Chapter 273: Regular Season Opener! Play the Knicks Awards Ceremony live!

The opponent of the Pacers in the first game, which can be regarded as carefully selected by the league, is their opponent in the first round of the playoffs last season, the Philadelphia 76ers led by Allen Iverson!

This season's 76ers team has not much different player roster than last season, they still have Iverson as the absolute core, and the rest of the players are responsible for defense and rebounding, and Iverson handles the offensive play.

Perhaps the only thing they can expect from their roster this season is the team's rookie last year, Larry Hughes, who had some good appearances in the second half of the season and in the playoffs.

His speed, impact, and talent could well bring some extra surprises to the 76ers!

Indiana fans, who can make multiple consecutive preseason games sold out and in short supply, will certainly not let even a single empty spot appear on the scene when it comes to the official regular season.

Not to mention that tonight's opponent is still very strong, it is the 76ers with Iverson, and the fans will naturally not miss this kind of game, and they came to the court early to send some 'love blessings' to Iverson.

"Aaron! Why don't you go and play hockey? You don't have to bend over that thing, you're talented! ”

"I heard you can still play rugby? What position do you play in rugby? When the ball is thrown around? ”

"Lin, you have to be careful of Aaron when you wait, if this guy jumps, he will hammer your knees!"

"My grandmother's big yellow dog is thick from you! With your little body, don't you really think about taking your mother's milk for another two years? ”

"Go back to kindergarten! That's your home! ”

The boos all over the sky, after the 76ers walked into the arena, did not stop at all, the fans were crazy, venting their frustration that they had not seen the game for half a year, and they released all the passion they had accumulated in the past six months!

Iverson pouted, shook his shoulders, and walked to Lin Tian's side with his signature expression of no one being convinced and no one was happy: "Rob said let me be polite when I meet you, we will be our own people in the future, but your fans are not friendly enough." ”

"No, Aaron, you're wrong." Lin Tian turned his head, deliberately tilted his head and looked for it twice, and then lowered his head and said, "You will soon find out that compared to us, our fans are simply your own grandmother!" They are definitely the friendliest people to you tonight! ”

"As for what Rob said, you just pretend he didn't say it."

"That's what I mean, too." Iverson stretched out his fist and touched Lin Tian and said, "No one can stop me from hating and defeating you." ”

"It's like there's no one who can stop me from thinking I'm the best number one on the planet."

"Maybe." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and Iverson made a complicated greeting gesture, but he didn't give in at all: "But I'm the best player in this universe, as for the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, you can just like it." ”

"Wait for death!"

After Iverson said hello, he swaggered around and left, and Webber also leaned over from behind Lin Tian at this time and said, "This kid seems to be pretty good." ”

"If you feel comfortable being his little brother, he will be the best big brother in the world, but if you don't want to, then he will be a nightmare." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, and together with Webber, turned around and went to warm up.

Just as the players on both sides were warming up, suddenly the big screen above their heads dimmed, and then suddenly lit up again, but this time the picture on the big screen was no longer the introduction of the Pacers players or the highlights of last season's team.

The picture on the big screen has become Madison Garden Plaza!

Looking at the condition of the court, it is obvious that this is the scene of the Knicks' championship flag-raising ceremony and ring awarding ceremony!

It's a big day for the Knicks!

Not only the injured Ewing and the retired Jordan, but many of the biggest names in Knicks history were on the scene: Earl Monroe, Bernard King, Willis Reed......

After all, this is the Knicks' championship celebration almost once in 30 years, and it is indeed worth celebrating.

"Thief! They stole our rings! Big Ben stood next to Lin Tian and muttered angrily.

"It's okay, next, we're going to snatch everyone's rings!" Lin Tian glanced at the big screen and said, "They won't be able to get even a ring anymore!" ”

"I love that!" Webber moved his muscles and said, "Maybe we can change the name, how about the Marauder?" Sounds so much more domineering than the Pacers! ”

"But the earth exploded, I don't want to call it such a bad name!" Lin Tian muttered, at this time, the championship ceremony has been carried out for most of the time, Jordan spoke on behalf of the Knicks, everyone received rings, and the championship flag has been raised to the ceiling.

