NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 227 Lin Tian’s friendly reminder!

"Faced with the Jazz's fast rotation, high pressure on the ball holder, and high confrontation, it is very easy for the opponent to fall into singles. If you want to break him, two things are most important!"

"First of all, as Charles just said, as long as they pay enough in the interior, their defense will no longer be able to run. As long as their defense can stand still and cannot miss anyone, then their system will be useless. Half, nothing to be afraid of.”

"The second is to move the ball! When the ball holder faces the Jazz's pressing defense, he must pass the ball to make their defensive players exhausted and consume their patience and energy! We have Lin, Doug and Ray Ji, at this point, I’m not worried at all!”

"So the only one Larry is worried about is you, Charles, did you hear that?" Miller bumped Barkley's stomach with his elbow and said, "You have to work hard and don't get blown away by Karl again."

"Quiet!" Bird frowned and cursed: "The Finals! This is the Finals. If you two want to flirt, when you win the championship, you can kiss in the Indiana City Hall on horseback. , but now, listen quietly to me!"

Bird's rare outburst made Miller and Barkley quiet down immediately. Everyone also knew that Bird, a rookie head coach, seemed peaceful and casual and did not take the Finals seriously, but in his heart The pressure is absolutely huge!

"In short, it's still the same sentence, pass more, run more, play more inside, and smash their mobile defensive system!" Looking at Barkley and Miller who had calmed down with satisfaction, Bo De continued: "Then, when they return to their normal defensive matchup."

"Lin, it's your turn! Beat up Stockton, you are the most experienced!"

"Leave it to me, as long as they dare to let Stockton and I play against each other, I will beat Stockton to the point where he doesn't even know who he is!" Lin Tian nodded: "In addition, in fact, I will beat the whole team. They are all very experienced, and they have all been beaten by me.”

"Don't beat me this time." Bird looked at Lin Tiandao: "I also hope you win the first FMVP in your career! Of course, if you really can't bear it, then beat him harder! In the worst case, ban him again. 25 games! We can afford to fight! As long as they are willing to take a beating, we are not afraid of anything!"

"Everyone else, understand? We don't cause trouble, but if these Salt Lake City bastards dare to take the initiative to stir up trouble, we are not afraid of them, we can kill them! Whether it's basketball or fighting!"

"understand!"

"Very good." Bird's eyes swept the entire field again, and then said: "After talking about the offensive end, the next step is the defensive end."

"On the defensive end, there's actually nothing much to say. There are only two key points."

"First of all, Lin watched Stockton, making it impossible for him to organize the team's offense and pass the ball."

"Secondly, the rest of the team should keep an eye on Malone so that Malone cannot attack comfortably! Charles, you have to be responsible for the opening matchup with Malone. I need you to at least get even with him! Ben, Dell, you two are in this round. My playing time will definitely increase, and I need you to defend Malone."

"Doug and Reggie and Hoiberg and Joe and everybody else, remember, whenever you get the chance, whenever the distance is close, whenever Malone gets the ball, double-team him! I want him to be in front of him every time he plays. There are at least two of our people!"

"I don't care whether he averaged 30 points or 35 points per game against the Lakers. In this round of the Finals, I want Malone to average no more than 25 points per game!"

"As long as we can do these two things, this series will be our crushing game! We can easily kill the Salt Lake City people! I can tell everyone my goal for this series."

"Sweep! It's that simple, sweep! Let's sweep them!"

Bird's words were conveyed to the media verbatim by Lin Tian one hour before the game started. When he was interviewed by reporters before entering the arena, he mentioned Bird's words without even thinking about it. Dehe team's goal told the reporter who interviewed him.

Lin Tian's words made the reporters who were interviewing him tremble with excitement!

This sentence can support the circulation of their newspaper for at least a week!

Pacers win: "Lin Tian's bold words before the game have now come true!" Lin's bold words never go unfulfilled! ” or “Ultimate self-confidence brings ultimate strength. Lindsay had already threatened to sweep the Jazz before the game! 》

If the Jazz win: "Lin was slapped in the face for his pregame talk, and Lin will suffer the consequences!" ” or “After the victory, Ma Long admitted that Lin Tian’s sweeping declaration gave them extra motivation! 》

In short, once Lin Tian said this, reporters could play with him over and over again, tearing it apart, smashing it up and then restoring it again for the entire series! It doesn't matter whether the Pacers win or lose. Lin Tian's words can be used by reporters time and time again to deceive newspaper sales. That's the most important thing.

