NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 304 The King of Alliance Interviews and the Most Shameless! The vicious Lin Tian demolished at least one team in one round!
"Larry, Rick, what are you talking about?" Lin Tian walked to the bench and interrupted the three people's chat. He was not a gossip, but Lin Tian was really curious at the moment.

Because the guy standing in front of Bird and the others was so familiar to Lin Tian that he recognized it at a glance.

It is round and round like a pig's head, and the whole head is round from the face shape to the facial features.

This guy has many nicknames: 'River Document', 'Pig Head', 'King of Reversals', 'The Last Glory of Black Coaches', 'King of Chicken Blood', 'MLM Coach'...

At the same time, he became the head coach of an NBA team for the first time this year, and before the start of the season, mainstream media and actuaries such as TNT and Las Vegas predicted that the league's strength would be outside the 25th, with a high probability of competing for the No. pick. The Magic signed to a bad team made the playoffs and ranked second in the voting for the best coach.

Doc Rivers!
From a coaching perspective, Tianhu made a name for himself in the first year of his career, and has been a head coach in the NBA for more than 20 years. No matter how good his performance is, no matter how he is reversed in the playoffs, A guy who ravages and conquers the superiors, but he can always find a job.

Lin Tian feels that, let’s not mention this guy’s coaching level, but his interview level must be top-notch in the NBA! Even the best in the world!
After all, when a coach has worked on the front line for more than 20 years and has led championship favorites for most of his career, but in the end he only won one championship, and in his playoff journey, almost every failure was reversed.

3次3：1领先被逆转，2次2：0领先被逆转，另外还有4次球队3：2拿到赛点，却被对手连干两场惨遭淘汰的逆转！

As for other things like 2:1, 1:0 being reversed, leading by 50 points in the last 7 seconds and losing the game, there are countless other things. He is almost like a BUFF, with all kinds of weird things. It was incomprehensible that such a devastating reversal could happen to him.

In the NBA's reversal series in the 21st century, Rivers dominates eight games alone! The absolute king of being reversed!

As for the Celtics' 08 lineup, if it were replaced by another first-line coach, not to mention sweeping all the way, at least ordinary teams like the Hawks and Cavaliers that couldn't make it to the Western Conference playoffs, it would definitely be a slippery slope. The son whistled and was easily extinguished.

How vicious!
This old bastard actually arranged for Rivers to come to them!
Judging from what Rivers means, this guy most likely wants to watch a few more games with the Pacers' bench and steal Bird's example.

Extremely self-interested, calm and rational, cold-blooded and ruthless!

What does it mean that one mountain is higher than another?

What could Carlisle do? He could only hold back his laughter, took the camera, and clicked!
Then, Bird didn't dare to stay for a moment and ran away.

"I have something else to do. Let me chat with Doug first while I go get busy." After Bird said that, he turned around and wanted to run away, but Rivers quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Larry , the last thing, let’s take a photo, Lin, you come too, Rick, can I trouble you..."

So this old bastard must be annoying Rivers to death, and he definitely wants Rivers to get out of here.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian suddenly thought of a very vicious thing.

Then he put his arm around Rivers' shoulders, and started chatting with Rivers as if they were two good friends.

Throughout the playoffs, the Celtics defeated the Lakers and saved a little face for themselves.

"Well, that's it! When we get to the finals, I'll do this to Phil Jackson again! Hey, next season, those brats, won't you worship me as Jesus?"

But Rivers is able to reach the tiebreaker.

"Doug, I admire you! I like the kind of people who counterattack from desperate situations and succeed in the end! That's the kind of person I am. I play in a school that has never made it to the top three. I was selected by the team at the end of the second round. Everyone thought that I would be eliminated in the NBA for at most two years, but what was the result?"

With this kind of playoff performance, he can always get one job after another, and each one is better than the last one. If other coaches were replaced like this, the management of those teams would have already rubbed their resumes. Rub it and throw it into the trash can.

Rivers led almost every one of these teams to collapse. Even in 08, the only time he led a team to win the championship, the Celtics' path to advancement was very dangerous.

The Celtics, the Big Three, the Clippers, the city of alley-oops, the 76ers, who claim to be capable of championships but are actually terrible...

Bullshit!
Lin Tian, ​​who was listening to Rivers talking to himself, couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up.

Then...

