Chapter Nine Hundred and Forty-One

The dawn that Lin Yi has been looking forward to is the physical fitness of James and Kobe.

So far in the playoffs, James' average playing time is as high as 43 minutes, while Kobe's is 42 minutes.

Therefore, as long as the Knicks maintain the pressure on the Lakers and force James and Kobe to not rest, then the Knicks have a great chance to win the game.

After all, no matter how hard you talk, you are already 36 years old.

No matter how strong my emperor is, he is no longer the one who can shout that I want to win five, six, seven, eight crowns.

Young is invincible.

Tonight, the snapping skill that Lin Yi drew was "Avatar of Steel", so he was not worried about his physical fitness.

Although it was tiring to fight in the low position, Lin Yi also enjoyed it.

Because when he used to play games, he liked to play the highest difficulty to find abuse, and now Xiao Hua has raised the difficulty for him invisibly, and he doesn't mind, it's just a little disgusting.

To put it bluntly, invincible is really lonely...

Closer to home, after a short break, in the third quarter, the Knicks continued their methodical tug-of-war with the Lakers.

CCTV, Director Zhang Reasonable said worriedly, "The Knicks haven't been able to play the fast break they are best at tonight, and the rhythm has always been on the Lakers' side."

Yu Jia nodded, "That's true. Several key Knicks players have encountered a foul crisis, which has a great impact on them."

Obviously, if even the number one Lin Chui couldn't see through Lin Yi's plot, how about the Lakers?

In the eyes of Lakers coach Blatter, the Knicks slowed down is what he would like to see, because it is much better than a sudden death.

On the court, James and Kobe had a tacit division of labor. The basketball was in the hands of the two of them. Anyway, if other Lakers players could touch the basketball, James and Kobe would lose.

Clay and Green, who appeared on the stage under the pressure of three fouls, also changed their defensive strategy. When defending, they could not reach out without reaching out, and tried to consume James and Kobe with word wrapping tactics.

Although Tony Allen is gone, his legacy is still helping the Knicks.

Ah, that's not right... Mr. Tony seems to have died from this sentence.

However, even though the Knicks made the best response under Lin Yi's command tonight, the Knicks still encountered trouble in the third quarter.

Because Klay got his fourth foul.

And a minute later... Klay, who risked playing again, got his fifth foul.

Even Clay, who has always been low-key, wanted to swear, one can imagine... what happened to him at that time.

Of course, Lin Yi immediately grabbed Clay who wanted to argue with the referee.

This is not to say that Lin Yi is calm, but because Lin Yi knows that even if you argue, it is useless, you will only add a technical foul for no reason.

Clay left the field temporarily, and the Knicks hurriedly transferred veteran Pierce.

Truth, who was ordered in danger, patted Clay on the shoulder before going on stage and said, "Take a good rest."

Clay nodded without saying a word.

In fact, to be honest, Clay has never taken seniors like Pierce and Carter seriously.

After all, in Clay's view,

They came to the Knicks to mix for the championship.

It's just... After a few minutes, Clay will understand a truth.

...

After your uncle came on the field, he took the initiative to apply to defend against James. Lin Yi didn't say anything about it, because he read a sentence from Pierce's eyes at that time: Please trust me!

Therefore, Lin Yi nodded and chose to give Pierce his trust.

On the field, the Lakers are attacking, and it is James who controls the ball.

In this regard, the Lakers' free-ball guard De Xiaopang didn't complain at all. After all, isn't the empty-ball guard all about being empty-handed?

And looking at Pierce who appeared in front of him, James didn't take him too seriously.

That's right, I was educated by you when I was young, but the me now is no longer the me of the past, and you... can you still make a living?

Pierce, 38, read a hint of disdain in James' eyes.

But so what?

Pierce's life has been exciting enough.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this fat man is not even a super giant, but let me ask, how many people in the NBA can return to the court after being stabbed 11 times, and shine in the league in the name of truth? do it?

On the court, James started.

The potbellied Pierce failed to stop the breakthrough of the next emperor.

However, the moment James broke through Pierce, the experienced veteran leaned directly towards the emperor's big elbow.

Immediately, Pierce fell to the ground in response, and the emperor broke through Pierce's defense zone and successfully scored two points.

