In the third game of the series, the two sides kicked off the third game of the series at the American Airlines Center in Miami.

In this game, the Pacers will only have eight players on the court, and there are three players who are almost completely unavailable and incapacitated.

So at the end of the day, in this game, the Pacers actually only have 5 people who can play!

At the beginning of the game, the Pacers still showed their morale and spirit of not admitting defeat, and they led the Heat by 5 points at the end of the first quarter!

But in the second quarter, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse!

In the first quarter, Bird only let Bonhamnon play for 3 minutes, and in the second quarter, Bird knew that he had to let the main players rest for a longer time, so he let Bonhamnon and Lewis both play at the same time!

If there is only one, it will not be too miserable in this era of not paying attention to misalignment and covering up alone, but when there are two players who can't match the intensity on the court, the Pacers' problems on both offensive and defensive ends will immediately be impossible to hide.

The Heat began to attack these two men by all means, and it worked outstandingly!

Mashburn and substitute Marley were a big hit at this stage, combining to score 11 points in less than 3 minutes! Leading the Heat is to overtake the score in one fell swoop!

Bird hurriedly called a timeout, made a substitution, and replaced the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes at the same time.

But the Pacers' spirit seemed to be interrupted by this wave of climax of the Heat, and they were in the position of chasers for the entire second quarter, although the difference was only a few points, but they were never able to catch up, and they were never able to reverse the momentum!

The lag lasted until the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, and at this time, Lin Tian broke out again! He shot inside and outside in 3 minutes, and scored 14 points in a row! led the team to play a wave of 14:5 offensive climax!

After this wave of climax, not only did the Pacers overtake the score again, but Lin Tian also hit Hardaway again to 4 fouls!

Poor Hardaway, in the first half today, he still didn't score 1 point on 0-of-4 shooting!

Hardaway's confidence is about to be completely shattered.

51：47！

At the end of the first half, the Pacers were still leading by four points!

In the third quarter of the game, the Pacers made persistent efforts, and they played an offensive climax again at the beginning, Lin Tian, Christie and Hojberg each hit a 3-pointer, plus Davis also hit a basket to make a layup, the Pacers once again played an 11:5 offensive climax.

Their lead reached 10 points!

62：52！

The Pacers, for the first time tonight, extended their lead to double digits!

But the Pacers fans didn't have to be happy for long, and after the third quarter, the situation took a turn for the worse!

The Heat team played steadily, taking the ball one by one, slowly narrowing the point difference, while the Pacers suddenly lost power after this!

Fatigue suddenly swept over the team, and all players, including Lin Tian, shot only 3 of 14 shots in the game after the third quarter!

They scored just another 8 points in the rest of the third quarter!

The Heat, on the other hand, scored 19 points!

At the end of the third quarter, the Heat successfully overtook the score!

And in the fourth quarter, this situation was even more obvious, and the Pacers players gave the illusion of faltering, and each of them had lead on their legs, and they couldn't take a step at all!

The Pacers couldn't keep up with the Heat's players on either the offensive or defensive end, especially on the defensive end, and the Pacers started making mistakes.

They can't keep up with their opponents' movements, they always leak after pick-and-rolls and off-ball screens, and they start to communicate less when defending, which leads to more leaks and defensive mistakes!

This is the problem of declining physical strength, loss of concentration and inability to concentrate.

To put it simply, the five members of the Pacers are starting to overdraw!

Three minutes before the fourth quarter, the Heat went on another 9-2 offensive surge as they began to pull the score away.

Bird called two timeouts in a row, hoping that the players could take a break and find a feeling, but to no avail!

The physical strength that has been completely depleted is obviously not able to recover quickly with one or two pauses.

The Pacers, both mentally and physically, have an overdraft problem.

For this situation, Bird also made a quick decision!

Don't fight, withdraw the troops!

He replaced Lin Tian, Christie and Perkins almost immediately, so that the team was the most consumed, and the three people who needed the most rest had a good rest first.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one on the bench and Bird couldn't go up and down 5, then he would definitely take Davis and Hoiberg down and let the two of them have a good rest!