It was at this time that the big screen dimmed again.

There is no need to read on for the rest of the part.

The staff at home gave the Pacers this just to fuel their fighting spirit and anger.

Let them give the 76ers a good dismount in the first game of the new season, and let them know who the real boss is!

And this move of the home staff is obviously very successful!

And what they inspired, not only the fighting spirit of the Pacers, but also the Pacers fans who were the first to be stimulated and their eyes were red!

They make 10 times more noise than they just did, and they can't wait to shred their opponents! It doesn't matter if this opponent is the Knicks who stole their championship ring, in short, it's going to kill them!

Accompanied by the almost tyrannical roars of the fans, players from both sides stood on the pitch and waited for the game to begin.

For the Pacers, they continued their preseason starting lineup: Big Ben, Webb, Christie, Miller and Lintian!

On the 76ers' side, Trony Hill, who returned from injury, took back his starting spot, and the other four were exactly the same as when the two teams met in the playoffs last season: Ratledge, George, Iverson and Snow!

Although there is a new person in this lineup, their style of play and core thinking are exactly the same as last season.

1 shot, 4 grabs, 1 attack and 4 defense!

Use every effort to create shooting space and shooting opportunities for Iverson, use all methods to plug Iverson's holes on the defensive end, and let Iverson defend people who are not very good at offense as much as possible.

As for the Pacers' lineup, they have already shown unparalleled offensive strength in the preseason, and now it's up to them to bring this offensive system into the regular season!

The referee blew the whistle and the basketball was thrown into the air.

The 206-centimeter-tall Ben really didn't have much of an advantage when he jumped the ball, especially his hairstyle was a bit too exaggerated, Lin Tiandu felt that it was his hair that hindered his speed of raising his arm to touch the ball.

"Smack!"

Hill slapped the ball to Iverson, Iverson immediately got up to speed, rushed through the half court in the blink of an eye under the full sprint, and then after observing the situation a little, he immediately raised his speed to the extreme, and at the same time, Snow and Lynch stood on Iverson's way forward one after the other, giving him two covers in a row!

After Lin Tian collided with someone twice in a row, he finally couldn't keep up with Iverson's speed, and watched this guy go all the way to the basket and score 2 points directly to the basket!

Before Iverson had time to clap his hands to celebrate after the goal, Christie, who was only half a step late, had already picked up the ball and sent it to Webb, who had just run to the 3-point line.

After Webb took the ball, he turned around and dribbled away, without the slightest 'consciousness' of an interior player, and after dribbling two steps, the entire 76ers defense team was a little confused about what Webb was going to do, but the basketball in Webb's hand suddenly flew towards the basket.

"Boom!"

The entire 76ers players only had time to look back, and they couldn't do any other reaction, the distance of this pass was really too long, and the timing of the pass was really too thief!

Hanging on the basket, it was Lin Tian who had just been thrown away by Iverson's two covers, and after he swung twice on the basket, he landed easily, and when he turned back to defense, he didn't forget to give Webb a high-five.

Playing with this guy is indeed comfortable!

Especially when Bird gave Webber enough tactical autonomy and allowed him to do everything in the round of offensive and defensive transitions, which made Webber's influence on the offensive end directly exerted to the extreme!

This lightning attack naturally won the crazy cheers of the fans as encouragement!

That's the walker they're looking at!

The 76ers' offense, Iverson dribbled to the front court and faced Lin Tian, and immediately said in his mouth: "You will only play this way of stealing chickens and dogs, right?" Well? Didn't you come face to face with me? ”

"You can do the same." Lin Tian squirted and broke Iverson's ball, and at the same time, his mouth didn't stop at all: "Let your Ratlif or Hill pass you a few!" Give them the ball, you lone wolf who doesn't pass the ball! ”

"Lao Tzu averaged 7 assists per game last season!" Iverson was on guard against Lin Tian's broken ball, and waved his hand to signal his teammates to come forward to cover.