"How do you feel about facing the Jazz in the Finals for the second consecutive year?" The reporters were not willing to let go of a star like Lin Tian who could make explosive revelations at any time. They followed him and continued to ask questions.

"I don't feel anything. I hope they won't look for trouble this year and lose the ball cleanly. Everyone is happy. Otherwise, if some people on their team stay in the hospital for half a year, it will be hard to say whether they can return to the league. Got it!"

"Are you threatening Jazz to be careful?"

"Threat? Of course not! Of course not! I despise violence on the court, and I oppose all violence on the court! I will never take the initiative to attack anyone in my life! Just talk about how much Houston and Starks elbowed me in this year's playoffs. How many times have you stumbled upon me?"

"Michael gave me two blows on my thigh and ribs in the fourth quarter of the game. The swelling hasn't subsided yet! But was I angry? Did I do anything? I didn't even get a T!"

"That's because I think these are basketball actions! I can accept it! And I will fight back in the same way!"

“But if someone uses something outside the scope of basketball against me, trying to scare me, trying to make me surrender, trying to win over our heads, then I’m sorry, I will use the same thing to fight back! "

"When you play basketball, just play well. If you want to play something else, I will definitely accompany you! As for the threat you mentioned, I don't think it is a threat. It is called a friendly reminder! I do it out of deep respect for Stockton and Malone. Love specifically reminds them not to do wrong.”

After answering this question, Lin Tian had already walked into the player tunnel, and the media certainly would not wait until the next day to publish Lin Tian's words.

They will see the results tonight!

The first to receive the news were of course Malone, Stockton and others on the other side of the court. When reporters said that Lin Tian was going to sweep them, Malone snorted and said: "Let's walk." Look, look at how the game is going! Does he think he is invincible after beating Jordan?"

"By the way, before Shaq was swept by us, he also thought he was invincible! But everyone can see the result very clearly!"

Stockton also said relaxedly: "He must think it's great that he beat us last year, but I have to say, that's because he is standing next to Jordan. Now there is no Jordan beside him, and no one is attracting firepower for him. I I will guard him to death, and I will let him know why I am the league’s all-time steal leader and the best defensive point guard!”

"So Karl, John, Lin also said that he asked you to be careful and don't use things outside the scope of basketball to deal with him, otherwise he will not hesitate to let you stay in the hospital bed for another half a year! For this kind of threat, you What do you think?"

The reporter's question made Ma Long stunned for a moment.

What do I think?

How else could I watch? Of course I was lying on the ground watching him beat my teammates!

Last year, Lin Tian beat the Jazz team by himself, which cast a huge shadow on Malone and even the Jazz team.

For example, during the Eastern Conference finals, the entire Jazz team, without exception, supported the Bulls and Jordan!

The euphemistic name is to take revenge.

But we all understand the actual reasons.

They were really a little afraid of Lin Tian, ​​a guy who was always smiling and very handsome.

This bastard started to fight, and he really wanted to kill him!

Of course, if Lin Tian heard this idea, he would definitely be very unhappy.

These bastards robbed people of their innocence out of thin air!

Why did I, Senior Officer Lin, beat me to death with my deadly hands? If I were to be ruthless and show my full strength, you wouldn’t even be able to get together the players in the next few games of last season’s finals! Wouldn’t it be easy to destroy you all?

In response to the reporter's question, Ma Long suddenly transformed into a messenger of peace and a partner of justice!

"I strongly oppose, condemn and hate all court violence! The basketball court should be clean! There should be only basketball. Those violent things will affect our brand, reputation, and the 450 players and thousands of players in the entire league. Well done to the staff for their hard work!”

"At least two generations of our players have worked hard for 20 years for the reputation and reputation of this league to keep the league away from violence, drugs, dirty match-fixing and a series of other disgusting things. I really hate those things. We have already been enjoying the success, receiving high wages, and enjoying the benefits that our predecessors worked hard to obtain.”