With 5 minutes left in the game, Bird asked Lin Tian and Christie to go up again, took Davis and Hojberg down to rest, and then after another two minutes, let Perkins and Hojberg go up to replace Lin Tian and Christie.

It's the only way Bird can come up with a rotation that rests reasonably and gives the players as much rest as possible.

With Bird's plan of constantly changing people and allocating rest, the Pacers were naturally pulled away by the Heat early, and they only scored a total of 13 points in the fourth quarter, and the game lost suspense early!

83：103！

When the full-time whistle blew, the Pacers lost by 20 points and lost Game 3 of the series!

The Heat tied the series to 1:2!

In this game, Lin Tian played 41 minutes and scored 39 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals, Christie played 41 minutes and scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Hojberg played 44 minutes and scored 8 points, Davis played 43 minutes and scored 7 points and 14 rebounds, and Perkins played 41 minutes and scored 7 points and rebounds.

The remaining three got a total of 9 points!

On the Heat's side, Mourning once again played a dominant performance: 39 points, 18 rebounds and 7 blocks! He single-handedly turned the entire defense of the Pacers upside down, plus Mashburn with 19 points and 7 rebounds and Leonard with 14 points, 3 of the Heat's starters scored double-doubles!

Of the two people who didn't play a double-double, Brown has always been a defensive blue-collar player, and he got 6 points and 6 rebounds, as for Hardaway......

He still failed to score, and hung up in 3 games in a row!

And this one, it's not because Lin Tian is too good at his defense, Lin Tian has no strength to target Hardaway, it's because Hardaway himself feels bad and it is difficult to escape from the nightmare of constantly hitting iron, he shot 0 in the whole game!

But the good news is that he only made two mistakes in total tonight, at least crawling out of the abyss of constant mistakes.

Riley even praised Hardaway by name after the game, hoping to help him regain his confidence and hope that he can play at the level he deserves.

The Pacers' fiasco in this game has sobered up many people who originally had high hopes for them and even shouted for a sweep, and the current situation of the Pacers is no longer enough to support with mental attributes.

There are too few people who can play and even fewer who can play a positive role in the game! Too much playing time and a lack of rest made it difficult for them to play the same momentum in the second game!

More and more people are starting to look down on the Pacers, and they all think that it is already a great thing that the Pacers can play a game like that in the second game and suppress the Heat in more than half of the third game, but the great is great, and they are almost the end of it!

And no matter what the outside world hears, and no matter whether the outside praising or scolding the Pacers, in the next fourth game, Bird came up with the determination and decisiveness that a top coach should have!

He changed the starting lineup, and it was three people at once!

Pope, Lewis and Bonhamnon were all taken by Bird, while Perkins, Christie and Hojberg were benched.

And long before the start of this game, Bird had already said hello to the rookie trio.

"In this game, I don't care how many points you lose, I don't care how you play, your task is to play openly and show your heart's content! You're going to get a lot of playing time! If you play well, next season, you'll get more time to integrate into the team from the regular season! ”

Therefore, these three people are surprised and excited about their first game, and there are 3 points of nervousness in panic!

But what the three of them didn't expect was that although they knew that they were going to appear for a long time, they didn't expect that they would fight for so long!

In this game, all three guys played the full 48 minutes!

Bird didn't think about letting the three of them go down before the game started, he wanted to rest on behalf of the game, so that his main players could rest as much as possible in this game and paddle as much as possible!

With all three of them playing for 48 minutes, none of the remaining five played more than 23 minutes!

Everyone's playing time was cut into pieces by Bird, and he wanted to rest his five starters as much as possible!

In this case, of course, there can be no suspense in the game, and after a heavy loss of 20 points in the previous game, the Pacers lost by 31 points again in this game!

70：101！

From the very beginning of the game, they didn't show any intention of resisting!

In the whole game, among the three people who played 48 minutes, Lewis scored 14 points and 3 rebounds, Pope scored 7 points and 7 rebounds, and Berhannon scored 9 points and 2 assists.

