NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 165 Thomas and Ranbir are both simple boys compared to them!

At the end of May 1997, the moment that fans across the United States had been waiting for finally arrived!
The fans sat together happily, waiting for the next historic moment. Half of the league's executives were also in front of the TV, waiting for what was about to begin, which may affect several teams next season or even the next few seasons. development matters.

Many NBA team stars, executives, coaches and even owners came to the scene.

While waiting, many nervous fans even closed their eyes, put their hands on their chests, and prayed devoutly.

After all, when it comes to testing the results of their efforts throughout the year, there is no room for people to be nervous.

As the atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and with the anticipation of countless people, a figure finally appeared on the TV screen. Countless people's breathing became tight in an instant, and many people held their breath directly. They were Waiting for the next, historic moment.

"The 1997th pick in the 13 draft, Cleveland Cavaliers!" Stern read out the first team name tonight.

Cavaliers fans reacted quite normally and were not too disappointed. After all, they had less than a 2% chance of becoming the top three picks.

Well, now is not the scene of the finals, but the scene of the NBA's annual draft pick selection!
In a sense, this place is much more important to each team than the finals. After all, the finals are two teams competing for the championship, and the draft lottery is the weight and hope for half of the league's teams to turn around. !
Being able to get the No. [-] pick in a big year of the draft can definitely turn around a super bad team overnight!
As Stern's draft picks were revealed one after another, more and more fans were wailing, but there were also fans of several teams who maintained a high level of excitement!
"Fourth overall pick in 1997, Vancouver Grizzlies!"

As soon as Stern said these words, the whole of Vancouver fell into a burst of mourning and pain!

1997 is recognized as a small year in the draft. Except for the big man, the difference between everyone else is not that big!
Or we can put it more directly: this year's No. [-] pick is everything!
If you can't get the No. [-] pick, the rest of the picks are dispensable!

"Third pick, Boston Celtics."

"FUXX!" As soon as Stern finished speaking, Auerbach, who represented the Celtics in drawing the lottery, cursed angrily. His voice was so loud that it even drowned out Stern's voice when he read out the team's order. : "This old asshole who only cares about making money! We have been rotten for so long, but he still refuses to give us a No. [-] pick! FUXX! I will tear you apart sooner or later!"

A grumpy old man, trolling people online!
It’s just a prospect!Auerbach is waiting with all his heart, hoping to get the No. [-] pick and then win the big man!

It's a pity that the person who can be selected with the third overall pick is really not a hope for the Celtics' revival!
Auerbach sighed. If he can't get the No. [-] pick, he really doesn't like any of this year's rookies. Why not try to get the No. [-] pick by taking the No. [-] and No. [-] picks?

It might not be difficult to deceive that rookie general manager of the Spurs. Well, let’s just try to see if we can deceive the rookie general manager of the Spurs first.

"Stern, that old bastard!"

Auerbach, who felt unhappy, couldn't hold it back and opened his mouth to curse again.

The sound was so loud that it could still be heard by more than half of the people in the entire scene.

but……

Well, everyone, including Stern, acted as if they didn't hear anything and just did what they were supposed to do. They had no intention of standing up and blaming Auerbach.

You have a high status, high achievements, and high seniority. Don't even say a few words of curses, but actually slap Stern on the ear...

Let's forget it. At such an old age, there is really no need to spare any effort.

Calm, must be calm.

"Second pick, Philadelphia 76ers!"

After Stern revealed that the second pick was Philadelphia, Philadelphia fans booed and complained loudly. How to describe their mood at this moment?
No.2 is the number one loser!
Even if the 76ers don't make the top three, maybe the fans won't be as disappointed as they are now.

Iverson, who attended the draw on behalf of the 76ers, also gave a helpless smile. Who doesn't like that big man from Wake Forest University?

But before Iverson could express too much frustration, his mood was interrupted. An old man next to him took him into his arms!
That old man was the guy who drew lots on behalf of a small southwest town.

It was not only the old man named Popovich who was extremely excited, but also the entire San Antonio, who burst into cheers and shouts without David Stern reading out the final result!

The big picture is set!

