Van Gundy hesitated, thinking about whether to replace Ewing, but at this time, the game on the court did not stop in the slightest, and the players on both sides had already started a fierce hand-to-hand fight on the court!

In the case that Oakley almost gave up the defense, fought hard for the frontcourt rebounds and constantly interfered with the Pacers' baseline ball, the Pacers' fast break was really contained, and they could hardly play any decent fast counterattacks, so they could only fight with the Knicks in the positional battle!

The defensive intensity and physical confrontation of both sides have all been added to the full grid at this time! Whether it is inside or outside, almost every player is constantly wrestling and entangled with their opponents, all their arms are tightly wrapped together, and everyone is doing everything they can to fight!

And the purpose of their confrontation is not even to catch the ball, sometimes it is for a better position, sometimes it is to cover for teammates, sometimes it is to have nothing to do, they just don't want to make their opponents comfortable!

The fire of both sides has reached its highest state in this kind of high-intensity, high-density, and high-contact confrontation.

Miller and Houston didn't finish half the game, and they were already out of breath and couldn't run, because these two guys never stopped, they seemed to be running a marathon, running wild on the court, constantly looking for opportunities.

One ran with all his might, the other chased with all his might, and the heads of these two guys even started to heat up because of the excessive consumption!

And the body-flowing Larry Johnson didn't even have the upper hand over the skill-oriented Christie, Christie's back molars were about to be bitten off by him, but he just didn't give Johnson any chance to attack with the ball, his pair of long arms were wrapped around Johnson's body almost all the time, and there was no intention of relaxing at all.

Johnson was forced to get angry by Christie, but he didn't have any way, because Christie was so perfect in terms of scale, method and footwork! A top-notch tech-stream defender in the league can make his opponent desperate!

And the confrontation on the court is the fiercest, and there are even two sets of counterpoints that are completely indistinguishable from fighting!

Barkley vs. Oakley, Big Ben vs. Ewing!

These four guys are almost living under the basket, and if you look closely, these four guys will have three seconds of offense and three seconds of defense every round, but the referee is obviously not in the mood to blow for a violation of this level at this time.

So the confrontation between these four people under the basket is even more ferocious! Except for when they each ran back and forth on the court, the rest of the time, there was not even a second to tell who the arms belonged to, and who the tangled legs belonged to.

Their confrontation was too fierce, the entanglement was too tight, and from time to time someone would fall to the ground.

But for all this, the referee chose to acquiesce!

This kind of game, this kind of confrontation, the experience of the referees tells them: this time must give the game to the players!

The last matchup on the court was Lin Tian against Charlie Ward.

Originally, Lin Tian should have a full advantage over Ward, and he completely blew up Ward in the first two games.

But tonight's Ward is clearly a little different!

Losing the starting position did not make this guy have the slightest frustration and opinion, but only inspired his fighting spirit and ferocity even more!

He tried his best to keep himself in front of Lin Tian every second! Even when Lin Tian didn't take the ball, he didn't even watch the basketball, but just stared at Lin Tian face to face, pestering him to death!

As long as Lin Tian moves, he will move, and Lin Tian will stop, he will stop!

His task is to entangle Lin Tian and prevent Lin Tian from participating in the attack!

As for other things on the pitch?

Sorry, it has nothing to do with me!

Under Ward's self-destructive defense, Lin Tian also fell into some trouble, because in addition to Ward would rather die and entangle Lin Tian, the four guys on the inside also blocked the space under Lin Tian's impact basket tightly!

With his teammates all entangled and struggling to get space, he couldn't get to the basket because he was full of people, so he had to choose between a mid-range pullup jump shot or a forced 3-pointer from outside the 3-point line against Ward.

And the efficiency of these two offensive methods is obviously not high!

Especially every time Lin Tian makes a shot, he has to go through a very high-intensity physical confrontation to get space, and his hit rate is also not guaranteed!

But of course, it's not just Lin Tian himself who can't guarantee the hit rate! Even Big Ben and Oakley, who are only responsible for making baskets and dunking under the basket, can't maintain their shooting percentage under this kind of confrontation, let alone others, and the shooting percentage of both sides combined for the entire game did not exceed 50%! It's a stark contrast to the crazy confrontation in the first section!

