NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 212 The most watched Eastern Conference Finals in history! Jordan gives a big gift before the game!
  "Lin, what's going on between you and Spike? We all noticed that you two chatted for a while after the game." Just when everyone wanted to ask a few more questions about Jordan and the Bulls, a New York reporter But he stood up and asked another question.

"That was a fun conversation! Spike said he became a fan of mine! Said he loved my game and said he would be my biggest fan ever! Seriously, I was so excited! I'm so happy to have Such a big die-hard fan!”

"The two of us made an appointment. In the next game, he will wear my jersey to watch me play, and I will give him an autograph!"

This……

Lin Tian's answer confused all the collectors from New York present.

Turning Spike Lee into a traitor?

How can I describe this feeling of defection from the team's number one fan?

That's the feeling: Your most hated enemy leans into your ear and says to you: "Your wife is very moist!"

Run!
  Reporters from other places at the scene immediately burst out with evil smiles, hey, I asked you to ask New York, I asked you to ask Spike, you are humiliating yourself!
  Let someone else moisturize your wife!
  Be happy and satisfied!

"Lin, last question!" Another New York reporter stood up. His last question immediately caused a burst of protest from the reporters present.

What's the last question?
  We haven’t asked yet!
  Why did it end? Why did it end?

Who are you!

"Okay, the last one!" Lin Tian said with a smile: "It's up to you!"

Now the main reporters have spoken. No matter how unhappy the other reporters are, no matter how much they want to protest, they have no choice but to accept the fact with tears, pick up their pens, and decide to answer the last question no matter what. Every detail is recorded!
  "Lin, if you enter the Eastern Conference Finals, are you confident that you can help us defeat the Chicago Bulls?"

As soon as this question came out, all the reporters were quiet. They wanted to hear Lin Tian's answer.

"Of course! I have 100% confidence! We have only one goal in forming this team! Defeat the Bulls, defeat everyone, and win the championship!" Lin Tian's eyes were firm, and it was extremely rare that he answered seriously. this problem.

"I understand." The reporter nodded and said, "Then on behalf of New York City, I wish you a championship!"

At this time, in a hotel in Charlotte, Jordan had just lost the match point game. He was full of complaints because he failed to sweep the Hornets. He slammed the remote control on the carpet with a muffled sound.

Then, seemingly because the remote control was not broken, the guy bent down to pick up the remote control and smashed it against the wall.

"Snapped!"

This time, the remote control fell apart as expected.

"Damn bastard! Defeat us? Huh? You don't consider your opponents in the next round because you don't want to make a stupid mistake like me? And defeat us on behalf of the Knicks?"

"Okay! Very good! Let's see you in the Eastern Conference finals! Let's see who will be embarrassed and who will be sent home!" Jordan walked towards the door of the room angrily and dialed the phone in his hand.

"Clemens, I'm going to do another set of shooting and strength training. You find two people to accompany me."

After hanging up the phone, Clemens looked at Jackson with a grimace and said, "He saw it."

"I saw it, good." Jackson nodded. On the TV in front of him, the post-game part between the Pacers and the Knicks was also playing. He also saw the press conference just now!
  "Seeing that, Michael will display 150% of his status and ability in the Eastern Conference finals, and we will have a greater chance of defeating the Pacers!"

"Phil, do you think we can beat them this time and win the championship again?" Clemens couldn't hold back and asked Jackson. This question has been around since the playoffs and even at the end of the regular season. It has been bothering him, and he has always had an uncomfortable feeling.

how to say?

That is, if Clemens is asked to find someone in the league to lead a team to defeat the Bulls and Jordan, then Clemens feels that he will 100% choose Lin Tian!

Because he thinks that he knows Lin Tian better than anyone else! He and Lin Tian had fought side by side for two full years. He knew how terrifying and powerful Lin Tian was!

"Of course we can win! We have Michael and Scott who are in perfect condition, we also have Dennis, and Tony and Ron are in better condition this year than before. We will definitely win!" Jackson squinted his eyes and smiled: " You actually don’t have confidence, Clemens, go ahead and train with Michael.”

"Then, let Michael use his state to give you some confidence!"

When Clemens walked out of the room and Jackson was the only one left in the room, the relaxed smile that had just hung on his face disappeared. He took off his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, and then opened the drawer and took out a thick stack of scouting reports.

"Analysis of court habits of all Indiana Pacers players."

A piece of detailed information about the Pacers compiled by a Bulls scout. In the past few days, Phil Jackson has read this thing countless times.

