NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

As usual, there were two full days between Game 5 and Game 6 of the Finals, so that the players of both teams could get as much rest as possible after traveling across the East and West.

It is also to make the next two games more beautiful and exciting.

During the two days of waiting, fans from all walks of life also had various discussions and exchanges.

They all agreed that Game 6 would be the most exciting and best-looking game of this series so far!
This game is definitely not to be missed!
At the same time, this game is also very important for Lin Tian and others!

This is a crucial battle that determines whether the Knicks can complete their dynasty and become the defending champions!
If they lose this game, the Knicks, who are dragged into a seventh game, will lose all their advantages. The Suns are likely to make a comeback and become the first team in the history of the Finals to complete a reversal after falling behind 1:3!
It was also on this night that the Knicks fans, who had never won consecutive championships in team history, fell into deep madness!

The more than 19000 tickets in Madison Square Garden were sold out early, and outside Madison Square Garden were filled with scalpers holding signs and selling tickets at high prices.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the square outside Madison! Most of these fans did not have tickets. They just wanted to watch the team's championship moment from a distance outside the stadium and share the joy of consecutive championships!
The same is true in the streets, bars, squares, parks and even church entrances in every block of New York City, all filled with crazy fans.

All police forces in New York were mobilized that night, regardless of whether they were on vacation or not, everyone had to patrol the streets.

Otherwise, who knows what these crazy fans will do tonight.

In a sense, the people who most hope that the Knicks will win the finals may not be the fans or the players.

It's the mayor of New York, the New York police commissioner, and the like. If they lose, if the crazy fans get out of control...

I dare not even think about it!
Win! You must win!

Just when the whole of New York was almost in a frenzy and carnival, players from the Knicks and Suns had already quietly entered Madison Garden.

Needless to say, the Suns dared not show up on the streets of New York at this time? What if some madman really did something crazy? Even if the probability of this happening was infinitely close to 0, no one dared to gamble like that.

Even when the Suns left the hotel, they went through the back door and the underground parking lot, and left the hotel stealthily on a brand new bus.

The same goes for the Knicks players. They didn't dare to appear in public at this time, not because they were afraid of American Iai.

What they are worried about is that the fans will be too excited and too crazy, so that something unplanned will happen.

For example, incidents like trampling and road blocking are something no one can afford now!
In short, everyone, including Lin Tian, ​​was extremely low-key before the game.

And Lin Tian once again realized what it meant that except for New York, everything else is else.

In terms of economy and city size, Los Angeles can still compete with New York.

But when it comes to madness, obsession and die-hard loyalty, Knicks fans can definitely beat Lakers fans to the ground.

As for the reason, it's actually simple.

There are a lot more decent people over there in Los Angeles.

There are so many public figures and so many people around them that it is inevitable that a large number of people will be cautious in what they say and do to avoid any trouble.

And what is most abundant in New York?
Gang members, blue-collar workers, immigrants from all over the world, second-generation rich, second-generation politicians, financial hooligans...

The rich here highlights a person who is rich, crazy and reckless.

Dolan and Hilton are both representative figures.

The poor here are outspoken, crazy and reckless.

All the New York players who entered the NBA are representative figures.

In short, with the whole city in a frenzy, the players of the two teams gathered in their respective locker rooms and began the final mobilization.

"I think everyone heard what Lin said after Game 5." D'Antoni asked his players to form a circle around him. He looked at them and said, "He didn't take us seriously! He thought we were lucky to win Game 5!"

"He thinks he can manipulate us at will. He thinks he can win the series and the championship as long as he exerts himself! He is arrogant! He is self-righteous! He looks down on others!"

"So, I won't say too much. Tonight, we are not playing for the championship, we are not playing for glory, and we are not even playing for profit!"

"Tonight, we fight for our dignity! We want to tell the world: looking down on us is the biggest mistake Lin has ever made!"

"Let them know how powerful we are!"

"Yes!"

D'Antoni's passionate speech made all the Suns players in the locker room cheer! After Pierce's buzzer-beater, their confidence and morale were already at their peak, and now D'Antoni's speech was like pouring hot oil on them.

No need to light them, they will ignite instantly!

"Paul." After finishing his speech to everyone, D'Antoni suddenly looked at Pierce. His tone returned to calm, and he looked at Pierce and said, "You didn't make the All-Stars. Your ranking in the All-Star voting was 9th among Western Conference forwards and 15th among league forwards!"

"Among these 15 people, there are 7 small forwards. Do you think there are 14 small forwards in this league who are better than you?"

