Chapter 307: Shock on the spot! Lin Tian sent the craziest buckle in history!
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and walked to the back of the free throw line, his confident appearance made Malone tremble a little.
And then?
"Boom!"
With a muffled bang, the free-throw shooter, who had a free-throw shooting rate of around 77% for most of his career, failed to hit this crucial free throw!
This muffled sound is tantamount to a death knell in the hearts of Heat fans!
This goal is missed, and their chances of winning tonight have dropped by more than half in one fell swoop!
In the final 1-minute getaway, the difference between 3 and 4 points looks like only one point, but for the form of both sides on the pitch, it is definitely a world of difference!
3 points, one round can catch up, and 4 points, it takes 2 rounds!
Because of this free throw miss, the Heat retreated to the edge of the cliff again, and one of their feet had fallen off the cliff.
Their last chance is the next touchline ball!
Ma Long, who had just missed the ball, came to the sideline to serve, and the other four were scattered, ready to find an opportunity to catch the ball.
The Pacers didn't defend too fiercely against the Heat's sideline balls, because they knew that now was not the time to gamble and block the opponent's throw-ins, and now was the most important thing for the Pacers!
In order to be safe, Payton followed Riley's instructions just now, and retreated all the way to his own half, and then reached out to ask for the ball!
The Heat were not in a hurry to push forward and score, they opted for a return pass and started the offense from the backcourt more safely.
Then there is a series of passing balls, and the Heat are hoping to pass the ball to the inside for Mourning to play a game at this time.
But at this time in the game, Big Ben no longer cares about the fact that he has 5 fouls, he is playing with Morning confrontation and hand-to-hand combat, and keeps pushing Morning outside the 3-second zone, making it difficult for Moring to stand firm at all, and after waiting for a few seconds, the Heat team immediately changed their tactics and stopped beating Moning!
The basketball was back in Peyton's hand again, and then he waved for Malone to step forward and block it!
The blocking and dismantling cooperation that Utah Shuangsha was best at back then reappeared on the court again!
Ma Long's cover has always been fierce and ruthless, and a pair of big elbows were undisguised and slammed directly towards Lin Tian's head.
Lin Tian didn't have a hard time with him, bent down and retreated, bypassed the cover, and was about to pounce on Payton.
Payton, on the other hand, thought that he had attracted the defense of Webb and Lin Tian, and suddenly made a one-handed pass to the ball and wanted to give the ball to Malone!
But Lin Tian had long felt that it was impossible for Payton to play this ball by himself! He will definitely choose the more stable Marlon!
So he's been keeping an eye on Payton's passing lines!
At the moment when Payton made a pass, Lin Tian suddenly turned around and stepped forward, stuck in front of Ma Long, and then hugged the basketball!
"Pretty Gary!"
Lin Tian roared, and then dribbled towards the front court and launched a counterattack!
This time, Lin Tian didn't stabilize and wait for his teammates, let alone settle down to kill time by fighting a positional battle like he did most of tonight.
This time, Lin Tian wants to rush one!
Peyton, who was stealed, began to move quickly, blocking in front of Lin Tian, trying to suppress Lin Tian's counterattack, but he held back for almost the whole game, and Lin Tian, who had almost not accelerated the counterattack at all, could Peyton be able to hold it alone?
Lin Tian is constantly switching dribbles in the process of dribbling, constantly changing directions between the lines to deceive Payton's center of gravity!
Then, when Lin Tian went all the way to the Heat's 3-point line, he suddenly pulled the basketball to the right side with a large change of direction, and pulled back again at the moment when Payton came up to defend, and the basketball returned from the crotch to the left hand, and then suddenly raised the center of gravity, and the ball holder made a gesture to flip up, as if he wanted to collect the ball and shoot.
When Peyton reluctantly pressed up again, trying to prevent Lin Tian from shooting, Lin Tian had already lowered his center of gravity again, and at the same time slapped the ball on the floor, flashing past Peyton's side!
