NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 152 Beating the referee?Mona Lisa opened a bottle of Pure Life!
"Oh oh oh oh! God! What did we see!"

"New trapeze! Brand new trapeze!"

"Michael Lin!"

"Crazy airborne! Terrifying gliding distance! At this moment, Lin is possessed by Drexler's soul!"

"It's terrible! What did I just see?"

The fans and DJ at the scene all went crazy because of Lin Tian's goal!
Ultra-long gliding distance, perfect turn timing, powerful confrontation ability and core strength, plus an almost incredible feel.

Added together, this is Lin Tian's incredible buzzer-beating layup!
"This shot! It can definitely be called a work of art! Lin's shot can be called the Mona Lisa on the basketball court! It's so gorgeous! It's so imaginative! Let's watch it again, no, again Watch the replay 10 times! Someone tell our director not to show commercials during breaks!"

"Let Lin do this layup! Play it on a loop, keep playing it!"

Marcus, who was also commentating on this game tonight, went crazy again!This buzzer beater was so powerful that it made him incoherent!

Then, something happened that made him even more incoherent——

"Lin stood up from the floor! He's going to celebrate! Let's see what kind of action he will use to celebrate this flawless round! What action he will use to match this one that is worthy of being recorded in history. What about the round? Let’s see, Lin, Lin punched! Is he going to celebrate with a void jab?”

"His direction, his direction seems a little wrong! Oops! Hit! Lin hit Crawford!"

"Oh!"

A muffled sound came from Lin Tian's fist!
After Lin Tian's layup just now, he lost his balance. Then, immediately after he got up from the ground, he opened his mouth and cheered crazily, then clenched his fists and turned towards him. waved out from behind!

It seemed that he wanted to express his excitement with a jab into the air!
This type of celebration is not unusual.

When Jordan hit 'the shoot' that eliminated the Cavaliers in the playoffs, he still jumped up and punched the sky!

Similar celebrations that are most familiar to audiences in the 21st century include Tracy McGrady's turning around and punching after 35 seconds and 13 minutes, Tyson Chandler's set of Luti's series of punches after completing a fatal block in his twilight years, and Bu When Zell was with the Bulls, he had a similar way of celebrating after the 2+1 fight!
Lin Tian's move, to say the least, was more like Jordan's move. His whole body was completely stretched out, and he could see that he had used all his strength.

In terms of momentum, he looks more like Chandler, with his mouth wide open, roaring in celebration, but in terms of chicness and demeanor, he looks more like McGrady!
Well, judging from the result, it's more like Boozer, with someone standing behind him!

Crawford let out a scream and fell to his knees!
Lin Tian's punch almost knocked out his overnight meal!

Crawford knelt on the ground, retching and coughing non-stop. He felt that his internal organs were all tangled together.

"I didn't mean it, I swear." Lin Tian squatted next to Crawford and said, "I really didn't want to kill you, and I really didn't want to hit you."

"No!" Crawford endured the severe pain. After saying a word, he almost couldn't breathe and sat down on the floor again.

Fortunately it didn't hit.

Lin Tian swore that he really didn't see Crawford behind him. He was shocked just now.

What happened, suddenly a big black mouse appeared behind him.

Lin Tian almost staggered himself.

At this time, the doctors off the court had quickly ran into the court. They wanted to check whether Crawford was okay, but Lin Tian kept looking at Crawford.

How to do it?

Do you still need to use the method you have thought of to get back at him?

If not, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

But if you continue to use it, it seems a bit inhumane!

They were all beaten by themselves!

Seeing Crawford's miserable state, Lin Tian kept scratching his head, thinking about whether to apologize?

But at this time, the entire United Center fans were already laughing. At this time, the big screen at the scene was playing Lin Tian's buzzer puller over and over again, and then, so damn hard, the picture would freeze every time. The moment Lin Tian punched Crawford in the stomach.

Even Marcus and Smith in the CBS live broadcast room could hardly bear it now.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people are veterans who have been working in the commentary industry for more than ten years, they would have to hold their stomachs and laugh at this moment.

