NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

140: 145!

There is only 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game!
On the bench, Lin Tian, ​​who had just completed a fatal steal, high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate. Old Nelson did not say anything. He was not in a hurry. He was waiting.

He waited for all his players to sit down and regain their sanity, and then looked at him before saying, "I will arrange a complicated sideline ball tactic for Lin to receive the ball."

"Then everyone, move as far apart as possible, whether it's under the basket or around Lin, make a path for me! This round, I want Lin to play alone! I want him to kill the Suns alone!"

"If they double-team ..."

"If they double-team me, I will smash their double-team to pieces!" Lin Tian panted and said viciously, "There won't be a seventh game! Everyone, move aside and watch my show!"

"This round, we widened the gap to the point where it would take three rounds to catch up, and then we can celebrate!"

"Just do as Lin said!" Old Nelson was very single-minded. He originally wanted Lin Tian to choose to pass the ball when being double-teamed, so that his teammates could play against more people.

But after seeing Lin Tian's eyes and feeling his determination, old Nelson knew: There is no need!
This guy can definitely do it! Let him do it alone!

Soon, the pause is over!
At this time, both sides did not replace their players on the field, but continued with their previous lineup!
Just as Lin Tian said, if this ball was scored, then with only about 1 minute left, the Knicks could really prepare to celebrate!
Hill stood on the sidelines, waiting for his teammates to run, while Lin Tian successfully fought his way out for himself in the Suns' half through a series of screens by his teammates and his own changing running routes, and caught the basketball at the top of the arc.

Then the other members of the Knicks team quickly dispersed!

Okur and Stoudemire are in the corners on both sides.

Hill and Anthony stood at a 45-degree angle on both sides, ready to respond at any time.

The space of the entire stadium was completely opened up!

At this time, the person defending Lin Tian was replaced by Nash!

"Steve, after this round, you can start crying! I will kill the game!" Lin Tian did not rush to attack, but let time pass.

For those who are ahead, time is their friend!

The Suns were in an awkward situation. They didn't dare to double-team because Lin Tian was such a good passer, and they also had no way of committing a foul in advance. With more than a minute left and trailing by 1 points, they were far from being able to send Lin Tian, ​​who had a free throw shooting percentage of over 5%, to the free throw line.

Time flies by.

Lin Tian waited until there were only 5 seconds left for the attack before finally starting!

He changed from protecting the basketball with his back to facing the basket, then suddenly changed to facing the basket, and then passed the ball from his crotch to his right hand with his left hand, and then he jumped forward again. This was Lin Tian's most signature attack step plus a change of direction!
Nash was facing a formidable enemy. He lowered his center of gravity and stared at every pore and detail of Lin Tian's body. He knew that he had to defend this round. He knew that if Lin Tian scored this goal, they would be finished!

He has tried his best!
But if hard work is useful, then why do we need plug-ins?

After Lin Tian took his first attack step and made a small jump forward, Lin Tian suddenly pulled the basketball in his right hand toward the far end, as if he was going to accelerate past the opponent directly from here.

Nash's lower body was still able to control the center of gravity and remain motionless, but his eyes could not avoid this attack and he looked uncontrollably at Lin Tian's right hand.

enough!

In other words, Lin Tian doesn't care whether Nash is fooled by him or not. When he passes Nash, why does he need to see how Nash defends?
I'll fuck you and you're done!
The basketball bounced on the floor again and landed in Lin Tian's left hand. At the same time, Lin Tian exerted force with his feet and rushed forward suddenly!
This time, let alone Nash, even if Bolt came, it would be extremely difficult to catch up with Lin Tian!
Nash only felt a gust of wind in his ears, but he was completely unable to react and was completely nailed to the ground, as if Lin Tian had not just made a change of direction to pass him, but instead performed a time-pause technique!
After breaking into the inside, Lin Tian certainly had no time to observe whether Nash was immobilized by him. He put all his strength into this breakthrough, and both his speed and concentration were increased to the extreme!

Then, Lin Tian stepped heavily on the free throw line with his left foot, one step forward, then he gathered the ball with both hands, jumped with all his strength, and rushed towards the basket!

This time, Lin Tian only had the basket in his eyes! He didn't care if there were people in front of him or how many people there were.

He only knows that if anyone appears in front of him and wants to defend himself at this time, then you are out of luck!

"puff!"

Lin Tian felt his lower body collide heavily with a guy. He could sense that the unlucky guy didn't even jump up, but just stretched out his hands and stood there motionless as if surrendering.

Lin Tian couldn’t be sure whether the guy didn’t have time to run or didn’t think about running, he only knew that he was going to score!
Lin Tian poured all his strength into his right arm, completely ignoring the resistance from his lower body, and let out a loud roar.

"Roar!"

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian pushed the ball into the basket with one arm!
The unlucky guy who was originally standing on the ground with his hands raised high, trying to block Lin Tian, ​​completely lost control of his body. Unable to withstand the incredibly powerful impact, he lost his balance and fell backwards in embarrassment.