The No. [-] pick is ours!
Tim Duncan is ours too!
At the lottery meeting, Popovich smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth. He excitedly hugged Iverson, whom he didn't know at all and had never communicated with before. Then he excitedly hugged the Grizzlies' senior Guan shook hands to celebrate, saying "It's a pity, but fourth place is also very good" and other weird words.

Popovich wildly celebrated that he had won the No. [-] pick. He didn't care about the Grizzlies executives and Iverson who were around him. He simply looked impatient. With Iverson's temper, he didn't give it to Popovich on the spot. A punch, even if he knew that today was live broadcast across the United States, he suppressed his temper.

What made Popovich regain his senses and stop celebrating wildly was not Stern's announcement of this year's No. [-] pick, but Auerbach's eyes full of mockery and murderous intent.

Just one look made Popovich, who was still a new recruit in the management and coaching circles, calm down.

He didn't dare to offend Auerbach here, otherwise he knew how he would be targeted.

But no matter what, Popovich, who is about to get Duncan, can't suppress his excitement.

Duncan plus David Robinson!If Lin Tian is dealt with again this year, then with Duncan's immediate combat ability, Robinson's age and toughness, and Lin Tian's all-round talent, Popovich believes that the Spurs can become the super favorite for the championship next season!

Everything depends on whether this kid is willing to come!
How to convince him, and how to make Lin Tian fall in love with the small city of San Antonio?

How about letting him and Duncan meet to see if they can get along?

……

As the draw comes to an end, this year's NBA Finals is finally on its way. The final suspense of this NBA season will be revealed soon!
Speaking of which, although this is the first time that the Jazz and Bulls have met in the playoffs, although the two teams have played twice a year before, they are not old enemies at all, and there is no old grudge.

That is to say, this year, suddenly there are many new enemies.

Jordan thinks Malone stole his MVP, Stockton thinks Lin Tian robbed him of the best team of the year, Sloan has always disliked Jackson's flashy, inaction style, he prefers to control everything. In his hands, he even wanted to shout tactics on behalf of the players on the court.

The Bulls are playing a tactic similar to total offense and total defense this season. In terms of offense, they are the best in the league. They are invincible when running and no one can defend them in individual duels.

In terms of defense, when the Bulls are fully defensive, no one in the league is afraid of their "devil third quarter". Whenever the Bulls turn up their defensive intensity in the third quarter, they use their upper line pressure and When rotating quickly to block the opponent's ball carrier, you can always see results quickly and create a wave of offensive climax, and then let the game enter garbage time.

It can be said that this year's Bulls team has almost no shortcomings in other aspects, except for the inside attack, which is slightly less interesting!Many people even say that although this year's Bulls won 4 fewer games than last year, in terms of the team's overall integrity, oppression, and hard power, this year's Bulls are stronger than last year!
Sweeping the opponent out of the Eastern Conference for three consecutive series, with a bigger advantage each round, is very telling!

Although the Bullets did not win more than 40 games in the first round, their three-high inside line and the five-high team's lineup actually seemed to be able to restrain the Bulls' mediocre and weak inside line-up.

But the result?Not only were the Bullets unable to fight back, Strickland, who was in his contract year, was also worth half of his worth by Lin Tiansheng!Originally, Strickland could sign a 5-600 million contract this year, but after this series, it may be difficult to sign a 300 million contract.

In the second round against the Hornets, the league's most accurate team, first Jordan beat the provocative Glenn Rice like a kindergarten kid, and then Lin Tian chased Bogues' butt and beat him like crazy!
In the four games of the series, the Hornets couldn't resist. Their whole body was beaten soft, except for their mouth, which was still very hard.

In the Eastern Conference finals, facing the 61-win Heat, the absolute top team in the league, the Bulls were equally invincible. They defeated their opponents by a huge margin in all three games and pushed the game into garbage time early. The only game they played went to the last minute. The winner was determined by a buzzer-beater, and it was the game in which both Jordan and Pippen were absent due to violation of team discipline.

The Bulls really showed an indomitable momentum in the first three rounds. They played with the feeling that everyone is a chicken and a dog, and only I, the Chicago Bulls, can be called a strong team.

