NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Because the semi-finals are played after several 5th to 8th place qualifying matches, when China played against Germany, both sides had already had three days of rest, and neither side had any injury problems so far.

It can be said that both teams in this game are in their best form!
It is not an exaggeration to say that this German team is Nowitzki's team. At this point in the game, the German big man is still ranked first in the tournament's average scoring list. He can average more than 29 points and 10 rebounds per game, and is the well-deserved core of the German team!

At the same time, in addition to relying heavily on Nowitzki on offense, Germany's defense is also the best in this tournament! Whether it's against Spain or New Zealand, or against other teams, Germany almost always wins the game by relying on its tough defense!

Simply put, this is a team with a tenacious style, fierce defense, excellent confrontation, and top stars!
In addition to Nowitzki, Germany's small forward Okulaja is the team's organizational and defensive core. He has great experience and a good sense of the overall situation, and also has a good leadership temperament! Most of the time, he shoulders the burden of getting everyone else on the team to pay attention and shouting tactics.

Little Pešić is the team's top scorer on the outside. He inherited his father's toughness and iron-bloodedness and is a big-hearted shooter!

In addition, the team's guard Nika Gerbetz also has good speed and attacking ability. Although the center Garris is average, his skills are very solid. He is a standard European white bear. Whether it is defense or eating cakes, he is very reliable! And the core guard Dimirel also has good strength.

This German team should definitely not be underestimated!

It is worth mentioning that Gasol, the core of the Spanish team that just defeated the United States team and secured the fifth place, was obviously in a good mood at the moment. He appeared on the sidelines and cheered for his teammate Yao Ming on the Nets.

What’s even more surprising is that Kidd, whom George Karl had been looking for the entire summer but couldn’t find, actually appeared next to Gasol!
"Jason, I thought you died in the Arctic. Have you heard? No one can find you." When Lin Tian saw Kidd coming, he smiled and greeted him.

"I'll tell you a secret. I didn't go anywhere. I spent the whole summer in Manhattan! I was super happy. I found the happiness hidden in the darkness of Manhattan! The kind that can make people depraved for a whole summer."

Kidd narrowed his eyes and said with a look of aftertaste: "The most dangerous place is the safest! I don't want to play for George Karl. I have to have a good time this year. But you, Lin, can you worry about the situation of your team?"

"Persuade Vince to come to New Jersey as soon as possible! We have saved the salary space for him for a long time! We need him!"

"I think you're too much, Jason. You actually asked me to persuade my teammates to leave and join the team next door? Why? To make it more difficult for us to win the championship in the new season?"

"But you know, New Jersey is the best place for him! Here we have your buddy Yao, Vince's buddy Al, and me! In this league, besides you, is there anyone better than me who can feed the ball to Vince comfortably?"

"Steve Nash, Andre Miller, Gary Payton, Baron Davis, Ja Williams, Mark Jackson, and"

"And my dear grandma and my long-dead grandpa, right?" Kidd raised his middle finger and said, "Next time you can add those two weaklings Allen and Marbury! They only let us get sixth place! It's ridiculous!"

Lin Tian and Kidd were chatting here, and Yao Ming next door also hugged Gasol.

"Bao, I will avenge you." Dayao's face was once again grinning with a smile on his face.

"No need, I will take revenge myself in next year's European Championship, but I still wish you all the best! I hope you can become champions!" Gasol still looked like a humble and modest boy, and no one knew when he would be able to get hard again.

A few meters away, Dazhi and Nowitzki also stood up and greeted each other: "Dirk, I will definitely beat you tonight!"

"Haha, I'm not interested in whether we can beat you or not. Our whole team will beat your whole team!" Nowitzki smiled and hugged Da Da and said, "Good luck, but not tonight."

The familiar players from both sides chatted for a few words, and then after both sides warmed up, the starting players took to the court again!
In this game, Jiang Xingquan chose to change the lineup! He did not let Dazhi start, but instead brought in Gong Xiaobin, the "King of Freedom" who had a bad relationship with him and was not able to join the team two years ago!