This is too coincidental, and this is too funny!
How do you describe this scene of hitting an epic layup and then punching the referee?

It was as if Mona Lisa, after smiling, suddenly picked up a bottle of Junsheng, bit it open with her teeth, and shouted: "Yo! We are all brothers having fun together!"

Anyway, it is very inconsistent!

But no matter how inconsistent it was, it just happened. In the next 20 years, every time someone looks back at Lin Tian’s wonderful 1-on-4 layup, they have to take another look at Lin Tian angrily hitting Crawford in the stomach. picture

What is contrasting cuteness?
This is the cute contrast!

"Do you think Lin did it on purpose? Is he punching him in retaliation for the technical foul he got for no reason in the first second of the game?" Marcus suddenly smiled evilly and asked the question to Smith. .

"I think instead of wondering here whether Lin did it on purpose, we should see what Crawford will choose now. Will he give Lin a second technical foul and send him off the court directly?"

How could a veteran like Smith be so easily fooled? He quickly gave an almost perfect answer, turning all the audience's attention back to the game.

At this time, Crawford was already rubbing his belly and stood up with a pale face. He walked step by step to the monitor, turned on the playback, and started watching.

Once, twice, three times.

Crawford watched the surveillance footage from the previous round over and over again.

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV watched the replay on the big screen in the center of the stadium over and over again.

The more carefully Crawford looked, the happier the fans laughed.

Otherwise, why do we say that the core of comedy is tragedy?

This punch is the best proof!

After watching the replay on the monitor more than 20 times, Crawford finally turned around, found the staff at the technical desk, and told him his penalty.

"2 points valid!"

Gone!

Just this sentence!
Crawford watched it 20 times and only saw that Lin Tian's shot was indeed shot before the lights came on, so it was definitely effective!
As for Lin Tian’s punch...

Crawford read it more than 20 times and couldn't find any evidence to prove that Lin Tian did it on purpose.

Because Lin Tian didn't look in his direction from the beginning to the end, and he was indeed randomly waving his fists in celebration.

In any case, regardless of whether Crawford recognized it or not, he could only assume that Lin Tian's punch was unintentional.

After all, even if it was a punch, it was an accident after the game time was over. Crawford really couldn't find an excuse to give Lin Tian another technical foul.

After all, according to the rules of the NBA and the basketball world, during the game, referees are a non-existent wall of air. Any basketball or player that touches them is treated as if it only touched air.

Since Lin Tian couldn't find any evidence that it was intentional, Crawford could only endure it.

At least, it didn't hurt the descendants, right?Even if Crawford doesn't have much use for this thing anymore...

During the intermission of the first quarter, Cowens did not go to Rice to say anything this time. He felt that Rice was not beaten enough.

It will take a few more severe beatings before this guy realizes his good intentions.

Not to mention that the score difference was almost 30 points after the first quarter. Instead of wasting energy here thinking about how to recover the score, it is better to lie flat and let the Bulls completely wake up Rice!
Cowens has even made up his mind and is ready. If Rice can be beaten and wake up and listen to him, then Cowens will study some useful tactics and fight with the Bulls and Phil. Jackson taught him a lesson, and even if he really couldn't beat the Bulls and was swept, Cowens believed that the future prospects of this Hornets team would be bright!
But if the Bulls can't wake up Rice, and if this guy looks like this for four consecutive games, then he will resign at the end of the series!He doesn’t want the rest of his salary!With such a stubborn mind, if he continues to coach, Cowens feels that he must be destined to make money and not spend his life!
He will definitely be pissed to death!

In order not to be mad at Les, the first thing Cowens did was to stop talking to Les and not give Les a chance to talk to him!
Then go on the court and get beaten!

I don’t have to worry about that anymore!

Trailing by nearly 30 points in the first quarter, the team's first core was completely locked up by the opponent, and their performance was no different from that of an undercover agent. The head coach was completely flat and didn't think about how to close the score.

Needless to say, you can guess the ending of this game for the Hornets.

