NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 182 The All-Star votes for the first stage are announced!Get another big one from Jordan!
"You laugh so cheaply, Rob. Tell me, what are you happy about?" Lin Tian heard the great news from Pelinka's smile.

"Ten minutes ago, the league announced the rankings for the first phase of the All-Star voting. What do you think the results will be?" Pelinka still wanted to be cautious.

"Am I the king of votes?" Lin Tian thought of Su Qun's promise to him before and guessed casually.

"Voting champion? You look down on yourself a little bit." When Pelinka heard these two words, there was a sense of disdain in his tone.

"Not only are you the vote leader, your current number of votes has almost doubled that of Michael!" Pelinka said excitedly: "Now you have received 114 million votes, while Michael only has 60. You think so?" Isn’t it almost double the number of kills?”

"Don't forget, last year you got 110 million votes at the end, but this year you have already surpassed yourself last year in the first stage!"

"In other words, in the first stage this year, you have surpassed almost everyone's career-high vote record except Jordan!"

"It's not that exaggerated. Grant and the others have received 120 million votes." Lin Tian waved his hand, expressing a low profile.

"FUXX! Stop pretending to me now! You must know what this vote means!" Pelinka was very unhappy with Lin Tian's pretentious behavior.

Too bad!

As for what the 114 million votes in this first phase mean?
Of course Lin Tian knew what this meant.

This means that Chinese fans have begun to exert their strength!

At that time, the rookie Yao was able to dethrone the best O'Neal and become the starting center of the All-Stars. The rookie Arab League could almost squeeze out Garnett to become the starter with the data of 9+6...

I, a senior official from Lin, didn’t play a single game and became the top vote-getter directly. It’s very reasonable!Very logical!
Looking at the whole world, the voting ability of Chinese fans is quite explosive!

There is no other reason: there are more people, we are united, and we don’t have to worry about splitting votes!
However, this voting speed is really a bit too exaggerated.

You know, before last year, the peak number of NBA All-Star votes was around 120 million, and only Grant Hill and Jordan had ever received this number of votes.

And last year, because the effect of Jordan's comeback was so crazy, this guy doubled the record of All-Star votes in one fell swoop, reaching 240 million votes!And as Jordan's votes skyrocketed, the votes of other NBA players also increased, and they all experienced explosions.

For example, Grant Hill and Barkley both received more than 180 million votes, and Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen also received more than 150 million votes!

This means that although Lin Tian got 113 million votes last year, which was the top vote-getter in previous years, under the crazy circumstances last year, he only just met the selection threshold, and he was almost the lowest vote-getter among the 10 starters.

But this year, it stands to reason that the trend of Jordan's comeback has passed, and fans' enthusiasm for voting will drop significantly. Many professionals predict that the number of votes for this year's All-Stars will be significantly reduced. It is almost impossible to exceed 150 million votes!

But with the announcement of the first All-Star votes, this number of 150 million seems so conservative.

Lin Tian received 114 million votes in the first stage. This number is really exaggerated!

At the same time, Lin Tian is not the only one whose votes have skyrocketed, because in this era of All-Star voting, one vote is a complete starting lineup, which means that fans cannot vote for just one player.

As long as you vote, 5 people from the east and west will get votes, for a total of 10 votes!
Therefore, Lin Tian's vote count has skyrocketed, which will naturally bring a large number of votes to the other players!

The total number of votes for this year’s All-Stars will definitely exceed last year’s!
And after the results of the first stage of voting were announced, many people thought: This year, I am afraid that several people will get more than 200 million votes, and if you want to become an All-Star starter, you must get at least 150 million votes!

Don’t forget, there are still 45 days until the voting ends!It is simply impossible to estimate how much votes Lin Tian and others will gain during this period!
Even until now, Lin Tian has not played a single game!What if he comes back and plays a few more exciting games?What if after he comes back, the Pacers advance all the way and have a terrifying record?
Will his vote count have to explode again?
Judging from the current voting trends, Lin Tian will definitely set a new record for the highest number of votes in All-Star history this year!

And, it must be an unimaginable number!

When Jordan's 240 million votes were announced last year, it still seemed so out of reach and out of reach.

But just one year later, Lin Tian's number of votes this year is guaranteed to be over 400 million!

This is much stronger than Dayao's momentum back then!

But for this, Lin Tian thought it was reasonable after a little analysis.