Although Gong Xiaobin's overall strength today is not as good as that of his former younger brother, many people's impression of him is that his playing style is elegant and graceful and his offense is gorgeous and beautiful.

Precisely because of his beautiful offense, many people overlook the desperate spirit he always brings when playing. His ability on the defensive end is also top-notch in the country.

At least in the CBA league, Dazhi, Liu Yudong, Sun Jun and others performed far below their average level when facing his defense!

Jiang Xingquan started Gong Xiaobin at this time, which not only proved that the conflict between the two had disappeared, but also showed that Jiang Xingquan was targeting Nowitzki from the beginning of the game!

His instructions to his players before the game were also very simple: No matter what method you use, Nowitzki's score must not exceed 25 points!
This top scorer who averages nearly 30 points per game must be held down!
In addition, Zhu Fangyu was suspended for two games due to fighting, and he had to wait until the finals to play. The person who replaced him as the starting small forward was his teammate Du Feng of the domestic South China Tigers team.

Game start!
Dayao once again defeated his opponent Garris in the jump ball and won the first wave of ball possession for the Chinese team.

The moment Lin Tian got the ball, the opposing point guard Dimirel quickly came up to him and started a confrontation with Lin Tian right from the start!

After feeling the opponent's strength, Lin Tian finally understood why the German team was able to reach the semi-finals relying on Nowitzki's offense alone.

The opponent Dimirel is very good in height, arm span and strength, and especially has very good enthusiasm. Perhaps this is the characteristic of the Germans: never give up, and persevere!

At the same time, this is not just the characteristic of Dimirel alone. The five players of the entire German team all worked very hard on the defensive end. Their lateral movement speed was very fast. They were definitely the strongest defensive opponent that the Chinese team had encountered since this World Championships!

Lin Tian pushed Dimirel all the way to the frontcourt. After observing for a few seconds, he found that all his teammates were being stared at by the opponents. There was no chance to attack or space to receive the ball. So Lin Tian no longer hesitated, suddenly took a step back to create space, then changed direction and dribbled past Dimirel!

No matter how hard Dimirel tried, he was helpless when faced with an opponent like Lin Tian, ​​whose talent completely crushed him. He could only try his best to continue chasing after Lin Tian.

As soon as Garys in the inside saw Lin Tian coming, he immediately stepped forward and opened his arms, trying to block Lin Tian's attack.

But this guy obviously underestimated Lin Tian's impact force and overestimated his own weight as a 'white bear'.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound, and Garris was extremely surprised to find that he could not stand at all. Instead, he lost his balance and fell backwards.

As for Lin Tian, ​​it was as if there was no collision at all. After knocking Garris away, his upward trend did not stop at all. After he climbed to a height where his head was almost level with the basket, Lin Tian suddenly smashed down with one hand!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian succeeded in a one-arm dunk!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"Lin! Our king!"

"Kill these Germans and avenge the American team!"

“But they didn’t beat us?”

"They are the same as the Spanish! They are all the same!"

"But they just killed Spain!"

"Nonsense! If they hadn't killed the Spaniards, would we have lost the 5-6 qualifying match? It's all their fault for winning! Kill them! Revenge!"

Well, he is confused by the fans’ logic!
But this does not prevent Lin Tian from doing so. As long as he is in Indiana, this will always be his home court!

After a dunk ignited the atmosphere of the entire stadium, Lin Tian became unstoppable on the offensive end!
He changed his approach in the previous few games of first organizing his teammates to attack and then taking action to end the game. From the beginning of the game, he used his extremely powerful firepower and bombarded the German team's position!
Mid-range jump shot, 3-point shot after pick-and-roll, break through to the basket and force a layup or dunk
In the first 4 minutes of the game, Lin Tian hardly passed the ball, but kept attacking alone and constantly attacking the German team's position!

He also scored 4 points in a row within these 13 minutes. Apart from him, only Yao Ming scored 2 points through frontcourt rebounds in the entire Chinese team.

The defense that the German team was proud of was shattered by Lin Tian!
They really can't stand this monster who is only in the reasonable offensive area after half-court, is good at all scoring methods and has both speed and strength.

