NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Pettit's explanation definitely convinced the fans!

Who made it so that the two people waiting for dunk at the back are Carter and Lin Tian?

Then, it was Carter's turn!
This guy seemed to be struggling with the backboard tonight. He came behind the backboard again. This time he chose to throw the ball directly over the backboard and dropped it in front of the basket. He suddenly accelerated from behind the backboard, then jumped again and lowered his head to avoid the backboard.

Finally, he caught the basketball before it hit the ground, then he held the basketball up and down with both hands, and after an obvious folding pull, he finally slammed the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Carter's move was also top-notch!
The way he dodged the rebound, the timing of catching the ball, the amplitude of the pull-up shot, and the strength of the dunk were all flawless!
Then, after discussing, the referee on the scene gave another score of 49!
"Vince, the reason for giving you 49 points is the same as Jason's! We look forward to your better performance."

Then, it was Lin Tian's turn.

Jordan is here again!

Lin Tian’s thoughts were very clear: If I have such a top-notch tool man and I don’t use him, then what should I use?
Even Lin Tian’s thought was: Danzi, don’t go down, just participate in every dunk!

Let the best dunker of the 80s help me, the strongest dunker of the 21st century, to ascend the throne for the second time. Just thinking about it makes me happy!
This is the joy of face-to-face NTR!
Lin Tian felt that if Jordan passed the ball to him, he could jump 3 centimeters more!

This time, Jordan stood on the side of the basket near the baseline and held the ball above his head, while Lin Tian started running wildly from a 30-degree angle on the wing.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Tian was going to do a traditional dunk by grabbing the ball and jumping over someone, Lin Tian came up with something special again!

He jumped sideways towards Jordan!
After jumping, Lin Tian did not spread his legs like other dunkers. Instead, he put his legs together, then used force from his waist to lift his legs up!

He placed his entire body in the air to form a capital L!

Then, Lin Tian's butt flew over Jordan's head. At the same time, Lin Tian took the ball from Jordan's hand. After changing hands under his buttocks, Lin Tian slammed the ball into the basket again with one hand!

"boom!"

It's boiling!
The scene is boiling again!
Lin Tian performed a dunk that no one had ever seen or even imagined!
Dunk from the hips!
Under the buttocks!
Can it be deducted like this?

How could someone deduct like this?

This ball once again maxed out its difficulty, height, power and danger!

Crazy!

The fans at the scene roared madly and howled at their best, they cheered for Lin Tian!

Shout for Lin Tian!
Then, this time the referees did not try to balance or leave any space.

No need!

50 points!
Lin Tian scored his second consecutive 50 points!
Advance to the finals!

According to the rules, Carter and Richardson will have a round of PK extra games until the winner is decided. The winner will meet Lin Tian in the finals!

Well, that's according to the rules.

But at this moment, Lin Tian suddenly walked towards the host and took the microphone from his hand.

"I have a proposal."

Lin Tian’s words were simple and direct. The scene, which had been extremely lively just now, suddenly became quiet. Everyone wanted to hear what Lin Tian had to say.

"No need for extra games, let all three of us enter the finals!"

"Otherwise, it's very unfair!"

"There are only so many creative and top dunks. If Jason and Vince use up all their creativity in the extra round, then in the finals, I will win unfairly!"

"So, if everyone agrees, we will reset our scores to zero and have two more rounds, with the three of us competing in the finals together!"

Lin Tian's words, without a doubt, once again caused an uproar at the scene!
crazy! too crazy!
Judging from the dunking level and ability of the three people tonight, if Carter and Richardson could dunk one more round, Lin Tian's chances of winning the championship would increase exponentially.

After all, there are only a few top-notch dunks, and on a night like tonight where you either succeed or die, and get full marks or you’re eliminated, if you dunk one more, you’ll lose one point chance!
But now, Lin Tian actually said that he doesn’t want these benefits and advantages?

There are two types of people who can do this.

A chivalrous man with a sense of justice who will never take advantage of anyone!

A king who has absolute confidence and believes that he will never lose.

As for Lin Tian, ​​it was obvious that he had nothing to do with being righteous and not taking advantage of others. This guy loved taking advantage of others the most, so there was only one reason why he could make such a choice -

confidence!