An almost perfect rhythm of retreat, start and stop, worship the Buddha!
When Lin Tian flashed past Peyton, Peyton also lost his center of gravity completely because of the continuous change of center of gravity and constant start and stop!
If he gave up defending Lin Tian at this time, then it would be easy to say anything, that is, he would just be overcome, but at this time, Payton still wanted to catch up with Lin Tian!
But at this time, all he could catch up with Lin Tian with his whole body was his brain and eyes!
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, Peyton, who was unwilling to give up, sat on the floor in embarrassment, and he was shaken down by Lin Tian!
And Lin Tian didn't even look at Peyton sitting on the floor, and rushed towards the basket!
Under the basket of the Heat, only Bowen was standing alone under the basket at this time, this guy was not afraid at this time, he looked at Lin Tian, calculated the timing and angle of Lin Tian's jump, and then jumped up!
"Be careful, Lin!" Barkley couldn't help but shout, because in an instant, he saw Bowen's outstretched hand of sin.
Looking at this guy's posture, he is not trying to defend at all, he is trying to overturn Lin Tian!
"Bang!"
After another muffled sound, Lin Tian and Bowen collided heavily in the air!
A full-speed charge, with speed and strength added to the extreme, how terrible would it be to go all out to kill Lin Tian under the basket?
Mourning, Malone, Kemp, Ewing, Robinson......
These league's top insiders can tell Bowen: There is not much difference between being hit by Lin Tian who was impacting at full speed and being hit by an adult African elephant!
These top-notch inner lines with top strength and ability can't withstand Lin Tian's impact, let alone a Bowen whose weight is not as good as Lin Tian's?
The two of them were separated with a touch in the air, Lin Tian was not affected at all, he was still in the same position as before, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
A strapper that is so fierce that it makes people gasp!
At this moment, Lin Tian once again became the focus of the basketball world!
The whole Indiana, and all the Lintian fans, are crazy about this goal!
It's brutal! It's scary!
When Lin Tian enjoyed the cheers and the spotlight, Bowen didn't have such a good treatment.
This guy was hit by Lin Tian in the air and fell out directly, and when he landed, he couldn't control his body at all, he landed on his back first, and then after landing, this guy still couldn't control his body at all, and his head slammed on the floor!
The "bang" sound is very scary!
The group of photographers sitting on the sidelines all heard Bowen's voice, and many of them were frightened and wide-eyed as they watched Bowen lying on the floor.
This group of photographers was really frightened, not only because of the loud noise, but also because Bowen was lying motionless on the floor at this moment!
This guy is most likely unconscious!
"Oh God! Did I hear Bowen's head on the floor? Kenny was also incredulous: "Isn't that a scary sound?" He's been lying on the ground, motionless, and I think the referee needs to check on him! ”
"He probably fainted." Barkley was also a little scared: "Is Lin's impact already exaggerated to this extent?" Can you just knock people over? Dry shock? ”
"If Bowen really fainted to the point of shock, then Lin's goal may be called the most brutal dunk in NBA history!"
"By the way, shouldn't we pray for Bowen?" Barkley suddenly said without a clue: "We don't want to see any injuries on the court. ”
"Yes, but alas, I'm an atheist at the moment and don't believe in that." Kenny shrugged his shoulders and made a regretful look and said, "But I can't pray, but I hope he's getting better soon." ”
The referee quickly stopped the game again, and at the same time waved his hand to signal the Heat team doctor to hurry up!
Once again, the game was interrupted.
Bowen is injured!
If another player is injured, the Pacers fans will definitely applaud at this time as a sign of encouragement!
Indiana's demeanor has always been there!
But this time it was Bowen who was hurt!
This guy just intended to cover the picture of Lin Tian, and the Indians have not forgotten it!
As a result, the fans began to shout a uniform slogan under the leadership of whom!