"None of those seven players has ever scored 7 points in the finals, and none of them has ever hit a buzzer beater in the finals. Even more than half of them have never seen the finals floor!"

"Paul, no matter what others say, in my heart, you are the best small forward in the league! Tonight, you have to continue your performance and prove to the world that D'Antoni is right! D'Antoni is the guy in the world who is least likely to make mistakes!"

"I will kill Anthony!" Pierce's face was gloomy, and his small eyes exuded fierce light. The personal relationship with Lin Tian had been completely left behind by him.

"Steve, if there is a No. 1 player in this world who can beat Lin and be better than Lin, I think that person must be you! Only you."

"I'm not that confident." This time, Nash didn't follow D'Antoni's words. Instead, he stood up and swept the court on behalf of D'Antoni, saying calmly, "But I don't need to beat him, and I don't need to be better than him."

"Lin is the best individual in this league, this is undeniable. But we are the best team in this league! I have the best and most amazing teammates in this league!"

"Maybe I will lose, and I will almost certainly be beaten by Lin again! But I believe that we will not lose! We will kill them!"

"This game is not about me and him, it's about us and them!"

"Let's win the last two games! Let's tell the world who will be the champion this year!"

"It belongs to us! It belongs to Phoenix!"

"Win the championship!"

The Suns' locker room has been completely ignited.

They are ready!

……

The home team's locker room, which is several times better than the visiting team's locker room in terms of area, configuration and luxury, is now quite messy.

Old Nelson sat in the middle of the locker room, watching the players busying around and moving around with a smile.

Lin Tian was standing next to him, giving instructions. "Matt, is the champagne ready? How many bottles are ready? What? Only 30 bottles? Isn't that an insult? Can't we afford to drink or play? I'll give you 10 minutes to find me 100 bottles! If you can't find enough, go find James. Our boss is always very generous!"

"Mello?"

When Anthony heard Lin Tian point to him, he quickly said, "The venue has been booked! The most luxurious place, a super large private room, big enough for all our players, coaches, team doctors, and uniform staff to fit in!"

"Amare?" Lin Tian continued to call on people.

"Don't worry, little girl!" Stoudemire said with a wicked smile, "I even prepared some girls for the Phoenix players to comfort them for their loss of the championship!"

"I've already given the order. After the game, we must gather at least 20 buckets of ice! We guarantee that we'll have a great time!" Without Lin Tian's instruction, O'Kurt stood up and reported on his work.

……

"Very good! Then finally..." After more than a dozen players made various reports, Lin Tian clapped his hands in satisfaction, asked everyone to look at him and said: "Finally, it's my task."

"I will lead you to win the damn championship tonight! Everyone, think of your championship declaration tonight, think of your feelings about winning the championship, or you can find some reporters, writers or something, and prepare your own autobiography!"

"Tonight, I'm responsible for guarding Pierce! Hit a buzzer-beater in front of me? I'll let him..."

"Leave Pierce to me!" Lin Tian had just said half of his words when Anthony stood up and interrupted Lin Tian. This was definitely the first time in the three years of their cooperation!
"It was my fault in the last game. I didn't receive your signal, boss. I couldn't get through the defense. You helped me shoulder everything after the game and helped me withstand all the criticism and public opinion. The rest is up to me!"

"I'll guard Pierce! I'll watch him to death!"

"Good job! That's what a real man does!" Lin Tian gave a thumbs up and said, "I'll leave Pierce to you. I'll continue to deal with Nash. I'll let him experience what hell is like!"

At this point, Lin Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "No one will snatch it from me this time, right?"

As soon as this was said, there was another round of laughter at the scene, and then old Nelson stood up with a smile and said, "Well, you should take a break, unless you want me to leave and take my share of the salary as well."

Nelson's words made the atmosphere more relaxed. He said in a relaxed manner: "We didn't change in the last game. We played the most direct basketball from beginning to end. Then, after we lost, many people said that I didn't change and I took it for granted."

“That’s why we lost.”

"So, I decided that for this game, we will not make any changes. We will still play the game as before! We will continue with our previous tactics! We will continue with man-to-man defense, we will continue with the previous starting lineup, and we will continue with the previous offensive tactics!"

"I'm inflexible? Am I too stubborn? Am I outdated?"

“Children, go tell them: We are not unchanging, we do not need to change!”

"We can win the game by using the simplest, most basic, most casual and most enjoyable playing style!"

"Okay, it's about time." Nelson stopped talking and stopped giving any morale-boosting words. He glanced at the entire court and suddenly stopped smiling. He lowered his voice and said, "Go ahead and win the game! Win the championship!"

"Yes! Win the game and win the championship!"

