NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Can he discover Lin Tian’s weaknesses and find a way to defeat the Knicks by watching the video crazily without interruption and resting for 48 hours?
At least Nash and D'Antoni obviously can't do it.

D'Antoni only has so many players he can use and dares to use, so he rotates 7 players. Change the formation? Substitute?
He has no basis for changing formations at all.

7 people, what will happen?

As for Nash, after watching two days of video, he only saw despair.

Not only did he not figure out how to deal with the Knicks' crazy targeting of him on the offensive end: constantly backing him down.

At the same time, he couldn't think of how to deal with Lin Tian's sudden and crazy defense, which was like cheating.

Even though Lin Tian's defense could not last long, at most 2-3 minutes, at most 3-4 rounds, this guy had to stop.

But there was no way the Suns could last those few minutes.

It can't be done, it can't be done at all!
With Nash's thinking and D'Antoni's inability to do anything, the second game between the two sides at Madison Square Garden almost became a replica of the first game.

In the first three quarters, the Knicks used back-to-the-basket and targeted offense to constantly consume Nash, causing Nash's physical strength to be quickly depleted.

In the first three quarters, the Suns were still able to hold on and were still able to not be pulled away by the Knicks. At the end of the third quarter, they were tied with the Knicks again.

But in the fourth quarter, Lin Tian suddenly attacked again with 5 minutes left in the game and launched an extremely fierce full-court defense against Nash.

Although Nash was well prepared this time and made full use of his teammates' cover, he did not suffer the embarrassing incident of being repeatedly intercepted by Lin Tian one-on-one.

But that's about it.

The Suns' offense stagnated again during this period. In three consecutive minutes, the Suns only scored 3 points, while the Knicks scored 2 points during this period!
With a 14:2 wave, the Knicks once again expanded their lead to as much as 15 points!
The suspense of the game basically ended there.

After this game, the Suns were never able to narrow the gap to within 10 points again. They could no longer close the gap close enough to keep the game suspenseful.

One minute before the end of the game, it was Nelson who took the lead in making substitutions, replacing all the main players in advance, and the main players on the Suns team had to play the last minute.

Of course, in this situation where the outcome was already decided, although the main players of the Suns did not go down to rest, they did not try too hard either, and the physical consumption was negligible.

This night, Lin Tian performed better than the night before!
Perhaps because he failed to force Nash into making consecutive low-level mistakes through defense, Lin Tian vented all his anger on offense. It was as if Lin Tian tonight was almost exactly the same as he was the day before. He was slightly restrained in the first three quarters and then went on a crazy attack in the fourth quarter!
That night, Lin Tian scored 22 points in the final quarter and had a near triple-double of 54 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game!

The Suns' already fragile and insignificant defense was completely shattered by Lin Tianchong!
Nash's performance tonight was still good. He controlled his turnovers and reduced his turnovers from 8 in the previous game to 4. At the same time, his number of assists did not decrease at all and remained at 15 assists.

But because he focused too much energy on dealing with Lin Tian's defense, his touch tonight was far worse than in the previous game.

He only made 25 of 10 shots and scored only 29 points in total.

If we say that Nash in the previous game was able to fight back and forth with Lin Tian in terms of statistics, but his actual effect and influence on the court were far inferior, then in this game, Nash was completely crushed by Lin Tian in terms of statistics, influence and actual role!
Not a match at all.

These two MVPs of the past two years and the recognized top two guards in the league, the winner was definitely decided in the first two games of the finals!

The Knicks successfully defended their home court. They easily won two consecutive victories at home. They got off to a dream start!

The Suns had to accept the most unacceptable outcome and returned to Phoenix with a 0:2 deficit.

The next third battle will be their do-or-die battle and their last chance!

If they lose the next game, then facing the desperate situation of 0:3, it will be difficult for them to have any chance of turning the tables.

But if it's 1:2, then everything is possible!
In other words, this is the Suns' last chance!
They got it!

In the third game of the series, the Suns finally seized the opportunity!
They successfully defended their home court, won a game and changed the score to 1:2!

The biggest contributor of the game was not Nash, who once again scored 25 points and 14 assists.

The hero who helped the Suns win tonight was Paul Pierce, who had a very poor performance in the first two games with a shooting percentage of only 37%!

That night, Pierce, who returned to his home court, continued to score points with inside and outside shots. No one could defend him, no matter whether it was Barnes, Anthony, or substitutes Smith and Wallace, and no one could slow down his crazy firepower on the offensive end.

这个晚上的皮尔斯彻底杀疯了，他27投15中，3分球7投5中，罚球11罚10中，轰下45分7篮板4助攻的惊人数据！
In the last 3 minutes of the game, when Lin Tian opened fire and kept scoring goals to close the score and narrow the gap, it was Pierce's madness that helped the Suns successfully maintain their lead.

终场前的最后3分钟，林天是5投4中，3分球3投2中拿下10分！
而皮尔斯在这段时间内也是4投4中，3分球1投1中拿下9分！
The confrontation between these two people in the final moments has become the most exciting 3 minutes of this series so far!

