NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 163: Lin Tian is worthy of being snatched up by most of the league!

"Steve, the 45-degree angle on the left is your most accurate place." Before walking onto the court to kick off, Lin Tian suddenly grabbed Cole and said to him: "I remember you were here this season. The hit rate on the spot is as high as 57%!”

"Yes, this is my favorite shooting area, what's wrong Lin?" Cole was a little curious. At this time, Lin Tian asked why.

"If you were given the chance, would you dare to make the winning shot here?"

"Are you insulting me?" Cole snorted and looked at Lin Tiandao: "At any time, in any position, as long as it is a reasonable shot, I will not have any hesitation. I will definitely throw the ball and make it 100% Be confident, I can make the shot!"

"I knew you could do it!" Lin Tian pouted at that position and said, "Wait until the round starts. I don't care where you are at the beginning or what you want to do. When I start to break through, I want you to appear here. , and then prepare to catch the ball and hit the buzzer-beater! Understand? I don’t want to play overtime with them!"

"I want to kill the Miamians in regular time, and I want them to fall here! 3:0! Tonight, it must be 3:0!"

"I know." Cole nodded and said, "I will appear here. As long as your ball can be passed, I can definitely hit it!"

After communicating with Cole, Lin Tian stretched and then walked straight to the Heat five who had just walked onto the court.

Mourning, Brown, Mashburn, Marley, Hardaway.

"Hey, you five, are you ready to wait for a while? You're going to be killed here?" Lin Tian said, pointing to the 3-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line that he and Cole had just agreed upon. Face of provocation.

"What kid are you talking about? Are you going to kill us here?" Mourning is the team boss after all. He stood up and looked at Lin Tian with an angry look on his face: "Who do you think you are, Larry Bird? Do you think you can say anything?”

Also looking confused was Cole.

No, are you Lin Tian or a human being?You just asked me to stand here waiting for the final shot, and you're going to preview the tactics that will be waiting for you?If someone is guarding me, then I'll vote P!
Cole's understanding of himself is very clear!He knows that he is a pure shooter. There is a huge difference in shooting percentage between someone who is guarding and someone who is not guarding. If the Heat set up defense here in advance and let one person wait here to prevent the buzzer-beating ball, then Cole can score a shit. Killer!

"I'm much more handsome than Bird!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said relaxedly: "Anyway, here it is, a 3-pointer! We won't play overtime with you. Tonight, I will let you Get off work early!”

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he stopped talking to the Heat players and walked to the top of the arc, ready to catch the ball.

At this time, the referee has also walked to the sideline. After waiting for everyone to stand in their positions, he suddenly blew the whistle and gave the ball to Kukoc who was waiting to serve.

Hearing the whistle that started the game, Lin Tian immediately began to move quickly. First, he made a sudden air cut from the top of the arc towards the basket. Then when he came to the free throw line, he suddenly changed his line and turned towards the 3 on the wing. Running past the dividing line, it was exactly the 45-degree angle Lin Tian mentioned just now!

Seeing Lin Tian running in that direction, the nerves of the entire Heat team suddenly became tense.

Isn't it?Is this kid really so arrogant? He said he was going to kill him right here, but he killed him right here?

Marley chased Lin Tian faster. He wanted to bypass Lin Tian and prevent him from catching the ball. At the same time, he put his hands together and grabbed Lin Tian's clothes and arms to prevent Lin Tian from running faster.

Next to him, Mashburn couldn't hold back, and unconsciously moved two steps in that direction so that he could help defend at any time.

"Fuck you!" When Lin Tian was about to approach the 3-point line, he finally became impatient. He stretched out his arm and pushed Marley's chest, pushing the guy so hard that he almost couldn't stand still.

At this moment, Lin Tian found the space to catch the ball, jumped out suddenly, and reached out to catch Kukoc's pass. The position where he caught the ball was the position where he had just predicted that he would kill!
Kneel down, raise your hands, aim!
Lin Tian immediately made a shooting gesture after catching the ball!

Mashburn next to him overreacted and jumped up, trying to block Lin Tian's shot!

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian turned around, turned directly past Mashburn, and rushed inside!
It is indeed a lie!

It really is blindfolded!

Mourning, who was under the basket, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Tian rushing towards him!
But then, the thoughts in Moning's head made him a little scared!
The reason why he breathed a sigh of relief was not because he was confident that he could guard against Lin Tian.