Because Lin Daguan is also very superstitious sometimes!
He was really worried that if he talked too much with Rivers, the reversed BUFF would be contagious! If Bird and Carlisle were contaminated with something dirty, it would be difficult to clean it up.

It must be stopped!
As soon as Rivers saw Lin Tian coming, he immediately smiled brightly. After his whole face smiled, it became even rounder: "I was asking questions to Coach Larry. He taught me a lot enthusiastically. ! I’m really grateful.”

I really have never seen such a shameless guy, so nakedly following a top-notch handsome man and stealing hard.

Ominous!
But Rivers can!

"He taught me a lot. I also came with them today. I want to learn something more. After all, I am a new head coach. There are too many things to learn. I also want to learn from Coach Larry. Let’s learn and see if there is a chance to become his disciple.”

Well, having said all that, why did Lin Tian come over?

"You slapped everyone in the face! You became the MVP! You are still the scoring and assist leader! You are one of the best stars in the league!" Rivers said this, suddenly came closer and whispered: "In my case, I can get rid of one of them! You are the best, but there are too many people here, so I can't say anything. I don't want to cause a war of words."

Bird was obviously impatient at this time. It was purely because there were too many cameras and fans at the scene. He cared about his image and couldn't just punch Rivers or turn around and leave, so he was patient. Chatting here, and now seeing Lin Tian coming, Bird immediately felt like he had met his savior!
"Lin, Doug has always said that he likes you very much. I hope you can impart some experience to him. How did you become an NBA superstar from the end of the second round? How did you counterattack all the way to become a real MVP? He really wants to "Listen to your experience, and then tell his team your story when you get back."

He was forced into a tiebreaker by the 37-win Hawks, and was forced into a tiebreaker by a 1.0-year-old James who couldn't shoot. It was only in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals that I finally found the feeling. I was not forced into a tiebreaker by the Pistons and Lakers again. But the series against the Pistons was also extremely dangerous. Tianwangshan and Game were both dangerous and had no dominance at all.

"I was with Mr. Pat throughout the second round series. I was sitting behind the Heat bench. I learned a lot from Mr. Pat! He is really a great guy and he didn't answer any of my questions. Don’t be stingy!”

Lin Tian, ​​who was left behind, listened to Rivers muttering to himself: "Next season, take a photo of me, Riley and Bird and tell those kids: I talked and laughed with the top NBA coaches! They Everyone says I have potential, everyone says I can become a top coach and lead the team to win the championship!”

After all, Lin Tianke knows very well who Riley is. Can that old bastard have the time to answer your questions, and can he patiently guide the younger generation to help the newcomers grow up quickly?
This is even more outrageous than Ultraman actually existing on earth!
Riley is the guy who can directly fire Van Gundy when the team is about to win the championship, and then become the head coach to pick peaches. In 05, Van Gundy almost stole all the hairspray in Riley's house. Hair wax!

Sure enough, he saw Riley looking here with a gloating smile on his face. When he looked at Lin Tian, ​​he even blinked, as if he was gloating that I would give you all the trouble.

There is only one Spoelstra, and Lin Tian fully believes that if Riley was 2011 years younger in 10, Spoelstra would have to get out and leave.

Rivers seemed not to know what politeness meant. He took out a camera from his pocket and looked at Carlisle sincerely.

Talkative! Sheniu! It’s cooked! Thick-skinned! Can bullshit! Tell lies without drafting!
With just this sentence, Lin Tian gave a preliminary profile of Rivers' character.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian raised his head and looked towards the Heat.

That’s awesome! What does it mean that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the mountains?

This is the style of the 'divine fortune teller'.

But for such a coach, he always has a job, and every time he works, he is a top team!

Whichever of these two teams advances, he will definitely continue to follow.

Lin Tian always felt that he was shameless and unrestrained, but today he looked at Rivers.

Lin Tian is even worried that Rivers will show his true qualities as the king of interviews and steal the position of the Pacers' next head coach from Carlisle... That would be disgusting.

Seeing Rivers' cautious and humble look, Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh, this guy's acting skills are really good! He is worthy of being the ceiling of a chicken-soup head coach and the king of interviews in the league!

"It's okay, it's not important." Lin Tian said that he was not here to listen to flattery. He quickly brought the topic to the point: "If I remember correctly, the Magic can completely clear out their salary space this summer. Offer three super contracts with maximum salary levels at once?”

