Chapter 343: The Worst Pacers! An embarrassing situation like never before!

Regardless of whether the Pacers' move Harrington is a dead card against Garnett or not, Carlisle's Minnesota version is provided, but anyway, tonight, when Garnett faces Harrington, he really can't play any dominance!

He was completely restrained by Harrington on the offensive end!

In the entire first quarter of the game, Garnett not only had 3 turnovers, but also only 1 of 4 shots, when the team leader performed so badly on the offensive end, the Timberwolves naturally struggled to play any beautiful offensive performance, they only scored 19 points in the entire first quarter!

And most of these 19 points were scored by Sprewell and Brandon's individual offensive scores, and the team handed out a total of 3 assists in the first quarter! The entire offensive system of the Timberwolves collapsed completely because Garnett was choked by Harrington!

They can only rely on their individual ability to score piecemeal!

And for the Timberwolves, the worst problem isn't even that Garnett doesn't do anything on the offensive end, it's that he doesn't do anything on the defensive end either!

After being hit by the Pacers a few quick counterattacks at the beginning, the Timberwolves began to pay attention to retreating, paying attention to compressing the Pacers' advance space, and fighting for frontcourt rebounds so that they couldn't push so easily.

But when the Pacers finally fell into a positional battle as the Timberwolves wished, the Timberwolves discovered that the 'Minnesota Custom Package' that Carlisle prepared for them had just begun!

In response to the Timberwolves' big center Nesterovich's slow movement, slow reaction and inflexible weaknesses, Pacers center Miller does not go down the free throw line at all, he has been in the high post with teammates in various cover and hand-to-hand cooperation!

If Nesterovic doesn't come up and squats on the inside, Miller and Lin Tian will use one hand after another to pass the ball and receive direct jump shots, and the Timberwolves are looking for teeth all over the ground!

Then Nesterovic finally gave up the squatting pit and chose to defend the shooter of the Pacers, but at this time Carlisle took Best, a backup guard with a very good impact, and Lin Tian played a double PG tactic.

You come up?

These two little guards, who are faster than the other, immediately burst the Timberwolves' interior into a sieve!

At this time, Garnett had no choice, he could only quickly recover and defend the Pacers' small guard assault, but in this way, Harrington was missed!

This kite-type No. 4 who loves to shoot 3 points has a projection ability that is completely inconsistent with his lower handicap strength, and he seized the opportunity in the first quarter and hit 2 3-pointers in a row!

As a result, the Timberwolves didn't even dare to let Garnett reclaim it.

Head coach Saunders can only change his general, take Nesterovic and replace him with Lafonso Ellis, who is faster and more flexible!

But as soon as he saw the Timberwolves pick up Ellis, who was only 2 meters tall, Carlisle immediately shouted at the court, so Brad Miller, who just didn't get into the inside line as if he had a habit of cleanliness, immediately turned into an inside monster and rushed into the inside line and couldn't get out!

Compared to Ellis, Miller has a height advantage of more than 10 centimeters, and also has a weight advantage of almost 10 kilograms! Under the combination of the two sides, this guy immediately turned into a monster under the basket and scored points from two consecutive low positions.

In desperation, Garnett could only rush into the interior defense again under Sanders' instructions.

But none of them expected that this little-known guy who was unpopular at the draft meeting 3 years ago and lost directly still had a hand to pass!

Or rather, Miller's signature skill is passing! Although not as flashy and coquettish as Webb, his vision and passing starters are absolutely top-notch!

Garnett helped defend the inside several times, but all of them were passed out by Miller's teammates who found an open position!

In the last attack of the first quarter, Miller made a one-handed pass behind his back in the low post, gave the ball to Lin Tian, who followed up in the middle, and assisted him to complete a beautiful aerial folding dunk!

This game, which was highly anticipated by the fans before the game, felt that it could play a wonderful and thunderous game, lost suspense from the first quarter, the Timberwolves were never able to chase points, and the Pacers did not play the same feeling as in the first quarter, but they have maintained the point difference.

As for the outside Christie, facing Kobe Bryant, who has now grown into a real top star, is also a little difficult to parry, especially after the inside line lacks Big Ben's help defense, Christie has become the only barrier to defend Kobe, he tried his best on the defensive end, but he failed to suppress Kobe's firepower!