It's because Mourning believes that as long as he doesn't foul, the Bulls will have no way to overtake the score!At most it’s just overtime!

As for guarding against Lin Tian?This idea never appeared in Mourning's mind!All of his self-confidence was really shattered tonight!
This very pessimistic mood made Mourning feel extremely irritable. He suddenly roared, moved sideways to block Lin Tian, ​​and shouted at the same time: "Come on, Lin! Let's see who is afraid of who!"

Also shouting and rushing towards Lin Tian were Marley, who had just been pushed away by Lin Tian, ​​and Mashburn, who was shaken away by Lin Tian!
The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, suddenly chased Lin Tian from behind. Together with Mourning in front of Lin Tian, ​​they were about to form a three-person double-team on Lin Tian!
Then, the basketball in Lin Tian's hand disappeared!
At least from Mourning's perspective... Lin Tianshang was dribbling towards him at one moment, and when he blinked, the basketball was gone!

And Mashburn and Marley behind Lin Tian were also in a daze!Just now, they seemed to feel something orange and lightning-like flying past their ears!
By the time Mourning and the other three finally realized that the thing just now was a basketball and looked back, it was already too late!

Cole received the basketball at a 45-degree angle on the left. There was no Heat player within 3 meters around him!
An absolutely huge space!

Cole didn't rush to take a shot, but looked up at the basket.

He calmly adjusted his breathing and recalled the past when he was in high school.

At that time, there was a guy who looked very similar to Ewing, who said he would lead him to dominate the country. There was also a guy who looked very similar to Lin Tian, ​​with amazing physical fitness and taciturnity, who was the ace of their high school team.

There is also a genius who won the state MVP in junior high school but accidentally joined the gang and did not play basketball for two years. Oh!There was also a rebounding champion on that team with a weird hair color!

This is all my youth!

Cole wanted to continue to recall his youthful years, but unfortunately, he did not have 10 minutes to recall his entire high school career. He only had less than 2 seconds to adjust his body, because Hardaway next to him had already He rushed over like he was risking his life.

"I just held it lightly with my left hand." After Cole muttered the last sentence about the secret of shooting from the fat coach in high school, he finally pulled it up and threw the ball!

The entire American Airlines Arena went completely silent the moment Cole made the shot. Everyone's eyes widened, waiting to see if this goal, which would determine the outcome of the team's entire season, got into the basket.

The first one who felt it was over was Hardaway.

He is closest to Cole, and even when Cole takes action, he has already reached the defensive position!
But Hardaway knew that Cole's shot was not interfered with at all. Whether it was the shooting hand, the overall posture when shooting, the balance of the body or the extremely confident light in Cole's eyes, Hardaway felt that this The ball is probably going to go in.

Lin Tian and Rodman under the basket did not stupidly watch whether the basketball went in. Instead, they immediately turned around and blocked the Heat players behind them. Rodman blocked Mourning, and Lin Tian blocked Brown. If this goal is not scored, the rebound will most likely come to the Bulls.

It seemed like only two seconds had passed, and it seemed like a whole century had passed. The basketball finally flew to the top of the basket, and then...

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Cole's desperate 3-pointer fell into the basket accurately!

130: 129!

Bulls, go ahead!

There are only the last 9 seconds left before the end of the game!
Cole's desperate three-pointer caused the Heat, which had maintained the lead for most of the fourth quarter, to fall from heaven to hell in an instant!
There were gasps throughout the American Airlines Center.

They thought they could get a victory tonight. They originally thought that without Jordan and Pippen, the team would be able to win easily.

But the reality is so cruel!

Such a remnant Bulls team actually pushed the Heat into a desperate situation!
With a look of despair, Riley called the team's last timeout.

This is also the last chance for the Heat. In the last 9 seconds, they need to hit a goal!
"Everyone pull away, Tim, you and Jamal pick and roll, it's best to switch to you and Kukoc facing each other, you go find a way to break through Kukoc to score points!"

Riley's mind is actually very fast. After being tortured by the Bulls' endless pick-and-rolls in this game, he decided to treat others the same way in the last round of the game. !

