Chapter 143 A pass set off the world!The ultimate showdown in the last 3 minutes! Through the slow-motion replay, especially the replay from the behind-the-back perspective, Su Qun and the majority of fans finally understood how Lin Tian passed the ball!
The left hand is a normal pass from behind!
But just as the basketball left his hand and flew to the right, his right elbow swung toward the back of his body.
Then the basketball accurately hit Lin Tian's elbow and flew towards the other side. Then Hill caught the ball, started, and dunked!
"Oh God! What did he do! What did he do!" Marcus, who was also commentating at the scene, went completely crazy. He could only repeat a few simple words in a monotonous tone: "God, can you get out of the woods?" Get out of your body! You can’t bully people like this! It’s too exaggerated!”
Smith's condition is not much better than Marcus. He is even more exaggerated than Marcus: "The first pass in history! The first in history! No ball can compare with this ball! If you want to Choose the number one assist in NBA history. Anyone who doesn’t rank this ball number one, I will treat him as an idiot!"
"Who can refuse such a crazy pass?"
"Da Liu! Do you know how to spread the word like this? Do you know how?" Dayao's eyes lit up! Seeing Lin Tian's elbow pass, he became completely excited.
"I know nothing! Besides, even if I know how to pass, can you catch it?" Liu Wei sounded disdainful, but standing behind Dayao dribbling, he had already tried this on the spot. action.
Behind the back, elbows, reverse passes.
It’s done in one go, it’s not difficult! Yes, it's not difficult! The technical content of this pass, compared to Lin Tian's ultra-long-distance passes, forced passes when being double-teamed, and those passes that require timing and strength in positional battles, is actually just that.
Even a rookie who has only played basketball for a few months can barely imitate this action.
If professional players really want to practice, they can master its power generation method and basic passing angles in half an hour at most.
The action itself is not difficult at all!
But the easier it is, the more amazing it is.
Why did no one pass it like this before Lin Tian? No one used this action?
Just like Einstein's mass-energy equation, this is a formula that junior high school students can understand, but what about before Einstein calculated it? Another example is the heliocentric theory. In the Middle Ages, this was a truth that required scientists to defend with their lives, but now, it is common sense that all kindergarten children know.
This is the greatness and difficulty of being a pioneer! It is much harder to create than to imitate! Lin Tian is so bold!
Who dares to bring this kind of pass to the NBA and the All-Star Game? How crazy a person must be to dare to perform such actions on such a stage! "Change! Change the LOGO for me!" In New York, the three founders of AND 1 were sitting together. Austin shouted loudly without even thinking: "Lin's shoes will all use a new LOGO from now on! Just use his elbow to pass The movement of the ball! Just change it!"
"This ball will definitely set a whole trend! Starting tomorrow morning, countless children will rush to the court to study this action and try to imitate this pass."
Berg was obviously equally excited and said with a bad smile: "Then I can only feel sorry for the children who are catching the ball. They will receive unreliable passes from all angles tomorrow!"
At this time in Indiana, Bird and the Pacers boss were sitting together. Bird's eyes lit up after seeing Lin Tian's pass: "If you hire me to be the president and head coach of the team, I will The first thing we do is to take down Lin at all costs this offseason!"
"He and Reggie are definitely a better match than Lin and Michael!"
In Los Angeles, West couldn't help but cursed, then looked at the magician sitting next to him and said: "You said before that you would be surpassed by this kid. I thought you were just joking, just to pull him away." to Los Angeles, but now I really feel that he can surpass you!"
"Is it because of this goal?" The magician still had a smile on his face, and he was not upset at all because his good friend said that he would be surpassed.
"This one was just the one that really convinced me of this, his performance throughout January, his performance in last year's playoffs, the courage he showed every time the team was in trouble. And the big heart, those passes he makes on offense..."
When West said this, he paused and said: "With all due respect to Ervin, he has everything you have, but you don't have the things he has! Speed, flexibility, defensive plasticity, shooting touch... …You are not good at these things.”
At this time, the Quicken Loans Center Arena was still in a crazy atmosphere. The cheers and applause of the fans still did not stop, and the entire stadium, ringing from all directions at this time, was all Lin Tian's name! And it’s not just the fans who are crazy!
