NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 122 Season opener!The reorganized New York Knicks!

美国东部时间1996年11月1日的晚上7点30分，联合中心在这个晚上，破例卖出了超过2000张的无座票，他们让这个原本只能坐下18771人的体育馆，疯狂的涌入了超过21000名狂热无比的球迷！

Even though almost 2500 more tickets were sold, the United Center's tickets were still in short supply on this night, and they were still quickly sold out by extremely excited fans!
In the square outside the United Center, just like the finals, countless fans once again gathered. Some people still did not give up, holding signs hoping to get a ticket to the game, and some were crazy. They chanted the Bulls championship slogan in the square, releasing their passion.

And 20 minutes before the official start of the game, thousands of fans in the square finally reached a consensus, and they launched uniform and resolute slogans.

"Bulls Champion!"

"Bulls Champion!"

"Bulls Champion!"

The fans outside the stadium are so crazy, how can the fans inside the stadium be willing to be inferior?Long before the fans outside the stadium began to revel, the more than 21000 lucky people in the United Center had already exhausted all their strength and let out huge cheers and shouts!
The fans are so excited and enthusiastic, of course there is only one reason!
Tonight is the Bulls' home opener of the new season!

At the same time, on this evening, the Bulls will also hold their championship flag-raising ceremony at the scene!The championship flag representing the NBA's highest glory will be raised high in the sky above the United Center this night!

Boss Reinsdorf will also present a brand new championship ring to his players tonight.

Even though this is the fourth time in six years that the Bulls have held such a ceremony.

But no one will feel bored, and no one will think that tonight's ceremony is insignificant.

After all, no matter how many champions there are, no one can have too many!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, accompanied by passionate and passionate music and a changeable and gorgeous light show, amidst the cheers of the mascot and cheerleading girls, the banner of the 1995-1996 NBA championship finally slowly came to light. Rising, reaching the heights of Chicago's United Arena.

The fans even went crazy and let out bursts of passionate and crazy shouts and cheers!

This night belongs to Chicago, this night belongs to the Bulls.

Everyone at the scene was crazy for this moment!
Well, not everyone. In the corner of the arena, there were about twenty people who were very unhappy with this scene and were indifferent.

"Isn't he just a championship? A country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

"FUXX! That damn Lin, if he dares to cause trouble tonight, I don't care if tonight is the night of championships. If you should get him, I'll do the same to him!"

"We were careless last time. This Lin doesn't really think he can be better than us, does he?"

"This kid really stole the show in Rucker Park this year. I doubt this kid thinks he is the King of New York!"

"Just look at his fancy and impractical style of play. How could a normal person play like that? He's just crazy! Tonight, brothers, let him know what toughness means!"

"Give him some confrontation!"

"Not only this Lin, but also Michael! I'm going to make him look good tonight! Damn it, I lost 1500 million in real money during the offseason! He actually let me go and didn't come to New York?"

"Don't worry, with a few of us joining us this year, the Bulls won't be able to win from us so easily!"

"That's right! I'm here to deal with the Chicagoans! Kill them!"

It can be seen from these conversations that this group of people is the Bulls' opponents tonight, and they are also the Bulls' old enemies. The New York Knicks have gone through a lot of changes this summer!
Just looking at the Bulls' opponents in the opening game of the new season, you can see how bad Stern and the league are!

Everyone knew that the Bulls would raise the championship flag in their opening game, and then Stern specifically found the Bulls' number one rival and biggest challenger in the Eastern Conference as their opponent in the opening game of the new season!
The Bulls don't want to lose during the championship ceremony, and the Knicks don't want to lose immediately after watching others raise the championship flag. So no need to think about this game, it will definitely be a match where sparks collide with the earth and the sky is thunderous. Wonderful game!
Both sides will definitely spell it out for you!

Stern definitely has a certain logic in arranging the schedule and opponents!
The offseason for the Knicks can be said to have started happily but ended with great disappointment.

They originally thought they could handle Jordan and showed unparalleled sincerity. The star Ewing even took the initiative to cut his salary by 1500 million on the first day of the free market and signed a one-year 1 million contract with the team. The ultra-low-price contract is to attract Jordan to join the team.

The Knicks boss was under tremendous pressure and openly tested the edges of the league's rules. At the same time, he gave Jordan two contracts: a 1200 million-year basketball contract and a 1200 million-year Sheraton Hotel endorsement contract. !