If Clemens was still here, he would be very surprised.

Because no matter what opponent he played before, Jackson had never read such a thick and detailed ball report. He only read the simplified version! Because he felt that these things were useless.

But this time, Jackson took a look at the thickest, most detailed and complicated scouting report. It can be seen that Jackson is not as confident in his heart as he appears on the surface!
  At the same time, Lin Tian, ​​who had just walked into the locker room, had already received the crazy and excited celebrations of his teammates. All kinds of ice cubes and drinks were poured out crazily. Barkley even found two bottles of champagne from nowhere. Lin Tian was squirting excitedly!

And Lin Tian was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

As for the reason?

Of course Bodhisattva Qiao gave Lin Tian another big gift!

Just after the press conference, Lin Tian received 100 experience points from Jordan. Coupled with the experience points after the decisive hit, Lin Tian had a bumper harvest today!
  This game is really not in vain!
  At the same time, Lin Tianke is still looking forward to tomorrow morning! He was very curious whether Jordan, who had already watched the press conference today, would give himself some more gifts if he read the newspapers and headlines again tomorrow morning.

But, that's not what Lin Tian needs to consider tonight. Lin Tian has more important things tonight.

He just received a call from Hilton. The conversation between the two is very simple, direct and efficient!
  "Whip, blindfold, candle?"

"all!"

"Teacher and student, father and daughter, superior and subordinate, stranger?"

"Teachers and students!"

"Forced, voluntary, half-hearted?"

"Half push and half give!"

"Same place!"

After Hilton finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

……

In the fourth game of the series, Madison Square Garden was once again packed. Even though the Knicks were destined to be eliminated this season, even they knew that this series was over, but New York fans still poured in crazily. The arena!
  In fact, just last night, the Knicks officially announced the latest injury report.

Patrick Ewing will miss the game indefinitely due to the worsening of his right wrist injury. He will be reviewed recently and will decide whether to undergo a second surgery based on the situation!

Regardless of whether the Knicks can win this battle of dignity, or even whether the Knicks can truly become the first team in history to reverse a 3-0 deficit, Ewing's season has ended early!
  But the fans still showed their enthusiasm and expectations of the team!
  In addition, Spike Lee still reluctantly sat in his usual seat, wearing the Pacers' No. 7 jersey.

Lin Tian walked over, picked up a pen and quickly signed his name on it. He was about to say something joking, but Spike spoke first: "Lin, can you kill Chicago?"

"Of course! We will win the championship!" Lin Tian has always been confident about this kind of question!

"If you can really defeat Chicago, I have a script here! You can come to audition, no, I can make an appointment!" Spike Lee looked at Lin Tiandao: "It's a basketball movie! I've always wanted to make it, I have always wanted to find a professional basketball player to shoot.”

"But you are not black, and the background of the story may need to be changed, but that doesn't matter! I can change the script for you, as long as you want to have fun, as long as you can eliminate Chicago!"

"Let's talk about it in the offseason." Lin Tian waved his hand and did not directly agree to Spike Lee. He knew which movie Spike was talking about. Wasn't it the "One Up" starring Ray Allen? !

In this movie, Lin Tian was not very impressed by the acting skills of Ray Allen and Denzel Washington, nor was he very impressed by the basketball part in it. What he remembered most clearly and profoundly was a school. When the college recruits a player played by Ray Allen, they set a honey trap on him!

Moreover, it was a double beauty trap, and Ray Allen was directly addicted to four large elastic balloons.

This is Lin Tian's only impression of this movie. Anyway, Lin Daguan feels that it is too inappropriate for you to have a bank party, accept the 'gift', and finally not go to his school, Lei... Allen, you are not particular!
  At the very least, I have to go there again, tell people, say sorry, and see if I can fall into the beauty trap again?
  It’s just that the movie hasn’t been filmed yet? Lin Tian clearly remembered that this movie should be released next month.

But that’s not important. This movie mainly describes the story of the black neighborhood, about family relationships, race, faith, etc. If Lin Tian joins, it won’t be a matter of changing the protagonist. The entire story outline will have to be changed.

The script after this kind of magic modification, well, there is a high probability that it will not be very good, so it is better to forget it.

The New York fans this night were still crazy and enthusiastic, but their team really didn't have the energy to fight anymore.

Without Ewing, the absolute core of the team, the team fell behind 0:3. The Knicks did not play any desperate counterattack in the fourth game of the series. Their morale had already improved in the last game. After that decisive blow, it was completely exhausted.

