Chapter 140 Crazy Moment! Reggie Miller Moment!
"beep!
At the same time, because of the rush, Bowen couldn't control his body and collided with Miller. The two lost their balance at the same time and fell to the ground.
Miller got a 3+1 chance!
"No name?" Miller closed his eyes and gasped for breath: "It's ridiculous, who else in this league is more worthy of this description than me~? 35'
Reggie Miller, who was lying on the ground, did not stand up for a long time. He found that he could no longer hear the cheers and noise of the stadium, and even the lights of the stadium gradually dimmed.
The doctor from his childhood appeared inexplicably in Miller's mind.
The doctor who concluded that he might not be able to walk like a normal person.
There is also a coach who kicked himself out of the school team for a trial training in junior high school and said that he would never even think about playing basketball in his life.
When UCLA, said he was not worthy of a basketball scholarship assistant coach.
Fans who booed wildly when they were drafted by Indiana.
And John Long, the Pacers ace who let himself buy doughnuts every night and wouldn't give himself a dime.
It seems that my whole life is full of failures and doubts!
When did it start to be praised?
Is it Death's Gaze?
Or 9 seconds and 8 minutes?
Or, from the day I started spewing trash and turned into an asshole?
The sound of the stadium slowly returned.
Cheers, screams, roars.
Also, the teammates shouted anxiously.
"Reggie! Reggie! You bastard! You are so cool!"
Mark Jackson frantically shook Miller lying on the ground, extremely excited!
With 5 minutes left in the game, Miller made a 3 and drew a foul from Bowen!
The fans who were originally beaten by Bowen's 3 points and 3 points were a little desperate, but with this 3+1, they have recovered again!
Even Will Marcus on the sidelines, the guy who came to see the Pacers off today, stood up sincerely and applauded Miller.
"Pull me up, don't you know how much you jerk weighs?
Miller finally recovered.
He has to take advantage of his clear consciousness to complete this crucial free throw!
Lin Long comforted Bowen on the side and said: "It's okay Bruce! Just defending like this, he can't score every goal! It's still our dominant game! 99
At this time, Miller just got up, heard Lin Long's words, and grinned:
"Who said it's impossible? Boy, listen to him, next time you're so defensive, I'll give you 4 more points!
Miller, who stood up, seemed to have regained a bit of strength, at least he had the strength to respond to Lin Long's trash talk, and he didn't look so shaky anymore.
"Reggie, you bastard won't be back to the light, right? You'd better go down and see the doctor, the way you are now, in our Chinese words: that's not far from death!
"Dead? I'll make the score 2:1 before I die!" Miller looked firmly at the basket and walked to the free throw line.
With Miller's additional penalty hit, the two sides once again entered a state of anxious tearing.
With Bowen's explosion from beyond the 3-point line, the Pacers did not dare to double-team Lin Long, which made Lin Long's shooting environment much more comfortable. He began to break through and back to help the team. Constantly increasing points.
At the same time, Bowen also hit the fourth 3-pointer in this section, becoming an out-and-out X factor and a surprise soldier!
On the defensive end, Lin Long is also unreserved, trying his best to bite Miller, hinder his movement, catch the ball, shoot, and keep giving him physical contact.
But the Pacers covered Miller like crazy. At this point in the game, the referee had turned a blind eye to all kinds of moving screens and pulling in the screen. Therefore, Miller also got a lot of opportunities, and he didn't. Stop the hit!
In addition, Mullin and others also recovered their feeling together and made shots one after another. The situation between the two sides was entangled in the score, which lasted until the last 2 minutes of the game!
When the game is over with only 2 minutes and 17 seconds left, a variable on the field appears!
There was no rest for a second throughout the second half. Billups, who had played for 43 minutes, finally reached the critical point of his physical strength. He slipped and fell to the ground during a breakthrough.
The moment he fell, Billups used his last strength to defend the basketball and called a timeout.
The Celtics immediately surrounded them and wanted to know what happened. Mark Jackson was obviously frightened by Schmitz's tragic situation just now. He quickly raised his hands and said innocently: "I didn't touch him, not even the body hair. !99
Billups clutched his calf and said, "It's okay, I have a cramp! Just help me, just help me, I'll be able to play immediately!
The team doctor on the sidelines immediately rushed into the court and began to check the situation of Billups.
As a rookie, although Billups didn't have any dazzling performances and beautiful statistics today, his playing time was second only to Lin Long, especially after Barkley was sent off, he became Lin Long. The only person outside of Lin Long who has the ability to dominate the ball and handle the ball, so he is also the person with the most serious load and physical exhaustion outside of Lin Long.