"Lao Tzu has been the assist king for two seasons! Even if it's your best scorer, do you know how to write the three words "scoring champion"? Lin Tian was hung up by Hill's cover, and seeing Iverson accelerate to break through, he immediately turned around and began to pursue from behind Iverson.

Big Ben in front of Iverson carefully controlled the distance between the two people, and the muscles of his whole body collapsed, looking like he was waiting for the battle, obviously this guy was determined to prevent Iverson's attack.

Iverson broke through all the way, but he didn't dare to stop at all, he knew that Lin Tian behind him had been waiting for an opportunity, as long as he stopped slightly, he would immediately be entangled by Lin Tian behind him again.

But the ugly exploding head in front of him gave Iverson a sense of oppression that he had only in the past when facing interior lines such as Mourning and Mutombo.

Just when Iverson was hesitating whether to challenge Big Ben directly or slow down to find his teammates, Lin Tian had already caught up, and he suddenly attacked from behind Iverson and stabbed Iverson's dribble away.

Daben, who has been working with Lin Tian for two years, has been very tacit for a long time, and he has been prepared for a long time, hugging the basketball that was stabbed, and then quickly giving it to Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he gave Iverson and the 76ers a chance to catch up, increased his speed, and rushed towards the front court!

After a frantic advance like lightning and thunder, the only thing left in front of Lin Tian was Snow for the 76ers.

But Snow didn't even have time to foul Lin Tian, because Lin Tian had already made a pass from behind and gave the ball to the middle.

Then Snow saw a huge black shadow, and Tarzan rushed towards him.

Then Snow felt that his eyes were dark!

A huge force struck, smashing Snow directly into the air, and he fell out of the bottom line in embarrassment.

"Boom!"

After a bang, this time the man who hung his hands on the basket and swayed back and forth became Webb!

The entire Conseco Center was immediately packed with a burst of exclamation.

In this era, 95% of interior players are decent back-to-back singles, eating cakes under the basket, a few elite stars, and high-end things like jumpers and rim breakouts.

As for David Robinson, a monster who has no difference from a small forward in terms of his skills such as changing direction from a high position, turning, and pull-up jump shots, he is unique in the history of the entire league, and there is no second one.

As for Weber, a guy who can really pass and organize, dribble and advance, and quickly participate in fast breaks, it is also difficult for the entire league to find a second one!

His speed, dexterity, fundamentals and vision, as well as awareness, don't really look like an interior player.

Weber's violent dunk completely detonated the entire Conseco Arena, and the fans roared wildly, cheering for Webber and Lin Tian's cooperation, and Lin Tian gave Webb a high-five, and quickly returned to his position to start defending.

Both of them know that the surprise they brought to the fans today has only just begun!

In the next round, Iverson once again looked for the cover of his teammates, and then suddenly accelerated and forcibly rushed past Lin Tian, this time, Iverson's impact was more decisive and resolute, he did not observe his teammates, let alone hesitate, but went forward and rushed to the basket!

Big Ben under the basket had been waiting for a long time, and after calculating the step point of Iverson's impact, Big Ben was like a wolf that pounced on his own food, and pounced on Iverson!

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, Iverson and Big Ben collided heavily in the air, and then Iverson felt a huge force in the air, and the person lost his center of gravity in mid-air in an instant, and his wrist could only barely pick at the basket, trying to put the ball into the basket.

But Big Ben's Djinn Divine Palm had been waiting for a long time, and the slap was extremely accurate on the basketball that Iverson had just shot.

Iverson's fall was really a bit miserable, and the whole person almost fell out horizontally, and slipped on the floor for a long time before stopping.

It's a pity that the Pacers didn't be able to play their own quick counterattack, because maybe Iverson fell a little badly, maybe it was the star whistle possession, in short, the referee's whistle blew, and they gave Ben a blocking foul, and Iverson will go to the free throw line.

The big screen on the scene immediately gave a replay of the round just now, a clean block and perfect defense!

How can the fans at the scene be polite? They don't even need this picture to boo the referee without any scruples!

Anyway, they think that this ball is not fouled!

