Chapter 135 Shut up! Chops!
Rose's face was extremely ugly, he did not reply to Lin Long's words, and in the next defense, his defense against Lin Long also seemed less desperate. After being easily penetrated by Lin Long again, Lin Long found Billou on the outside this time. Puth, after the basketball came out, Billups easily hit an open 3-pointer.
Jackson hadn't found out what was wrong, he patted Rose's butt and said: "It's okay brother, he's just lucky, the next attack is still yours, we'll make him look good! 99
Miller also walked over to Ross and gave him a heavy punch: "Brother, we need you! Sober up."
The next attack, the Pacers really found Ross again.
This is the culture unique to the Pacers team, they are happy to let their brother find his own face on the court and will support him!
For Ross, however, it became a punishment.
Lin Long also obviously found the unity of the Pacers, and slightly lowered his focus: "Your brothers are very supportive of you! It's a pity that this is pushing you into hell!"5
Facing Lin Long's provocation, Ross bit his tongue heavily, he wanted to boost his energy and courage.
Lin Long is human too! It's impossible to block every ball~Me!
Thinking of this, Rose immediately did his best to dribble the ball in front of Lin Long, looking for opportunities to attack.
"It's actually an opportunity from the left. 35
"It's not bad to go straight to the right and pull one!
"You can shoot the 3-pointer directly!
"Boy, are you attacking or not! My grandma plays 100 times more decisively than you.
Lin Long's trash talk was almost uninterrupted, bombarding Rose's nerves like a barrage of cannons.
Finally, Ross saw a little impatience and relaxation in Lin Long's eyes, he immediately seized the opportunity, and after taking a step forward, he wanted to directly pull out his hand!
"Caught you!" Lin Long roared, reacting as fast as turning on the accelerator, flashed in front of Ross again, and slapped the basketball he just shot with his big hand mercilessly.
This volleyball cap directly fanned the basketball towards the midfield.
Lin Long didn't need any buffer after landing.
In terms of absolute speed, there are only a few guards in the league who can catch up with Lin Long, such as Iverson and Hardaway.
The Pacers, but there is no such person.
They could only run back and defend desperately, while desperately finding that the distance was being pulled farther and farther.
A 360-degree swivel dunk by Lin Long!
The boos and noises at the scene in Indiana did not slow down at all, but intensified.
Lin Long finally gave up the act of putting his hands to his lips again.
Indiana fans, like their team, are resilient!
Carlisle suddenly called a timeout.
Carlisle noticed that in the round just now, Ross, who was in the closest position, obviously gave up the chase, but watched Miller, Davis and the others rush towards the frontcourt.
That's more than Carlisle's bottom line.
He can endure being taken, hammered, and even blundered.
Can give up, especially give up to solve the problems caused by his own mistakes, which is not allowed by Carlisle in any case.
He did not say much on the sidelines, but directly replaced Rose and took Mullin on the court.
This also means that Carlisle's desperate evolution in this game has suffered a heavy blow at the beginning!
Lin Long made a 9:2 in just 2 minutes.
After Mullin came back on the court, with a calm dominant player, the Pacers finally got a little better, breaking the scoring drought.
But the shortcomings of this lineup are equally obvious: Lin Long is once again in a situation where he can play whatever he wants.
The combination of Miller and Mullin can't deal with Lin Long at all.
Putting them in front of Lin Long is almost the same as putting the air in front of Lin Long.
In the first quarter, under the circumstance of Lin Long killing everything, the Celtics ended the first quarter with 26:20.
Lin Long once again scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter.
The Pacers rely on Mullin and Miller to feel good in the first quarter and hit consecutive shots, otherwise the Celtics are likely to waste the game in the first quarter.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Auerbach let Lin Long rest on the court as usual.
At this time, the Pacers suddenly put on the three Musketeers lineup of Schmitz, Mullin and Miller!
They also took the team's most powerful trio.
The rotation led by Barkley immediately seemed a little chaotic, especially when Lin Long was not around, the Celtics were simply missing a playmaker, finisher and ubiquitous help-defense monster.
In this case, in the face of the Pacers' musket-style play, the Celtics were beaten 12:2 by the Pacers in just 3 minutes, and were overtaken by the score in one fell swoop!
Among them, Miller and Mullin each scored 5 points, and Schmitz also hit a long-distance two-pointer.
Auerbach saw that the situation was going to be controlled by the Pacers and immediately replaced Lin Long, Big Ben and Bowen.