In the front row of the auditorium, there were many players who had participated in various individual events and rookie games in the past two days. Kobe's eyes widened at this moment and he kept applauding. With Kobe's character, this guy is very likely to Bajiuhui will practice hard after the game. He wants to put this trick into actual combat! Next to Kobe was the Lakers boss O'Neal, who was unable to participate in the All-Star Game due to injury but also came to the scene.
This big man who loved to play tricks stood upright now, making a fist with one hand and a palm with the other, and gave Lin Tian an ancient Chinese chivalrous salute.
Iverson even jumped up from the bench and kept jumping on the spot to express his shock.
……
On the bench, this time, even Trill Brandon, the point guard from the Cavaliers, was not unhappy at all, because Lin Tian's goal just now was really amazing!
He is also a guard known for his speed, passing, vision and fancy tricks. He understands better than anyone else what it takes to perform such fancy tricks in a flash of lightning on a court like the NBA. How difficult it is.
Therefore, this guy raised his head at the moment, watching the replay of that moment again and again, and then couldn't help but start to wonder if he could pass such a wonderful ball if he was the one holding the ball.
Hill, who had always been gentle and elegant, was so excited that he didn't want to sit on the bench. He kept shaking his head in front of Lin Tian and said: "Thank you Lin! Thank you! Great round! You let me play in such a great round. , became the final end point!”
"Grant, you should be lucky that you dunked the ball. If you had missed the ball, you would have been hated by the fans for ten years!" Lin Tian smiled and fist bumped Hill. He was able to make this NBA player in his heart The most unexpected moment was completed, and Lin Tian was happier than anyone else!
Guys like Ewing, Miller and Pippen were even more excited and cheered loudly, and then came to chat with Lin Tian from time to time to express their admiration for this pass! Even not only the Eastern Conference, but also the Western Conference All-Star Team, you can faintly hear Barkley and others talking loudly, describing Lin Tian's incredible fast break pass just now.
Neither Sloan nor Riley had the opportunity to deploy any tactics during this timeout.
The players are so excited! Fortunately, tonight is the All-Star Game after all, and the two head coaches have nothing to arrange. Even the rigid and rigorous Sloan, who dislikes this kind of work the least in the league, kept nodding at Lin Tian's goal. .
But after nodding, this guy immediately pulled two disciples, Karl Malone and Stockton, and said in their ears: "If we enter the finals, are you two sure to deal with Lin?"
"I will let him know what a man's battlefield is! The finals are not a place for circus clowns to perform." In Ma Long's heart, he deeply remembered the humiliation Lin Tian brought to him in last year's All-Star Game.
Last summer, he didn't even go to practice. Instead, he found a master in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and worked hard with him on the ground skills! Ma Long always felt that the last time he was instantly killed by Lin Tian was due to his carelessness, Lin Tian's sneak attack and his lack of ground skills! Ma Long was holding his breath, but he was ready!
Be prepared to give Lin Tian a few hard blows on the field!He worked hard to save his face.
"There's no need to get yourself suspended Karl." His old partner Stockton immediately saw Malone's thoughts. He looked at Lin Tian opposite him with a cold face and said slowly: "I have a hundred ways to make him He couldn't play, and we didn't have to be suspended."
"If he dares to do this kind of thing in the finals, I guarantee that he will be carried off the field."
Sloan nodded and said: "That's it, remember, what we want is the championship, other things don't matter! People will only remember the championship, not other things!"
As the timeout came to an end, the emotions of the fans at the scene finally calmed down. The coaches of both sides did not make substitutions during this timeout, nor did they arrange any tactics. It seemed that this round was to let the fans and Players, go and celebrate Lin Tian’s pass!
Lin Tian's elbow pass also has a disadvantage.
That is, in the next game, no matter whether the players on the court are flying dunks, super long 3-pointers, or performing some gorgeous street ball moves, they will not get an overly enthusiastic response from the fans.
The fans at the scene felt as if they had entered the Sage's Time after being released. Their threshold was raised too high by Lin Tian's goal, which made them somewhat absent-minded about the subsequent performance.
