hand, Fisher continued his bad touch from the first game. He started with a rather outrageous 3-pointer in open space, and then Kobe also missed a shot...

The Lakers, who failed in consecutive attacks at the beginning, were in an absolute disadvantage and at a disadvantage almost from the start of the game. Even their first score at the beginning of the game came 2 minutes after the start, when Kirilenko cut to the basket and dunked, scoring 2 points for the team.

But at this time, the score between the two sides was already 11:2!
In other words, the Knicks beat the Lakers 11:0 at the start!

Fortunately, the Lakers finally found their rhythm after that, starting with O'Neal's dunk, Kobe's mid-range jumper, Kobe's layup, and O'Neal's aerial relay...

The Lakers' duo finally opened fire, helping the team catch up with the score.

It’s a pity that although the Lakers’ offense was fierce, the Knicks’ offense was even more unstoppable, and the two teams once again fought against each other in the game.

The Knicks relied on an 11:0 run in the early stages to establish an advantage of around 10 points. They maintained this score difference throughout the first quarter and continued to have the advantage.

When there was only one minute left in the first quarter, Kobe suddenly broke out again! While Lin Tian was resting on the sidelines, he first broke through and made a layup, causing Okur to foul, and then made a free throw to make it 1+2.

Then he made a buzzer-beating shot from outside the 3-point line in the last attack of the first quarter. In the last minute, Kobe scored 1 points in a row and successfully narrowed the gap to 6 points!
33: 38!

Both sides once again scored super high scores in the first quarter, and the rhythm and hit rate of both sides were also quite fast!
第一节比赛，科比拿下11分2篮板2助攻，奥尼尔拿下10分4篮板1盖帽。

On the Knicks side, Anthony and Stoudemire also scored 12 points and 11 points respectively, with quite strong firepower!

As for Lin Tian, ​​he did not compete with his teammates for shooting opportunities when they were in great form. He only took three shots in the entire first quarter, making 3 of 3 shots and scoring 2 points, but he also grabbed 4 rebounds and made 4 assists.

Almighty! This season, Lin Tian is truly extremely versatile. He can also switch between personal attack mode and team mode infinitely and randomly.

How well he plays tonight does not depend on his condition, but on the conditions of his teammates and opponents!
For example, tonight, Lin Tian’s teammates were in great shape, and almost the entire team was in great form. Lin Tian intentionally reduced his number of shots and selflessly gave the shooting rights to his teammates!

The teammates naturally reciprocated, and with Lin Tian’s selfless passing of the ball, everyone produced quite nice stats and results!

At the end of the first three quarters, the Knicks once again played a game like a thousand arrows shooting and a thousand horses galloping!
Stoudemire scored a team-high 17 points, Anthony scored 15 points, Okur scored 9 points, Houston also scored 10 points, and Smith on the bench also scored 8 points!
The only help is for the team leader Lin Tian. After playing three quarters tonight, he got an economical triple-double of 10 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists. In addition, Lin Tian only took a total of 5 shots tonight, mainly playing the game of passing the ball while maintaining his health, and he played it so easily.

The Knicks' change of main attacking point made many of the Lakers' arrangements come to naught.

The Lakers had no choice.

No matter how good the other players on your Knicks team are, even if they can make 20 three-pointers, what can they do? Do they really dare to let Lin Tian go, not guard him, or relax their defense against him?
Obviously impossible!
That’s Lin Tian!

Who dares!

Especially, Lin Tian didn't score 15 points with 3 of 10 shots tonight, he scored 5 points with 3 of 10 shots! No matter how you look at it, this guy is just slacking off, he has completely figured out the health ball!
With the Knicks team exploding, they successfully maintained an 11-point lead at the end of the third quarter. This game was completely under the control of the Knicks.

But this is the finals after all, and the opponent is the Lakers, the top team in the entire league.

There is no way the game will be smooth sailing, and the Lakers cannot be without any resistance!
In the fourth quarter, O'Neal was the first to explode!
The way he exploded was actually quite simple. He scored a 2+1 free throw! He scored two free throws after being fouled! Then he scored another 2+2 and made another free throw!
Thanks to O'Neal's four consecutive free throws, the Lakers finally felt relieved!
Although the Knicks still had a 6-point lead, O'Neal's consecutive free throws boosted the morale of the Lakers players, which was absolutely beyond imagination!

