NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Throughout the third quarter, Milicic failed to accomplish the task of "giving Lin Tian a hard time".

He never found an opportunity to play against Lin Tian or single out against him in the following games. After Lin Tian quickly narrowed the score with a fierce attack, he did not continue to make crazy shots. He started looking for teammates again.

But unfortunately, although the Knicks frantically chased points and made continuous shots in the second half of the third quarter, Milicic of the Nuggets was somewhat silent.

But at this time, Billups stood up!
This big-game player nicknamed 'Mr. Clutch' made two three-pointers in a row at the end of the third quarter, and also assisted Kleiza and Nene to score points respectively.

Despite Billups' sudden outburst, the Knicks were unable to overtake the opponent and still entered the fourth quarter with a lagging score.

77: 83!

The last 6 points gap, the last 12 minutes of confrontation!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks, as usual, brought out a mixed lineup with Anthony as the core and the main scoring point, while the Nuggets let Milicic lead Camby, Boykins and others to play in the early fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Milicic, who had performed poorly in the previous quarter and was targeted by Lin Tian, ​​immediately adjusted his state. He scored a single goal against Smith in the low post at the beginning and scored 2 points with a turn around under the basket.

Anthony's mid-range jump shot from the wing missed. Camby grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to Boykins. This little guy, who was half a head shorter than Nate, immediately showed his foundation in the NBA.

Boykins rushed to the frontcourt at lightning speed, and then suddenly passed the ball from behind without looking at anyone, to Milicic who was following behind him.

After Milicic took the ball with both hands, he jumped up directly and slammed the ball directly into the basket with both hands!

10 points!

In the blink of an eye, the gap between the two sides reached 10 points again!
"Go." Old Nelson glanced at Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire and others on the bench, and waved his hand, and the entire main lineup appeared again.

The Nuggets' aggressiveness really exceeded Nelson's expectations. This team was not so fierce last year.

When the two teams met last year, this was a team that had some talent, but that was just about it.

This year, there has been a qualitative change.

Then, old Nelson noticed that Billups also stood up and appeared on the court at the same time as Lin Tian and others.

The reason for the qualitative change of the Nuggets can only be this guy.

A guy who has always been underestimated even though he won the FMVP and has almost never been in the top five in various point guard rankings.

This guy has really been underestimated for too long!
Fortunately, Lin Tian, ​​who has faced Billups many times and lost to him once, will never underestimate his old opponent.

Lin Tian knows better than anyone how capable Billups is.

We also know that he is the kind of guy who can change the temperament of a team by himself and bring about a qualitative change in a team.

In a sense, Billups is also a person who "brings his own system" in the league.

The team with him will inevitably have a fierce and unruly temperament of "my destiny is in my own hands", "the barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes", and "if you have the guts, stab me to death".

Coupled with the local customs, environment and team members of Denver, it is definitely a match made in heaven for such a team to find Billups!
But no matter how perfect their match is, it’s all in vain when they meet Lin Tian!

In the first round after both sides returned to the court, Lin Tian quickly came to the low post and reached out for the ball.

After receiving the basketball, this guy immediately started to push towards the inside, and in two steps he pushed against Billups and reached the outside of the three-second zone.

Even though Billups is a well-known strong man at the No. 1 position, he really couldn't stand up to Lin Tian who was firing on all cylinders.

After quickly breaking into the Nuggets' territory, Lin Tian suddenly turned around quickly to face the basket, then raised his hands as if to receive the ball. Milicic had already moved sideways and blocked Lin Tian.

Together with Billups who had also turned around, these two men, one above and one below, forced Lin Tian into a dead corner!
Now, Lin Tian could only retreat and reorganize, and move toward the end line.

The remaining directions have been blocked.

But these two guys obviously forgot that Lin Tian once scored a brilliant goal at a negative angle. This kind of defense could not stop Lin Tian at all!
I saw him hit the ball again, and then he floated towards the baseline!

This lateral jump was beyond the imagination of Billups and Milicic. How could they have thought that Lin Tian would actually jump out of bounds by himself!
Then, taking advantage of the two people's distraction, Lin Tian shot directly and threw the ball from a negative angle. The basketball flew accurately towards the basket and then went into the pocket!
"Shh!"

"Within 3 minutes! We've reversed the score!" After Lin Tian scored the goal, he didn't even look at Billups and Milicic, and quickly turned back to defense, while encouraging his teammates: "Come on, everyone!"

"understand!"

In the next round, Stoudemire made a rare correct defensive judgment and withstood Milicic's personal attack, and then the Knicks' counterattack once again advanced to the frontcourt.

Lin Tian also came to the low post again and stretched out his hand to signal to pass the ball.

"Lin, this is the only trick you know?" Billups knew that he could not stand up to Lin Tian, ​​so he could only talk some trash to distract Lin Tian's attention while he was attacking him, and see if he could take the opportunity to find a chance to complete the defense.

“How shameless of you!” Lin Tian laughed, “It’s me who only needs this one move to beat you, not me who only has this one move!”

"Tonight, if you can force me to attack with other methods other than back-to-the-basket, what if you win?"