"Then, the guy who doesn't care about or cherish these things and insists on destroying all these beautiful things! Such people should be expelled from the alliance!"

After listening to Ma Long's words, some of the reporters in front of Ma Long couldn't help but rub their eyes, and some secretly pinched their thighs.

They just want to make sure whether they are dazzled or have some illusion.

Could such words be said by a villain like Ma Long?

That is to say, Ma Long's reputation is too fierce, otherwise reporters would definitely reach out and touch Ma Long's head to see if he had a fever.

"Get out! I'll give you 10 seconds, get out!" Sloan's harsh, cold and impersonal voice came from the door of the locker room. The old coach also came to the locker room: "If time If you reporters don’t get out when we get there, I’ll throw you all out!”

Sloan spoke, so as long as he was not an idiot or a fool, no reporter would challenge Sloan's bottom line. All reporters stood up quickly and walked out of the locker room door immediately.

"Oh!"

As Sloan slammed the door, there was no one outside the locker room.

"In the last 40 minutes, the game is about to begin! Are you all ready?" Sloan looked at his disciples and asked.

"Ready!"

"Are you ready to wash away the pain and shame that the Bulls and Lin inflicted on us last year?"

"Ready!"

"So, Karl, tell me, your mission is..."

"Blow Barkley, blow up their entire inside line, and blow up everyone who plays against me!" Malone's voice was firm and without hesitation.

"John, what about you?"

"Look at Lin, let's move the basketball." Stockton said coldly: "When you can't guard Lin, ask for help in time and ask your teammates to help me double-team him."

"Jeff?"

"Put the ball in! Let the Pacers dare not double-team Karl too much." Hornacek nodded.

"Brian, Adam, Greg?"

"Defend! Defend with your life! Defend those bastards of the Pacers to death!"

"Very good." Then Sloan asked everyone on the team, including the water cooler players who were almost certainly not going to play. Sloan did not miss any of them. He asked everyone, asked everyone Tonight's mission.

Then, Sloan slapped him hard and said: "Go, conquer this league, conquer the Pacers, and become the league's champion!"

Delta Air Lines Arena is another arena in the league named after an airline, and it is also one of the youngest arenas in the league.

It was built in 1990 and put into use in only half a year. The entire arena can accommodate 19911 people, making it one of the top five giant arenas in the league!

Lin Tian is no stranger to this place. Last year, it was his old punch here that sent the entire Jazz team into panic. Several people went to the hospital and lost the finals.

It is precisely because of this that when Lin Tian entered the stadium, all kinds of obscene words were thrown at Lin Tian!

Lin Tian grinned, stretched out his little finger to pick out his ears and said: "This is why I always say that the fans in Salt Lake City are not very good. Their level of booing is too low! Facing my number one enemy, they actually scolded me. So uncreative.”

"Disappointed, so disappointing!"

"You're your number one enemy? What about Michael?" Miller couldn't help but complain about Lin Tian.

"Needless to say, of course they hate me even more." Lin Tian said with a smile: "If they can't beat Michael, they can just punch him and send him to the hospital, but they can't beat me? Ask them if they have any No one dares to come over and punch me directly.”

Well, this angle is perfect, and there is no way to refute it.

"Hey Carl, long time no see. Last year's series was very exciting and I often miss it." Lin Tian looked at Malone who was walking not far away with a smirk on his face and said provocatively: "I'll hit you with my fist." The feeling on my face is really good!”

"Wait a minute, I can't remember whether I beat you or not that night. It doesn't matter. I beat you too many people that night, and my memory is confused. Anyway, one thing is right: that was the first time I beat you in my life. It’s the most enjoyable fight anyone has ever had. Without you, I wouldn’t have such a good excuse to fight!”

"So what I'm saying is, I've been looking for an opportunity to say thank you."

Arrogant!

Lin Tianzhen was so arrogant that both Miller and Barkley wanted to help Malone punch Lin Tianzhen.

Ma Long's reaction to Lin Tian's naked provocation was also very simple and direct.

He didn't hear it, well, at least it seemed like he didn't hear it. This guy kept walking forward without even a moment's pause or hesitation, then turned a very abrupt corner and walked back to his bench.

