"Reggie is alright, right?" After a short period of confusion, the game resumed again, and Jordan walked to Lin Tian's side and asked, "The situation doesn't seem to be good?" ”

"There is a high probability that the season will be reimbursed." For Jordan, Lin Tian didn't hide it, but he was in a very bad mood now.

Even when Miller just left, he even dropped a big gift to him, Lin Tian was not happy at all.

Miller is definitely one of his best friends, Lin Tian will bully and tease his guys to gain more experience points, but this kind of thing that is likely to affect Miller's entire career, Lin Tian really doesn't want to see it!

This is the first time since he got the system that he wants to return his skills to the system and exchange them for a healthy Miller!

What made Lin Tian even more unhappy was that when Miller was injured just now, he wanted to give Miller the 'Injury Waiver Card' that he had always kept, but the system told him that he failed to use it.

This thing is actually different from those 'fattening potions', 'expired pizza' and the like, you can only use it on yourself!

With a full of unhappiness, Lin Tian looked at the skills that had just exploded in the system.

"Reggie Miller Mood Swings, Drop Skill: King of Shooters LV1 (0/2000)!"

"King of Shooters LV1: 3-point shooting rate increased by 3%, mid-range shooting rate increased by 4%, three-point shooting rate increased by an additional 1% in the last 20 seconds of the game, and if you shoot directly after receiving the ball, the shooting percentage will increase by an additional 1%!"

After this injury that could destroy his entire career, Miller's mood swings were huge, and he directly exploded his most important skills!

And Lin Tian felt that this thing was probably the top three good thing among all the shooting skills he could obtain.

After all, although Miller's 3-point shot will be surpassed by Ray Allen and Curry in 20 years, including Lillard and Klay Thompson, it is also very likely that he will surpass him in 3-point shooting, but no matter what, he is definitely the top three 3-point shooters in NBA history over there!

After taking a look at this skill, Lin Tian did not hesitate, and directly gave the experience points accumulated in the past half a season to Stud, and improved this shooting skill to LV2!

"King of Shooters LV2 (0/4000): 3-point shooting rate increased by 4%, mid-range shooting rate increased by 5%, three-point shooting rate increased by 2% in the last 20 seconds of the game, and if you shoot directly after receiving the ball, the shooting percentage will increase by an additional 2%!"

Suddenly, Lin Tian actually had a very middle two idea!

Take Reggie's share and win!

So, Lin Tian continued to say to Jordan: "You guys are going to lose tonight!" I'm not going to go to the hospital to see Reggie with a loss! ”

"Then we'll see!" Although he has a good relationship with Miller, Jordan has always been clear, he will not release water because of Miller's accident, and he will not be restless and in a state of decline because of this matter!

Especially, Miller is out, if we still lose to you, then I Jordan won't have to mess around in the future!

"Reggie's injury, it looks very serious." Barkley was also a little restless at this point: "I really wish I could hear good news, but the feedback we gave on the field and the expressions of the players told us that Reggie's injury is not light! ”

"Pray, let's pray for Reggie, let's hope he's okay!"

Barkley's state has obviously become wrong, he and Miller do pinch when they meet, and scold when they open their mouths, but they are really one of the best friends! If it weren't for TNT's contract, Barkley would have wanted to walk out of the studio right now to call Miller, or simply fly to Indiana to see how Miller was doing.

He can still sit here, he is already very dedicated!

At this point, the game on the pitch continues!

Jordan continued to reach out for the ball in the low post, and the person who defended him finally became Lin Tian!

"Come on Michael! You're going to lose tonight! And it must have been a fiasco! Lin Tian put his hands on Jordan's back, he didn't have the slightest bit of fun and teasing, the trash talk that could say flowers was also sealed by Lin Tian, and now he just wants to win!

Jordan's back-to-back singles are still very oppressive, especially after the mistake just now, Jordan's offense is more cautious and serious, so that Lin Tian has nowhere to start the ball.

Then Jordan completed his signature back turn and back-to-back jumper, and the mid-range pull up was a direct hit!

After Jordan scored, Lin Tian didn't even look at Jordan, and Lin Tian, who was bent on winning, had already begun to go up!