It's a pity that such great sincerity only became a bargaining chip for Jordan to raise the price. In the end, Jordan still failed to come to the Big Apple City, but stayed in Chicago.

Jordan's choice made many New Yorkers angry and felt that they had been fooled. The most angry one was undoubtedly Ewing, who lost 1500 million US dollars in salary!

That's 1500 million for riding a horse!

What made Ewing even more angry was that in order to compensate Ewing, the owner of the Knicks originally wanted to give Ewing the Sheraton endorsement contract he had won for Jordan. Of course, Ewing was very happy to accept it.

but……

Sheraton is unwilling. They feel that Ewing's image is completely inconsistent with their brand image. No guest will choose Sheraton because of Ewing's endorsement. On the contrary, many people will turn around after seeing Ewing's face. Leave and choose the Marriott next door to the Sheraton...

This summer, Ewing is definitely disappointed in both salary and endorsement. He is definitely the worst person in the NBA this offseason!

Of course, as the target of the championship, the Knicks are always tossing and never stop. They will never let Ewing's sacrifice this summer be in vain. They will not let the salary space vacated by Ewing be wasted because of saving money. Money has never been the Knicks' style!

Not only did they save nothing, they also spent it very happily!

They first used a five-year, 5 million contract to recruit their second-leading scorer from the Detroit Pistons, Alan Houston, who is known as the king of mid-range shooters!
An annual salary of 700 million yuan is indeed not very good in the 21st century, but if it were placed in the 90s, it would definitely be a super preferential contract that cannot be refused!
After all, just last season, that is, the 1995-1996 season, in addition to Ewing, who has the highest salary in the NBA with an annual salary of 1800 million, Drexler, who ranked second on the salary list, only received 770 million a year. Just US dollars!

Houston definitely got an extremely lucrative contract!
In addition to giving Houston such a huge contract, they also used Anthony Mason Jr. and draft picks to trade the former No. [-] pick from the Charlotte Hornets, "Auntie" Larry, who was in his prime. ·Johnson!
Johnson was also selected as an All-Star in 95. Last season, he averaged 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, leading the team to the playoffs.

The acquisition of this all-around offensive forward will undoubtedly be another huge reinforcement for the Knicks' firepower.

In addition to the two top scorers, the Knicks also signed Buck Williams, a former All-Star and top player in Nets history, nicknamed the 'Buck'.

Buck Williams, whose real name is Zarsu Williams, was the league's leading defensive lineman in the 80s. 'Buck' is actually the transliteration of his nickname 'Bull', purely because his nickname was too loud, which directly made many Fans have forgotten his real name and just call him Buck.

Nicknames replaced real names. Even throughout the 80s, only Magic and Buck could do it.

From this alone, we can see how brilliant Buck Williams was!His tough style and fierce playing style, coupled with his rich experience in the league for more than ten years, make him absolutely able to fill the vacancy on the team's defensive end after Mason Jr. left.

In addition, after the Knicks failed to keep Derek Harbor during the offseason, they introduced Chris Childs, the Nets' leading point guard last season, from the Nets at a high salary.

Although Childs's resume is not as good as the above-mentioned ones, and he is even an undrafted player, he was able to score 13 points and 7 assists with the Nets last season. He may not be able to be the team leader, but he has 38% of the three-pointers. With a high shooting percentage, he is definitely enough as a supplement and fire support for the team!
It can be seen from the Knicks' summer signings and big spending that they are still very ambitious in the new season!The team obviously felt that the reason for losing to the Bulls last season was the lack of offensive firepower. The team was too defensive, which caused Ewing to be alone on the offensive end. Only then did he lose in front of the terrifying firepower of Jordan and Lin Tian. .

Therefore, in the new season, they introduced three offensive players in Johnson, Houston, and Childs to fill the team's missing firepower. In the new season, they will compete with the Bulls on offense!Moreover, in order to prevent the team's defense from experiencing a huge decline, they also introduced Williams as the team's defensive support.

The strength of the Knicks in the new season cannot be underestimated!The most intuitive point is that judging from the odds of winning the Eastern Conference championship in the new season given by Las Vegas, the Knicks rank second!Many people regard them as the strongest team in the Eastern Conference besides the Bulls!

With seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied looks from the Knicks, the Bulls' championship ceremony finally came to an end under the wild cheers of the fans in the audience.