Before the start of this round of finals, Las Vegas once again updated the latest championship odds.

The odds of the Chicago Bulls are 5 to 1, which means that if you buy the Bulls for $500 to win, then after the Bulls win the championship, you will get $600 with interest.

The odds for the Jazz to win the championship are 1 to 9, which means that if you buy the Jazz for $100 to win, then you are equivalent to losing the $100.

At the same time, CBS also launched a nationwide championship prediction vote.

47% of fans believe that the Bulls can sweep the Jazz, 30% of fans believe that the Jazz can persist until the fifth game, and only 13% and 7% of fans believe that the Jazz can persist until the sixth or seventh game.

In other words, only 3% of fans believe that the Jazz can win the championship.

Well, at least 3% of these 95% of fans are from Salt Lake City.

The Bleacher Report, a newspaper led by the players union that often conducts internal player voting and statistics, also published their questionnaire on 210 active players and 89 retired players.

88% of players believe that the Bulls can win the championship!
Only 12% of players believe the Jazz can win this series.

In a vote conducted by CBS inviting its own reporters, directors, and commentators, only 27 of the 2 internal CBS employees who participated in the vote chose to support the Jazz. The remaining 25 people all believed that the Bulls could win the second straight game. crown!

The media, fans, players... almost everyone who has anything to do with the NBA, knows and watches football, all believe that the Bulls can win this series without losing a fight and become this year's champion!

With this kind of prediction, we can't blame everyone for being too crazy. It's not that the Jazz are too weak. It's actually that the Bulls are too strong!They completely defeated the 61-win Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, so it was obviously difficult for the 65-win Jazz to put up any resistance.

Everyone feels that the series is just a formality. After a formality, the Bulls can go directly to collect the award.

This one-sided prediction and overwhelming advantage is obviously a huge ridicule and insult to the Jazz!Everyone in the Jazz team, from top to bottom, is holding their breath, they can't wait to prove themselves!

I want to prove that I am the strongest team in the league!

Three hours before the start of the finals, in the same place, with the same personnel, and for the same purpose, Jackson gathered the players together again for the last pre-war meeting of the season.

"The Jazz, I don't think I need to introduce them too much, is the league's number one villain team, led by two annoying bastards. It is the roughest and most bottomless team in the league today. The Knicks, Heat and Compared to them, they are simply 14-year-old pure virgins.”

"Their moves are big, their moves are dirty, Malone's elbow, Stockton's black foot and the ubiquitous little moves, these things are more difficult to watch than the real strength they can show on the court. A lot of coping and headaches.”

"To deal with them, the first thing you need to consider is not how to defeat them, but how to protect yourself, because not only Malone and Stockton are notorious team bosses, Hornacek, Russell, You can’t find a few clean guys in Ostertag, or in the entire Jazz team.”

"They will use every method to irritate you, annoy you, and make you lose your cool and get angry. This is their style. Compared with the style of the Jazz when P.J. Brown gave Charlie Ward in the Eastern Conference semifinals, It’s just like a small witch can make a big witch out of you!”

"Everyone on the Jazz is doing similar things every minute! They are a gathering of villains and the most hated team in the entire league."

"Of course, what's annoying about them is actually far more than just these off-the-table moves and small moves. What's really annoying about them is their extremely boring style of play. To be honest, even if I'm a coach, I They all despised their aestheticless, heavy and lethargic style of play."

"They turned dynamic basketball into a passionless assembly line operation, all their tactics made people yawn to the sky, and their style of play could make all the fans fall asleep in the arena."

"But I have to say that their tactics are very effective. They can always score points and prevent their opponents from attacking! Patience, dullness, and boredom are actually their weapons! They will drag their opponents into their rhythm, and then Use your rich experience to defeat everyone!"

"If we want to defeat them easily, the most important thing is not to fall into their rhythm or follow their style of play. Play our own basketball and let the world see what offense is and what offense is." Basketball, what is the basketball that the NBA should really play!"