The referee on the scene was also a veteran of the battlefield, and he turned a deaf ear to the fans' boos, calmly walked to the bottom line, gestured two free throws, and then gave the ball to Iverson.

"How much do you bench press?" Iverson didn't rush the free throws, but looked at Big Ben and asked his own questions.

Although he has only played in the NBA for 3 years, the moment that Big Ben gave him just now really scared him, and before that, a few violent monsters such as Mourning and O'Neal had given him this sense of oppression.

"215 kg!" Big Ben bared out his big white teeth, and his hands were still working together to puff out his muscles, looking fierce and vicious.

"." Iverson scolded, looking incredulous, after all, the NBA's currently known bench press record, that is, Barkley's 205 kilograms, you are a little-known guy who has no memory points except for his hairstyle, and he is 215 kilograms when he opens his mouth?

What about liars!

But Iverson also knows that even if Big Ben brags, there is not much water in it, just now, even if Big Ben doesn't have 200 kilograms, but about 195 kilograms of bench press, it will definitely not be able to run!

Monster!

Iverson glanced at Daben and then at Lin Tian, and there was more or less jealousy in his eyes.

Why don't I have such monster teammates?

Obviously, you Lin Tiandu is so capable of fighting, and you have an inside partner with such terrifying strength, it's a foul!

Thinking about it, jealousy is jealousy, Iverson still made 2 free throws steadily, and did not waste this half of the points.

"Ben, I remember you didn't bench press around 175 last season? That's 215? Webb waited until Iverson and the 76ers players stepped back, and immediately chatted curiously with Big Ben.

"Of course not, I'm not a monster, how can I improve so much in half a year." Big Ben smiled, leaking a smug expression and said: "It's just 200 kilograms, I lied to that short man, Lin often said that I should report a height of 206 cm or even 208 cm, which can scare people." ”

"I think height is the same as strength, the higher the more scary."

"Clever!" Weber gave a thumbs up, but what he thought in his heart was that he must have a good relationship with Big Ben in the future, and never have any conflicts with him!

After all, his own bench press is about 170 kilograms, which is the average level in the inner line.

As for the Big Ben......

Weber felt that it was even more scary for him to report the real data, after all, 215 kilograms was really a bit unbelievable, and it was fake when he heard it.

But 200 kilograms, it's very real! It's really scary!

The Pacers' offense, they finally fell into a positional battle, and Snow immediately pressed up, wanting to press Lin Tian's dribbling, so that he could not run the ball comfortably.

But it's a pity that Lin Tian completely ignored Snow's defense, and left him aside with an easy change of direction dribble, and when Snow wanted to keep up with Lin Tian again, he already felt a dark shadow around him.

Webber had already killed Lin Tian to cover up.

Lin Tian hit the 3-point line in the blink of an eye, and the 76ers' defense line was immediately a gust of wind!

After Lin Tian moved to the free throw line, he suddenly made a one-handed back-to-back pass, which frightened the 76ers players and immediately moved two steps in the direction of Webb, but as soon as they moved, they found that the basketball in Lin Tian's hand was still in his hand!

Pass feints!

Then the 76ers team was stunned for an incomparably synchronized moment, only to find that Webb had started the impact and came to the area below the free throw line, and then the basketball in Lin Tian's hand somehow had come to Webb's hand again!

"Boom!"

Then there was a bang that shook the mountain, and Webb's hands were violently clasped again!

The Pacers played an extremely comfortable two-man combination, and the 76ers' defense was shattered.

Then, Lin Tian suddenly took out a hand and clenched his fist above his head, shouting, "Strength! ”

So, when the 76ers attacked again, everyone found that the Pacers players, who were still on the verge of leaving and were not very close to them, suddenly added the intensity of physical confrontation to them, and they all pressed, looking like the game had reached the moment of shutdown!

As for Lin Tian himself, he was directly entangled with Iverson, and the two of them started the first frontal offensive and defensive duel tonight face to face!

"Come on, Aaron! Let me see what you've been practicing this offseason! There is no progress! Lin Tian and Iverson were entangled together, and at the same time, their mouths began to provoke.