The two fought back and forth, neither of them gave in. Both of them were blood-thirsty, and both of them carried the team on their shoulders at the last moment!
40 seconds before the end of the game, the Knicks narrowed the gap to 3 point with a 1-pointer from Lin Tian!
But less than 10 seconds later, Pierce used his fifth three-pointer of the night to continue to maintain the team's 5-point advantage.

Then Lin Tian rushed to the frontcourt again. Seeing that there was not much time left, Lin Tian did not choose to rush in and get an easy 2 points, but shot directly from outside the 3-point line.

"Boom!"

But unfortunately, Lin Tian, ​​who had scored 4 goals in a row before, missed the last goal!
With the shot missed and the rebound grabbed by Martin, the outcome of the game was officially decided!
The Suns won the game with a 4-point advantage!

127: 131!

The Suns have gained a little bit of power to breathe and continue to survive!

They won the third game and preserved their chance to win the first championship in team history.

That night, despite Pierce's outburst, the Knicks' performance was indeed unsatisfactory.

Anthony, who was facing off against him, was completely beaten. He received two fouls in the first four minutes of the first quarter and was finally sent off with six fouls. He only played for 4 minutes intermittently and scored only 6 points.

In addition, Barnes, Okur and others also had very bad shooting tonight. They kept missing shots. The only one who gave Lin Tian some support on the offensive end was Stoudemire, who scored 30 points and 9 rebounds!

As for Lin Tian himself, he scored 22 points again in the final quarter tonight, and scored a triple-double of 53 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in the whole game! His performance was still crazy and explosive, and his output, especially in the fourth quarter, was still jaw-dropping.

But unfortunately, the Knicks tonight encountered Pierce, who was almost the craziest since his debut.

They were beaten to a pulp by Pierce!

With the score at 2:1, the criticality of the next fourth game will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Especially when the format of the finals is still 2-3-2, if the Knicks fail to capture the Suns' home court in Game 3 and fail to change the score to 1:, they will be in big trouble, because the decisive Game will still be at the Suns' home court!

With two consecutive wins, the Phoenix team must be in high spirits and fighting to the death!
If they take advantage of this crazy momentum and win the decisive game in one go, the Knicks will be passive.

Even if the next two games are at the Knicks' home court, and even if the Knicks can play the next two games in Madison Square Garden, they will inevitably be under a surge of pressure.

After all, if the Suns get the match point and force us into a desperate situation, everything will be unpredictable!

But if the Knicks can win the fourth game and change the score to 3:1, everything will be completely different.

The fourth game is the real decisive battle!

Well...it's the real decisive battle again.

The first, second and third games before were also real decisive battles.

Do not conflict!
Anyway, the real decisive battle is about to begin!
……

"Game 4 will most likely be more exciting than Game 3! Game 4 will most likely be another peak showdown between the two sides!" Before the start of Game 4, the four-man team of TNT had once again sat in their respective seats.

After the farce of the first game and the running-in in the second and third games, the cooperation between these four guys is now becoming more and more professional.

After Kenny opened the game, Payton followed up by saying, "It is crucial for the Suns that Pierce can recover! Because this team originally relied heavily on Nash's performance, and Nash is their only core!"

"With or without Nash, these are two completely different teams! I think the Suns management has also taken this into consideration, so they will hollow out their rotation lineup that they rarely use and go all out to get Pierce back."

"They hope to find another starting point for the team, a guy with enough independent offensive ability to support the team's offense when Nash is tired and needs to rest or when Nash is targeted by others!"

"In the first two games of the series, Pierce did not do well, but in the third game, he completed the task perfectly and beyond expectations! He held up! If Pierce can do this again tonight, then tonight's game will definitely be more exciting!"

Kenny followed up, "For the Knicks, their biggest problem is that they don't have enough defensive resources to target Pierce. Lin can handle Nash, but who can handle Pierce? I think their approach for this game is to start from the offensive end! Use the offense of Anthony and others to consume Pierce." "Don't let him have enough energy to attack! Offense against offense is their only way!"

"It's not that the Knicks don't have defensive resources." Miller sneered and said, "Wallace, Smith, and Barnes are all good defensive players, but when they were on the Knicks, they were not needed to perform and did not need to do more."

"If old Nelson is willing to play defense, this team can become a brand new defensive team under Lin's leadership in a matter of minutes! It's just that the old man is more stubborn!"

"But we all know that old Nelson is just stubborn, not stupid. He has many ways to handle the game. When necessary, he will not insist on the so-called principle of not defending. He will let the team come up with the necessary defensive strategies!"

"Lin locked Nash, which was Nelson's best move! So I'm really looking forward to Nelson's arrangement in this game!"

Before Kenny finished speaking, Barkley couldn't wait to say, "You can use staggered defense! Let Linqu defend Pierce! He has done this before. The last time his team met the Celtics who still had Pierce, they used this trick to win the game!"

"Ball blind!"

"idiot!"

"Stupid fat pig!"

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, the other three couldn't wait to start criticizing him.

"The Celtics didn't have a qualified point guard back then, so it was okay for Lin to switch defense," Kenny raged.

