"You Indians are so dirty when you curse." Oakley plucked his ears and said as if his ears had been raped by three hundred strong men: "They weren't so bad before!" ”

At this point, the game was about to start, and ten players from both sides walked onto the pitch and waited for the game to start.

The Pacers' starting five remains unchanged, still Schmitz, Barkley, Christie, Miller and Lintian, and the Knicks are finally waiting for their leader to return!

Patrick Ewing is playing in the playoffs for the first time this season, plus his old partner Charles Oakley, Larry Johnson who has returned from suspension, Alan Houston, and Charlie Ward, a strong and stable point guard!

"We haven't thanked you yet." Ewing was wearing a protective gear on his wrist, and at the same time constantly moving his hands, looking at Lin Tiandao: "Without you deliberately releasing water, we wouldn't have been able to kill the Miami people in the first round." ”

"Don't you hate me?" Lin Tian curiously asked the question that had been bothering him: "It's all fights, why do you hate Miami so much, but you don't seem to hate me?" ”

"Because we're not stupid." Oakley said: "It's our fault to fight with you, everyone fights fairly, winning is winning, losing is losing, man, who doesn't have a few guys who often fight together?" ”

"But the Miami gang is full of garbage and soft eggs, they take the initiative to stir up trouble and then choose to shrink their eggs, their behavior is too chicken thieves and too undesirable, and of course there is a little grudge between us and Pat in it."

"You can't beat Lin together?" Barkley touched Oakley with his elbow and said, "You don't hate Lin, does it have anything to do with this?" ”

"Yes." Oakley rolled his eyes, but his answer was extremely honest.

Yes, if you can't beat it, what's the use of hating?

Will you be beaten again?

"You two! What are you doing! Tonight's referee, Bavita, spotted Barkley's restless elbow, looked over and said, "I warn you, be careful!" If anyone dares to ...... in the game I enforce"

"Alright, Bavita, stop talking nonsense, let's kick off." Ewing said impatiently, "We all know what you're going to say, and you should know that no one in the Coalition today is going to trouble Lin, unless that person is a stupid idiot or a masochist. ”

"Or do you think that in today's league, someone can beat Lin to win?"

Bavita snorted, then swept through everyone in the room in a demonstration, and finally blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air!

Ewing is far more physically fit than Schmitz, and he has always jumped higher than Schmitz, but this time he wanted to use his left hand to play basketball to hide his right hand, which broke a bone at the beginning of the season and injured again at the end of the season!

Suddenly changing hands, Ewing felt obvious awkwardness and discomfort, which made him misjudge the landing point of the basketball, and Schmitz won the jump ball!

The Indiana got the ball for the first offense.

"Rick! Wait a minute, get ready to get the ball, attack from Patrick's right side, break through or shoot, go to his right! Lin Tian saw Ewing's caution and immediately instructed Schmitz to pay attention to Ewing's wrist.

It's called kicking the lame man's bad leg!

Take a knife and slash at Yang Guo's severed hand!

"Lin, I can hear you!" Ewing looked at Lin Tiandao with a bitter face: "But do you think a Frenchman can kill me?" I put this hand behind my back, and he's no match for me! ”

"Don't talk nonsense about Patrick, Rick is an Italian who stomps horses!" Lin Tian didn't rush to attack this time, this is the NBA, here, the most important thing is not to play basketball that you like to make yourself comfortable, here, the most important thing is to make the opponent uncomfortable and storm the opponent's weak area!

And Lin Tian is now convinced that Ewing's right hand is the most vulnerable place for the Knicks now!

No matter how Ewing's injury recovers, whether he has healed or not, it is impossible for Lin Tian to let him find his form and regain his confidence!

Lin Tian wants to keep attacking his defense line from the beginning of the game, making him doubt himself, making him feel that his injury is not good at all, and making him afraid!

This is the NBA! The world's top basketball league has never had the virtue of humility, and there is no embarrassment to beat a tactic and any fair play.

It's to take advantage of your illness and kill you!

"Actually, I'm Dutch!" Schmitz quickly ran towards the inside line and explained to Lin Tian: "I was born in Eindhoven. ”

"Sorry Rick, but you really look like an Italian! Oh shit, Charry, you're so rude, didn't you notice me talking to Rick? Lin Tian was talking nonsense, while dodging Ward's sudden sneak attack, and did not let him succeed in stealing the ball.

