NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

At 10 p.m. on October 30, after being silent for almost two months, the Conseco Center was finally bustling with people again. Countless fans gathered inside and outside the arena early in the morning. The fans inside the stadium roared wildly and shouted the players' names.

The fans outside the stadium were equally loud, their voices could even be heard inside the stadium. The entire Conseco Center seemed to have experienced an earthquake, the entire floor was shaking, and the air was filled with noise.

Today is a special day!
Although the Pacers have come to this same date three times in the past four years, this year is a little different.

The fourth championship flag in the team’s history and the third flag of three consecutive championships will be raised tonight!

A true dynasty!

A dynasty that is completely impeccable and completely beyond question was born!

This evening, the Indians were destined to be so excited that they couldn't sleep the whole night.

Unlike the fans who were celebrating wildly, there was a group of people in the stadium who were in a very bad state at the moment.

How to describe it?
Trembling, uneasy, terrified, and in agony!
The Pacers' opponent tonight is the Washington Wizards!
I have to say, David Stern knows how to do things.

After learning that Jordan joined the Pacers, he quickly redesigned the schedule and changed the time of some important games.

For example, the Pacers were originally going to play a strong team that they had eliminated last year in their opening game in order to increase hype and attention.

The original schedule was set up for the Nets to play against the Pacers!
Reunion of old and new teammates, China Derby, Eastern Conference Finals preview, head-to-head showdown of the strongest point guards
All kinds of gimmicks will definitely make the ratings of this game skyrocket!

But when he learned that Jordan was going to join the Pacers, Stern had almost no hesitation and directly selected the two opposing teams for the opening game.

Wizards VS Pacers!
In addition to the gimmicks of trying to get Jordan to fight against his former team and see how Jordan would retaliate against the Washington people who had tricked him, the most important reason for this arrangement was that Stern was also very unhappy with Pollin.

Who is Jordan?

They are my dearest relatives, friends, brothers and sisters!
If you play tricks on him, you are playing tricks on me!

I can't stand it!

The more important reason is that it would be fine if you just fooled Jordan, but you didn't bring the expected benefits to the league, which was beyond Stern's bottom line.

You can touch my loved ones, relatives, friends, brothers and sisters, but you have to pay extra!

But what Bolin did now was not only to move the person, but also to refuse to pay.

If I don't deal with you, who else should I, Stern, deal with?
Let the Pacers teach you, Washington, how to behave!

Anyone who has watched the NBA knows what kind of person Jordan is, and knows that he is vindictive, petty, and extremely competitive.

And now, there is also the sinister Lin Tian and a bunch of Indians who like to watch the fun and are not afraid of trouble.

To face them? Who knows if you can walk off the field alive!

This is the biggest reason why the entire Wizards team is so scared right now.

They didn't even have to look at Jordan, who was chewing gum with a gloomy face, or have any other communication with him. They could clearly know and feel: they were dead tonight!
The one who is most worried is undoubtedly Stackhouse.

This guy is equivalent to driving away Jordan's younger brother Hamilton, and he plays the No. 2 position. Unfortunately, a bunch of media published a lot of provocative articles during the offseason.

"Washington finds Jordan's replacement!"

"Two generations of North Carolina players complete the handover in Washington!"

"Jordan and Stackhouse, the different situations of two generations of flying men!"

"Once averaging 29.8 points per game, can Stackhouse take over Jordan's torch?"

"Youth is an advantage! Stackhouse vows to lead the team into the playoffs in the new season!"

"Goal is to surpass Jordan? Stackhouse said the team will be better than last season!"

When Stackhouse read these news headlines, he didn't feel even the slightest bit of satisfaction.

He just wanted to go to the newspapers that published these newspapers or magazines, set fire to them, and burn all these damn bastards to death.

Damn, this is basically putting yourself on the fire!

Stackhouse is innocent!
God knows, when have I, Stackhouse, ever done or thought of these things?

He was traded from Detroit to Washington. If Washington doesn’t renew Hamilton’s contract, it’s none of my business!

I'm just an ordinary All-Star on the fringe, why are you messing with me?

Among other things, a reporter asked Stackhouse on media day what the team's goals were for the new season.

What can Stackhouse say?
"Our goal is the lottery. We will never be able to surpass last season's record. We lost Richard and Michael. We will have a terrible season and will go straight to the bottom!"