In the first quarter of the game, the Pacers shot 61% and the Knicks shot 58%! And in the last two minutes, both sides didn't concede a single goal!

And in the second quarter, the Knicks' shooting percentage dropped to 23%, and the Pacers only had a pitiful 24%! Combined, there is still a gap of 3 percentage points to reach 50% of the shooting rate!

Whether it is Ewing, Houston, Lintian, Miller Barkley, all of them were too strong in this quarter of the game to put the ball into the basket safely!

In the whole quarter, the Knicks scored a total of 4 field goals, and the Pacers were a little taller, hitting 6!

But the score of the two sides still hasn't been opened, which is of course, just this kind of efficiency, if you can open the score, then there is a ghost!

The few data that both sides have increased rapidly in this quarter of the game are rebounds and turnovers! In addition to these two data, the data of the big guys in other aspects have almost stopped growing.

The score was 39:40 at the end of the first quarter, but at the end of the second quarter, the score was only 55:56!

In this quarter, the two sides played 16:16! The scoring efficiency and the number of points scored are not even half of the first quarter!

Whether it was the fans at the scene or in front of the TV, there was a wonderful sense of division.

The first quarter was the ultimate offensive and run-and-bomb, and the second quarter was the ultimate physical confrontation and positional warfare.

These two styles that are completely incompatible, and should not appear in the same game at all, are so wonderfully displayed to all the fans in the first and second quarters of the same game.

This sense of separation gives all fans the same feeling -

It's worth the ticket price!

It's definitely worth the price!

The first quarter was the ultimate confrontation and extremely wonderful individual performance, and then the game turned into a muddy battle like hand-to-hand combat and dogfight, with both sides fighting for defense! Two completely different styles, two very different viewing experiences.

Seeing two games in one game, isn't it worth blood?

By halftime, fans throughout Madison Square Garden were still immersed in the excitement of the game they had just played, with few leaving their seats to buy groceries or go to the bathroom, watching the highlights replay on the big screen in the middle.

The more you watch, the more exciting it gets! The more I watched, the more excited I became!

And CBS's backstage data also shows that during the halftime advertising time, their ratings did not decline significantly!

At this time in the past, their ratings would have plummeted to only about 30% of the viewers they had at the time of the game.

But today, because the game is extremely exciting, there are still about 70% of the audience who have not changed the channel, but are watching advertisements!

Regardless of whether the fans see what they want from the advertisement, anyway, the merchants who advertised in halftime today have made a lot of money! Advertising at the cheapest halftime is rewarded with top rewards!

This game is definitely the ultimate enjoyment for fans, advertisers and TV stations!

But for the players, especially the starters on both sides, the game was not so friendly!

At halftime, Lin Tian, Miller and Christie, who played the entire 24 minutes of the first half, were all gasping for breath, and the masseur behind them was dutifully massaging them to help them recover as much as possible.

Lin Tian is okay, he is just sweating all over his body, as if he has just been fished out of the water, but his condition is at least normal.

But Miller, who had been running almost a whole marathon with Houston, was pale at this time, and the whole person gave people a feeling of prostration and exhaustion, and Miller's state was really a little bad.

But Rao is like this, this guy is still stiff-mouthed at this moment: "I tell you, that Houston is definitely lying on the floor like a dead dog at this moment, and he can't move when he is tired!" If Lao Tzu doesn't foam at the mouth of his run today, I won't be surnamed Miller! You're right, Doug! Doug? Doug! ”

Miller called Christie three times in a row, and Christie reluctantly raised her head to look at him and said, "Don't talk to me Reggie, Johnson is simply a humanoid beast, he is as strong as a rhinoceros, and he keeps hitting me!" Damn, don't talk to me again until the second half starts! I'm going to get some rest! ”

Except for these three guys who played the whole first half, Barkley who played 22 minutes, and Ben who played 19 minutes, the state was not much better at this time, and the two of them were so tired that they didn't even want to open their eyes.