They lost the ability to resist from the beginning of this game, and the score was lagging from beginning to end, without any resistance or suspense.

Fortunately, the Pacers did not beat the Knicks to death when the overall situation was decided and they had to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals in advance. They replaced the main players early. Lin Tian, ​​Miller, Barkley and others were consumed in the previous game. Huge guys, no one played more than 24 minutes this night!

91: 78!

In the end, the Pacers easily won the fourth game of the series without any surprises. They swept the Knicks with a score of 4:0 and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals! This is also the team's third trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since the 90s.

In the previous two times, the Pacers lost to the Knicks and Magic in 94 and 95 respectively. This time they were able to push the Knicks into the Eastern Conference Finals, which was a kind of revenge!
  Throughout the game, the performance of both players was very lazy and casual, and the game process could be said to be very boring. The only things worth mentioning were that Spike Lee, wearing Lin Tian's jersey, stood up to Lin Tian. The crowd applauded, and as the game drew to a close, the roar echoed throughout Madison Square Garden.

"BEAT CHI!"

"BEAT CHI!"

"BEAT CHI!"

Kill Chicago!
  This is the last request of the New Yorkers tonight and this season!

……

After easily defeating the Knicks and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, the other three rounds of the conference semifinals were also decided one after another.

The first is the Chicago Bulls. After they lost the fourth game of the series, they did not give the Hornets any chance in the fifth game after returning to Chicago. They cleanly defeated the Hornets with a huge advantage of 109:70 and 39 points. Charlotte natives are sent home!
  In this game, perhaps to avenge the loss, the Bulls team showed a very fierce, strong and extremely high-intensity defensive state. They stunned the Hornets from the beginning of the game. Leading the Hornets by a full 20 points in one quarter!
  The next game turned into a complete massacre. If Jackson hadn't replaced Jordan and others halfway through the third quarter, the Hornets would have lost by 58 points with a high probability!

But no matter what, the Bulls will be in their best condition, waiting for the Pacers' challenge!

Sitting on the home court advantage, they will wait for the start of the series at home!
  Over in the West, Shaquille O'Neal completely dominated the court and dominated Vin Baker. His average of 30+9+4 in the series was terrifying. Coupled with a shooting percentage of over 60%, no matter how brave Payton was, It's impossible to withstand this shark, which looks more and more like the most evil beast in the league!
  4: 1!

The smug Seattleites simply couldn't resist the Lakers' iron heel. The terrifying shark led his minions to easily sweep the Seattleites out and advance to the Western Conference Finals!

This is also O'Neal's first time in the Western Conference finals since he joined the Lakers two years ago! Their opponent is the Utah Jazz, who eliminated them in the Western Conference semifinals last year and just easily defeated the Spurs Twin Towers with a score of 4:1!
  The Jazz this season are more ferocious and ruthless than last year! The cooperation between Malone and his teammates is even more tacit. They made a comeback with the momentum of not giving up until they win the championship, vowing to win the first championship in team history!
  The duel between Shark and Malone, a pair of fierce inside players, the confrontation between Stockton and Fan Fan, one cool and the other frenetic, and the confrontation between Eddie Jones and Russell, the two top outside defenders in the league. In a head-to-head matchup, who can be the team's more reliable scoring point, Kobe or Hornacek?
  Who is the better bench gangster, Fox or Morris, and who is better able to stand up on the bench and help the team?
  Will the Jazz advance to the Finals for the second consecutive year, or will the Lakers, with four All-Stars, avenge their past humiliation and successfully take revenge?

There is definitely enough to watch in this round of the series, and the matchup is even more exciting. Judging from the regular season records, mutual records, and promotion paths, the two sides are definitely matched against each other and will meet good talents! This showdown is absolutely wonderful to watch!
  Well, the above are all CBS's advertising slogans, which they use to promote the Western Conference Finals.

There are even some more exaggerated terms, such as the battle of the century, whether the undersea postman can capture a shark alive, the battle for the league's top insider, who is the most violent muscular man in the NBA, etc.

In addition, CBS has also prepared many programs to render, preview and analyze the Western Conference Finals. They hope to arouse the excitement of the Western Conference Finals!

Why is this so?
  Because CBS initiated a vote before the start of the Eastern and Western Conference finals.

"If you had to choose between two conference finals rounds, which round would you choose?"