After a series of opening ceremonies, the ten starting players from both sides also took the field one after another, preparing to start the first game of the new season!
The Bulls still have their regular starting lineup from the start of the playoffs last season.

The Knicks' starting lineup is very different from last season: except for the inside partners of Ewing and Oakley, who still start together, their outside trio have all been changed.

Point guard Childs, shooting guard Houston, and small forward Johnson are lined up. At least in terms of momentum, they are not inferior to Lin Tian, ​​Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls.

"Patrick, I heard that you lost your wallet in the summer, and it cost you 1500 million?" As soon as he stepped onto the court, Lin Tian couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth to taunt Ewing.

"Michael, take care of your little brother, don't let him talk nonsense!" Ewing immediately fell into disgrace when someone poked his mind.

How can there be such a thing?You don't hit people in the face, you don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them, you're just a good person, but when you come up, you slap your ears hard in the face?
Unfortunately, Ewing clearly turned to the wrong person.

Who is Jordan? NBA’s number one petty man!

"3000:300, Patrick, remember this number, 3000:300!"

Without even thinking about it, Jordan spewed the most unpretentious and heart-wrenching trash talk at Ewing without any expression on his face.

Who allowed Ewing to shout 1800:300 all year long last season?Jordan finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge. It is conceivable that in the rest of this game, Jordan will definitely repeat this sentence at least a hundred times!

Before the game even started, Ewing's face was so dark that no expression could be seen at all. He made up his mind that he must make these Chicago bastards look good tonight!

As the referee walked onto the court and the whistle blew, Ewing let out a loud roar, jumped up high, and slapped the ball to Childs behind him.

"What a powerful momentum!" Lin Tian muttered, and then said in a voice that Ewing could hear without hiding at all: "I don't know, I thought he just made a winning shot!"

"Boy!" Ewing's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Tian: "You are dead today! I will definitely beat you up!"

Ewing cursed and quickly reached the low post. He turned his back fiercely, blocked Longley, and demanded the ball with his skill.

Childs had just arrived, so of course he would not disobey the team boss. He passed the ball to Ewing with a hit pass.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ewing, who was feeling aggrieved, got the ball and slammed into Longley behind him. Langley was in a miserable state, and he was thrown all the way to the basket by Ewing. Then Ewing again It was an elbow that hit Longley directly in the chest, and then he pulled it out and made a two-handed slam!
"boom!"

The extremely excited Ewing swung back and forth on the basket several times, then landed with great arrogance amidst huge boos from the entire United Center, and returned to defense aggressively.

"Hold them! Guard! Our road to the championship begins today!" Ewing quickly returned to the basket and shouted encouragement at his teammates.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Jordan had already run from the baseline to the wing, then turned around with the help of Longley's screen to receive the basketball from Lin Tian, ​​and he pulled up and shot from the mid-range!
How can Houston catch up with Jordan?Not to mention there were several screens along the way. I could only watch as Jordan easily picked up and threw from the mid-range, hitting a 2-pointer!
"I don't even have to dribble to beat you! I don't even have to sweat! By the way, why don't you find someone to guard me? How come I can't see any defender?" After the goal, Jordan spread his hands and issued a signature of trash talk.

"FUXX! Be on guard, Alan!" Ewing had no choice but to warn Houston: "Communicate with your teammates in time and call out if you need help!"

"I know." Houston nodded, determined to return the same one!After all, Jordan used his signature catch-and-shoot jump shot around the screen for this shot. He is familiar with this trick better than anyone else!

However, Houston hasn't attacked yet.

Ewing has been stuck in position again. In a one-on-one situation, Longley is really unable to withstand this dark and strong man!

Ewing is indeed always said to be weak and a flying kite man, and he never has an advantage against top insiders.

But if he is soft, it depends on who he is right with!When Ewing faced Olajuwon, David Robinson, and even his juniors O'Neal and Mourning, he was indeed soft and did not like to hit inside.

But tonight on the Bulls court, there is no Olajuwon or O'Neal. You are Longley, not even Australian O'Neal. Of course Ewing is as hard as a diamond!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After another collision between muscles, Ewing ran into the inside again. This time he was just about to get up, but Rodman encountered him in the defense!
Rodman is not good at blocking shots and stealing, and his basic defensive data is actually very poor, but what he is good at is appearing in the right place at the right time!
For example, this time, he appeared right in front of Ewing at the moment when he turned around and was about to take action.