Big Ben faced Schmitz, Bowen was in charge of biting Miller, and Lin Long faced old Mullin, who had the strongest passing ability.
As soon as these three came on, the situation changed again, the Celtics regained their rhythm and slowly closed the score.
Only in the face of the Pacers who regained their rhythm, the Celtics also failed to score as consistently as in the first quarter, and never overtaken the score again.
In the end, the Pacers opened the second quarter with a 12:2 wave in the first half!
The first half ended with a two-point lead at 55:53.
Reggie Miller, the team leader, finally regained his feeling tonight, scoring 17 points on 7 of 12 shots, and hitting 3 3 points in the first half.
It's just that throughout the first half, Miller didn't rest for a second and played for 24 minutes. Whether his physical strength could support the second half of the game became an important suspense in the second half.
During the intermission, Miller sat quietly in the chair, gasping for breath. The Pacers' support staff, from the physical therapist to the team doctor, were all serving Miller, relaxing his muscles as much as possible. ,relieve fatigue.
Although Miller didn't fight with people in the paint, he didn't even have any offense with the ball.
But for the 24 minutes he was on the court, he ran non-stop for almost every second, constantly looking for cover and vacancies, and his physical exhaustion had already reached a terrifying level.
The Celtics' locker room is also very quiet. Their confrontation intensity and physical exertion in the first half are also very large, such as Lin Long and Billups. Although they did not play the first half, Lin Long Played 21 minutes, scored 25 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.
Billups played 22 minutes and scored 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
The two, like Miller, barely rested.
・・・・For flowers・・・
Lin Long was fine, still looking fierce, but Billups almost collapsed, lying on the chair enjoying the massage of the physiotherapist, not wanting to move at all.
"Bruce, you started the second half in place of Barrows and continued to haunt Miller! I want him to pay a huge price for every catch, and every shot has to do his best. If I want him to finish the third quarter, he will be tired. Can't get up on your knees!" Auerbach finally changed his moves for the first time in the series.
Bowen replaced Barros in the starting lineup against Reggie Miller.
"Understood coach. Bowen nodded, his face solemn, his task in the second half was extremely heavy.
"Forest."
As soon as Auerbach called Lin Long's name, Lin Long raised his hand and said:
"I can play the full second half, whether offensive or defensive, anyone who needs to call me by my name, I will always be behind you! 35
Auerbach nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Long's maturity and responsibility made him lose a lot of saliva and strength.
With the end of the intermission, the two sides returned to the field.
The Celtics replaced Barrows with Bowen in the starting lineup. Anyone could see that this adjustment was aimed at Reggie Miller, who had a hot hand in the first half.
......0
And Jaylen Rose, who only played less than 5 minutes in the first half, seemed unable to adjust his mentality in midfield and did not appear in the starting lineup.
In its place was veteran Derek McGee, who had little opportunity to play in this series.
Derek McGee is a standard defensive strong and weak player. He has been selected as the best defensive team of the year several times and is the favorite of former coach Larry Brown.
It's a pity that the Pacers changed their head coach this year.
He suffered another serious injury, and all the stats came to career lows.
With the deepening of the season, it gradually fell out of the rotation, and it was not until this game that he was really desperate and no one was available that Carlisle finally thought of this hard-working veteran.
Seeing McGee approaching him, Lin Long immediately began to recall a series of data about Derek McGee.
This is what the Celtics team had introduced and analyzed in detail with them before the game.
"Derrick McGee, strong forward, good at defense, strong in steals, tough in character, solid style of play, very careful shot selection. Not good at scoring, not good at long shots, after a serious knee injury, confrontation and lateral speed Both fall sharply and can attack him when the arc tops the frame."5
The Celtics are very well prepared before the game, whether it is the main force, the rotation or the marginal players, they have all done a detailed investigation and conclusion.
"The sixth one." Lin Long said with a low smile as he watched McGee come over.
"What the hell?" Although Reggie Miller and others explained that they should not talk to Lin Long before the game, and that his trash talk was very lethal, McGee was still a bit baffled.
"The sixth person I'm going to blow up is here. How many people are left in your team. I'm afraid that the series is not over, and you all have to go to PTSD psychotherapy with the whole team. But it's okay, 15 people together, maybe at a discount.35
Looking at the serious Lin Long, McKee cursed.
This guy really can't be dealt with.
The first attack in the second half was Celtic's ball, Lin Long got the basketball right away from a high position.
Lin Long raised his hands high and made a 1.
"Hey... Derek, do you know what tactics I'm calling?" Big.