Bird was also very interested in not arranging any tactics at this time, to pour chicken soup for the players.

Rest! Now all they need is rest!

The situation in the Knicks' locker room is much the same as it is on the Pacers' side.

A few guys who had played the first half were tired as if they had just joined a war, and everyone collapsed in their positions, and let the physiotherapist massage and relax on the spot.

Although Van Gundy didn't set up tactics, he came to Ewing and sat down: "Patrick, I have to apologize!" I have to apologize to you! I knew about you at the start of the second quarter! ”

"But I hesitated for a whole quarter and didn't replace you, as a coach to let my players play a full half of the game with injuries and closures in such a fierce game, I am a very bad, unqualified coach!"

"But now, I've decided! I've made up my mind! In the second half of the game, you don't continue to play, let's rest! I won't let you venture again tonight! You still have a long career ahead of you ......"

"It's a long time? How long? Ewing interrupted Van Gundy very rarely, interjecting: "I'm 36 years old, how many years more can I have in my career?" How many years will I be at my peak? I've already said that to Nick coach, and I really don't want to say it a second time. ”

"I'm going to bet this year! I'm going to win the championship this year! How long will I wait? Wait for Lin and his walkers to get stronger next year? Wait for Michael to find a new partner or wait for the Miami bastards to keep improving? Or even if we break out of the east. ”

"O'Neal, Robinson, Duncan, Malone, that Garnett, these old guys and the little guys, can we beat them next year? Can we be better next year than we are this year? ”

"Coach, this year, everyone has shown their best and peak state, and this year, everyone is at the best stage of their careers! I can't drag them down, I can't let my teammates not go further because I'm bad! ”

"That's not my style! I can accept that I'm the worst of the big four, and I can accept that Mourning is better than me! But you're going to make me the culprit of the team's loss and the one dragging its feet, sorry, I can't do it. ”

"In this fight, I have to fight, I have to persevere! I have to give my team the hope and the chance to keep fighting! ”

Listening to Ewing's affectionate monologue, Van Gundy knew that what he was saying was useless, he could only pat Ewing's knee and say, "If you have any questions, feel free to tell me, and I will replace you immediately!" Patrick, listen, whatever you think, but there's no need! Some things are really unnecessary! ”

"If you feel a little uncomfortable, I'll be out!" Ewing nodded and said, "Coach, let's lay out the tactics, I'm ready!" ”

At this time, Van Gundy and Bird showed a very strange tacit understanding, because the two of them only said one word when arranging their tactics.

"Fight like you did in the first half, kill those bitch bastards!"

In the second half of the game, players from both sides changed sides and fought again!

Bird didn't change the starter, he let Schmitz continue to play against Ewing!

Van Gundy changed his starting lineup again, hitting 100% of the shots in the first quarter, but Starks, who couldn't play in the second quarter, continued to sit on the bench and was replaced by Charry Ward, who played the entire second quarter, to continue to start!

"John, are you mad at me?" Van Gundy didn't go to watch the third quarter of the game, but went straight to Starks' side and said, "After you played what was probably the best game of your career, you were pressed to the bench by me, do you hate me?" ”

"I'm really unhappy and I don't understand." Starks said truthfully: "But I support you, you are a good coach!" ”

"Thank you." Van Gundy patted Starks on the shoulder and said, "I need a full-bodied, not tired John, who is 100% in shape, to play in the fourth quarter and lead us to victory with his accurate shooting and unsolvable breakthroughs!" ”

"When everyone is exhausted and can't fight anymore, that's when you're going to fight, John, do you understand?"

"Got it, coach! I'll be waiting for the moment when you call out my name and let me play! I'm looking forward to it! ”

At this point, the game between the two sides in the third quarter is almost a replica of the second quarter of the game, with an ultra-slow pace, ultra-low scoring efficiency, and one iron after another.

The players on both sides continued to immerse themselves in physical confrontation and marathon duels, and the fact of putting the basketball in the hoop seemed to be no longer important at all, and the coaches of both sides did not shout a timeout in this situation!