"Fake fall! Fake fall! Fake fall! Fake fall! ”
"Well deserved! Deserve! Deserve! Deserve! ”
"Die! Damn scoundrels! ”
For the guy who dares to hurt the first core of their team, the fans of the Pacers, there will definitely be no sympathy and pity!
A few minutes later, the Heat's team doctor made a quick gesture to the sidelines.
Lin Tian knew that this was a posture called a stretcher!
In this game or even this series, Bowen will definitely not be able to play!
Judging from the sound he made just now and the motionless condition on the floor, the photographers on the bottom line said: At least it was a concussion!
Just now, Bowen fell too hard! There is almost no cushioning and protection, and it falls directly from the air!
This posture is possible to smash directly on the floor from such a high height, and if you are unlucky, you can break your spine directly!
Concussion?
If it was really just a concussion, Bowen was lucky.
The big screen at the scene also pointed the camera at Bowen who was lying on a stretcher with his eyes closed at this time, and then once again sent his most sincere blessings to Bowen!
"Trash! Litter! Litter! Litter! ”
"Die! Die! Die! Die! ”
……
High-end trash talk, as a rule, only in its most ordinary form!
After Bowen was lifted off the court, Riley was replaced by Ruben Patterson again!
The referee gave 2 points to be valid, and there was no foul on either side!
This ball, Lin Tian's movements couldn't be cleaner! On the contrary, Bowen's movements on his hands were a little unclean, obviously he wanted to give Lin Tian a handful and let him fall over directly, but Bowen definitely didn't expect that in the end, he was directly knocked away by Lin Tian!
was also thrown and carried out directly!
If Bowen was still conscious at this time, he must have regretted it very much!
This ball is obviously dodged by himself, what kind of neurosis is he committed, he has to face Lin Tian head-on!
It's just looking for death! Bruce, Bruce, what are you doing to mess with this humanoid tyrannosaurus?
But it's a pity that Bowen obviously can't think at this time, and he doesn't know what happened to him, he is dizzy, and he hasn't been able to recover his ability to think too much until he is carried into the ambulance!
On the court, Lin Tian not only dunked successfully, but also used the cleanest and most impeccable way to take down the hidden weapon Bowen on the opposite side!
Anyway, Lin Tian thinks that there is a chance that this guy Bowen will have a psychological shadow in the future!
With the excited and frantic cheers of the home fans, the Pacers managed to extend the margin to 6 points!
Then the Heat's offense, Payton quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and then with the help of cover, pulled up a 3-point shot directly!
But this 3-pointer that could save the Heat team failed to hit, Payton failed to continue the feeling that he had just hit a 3-pointer, and the basketball smashed out of the basket!
Weber was in the air and knew that it would be difficult for him to take the ball between Mourning and Malone, so he didn't want to hold the basketball either, but clenched his big hand into a fist and smashed the basketball away from the basket with one punch!
He believes that Lin Tian will definitely be able to hold the basketball!
Moreover, even if Lin Tian can't hold the basketball, this large flight distance can consume several seconds of game time!
It's golden time!
Of course, Lin Tian would not let his buddy down, he shook off Payton, chased after the basketball quickly, and then hugged the basketball near the halfcourt, and then dribbled the basketball and ran towards the front court!
Behind Lin Tian were the players of the Heat team, who were crazy to chase Lin Tian, trying to catch him and foul him, so that the team could get the last hope of winning!
But Lin Tian's speed is really amazing, and when he runs all the way to the Heat's basket, no one can catch up with him.
Then he didn't shoot, but suddenly stopped under the basket, and the people of the Heat team breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to foul Lin Tian who was standing there still!
But at the moment when Peyton approached Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly started again!
He shook off Peyton in a change of direction and ran in the opposite direction at a 45-degree angle!
Several players of the Heat team hurriedly turned around and chased after him, wanting to catch Lin Tian.
But Lin Tian's speed is fast, and his ability to change direction and start and stop is strong, he dribbled the ball alone, and he actually dribbled for more than ten seconds!