In this game, Jordan finally didn't score another 50 points, but once again it only took him 3 quarters to make 22 of 18 shots, 3 of 1 1-pointers, and score 37 points without a single free throw!Although the shooting rate is still over 80%, at least Jordan did not score 50 points tonight.

For the Hornets, the only good news is probably that Rice did not break the NBA's historical turnover record tonight, but it just didn't break it.

他最后只失误了10次，和88-89赛季的凯文·约翰逊以及93-94赛季的安芬尼·哈达威并列NBA季后赛单场失误榜No.1！
Apart from the nightmarish 10 turnovers that did not set a new historical record, there really is no good news for the Hornets tonight...

Rice continued to play hard, and his performance made the United Center basket completely crooked: he made only 15 of 1 shots, and only scored 3 points in the whole game!
Jordan's personal defense, coupled with the Bulls team's tacit understanding of assist defense, supplementary defense and rotation defense, made Rice tonight not like playing a game in Chicago, but like a trip to hell.

It's so miserable!
Even Rice, even if he was extremely confident before tonight, even if he dared to yell at Jordan during the game.

After this night, he finally calmed down.

As Cowens wished, he was finally discouraged, and Rice finally began to consider whether he shouldn't play like this and whether he had made the wrong choice.

At least, in the post-game press conference, Rice didn't say anything like "I will beat Jordan, I will let the world know my name, and know that I am no worse than Jordan."

The war of words between him and Jordan has finally come to an end.

Jordan himself had no interest in chasing down a lost dog, especially one that was so helpless and helpless after being beaten by him. He rarely answered reporters' questions about Rice.

Bullying the weak can only be done once in a while, but chasing and beating them every day would be a bit boring.

After another easy 2-game winning streak at home, the Bulls have won 13 consecutive games since last year's Eastern Conference Finals. They have not lost in 4 series. The dominance of this team, It has become increasingly scary and frightening.

What they have to do next is to bring this sense of fear and oppression to Charlotte, so that Charlotte people can experience the terror of Jordan and the Bulls up close!
At this time, in the Charlotte Hornets' home training facility, the Hornets are preparing for their first training since returning to their home court.

At this time, Cowens was not in a hurry to start training. Instead, he sat on a chair, looked at Rice and said: "Glenn, tell me, after such a bad performance in the away game, what do you think about our next game?" How do you watch the two games at home?”

"Coach, I am very confident! I still believe that we can win! At least, we have not lost a home game, and we still have the chance to get the score back to 2:2 at home! I believe that my brother and I can do it!"

Looking at Rice's confident and determined eyes, Cowens couldn't help but nodded.

Although this guy is stubborn, has a small brain, likes to deceive himself and others, and has no clear vision of his own position and no self-awareness, at least he is very good in terms of desire to win and self-confidence!
At the very least, when the Hornets are now distracted and everyone wants to end the season and go on vacation, Rice still maintains a very strong desire to win!

Don't waste so much energy on him!
As long as there is progress, everything is easy to say!

Next, let’s see how I, Cowens, use my skills and have two good games with the Bulls in Charlotte!Let the world know that we, the Charlotte Hornets, are definitely not pushovers!

"I already know why we lost the first two games!" Rice said, patting his chest: "I lost because I was too high-profile, because I was too public, and because I provoked Jordan and the Bulls too early and made them I made adequate preparations and studied my playing style carefully, so I fell into their defensive traps again and again!" Cowens nodded as he listened to Rice's words.

This guy is pretty good!
Otherwise, failure is the mother of success?
"So! This time I didn't give any interviews before the game, and I didn't say even a big word to the media. I wanted the whole world to feel that I was scared and scared! Only in this way will the Bulls take it lightly!"

"Well said! That's it Glenn! Remember, temporary failures are not terrible, they will only become stepping stones on our road to success! It will be the most wonderful scenery on our road to success! The more painful the failure, the sweeter the success will be !Glenn, I’m so glad you realize that!”