Then Lin Tian suddenly dribbled behind his back, and this time the dribble seemed to be a mistake, because the basketball landed very far away from Lin Tian!

Ward's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out again to steal, but this was what Lin Tian was waiting for, he once again came to a back dribble, this time with a larger amplitude and faster speed, and at the same time the landing point was very forward!

At this moment, Ward completely lost his defensive position and was left behind by Lin Tian!

Then Lin Tian immediately accelerated and rushed towards the inner line!

He walked on the left side!

It's Ewing's right hand that rushes!

"Come on, Patrick, let me see if there's anything wrong with your hand!"

After a roar, Lin Tian grabbed the basketball with one hand and jumped high, and the whole person was pulled into an inverted bow in reverse.

He jumped very early and glided very long!

This gliding distance makes Lin Tian's body completely stretch out, full of extreme beauty!

But jumping like this, it's obviously very easy to be capped!

The longer the glide distance, the easier it is for defenders to anticipate and evaluate and better time to block in an instant!

"Die Lin!" Experienced as Ewing, how could he miss this kind of opportunity, jumped up towards Lin Tian, and then raised his hands at the same time, wanting to block Lin Tian's dunk.

But after he jumped up, looking at Lin Tian's thunderous and indomitable appearance, Ewing was still afraid!

His right hand visibly shrank backwards, and the flaws in his otherwise perfect defense immediately appeared!

Lin Tian is waiting for this time! At the moment when Ewing's defensive action was deformed, Lin Tian's waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and the whole person launched an ultimate impact in the direction of the basket like a spring!

At the same time, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand was also fiercely smashed towards the back of Ewing's head.

"Boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tian's whole person almost rode on Ewing's neck, and completed a powerful and shocking one-handed smashing buckle!

"How's that for Rick! I said his right hand is not working! After Lin Tian scored, he immediately turned around and found Schmitz and said to him: "You will come like this later!" ”

What kind of calf is it?

Schmitz looked at Lin Tian with a constipated expression.

Ewing only has a broken wrist, not an amputation, can I dunk him?

Schmitz's expression at this moment, without systematically learning what unreaction and psychology, is a person who can see what he is thinking now.

I won't! I didn't! I don't want to!

Properly negate the triple!

Seeing Schmitz's lack of confidence at all, Lin Tian felt that he had to help him find some self-confidence!

After all, he can paddle in the regular season and only score 9 points and 6 rebounds per game, but not in the playoffs!

In particular, when the opponent has weaknesses and does not attack, it will be even more difficult for the Pacers to win the championship.

Lin Tian is very sure that the weakness of this Knicks team is Ewing!

Or rather, Ewing is not good at all due to injuries! The best way to defeat the Knicks is to beat Ewing first, as long as Ewing is instigated and loses his courage and will to fight, the rest of the Knicks team will inevitably be scattered.

Not to mention that in Lin Tian's memory, these two teams also met in the second round in history.

As for the results?

4：1！

The Pacers win! And Schmitz, although he can't talk about explosion and blood abuse Ewing in that series, is definitely the one who performs better!

Without me Lin Daguan to feed the ball, you can be better than Ewing in this series, now with me, if you don't completely blow up Ewing, I Lin Daguan will not have to mix up in the future!

I can't afford to lose this man!

The Knicks' offense, in the first round, they didn't even think about it, so they gave the ball to the returning Ewing, first, the first ball to hit the boss to find a feeling, and second, Schmitz was originally recognized as the weakest and easiest point to break in the Pacers' starters!

Facing Schmitz, Ewing raised his hand to shake Schmitz's center of gravity with a feint of shooting, and then, he quickly bent down and cut in, striding to the basket to make a layup.

In the face of an empty basket, he chose to go to the basket instead of dunk, which once again shows that Ewing is very unoptimistic and unconfident about his right wrist, and he is obviously using various methods to avoid and reduce the use of his right hand.

"How's Lin? You say he can up? If this Spanish hemp stalk can beat me, my Ewing name is written upside down! ”

Although he didn't choose to dunk, Ewing's trash talk didn't stop at all.