He also has to use mismatches after pick-and-rolls to deal with the Bulls!
"If there is no opportunity to change defense, if they fill the gap immediately, then Alonzo, you come up to cover Tim, Tim, you go directly to the basket and attack Luke Longley! Complete the layup! "

"Longley's strength is definitely not as strong as his data shows. He doesn't need you to be afraid at all. Go attack him and kill him! Go hit the Bulls' inside line! No matter how good they performed tonight, the inside line and the basket protection , is the biggest problem of this Bulls team! If you have to attack and break through, you can even get free throws at worst!"

"Don't shoot, especially don't shoot 3-pointers! I know you've hit 6 3-pointers tonight, Tim, but don't shoot 3-pointers! We're only 1 point behind. Go in and use the more efficient and surest shots." Way to get points, how about it, do you have any questions Tim?"

After Riley finished speaking, Hardaway nodded very firmly and said: "Coach, believe me, I can do it!"

On the Bulls side, Jackson looked at his players, first praised Cole, and then he adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "If I'm not wrong..."

After this almost mantra-like opening, Jackson said calmly: "They will give the ball to Hardaway and let Hardaway complete the last attack. And, with Riley's character, he will definitely not let his When players shoot long-range 3-pointers or long 2-pointers, their first choice is definitely to hit the basket!"

"Also, Riley is a 'magic calculator', and his brain is amazing! He will probably imitate us and use a few pick-and-rolls to attack our defensive weaknesses. Yes, I am talking about Steve and Tony. , you two, you don’t have to come on stage later.”

"Brian, you and Ron will come on stage together to strengthen our defensive confrontation! Everyone, guard your own people well. You are not allowed to miss anyone, and you are not allowed to get lost. Communicate at any time when you encounter cover. I want everyone to Shout, remind your teammates at any time, and keep communicating with your teammates!”

"Go on, it's the last round! Watch this round, and then I will take you out to have fun! Tonight, we are not taking Michael and Scott! Let those two bastards reflect in the hotel and wait desperately for us to go back !”

Lin Tian was the first to stand up and said: "Tonight, drain Phil's wallet dry!"

"Drain your wallet!"

"Consumption 100 million!"

"Let Phil beg!"

"He mortgaged his house because he drank so much!"

"Maximize his credit card!"

……

The players were more excited than the other at this moment, shouting that they wanted to kill Jackson properly. In response to the excitement of his disciples, Jackson just squinted his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

The more the team members behave like this, the more confident they are now!
The more it shows that they have completely boosted their morale tonight!

Jackson believes that the Heat's final attack will never go in!
Soon, the timeout ended, and Riley glanced at the five Bulls people walking onto the court and was immediately stunned.

Then Riley cursed angrily, looking frustrated and regretful.

He actually forgot that the Bulls could still make substitutions!
Such a low-level mistake, such a basic change of formation, he actually forgot about it!
The tactics he just laid out did not involve any substitutions by the Bulls!

He really forgot!

The 'divine fortune teller' was completely calculated!No...it should have been Riley who plotted against him!
At least, tonight's duel between the two top coaches in the league basically ended with Jackson's victory!
It's a pity that the Heat no longer have any timeouts. Riley has no time and opportunity to correct the low-level mistakes he made. He can only trust Hardaway, Mashburn and Mourning now.

Apart from that, he has no other choice!

"Tim, I kindly advise you, you'd better not take action." Lin Tian, ​​who walked onto the court, looked at Hardaway and said: "Although I guess your coach will most likely let you execute this attack, but for your sake Well, you'd better choose to pass the ball!"

"Because you will definitely be fooled by me!"

Hardaway bit his lip and did not speak. Instead, he used one arm to hold Lin Tian's defense open and wanted to catch the ball to execute the final attack.

The off-field referee blew a whistle, and Brown quickly sent the ball to Hardaway, who ran near the midline.

Hardaway held the ball and advanced quickly. When he came outside the 3-point line, the Heat's first screen came up. Mashburn stepped sideways to block Lin Tian. Hardaway used the screen to quickly open the gap with Lin Tian. The distance, but what appeared in front of him was the Bulls' defensive champion, Hubble, the perimeter player whose defensive ability is second only to Jordan Pippen!
Several feints failed to clear any space. On the contrary, the attack time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, only 4 seconds were left!
Fortunately, Mourning also rushed over at this time, and the second line of defense designed by Riley also came to Hardaway's side.

