NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

McGrady once again faced Christie's defense in the frontcourt. This time McGrady did not choose to force a shot, but accelerated again after continuous dribbling. His legendary first step, which is the fastest in active service, broke out in the blink of an eye, and he squeezed past Christie and gained a body advantage.

Then McGrady pushed Christie with his shoulders, and then he accelerated again. His super long legs brought him super long strides. When this guy took the second step, Christie had fallen completely behind him and could not catch up with him at all!
But then McGrady saw Jordan actually appear in front of him, standing firmly, as if he was going to commit an offensive foul on him.

After all, McGrady is one of the top forward-guard swingmen in the league. He reacts incredibly quickly and instantly determines that Mike Miller must have missed the opportunity. Then he glances around and sees Miller's position, and the basketball in his hand immediately flies towards Miller!

"Thanks, Tracy!" Lin Tian shouted and rushed out from the blind spot of Maddie's sight!
This guy was obviously well prepared. After snatching the ball away, he slapped the ball and pushed it towards the front court. Then Lin Tian ran at full speed without dribbling!
Caesar on the track didn't dribble the ball but just ran away. Let alone the players of the Magic team, no one on this earth could catch up with him on their own two legs!

Lin Tian ran all the way without slowing down. After leaving everyone behind him, he suddenly jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian grabbed the basket with both hands and slammed it down, not forgetting to do a pull-up on top of the basket!
"Tracy, it's 2:2:0 now!"

“When can you score?”

"Don't fall too far behind, Mr. Future Scoring Champion!"

Lin Tian refused to give in and continued to trash-talk McGrady. He didn't believe that McGrady could hold it in!

But it doesn’t matter whether you can bear it or not.

You can bear it, but you are disrespectful, so you deserve to be beaten!

I can't help it. You've already trash-talked me, so it's only right for me to beat you up!
Anyway, today, Lin Tian and Jordan are here to cause trouble!
After missing two consecutive attacks at the beginning, including one miss and one mistake, McGrady had no intention of getting back on track. This time, after dribbling to the frontcourt, he immediately passed the ball to Miller and then moved to the weak side.

He wants to create space for Duncan and Miller so that they can play on one side at a time!
At least, the team has to score first!

Duncan did not disappoint McGrady's expectations. It was easy for him to play one-on-one against a short and strong defensive player like Big Ben in the low post!

The guy turned around to face the basket, then shook his shoulders and made a useless fake move, then he just pulled up, no, he just stood on tiptoes, and the basketball slipped out of his hands.

“Pah, shua!”

After two crisp clicks, Duncan made a signature boring rebound shot, scoring the team's first point of the night.

Then, the Pacers finally started their first positional battle of the night!

The Pacers' offensive position was very arrogant! The five players of the team quickly moved away, with Lin Tian and Jordan standing on either side of the waist, while Webber held the basketball at the top of the arc and observed the Magic's defense.

Big Ben was guarding the basket, while Christie stood on Jordan's side, helping Jordan make up for his lack of 3-point shooting ability and making Jordan more threatening.

After observing for a while, Webber decisively gave the ball to Lin Tian! After all, Jordan had two guys, McGrady and Miller, while Lin Tian only had Vaughn, who was just over 180 cm tall.

Today, Lin Tian has long been the nemesis of short and thin power forwards in the entire league!

His low-post play and strength are definitely a headache for all coaches!
This time, as soon as Lin Tian got the basketball, he immediately pushed backwards with force, and then suddenly turned towards the bottom line to create some distance. At this time, Vaughn was 2 meters away from Lin Tian, ​​and with the huge height difference between the two, it was natural for Lin Tian to pick it up and throw it easily!

"Shh!"

Even though Duncan was completely stuck in position under the basket, Lin Tian's offensive method of almost shooting in open space made Duncan's positioning really useless.

What can he do?
His teammates couldn't defend him and the opponent didn't come in. Even if he was the greatest power forward in history, he couldn't do anything!