By the time everyone on the Heat team finally intercepted Lin Tian near the sideline, and Ma Long hugged Lin Tian and fouled him, the game time was less than 30 seconds left!
Even the people of the Heat team were able to hug Lin Tian, but it was actually out of Lin Tian's caution.
Before he was finally caught, there was room to pass the ball! But Lin Tian didn't pass it on.
If Lin Tian passes it out, at least another 5 seconds of game time can be consumed!
But who made Lin Tian already 38 points?
Who wouldn't want to continue their own 40+ record?
Lin Tian, who stood on the free throw line, took a deep breath, and then after hitting all 2 free throws steadily, his score came to 40 points!
This is also Lin Tian's fifth consecutive 40+ score in the playoffs!
81:89!
The Pacers' lead has come to 8 points!
The suspense of the game is basically gone!
Next, Riley resigned himself to his fate, called another timeout, and set up a 3-pointer strategy.
Unfortunately, Leonard, who was open in the bottom corner, couldn't capitalize on the opportunity to save the team, and his 3-pointer bounced off the frame.
This time it was Lin Tian who grabbed the rebound!
After he grabbed the rebound, everyone knew the game was over!
It doesn't make sense for the Heat team to foul again, it's just to help Lin Tian score points.
So, everyone looked at Lin Tian and stopped defending, and the Pacers were also very particular, not attacking again, but dribbling the ball to the front court and waiting for the whistle to blow at the end of the game.
"Buzz!"
Finally, the whistle blows for the end of the game!
The Pacers relied on Lin Tian's continuous scoring at the last moment, and won this white-knuckle battle with bayonets in a thrilling way!
In this game, both sides tried every bullet and took out everything they could, it was an absolutely tragic game, a game that went down in history!
In this game, both sides showed strong confrontation ability and willpower! Although the shooting percentage on both sides is not high, or even low, the excitement of this game is definitely not lost to those high-scoring games where both sides hit 130 points!
Defensive battles also have the charm of defensive battles!
Lin Tian made 13 of 31 shots, 11 of 11 free throws, and 3 of 9 3-pointers tonight, and scored 40 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks!
Although the shooting rate is just 40%, Lin Tian's toughness and continuous scoring in the last quarter are enough to make everyone forget his shooting rate!
Especially in addition to Lin Tian and the strange soldier Lewis in the fourth quarter, the rest of the Pacers played very badly and badly, which made Lin Tian's performance even more amazing!
In addition to Lintian, the Pacers' Lewis scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, including 2-of-2 from three-point range.
Webb had a very bad performance tonight, only 5-of-22 shooting, only 12 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, Big Ben was the only person on the team other than Lewis who shot more than 50%, he shot 2-of-3, scored 4 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks! Aside from these guys, the Pacers didn't have a single player in double figures in scoring or rebounding.
Miller had seven points, Carter had eight and Christie had four.
As for the Heat, in addition to Buford, who scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the fourth quarter, Mourning scored 24 points, 24 rebounds and 7 blocks on 9-of-27 shooting, and Malone scored 19 points and 18 rebounds on 7-of-21 shooting! Although the Heat's interior twin towers didn't shoot many shots tonight, they combined to grab more than 40 rebounds, including 16 frontcourt rebounds!
Tonight, the Heat relied on the strong attack and secondary offense of the two of them to bite the score and hold on to the last moment!
In addition, Payton shot 1 three-pointer in the fourth quarter and scored 11 points on 5-of-16 shooting, and the Heat team was also very inefficient tonight, and only 4 people on the team scored double-doubles.
Tonight, it's definitely a tragic iron fight!
But winning at this level tonight would be a huge boost to the Pacers' momentum!
All the players are excited from the bottom of their hearts!
Such a victory is indescribable for their morale!
After all, this kind of game can be won, and what game can't the Pacers can't win?