"You let others defend Nash? You are a fan of Nash, right?" Payton also angrily criticized.

"Even an idiot knows who is more terrifying between Nash and Pierce on this Suns team," Miller continued angrily.

"If you've ever watched football, you wouldn't say such stupid things!"

"If it weren't for Lin defending Nash, then the rest of the Knicks would be wasted and just sent to waste!"

"If it wasn't for Lin, and someone else played against Nash, I think he could score 40 points and 20 assists tonight!"

"After such a perfect performance tonight, Nash will definitely hug Charles' thigh and thank him! If it weren't for his perfect strategy, the Suns would definitely not win this game tonight!"

"Steve Charles! Nash's biological son!"

"It must be Nash's pet. Nash can't give birth to such a fat black man."

"If the Knicks adopt Charles' strategy, then Steve, who is completely liberated tonight, will definitely be able to turn the score to 2:2!"

Barkley was confused, completely confused.

He could never have imagined that just one sentence from him could cause three people in the audience to blast him with a barrage of crazy criticism.

He really couldn't say anything back, and he really couldn't find a chance to refute.

There's nothing we can do about it. Two of those three are among the top five foul-mouthed people in NBA history, and the remaining one, Kenny, has been completely let loose and is merciless when he insults people.

Just spray it to death!
"Great job! They did a great job!" Behind the scenes of TNT, the person in charge waved his fist excitedly and said, "I knew they could find the chemistry. I knew they could handle everything on their own!"

"I know that too. They can definitely handle everything on their own! Look, everyone has a clear division of labor! Charles is responsible for being bullied, besieged and ridiculed, Kenny is responsible for controlling the overall situation and applying the appropriate brakes to stabilize the situation, and Reggie and Gary are the sharp-tongued duo, responsible for scolding people and heating up the atmosphere!"

"These four people can do it! They will definitely do it!"

"Not only are these four great at playing basketball, they are also damn talented at hosting shows! Geniuses!"

The person in charge apparently forgot how he yelled at four people a few days ago and how his hair fell out in clumps, and the four people on the stage obviously didn't understand things like chemical reactions, clear division of labor, and character settings.

They just simply like to argue with each other.

It's that simple.

But no matter what, the fourth game in the series between the two sides is about to begin!
The players on both sides have already walked onto the field, ready to kick off!

"You want to defend me?" Pierce looked at Lin Tian who was standing next to him and couldn't help but said, "You want to be completely beaten by me, right, Lin?"

"If you can do this, you won't fail to beat me even once in your life! Do you remember how many times you lost to me in a series in your life? Five times or ten times?"

"It doesn't matter!" Pierce gritted his teeth and said, "I will win this time!"

"The guys who have said the same lines as you can line up from here to Paris. If you don't stop and continue to say harsh words, I think you'll have to buy a ticket to Tokyo to line up." Lin Tian of course responded to Pierce's harsh words without hesitation.

Give you face? Impossible!
In Mr. Lin’s dictionary, there is no such thing as giving someone a step back to save their face.

No matter who wins or loses the pre-match threats between Lin Tian and Pierce, Barkley has already started dancing in the TNT studio.

"Three idiot niggers who don't know anything about football, you still have the nerve to talk about me?"

"Do you know basketball? Hmm? Do you know how to play basketball?"

"The great Sir Charles will teach you how to play basketball! He will teach you how to adapt! Adaptation means using your strongest skill to defeat the opponent's strongest skill!"

"A real man faces challenges head-on!"

"In the previous games, the strongest and most important player was Steve Nash, so Lin locked him down. Starting tonight, the most important player for the Suns may be Pierce, so Lin will continue to kill him!"

"This is Lin! This is a real man!"

"And this is Charles, the man who knows the most about football here! I am the Charles who knows more about football than all of you idiots combined!"

Barkley was so proud of himself, as if he had won the championship.

He scolded the remaining three by himself. He was so invincible that no one could talk back at all.

Who made this fat guy so right?

Then, less than a minute after Barkley had been proud of himself, Kenny began to fight back.

"Reggie, who do you think will win this game?"

"I'm optimistic about the Suns because they are still in the last-ditch stage. They can't afford to lose and are under more pressure. Gary, what about you?"

"I think the Knicks have a better chance of winning. They are more relaxed and stronger, and they are more likely to play a wonderful game."

"I think what you two said makes sense. It's hard to say who will win or lose in this game." Kenny laughed and acted as a peacemaker: "The strength of the two sides is similar. The Suns have the advantage of home court, and the Knicks have a better lineup."

"This game will most likely last until the last minute!"

"That makes sense." Payton nodded silently.

"Kenny is worthy of it." Miller also gave Kenny a thumbs up, which was very rare.

The three of them reached a tacit understanding in the blink of an eye, completely ignoring Barkley's yelling, and started chatting nonsense among themselves.

This disregard made Barkley furious...

Well, he didn't.

He was so angry that his hair was about to pop out of his head.

Blasted!

Fortunately, the game had already started, and the bickering among the four people had to come to an end. (End of this chapter)
