As soon as the fourth quarter began, Luke was back on the court (, no one wants to lose). Both sides fielded their starting lineups for the first quarter. However, Theo Ratliff of the 76ers went to rest due to foul trouble. Big Ben came up. Rashid and Sabonis also reconciled temporarily. There were no major contradictions.

Portland Trail Blazers serve. Damon Stoudemire, who has been playing for four quarters, is still winning and advancing very quickly. After half-time, he took his tactics seriously. First, Rasheed Wallace helped Damon Stoudemire block Snow, completed the substitution with Damon Stoudemire (the defender changed), and then ran back to cut into the inside, faced Snow, played strongly, and passed the ball to Pippen before Big Ben arrived, Pippen singled Tony Kukoc, scored easily, and extended the score advantage to 14 points.

The 76ers attacked, and the defender of Luke was no longer Rick Anderson, but Pippen.

"Good fight, boy," Pippen complimented, "but that's all for today, you're still too tender." ”

"Really?" Luke said, "Then I'll try." ”

Luke holds the ball and takes two steps first. Pippen was found unmoved. So when he was about to break through directly, he suddenly wanted to ask why he didn't play a little violent, so he turned his back and leaned on Pippen and began to play singles with his back. Pippen is not a rookie either, for people of the same era as Barkley, it is impossible to defend Barkley, but Pippen can limit Barkley, and other people's back play is not as sharp as Barkley, and for a power-type player like Luke, Pippen did not hesitate to start "setting up a stool" (that is, holding the attacker with both hands, and then putting a thigh under the opponent's body, resisting, like a triangle, the best way to hit the back, you can try it), and resisted Luke to death. If it was Barkley, then he would not hesitate to continue the arch, thinking that he had the biggest ass in the world (as the NBA says) and that he didn't have a "five-second back spanking" at that time. But Luke was different, he chose a different way. Although the "stool" is the best way to defend the back-to-back singles, it has a fatal flaw - the flexibility is not strong. Later in life, Pierce invented a beautiful and practical method in combination with back fighting. Hit with your back, when the defender is very in place, use your back to turn past the defender, and in the attack, try and try. Luke used a fake back turn and a real back turn to get past Pippen and get inside after a direct back hit. Defended by Rashid and Sabonis, Babyhook was used to recover two points for the team.

"How did you do it, why don't you run faster!" Rashid turned on Sabonis again.

"Me?" Sabonis was also unconvinced, "You ask me? Why don't you run faster yourself? Want me to ......"

The teammates hurriedly pulled the two of them back. The head coach also quickly called a timeout.

The 76ers returned to the bench, looked at the two who were about to fight over there, and then looked at the 12-point difference, and Luke had an idea in his mind. He approached Larry and said, "Coach, I have an idea. ”

"What?" Larry said, "What an idea. ”

"I feel like we can take advantage of the contradictions between Rashid Wallace and Sabonis and dismantle them from within. Without the inside containment, I think we can win. Luke said truthfully.

"Oh." Larry's eyes narrowed, "So what are you going to do?" ”

"We can get Big Ben and Tyrone Hill to spew trash talk to Rasheed Wallace and Sabonis respectively, to make the other one more unhappy, and then we're working hard to defeat them at once!" Luke said.

"Well, you have a good idea, so do it!" Larry thought for a moment, called Big Ben and Tyrone Hill over and said, "You guys wait this and this...... You know? ”

"Got it, Coach!" Big Ben and Tyrone Hill said.

Back on the field, Rashid and Sabonis were still on the field at the same time, but the conflict between the two was temporarily suppressed. Big Ben and Tyrone Hill started to defend Sabonis and Rashid, respectively.

Big Ben said to Sabonis: "Old man, you are almost forty, aren't you, and you still give hands to others?" “

"Huh?" Sabonis frowned, "Who told you I was doing it?" ”

"Isn't it?" Big Ben said, "Look at how many shots you have in a game, what about people?" At least twice as much as you......"

"Okay, don't sow discord." Although he knew that Big Ben was saying something to sow discord, Sabonis still believed eight points.

At the same time, Tyrone Hill said to Rashid, "You, you, it's not good anymore. ”

"Huh?" Rashid said, "What did you say? ”

"You see that you have to defend and attack now, how tired you are, and you have to help your teammates to make up for it, and they still have complaints about you. Isn't it? Tyrone Hill said.

"I'm very capable. I can do more! Rashid said.

"yes, you can do more now, but can you afford to do this every game? It's their fault that they can't prevent it, and they still do this to you, so why do you want to help them bear it? You see you played in the Portland Trail Blazers and you haven't been the boss yet, doesn't that tell? ”

Rashid was a straight-tempered man, and he believed a lot in such matters that were close to him. Then they unloaded some strength at the same time, but when they saw that the other party didn't make a move, their hearts were even bigger, "I understand what the hell he's doing!" Both of them were discouraged by each other's discouragement and had doubts that the other was not strong.

With the Portland Trail Blazers fighting each other inside, the 76ers began to fight back. While there were Pippen and Rick Anderson on the perimeter, they couldn't limit Luke, Tony Kukoc, and McGee (Larry replaced Snow and McGee during the timeout). So the score gap slowly narrowed.

Seeing that the victory in hand was about to be lost, the coach of the Trail Blazers couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

"What did you guys do!" He scolded as soon as he scolded, "It was all fine just now, but now it's like this!" ”

"You ask him!" Rashid said, pointing at Sabonis.

"Me?" Sabonis sneered, "I'm not as good as someone, some people are the core and have the ball, can we old men compare?" ”

"What did you say?" Rashid stood up, "What did I do, what did you do, others won't be able to see it?" I think it would be a mistake for the team to sign you! ”

"Hehe," Sabonis then sneered, "I think it's wrong to sign you." Playing ball also requires someone to wipe your ass! ”

"You! I have the ability to say it again. "Rashid wants to do it.

"Come on, I'm afraid of you. And so again? Sabonis continued.

The other players hurriedly pulled the two of them down. The coach pressed both men to the bench. The other players then played. However, Rashid ignored anyone and went straight back to the locker room.

The Trail Blazers, who lacked internal containment, did not persist any longer because of strength and psychological reasons, and finally the 76ers ended the game with a score of 102:106 and completed a three-game winning streak of the season.
