NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

After Lin Tian's 3-pointer, who knows whether it was intentional or a mistake, the Knicks' lead has reached 11 points!

After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Nash did not hesitate too much. He waved to his teammates to move away, creating enough space for Pierce to play one-on-one, and then he immediately passed the ball to Pierce.

Pierce once again pressed his back against Lin Tian and said viciously, "Lin, I won't show mercy in the second quarter! You helped me back then, but for the championship, I must defeat you!"

"You talk too much nonsense! If you keep talking so much nonsense, you will be stabbed 20 times in the nightclub sooner or later!"

"You are the one who got chopped!" Pierce replied, but maybe it was because he immediately thought of Lin Tian's skills, and was afraid that he was the only one who could beat people, and no one could beat him, so he actually felt a little discouraged!
Just as he was feeling discouraged, Lin Tian suddenly slapped the basketball that Pierce was just about to dribble.

Lin Tian stole the ball!
The basketball escaped from Pierce's control and was caught by Hill, who then dribbled the ball forward, pressing the Suns' defense all the way towards the frontcourt.

Not until he got to the free throw line and successfully compressed the Suns' defense did this guy suddenly pass the ball behind his back without even looking at anyone.

Lin Tian, ​​who was following behind him, took the ball with one hand and jumped directly, rushing towards the basket with a posture of fire!

How could the Suns' inside players have time to react? They didn't even have time to get into position before Lin Tian treated them like Huashan and chopped them down!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, the gap between the two sides continued to widen!
Five seconds later, the Suns and Pierce, who refused to believe in evil, once again took their positions.

It’s still Lin Tian, ​​and it’s still Pierce!

"It was you who made the sneak attack just now. You are lucky, Lin! You won't steal the ball from me again!" Pierce wanted to concentrate all his attention when he was talking trash this time. He was nervously observing the movements of Lin Tian behind him. As long as Lin Tian moved a little, he would start immediately and pass Lin Tian cleanly!

But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Lin Tian did not steal the ball. Even when Pierce deliberately exposed the basketball in front of Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian did not fall for it! He just stood behind Pierce!
Just stand still, right?

Pierce felt that Lin Tian must have realized that he was trying to tempt him to steal the ball, so he was concentrating on defending!

This means that Lin Tian must have his feet firmly on the ground with a very stable center of gravity, just waiting to fight against himself!
If you want to fight, come on!

Uncle Pierce, I’ll give you Lin Tian to fight against!

Thinking of this, Pierce no longer hesitated, and suddenly exerted force and rushed towards Lin Tian!

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound, and Pierce bumped into Lin Tian as he wished.

Then just when he was about to dribble the ball, the referee suddenly blew the whistle!

"Offensive foul! Change the ball!"

Pierce was stunned by the referee's firm decision and Lin Tian, ​​who was lying motionless on the floor 3 meters away and still acting.

Can I knock this bastard so far with just one push?
Tyson couldn't knock this bastard that far with just one punch!

You guys were fooled by such fake acting?

Lin Tian, ​​who was lying on the floor, quickly got up with the help of his teammates without even looking at Pierce.

The referee completely ignored Pierce's protest and signaled the Knicks to quickly serve the ball and attack.

Pierce is bound to suffer this loss.

Helplessly, Pierce could only retreat quickly and participate in the defense.

After Lin Tian came to the frontcourt, he faced Nash again quite easily.

"You are going to lose, Steve! Do you know how many points you are behind now?" Lin Tian teased Nash while dribbling the ball between his legs.

"We are still far from losing! We will catch up soon! Paul is just not in good shape!" Nash was very tough, but Lin's words still made him involuntarily glance in the direction of the scoreboard on the big screen.

That’s it!
Lin Tian suddenly jumped up, faced Nash, and made an ultra-long 3-point shot!
"Shh!"