In this game, only Lin Tian and Reggie performed well in the whole Pacers team, Lin Tian scored 41 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds with a quasi-triple-double data, while Reggie hit 7 three-pointers and scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists!

"It stands to reason that at this time, it should be the team boss who shoulders everything, regardless of his crazy charge, using offenses and individual scores to support the team's record and lead the team forward, but the Pacers chose the most reasonable, unexpected and unpredictable way!"

Christmas War!

Magic VS Spurs!

This is Duncan's first time in San Antonio since his transfer, known as the traitor to the Holy City, where he will face off against his former big brother Robinson and mentor Popovich! At the same time, the Magic team, which formed a fantasy lineup this summer, will also face the challenge of the best team in the West, and they will show their success in this game!

76ers vs Bucks!

101:83!

After Lin Tian's empty cut and dunk, the Pacers have scored a terrifying 41 points in this quarter!

With the absence of three main players, he scored 41 points with a shooting rate of more than 70% in a single quarter! All the players on the team played, and almost every attack was able to hit the most comfortable and suitable point, creating absolute opportunities to shoot!

"Team basketball, passing and cutting coordination, running without the ball, selfless sharing!"

In this game, Brad Miller only made 2 of 7 shots, and only scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists before O'Neal hit 6 fouls and left, while Harrington only made 3 of 12 shots and only got 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

"I think there will be a lot of people who will question Coach Carlisle's resume and experience before the season starts, thinking that he will not be worthy of such a championship-caliber team! But now, I think all the speculation and doubts can be dispelled! ”

The trio of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal has also become the three-man duo with the highest average points per game in the league today!

In fact, Carter, Webb and Lin Tian of the Pacers were able to compete with these three guys, but unfortunately, Carter and Webb played too few games and failed to enter the list of technical statistics!

Not to mention how bad his mood was tonight, after all, the team was in a broken state, and the loss to the Lakers was expected.

Not only that, O'Neal Jr. averaged 14 points and 9 rebounds per game this season! has surpassed Rice, who averaged 12 points per game, to become the team's third leading scorer!

The team's boss O'Neal averaged 28 points and 13 rebounds per game, and also ushered in a metamorphosis this year, and Kobe, who is getting better and better, averaged 27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and played the top swingman data of 25+5+5 for the first time in his career!

With the advocacy and heartfelt appreciation of Barkley and Kenny, the Pacers didn't let the suspense of this game recur, and although their hand dropped significantly and was no longer as terrifying as the first quarter, the Timberwolves really didn't have a good way to chase points.

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves by 18 points and successfully won again!

After successfully taking out the Timberwolves, the Pacers' new starting lineup was also getting better and better, finding confidence, and they won the next few games again.

Then, Lin Tian left Staples and left Los Angeles.

And the Pacers' record at this time is also temporarily fixed at 21-6! They sit comfortably in first place in the East, followed by the 19-8 Magic.

"When the main team and stars of the team sat down on the court to rest, Lin Tian led the whole team to play the most exciting, gorgeous and beautiful team basketball in the league!"

This much-anticipated Christmas battle has also lost a lot of highlights and things to look forward to because of the uneven personnel of the Pacers!

It was originally the top showdown in the league, but it turned out to be three British vs. Lu Bu!

Although the Pacers are remnants, although the Lakers also played to the last moment to win in the face of the remnants of the Pacers, but if they win, they win!

The Lakers are just happy!

Regarding the excitement of the Lakers, when Lin Tian faced the media after the game, he simply left a sentence: "Let's see." ”

They want to compete with the Lakers in this ranking, and they have to wait until Webb and Carter return to the court!

The game day that fans are most looking forward to and want to see in the regular season has finally arrived!

On the contrary, the Lakers relied on O'Neal to crush the interior and Kobe Bryant's mid-range jumper to score 4 points in a row and kill the game!

Kenny followed, "Not bad! And it's not the kind of dull and boring positional warfare and endless and unsightly pass-ball and patience contests. ”

And when this game started, everyone finally found out: whether it is Brad Miller or Harrington, these two guys who can play brilliantly against other opponents and repeatedly contribute good performances can't keep up with the intensity of the game when facing real top teams!