On the other hand, the Heat team, in the whole team tried their best, from the core to the starter to the surprise soldiers who were ordered to play in danger to the extreme, but in the end they still lost the game, which definitely made them extremely frustrated!
And to the frustration of the Heat, it was on this night that Bowen's diagnosis came out.
The good news is that Bowen doesn't have any injuries to his spine, lower back, or anywhere else.
The bad news is, a severe concussion!
Bowen didn't regain consciousness until the ambulance went to the hospital, and his condition was very bad.
Not to mention the next game, this guy's season is already over early! As for whether there will be sequelae, it depends on his creation.
Regarding this situation, when Lin Tian was interviewed after the game, he sent a very sincere 'condolences' to Bowen!
"I'm sorry that I jumped up that ball, I couldn't control my body in the air at all, I'm very sorry for this accident, I hope he's okay, I hope he can return to the pitch as soon as possible, I hope I can reunite with him on the pitch as soon as possible!"
"I'm looking forward to meeting him on the pitch again!"
These words sound perfectly fine.
But to the ears of several relevant people and people who knew Lin Tian, Lin Tian's words were a naked threat at all!
"There's a kind of try to play against me again and see if I kill you!"
This is the subtext of Lin Tian's words!
Several reporters from Miami obviously won't just let Lin Tian go, they are still chasing Lin Tian!
"Lin, doesn't this action of yours mean revenge? Do you think it's a clean move? Are you going too far? You don't have to! ”
"I didn't push him, I didn't touch him outside of my chest, and you won't find a cleaner dunk in the entire history of the NBA! It was just an unfortunate accident! It's as if God will punish those who are guilty, and the god of basketball will also make those who don't play well look good! ”
"As for revenge? I don't know what this means, why should I take revenge on him? What did he do to me? I don't think he's done anything to take revenge against. ”
"And, if you watch this game, you will know how crazy this game is, how many small actions and confrontations there are between the two sides, and my action is not worth mentioning at all! It's a normal and clean move! ”
"He's got a foothold! Of course you have to take revenge on him. Another reporter was very dissatisfied with Lin Tian's pretending to be stupid, and said directly: "We all saw it, he cushioned you!" ”
"Did he cushion me?" Lin Tian smiled and said, "Then he is really dirty!" But I'm not that kind of player, and I'm not going to use anything that would ruin someone's career against my opponents! ”
"You can even ask the guys who have had conflicts with me, Carl Malone and Gary Payton right next door, and Sean Kemp, and all the other guys who have had conflicts with me, just ask them and see if I've done anything that would ruin their careers!"
"I'm not a good gentleman, I'm not a good person, I have revenge, I admit it."
"But I'm not dirty."
"And, since you said Bruce cushioned me, I'll put away my respect for him and go back to the game footage! If he really cushioned me, I would definitely complain like the league! Ask the league to ban him additionally! I will not have the slightest mercy and politeness against such filthy players, I will make it my duty to kick all this type of players out of the league! ”
Lin Tian's words were sonorous and powerful, and there was no hesitation at all, plus the Miami reporter took the lead in admitting Bowen's stepping up, so that they could directly take the dwarf!
At this time, they couldn't say a word, and they were completely suppressed by Lin Tian's aura.
After all, these reporters also know very well that if they continue to talk about it, it is to speak up for a stepping player, to escort a dirty player, and they really can't do this kind of thing.
It's not that I don't want to, it's not that I don't dare, but it's not cost-effective!
If they insist on supporting Bowen, they will become public enemies of the Alliance!
Lin Tian's position gave him a large advantage in public opinion, whether it was fans, players or commentators, they all agreed that the last ball was an accident, and decided that Bowen's stepping was very dirty!
For example, the day after this game, when the first game of the Western Conference Finals started, several players from the Lakers and Trail Blazers were interviewed!