The two blocked and separated each other. This time, Hardaway finally faced Longley, who was not very fast. He immediately accelerated his dribbling rhythm, lowered his head and rushed inside!
Langley's speed and movement were not fast enough after all. He couldn't keep up with Hardaway's speed at all. He was completely left behind by Hardaway's two changes of direction!The proud Hardaway pushed forward again, and when he was about to aim at the basket to complete the attack, he suddenly felt a light touch on his hand!
The basketball I was holding in my hand suddenly disappeared!
But although the basketball was gone, Hardaway's three-step layup didn't stop at all. He seemed to be doing some strange performance art. He stepped, jumped, and shot without the basketball. Continuous movement of the basket.

This whole set of actions, except that there is no basketball, everything is so smooth and beautiful!
At this time, the basketball was already held in Lin Tian's arms. Then when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the excited Lin Tian used all his strength to kick the basketball high into the sky!
Won!

Without Jordan and Pippen, facing the entire Heat, the Bulls won an arduous battle on the road!
Kerr, Hubble, Longley, Kukoc, Rodman...

Almost all the Bulls players, at the moment the game ended, completely unleashed their passion, rushed towards Lin Tian, ​​and then pounced on Lin Tian one after another, knocking him to the ground!
Although Cole was the one who hit the fatal three-pointer, everyone knows that the Bulls can win tonight's game only because of Lin Tian!

"The Bulls won! The Bulls won!" Marcus yelled excitedly in the CBS studio: "Who could have imagined such a result? Who could have imagined such a game? The remaining team The Bulls actually defeated the Heat!"

"Still in Miami! Remember this night! Remember this game! This will be a rare classic battle in NBA history, this will be a battle worthy of being recorded in history! This is the best interpretation of the David defeating the Goliath, This is also a statement for the Bulls to the world!"

"With Jordan and Pippen, we are the best in history! Even without them, we are definitely not a bad team that is about to collapse!"

"Not bad! Let us remember the heroes tonight, let us remember everything they dedicated to us tonight!" Smith looked at the latest technical statistics with a tremor in his voice.

“命中终极绝杀的史蒂夫·科尔，他今晚投进了7个3分并拿下24分！除了绝杀球，他还有一个至关重要的3+1！”“职业生涯第一次在季后赛中轰下20+10数据的卢克·朗利，他今晚彻底打爆了阿伦佐·莫宁，他拿下26分15个篮板4次盖帽！今晚的朗利，绝对称得上一句联盟顶级中锋！”

"And Toni Kukoc, who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, also showed us the delicacy, versatility and versatility of European players!"

"We can't forget Dennis Rodman, who only scored 6 points but grabbed 21 rebounds! He turned the Heat's interior upside down by himself! Whether it's Mourning or Brown, they have no sense for rebounds. Half a solution!"

"Of course, there is also the starter tonight. Although he only played 11 minutes, he scored 7 points and 6 rebounds. Ron Harper scored 5 points and contributed many beautiful defenses! Everyone. They gave everything they could!"

"And, what cannot be ignored the most is that he played epic statistics. He was able to face the Heat's double-team almost everywhere, but he was always able to handle it with ease. He toyed with the Heat's entire defense line and broke several historical records. In the end, every pass and break were outstanding. Super star style..."

“拿下38分25次助攻10个篮板7次抢断并且只有4次失误的林天！”

"Tonight, Lin sent out 25 assists, the highest in NBA playoff history! At the same time, his 38 points also made him the first person in NBA history to score 30 points and 20 assists in a single game! This record, I It will take a long time for someone to break it!”

"Especially, in the critical fourth quarter, or in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, when the Heat relaxed their defense on Lin a little, Lin immediately showed what it means to score explosively! 13 points in a row! Lin Tian used his offensive frenzy to score 13 consecutive points to rescue the Bulls from being 10 points behind!"

"And at the last moment of the game, when the Heat focused all their attention on Lin again, Lin was able to calmly and accurately find his teammates, assist Cole, and complete the decisive blow! And in the last second of the game, Cut off Hardaway's dribble and ended his inevitable layup!"

"Individual offense, defense, organization of offense, command of the team, boosting morale, and trash talking to opponents. There is nothing to criticize about Lin tonight! He played a perfect game!"

The two commentators screamed and gave their final explanation. Such a soul-stirring game is destined to be remembered by countless people for a long time, and it is destined to become one of the most exciting games in NBA history!

