Chapter 706 This one shot challenged the Celtics' 60-year record.
The wicked Lin Tian remained silent once again after saying those words, and Parker really wanted to hit him now.
Even if it's his respected elder brother, torturing him like this is going too far!
With five seconds left in the third quarter, Lin Tian suddenly asked, "Do you remember how you and Eva met?"
How did you meet?
Parker has been fooled again!
The French brand "Slapstick" truly lives up to its name!
Lin Tian seized the opportunity and sprinted towards the inside!
Parker, realizing what was happening, quickly turned around and tried to catch up with Lin Tian, but Lin Tian once again unleashed his signature move.
He took a step back and pulled back beyond the three-point line, and Parker, having started too late and chased too fast, was now unable to catch up.
He even lost his balance because Lin Tian was too fast! If Parker hadn't reacted quickly and weighed himself on the ground with one hand, he would definitely have been knocked over by Lin Tian!
Even though he braced himself with his hands, he was still half-fallen by Lin Tian's movements!
Then Lin Tian drew his bow and shot decisively from beyond the three-point line!
"Buzz!"
Just as Lin Tian took a three-pointer, the whistle blew to end the third quarter.
Whether this shot goes in or not, it will be the last shot of the third quarter!
The entire TD Garden fell silent again, but somehow, this time the Boston fans weren't nervous at all.
Because at this moment, a rather strange thought arose in the minds of many people.
That's confidence in Lin Tian!
How could Lin Tian's buzzer-beating shot, after shaking off the opposing player, possibly miss?
"Whoosh!"
Then, Lin Tian didn't disappoint the Boston fans! His buzzer-beating three-pointer went in!
The Knicks have once again taken a 5-point lead!
84: 79!
"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! A breathtaking third quarter!" Kenny roared as Lin Tian scored. "Neither side is giving an inch, it's a close contest! Both teams are playing at their absolute best!"
"The third quarter began with Duncan leading his team to a comeback with two consecutive 2+1 plays after they were down by 5 points! And at the end of the third quarter, Lin scored 5 consecutive points, leading the team to regain a 5-point lead!"
"This quarter was incredibly close, ending in a complete tie! This means the fourth quarter will be even more exciting! The battle in the fourth quarter is bound to be even more intense!"
"I can't wait!"
On the court, after scoring the buzzer-beater, Lin Tian didn't celebrate. Instead, he looked at Parker and asked, "So, remember now?"
"Eva took the initiative to send me a text message, introduced herself, and said she wanted to get to know me."
The near-collapse just now reminded Parker of how he met Eva.
"That's what she texted me." Lin Tian, being a decent person, didn't let this mystery bother Parker for the entire game. He chose to tell Parker at the end of the third quarter, "She asked me for your contact information."
"But how did she get your contact information?" At this moment, his intelligence prevailed, and Parker asked a crucial question.
"The other housewife told her, it was Susan Mayer," Lin Tian generously cleared up Parker's doubts.
In other words, the two people have a good relationship. If it were someone else, Lin Tian would at least have to wait until the end of the competition before helping him resolve his doubts. He would have to make the other person feel disgusted for the whole competition before saying anything!
But for Parker, three disgusting quarters is Lin Tian's limit!
There's nothing we can do; Master Lin is kind-hearted!
He couldn't bear to see his good buddy looking like he'd swallowed a fly.
Hmm... I can't stand seeing my good buddy maintain a disgusting expression like he'd swallowed a fly the entire game.
"Who's Susan?" Parker frowned, looking like he didn't remember, then suddenly said, "Terry Hatcher, right! She played Susan in 'Desperate Housewives'! She and Eva were best friends!"
The happy Parker didn't notice Lin Tian's expression, but turned around happily and went back to the bench.
It wasn't just happiness; after returning to the bench, he even felt a little guilty!
My wife was introduced to me by my older brother!
He never told me all these years; he's been an unsung hero all these years.
But I doubt him, I doubt him and my wife...
I'm such a scumbag!
Parker was gripped by self-doubt, and his earlier excitement was replaced by melancholy once again.
It has to be said that Duncan's nickname "Dumb" is just because he looks dull, but this guy is actually very cunning, shrewd and full of bad ideas, a complete repressed pervert.
But Parker's nickname is "Silly Parker"...
That's pretty true, this guy really isn't very smart.
As for Ginobili's nickname "The Bald," you'd have to ask Duncan; it has nothing to do with Lin Tian.
Parker ignored Lin Tian and quickly ran back to the bench, while Lin Tian scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and muttered something as he turned to walk towards the bench as well.
"Is her name Hatcher? Maybe. Wait, is it Susan? Or is it Brie or Gabriel?"
"Hmm, no, it wasn't Gabriel. Gabriel is Eva. Then who was it that I slept with again?"