He quickly shouted at Schmitz, who was standing on the bottom line, for the ball, and then after getting the baseline ball, regardless of it, he began to attack the front court at full speed!

This time, Lin Tian no longer observed the position of his teammates and the defense of the Knicks, but stuffed his head and ran all the way to the frontcourt!

Although this is very unreasonable and it is easy to fall into the defensive trap of the Knicks, it can make Lin Tian's speed completely explode without reservation!

After a crazy impact all the way, no one in the Knicks team could keep up with Lin Tian's speed, he went all the way to the basket and easily completed a one-dragon layup without hindrance!

At this time, the 24-second timer has only gone for 4 seconds!

It's almost to the extreme!

Next, Jordan and Ewing completed a high-low post combination, Jordan attracted the defense in the high post, and then distributed the ball to Ewing for him to finish.

Ewing under the basket easily pushed Schmitz away, but he didn't notice that Lin Tian had already killed him, and slapped it again, Ewing screamed, he was very sure that his hand was hit by Lin Tian, but the referee chose to ignore it!

Maybe it's because the players are one, maybe it's because Lin Tian is too fast, and the referee can't tell at all, of course, it may be that the referee is compensating for the loss of Reggie of the Pacers team when he leaves the court due to injury.

But in short, the referee didn't blow the whistle, and Lin Tian once again attacked at full speed and launched another attack towards the frontcourt!

This time, Lin Tian was still with a galloping speed, and no one could stop him at all, although because he was attacking from under the basket this time, he ran farther, resulting in when he reached outside the 3-point line, Houston had already returned to the basket, and Jordan could also reach out in front of Lin Tian to defend.

But Lin Tian didn't care at all!

He suddenly stopped outside the 3-point line, and then dribbled slightly away from Jordan's center of gravity with two large changes of direction in a row, and then Lin Tian used this fleeting tiny space to directly chase down the three-point unreasonable shot!

Offense and defense are switched, someone is defending, and the defender is almost directly on the face!

This kind of ball, in this era, no one dares to throw it at all.

But Lin Tian just dared!

He just forced a 3-point shot against Jordan and a super difficult 3-pointer!

"Huh!"

Three seconds later, the sound of the basketball passing through the net sounded beautifully, as if to tell everyone: If you can score, it is a good ball, and there is nothing reasonable or unreasonable!

In the next few minutes of the third quarter, Lin Tian has maintained his extremely vigorous and fiery state and desire to shoot, he monopolized almost all the team's shots during this time, and he kept charging, shooting, breaking through, and making layups alone.

An almost crazy Lin Tian!

In the entire third quarter, Lin Tian relied on this anger and scored 28 points in a single quarter with an almost crazy style of play!

And under Lin Tian's almost brainless crazy play, his hit rate is ridiculously high! In this quarter, he shot all 10 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 5 free throws, hitting 100% of the shots!

"This is the first time in NBA history that someone has scored 28 points in a single quarter with all-out efficiency! Unprecedented! It's definitely a night like no other! Barkley looked at Lin Tian's furious and roared excitedly: "Reggie's injury retreat has completely released Lin's firepower, and now Lin is like an angry rhinoceros!" ”

"He will crush all opponents and enemies who stand in his way!"

"Tonight's Lin, strong and terrible!"

Kenny couldn't help but say next to him: "Moreover, I think tonight must be extraordinary for Michael, he was really crushed by Lin tonight!" I don't think Michael has experienced much of this feeling since he was able to defeat his brother in heads-up. ”

Kenny is right!

Jordan's first half tonight was perfect, and the third quarter was just as good!

Jordan scored 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting in this quarter!

Coupled with the 33 points in the first half, Jordan scored 49 points in the third quarter of the game!

But on the field, especially in the third quarter, he was actually completely suppressed by Lin Tian, because in the second half of the third quarter, especially in the last 3 minutes, Jordan shot 1 of 4 and only scored 2 points!

And not only 4 shots and 1 hit, in the last 3 minutes, he also ate a hot pot sent by Lin Tian, and was completed by Lin Tian face-to-face with a steal!