"I said, Rick is a special Portuguese! Not Spain! Lin Tian continued to refute Ewing.

"Netherlands, Eindhoven!" Once again, Schmitz pointed out that there was something wrong with the two men, but his voice was so small and soft that no one could even hear him but himself.

In this round, Lin Tian rushed into the inside line again, and then after attracting the help defense, he distributed the ball to Schmitz on the bottom line, Schmitz just wanted to shoot directly when he took the ball, Ewing rushed over violently, waving his arms, with a vicious expression that if you dare to shoot, I will kill you.

Well, Ewing may not have deliberately made a fierce face, it was just that he was ugly and made him look scary.

But Schmitz was just frightened, he shuddered, and although he still shot quickly, his shot was off the rim.

Luckily, there was Barkley under the basket, and the guy elbowed Oakley, then jumped up to grab the rebound, and then added the ball with both hands.

"Rick, you're tough!" Lin Tian stretched out his hand and patted Schmitz's ass and shouted, "This round of the series, we have to rely on you!" ”

"I'll work hard Lin." Schmitz nodded, but between the words was a man who had no confidence and no one felt that he could do it.

In the next few minutes of the first quarter of the game, Schmitz's performance was really unsatisfactory, in the face of Ewing, he was reluctant to rush to the basket to play, and several passes to him from Lin Tian, he chose to end with a mid-range shot.

It's just that he didn't feel very good tonight, and he only hit one goal in 4 shots!

And because Lin Tian was bent on letting Schmitz play with feeling and confidence, and kept feeding Schmitz, this led to some problems with the offensive rhythm of the Pacers, and it was not as smooth as before, so they also fell into disadvantage during this time!

The reason why he fell into disadvantage, in addition to Schmitz's discouragement, is also because Ewing was a big kill in the first game of his comeback! He scored under the basket three times in a row, and also made a lot of cover for Houston and others, looking for space for his teammates to shoot.

On the defensive end, in addition to being dunked by Lin Tian at the beginning, he also fully supported the Knicks' basket and was not scored by the Pacers.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, when the two sides entered the first timeout, the Pacers temporarily trailed the Knicks by five points at 13:18.

As soon as Schmitz sat on the bench, Lin Tian came to his side and sat down, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Rick, you can't do this!" Our goal is to win the championship! How can you storm the city for us? ”

"Lin, don't we have you, Charles, and Reggie? And Doug and Joe, I'm not really that important, am I? Actually, I think if I really can't stand Ewing, we can let Ben try! His defense has been getting better and better lately! ”

"Rick! You sober up! We need you to wake up! Lin Tian rubbed Schmitz's head heavily and yelled: "Think about why you play here, are you really willing to be just a shooter?" What about your talent? When you were young in the Netherlands, weren't you treated as Chamberlain by your friends? ”

"I said, I'm a Dutch...... You know? ”

“FUXX！ I'm not an idiot, of course I know you're from Eindhoven, I also know that you went to high school in Almonte, your university is Mallister College, and you have a chick in the psychology department of your school who likes to wear black ribbons and gold-rimmed glasses, and she went to Pennsylvania as an exchange student...... FUXX, WHY AM I TELLING YOU THIS? ”

Lin Tian scolded, then looked at Smith and said, "What I want to say is that I know you, so I trust you!" I'm sure you can beat Ewing! Especially now Ewing is just a paper tiger, and his injury has not recovered at all! Didn't you notice that he didn't dare to dunk? Didn't you notice that he didn't dare to throw his signature mid-range? ”

"His injury has not fully recovered at all, he may not be able to become the invincible four centers and the patron saint of New York in his life, he is not your opponent!"

"But, Lin, I'm just ......"

"I don't care what you were before, but after this round of the series, you'll have a brand new nickname: Ewing Terminator! You will put an end to the era of the big four, and you will completely blow him up! Lin Tian clapped his hands vigorously and continued to encourage Schmitz: "You can do it." ”

"No, I think, I can't, otherwise I'd better cover for you."

Looking at Schmitz's appearance, Lin Tian couldn't help but curse again, and then he thought of something, patted Schmitz on the shoulder and said: "You don't dare to fight against him on the offensive end, then on the defensive end, you always have the courage to face him!" ”

"I'll do my best!"