During the entire two-minute break, Lin Tian racked his brains trying to remember who it was and what had happened.
Then, some details hidden deep in his memory surfaced in Lin Tian's mind.
Superman! Lin Tian once came to the Daily Planet office with her dressed as Superman!
That's it! It matches up! There really is such a thing!
It's confirmed, it's Susan, it's Teri Hatcher. She played Superman, so she was able to take me to the abandoned film set, right?
It matches perfectly! It matches exactly!
That's how it is.
Lin Tian was satisfied; Lin Tian felt comfortable.
In the fourth quarter, he can continue fighting with all his might!
It feels so good to solve a case like this!
Parker must have felt the same way I did just now, right?
However, at this point in the game, neither coach brought their key player onto the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Lin Tian and Duncan were both sitting on the sidelines.
The other key players on both sides continued to fight on the court, while Lin Tian and Duncan needed to make the most of their last rest time tonight to recover properly!
It could be 1 minute, 2 minutes, or just a few tens of seconds.
In any case, they should rest as much as possible and be ready to return to the court at any time!
In the early part of the fourth quarter, both sides played quite well, led by Howard and Stoudemire, with both offense and defense showing great promise.
The score difference between the two sides hovered around 5 points, sometimes 3 points, sometimes 7 points, but in short, neither side could further widen or narrow the gap!
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Rivers finally couldn't hold back any longer.
With the Celtics trailing, Rivers had no choice but to bring on Duncan and Ginobili, replacing Bell and Gomez.
At this point, the score difference between the two sides was still 5 points!
When Duncan came on, the effect was immediate!
He immediately backed down Okur and scored 2 points for the team with a turnaround hook shot!
This time, Don Nelson didn't repeat the mistake the team made last time they lost. Instead of forcibly limiting Lin Tian's playing time, he took advantage of the dead ball situation to bring Lin Tian onto the court.
In the first round after Lin Tian entered the arena, he was not in a hurry at all. He stretched out a hand to signal everyone to calm down and settle down.
He let the basketball roll on the floor, following it closely until it stopped rolling, then he picked it up and started his attack!
"Mehmet!" Lin Tian shouted as he arrived at the frontcourt, calling Okur to the top of the arc. He immediately used the screen and rushed into the three-point line!
Howard, who came out with Okur, tried to keep up with Lin Tian by relying on his physical strength, but Lin Tian didn't even glance at him. Instead, he continued to accelerate and passed by Howard in the blink of an eye, driving straight into the basket.
He held the basketball high, turned sideways, and flew at an angle, as if he was about to force the basketball into the basket!
If this shot goes in, it will be a huge boost to the Knicks' morale!
At a moment like this, such a beautiful and spectacular side dunk is enough to make teammates secrete a lot more adrenaline!
"Don't even think about it!"
Duncan, using his natural defensive instincts, moved into position under the basket in one step, trying to stop Lin Tian from scoring.
Howard did the same, his superhuman physical abilities were fully unleashed, he turned around with incredible speed, then took a step forward and took off from the side, trying to block Lin Tian!
Two inside players, one standing on the right and the other on the left, one standing still with his hands raised, the other soaring high to try and block!
The defensive pressure and coverage of these two players absolutely deserve the word 'terrifying'!
Seeing that all his space to attack was blocked, Lin Tian made another decision in an instant. His left arm, which had been stretched out far away, was retracted in an instant. At the same time, he used his waist and abdomen to shrink his whole body slightly.
"Snapped!"
His sudden contraction immediately cost Howard dearly! Howard, who had already taken off, couldn't force a change of direction in mid-air, so he could only helplessly crash into Lin Tian, sending Lin Tian flying towards the baseline.
At the very least, it can prevent this guy from completing a poster dunk.
Two free throws it is.
In a split second, Howard made an assessment and felt that although he had committed a foul, it was definitely not a bad deal!
Anyway, this is only his third foul, which is enough!
Importantly, he successfully turned Lin Tian's dunk, which was enough to energize the entire Knicks team, into two unremarkable free throws.
Blood earned!
But Howard still underestimated Lin Tian!
After being knocked away by Howard, Lin Tian did not lose his balance, nor did he lose control of his body.
Even after being bumped by Howard, Lin Tian used the force to stretch his body again.
Then, Lin Tian, who had already been knocked out of bounds, once again made a move behind the backboard!
He raised the ball again and tossed it high into the air!
The basketball bounced over the backboard and then dropped vertically downwards.
Under the incredulous and disbelieving gazes of Howard, Duncan, and others, Lin Tian's shot after the rebound got closer and closer to the basket.
"Whoosh!"
Then came a crisp sound as Lin Tian's backhand throw, which defies easy description, went in!
And of course, the referee's whistle is indispensable.
2+1!
Lin Tian scored a 2+1 once again!