Although this is because Jordan's physical strength has obviously declined and there is a problem with physical reserves, it is clear that neither Jordan nor Jordan's fans are ready to use this as an excuse.

After all, the Pacers also gave up a Miller!

That is, in these 3 minutes, because of Jordan's poor performance, the Pacers seized the opportunity and quickly opened up the difference, and at the end of the third quarter, the Pacers had a 16-point lead!

The score became 87:103!

And in the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, the Pacers played an 11:2 offensive climax and opened the score in one fell swoop!

But even with so much lead over the Knicks, even if the Pacers have basically won this game, Indiana fans are still obviously unhappy.

Because just a few minutes ago, the Pacers officially updated their injury report.

Miller's right wrist fracture requires surgery with a recovery time of 8-12 weeks!

This news is not a bolt from the blue sky for the whole of Indiana!

After all, there is only one month left in the regular season this season, the playoffs will start in early May, and according to the date given by the league, the finals will start on June 16, even if you hit a tiebreaker, that is, it will end on July 1!

And Miller needs to be out of action for at least eight weeks, and he will not be able to return until at least the second round of the playoffs, and if you add the time for him to recover and regain his feelings, then when he recovers his feelings, it will be at least a matter of the Eastern Conference Finals or even the Finals! And without Miller, the Pacers would obviously have had a hard time getting to that position.

It's more likely: Miller hasn't come back yet, or hasn't found his groove after his comeback, and the Pacers have been eliminated!

Even this is the best and most optimistic expectation, if Miller's surgery is not successful and the injury recovery is not as expected, then he will have to return in July and August!

By that time, the season was already over!

It's too late for anything.

Countless Indians were heartbroken on this night, and they felt that their dream of defending their title was over before it had even begun!

They are so sad, so sad that Lin Tian killed Jordan and the team led the Knicks by a large score, which completely failed to make Indiana fans forget the pain!

After all, no matter who the opponent is, tonight's game is a regular season game after all! And Indiana fans, of course, want to teach the Knicks a good lesson on the stage of the playoffs!

Indiana tonight is not destined to be too happy.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Van Gundy, who was already 16 points behind, dared to let Jordan and Ewing rest off the court, he didn't consider the rest time of these two veterans at all, and directly let the two of them continue to play!

Looking at Van Gundy's appearance, as long as there is still suspense in the game, then Jordan doesn't want to rest tonight.

Let's do it for 48 minutes!

It's just that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, even though Jordan took a break of a few minutes between the intersections, he was still out of breath at this time and didn't look back at all.

In Jordan's career, there have been more games that have played the first three quarters, but there are really not many moments like this when the legs that are tired after three quarters are obviously weak!

Especially when the intensity of tonight is large, but not very large, Jordan's appearance tonight really has a bit of a strong man's twilight and powerlessness.

"Your legs are weak, Michael, you don't rest for a minute, do you think you're still 28 years old?" Lin Tian stuck Jordan with his shoulder as usual, entangled with him, and after almost a full section of confrontation with Jordan, Lin Tian was the one who could intuitively feel that Jordan's strength and resistance were declining!

"Wordy! Lao Tzu can still play like this all day! Jordan scolded, then suddenly ran to the outside to ask for the ball, took the ball and raised it on the spot, and then stepped to break through to the inside.

But Lin Tian was not fooled at all, he still maintained his defensive position, although Jordan immediately made an emergency stop, relying on the advantage of height to pull up a mid-range jumper, this ball wants to block, it is absolutely impossible! After all, the two have a height difference of almost 10 centimeters.

But Lin Tian's confrontation was very sufficient, although he couldn't touch Jordan's basketball on the third road, but it also made Jordan's jump very insufficient, and he didn't have any strength at all.

"Boom!"

Jordan's shot was somewhat outrageous, and the basketball was almost blocked by Lin Tian, but he barely touched the basket.

Big Ben pulled down the rebound, and then found Lin Tian as soon as possible.

Lin Tian grabbed the basketball and launched a counterattack again!

At this time, Jordan couldn't catch up with Lin Tian at all, he saw Lin Tian getting farther and farther away from him, and killed all the way to the basket to complete a blood dunk, but he couldn't do anything!

At this moment, Jordan felt a burst of discomfort.