For the rest of the players, Lin Tian scored 20 points and 9 assists, Christie scored 10 points, Hojberg scored 4 points, and Davis and Perkins each scored 3 points!

On the Heat's side, Mourning only played the first three quarters of the game, but he showed dominance: 30 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks! Mashburn and Leonard teamed up for 26 points!

What the whole Heat team is most happy for their fans is the resurgence of Hardaway!

In this game, he finally regained the feeling of a top guard, shooting 11 of 17 and scoring a double-double of 25 points and 11 assists, which was also the first time in the series, surpassing Lin Tian in terms of data!

Although more than 80% of his points were scored against Bonhamnon, the important thing is obviously not how many points he can score against Lin Tian, but how many points he can score!

The first three consecutive hanging eggs made the entire Miami people worried about his state!

But now, the Miami is relieved that Hardaway's state is back.

Heat fans are sincerely looking forward to Hardaway's state being carried over to the next battle of Tianwang Mountain!

After the game, the Pacers didn't stop in Miami, and Bird led the team to an overnight plane to get the players back to Indiana.

With only one day off in games four and five, Bird would rather stay up late tonight than let them experience another stretch of travel the next day.

And, when the team landed at the airport in Indiana, Bird told everyone on the team to rest tomorrow, don't worry about anything, don't gather, all training is canceled, and the day after tomorrow afternoon, just go to the stadium to gather!

Bird's operation can be regarded as getting more than 40 hours of continuous rest for the players at once, if you add the day of rest after the third game, and the fact that the team did not consume much in this game tonight, such a long time is almost enough for the main players to recover their physical fitness!

From the strategic abandonment of the fourth game to the first time to return to Indiana for the first time to buy time for the players to rest, Bird this time, he is definitely a master of time management, what a coach can do, what he should do, Bird has done his best, and next, it depends on whether the players can recover their form and physical fitness to defeat the Heat!

After a day of rest, at City Square Arena, the Pacers' starting five Tigers walked on the court together again after a game!

Although they are already the five Tigers after castration, these five people are definitely the last hope of the Pacers this season!

In the last game, Lewis and the other three used a whole game to show that the three of them, at least at this stage, are indeed embarrassing!

It's no wonder, after all, Bonhamnon and Pope are the best of the best, and if they follow the original trajectory, they have never played 48 minutes in their entire careers combined, and Lewis has a bright future ahead of him and has the potential to become the league's top scorer.

But now Lewis, after all, has just graduated from high school, and he will need at least two years to adapt to NBA-level games!

Therefore, after the failure of the investigation in the last game, if the Pacers want to win this game, they basically have to have at least 3 starters to play the whole game!

"Get started! From the first minute of the game, we played with our style and rhythm! me with the Heat from the start! Fight to the death! Let me hold them in the water, and don't let them take the lead, and don't give them any chance! ”

Bird took out a very strict and surging tone to make the final arrangements for the players before the start of the game, and his battle plan was actually very simple: seize the start, play the transition, and open the score in one fell swoop while the physical strength is sufficient to run, and not give the Heat any chance!

The trend of the game is basically the same as what Bird predicted!

At the beginning of the match, Lin Tian showed full aggression and murderous spirit, he attacked Hardaway in three consecutive rounds at the beginning, and won all three times in a row!

Once was to rush directly to the basket and shake Hardaway to play 2+1 with a time difference, once was to force it up outside the three-point line, and hit Hardaway's defense directly with 3 points, and the other was to shake Hardaway in the middle distance, and then paste it up again to cause his foul and get 2 free throws!

In less than two minutes of the opening game, Hardaway was fouled by Lin Tian twice in a row and beat him alive!

Hardaway, who was sitting on the bench, his eyes glazed and his face pale, he didn't even understand what he had just done, how he had been beaten down like this.

He couldn't accept that he would be blown up so badly by Lin Tian! The little confidence that was just accumulated in the last game has disappeared again!

Also unacceptable, there is Riley.

Riley also doesn't understand that even if Hardaway is not as good as Lin Tian, he is not a top star at the MVP level, but he is also a first-class guard in the league, how can he be blown up so miserably, 3 games are hung up, and one game is played in less than 2 minutes before being directly killed.