The two men were the two for the entire third quarter, plus the official timeout, which is one for one person, for a total of two timeouts.

And these two called a timeout, not to adjust their tactics, they just wanted their main players to rest.

The intensity of this kind of game, this kind of crazy confrontation, the two coaches didn't dare to let too many people play, for fear that one carelessness would lead to a full loss! They all trust their core and starters more, and there are only 8 players on both sides in this game!

And there are a few players who actually came up and played a soy sauce and went through the motions, and then went down again.

And Bird said to Lin Tian during his own timeout: "It's not normal, Starks played so well, but he didn't play at all in the second and third quarters, Van Gundy will definitely not be stupid enough to not let his best players play." ”

"He must have some plan!"

"What else could it be?" Lin Tian leaned back in his chair and rested, and analyzed: "Isn't it just to wait for work and let a scorer with full physical strength come up in the fourth quarter to play left and right and kill the game?" There's nothing to think about and think about, and I don't believe that Van Gundy bald man could come up with anything else. ”

"So how do we deal with it?" Bird looked at Lin Tian, his original intention was to hope that Lin Tian would take the initiative to rest, anyway, in this kind of muddy battle, he couldn't give full play to Lin Tian's speed and organizational advantages, and came down to rest, just in the fourth quarter against Starks.

"That's a little unnecessary." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a Starks, and it's not Michael Jordan, can I still rest early because I'm afraid of him?" ”

"Don't worry, Larry, I have stamina, and in the fourth quarter, I can also play against Starks at full strength! I'm going to seal him up completely! But now, I've got to keep playing! ”

"Understood." Bird nodded and let Lin Tian continue to play, but at the same time, he also took Schmitz down again and let Big Ben go up for him to fight against Ewing and the others!

At this point, Schmitz is a little unable to keep up with the confrontation, and the shortcomings of too weak ability in terms of physical fitness and strength have been fully demonstrated, although he has scored 8 points and 5 rebounds on 4-of-4 shooting, but he can't keep up with the intensity of Ewing and the Knicks on the court at all, although he tried his best, his side effects on the court are still greater than his offerings.

So, after thinking about it, Bird still let Big Ben take his place in the battle!

There is a specialization in the art industry!

Now, compared to Schmitz's two mid-range shots, the team needs Ben's hardness and rebounding more!

The entire third quarter of the game was almost a copy of the second quarter, and the scoring efficiency of both sides still did not improve in the slightest, and once again the shooting rate of both sides did not exceed 30%!

70：72！

By the end of the third quarter, the margin was still not wide, and the score was still low.

By this time, the physical strength of several main players on both sides had reached a bottleneck, Miller, Christie, Barkley, and Lin Tian all played more than 30 minutes, and Miller, Christie, and Lin Tian simply played the first three quarters of the game!

At this moment, these people are tired and panting, and they don't want to move while sitting on the bench.

The situation on the Knicks' side is not much better, Ewing, Houston, and Johnson have all played three quarters, and their consumption is no less than that of the Pacers.

In this game, both sides almost relied on the five starters to play, and their substitute lineups almost did not get any chance to play time and performance.

Can't!

Neither coach dared to change their lineup rashly.

But at this time, it is no longer a matter for the coaches to say that they will continue to persevere, and the players will be able to continue to persevere, even if they can hold on for a few more minutes, but the score between the two sides has not opened up at the moment, and in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, who will play?

The rest that deserves is still given to the players!

After thinking for a long time, Bird looked at his players and said, "Lin, Joe, Fred, Dale and Rick, you five!" Lin, hold on for 3 minutes! I'll let Reggie and them come back to the court to help you! ”

"Before they go back, you try to lower the pace and slow down the fight, don't ......" Speaking of this, Bird suddenly stopped, and then looked at Lin Tiandao as if he had made up his mind: "Forget it!" You can fight however you want! It's up to you when it's time for the next game! ”

"The game is up to you! I believe you! ”

"If you can't hold on, call us up and help you." Barkley spread out on the chair, gasping for breath, and did not forget to sarcastically say a few words about Lin Tian.