For the first time in his career, he felt that he might be really old!

Faced with an 18-point gap, Jordan took the ball in the low post again, and after continuous confrontation and feints, Jordan once again retreated to shoot, but the result of this shot was very similar to the last time!

Lin Tian confronted the foot, Jordan was unstable after a large consumption, and then led to insufficient jumping height and incomplete force, and the basketball shot was a little outrageous again, still hitting the front of the basket.

"I've never seen Michael so powerless in my life! He completely lost control of the game! I can't say if this is the first time in his career, but tonight he looks so old and powerless! After two rounds in a row, Barkley couldn't help but give his own assessment.

"I guess I have to agree with you Charles." Kenny also sighed and said: "It's not that he hasn't lost, and it's not that the Bulls haven't lost to their opponents by 2-30 points all at once, including in the playoffs, Michael was also swept by someone!" ”

"Boston, Detroit, and even last year's Indiana all had painful memories for Michael! But every time before, I didn't feel like this tonight! Michael may really be old! His physical strength does not allow him to play more than 45 minutes of matches without stopping for a second as he used to. ”

Neither Kenny nor Barkley went on further on this topic.

Because if you continue to talk about it, it's a little sad, and the fans have suffered enough tonight.

Miller said goodbye to this season early, and they don't want Jordan to leave tonight.

Even if it was going to happen whether they said it or not, Barkley and Kenny just didn't want to continue the conversation.

The players of their time had their own character and beliefs.

After defending Jordan's shots twice in a row, Lin Tian's second quick counterattack went all the way to the Knicks' 3-point line, and then once again unreasonably pulled up directly, chasing the 3-point shot resolutely!

"Huh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian hit his 5th three-point tonight, and at the same time, it was also his 52nd point tonight!

After he scored 5 points in a row in the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides has expanded to 21 points!

In the next few minutes, Jordan still refused to admit defeat, he was still attacking, but physical strength, when it is exhausted, it is exhausted! Jordan couldn't let another force appear in his body out of thin air.

There is nothing he can do!

Jordan only hit one of the three stubborn shots in a row, although this goal brought his score to 51 points, but the difference between the two sides at this time has exceeded 25 points.

The suspense of the game, with Jordan cutting another 50+ in his career, completely disappeared without a trace.

After two more minutes, Van Gundy knew the game was irretrievable.

After a deep sigh, Van Gundy waved his hand and replaced Jordan and Ewing, as well as Houston and others, who had played all the time before, and announced that they had surrendered, and the game officially entered garbage time!

Bird, who had just experienced attrition tonight, was completely careless, and at the moment when Van Gundy replaced people, he instructed Carter to deliberately foul the game into a dead ball state, and then quickly replaced all the main players!

The Pacers can't afford any important player attrition without Miller!

With one less Miller, Bird can also add playing time for the likes of Mullin, Carter, Hojberg and others to burn up his time and court offerings.

But if there is one less absolute main force, then this season, there will be no more play!

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 99:121.

In the case of losing Miller, the Pacers broke out in the second half with unparalleled combat power and easily defeated the Eastern rival New York Knicks, not only won this important game that attracted worldwide attention, but also continued to consolidate their ranking as the first in the East!

Their lead over the Knicks reached 2 games, and with less than 20 games left in the last month of the season, the Pacers' lead is not small!

But despite an important victory, at the press conference after the game, several members of the Pacers did not have a smile on their faces, and everyone had worries written on their faces.

"We've been told that Reggie will be out for 8-12 weeks, what do you think about that?" Like the players, tonight's reporters weren't too interested in this game, and they wanted to know more about the Pacers' strategy after Miller's departure.

"I'm sorry and I'm very worried, but all I have to say is: first of all we will continue to do our best to win as many games as possible, and then whenever Reggie comes back, I will make sure he plays! Unless he does announce the reimbursement of the season, we will not be eliminated no matter when he returns! ”

"Whether it's the Eastern Conference Semifinals or the Eastern Conference Finals, or the Finals, we'll all be waiting for Reggie!"