“4：2：0！特雷西，4：2：0！”

After Lin Tian scored the goal, his trash talk to McGrady became shorter and shorter. Apart from numbers and names, there was not a single extra word. But McGrady definitely understood what Lin Tian meant!
The one who also understood Lin Tian’s meaning and felt hurt was undoubtedly Jordan!

If you want to talk trash, just talk trash. Why are you bringing me along?
What?

Of course it’s because I’m happy!

Lin Tian ignored Jordan's protesting look and quickly returned to defense.

It was Duncan again in this round. The big guy once again shot from the high ground, leaving Ben, who was no more than 2 meters tall, helpless. He could do nothing but open his arms.

"Doug, go over there! I'm alone here!" While moving, Jordan quickly shouted to Christie, asking him to stand next to Lin Tian, ​​otherwise Webber would look at the two people on his side and would not pass the ball here at all!
Christie shrugged helplessly. He didn't want to offend Jordan because of such a small matter, so he quickly ran to Lin Tian's side. When he saw Lin Tian looking at him, he spread his hands and said, "Michael asked me to come here. If you let me go, I can only sit on the bench."

"Do you think I'm the same as some petty people? When I can't get the ball, I keep nagging and blaming my teammates. People like this deserve contempt!"

"Shh!"

While Lin Tian and Christie were talking bad about Jordan, Jordan had already made a fadeaway jumper and scored 2 points! Unfortunately, the one defending him was Miller, a guy who made Jordan have no desire to talk trash, so he looked at Lin Tian and said, "Lin, count! Just like you did just now!"

"8:4!" Lin Tian quickly and accurately read out the score on the court: "Michael, are you already presbyopic? Can't you see for yourself?"

"Who the hell told you to report this! Report the scores of the three of us!" Jordan expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Tian's deliberate act of pretending to be stupid.

"4:4:4!" Lin Tian reported another set of numbers.

"What's 444? Who's ?"

"Tim Duncan! This guy also scored 4 points!"

"Do I care how many points he gets?"

"But he's the best player on the Magic! Don't you care about the best player on the other team?"

"You two! Don't look down on me!" Lin Tian and Jordan's crosstalk at the top of the arc made McGrady upset. He opened his mouth and told them to shut up: "Hit FUXX!"

Before McGrady could finish his words, Lin Tian and Jordan were already running towards him from the left and right! Because McGrady's reaction was a little slow, he didn't even have time to lift the basketball high and pass it out. He was directly stabbed in the waist by Lin Tian, ​​and the basketball was out of control!

Then Jordan quietly hit McGrady with his elbow, making it impossible for him to turn around. As for Lin Tian, ​​he accelerated and rushed to the front court with the basketball and made a fast break gliding slam dunk!

"Tracy, you asked for it! You asked us to play well! We are just fulfilling your wish!" Jordan shrugged his shoulders, looking relaxed.

This kid is not worth mentioning!
The entire Magic team is also not worth mentioning!
When Ma Long was on the team, it was still a decent team, at least there was someone who could shake up the scene.

But now Malone is gone, and the remaining two, McGrady and Duncan, are both taciturn guys who don't talk much. Letting them lead the team, the atmosphere of the team will not be bad, but there will be one less guy who is really willing to yell, boost morale, and increase the team's cohesion and unity.

"6:4:0!" When Lin Tian passed by McGrady, he continued to shout out the comparison of the three people's data tonight to McGrady.

Not very harmful, very insulting!
Because in the next game, the first two numbers are still increasing rapidly, but the last number is rotating extremely slowly!

"9:7:3!"

At the end of the first quarter, Lin Tian continued to yell at McGrady: "Come on, Mr. Scoring King!"

Want to be the scoring champion? I will scold you today!

Lin Tian and Jordan blew up the entire outside line of the Magic team. The performance of all the outside players of the Magic team, including McGrady, was terrible. The worst performance was of course McGrady!

Although this guy is facing Christie's defense tonight, as long as he holds the ball and launches an offense, Lin Tian and Jordan will immediately rush over from some incredible angles and directions to double-team him!