58 to 61.

Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

Pierce was extremely aggrieved.

In the close-up, the 38-year-old even had tears in his eyes.

Pierce kept signaling to the referee that James had just elbowed him.

And the referee... was also dumbfounded!

Because the sincerity that Pierce is showing... doesn't sound like he's lying.

Of course, it never occurred to Pierce that the referee would overturn the call because of his performance.

Lin Yi silently gave Pierce a thumbs up.

Because Lin Yi knew very well that Pierce was putting pressure on the referee.

Even if tonight's referee holds Xiao Hua's banner of command, but when a 38-year-old veteran with a prominent reputation in this league appears in front of you crying, no matter how hard-hearted the referees are, they will have to make the next penalty Rido thinks more.

As long as we are human, we will have humanity.

The game continued and the Knicks attacked.

Seeing Pierce who took the initiative to apply for singles against James, Lin Yi did not hesitate.

When Lin Yi invited Pierce to join last summer, it was to deal with the current situation.

In Lin Yi's previous life, when the 38-year-old Pierce joined the Wizards, both Wall and Bill looked down on him at first.

But ... it was neither Wall nor Beal who was responsible for playing clutch shots for that Wizards team.

The leather team is old, can they still eat?

On the field, with a twist of his butt, Pierce immediately turned over and fell back.

The 38-year-old Pierce's backward movement is very unsightly. It looks like he is turning over and independent, but what remains unchanged is that he completed the shot in front of James and made a successful hit.

60 to 61!

James was just pushed by Pierce while defending, but Pierce's movement was very subtle, which made James very helpless.

If Carmelo Anthony is an offensive kaleidoscope, then Pierce is definitely an offensive encyclopedia.

Basically, Pierce can give you all the tricks you can think of, including all kinds of dirty tricks and bad tricks.

How can it be possible to gallop in this cold and ruthless alliance for nearly 20 years without any unique skills?

The game continues, the Lakers attack.

James singled out Pierce easily.

But just like before, after the emperor scored a goal, Pierce signaled that the emperor elbowed him again.

Of course, unlike just now, Pierce only complained briefly to the referee this time. In addition, after complaining, the veteran seemed to have lost confidence in the referee, turned his head and ran towards the Lakers' half court.

"Old drama... well, old drama. Compared with these old dramas, today's little fresh meats are scum!" Lin Yi said with emotion as he watched Pierce's performance .

Pierce is starting to play psychological warfare.

In fact, my emperor's impact of carrying explosives will inevitably raise his elbow to protect the ball, but Pierce grasped this and counterattacked.

His first complaint was very sincere and moving, almost impressing the referee.

And his second complaint was disappointment, pure disappointment. The veteran was not only expressing his disappointment to the referee, but also inciting public opinion outside the court.

Lin Yi, who was concentrating on the field, of course doesn't know what's going on outside the field, but he believes...the public opinion has probably blown up.

"Hehe, it's not a foul for me to hang a man on Lin's shoulder. James' elbow can call the Knicks a defensive foul in turn. I just want to say, referee NMSL!"

"Fuck the referee, the league like shit! Can't deal with me, Lin, and start using off-the-board moves?"

"I feel sorry for Pierce, you uncle, take it easy, you're fucking 38 years old, don't get hurt by your elbow!"

Of course, Xiao Hua, who has already planned to go all the way to the dark, will naturally not pay attention to these public opinions.

On the court, the Knicks attacked, and the real climax came.

After receiving a pass from Lin Yi, Pierce squeezed into the inside of the Lakers with difficulty, and then he slammed into James' elbow without hesitation and completed the shot.

Then...

The veteran fell to the court.

The referees didn't whistle for my emperor's defensive foul. Don't get me wrong, because they were confused at the first time and hurriedly terminated the game.

At Staples Stadium, when Pierce stood up again with blood on his face, even the Lakers fans at the scene began to doubt... Today's referee, is it too biased towards us?

The Knicks' team doctor enters the field.

But this time, Lin Yi couldn't bear it any longer.

Because he is angry.

What he was angry about... If it wasn't for some black hand messing around behind his back, why did this happen?

On this night, Nix had been targeted. If Lin Yi hadn't had the healing technique to protect his body, he might have been lying down before acting.