"This bastard Karl, has his eggs shrunk?" Barkley looked at the guy he regarded as his biggest rival at the same position in his career in disbelief, rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said, "This villain, has his eggs shrunk? "

"Okay, Charles, let's face the reality." Miller stretched and said, "With Lin here, all teams will be no different from good babies in kindergarten when they play against us!"

As for Ma Long on the other side, he is filled with regret now!

I'm really blind. I can't go in any direction. I have to get close to that bastard Lin Tian and bring shame on myself! Absolutely humiliating yourself!

Ma Long is an absolute villain with a bad temper, perverse personality and very dark attacks. But a villain is not the same as an idiot. After realizing the huge gap in force value between himself and Lin Tian, ​​Ma Long knew that there are some people he cannot afford to offend. It's best not to mess with them, otherwise you'll be humiliating yourself.

Fortunately, there is not much time left before the start of the game. Bird has already begun to call all the Pacers players to gather for final instructions. They have no time and opportunity to taunt Malone. This also makes Malone couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Malone was relieved, but at the NBA headquarters, Stern sighed in disappointment.

The peak number of viewers of the Eastern Conference finals tiebreaker once exceeded 4200 million, and the number of viewers for most of the entire game also exceeded 3600 million!

What is the concept of this number? Before this game, the NBA's most watched game was Game 1993 of the 3200 Finals with million viewers.

But that's the peak number. The number of viewers most of the time is actually less than 2500 million.

And what about this game? The peak number of viewers increased by a full 1000 million, and the average number of viewers increased by as much as 1100 million!

Not to mention the number of viewers around the world who cannot be calculated or estimated!

From any angle, this game can be recorded in history. It is a super game that is enough to make the entire NBA league excited and crazy!

But the problem is that after such an extremely crazy game, when it comes to the first game of the Finals, Stern, the league and the TV executives all know that the number of viewers will continue to remain at the crazy level of about 3600 million. It's numerically impossible. Even the most optimistic estimates from the league and TV stations were cut in half, leaving around 1700-1800 million viewers.

But when the first game of the finals was about to begin, Stern and the others knew that they were still too optimistic.

700 million!

The viewership of this game was barely a fraction of the tiebreaker of the Eastern Conference Finals!

Even if this number can increase after the game starts, according to past practices and experience, the peak number of viewers can reach 1200 million, which is enough for everyone to burn incense!

"Sure enough, it will take a showdown between grudges, a showdown between high-ranking stars, and a showdown between big-city teams to really raise and stabilize the attention and viewership! A showdown between outside stars is definitely much higher than that between two top insiders A fight between giants!”

When Stern thought of this, many names suddenly popped into his head.

Hardaway, Hill, Iverson, Kobe, Marbury, Carter who has not yet entered the league, and, by the way, Francis, the spring man from the University of Maryland!

Of course, there is also Lin Tian who is already on the highest stage and has just eliminated Jordan!

The showdown between these guys, these guys who have super popularity or will have super popularity sooner or later, is the real hope of the alliance!

Maybe, I should give these people some small help so that they can grow faster and become more important in the team?

No matter what Stern is thinking or planning in his head now, it has nothing to do with tonight's finals.

Because the starting players from both sides have now taken to the court.

For the Pacers, Bird still uses his favorite and most commonly used starting lineup.

Rick Schmitz, Charles Barkley, Doug Christie, Reggie Miller, Lin Tian!

On the Jazz side, old coach Sloan also continued his starting lineup that has hardly changed this season, continuing to reflect his stubbornness.

Greg Foster, Karl Malone, Jeff Hornacek, Brian Russell, John Stockton!

Ten players walked onto the court, doing their final warm-ups while completely ignoring the referee's routine and boring threats.

"beep!"

As soon as the whistle blew, the basketball was thrown into the air by the referee. Schmitz's height was obviously better than Foster's, who was less than 208 centimeters, and he got the first wave of the ball for the Pacers tonight.

After Lin Tian got the basketball, he was not in a hurry to advance quickly and attack quickly. He looked at Stockton who stood in front of him for the first time and said: "Do you miss my fist, old dog?"