Super uplifting!

Sure enough, although O'Neal began to encounter tighter double-teaming and help defense in the interior, his passing began to revitalize the entire team!
After all, this is the Knicks. They can take it in, but if they want to spend it after O'Neal passes it, that would be really difficult!
The Knicks players can only defend.

So in the rest of the fourth quarter, the Lakers had a large number of open shooting opportunities.

O'Neal's containment and dominance were perfectly demonstrated in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter!
The Knicks didn't double-team him, so whether he played against Okur or Alonzo Mourning who came on later, it was easy!

Are you double teaming?
At this moment, O'Neal was extremely calm and sober. He could easily pass the ball to the outside, and then the Lakers' outside players could just pass the ball 2-3 times and the open space would appear!
However, the Lakers' 3-point shooting touch in the fourth quarter was also quite impressive, almost an all-out outbreak, with all four players with 3-point shooting ability scoring points in this quarter.

Among them, Kobe received passes from O'Neal three times and made all three three-pointers!
This evening, OK successfully connected in a way they had rarely used before!
In the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Lakers shot 3 of 12 from beyond the 8-point line, hitting 66 three-pointers with a hit rate of 8%! In addition, O'Neal also had a big explosion in this quarter. Not only did he hit many strong shots in the paint, he also made all 6 free throws at the free throw line!
But even so, they are still in a backward position at this moment!
Such a crazy Lakers team couldn't catch up with the score. There was naturally only one reason.

Lin Tian!

This guy who only took 5 shots and scored 10 points in the first three quarters tried a few times in the fourth quarter, and found that his teammates' touch had declined while his opponent's touch had improved significantly, so he decisively switched modes!

Team mode, off!
Personal racing mode, activated!
So, for most of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian was alone against the entire Lakers team!
Kobe made a 3-pointer, Lin Tian rushed to the basket and made a strong shot and caused a foul to make it 2+1.

Fisher made a 3-pointer and Lin Tian responded from outside the 3-point line!
O'Neal scored 2 points with a strong shot under the basket, and Lin Tian made his second consecutive shot from beyond the 3-point line!

Kirilenko scored another goal from beyond the 3-point line, and Lin Tian suddenly accelerated and made a mid-range jump shot for 2 points.

……

In the first 10 minutes of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian, ​​who had been in a sleeping state, seemed to be suddenly awakened. He made 14 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and all 3 free throws, scoring 3 points in 10 minutes!
At the same time, he also made many assists, assisting Stoudemire, Anthony and others to score!

As a result of Lin Tian's fierce performance in a single quarter, the Lakers successfully narrowed the score with the help of the whole team's outbreak.

But with only 2 minutes left in the game, they were still behind!

120: 124!

Although they were behind by only 4 points, they tried so hard and played so well but still couldn't catch up with the score. This was definitely a huge blow to the entire Lakers team!

It's like a person walking in the dark. He can see the light, but no matter how hard he tries, how hard he tries to move forward, the light is always vague and can never be captured.

As the saying goes, if you make great efforts at one go, you will be exhausted again and again!

The Lakers are now in a state of exhaustion! Many players' faces showed undisguised fatigue and powerlessness.

No matter how they score, Lin Tian can respond at any time, and no matter what they do, Lin Tian can fight back.

This feeling is so helpless and painful!

For the Lakers, the only good news now is that there is still a guy in their team who has not given up and does not feel any slackness or fatigue!

"Get out of my way!" Kobe saw his teammates were slacking off. This guy who was always full of fighting spirit stretched out a hand and shouted at everyone, "Get out of my way! I'm taking you home!"

"Of course, you will go home with them in failure, right!" Lin Tian had already completed the defense switch with Houston. Most of the time tonight, he and Kobe were facing off.

Kobe performed quite well tonight, hitting 3 3-pointers in the fourth quarter alone. He was an important contributor to the team's closing the gap to just 4 points.

"Defend my ball first!" After Kobe said that, he suddenly accelerated against Lin Tian. Then he dribbled the ball only twice before he jumped up and made a quick stop jump shot!