"It's not that you have to do everything, it's that you can definitely do it!" Seeing that the timeout was about to end, Lin Tian suddenly thought of something, he looked at Schmitz again and said: "In this way, when you defend this guy next, stay away from him, give him space to shoot, and it will be no problem for him to be directly pulled out!" ”

"But don't jump! In any case, no matter what the feints, don't jump! Just let him shoot, give him space to attack, block all his routes to the basket, let him shoot, I made it clear enough. ”

"It's clear, but Ewing's mid-range shooting ......" Schmitz hesitated, after all, Ewing's mid-range jumper was Ewing's trick!

In Ewing's 10-plus year career, everyone has defended him by increasing physical contact, consuming him, torturing him, preventing him from shooting from mid-range, or making it harder for him to shoot.

But Lin Tian is here, but he directly does the opposite?

"If he goes in the middle distance, count it in mine! I'll take it all for you! Just say I taught it! Let's go, let's play! ”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at Bird very tacitly, and after nodding to each other, Lin Tian and Schmitz walked onto the court together.

Bird of course knows why Lin Tian is feeding Schmitz, and he also knows why Lin Tian suddenly wants to help Schmitz find confidence in this series.

One-handed Ewing is definitely the best object for Schmitz to find self-confidence, Lin Tian can see that Ewing is not in the state, it is a paper tiger, and Bird can certainly see that this is definitely the best opportunity for Schmitz to find self-confidence!

And more importantly, if Schmitz can find the confidence to regain his previous form in this series, then the next round can be of great use!

The opponent of the Pacers in the next round is most likely the Bulls, and the whole world knows that the weakness of the Bulls is the inside! If you can blow up the inside line of the Bulls, then the pressure on Lin Tian, Miller and Christie will be greatly reduced, and the winning rate of the next round of games will definitely be higher!

Lin Tian, this is basically preparing for a rainy day and preparing for the next round of the series!

Therefore, Bird, who could see what Lin Tian wanted to do, didn't care at all about Lin Tian talking to himself and Schmitz when he paused, and didn't listen to him at all, he believed Lin Tian!

"Reggie, what did Larry just arrange?" After walking to the court, Lin Tian looked at Miller and asked curiously.

"He told us to listen to you." Miller pouted: "It's the first time I've seen a manager who doesn't care at all about his players not listening to him, and letting others listen to him. ”

"Because I deserve it all!" Lin Tian looked at Miller confidently and said, "How about we play a No. 3 tactic first?" ”

As the baseline ball was released, Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the front court, stretched out his hand to direct the players' running, and he was observing the running position of his teammates at the top of the arc.

Miller first started running from the left wing, then ran near the free throw line and used a cover from Schmitz, circled around him and then suddenly reflexively ran in the direction of the baseline again, and Christie made a cross cover for him on the way, and then Christie ran to the other side to help him get the attention of the Knicks.

And just when Miller finally shook off the defender and ran towards the bottom corner, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand had already flown in his direction.

At the same time that Miller reached the bottom corner, Lin Tian's pass also arrived almost at the same time, and Houston was still at least 3 meters away from Miller at this time because of Christie's cover, with Miller's shooting speed and adjustment ability, the only thing Houston could do with this ball was to pray, and he couldn't interfere at all.

"Huh!"

For a shooter of Miller's level, with such a large vacancy, the probability of scoring this goal is definitely not greater!

Pacers, come up and chase back 3 points!

The 'No. 3' tactic of this round is actually a double-screen tactic specially designed for Miller, with one screen on the ball line and one on the baseline to create opportunities for him to catch and shoot.

And if the opponent's defense keeps up with Miller and prevents him from receiving the ball from beyond the 3-point line, he will cut to the basket and Christie will give him a third screen, giving Miller a chance to catch the ball and cut directly!

After running down this set of tactics, Miller can get a total of 3 opportunities to catch the ball and attack, and he will also cover his teammates a total of three times, and his running route is actually a '3' in Arabic numerals!

That's why this tactic is called Tactic No. 3.

Even if Miller doesn't get a chance after this whole set of tactics, and the opponents all follow, then Christie and Schmitz will most likely get empty seats.