"You can only threaten me with this, huh? When it comes to basketball, what else do you have the ability to do?" Stockton held Lin Tian's waist with one hand, raised his other hand high, and took advantage of the referee to Inadvertently, he pinched Lin Tian's waist hard!

"Hiss!" Lin Tian gasped in pain, looked at Stockton in front of him and said: "You are looking for death, aren't you!"

"Come on, if you have the guts, just give me a punch!"

With these two sentences, Lin Tian understood.

Today, Stockton has come to sacrifice himself as a martyr!

This is to fight to be beaten to death by Lin Tian, ​​but also to taunt and anger Lin Tian from the beginning of the game!

It’s like cutting off meat to feed the eagles!

It seems that Stockton really loves Salt Lake City deeply enough.

"How about a surprise for you?" Lin Tian looked at Stockton and suddenly passed the ball.

Stockton is so brave after being beaten by himself. He is really brave.

In order to reward Stockton, Lin Tian decided to give him a gift.

Well, not only a gift to Stockton, but also to the entire Jazz team, even Jordan, who has been eliminated!

'97-98 Michael Jordan Experience Card (full game)! ’

This thing is not used in the Eastern Conference Finals. Now it is the Finals. There will be no more important games than this time. Keep it.

used!

It also makes Jordan feel a little involved in this series!

After passing the ball to Christie, Lin Tian quickly came to the low post, stuck Stockton, and reached for the ball!

"Boy, are you looking for death? Instead of beating me with your speed and vision, you want to duel me in the low post?" Stockton asked in disbelief.

After all, after suffering a serious injury in last year's finals, Stockton's speed and agility, which were not excellent to begin with, have further declined. Now, if he does not use pick-and-rolls, he has almost completely lost his ability to break through!

And when facing a speedy opponent, his lateral movement has completely failed to keep up. The defense he is famous for now only has small moves, black hands, and a little awareness and experience. This is also what he has. The reason why he wanted to commit suicide to stimulate Lin Tian from the very beginning.

Stockton knew that if he fought hard, he would definitely be beaten to pieces by Lin Tian, ​​and he would not even be able to stand up.

So he had to make a bet, betting that Lin Tian would take the initiative, fight with him, or even beat him directly!

To put it bluntly, after watching the Eastern Conference finals, Stockton already has a very clear understanding of the strength gap between the two sides in this series.

Can't beat it! Definitely can't beat it!

However, he didn't say these words to anyone, including Malone and Sloan.

Stockton decided to sacrifice himself to see if he could win a chance for the Jazz.

Obviously not!

Not only because Lin Tian is the league's number one trash talker and master of psychological warfare, it would be extremely difficult to get Lin Tian to take the lead.

It's also because, even if Lin Tian really doesn't pass the ball and faces Stockton in a duel, with Stockton's current defense and speed, Lin Tian can easily beat him!

Stockton understands these things, and of course Lin Tian understands them even better!

Therefore, when Lin Tian gave up his biggest advantage in the high position and came to the low position to confront Stockton, Stockton felt for a moment: his plan was completed, and Lin Tian really came up. This is to use Use the method you are least good at and have the smallest advantage to defeat Stockton!

Then, Stockton realized that he was really overthinking it!

"Boom! Boom!"

After two muffled sounds caused by physical confrontation, Lin Tian suddenly exerted force and collided with Stockton for the third time!

This time, Lin Tian's force was much greater than the previous two times. He pushed Stockton back two full steps before he stopped. Lin Tian had already completed his turn and shot a fadeaway jumper. Got 2 points!

"Good shot! Lin scored the team's first point in the NBA Finals for the Pacers! He used a Michael Jordan signature move! A fadeaway jumper. I am very curious. What is Lin doing? Demonstration or tribute?" After Lin Tian hit the ball, Marcus also quickly started to analyze.

Smith said: "I think Lin's shot was aimed at Jordan. He was telling Jordan: I can do the same way you play! Lin wants to prove that winning the tiebreaker was not an accident!"

After making a shot, Lin Tian exaggeratedly put a hand on his forehead, then looked around and said: "John, John! Hey, John, where are you? Why can't I see you?" ?”

In response to Lin Tian's provocation, Stockton lowered his head and pretended not to hear it at all. He took the pass from his teammate and started to advance towards the frontcourt.