Caught off guard, Ewing's shooting movement was inevitably deformed, and when he shot, it was also a little crooked.

"Snapped!"

Rodman reacted quickly. After grabbing the backboard, while still in the air, he found Lin Tian who was asking for the ball and quickly gave it to him.

"Be careful when this kid passes the ball!" Oakley was obviously well prepared for Lin Tian's fast break. He ran quickly in front of Lin Tian, ​​opened his hands and waved wildly to prevent Lin Tian from making a fast break.

But how could Lin Tian care about him?The basketball was shot out with a 'snap', and cleverly slipped under Oakley's crotch. Lin Tian turned around and dodged Oakley, caught the basketball behind him, and then only patted it again to find his own. Passing target!
"Whoosh!"

Many players on the court could only hear a burst of sound coming from the air, and then they saw that Pippen had got the basketball near the 3-second zone and took off for a dunk!

"Nice pass Lin!" After scoring the goal, Pippen reached out and touched Lin Tian.

"It's mainly because of Charles. His little brother is short and thin, so I can easily complete the crotch penetration! Are you right, Charles?" After Lin Tian and Pippen high-fived, they immediately started talking trash!
He is very lacking in experience points now!To accumulate experience, you must start working hard from the first game of the new season. You cannot relax at all!

Looking back, it was the Knicks' offense again. Ewing, who had just been blocked by Rodman, was more careful this time and took out his own step-back jumper. Longley's interference was still almost nothing. He just listened. With a 'swish' sound, Ewing also scored another 2 points!
In the Bulls' offense, Lin Tian, ​​who originally wanted to play a fast break, found that neither Pippen nor Jordan ran out of space. Instead of forcing a dangerous and beautiful ball, he chose to advance slowly and establish a position. war.

Lin Tian's choice made Jackson off the court relieved.

This kid, just for fun in the preseason, will still pay attention to his mistakes in the regular season!
You know, in the 5 preseason games, although Lin Tian averaged the most assists per game in the league, he also made the most mistakes. Jackson was really worried that this somewhat radical and gorgeous style of play would be brought into the regular season by Lin Tian.

But looking at it now, it seems that there is not.

Well, I can only watch it now.Because less than 5 seconds after Jackson was relieved, Lin Tian came again.

He was dribbling the ball at the top of the arc. One moment, he was looking at Jordan on the left, asking Jordan to take two more steps to the outside. The next moment, he had already raised the ball with one hand and smashed it into the inside!
Yes, smash!

The ball was incredibly fast and almost hit Johnson's head. After rushing into the paint like a missile, Longley almost couldn't react. He held the ball and shivered twice before finally holding the ball steady, turning around and making a hook. Score 2 points!
"Hey, it's still not necessary!" Jackson sighed. Lin Tian could obviously pass the ball with his hands in front of his chest with a more reliable hand, and pass it to Longley comfortably, allowing Longley to simply complete the hook. hand.

But Lin Tian just used a one-handed pass without looking at anyone, which scared Longley and almost made a mistake.

This pass really has no merit at all except being cool.

But for Lin Tian and the audience who once again ignited the scene, this ball is cool enough!

If he is not handsome, even if he has 100 advantages, they are all disadvantages!
On the Knicks' side, Ewing, who had attacked several times in a row, also began to look for opportunities to cooperate with his teammates. After getting the ball at the waist, he cooperated with Houston on a hand-to-hand screen. Houston got a little space and took off from mid-range. , 2 points hit!
How could Jordan just let it go after being hit? He turned around and immediately reached for the ball in the low post. He turned around and hit a jumper for 2 points, and he returned the favor!

Then the Knicks' new aid Larry Johnson caught the ball from the 3-point line at the top of the arc. Facing Pippen's defense, he actually jumped out of the 3-point line and shot, and the 3-pointer went into the net!
The offensive status of both sides was completely displayed in this quarter!
Throughout the first quarter of the game, the two sides were back and forth without giving in. Each match was better than the other, and the rounds were played very quickly!

At the 9-minute mark of the first quarter, Jordan and Rodman from the Bulls took the lead to go down to rest. Cole and Kukoc came on as substitutes. From the Knicks, Childs and Oakley went out and replaced Williams. and Starks.