"Michael, you have to prove in this series that you are the real mvp! You are the invincible No. 1 in the league! Malone is a shameless thief, he stole the glory that belongs to you! This series , I want you to take back what belongs to you!"

"Don't worry, coach, I will let Malone know that if he takes something that is not his, he will be punished by God! And this time God gave him the punishment for meeting me!" Jordan nodded, completely ignoring Jazz. The team takes it seriously.

"Scott, if the Jazz use Russell to defend Michael, you will be our first main attack point! Because their two backcourts are very short, whether it is Hornacek who is 191 centimeters tall or Hornacek who is 185 centimeters tall. Stockton, whoever faces you, let them know how powerful you are!"

"Leave it to me! If they dare to use dwarf to defend me, I will let them know who is dwarf's nemesis. I will beat the two cute little white sheep of the Jazz to death." Pippen also nodded. , he has played with the Jazz many times and is very aware of the weaknesses of the Jazz's two backcourts.

Although dirty, he is indeed short and slow, and his physical fitness is at the bottom of the league.

"Lin, against Stockton, you must stay calm and don't hit him! Don't hit him! Don't hit him!" Jackson looked at Lin Tian and said what he was most worried about in this series. Thing: "To be honest, if it were me, if I faced Stockton for at most three minutes, I would want to push him to the ground and beat him."

"But this is wrong, don't do this." Jackson sighed and said: "We need you to stay on the court more. Only in this way can you help the team. Otherwise, you can't help the team win at all, right? ?”

"Actually, if I take action, I can also help the team." Lin Tian blinked his innocent eyes and said: "If I take action, I promise to take away at least three of them!"

Lin Tian compared the three queens and said: "Stockton, Malone, and then pick the unlucky guy closest to me. I guarantee that no matter how many games I am suspended, these guys can't be better than me." Return to the court as soon as possible! The time they lie in the hospital bed will definitely be longer than the time I am suspended!"

"It seems, it's not impossible..." Jackson touched his chin and muttered, and then quickly said: "No, no! Lin, you can't do this! It's better not to fight if we can, we have more important things to do. Do it!”

Jackson shook his head, getting rid of the idea of ​​just knocking over a few Jazz players, and then looked at everyone, especially Lin Tiandao: "I hope that when we win the championship trophy, Everyone is present! Instead of someone being absent!”

"I hope that all of us can feel the excitement of winning the championship on the spot, instead of alone in the locker room through the TV screen!"

"Okay! Everyone, cheer up, let's kill the Jazz with dignity and dignity! Knock them out completely, and then win our brand new O'Brien Trophy!" The morale of the Bulls team here was completely destroyed by Jackson. Looking up, in the Jazz's visiting team locker room over there, Sloan had a gloomy look on his face. He said coldly: "No one thinks highly of us, no one thinks we can win the championship, no one thinks we are the champion, even No one thinks you are the MVP, Karl!"

"Why? Just because we don't play well and can't give the audience dunks one after another and flashy, meaningless behind-the-back passes? Basketball is not like that! Basketball is simple and practical, and it is as mechanical as a button. Art! Not random street rags!”

"Go, go to the court, let the world know what real basketball is! What is a real basketball player! Go and tell all the people who don't think highly of us: They don't know anything! Go and tell them that we are the general manager. champion!"

Following Sloan's indifferent tone, but full of vindictiveness, the Jazz players also stood up from their stools. Malone and Stockton, with fierce looks on their faces, led the team in a swaggering manner. Walked out of the team's locker room.

Next, they want to let the whole world know who is the true king of the alliance!
At the United Center in Chicago, they ushered in their fifth Finals game in seven years. The crazy fans did not slack off at all because the team had entered the Finals many times. As the most fanatical fans in the United States, the Bulls After the team entered the finals again, all the Chicago fans were in a frenzy!
Not only did the Bulls open an additional area for ticket sales, selling 3000 more tickets per game, the home game ticket prices also increased significantly, but even so, the supply of home game tickets at the United Center is still in short supply!

With more than two hours left before the game started, more than 2 fans poured into the United Center and began to eagerly release their energy and hormones.

When the Jazz players entered the court, the fans at the United Center certainly did not give the league's most notorious villains any good looks. They were met with overwhelming curses and boos.