In other words, McGrady's reaction is quick enough, and his vision and passing skills are top-notch among the 2-3 positions. Otherwise, he would have made at least 4-5 turnovers in the first quarter tonight, instead of the current 2.

In addition, his shooting touch was also very bad. He made 5 of 1 shots in the first quarter and 2 of 1 free throws, scoring only 3 points in total!
In the entire Magic team, only Duncan performed normally in the first quarter. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, which barely prevented the team from being left too far behind by the Pacers.

But everyone knows that Duncan alone is obviously not enough for the team to withstand the impact of the Pacers and win in the end.

If they want to win the game, McGrady must play a beautiful game. If they want to win tonight, McGrady is the most important point for the Magic!

So, during the intermission, Rivers once again took out his unique chicken soup skills, pried open McGrady's mouth and poured some wine into him!
Never mind whether his chicken soup had any crappy additives, but after McGrady drank it, when he came on the court with 9 minutes left in the second quarter, his condition was indeed different!

The corners of his eyes, which were always drooping, seemed to have opened a little!
You know what, Rivers’ chicken soup can really nourish your skin and even has medical beauty functions!

31: 20!

At this moment, the score gap between the two sides has reached 11 points!
After McGrady came on the court, he saw that Lin Tian and Jordan were not there, so why would he hesitate? The confidence brought by the chicken soup increased rapidly. After holding the ball outside the 3-point line and performing two consecutive crotch fakes, he just pulled it up and threw it!
Signature pull-up 3-point shot!
In the first quarter, he was taken care of by Lin Tian and others, and he didn't have the opportunity to find the touch under his crotch continuously. But now facing Christie alone, McGrady played with ease and confidence!

"Shh!"

The 3-point ball drew an almost invisible arc and landed accurately in the pocket!

After scoring the goal, McGrady was about to wave his fist to express his excitement, then he saw Parker and Arenas walking off the court, and Lin Tian and Jordan appeared on the court again!

"FUXX! Damn it!" When he saw these two people coming on the court, McGrady stopped waving his fists and shouting, but shook his head to express his frustration.

"McGrady's action is very demoralizing!" The experienced Kenny immediately noticed McGrady's frustration: "As the leader of the team, even though he was really targeted by Lin and Jordan in the first quarter, he shouldn't have shown such obvious frustration."

"This emotion will quickly spread to teammates, making them lose their spirits! After all, when the team leader is like this, what can you ask his teammates to do?"

"McGrady has been in the league for six years. His ability is unquestionable, but he still hasn't learned how to be a successful leader! I don't know if this is his problem or Rivers' problem, but in any case, maybe this is the difference between him and top perimeter players like Lin, Michael, Kobe, and Iverson!"

"He's a little soft!"

I have to say that Kenny's evaluation was quite tactful and saved face for McGrady.

If it wasn't a live TV broadcast, Kenny would have scolded McGrady for suddenly stopping the celebration and turning around to swear.

Anyway, in their era, if someone played like this, they would definitely be bullied by the villains in the entire league!
Tonight's McGrady is no exception!

The Pacers didn't even let Christie defend McGrady next time, they directly let Jordan play!

Jordan is also very experienced in dealing with forwards like McGrady who are tall and dribble at a high height.
Back then, Drexler was almost killed by Jordan in a one-on-one match!

Tonight's McGrady will be no exception!
Not to mention, next to Jordan is Lin Tian, ​​a cunning guy who is ready to launch a sneak attack at any time!

McGrady also knew how erratic Lin Tian's movements were, and how insidious and cunning he was, so when he dribbled the ball tonight, he felt awkward and aggrieved.

He used at least 30% of his energy to look around, in case Lin Tian suddenly ran out to double-team him and steal the ball.

As it turns out, when Jordan is fully defending a player, and there is a monster like Lin Tian lurking around ready to steal the ball at any time, no one can play the game well!
McGrady is naturally among them!