In the Knicks' locker room, from beginning to end, only this last slogan gave them a slight sense of atmosphere.

The atmosphere of the finals!
Here, there is no chicken soup, no excited roars, not too much inspiring and passionate chicken soup, and the players don't even need to show too much determination.

Because all the Knicks know: They don't need that!
No need to prepare that tonight!
At this point in the game, if the head coach still needs to cook up some chicken soup for the team to play at the highest level, then the Knicks have no qualifications to compete for the championship!

This kind of confidence and self-confidence is the biggest difference between a dynasty team and an ordinary championship team!

Although this Knicks team has only won one championship so far, they have Lin Tian!
With Lin Tian here, this team will definitely have this level of confidence and momentum!
A few minutes later, players from both sides walked into the stadium one after another. Regardless of booing or cheering, the fans at the scene put all their energy into it!

Both the Knicks and the Suns received the craziest greeting gifts from the fans!

Players from both teams, fans, commentators, and spectators are all ready!

Everything depends on this crucial battle!

"Neither side changed their starting lineups!" Barkley was the first to exclaim after seeing the starting lineups submitted by both sides: "These two head coaches are so stubborn!"

"But on the other hand, these two head coaches are also confident enough!" Payton followed up, "They both believe that their current choices and lineups will allow them to win in the end!"

"So now, it's the peak showdown between the two most offensive teams in the league! Will it go into a game seven, or will the winner be decided tonight?" Kenny quickly responded.

"Everything depends on tonight's game! The referee has already walked onto the court. Let's count down together: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The ball is kicked off!" Miller was the last one to speak. The combination of these four people is becoming more and more tacit!
"Snapped!"

This time, the first wave of ball possession was passed to Lin Tian by O'Neal. After Lin Tian got the ball, he suddenly swung it long and threw it with one hand towards an open space in the frontcourt. When the basketball was about to fly out of bounds and Lin Tian was about to make a mistake at the beginning of the game, Anthony suddenly appeared!

Anthony received the basketball with his hands very comfortably, as if he and the basketball had made an appointment to meet here. After getting the ball, Anthony did not stop, but quickly pushed the ball forward, and in two steps he reached the edge of the three-second zone and faced Pierce who was rushing over to retreat.

Facing Pierce, Anthony's speed and reaction were incredibly fast. With a powerful left-handed blast and a misdirection, he slightly shook Pierce's center of gravity. Then, Anthony suddenly did a signature roller turn, shook off Pierce in the blink of an eye, rushed to the basket, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!

2: 0!

The Knicks started the game with a signature fast break and took the lead!
However, the Knicks were fast, and the Suns were not slow at all. Pierce did not seem frustrated at all because of being dunked by Anthony. He quickly turned around and went to the baseline and passed the ball immediately.

Nash received the basketball, and then, contrary to his usual habit, he did not observe first, then predict, and then accelerate, but reversed the order.

Speed ​​up first, then see what else happens!

Anyway, a point guard like Nash who can go fast or slow and can brake at any time, no matter how hard he buries his head and rushes, it is unlikely that he will fail to brake in time and cause mistakes or misattacks.

Just go ahead and be confident!
Nash rushed all the way to the frontcourt, but when he was 3 meters away from the three-point line, he had to slow down because Lin Tian's defense was there!
Then Martin quickly moved forward, turned sideways and provided a screen with Nash.

Okur, who was originally defending Nash, reacted quickly, stepped forward to block Nash, and wanted to force him to make a mistake together with Lin Tian.

But who is Nash?

This guy is the second best point guard in active service. His vision and passing ability are among the best in the league!
Just when Okur moved forward to double-team Lin Tian, ​​Nash had already reached back with one hand and made a ground pass behind his back. The basketball quickly passed between Okur's legs, passed through his defense, and landed in the hands of Martin who had just come up.

Facing Stoudemire who came to assist in defense, Martin was naturally not afraid at all. The two beastly inside players who entered the league after the new century jumped almost at the same time. Both of them stretched their bodies completely, jumped with all their strength, and then collided heavily with each other.

"Oh!"

After a dull thud, the two men collided violently in the air, loud enough to break an ordinary person's ribs. In the end, Martin gained the advantage with the impact force brought by his running when he jumped up.

Because the one who suffered a great loss was bounced away by Martin, and then Martin let out a roar and slammed the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Martin, who had performed poorly in the previous few games and had just recovered slightly in the last game, showed a more ferocious side tonight!
After all, for the Suns, this is a life-and-death battle!

Do not!
This is another life-and-death battle for them! (End of this chapter)