First of all, Lin Tian’s own style of play is not that good compared to Dayao. His popularity base is incomparable to Dayao. In terms of the news that Lin Tian made during the offseason and his wonderful performances in the past two years Incomparable performance, Lin Tian is in the United States, but he has a basic base of 100 million votes guaranteed!
Apart from Jordan and Hill, there is really no third person in the entire Eastern Conference who can compete with Lin Tian in popularity!
Secondly, in Dayao's era, the Internet had begun to open up, and Chinese fans already had a relatively deep understanding of the NBA. Many players in China already had many fans, which made everyone Yao's votes were somewhat dispersed.

In addition, many rebellious fans believe that Dayao is not strong enough to start in the All-Star Game. They believe that voting for him is a shameful act, so they refuse to vote for Dayao. This leads to the fact that although Dayao can overwhelm O'Neal, the number of votes is not enough. It's not that exaggerated.

It wasn't until O'Neal traveled east to Miami in 05 and no one in the West took away his votes that he finally won his first All-Star vote!

And what about Lin Tian?Because of Lin Tian's emergence, Stern's idea of ​​globalizing the NBA was launched a few years earlier than planned.

For Asia and China, the NBA broke into their lives and came to them almost suddenly. Most fans have no channels to understand NBA teams and the leaders of each team. Who is the star's name, and what are his specialties and abilities?

It’s just what they watch on China Sports Channel.

It can even be said that at this time, more than half of the Chinese fans cannot recognize the names and LOGOs of the 29 NBA teams. Those who can recognize half of them are considered die-hards!
Not to mention that the Chinese folk at this time were full of all kinds of incredible legends that were like urban ghost stories!
Why can Garnett touch the coin on the top of the backboard, then take it off, and touch it 50 times in a row!
How could Jordan stay in the air for 3 seconds and complete his signature in the air after taking off?

Why are Chamberlain and Malone both Chinese...

It is not known through what channels and methods such various extremely strange legends were introduced to the ears of the general public, and spread throughout the country.

But what is certain is that many fans believe these legends to be true!

It is only in such an era that fans can unite as one. There are almost no trolls or sunspots who insist on saying that Lin Tian can't do it. Everyone votes for Lin Tian together!

Of course, the most important thing is: Lin Tian himself has All-Star starting level popularity and ability!
Well deserved, there is nothing unworthy of virtue.

There is no psychological burden at all when you vote!
Done!

After adding up all kinds of factors, this is the reason why Lin Tian's vote count is so terrible now!

The record that seemed out of reach last year will almost 100% be significantly refreshed this year!

"Besides, you are not the only one starting this year's All-Star game. Do you want to know who are the remaining starters in the Eastern Conference so far?"

When Pelinka said this, he suddenly couldn't help laughing. He was obviously very proud, and then said: "Beacon Mutombo, Grant Hill, and..."

"Charles and Reggie!"

"What? Charles and Reggie?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Charles and Reggie! Hahaha, let me laugh for a while, Charles and Reggie! Where is Michael?" How many votes does he have?”

"Reggie currently has 63 votes, and as for Michael, 60! Reggie is not in the lead by many, and will be overtaken at any time, but if the All-Star voting ends today, Reggie will beat Michael and be selected. All-star starting lineup!”

"Reggie!" Lin Tian couldn't wait to hang up Pelinka's call, and loudly called Miller, who was already walking forward to go back: "There's good news, guess what?"

"Are you going to take me with you for a multi-player sport tonight?" Miller looked at Lin Tian with a look of anticipation.

"Fuck you! Stop dreaming." Lin Tian first raised his middle finger, and then said with a bad smile: "You have never been an All-Star starter in your life, right?"

"Who said that! I did it! Just 3 years ago!" Miller curled his lips. His news was a little slower than Lin Tian's. Lin Tian was destined to use the information gap to suppress him!
"That year, Michael was not in the league, right? How dare you calculate this?" Lin Tian patted Miller on the shoulder and said: "Come on, call me nice twice. This year, my buddy will give you an All-Star starter. How about it?" Sample!"

"Are you going to quit the game?" Miller glanced at Lin Tian. Obviously, this vicious-mouthed guy didn't think he could overpower Jordan and become the All-Star starter.