Unable to defend! At the very least, relying on Dimirel's close defense and Garris's assist in the interior defense is far from enough!
Fortunately, on the German team, although Nowitzki couldn't find his rhythm against Gong Xiaobin and only scored 3 points with 1 of 2 shots, Pešić and Okulaja took over the team's offense at this time.

These two players scored 11 points together by shooting from inside and outside. In addition to Nowitzki's own 2 points, the German team was only 2 points behind the crazy Lin Tian.

However, this is obviously temporary!

Because after the first timeout, the German team took the lead in changing their defense, from the previous man-to-man defense to a 2-3 zone defense. This is the most effective defensive formation against the opponent's high scorers, especially for those guys who are good at breaking through!

But the method of breaking the double team defense is actually no secret.

There are two ways. Either you shoot more three-pointers to take advantage of the fact that the double-team defense cannot expand and has insufficient defense against shooters outside the three-point line, or you put a center who can assist in passing the ball near the free throw line and let this center act as the axis to pass the ball and organize to break through the opponent's double-team defense.

In the quarterfinals, Spain used Gasol as the axis to organize the team's offense, but their offense failed to get off the ground and they lost the game!

Today, Lin Tian chose another path!
Seeing that the German team set up a double team defense, Lin Tian stopped two steps outside the three-point line in his first offensive round. Just when Dimirel had no idea what Lin Tian was going to do, this guy had already thrown the three-pointer!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian yelled at the German team on the opposite side: "Using a double team defense against me? Have you never lost before?"

Unfortunately, except for Nowitzki, all the other German players on the opposing team looked calm, as if they didn't hear these words at all. They were very cool.

FUXX!

Forget the language barrier.

Among this bunch of German guys, not a single one loves to study!
Can’t you even understand such basic English?
Who says that only sports students in our great China don’t study?
German sports students are not even good at studying!
"Dirk, please translate for me! Otherwise, if I really beat you guys up, it will be too late to change your defense!"

“How about I teach you to speak German?” Nowitzki grinned and said to Lin Tian: “Otherwise, just bear with it!”

The language barrier is also one of the advantages of the German team tonight!

They couldn't understand Lin Tian's trash talk. Lin Tian's psychological offensive and sonic attacks had no effect on them!

But for Lin Tian, ​​not understanding is obviously not a problem!
He also has an internationally accepted version of China's special plastic English!

There are not many people in this world who can understand authentic English, but Lin Tian is confident about the following bulk English!
I won’t say 100%, but at least most people in the world can understand this, except for those in extremely poor and remote areas!

"Hale!" When Lin Tian dribbled the ball to the front court again, he stretched out his hand and pointed at a piece of floor two steps outside the 3-point line: "Short!"

After saying that, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, then pulled up and shot!
"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, Lin Tian pointed at Dimirel on the opposite side and said, "FUXX!"

Otherwise, you would say that language is so charming, so magical, and so malleable!
Just now, the opponent couldn't understand the authentic English, but this time, Lin Tian used three words and two actions, hehe... Dimirel on the opposite side was obviously anxious!
After talking a lot and noticing that Lin Tian was looking at him innocently, Dimirel looked at Lin Tian and held his breath for a long time. Finally, he could only say to Lin Tian softly: "Agen!"

Agen?

One more time, huh?
Satisfy you!
30 seconds later, Lin Tian dribbled to the frontcourt again, and everything was the same as before.

Pointing at the floor "Hale! Shot!"

Then he made two consecutive changes of direction dribbles and stepped back to create space, and then shot directly!

"Shh!"

"FUXX!" A set of three consecutive words, very polite!

Then, this time Lin Tian added another sentence: "Kang Mang!"

A short word, like the Chinese word "wocao", can express different meanings through the four basic variations of "wocao", "ohcao", "wocao" and "wucao". At the same time, the following "cao" can be combined into multiple completely different meanings according to different tones.

The Chinese language is profound and extensive.

The word "kangmang" in English can also do the same thing.