"But don't take advantage of our absence and then lose a lot of points, so that when we chase later, it will be very laborious!" Miller was similar to Barkley's, slumped in a chair, and the two guys were soft except for one mouth.

Lin Tian pointed out a middle finger at the two, then turned around and took his teammates back onto the court.

Bird's substitutions at this time are still very bold, compared to the lineup in the second and third quarters, he made four substitutions at once! Let Hojbogo, Dumas, Davis and Schmitz play with Lin Tian!

As for Lin Tian, who continues to appear, he is likely to play 48 minutes today, but there is no way, Bird really doesn't dare to replace Lin Tian, and others replace him, he can more or less find a replacement to top it, but if Lin Tian also goes down, then the Pacers really don't even have a person who can hold the ball!

He had to overdraft Lin Tian, there was no other way!

On the Knicks side, tonight's Van Gundy Jr. seems to have the same heart as Bird, he plays defense, Bird also plays defense, he doesn't make substitutions, Bird doesn't change, and this time, when Bird started to rotate, Van Gundy Jr. also changed, but he didn't rotate on a large scale, but only replaced Ward with Starks, adding an extra firepower point to the team!

But this is a first-quarter state explosion, 7-of-7 shooting from the field to score 17 points Starks!

If it weren't for Van Gundy's insistence on changing his strategy in the second and third quarters to fight the Pacers for muscles, who knows what stats Starks would have been able to play right now.

But what is certain is that if Starks was also on the court in the second and third quarters, then with his current age and physical strength, he would certainly not be able to count on him in the fourth quarter.

Van Gundy is simply gambling, betting that Starks can still find his touch after sitting on the bench for two quarters, betting that the Pacers are seriously physically exhausted, and no one can no longer have the physical strength to keep up with him, and he is also betting that even without Starks' firepower, the Knicks can bite the game in the second and third quarters of the game!

Now, his goal has been largely achieved, and only one last item remains.

Can Starks' feel continue?

Yes!

The Knicks' first offense in the fourth quarter, the basketball was directly given to the energetic and full state Starks, this guy held the ball and faced Lin Tian, two not big but extremely fast changes of direction for themselves to shake up a lost space, and once again unreasonably pulled up and threw it!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Starks sat on the bench for 24 minutes, and the basketball went straight into the hoop!

"Come on! Come on, Rin! Let me see what you're up to! Do you still have the strength to defend me? Starks thumped his chest, his eyes blood-red, and now he was in the best state of his life!

The entire Madison Garden Square erupted in earth-shattering cheers and shouts, and the whole audience was screaming and shouting Starks' name!

This guy who has not been at his peak in recent years, but is just dedicating his energy on the bench, played the most extreme performance on this night!

Van Gundy, who had always been calm or sat on the sidelines as motionless as a mountain, couldn't help but stand up, raised his hands high, and roared!

This 3-pointer made him see the hope of the team winning!

Can win! Starks is still in shape!

"Then we'll see!" Lin Tian smiled and chewed gum, Starks' 3-point shot just now didn't bring him any burden, he took the baseline ball, and after coming to the front court without hurrying, facing Starks, who lowered his center of gravity and looked provocative, Lin Tian didn't speak, nor did he confront him, and directly chose to pass!

Schmitz, who had just come to the free throw line, got Lin Tian's pass, and glanced at Ewing, who was still under the basket and didn't follow at all, this guy pulled up and threw it, a signature mid-range upside down, and the 2-point shot simply went into the net!

"You're not the only one who will hit tonight." Lin Tian looked at Starks, clapped his hands with Schmitz and said, "Our Rick, we haven't lost a single one!" ”

"You unseeded coward! Don't you dare to go it alone with me, do you? Don't you dare to face me? What about your courage? Starks took the baseline ball and pushed forward while spewing trash talk at Lin Tian.

"Let me tell you a truth." Lin Tian was unmoved, still extremely calm: "The courage of a child is to rush forward regardless of it, while the courage of an adult is to make the most rational decision no matter what the situation." ”

"You mentally handicapped person who is not yet 13 years old, go back to college, and then come and talk to me about courage!"