Lakers VS Pacers!

Last year's Finals rivals, and the two most popular teams in the league today, met for the first time since the Finals on Christmas Day!

It's just that the Lakers are now fully healthy and online, and O'Neal Jr., who the team bought at a low price from the Trail Blazers last year, has completed his transformation this season and secured the team's position as the starting power forward!

But it's definitely not pretty, after all, who can lose and then look at the technical stats and say, "We lost tonight, but I got 40+10 and I have a plus/minus of +7." ”

After taking out 4 opponents in a row, their winning streak has once again reached 5 in a row!

In the last 1 minute, the Pacers didn't score 1 point, and they were beaten by the Lakers to climax, and in the end, the Pacers also lost this crucial Christmas battle with a score of 101:108, a difference of 7 points!

The Lakers were thrilled to win the crucial victory, the players celebrated and cheered wildly, as if they had won the Finals, and the entire Staples Center celebrated like the Chinese New Year!

They took it!

I held it for half a year, with the regret and grievance of being beaten by the walkers for half a year!

The Angelenos are finally raising their eyebrows!

In this quarter, the Pacers teamed up an exaggerated 11 assists! And Lin Tian, two Millers and Best, each of whom gave at least 2 assists!

Absolutely balanced! Absolute team basketball!

"I really didn't expect the Pacers to play such a brilliant performance when the team's starting lineup was injured by more than half of them!" Barkley couldn't help but say: "No, it should be said that I didn't expect the Pacers to play such a wonderful performance in this way!" ”

"The team basketball played by Lin is no worse than when the Pacers are all in the team! They are so surprising and admirable! Here, I would like to give Coach Carlisle the highest praise! ”

And when the season enters this stage, it also means that December is coming to an end.

The Bucks' three musketeers combined for an average of 62 points per game, the second-highest scoring trio in the league!

Will the three musketeers take out the Philadelphia heroes under Iverson's command, or will Iverson, the lone hero, break into the deer's den alone and win the crucial battle?

and the most important and eye-catching finale.

This game is a clash of emerging forces in the league, the 76ers, who are third in the East, against the Bucks, who are fourth in the East, Iverson VS the three musketeers!

This game is a competition of individual and team firepower, and before Christmas, Iverson averaged 32 points per game, first in the league!

On Christmas night, the league will normally arrange several peak showdowns that fans are most looking forward to, and at the same time, the most gimmicky and the most willing to turn on the TV!

This year, the league has prepared a total of three games.

This kind of targeted defense and 5-2 defensive strategy put the Pacers' offense in a huge difficulty!

In the last minute of the game, the Pacers attacked the Lakers' defense three times, but the result was that Miller failed to find space to receive the ball, Lin Tian missed two shots, and Harrington got a big open shot opportunity was also declared iron.

But unfortunately, only these two scored in double figures in the team, and the rest of the team was really out of form tonight!

In the last minute of the game, Fisher bit Miller to death, chasing him all over the court regardless of it, Kobe Bryant and Rice were both wrapped in Lin Tian, plus O'Neal, who was ready to help defend at any time under the basket, as for the remaining 3 people, they were all let go by the Lakers!

Relying on the performance of these two, the Pacers also bit the game to the last minute!

They were completely stunned by the Pacers!

The score difference between the two sides has been hovering back and forth at 20 points!

"Larry Bird has picked the right guy again, he's made the perfect transition, he's got the perfect successor!"

How strong does it take to have a heart to say such a thing?

Anyway, although Lin Tian thought that he was thick-skinned enough, he really couldn't do this.

And for the Pacers, the nightmare has just begun!

As if the Lakers had lost their confidence, Brad Miller, Al Harrington and even Christie and Best on the bench were out of form for the remaining two games in December, and their performance plummeted from before Christmas.

Even Reggie Miller seemed to run out of energy against the Lakers, and then his 3-point shooting rate dropped to 26% in two consecutive games, with a total of only 4-of-15 shooting, which was just as bad!

In the midst of this awful performance, the Pacers also lost back-to-back games at the end of December, losing back-to-back to the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings, two offensive teams with a lot of offensive firepower.