O'Neill: "Dirty! It's so dirty! I forever condemn this filthy act of deliberate foot-stepping! ”
"I watched the footage and I knew what that action meant by Bowen." Bryant said: "If Lin is a little unlucky and really twists his ankle, then his entire career will be plagued by endless injuries!" Only athletes know how dirty that action is! ”
Rashid: "If Bowen had used this on one of our players, I guarantee he wouldn't be able to walk off the pitch!" What? Was he really carried out? That's great! That's what I'm going to see! ”
Sabonis: "In Europe, this kind of scum will be banned from the stadium! If you meet crazy fans, it's not impossible to get a gun! ”
Stoudmayer: "I was padded, I lost my speed because of it, I never got back to my old self, I lost my chance to be a top point guard forever!" I will never forgive the scoundrels who stretch out their feet! ”
……
The reason why only the people from these two teams have spoken out is because now that it is the division finals, apart from these players, the other guys have long been out of the question!
If it's during the regular season, then don't think about it, what awaits Bowen must be overwhelming group condemnation!
As for the fact that he fell heavily on the floor and caused a concussion and even fainting shock on the spot, everyone thought that he deserved it!
Under this kind of public opinion, the alliance also complied with public opinion, and did not investigate Lin Tian's smoking of Bowen's big ear scraper, and gave Lin Tian any additional punishment!
As for Lin Tian, of course, he didn't go to the league to appeal, asking the league to give Bowen an additional ban, a fine or anything like that.
After all, I, Lin Daguan, am a top star in the league and a two-time MVP winner!
It's a shame to report this kind of thing after the game! It's the same as a child who went home to sue his parents after being robbed of a lollipop, not only embarrassing but also ridiculous, Lin Tian said: Lao Tzu wants to save face, this kind of thing can't be done!
Decent, people! Gotta save face!
The turmoil in the first game can be regarded as a quick end under Lin Tian's toughness, the support of all parties, and the alliance's intention to calm down as soon as possible.
The second match between the two sides two days later had a completely different pace than the first!
In this game, the Pacers increased their enthusiasm and ferocity to break through and impact the basket, and in the first round of the game, Lin Tian rushed to the inside line and jumped to the basket against Mourning, causing Mourning's foul!
Mourning was fouled in the first round, and the Pacers' outside group was even more confident, and they would rush towards Mourning almost every round!
Although this style of play allowed Mourning to get 4 blocks in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, and also allowed the Heat to take a 14-6 lead in the first 5 minutes, it also allowed Mourning to eat his second foul at 5 minutes and 23 seconds in the first quarter!
Less than half of the first quarter was played, and the number one core of the team encountered a foul crisis!
Even if he is as scheming as Riley, he can't come up with a good way to deal with this situation, and he can only replace PJ Brown to fill the vacancy left by Mourning.
Even if Brown is a first-class blue-collar in the league and has been selected to the All-Defensive Team several times, he obviously can't compare to Mourning in terms of aggressiveness, pressing, defensive coverage and deterrence on the defensive end!
What's more, after Mourning's departure, the Heat lost their first point of attack!
Although there are still Malone and Payton on the court, Peyton is entangled by Lin Tian, and Malone has to face the double bag of Webb and Big Ben!
The advantage of the Heat team was quickly eroded!
22:30!
By the end of the first quarter, the Pacers had already surpassed by 8 points!
Although the Heat let Mourning play at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Malone played the whole game in the first quarter in order to fill the vacancy of Mourning's absence, and he had to go down to rest at this time.
Bird even calculated that the Heat team could only play a top interior player during this time period, and he also made a quick decision and came up with his trick to press the bottom of the box, and it was also the set of the Death Five that he didn't take for a second in the first game!
Webb, Christie, Miller, Carter, and Lintian!
For this lineup, Bird only entrusted one sentence.
"Get their lungs out of me!"
After the Pacers were aggrieved for 5 quarters and played a positional battle for 5 quarters, they could finally have fun!