This Lin Tian is outrageously strong!

It is impossible to prevent him alone!

Riley pulled past Marley, who was about to play, and quickly laid out the next tactics in his ear.

Then he patted Marley on the shoulder and motioned for him to play!

Lin Tian on the court easily hit 2 free throws, and after beating Hardaway down, the morale of the entire Pacers team was also high, and even Perkins successfully pressed down a single from Mourning, and the Pacers immediately started a full-line counterattack!

But at the moment when Lin Tian took the ball, he suddenly found that there were two people standing directly in front of him!

Marley and Mashburn!

It's not the kind of hesitant and hesitant before, half a double without a clip, but a high-strength double bag that really goes straight to the high-strength double bag!

Moreover, it starts from the back!

In the face of this kind of bag defense, Lin Tian did not rush to attack, but quickly distributed the ball to Christie and asked him to advance.

What surprised Lin Tian was that after he had already distributed the ball, Marley and Mashburn were still following him, and they didn't mean to turn around to defend others at all, so they followed Lin Tian like this!

"Oh God! It seems that Riley was really beaten to despair by Lin Tian! Barkley exclaimed after seeing this defense: "He directly asked the two of them to ignore anything else, just follow Lin all the way?" ”

"Perhaps, this is the only way to limit the forest at the moment!" Kenny followed, "I remember last year's BOX1 from the Jazz!" I thought it was the ultimate defense against Lin! I didn't expect to go one step further this year! ”

Barkley said: "Yes, an enhanced version of BOX, a direct cut Lin and his teammates completely, I'd rather let Lin's teammates go 4 to 3, than let Lin catch the ball, don't let Lin attack!" It can only be said that the Heat and Riley are really desperate! Let's see if Riley's tactics can change the current situation! ”

On the court, Lin Tian has been completely cut into two parts by Riley's tactics!

The two of them were almost completely hung on Lin Tian's body, and as for the rest of the Pacers, they didn't care about it and let it go completely!

Lin Tian knows very well that the reason why the Heat team dares to defend like this is because the Pacers are not enough firepower now! Aside from himself and Christie, the rest of the people didn't have any reason for their too consistent scoring methods and abilities!

If there are two of the four guys Carter, Schmitz, Miller and Mullin, the Heat will never dare to defend themselves like this!

But now, they just have no fear! They just don't believe that Davis, Perkins and Hoiberg can kill them!

In addition, coupled with the fact that the Heat team still has Mourning, a giant and the best defensive player, it is difficult for the rest of the Pacers to pose any threat to the Heat's restricted area, and their impact will most likely be seriously interfered with by Mourning's basket protection!

To put it simply, the Heat gave the vacant spot to the Pacers, whether you can shoot it or not, whether you can grasp it, it depends on whether you are hard enough!

The Heat's extremely extreme defensive strategy made Bird frown, because he really hit the key point of the Pacers today!

Insufficient personnel, insufficient offensive firepower, and insufficient defensive capabilities.

Well, today's Pacers, except for Lin Tian, are actually not good in all aspects!

But in the face of the Heat's 'Yang Scheme' that directly sends the flaws in front of your eyes, Bird really doesn't have a good way.

What could he do?

He really didn't have anything to do but pray that the other three of the Pacers would shoot in the open spot.

If you can't shoot in the open position, there's really nothing you can do.

And then......

I really can't vote!

The rest of the Pacers, except for Christie, who has some ability to take the initiative to attack with the ball, the rest of the three are really pure pie-eating players, and Davis and Perkins on the inside are almost no offensive ability!

They are almost lethal and threatening to the Heat's interior line!

So, it's 4 to 3, but in fact, with Mourning guarding the interior and barely leaving the 3-second zone, Brown, the Heat's power forward, can sweep around to help defend and target Hojberg and Christie.

And the inside line of Mo Ning alone against Perkins and Davis, that is not false at all! There is really no problem with a 38-year-old veteran and a pure blue-collar player in the league!

After three minutes in a row, the Pacers entered an extremely embarrassing scoring drought.