"But more importantly, instead of rushing back in order to play this season, I hope Reggie can recover well and return to 100% condition before coming back, he must not be in a hurry, don't come back forcefully! No matter what the situation, I care more about his health! ”

"We can lose a championship, but we can't risk Reggie."

Lin Tian's words not only expressed his confidence in the team, but also expressed his trust in Miller, which can be described as leaky.

But of course, the reporters will not let Lin Tian go like this, and one reporter continued: "So Lin, Miller has averaged 32 minutes per game this season, averaged 16 points per game, and is your top three-point shooter, how will you respond next to fill his vacancy?" ”

"It's not my job, it's Larry's job, and I'm sure as Coach of the Year, he's going to have a really good way to do it, he's going to come up with the perfect response, you know, we've got a lot of talented guys on the team!"

"So you mean, Reggie's place is easy to take over, right?"

A very young reporter who had no impression of Lin Tian at all excitedly wanted to dig a pit for Lin Tian and asked this question, and for a while, the entire scene of the press conference was quiet.

Lin Tian stared at the reporter who thought he was smart, and didn't speak, but just stared at him.

The whole scene was quiet for more than 1 minute, and the young reporter who just thought he was powerful and felt that he had seized the loophole in Lin Tian's problem was excited, expectant, strange, surprised, and then afraid, shocked, frightened, and regretful.

Although Lin Tian didn't say a word, the young reporter felt a cold murderous aura in Lin Tian's eyes!

He felt like an unlucky ghost being targeted by a vicious beast, helpless, and could be directly eaten by Lin Tian at any time.

He was able to stand at first, then his legs began to tremble, and then he sat directly on the chair, and everyone at the scene could see the thick sweat on his forehead, and he was terrified!

"Then let's talk about Michael and the Knicks." A kind-hearted reporter couldn't bear to see his young colleague being scared like this, so he hurriedly asked a serious question, hoping to get Lin Tian to let him go.

"There's not much to say." After Lin Tian said this, he didn't say a word, but stood up directly and walked out of the scene of the press conference.

He's in a bad mood and doesn't want to waste time here with the ignorant media.

After Lin Tian left, the reporter who had just asked a stupid question finally dared to gasp for breath, no matter what the peers around him thought of him, but he did have a feeling of rebirth after the catastrophe!

"100% hit and slashed 20+ in a single section, Lin Tian set a new record! 》

"The second half is powerful! Lin Tian slashed 50+"

Crush Jordan! From the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jordan played the most unbearable 5 minutes of his life.

The Official Coronation Battle? After this battle, no one will question the identity of the first person in the Lintian Alliance! 》

"Jordan cut 50+ and lost but was not wronged, the three data shows that his dominance is not as good as before! 》

"The 36-year-old Jordan has finally officially handed over the scepter of the alliance, and the first person in the alliance will officially change hands from today! 》

"The Pacers' big win is a huge problem, how do they find a replacement for Reggie?" 》

8-12 weeks! Miller is reimbursed for the regular season, and there is only a theoretical possibility of a playoff comeback! 》

"Unfortunately Injured! Will the all-time top scorer step down? 》

"Count the five classic battles of Miller's career!" When will the league's number one assassin return to the court? 》

Watch carefully! Looking back at the moment of Miller's injury, it was an inconsequential save that led to the loss of the season! 》

"The Pacers' road to defending the title is facing the biggest difficulty, how can they fill the void without the team's second child? 》

"Carter or Mullin, who can fill Miller's vacancy?" Count the top 5 players for the Pacers in free agency! 》

"It's not time to hurt! The market gates are closed, and the walkers are slowing down! 》

"Eighth and fourth in the East or the best ranking? Can the Pacers hold on to first place in the East? 》

……

On this night, the battle between the Pacers and the Knicks, as well as Miller's injury and how the Pacers can fill the void in Miller's absence, became the center of all the discussions, and the Indians worried about whether the team's title defense trip would be ruined.

And the fans of other teams are thinking that their team has a chance!

Especially the fans of the Hawks and Magic, who are now ranked fourth and fifth in the East, even feel that they have a chance to benefit from it and be able to take advantage of Miller's injury to rush to the division finals!

Amid discussions, worries and doubts, the Pacers have a back-to-back Game 2 against the Detroit Pistons, who are currently sixth in the East!