Seeing his old rival from last season, Lin Tian showed no mercy. In the first round after Starks came up, Lin Tian directly forced a breakthrough to the basket to challenge Ewing!
Facing Ewing's block, Lin Tian first raised his hands in the air, then suddenly turned downwards in a counterclockwise circle, bypassed Ewing's block with his left hand, pulled the lever for a layup, and scored 2 more points!
Ewing, who was teased by Lin Tian, ​​immediately asked for the ball again in the low post.

This time Longley was accidentally fooled and was tricked into committing his second foul by Ewing. Phil Jackson immediately made a substitution and replaced Longley off the court.

Ewing made two free throws and continued to increase points for the team!
In the next 2 minutes, the offensive efficiency of both sides finally decreased. They no longer had the efficiency of the first half that they could just hit the target and raise their hands. However, despite this, there were still 20 seconds left in the first quarter. At that time, the two sides had already tied at 33:36.

Bulls, leading the Knicks by 3 points!
After Starks dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he didn't have too much entanglement with Lin Tian, ​​but directly gave the ball to Ewing in the low post!

Tonight, Ewing scored a full 18 points in the first quarter!His condition was frighteningly good, and he also caused Longley to commit 2 fouls and Wennington to commit 1 foul.

Ewing's performance tonight can definitely be called a super center!

This time, Ewing got the basketball and once again drove Wennington away.

Rodman is not on the court, but his determination to play in is extremely determined!
After easily passing Wennington, Ewing raised his hand and was about to dunk, but a black and red shadow suddenly appeared in front of him!
"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball in Ewing's hand was slapped and flew out!
"How is that possible!" Ewing's eyes widened.

Looking at the little man in front of me in disbelief!

Lin Tian!

When did this guy sneak to the basket, and how could he grasp the timing so well that he could complete this block?
No matter how unreasonable it was, no matter how unexpected it was, Ewing didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

Because the ball that was blocked by Lin Tian was caught by Wennington, and then given to Lin Tian immediately.

"run!"

Lin Tian once again shouted the word that made countless players in the league curse in their hearts.

Run, run, run, hammer, run!

But when Lin Tian started to advance, no one dared to stand still.

Because Lin Tian's current propulsion ability has long been recognized and valued by the entire league, those who dare to underestimate Lin Tian's fast break ability are either stupid or have never trained.

"Sneeze!" Iverson, who was preparing for his season opener in Philadelphia, suddenly sneezed.

Someone must be thinking of me!
I wonder if it was the blonde stripper from last night!

At the United Center, Lin Tian had already dribbled the ball all the way to the frontcourt. This was the last attack of the first quarter. Lin Tian was not in a hurry to attack, but after looking at the time, he suddenly stopped again. Standing outside the 3-point line, waiting for time to pass.

But here Ewing was exhausted. After finally running to the basket, there were only the last 4 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Lin Tian started!
He changed direction and dribbled the ball, and with his absolute speed, he passed Starks, who was even thinner than him, in one step!He rushed towards the basket from the wing!
"Boy, you're looking for death!" Ewing cursed. Even before he could catch his breath, he took a step sideways and stood in front of Lin Tian!He had just been bloodied by Lin Tian. He didn't expect that his chance for revenge would come so soon!

Facing Ewing, Lin Tian showed no fear at all. He accelerated from the flank all the way along the baseline, and then jumped up against Ewing at the edge of the 3-second zone.

"you wanna die!"

With a loud curse, Ewing also jumped up and collided with Lin Tian in the air!
But Ewing, who originally thought he could easily block Lin Tian's shot, saw in disbelief that the basketball in Lin Tian's hand was getting further and further away from him!

This kid actually turned sideways and floated towards the other side of the basket!
After a period of gliding that was visible to the naked eye and almost suspended in the air, Lin Tian finally came to the other side of the basket. At this time, unless Ewing grew an extra pair of hands, it would be impossible to interfere with Lin Tian's layup!

"Shh!"

As Lin Tian lightly raised his hands and swung the basketball toward the basket, a nice and sweet sound was heard as the basketball passed through the net!
At the same time, the buzzer sounded representing the end of the first quarter!

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Lin!"

"Oh God! What is this? Has Lin turned into a glider?"

"Levitation! Levitation in the air!"

"Through the soul! Lin can pass people in the air!"

"Patrick, is your soul okay? Has your soul been transported by Lin?"