There was another crisp sound, and Lin Tian made another 3-pointer!
Since the start of the second quarter, he has made 3 of 3 shots and scored 8 points in a row!
"Just now it was 13 points." Lin Tian looked at Nash and said, "Now, it's 16 points!"

"FUXX!" Nash couldn't help but swear. He sighed silently: How can someone be so dirty?
It is obvious that even if you, Lin Tian, ​​just pull it up and throw it, Nash will hardly be able to interfere.

Relying on physical fitness, height, jumping speed, bounce, rhythm and other things, Lin Tian is able to complete an easy jump shot in front of Nash.

But he doesn't!

He would use some tricks outside the game, distract himself and then attack, as if this would make him happier.

Lin Tian: That’s right! Nash is the one who understands me! The only purpose of doing this is to make my buddies happier when they score goals!

Whether you rely on your body or your skills, it will bore people.

But it is this behavior of completely breaking down the opponent's defense with just one or two words of trash talk, making it impossible for him to fight back, that makes Lin Tian even happier!

Faced with a 16-point gap, the Suns finally began to realize that something was wrong.

For example, in this round Nash finally rushed into the inside, found Marion, and assisted him to score 2 points!
The Suns only started to score in the second quarter.

But such a small amount of points scored piecemeal is obviously not enough!

Because Lin Tian responded again and made another mid-range jump shot!

On the Suns side, Pierce once again went outside the three-point line, stood at the top of the arc with his hands raised, and Nash's pass arrived immediately.

After Pierce got the ball, he didn't waste any time and just shot it from outside the three-point line!
This move is also one of his and Nash's signature combinations. I don't know how many similar three-pointers Pierce has made this season!

But this time, Pierce's luck was obviously bad. With a dull sound, the basketball bounced out of the basket. Smith soared up like a rocket, and then slapped the basketball that was starting to fall from the highest point.

Then the basketball immediately turned into an orange lightning and flew towards the front court!
"Fuck, is that a black spot?" Lin Tian actually saw some flavor of a cartoon character in Smith's brilliant pass!

This is also Smith's signature.

He can do everything: offense, defense, breakthrough, shooting, passing, and organization.

But he can't do anything well. Each of his abilities can only be regarded as a surprise like a flash of inspiration, but can hardly be regarded as a killer move for a team to win!
Smith can provide timely assistance or add icing on the cake.

But this is all he can do. Do you expect him to be the core and contribute various energies steadily?

Unless he can meet Paul, who is about to enter the conference finals, in every game of his life...

Lin Tian didn't have time to complain too much about Smith, because this guy's pass was really fast, accurate and ruthless!

In almost the blink of an eye, it crossed half of the court and landed right in Lin Tian's hands.

Lin Tian was also not polite. He took the basketball, took three steps, and slammed it towards the basket!
The gap between the two sides has reached 18 points!

Fortunately, although the Suns were getting closer and closer to the 20-point mark, they finally stabilized the situation. Nash finally made a 3-pointer to help the team narrow the gap.

After Nash's shot, the Suns seemed to have finally woken up.

We can’t rely on Pierce’s singles anymore!
We have to rely on ourselves, each of us has to participate in the game, each of us has to score, run, and shoot!
This is the style of play the Suns should have!
So, in the next game, the Suns finally started running again!
Nash hopes to lead the team to once again play a game that's as fast as mercury flowing out of the ground, with seven seconds or less!
After Nash finally changed his thinking and got the team started, the effect they received was immediate!

Marion and Martin each rushed to the basket and completed a dunk!
With their two dunks and Nash's three-pointer, the Suns finally stabilized the situation and temporarily narrowed the gap to 3 points again!
At this time, just when the Suns wanted to continue their charge, old Nelson suddenly called a timeout.

"This timeout was called at the right time! This is definitely a very appropriate time for a timeout." Kenny quickly analyzed: "A timeout at this time can not only rearrange the tactics and let the players calm down, but also interrupt the momentum of the Suns who just wanted to emerge!"