The fans' 'sage mode' gradually reduced the interest of the players.
This All-Star Game felt as if it was over after Lin Tian's elbow pass.
Both players and fans found it a bit boring.
And this boring feeling lasted until the last three minutes of the game!
As the game entered the final 3 minutes, Riley called a timeout.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 121:118!
The Western team still leads by 3 points! "Guys, I know you are all a little anxious and want to get off work. We did not play well in the past two quarters, but what I want to say is that it is the last three minutes and you really don't want to work harder. Son, do you want to win the game?"
Riley looked at the stars and said slowly: "Based on what I know about that old bastard Sloan, he will definitely let these two bastards Malone and Stockton play next, and there is a high probability that he will also play Payton. , Sprewell and Olajuwon! I don’t need to tell you what this lineup means.”
"These five people are the five most defensive, toughest and least suitable to play in the All-Star Game in the West right now!"
"They want to win, they want to humiliate us! They want to beat us in the last three minutes! So, now it's your idea. Do you want to win? Do you want to get kicked in the butt by those bastards on the opposite side?"
"Of course not!" Jordan chewed gum and said, "I never want to lose!"
"Fuck them!"
"How can a bunch of Western idiots beat us in Cleveland?"
"Pat, you assign it, no matter who goes up, we will crush them!"
Seeing these stars expressing their opinions, Riley nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Lin, Michael, Glenn, Vin and Chris, you five come on!"
The five people Riley named are not all tonight's starting players, but if you look at the data, you can see that these five people are the five best performers in the Eastern Conference tonight! 林天已经拿下16分19次助攻，他距离魔术师22次助攻的历史记录，已经只剩下3次了！同时他还有机会拿下NBA全明星赛历史上的第一个双20两双！
Jordan scored 18 points, Vin Baker scored 17 points and 10 rebounds. As for the relatively unknown Glenn Rice, he broke out tonight and scored 24 points! Finally, Chris Webber, although he only scored 12 points, he also had 9 rebounds and 8 assists!I also scored a near triple-double tonight.
Not to mention the natural cooperation and understanding between him and Lin Tian. If Riley wants to win, putting Weber and Lin Tian on the court at the same time will definitely have an unparalleled advantage and create a great chemical reaction.
This formation can also be seen in Riley's employment style, which is eclectic and does not depend on reputation. Whoever plays well will be promoted!
As the timeout ended, the five players from the East took the field side by side. The five players from the West turned out exactly as Riley predicted! It is the double guard of Olajuwon, Malone, Sprewell plus Payton and Stockton!
At least in terms of formation, Riley completely saw through Sloan!
The final battle between the two sides... has officially begun! The first wave of possession after returning from the temporary substitution was the Eastern Team's possession. Lin Tian dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt. Jordan, who was in the low post, couldn't wait to get into position and pinned Payton firmly behind him.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate, and the basketball was immediately given to Jordan. Jordan didn't even move after taking the ball, and just turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper! 121: 120!
The Eastern team is only 1 point away from catching up! "Gary, you are no longer fingerless gloves! You should call yourself wrist guards now! One behind the other, two big holes! Your defense is easier to separate than the legs of a street girl!" After the goal, Jordan He immediately started talking rubbish at Payton, which successfully made the atmosphere between the two sides even more intense.
The Western team's baseline ball was quickly sent to Stockton, but before he could dribble, Lin Tian had already rushed over.
The audience is pressing! In the last 3 minutes, the intensity must be increased!
"Come on, old dog! Let me see how many ways you can do it. Without Malone, can you get past even one person in your life?" Lin Tian clung to Stockton while opening his mouth and spitting wildly.
Who is Stockton who is willing to suffer a loss?While turning his back to protect the basketball, he used his elbow to find the opportunity and hit Lin Tian's stomach.
Lin Tian, who had already seen that Stockton was going to do something dirty, was not to be outdone. He received an elbow and raised his hand to pinch Stockton's waist hard.