"Retiring from the game! You have a lot of potential, Reggie! The two of us, fight side by side, how about partnering in the All-Star backcourt!" Lin Tian patted Miller on the shoulder and said: "It depends on whether you are willing to go out!"

If it were normal times, Miller would definitely spit trash talk at Lin Tian without hesitation, but now, Miller obviously hesitated, and then asked tentatively: "What do you want me to do?"

"Call Dad!" Lin Tian said seriously: "I'll do the rest for you."

"FUXX!" At this moment, Miller didn't know that Lin Tian was playing tricks on him. While showing a middle finger, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "What on earth is going on?"

"The voting for the first stage of the All-Stars is out." Lin Tian didn't hide it from Miller at this moment: "Eastern defender, I am first, you are second, and Michael is third."

"What the hell?!" Miller never dreamed that one day in his life, he would be more popular than Jordan.

"However, you are only ahead by 2 to 3 votes. As soon as Michael's fans show their strength, they can step on the accelerator at any time and overtake him directly! You can lead now because of my fans!" Lin Tian was proud! Said: "So when I said I would help you create an All-Star starter, I was not talking nonsense!"

"I am confident that you will surpass Michael and become the starter!"

"How much do you want!" Miller looked at Lin Tian and opened his mouth directly: "Do you need any connections? I also know a few people in the black market who might be able to help you. What are you going to do? Steal votes or falsify, what else? Or is there another way?"

"Reggie, have you watched too much "Mission: Impossible"? Do you think I am Ethan Hunt? I don't do the kind of work that only agents can do. My method is more simple and practical, but it is absolutely effective!"

"What can you do?" Miller became more and more anxious. Defeating Jordan, overpowering Jordan, and surpassing Jordan was his dream throughout his career, and it was also a goal that he had never been able to accomplish.

Miller knew very well that he would never be able to compete with Jordan in terms of popularity in his life. After leaving Indiana, he didn't have many fans at all. Compared to becoming an All-Star starter, Miller felt that educating Jordan twice in the playoffs would be counterproductive. It's more likely.

But now, the dream has become a reality!

"Call Dad!" Lin Tian patted Miller on the shoulder, indicating that he was not joking just now.

"You're not done yet, are you?" Miller looked at Lin Tian and already had the desire to punch Lin Tian twice.

But there is no other way. At this moment, Mr. Lin, the official, is obsessed with ethics!

You must shout!

Otherwise, if Iverson and Jordan give me experience every day, how can you make sense if you, a teammate, don’t give me some benefits and experience?

"Reggie Miller has mood swings and drops 50 experience points!"

"Lin, the joke is enough. Let's talk about our plan." Miller looked at Lin Tian and suppressed the urge to smash Lin Tian's nose directly.

"You call me daddy, and that's the beginning of our plan!" Lin Tian continued to look at Miller with a lewd smile.

"Reggie Miller has mood swings and drops 70 experience points!"

Oops!The anger is rising!

"If I find out that you are playing tricks on me after I scream, I will break your legs!" After Miller said this, he took three or four deep breaths in succession, opened his mouth many times, and finally stopped. Can shout: "FUXX! Lin, if you weren't playing tricks on me, I would have broken my own legs!"

Seeing Miller's furious look, Lin Tian knew it was almost done.

When joking, you have to have a certain temperament that makes people angry, but not annoying.

It’s a joke, just stop here!
Lin Tian looked at Miller and said relaxedly: "I just accepted an exclusive interview from China last week. The person who interviewed me is a good friend of mine, and his newspaper has the highest sales volume among all sports newspapers in China. On top of everything else! I can ask him to change things up a little bit.”

"For example, you and I are as close as father and son, and our father and son's common dream is to be elected to the All-Star Game together. Our biggest wish this season, besides winning the championship, is to stand side by side on the All-Star stage."

"Then, you accept an exclusive interview with this newspaper and tell us some stories about the brotherhood and the small details of supporting each other on the court..."

"Then, just wait for your vote count to skyrocket!"

"Is it that simple?" Miller looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, completely distrustful of his plan.

"Do you want to hear how many votes I have now?" Lin Tian looked at Miller and made two 1's!

"11 votes? Can you become an All-Star starter if you step on the horse?"

"Fuck you! You bastard, you have no imagination at all and you are still so cowardly. You deserve to be beaten by Michael!"

Lin Tian's two index fingers turned into two middle fingers, still two 1's: "110 million votes! Not even the change!"