As a result, Miller's 3 points, Carter's aerial relay, Webb's pass after winning the rebound, Christie's setter as a ball transfer station, and the omnipotent and omnipresent Lin Tian all played out!
Less than 3 minutes into the second quarter, the Pacers frantically blasted out a wave of 9:0 offensive climax!
Even if Riley immediately called a timeout and hurriedly took his full main lineup, the Pacers, who had already run crazy, were obviously not the ones that the Heat said could be pressed again!
Lin Tian withstood Malone's strong 3-point shot, Carter's ultra-long 3-point when the Pacers were about to be prevented from violating the 24-second violation, and Miller rushed into the basket with one arm and dunked! There is also Webb's pass behind the back, assisting Christie to cut the basket and smash the dunk!
At 9 minutes and 30 seconds into the second quarter of the game, Lin Tian once again held the ball at the top of the arc and used the cover to face Mo Ning, deceived Mo Ning with his continuous rhythm changes and extremely large dribbles, and finally withdrew from the 3-point line and raised his hand to shake it, and finally succeeded in making Mo Ning jump!
Lin Tian didn't hesitate, he got up directly and stuck to Mo Ning, and after the two collided in the air, Lin Tian's wrist exerted force and forcibly threw the basketball out!
"Doot toot!"
The referee's whistle sounded quickly, and Lin Tian not only caused Mo Ning's third foul, but also played a 3+1!
At the same time, when Lin Tianjia hit a free throw, their lead had reached 20 points!
In this case, where would Riley dare to replace Moning? If there was no Mourning at this time, the Heat would have to trail by 30 points before the end of the first half!
So even if he has 3 fouls, Mo Ning must stay on the court!
For the rest, Riley can only pray that Morning will calm down and stop making mistakes!
The two sides fought for a long time around a 20-point difference.
Until the Pacers' last attack in the first half, Mourning still had 3 fouls, and the difference between the two sides was 19 points!
Lin Tian dribbled the ball at the top of the arc in no hurry, watching the time, waiting for the opportunity to strike the last blow.
The last 6 seconds!
Lin Tian suddenly started!
A simple, practical and lightning-fast crotch back body changed direction and dribbled past Payton, and then Lin Tian suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he hit the 3-point line of the Heat!
Although Marsh next to him had been prepared and quickly retracted to help defend Lin Tian, Lin Tian suddenly passed the ball behind with one hand, making Marsh think that Lin Tian was going to pass it to Christie, who was let go by him.
When Mashburn quickly turned around to pounce on Christie, he realized that the basketball hadn't flown over at all!
Lin Tian completely deceived him with a feint!
Then Lin Tian stepped into the 3-second zone, took the ball and jumped up against Mo Ning again!
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, the two collided hard in the air, Lin Tian blocked Mo Ning's hand with one hand, and pulled the other hand to the far end that Mo Ning couldn't reach, and then with a flick of his wrist, the basketball crossed the air and flew towards the basket.
But Mo Ning was in a hurry to block and didn't want the difference between the two sides to exceed 20 points in the first half of the game! After all, 19 and 21, although there is a gap of 2 points, but one is more than 10 points behind, and the other is more than 20 points behind, this little gap is definitely a huge difference in the mentality and confidence of the players!
So Mo Ning's action of blocking this time is still a big loss!
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Mo Ning's right hand accurately hit Lin Tian's arm, and the referee on the sidelines immediately blew the whistle!
Lin Tian caused Mo Ning to foul again, and it was 2+1!
Mourning, on the other hand, received the fourth foul that made Riley angry off the court!
The first half passed in front of me, and I actually ate another foul!
It's a big loss!
It's definitely a big loss!
Riley was swearing, his mood was really terrible!
The impact of Mourning's foul on the Heat team is absolutely devastating!
Let Riley keep boosting the fighting spirit of the players at halftime, and let him use all kinds of methods to cheer the players, but the players of the Heat team obviously have no fighting spirit!
