NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 732: Score more than Nash, pass more than Piers! Mr. Lin is invincible!
"The effect after Lin came on the court was really immediate!" Kenny couldn't help but say: "In less than 2 minutes, a wave of 7:0! The Knicks regained the lead! This is a superstar! This is the influence of the top star!"

"It is worth mentioning that during this period, Lin made 3 assists and 1 steal, and also successfully defended Nash! He scored 100 points on the defensive end, and also scored 100 points in driving his teammates to score!"

Barkley followed up, "The pressure is now on Pierce! As a warrior who also came back from the locker room, can Pierce match Lin's firepower and lead the Suns to hold on to or reverse the score?"

70: 72!

In the last 1 minute and 30 seconds of the second quarter, the Knicks led by 2 points!
Still 1 minute and 30 seconds, still almost tied! Everyone knows that at this time in each quarter, it all depends on the strength and energy of the core players and absolute main force of both teams.

Whoever can stabilize the situation, break through the siege in this situation and show absolute strength, he is the real super star!
Many people can perform well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, due to the opponent's targeted defense, the opponent's stronger strength, and the repeated research of the opponent's core players by the coaching staff of both sides, the data and efficiency of most players will be discounted in the playoffs.

And as the playoffs progress, as your physical strength declines, injuries increase, and your opponents study you more thoroughly, the decline in your data will become more and more obvious and the magnitude will become larger and larger.

This kind of player is considered an ordinary star, also known as a playoff softie.

Those who can withstand the pressure and targeted defense of their opponents and perform as well in the playoffs as in the regular season are considered to have stepped into the threshold of first-class stars and can be called big-hearted players or top-notch role players.

And those guys who can go all out during the playoffs, perform far beyond their regular season performance, play better and better, kill more and more fiercely, and make their opponents more desperate the more crucial the game is, are undoubtedly the top stars and superstars!

At least in this round of series, so far, Lin Tian can definitely be called a unique super star.

Nash and Pierce are one level lower, while Anthony, Stoudemire and others are at least half a level weaker.

Now, at the life-and-death moment for both sides, it is a showdown between these core players and superstars!
During this period of the first quarter, Nash continued to score points and finally managed to withstand Lin Tian's firepower.

What about this time?

Pierce: This time, it's my turn to relax!

"Tewal, go kill him!" Seeing Pierce directly taking the ball from Nash and starting to advance towards the frontcourt, Lin Tian didn't think twice and directly let Ariza go against Pierce!

Anyway, he didn't dare to play against Pierce.

This bastard actually looked at my anus just now! He actually said that he had changed it!
Damn, he really slept in his trouser pocket! Absolutely!
I won’t play against him. I won’t play against him again. No matter what I say tonight, I won’t play against him again!
Who knows if this bastard will come up with something else?

God knows whether this bastard has done it cleanly or not?

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! This is the wisdom of the Chinese people since ancient times, and it is true!

Ariza was stunned for a moment, but he was not afraid and did not ask any questions.

Instead, he went straight to Pierce.

In Ariza's view, this is Lin Tian giving him a chance! This is the boss giving him a chance to show off, this is the boss letting him stand out!

As long as I can defend Pierce for two rounds and help the team gain an advantage and widen the score gap, won’t I become famous immediately?

"Shh!"

But unfortunately, Ariza is now far behind Pierce in terms of skills, experience and ability.

He had just rushed to Pierce's side when he was tricked by this guy with a shoulder shake. Pierce easily gained space and shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Suns took the lead again!
"It's okay! Keep trying, I believe in you!"

Lin Tian patted Ariza's butt and said, "Don't be afraid, little brother, let's continue."

Then he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt leisurely, observing the situation on the court while dribbling. Then Lin Tian suddenly accelerated, passed Barbosa who was now facing him in one step, and then chose to accelerate and break through from the left side.

Seeing Barbosa being thrown away, Pierce, who was on Lin Tian’s left, had no choice but to move sideways two steps, trying to block Lin Tian and block his breakthrough route.

But just as Pierce moved, Lin Tian's basketball suddenly came to his right hand again, and then slammed heavily on the floor!
The basketball bounced off the floor, passed between Pierce's legs with incredible ease, and flew straight behind him.

Pierce quickly turned around and wanted to defend Ariza again, but it was too late!
Ariza's confidence was overflowing. He was not affected by the previous ball at all. After receiving the ball, he jumped up directly and made a decisive 3-pointer!

"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, the Knicks once again took the lead.

On the Suns side, there was no suspense on the basketball side, and it once again fell into Pierce's hands.

This time he received the ball in the low post, blocked Ariza with his back, then suddenly exerted force and hit Ariza twice in a row!

How can a guy like Ariza, who entered the NBA right out of high school and whose body may not be fully developed yet, possibly stand up to a top veteran like Pierce who has played in the NBA for almost 10 years?
Pierce knocked Ariza around with just two moves, leaving him unable to stand. He then rushed to the basket and made an easy turn-around shot, scoring 2 points.