"Now, tell me, do you believe that my fans can send you to the All-Star starting lineup!"

Even Miller, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard the figure of 110 million.

He knew very well how exaggerated this number was!
If we do this, it's possible that Lin Tian's total votes will exceed 400 million in the end!

Too scary!

Incomprehensible!Incredible!can not miss!
Well, not to be missed!

"Ask your reporter to come to me at any time. If he has time, I can accept his interview tonight!" Miller patted Lin Tian and said that this kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later!

"I'll have him call you."

Seeing Miller leaving impatiently, Lin Tian also took out his phone and called.

"Bancheng, what I promised you is done, what you promised me..."

"Brother Lin, what is your name Ban Cheng? Don't make fun of me. Who doesn't know that you are the real Ban Cheng? Just call me Xiao Duan! As long as you can interview Reggie Miller, I promise you that little favor, no Problem! Solved in minutes!"

After solving this Miller fan and achieving his dream, Lin Tian thought about it and made another call.He felt that on such a day of universal celebration, it would be a waste if he did not find a few reporters from several media outlets to interview him and meet him by chance!

"Rob, find a few reporters to come to the place where I do community service, meet me by chance, and ask me a few questions about the All-Star voting. What do you think? I'm a little worried that Michael's information is not timely and accurate enough. He has no way of receiving the news immediately!”

"Lin, sometimes I really wonder whether the relationship between you and Michael is good or bad." Pelinka knows the personalities of Jordan and Lin Tian very well. Lin Tian must be looking for reporters to stimulate Jordan!And after Jordan is stimulated, he will definitely go crazy with anger!

This kind of relationship... Pelinka really doesn't know how to describe it.

If he asked Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian would tell him that this is called falling in love and killing each other!

……

The next morning, as soon as Lin Tian woke up in a daze, he felt that the system had begun to work!

"Michael Jordan had mood swings and dropped 30 experience points!"

"Michael Jordan had mood swings and dropped 40 experience points!"

"Michael Jordan had mood swings and dropped 50 experience points!"

Oops!Those little guys moved very fast yesterday!
Lin Tian got up from the bed, found the newspaper just delivered at the door, and started reading it.

"Lin Tian bluntly said that every vote he got was worth it! 》

"Didn't win a game and become the top vote-getter?"Lin Tian didn't feel any pressure, he said he deserved it! 》

"Leaving the Bulls makes me stronger!"My previous partners influenced my progress! 》

"How good does it feel to take the vote away from Jordan?"Lin Tian: It’s better to snatch the championship trophy from him! 》

"Lin Tian said his best friend in the league is Reggie Miller! 》

"Lin Tian said that times are changing, and he was heartbroken when Jordan was kicked out of the starting lineup! 》

"Selfless!"Lin Tian said that if Jordan ultimately misses the All-Star starting lineup, he will give up his position! 》

I have to say that Lin Tian is really skilled at stimulating Jordan!
Just like eating and drinking, it has been engraved into Lin Tian's DNA and is readily available!
In this interview, Lin Tian gained almost 300 experience points from Jordan!
All I can say is that Michael will always be my best partner, Lin Tian!

As for what the media said...

Hehe, it will definitely not affect the friendship between Lin Daguan and Jordan!
What Lin Tian didn't know was that in Chicago at this time, Jordan had thrown all today's newspapers into the trash can. If it weren't for the fact that there were two young Jordans at home, then Jordan would definitely pour gasoline on the trash can and then directly Burn it to pieces!
too disgusting!

Lin this bastard!too disgusting!

Best friend is Reggie?The most satisfying thing is to snatch the championship trophy from my hands?Times have changed and we still have to give up our spot as an All-Star starter?

I'm going to fuck your rock candy and coke!
Lao Tzu!Michael Jordan, need someone to give in?

Christmas!
Christmas lets these damn Hoosiers know who they can never mess with!
Lin Tian or not, you bastards can't afford to offend me!

No matter how unhappy Jordan is, as the two interviews were published in the "Basketball Pioneer" and caused crazy reading and pursuit by fans, the votes of Lin Tian and Miller will continue to grow rapidly!
At the same time, Barkley's votes are also growing rapidly. This guy has done nothing, but he has almost locked in the next All-Star starting position in advance!
Simply rock solid!