But his advancement was far from smooth as expected, because Lin Tian did not return to defense, but immediately stuck to Stockton's side and started a full-court press defense against him!

It's not a full-court defense, but the kind that directly sticks to the body and meets the tough, a true full-court press defense!

"Hey! It turns out that enemies are meeting each other, and they are extremely jealous! After scoring a goal, Lin immediately adopted a high-intensity close-pressing defense against Stockton!" Marcus discovered Lin Tian's defense, and the first Time will tell him to the audience.

Smith said: "But there should be a grudge between Stockton and Lin. There is no grudge between Lin and Stockton. After all, last time..."

At this point, Smith smiled and closed his mouth. Everyone knew that he was talking about the fight in last year's finals, a game that embarrassed the entire Jazz team and made them unable to hold their heads high.

He really beats the whole team by himself!

But now, Lin Tian plays extremely aggressive defense on the court to keep himself in front of Stockton.

Stockton just wants to curse!

He couldn't understand how Lin's defensive ability improved so quickly? Not only was the defensive pace fast and dense, but all the details were impeccable. Coupled with the very strong oppression, Stockton smelled like Payton in Lin Tian!

That is to say, although Stockton's physical fitness has declined significantly, his experience and basic skills are still there. Although he was a little embarrassed by Lin Tian, ​​he finally dribbled the ball safely through half the court.

After halftime, Stockton opened his hand and wanted a Malone cover, but Lin Tian suddenly once again strengthened his defensive pressure and pushed towards Stockton. This time he Almost the whole person hung on Stockton's body.

Lin Tian took advantage of the moment when Stockton raised one hand to cover and only had one hand to dribble. He suddenly made a move. Not only was the physical confrontation very sufficient, but his long arms also stretched out directly and hit him directly. On top of the basketball Stockton was dribbling.

"Snapped!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian successfully intercepted the ball, turned around and dodged Stockton's arm that was trying to stop him, picked up the basketball, and rushed towards the frontcourt!

This time the interception of the ball was very close to the midline. No one on the Jazz team could react at all. They could only watch Lin Tian rush to the frontcourt, and then step on the lower arc of the free throw line, and the whole person bounced up. !

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian hit the target with a one-handed gliding chop!

4: 0!

"Trash! You're just lucky!"

"John, fuck him and let him know how powerful you are!"

"Scrap! Maggots in the sewer!"

"The cockroaches in my grandma's house are stronger than yours! Don't be too proud, kid!"

After Lin Tian scored 2 goals in a row, the Jazz fans immediately started to boo, and all kinds of boos came towards Lin Tian. Booing people, they are professionals, they are also professionals with their tough words!

However, Lin Tian did not react at all to this kind of pure swear words with no technical content. Apart from feeling noisy, Lin Tian did not react at all. He even stood under the Jazz's basket with his hands raised to his ears, indicating that the fans could stop making noise. bigger.

Arrogant!

Lin Tian was so arrogant that he didn't even prepare to return to defense. After he had enough arrogance from standing still, he directly found Stockton on the spot. The tactics of pressing the whole court continued!

Although Jordan's lateral speed in the 98 season was not as fast as that of his younger self, and his physical fitness and physical fitness also declined significantly, his defensive experience, skills and intimidation were still among the top in the league, not to mention Lin Tian himself had World-class super speed and nearly inexhaustible physical strength.

Jordan's shortcomings simply don't exist in Lin Tian!

Not to mention that Stockton himself is a guy with mediocre physical fitness, who relies entirely on experience, skills and evil intentions to play.

What he fears most is this type of defender!

His physical fitness is better than his, his experience is not inferior to his, his skills are at the top of the league, and his physical strength and height and wingspan completely crush him.

Facing Lin Tian's defense, if Stockton can play well, then that's a ghost!

Faced with Lin Tian's pressing this time, Stockton didn't dare to relax at all. He didn't even dare to raise his hands and gesture to shout tactics. He could only shout with his voice.

In fact, point guard or other players in other positions raise one hand to shout tactics. This is a trick used by almost everyone in the world's basketball circles.

However, others have not encountered such a perverted and crazy defender as Lin Tian. It only takes a moment for them to raise a hand and shout tactics, and they will not reveal any flaws at all to be intercepted.