"Huh? Yes... there is such a thing, but... but, even I don't have the power to appoint and remove personnel. It doesn't matter who I sign or not, but if you have any friends or brothers, Lin If you need to find a job and want him to join the Magic, don’t worry, I will definitely recommend him!”

When Rivers heard what Lin Tian said, he thought Lin Tian was trying to get someone in here! As a result, the kindness, flattery, and boldness he had just shown immediately disappeared, revealing his cunning, cautious, and cunning side.

Lin Tian knew without guessing that if he really recommended someone to him, it would be fine if he was really capable. If it was pure nepotism and a fringe player, this guy wouldn't say a word for Lin Tian, ​​absolutely not. help!

Of course, Rivers made this choice because Lin Tian's contract still has 4 years left! So there is no need for Rivers to please Lin Tian too much, but what if Lin Tian is in the contract year this year or next year?

Hehe, that’s another story! Everything is negotiable!
But anyway, Lin Tian has seen through this guy Rivers. He is hypocritical and instigating. He laughs at it, but he is actually very calculating!

Duncan deserves it for not choosing you in the summer! There is no pattern at all!
However, Lin Tian and Rivers are on good terms at the moment. He will not directly reveal his dislike for Rivers, but continues: "I don't do that kind of backdoor thing." , I just want to say that there are some players who would like a little privilege!"

"Let me give you an analogy. There is a top free agent who is ready to come to the Magic, but when he is about to sign a contract, he suddenly asks you: Coach, my family sometimes goes to away games with me. They can sit in the same room as me. A flight? What would you say?”

"No! Of course not!" Rivers said righteously: "The rules are the rules, how can you do such a thing? What's more, the team plays more than 50 away games in the playoffs a year. If they are like this, the team How much money is it going to cost a year? What do other players think about this?"

"Confused! Confused, Doug!" Lin Tian patted Rivers on the shoulder with a disappointed look. To be honest, if old-school coaches like Larry Brown or Chuck Daly said this, Lin Tian would be 100 % I believe these old men really think so and really think so.

But you Rivers said that?
If you say that, would Rivers agree?

In another 10 years, who will take advantage of being both the coach and the general manager to offer his son a high salary and give his own son, who is mediocre in ability, a lot of playing time?

Yes, Rivers Jr. finally performed well and can be called a qualified or even excellent rotation player.

But if it weren't for Rivers Sr. being his biological father and praising his own son like a top player, Rivers Jr. would have been eliminated by the league long ago!

Or to put it more bluntly: Rivers Jr. has earned almost 5000 million U.S. dollars in his entire career, of which 3600 million U.S. dollars of contract was opened to him by Rivers Sr.

Is there any corruption here? Is it dirty? Did little Rivers get the contract by sending his own mother to Rivers' bed? check! We must get to the bottom of it!
Hmm... maybe nothing can be found out. Judging from the results, Rivers' contract is not too high. It's not a heinous crime for his own father to make some calculations for his son, go through the back door and give him a favor. matter.

But you want to say that Rivers is a fair and honest person, treats everyone equally, does not allow players on the team to have special privileges, and leads by example?
Then you are definitely talking nonsense!

Lin Tian is sure that Firth is 100% setting up the character here! He just wants everyone in the alliance to think that he is a fair and honest person, and a strict and serious person!

It’s just that, there’s nothing wrong with acting, but if you overact it… then it’s really too much, and you’ll miss some things that you’ll regret just thinking about it in the future!

"Doug, let me give you another example." Lin Tian said earnestly: "Two years ago, the Lakers recruited O'Neal. Do you know how they recruited him?"

"Magic said he had some of the best, most conspicuous and best parking spaces at Staples. As long as O'Neal comes, they are all his. Old Buss said that as long as O'Neal comes, how many of his friends want to come. If you want to watch the game at Staples, you can get as many front-row tickets as you want, or sit with any Hollywood star you want, just ask!”

"West? After O'Neal had agreed to sign the super contract, West spontaneously sent away two players, freeing up space worth almost 1 million US dollars a year, and increased O'Neal's annual salary. 100 million per year, and tell O'Neal: You are very important, we give you so much not because you are worth so much, but because we can only give you so much!"

"I don't need to tell you the rest of the story, right? The Shark traveled west to Los Angeles, and the Lakers completed their reconstruction overnight, gaining a giant and the core of the team for the next ten years!"

"How about Doug, do you understand what I mean? You understand now what these superstars want. I'll ask you again. If a free agent asks you: His relatives want to fly with the team and He goes to the away game together, what should you do?”