"FUXX!" Stockton yelled after feeling the pain, then turned to the referee and said: "Are you blind! Isn't this ball a foul? Can't you see what he did to me? The All-Star Can I commit a foul without calling it?"
"Shut up, bitch! If you don't have time to complain, you might as well think about how to score the ball!" Lin Tian mocked disdainfully: "Or I can give you an anti-bullying complaint phone number across the United States? Just call it and just Are you saying that your immature little sweetheart was severely hurt by me? Or, before that, you have to let Ma Long come up and give you some protection?"
"Shut up! You're a novice who only knows how to quarrel! Do you think I don't dare to fight you one-on-one?" Stockton cursed. His original plan was to have Ma Long come over immediately after scolding Lin Tian. Do your own pick-and-rolls.
It's a dirty trick, Stockton is the ancestor of the league.
But before he finished speaking, and before Malone came up, Jordan rushed up first! Lin Tian's defensive intensity also improved again in an instant. He and Jordan were on the left and right, and the two of them clung to Stockton.
Lin Tian's strike was also fast and ruthless. The moment Jordan came up, he had already spotted the opportunity and slapped him. With a 'pop' sound, he hit Stockton on the arm! No matter how steadily Stockton dribbled, he was unable to control the basketball again after being slapped by Lin Tian. Jordan snatched the ball into his arms, dribbling the ball and sprinting towards the frontcourt. The gliding dunk ended the attack! 121: 122!
The Eastern team took the lead by one point! "FUXX! What are you doing! If you think the All-Star Game does not need referees, you can get out of the game instead of pretending here!" Stockton, who had suffered a big loss, spread his hands with a look on his face. An unhappy squirt at the referee.
"If you don't get out immediately, I can make you the first guy to be ejected in the history of the All-Star Game." The referee looked at Stockton without showing any signs of weakness. What he just saw was very clear. It was you, Stockton, who gave you the elbow first, and then Lin Tiancai responded with a claw.
If you can't bear the loss and insist on complaining, then don't blame us for ignoring them and beating your hands.
The All-Star Game is not just for players and fans to relax and take a vacation.
The referees are also here to have fun. On this night, they are not too lazy to call violations such as walking, 3 seconds, and second luck. They are also too lazy to call some fouls.
Having fun, keeping the game flowing, and getting off work early are the referees' biggest demands tonight.
You, Stockton, are so rude on a day like this, do you really think you are a smart guy?
Then I can only give you justice from heaven!Stockton saw that the referee was completely unprepared to pay attention to him, and he also knew that he could only swallow his anger tonight, and he would definitely suffer the consequences of being mute.
Fortunately, he is also an old man, and he knows that the last thing he can do at this time is the boss, so he doesn't say a word to the referee and gets involved in the game again.
Although the Eastern Conference scored 4 points in a row, this time the Western Conference handed the ball to Payton, who carried it to the frontcourt and gave it to Olajuwon immediately.
The Western team finally had Olajuwon forcefully hit Vin Baker in the low post, helping the team overtake the score again! For the next two full minutes, it was you and me, neither letting anyone go, and no one being able to guard against the other!
The offensive efficiency of both sides reached a terrifying level at this time. For two full minutes, neither side missed a single shot. When the game came to the last minute, the point difference between the two sides was still only 2 point! 133: 132!
The Western team leads by 1 point, and the ball belongs to the Eastern team.
Lin Tian once again dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Stockton's rapid pressing, Lin Tian suddenly smiled and said: "Old dog, I heard that you are the best at this, or the only thing you can do. , just a pick-and-roll?"
"What? You want to learn? Call me dad, and I can consider teaching you!" Stockton stood ready and stayed close to Lin Tian to prevent him from suddenly breaking through or shooting.
"No, I want to teach you a lesson and let you know what a pick-and-roll is." Lin Tian grinned, raised his left hand and patted the top of his head.
Chris Webber immediately rushed out from the inside and blocked Stockton.
Lin Tian accelerated immediately! Squeezing past Weber, he got rid of Stockton in one step.
"Change defense!" Ma Long was already prepared, shouted, and stood in front of Lin Tian.