But Lin Tian's speed, experience, skills and timing have all reached the top and peak state at this time.

He can seize all those fleeting moments and opportunities!

Just like when Linghu Chong played against Dongfang Bubai, he could see the flaws in Dongfang Bubai's moves, but he couldn't grasp it at all because Dongfang Bubai was too fast!

And now Lin Tian has both the ability of Linghu Chong's "Dugu Nine Swords" to discover flaws and the speed of Dongfang Bubai's "Sunflower Collection" that is at least one level higher than everyone else and is enough to cover up all flaws.

Crush!

It seems that some point guards like to let the basketball roll on the floor for a while, which can temporarily stop the flow of game time, allow teammates to get into position in a leisurely manner, and give themselves some rest time.

This method sounds easy to make mistakes, and it feels like the opponent can intercept the ball with a single leap, but in fact, any point guard who dares to play like this does not have the best reaction ability and speed? They have the confidence to pick up the ball before their opponents pounce, and then launch an attack!

Of course, it's because they haven't met Lin Tian. If they meet Lin Tian tonight, no matter who it is Paul, Lillard, Curry or Harden West, Lin Tian will have the confidence to teach them how to behave. , so that they would never dare to use this very pretentious thing again.

Still the same sentence: crush!

Lin Tian tonight can definitely crush any point guard in NBA history!

These point guards, of course, include Stockton, who has just suffered a serious injury, his physical fitness has further declined, and he has reached the end of his career.

In his memory, when Stockton met the Bulls in this round of the Finals, he only averaged 9+7 per game. Although his shooting percentage of 49% looked good, he only averaged 0.3 points per game. He can hit three-pointers. Secondly, his scores are almost all from layups and fast breaks.

To put it simply, even if the Bulls' defensive focus is on Malone, even if Stockton faces Hubble and Air most of the time, after all, Hubble often goes inside to help defend Malone.

But even so, Stockton doesn't have any scoring ability and can only guide the ball at the top of the key.

His only commendable contribution in the entire finals was probably the key 1-pointer he hit in the last minute of Game 3 that gave the Jazz a 3-point lead and almost pushed the playoffs into a tiebreaker.

Other times?

He can't be called an undercover, but he is really lackluster and a complete role player.

When Stockton met Hubble and Air, his performance was so mediocre, not to mention that Stockton met Lin Tian tonight?

Or is he Lin Tian who has an experience card?

Stockton made no mistakes in this round and carried the ball safely through half the court, but he also failed to organize the team's offense at all. Stockton was guarded by Lin Tian and had no chance to observe the position of his teammates. He could only quickly distribute the ball to Russell.

Russell found Malone as soon as he got the ball, wanting their absolute core to attack one!

The moment Malone got the ball, he didn't even have time to talk trash to Barkley. Christie on the baseline, Lin Tian on the line, and Barkley behind him, the three of them surrounded Malone!

"Oh my God! Three-person double-team! This is the Jazz's first serious offensive round, Malone's first time getting the ball! Were the Pacers so crazy about his double-team from the beginning?"

Regarding the Pacers' crazy defensive choices, Marcus said he couldn't understand them at all.

"It's hard to understand. The Pacers are so confident. Do you believe that others on the Jazz can't hit the ball? With Malone's passing vision, it's hard for their defensive rotation to keep up!" Smith's thoughts and Marcus Likewise, he doesn't understand why the Pacers use this almost all-or-nothing defense.

"There is only one possibility." Marcus said: "The Pacers don't take anyone except Malone seriously! They feel that other people on the Jazz can't score!"

"Maybe except Hornacek, at least Reggie Miller is still pestering him, but facing Miller's defense, I think Hornacek doesn't have many methods." Smith followed: "After all, What Miller is afraid of is the type that is strong in physical confrontation, fast, and has great physical fitness.”

"For a white shooter like Hornacek who is purely technical, Miller has always been able to defend him accurately!"

On the court, Malone, who was double-teamed by three people, was not in a hurry at all. With a quick move towards the top line, the basketball came into Stockton's hands.

"Go to hell, bitches!" Malone scolded fiercely: "John will let you know how stupid your defensive strategy is!"

(End of this chapter)