"More importantly, old Nelson is not the kind of person who calls a timeout just to destroy the opponent's momentum. He will definitely make changes next!" Payton continued, "Let's see how he adjusts! Is he going to play against the Suns completely, or change his style and defensive strategy?" "I think both!" Barkley suddenly said again, "He will definitely play against the Suns, and change his matchup, letting Lin continue to play against Nash! Locking down Nash can lock down the running Suns! This is a secret that everyone knows."

……

No one answered and the conversation fell silent again.

Tonight, these three guys clearly wanted to disgust Barkley.

As for the reason?

Can't afford to lose! The three of them were slapped in the face by Lin Tian and Old Nelson, and they couldn't get over it, so they could only bully Barkley for fun, so that they could find some happiness from it!

At least so far, the three of them are quite happy.

But Barkley was on the verge of exploding.

……

"Lin, go match up with Nash and lock him up for me! Then, Melo, Gerald, Mehmet and Josh, the four of you go in! Remember our strategy: shrink the inside line! Get as close to the basket as possible! Melo, you pay extra attention to Pierce, and the rest of you, stand around the 3-second zone!"

"Except for Nash and Pierce, don't worry about the other three. Let them do whatever they want!"

"As for the offensive end, just do what you are best at! Run! Run for me, understand?"

"understand!"

At Nelson's command, the five Knicks players who were called stood up and walked to the court.

"Big lineup?" Payton exclaimed, "Old Nelson actually played a big lineup? Facing the Suns' bombardment tactics, choosing a few big guys is not a good idea!"

"Other teams can't do it, but the Knicks can." Barkley didn't even wait for others to speak, and quickly responded: "Although the Knicks have a large lineup, their athletic ability is super strong! Their three forwards have top athletic ability and running and jumping ability, and their fast break level is not inferior at all!"

"Okur, the only player with average athletic ability, is also a top three-point shooter and space-type inside player! These five people playing together are enough to show how fast old Nelson can change! In the next few minutes, the Knicks will play dominantly on both offense and defense!"

Barkley said a lot in one breath, then stopped slowly and glanced at the three people next to him.

You don't want to answer me, right? You don't want to talk to me, right?

Okay! Then you guys stop talking!
Whoever speaks later, I will grab his microphone! Come on, let's hurt each other!

Miller, who didn't know what Barkley was thinking, ignored Barkley's words and changed the subject: "The five-man team of the Suns is also on the court, let's take a look..."

"No need to watch, what's so good about their lineup? I don't believe D'Antoni would put the eighth man on at this time! Anyway, it's just those seven people who will be adjusted and combined back and forth! I blindly guess that Nash and Pierce will be there!"

"Haha! See, I guessed right!"

Barkley said to himself while looking at the other three people, Okay, you are still ignoring me?
I'm going to do a stand-up comedy tonight!

I don’t need you to take over the conversation tonight, I can handle the commentary by myself!

Let’s see who is begging whom later!
On the court, the game continues.

Lin Tian took the ball from the baseline, but he was not in a hurry to advance quickly.

He knew very well why old Nelson arranged it this way.

The Suns had been playing for more than a quarter with a slow pace and Pierce's one-on-one play. Their players didn't run at all and hardly took any long shots.

In other words, now except for Nash and Pierce, you can let the other players on the Suns dunk and layup without any problem.

Shoot 3 points?
The hands are definitely colder than each other!

In addition, the Suns have decided to play fast, so it is impossible to give too much ball to Pierce for one-on-one play. The ball will be concentrated in Nash's hands!
Therefore, old Nelson asked Lin Tian to target Nash, and asked Anthony to selectively target Pierce.

As for the rest of you, close the basket, defend the offensive basket and open cuts, and protect the rebounds!

This is old Nelson’s defensive strategy at this stage!

Of course, the Knicks have to attack first before they can defend!
After Lin Tian came to the frontcourt, he continued to ignore Nash's defense. After turning around and hitting Nash twice in a row, he faced Nash again, then changed direction and accelerated, rushed past Nash, broke into the inside, and made a jump shot!
"Shh!"

