NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

The Suns don't want to give up!
From the fighting spirit and desire they showed in the last 6 minutes of the game, it can be seen that they did not want to give up.

They still played very hard. Although Nash was once again closely watched by Lin Tian after he made that brilliant three-pointer after returning from the timeout, and although he did not make any low-level mistakes, he was still unable to score again.

Lin Tian’s defense is so fierce!
Lin Tian's defense prevented Nash from breaking through and attracting double-teaming to change the Knicks' defense, nor was he able to use pick-and-rolls to cooperate and create mismatches.

In this situation, even if Nash passed the ball, his teammates would not be able to get a direct shot or attack the basket.

They also can't score efficiently.

After all, the biggest problem of the Suns is that the team only has Nash as a top ball handler and initiator. Except for Pierce who can be considered a half-initiator, the rest are purely finishers.

Therefore, once Nash is closely watched by Lin Tian and Pierce is not in good form, it will be difficult for the Suns to launch a brilliant counterattack to quickly catch up.

If you strangle Nash, you will strangle the Suns!
In fact, everyone in the league knows this. They all know how to defend Nash and how to defend the Suns.

It's just that Nash is too capable, and the Suns' screens, pick-and-rolls and other tactics are so numerous and complicated, so most teams, even if they know this, are unable to accomplish the task of strangling Nash.

But at least tonight, the Knicks, who have never been good at defense, achieved this with Lin Tian alone!
He made Nash play quite awkwardly throughout the fourth quarter!
With 2 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game, with Lin Tian hitting another mid-range jump shot, the Knicks widened the gap to 25 points for the first time tonight!
115: 140!

Their advantage is so great that even the Suns have no chance of catching up.

Lin Tian, ​​who had not scored a single point in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, completely exploded in the three minutes or so in the middle of the fourth quarter, making 1 of 3 shots from inside and outside, and 7 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 3 points!
By this point in the evening, he has already scored 45 points again!
After Lin Tian made this shot, Barnes was quite smart and made a quick foul to suspend the game. Then old Nelson waved his hand, five in and five out, and announced that the game entered garbage time!
He didn't believe that the Suns could overtake the opponent in the remaining time!
Instead of letting their main players waste time on the court, it would be better to replace them early and let them rest for a while.

Old Nelson is not the kind of idiot who would let the MVP fight meaninglessly on the court when leading by more than ten or twenty points.

If one of the absolute main players gets injured because of this thing, old Nelson would probably get his face swollen.

He can't do this.

But he can't do it, but there are people who can.

Old Nelson was playing five games on this side, but D'Antoni didn't take anyone off the court over there!
He won't change! He will keep fighting!
Regarding D'Antoni's stubborn and stupid performance, old Nelson just curled his lips and cursed quietly: "Idiot."

Then I just didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The difference was 25 points, and there was less than 3 minutes. Don’t even mention the Suns. Even if you were the Universe, there was no way you could beat me by 2 points in 40 minutes and 25 seconds!
In Nelson's eyes, D'Antoni's behavior is suicide.

Apart from wasting the main players' energy, it is of no use at all!
In the last 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the Suns really had a climax against the Knicks' pure substitutes.

14: 4!

It only took them 1 minute and 40 seconds to score a 10-point victory, narrowing the gap to 15 points.

129: 144!

Ok……

It doesn't help.

So D'Antoni also replaced all the main players at this time and let role players play to finish the last minute.

In the last minute, neither side's substitutes were able to score any more points, and the gap between the two sides was fixed at this number.

His extra effort of nearly two minutes was of no use to D'Antoni except for bringing Nash's stats to an oversized double-double of 2 points and 40 assists, making the score difference between the two sides look less exaggerated.

Of course, although Nash scored 40 points and 15 assists and also scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, the reason why the Suns lost was that he made a total of 8 turnovers tonight, of which 5 turnovers occurred when he was one-on-one with Lin Tian alone!
He could definitely be said to have been completely defeated by Lin Tian!
In addition, all of his 10 points in the fourth quarter were scored after the team fell behind by more than 20 points.

During the period when the team went from leading to falling behind and then being completely defeated by the Knicks, Nash made almost no contribution.

No, he has been making negative contributions.

The team was beaten by the Knicks in the fourth quarter, and Nash definitely bears the greatest responsibility!

The entire Suns team, except for Nash, had a bad touch, making only 22 of 7 shots and scoring only 17 points. Marion had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Martin had 14 points and 7 rebounds, Barbosa had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Jones had 9 points, and Thomas had 11 points and 7 rebounds.

Seven players on the Suns scored in double digits, well, only seven people scored!

Their head coach D'Antoni brought out his label and style to the fullest tonight.

The main players were killed, and the rotation lineup was very short, with 7 players playing almost the entire game.