"And, if you're not a coward, what were you doing for those 24 minutes? Do you change diapers to prevent yourself from being scared into peeing your pants or do you pray to Jesus in your heart that He will not kill you on the basketball court? ”

"John, don't let his trash talk get damned." Ewing quickly passed by Starks, patted him on the ass and said, "He trash talk, even Michael can't stand it." ”

"Yes, Michael can't bear it, let alone you, who can't even compare to Michael's toes!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, returned to his defensive position, lowered his center of gravity and looked at Starks and said, "Come, let me see how many you can score tonight!" ”

In the face of Lin Tian's trash talk, Starks didn't say more, he found Ewing this time, let Ewing make a cover for himself, and then he quickly broke through to the inside.

But Lin Tian's speed was too fast, and before Starks could rush to the free throw line, Lin Tian had already bypassed the cover and appeared in front of him again!

For Lin Tian, as long as God doesn't always favor this guy and let him go in without reason, then it won't be a big problem to prevent him from killing himself!

Starks didn't force it this time, but found Ewing with a one-handed pass, and Ewing simply pulled up and shot after taking the ball!

The closed right hand once again withstood the pressure, and with a soft flick of the wrist, the basketball drilled into the basket accurately!

"Come on, Lin! This game is not a bullfight, nor is it a personal vendetta! After scoring the goal, Ewing showed a rare attitude and said: "This game is a grudge between two cities!" We'll do whatever it takes to defeat each other! ”

"It's not enough to use all the methods against you, Dale!" Lin Tian's last words were shouted at Davis, who had just walked to the bottom line, and as soon as Davis heard Lin Tian shouting at him, he immediately raised his hand and threw the ball towards the front court, as if he had some stress reaction!

Davis's passing technique is not as good as Barkley's, so the ball is not very good, and the basketball landing point is closer to Houston than Lin Tian!

Lin Tian and Houston ran wildly together and pounced towards the landing point of the basketball! In this kind of game, no one will stand there waiting for the basketball to find him, which is completely equivalent to giving up the ball!

In the final analysis, it was Lin Tian's speed that was faster and the confrontation was better, he staggered Houston with his shoulder, and he himself was a little staggered by the anti-shock force, but in the end, Lin Tian grabbed the basketball faster, and then before losing his center of gravity and flying out of the bottom line, Lin Tian grabbed the basketball with one hand and threw it out towards the front court!

Hojberg, who had just come on the court and was full of strength, happened to shake off the heavy Johnson at this time, hugged the basketball, rushed to the basket, and pulled it up with a violent dunk!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Hojberg once again repaid Bird's trust!

"I'm sorry Lin, I passed this ball a little badly!" Davis blamed himself for walking to the sideline and pulling Lin Tian up, apologizing to him.

"You've done a great job! I wanted to pass the ball quickly, and I wanted it too suddenly! Next time I'll give you a signal in advance! Well, stop talking nonsense, defend! ”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at everyone in the stadium and shouted:

"Defend! Guys, defend! ”

Barkley and Miller listened to Lin Tian's roar, and the two of them stood up and said, "Larry, let's rest!" ”

"Wait." Bird had also stood up from the bench at this time, he looked at Lin Tian and the other players, stretched out his hand to comfort the two generals and said, "The last 9 minutes!" The last 9 minutes, you two and Doug are on the board together! We need to have enough stamina to play the last few minutes of the game! ”

In the next 2 minutes of the game, the two sides were still arguing, although Schmitz hit another 2 points, and Stark finally shot twice in a row, but Schmitz and Davis couldn't withstand Ewing, and he grabbed the frontcourt rebounds in a row to complete the rebound, and the scores of the two sides could not be pulled away!

But one thing is different from the first two quarters, in this quarter of the game, the feeling of both sides seems to be resurrected!

They're all starting to hit the ball!

With 9 minutes left in the game, the score was 84:85!

Knicks, 1 point behind!

Bird called a timeout again at this juncture!

It's time for a change!

Looking at Lin Tian, who was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the Hudson River, Bird couldn't help but ask: "Lin ......"