100% confidence!
Didn’t you see that this guy hasn’t even taken off his pants and jacket yet?

He hasn't even used his full strength yet!

"Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin!"

"Clear! Clear! Clear!"

"Three! Three! Three!"

As the audience cheered wildly, the alliance was also rapidly conducting discussions, applications and research.

Just when a group of officials didn't know what to do, Stern called.

"What are you hesitating about? Promise him! Does this require consideration and research? For something like this, just give your fucking promise! You idiots! This is the All-Star Game, not the playoffs!"

"The most important thing about the All-Star Game is fun and excitement! Everything else can be discussed later! Promise Lin immediately! Let the three-way finals begin!"

With Stern's call, the matter was finally confirmed!
The points of the three people's two dunks in the first round are reset to zero, and the finals begin!
Before the final began, the three people conducted a very friendly, fair and original draw ceremony to decide who would play tonight.

Rock paper scissors.

In the end, Lin Tian lost his luck and was defeated by two people right from the start. He was the first to appear, the second was Carter, and the third was Richardson.

Lin Tian didn't have any extra thoughts about his first appearance. He walked directly to the sidelines and pulled Jordan up again.

"Haven't you practiced a lot? Can't you dunk one yourself?" Jordan was getting impatient now. When would this end?

We practiced so many dunks, but tonight we used only the cooperation of two people?
"It's fun!" Lin Tian said with a smile: "Let's do that this time!"

As Lin Tian spoke, he waved to the staff off the field, and the staff immediately brought out a ladder from the passage!
Then Lin Tian took the ladder and placed it under the basket. After gesturing for a long time, Jordan stood on it.

"What's this for? How do you dunk? Jordan and the ladder are very close to the basket, so close that Jordan can dunk directly on the ladder!"

"With a ladder placed at this distance, how is Lin going to dunk? He has little room to maneuver! My imagination is really lacking, and I can't imagine how Lin is going to dunk this ball."

"This distance and height reminded me of when I was a kid and couldn't dunk yet, I asked my friend to help me lift the ball, and then I would jump up and press the basketball and pull the basket, and call it that I could dunk!"

"The placement and distance of this ball are very similar to me at that time!"

While the commentator was analyzing and guessing what Lin Tian was going to do, Lin Tian started!

This time he didn't have a very long running distance, he just started from the 3-point line at the top of the arc and rushed towards Jordan and the basket!

Then, the mystery was solved!
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but open their mouths wide, and then almost at the same time, everyone looked up in disbelief, wanting to check the big screen to see what had just happened.

All of Lin Tian's movements before the dunk just now were exactly the same as what the host said was the 'first dunk in life'!
Go straight to the basket and take off.

But after jumping, Lin Tian did not reach for the basketball or dunk, but suddenly bent down.

Once again, he positioned himself as a capital 'L'!
But the difference is that just now it was a forward L, and now it is an inverted L!

While bending down, Lin Tian stretched his hands toward the sky from behind his back.

Then, under everyone's incredible gaze, Lin Tian touched the basketball with both hands and then pushed it directly into the basket!

In!

The force and sound of this ball were not loud, and there was no real force involved. Lin Tian just pushed the ball in!

But the way the ball was pushed in was definitely beyond everyone's expectations!
all!
No one had ever thought that Lin Tian could push the ball in this way!
Reverse joint! This reverse joint dunk absolutely violates common sense of human physiology!
Can you dunk with your joints reversed?
Lin Tian’s creativity in this shot was fully utilized!

At the same time, the degree of distortion of his body and the height of his bounce also made this goal extremely difficult!

At least Carter and Richardson next to them were a little confused after seeing this ball.

They were very sure that they couldn't dunk this ball by themselves!
Absolutely not possible!
too crazy!

At the same time, everyone was extremely shocked. Why would Lin Tian practice this kind of trick?
Isn’t he afraid that if he is not careful, his arms will be dislocated or even suffer more serious injuries?

The danger level of this ball is even higher than the previous dunk!

After all, he failed in the hip dunk and just fell to the ground.