With 22 points trailing in the first half, Mourning had four fouls, still on the road.
The general feeling among the players is: this game is over! This game is out of play!
Let's go back to the home field!
As long as you guard the home field, it's still 2:2!
For such a thing as conquering Indiana, it is more appropriate to place it in the battle of Tianwang Mountain!
When this kind of slack comes along, it is almost impossible to get rid of it.
The Heat still couldn't feel anything in the third quarter of the game, and they were beaten hard by the Pacers!
For them, the biggest problem tonight was that Mourning was whistled for too many fouls, which made them unable to give it their all on both ends of the floor!
By the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides had reached 27 points!
And Mourning has already got 5 fouls!
In this case, Riley also understood: tonight, the Heat team is out of play!
So, he replaced all the main players at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game and announced his surrender!
If it's home tonight, then Leiri might fight again to see if he can pull off a miracle.
But on the road, the referee's decision is biased in favor of the Pacers, that is, there is really no need to continue!
Let the main force rest more and store as much physical strength as possible is the last word!
As for Bird, he is not the kind of character who grabs the opponent to the death, as soon as he sees that the Heat team has the main force, he also let his main players play one more round on the court, and as soon as the ball is dead, he quickly rotates and declares the game to enter garbage time!
129:109!
In the end, the Pacers played their own style on the night, playing their favorite offensive basketball and quick counter-attacking tactics!
In the whole game, Lin Tian once again hit 41 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, and he has 40+ consecutive games, which has been extended to 6 games! Lin Tian's state during the playoffs is really strong and a little scary.
In addition to Lin Tian, Weber, who was extremely miserable in the last game and was suppressed by the Twin Towers, also found his form tonight, scoring 25 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-17 shooting!
In addition, Carter also scored 15 points, and Big Ben dominated the interior, taking advantage of the fact that only one person could be on the court for a long time between Mourning and Malone, he was crazy to grab the board, and got 4 points and 26 rebounds in the whole game!
On the Heat's side, Mourning's playing time tonight was chopped to pieces, although he scored 15 rebounds and 8 blocks, he barely played any sense on the offensive end, only 4 of 14 shots, and only relied on free throws to score 15 points!
Malone was in great shape tonight, he shot 14-of-24, hit a beautiful double-double of 36 points and 12 rebounds, and was also the team's highest scorer and the only player to score more than 20 points!
But Ma Long alone is obviously not enough, he can't support himself, even if he tries his best, he can only watch the team reap a failure!
The next third battle between the two sides has become a copy of the first one!
In this game, it was the turn of the Pacers not to be treated by the referee, and it was their turn to be whistled by the referee for many fouls, and the Heat also had the upper hand almost the entire game by virtue of their home-court advantage, as well as more open defensive actions and fierce and tough game style at home!
Of course, in this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the two sides usually have a low score, a slow tempo, and a strong confrontation rhythm!
When the fourth quarter went into a timeout in the last 2 minutes, the Pacers were still trailing by 5 points!
71:76!
And tonight, the foul crisis came to the side of the Pacers, Big Ben was fouled 2 minutes ago, Christie and Carter both had 4 fouls at this time, plus Webber who fouled 5 times, the Heat's next strategy must be the same as the Pacers' second game.
Hit the inside and attack the basket!
"Rush inside! The referee is in our favor! "Riley has almost all set up this one thing in this timeout between the two sides!
Take advantage of this referee bias and win the game!
We must not let the victory of this game slip through our fingers!
If they lose tonight, then with a score of 3:0, the Heat will have nothing to do! The rest of the game is the same whether you play it or not.
Even if it is not swept away, it will be 4:1 at most!
But if you win tonight, it won't be the same way!
The Heat will get a chance to tie the big score in Game 4!
The morale of the team is bound to increase dramatically! Everything will become more possible!
Now, it's up to the Heat to hold on to the 5-point advantage in the last 2 minutes!
