Chapter 139 The nameless counterattack! Bowen's three-point rain!
For example, Bowen, who is now empty, is in the bottom corner, and there is no defensive player 3 meters in front of him.
Billups didn't hesitate, and the point guard's instincts let him pass the ball right away.
Bowen, who got the ball, found that Mullin, who was closest to him, just glanced at him, then turned around and got stuck in front of Big Ben, ready to grab a rebound!
This oversized vacancy made Bowen a little uncomfortable.
The adjustment time he took was a little too long, resulting in some deformation of his hand when he shot, and the basketball naturally popped out of the frame.
Mullin stuck Big Ben, tapped his finger, and gave the basketball to Miller's hand.
Pacers, strike back again!
Davis and McKee, who had just double-teamed Lin Long, rushed forward with their heads buried in their heads, and became more and more separated.
Afterwards, it directly became one left and one right, distributed on both sides of the court.
Lin Long is the first to return to defense, directly choose to station in the basket, and wait for the rabbit!
In his opinion, both of them are defensive players with inconsistent shots, and shrinking the basket is the best way.
However, Jackson's pass to McGee, McGee came to the mid-range and suddenly stopped, pulled up a direct half basket shot.
"Shh!
McGee completely took Rose's gun and became the biggest raider tonight.
"Damn scouting report!" Lin Long couldn't help cursing.
This McGee report on the offensive end was almost completely torn up by McGee himself.
What shooting is not allowed, shot cautiously.
It's all a lie!
With McGee's mid-range hit, the difference between the two sides gradually has a tendency to be widened.
Barkley's end made Lin Long the only Celtic player with a stable offensive threat on the court. The Pacers could double-team him recklessly, making it difficult for him to even get the ball.
Lin Long knows that the best way to break the game is to throw the shorted Bowen into the damn open 3 points!
Billups, as the most sober person on the court, naturally knows this problem.
So he once again passed the ball directly to Bowen on the baseline.
"Bruce! Another one! Let me catch the rebound!" Lin Long yelled, he wanted to give Bowen enough confidence!
After Bowen got the ball, there was still no one around him, so he was completely empty.
After taking a look, Bowen made a solid 3-point shot again!
He felt very good this shot!
I think I'm sure, I can hit it!
However, with a loud bang, the ball still failed to hit!
The basketball bounced high on the hoop, Lin Long, Davis, McGee, and Big Ben huddled together and pushed each other under the hoop.
Elbows and buttocks were flying around in this mass of darkness, and each of the four ate at least two iron elbows.
In the end, Lin Long, relying on his own strength and long wingspan, stood out from the four, and slapped the basketball toward the bottom line with a slap.
"Bruce! The third one! If you don't score, I'll give you a fourth chance!" Lin Long's goal was still to find Bowen who was emptied tonight.
Bowen, who was outside the 3-point line, still did not hesitate when he got the basketball, as if the 3-point shot that had been hit continuously had never happened before.
"Huh! 99
This time...Bruce Bowen finally hits!
86:83!
The Celtics scored their first point in the fourth quarter.
"Continue to give it to me! If they dare to let me go, I will continue to punish them! 35 Bowen's confidence increased greatly, and he shouted at his teammates.
Bowen's goal did not affect the Pacers' tactics.
At least on the offensive end, they were not disrupted by this 3-pointer.
Miller faced Lin Long again, this time calling for a pick-and-roll.
Davis and McGee lifted up at the same time, one left and one right to block Lin Long firmly. Miller took advantage of the screen, and after moving a step laterally, he took advantage of the defender not to come up, and made a 3-point shot.
"Shh!"
The assassin's butcher knife swung again.
Auerbach stood up angrily on the sidelines and cursed:
"Ben! Dale! What are you two doing? Go up! Go up! I don't want to see this bastard have even an inch of room to shoot from the 3-point line!"
Lin Long found Miller and yelled at him, "What's the matter, Reggie? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of being killed by me, so you don't have a one-on-one relationship with me?"
"This is a game!" Miller bit his lip. He didn't want to say a word now, as if every word he said would cause him to consume a lot of physical strength.
Davis and McGee again took advantage of the fact that Lin Long did not have the ball, and directly double-teamed him, denying Billups any chance to pass the ball to Lin Long.
Although Lin Long kept running in the interior, the two of them were chasing after him. Even if someone was covering, it would be difficult to cover the two defensive fighters at the same time and stop them from chasing Lin Long.
That's the downside of not having Barkley.
The team only has Lin Long, a real offensive strength. They can let Mullin, the weakest defense, follow Big Ben, and they can empty Bowen, who is not feeling well tonight, to play the most targeted defense.
This time Lin Long ran on the court for a full 15 seconds before he received the basketball in the last 9 seconds.