Even if everyone doesn't get the open and misplaced opportunities, the Pacers still have Lin Tian, who can go to the attack himself or give the ball to Barkley when the opponent is struggling to squeeze into a crowd.

If the opponent can keep up with everyone after this set of tactics and the defensive rotation is still flawless, without giving the Pacers any chance to misplace......

Impossible, in this era, there is not such a perfect and perfect defensive system!

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, basketball was once again in the hands of Ewing, who was in excellent form today.

"Are you Italian chicks so proactive? Being beaten like this and daring to come to the counterpoint, don't you enjoy this feeling of being abused, chick? Ewing saw Schmitz and immediately began to spew trash talk.

"Lao Tzu is Dutch! Dutch Eindhoven people! Schmitz slapped his hands heavily, and at the same time let out a loud roar to lift his breath, and then according to Lin Tian's arrangement, he stood at a distance of about 1 meter in front of Ewing.

This distance allows him to interfere with Ewing's shooting in time, and allows him to keep up with Ewing's stride breakthrough in time without being shaken.

"Don't you come to make out with your uncle, chick?" Ewing sneered again, and then made two shooting feints in a row, but Schmitz was unmoved this time, did not jump at all, and pressed the center of gravity very well!

After a series of feints, Ewing cursed, and then had no choice but to pull up quickly and throw a mid-range jumper that he was best at!

As for Schmitz's desperate defense, Ewing said: How can there be defense? I can't see!

"Boom!"

It's one thing to not be able to see it, and it's another thing to be able to throw it in!

Ewing's shooting action was clearly disjointed, and his right hand injury was clearly still bothering him! Barkley jumped up and grabbed the rebound, then quickly turned to find Lin Tian and threw the ball directly outside the 3-point line!

"Run!" Lin Tian roared, and then rushed towards the front court first, facing the double bag of Ward and Houston, Lin Tian was not afraid at all, but continued to compress the Knicks' defense, and then after hitting the basket, he suddenly passed the ball behind without looking at people, and the basketball immediately came to Christie, who followed up on the side!

Christie jumped up the moment she got the basketball, quickly attracting Houston's attention, but although the basketball in Christie's hand flew out immediately, it was obviously not running for the basket!

Houston yelled badly, but he didn't have time to change his defensive position, and he didn't even have time to turn around when he heard a loud bang behind him.

“FUXX！ Reggie, you can dunk? Lin Tian's exaggerated voice came: "Tell me the truth, is this the first time you have dunked in your life?" ”

"Lao Tzu was also a general when he was young!" Miller let go of the basket and landed on the ground, just after he received Christie's pass, completed the aerial relay, and scored a dunk.

"Buckle the general or make it clear to you, I heard Charles say that you are fast but always make girls very happy, it won't be this!" Lin Tian persevered and continued to chase Miller to ask questions.

"Shut up! Charry is starting to push forward! Miller scolded, intending to distract Lin Tian with Ward catching the ball and starting to advance.

"I don't care if he advances or not, you tell me what the facts are first!" Lin Tian just glanced at Ward from the corner of his eye, then made a hidden gesture with his left hand, and then didn't even twist his body in Ward's direction.

Just when Ward was a little proud, thinking that Lin Tian, an idiot, had completely forgotten himself in order to be funny with his teammates, Christie suddenly appeared in front of Ward and blocked his way!

Before Ward could react to Christie, the basketball in his hand was stabbed from behind.

Lin Tian!

"Doug!" After Lin Tian broke the ball, he rushed towards the front court and greeted Christie, how could Christie hesitate, after taking a look at the situation on the court, the basketball in his hand immediately flew out towards Lin Tian.

"Boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tian's arms gliding split buckle succeeded again!

7：0！

The Pacers' timeout was a great success, and they came back with a wave of climaxes in less than 1 minute, and overtook the score in one fell swoop!

This time, it was Van Gundy's turn to call a timeout!

"Tonight is Ewing's first day back, so that bald guy will definitely replace Ewing, change their bench lineup, and then move their offensive focus out and let Houston and Johnson focus for a while!"

"Rick, the round you played against Ewing was great! You're going to be our secret weapon against Ewing tonight, so you come down and rest and wait until Ewing comes on in the second quarter before you can continue to play with him! Lin, Reggie, they want to play the outside line, let's accompany them! ”

"Let them know what the most firepower trio in the alliance is!"