After the Bulls team played such a wonderful performance, the Heat players looked like eggplants beaten by frost. Some sat on the floor for a long time and refused to get up. Some covered their faces with towels, unwilling to believe the facts in front of them. , some even shed tears, blaming themselves for this loss.

In this game, the Heat actually played well enough. Hardaway scored 12 points again in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 41 points and 8 assists!
Also setting a career playoff high was Mashburn. Tonight, he scored 12 points in the final quarter and 30 points in the game. He kept crushing Kukoc in the low post and maintained his excellent touch throughout the night. In the fourth quarter, he scored 7 points in a row, almost helping the Heat take the game away!

Coupled with Leonard, who hit 5 3-pointers and scored 20 points, the Heat's three main players teamed up to score 91 points!This firepower is comparable to the Warriors' 'RUN-TMC' back then!
But, they still lost the game!
Perhaps, Mourning, who was beaten by Longley and only scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in the game, has to bear the biggest responsibility.

It was precisely because he was completely beaten by Longley and failed to play his role as a super center when Jordan and Pippen were away that the Bulls won the game and the match point!
Of course, no one within the Heat would criticize Mourning, because they all know that if it weren't for Mourning's efforts, Jordan and Pippen would not be missing tonight!
It's just that there is absolutely no way to say these words to the outside world.

But in any case, no matter who is to blame for the loss, the Heat have lost their best opportunity. The current big score has become 0:3. It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated by the Bulls.

No one would think that a team that loses to the Choppy Bulls can bring any suspense to the Bulls and this series.

In the arena, Lin Tian finally escaped from the madness of all his teammates, and escaped from the layers of stacks. Then he rushed towards Cole, Kukoc, Rodman and others who were still lying on the ground. The man roared: "You bastards! Don't rush over like this next time!"

"I thought of all the celebration moves and pretentious POSS, but I didn't even show them off! I just made a preparatory move, and you guys knocked me down! What a bunch of bastards!"

After waving an iron fist at his teammates, Lin Tian felt a thick palm on his shoulder.

Mourning patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and said: "We played well. We are convinced that we lost. See you in the next game! We won't just admit defeat like this!"

Perhaps knowing that Lin Tian couldn't say anything good, the tough man turned around and left directly after patting Lin Tian, ​​without giving Lin Tian a chance to talk trash at him.

Just after Mourning left, Hardaway also walked towards Lin Tian.

It was obvious that this guy most likely wanted to show off his grace like Mourning.

But how could Mr. Lin give him such an opportunity?
"Alonzo just invited me to join Miami next season." Lin Tian opened his mouth and said nonsense, pushing back the smile Hardaway managed to squeeze out.

Just when Hardaway was a little at a loss and didn't know whether to turn around and leave or stay where he was, Lin Tian smiled again and said: "Okay, I'm kidding, Alonzo didn't say that, although you were completely beaten by me. It has become the backdrop for the strongest single-game performance of the strongest point guard in history, but you still played well."

"Alonzo is not the kind of ruthless person who would not say that, but Pat said so to me! Just after the game, you can ask him, and he said he will use all methods to kill me. Bring it to Miami and, if possible, he'll initiate a sign-and-trade and use you plus a few draft picks and other additions to get me."

"FUXX!" Even though Hardaway knew that Lin Tian was talking nonsense, he couldn't help but want to curse.

Lin Tian, ​​what kind of bastard is this?
What's the difference between talking about trading me in front of me and having sex with my wife on the couch in front of me?
There is no difference at all!

And the reason why he was so angry was because he knew that what Lin Tian said was right!
Regardless of whether it is Mourning or Riley, if there is really a chance to trade themselves for Lin Tian, ​​these two guys will definitely agree without hesitation. If Mourning still wants to save face and won't do something so ugly, Riley would have tied himself up and thrown him on a plane to Chicago.

It’s too late, what if the Bulls regret it?

How can I say this feeling?

It's the kind of feeling that although Hadaway's wife has not cheated on her, Hardaway knows that as long as Lin Tian hooks his fingers, his wife will definitely climb into Lin Tian's bed.

This horse-riding person is 10 times more uncomfortable than being directly attacked by a tauren!
Although I haven't been cheated yet, I have actually been cheated.

Schrödinger's Minotaur!
Hardaway gave Lin Tian a middle finger, then turned and left.

As he turned and left, the system finally rang again.

"Tim Hardaway has mood swings and drops permanent skills: Killer Beetle LV1 (0/2000)."

