Chapter 131 The Assassin's Showdown! Lin Long VS Miller! 【Collection】
Lin Long has been paying attention to Mullin's eyes and the situation in the audience. He found that Mullin had missed an open spot for Rose outside the 3-point line and an open spot for Antonio Davis in the mid-range.
With Mullin's passing level and vision, these two shots should never be missed.
Lin Long immediately guessed what Mullin was going to do!
The Pacers are looking for Miller! The Pacers have to prove themselves to their leader on the first offense after coming back from a timeout. So when Dale Davis put on the screen again, Lin Long shouted without hesitation:
"Switch defenses!
Then he handed Mullin to Barkley, and he followed Davis and ran to the inside.
Barkley scolded, he thought Lin Long was still taking revenge on his two unreliable passes, but he lowered his focus and grinned: "Old man! Try to break through me! 99
"Suddenly!
Mullin scolded: "I can't beat Lin Long, and I can't beat you, a fat man who is a few months older than me! 99
The basketball in Mullin's hands was quickly mobilized, and even if he was old and injured, he still had the league's top sense of rhythm and movement control skills.
Barkley was quickly deceived by Mullin's fake action, and Mullin took a step and rushed over from Barkley's left.
"Two Forty Zero"
The Celtics' defense line immediately shrank. Some people blocked Mullin's breakthrough route to prevent him from firing in the mid-range. Some people followed the rotation system to help teammates make up defenses.
Miller ran towards Antonio Davis, who needed an off-ball screen to block the plastered Bruce Bowen, and then shot a 3-pointer.
"boom!"
With a muffled sound, Antonio Davis' solid cover made Bowen seem to have hit a stone wall and was stuck in position.
Miller finally ran out of the 3-point line and got the vacancy he was looking for.
Meanwhile, Dale Davis at the basket waved and yelled: "Chris! Here!" 5
Dale Davis also got an open spot at the basket.
Mullin hesitated. Curry, who was in front of him, had already killed him, and Barkley, who was behind him, had also arrived again. In the blink of an eye, he was about to face a double-team situation.
Mullin no longer had the time to ponder and observe why there were two vacancies on the court at the same time. According to the tactics, Mullin made a one-handed straight pass, and the basketball flew to Miller outside the 3-point line.
Miller, who got the ball, didn't need to adjust at all. The shooter's instinct made him ready to shoot before catching the ball. The moment he got the ball, he jumped straight to the ground and made a firm 3-point shot!
"I have this ball!" Miller felt very good, and this ball was perfect in both rhythm and hand shape.
But a green shadow rushed over from his side.
"There's a fart! Go to hell, Reggie." It was Lin Long, who rushed towards Miller desperately.
This ball, Lin Long's choice is flawed no matter how you look at it.
He let go of Dale Davis, gave the Pacers a dunk, and went for Miller from beyond the 3-point line.
Any coach would scoff at this choice, or even curse.
After all, if you leak the basket to the opponent who is best at rebounding, even if you miss a 3-pointer, the rebound will be lost with a high probability.
But Lin Long was right!
He just believed that Mullin would pass the ball to Miller.
He also believes in himself and will not let this shot have a chance to grab a rebound!
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the orange basketball encountered a block in the air, like a woman who had changed her mind, immediately turned around and flew towards the center line.
Barkley was quick to react again, the first to move and catch the basketball.
"Charles! Stop it! I beg you for your grandma, don't throw his grandma's shit!"
Barkley just wanted to throw the ball towards the front court, but was shocked by a loud roar from Lin Long. The famous Sir Charles obviously thought of the pain of little Barkley just now, and honestly gave the ball to the player beside him. Curry.
Immediately after Curry got the ball, he pushed forward with both hands, the basketball flew straight to the front court, and landed precisely on Lin Long's hands beyond the 3-point line.
After Lin Long got the ball, he patted it, stabilized his body, and then pulled it straight up, chasing after him for 3 points and making a decisive shot!
"Shh!
Lin Long's signature chasing 3-point hit! The point difference is 17 points!
Miller's shot that he was determined to win was taken, and he turned back and scored a 3-pointer. The difference of 6 points inside and outside made the Pacers' fighting spirit immediately dissipated by most of them.
Dale Davis yelled in dissatisfaction: "Chris! You are blind! I missed it! I got a damn open spot at the basket! I ask you, are you blind? 35
Davis' tone was harsh and unpleasant. If it weren't for the court, he would have scolded a series of swear words directly.
Mullin was a fiery temper when he was young.
After getting older, his temper has not diminished at all. He was about to open his mouth to fight back, but was pulled by Miller.
Miller looked at Davis and said, "Dell, this shot is my fault! I didn't see Lin Long coming from the side! Anyone who has opinions can come at me, but now, you have to apologize to Chris!