"Stockton, you are just a liar who cheated on your seniority! You will never be selected for the best team again in your life!"

"The gap between Stockton and Lin is bigger than the gap between Batman and Alfred! If you come to Chicago, you can only mop the floor and wash Lin's socks!"

"Stockton, you are a shameless villain! If you dare to put away those little tricks of yours, Lin will show you what a real man is! He will crush you completely!"

"What's that bald idiot's name? Russell? You can start praying now because you're going to be beaten to death by Michael!"

"Karl, the 14-year-old girl you violated is crying! If you are still a human being, go to jail and serve your sentence!"

"Your more than 100 illegitimate children are crying too! Can a man manage his own crotch first?"

"The most notorious criminals I have ever met are more human than Malone!"

"Jazz stinks shit!"

"Sloan is not qualified to shine Pat Riley's shoes! And Pat Riley is barely qualified to wash Jackson's feet! So, Sloan, you'd better go back to Salt Lake City! There is no place for you here!"

"If you want to learn more advanced tactics, you can start as a cleaner for the Bulls! We will give you the highest standards of treatment in the industry!"

Faced with waves of boos and insults from the fans, everyone on the Jazz team looked completely fine. From top to bottom, they all achieved the supreme level of treating the boos as wind.

Otherwise, what are the benefits of being the league's number one villain and top street rat?

For other teams, it is not easy to get so many boos and curses.

Today's league, that is, the Jazz, is full of street rats wherever they go, and they are scolded wherever they go.

There are 41 away games in the regular season every year. For the Jazz, every away game is a good opportunity for them to learn about the latest local curse words!In every away game, they receive the highest level of 'welcome' from local fans.

In fact, although Stockton and Malone are villains, and although there are many victims at their elbows and feet, they are really not to the point where they are covered with bones and blood. Two-thirds of the teams in this league really don't do much. Suffered from their assassination.

But how to put it...a person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Just when everyone sees the Jazz, they will open their mouths and curse!
It is precisely for this reason that they have long been familiar with and accustomed to all this, and it is just a few curses, nothing more!

No one in the Jazz team, from Sloan to the water fountain keeper on the edge of the bench, would take this boo to heart!
Soon, when the fans' first wave of addiction was over and their voices began to decrease, the ten starting players from both sides also walked onto the court, preparing to start the first showdown of the finals!

Luke Longley and Greg Ostertag, two blue-collar meat shield centers with a height of over 210 centimeters, walked into the center circle together, preparing to wait for a jump ball.

This season, Ostertag can contribute 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game. He can be regarded as the number one defensive center in the league. Coupled with his iron elbow, which he learned from Malone, he can play in the basket. The deterrent effect is even more extraordinary!
As the referee blew the whistle, Ostertag took the lead to take off. His taller stature and relatively faster bounce allowed him to get the first wave of offensive balls for the Jazz!

Stockton held the basketball and did not push forward in a hurry. Instead, he stretched out his hand and walked through half the court in a leisurely manner while shouting tactics.

"Old dog, I heard that your playing style is very insidious and vicious, like an animal?" Lin Tian, ​​who has not been a rookie for a long time, has experienced the baptism of various point guards along the way, and now he has gained a lot of notoriety.

Of course, in the player circle, everyone knows how bad Lin Tian's mouth is.

But in the fan circle...

impossible!My brother is so handsome, so he definitely can’t say bad words to hurt others, let alone open his mouth to say dirty things!It's you ugly people who are jealous of my brother's good looks and good football style, so you slander us, spread rumors and cause trouble, and smear our brother!

Yes, it is like that!
"Boy, do you know you deserve a beating?" Stockton turned sideways and used his raised elbow to protect the basketball. While observing the movement of his teammates, he headed toward the three-point line.

"I know, many people want to beat me, but no one can beat me! Didn't Karl tell you? I can beat him to his knees and beg for mercy in one second!" Lin Tian continued to talk trash, While looking for opportunities to grab the ball, even if he can't intercept the ball directly, he still has to find a way to disrupt Stockton's dribbling rhythm.