It was only at this moment that Lin Tiancai recognized who this was.

Isn’t this the top scholar?
Kenyon Martin!

However, at this moment, Martin no longer had the fierce and domineering demeanor of a "beast". His eyes were full of fear and disbelief.

He was really frightened by Lin Tian's move!

so horrible!

Martin is no longer a 'beast', he has become a 'poultry'.

"If you don't want to retire at a young age, then I advise you to stay away from me when I'm dunking."

"Don't humiliate yourself!"

In the last 58 seconds, the Knicks' lead expanded to 7 points!

D'Antoni stood up helplessly, crossed his arms, and called another timeout.

At this moment, even someone as stubborn as D'Antoni knew that his chances were running out.

"Even if the Suns can hit three-pointers in a row and defend all the Knicks' attacks, they still need three rounds to catch up! If the Knicks control the ball for the full 3 seconds each time and the Suns can hit a three-pointer in about 24 seconds each time, they won't have enough time!"

Kenny took advantage of the timeout to analyze the current situation of the two teams again: "The Suns are in a terrible state! They can only pray for a miracle now!"

"But unfortunately," Barkley said, "the person who is best at creating miracles in this league is right across from them!"

"In other words, the person in this alliance who is best at extinguishing miracles and making opponents despair is also across from them!"

Miller said: "I know this feeling very well. I have seen Lin create countless miracles and accomplish countless miracles that ordinary people dare not even think about! His NBA career has always been synonymous with miracles!"

"There's really not much the Suns can do now." Payton said, "But on the next attack, when the timeout is over, they must hit a 3-pointer first! And it must be fast! It must be very fast! Then if I were D'Antoni, I would foul, foul immediately!"

"Because of Lin, if you let the Knicks control the ball and waste time, he will definitely control it for the full 24 seconds, leaving you no extra time! So instead of watching Lin waste time and then score a goal, it is better to send him to the free throw line directly, at least it can save time!"

Miller continued: "But all this is based on the premise that they can hit this 3-pointer! If they can't hit it, then everything will be in vain!"

"I think they need me now!"

"They still need me to help them grab rebounds!" Barkley snorted, indicating that he is also important.

"They need me to help them defend Lin." Payton never gives in at such moments.

Then it was Kenny's turn to be speechless.

The other three stared at Kenny, waiting for him to say something, but what could Kenny say?
Compared with these MVPs, All-Stars, best defensive players, and the league's historical 3-point king, what can a role player like him do to help the Suns?

Waving towels and cheering?
I guess it's OK.

But I can't do anything else.

While a few people were chatting and analyzing, this crucial pause, which would most likely affect the final outcome of this year's NBA, finally ended.

D'Antoni finally made a substitution. He replaced Martin, a pure inside player who was not good at three-point shooting, with Jones, the team's three-point shooting percentage second only to Nash. The Suns also started to fight hard!

"No center! The Suns have a lineup without a center! If the Knicks use Okur and Stoudemire at this time, they will be at a disadvantage in mobility. The Suns may be able to create a miracle with this substitution!" Kenny quickly analyzed.

"D'Antoni also put in a lot of effort! He gave up the rebound, he was gambling! He was gambling that the Knicks would go inside, and then his shooters would get a chance! Let's take a look at the Knicks' lineup and see if D'Antoni can..."

"Well, no! Old Nelson predicted D'Antoni's prediction! He also sent out a super defensive and highly mobile lineup! I can only say that the old ones are still the best!"

As Kenny said, the Knicks' lineup is just enough to restrain these five players of the Suns! Nelson took out the three sieves of Okur, Stoudemire and Anthony and replaced them with Barnes, Wallace and Smith.

He brought his five best defensive, most athletic and best running players onto the court!
Of course, old Nelson would not continue to be stubborn and willful at this time and insist on competing with the Suns in offense.

The old man is just strong-willed and likes to act cool, but he is not really stupid. When it is time to defend, the old man pays more attention to defense than anyone else!

Pierce stood outside the sideline preparing to serve the ball, while the other four players were running frantically and looking for opportunities, while the Knicks continued to look for one by one, watching their own players to death.

"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle and the basketball was given to Pierce. He held the basketball and kept looking around, searching and waiting for an opportunity!

Lin Tian once again held Nash tightly. This time, Lin Tian would not give Nash any chance to catch the ball!
Along the way, Nash kept changing positions, constantly looking for cover from his teammates, but under Lin Tian's tight defense, Nash couldn't find any opportunities or open space at all, and he couldn't get the basketball at all!
Pierce was very anxious because D'Antoni's tactic was to give the ball to Nash first.

But seeing that the 5 seconds were about to expire, Pierce had no choice but to quickly pass the ball to Jones who had just entered the court.

Jones was about to shoot after getting the ball, but Wallace had already pressed on him, leaving him with no space to shoot. With Jones' basic skills, he certainly didn't dare to force dribbling at this time.

