Coach Lee

Chapter 411 You Ruined This Game!
Soon, the fourth game of the series came.

In this game, Larry Brown, who persisted for three games, finally chose to change.

Ben Wallace and Mutombo started at the same time, and the 76ers added their defense to the strongest.

Pippen, Snow, Ben Wallace, and Mutombo focus on defense.Iverson focused on offense alone.

In this last stand, the two sides fell into an unprecedented hand-to-hand combat, the hit rate was quite low, and the score was also quite low.

In the last few minutes, the game also became a test of the strength of their respective core players.

The 76ers are Iverson and the Pacers are Li Nan.

The two keep playing singles, you score a goal, I give you back a goal, each fights, constantly overtakes, overtakes again, overtakes again
In the last 8 seconds, Iverson suddenly broke out from the chaotic army and made a decisive mid-range shot, leaving Li Nan with the last 1.2 seconds.

The Pacers tactical arrangement was given to Li Nan.

The 76ers saw through the Pacers' tactics and kept an eye on Li Nan.

Although Li Nan got the ball, the shot was not easy.At the last moment, Li Nan forced a shot against Pippen's "close" defense, and the lore three-point shot came out.

72-70
With a narrow victory over the Pacers by 2 points, the 76ers struggled to regain a victory.

In the fifth game, the 76ers returned to the home court and it was still a desperate battle.

The 76ers still want to continue the style of play of the previous game, just to slow down the rhythm and let the two sides fall into infinite hand-to-hand combat.

Of course the Pacers disagreed. They deliberately made fast round trips, and insisted on round trips even if they made mistakes.

As soon as the game started, the Pacers played a pretty good offense, 12-6, directly opening up a small 6-point lead.

However, at this moment, an unpleasant whistle suddenly sounded on the field.

beep!
The Pacers fouled No. 10!
Number 10!It was Li Nan!

When defending Iverson and Pippen's pick-and-roll, Li Nan habitually squeezed through the top lane, which is between Pippen and Iverson.

Everyone knows that you must not go down the road and go around to defend Iverson.If you go down the road, Iverson will definitely beat you into a sieve.It's not a direct projection, but it's playing you directly after you come over.

Li Nan is absolutely unwilling to be Iverson's background emperor.

It's just that Li Nan used to defend like this every time he went on the road, but today he was suddenly treated differently.

This sudden foul immediately put the Pacers into a passive position.

Because Li Nan already had a tactical foul before, and now that he has committed two fouls, the Pacers will have to adjust their style of play.

After Li Nan went down, in the last 7 minutes of the first quarter, Reggie Miller led the team to play.

The 76ers stared at Reggie Miller and grabbed the Pacers by the throat.

When the first quarter ended, the score became 23-31, and the 76ers led by 8 points at home.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers did not have two guns on the field, and the 76ers took the opportunity to slowly open the score.

Back in the 4th minute, the score has come to 13 points.

At this time, Li Nan and Reggie Miller came back together.As soon as the two guns came back, the Pacers had the backbone, and the Pacers also took the opportunity to chase points.

However, another sharp whistle blew to stop the game.

The Pacers drew a foul on No. 10.

"Putting foul? This is a checkhand! Is this a foul? Huh? Is this how you call the game?"

On a rare occasion, Li Nan lost his temper on the court and yelled at the referee.

The referee was really the assistant referee for the game, Tim Donaghy.

Whenever this person appears, the game will always be a little bit turbulent.

Without any surprise, Donaghy rewarded Li Nan with a technical foul.

Li Nan pushed forward directly, condescendingly contemptuously against Donaghy, and kept spraying, "This is what the league calls fair and just? Tim Donaghy! You idiot! You ruined this game." !you."

Li Nan just said a few more words, and Reggie Miller behind him rushed over and hugged Li Nan quickly.

"Calm down! Li, you have to calm down!"

Not only Reggie Miller, but many teammates stopped Li Nan and tried to persuade him.

Larry Bird even found the referee in a good voice.

Seeing this, Li Nan also shook his head. These people didn't understand what he meant, they all thought they were impulsive.

"Oh~~~"

The obvious arrangement of this game is a foul that interrupts the rhythm from time to time. Even Pippen can turn a blind eye when he dribbles the ball and hits his foot on the back. Can you not see that this is arranged?As veteran players, you should not persuade me to calm down at this time, but should put pressure on the referee.And head coach Larry Bird, shouldn't he stand up and lead by example at this critical moment?If there is no pressure at this time, what is the possibility of the second half?
When Li Nan walked off the stage, Larry Bird patted him on the shoulder. However, Li Nan stopped beside Larry Bird, covered his mouth with one hand, and said something in Larry Bird's ear.

On the opposite side, Iverson looked at Li Nan puzzled.Li Nan has always been calm, and Li Nan who lost his temper like this was really beyond Iverson's expectations.

"Li really wants to win."

Off the court, Bubuvich also said, "Li is still too young."

Larry Brown on the side sighed, "Oh, you guys are so young."

Bubvich didn't understand at all that Larry Brown was talking about his own people.

The game continues.

What people didn't expect was that the Pacers lost Li Nan, but Reggie Miller suddenly broke out.

With a sudden three-pointer, a layup from the bottom line, an air cut, and a reverse run, Reggie Miller scored 10 points in a row with every opportunity!
The Pacers directly narrowed the point difference to 8 points!
Just when the Pacers were chasing points, when Reggie Miller was about to run out of opportunities again,
beep!
A whistle sounded again.

Schmitz, who screened for Reggie Miller, was called a moving screen foul.

Schmitz held his head innocently, and was really unbelievable about this penalty.

It was also at this time that someone exploded off the court.

"What?" Larry Bird said loudly, using up his loudest voice, and went directly to the referee.

"Is this what you whistled? My players didn't move at all. This is a foul? Are you deliberately targeting us? You."

The roaring Larry Bird walked towards the referee, and the five Reggie Miller followed behind.However, this time, no one was pulling Larry Bird, but following behind one after another as a boost.

Seeing that there were so many people, the referee also tried to persuade him with kind words.

Larry Bird is even more exciting.

"None of you referees can escape, I want to sue you"

The referee also blew his whistle immediately, and rewarded Larry Bird with a technical foul.

As if realizing something, Larry Bird was persuaded by the assistant coach and pulled back, but Larry Bird was still pointing at the referee endlessly, growling something very dissatisfied.

A small farce interrupted the live game for a while, and also allowed the 76ers to score 1 point for no reason.

When the game came back again, the Pacers players on the court played more seriously.

The Pacers, who are united as one, relied on a lineup without Li Nan to hold the main force of the 76ers abruptly.

At halftime, 45-53, the 76ers lead by 8 points!