After all, Rivers is a smart man. After hearing what Lin Tian said, he immediately understood it!

What the stars want is not a fair and strict head coach, nor a team atmosphere that leads by example and has strict discipline.

What they want is respect! It’s the team’s focus!
Even if the little privilege the team gives them is worthless and not worth mentioning in their world, they still want it!
To a magician, a few parking spaces are nothing! For Buss, Staples tickets are nothing! For West, 100 million a year must be spent. There is a huge difference between spending it on O'Neal and spending it on other players!
For O'Neal, these things are all trivial gadgets that he can easily obtain. But if someone gives them to him on his own initiative, does it feel the same as if he buys them himself?

Rivers nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "No problem at all! If necessary, I can even provide him with an independent cabin so that he can do some happy things!"

Then Rivers clapped his hands excitedly, as if he understood everything, and said happily: "I'm in Orlando, so I have to play to Orlando's strengths! Disney's year-round VIP package is unlimited! He can go with as many people as he wants. Go ahead and take a photo with whichever princess you want!”

"Including Universal Studios and the Space Center! He can go wherever he wants to in Orlando!"

"That's right! Warner Universal is preparing to build a brand new, the world's first 'Harry Potter' theme park! I can let them go there to participate in some groundbreaking ceremonies! It will be tied to the park early! 10 years ahead of schedule Give them a super package so they can play there forever!”

"That's right!" Looking at Rivers, who was very enlightened and had already begun to draw inferences, and who was so excited that he seemed to have opened a new door in life, Lin Tian patted his shoulder happily and said, "Next, let's take a look at you guys. Why are you operating in the offseason? I am optimistic about you! I look forward to meeting you in the Eastern Conference Finals next year!"

Rivers said enthusiastically: "No problem! For those things I just mentioned, I will apply to the team when I get back and let them give you a set first! Lin, you will always be Orlando's friend! Orlando will always welcome you! "

"Then do you know what you should do now?" Lin Tian looked at Rivers and asked again.

"I'm going to call the team now! Ask them to prepare a small gift and bring it to you!" Rivers still looked very polite.

"What do I want with that thing?" Lin Tian smiled evilly, hugged Rivers and turned around, facing the Heat's bench and Riley: "What you have to do now is to continue to improve yourself! Improve yourself Your business ability as a head coach allows you to truly become a top head coach! "Otherwise, even if those superstars come to your team and you fail to lead them, they will be fired by the team in the end!" What’s the use of everything you do? Aren’t all your actions a wedding dress for your successor?”

"Go ahead, Pat is the best and most comprehensive head coach in the league! He can use point guards to build a team to create the most gorgeous offense in the league, and he can also use a center as the core to create the league's most ferocious iron formation! He can He has created a variety of systems and tactical styles! He is the No. 1 player in the league in my opinion!"

"Go and learn from him, so that no matter who your team welcomes this summer, you can quickly create a system that suits them!"

"You're right Lin! What I need to do now is indeed to strengthen myself! Thank you! But I want to learn from Larry even more, because I think Larry is the best..."

"What the heck! What can that old bastard Larry do?" Lin Tian interrupted Rivers impatiently and said, "If he doesn't have me, that's bullshit! Think about it, everything he has now is... What I gave him, if I wasn't in Indiana, would Larry be able to make it to the Eastern Conference finals?"

"It would be great if he can make it to the playoffs! He doesn't have anything in his stomach at all. He is just an old guy who is just looking for fame! You will learn nothing from him!"

Having said this, Lin Tian hugged Rivers and took two more steps in the direction of the Heat, looking left and right.

"I'm in love with you and I think I can chat with you, so I'm telling you this. Don't tell me any rumors, and don't talk nonsense everywhere, you know? If you talk nonsense..."

"I got it! Don't worry, Lin, my mouth is very tight!" Rivers nodded excitedly, and then he saw Riley starting to wave the players closer, obviously about to start arranging tactics, and immediately I was eager to try and want to go there.

"Go! Boosting morale before the game is also a very important lesson for head coaches! Go and learn from Pat!" Lin Tian patted Rivers and finally sent the guy away.

Then, as soon as Lin Tian turned his head, he saw Bird looking at him sideways with an unfriendly expression. Lin Tian, ​​who had always been invulnerable, couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Larry, are you okay? I finally sent that guy away. Did you hear what we were talking about?" Lin Tian shook his head quickly, and then walked to Bird with a smile.