But compared with the rapid growth and rock-solid All-Star voting, the Pacers' recent record is not very good!
In that game in October and the 10 games in November, they only had a total record of 11 wins and 14 losses, barely above half, and barely ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference!
There is no way to solve the Pacers' problems at all. The problems with their lineup force them to rely on offense to constantly fight against their opponents. The direct result is: the Pacers can fight all opponents until the last minute, but they can't. The score is always opened up by the opponent because of poor defense.

To put it simply: Don’t be weak when you are strong; don’t be strong when you are weak!
Entering December, the Pacers' record still didn't improve much. Before December 12, before Lin Tian's comeback, the Pacers played a total of 12 games and achieved a record of 17 wins and 22 losses.

Judging from the games played in the past month and a half, this team, which seems to have a very luxurious lineup, is just a team on the edge of the playoffs.

Mid-range teams can compete in the conference semifinals at most.

Although, in these 22 games, the Pacers' statistics are actually very good, especially on the offensive end.

Barkley is the team's leading scorer, averaging 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. Miller is the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 2.2 three-pointers and 18.8 points per game. Rose, who averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Schmitz, who averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game.

And Dumars, who did his best to support the team's back line when Lin Tian was away, averaging 14 points and 5 assists per game.

The team's five top starters averaged more than 80 points per game!But they couldn't do anything about their opponents. The Pacers had the highest scoring average, the fastest rhythm and the best 3-point shooter in the league, but they couldn't guard any opponent and were always beaten by their opponents. point.

An ordinary team with strong offense and weak defense, currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference and only in the middle of the league.

Of course, this is the Pacers without Lin Tian.

On December 12, the Pacers sat at City Square Arena and welcomed the Western Conference powerhouse Houston Rockets!

The Rockets this season are much more miserable than the Rockets who won 57 games and advanced to the Western Conference finals last season. Not only did Barkley leave the team directly, but the team also did not receive any reliable replacements. Strong, but the team also encountered a wave of injuries early on. Several players have been sidelined due to injuries since the beginning of the season.

This also includes their absolute core, Hakeem Olajuwon!

In the entire month of November, Olajuwon only played one game. The Rockets also had a miserable 11 wins and 1 losses in November, and were directly pushed to the bottom of the Western Conference.

Fortunately, Olajuwon came back after December and led the team to a winning streak. The Rockets are currently in a good state of winning 12 games in a row. As long as they win today's game against the Pacers, they will be It can bring your winning rate back to 6%!

But it is a pity that tonight the Rockets are facing Lin Tian, ​​who has just made his debut of the season. The Pacers tonight will never allow victory to slip away from their hands again!
The Pacers are going to win tonight!He was rushing to welcome Lin Tian with a big victory and at the same time boost the momentum of the whole team!

Their goal this year is not to enter the playoffs, their goal is the championship!
Soon, the starting players from both sides took to the court. Lin Tian officially made his debut at the City Square Arena for the first time this season and represented the team in the regular season for the first time!

When Lin Tian put on his No. 7 jersey and walked onto the court, the entire City Square Arena was completely boiling!Countless fans chanted Lin Tian's name, celebrated crazily, and roared to their heart's content!
After waiting for two months, they finally got their biggest expectation of the year!

Next, it’s time to see whether Lin Tian is worth 7 million in 1.4 years!

"Back!" Of course CBS knows which game has the highest ratings, and they have already decided to broadcast this focus game live across the United States!

Smith watched Lin Tian return to the court and said excitedly: "The last time Lin played in an official NBA game was in the finals half a year ago! That night, Lin gave us an unforgettable and unforgettable game." Describe the game!"

"Although it is unforgettable, it is best not to mention that game again. I also sincerely hope that nothing like that will happen again on the field!" Marcus followed: "Well, but I think after that game After this incident, no player or team will dare to take action against Lin's team unless they feel they have a long life!"

"Hahaha, that's right! In a sense, the Pacers will most likely become the team with the least conflicts this season!" Smith laughed: "Okay, let's look back at the game. The Rockets this season have less conflicts. After acquiring Barkley, they were unable to add any outstanding reinforcements, and they still played with the same team as last season."

"But they suffered very serious injuries at the beginning of the season, especially Olajuwon's injury, which caused their record to collapse. Although after Olajuwon's comeback, the Rockets have won six consecutive games, but I think most fans have to accept this fact now."