For example, Lin Tian’s Kang Mang, to Dimirel, could be expanded into a short essay, but if it is condensed, it would be: “You rubbish, soft-assed rookie, I’ve listened to you and come here two times, if you have the guts, come here one too! FUXX!”

Look, what a wonderful language!

So, this time, Dimirel finally took the bait!

This guy actually pointed at the floor and said, "Hale!"

Then, when he just received the ball and wanted to say "Shot", Lin Tian's quick hand had already taken the shot.

"Snapped!"

A sound that couldn't be any clearer was heard, and the basketball had been cut away from Dimirel's hands by Lin Tian, ​​who dribbled the ball to initiate a fast break.

How could the German team's defense catch up with Lin Tian at this time? Everyone could do nothing except watching Lin Tian perform a 1° slam dunk in the frontcourt 0 vs 360!
It's so fast!
After this steal and fast break, Lin Tian turned around and ran back easily. Then, Lin Tian, ​​who was unable to communicate with Dimirel verbally, completely gave up on language.

He used a very simple, truly international particle.

"Humph!"

Tips: When making this sound, pay attention to making the voice light, with a faint expression and a heavy nasal tone. It is best to use the sound of breathing out of your nose alone. Your eyes should be as far away as possible, and if possible, don't even show your chin to the other person.

As long as the opponent has a bit of temper and has just been humiliated by you, this move will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one move and make him get angry in one second!
You have to know that on this huge planet, there are more than 200 countries and regions in the world, and even raising the middle finger may mean hello or awesome in some countries.

But this sound of "hum" is absolutely universal and is absolutely a must-have remedy to make people get high!
Sure enough, in the next round, Dimirel completely lost his temper. He showed off his dribbling skills to Lin Tian continuously, then suddenly lowered his body and accelerated, trying to force his way past Lin Tian!

But unfortunately, the speed gap between the two was too big. Not only was Lin Tian not left behind by him, but he followed this guy closely all the way. The two arrived at the inside line almost at the same time. Dimirel, who was already excited, didn't care at all that Lin Tian was not left behind by him.

The German's stubbornness was clearly revealed in him. This guy hit Lin Tian hard with his shoulder, then stepped back and wanted to end the fight with a shot.

But where is the inside line of the Huaxia team?
Yao Ming and the two giants who just came on the court were there, plus Lin Tian, ​​a guy with a height and wingspan who was no different from a monster when fighting against the back line. These three people reached out to block Dimir at the same time, and then leaned back?
Even if he does a backflip, he still has to hit the ground one by one!

"Snapped!"

In the end, Yao Ming, who was the tallest, touched the basketball first and slapped the ball into Lin Tian’s arms. After Lin Tian got the basketball, he immediately accelerated and charged forward, launching a counterattack again!

This time, Germany's defense was in place. They retreated very quickly and completed the arrangement of the defensive formation in the blink of an eye.

But Lin Tian really turned a blind eye to this defensive formation that had already been arranged!

He changed direction and turned around outside the three-point line to dribble past Pešić, then took two steps towards the mid-range and just threw it!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian made another mid-range shot!
After this shot, Lin Tian had scored a terrifying 26 points in a row in the first quarter!

In the entire Chinese team, apart from Lin Tian, ​​only Yao Ming has scored two points so far, and the rest of the team have not scored a single point!
As for the German team, they were also a little out of power at this moment. Facing Lin Tian's personal offensive frenzy, they were more or less unable to withstand it. During this period, they only scored two goals in total and got 4 points!
At this moment, the score between the two sides has reached 17:28!

The Chinese team's lead has reached double digits. At this time, the German team's head coach could only helplessly call for a timeout again!
He was very clear about the abilities of a star player of Lin Tian's level, and he understood very well that if he didn't call a timeout, the game might be ruined in the first quarter!

It has to be rearranged.

After the timeout, Dimirel, who had just gotten angry, was replaced by the head coach and the calmer defender Nikagbets.

"They're gone so soon. I was hoping to completely defeat them with this wave." Lin Tian sighed. He was a little disappointed with the quick reaction of the German coach.