"Killer Beetle LV1: Improve the host's dribbling ability by 10% and breakthrough ability by 10%!"

Another good thing!
This thing can make Lin Tian's dribbling even more unsolvable!

You know, Lin Tian now has the top speed in the league, or the only speed in the league, but at such top speed, his breakthroughs have never been the top in the league, especially in the 1-on-1 breakthrough. In terms of items, Lin Tian can barely reach the edge of excellence at best.

His breakthroughs often require the cover of his teammates and the space after the pick-and-roll to create opportunities for himself to speed up.

The biggest reason for this situation is that Lin Tian's dribbling is not actually top-notch. His dribbling is about average, and he does not have James' abnormal body and strength that allow him to do such a good job. way.

But now, everything is different!

Who is Tim Hardaway?
Nicknamed 'the bug'!
Some people say that this means a bug, describing him as short but strong, but a more reasonable explanation is obviously that his breakthrough and dribbling are as unsolvable as bugs, just like loopholes on the court!
Magic, Bird, Barkley, Drexler... Countless league leaders have praised Hardaway's dribbling, saying that Hardaway's dribbling and breakthrough are what they are willing to pay to watch. And you won’t get bored even if you watch it all day long.

And Hardaway's signature 'killer change', which is a small and rapid double change of direction after dribbling from the hip, led the trend of the entire 90s. Before the explosive style appeared and caused a sensation, Hardaway's change of direction was the most popular trick in the United States and even the world!
Countless young people will imitate his dribbling, and countless NBA stars will study Hardaway's dribbling and turn it into their own movements. In short, Hardaway is the strongest breakthrough player and dribbling expert of this era. Absolutely. Not too much!

But now, this set of things belongs to Lin Tian!
Lin Tian's ball control and breakthrough abilities can definitely make a qualitative leap!
Lin Tian looked at Hardaway's back and saluted him with attention.

Just think of it as thanking Hardaway for his selfless dedication!

Mourning and Riley attended the press conference on behalf of the Heat after the game. Both of them looked lost. As soon as they sat there, reporters couldn't wait to ask all kinds of questions.

In the chaos, Mourning stretched out his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet, and then said calmly: "The responsibility for tonight is mine. I was completely beaten by Langley. This is the worst and worst performance in my career." It is also the game that I cannot bear the most responsibility for. The responsibility for losing the game lies with me. I failed to assume the responsibility of a leader. I feel sorry for this team."

"I'm also sorry for the trust of the head coach and teammates, and I'm disappointed for the fans in the entire city. I am willing to accept all criticism! But what I want to say is that the series is not over yet. I know that saying this now will only make people laugh. I feel like I'm dreaming, but the series is not over."

"We will continue to defend our dignity, and we will continue to fight for victory! See you in the next game!"

Mourning's words made Riley, who was always cold-blooded and ruthless, bite his lip because Riley knew better than everyone else that if he hadn't asked Mourning to drink from Jordan, he would have lost tonight. But Mourning can definitely walk out of the arena with his head held high!He can definitely continue to beat Longley.

But now, because of Riley's decision, Mourning not only lost the game, but also lost his dignity.

But Mourning didn't complain at all and consciously took on all responsibilities.

I, Pat Riley, will definitely win a championship for the Heat and Mourning in this life!must!
Compared with the heaviness of the Heat's press conference, Lin Tian and Jackson were naturally laughing and joking at the Bulls' press conference, full of excitement.

"Congratulations on such a perfect and unexpected victory! Lin, if Michael is in front of you now, is there anything you want to say to him?"

"Team security, don't worry, don't be in a hurry to come back!" Lin Tian looked at the reporter with a smile. His experience in dealing with reporters in the past two years told Lin Tian that if this guy asked this, he would definitely be holding back the bad news!

"Then why did Michael and Scott not come back? When will they come back?" When the reporter saw Lin Tian's conversation, he immediately followed up and asked!

After all, although reporters scattered out this night to find out the real reason why Jordan and Pippen were absent, they did get a lot of news, but now no one knows whether the news is true or false, and there is no way to confirm it. What is going on with these two people!
"You have to ask Phil." Lin Tian threw the blame to Jackson without hesitation: "Phil knows."

Seeing all the reporters looking at him, Jackson shrugged his shoulders and said: "They violated some minor disciplines within the team, so I suspended them. It's that simple. They don't have any injuries or any danger. If they If you admit your mistakes with a good attitude, you will come back in the next game.”