"Thank you, coach!" Rice said more confidently after Cowens' encouragement: "So, the Bulls will definitely not conduct any high-intensity targeted defense against me in the third game. They will definitely take this lightly. At that time, if you pull away and let me continue to beat Jordan alone, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort and beat Jordan to the point where he is running away!"

"That's right..." Cowens said halfway, then his eyes widened and he looked at Rice in disbelief.

What did this idiot say just now?
Am I too old and hearing hallucinations?
"Coach, do you think I'm right?" Rice saw Cowens looking at him, thinking that Cowens was impressed by his courage and confidence, and immediately asked with a smile.

"I'm going to give you a rock sugar pear!" Cowens yelled angrily: "Are you mentally ill? Do you know how to play basketball? You like playing alone so much, why don't you go play tennis or play horse racing? Just get in the boxing ring! Why are you playing here?"

"I still want to challenge Jordan! I still want to challenge Jordan! Are you brainless? Can't you see that Jordan can blow you to pieces with just one hand? Can he hang you up and whip you with a whip? You two, Not a player of the same level at all!”

"When will you realize this?"

Cowens' voice became louder and louder, and finally it even turned into a roar. He roared loudly at Rice: "You idiot! If you want to continue to lose two consecutive games at home by 5-60 points, , then you continue to give me singles! But if you, a damn idiot, still want to win, then obey me!"

"Understood! Be obedient to me! Listen to my command to play! Don't challenge damn Jordan! Do you understand? You can't beat him! I'll say it again, you are a noob, you will never be able to beat Jordan in this life, do you understand? !”

"Coach...coach?" Rice never thought that Cowens, who was always elegant, calm and personable, could burst into such a series of crazy roars. He was a little confused by the yelling and tentatively said: "Coach, Actually, can I try again, even for one section?”

"Just give it a try! You want to try, right? Okay! I'll resign now! I won't serve you anymore! I'll go to the management to submit my resignation now! Then, you can do whatever you want, okay? If you're happy , you can be your own coach! Is that okay?" Cowens had completely entered a state of rage and roared at Rice.

"No, coach, I'm willing to listen to you." Rice was frightened by Cowens' almost crazy roar and fierce attitude.

He swallowed and gave in immediately.

"I will fight you how you tell me to."

Cowens breathed heavily, looked at Rice, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, he was still scolding himself in his mind.

FUXX!If I had known it was so simple, if I had known that a loud roar would solve the problem, I would have yelled at you like an idiot during the intermission of the first game!That time, maybe it’s 1:1 now!
But fortunately, it’s not too late!
In addition, starting from the evening when the second game of the series between the two sides ended, the league finally stopped holding back and hid it. They began to announce the major awards for this season's regular season one after another!
Moreover, when it was announced this time, it was announced along with many awards!

The first to come out are the two management awards, best manager and best head coach.

The Best Manager was awarded to Donnie Walsh of the Knicks. This guy made drastic changes to the team after taking office. He sent away Mason Jr. and welcomed Houston and Johnson to make the team's lineup more solid. Powerful and balanced!
Of course, the biggest reason why he won this award was actually because Ewing signed the one-year, 1 million contract!Although he failed to wait for Jordan in the end, Walsh's move directly saved the Knicks owner at least 300 million!What boss wouldn't like this kind of general manager?
Things got done, money was saved, and I couldn't have asked for a better manager!

As for the best head coach award, it was taken away by Pat Riley of the Miami Heat. He has been constantly changing the team since last season.

He successfully acquired Mashburn at a low price, exchanged for 'Beetle' Hardaway, reused two second-year players Leonard and Danilovich, and also introduced defensive champion PJ Brown and absorbed powerful veteran Dan Marr. profit.

With every operation and signing, a good eye for drafting and knowing people well, it took Riley only one year to help the Heat barely enter the playoffs from 45 wins last season, and transform into the best team in the league this year. Top powerhouse, winning the best regular season record in team history with 61 wins!
The name of the divine fortune teller resounds throughout the world again!

Many people even say that it was because Riley's operations started last season and continued intermittently for two seasons that he missed the best manager and suffered a big loss.