This guy played extremely badly in the second quarter, even worse than in the first quarter! The chicken soup Rivers gave him was only enough for him to hit that one 3-pointer. After that, McGrady made 4 of 0 shots in the entire second quarter and didn't score a single point!
In the last 8 seconds of the second quarter, Jordan dribbled the ball from the top of the arc and faced McGrady again!

Just when McGrady lowered his body to defend the ball and find some space for himself, Lin Tian suddenly appeared beside him and provided a screen for Jordan.

Then Jordan immediately passed by Lin Tian's side, and then Lin Tian also quickly went down from the other direction.

Just when McGrady had just turned around and wanted to chase Jordan, Jordan had already passed the basketball to Lin Tian with a one-handed ground pass.

This time, McGrady didn't have time to turn around. He could only turn his head to look at Lin Tian, ​​while hoping that his teammates would come forward to defend Lin Tian.

But the basketball never stayed in Lin Tian's hands.

The moment Lin Tian touched the basketball with one hand, he slapped the basketball back towards Jordan.

It still hit the ground, and McGrady could see it clearly, but he just couldn't reach out his hand, and it flew past where he couldn't reach.

This time, after Jordan got the ball, he rushed directly into the inside and jumped directly to attack the basket facing Duncan.

Duncan took a step sideways, opened his arms, and did not jump at all, but perfectly blocked in front of Jordan. So Jordan passed the ball again, and the basketball flew back to Lin Tian's hands again. At this time, Lin Tian had completed the air cut to the edge of the 3-second zone. As for McGrady?

This guy has given up on defense and spread his hands out in frustration.

He was blaming substitute guard Armstrong, blaming him for not keeping up with Lin Tian.

This behavior is undoubtedly childish and immature.

You, McGrady, have given up on defense, and you still have the mood to blame your teammates?
Especially, the Pacers' offense is not over yet!

Duncan was facing two people at the basket. He tried his best to keep the ball. He wanted to block the double attack from Lin Tian and Jordan.

But obviously, Duncan is just a 'stone Buddha', he is not a 'Buddha'.

Duncan is totally unable to do such a thing!
After Jordan passed the ball to Lin Tian, ​​he could no longer keep up with the speed of the two and could only stand there with his hands raised.

Apart from hoping that Lin Tian would fly directly towards him, he had no other way to defend himself.

After all, if he only takes half a step forward, Big Ben behind him and Jordan beside him will have an easy chance to dunk!

He would rather watch Lin Tian shoot than let Jordan take the ball.

"Shh!"

Seeing that Duncan was not coming up, Lin Tian certainly would not be stupid enough to rush in directly.

No need!
With a sudden stop and a chic and easy jump shot, Lin Tian easily made 2 points!
"Shh!"

At the same time, almost at the moment when Lin Tian made the jump shot, the first half of the game ended!
62: 42!

The Pacers are leading the Magic by 20 points!
"19:17:6!"

This time, it was Jordan who ran to McGrady and read out tonight's data again.

This guy has been waiting for a long time and finally got the chance to criticize others like this.

There is no way, Lin Tian talks too much! Jordan didn't find a chance to criticize this directly in the entire first half.

Who made Lin Tian say it in almost every round? Jordan couldn't just parrot it, right?
Save your face!

“我猜下半场比赛结束的时候，这个数字会变成50：17：8！”在乔丹话音落下之后，林天快速的走到麦迪身边，跟着补刀：“又或者是55：20：10！”

"Anyway, you're dead tonight!"

"I can't score in the second half?" Jordan slapped Lin Tian on the head, rubbing his hair and said, "Still only get 3 points? Huh?"

"Are you jealous, Michael?" Lin Tian suddenly said, "Are you jealous of this beautiful hair? You will never grow hair in your life!"

"Go to hell, bastard!" Jordan said, and wanted to push Lin Tian's head down, but who is Lin Tian? Not only can he run fast, but he can also fight!
He bent down to dodge and turned quickly, passing in front of Jordan almost with an afterimage!
Then, when Jordan reacted, Lin Tian's hand was already rubbing his head.