The Suns tied the game again with 48 seconds left!

75: 75!

But this time, Pierce still had no time to be happy. Not to mention Pierce, even old Nelson didn't have time to make a substitution by taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity.

Because Lin Tian is too fast!
Originally, old Nelson saw that Ariza was completely unable to withstand Pierce, and wanted to take advantage of the dead ball opportunity to take down Stoudemire, Anthony and others.

After this lineup, led by Lin Tian, ​​scored 7:0, it can be said to be a complete success. Old Nelson has proved that his lineup is feasible, and now he can definitely make changes.

After all, the reason why the strange formation is strange is that it catches the opponent by surprise and attacks when they are unprepared. The longer this unconventional formation lasts, the easier it is for others to seize opportunities and weaknesses and launch a fierce counterattack.

The best option is to quit while you are ahead!

This is why many fans think, "These five people are obviously effective and have won a lot of points on the court, why did this stupid coach replace them?"

Fans can only see whether this combination has won points or has the upper hand, but coaches can see whether the opponent has discovered the weaknesses of this lineup and whether the opponent will target them.

Logically speaking, a player of Lin Tian's level would definitely be able to see the mystery behind this.

But old Nelson really couldn't have imagined that Lin Tian didn't even give him the chance to make a substitution!

After Pierce scored, Lin Tian rushed to the end line immediately, picked up the basketball and made a one-arm shot put-like long pass. The basketball instantly turned into a flash of lightning and flew to the front court!
Nate Robinson didn't know when he completed the fast break, but after getting the ball, he started directly and slammed the ball into the basket again with one hand!

The Knicks completed this counterattack in just 3 seconds! They are leading again!

But obviously, in an occasion like tonight, with the two most counterattacking and offensive teams in the league fighting hard at the same time, the Suns will never let the Knicks be fast!

Nash, who had just chased Nate to the basket, also picked up the basketball at the baseline, and then threw the ball to the frontcourt in almost the same posture as Lin Tian!

Pierce once again pushed Ariza away with his shoulder and successfully took the advantageous position, then hugged the basketball.

He was so excited that he didn't care that there was no Suns player under the basket, and that many of his teammates hadn't even crossed half court. He just shot from mid-range and put the ball into the basket again!

This time, the Suns also only took 4 seconds!
77: 77!

"Too fast!" Barkley exclaimed, "Only 7 seconds have passed in the game, but both teams have scored 2 points each! Crazy! The main theme of tonight is madness!" "This is definitely the craziest, most extreme, and most reckless offensive battle in the history of the NBA Finals!"

The only bad news for the Knicks is that this time old Nelson still didn't find an opportunity to make a substitution.

He had just called up Stoudemire and Anthony when Lin Tian yelled at Hill to give him the ball.

Well, it’s a live ball again and I can’t make substitutions!

Nelson cursed in a low voice, then looked at Stoudemire and Anthony who were still sitting on the bench and said, "What the hell are you still daydreaming about! If you continue to daydream about this round... forget it! FUXX! You two, sit down! You don't have to play in this quarter, just sit down and sleep."

Old Nelson sat back in his chair angrily. He had been a coach for decades and had never had such a frustrating experience.

Is it because the players under his command are too good and there is no chance to make substitutions?
It's not embarrassing enough to tell it to others!
On the court, Lin Tian was holding the ball at the top of the arc again. This time, the Suns suddenly double-teamed him, and Nash and Barbosa rushed towards Lin Tian at the same time.

But Lin Tian once again turned into a dancer on the court. After a series of gorgeous, fast and wonderful dribbles, he suddenly turned around and pretended to rush past Nash.

Then, just as the two men wanted to continue to surround Lin Tian, ​​the basketball suddenly appeared between Barbosa and Nash. Then the two men looked at the basketball at the same time, wanting to reach out to steal the ball, but they were all just a little bit short and failed to touch the basketball, let alone completely block the basketball!
While their attention was completely attracted by the basketball, Lin Tian had already turned around, forced his way past the two of them, grabbed the basketball that neither of them had touched, and rushed towards the basket!

Marion and Martin rushed forward quickly, opened their arms, and tried to block Lin Tian's mid-range shot or his attack under the basket, but Lin Tian acted as if he didn't see them and continued to rush towards the iron wall of the two people.

Then, just before the three men were about to collide, Lin Tian turned around again, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed between the two men!

Lin Tian was as fast as lightning along the way. No matter the timing of his two turns or the effects he achieved, or his bold and imaginative man-ball separation, everyone was amazed!
What is even more amazing is that after Lin Tian dribbled past four players and got to the basket, he did not jump up and shoot immediately, but instead held the ball with both hands and swung it in the air.

Then, he hid nearby for an unknown period of time, waiting for Pierce, who was trying to block Lin Tian's shot, to pass through the sky. He was so shaken by Lin Tian that he lost his temper! After all, who the hell would have thought that after passing four opposing players, he would not choose to lay up quickly, but shake again!

Too embarrassing!