Four players on the team played for more than 4 minutes, a standard Suns rotation.

On the other side, the Knicks, Lin Tian's triple-double of 45 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists did not look much better than Nash's 40+15, but the two had 8 turnovers and one had only 2 turnovers, which is definitely a world of difference from this point of view.

Not to mention the huge gap between the two on the defensive end, this evening, Lin Tian could definitely be said to have beaten Nash!
In addition to Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire played very well against his old team in the parallel world, scoring a big double-double of 33 points and 14 rebounds, becoming the second highest scorer on the team. Then there was Anthony with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. He also had the upper hand against Pierce throughout the game tonight!

In addition to the team's three musketeers who continued to perform well, Hill scored 13 points tonight, and all of them came in the second half. His back-to-the-basket play really made Nash suffer.

In addition, Okur scored 12 points, Barnes scored 9 points, and Smith, Ariza, Wallace and others also scored.

The Knicks played a long rotation tonight, with 11 players on the court, 10 of whom scored points, only Lin Tian played for more than 40 minutes, and 7 players played for more than 20 minutes.

Although both sides focus on offense, the rotation styles of the head coaches and the data of both sides are enough to show the huge difference between the two teams.

"The Suns have fewer players. They had 8-9 players in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they only had 7 players." After the game, Payton talked about it: "And at this point in the season, these 7 players have played nearly 100 games!"

"Their physical strength is a huge problem. Whether they can maintain their form is also a huge problem. The deeper the season and the deeper the series go, the more likely it is that their bodies and form will have problems!"

"This is the finals! The Suns are using so few players. They really can only pray that nothing goes wrong with their players."

Miller continued: "Yes, in the middle of the fourth quarter, the fatigue of the Suns players could be clearly felt. Their condition declined significantly, especially Nash's series of consecutive turnovers! Of course, Lin's defense was impeccable, but the decline in physical strength was also an important reason for the mistakes that could not be ignored."

"If the Knicks use this strategy in the next game, what should the Suns do? How will they respond? Can they generate new energy from their dried-up bodies?"

"If the problems of physical fitness and rotation are not solved, it will be difficult for the Suns to be a match for the Knicks!"

"Because I always feel that the Knicks are almost an enhanced version of the Suns!"

"They have a better 3, a better defensive , a younger , a bigger and a better shooting !"

"You're just talking nonsense, Reggie! You're just talking nonsense." Payton seized the opportunity again and couldn't wait to say, "Why don't you say that the Suns have a more aggressive center, a more flexible center, a more experienced center, and a center who can shoot better?"

"What about the number one position?" Miller immediately asked back.

"I was able to easily refute four of your five positions, and you still have the nerve to ask me about the last one? That's the little face I'm leaving for you!"

"Face? Humph, do you think the sun will win?"

"Of course the Knicks will win. The odds between these two teams are 37-7, Knicks !"

"Then why are you refutinizing me? You obviously share the same opinion as me, but you are still refuting me. It's really stupid for you to refute just for the sake of refuting! My son is more mature than you, you childish guy!"

"You said I'm stupid?"

"Not just stupid, but childish! A childish stupid dog!"

"FUXX! Fuck you, I'm XXX!"

"I treat you as a brother, and you actually ask about my mom? Come on, nigger, come on! Let's see who will leave lying down today! Where are the staff? Don't fucking talk nonsense into my headphones. What the fuck do you mean by calm? When have I ever been calm in my life? Call an ambulance for me!"

"Help me call an ambulance for this damn nigger, I want to kill him!"

"Come! Come! See who will be taken away by the ambulance, you fucking nigger. I'm not only going to greet your mother, but also your virtuous grandmother! Oh, I forgot, you don't have a father, so you don't have a damn grandmother either!"

…The TNT studio signal was suddenly cut off.

Many viewers protested, saying that they were just in the middle of the most exciting part, why did the signal get cut off? It was not satisfying!

TNT was also helpless.

These two brothers are really a perfect match! Instead of saying goodbye after the game, they started arguing? Not to mention the ratings of this segment of the two people quarreling with each other, the show was overtime!

There are various advertisements to be broadcast later, as well as other programs!

How can I let the two of you mess around like this?

In particular, the insults between the two men became more and more outrageous. They were no longer just discussing the game and basketball, but started to target each other's relatives and entire families.

If the signal is not cut off, TNT will be receiving all kinds of complaint letters tonight!

Those fans with good manners might be able to flood TNT’s headquarters with their saliva!
"From now on, I will never let these two bastards appear in the studio again! Block them completely! Any! I mean any show, I don't want to see these two bastards again!"

The person in charge of this program is completely furious.

The discussion a few days ago was outrageous enough, but the audience liked it.