Every time they make a shot, it's actually an empty or semi-empty position, and there's no big problem with every shot they choose, and it's the coaches in the league who dream of making a shot!

But they just couldn't hit!

Whether it's Christie or Hojborg, or Perkins and Davis, they just can't put the ball in the hoop!

And after a few consecutive hits in the beginning, the Pacers players were also a little up, and they were no longer confident in their shots, so immediately after, they began to make more wrong choices!

Hit the basket!

Hojberg and Christie rushed to the basket with the ball in succession, trying to challenge Mourning's defense.

In terms of their impact and ability, there is really no difference between an egg and a stone in such a hard confrontation with Mo Ning!

Mo Ning was also not polite to them, 'pop, snap' twice, and sent two wonderful blood caps to help the Heat team launch a fast attack counterattack!

By the halfway point of the first quarter, the Pacers still scored only 8 points! And the Heat team has already scored consecutive points on inside and outside shots, plus the fast break after two blood caps, they have scored 14 points!

Bird wanted to catch the start, but he was caught off guard by Riley's sudden change of formation, but was hit by the Heat team and took the initiative!

Although Bird quickly called a timeout, he really had nothing to arrange, and there was nothing to adjust, after all, there were so many people on the team!

If Mullin, Carter, or Miller are in ......

Bird shook his head and let out a long breath.

If they were, the Heat wouldn't have dared to defend like that!

Bird, who has no room for adjustment, has no other way than to keep the players confident, stay aggressive, shoot boldly when there is space, and don't blindly attack the basket.

If I had to say a way......

Bird glanced at Lin Tian, the only way to adjust was to let this guy forcibly fight two.

That's not the way to do it.

Bird sighed again, and pushed back to his heart the idea that was not very reliable at first hearing.

Don't let the players shoot in the empty position, but let the star players go to one or two or even one or three, this choice, no matter how you think about it, is not correct, even if Bird himself is a top star in the league, but he also thinks that it is too much to let the players play two or three on the court!

Check it out! Take a look again!

After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court, and although the Heat now have Hardaway less, their confidence is significantly stronger! Riley's setup worked wonders, and the Heat's players naturally became even more demoralized and continued to implement Riley's tactics.

After the timeout, the Pacers' first offense still didn't work! Christie got a huge amount of space outside the 3-point line, but this guy aimed and shot, but still couldn't hit! He's clearly back in the worst form of last year's playoffs where he didn't hit a single three-pointer in an entire series!

Mourning was a pillar of optimism under the basket, he stretched out his elbows, pushed Perkins and Davis away, then took the rebound, and then went straight to Mashburn with a long pass.

After Mashburn got the ball, he attacked all the way, and then took advantage of the situation to collect the ball and start, and he had to come with a brutal blood dunk to boost the morale of the team!

But as soon as he jumped up, he felt a huge force suddenly come from his hand, and then the basketball in his hand disappeared!

Although the basketball is gone, the inertia of the jump still makes Mashburn still rise some distance, which looks particularly funny.

However, Lin Tian was not in the mood to enjoy the burlesque show of Marshburn, he broke the ball and then started quickly, rushing towards the frontcourt!

Along the way, Lin Tian did not stop or slow down at all, but directly raised his speed to the highest, and rushed towards the basket of the Heat team without stopping!

"Come on, Lin! One more time! Let's see who's the loser! "Mourning opened his arms and roared under the basket! Since being deducted by Lin Tian in the first two games, this guy has been holding back his strength, wanting to get Lin Tian back for himself.

Thinking about Lin Tian, it's obviously not so easy!

"Bang!"

In mid-air, the two had a violent collision, and then Lin Tian couldn't completely push off Mo Ning, but he won a space for himself to shoot, he pulled the ball to the far end of the left side with his left hand, and lifted it one by one, just avoiding Mo Ning's block, and then with a flick of his wrist, he cleverly sent the ball into the basket!