Against the Pistons led by Grant Hill and Stackhouse, perhaps because of back-to-backs, or perhaps because Miller's sudden absence affected their rotation and chemistry.

In short, the Pacers failed to play any convincing performance tonight, although Lin Tian scored 27 points and 9 assists, but the team lost the game by 13 points!

Carter, who was promoted to the starting line-up tonight, did not perform well against Grant Hill, scoring only 8 points on 3-of-14 shooting, and Christie also failed to play as well as he should, scoring only 5 points on 2-of-8 shooting!

The performance of the two starters was so bad at the same time, Lin Tian's 27+9 naturally became an empty cut!

Then, after a two-day break, the Pacers traveled to Philadelphia on April 5 to take on Allen Iverson's 76ers, and Bird changed the lineup again to start the veteran Mullin.

Unexpectedly, the old coach Larry Brown designed a lot of blocking and dislocation tactics against the aging Mullin, so that Iverson kept holding the ball and singled Mullin and won repeatedly!

On the defensive end, Hughes, Lynch, Snow, McGee and other 76ers outside group chased and intercepted Lin Tian, almost the whole court, Mullin was blown up by Iverson and affected his offensive touch, Christie hit 2 3-pointers but it was also a drop in the bucket.

In this game, Miller's absence caused the Pacers to lack an important firepower point on the outside, and although Lin Tian scored 33 points, he only handed out 6 assists!

Because the Pacers except for Lin Tian, the rest of the outside performance was almost a mess, and the game was extremely bad, they couldn't receive the ball passed by Lin Tian, perhaps the only thing to praise was that Carter, who returned to the bench, regained his sense again and scored 14 points!

Despite the loss, Bird found a new way to rotate the team, allowing Carter to continue playing as the sixth man and the more experienced Mullin to the starting line-up.

Even if Mullin's defense is easy to penetrate by opponents, at least this can make Carter shine on the bench!

The next April 7th, the Pacers will play their fourth game in seven days, and their opponent is the league's fish belly Denver Nuggets!

In this game against the league's bottom-down team, the Pacers finally got rid of the haze of losing streak, and the whole team broke out, chopping melons and vegetables to win easily, ending the two-game losing streak!

But then, before the team could rejoice, they lost again, and this time they lost two games in a row!

And these two losses are a bit unacceptable.

They first lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are 11th in the East and the team's twin towers have been reimbursed, in this game, Lin Tian was full of firepower, scoring 48 points, but Mullin and Christie played undercover performance again, and Rick Schmitz was completely overwhelmed in the face of the young big Z!

'Big Z' Ilgerskas completely blew up Schmitz tonight and played the brightest night of his career so far: 33 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks! With him guarding on the inside, the Cavaliers upset and won the first Pacers in the East!

And after this loss, the Pacers' ranking fell directly to second in the East and was overtaken by the Knicks!

Then, on April 12, the Pacers, who have been in poor form lately, came to Milwaukee to face the Bucks, who had just completed a trade before the trade deadline and formed the 'Three Musketeers'.

At the same time, the Bucks are now ranked seventh in the East and are also a likely opponent for the Pacers in the playoffs!

In this game, the Pacers' defense was once again broken down, and the Bucks' 3 musketeers all played at a high level! Ray Allen hit 6 three-pointers to score 29 points, 'Big Dog' Glenn Robinson scored 25 points, and Sam Cassel, the 'alien' who just came to the team, also recorded 25 points and 11 assists!

With all three scoring 25 points, the Bucks also used their surging firepower to defeat the Pacers in an upset, giving them their fourth defeat in 8 days!

After this wave of 2-4, the Pacers' situation has reached the bottom, they are not only overtaken by the Knicks, but the third-place Heat is now eyeing the Pacers, wanting to take advantage of the Pacers' poor state to complete the overtake in the record.

And there are a lot of doubts about the poor performance of the Pacers after Miller's absence!

Some people say that Lin Tian is not a qualified leader, and some people say that Miller is the real soul of this Pacers team! Others say that without Miller, the Pacers would be just a first-round playoff team.

Of course, more doubts are directed at Lin Tian.