"You said you're not bald? You said you can grow hair out? Can't I tell the difference between a real bald person and a bald person with a hairstyle? You don't have any hair on your head! Not even a single hair!"

"Nonsense! Yes! If I want my hair to grow longer, it can grow in minutes!"

"Then let him grow!"

"I don't want to!"

"The Queen of England didn't pass the throne to you because you didn't want to, right? Michael?"

The two of them were bickering as they walked, and then came to the locker room.

As always, there was jubilation in the Pacers' locker room tonight. The players were all very relaxed, knowing that they had a sure win tonight. Judging from the Magic's performance in the first half, could they turn the tables?

They can't even flip a pancake! Turning it over?

"Go on, kill them!"

Carlisle's arrangement during the halftime break was also quite simple and direct. He wanted to kill the opponent without leaving a single piece of armor!
"Lin, Michael, in this game, raise your average points per game. And that McGrady, keep his score below 10 points! Then, make sure he gives up the idea of ​​catching up with you two to become the scoring champion!"

"He really thought about it. I thought he was joking." Jordan said while chewing gum, "In this league, as long as I want, I will always be the scoring champion."

"No, not whenever you want, but whenever I want!"

Lin Tian corrected Jordan: "I hope you are, then you are. If I hope you are not?"

"Then you can't catch a single ball!"

"I'm chatting with the coach, it's none of your business!" Jordan got angry, and then the gambling desire that had been suppressed for a long time came up!
Once this thing comes up, he will be addicted!

Once you get too excited, no one can persuade you, and you're not afraid of anyone!
"I'm making a bet with you! In the second half, I don't need even one assist from you, and I can still score the highest points of the game!"

"Michael, don't act on impulse." Lin Tian patted Jordan's shoulder: "Why can't you play now?"

"Bet 10 US dollars!" Jordan's eyes widened. It had been a long time since he had made such a big bet with anyone.

"Okay! That's generous! Just 10 US dollars!" Lin Tian's attitude changed so quickly. Just now he was still an anti-gambling fighter, but now he took out a pen and paper and said to everyone else on the team: "Buy it now!"

"Buy it! What if I don't pass the ball to you after they buy it? What if you don't pass the ball to me after they buy it? It's not fair if they join!"

"In the second half, I'm going to play on my own!"

Actually, it doesn't really make much difference whether Jordan plays by himself or not! As long as the opponent doesn't double-team him and the intensity is not at the top level, Jordan will be like a fish in water and will beat anyone!

So whether Lin Tian feeds him the ball or not, as long as he is in a one-on-one situation, his chances of scoring are very high!

For example, at the beginning of the third quarter, Jordan scored three times in a row on Miller's head!

"I thought you'd at least have the guts to guard me and play against me."

When Jordan saw that McGrady didn't come to defend him, he snorted and showed disdain for him.

This class is the worst one Jordan has ever seen!
Lin Tian: That’s because you haven’t seen the rest. If you see the rest, you’ll know that each session is worse than the last!
Especially, those rookies you like are more excited than the others!

The beacon of talent show, are you just kidding?
Lin Tian even suspected that when he took Jordan to the entertainment venue to play the selection game, as long as Jordan said the next batch, then this batch must stay! There must be an unexpected gain in it!
On the contrary, if Jordan says 'not bad', that's it! You must say change a batch!
What is a reverse beacon?
This is!
After all, as long as it is a draft, no matter how you choose, whether you choose it for one night or one season, it is still a draft! Jordan is not good at it!
As soon as the third quarter started, Lin Tian and Jordan started competing with each other!
At this moment, the two of them were not competing with McGrady, who played terribly in the first half, scoring only 9 points with 2 of 6 shots.

It’s boring. It’s obvious that this little guy was in a trance in the first half.

In the second half of the game, just leave him to Christie!

As for Lin Tian and Jordan?
Lin Tian was on the left, Jordan on the right. The two of them were almost never on the same side of the court. They were like kings of the mountain. One of them drew an invisible line and told the other: "Don't come over here if you have nothing to do! This is my territory!"