"Top ten goals! Absolutely top ten goals!"

"He flew over Ewing! He flew over the entire 3-second zone! He was simply leaping over his entire life!"

The fans cheered one after another, and the Bulls players rushed forward to hug Lin Tian in celebration.

This ball is so freehand and amazing!
"That's it. I can complete a layup like this with my eyes closed." Jordan curled his lips, and when he saw Lin Tian coming over, he hit Lin Tian mercilessly.

"Michael, if you told me this at 25 years old, I would still believe you." Lin Tian wiped his sweat with a towel and didn't look at Jordan at all: "But you are 40 this year, can you stop bragging here? ? You can still make a layup like this now? If you can make a layup like this now, I'll give you Ewing's head as a ball!"

"Okay! It's a deal, let's do it!" Jordan, the gambler, immediately became interested when he heard that he could bet. But after agreeing, he realized something was wrong: "Do you have the final say on Patrick's head?"

"I can hold him down, just like I held Carl down, lock him up, and then you can kick him as much as you want." Lin Tian raised his arms and showed off his muscles.

His current strength is much greater than his usual strength.

At the end of the first quarter, Lin Tian saw that Wennington couldn't withstand Ewing, so he didn't think too much and directly used his 'shark blood cap (halftime)' that had O'Neal's shot-blocking ability in the 99-00 season. , otherwise Lin Tian would not have been able to help defend and complete the big block so quickly!
The improvement brought by this 'Shark Blood Cap' is obviously not just about blocking shots. Lin Tian can feel that in order to match his proper blocking ability, his jumping and strength have also improved.

Otherwise, even if he has the skill of 'Flying Mamba', it will definitely be difficult for him to complete such a large gliding distance and drawbar range.

After all, the 5% added jumping ability of the 'Flying Mamba' is really not enough for Lin Tian to challenge Ewing's rim protection.

O'Neal's jumping is definitely underestimated by many people!His ability to become the most terrifying basket overlord in history definitely depends on more than just his strength and touch. His flexibility, agility, jumping and even speed are absolutely terrifying on a monster level!
33: 38!

With Lin Tian's gliding lever, the Bulls took a 5-point lead in the first quarter.

The team's top scorer was Jordan, who scored 15 points. Lin Tian scored 6 points and 6 assists. Coupled with Pippen's 6 points and Rodman's 2 points and 6 rebounds, the Bulls' four major players The stars all performed well!
On the Knicks' side, it was basically Ewing's one-man show. He scored 18 points and 6 rebounds by himself. If he hadn't been deflated continuously in the last round, then he would have really destroyed the Bulls' entire defense by himself!
However, in the last round, Lin Tian was humiliated continuously on both offense and defense, which immediately dampened Ewing's originally ferocious first quarter performance like ancient King Kong.

In the second quarter of the game, Jordan and Rodman, the two main players who had rested for a while, continued to play with Hubble and others, while Lin Tian and Pippen took a rest off the court first.

For the Knicks, Ewing, who played the entire first quarter, also had to take a break off the court to catch his breath.

But without Ewing, the Knicks' offense will immediately turn into Starks alone taking the ball and playing depending on his mood.

No matter what tactics, team, or rationality, Starks doesn't need to be involved at all. He just needs to play and he will forget all about it.

On his good nights, he could be New York's savior, pulling the Knicks out of the abyss, but there were also nights when he would be the most hated guy in New York City, and he would hit one after another, Let the Knicks fall behind quickly.

Tonight, his opponent is Jordan. Naturally, all he can do is keep hammering.

7: 2!

After 2 minutes of the second quarter, the Bulls relied on Starks' 3-for-0 shooting to hit another climax and widen the point difference to 10 points!
Where did Van Gundy dare to hesitate? He immediately put Ewing and Houston on the court and asked Starks to come down and calm down.

So scary!In the blink of an eye, 10 points?

As soon as Ewing came on the court, the effect was immediate. The Bulls' lack of height and basket protection in the interior were once again exposed. After all, Rodman is only just over 2 meters tall. Against such a giant who is close to 220 centimeters, he There are not many methods.

After Ewing had another turmoil in the paint, hitting 2+1 from mid-range to the basket and scoring 5 points in a row, the Knicks once again narrowed the point difference to 5 points!
In tonight's game, the two sides played back and forth. At least judging from the scene, it was not easy for both sides to completely open up the score!