But Lin Tian didn't confront Malone at all. He didn't even break through. Instead, he took two steps to one side along the three-point line. After pulling away, he suddenly passed the ball from behind and passed it back to the top of the arc. Weber.
Malone thought Lin Tian was trying to get Webb to misplace his old partner in singles. Without hesitation, he moved towards the top of the arc again, hoping to help Stockton defend.
But he ignored Lin Tian!
Even when Weber made a one-handed pass and passed the basketball into the inside, Malone discovered that Lin Tian had cut to the area below the free throw line without knowing when!
Fortunately, the Western team still has Olajuwon. As the recognized No. [-] center in the league, Olajuwon moved quickly and stood in front of Lin Tian.
But in the next scene, even Olajuwon's eyes widened in disbelief.
Because the moment the basketball came into Lin Tian’s hands...
Lin Tian didn't dribble or collect the ball. He didn't even let the basketball completely come under his control!
The moment Lin Tian's right hand came into contact with the basketball, he suddenly exerted force and slapped the basketball out again!
"Snapped!"
Olajuwon clearly heard the crisp sound after the basketball was shot, and then watched the basketball change direction and fly towards the other side.
Glenn Rice, who followed up, picked up the basketball, stood up from the ground, and flew towards the basket without hesitation! "boom!"
After a bang, Rice yelled excitedly at the basket. This was already his 26th point, surpassing Jordan's 24 points and becoming the highest-scoring member in the Eastern Conference!
According to the tradition of the All-Star Game, if the Eastern Conference wins, he who scores the highest score will most likely become the MVP of this All-Star Game!
"What a ball! So beautiful!" Su Qun exclaimed excitedly after dunking the ball in: "Non-stop, non-stop hand on the ball, smooth and beautiful coordination like mercury falling to the ground! Three passes, each one more beautiful than the last!" More exciting than the other one!”
Song Shixiong couldn't help but said: "I really wonder now whether these two guys, Lin Tian and Weber, have known each other for a long time, and whether they have played many games together! How can they have such a tacit understanding? So good? How can the game be so enjoyable to watch?"
"22 assists! 22nd assist! Tying the historical record! Lin has tied the historical record!" Marcus shouted excitedly: "There are still 45 seconds left in the game! Can Lin break the historical record?"
Smith said: "It is great to create new history, but to be honest, compared to those stiff and cold numbers, Lin's game tonight and the wonderful moments he contributed are more worthy of our memory and aftertaste!"
Marcus looked like he was completely on fire at this moment. He was in a state of excitement and said excitedly: "No matter what, in the last 45 seconds, the Eastern team once again led by 1 point! Let's see, in the end What will happen, how will this game end?"
The Western team had the ball, and they once again gave the ball to Olajuwon.
This time Olajuwon was just about to play singles when Rice's double team arrived!But what makes Da Meng the best in the world is that in addition to his singles and defense, his passing and supporting skills are also among the best in the league!
The moment Rice rushed over, Olajuwon's pass had already passed his ear and flew into Sprewell's hands!
The 'Madman' caught the ball and threw it away. A crisp mid-range jumper hit the basket accurately! 135: 134!
Western team, overtaking again!
The fans throughout Quicken Loans Center were about to tear down the ceiling of the arena!
This All-Star game has been full of twists and turns so far, from the exciting confrontation between the two sides in the first half to Lin Tian's elbow pass in the third quarter, which raised everyone's threshold and caused the fans and players to lose interest. The entire second half of the third quarter and most of the fourth quarter seemed a bit dull.
But in the last 3 minutes of the game, with the tight score between the two sides and the super high shooting percentage, the game became more and more interesting, and the more the fight became more fierce! At this moment, the players on both sides have become really angry, and everyone’s eyes are murderous. I don’t know when this game started. It is no longer a show, but a game that both sides must try their best to win. The battle of dignity! At this time, Riley called another timeout. In the last 30 seconds, he had to call a timeout no matter what, and arrange tactics. As a coach, he had to do some work again when paddling.
Seeing everyone standing in front of him, Riley suddenly smiled and said: "Lin, you are the point guard. How about you arrange the last attack?"
"I?"