If they like it, then TNT will dare to bring these two guys back into the show.

But tonight, it was obviously too much, over the bottom line! Definitely over the bottom line!
At this moment, the entire TNT backstage missed Barkley and Kenny so much.

Compared to these two bastards who were still bickering in the studio, those two guys were like Ivy League graduates and top British gentlemen.

And those fans who liked this segment...

"Boss, the ratings for our last few minutes broke the record for the finals."

"Finals record? What record can this crap break!"

"It's the record for the smallest drop in ratings during the guest chat and summary session after the game among all the games in the history of the first game of the finals."

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand."

"The peak viewing rate of a game is usually in the fourth quarter, which is the most exciting time of the game. Most people will watch the game at this time. The lowest viewing rate is when the two guests analyze and summarize the game after the game."

"Usually at this time, the ratings will drop precipitously, with an average drop of 77%."

"But tonight, the number was only 41%! That is to say, 59% of the audience did not change the channel or turn off the TV after the game, but watched the two people quarreling on TV with relish. Even the number of people watching the post-match ads increased."

"So many people like to watch this?" The person in charge of TNT stared at the cold numbers in a daze. After a moment of silence, he said, "Bring Charles and Kenny back. Let the four of them speak in the next game!"

"FUXX! If the audience likes it, let them watch it! Let them be satisfied! Like to watch people curse? Damn it, I'll let you watch it to your heart's content!"

"But you also have to remind Charles and Kenny that their mission is not to get involved or to let the fight escalate out of control. Their mission is to stabilize the situation and let the other two bastards quarrel within the bottom line to attract the audience."

"Fuck it, I never thought in my life that I would do a show like this!"

After mumbling something, the person in charge on the scene left. As for what he just said about blocking, blacklisting, and never hiring again...

He himself has forgotten it, so how could his subordinates remember it?

Everyone will be happy if they forget everything.

"I could play that defense on Steve for 48 minutes if I wanted to."

At the post-match press conference, the question Lin Tian was asked most often was, of course, about his extremely successful defense against Nash in those few minutes. This guy, who had just been so tired that he wanted to stick out his tongue because of those few rounds of defense, quickly changed his expression in front of the reporters.

Relaxed, freehand, confident and arrogant.

The main character is shameless and shameless.

"But we noticed that several times after your defensive rounds, you were gasping for breath, holding your knees, and gasping for breath."

"I'm yawning. I'm sleepy."

"Are you sleepy? In the finals, at home, at a crucial moment, when the outcome is unpredictable, are you sleepy?"

"Yes, I'm sleepy." Lin Tian nodded seriously, blinking his eyes, looking like he really did.

Believe it or not!

The reporters below rolled their eyes in disgust, saying they had never seen such a shameless guy.

Are you not tired? Can you still defend like this for 48 minutes without a break?
Do you really think we don’t understand football?

Even if we don't play basketball, we know that kind of defense. Even if you let Batman come, he will have to lie on the ground in a state of exhaustion in 5 minutes.

But looking at Lin Tian’s determined eyes and label, the reporters knew that this bastard would not admit it even if they were asked again. If they were asked again, he would just say: I can do it. I didn’t do it because I didn’t want to, not because I couldn’t.

"How much can the data tell us? 40+15 and 45+10 may not seem to be much different, but their actual effects are worlds apart!"

"Even though he scored 40+15, he was still beaten? How terrifying is Lin?"

"3 minutes of extreme defense made Nash and the Suns collapse. Let's look back at how Lin locked up the MVP!"

《MVP battle! Lin won the first game of the finals! 》

"Take turns to back-attack Nash! Tonight Nash's bed is full of the butts of the Knicks forwards!"

"Anyone would have broken ribs! Here are all the Knicks players who played against Nash tonight!"

……

Tonight's various headlines and discussions basically have the same content.

Nash is great, but he was still beaten by Lin Tian.

Nash was great, but he was bullied and shattered by the Knicks.

Nash is great, but he probably broke three ribs tonight.

Nash was great, but he had seen more men's ass tonight than he had ever seen in his life.

In short, he was miserable, he was badly exposed.

"FUXX!"

In the hotel where the Phoenix Suns were staying, the usually elegant Nash once again swore.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him, there is nothing he can do about it.

No matter who it is, if they watch all kinds of news for half an hour and find that it is all about what happens between their butts and those of different men, they will swear.

"In the next game, I'm going to kill the Knicks! I'm going to make them pay the price!" Nash stood up angrily and called the team's trainer and analyst.

D'Antoni did not arrange any training, but Nash wanted to study the Knicks' games by himself. He wanted to see how he could defeat the Knicks and Lin Tian!
Even if we can't defeat Lin Tian, ​​we must at least defeat Nix! (End of this chapter)
