In the next few minutes, Ben was sent to the free throw line one after another. Riley's shark-cutting tactics really worked. Ben made 8 free throws in a few minutes and only made 3 of them.
This is already an extraordinary performance for Ben.
It means that the Bullets only scored 3 points in four offensive rounds, and the offensive efficiency was very low. The Heat also took the opportunity to recover some points, and the point difference between the two sides came to seven points.
Lin Yu quickly called a timeout and summoned the generals to his side.
His pause made Riley look extremely proud. He thought that Lin Yu was stunned by the shark-cutting tactic and would replace his boss next.
As long as Ben is out of the game, Riley is sure that Mourning can hit the Bullets' penalty area alone. By then, won't this mere seven-point difference be recovered in the blink of an eye?
He never expected that Lin Yu's timeout had nothing to do with slashing the shark. He had other plans.
"Coach, how about I leave first?"
Big Ben said shyly that he himself felt that the free throw was a bit outrageous.
"Quit? Why did you quit? How can you get a quadruple-double when you quit?!"
Lin Yu laughed and comforted Da Bendao.
Everyone looked startled, four pairs? They all suspected that they were hallucinating.
"What? Haven't you guys been paying attention to Big Ben's statistics? 3 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks!"
"The first quarter is not even over yet, and we already have this data. Tell me if you can get a quadruple-double?"
Weber's eyes almost popped out. He just noticed on the court that Ben had blocked a lot of shots on Mourning, but he didn't expect that there were already five.
He finally understood why Lin Yu provoked Mourning just now. He was helping Ben create blocking opportunities!
In an instant, Weber admired Lin Yu more and more. In order for the players to score more data, he did not hesitate to lose face and do some extraordinary things. How could such a coach not be admired?
"Yes! That's great!"
"God! Coach, have you already calculated everything? Do you know that Riley will use the shark-killing tactic on Ben?"
"It used to be difficult for Ben to score in double figures, but now it's not difficult at all. He just needs to get to the free throw line. The Heat will definitely keep sending him to free throws anyway!"
"Am I going to be able to witness the birth of four pairs tonight?"
Speedy hugged Da Ben and grinned. He was sincerely happy for Da Ben. After all, Da Ben was his ally in palace fighting.
Big Ben was so scared that he couldn't speak. Four pairs? This word was so unfamiliar to him that he couldn't even dream of it.
"Coach, I can't do it. Four doubles is not that easy."
"I only had two assists. It seems that there is not much chance of reaching double figures."
Ben scratched his head crazily. Of course he wanted a quadruple-double. No player could refuse the temptation of a quadruple-double, but he was afraid that his quadruple-double would trouble his teammates.
"Is there little chance of double figures in assists? Look at me next!"
"As long as you have the ball in your hand, pass it directly to me and I'll hit it right away!"
"If I can score a few goals, you can get a few assists. You guys don't think I can't score eight goals in the remaining time, right?"
Weber values love and justice, and immediately took Ben's assist on himself before anyone else could say anything.
Lin Yu clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, I called this timeout because of this idea. Chris's mid-range shot is definitely a weapon for assists."
"Of course, there's no need to make it too obvious. After all, we still have a lot of time."
"Tonight we will give Riley a little surprise and nail the Heat to the pillar of shame with four pairs!"
Everyone was looking forward to it. They could already imagine how sensational the scene would be after Ben scored a quadruple-double.
Riley noticed the beaming scene on the Bullets bench from a distance, and murmured in his heart. Shouldn't Lin Yu have a headache at this time about how to crack the shark-killing tactic? Why are they so happy?
After the timeout ended, the players returned to the court. Seeing Ben on the court, Riley didn't think too much. As long as Ben was on the court, it would be easy.
With the last minute left in the first quarter, Riley replaced Mourning, and Lin Yu immediately replaced Ben.
Originally relying on the shark-cutting tactics, the Heat had already chased the point difference to only three points, but in the last minute, as Mourning came off the field, Webber and Antonio Davis each scored a goal. The score difference was brought back again.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Riley had no choice but to put Mourning back on the court. Lin Yu also immediately put his base back and continued to let Riley attack.
At this moment, the physical recovery effect of "Brilliant Halo" is reflected. The five players on the Bullets field are not tired at all. Weber did not rest for a second, and the field is still full of energy.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat's four accumulated fouls had not been used up, and Riley was not crazy enough to immediately start cutting money.
When the four accumulated fouls were used up, the point difference between the two sides returned to double digits again, and then Ben began to frequently go to the free throw line.
The audience was already booing Pat Riley. The fans paid a lot of money to attend the game, not to watch Ben's lame free throws.