As a result, more than 84% of the viewers chose to watch the Eastern Conference Finals!
  This number directly frightened CBS executives. The comparison was too exaggerated. So, after discussion, two days before the start of the conference finals, CBS tried its best to build momentum for the Western Conference finals and rendered this series a The greatest and most exciting inside matchup in NBA history.

As for the Eastern side, they only need one title. Lin Tian VS Jordan!

The grievances and relationships between these two people over the past year are enough for the media and fans to turn on the TV! Not to mention there are two top head coaches, Pippen, Miller, Barkley and other powerful superstars in the league, as well as Lin Tian and the Pacers who have been shouting to defeat Chicago all year long.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, his gimmick has reached its peak without any warm-up!

As a result, CBS executives were switching back and forth between the happiness that the Eastern Conference Finals was bound to break the historical record of viewership, and the pain of worrying that the Western Conference Finals would be completely wiped out and no one would watch.

But no matter what expectations and concerns the TV station executives have for these two series, the series will not wait for them to work out a strategy before starting.

On May 1998, 5, after two days of rest, the Western Conference Finals began!
  In this game, the Jazz easily defeated the Lakers with a score of 112:77 and won an extremely enjoyable victory!

And what worried the league and CBS executives has indeed happened. The number of viewers of this game was only just over 600 million! This number is just higher than most regular seasons. On the stage of the conference finals, it is really too low!
  That's it, even with the Lakers, the traffic king, if the SuperSonics really beat the Jazz, this number might be even lower by 30%!

But fortunately, those who are worried about the ratings of the conference finals do not have to wait too long. The next day, that is, May 5, the Eastern Conference Finals will begin!
  It is also worth mentioning that just a few hours before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the league finally released the biggest suspense of this season's regular season!
  The best team of the year, the best defensive team of the year, and the MVP full of suspense!

Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Tim Duncan, Michael Jordan and Lin Tian were selected to the first team of the year side by side!

Judging from the leaders of the current conference finals, except for Duncan who was eliminated, the other four people are the absolute core of the remaining four teams!
  At the same time, this is also the first time in Lin Tian's career that he has been selected into the first team of the year! At just 24 years old, he obviously has a bright future!
  Of course, Tim Duncan was directly selected to the first team of the year in the first year of his career. Although Tim Duncan fell in the conference semifinals, his terrifying immediate combat ability and comprehensive and powerful strength are equally astonishing!
  In addition, David Robinson, Vin Baker, Grant Hill, Tim Hardaway and Gary Payton were jointly selected to the second team.

Dikembe Mutombo, Glen Rice, Mitch Richmond, Charles Barkley and Tyrold ​​Strickland were selected to the third team together!

Also announced at the same time were this year's Best Defensive Player and Best Defensive Team.

Mutombo was successfully elected as the best defensive player with 11.4 rebounds, 3.4 blocks and the highest defensive efficiency in the league. This is the third time in his career and the second consecutive time he has won this award.

And he also made it into the league's best defensive team!
  In addition to him, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Doug Christie and Gary Payton were selected together.

Among the second team of the year are David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Scottie Pippen, Eddie Jones and Lin Tian!
  From the best team and the best defensive team, you can actually see how interesting the Bulls and Pacers are.

Even if you don't look at the past grudges, two people from each team were selected for the annual defensive team, and both were selected for the first team and the second team. At the same time, Jordan and Lin Tian were both selected for the first team of the year! Although Pippen was not selected for the annual team, that was because he only played 1 games and his attendance rate deducted too many points.

但他整个赛季场均19.1分5.2篮板5.8助攻1.8抢断1.0盖帽的全面数据，绝对不会比任何一个人差！这个赛季休息充足、体力爆棚的皮蓬，绝对是又回到了自己最巅峰的状态！
  The last suspense of the regular season is also the biggest suspense. The ownership of the regular season MVP was also announced by the league at the same time.

Michael Jordan successfully won the MVP award with his all-around offensive and defensive performance averaging 31.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game!
  Behind Jordan are Lin Tian in second, Malone in third, Payton in fourth and O'Neal in fifth!
  Lin Tian has 27% of the votes and 17% of the first choice rates, which means that 17% of people think that Lin Tian is the mvp of this season!

Although far behind Jordan, who received 79% of the votes, Malone, who ranked third, only had a 2% first-choice rate.

Lin Tian deserves the second place as MVP!

This season, Lin Tian led the Pacers from the 20th place in the Eastern Conference last season to the third place in the Eastern Conference, improving by nearly [-] wins. At the same time, Lin Tian himself is fourth in the scoring list, first in the assists list, and fourth in the steals list. Eight, he is the only person in the league who has these three statistics ranked among the top ten in the league at the same time!