But if the best general managers of last year and this year were combined into one, then Riley would 100% be elected with a high vote!
Perhaps it was because he suffered a loss in the selection of the best manager that he was able to win another best coach trophy in the hands of Jackson and Sloan!
All I can say is that everything is human.

Then, the league announced this season's best rookie and best rookie lineup.

With All-Star-level data averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, Allen Iverson was undoubtedly elected as the Rookie of the Year with a high vote!

The best rookie team is composed of Iverson, Raheem, Camby, Marbury and Walker!
Ray Allen, Kobe Bryant, Kittles, Knight and Maloney were jointly selected to the Best Rookie Second Team!
Then, the Best Sixth Man was taken by John Starks of the Knicks, and the Best Defensive Player was awarded to the 'Mountain of Africa' Dikembe Mutombo. This was also the first time in Mutombo's career. Receiving this award for the second time, more and more people believe that he is the best defensive center in the league today!
Meng Buli's best defensive lineup has always been the best defensive player, and it was announced by the league almost at the same time.

Jordan and Pippen were once again selected together, and together with Malone, Mutombo and Gary Payton, they formed the league's most defensive five.

The second team of the All-Defensive Team is composed of Blaylock, P.J. Brown, Anthony Mason Jr., Olajuwon and Stockton.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Tian also won several votes for the best defensive team by relying on 1.8 steals per game. Although he is still far away from being selected, at least he can see his name. !
Next, the winner of this season's Most Improved Player Award was also announced!
As soon as the results of this award were announced, it immediately caused an uproar among the public!

The reason is also very simple. No matter how you look at it, his recipients are somewhat unworthy of this award.

The winner is Isaac Austin from the Heat. When someone mentions his name, 99% of people will have a question mark on their face: Who is this guy?

It’s not surprising that everyone doesn’t recognize him, because he hasn’t appeared in the NBA for two full seasons. The last time he played in the NBA was in the 93-94 season. That season he played 76 games for the 14ers. He averaged only 5 points and 5 rebounds per game, making him a complete backup player.

After that, he didn't find a job for two full years. He didn't join the Heat until this season and became an important member of the Heat. He averaged 9.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season. He is a complete pie-eating blue-collar player. .

His award also made many people question the league's selection results. After all, after Austin, there are Rasheed Wallace, Doug Christie, Glenn Rice and others lined up!

In terms of progress, team role, popularity among fans and actual combat effectiveness, which of these people is not better than Austin?
Unless the league's criterion for selection is that Austin didn't play a single game last season and all data were 0. This season he played 82 games and averaged 9+5 per game. The league counts his improvement as from 0+0. To 9+5, if you calculate it that way, then he deserves the title.

In addition, in addition to popular speculation, the league also gave their explanation, saying that one of the biggest criteria for selecting the most improved players is unexpected and huge progress!This award is used to recognize those players who you can't imagine can actually improve.

For this reason, the progress of players like Rasheed, Christie and Rice was summarized by the league and voters as "expected progress", while Austin was "unexpected progress", so the award was awarded. Gave it to Austin.

But no matter how the league explains it, this award has caused huge dissatisfaction and great discussion among fans. Almost no one thinks that Austin deserves this award!
Some people even speculated whether Austin was Stern's illegitimate son, so under the protection of his father, he was able to win an award that he definitely should not have received.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing in the selection of this award is that the second player is none other than Lin Tian!

本赛季的林天场均能够拿下18.3分9.5次助攻3.9篮板1.8次抢断，怎么看都已经迈入了一流后卫的行列！联盟中比他数据更好的组织后卫，绝对不超过5个！
Compared with last season's 15.2 points, 4.7 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals, Lin Tian's points increased by 3.1, assists increased by 4.8 times, rebounds increased by 1.8, and steals increased by 0.2. It can be said that Lin Tian this season is Achieved all-round improvement!
Not to mention that when Lin Tian led the team alone this season, he also posted perfect statistics of 27+10 in a single month. Not only did he lead the team to a complete victory, he was also selected as an All-Star and won the MVP of the All-Star Game!