The shark-cutting tactic is originally a crooked tactic that cannot be put on the table. It cannot even be regarded as a tactic. Riley uses it so frequently, which greatly reduces the enjoyment of the game.
The score was gradually chased back by the Heat. By the end of the first half, the Heat were still leading by one point.
Lin Yu didn't care at all, he was enjoying Ben's charming half-time data.
8 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 9 blocks and 1 steal. He is already within easy reach of a quadruple-double!
What's a pity is that even though Ben recorded 9 blocks in the half, he couldn't break any block-related record.
The NBA record for blocks in a single quarter is 8, all set by Bullets legend Manute Bol. Mutombo also had 8 blocks in a single quarter once in his career, but it was only in 2000.
The half-time block record is 11, held by Lakers legend Elmo Smith. He blocked 12 opponents of the Trail Blazers in that game and scored 17 blocks in total. This is also the number of blocks in a single game in NBA history. Record.
Although Ben failed to break the record for blocks, his free throws did.
Ben made a total of 22 free throws in the first half and missed 14 of them. Whether it was the number of free throws in the half or the number of missed free throws in the half, they all ranked first in history. And looking at Riley's posture, it was impossible not to miss 14 of them in the second half. Continue to cut the budget, and after the game is over, the records of free throws in a single game and missed free throws in a single game will definitely be huge.
In addition, there may be free throws or missed free throws in a single quarter, which means that Ben will break five or six free throw-related records tonight.
In this era, although the shark-cutting tactic has been used by some people, it is not as crazy as that used in later generations. Warcraft Howard twice made 39 free throws in a single game, and O'Fa also had 39 free throws in a single game in the 99-00 season. Currently, His records are far less numerous, just 28 in a single game, and already 22 in half a game. It's easy to break the record.
Less than three minutes into the second half, Ben got his tenth block.
Of the 10 blocks, seven came from Mourning, two from P.J. Brown, and one from Marley.
After another two minutes, the Heat's cumulative foul reached their fifth, and they began to use shark-cutting tactics against Ben. Not long after, Ben made two of six free throws and scored two points. His personal score had been successfully scored. It's 10 minutes.
10 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 10 blocks, only the last three assists are missing, and the four-double is just one shot away.
Of course, Riley also noticed Ben's personal data. He also wanted to prevent Ben's quadruple-double, but unfortunately he was unable to do so. There was still one and a half quarters left in the game, and he could get three assists no matter what.
The only thing Riley wants now is to win this game. As long as he wins the game, he will have the last laugh.
After scoring in double figures, Ben immediately passed the ball to Weber as long as he had the ball in his hand. Before the end of the third quarter, Ben got two more assists.
After three quarters, Mourning's face was already ugly. He was not angry, but tired.
His average playing time this season is about 35 minutes. He still needs to take painkillers to be able to play for so long. But tonight, he has played high-intensity for 35 minutes in the first three quarters. He is constantly fighting with Big Ben on the court, and his physical fitness It's almost reached its limit.
In the fourth quarter, Riley still let Mourning continue to play. A tough guy like Mourning couldn't find an excuse not to play, so he went ahead anyway.
Daben looked lively and energetic, as if he had inexhaustible physical energy.
The last assist came two minutes into the fourth quarter, and the referee directly gave an official timeout.
Usually when this kind of historical data appears, the referee will give an official timeout to let the players and fans celebrate together.
"Four pairs!"
"12 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and 12 blocks, the fifth quadruple-double in NBA history was born!"
"The only player with a quadruple-double in his rookie season, the youngest player with a quadruple-double in history!"
"After Mr. Unseld won the regular season MVP in his rookie season, we once again witnessed the birth of a miracle!"
"Who can believe that the undrafted player half a year ago can have such a dominant performance tonight? He is our pride!"
“The Verizon Center welcomes a new bone crusher!”
The DJ at the scene shouted passionately, and the fans stood up and cheered for Big Ben.
Being able to witness the birth of such historical data is an unforgettable memory for any fan.
Unseld was so excited that he was dancing for joy. When Lin Yu said he would hit a quadruple-double on the Heat, he didn't believe it at all and thought Lin Yu was crazy.
Now it was Unseld who was mad.
"I chose! I chose the players!"
"Pat, you see clearly, I don't even need a draft pick to pick a player who can beat you!"
"Can you do it? No, you can only poach other people's corners and play tricks behind the scenes. You will never be able to get on the stage."
Lin Yu shook his head and smiled helplessly. From Riley's previous poaching of Uncle Huo to Weber being frozen in the All-Star game, Unseld was settling old and new grudges together.