"Come on, come! I thought you didn't have a bullfight with me tonight! Iverson's eyes lit up immediately, and the speed of his hands dribbling suddenly increased again, and at the same time he yelled, "Pull away!" All pull away! ”

That's right, Iverson is going to start the show!

But it's a pity that Lin Tian doesn't want him to show it, and Christie doesn't want him to show it either!

Iverson felt that he had just dribbled twice, and before he could find his rhythm to start attacking, Christie killed from his visual blind spot, and in the blink of an eye, he formed a double bag with Lin Tian on himself!

“FUXX! Lin, aren't you going to fight me alone! Iverson yelled in dissatisfaction.

"I'm going to go head-to-head with you, but Doug wants to go head-to-head with you too! Neither of us could convince anyone. Lin Tian brazenly pressed against Iverson with his chest, and at the same time saw the opportunity to dig it out but failed, so he continued: "So the two of us decided to fight you alone!" ”

"It's shameless!" At this moment, Christie couldn't look at it, how could he be so thick with this Lin's skin?

Christie and Lin Tianke are both the top outside defenders in the league today, and at this time, the two are on one side, which makes Iverson extremely uncomfortable, he can only dribble backwards, wanting to open up a little distance to handle the ball.

But unfortunately, Lin Tian and Christie obviously expected this a long time ago, and immediately stepped forward and pressed, without giving Iverson any space and opportunity.

Iverson saw that he was about to return to the court if he retreated, so he had no choice but to force himself to jump up and pass the ball out.

But he is a barely 180 cm dwarf, and he is so hard to pass to a 191 cm and a 2-meter one?

There are no surprises at all!

Christie used a volleyball block to shoot Iverson's pass directly back into the halfcourt, and Lin Tian ran wildly, grabbed the basketball, and then launched a fast attack again towards the front court.

1 to 0 in the front court, Lin Tian's starting distance this time was much closer than the distance he was used to before, but this time he did not choose the tomahawk he used to after jumping, but rounded his arm and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

One-armed windmill buckle!

This is a new move that Lin Tian practiced after improving his bounce and body coordination, and he didn't dare to jump like this before.

You can't jump so high, and the ball is easy to fly.

But now.

Relaxed!

The fans immediately burst into cheers, although Lin Tian's dunk and the Carter sitting on the bench are still almost meaningful, but it is definitely an extremely wonderful dunk!

"How's Vinnce?" Bird couldn't hold back and asked Carter.

"It's not good, it's not as good as me, I don't need to run to deduct a windmill that is about the same level as this, and I guarantee that I can pick up Billin Yuan!" When it comes to dunking, Carter has never been modest or polite, that is, he directly said that Lao Tzu is the best in the world!

"Who asked you this!" Bird rolled his eyes and said, "I want to ask you, do you think Lin's dunk has improved significantly compared to him last season?" ”

Carter recalled for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "This seems to be Lin's first time buttoning a windmill, and he used to prefer to use gliding and splitting to cover up his general flaws in bouncing height." ”

You dare to say that his bounce height is average, a person who can almost step on the free throw line and dunk, you say he can't bounce?

Bird shook his head and decided not to talk to Carter about dunks anymore, and at the same time, Bird felt that this guy's invisible pretense actually had a shadow of his own.

Usually don't say anything, pretend to be forced, but he is also a good hand!

But Carter's words obviously reminded Bird, and he carefully reviewed the two years he had worked with Lin Tian.

Carter is right, Lin Tian has never used a windmill to dunk.

It's not that this action is difficult, but that this action wants to look good, and if you want to round the windmill wheel, that's really difficult!

If the windmill is not picked well, it is easy to look very obscene, and it will become like a convulsion in the air and shake twice and then put the ball in.

Based on Bird's understanding of Lin Tian, this guy who loves to pretend is definitely not hiding a windmill before, but he is not beautiful at all, so he is not so deducted!

But he just dunked, and Bird was willing to give him a 9!

To sum up, Bird looked at Lin Tian as he continued to pester Iverson, and nodded with great satisfaction.