Regardless of the extent of improvement, his team's record, or exposure and highlight moments, Lin Tian is obviously the 'most improved player'.

Unfortunately, the only thing he didn't comply with might be the league's inexplicable rules.

As a player who won the championship last season, Lin Tian's progress is obviously "expected progress", which also prevents him from surpassing Austin and can only be ranked No. 2 for the most improved player!
While the fans were frantically denouncing the award and even using racial discrimination as an excuse, it was Lin Tian himself who was dispensable for this award.

It's just a MIP, not an MVP. There really isn't much difference if you have it or not!

If the MVP of that year is snatched away from him by the league, then Lin Tian will have to give it a good shout and start a verbal battle with the scholars!

Now, it's just the most improved player, it doesn't matter!

Not to mention that although this award sounds very powerful, Lin Tian is very aware of the curse attached to this award!
Tracy McGrady, O'Neal Jr., Arenas, Simmons, Ellis, Granger, Brooks, Paul George...

Among these talented guys, none of them were seriously injured within two years of winning the award. Among this group of people, there are no fewer than five unlucky ones who had their entire season canceled due to injuries and took a year off!
It’s really worth not taking this award!

Then, the night before this game started, the league may have thought that since so many awards have been released anyway, or perhaps it felt that since you all criticize the Most Improved Player award, we would come up with one that is more worthy of debate by you fans. The hard goods are coming out, let you have a good fight!
After all, can I, the NBA, make countless fans blush because of Austin and MIP?What a shame!If you want to quarrel, go and quarrel over the annual lineup!This is worthy of the image and strength of our NBA!

So, the best lineup of the year is officially released!
Just one day before the third game of the series between the Bulls and the Hornets, one of the biggest suspense of the regular season this season was made public!

The first is the annual first team. Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Grant Hill, Michael Jordan and Tim Hardaway were selected together.

These five people were selected into the first team of the year, which can basically be regarded as expected. Except for Hardaway's statistics, which are a bit mediocre, and he is not the team boss in the Heat, which makes the selection slightly controversial, the other four people can be said to have no any dispute.

The second team is Patrick Ewing, Scottie Pippen, Glenn Rice, Gary Payton and Mitch Richmond.

In fact, there is basically nothing controversial about this lineup. The five people are either the overlord of one side or the second-in-command of a top team.

Perhaps the biggest controversy is that even though Payton and Hardaway have similar personal statistics, Payton is better defensively and is the team leader. Many people think he is more worthy of being on the first team of the year!

The next third team is Shaquille O'Neal, Vin Baker, Anthony Mason Jr., Anfernee Hardaway and Lin Tian!
To be honest, there is not much controversy about this lineup. Except for Lin Tian, ​​the selected players are all long-established NBA stars. Regardless of statistics and record, they are definitely worthy of a position in the best lineup!

But Lin Tian's selection is somewhat controversial, because the person who was squeezed out of the best lineup by Lin Tian was none other than veteran NBA guard John Stockton from the Jazz!
In fact, comparing these two people, in terms of statistics, Lin Tian's 18+9 is better than Stockton's 14+10. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. It can be regarded as a tie. But the Bulls have a record of 70 wins, even if the Jazz The team also has 64 wins, but the Bulls always have the upper hand.

It seems that it is reasonable for both of them to be selected for the third team.

But many fans feel that Stockton has a higher status, more seniority, and is the second-in-command of the Jazz and more important to the team, while Lin Tian is only the third-in-command of the Bulls and is far less important than Stockton. At the same time, Lin Tian's qualifications are still relatively young, so it is somewhat unjustifiable for him to be selected into the best team.

Of course, there are also many fans who believe that Lin Tian performed better. His performance in January when Jordan was away was something that Stockton has never done in his life. At the same time, he averaged 1 points more per game than Stockton. But there is only one assist less. Even in terms of statistics, Lin Tian is better!

For a time, discussions about who is more worthy of the best lineup, Lin Tian or Stockton, can be seen almost everywhere. The major media even took the time to conduct various programs before the start of the game, making Lin Tian and Stockton The question of who is more worthy of being on the best team has been extremely hotly debated!