However, he soon discovered that although the German team replaced the top defender, their defense also changed!

Nowitzki finally scored roughly 2 points with a strong shot in the low post. After stabilizing the situation for the team, Lin Tian discovered that the German team's defense had turned into man-to-man defense again!
And this time, it’s not just a simple man-to-man fight.

Double team in advance!

Lin Tian just dribbled the ball to the three-point line when Pešić and Niká Gebets, who had just come on the court, double-teamed him!

Double team in advance!

Yeah!

This is what you've been waiting for!

The reason why Lin Tian attacked so fiercely today was not only because the German team's defense was too fierce and his teammates might find it difficult to guarantee the success rate, but also because he wanted to change the German team's defense!

As long as the German team double-teams, there will definitely be loopholes in their defense!

As long as there is a loophole, Lin Tian has the confidence to seize it!
From man-to-man defense to double-team defense, the German team had no way to deal with Lin Tian. He scored 26 points in less than a quarter, so they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

We can only double-team!
When he saw the double-team, Lin Tian not only did not show any sign of nervousness or anxiety, but he dribbled the ball and took two steps back. One was to create enough space for himself to make moves and break through, and the other was to keep the two guys away from their teammates and other players of the Huaxia team.

Don't let them get back on defense!

After taking two steps back, Lin Tian suddenly started moving, dribbling in a change of direction to shake the center of gravity of the two people, and then suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, while jumping sideways, and in the blink of an eye he escaped from the double-team. Then Lin Tian continued to rush to the basket, and after attracting Nowitzki's defense again, the German team's defensive formation was completely messed up!

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking through the air passed by Nowitzki's ears, and the basketball disappeared into Lin Tian's hand at the same time. When Nowitzki hurriedly turned back to look for the ball, he found that his teammates had roughly retreated from the three-point line. Then after taking a look, he decisively took the three-point shot!

"Shh!"

There was another sound of Cuixiang, and the Chinese team continued to score!
In the entire first quarter, Lin Tian only scored 2 points, which prevented him from completing the feat of scoring 30+ points in a single quarter.

Although his personal score was fixed at 28 points, Lin Tian made 3 assists in a row at the end of the first quarter! This does not include several open balls that were not directly assisted by him, but were easily guided by his teammates after he mobilized the German team's lineup!

In the first quarter, the Huaxia team went completely crazy with shooting!
The first half was Lin Tian, ​​while the second half was dominated by Yao Ming, Hu Weidong, Du Feng and others!
In this quarter, the Chinese team's shooting percentage was a terrifying 76.1%, and their 3-point shooting percentage reached an exaggerated 100%!

他们这一节比赛，21投16中，3分球7投7中，罚球4罚4中，单节狂轰43分！
Facing the sudden outburst and unparalleled firepower of the Chinese team, even though the German team had world-class scoring expert Nowitzki and strong players like Pesic, they were completely unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese team!
In this quarter, the German team's offense was quite satisfactory and they scored 21 points.

But facing the crazy Chinese team, 21 points are definitely not enough!
Otherwise they wouldn't have fallen behind by 22 points in a single quarter!

During the intermission, the head coach of the German team felt so worried that his head was about to explode.

How to do?
What should I do?
Man-to-man or zone defense? Double-team or let Lin Tian score freely?
Should we bet on Lin Tian's touch or his teammates' touch? With so many cups of poison, which one should we drink?

In other words, with so many poisons, which one should you not drink?
too difficult!
What is even more difficult for the German head coach is that the break between periods is only two minutes instead of half an hour. He has no time to think of a strategy before his players have to go on the court and continue fighting!

He had no choice but to let Nowitzki and Pesic, two absolute main players, continue to play, and hope that the two of them could pull back some points while the main players of the Huaxia team were absent!
But unfortunately, at the beginning of the second quarter, he saw Lin Tian and Yao Ming were both on the court. In addition to replacing Gong Xiaobin, the remaining Du Feng and Hu Weidong were also the team's starters tonight!