As soon as Jackson said this, the reporters sitting below were stunned.

Is there really someone who would ban two of the league's top superstars for violating a minor discipline?
How small is this 'little discipline' for him?

If it is really small, can he be suspended in the Eastern Conference Finals?
If it's not that small, is a one-match suspension enough?
"What mistake did they make, Phil? Some people said that these two guys had a falling out in the locker room over gambling money, and they directly pulled out their guns and confronted each other!" A reporter finally couldn't help it anymore and asked the question directly.

After this question was raised, it was like killing a stone and causing thousands of waves!

All reporters immediately went crazy.

"Some people say Pippen slept with Jordan's mother!"

"Some people also say that Pippen slept with a woman and was accused of rape. Pippen said at the police station, 'Michael did it too,' so Jordan was also arrested."

"What I heard is that Pippen and Jordan offended gangsters in the bar, and they were stabbed 11 times!"

"You're stupid! How can you come back after being cut 11 times in the game? The two of them had a quarrel because Jordan spilled the beans, right! Pippen took Jordan to find happiness, but Jordan made a video and told Pippen's wife, So the two of them have completely fallen out now, right?”

"What you said is wrong! The real reason is..."

The reporters were still arguing with each other, but Lin Tian and Jackson winked at each other, then stood up in unison, opened the door to the press conference, and ran away before all the reporters could react. !
You can guess for yourselves!We won't accompany you anymore!

As for what 'little mistakes' Jordan and Pippen made that were temporarily suspended for one game?
Wait until the next game and ask them!Let these two guys worry about themselves. Lin Tian and Jackson are too lazy to be questioned by reporters for half an hour!

Similarly, after this game, Nelson, who had been recuperating in Oakland, called his agent: "Christie, please reject the invitation from Dallas first. I won't go to Dallas."

"Why Don? You asked me to help you find a job in the league. You even went for an interview. Why didn't you go?" Christie looked confused. What's wrong with this old man?
"I want to see which team Lin will go to during the offseason before making a decision." Nelson was on the phone while watching Lin Tian's game highlights on TV, his eyes almost shining now. : "I want to coach this kid! He's great! He fits all my fantasy of a point guard!"

"If I can coach him, I will definitely create a dynasty! A true dynasty team!"

At the same time, in San Antonio, Spurs head coach Popovich, who had just finished a trial training, was in a good mood!The result of today's trial training was even better than he imagined.

That young man from Wake Forest actually beat up David Robinson in training!
Gotta get him!
Even if you don't get the No. [-] pick this year, you still have to get the No. [-] pick in exchange for selling the pot!

Popovich drank the last glass of wine in the glass, looked at the two big men in front of him, and said with a smile: "David, Tim, you two can become the best twin tower combination in the world! And Lin, I will do everything possible to recruit him to the team in the offseason!"

"You three are the best trio in the world! Together we can win countless championships! We will become the greatest team!"

Miller, who was on vacation in Hawaii, also made a phone call after watching the game.

"Larry, you are coming to Indiana to take office next month, right?"

"Yes Reggie, I'm thinking about how to get the team back on track." Bird's voice came out. He is also the head coach and general manager of the Pacers who have just been appointed for next season and have not yet been officially announced!
"Get Lin!" Miller said without hesitation, "If you can get Lin, I will accept a basic salary contract! If necessary, I can help you do something else."

After hanging up Miller's call, Bird looked up helplessly and saw his mentor, the famous 'Cardinal' Auerbach, who was having dinner with him.

"What's wrong? Reggie wants you to take down Lin?" Auerbach looked at this disciple who had already become famous and was now going to take up his post elsewhere. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I really didn't expect that you would take office." The first thing is to compete with me for a free agent. I thought we could help each other and cooperate a few times."

"I know, I know you're not going to let me coach the team or manage the team." In Detroit, the 'Smiling Assassin' Isaiah Thomas shouted at the other end of the phone: "But I am the star of the team, I Are you not even qualified to give advice to the team?"

"I don't care if you listen or not, I want to make my suggestion: take down Lin! Together with Grant Hill, he can definitely surpass the combination of me and Joe! They can become the new generation of ace double guns in the league!"

……

After such a crazy game, the undercurrent hidden under the surface of the league became even more turbulent.