Finally, when the time came to the next day, when Stockton and Lin Tian appeared in Los Angeles and Charlotte respectively, countless reporters rushed towards the two people impatiently. They wanted to ask these two people. My thoughts on the best lineup!

Facing reporters, Stockton seemed very indifferent. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "It doesn't matter to me. I have been in the best team many times. I don't need to be selected to prove my strength. Everyone knows How good I am, I think Lin is well-deserved for being selected."

"So, do you think Lin is better than you and more worthy of being on the best team of the year?" How could reporters let Stockton go so easily and immediately dug a big hole for him.

Faced with this obvious pitfall, Stockton, who had a high self-esteem, said directly without thinking: "Lin definitely deserves to be on the annual team, but if you ask me who should be selected more, I will definitely tell you it's me. ! I’m better than Lin, and I deserve to be on the best team than anyone else, but I don’t care at all!”

Stockton said it lightly, but every reporter could see the unwillingness in his eyes, and they could also see that this old guy was definitely not as calm and free as he looked!

He cares a lot!It's just that, as a veteran, there are some things I'm really embarrassed to say.

At almost the same time, Lin Tian was also caught by the media outside the Spectrum Center Arena in Charlotte. Faced with almost the same question as Stockton, Lin Tian's answer was full of aggression: "I deserve it. Any honor! I have this confidence and I don’t care what others think.”

"If anyone is dissatisfied, then stand on the court first. We are here, we are in Chicago, and we will win all the way!"

"Anyone is dissatisfied? No problem! If you have the ability, just stand in front of me and let's compete on the court! I am confident that I can defeat all challengers! I am confident that I can defeat all those who think I am not worthy. ! If some people are dissatisfied with old age, if some people think that with better qualifications, they should be included in the annual lineup."

"Then I can only pray for their stupidity and hope that they can be smarter and not say stupid things about status, qualifications and length of service in the competitive sports field! If they are experienced and old enough, it makes sense. Have you forgotten that there is Parrish in our team?"

"He is a living fossil, he is the oldest old guy in the league! With him here, can we directly receive the championship trophy?"

Lin Tian and Stockton's hostile speeches made many people feel bursts of excitement!Especially since the Jazz and Bulls are the first seeds in the East and West, and are currently 2:0 ahead of their opponents, they have a great chance of meeting in this year's finals!

Now, more and more people are looking forward to the meeting between the Bulls and Jazz in the finals!

In Charlotte's visiting team's locker room, Jackson once again sat comfortably on the table in the middle of the locker room. This time, there was no tactical board, no TV, and no technical statistics.

Jackson just sat there and said: "If the old guy Cowens is not an idiot, in this game, the Hornets will never play against us in an almost suicidal way like they did in the last two games. They will definitely Start playing the right kind of basketball.”

"That's the offense they relied on in the regular season."

"To put it simply, Rice is the main offensive point, but he doesn't have too much ball rights. The basketball is more often in the hands of Divac and point guard Bogues near the free throw line. The Hornets' most What they are good at is not actually singles, but after the team is spread out, they can use their advantage of everyone being able to shoot to fully open up the space on the court."

"Use passing and shooting range to attack and mobilize the opponent's defense, use pick-and-rolls and support to find space for shooters. They have too many people who can shoot, which will make it impossible for us to find their real strength and main attack point. We don’t dare to let anyone go, which will stretch our defense line very long!”

"Considering one thing and losing the other, their shooters will find many opportunities, either to shoot directly, to break through, or to make air cuts after pick-and-rolls. This is the real specialty of the Hornets!"

"So, in this game, we no longer target Rice, but instead play man-to-man. Everyone has to find their own defensive target. They are not allowed to lose focus or lose track. They must communicate in a timely manner on the court and meet their targets. Cover and, depending on the situation, shout out!”

"Tell your teammates how you are going to defend and communicate! Against this type of passing, cutting, and shooting team, communication between teammates is the most important! Do you understand?"

"understand!"