Miller's words were cold and hard, and his eyes were even more cold, making Davis unable to help trembling, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Chris, I was too anxious!
Mullin also raised his hand in frustration and said: "It's my fault, I want to find Reggie too much, sorry, I should give it to you.
Reggie Miller resolved a dispute on the court in a few words, which also greatly appreciated Auerbach on the side.
Even if he's not the strongest, he's very thin, and he can't even dunk, but he's a leader.
Seeing that the situation on the field was getting more and more out of control, Carlisle quickly called out the last timeout in his hand.
There are still 5 minutes before the end of the game, but he has called all the timeouts, which is enough to prove how bad the situation is for the Pacers.
"Let's take a rest for the main force. Let's end this game." Carlisle hesitated and said the words of surrender.
He really couldn't think of any way to restore the score. His strategy tonight was completely wrong.
Contrary to Carlisle's expectations, Miller, who has been supporting him this season, stood up again and said, "I'm not used to surrendering when the difference is only ten points, five minutes is enough for me to do a lot of things. Rick, 2 more minutes! If I can't get it to within 10 points, we'll surrender.
Carlisle hesitated for a moment, and he finally nodded, without taking down the main force.
On the Celtics' side, Lin Long kept admonishing Barkley: "See Charles! This time from Dell is called a pass! If you get the ball later, find Chauncey and the others first, don't throw it by yourself, okay? what?"
Barkley curled his lips and said: "What's the use of being comfortable with the ball? Can you score the top ten goals like me? Can you make the audience cheer and make waves?
"Damn it! Then next time I throw you to score, I'll give you the chance for the top ten!
"Forget it, Chauncey is responsible for passing the ball..." Barkley was very quick, obviously he also knew that if he changed anyone, it was two mistakes. That is, Lin Long can turn that into two assists.
Auerbach also instructed: "Children, well done! Very well done! Just keep fighting like this, and completely eliminate all the possibility of their counterattack! Kill them!"
"In the last five minutes, they will either surrender directly or make a last-ditch gamble. If they don't give up, then give me a hard fight! The home court of North Shore Gardens, no one can attack this season! Understand?"
"Lin, if they don't give up next, I want you to target Reggie Miller! Target him and the Pacers are finished. Can you do it?"
"Leave it to me!" Lin Long nodded, stood up, and walked towards the court.
After returning to the court, Lin Long stood beside Miller and said with a smile:
"Reggie, I was worried that you would just surrender like this, it would be so boring!"
Miller snorted and didn't answer. He put his hands on his knees, and his eyes kept patrolling the court, like a cheetah ready to go.
At this time, Reggie Miller has completely entered his own rhythm!
With Mullin's advance, Miller suddenly started running! He kept running around the Celtics' half court, bypassing screens, looking for space, running back, changing directions...even when he had the chance. Push Lin Long with your hands.
The league's No. 1 kill without the ball ability was completely released, Lin Long almost tried his best to rely on his physical advantages, not to be thrown away by Miller, but he still got a little bit by Miller. silk space.
At the top of the arc, Miller got the basketball, almost jumped sideways, and made a 3-point shot!
Lin Long was only less than 0.1 seconds slower, and the palm of the block almost brushed the lower end of the basketball.
"Shh!
Miller's 3-pointer is a steady hit!
14 points.
Miller did not spray trash, did not celebrate, but directly turned back to defense.
On the other hand, Lin Long directly asked for the ball in the low post, leaned back against Ross who was defending him at 3.3, and after running it directly inwards twice, he forced a jump shot and hit a two-pointer.
Looking back, Miller circled the court for three full laps, faced Lin Long's defense, and forced a 3-pointer without even seeing the basket!
13 points!
The Celtics sent the ball directly to Lin Long's hand, Lin Long's mouth raised slightly, and he said excitedly: "This is the playoffs!
After slowly advancing to the frontcourt, facing Rose's entanglement, Lin Long did not choose to press time to slow down the pace of the game.
Lin Long chose to accelerate directly and force a breakthrough from Ross's backside.
Just as Ross gritted his teeth and continued to traverse, barely keeping up, Lin Long suddenly dribbled the ball in the opposite direction, and the momentum of the whole person's violent forward suddenly stopped. Lin Long, who almost violated the common sense of physics, seemed to be completely unaffected by inertia. From extreme speed to standstill, no buffering is required!
Poor Ross doesn't have this strength. He couldn't control his body. He wanted to chase Lin Long with his upper body, but his lower body couldn't control and continued to move towards the inside.
After struggling very irregularly for two times, Ross finally completely lost control of his body and fell to his knees.
At this time, Lin Long accelerated again and flashed past the kneeling Ross.