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, when did the 'divine fortune teller' become so enlightened?No matter how you listen to these words, they sound more like the words coming from Jackson’s mouth.
However, looking at Riley's encouraging gaze, a group of people around him did not object. Lin Tian was not polite. He took the tactical board and started drawing tactics. While drawing, he quickly talked about how to move. If the second How to carry out plan B if a set of tactics does not come out.
As the timeout ended, ten players from both sides took to the court again. This time, neither side chose to substitute. Obviously, they had to use these 10 players to finish the last 30 seconds!
"Lin actually stood on the sideline! Weber was right next to him. This should be a tactic of giving the ball to the big man, and then Lin and Weber would cooperate hand in hand, and then look for opportunities to break the opponent's defense!" Marcus only said After taking a look at the positions on the court, I started to guess the Eastern team's tactics in this round.
Smith followed up and analyzed: "It should be about the same. Jordan, Rice and Baker are all near the baseline, and the entire Eastern team's formation is very open! This kind of position will make the Western Conference's defense very difficult and difficult to completely contain. Side kick for East.”
"Dudu!"
The referee blew the whistle, the basketball was given to Lin Tian, and other people on the court also started running.
First came Weber, who moved in the direction of Lin Tian, as if he was about to reach out to catch the ball.
Then Jordan and Rice on the baseline ran toward the basket from both sides at the same time. Then Jordan suddenly changed direction and moved up the line, while Rice continued to run wildly along the baseline.
Seeing that the 5-second serving time was about to come, the Eastern team's tactics suddenly changed again! Jordan suddenly turned around and ran back near the free throw line. At the same time, he used Baker's screen to cut towards the basket again!
At the same time, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand also flew towards the basket! After the basketball drew a very beautiful arc in the air, Jordan jumped up high, took the basketball with both hands, and smashed it towards the basket! "boom!"
It only took the Eastern team less than 1 second to overtake again!
At this time, Olajuwon was still struggling with Baker near the free throw line, and Payton was blocked by Baker, trailing Jordan by a full 2 positions.
Sprewell was lifted out of the paint by Rice, and Malone and Stockton were also entangled with Lin Tian and Webber near the top of the arc.
Lin Tian's tactics completely disrupted the Western team's defense! Speaking of which, it's just a few extremely simple tactics of counter-running, screening and air-cutting.
But just a few times, coupled with Lin Tian's perfect pass, this wonderful moment of scoring immediately became a classic!
"What a beautiful move! Coach Riley's skill is really extraordinary!" Su Qun couldn't help but admired: "Although they are all superstars, they are a group of people who have never played together before. Let such a group of people perform such wonderful cooperation at this time of the game!"
"The divine fortune teller is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Marcus from CBS also took advantage of Sloan to call the team's last timeout and spoke highly of this tactic: "The movement in this round is really beautiful! Let's watch the replay again. !”
"Look, Jordan is the first opportunity! But if Payton or Olajuwon keeps up with Jordan but there is a communication problem, Baker will immediately get a chance in the mid-range! At the same time, Rice on the baseline has also begun to move towards Baker. Directional movement, judging from the timing of the serve, he can also directly catch the ball in the mid-range after picking and rolling with Baker!"
"And if these three people don't get the chance to defeat the enemy with one blow, then it will be the turn of Lin Tian and Webber to fight Malone and Stockton in the high post!"
"I can only say that a serving tactic can give five people a chance to catch the ball and score, and everyone has a chance to finish. Who will do it depends on where the Western team's defense has problems! I can only say: Riley deserves it. He is a top coach who has led his team to win 4 championships and won three best head coaches!"
"A simple tactic that shows the skills of a championship-level coach!"
It was not just these commentators who kept praising Riley during this timeout. Commentators from all over the world, industry insiders, professional coaches, players, and reporters watching the game. No one was wrong about Riley. I am full of praise for this tactic arranged by Li! It was not until the timeout of the Western Team was about to end that Su Qun suddenly shouted while looking at the technical statistics: "The pass just now was Lin Tian's 23rd assist! He has already broken the Magic's record. The historical record set by Johnson in the 1984 All-Star Game!"