"Roar roar roar roar roar!"
Lying on the floor, Lin Tian clenched his fists and roared fiercely at the ceiling above him, at the 16 championship banners and the retired jerseys with 23 numbers on the ceiling of the North Shore Garden!
I, Lin Tian, will once again crush your so-called number one NBA powerhouse today!
This roar was Lin Tian's challenge to the entire 60-year history of the Celtics!
The next moment, the Knicks players rushed over and celebrated with Lin Tian!
At any time, such a miraculous goal can make his teammates incredibly excited and boost their morale!
The effect of Lin Tian's shot was definitely no less than, if not better than, a dunk!
That one basket was enough to completely overwhelm the Celtics with the Knicks' momentum!
"It's alright, it's not your fault!" Duncan then stretched out a large hand and rubbed the bewildered Howard's head, saying, "You defended Dwight very well! This is the best help defense I've ever seen!"
"In the entire history of the league, there won't be another center who can make that kind of turnaround and chase defense with that speed! You absolutely have the best defensive superstar center in NBA history!"
Howard was not comforted by Duncan's words and remained quite depressed.
Lin Tian's shot really gave him a huge shock!
This was enough to make him doubt whether he should continue to play so hard on defense.
That's the effect of a crazy goal!
It can excite teammates and drive opponents to despair!
Often, just one ball can give a team momentum and lead to a scoring run!
It's a bit of a shame tonight, though, that the Celtics have Duncan on their side!
A person's name may be wrong, but a person's nickname will never be wrong!
The nickname "The Stone Buddha" refers to more than just Duncan's unchanging expression and naturally curly hair.
The nickname truly refers to Duncan's almost unchanging, unwavering mentality, as steadfast as Buddha or The Rock!
After Lin Tian made the free throw, widening the gap to 6 points again, Duncan knew that he was on his own now!
He asserted his position with unwavering force, even resorting to extremely rare foul language.
"Give me that damn ball!"
The basketball immediately came into Duncan's hands. He then slightly lowered his center of gravity, felt the defense behind him, and suddenly accelerated and turned around!
He turned and brushed past Okur, but then, unlike usual, he didn't do two more feints or a hook shot or a throw.
This time, Duncan didn't care that Okur hadn't been completely shaken off. He even waited a bit until Okur returned to his defensive position before finally pulling up!
He put his hands behind his head, jumped with all his might, and after colliding with Okur in mid-air, he suddenly exerted force with both hands, slamming the basketball hard towards the basket!
Okur was stunned! He had never seen Duncan so violent; he even thought he was seeing things.
He suspects that O'Neal has taken over Duncan's body!
But in short, he couldn't react in time, he couldn't put up any resistance, and he couldn't do anything except pull Duncan's arm with his hand.
"boom!"
"Beep beep!"
Another earth-shattering bang rang out simultaneously with the referee's whistle.
Duncan completed a Shaq-esque dunk!
And this time, Duncan no longer suppressed his passion.
"Roar roar roar roar roar!"
He roared in the same style as Lin Tian!
Duncan's roar was also directed at the jerseys and championship banners on the ceiling.
The difference is that Lin Tian is a challenge.
Duncan, on the other hand, put those seniors at ease.
I will protect the glory of North Shore Gardens!
This time, it was the North Shore Garden fans' turn to revel! It was their turn to celebrate wildly and roar with madness!
Lin Tian's incredible shot can boost the morale of the entire team.
Duncan's move will achieve the exact same effect!
After parting ways with all his teammates and after the celebrations ended, as Duncan walked toward the free-throw line, his eyes met Lin Tian's.
"I've lost enough! I won't lose again!"
"I've heard the same thing many times, like Shaq and Kobe, but no one has been able to do it."
"I'm different from them! Completely different!" Duncan, unusually hot-blooded, stared at Lin Tian, refusing to budge an inch.
"Of course you're different." Lin Tian shrugged. "Those two have come to fight me almost every year! Since 2000, right? How many times have they lost to me? Four times? Five times? I can't remember."
"But you've only lost once, and that makes it two times in total. Most of the time, you don't have a chance to lose to me."
Heartbreak!
Duncan felt as if his heart had been stabbed.
Having been stabbed, Duncan decisively decided to ignore Lin Tian to prevent him from disturbing his Dao heart.
Duncan turned and walked to the free-throw line, choosing to quickly take the free throws.
Let's focus on the game; we can talk about arguing later.
"Whoosh!"
With Duncan making the free throw, he successfully offset the morale boost that Lin Tian's shot had given the Knicks, and he successfully withstood Lin Tian's incredible shot.
Both sides are now in high spirits and have entered a bloodthirsty state.
duel!
In the next few minutes, both sides pushed the limits of intensity and discipline! The most brutal and exciting moment of this series has arrived! (End of Chapter)