The Huaxia team didn't rotate at all! They just used their main players to continue the fight!
Before going on the court, Jiang Xingquan gave his disciples a very simple instruction: "In the first half of the game, beat them thoroughly! In the second half, let's have a good rest!"

Yes, the Chinese team wants to achieve their goal in one battle. They want to take advantage of their good touch and condition to directly defeat Germany!
At the same time, another change made by the Huaxia team is defense!
The defense against Nowitzki was effective in the first half of the first quarter, but Gong Xiaobin, who was hit several times by Nowitzki at the end of the quarter, was temporarily replaced. At the same time, Jiang Xingquan did not let Dazhi, who was not good at defense, match up with his teammates. He gave the task of defending Nowitzki to Lin Tian!

This is the opportunity that Lin Tian got by volunteering!
"Coach, Nowitzki is great, but his lower body and strength are not good. He currently doesn't have a good way to deal with the close defense of smaller players below his waist! I am confident that I can kill him!"

Just this one sentence made Jiang Xingquan agree with Lin Tian and let him go against Nowitzki!
trust!

Then, when Nowitzki wanted the ball in the low post again, he found that Lin Tian's center of gravity was extremely low, and he was sticking very closely to him!

This made Nowitzki unable to bend down, let alone exert any force!

Not to mention Nowitzki this year, even if Nowitzki won the MVP five years later, facing the Warriors' Harrington, Jackson and others who used this method of lowering the center of gravity to defend him, he was powerless and could only gamble on his touch in the middle and long distances.

Lin Tian's move just hit Nowitzki's soft spot!

Who can blame him for his current lack of strength and ability to deal with things with force?
After being targeted by Lin Tian, ​​Nowitzki failed to get the ball in the low post for several rounds in a row. The place where he got the ball was forced by Lin Tian to be very far away from the basket, and he was always hovering around the three-point line.

Nowitzki had no choice but to try his luck in this area.

But unfortunately, his touch was not very good tonight. His first three mid-range and long-range shots in the second quarter all slipped out of the rim!

Nowitzki's choice made the coach off the court so angry that he yelled and repeatedly asked Nowitzki to go inside and play harder!
Then, Nowitzki really tried his best this time, going to the low post, forcibly blocking Lin Tian, ​​confronting him, and then reaching out to get the position.

But Lin Tian's strength was too great, and his legs were very cunning and stuck tightly between Nowitzki's legs, making it impossible for him to exert any strength!
After a confrontation between the two, Nowitzki found that he couldn't get in at all! In desperation, he could only use his height advantage to gamble on his touch, and he pulled up and did another signature Golden Rooster Stand!

But the same thing goes, his touch was bad tonight, and the confrontation with Lin Tian just now was quite fierce, so fierce that his legs were a little weak now!
So even though Lin Tian didn't press too hard on this ball because of Nowitzki's outstretched legs, Nowitzki's shot was still outrageous.

The basketball didn't even touch the basket, it went straight from under the basket, brushing along the net to the other side and was caught by someone!
On the German team, Nowitzki himself failed to score four consecutive attacks, and the attacks by others also had little effect.

In the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, the German team scored a total of 3 points!
The Huaxia team, under the leadership of the team leader, played very hard on defense, and they were in great form and had a great touch tonight!
Within 4 minutes, the Huaxia team once again launched a 15:3 offensive climax!
This time, Lin Tian didn't get even one point! In terms of technical statistics, he didn't get any increase except one rebound and one assist.

In this wave of offense, the Chinese team relied on the outburst of Hu Weidong. The veteran seemed to have regained the peak form of his youth tonight. In the second quarter, he made 5 of 5 shots from inside and outside in a short period of time and scored 11 points in a row!
But anyone who watched the game would know that it was Lin Tian's perfect defense against Nowitzki that allowed the Chinese team to completely curb the German team's counterattack and boosted the enthusiasm and ruthlessness of the entire team, which led to the successful expansion of the score!

58: 24!

Less than halfway through the second quarter, the gap between the two sides had already widened!
At this point in the game, the suspense is basically gone! (End of this chapter)