But the moment he got the basketball, even Mark Jackson ran towards him.
Just getting the ball, without even taking a shot, was double-teamed by 3 people!
This defensive treatment, I am afraid even Jordan has never encountered.
Lin Long couldn't help but scolded in his heart, before the three people encircled, he found Bowen in the bottom corner again.
Feed Bowen out first! The Pacers' double-teams won't dare to be so reckless!
Bowen, who got the ball, once again encountered the treatment of empty 3 meters around.
"Pay the price! You son of a bitch! 35
Bowen cursed to cheer himself up, then pulled up again and made a 3-pointer.
"Shh!"
Second consecutive 3-pointer, hit!
"Let me go! Let me go again, you bastards!
Bowen beat his chest excitedly, while expressing the (dbdd) excitement in his heart.
It's impossible to say that he didn't have any feeling or nervousness in the continuous strike just now!
Bowen knows that the opponent's extreme defense can only be cracked if he hits open 3 points in a row!
After scoring twice, he is completely relaxed!
The Pacers players couldn't help but look at Carlisle, only to see Carlisle's lips pursed tightly.
He needs to make a decision now.
Is to continue to maintain the crazy defense against Lin Long, or continue to miss Bowen.
Or instead, skip Billups or Curry, who also have 40-plus 3-point percentages?
It was just another cup of poison.
Carlisle finally shook her head.
One more round!
Bowen can't hit 3 in a row, he's just an undrafted pick who couldn't even hit the ball in the first half of the season!
Nobody! Impossible to be a hero.
After some hesitation, Carlisle decides to drink a glass of less deadly poison.
The Pacers' offense went wrong at this time. After McGee's three axes were used up, Lin Long completely caught the attacking rhythm.
This time McGee broke through to the basket and was caught just right by Lin Long, and a blood shot directly swept his layup out of the baseline.
This is not the end, the Pacers' bottom-line ball tactics directly failed.
The passing route was judged by Lin Long, and he directly cut off the serve and launched a fast break.
What makes Carlisle a little more desperate is that Lin Long didn't choose to go to the empty basket this time! Instead, he directly assigned it to Bowen, who was following up on the outside.
Bowen's confidence has long been overwhelmed. After getting the basketball, no matter what is reasonable and what the team's status is, he decisively pulls up shots from beyond the 3-point line.
"Shh!"
Bruce Bowen hits triples!
Nobodies scored 9 straight points in the fourth quarter of the game!
No-name, save the team!
Indiana fans went into a huge panic.
They had a hunch that Lin Long would continue his performance in this game.
They know that Barkley's inside storm is difficult to contain.
They even thought that Curry and Barros would hit a lot of key 3s.
Can Bruce Bowen?
From which damn corner is this damn 12 bastard?
Why did he hit 3 in a row?
Like the fans, Carlisle finally couldn't take it anymore and called for a timeout.
Bowen's outburst disrupted all his plans and assumptions.
Lin Long hugged Bowen's head and shouted excitedly by his head: "Bruce! I know you can! I know you can!"
Bowen was also extremely excited, and he shouted recklessly.
What does it mean to lose in the draft?
What does it mean to not make it to the NBA after 4 years in the American lower league and the French league?
After finally entering the NBA, what is it that only played one minute last year?
I am Bruce Bowen!
Coming to the NBA!
Indiana's quietness was a stark contrast to Boston's bench spree.
Everyone is happy for Bowen from the bottom of their hearts, and they all know how difficult Bowen has been.
I also know how hard it is for him to get to where he is today.
After the wanton celebration, Auerbach said: "Guys, it's not time to relax and celebrate, keep fighting! End the hope of the Indiana tonight!
After the timeout, the morale-boosted Celtics were back on the court, and they were going to crush Indiana in one go!
The Pacers gave the ball directly to Miller, who dribbled it to the frontcourt.
Lin Long consciously stepped forward, near the center line, and entangled Miller.
Looking at Miller, who was panting and could fall at any time, Lin Long showed no mercy, and kept putting pressure on Miller with his body, trying to disrupt his rhythm.
"Reggie! Give it up, tonight you're going to end all possibilities! You'd better watch your summer vacation tickets early, so you don't get out of Indiana during the peak season!" Lin Long's trash talk never stopped .
"Shut up, Lin!" Lin Long could notice that Miller's eyes were a little slack. If someone else had been overdrafted, he would have fainted on the court long ago.
"I love Indiana, and I'll have no problem with staying here for the rest of my life!"
Miller almost mumbled after saying these words, called for the double's cover again, bypassed Lin Long, and forced a 3-point shot against Bowen who was rushing up!
"Shh!"
The 3-point ball crossed the sky and entered the net with precision.