After another 2 minutes of the game, with only 7 minutes left before the end of the first half, Jackson made another substitution. Lin Tian, ​​Pippen and Wennington came on the scene to replace Longley, who had fouled 3 times. and Hubble and Cole.

At this time, the score between the two sides was 44:49, and the Bulls still led by 5 points!
In the first round after returning, Lin Tian unhurriedly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He winked with Wennington. The honest big man immediately stepped forward and held up Chaier. Si's defense, Lin Tian took advantage of the situation and cut inside!
Ewing also bared his teeth and stepped forward to help defend. He would not let Lin Tian continue to do whatever he wanted in the paint!
"Snapped!"

But then there was a crisp sound, and the basketball in Lin Tian's hand passed under Ewing's crotch again and flew into the hands of Rodman, who cut to the basket.

"boom!"

After a crisp sound, Rodman scored another 2 points for the team.

As for Lin Tian, ​​since he had Williams' '101 Passes', even though he has integrated his skills, he still has an unquenchable desire and desire for crotch piercing.

As if the DNA engraved in his bones had been completely activated, Lin Tian now seized the opportunity and was about to penetrate his crotch.

"Boy, where do you think this is, a circus?" Ewing looked at Lin Tian. He couldn't bear to lose face and shouted at Lin Tian: "If you use this sneaky method to attack again, I will definitely make you regret it. !”

"Why do you regret it? Kneel on the ground and beg me not to do this again?" Lin Tian shrugged and said: "If you have time to spout such useless trash, you might as well find a way to get another 2 points quickly. You are 7 behind." separated!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he quickly retreated, found Jordan, and whispered to Jordan: "Michael, wait a minute and help me take care of my people! This is Childs!"

"What are you going to do? Defend your own people! Why should I help you defend?" Jordan said, are you crazy?
Is there any reason for the NBA to let the boss of the team help the younger brother with defense?I integrated my own offense and defense and took the initiative to defend against the arrow figures on the opposite side. How much trouble did it save you guys?
You didn't take the initiative to thank me, and you actually asked me to defend you now?
"I'm going to help defend Patrick. I can't let him score easily anymore. Besides, I can shoot him, can you?" Lin Tian looked at Jordan with a matter-of-fact expression: "Besides, the Knicks are playing a team now. As a senior and junior, Dennis has to defend Johnson, who is stronger and can score. I can't let him help me defend, otherwise it will be a small loss."

"You only hit him once!" Jordan gritted his teeth, Lin Tian said, why did he deserve a beating so much?
Why are you teaching me how to play and how to defend?
"Coming!" Lin Tian didn't say any more to Jordan. Seeing the Knicks' offense rushing over again, Lin Tian clapped his hands and said: "Remember our plan!"

After several passes of the Knicks' offense, the basketball was once again in Ewing's hands. Once again, he relied on his strength and technical advantages to easily push away Wennington!

Just when Ewing was triumphantly about to make another layup, that annoying boy appeared in front of him again!
Lin Tian appeared in front of Ewing again, raising his hands high and jumping high!
Caught off guard, Ewing, who had already taken off, had no time to dodge.

He almost delivered the ball to Lin Tian with his own hands!

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and Lin Tian helped block Ewing's shot for the second time in this game!
"Run!" Jordan shouted when he saw Lin Tian blocking the shot, and sprinted towards the frontcourt.

"You are so stupid!"

Lin Tian yelled, but it was too late. Jordan and Pippen, two guys who were comfortable scoring easily on fast breaks, had almost passed the center circle, but the basketball was held by the Knicks. Already...

Lin Tian didn't control the strength of the block well. He used a little too much force and slapped the basketball into Houston's hand.

Jordan and Pippen, who had just run through half court, saw this and had no choice but to turn around quickly, trying to seize the time to return to defense.

But in a 3-on-5 halftime situation, how could the two of them have time to return to defense unless they had wings?
Before the two of them reached the 3-point line, Houston had already seized the rare opportunity and hit a mid-range jumper!
Jordan and Pippen could only turn around for the second time and prepare to participate in the offense.

"On the court from now on, only I can say the word running!" Lin Tian dribbled the ball and cursed: "Can you two have some team spirit? Can you stop thinking about fast breaks to score points and invest more in defense? Energy, don’t let everyone’s defensive efforts go in vain!”