3 Wins in a Row!

The Pacers suffered their first 3-game losing streak since Lin Tian joined the team! Since the 97-98 season, they have maintained the level of a top team for more than 3 seasons and have never suffered 3 consecutive defeats!

And this time, they ushered in a wave of consecutive defeats due to constant injuries and the decline in the strength of the team's bench!

After this wave of three consecutive losses, their record has slipped to 21-9, and they have been overtaken by the Magic behind them and dropped to second place in the East.

In the West, the Lakers are 24-5 and the Mavericks are 22-8 ahead of the Pacers.

With more than a third of the season going on, the Pacers are only fourth in the league!

At the same time, they are only ranked fifth in the latest edition of the league's power rankings, and in the odds given by Las Vegas, they have also slipped to sixth, and they are even surpassed by the Milwaukee Bucks!

In addition, in the MVP rankings, even if Lin Tian can still average 26 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 3 steals per game, he has slipped to fifth!

is not as good as O'Neal, who averaged 28 points and 13 rebounds per game, not as good as Iverson, who averaged 32 points and 5 assists per game, and Duncan, who averaged 22 points and 12 rebounds!

Even Garnett of the Timberwolves rushed to fourth and surpassed Lin Tian!

Since Lin Tian joined the Pacers, he has never fallen out of the top three on the MVP list!

It can be said that whether it is the Pacers or Lin Tian personally, they have reached the most difficult and worst moment since Lin Tian joined the team for four seasons!

Maybe at this point, the only thing to be thankful for is that the Pacers' injury spree came early, and they suffered it at the beginning of the season, not mid-season or at the end of the season!

If there is such a series of injuries at that time, it will really affect the team's championship!

Now, it's all in time!

But Lin Tian couldn't bear it anymore!

For the team's continuous losing streak, switching back and forth between victory and defeat, Lin Tian knew that he had to do something!

On January 1, the Pacers return to Indiana at home, and in their first game of 2001, they will face the Kings, a rising power in the West, from Sacramento!

In the battle between the two sides three days ago, the Kings' three musketeers Jason Williams, Divac and Peja Stojakovic made big moves, Williams had 17 points and 13 assists, Divac had 18 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, and Peja scored 8 3-pointers to score 33 points!

With the three of them breaking out at the same time, the Kings also managed to take down the Pacers and achieved a victory that made the whole Sacramento cheer!

Then, less than 96 hours later, the Kings arrived in Indiana, and they were bound to win, and they still wanted to win! They want to achieve the feat of sweeping the Pacers this season!

In the past four years, no team in the league has swept the Pacers in the regular season!

Now's the King's chance!

The whole team, from coach Adelman to the core Peja, Williams, to the role players, is full of fighting spirit, and must win the Pacers and become the first team to sweep the Pacers in the regular season in four years!

Because of Lin Tian's appearance, the almost bald Kings team can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, although they lost the absolute core of Webber and Christie.

But Williams has been given better workouts and more opportunities, and this guy is averaging 16 points and 9 assists per game this season, and although he still can't solve his shortcomings of low shooting percentage, he has already become a bit of a first-line guard in the league.

Peja, a tall shooter from Yugoslavia, also picked up the team's early warning because of Webb's absence, and he was able to average 24 points per game and shoot 42% from the field this season, hitting more than 2 3-pointers per game! He has become the representative of the new generation of top batteries in the league!

Coupled with Divac, who is versatile and can score 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists per game, he has had plenty of opportunities to show his talent and all-round skills in his rookie season, with Sido Tekoglou, who averages 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and bench killer Bobby Jackson.

The Kings' goal this year is no longer just to make the playoffs!

They have higher dreams and plans!

Before the start of the game, in the face of the overwhelming boos and scolding of the Indianas, the five starters Verratti Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Sido Tekoglou, Jason Williams, and Fred Hojberg walked side by side on the court!

"It's been a long time since I've seen Fred, and I've been mixing well lately?" Lin Tian's expression was still very relaxed, and he reached out to say hello to Hojberg, a veteran of the Pacers and the team's backup point guard when they won the championship in '98.