Although this guy doesn't seem to be doing his job properly in the offseason, it's training camp, it's a variety show, and it's a waste of energy to play low-level games.

But his training really didn't fall behind at all, and he was able to improve so obviously!

It's a prehistoric monster!

In his heart, Bird once again gave Lin Tianxia a definition, the speed and magnitude of this guy's progress are too amazing!

Absolute monsters!

On the court, the Pacers frantically targeted Iverson in the first few minutes, making it impossible for him to go one-on-one and attack, and the non-stop high-post and high-intensity defense made the 76ers' offense completely unplayable.

That's not all, when the Pacers are on offense, their offensive tactics are even more unpredictable, 4 of the team's five people have first-class to top ball handling and passing ability, their cooperation makes the 76ers completely incorrect, from time to time there will be an empty space under the basket, and the 76ers can only watch the Pacers players go to the basket.

5:15!

Four minutes into the first quarter, 76ers coach Larry Brown knew he couldn't do that anymore and called the first timeout of the night.

The Pacers were too aggressive on both ends of the floor, and he had to change his lineup early!

So Brown also rotated personnel during the timeout, and he took out George and Snow, who were not threatening on the offensive end, and brought on the energetic Hughes and the more offensive Aaron McGee.

Although the defensive ability and size of these two are far inferior to George and Snow, but, anyway, George and Snow have to be beaten up, right? It's better to try and see if you can blow each other up.

It was still Iverson who dribbled to the frontcourt, and after the 76ers replaced Hughes and McGee, who were relatively more offensive, the Pacers' defense obviously didn't dare to go so crazy anymore.

This time, Iverson didn't have to face the bag again, he chose to dribble continuously, and then shook a little space and then went straight to the mid-range jumper and hit!

"If you're alone, you can't stop me at all!" After scoring the goal, Iverson was greatly confident, and he sprayed at Lin Tian: "Lin, you are not my opponent, if you dare to one-on-one with me, Lao Tzu can beat you!" ”

"I didn't want to beat you in the back." Lin Tian calmly dribbled to the front court, then turned around, leaned his back against Iverson, and then suddenly exerted his strength, 'Bang, bang!' Two slams in a row hit Iverson.

Even if Iverson has almost the top strength on the outside, but in the face of a huge size gap and congenital disadvantage, he is powerless at all, except for reaching out almost desperately to pull it out, he has no way to deal with Lin Tian's back-to-back singles like playing hooligans.

Twice to open Iverson, Lin Tian turned around and jumped after a dashing one, and easily won 2 points!

"You have to spew trash talk at me, aren't you looking for death?" After Lin Tian scored the goal, he spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, looking like this was all self-inflicted.

In the next first quarter of the game, Iverson was made to lose his temper at all by Lin Tian's nasty expression and unreasonable back-to-back singles.

Iverson is a person like him, if Lin Tian uses Jordan's footwork, rhythm and technique to beat him alone, he will admit it regardless of his back and body!

But Lin Tian hit him, just one move.

Bang bang bang

Just this move, it looks basic, simple and easy to defend.

But because of the height difference of more than 10 centimeters and the weight difference of almost 15 kilograms, Iverson had no way to prevent it, but he was bullied by Lin Tian again and again without temper.

Although after the Pacers became a one-on-one defense, Iverson's offensive space was much better, and he also made a few shots, but his success rate obviously cannot be compared with Lin Tian.

After all, one of the two is a half-empty shot after the opponent is completely arched, and the other has to force a shot against someone.

Lin Tian went down to rest when he played 9 minutes in the first quarter, but he has also contributed 10 points and 3 assists of beautiful statistics, and he went down to rest with Miller, Miller didn't feel very good in the first quarter tonight, he shot 1 of 4 and only scored 3 points.

Replacing both of them were Buckner and Carter.

When Iverson faced Buckner, his offensive efficiency improved significantly, hitting all three of his next three shots in the first quarter.

Fortunately, Carter was also in very good shape tonight, and he scored two goals in a row after he came on the court, so he was not quickly chased back by the 76ers.

20:31!