Isn’t this bullshit!

Which player would answer a reporter's question like this!
But such a simple question and answer turned into: I think I can surpass Jordan?
Just fucking it!

FUXX!

Of course, if it was just Jordan, and Jordan went to an ordinary bad team, Stackhouse would not be so scared. After all, he was a scorer who averaged 20+ points per game for many years. He would not be without some backbone and confidence.

But Jordan Garintian?
To be honest, Stackhouse wants to rest.

At least rest tonight
But the coach didn't agree.

Are you kidding? How can someone be rested directly in the first game of a new season when they are healthy?
What? Are you scared?
You are afraid of me, but I am even more afraid!

God knows how these petty guys will beat us. What if we lose by 50 points without Stackhouse on the field?
If you play, we will consider it a win if we lose by 30 points. As long as we don’t suffer an epic defeat that will go down in history, it will be considered a success!
Must go!
how to say?

If Lin Tian or Jordan knew what Stackhouse and head coach Doug Collins were thinking, they would definitely laugh with disdain.

30 points? 50 points? You two are really good at cursing!

Okay, that’s how you curse, right?
Beat! Beat him to death today!
It won’t be over until the NBA record is broken!
After the pre-game flag-raising ceremony and championship ring award ceremony were over, the Pacers players gathered together again.

Team leader Lin Tian gave a pre-match speech as usual.

"I don't think I need to say more about what this game means! Michael has never experienced such a painful moment in his life! He drank to drown his sorrows, he cried alone, he woke up in the middle of the night countless times with tears in his eyes, just because he was unwilling to give up!"

"he"

"Damn him!" Jordan raised his leg and kicked Lin Tian on the buttocks, saying, "I never cried, and I didn't drink to drown my sorrows! But what Lin said is right, I am very upset! I am very angry!"

Miller poked his head out at the right moment and said, "Yes, Michael is very angry. This is the second most painful and angry moment in his life! The last time was when they lost to us in the Eastern Conference Finals in 98."

"Can you please get out of here?" Jordan glared and said, "Players' meeting, all irrelevant people, get out of here!"

"Practice 500 more three-pointers with me after the game! I can't deal with you?" Miller snorted, once again proving the real reason why he changed his job to coach. However, he did not continue to hang around here. After saying this, he left quickly. As Jordan said, the players' meeting did not need the participation of former players like him.

"Anyway," Lin Tian continued, "Washington people are very annoying! We have to teach them a lesson! We have to let them know how angry Michael is! Kwame Brown said bad things about Michael, we have to teach him a lesson too! We have to let him know that he didn't become the No. 1 pick because of how great he is."

"It's simply because Michael is blind!"

"Are you done yet?" Jordan didn't want to play basketball anymore.

Are you here to boost morale or to expose others' shortcomings?
"In short, let's kill those Washingtonians! We'll make them tremble with fear, and when they see us in the future, they'll have to bow and call us daddy, and then run away quickly! Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Then, one last word!" Lin Tian looked at his teammates who were united and ready to beat the other team to vent Jordan's anger, and continued: "The record for the biggest loss in the history of the NBA regular season was the game in 1991 when the Cavaliers defeated the Heat."

"That night, the Cavaliers won by 68 points! Today, I hope we can help our good friends the Heat and get them down from that extremely shameful place, even if it's just from first to second?"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand!"

"Then go!"

At Lin Tian's command, the Pacers players shouted in unison.

Then the five starters walked onto the court while the rest of the players sat on the bench.

This night is destined to be a massacre!

Because of the departure of Carter, the retirement of Miller, the joining of Jordan and the decline of Christie in recent years, Carlisle has been experimenting with new starting lineups since training camp.

Including several preseason games played by the Pacers, the team has had multiple different starting lineups.

In the first game of the regular season, Carlisle finally brought out the starting five that he thought was the strongest and most suitable for the current Pacers team!

Center: Ben Wallace.

Power forward: Chris Webber.

Small forward: Michael Jordan.

Shooting guard: Gilbert Arenas.

Point guard: Lin Tian.

A team of five people who are not tall, some are even short, but their offensive firepower is absolutely exaggerated.

There is no need to say much about Jordan and Lin Tian. After the training last season, Arenas has already proved to everyone that he has the potential to become a top offensive player in the league.