Of course, there is also the huge change in the Pacers' winning rate when Lin Tian is present and absent, which further proves that Lin Tian is the well-deserved number one core in this seemingly star-studded Pacers team!

There is also a huge difference in the performance of Jaylen Rose in the Pacers and the Raptors, which shows that Lin Tian is not only great himself, but also a player who can help his teammates become better!
  Record, influence on the team, influence on teammates, personal data...

Adding up all aspects, Lin Tian ranked second, and he definitely deserved it. Lin Tian was not unconvinced at all if he was not ranked first.

After all, Jordan is number one!

And it was Jordan who was even better than he remembered!

林天的印象中，原本这个赛季的乔丹虽然也是mvp，但场均数据也就是28.7+5.8+3.5，命中率46%+23%+78%！

Not to mention that he is old, but he is obviously worse than he was in his peak period. At that time, many people said that the mvp in 97 should go to Jordan, but the mvp in 98 should definitely go to Malone!
  This year's MVP was given to Jordan purely to find a balance and repay him for the MVP that was stolen from him the year before.

It sounds a bit confusing, but to put it simply, Jordan's MVP in 98 was actually full of controversy!

But this time, no one said that Jordan did not deserve the MVP, and no one said that Lin Tian or Malone deserved the MVP more than Jordan!

As for the reason? Pippen missed more games than Lin Tian remembered. Jordan took on more responsibilities and played better. Even if you don't look at anything else and just look at basic statistics, this year's Jordan is better than the one Lin Tian remembered. Much stronger!

31.3+6.5+5.1+2.0，命中率49%+31%+80%！

作为对比，林天记忆中的乔丹是28.7+5.8+3.5，命中率46%+23%+78%！

It’s definitely a level above!
  Lin Tian didn't know why Jordan was so strong this season, and he didn't know how much it had to do with him, so he decided to give it a try!
  So, Lin Tian was once again 'cleverly' blocked by reporters outside the United Center. As soon as they saw him, the group of reporters, as if they had seen their biological father, rushed towards Lin Tian and surrounded him. middle.

"Three questions, just three questions!" Lin Tian looked "reluctantly" and spread his hands to express that he didn't have many questions to answer.

"Lin, are you confident in this series?"

A reporter was afraid of being robbed of his questions, so he asked them immediately, but his nonsense question was immediately despised by his colleagues. After so many years, you still don’t know who Lin Tian is? Isn’t it a waste of money to ask him this question?

"Confident, 100%! We will win, well, there are two more!"

"You are ranked second on the MVP list, will you be angry? Who do you think is more worthy of this MVP, you or Michael?"

"Those are two questions!" Lin Tian said with a smile: "First of all, I won't be angry. Michael is Michael. He is the best. He deserves this MVP. He deserves it more than anyone else." This MVP!"

When Lin Tian said this, the reporters couldn't help but sigh.

That's it? Is this the poisonous king Lin Tian?
  Regarding these three issues, they are too lazy to write articles, and they cannot sell them without traffic!

Just when the reporters were disappointed and felt that Lin Tian was not at his peak, Lin Tian suddenly continued: "After all, I know better than anyone how much Michael longs for this mvp. After he lost the MVP trophy last year, he really Very angry! He wanted to skin Malone and the voters directly. He believed that he had been treated very unfairly."

"So I know what Michael went through last summer and how hard he trained. I also know how much energy Michael put into extra training this season. He really worked hard!"

"I also know how rare it is for Michael to have such an attitude towards a regular season award after having achieved these achievements! I respect him from the bottom of my heart and wish him the best! He can seize the opportunity of his career. The last and best opportunity is to win an MVP, I think Michael must be very happy too!"

"If you can see him, help me convey my congratulations!"

After saying this, Lin Tian waved his hand, turned and left, and walked into the player tunnel. The reporters on the scene were stunned for a moment. You looked at me and I looked at you. In less than 3 seconds, this The crowd dispersed in a hurry!

Some called to inform their companions, some rushed into the stadium to interview, and some called to ask if anyone knew where Jordan was. Everyone showed their talents and came up with various methods, but their purpose was actually only one.

Find Jordan! Interview him! Convey Lin Tian’s words to him!
  Lin Tian's words sounded full of praise and praise, but after a little research, he found that they were all lies! What is the yin and yang of strange things, praise and criticism?
  Lin Tian's words can definitely be written into textbooks!
  Twenty minutes later, more than a dozen reporters were allowed to enter the Bulls locker room and stand in front of Jordan.