At the end of the first quarter, even though Iverson scored 15 points, the team was already 11 points behind the Pacers.

And another detail actually says a lot more.

Iverson, the absolute heart of the 76ers, played the entire first quarter.

But on the Pacers' side, Webb played 8 minutes, and Lin Tian and Miller also only played 9 minutes.

The difference in playing time between the main players, coupled with the gap of more than 10 points between the two sides, in fact, the difference in strength between the two teams can be clearly seen from the first quarter of the game!

Then in the second quarter of the game, Iverson did not rest, and continued to partner with McGee and Hughes on the outside on the court, and this time they finally played a small climax, narrowing the gap to 5 points.

Then, the Pacers quickly changed their main lineup!

After Lin Tian and Webb chased after the 76ers' defense, although the difference between the two sides quickly came to more than 10 points again, the difference did not expand further.

The Pacers have played the all-offensive outside combination of Lintian, Carter and Miller during this time, plus Webb and Lewis, two interior players who are also good at offense, it stands to reason that this time period is the time for the Pacers to quickly open up the point difference and start a tidal counterattack.

This time, the Pacers' problem is mainly with Miller!

Between the eight minutes left in the second quarter and Bird's substitution with three minutes left in the first half, Miller had four attempts from beyond the three-point line, two of which were wide open.

But he only grasped 1 of them, and the remaining 3 balls were all iron!

If it weren't for the fact that the rest of the Pacers had a high enough offensive grasp, and the 76ers really didn't have a reliable second offensive point except for Iverson, and Iverson was uncomfortable being targeted by Lin Tian.

Otherwise, then who is ahead now is still two words!

And in the last minutes of the second quarter, when Bird made another substitution, replacing Reggie Miller with Christie, the Pacers' offense was fierce again!

It was also an open 3-point opportunity, just now Miller failed to hit, but Christie did!

And when Christie and Carter each hit a 3-pointer on the left and right, the 76ers' mid-line defense was immediately wide open, Lin Tian's breakthrough was more relaxed, and with Webb on the side, in just 3 minutes, the Pacers played a wave of 11:0 offensive climax!

The difference between the two sides came to more than 20 points in the blink of an eye!

On the bench, Miller, who was also in a bad hand tonight, didn't say a word, pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's okay Reggie, everyone has bad times." Noticing that Miller was a little absent-minded, Bird put his arm on his shoulder and said, "Don't tell me, I've devoted all my energy to calming your mind." ”

"you, I'm fine." Miller pursed his lips and said he was fine, but his eyes were very clear: he was in trouble.

After taking a more than 20-point lead in the first half, the Pacers didn't give the 76ers any room for illusions in the third quarter, and with both sides reverting to their starting lineups, the Pacers came up with a two-man package against Iverson that prevented him from unleashing his firepower.

Then there was a series of dizzying offensive frenzy, Webb's basket singles, Lin Tian's breakthrough shot, Webber's high post dunk for the empty cut Christie......

And one of the best rounds of the game tonight!

Webb got the basketball outside the 3-point line at the top of the arc, and a back-to-back shot smashed the ball directly into the inside from outside the 3-point line.

Christie, who is also having fun, is also a behind-the-back pass, and the basketball is being given to Big Ben under the basket.

At this moment, there was nothing in front of Big Ben except the basket, and the entire 76ers defense was stunned by these three consecutive back-to-back passes to Xiu.

"Boom!"

After a bang, Big Ben dunked with both hands to get his first 2 points of the night, and also gave the Pacers the lead tonight to 30 points for the first time!

Then, in the dead-ball phase after a round, Bird quickly made a quick change to his starting line-up, a five-up, five-down, and a five-on-five to bring Davis, Harrington, Mullin, Carter and Buckner into the game.

After these five people played for a few more minutes, Bird simply replaced Davis and Carter, and then replaced two role players, and officially announced that tonight's game went into garbage time!

In the end, the score of the whole game was fixed at 99:119!

The 76ers relied on their courage to fight in the fourth quarter to recover some points and keep themselves from losing too ugly.

On this night, the Pacers announced their strong comeback with an easy big win!