Bird's setup was quick and precise, and when the timeout ended, the Knicks did replace Ewing with a 38-year-old veteran, former All-Star interior lineman Buck Williams.

As soon as he saw Williams coming up, Lin Tian almost didn't laugh directly.

This little Van Gundy, I'm afraid it's not crazy, right? Let a 38-year-old man come up, is this because he is afraid that he will not be happy enough?

Lin Tian was thinking about how to educate Buck Williams for a while, but Johnson had already hit a super difficult 3-pointer against Christie's defense!

The Knicks' hand tonight is indeed good!

Lin Tian didn't think much about it when he came to the front court, and directly called Da Ben, who had just come on the court, to cover himself, and then Lin Tian directly faced Buck Williams!

Facing the 38-year-old man, Lin Tiancai would not be polite to him, his feet accelerated sharply, Williams didn't have time to catch up, and he didn't have time to react and turn around, and Lin Tian directly passed him clean!

After passing Williams, facing the inside line without Ewing, Lin Tian naturally moved forward and easily scored 2 points again!

After scoring 2 points, the Knicks' outside line was powerful again, Houston bypassed multiple screens and received the ball directly against Miller in the middle distance!

The Knicks' state tonight is really good!

The whole team has a good performance!

But again, the Knicks' scoring is very difficult, but Lin Tian's scoring is very easy!

He called for another cover, and then took one step past Williams for a layup!

"Old comrade, why don't you find a nursing home, the basketball court is no longer suitable for you." After scoring twice in a row, Lin Tian looked at Williams and shrugged his shoulders casually.

This person's speed is really too slow, Lin Tiandu finished the layup and ran to the 3-point line, this guy has just completed the turn.

A veteran is a veteran! In the face of such humiliation, he actually didn't squint and didn't open his mouth, completely as if he hadn't heard Lin Tian's provocation.

"Hey! You! Yes! Listen! Arrive! I! Target! Sound! Sound! What? Lin Tian suddenly amplified his voice, lengthened the end note, and shouted loudly word by word: "You! No! Deafness! Let's go! ”

“FUXX！ I don't care about you! No matter how good Williams was, he couldn't hold back at this time and cursed a swear word.

"If you're not deaf, it's good if you're not deaf, I'm really afraid you're old enough to be deaf!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, looked at Williams and said: "If you are not dazzled and deaf, you are not disabled, and you have no burden at all when you abuse it!" ”

In the next game in the first quarter, Lin Tian was crazy about Williams!

He used the cover to get past Williams again and again, and then either shot the layup himself, or waited for the Knicks' Oakley, Johnson and others to help defend and quickly play the ball to the teammates who were missed, so that they could easily score points.

To say that little Van Gundy is also a real bull, or really unresponsive!

Lin Tian chased Williams's ass and beat him indiscriminately, about to beat him into a hornet's nest, and little Van Gundy just didn't shout a timeout or substitution!

Van Gundy did this because he was unresponsive and unresponsive, but the bigger reason was that the Knicks' offense was matched with the Pacers!

Both Houston and Johnson were in great form, and the two of them hit a number of difficult goals in the first quarter.

And Charlie Ward was bullied by Lin Tian for a whole quarter, and in the last second at the end of the quarter, he threw in a super long whistle near the center circle for 3 points!

All kinds of fairy balls allowed the Knicks not only to bite the score, but even to get a 2-point advantage at the end of the first quarter!

29：31！

The Knicks once again showed their resilience and all-hands attributes, and after only a few minutes of Ewing tried his luck in the first quarter, they still withstood the Pacers' firepower and used even more magical and crazy firepower to make everyone put away their contempt.

During the intermission, the state and mood of the whole Pacers team were still very relaxed, almost everyone in this team was an old fritter who was used to seeing big scenes, and they had seen a lot of games in which the opponent suddenly burst into any ball!

On the other hand, the Knicks were so accurate and perverted that they relied on an ultra-long whistle to lead them by two points.

It's not the Pacers who should be in a hurry now, it's the Knicks!