No, it's too sexy!
This exciting round didn't even end with Lin Tian's dunk.

After shaking off Pierce and completing a 1-to-5 effort, Lin Tian slammed the basketball onto the floor. Hill, who was coming from the wing, understood what he meant and jumped up.

Hill, who hadn't dunked many times throughout the season, did not waste Lin Tian's wonderful dribble and pass. He grabbed the basketball in the air and slammed it heavily towards the basket!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, the Knicks took the lead again!

Game time, 30 seconds left!
"Incredible!" Barkley shook his head and said, "I want to record this shot and put the whole process of this shot on my TV in a loop! I won't get tired of watching it 9000 times!"

“This goal is so cool!”

"Gary, you're a point guard and your basic skills are pretty good. Can you do this?" Miller looked directly at Payton next to him and asked him a 'friendly' question.

"Fuck you!" Payton cursed angrily, "If I could come here, I would have won the championship long ago! Would I still be defeated by them in 96?"

"I thought you would never admit that you lost a round of the finals in your life." Barkley said with a sly smile, "Isn't that right, Mr. Fingerless Gloves?"

"You're lucky you haven't been beaten by Lin." Payton rarely confronted Barkley, but leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed manner, "If you also play the No. 1 position and match up with him."

"How can you be better than me?"

"Reggie will become 'The Unkillable Assassin' or 'The Plastic Knife Killer'. Charles will definitely be 'The Flying Pork Chop' or 'The Fatty Fatty'. Kenny... a guy of your caliber is not qualified to have a new nickname after facing Lin. You don't deserve it."

Payton's indiscriminate attack silenced the three of them.

They wanted to refute, but after thinking about it for a while, they felt: This bastard is right!
Among the three of them, Kenny retired early, Barkley plays inside, and Miller has been on the same team with Lin Tian for many years. These three have never been beaten by Lin Tian.

Good luck!

After all, everyone has now acknowledged one thing: that is, the point guards of the same generation as Lin Tian are all damn unlucky bastards!
Lin Tian’s strength is indeed terrifyingly strong.

So... refute? How to refute? Say that I won't be beaten by Lin Tian or say that I am stronger?

It’s better not to do such self-humiliating things!

"What do you think, Steve? Do you still want to play the first quarter game? Let's see who can score faster!"

"Thank you for the invitation, but I'm not interested." Nash said lightly, then turned sideways to protect the basketball and waited for his teammates to run.

The first quarter really exhausted Nash. He risked his life just to get one more offensive opportunity.

But the result?

He failed to seize the extra offensive opportunities, and instead lost several more offensive opportunities to the Knicks, forcing him to enter the second quarter with a deficit.

So this time, Nash decided not to compete with you, Lin Tian!
I will just fight for the full 24 seconds. I don’t care whether you live or die. Each person will attack once!
If you have the ability, just create some time or freeze time, and then attack more!
Anyway, I won’t accompany you!

Nash carefully controlled the basketball until there were only 8 seconds left in the offensive time, then he suddenly turned around and passed the ball to Pierce who was rushing over.

Pierce is now facing Hill, who is more experienced and has a bigger size!
Ariza really can't withstand Pierce, the low-altitude tank.

Pierce made several fake moves in a row against Hill, but he couldn't deceive Hill's center of gravity at all!

To be honest, Hill has only lost his speed due to injury, and his lateral speed is close to the last level among forwards. If you use your speed to rush at him, he really has no way but to watch you rush past him.

But if you want to play with him on technique, rhythm and small details.

I'm sorry, Hill is just old, he is not dead!
His experience, skills, and familiarity with various offensive details are definitely not inferior to anyone in the league!

So if Pierce wants to use his skills to create space, he is asking for trouble!
Pierce finally understood this truth when he couldn't fool Hill with several fake moves in a row and there were only 3 seconds left for the offense!
Fortunately, there are still 3 seconds!
Pierce finally gave up those useless tricks, suddenly changed direction and took a step forward, then pushed Hill away completely with his shoulder, and when he was about to continue moving forward, he suddenly felt his hand loosen!
The basketball is gone!
Pierce turned around anxiously to look at who was behind him, and discovered that it was Lin Tian who attacked him from behind again. When he tried to steal the basketball from him, Hill had already bent down, grabbed the basketball, and threw it to Lin Tian!

After Lin Tian got the ball, he only dribbled forward one step, and then suddenly made a long swing, passing the basketball to Okur who had already completed a fast break and was standing outside the three-point line at the opposite corner.

Okur was holding the basketball, 3 meters away from the three-point line, but there was no time for him to get closer to the three-point line and adjust before shooting!

In addition, Marion was already rushing towards Okur madly, so Okur had no chance to hesitate at all. After getting the ball, he shot directly and threw the ball into the basket!
"Buzz!"

The whistle to end the first half of the game sounded first.

"Shh!"

Then there was a crisp sound, and Okur's buzzer-beating three-pointer also went in!

77: 82!

Knicks, leading by 5 points entering the second half!