"You said that Lin just expressed his opinion on me winning the MVP?"

"Yes, he congratulated you!" A reporter nodded excitedly at Jordan. He couldn't wait to repeat Lin Tian's words to Jordan, and then looked at Jordan's expression.

"He is still a human being." Jordan nodded, looked at several reporters, and motioned for them to continue.

"Lin said that he was very happy that you could get this MVP, because he knew how much you wanted this and how hard you worked for this MVP. He also knew how angry you were after losing the MVP last year."

Um? Jordan's eyebrows raised, something didn't feel right.

Since when have I been so eager for this MVP?

"He also said that at your age, it is difficult and very lucky to win the MVP. At the same time, he also said that he can understand that you devote all your energy to the regular season. After you have achieved your current achievements, you are still willing to do it. Working hard for things other than championships is equally rare and respectable..."

"Lin, you bastard!" Jordan scolded the reporter before he finished speaking!
  He doesn't need to hear the rest of it! Needless to say, Lin Tian would not say anything nice!

This bastard, I shouldn't have any expectations for him! I crave this thing? I hope to get this rag? I gave everything for this piece of shit?
  Also, what do you mean by my age? What happened to my age?

Jordan's expression changed again and again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and looked at the reporters and said, "If you can see Lin, let him wash his butt and wait! I guarantee he will have an unforgettable night!"

"Michael Jordan had mood swings and dropped 500 experience points!"

Oops!Here it comes!
  Lin Tian, ​​who had just sat down in the Pacers locker room to change clothes, received a gift from Jordan.

Sure enough, first praise and then suppress, first praise and then criticize, the yin and yang weirdness can make Jordan even more angry!

This time it’s only 500, which is definitely a huge profit!

After getting these 500 experience points, Lin Tian now has the remaining 521 points from the previous upgrade, the 1200 points for the game, the 2000 points that Jordan dropped during the All-Star Game, plus other bits and pieces. From the experience points accumulated in the competition, Lin Tian now has more than [-] experience points!
  Before facing the Bulls, a wave of upgrades must be completed!
  If you don’t level up if you beat Jordan, you’ll level up when you beat someone else?
  Before the upgrade, Lin Tian’s ‘Quick Gunner’, who he extorted from the young Curry, had been successfully upgraded to LV2 after a whole season of training.

"Quick Gunner LV2 (49/4000): The host's shooting speed increases by 13%."

As for the remaining 5000 experience points, Lin Tian took a look at his system and discovered something.

Not enough! This amount of experience is totally not enough!

The few skills that can be used, such as 'Peak Moment', 'Flying Mamba', and 'Offense and Defense', can easily cost tens of thousands of experience points. This amount of experience points accumulated in one season is really not enough.

Is it because I, the official Lin, am too kind-hearted and not cruel enough when I talk trash?

But no matter what the reason was, it was a bit too late now. He had to wait until after the finals.

Now... Lin Tian looked at his skill list.

I chose the two skills of ‘Flying Divine Pig’ and ‘First Defense’ to improve!

Of these two, one increases strength, jumping and rebounding, and the other increases defense!
  These are all areas where the Pacers are not very good at in this series.

In terms of rebounding, the Bulls have Longley and Rodman, and Pippen and Jordan are also rebounding masters. On the other hand, among the Pacers, except for Barkley who can compete with Rodman, others are absolutely superior in rebounding. There's no way to compete with the Bulls.

As for defense, needless to say, if the Pacers let Miller go against Jordan, Miller would probably have his bones broken after a series.

Letting Christie guard is a good way, but then Pippen will have no one to match up with, so let Miller go?

Forget it, it's better to let this guy focus on shooting, and forget about facing Hubble on the defensive end.

After almost exhausting the remaining experience points in his body, Lin Tian's two skills have also been improved!

飞天神猪LV3（0/8000）：力量增加15%，篮板能力增加10%，弹跳增加7%。

第一防守LV3(0/12000)：增加宿主单防能力15%、抢断能力15%、协防能力15%、盖帽能力10%、护筐能力10%！比赛最后5分钟，若宿主进入兴奋或暴怒状态，提升效果在当前基础上额外增加36%！

After upgrading several skills, Lin Tian immediately opened the system and checked his attributes.

This time, Lin Tian's main improvement is in his defense. Rebounds, single defense, overall defensive rating, and strength have all improved.