After all, in the first quarter of the game, the Knicks threw in 4 three-pointers and 6 jumpers above the free throw line, and these mid-to-long-range shots away from the basket accounted for 80% of all their points!

And what about the Pacers? Lin Tian scored a game-high 19 points in the first quarter, of which 14 points came from the 3-second zone!

Impact! It's just constantly hitting the basket, and the Knicks don't have anything to do with him!

Constantly hitting the basket and constantly throwing at medium and long distances, which of the two has a higher shooting percentage and which is easier to continue the state, needless to say, everyone knows!

Moreover, the Pacers can defend against the Knicks' shots, and they are in place almost every time they defend, but the Knicks are accurate tonight.

But Lin Tian's breakthrough, the Knicks can't prevent it at all!

It's not just because the stubborn Van Gundy has been using Buck Williams, even when Ewing is there, they can't prevent Lin Tian!

His speed and ability to accelerate after blocking and dismantling are simply not something that the current Knicks can withstand!

"Rick, at the beginning of the second quarter, Patrick will definitely play, and the Knicks will definitely attack him! Remember the last time you two counterpoint in the first quarter? Just keep guarding against him! As long as you can stabilize your center of gravity and not be deceived by him, he will definitely be locked up by you! ”

"That ball in the first quarter, not luck! It was Patrick's shooting that was so stiff and sloppy that he wasn't back in shape at all! ”

"I got Lin! I'll give it a try! After Schmitz finished speaking, he threw off the towel and stood up directly, and this 6-7 minute break seemed to bring a wave of confidence back to his body.

Schmitz was joined by Ross Barkley, Best, Dumas and Fred Hojberg.

The team's third-point point guard, a pure trick.

Bird put him on the pitch at this time......

Well...... Lin Tian didn't understand why.

This guy hasn't played in this period this season, and his time is obviously only on the court in garbage time in the fourth quarter.

"Fred practiced really well and really hard, his 3-pointers improved a lot, and I think he can surprise us!" Bird seemed to see through Lin Tian's thoughts, and muttered to Lin Tian in a low voice.

"Then I'll see." Lin Tian smiled, he is not a ball bully, he has to ask the head coach and general manager to sign and employ people according to their own ideas, if he has this idea, as early as this year's trade deadline, let Bird get Maddie!

On the Knicks' offense, Ewing once again faced Schmitz with the ball in the middle distance, and he took out his signature feint to deceive Schmitz's center of gravity, but Schmitz was still unmoved, just keeping his distance and opening his arms to prevent Ewing from rushing to the basket.

Seeing that his feints could not deceive Schmitz, Ewing could only scold, and then directly pulled up and threw a mid-range shot.

"Boom!"

His most trusted and signature scoring technique once again popped up in the frame.

"Patrick, your shot isn't as good as my grandma!" Twice in a row, Schmitz's self-confidence has improved significantly, and he even began to spew trash talk with Ewing!

Ten seconds later, Schmitz got the basketball on the other side of the court, and instead of feintting, he pulled up and shot, and the basketball slid to the basket and hit it with precision!

"Huh!"

Pacers, tied the score!

"See? Here's how the shot looks! After the goal, Schmitz pounded his chest and hurled words at Ewing, and he was completely in the groove!

"Spanish imp, how many did Lao Tzu beat you in the first quarter? 3 or 4? Have you forgotten what it feels like to be ravaged and trampled upon by me? I'll let you relive it now! ”

"I'm Dutch! Eindhoven, Netherlands! Remember this place, because I'm going to be your nightmare for this series! Schmitz continued to give Ewing a step in the low post, lowering his weight and staring at him tightly.

Ewing, on the other hand, quickly came to his favorite area to catch the ball, and as soon as he arrived, Ward's pass flew over: "Hit him!" Let this softie know you're awesome! ”

At the same time as passing the ball, Ward's shouts also came, and his original intention was to remind Ewing to push the inside line as much as possible and sit down.

But before his words fell, Ewing pulled it up directly!

The first two times he struck iron, Ewing felt that he had done too much of his feints, which caused him to lose his rhythm!

This time, he's going to pick up the shot straight after catching the ball!

This is his favorite rhythm, the most comfortable feeling to shoot!

After the shot, Ewing felt good, one hand still maintained the posture of the shot, and the shape was very coquettish.