"No, I didn't hear anything about me being a good-for-nothing old bastard." When Bird saw Lin Tian coming over, he snorted and said, "Everything I have now depends on you. I didn’t hear anything about the fact that there was no food in my stomach.”

This old guy is still acting arrogant to me!
Lin Tian rolled his eyes and looked at Bird, who looked unhappy and was deeply involved in the drama, and decided not to spoil him!

So he turned around and shouted: "Doug! Come on, Larry said he wanted to teach you some truth..."

"Stop! Stop! FUXX! You're not done yet!" Bird quickly grabbed Lin Tian. He had just sent this plague god away, and you, Mr. Lin, called him back again?

Just let him torture Riley, don't torture me!

"I'm just an old bastard, I'm just useless!" Bird raised his eyes and looked at Riley, who had a constipated face. When he saw Rivers, his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, and he felt relieved instantly: "Then what, call everyone back! We are ready to compete!"

A few minutes later, Riley, who looked constipated, sat in his seat. Behind him was Rivers, who was full of curiosity and asked questions from time to time, holding a pen and paper.

Riley wanted to whip him, but even more so, she wanted to whip herself!
Why didn't I send this annoying spirit away earlier?
Bird was feeling refreshed at the moment and sat in his seat, waiting for the game to start.

Bird couldn't help but glance at Riley again, and then saw the constipated expression on his old rival's face, and he immediately stretched comfortably.

Even happier!

Today is a good day!

On the court, the ten starting players from both sides have already stood on the court. Neither side has changed their starting lineup. They have adopted the starting lineup they have used throughout the regular season and playoffs!

On the Heat's side, center Alonzo Mourning, power forward Karl Malone, small forward Jamal Mashburn, shooting guard Ruben Patterson, and point guard Gary Payton!
This powerful five-man group, which is extremely fierce and has caused headaches for almost all teams in the league this season, finally faced off against the Pacers!

"This lineup of the Heat is really fierce! Just by looking at their faces, none of these five people is a good person. Anyway, if you ask me to say it, if I don't know them and then meet them head-on on the street, My first reaction was definitely to run away!”

Kenny couldn't help but comment: "Among these five people, this guy Mourning actually seems to be the most kind-hearted! He gives me a sense of security that he is just a robber and does not do other bad things!"

"Hahahaha! You're right Kenny!" Barkley laughed: "Karl Malone is a heinous arms dealer, Gary Payton is a drug dealer who is ready to draw a gun and kill people at any time, and Patterson is like the kind of person who can molest young people. An adult pervert, and Mashburn, his face is committing a crime in front of us!”

"These five guys are really scary! Compared with them, I suddenly feel that the Blazers are like pure and ignorant high school students!"

"Looking at the Pacers, Lin is a Hollywood-level handsome guy. Vince also has a gentle and sunny smile. Doug looks like a bully at first glance. Although Chris is a bit naughty, overall he is great. Handsome guy! As for Ben...well, Ben should be on the Heat's side! His looks don't match the Pacers' style."

Barkley and Kenny happily teased the Heat for their ferocious looks. They were told that they should join the Heat. His appearance might be the most intimidating guy in the game, with an afro that can stretch his height to 210 centimeters, and Mourning stood in the center circle.

"Boy, are you ready to be blown away by me?" Mourning lowered his center of gravity and concentrated on waiting for the jump ball. At the same time, his trash talk had already begun.

"Short, are you ready to average less than 10 rebounds per game in this series?" Ben showed his big white teeth and refused to give in: "You are so much shorter than me, who gave you the courage to beat me?" Mine, Madonna?”

"FUXX!" Mourning scolded: "You have the guts to shave your hair!"

"Then you have the guts to grow your hair! You're so bald!"

"I have hair!"

"You still have an illegitimate child! Oh, I'm sorry Karl, I'm not talking about you. I know you don't have an illegitimate child, not one. As we all know, you are a gentleman who never has an affair and never attacks a woman other than his wife!"

"When did Ben's trash talk improve so much?" Weber muttered, and then naturally looked at Lin Tian who was standing there with a proud and proud look on his face!
"Ben is my first apprentice, Chris." Lin Tian admired Ben's trash talk as if he were appreciating a work of art: "Not only did he watch my trash talk teaching program on Indiana TV three times, he also He asked me for more training in private many times and asked me to teach him how to troll!”