But Lin Tian didn't expect that although Stockton didn't look tall or strong, and had no strengths other than being dirty and tough enough, when he actually faced him, this guy's ability to protect the ball was actually very good. good!
It feels a bit like a heavy sword without a sharp edge, a heavy sword without any workmanship.

In the first round of the finals, the Jazz played their best pick-and-roll. Lin Tian had been on guard against this. When he suddenly felt a darkness around him, he was already very smart. Take two steps back!
The next thing he saw was Ma Long rushing up with a pair of iron elbows.

If Lin Tian hadn't taken two quick steps back just now, not to mention the injury, Ma Long would have let Lin Tian get a good blow, and his head would be confused for a while.

"You're a fast runner!" Ma Long failed in his first attempt and sneered at Lin Tian. He just wanted to tell Lin Tian: I did it on purpose!
Stockton next to him didn't care whether there was a physical conflict between Lin Tian and Malone. Instead, he used the screen to start a breakthrough. After attracting Longley's flanking attack, he distributed the ball to Ostertag. This iron tower-like The guy immediately jumped up and completed a powerful dunk with both hands.

"You don't know how to pee your pants, I thought you were very hard." When Stockton returned to defense, he looked at Lin Tian and sprayed at him.

interesting!
I like!
Lin Tian licked his lips, took the baseline ball and quickly sent it to Jordan: "Michael, you organize it."

"My organization?" Jordan was stunned for a moment. Why is this kid so crazy?Were you really frightened by Ma Long's huge move?
impossible!
Jordan hesitated for less than a second and felt that he had thought too much. This bastard is not even afraid of me. How could he be afraid of Malone?
If you don't organize an attack, you must be holding back your bad luck!

Seeing that Lin Tian was not taking the ball, Stockton clung to him and quietly stretched his foot towards Lin Tian's foothold, trying to trip Lin Tian down, but Lin Tian easily dodged it. After that, the guy continued to taunt: "Boy, I really didn't expect you to be scared after just one round. What's wrong? Do you need to get off the field and change a diaper?"

Lin Tian ignored Stockton, but ran all the way to the waist position, which was the area where Jordan launched the longest attack. He directly blocked Stockton with his back and reached for the ball!

"Are you crazy? You want to hit me with your back? Have you checked my success rate in low post defense? Huh?" Stockton saw that Lin Tian was going to hit him with his back and continued to laugh.

When Jordan over there saw Lin Tian asking for the ball in the low post, he immediately gave the ball to Lin Tian, ​​wanting to see how he would take revenge.

"Can you shut up? No one told you that your mouth stinks?" Lin Tian got the basketball and suddenly hit it behind him. His shoulder directly hit the chest of Stockton who was about to open his mouth to speak. , Stockton was almost breathless at this time, and then Lin Tian quickly turned around and distanced himself.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian turned around and stepped back to hit the shot. After scoring, he looked at Stockton and said: "Can you shut up now? You old pug who ate 3 pounds of shit and didn't brush his teeth?"

Lin Tian's set of back strikes was smooth and smooth. Although there were not many gorgeous movements, every detail was just right and there was nothing superfluous.

Needless to say, Lin Tian used up the last experience card he had!
Karen Mok's peak experience...

Pooh!
09-10 season Andre Miller experience card (full game)!

Lin Tian has become a little bit disdainful of Miller's organizational and passing abilities. It's hard to say who is better than whom!
But Miller's hand in post-ups and turn-over jumpers...

Tsk tsk tsk... If Lin Tian's prediction is correct, this card is most likely the peak of Miller's season on the night when he scored 50 points!
After using this card, Lin Tian only has one goal tonight——

Kill Stockton!

"You're looking for death!" Stockton cursed, then winked at Malone next to him.

"Be careful Lin! These two guys are not going to show off at all. They will bring out the dirtiest things as soon as they come up!" Rodman caught this small detail and immediately reminded Lin Tian to be careful.

"The only thing I need to be careful about on the court is your long pass Dennis!" Lin Tian did not look back, but lowered his center of gravity and looked at Stockton and continued: "On your side, be careful of Malone's iron elbow."

