Jordan: I thought he was there to help me!

Chapter 724 This generation of fans is abnormal! TNT needs to prepare some energy.

The reporters were so comfortable that some of them forgot to loosen their clenched fists.

Regardless of how the upcoming matches unfold, and regardless of whether Lin Tian's words were sincere or not, the reporters were satisfied as long as he said them.

After that, no one felt comfortable making things difficult for him. Since he had given them face, we should reciprocate, right?

The main focus is on meticulousness!

The subsequent press conference was conducted simply, quickly, harmoniously, and pleasantly.

People asked the usual questions, Lin Tian gave the usual answers, and then occasionally let out some good-natured laughter. Then, the press conference ended quickly.

To put it simply, after the first two fiery questions, the rest of the press conference could be summed up in one word: water!

Well, as for why Lin Tian unusually gave people face?

It's not out of respect for the Suns or Nash, of course; that guy has never respected anyone.

It wasn't because of any change of conscience or a desire to be a good person.

There's only one reason he did it.

Old Nelson sent him a message.

"We're already on the bus. You have 15 minutes. If you can't make it, you'll have to take a taxi!"

This simple message was enough for Lin Tian to put aside his competitive spirit, answer the questions honestly, quickly end the press conference, and rush over to join the team.

Brothers, we must stay together!

Not one can be missing.

This is why the Knicks have become the dominant force in the league.

Unite!

This night is a crucial moment for maintaining unity! Even the head coach is there, can Lin Tian fall behind?

Of course not!

Of course, nobody cared about what happened that night.

After three quarters, the Suns were still down by one point!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lin Tian, ​​who had not rested at all in the second half, exploded again. He drove inside and shot outside, scoring 8 points in a row, leading the team to an 8-2 offensive surge. This not only brought his score back to 45 points, but also extended the lead to 9 points!

Thanks to Lin Tian's sudden outburst, the Knicks regained the initiative and maintained their lead in the score.

Until the last 3 minutes of the game, the Knicks maintained a 7-point lead thanks to Lin Tian's incredible run.

By this point in the game, both teams were quite exhausted.

Especially the Suns players, Nash, Pierce and Marion have all played all 45 minutes of the previous games tonight, and judging from the current situation, all three of them will almost certainly play all 48 minutes tonight!

D'Antoni's style of relentlessly pushing his starters was on full display in this game!

But these three really didn't disappoint him and the Suns fans tonight!

All three of them delivered some truly impressive performances!

纳什33分21次助攻，皮尔斯37分11篮板，马里昂30分21个篮板！

Three players combined for double-doubles, with Nash and Marion both putting up 30+20 numbers.

In the entire history of the NBA, it is unprecedented for three players to play for such a long time and put up such stats. But even though these three players performed so well, the Knicks still maintained control of the game!

With three minutes left in the game, the Suns finally showed something they had never displayed before.

D'Antoni first substituted Barbosa, but instead of replacing Jones as usual, he substituted Martin!

D'Antoni played a very small lineup.

Marion will play center, and Pierce will play power forward!

Faced with this suddenly appearing small lineup, Don Nelson's reaction was a little slow.

After deploying this lineup, the Suns pulled out another trump card they hadn't used before.

Nash and Pierce's pick-and-roll!

The two started setting a pick and roll at the high post. After the first pick and roll, Nash attacked the Knicks' power forward, Stoudemire. Facing Stoudemire, whose defense was almost the worst in the game, Nash was incredibly confident. He changed direction repeatedly, then stepped back to create space and pulled up for a three-pointer!

After the basket, the Suns narrowed the gap to 4 points!

Then, Lin Tian drove into the paint and scored 2 points for the Knicks, bringing his total to 50 points of the night.

But then the Suns used the same tactic again, with Nash and Pierce running a double pick-and-roll. Because both of them have top-tier offensive capabilities in the league, the Knicks couldn't afford to leave either of them open and had to switch on defense again quickly.

This time, Nash quickly passed the ball to Pierce, who was standing outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Pierce completely ignored Lin Tian, ​​who was rushing towards him, and took a three-pointer without hesitation!

"Snapped!"

Lin Tian could hear the faint sound and feel his fingers brush against the basketball. The basketball's arc and flight angle changed noticeably because of Lin Tian's slight block.

"Rebound!"

Lin Tian quickly turned around, shouted, and was about to assess the situation before sprinting away, but the basketball he had blocked still went straight into the basket!

"You guys are really good at dribbling!"

Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, muttered something to Pierce, and then took the ball and began to advance unhurriedly.

With just two minutes left in the game, the gap between the two teams has been narrowed to only three points in the blink of an eye!

"Luck is also part of strength!" Pierce breathed heavily. He hadn't rested for a second all night and was now completely exhausted.

Just as exhausted as Pierce was Nash!

Lin Tian certainly wouldn't let such an opportunity pass him by. After arriving at the frontcourt, he didn't give Nash any chance to adjust or catch his breath, and immediately accelerated his breakthrough!

Nash clearly didn't expect Lin Tian to play so fast and aggressively when the Knicks were still in the lead. In this situation, shouldn't they have wasted time and then played steadily?

Lin Tian: What's there to be sure about! Scoring goals is the most important thing!

Lin Tian's attack was truly sudden, and Nash couldn't react at all. He could only turn around and watch Lin Tian stop again and release his signature pull-up jump shot!

"Whoosh!"

The gap between the two sides remains at 5 points!

In the next minute or so, both sides scored another goal, maintaining a 5-point gap.

With only 35 seconds left in the game, the Suns broke through the Knicks' defense with another Nash-Pierce pick-and-roll. This time, Nash drove to the mid-range and jumped to shoot, successfully colliding with Stoudemire and drawing a foul!

With a free throw percentage of over 90%, Nash certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He easily made the free throw, narrowing the gap to 2 points once again!

The Knicks suddenly messed up at this crucial moment!

Lin Tian was double-teamed while advancing the ball. When he jumped up to pass the ball, the pass was a little too strong. Anthony was not in position and Marion came out from behind to steal the ball!

Marion then passed the ball to Nash, who immediately found Barbosa on the other side. The Brazilian lightning-fast receiver shone on the court, rushing to the basket in the blink of an eye, pushing past Barnes who was there to help defend, and forcefully scoring the ball!

137: 137!

The score is tied! (End of Chapter)
