NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 290 The Spurs twin towers are unstoppable! The Pacers' choice!

After Lin Tian steadily hit the free throw and scored 3+1, the difference between the two sides was reduced to 3 points. Although the Pacers had not yet taken the lead, there were still 5 minutes left in the game.

But Lin Tian's 30-point explosion in 9 seconds obviously scared the entire Suns team.

Too fast and too exaggerated!

The Suns' morale was also shattered by Lin Tian's wave. Although they were still in the lead, they could never regain their form. Whether it was Robinson or Rogers, they suddenly lost their focus. , those shots that were easy to hit in the first three quarters suddenly became impossible.

With the entire team losing focus, the Suns only scored a pitiful 5 points in the last 30 minutes and 4 seconds of the fourth quarter, 2 of which were scored by Kidd when the victory or defeat was decided. After no longer defending, he rushed to the basket and gained points for nothing.

The Suns were completely blown away in the last five minutes!

113: 108!

Although the Pacers only won by 5 points in the end, the temperament and tough attitude they showed in the second half of the fourth quarter showed how much they wanted this victory!

其中最大的功臣，当然是30秒内连砍9分，第四节轰下16分，全场比赛33分13助攻7篮板的林天！

韦伯在这個晚上也拿下了20分10篮板4助攻的漂亮数据，另外卡特则是拿下16分5篮板3助攻！

For the Suns, Kidd had a weird double-double of 4 points, 16 rebounds, 20 assists and 4 steals. He really couldn't score, but he could really find open teammates. However, when his teammates were all beaten by his opponents After guarding against it, Kidd's threat will plummet rapidly!

Robinson and Rogers played a good 37 minutes tonight and almost dragged the Pacers into the abyss. However, in the last 5 minutes of the game, they suddenly misfired and failed to score a single point!

At this time, Suns fans will inevitably think of Hardaway. If Hardaway is here, maybe they can think of some ways to score?

But no matter what, the Suns, who had high hopes, failed to stop the Pacers. They were shot down from mid-air by the Pacers. The Pacers' winning streak reached 31 games!

This is already the second longest winning streak in NBA history!

But obviously, whether they are the Pacers players, coaches or fans, they are not satisfied with this!

Their goal is to win at least 34 consecutive games!

The winning streak has reached this point. No one likes to suddenly lose the game with just one last goal. The first winning streak in history must be obtained!

As for Richmond, he accepted the task of being a shooter, using his shooting range throughout the half-court and offensive ability without blind spots to complete some pure finishing work in various areas of the court! He did quite well. In these 30 games, Richmond averaged 14.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game!

Now, what they need to do is to calm down and focus all their attention on the Spurs!

Because it was a back-to-back game, after playing against the Suns, the Pacers got on the plane directly and went to San Antonio, where they rested for a night. The next morning, Bird did not arrange any training or let the players gather. , but it was not until after lunch that he gathered everyone together for a routine pre-match analysis meeting.

Although they failed to enter the finals, they have been the top team in the Western Conference for more than ten consecutive years!

After acquiring Duncan, the Spurs finally got their chance. The twin towers of Duncan and Robinson inside are infinitely powerful and can be regarded as the top in the league on both offense and defense.

After hearing Bird say this, Miller, who was sitting in the audience, snorted disdainfully.

For Bird, who is so arrogant to the point of being crazy, to remain humble, Lin Tian is probably the only one in the entire league who can do it.

"I also beat him to the grandson a few times." Bird smiled, quickly flipped through his tactical book and said: "Then there are the Spurs' most difficult to deal with, and the twin towers inside that everyone thinks they are invincible. Duncan And Robinson!”

Back-to-back away games against the Spurs!

"Then there's Tim Duncan! The true leader of the Spurs today, and also the most difficult guy to deal with in the Spurs!"

"As for Johnson, their point guard..."

"Well, of course, there are also some bad effects. For example, if you play like him, then it is very likely that when you are about to win the All-Star Game MVP, your fans will suddenly turn against you and support the opponent! They would rather lose. It’s an All-Star game, and I don’t want to see a guy like you win the All-Star MVP!”

"understand!"

He remained humble at all times.

"But in the Spurs, he is indeed a sharp knife. His shooting and range can really pierce the opponent's heart! If you underestimate him, don't give him a chance to take action easily!"

Bird's last words made the Pacers players burst into laughter. They all thought of the last few minutes of this year's All-Star Game when the Oakland fans booed Duncan for fear that he would win the MVP.

Two absolute badass teams!

So far this season, the Warriors have won 14 games and the Cavaliers have won 16 games. The two teams have won 30 games in total!

And what about the Pacers? They have won 59 games! Almost enough for these two teams to win two seasons together!

Of course, for the Pacers, it's too early to think about what happens next. If they fall in front of the Spurs, everything that happens next will be empty.

"He is no longer a top star at the MVP level, nor a top ten star in the league, but he is still a very special player. Give him space and opportunities, and he can still score 20+10 goals at any time. Data! If you underestimate him, you will definitely suffer!"

When Bird said this, Carter, who was sitting below, couldn't help laughing and said: "My benefactor, without him I wouldn't be able to come to Indiana."

Second shooting guard? This guy who has played in the playoffs three times in his career and spent most of his time in the lottery is the second shooting guard?

The data of these two people have significantly declined compared to their own in the first half of the season, but they have achieved the best efficiency and the highest winning rate in their careers!

For Lin Tian...well, when dealing with Lin Tian, ​​Bird sometimes asked himself whether it was right to do so.

This season, the Spurs are making a comeback with only one goal, which is to win the damn championship!

Popovich and general manager Buford also learned from the experience and decided that there was absolutely no problem with the team's inside line. It was the league's number one inside line combination. What they lacked was the outside line! Therefore, in the middle of this season, the team made a bold move, using multiple draft picks and several players on the team to buy two attackers, Richmond and Jaylen Rose!

The Spurs formed their four kings! Moreover, for these two people, the Spurs bought at bargain prices and did not pay a big price. Rose is because of his unscrupulous words. The entire league thinks that he is a troublemaker and a cancer, and Richmond is even more so. The team has not made the playoffs for many years, and the reputations of both of them have reached the bottom of their careers.

These two guys have integrated very well!

The Spurs' gamble seems to be a bargain-hunting success so far. They bought two star-level scorers at a low price. The team is no longer as top-heavy as last season!