"ball!"

Fortunately, at this time Pierce had already rushed back into bounds and stretched out his hand to ask Jones for the ball.

Jones was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly handed the ball away, and at the same time he did not forget to run quickly, taking Wallace away from Pierce to make room for him to play one-on-one.

Facing Smith, who was tall, had long arms and amazing athleticism, Pierce made several fake moves in a row but couldn't find any chance to shoot. He was also closely watched by Smith!
Of course, this is not because Smith's defensive ability is so strong that Pierce can't even shoot, it's because the Knicks don't defend 2 points!
Smith just stood outside the 3-point line and stuck to Pierce, not giving him a chance to shoot. What if Pierce wanted to break through?
No problem! Just pass and we'll give you 2 points!

But want to pull one out from beyond the 3-point line? Don't even think about it!

As time passed quickly, Pierce became more and more anxious. He even thought that he might as well just take a step back jump shot and try his luck!
At this moment, an orange shadow ran towards Pierce: "Ball! Paul, ball!"

Nash!

After his tireless and crazy running and countless covers, he finally left Lin Tian behind.

When he saw the savior coming, Pierce didn't hesitate. He just turned sideways and passed the ball. His idea was quite simple.

After a hand-to-hand pass, he then moved sideways to block Lin Tian who was chasing Nash from behind, giving Nash a chance to jump and shoot!

An absolute vacant opportunity!

The only difficulty is whether I can stop Lin Tian!
Pierce clenched his teeth. He was ready for a fierce head-on confrontation with Lin Tian!

But then, Pierce's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

This is the only thought that can come to Pierce's mind at this moment!
Because just now the formation was Lin Tian at the back and Nash in the front.

But just when Pierce exposed the basketball and prepared to pass it to him, Lin Tian suddenly caught up with Nash! Lin Tian even pushed Nash to the periphery!
Then when Pierce blinked again, Lin Tian had already arrived in front of him. As for Nash?

He was completely squeezed behind by Lin Tian and completely lost his advantageous position!

"How come this bastard is so fast!" Pierce couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, which delayed him a little bit.

Then, Pierce finally reacted. He wanted to take the ball back. He wanted to put the exposed basketball back in his arms, but it was obviously too late!
"Snapped!"

Lin Tian's long arm slapped the basketball in Pierce's hand, and the basketball immediately rolled towards the sideline.

Then Pierce saw a black shadow suddenly rush out and pounce towards the basketball.

It's Nash!

Then the second black shadow also pounced out, it was Lin Tian!
Then, Pierce also reacted. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore. This was the closest he had ever been to the championship in his life!
He would not let his mistake ruin this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He rushed out too.

In the blink of an eye, the three people rolled into a ball on the floor. Three people, six arms, two black, two white and two yellow, stretched out at the same time, and all three hoped to touch the basketball first.

“Josh!”

In the end, it was Lin Tian who had better physical fitness and more exaggerated arm span, so he was the first to touch the basketball.

But at the same time, Lin Tian also knew that even he could not control the basketball and call a timeout in this situation. He could clearly feel that the two guys beside him were no different from vicious dogs at this time!

He wouldn't give them the chance to bite him.

Lin Tian stretched out his hand and pushed the ball forward again.

Smith, who had just been defending Pierce, also rushed over at this time. He hugged Lin Tian and poked some basketballs away, then rushed towards the Suns' half!
No one can stop it!

No one can catch up with Smith!

Marion, Jones...

All of the Suns players were either too far away or lying on the ground unable to get up.

Everyone could only watch Smith rush forward.

Smith rushed to the Suns' half of the court, holding the Knicks' second championship in two years.

Then he jumped high, held the basketball in one hand, drew a huge circle in the air, and then slammed the ball into the basket!

This time, he not only added two more points for the team, but also completely shattered the Suns' championship dream!
140: 149!

In the last 35 seconds, the Knicks extended their lead to 9 points!
After completing this dunk, Smith knew that they had almost completely secured the victory. He no longer suppressed himself, but stood in place, clenched his fists, and let out bursts of roars and howls towards the sky!

"Josh! Josh! Josh! Josh!"

The fans at the scene were shouting Smith's name crazily and cheering for him. They were equally excited.

Although there were still 35 seconds left in the game, they knew that even God could not save them!

we won!

We finally defended our title!
For the first time in team history, the title was successfully defended!

So refreshing!
Is this what it feels like to defend the title?
The Madison fans at the scene were roaring, shouting, celebrating crazily, hugging and kissing the people around them, and countless fans even started to cry again!
Although there were still 35 seconds left in the game, and although theoretically the Suns still had a chance to turn the game around, the fans could no longer hold back.

Their excitement and heroic spirit could no longer be contained!
D'Antoni's face was pale. Amid the cheers from all around, he called out his last timeout.

He also knew that the chances were slim, but at this point, he certainly couldn't just give up so easily. (End of this chapter)