The two people's fighting styles are very balanced.

Lin Tian one round, Jordan one round.

Although they didn't discuss this at all during the halftime break, when it came to this point in the game, they could just start competing with each other tacitly, or start playing!
But the Magic had no way to deal with them. Duncan had great deterrence in the interior, but these two guys hardly attacked the interior. They just used back-to-the-basket and mid-range jump shots to humiliate the Magic's defense again and again.

The scores of these two people are also rising rapidly!

As for the Magic team, McGrady was targeted too hard in the first half, so even in the second half when Christie became the main defender, he couldn't find any feeling. The arc of his signature pull-up jump shot was even flatter, and the ball he threw out made a series of loud bangs.

"31:30:10!"

This is the trash talk that Lin Tianchong said to McGrady at the end of the third quarter.

He and Jordan both scored double-digit points in this quarter, and the competition between the two has entered a white-hot stage.

As for McGrady, this guy was completely lost. He had a mess of missed shots in the third quarter, only scoring one goal in open play. Even the two free throws he made were not made by him!

The two free throws came from Ben's technical foul and Miller's defensive three seconds.

He completely returned to 96 tonight.

At that time, Lin Tian and Jordan led the team to win 70 games in the league, and McGrady was still a senior high school student, full of beautiful aspirations for life!

70:89!
But even though McGrady played so badly, the gap between the two sides was still narrowed by the end of the third quarter! Only 19 points.

The reason why the Magic team had not been completely left behind and even recovered 1 point in the third quarter was certainly not because of McGrady's missed shots.

They relied on Duncan's tireless and patient scoring under the basket, and on Mike Miller finding his touch and hitting 3 3-pointers from the outside in a single quarter!

Of course, the most important reason for not being left behind was not that Duncan and Miller kept scoring.

Lin Tian and Jordan are basically just playing!
The two of them didn't pass the ball to each other or run tactics. They played on the court with great ease, but also a little too casually.

Therefore, although the two of them had good scoring efficiency, the entire team did not produce any chemistry or beautiful team offense, and even their firepower was not maximized at all!

That is to say, one of these two is the former king of the league, and the other is the current king of the league and the king of Indiana. The other people on the Pacers joined in the fun, and not only did they not feel like they were just a foil, but they found it quite fun to smile.

Who is a good person who can watch two people separate on the court and teach you post-up singles!

Kobe wanted to learn this and spent a lot of dollars!
However, although the players were happy to watch and were happy to just goof off on the court, they were still leading by nearly 20 points.

But the players are willing, and Carlisle can't stand it!
As soon as the third quarter ended, although the young coach did not curse directly, his mood was obviously not very good.

"Did you have fun?"

"Happy." Lin Tian nodded to show that he was satisfied.

"Would you like to play for a while longer?"

"No need, just beat them to death!" Jordan knew when to stop and said quickly, "3 minutes! We'll increase the score to 30 points!"

"I'll give you five minutes." Carlisle looked at Lin Tian and Jordan and said, "Get the score to 5 points within five minutes of the fourth quarter. Otherwise, no matter what the situation is, no matter how the game goes, you two won't have to play!"

"Sit on the bench and reflect on your decision! And, regardless of whether you two can complete the task, increase your training volume by 5% when you return! The court is not a place for you two to show off!"

"I'll add 10% by myself, coach! Michael, don't do that." Lin Tian said, "He can't handle it."

"I can't handle it? I'll add 20%!" Jordan stood up and cursed, "There has never been a training session in my life that I couldn't handle!"

"Deal then! Coach, he adds 20% himself, so I won't add any, right?" Lin Tian smiled and looked at Carlisle, waiting for his instructions.

"Get out!" Carlisle felt like his blood pressure was about to burst through his head.

With two bastards like these under your command, who wouldn't have high blood pressure?
The other 28 head coaches in the league: Me! I'm fine! Give it to me! Give it all to me! If it really doesn't work, just give me one! (End of this chapter)