"Cheer up! Don't slack off! After scoring the goal, Lin Tian quickly stood up after stumbling on the floor, and while quickly returning to the defense, he commanded his teammates and said: "Stay confident!" Vote when it's time to vote! Don't be afraid! ”

"It's okay if you can't vote! But defend! Now, defend me! The intensity of the defense, all for me to mention! ”

Lin Tian's shout finally made the Pacers players take that breath, they raised their defensive intensity again, and successfully prevented the Heat's offense!

Lin Tian started from the backcourt, and he was very decisive and tough to reach out for the ball! The moment he got the ball, Mashburn and Marley immediately rushed towards him!

In the face of the double bag, Lin Tian constantly changed the rhythm and method of dribbling, and kept moving forward quickly!

Although he was caught by a double bag, Lin Tian did not have the slightest nervousness and embarrassment, he calmly advanced, constantly looking for opportunities, and because of the fear of his speed and ability, Mashburn and Marley did not have any idea of stepping forward at all except for constantly retreating.

Riley was about to jump to his feet in anger, he spread his hands and said, "Push up!" Push it on! What are you doing! There are two of you! Why should you be afraid! Oppress! Oppressive force! Press it on me! ”

Riley's roar still worked, Mashburn and Marley glanced at each other, and then quickly moved forward, wanting to give Lin Tian some strength!

But Lin Tian's speed was really too fast, just at the moment when the two of them were about to complete the encirclement, Lin Tian suddenly changed direction and dribbled, and the whole person turned into a yellow lightning bolt in the blink of an eye, first a displacement to the left made a gap between the two, and then Lin Tian dribbled to the right, interspersed between the two!

The double bag of the Heat team was broken by Lin Tian almost in the blink of an eye!

Then he charged at full speed again, killing Monin!

However, this time, in the face of Mo Ning's fierce and more fierce defense, Lin Tian did not force the challenge again, but suddenly stopped outside the 3-second zone, and then raised his hand to throw, the basketball crossed Mo Ning's fingers, and after drawing a super high arc, it fell into the basket!

"Huh!"

This crisp sound resounded in the hearts of almost every Pacers fan!

Is there a better leader or hero than this?

Is there a greater player than Lin Tian?

In the hearts of every Pacers fan, there is an unparalleled pride and confidence in the heart!

The boss of our team is so strong!

What about full-court packing, 2-on-1 or even 3-on-1?

Hasn't it been directly penetrated by our forest?

Our Lin is the strongest in the alliance!

"Defend! Everyone, defend! We can win the game! After Lin Tian scored, he quickly returned to the defense again, and at the same time slapped his hands heavily, and roared: "If you can't shoot the ball, I'll shoot it!" If you can't beat the attack, I'll fight! ”

"If you can't catch the rebounds, I'll catch them! But defense requires us to work together! ”

Lin Tian's roar once again raised the morale of the entire team, and the Pacers' defense hardened again!

Their defensive intensity has also increased significantly!

Oh, yes! Lin was right! We can't handle it on the offensive end, so leave it to Lin!

What we have to do is help him withstand the opponent's attack on the offensive end!

Let's go!

This is it!

In the next game, the Pacers players showed unparalleled defensive enthusiasm, and they gave everything they had to defend the Heat's offense, block the Heat's impact, and block their shots.

As for Lin Tian, he was on the offensive end, one against two, one against three, and then tried every means to put the basketball into the basket!

With the efforts of Lin Tian and everyone on the Pacers, the offensive efficiency of the Heat team has declined significantly! Whether it's Mourning and Brown who dominate on the inside, or Mashburn and Leonard on the outside, it's hard for them to get easy shots and score the ball!

Every time they make a shot, they have to shoot against the Pacers players who are not afraid of death, and their movements will always be a little deformed!

Perkins played the ferocity of his peak, and Davis repeatedly put his head on Mourning's elbow to lure Mourning to elbow his own head so that Mourning could get a technical foul.

In the first four games of the series, Marshburn, who had the upper hand in the face of Christie, felt Christie's toughness, and he suddenly found that the tried and tested back beating and power suppression in the previous games had disappeared! He couldn't even resist Christie!

And in the entire Pacers, the most ferocious and ruthless person is undoubtedly Hojberg, a guy who was inconspicuous in the past.