"23 assists! The single-game assist record in NBA All-Star history belongs to Lin Tian from today on! 23 times! Remember this great number! 23 times! This record belongs to the Chinese!"
"It's not just 23 assists." Song Shixiong also looked at the technical statistics and said: "Lin Tian still scored 18 points today! Judging from the current score and time of both sides, Lin Tian still has a chance to score! "
"If he can grasp it, then Lin Tian can become the first person in the history of NBA All-Stars to complete 20 points + 20 assists in a single game! If it is only 23 assists, there is still a possibility of being surpassed. But if another 20 points are added, then I think this record will last at least 30 years!"
"Perhaps, except for Lin Tian himself, it will be difficult for anyone to break this record in the All-Star Game!"
"Then let's look forward to it!" Su Qun said enthusiastically: "Let's look forward to seeing if Lin Tian can achieve this unprecedented record!"
When the Western team's timeout ended, they still had the same ten players. Obviously, at this point in the game, neither coach would change.
The first person to get the ball this time was Gary Payton. Facing Lin Tian's personal defense after switching defenses, Payton did not rush. Instead, he directed everyone to get into position and gave the ball to the arc. Stockton at the top.
After Stockton got the ball, he quickly dribbled toward the other side, opening up a lot of space for himself. Facing Jordan's defense, he had no intention of attacking.
Instead, he made a ground pass and gave the ball to Malone, who was about to reach the inside position!
Let Malone single out Weber! This is the matchup with the highest singles success rate that the Western team has studied during the timeout just now.
They all believed that Malone could teach the young Weber a good lesson.
But the moment Stockton passed the ball to Malone, Payton suddenly felt something was wrong.
What about Lin Tian? When did he run to the inside? "Carl! Be careful!" When Payton reacted, he immediately shouted loudly to remind Malone to be careful, but it was already too late! Lin Tian was so stupid that he went around from the weak side to behind Malone. The whole way he walked was in Malone's blind spot. When he sneaked all the way behind Malone, the All-Star power forward couldn't even find him!
"Snapped!"
With a steady and sharp pull, the basketball immediately escaped from Ma Long's control, and Lin Tian broke it off and held it in his arms! "FUXX! You guys warned me earlier! You two guys are blind! Can't you see him sneaking over from the weak side!" Malone, who had the ball stolen, clapped his hands and looked towards the team's goal with great annoyance. The two defenders yelled.
However, neither Payton nor Stockton was in the mood to care about Malone's protest, because Lin Tian did not call a timeout!Not only did he not call a timeout, he also waved at Riley off the court.
The meaning is obvious: no need to pause, leave it to me! "Defend first! Foul in the last 10 seconds!" Sloan of the Western Team also reminded his players loudly on the sidelines.
There are now 20 seconds left in the game. If there is no foul, Lin Tian can completely use up all the time! But Sloan didn't want to just foul and send the Eastern team free throws.
One is that he feels that Lin Tian's free throw shooting rate in the regular season is over 80%. If he is given 2 free throws, he will most likely be given 2 points! The other is that Sloan didn't want Lin Tian to take free throws.
Forget 23 assists, give Lin Tian another 20+20?Sloan is not that selfless!He definitely didn't want Lin Tian to get any other records, so he would rather gamble on the defensive abilities of Payton and Stockton to see if he could intercept the ball. Even if he couldn't intercept the ball, in the last ten seconds The foul allowed Eastern to take free throws, but it was too late.
Of course, there is also a third reason.
After all, this is the All-Star Game, and foul tactics can only be used once. If there are 10-3 rounds of tactical fouls in the last 4 seconds of the game, and the game lasts 10 minutes, the fans at the scene will not be happy. Booing?
As an All-Star, you still have to have the dignity you deserve!
Facing Stockton's defense, Lin Tian didn't take it seriously at all. He dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt. Then, he looked up at the time and suddenly started! Yes, with 15 seconds left in the game, Lin Tian started directly! This was beyond everyone's expectations. Almost everyone thought that Lin Tian would wait until the end and would not start attacking until the Western team committed a foul!
Who would have thought... this guy actually started attacking right after he came to the frontcourt!