All the Celtics players gathered around Billups, waiting for the team doctor's diagnosis.
After a long time, the team doctor said with a solemn expression: "It's not a big problem, it's just that fatigue caused by excessive physical exertion causes cramps, but we recommend not to play any more. Billups is overdrawn now, and if he continues to forcefully play, it is likely to cause two problems. No one can guarantee the consequences of the second injury."
Before Auerbach could speak, Billups stood up anxiously and said, "Coach! I'm fine! I don't have any pain now, you see, I can still run! It's only 2 minutes, I can handle it. live!"
Billups said that he also wanted to show Auerbach his "full" physical strength by jumping twice.
But Billups failed to jump up, a pair of powerful hands pressed on his shoulders and pushed him back to the bench.
Lin Long firmly suppressed Billups and said, "Enough Chauncey, don't play to steal my limelight. In the next game, just watch me perform!"
"..."
Billups wanted to continue to fight for the opportunity to play, but was interrupted again by Lin Long.
"I said, ok! What if you keep playing with an Achilles injury? You're only playing in your first year, and you don't have to gamble on your career! Besides, I'm enough to get the Pacers home! Finally, also Most importantly - we'll start the next series without Charles, and now you don't even want to play? Are you really going to wear the rest of your brothers to death?"
Lin Long's words are enough to understand here.
Billups could no longer find an excuse to refute, but sighed and sat back in his chair obediently.
Auerbach looked at Lin Long with admiration. With Lin Long here, his job as a coach is really much easier!
･･･ Ask for flowers ･･･
Still, Billups' cramp also gave Auerbach a wake-up call.
There are too few people in the team who can handle the ball! This summer, we must add another strong point to the team who can handle the ball!
Back on the court, Auerbach replaced Billups with Barros.
The Celtics lineup on the court has become a blue-collar Big Ben, Barrows, Curry, Bowen three shooters, and Lin Long.
In this lineup, Lin Long has once again become the only ball-holding point and core, and the defensive intensity he suffered will inevitably be greatly improved again!
On the Pacers side, Dale Davis and Derek McGee continue to partner on the inside, and the outside is still Chris Mullin, Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller!
After this pause, the score between the two sides is 98.99. The Celtics are one point behind temporarily, and they have the ball at the same time. The attack time also has 14 seconds, which is enough for them to play a complete tactic.
Bowen stood on the sideline ready to issue this crucial sideline kick, and as the referee blew another whistle, the players on both sides immediately began to run.
....0
Lin Long immediately discovered that the defense he encountered was even more exaggerated than the previous one!
Except for Davis and McGee, who were still obsessed with not giving them the chance to catch the ball, even Mullin brought it up and walked beside Lin Long, waiting for the chance to double-team. .
It can be said that the three of them were almost wrapped in a circle, completely enclosing Lin Long.
Under this kind of defense, it becomes extremely difficult for Lin Long to catch the ball. After all, no matter how good Lin Long's off-ball skills are, he can't do anything in the face of the Pacers' circle.
After all, even Lin Long couldn't turn into a human bomb and blow up the encirclement directly.
Seeing that the serve was about to be violated within 5 seconds, Big Ben and Barros caught up at the same time, and they joined hands to form a human wall, which firmly blocked Dale Davis and McKee who were guarding Lin Long. Get out!
Bowen saw the opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Lin Long.
As soon as Lin Long got the ball, Mark Jackson and Chris Mullin, who were in charge of the second line of defense, rushed up and completely covered Lin Long from left to right.
Davis and McKee, who were stopped just now, also broke free from cover and surrounded them together.
Near the logo in the middle circle, Lin Long was surrounded by 4 people!
Except for Miller, who was so tired that he couldn't move, all the Pacers players shot at Lin Long.
This time, Lin Long is not going to pass the ball again!
If you want to chase and block me, then I will prove with actions that your strategy is ridiculously stupid!
Lin Long saw the positions of the four players, and quickly passed the defensive habits and preferences of the four players in his mind. Suddenly, he took two steps back towards the midfield position and opened up the distance.
At this time, Lin Long has almost come to the front of the center line, and if he is not careful, he will return to the line and violate the rules.
Jackson and Mullin were overjoyed and thought they had a chance to corner Lin Long!
The two slide forward at the same time and continue to defend closely!
But the speed of the two of them was slow and fast, Jackson came to Lin Long half a step earlier than Mullin.
Lin Long immediately turned around with the ball, pressed against Jackson's body, and turned to his outside.
At this time, Mullin had just caught up, but he could only see Lin Long's back.