What is more important is that he always dares to shoot. The scene of him stealing the ball from Lin Tian last season has long become one of the most classic clips of last season and has become a topic of conversation for everyone.

The three musketeers on the outside plus Webber, the offensive firepower of these four people is definitely enough to dominate the entire league!

Carlisle is all about offense this season!
He will maximize the team's offensive capabilities! If it weren't for the team's defensive bottom line and rebounds so that the team can counterattack, this guy might even replace Big Ben with Brad Miller, who is better at passing and assisting.

The Pacers' games this season will definitely be more exciting!
The Wizards' starting players also walked onto the court with the Pacers players.

Kwame Brown continues to serve as the starting center, Stackhouse and Dream Team member Laettner work together on the front line, and Tyronn Lue and guard Larry Hughes, who was purchased by the team during the offseason, are in the backcourt.

"Jerry, my good junior, you really dare to play against me. I thought you would be scared away by me." Jordan chewed gum and shouted to Stackhouse: "Do you need diapers? I can give you a few to avoid embarrassing you."

"I'm not afraid of you, Michael! I'm not afraid of you!" Stackhouse's response was powerless. It was obvious that he was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, without any deterrent effect at all.

"What about me? You are not afraid of him, but are you afraid of me?" Lin Tian came over.

"Your opponent is me! Lin, your opponent is me!" Tyronn Lue stood there, with his short stature, rebellious ditch hair style and bulldog-like eyes, he looked like a mini-Iverson.

Unfortunately, they only look alike. Apart from the appearance, Coach Lu has nothing in common with Iverson. He only wore the skin, but didn't spend money to buy the ability.

Not worth mentioning!
While Lin Tian and Jordan were besieging Stackhouse, Brown on the other side said nothing and didn't dare to come over here, not even daring to look in this direction. This guy continued to act like a coward. Of course, he had to stay away from this Shura scene!

However, sometimes, staying away does not mean that everything will be fine.

Brown will definitely have a nightmare night tonight!
"Dudu!"

The referee's whistle saved the Wizards, whose aura was completely suppressed by Lin Tian and Jordan. Brown quickly bent his knees, looking like he had been waiting for this jump ball for 10 years. He was so impatient!
"Shh!"

The basketball was thrown into the air, Brown jumped up quickly and passed the basketball to Lu, who dribbled to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Stackhouse.

Stackhouse bent over and held the ball, facing Jordan, and he was a little trembling at this moment.

Can I handle a visibly angry Jordan?

2 seconds later, Stackhouse discovered: Yes!
He underestimated himself, or rather, he overestimated Jordan, who would be 3 years old in three months!
Jordan's legs were indeed slow. Facing Stackhouse's forced acceleration and breakthrough, Jordan really couldn't keep up. He could only watch Stackhouse rush over, and then pull up and make a quick stop jump shot!

2: 0!

Hiss. It seems not that difficult?

After Stackhouse scored this goal, the courage that he had just lost slowly returned.

On the defensive end, he tried to stand in front of Jordan with his arms open, trying to defend against Jordan's offense.

In this grudge match tonight, Lin Tian certainly won't be in a hurry to steal the show. The ball must be given to Jordan first!

Let Jordan have a good time and take revenge first!
But after giving the ball to Jordan, Lin Tian couldn't help but frown.

No, something is wrong!
Why was Jordan's game so difficult? Facing Stackhouse, who was trying his best to get back some ground, Jordan was actually forced into a state of embarrassment. Then he couldn't even get space, and his fadeaway jumper was blocked directly in the face by Stackhouse!

"Boom!"

Then there was a dull thud, and Jordan's first attack missed.

"Yes! I can! I definitely can!" After Stackhouse defended the next ball, his confidence continued to surge. On the offensive end, this guy asked for the ball again and once again chose to force a breakthrough. After passing Jordan cleanly in one step, he played more aggressively this time and went straight into the inside!

Facing Big Ben's help defense, Stackhouse did not force an attack, but instead passed the ball to Brown who was let go on the other side.

"boom!"

After a muffled sound, Brown made a dunk and added 2 points for the team!
However, compared with Stackhouse's pride after passing the ball, Brown was much more restrained. He didn't even dare to raise his hands, cheer, or roar to celebrate.

4: 0!

The Wizards played very well at the start and took the lead over the Pacers.