As he spoke, Stockton's dribble had reached the frontcourt. He waved his arms again. This time, Lin Tian felt that Ostertag was running over from his left side.

Not Malone?

Lin Tian glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and then quickly chose to retreat just like the last round.

Then, another pair of iron elbows appeared in front of him.

"You guys on horseback, you can't use your elbows as cover, right?" Lin Tian saw that the elbow was less than 30 centimeters away from him. If he retreated slower, he would be hit directly on the head. !

No wonder your Jazz's pick-and-roll is so easy to use and effective.

If you put some blades or broken glass on your elbows, the effect of riding a horse will definitely be better!
Because Lin Tian chose to retreat again, Stockton got a shooting opportunity from outside the 3-point line, and he immediately shot a 3-pointer.

"Boom!"

It is a pity that his perfect touch in the Western Conference finals did not seem to continue. This open 3-pointer came out of the basket and failed to score.

Pippen grabbed the rebound and was about to throw the ball forward, but found that Lin Tian did not run for the fast break. Instead, he stretched out his hand to indicate to Pippen not to worry, to steady himself and play slowly.

"It seems that Stockton is the unlucky one tonight!" Pippen did not force a counterattack, but stabilized his rhythm and said to Jordan next to him: "Lin has completely entered the state."

"Then give him the ball." Jordan said while running towards the other side of Lin Tian, ​​completely giving up the offensive space to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian also received the ball in the low post again and once again withstood Stockton.

As soon as the two people came into contact, they started using all kinds of little tricks like crazy!Stockton pinched the soft flesh on Lin Tian's waist with his claws. Lin Tian turned around and hit Stockton's stomach with his elbow. Then he turned around and pointed his shoulder at Stockton while turning around. Tocton's nose was slapped!

Stockton saw a big shoulder coming towards his nose, how could he dare to push it up?He was so frightened that he quickly leaned his upper body back and managed to avoid this attack.

This time he dodged it, but he had absolutely no way to interfere with Lin Tian's shot. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Tian hit another turnaround jumper and scored another 2 points!
"Are you afraid? I thought you were tough." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders disdainfully and said to Stockton: "I gave you the opportunity to commit a flagrant foul on me, but you didn't have the guts to do that. You can’t blame me!”

The first two rounds set the tone for the style of this game.

That's ferocity, hand-to-hand combat and all kinds of endless little moves!

Whoever is tougher and less afraid of death will have the upper hand!

Almost every screen on the Jazz team is opened with elbows. Everyone on this team seems to have grown 8 elbows. All their movements are with their elbows in front and behind, as if the elbow is a human body. The hardest part is their true body.

In the face of this fierce style of play, the Bulls guys who had just finished fighting with the Heat were certainly not afraid at all!Not only were they not afraid, they also gave the Jazz a very tough counterattack!
Rodman took the lead in fighting with Malone under the basket. Longley and Ostertag, two 7-foot-long men, refused to let anyone go. They tried their best to pull and fight on each other's arms.

As for Jordan and Pippen?These two guys are not the kind of people who have suffered losses on the court in their lives. On the defensive end, they use all kinds of physical contact and small moves against the players they are facing!
As for why you are only crazy on the defensive end?Because on the offensive end, most of the Bulls' scenes were taken away by Lin Tian!

He almost never came outside the 3-point line tonight, but stayed in the low post, constantly using his height and strength to bully Stockton!
Elbows, knees, shoulders and fingers, as long as they can be used without being called a foul by the referee, Lin Tian never stops. He basically does not regard Stockton as an opponent, but purely treats him. As a sandbag.

All kinds of moves that he usually wanted to use but didn't dare to use, and that he learned from Rodman but didn't have the opportunity or time to practice, were used by Lin Tian one after another!

beat!I'm going to beat you today, you old bastard!
As for Jackson... Although his pre-game arrangement was to focus on Jordan first, and then let Pippen bully the opponent's short man according to the matchup situation, the current game process is completely different from what he arranged.

They were playing well, why did they stop?
Let Lin Tian go and have fun!

Where is the referee at this time?