Still on target!

Nash's defense is really the same as nothing for Lin Tian!
As for Nash, he covered his chest and rubbed it twice, feeling really unhappy.

You can just change direction and get past me and shoot, why did you have to hit me twice? Is hitting me twice more comfortable? Does it help improve your shooting feel?

Lin Tian: Yes! After that, everything I eat tastes delicious! I’m so happy!
However, this time Nash did not delay in the backcourt. Instead, he ran as fast as he could after Lin Tian scored the goal. He got away from him as soon as possible, then reached out for the ball. After receiving the basketball, he immediately rushed to the Knicks' basket!
Although Wallace and Smith from the Knicks quickly retreated and stood under the basket, Nash was not afraid at all. He even circled around the basket twice with ease. Then, when Smith and Wallace were a little confused, he suddenly made a low pass.

The basketball drew an elegant arc at a very low altitude. Nash passed the ball near his knees, but when the basketball reached Jones' hands outside the three-point line, it had already reached his chest!

Jones must have been so comfortable receiving this ball!

He didn't have to bend down or chase the ball, he just stood there and the basketball came to his most comfortable spot. Then Jones jumped up comfortably and raised his hands to make a 3-point shot!
This pass shows how good Nash's passing skills are! It shows how strong his passing skills are!
It’s a pity that Jones’ shot was not as good as Nash’s perfect pass!
With a dull thud, the basketball bounced out of the basket. At this time, Nash was the only one standing under the basket from the Suns. Facing two muscular men from the Knicks, Nash wisely turned around and ran, without even considering going for the rebound.

Offensive rebounds, that’s not his problem to worry about!

But Nash's reaction was not fast enough.

He should have started running when Jones shot, instead of waiting until he missed.

When Jones missed his shot, he couldn't catch up with Lin Tian!

At this moment, Lin Tian had once again received a pass from his teammate and rushed to the frontcourt. Outside the 3-point line, he faced the Suns' strongest defender, Marion. Lin Tian used his absolute advantage in speed and agility, and made continuous changes of direction and rhythm, making Marion's defensive footsteps a mess in less than 2 seconds.

Then, Lin Tian suddenly stepped back and stopped, tricking Marion into rushing forward. But then Lin Tian turned around and moved forward again, passing Marion completely without even being able to feel Lin Tian's exhaust gas!
After turning around, Lin Tian happened to be outside the three-point line. After taking a look at the basket, he decisively took a three-point shot!
"Shh!"

Marion flew past him with his body fully opened, trying in vain to interfere with and block Lin Tian's shot. His posture was quite good-looking, and if you ignore his face, then this assist in defense would at least get full marks for the flexibility of the movements!

And now, without his face, he becomes a perfect background!
After Lin Tian made the 3-pointer, another person scored 5:0, widening the score difference to 5 points again!
Then, Lin Tian continued to press Nash, and he kept sticking to Nash from the backcourt, not giving him any chance to breathe.

This sudden high-intensity defense almost caused Nash to make a mistake!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and found Pierce who came back to receive the ball and passed it to him.

After Pierce got the ball, he dribbled across half court and found Jones again. Jones received the ball and quickly threw it to the baseline, which was Marion's favorite position!
Outside the 3-point line, this ugly guy whose shooting posture can be included in textbooks shot the ball in a posture that is simply indescribable.

"Boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and this result perfectly matched Marion's shooting posture.

The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal, and then passed it to Lin Tian immediately.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he did the same thing as before and rushed to the front court at a high speed again.

This time, Lin Tian’s choice is even crazier!

Two steps outside the three-point line, with no Knicks player in front of him in the entire half court but three Suns players, he directly took a long three-point shot!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored 8 points in a row!
The difference between the two sides reached the largest point of the night, 23 points!
And Lin Tian’s madness continues!
After talking about half of the game, there can be no more! (End of this chapter)