And this was not the end. In the next few minutes, the Wizards continued to control the situation on the court. Stackhouse and Hughes scored one after another, playing like a duck in water! The Pacers' perimeter defense is really a bit poor!
Jordan has passed his peak, Arenas is too rough, and Webber is also a sieve-level defender. With only these three people on the court, it would be too late for Lin Tian and Big Ben to help them with defense and clean up their mess.

This is also the hidden danger of this lineup: once the offense fails, it will be immediately defeated by the opponent's attack!

13: 4!

Five minutes into the game, both teams entered their first timeout. Carlisle, who was trailing by nine points, called the timeout because he found that the team was playing completely different from what he wanted! He had to make some changes!

And in these 5 minutes of the game, the Wizards players all performed well, and their self-confidence grew as the game progressed!
What defending champion, what the strongest championship backcourt in history, is that all!

前5分钟，奇才队领先9分，斯塔克豪斯5投3中拿下6分1助攻，休斯和布朗两人各拿2分，另外卢也命中一个3分!
As for the Pacers, it was mainly because Jordan had a bad touch. He also took 5 shots, but only made 5 of 1. Apart from Jordan, only Lin Tian scored 2 points, but Lin Tian's shooting percentage tonight was only 3 of 1.

Simply put, the Pacers played terribly in the first five minutes!

"I think Michael wanted to prove himself too much, and the rest of the Pacers wanted to help Jordan prove himself too much, so they played so badly tonight." In the TNT studio, Barkley and Kenny had already begun analyzing the first four minutes of the game.

Kenny followed up, "Everyone knows Michael's character, and everyone knows how strong the Pacers are and how weak the Wizards are! So I believe many people have thoughts about the outcome and process of this game."

"The reason why everyone came to watch this game, besides watching the Pacers hang up a new championship banner, was to see how many points the Wizards could lose! Everyone came to watch the Wizards get beaten! But to be honest, these few minutes of the game were really beyond our imagination."

"Charles, how do you think this game will go?"

"What's next?" Barkley shrugged and said, "Just like you said, everyone knows Lin and Michael, and they all know how strong the Pacers are. After this timeout, I think they will make some adjustments."

"For example, replace Christie to strengthen the defense, or let Lin take the lead in attacking, so that Michael can find his feeling again. After all, even if he wants revenge, Michael is almost 40 years old. His age does not allow him to continue to be so crazy and fire at any time and anywhere!"

"He has to accept that there are nights when he is not strong enough and that there are nights when he can't find his form and can only help the team with his passing and experience rather than scoring."

"People have to accept their age! I guess Coach Carlisle will make the same arrangement and shift the main attack point to help Michael find his feeling."

I have to say, Barkley understands basketball!

Because Carlisle did exactly that next.

But.
"No need." The one who objected was Lin Tian: "Coach, please give Michael another 3 minutes. I believe he will be able to find his feeling and teach Stackhouse a lesson! He is Michael Jordan. He is just old and his legs are not flexible enough."

"But it's not to the point where Stackhouse will bully me."

"Michael?" After hearing Lin Tian's words, Carlisle looked at Jordan, waiting for him to speak.

"Lin is right! I'm just old, but I still have plenty of energy! Next, I will definitely kill Stackhouse! I will beat him to death!" Jordan nodded without hesitation. His self-confidence never changes. No matter he is 29 or 39 years old, he has this confidence!
But can he do it this time?
Of course!

Because Lin Tian suddenly remembered something.

Lin Tian originally wanted to give Jordan a gift at the beginning of the regular season, but because of the preseason games and everything, he completely forgot about it.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to think about it now!
Mr. Lin, you have a treasure hidden!

"System, use the bond aura! Target: Michael Jordan!"

"Activating the bond aura!"

"Calculating the bond level between the host and Michael Jordan!"

“Getting back in shape for Michael Jordan!”

"Ding! The calculation has ended and the status has been updated!"

"Michael Jordan's current status: 1998!"

It’s only 1998?

Lin Tian was somewhat disappointed.

I thought that the bond between me and Jordan was so strong that I could recover to the state of the first three consecutive games of 91-93.

I didn’t expect it’s only 98!

Of course, Jordan in 98 was also extremely strong.