This is the most efficient and simple way to defeat Lin Tian that Kobe concluded after facing Lin Tian so many times!
To put it simply: I am taller than you, so I will compete with you in height and shooting touch!
He has an 8-centimeter height advantage, and as an attacker, Kobe's pull-up shot is quite sudden and unprepared.

Even Lin Tian felt helpless when facing Kobe's somewhat rogue style of play, who relied on his height to shoot high.

It is really difficult to defend. If you make a move, you will easily be called for a foul. If you don't make a move, you really can't reach it.

But to be honest, there are no more than 3 people in this alliance who can use this trick to defeat Lin Tian!

This move requires super explosive power, top body control ability, top shooting feel, absolute height and perfect shooting skills.

If one of these things is missing, it will be difficult to deal with Lin Tian, ​​and you will be completely suppressed by Lin Tian!
Looking at all the outside stars in the entire league, the only ones who can deal with Lin Tian like this, apart from Kobe, is probably McGrady.

Apart from these two guys, maybe Anthony can be useful if he practices for a few more years, and there is also that one-on-one shooting freak who will join the league in two years. I'm afraid there will be no one left.

Moreover, even these few people cannot always hit the target. It is impossible for them to maintain top-notch touch at all times and throughout the entire game and make such extremely difficult shots one after another.

It is no exaggeration to say that this kind of sudden stop jump shot with no rhythm or method is the most difficult and most unstable shooting method on the basketball court!
But no matter whether others can do it or whether they can do it stably.

Kobe is in his groove tonight and he can just score!
"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Kobe narrowed the gap to 2 points!
"Come on, Lin! Come on!" After scoring the goal, Kobe bent down, pulled his trouser legs, and then slapped the floor hard.

"Who did you learn this from?" Lin Tian was quite disgusted with the defensive habits of the Lakers' perimeter players. Didn't they know that this posture was unlucky? How was this different from Vegeta getting beaten up every time he pointed his thumb at himself and announced his name?
It’s all the law of cause and effect!

You, a Lakers player, will definitely be beaten to a pulp by Mr. Lin after doing this!

"Whoosh!"

With a sound of wind, Lin Tian accelerated with all his strength. In the blink of an eye, he rushed past Kobe and then rushed straight to the frontcourt.

Kobe only had time to swear, and then he could only turn around and follow Lin Tian, ​​trying to stop him from scoring quickly.

But this is Lin Tian!
When he was pushing forward at full speed that day and wanted to make a quick two points, no one could catch up with him except by fouling!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian had already arrived at the Lakers' basket. Even though Prince and Kirilenko had already retreated and were waiting for Lin Tian to approach on the left and right, Lin Tian showed no fear or retreat, and had no intention of calming down.

Since everything has started to rush forward, how can you be steady?

Just do it!

"Oh!"

Lin Tian jumped high and had a head-on confrontation with Prince in the air. Prince couldn't stand it anymore and flew backwards. Then Lin Tian avoided Kirilenko's block with a pull-up and scored a layup for 2 points!
In the last 1 minute and 40 seconds, the score difference was still 4 points!
122: 126!

Kobe was still the point guard for the Lakers in the next round. He first observed the situation on the court at the top of the arc, and then repeated his old trick, suddenly starting again and then suddenly stopping and pulling up!

This time Lin Tian was faster and jumped higher. He wanted to interfere with Kobe's shot.

But this time, Kobe didn't shoot!
After he jumped up, he suddenly dunked the basketball with both hands, and the basketball flew straight to the inside. After O'Neal got the ball, he turned around and jumped up, and smashed it towards the basket with both hands!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, O'Neal sat down on the ground in embarrassment. O'Neal's strength was really beyond his reach.

After scoring the goal, O'Neal had no intention of celebrating. Instead, he ran back to defense as fast as he could, shouting, "Run! Run! Back to defense! Don't let them make another damn fast break!"

O'Neal's roar and personal example allowed the Lakers to quickly retreat, while the Knicks were unable to send the ball out from the baseline in the first place because of Okur's fall.

Lin Tian simply stopped being anxious and instead slowly crossed the half court with the ball, preparing to make a good play against all the clock!
He stood at the top of the arc, directing his teammates to move out. At this time, he was not going to call for a pick-and-roll, but to go one-on-one!
At this time, it's time to fight alone! (End of this chapter)