Hoiberg obviously didn't expect Lin Tian to remember his full trick, and he reached out and touched Lin Tian with some surprise: "It's not bad!" I'm a starter this year! ”

"Lin, I'll definitely be able to beat you up tonight!" Williams, Lin Tian's number one little fan brother next to him, saw that Lin Tian didn't greet him first, and walked over with a little jealousy, and opened his mouth to provoke.

"You can shoot more than 30% tonight and score more than 10 points, even if you up, the standard is low enough, right?" Lin Tian chewed gum and said, "If you can't even do this, don't say the word explosion in front of me in the future!" ”

"We'll see!" Williams felt Lin Tian's contempt, and he was immediately eager to try, and even his breathing became a little heavier, and he couldn't wait to let the game start quickly! He also knew very well that he was not as good as Lin Tian, and he was not Lin Tian's opponent.

Can it be 10 points? Hit rate 30%?

Who to look down on!

That's it!

Of the Pacers' starting five, only Lin Tian and Christie are regular starters, and the remaining three are still double Miller and Harrington.

As the referee blew the whistle in the center circle, Miller faced the low-tech old-timers who were older than him, slower than him, and jumped slower than him, and easily won the first wave of possession for the team.

Lin Tian hugged the basketball, and once again transported to the front court without hurrying, facing Williams's eager and excited defensive posture, Lin Tian chewed gum and said easily: "Look at your appearance, are you ready to be completely blown up by me?" ”

"Come on, Lin, let you see me."

Just halfway through Williams's words, Lin Tian repeated his old trick again, directly speeding up and forcibly rushing past Williams's side, Lin Tian's fast Williams didn't even have time to curse a swear word, and he had already disappeared from in front of him!

And by the time Williams finished turning around and wanted to continue defending Lin Tian, Lin Tian had even finished his shot!

Lin Tian's ball was past Williams, and he stopped directly two steps inside the 3-point line, and shot directly at the mid-range jumper!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored a jump shot between the lights and flints!

"Jason, what about you? Lost? After the goal, Lin Tian was still chewing gum and retreated easily, with a light face.

"Oh! Lin is here again! His first step was so fast! If it's just speed, I think Lin is definitely the first person in the league today! After Kenny saw Lin Tian's ball, he couldn't help but immediately open his mouth in admiration.

"Is it just about speed? Why do I think Lin is the first person in the league in many ways? Barkley said beside him: "In other words, Lin Mingming is the first person in the alliance today!" ”

"He's number one in the league, but it's too much! For example, defense! Look, Lin defended Williams closely, didn't give Williams any space, does Williams want to make a mistake? He dribbled very badly! Lin shot! The ball is broken! Lin broke the ball! ”

"Smack!"

On the court, Lin Tian is close to Williams outside the 3-point line, and it is difficult for him to break through even one step to the inside line, with a strong force to lay the bottom, Williams really has no room to play and break through, just when he staggered a little and wanted to find a teammate and pass the ball out, Lin Tian started!

As soon as he cut off the ball that Williams was dribbling, he turned around and launched a counterattack towards the front court, under Lin Tian's lightning speed, the Kings players had no time to catch up, and could only watch Lin Tian rush to the basket!

Then Lin Tian jumped easily from the side of the basket, holding the basketball with one hand and drawing a beautiful arc in front of him, and then when Lin Tian glided all the way to parallel to the basket, his right hand holding the ball suddenly swung out horizontally and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!"

After a bang, Lin Tian scored 2 points again for the Pacers!

"Oooh!" Barkley exclaimed excitedly, "It's coming! Lin's ball is very similar to the one in Michael's dunk contest that year! One-handed big loop! This ball forest is even more complete! ”

"The take-off height, the gliding distance, and the stretch of the one-handed windmill, I think they are all better than Michael's back then! Kenny, what do you think? ”

"I think it's perfect! I saw Michael's shadow and charm in Lin's body! If Lin is a few centimeters taller, then this ball is exactly the same as Michael! Kenny was much more careful with what he said.

After all, Barkley and Jordan are good guys, and he can say whatever comes to his mind without any inhibitions.

But Kenny doesn't have that kind of relationship, and when he speaks, he has to be careful and careful.