After Lin Tian said this, he didn't even wait for Billups to respond. He didn't need a response. Instead, he turned around quickly and rushed towards the inside against Billups.

"Assist in defense!" Billups knew very well how fierce Lin Tian was when he entered the offensive mode. He had been beaten by Lin Tian countless times, so this guy was defending with all his strength while reminding his teammates behind him to help with defense.

Lin Tian quickly chased Billups all the way to the edge of the 3-second zone, then suddenly made a powerful shot, and then turned from the wing to the middle. While completing the turn, Lin Tian held the ball with both hands and raised it into the air.

Billups and Camby, who rushed over to assist in defense, were both fooled and jumped at the same time.

Lin Tian was not in a hurry. He took a leisurely step up and down, passed between two people and made a layup!
"Do you like the gift I gave you?" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian continued his mockery: "An opponent that you can never see or touch."

"So much nonsense!" Billups cursed and turned around to catch the baseline ball passed to him by his teammate.

But just as Camby was about to pass the ball, he discovered Lin Tian running back secretly behind Billups.

Fearing a mistake, Camby wanted to pass the ball to someone else, or take the ball back and not pass it on first. However, the basketball had already left his hands, and his attempt to retrieve the ball was completely unsuccessful and instead looked a little funny.

There was only one result of his hesitation.

The basketball was not played with any power at all! The passes were slow and powerless.

If Camby had been more decisive and passed the ball faster and harder, Lin Tian might not have been able to steal the ball directly.

But now, this soft ball was almost delivered to Lin Tian's hands, so Lin Tian didn't need to adjust after holding the basketball. He just stood up and made an easy layup to score the ball again.

"Thanks, brother!" Lin Tian, ​​who scored the goal, was quite polite. He took the initiative to pick up the basketball and handed it to Camby. He also stretched out his other hand and shook hands with him, indicating that he received your kindness.

"By the way, what did you just say?" Lin Tian turned his head and saw Billups again, and smiled innocently again: "You said I talk too much nonsense?" "FUXX!" What could Billups do? Apart from spewing out two meaningless swear words, he had no other way to respond to Lin Tian.

"Be careful when passing the ball!" So the elder brother chose to ignore Lin Tian and gave advice to Camby.

On this ball, Camby indeed had a big problem.

"Coward." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders with disdain on his face, then quickly returned to his own half, ready to continue defending.

The gap was as big as 10 points just now, but in the blink of an eye it was only 4 points!

When the Knicks, or Lin Tian, ​​wanted to catch up, their efficiency was really terrifyingly high.

Although the Nuggets finally stabilized the rhythm, Kleiza cut to the basket and scored 2 points, the team finally broke this short scoring drought.

But obviously, when the Knicks wanted to start chasing points with all their strength, one or two scattered scores were totally not enough!
Less than 2 seconds after Kleiza scored 10 points, Anthony, who was facing him, successfully deceived his center of gravity in a mid-range duel, then leaned on him, causing a foul and scoring 2 points!
With Anton's free throw, the gap between the two sides was narrowed to 3 points.

The gap can be made up in one round.

"Too fast! The Knicks are catching up too quickly!" Barkley couldn't help but say, "As long as they get into the game, a 10- or 15-point gap won't be a problem! In 2-3 minutes, they can make up for a -point gap!"

"Even though they were able to achieve this level of scoring efficiency, they basically didn't defend. It's unimaginable that a team that doesn't defend, relying purely on offense, can achieve this level of scoring speed!"

"Yes, in our era, if you want to catch up, you have to defend first, use defense to prevent the opponent from scoring, and then find a way to score yourself." Kenny also nodded in agreement: "But now the Knicks have really achieved that no matter how you score, my scoring efficiency is higher than yours."

"They just rely on themselves to score more points and attack better than anyone else, and then win one game after another!"

"Before the Knicks, we would say that you can't win a championship just by offense, we would say that you can't always win by shooting, there will always be times when you're not accurate, there will always be times when your offense doesn't feel good."

"But for the Knicks, none of this is a problem! Or rather, they can handle everything!"

As the two commentators sighed, the Knicks had quickly reversed the score!
In the next attack, Milicic failed to score under the basket. After Lin Tian grabbed the rebound, he threw it directly to the frontcourt and passed it to Barnes who was running fast, assisting him to easily make a fast break dunk!
Then, although Milicic finally caused a foul in his second consecutive singles, he missed two free throws at the free throw line, giving the Knicks a chance.

Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and passed it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian dribbled quickly to get rid of Billups and Kleiza, then suddenly passed the ball from behind without looking at anyone to Anthony who was following up.

Anthony also jumped up on the spot, and after a fierce smash with both hands, the Knicks overtook the score!

At the start of the fourth quarter, the Knicks were trailing by 77 points, 83:6.

One minute into the fourth quarter, the Knicks were trailing by 1 points, 77:87.

There are 7 minutes and 49 seconds left in the fourth quarter, 90:89, and the Knicks have overtaken by 1 point!
In just 3 minutes, the Knicks launched a 13:2 offensive frenzy!
The Nuggets head coach Karl really couldn't stand the fight and could only reach out and call a timeout.