Can't you have a good fight?

Even if you have the home whistle, don't be so biased, can't you?

Why do you have to think about manipulating the game, and throw the responsibility to the universe team after manipulating the game, instead of thinking about what you have done?

Classic, the reason why it is a classic is because it is a classic!

How classic is the game played according to your script?

Of course, Pierce, who successfully stopped the bleeding, did not expand the situation further, because his goal had already been achieved.

Pierce doesn't care if his acting skills will be exposed, because what's the point of being infamous?

All he cares about is the championship.

That's why he and Lin Yi turned enemies into friends last summer.

So tonight, he will "revenge" his teammates in his own way.

He wants to ignite public opinion, he wants to tell the world how ugly the game is tonight.

When Pierce returned to the court again and pulled away Lin Yi, who was arguing with the referees, even the referees dared not look him directly at this blood-stained veteran.

This fat man is still the fat man who was lame and wanted to shoot down the championship for the Celtics.

11 knives have been endured, so what is a few elbows?

Now, the purpose has been achieved.

Start fighting back, Knicks.

After the game restarted, the referees hesitated for a while and called James for a foul.

My emperor spread his hands and didn't say anything, because his defense just now was indeed a little big.

Pierce went to the free throw line and made two free throws, 62 to 63.

On the court, the Lakers attack.

After hesitating for a while, James held the ball and rushed towards Pierce again.

My emperor will not be so full of heart to sympathize with this veteran, because for the little emperor, he is too eager for a championship.

It's just... this time, the emperor was tricked into an offensive foul by Pierce with a flop.

James was furious, but no matter how much he complained, the referee did not change the sentence.

After all, from the point of view of the referees, we have protected you so many times tonight, and now... In short, the referees who don't want to be scolded too badly after the game have not noticed that, invisibly, already Hooked.

Pierce knew that the referees' misjudgment due to sympathy would not last long, because... holding the banner of Silver's command, they wanted the Knicks to die quickly.

Therefore, after fouling James, Pierce winked at Lin Yi.

Seize the opportunity and quickly overtake the score!

Lin Yi nodded.

On the court, the Knicks attacked.

Lin Yi, who entered the hinterland of the Lakers, was attacked by James and Gasol.

And the moment he saw No. 23 rushing towards him, Lin Yi didn't hesitate at all.

Although the tacit understanding with Pierce is not as good as with other teammates, Lin Yi believes that if it is Pierce, he will definitely stand where he should stand.

A no-look pass from Lin Yi.

Pierce in the bottom corner settled.

"In a basketball game, one must always use strength to speak. No matter how many plots and tricks, no matter how much conspiracy, without strength, it is nothing but floating clouds!"

Pierce catches the ball, and then it's your signature tip-toe shot.

Leaning forward slightly, Pierce, who almost kept his feet on the ground, broke the cannon in the bottom corner!

Swish——!

65 to 63, hollow net!

After the goal, Pierce clenched his fists, and on the Knicks' bench, Clay also stood up, waving a towel for the veteran.

Don't rush the years, the running sneakers have been on for 17 years, the truth of Boston, the cold gentleman's sword, and the wolf king who fights and retreats; don't rush the years, I just want to sing for you a hero without regrets, veterans never die, but Just a little old.

...

PS: The second update, 4K words.

This chapter originally wanted to write Pierce as a hero, but in Ah Qiao's cognition and Pierce's story, he is not a pure hero, because there are no absolutely good people in the NBA. No less than Kobe and James, but what can be done? I still like these old guys very much, so I wrote it like this.

PS2: Don't you think that I will use one update for two updates? Oh, no, even if this chapter is 4000 words, it is only the second update! The third one will arrive later!

PS3: In addition, recently when I saw Xiao Hua complaining that the decline in NBA ratings was due to the Cosmos team, Ah Qiao laughed... I understand, I understand, if someone doesn’t mess around, how can the Cosmos team Will it appear in piles? Of course, when the new and old NBA contracts alternate, there will definitely be problems of one kind or another, but what we really care about, aren't those unfair whistles? What about the Cosmos team... There are only one or two teams fighting for hegemony, which is not unheard of in NBA history, but those games have also become classics, haven't they?