As for Lin Tian on the court, if he heard what these two people said, he would definitely say: Like? Like, that's right! And it's not just like, you can't say 'yes' too much!

After the team's 3 consecutive defeats, Lin Tian couldn't stand the situation that the team continued to be so bad and couldn't win all the time, so he dropped the last experience card in his hand!

"87-88 Season Michael Jordan Experience Card (Single Month)!"

That season, Jordan averaged 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals per game, and that season, Jordan won the MVP for the first time in his career, led the team to 50 wins for the first time, and won the best defensive player for the first and only time!

This season's Jordan has reached a personal grand slam for the first time! He won all but the championship!

Although Jordan this season is not as terrifying as his average of 37 points per game the year before, his average score of 35 points per game is also the second highest in Jordan's career!

At this time, Jordan has endless energy and can really play a game of full offense and defense, which is the most exaggerated and thorough year of his personal ability!

And this year, in addition to Jordan, the Bulls lineup also includes pure blue collar, a young version of Charles Oakley, a rookie version of Pippen who has just joined the team, and 'Cobra' Grant, who has not yet worn glasses.

Other than that, no player has ever been selected as an All-Star, and no player has left a legacy in the league worth mentioning.

This Bulls team is quite similar to this year's 76ers, they are both a pure one-man team and a team that belongs to only one person throughout!

But it was such a one-man team that was brought into the second round of the playoffs by Jordan and won 50 wins!

It was also from this season that Jordan officially began to become the league's top superstar!

And this year's Jordan may not have the skillful and indiscriminate back-to-back ability of the peak after that, and his ability to read the game and share the ball is not as good as his peak.

But his mid-range shooting, his ability to finish on breaks, and his ability to pull up and score at any time are definitely at an all-time level!

The current Lin Tian is in such a state!

Endless energy, high fighting spirit, skill and shooting range to get the ball into the basket anytime and anywhere from the 3-point line, plus terrifying impact and finishing ability!

While getting Jordan's abilities, Lin Tian himself has a 3-point shot and perfect vision, and his passing skills are also the top level in the league! Plus I'm afraid heavier than Jordan at the time and faster speed

To put it simply, now, or rather, Lin Tian in the next whole month is definitely stronger than Jordan back then!

The next month will be Lin Tian + Jordan!

In the history of the NBA, the two backcourts with the strongest offensive power and the most terrifying defensive ability have become one!

Williams?

Not to mention Jason Williams, even if the peak Jordan comes by himself, don't want to get benefits under the current Lin Tian!

If you look at it this way, Lin Tiangang said that Williams can only score 10 points with a 30% shooting rate, which is not trash talk.

This is definitely a hand for Williams!

In terms of Williams' ability, the standard would have to be lowered to 8 points and a 20% shooting percentage!

Under Lin Tian's targeted defense, Williams made 3 turnovers in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter! One of them was directly stealed by Lin Tian one-on-one in the backcourt, and then Lin Tian directly completed the layup!

In addition to 3 turnovers, Williams shot only 2 shots 0 of 0, did not score 1 point, and he did not send 1 assist, as a playmaking guard, Williams really played badly in the first five minutes of the first quarter!

And Lin Tian, who was opposite him, had a big kill in the past five minutes, not only scoring 3 steals, but also taking all the Pacers' scores!

He shot 7-of-8 and 1-of-1 3-pointer in five minutes, scoring 15 points in a row!

One person played a wave of 15:4 offensive climax!

"Lin's fangs are completely exposed!" After the Kings applied for the first timeout, Barkley couldn't help but say, "This is the leader!" That's what the best players in the league should do! When the team suffers an injury, when the team suffers a losing streak, that's how it should be! ”

"What tactics, what is reasonable, what is sharing the ball, get out! Give the ball to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will take you home! That's what a top leader should do when the team is in trouble! ”

"And Lin, I guess, Lin's madness is definitely not just these five minutes, and it is certainly not just this game! Until the Pacers' injured team returns, and until the Pacers get back on track, Forest's firepower won't relent! ”

"A tip from all fans Sir Charles: Don't miss a single game with the Pacers for at least the next month! Otherwise, you will definitely regret it! ”

As Barkley spoke, the game was suspended and players from both sides took to the pitch again.