"Looking now, Ben can start training! I'm very happy!"

"A bunch of thugs!" Payton couldn't hold back and sprayed Lin Tian with the words that others had said the most to him in the past.

"Let's sew your gloves first. I'm going to beat your gloves into wrist guards. There are big holes on both sides. I think your gloves are looser than a gay's back door. I can knock the basketball out again and again." Go through there!"

"It's still Lin Hen! He's the teacher after all!" Weber no longer looked at Lin Tian, ​​but turned back to Carter and said: "Vince, don't imitate him! There must be at least one kind person in our team! "

"Dudu!"

While the players were still bickering with each other, the referee blew the whistle and threw the basketball into the sky. Ben and Mourning jumped almost at the same time to fight for the team's first possession of the series. !
"Snapped!"

The two short centers are almost evenly matched in terms of jumping height. In addition to similar heights, the two have the same terrifying power!

When the two of them touched the basketball at the same time, in an instant, both sides of the basketball were under pressure and almost turned into the shape of a football!
In the end, it was Mourning who was more experienced and suddenly exerted his strength and swatted the basketball to Payton!
"Don't worry, be steady! Let's hit one slowly!" After Payton got the ball, he immediately turned around and jammed Lin Tian with his back, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to worry!
He turned his back, dribbled the basketball steadily across the half court, and then passed the ball to Patterson. Patterson hit the ground and passed the ball to Mo Mo, who was crowded with Big Ben in the inside. rather!

After Mourning got the ball, he hit Daben hard!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three consecutive, pure and direct collisions and muffled sounds between muscles, Daben completely withstood Mourning's impact without taking a step back, perfectly maintaining his defensive position.

"Alonzo, work harder! Your strength is not enough to squeeze the gap between my teeth!"

Faced with another trash talk from Ben, Mourning quickly turned around and wiped it towards the bottom line, and then collided with Ben, who was quickly defending in place, with a bang!
Then Mourning turned around again and wanted to continue attacking from the middle, but as soon as he turned around, he found Christie coming!
"Snapped!"

Steady and accurate, Christie hit the basketball that Mourning was about to put away, but Mourning's reaction was really fast enough. He pounced directly, not only knocking Christie away, but also throwing a He held the basketball in his arms, but he had no time to handle the ball because Ben also pounced on it!

Two people were fighting on the ground...

No, they were fighting for each other. The veins on the four arms as thick as ordinary people's thighs were swollen, and the muscles were completely bulging. Each of the two people was holding half a basketball, and they were holding it in their arms as hard as they could.

"Oh! It's wonderful! Everyone is on their backs at the beginning! It's all-out hand-to-hand fighting at the beginning! This is the game that men should watch!" Barkley looked at the two men lying on the floor and said excitedly: "Come on, Ben! Give him a Punch! Don’t be afraid, punch him in the head!”

"Ahem!" Kenny couldn't help but cough again. He had to remind his partner to pay attention to the scale.

The Phillies' complaint in the Eastern Conference semifinals hasn't been settled yet, and now they're offending the Miamians?

This guy, he really doesn’t want to work, right?
"Stop! Stop! Let go immediately! Fight for the ball! Fight for the ball!" The referee blew the whistle loudly and asked these two people to let go of the ball. They were afraid that the first round would turn into a fight on the court.

Then their bonus is in danger again!
Fortunately, neither Ben nor Mourning had any intention of fighting. After hearing the whistle, both of them let go of their hands, but they still looked at each other fiercely, with a fierce expression as if they wanted to kill each other.

"Enough!" Kenny gave his first impression of this game: "This series will definitely test who is the real tough guy on both sides and who is the fake man!"

Both Ben and Mourning looked fierce, standing at both ends of the free throw line, preparing for their second consecutive jump ball.

"beep!"

The whistle blew and the basketball flew into the air again. This time Ben and Mourning were still indistinguishable. The two touched the basketball almost at the same time, but this time it was Ben who had the advantage. He slapped the basketball to Christie. .

After taking the ball, Christie quickly raised his elbows, drove away the eyeing Mashburn next to him, and then gave the ball to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was not in a hurry to advance, because the moment Christie got the ball, the Heat, except Mashburn who was nearby to interfere, quickly returned to their own half-court defense!
Their defensive formation took shape almost instantly. No matter how fast Lin Tian was at this time, he couldn't catch the Heat off guard. And if he really rushed out, it was more likely that he would not make a beautiful offense. , but was surrounded by four members of the Heat team and fell into the encirclement.