Hojberg knew he wasn't capable enough, he knew he was the worst and worst of the Pacers' five-man group right now, and he knew he was dragging the team back.

So he put 120% of his energy into the defense, he moved fast, appeared in every corner of the court, he not only forced Leonard to hardly find any opportunities to attack and receive the ball, but also always quickly filled the gaps when his teammates were out of position.

He actually became the fiercest and hardest lock on the outside of the Pacers!

After successfully reducing the Heat's offensive efficiency and making it difficult for them on the offensive end, the Pacers didn't pull the score.

Because the offensive efficiency on their side is actually not very high!

The Pacers' players weren't in a good offensive state and feel tonight, they just couldn't shoot those damn shots! Whether it's an open position or a strong shot, whether it's a 3-point or a mid-range, in short, they just can't put the ball in the hoop!

And although Lin Tian is constantly attacking, he can always score points, but every time he faces, he faces the defense of at least two Heat players!

Every time he starts from the backcourt, he has to face the entanglement and harassment of at least two Heat players!

The Heat couldn't score, and they put a lot of their energy into defense!

This style of play not only makes Lin Tian's physical strength consume very quickly, but also makes it very difficult for him to make every shot!

At all times, he has to give it his all and all his energy to maintain his already not too high scoring efficiency.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Tian hardly had any rest time, he had to give everything at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and his hit rate was even worse.

In the first quarter of the game, because of the efficient scoring of both sides at the beginning, the two sides were able to play a 24:24!

But in the second quarter, the offensive rhythm and efficiency of the two sides began to decline rapidly, and the two sides combined for less than 30 points in this quarter!

38：39！

The Pacers had a one-point lead at the end of the first half.

This inefficient and difficult attack, this kind of exhausting and almost torturous game for both sides, this confrontation that is no different from war, obviously does not end with halftime.

Intermission, just the calm before the storm!

When the break is over, both sides will continue to give everything they can, and they will take out everything they can to completely knock down and defeat their opponents!

"Bring your strength up a little more! We have the advantage of physical strength! We have the advantage of personnel! Our advantages are great! We can prevent them! They're just a forest and four scumbags! In the second half, let me continue to strengthen the defense of Lin! ”

At halftime, Riley was foaming at the mouth and speaking fast, he shouted and yelled loudly, trying to squeeze out some of the players' fighting spirit and energy, and he hoped that the players would raise their intensity again!

"If 2 people can't do it, it's 3 people, and if 3 people can't do it, it's just 4 people! How can you make Lin so crazy and keep scoring? Don't you blush? Don't you have any shame for each of you? ”

"Harden up! Everybody stiffen me up! Thoroughly hardened! Give me all the milk you have! ”

"In the second half, hold Lin down for me! As long as you guard against him, the rest of the Pacers will be just a mess of scum! Just guard him and we'll win! I don't want to go back to Indiana for this series! I want this series to end in Miami! Got it! ”

"Understood!"

On the Pacers' side, Bird did a similar thing, he was also crazy about boosting the team's morale, and at the same time asked the masseurs to hurry up and massage the Pacers players.

He's going to get his players back as much as possible so they can be more fit in the second half.

Although the Pacers temporarily led by 1 point, Bird did not relax at all, and even he had a headache.

Because the trend of this game is so similar to the third game! Bird felt that if one person had a problem and one person was in a hurry, they could repeat the mistake of Game 3.

I was stunned by a wave of physical strength and well-staffed Heat!

In the first half of the game, Bird laid out something that the team didn't play at all! What he wants is to get the whole team running, drag down the Heat, and take as much lead as possible in the first half.

But in reality, the team didn't run, didn't get too much lead, and the rhythm of the game was almost all in the hands of the Heat.

The two sides fought the mud battles and hand-to-hand combat that the Pacers team should not play right now, and they fought for their bodies and strength every round.

But for all this, Bird can't do anything!

What could he do? He can't go out there and shoot that damn open spot for his players!

There's space, but there's no way to get in, and even if Dr. Nai Smith comes, there's nothing he can do about it!