Jason Williams was temporarily put on the bench by Adelman because of his terrible performance, and he was replaced by the team's sixth man, Bobby Jackson.

Jackson is more suitable as a scoring guard than a playmaking guard, and his style of play is a pure assaulter!

The responsibility of the Kings to organize the offense is also directly handed over to the hands of the forward of the organization, although Tekoglou is still a rookie this year, and his skills and abilities are far from reaching his peak.

But his talent for vision, playmaking and passing has been revealed, and he can organise the team's offense with ease, at least against defenders like Harrington.

In the first round after the Kings came back from a timeout, they played the Princeton tactic that Coach Adelman had carefully crafted for them!

Divac covered high and Tekoglu, then Tekoglu gave the ball to Divac, and then Jackson rushed up and Divac came with a hand-to-hand pass, and after taking the ball, Jackson continued to attack the inside.

Halfway through his run, he suddenly passed the ball sideways to Hojberg on the flank, who took the ball and struck it inside.

Peja, who cut to the middle distance, just grabbed the ball, and then pulled it up directly, his power forward-level height combined with his scoring guard-like feel, just like that, the pull-up jump shot, then Christie really can't help it.

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, the Kings finally broke their scoring drought.

"Doug, change the guard! I'm going to defend Peja. Lin Tian said directly after Peja's goal: "You go and deal with Bobby." ”

The leader is to defend the strongest opponent directly! Defend the best scorers on the opposite side!

Anyway, Williams is not there, Bobby Jackson is a pure assault point, hand him over to Christie, Lin Tian can rest assured!

After coming to the front court again, facing Jackson, who was much shorter than Williams, Lin Tian didn't do too much action, and after dribbling the ball under the two crotches, he directly collected the ball and pulled it up, and the super long 3 points were pulled up and thrown!

"Huh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored his 18th consecutive point!

Then when the Kings attacked, Lin Tian directly switched to Peja and stood with Peja, this time, when Peja wanted to attack Lin Tian with his off-ball skills and his height, he found that he couldn't get rid of Lin Tian, no matter how he used his off-ball skills, but Lin Tian could follow him to the death, so that he couldn't get the space to catch the ball.

Seeing that the Kings' tactics were about to run to death, Adelman on the court couldn't help it at all, he stood up and yelled: "You have a height advantage!" Height advantage, Peja! Sit him with his back! Jam him! It's stuck! ”

Hearing the head coach's prompt, Peja seemed to have a sudden thought, and immediately turned around and stuck Lin Tian, reaching out to ask for the ball.

Lin Tian gave enough confrontation behind Peja, and Peja was extremely uncomfortable.

"Bang!"

Peja dribbled backwards and tried her strength.

But after slamming out, he felt that he had hit not a person at all, but a wall that was difficult to destroy!

Not only did he fail to advance towards the inside line, but he was also hit by Lin Tian and took a step back!

The farther you hit the basket, the farther you go!

“FUXX!”

Peja scolded, quickly changed his offensive thinking, and after dribbling towards Lin Tian for a while, Peja turned around directly, and then quickly collected the ball and wanted to make a direct turn and jump shot!

According to his thoughts, he has an absolute height advantage, and after pulling up the shot, he can definitely avoid Lin Tian's defense and interference to complete the shot.

But here's the problem...... Will he be able to shoot?

Apparently not!

"Smack!"

At the moment when Peja jumped up and closed the ball, Lin Tian saw the opportunity and slapped it viciously and directly!

The basketball in Peja's hand immediately lost control and disappeared, and his whole person lost his center of gravity because of this blow, and he almost fell directly!

And Lin Tian had already dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack again towards the front court!

Jackson, Hojberg and Tekoglou The three Kings players completed the retreat at the first time, and the attention of the three of them was all on Lin Tian, Hojberg and Jackson were in front, Tekoglu was behind, and the three of them went all out to prevent Lin Tian from scoring!

In the face of the three of them, Lin Tian's choice was extremely calm and decisive!

He suddenly stopped two steps into the 3-point line, then pulled up directly, and shot again with a mid-range pullup jumper!

"Huh!"

It's 20 minutes! (End of chapter)