Scoring champion, MVP, double first team of the year, Eastern Conference runner-up.
That’s enough!
Lin Tian didn't bother to think about how the system determined the level of bond and recovery between the two people.

After feeling regretful for a moment, he used up all the experience points he had accumulated since the playoffs, the World Championships, the training camp, and the season gift packs, totaling 24000 points!
It was just enough for Lin Tian to upgrade two skills to cure his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Morpho Effect LV4 (0/36000): Increases the host's rapid dribbling ability by 21%, changes direction dribbling ability by 15%, increases double-team breaking ability by 15%, increases the host's breakthrough ability by 33%, and the host's physical contact in the air is blocked After a serious foul, the probability of a 2+1 score increases by 13%, and the probability of knocking the opponent down increases by 13%!”

"God's Post-Up LV4 (0/28000): Post-up singles ability increased by 60%."

After upgrading these two skills, Lin Tian's panel became more attractive!

His dribbling has finally improved to the S+ level, and his low-post back-to-the-basket ability has also improved to S!

After this upgrade, among all the offensive items of Lin Tian, ​​this was the only one that had not reached S+! The rest were all S+!

Comfortable! But it's still a little short of being comfortable enough!
Anyway, Lin Tian has made up his mind to save the experience!

Make up for the 28000 experience points of "God's Back" as soon as possible, and then upgrade this skill to LV5!

Then Lin Tian's physical fitness and offense were both at the S+ level! Only then was he really comfortable!
In order to achieve the full S+ rating as soon as possible, Lin Tian will have to work harder and Jordan will have to suffer more.

Why do you always stay by my side? Why do you always stay as my top wool base for so many years?
Be patient, you will feel better soon!

Anyway, when Mr. Lin does this kind of thing, he always does it as soon as he thinks of it, and he will definitely be able to accomplish it!

Such as now.

"Michael, if you really can't do it, don't force yourself. I can do it too!" Lin Tian pretended to be embarrassed and said, "We can switch positions. I'll defend Stackhouse and you can deal with Lu!"

"This Lu doesn't have any special skills, he can be easily defended!"

Having said this, Lin Tian stopped talking abruptly. He knew that he didn't need to say the rest.

Jordan will figure it out himself.

No? How could I not be able to do it? How could I not be able to do it against a Stackhouse? Just barely? Do I need to use the word barely to beat Stackhouse?
What's the point of switching defense? I've been playing basketball for so many years and I've always defended the opponent's key players myself!

Defending against a useless Lu?
I’m going to kill Stackhouse right now!
At this moment, Jordan suddenly felt a long-lost power filling his body. He felt that his whole body was full of strength and he could easily kill a tiger!

"Come on, old man! I can defend you!" Seeing that Jordan actually came to the low post to ask for the ball again, Stackhouse, who had just successfully defended, became completely confident!
He is just a 39-year-old man, not worth hurting at all.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before Stackhouse had finished the story in his mind, Jordan had already launched an attack at an incredibly fast speed, and forced his way to the basket with three consecutive back-to-the-basket attacks. Then he pushed Stackhouse away with an elbow, and then he took advantage of the situation and forced a layup to score 2 points!
"What did you say, old man?" Jordan snorted, "Try to defend me again!"

"Hallucination! Everything is an illusion!" Stackhouse rubbed his aching ribs and thought to himself, "You can't fool me! Don't even think about it!"

This time, Stackhouse took the ball from Tyronn Lue from the backcourt, dribbled it to the frontcourt, and took the initiative to find Jordan.

Dribble, find the rhythm, suddenly change direction, accelerate to break through, and the person passes!

But the ball didn't come!
Jordan seized the opportunity and grabbed the ball, hitting it right on Stackhouse's hand. Then Jordan took the ball and launched a counterattack. With no one defending in the frontcourt, he swung the ball with one hand, and with a one-arm windmill with an extremely explosive visual effect, he slammed the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

"What did you say just now, Charles? You said Michael is old and can't play anymore, and he is no match for Stackhouse?" Kenny seized the opportunity and immediately mocked Barkley: "What is this now?"

"As we all know, Michael can always create miracles." Barkley has been slapped in the face countless times during his commentary in recent years. He has long been accustomed to it and his skin has become thicker and thicker. At this moment, he grinned and said, "But I think the next game will most likely enter the stage we are looking forward to!"

"The Pacers are going to make a move!" (End of this chapter)