We have to make some adjustments, otherwise the team will be destroyed in one wave.

What worries Karl even more is the state of the Knicks players.

This group of players looked relaxed, as if nothing had just happened, as if it wasn’t them who had just made a climax and directly turned the situation of the game around.

But for the Knicks players: it’s just 13:2, that’s only an 11-point win, how can this be called an offensive climax?

The real climax of the attack begins now!
After the timeout, old Nelson made another surprise move. He took off Barnes and replaced him with Nate, who has more scoring explosiveness, and once again put out a lineup with all players who can shoot, run and score!
Since the feeling is good now, since the feeling is coming now, just keep charging to the death!

The Nuggets did not change their lineup just because they were beaten to a climax. This team is actually somewhat similar to the Supersonics team coached by Karl. Both teams have a top guard and an excellent power forward as the core, and are supplemented by a few muscular men who compete with others in physical strength, confrontation and ruthlessness.

Therefore, Carl will not make substitutions at this time. No matter how he makes substitutions at this time, it will reduce the team's fierceness and toughness. Instead of giving up the advantage actively, it is better to hope that his players can play well!
On the offensive end, Billups obviously wanted to show the origin of his nickname Mr. Clutch at this moment, so this guy stretched out his hand to signal everyone to move away, and then suddenly dribbled the ball and accelerated, trying to force his way past Lin Tian.

But how could Lin Tian's speed and strength mean that Billups could squeeze through just by saying so? Lin Tian was firmly stuck in position, so that Billups could not find the opportunity to cut inside no matter how hard he tried.

Fortunately, Billups had already made a plan. Just when he was about to be completely blocked by Lin Tian, ​​this guy was a top guard after all. Suddenly, he made a ground pass without looking at anyone and gave the ball to Milicic under the basket.

The pass was quite concealed; he just flicked his wrist and the basketball flew towards the basket.

But the problem is that this ball is a bit too hidden! In addition, the distance is close, even Milicic failed to react in the first time and failed to hold the ball.

In NBA games, in the battleground of the interior, if you lose control of the ball, it will be difficult to control the ball again in this round!

Your opponent won't give you this opportunity.

For example, Lin Tian immediately returned to the basket, and then slapped the basketball that Milicic didn't hold!
At this time, who cares whether you are hitting the ball or your hand, just slap it and make a loud slapping sound, then grab the basketball.

The referee didn't blow the whistle? That's a good shot! The referee blew the whistle, that's my bad luck!

This time, the referee didn't blow the whistle! Because everyone saw that Milicic didn't hold the ball firmly and almost made a mistake.

In this case, the referee will assume that you deserve to be fouled!
After Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, he turned around quickly, then just patted the ball and suddenly turned again. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian turned twice in a row, one to face the front court, and the other to directly leave Billups behind!

Then Lin Tian finally accelerated strongly and rushed towards the front!
The Nuggets' disadvantage was extremely obvious in this ball!

Not fast enough!
After Billups was passed, their forward group of Kleiza and Najera were strong and fierce, but they were too tall and slow. When Lin Tian rushed at full speed to push the fast break, the two of them were completely powerless and could only look at Lin Tian's back and sigh.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Tian shook off all the players from the Nuggets team, then came to the basket and did another 360-degree turn and slam dunk!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian added another 2 points!
Now the problem that the Nuggets and Karl have to face is no longer the Knicks' problem of catching up.

The problem they have to face now is that the Knicks have started to widen the score!
Although the Nuggets stabilized the situation again, with Milicic forcing a shot under the basket and scoring 2 points, he didn't even have time to complete his retreat. Lin Tian found Anthony in the transition between offense and defense, and then made a lateral pass to him, who then shot from outside the 3-point line on the wing!
"Shh!"

After the basketball went through the net again, the Knicks were completely on their way!

Even though Billups is experienced, he signaled everyone to slow down and slowed down his pace, hoping to disrupt the Knicks' touch and rhythm by slowing down the pace.

But the prerequisite for this trick to be effective is that you must be able to score points and score continuously!
But the Nuggets were obviously a little confused at the moment, and the players were not in good shape. Billups relied on his experience and vision to create an absolutely open mid-range opportunity for Kleiza, but this guy made a rather outrageous three-point shot without any defense.

The basketball fell directly into the arms of Okur under the basket. After Okur got the ball, he quickly passed it to Lin Tian, ​​who passed it to Anthony. Anthony only dribbled it once before returning it to Lin Tian.

Then Lin Tian suddenly stopped and turned around. When the Nuggets defender was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was going to do, Lin Tian suddenly slammed the ball from under his crotch to behind him with both hands. Nate had already arrived, received the basketball at the edge of the 3-second zone, and jumped up for another slam dunk!
The Knicks are going completely crazy!

They can't hold it back!

As the team with the strongest and sharpest offensive firepower in the current league and even in the history of this league, once they really play with the feel and feeling, any strategy is not worth mentioning in front of them! (End of this chapter)