Data brushes, can't lead the team to victory alone, can't quickly adapt to the team's new lineup, can only score on their own can't help the team win, can't help teammates get better......

Even, some people directly said: Miller's absence will disintegrate this Pacers team, and their championship last year is already everything they can get! The best way for the team now is to trade Lin Tian and complete the rebuild quickly.

All kinds of ridicule and questioning make the Pacers now considered internal and external troubles, full of danger!

Lin Tian did not give any response to this kind of questioning and various voices, he has not been interviewed by the media in the past few days, nor has he given any bold statements as before.

Lin Tian, who has always been high-profile and arrogant, has actually kept a low profile in the past few days!

The outside world is speculating whether Lin Tian is cowardly, whether he is finally afraid! Is this young man who has been smooth sailing in the first three years of his career, and who is always surrounded by top stars, mature systems, and top coaches, really scared?

In the two days that Lin Tian was silent, there were even several TV stations that directly opened a debate program, and the debate topic was very simple: Is Lin the most overrated star in NBA history!

This is the NBA, this is the real and brutal nature of competitive sports!

This is also the urine sex that the media has always had!

In less than ten days, because Lin Tian and the Pacers lost a few games, countless people jumped out to beat Lin Tian into a weak chicken, seized the opportunity to fall into a hole for him, and tried every means to discredit him!

If Lin Tianzhen is in a slump, then they are unpredictable prophets and experts with excellent foresight!

If Lin Tian finds his form tonight and plays bravely, hehe, then what they said before will be treated as if they didn't say it!

The reason why Lin Tian's topic has been hyped by countless media and TV stations in the past two days is not only because of Lin Tian's own popularity and popularity, and the super high attention of the Pacers, but also because after the 8 days and 6 games of the Hell-level difficulty at the beginning of the month, the Pacers got two days of rest.

And after they had rested for two days, they set out on their journey again, the same place where their nightmare began.

Madison Square Garden!

The New York Knicks and Pacers will play twice in the regular season this season, and it will also be the last time the two teams will meet in the regular season this season!

On the Knicks' side, they have won four consecutive games in the next four games since losing the last game and losing the first place in the East! Not only swept away the gloom of losing to the Pacers, but also won the first place in the East in one fell swoop, and expanded the number of games to lead!

If they win this game again, then their lead over the Pacers will be even bigger!

With just over 20 days left in the regular season, this advantage will almost be enough to ensure that the Knicks end the regular season as the first in the East!

And for the Pacers, who are at the bottom, they obviously need this victory to boost their morale and low state! They need a strong victory to fight back against the doubts from the outside world!

Especially Lin Tian, he desperately needs to prove himself with the victory in this game, he must prove that he is a qualified leader and a perfect player!

He deserves everything he has gotten before, and he deserves every penny he has taken!

On the evening of April 15, the Pacers landed in New York the night early and stayed at the Hilton Hotel as usual.

Bird didn't rush the players to practice or get them to a meeting on this night, he just forbade everyone to go out of the hotel, forbade everyone to go out for drinks and have fun, and didn't allow any players to bring anyone outside the team into the room.

He is the most stressful person in the Pacers team today except for Lin Tian, and the scolding and doubts that Bird has encountered in the past few days are no less than those that Lin Tian has gained!

Countless people are saying that he is just lucky, and the actual level is not good at all!

Bird, like Lin Tian, desperately needs a victory to declare that he is not a parallel import!

And at this time, of course, Bird didn't dare to let his players go out and mess around, if the name won at night, it would be fine, if he lost?

Hey...... If one person is photographed by the media going out at this time, the entire Pacers team will be pushed to the forefront and will be grabbed by the media in the United States!

The team is not strictly governed, the players cannot be controlled, the freedom is loose, the discipline is too poor, the team is not united, there is no self-motivation, and the team loses its centripetal force without Miller.

These charges will definitely be buckled on the head of every player on the Pacers one after another.

When the time comes, the pressure they will face will definitely be greater than it is now! In case there are a few more mentality that is not good, so the competitive state will slip greatly......

I'm afraid it's not just the Pacers' season that will finish the calf, Bird himself will have to finish!