"Don't worry, hold on tight, let's fight one by one!"

Lin Tian raised his hand and dribbled the ball leisurely past half court. After he approached the three-point line, Payton rushed up immediately and inserted a leg directly between Lin Tian's legs, blocking the way. Lin Tian accelerated his strength, and at the same time, one hand almost directly hugged Lin Tian's waist, and the other hand was directly placed on Lin Tian's arm.

The defensive intensity of this game can be seen from the first round!
Big Ben risked his life to entangle Mourning, and the Heat also asked Payton to carry out high-pressure and large-scale defense against Lin Tian from the beginning!
At this time, it actually depends on the referee’s choice!
If it were the joke era more than 10 years later, Payton would have definitely gotten his first foul by now.

But now, it's 2000, and the referee didn't even put the whistle in his mouth. It's a small scene, not worth being nervous about!

Lin Tian was also a little irritated by Payton's entanglement. He turned sideways to block Payton and observed the situation on the court. He did not call for a pick-and-roll. In the first round of the game, Lin Tian wanted to score a goal himself!
It’s not grudge or stubbornness, this is purely what every team boss must do in this era!
In a game of this level tonight, the first goal in the opening game cannot be tricky or tricky, it must kill the opponent head-on one-on-one!

This is what Mourning did, and Lin Tian will definitely do the same!
But Mourning failed, what about Lin Tian?

After blocking Payton sideways, Lin Tian suddenly turned around and faced the basket head-on. At the same time, he also took an extra step to the left to slightly distance himself.

Although Payton is over thirty years old, he is not slow at all. With quick lateral movements and delicate and clever steps, he quickly blocks Lin Tian's way.

But Lin Tian immediately dribbled the ball behind his back very quickly, and at the same time, he moved to the right. When Payton moved his center of gravity again, trying to block Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian changed his direction and pulled the basketball away. Go back to the left!

This time, no matter how much Payton claimed to be the number one perimeter defender in the 90s, he still couldn't keep up with Lin Tian! He was knocked out of position by Lin Tian, ​​and he could only chase after Lin Tian with all his life, denying Lin Tian a sufficient chance to handle the ball.

Although Lin Tian passed Payton beautifully, he had just reached the 3-point line when Mashburn and Patterson let go of Christie and Carter at the same time and double-teamed Lin Tian!
"Is there a three-man double-team at the beginning? The Heat really put all their efforts in the beginning and tried to kill Lin! Pat Riley's pre-game preparations are always so adequate!"

Lin Tian, ​​who was double-teamed by three people, hesitated for a moment between choosing Carter or Christie, and then couldn't pass the ball! The three people rushed forward quickly and surrounded Lin Tian, ​​not giving him any space to dribble and handle the ball.

Payton, who was behind him, stabbed Lin Tian's hand directly, regardless of whether it was Lin Tian's hand or the ball. Anyway, the basketball escaped Lin Tian's control and flew out.

Then Mashburn quickly jumped forward, trying to hug the basketball, but Lin Tian's reaction was also extremely fast. He also threw his weight away, jumped forward, and grabbed the ball in front of Mashburn. On the basketball, let the basketball fly in the direction of Christie.

Lin Tian and Mashburn fell to the ground at the same time and fell into a rolling gourd!

At the same time, Lin Tian also brought down Payton who was trying to chase behind him! The three people completely fell into a ball!
The basketball that flew out failed to reach Christie's hands. He and Patterson also rushed together in the blink of an eye. The two refused to give in to each other and fell to the ground together.

In the end, the ball was caught by Carter who flew up from the far end, and then rushed inside with the ball.

"You kid is looking for death!" Mourning spotted the direction and timing of Carter's charge. The humiliation of being dunked by Carter came to his mind. This guy's giant palm shot out and blocked Carter's dunk directly into the free throw. Near the line!
Lin Tiangang, who had just gotten up, wanted to take off and hug the basketball. Mashburn and Payton next to him got entangled with him again. None of the three people could control the basketball and fell to the ground together. The basketball Just rolled all the way back to the backcourt.

Although Christie succeeded in getting the basketball in the end, it was too late. The guy could only throw a helpless buzzer-beater near midfield.

As a result, the basketball failed to hit the backboard and rolled directly out of the baseline.

24 seconds violation!