"Hold on, my physical strength is fine!" Lin Tian looked at Bird and nodded firmly, even if his current physical strength is definitely the top in the league, the consumption of this game is still too great.

He really felt like his lungs were going to explode.

But on the field, it's definitely no problem!

Because Lin Tian believed that others would only be worse than him!

"Ben, Charles, Doug, Reggie, get on! The last 9 minutes! Give New Yorkers a 3:0! Bird slapped vigorously and encouraged the players: "Let New Yorkers go to hell!" Let them know that we are the best team of the year! ”

"Kill them!"

Lin Tian took the sweat wiping gear on his elbow, turned around and led his teammates behind him, and strode towards the court.

The Knicks, on their side, also lined up their strongest lineup today!

Ewing, Oakley, Johnson, Houston, Starks!

In the last 9 minutes, the decisive moment has arrived!

Back to the first offense on the court, the Pacers served in the middle, Lin Tian did not rush to attack by himself with the ball, but distributed the ball to Barkley in the low post, rested for 3 minutes, and let the energetic Barkley rush two at this time, which is definitely the best time!

Barkley was not polite after taking the ball, and went all the way to the 3-second zone with Oakley, and immediately jumped up after a feint shook him away!

"Smack!"

But Ewing didn't know when he arrived from the wing to help the defense, slapped Barkley's shot, Houston grabbed the fan basketball, and then quickly found Starks, who held the ball and launched a counterattack!

The Pacers' defense is definitely fast enough!

Their modest advantage showed their advantage in the process of rapid retreat, Christie and Miller found Houston and Johnson respectively, and Big Ben ran all the way to the basket without looking back, and he had to guard the basket!

Lin Tian was sticking to Starks, and at this time of the game, Lin Tian was also going all out, no longer having the slightest reservation, and his tough defense made Starks' advance forcibly interrupted near the middle line.

"John!" Ewing's roar came from the side, and Starks immediately gave the basketball to Ewing with a ground pass, and Ewing didn't think about passing the ball after taking the ball, but dribbled the ball himself and ran towards the basket!

Johnson and Houston immediately pulled away from left and right, giving Ewing plenty of room to impact.

Lin Tiangang wanted to turn around and block Ewing, but was deliberately dragged and pushed by Starks, and the two of them immediately fell to the ground in embarrassment!

Ewing was unhindered in front and back, dribbling the ball and running towards the basket!

In the face of Ewing, who had already rushed up with all his might, Big Ben was not afraid at all, opened his arms, saw the opportunity, and jumped up with open hands!

"Smack!" The two of them collided heavily in the air, and then it was Ewing who was as strong as a bull, and the external strength of the impact took the upper hand! Big Ben was knocked to the ground directly by Ewing after a confrontation!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Ewing, the patron saint of New York, dunked with both hands, accompanied by Ewing's crazy roar, the Knicks overtook by one point!

"Charles, what about you!" Lin Tian, who shook off Starks from the floor and finally got up, looked at Barkley, who had just hurried back to the halfcourt, and said angrily: "What did you do just now!" If you don't want to fight, if you want to be lazy, then you go back to Indiana and be lazy! Why don't you go back to defense? ”

Lin Tian rarely gets angry with his teammates, and directly sprays his teammates on the court, which is an extremely rare first time!

Starks looked at Lin Tian and Barkley with a wicked smile and smug next to him, he felt that there must be a fight!

What kind of temper is Barkley? When has he ever been wronged like this in his life? Can he endure this? He's not Barkley!

Just when Starx was thinking about whether to add fuel to the fire and fan the flames for them, Lin Tian suddenly disappeared!

He's already flashed past Starks and started running towards the frontcourt!

Starks just wanted to turn around and catch up with Lin Tian, but what appeared in front of him was Barkley's smiling face!

Fooled!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Starx slammed into Barkley's body and fell again.

Christie, who was on the baseline, had already thrown the basketball to the front court with a one-arm long throw.

Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, jumped up and down easily, and completed a layup!

Pacers, overtake again!

(End of chapter)