"This Western Conference powerhouse that won two consecutive championships three years ago has entered the dusk of glory. It is only a matter of time before they disintegrate."

Marcus quickly followed up: "But even so, if anyone dares to underestimate 'Big Dream' and 'Glider', they will definitely be severely punished! Well, we see that the referee has already walked onto the court, and the game is about to begin. Officially begin!"

On the court, Barkley first hugged his old friends from last year one by one. Although they failed in the Western Conference Finals last year and only played together for one year, Barkley still misses the old days very much!

The Rockets' starting combination tonight is the twin-tower combination of Olajuwon and Kevin Willis. In addition, Drexler and the Rockets are the only ones who have played alongside Olajuwon and won two consecutive championships. Meritorious guard Mario Alley, and then second-year point guard Matt Maloney.

This lineup is really showing its age. There are 5 starters in the team. Except for Maloney, the remaining four are all over 34 years old and are at the end of their careers. These five people are also the entire league. Among them, the oldest starting five.

But head coach Tomjanovich has no better way. He has no choice. These five people are already the strongest five-man group he can come up with now. The remaining people are really not worth mentioning. !
Tomjanovich, who once shouted the famous saying "Never underestimate the heart of a championship," knows very well that today's Rockets can no longer be saved by "the heart of a championship." A team's only options are reconstruction or elixir of life.

"Hi Malone, long time no see." Lin Tian looked at Malone standing with him and said hello with a smile.

"My name is Matt! Matt Maloney!"

"Okay Mani, no problem Mani."

"Are you done yet? You make fun of my name every time we meet. Can't you change the joke?"

"I don't want to change, I think it's very interesting." Lin Tian said very offensively: "Don't you like it?"

"Of course I don't like it!" Maloney looked at Lin Tian with rejection written all over his eyes.

"But I don't care!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he suddenly pushed Maloney when he was close to him and pushed him half a step back. Then Schmitz had already grabbed the first wave of the ball and pushed him back. Basketball is assigned to Lin Tian!
The fact that Olajuwon lost to Schmitz when fighting for the ball actually explains a lot!

If you add in the fact that Rose got rid of Drexler, who is famous for his fast break and advancement, and then received Lin Tian's pass and went directly to the basket to complete the dunk, then the Rockets' old look will be even more obvious.

Who is Drexler?Recognized as the No. 8 player in the league in fast breaks from the 90s to the 1s, he took long strides and quickly descended, using his long strides and long gliding distance to complete fast breaks again and again. This scene is definitely the most classic of the entire NBA in the early 90s. One of the pictures.

But now, he was thrown away by the unknown boy Rose and easily completed the fast break.

The 'glider' can't glide!
After easily scoring 2 points at the start, the most excited person was not the Pacers fans nor Lin Tian who sent out his signature assists immediately after his comeback.

The happiest thing is Jaylen Rose!
came back!This comfortable feeling is back!

Ross is finally running again!

In the preseason, Rose was the team's leading scorer, and he has always been proud of it. But when the game entered the regular season, Lin Tian was not there, and the Pacers had no one to give him the ball and pass. Rose's Efficiency and data have declined rapidly, and he no longer has the bravery he had in the preseason.

But now...

This feeling is back!

As expected, I, Jaylen Rose, was delayed by those old guys on the team. Running is the style I should have!

In the Rockets' offense, the basketball was undoubtedly given to Olajuwon. Facing Schmitz, Olajuwon didn't do much fake moves. He turned around and hooked the ball, easily scoring 2 points!
But as soon as he put the ball in, Barkley immediately exited the baseline and quickly passed the baseline ball to Lin Tian!

Lin Tian advanced quickly after holding the ball, carrying Maloney all the way to the frontcourt. Then when he was close to the 3-second zone, he suddenly made a ground pass from behind, and the basketball flew straight to the other side of the basket. Here is Rose followed up, grabbed the basketball, and dunked once again with both hands!
Stimulate!Comfortable!
The entire City Square Arena burst into cheers!

This kind of attack looks really pleasing to the eye and really comfortable!
The Rockets' offense, after a series of meaningless conduct, once again gave the basketball to Olajuwon's hands.

There is no other way. In today's Rockets position battles, apart from giving the ball to Olajuwon, there is really no reliable second move. Drexler is getting older and has the ability to tear apart the opponent's defense. It's not as good as before, and his 3-point shots are missing every game. As for Mario Ally, he has long since degenerated into a pure shooter.

The only one on the team who has some ability to break through the opponent's defense is Maloney, but Maloney is facing Lin Tian. Breakthrough?He is really powerless.

The ball can only be given to Olajuwon to solve.

Fortunately, facing the inside partnership of Barkley and Schmitz, Olajuwon played with ease. After turning over again and hitting a layup, the Rockets continued to cling to the score.

But this time it was exactly the same as before. After Olajuwon scored, Barkley did not give the Rockets a chance to recuperate or slowly return to defense. He quickly sent the basketball out again. This time it was Rose who received the ball. His push The speed is also very fast!
After chasing the aging Avery all the way to the frontcourt, Rose suddenly sent the ball into the sky with both hands. Lin Tian on the other side had already pressed Maloney regardless and forced to take off. He grabbed the basketball in the air and headed towards the basket. Just smash it over!
"boom!"

After a loud noise, Lin Tian pressed the ball into the basket with both hands. At the same time, he stubbornly blocked Maloney in front of him. Maloney, who wanted to prevent him from dunking, dunked directly to the ground!

After scoring the goal, Lin Tian waved his hands up and down crazily and roared loudly. The entire City Square Arena once again fell into madness!

How could anyone not like this style of play?
Next, in the first half of the first quarter, the Pacers always adhered to the tactical principle of not flanking on the defensive end and running for their lives on the offensive end. A group of old men leading the Rockets ran like crazy!
At the same time, it also forced Olajuwon to play singles non-stop, and the veteran's physical strength was rapidly depleted and declining.

Six minutes into the first quarter, the score between the two sides was temporarily tied at 6:14. The Pacers led by 10 points. Lin Tian scored 4 points and 4 assists, Rose scored 3 points, and Olajuwon contributed. Scored a game-high 5 points!
At this time, the game also entered a timeout for the first time.

"It's so exciting! After Lin's comeback, the entire Pacers team's style of play and passion for playing are much better than before without him! Lin alone is a system, and he can drive the entire team. Team members run with him!”

After watching for 6 minutes, Smith couldn't help but said: "In the history of the NBA, is there any other point guard who has such a system and can change an entire team by himself? Besides Magic, it's Lin, right?" ! Most of the other point guards serve the system and make the system more complete and powerful."

"But Lin can really create a brand new system!"

"I completely agree with everything Smith said. Lin is the kind of person who can make the game simple and make teammates feel comfortable. With Lin, you can just run! Leave the rest to Lin. ! I think the person in the Pacers team who is most eager for Lin to come back is Rose."

"Before Lin returned, Rose's efficiency and statistics were far inferior to those in the preseason. But after Lin returned, this guy quickly found the feeling. He might really be the most improved in the entire league this year. player of!"

On the court, Bird half-crouched on the floor and said to his players: "Guys, let's give the Houstonians some confrontation! Ben, come on, you're responsible for holding off Olajuwon! No need. Don’t worry about his steps, don’t worry about his fake moves, your job is not to jump, but to withstand him!”

"Getting points from him? It's okay, don't be afraid! Just give him a fight and let his physical strength be consumed faster!"

"Lin, Jaylen, whoever you two are on the same side as Olajuwon, spot the opportunity to help defend! Force him to make a quick choice and complete the offense quickly instead of holding the basketball in place and observing slowly! "

"The same goes for everyone else! No matter who sees Olajuwon, they can fight him! Let him feel our enthusiasm! As for the offensive end, don't think too much, everyone just keep running! Lin You won’t be disappointed!”

After giving instructions on the tactics, the Pacers replaced Barkley with their big brother, while the other four players continued to walk onto the court without any changes!
The first offense after returning was still in the Pacers' possession. Lin Tian grabbed the ball at the top of the arc, reached out and patted his head, signaling for the inside players to come forward and give him a screen.

Maloney's reaction was also very fast. While taking a half step back, he glanced left and right, trying to observe which direction the pick-and-roll player was coming from.

But just when he noticed Ben running towards him, Lin Tian had already taken advantage of his half step back to shoot a 3-pointer with great determination!
"Shh!"

Lin Tian successfully attacked and scored 3 points!
After being hit by Lin Tian for a 3-pointer, Maloney cursed, then turned around and wanted to continue dribbling forward, but this time, his advancement was not that easy!