But if this ball is missed, the consequences could be serious or serious!
This dunk was extremely difficult, creative, and dangerous, so the judges gave it 50 points without much discussion!
The third 50-point dunk!
After seeing this goal, everyone understood why Lin Tian was so confident.

It's normal to be confident when you have such a hidden trick!

And after Lin Tian's shot, the next two dunks by Carter and Richardson seemed a bit mediocre.

Carter used his 360-degree turn and two-handed windmill again!

His dunk on this ball was still extremely relaxed and freehand, still combining both the attributes of strength and elegance!
But the problem is that Lin Tian's shot just now was so amazing, so amazing that Carter's shot was considered a bit too ordinary by the judges.

Even if this is Carter, even if this is Carter's ultimate move!

It's a bit lacking in meaning!
49!

Another 49!

The one who gave 9 points this time was again the veteran Pettit! Only someone of Pettit's status dared to give 49 points at this time!
And once again, his reasons convinced everyone!

“Lin gave you one round, so if your dunk is not amazing enough and is just an ordinary 50-point dunk, then I won’t give you 10 points! You have to at least be at the same level as Lin’s dunk to get my 10 points!”

Pettit's words triggered another round of cheers from the fans!
Look! What is a legend? What is a top player in the league?
We Atlantans have vision!

And what he said was very sophisticated!

Then the pressure came to Richardson.

As the initiator of this challenge, he needs a perfect dunk to justify himself.

Richardson also used his unique skills this time!
After throwing the ball and dunking it, he grabs the basketball, then holds it in the air, rotates 180 degrees and windmills the ball into the basket with both hands!

But alas, he has the same problem as Carter.

After Lin Tian’s crazy dunk, his dunk was too conventional!
At any time, it would be 50 points, but tonight, Pettit only gave him 49!

Carter and Richardson had two absolutely top-notch dunks, but both scored 49 points.

What’s even more exaggerated is that everyone, including Richardson and Carter, thinks that this score is justified and they can totally accept it!

Lin Tian's shot just now was just one point higher than theirs!
Then, it was Lin Tian again!
When everyone was looking forward to what other special skills he could show, Lin Tian first showed Jordan!
Jordan, the prop with the most appearances in this dunk contest, took the stage again.

This time, he stood near the baseline again, and then watched Lin Tian start to accelerate at the 3-point line in the bottom corner. He calculated Lin Tian's running distance, and then suddenly threw the ball to the side of the basket!
The side of the basket again!

"Bang!" The basketball hit the side of the basket and bounced back quickly, while Lin Tianren had already jumped into the air.

He held the basketball with one hand, and then his body and the arm holding the ball began to rotate at the same time.

Lin Tianren turned 360 degrees in the air, and the basketball held in one hand also turned 360 degrees with him!
It’s just that one is rotation and the other is revolution!

Lin Tian's one-handed windmill was round and straight, just like Carter's. This ball could definitely be called a compass-level windmill!

"boom!"

Then there was another loud bang, and Lin Tian's violent dunk, which showed his body's flexibility and strength to the extreme, hit the basket again!
Violent and expansive!
Elegant and fierce!

This is the best adjective to describe Lin Tian’s goal!
50 points!
Dozens of seconds later, the five judges once again gave a full score!
After two full marks, Lin Tian has already secured this year's championship!
Who made Carter and Richardson both lose 1 point?

Lin Tian won the second dunk contest championship in his career!

More importantly, even after he finished buttoning these four, Lin Tian still hadn’t taken off his coat and pants!

He still looked like he was still warming up, still had that lazy and carefree look, as if he was just here to have some fun.

All the fans couldn't help but have the same thought.

How many tricks does this guy have that he hasn't used yet?

There can't really be something like a dunk from outside the three-point line, right?

Lin Tian: You’re overthinking it. Unless he’s a Saiyan, how could a good person be so stingy?
After Lin Tian completely secured the championship, Carter and Richardson actually relaxed!

Then Carter delivered his most beautiful dunk of the night.

The top of the arc began to accelerate, and Carter began to spin after taking off.

He turned a full circle in the air but didn't stop. Instead, he turned another half circle before dunking the ball into the basket!

It didn't turn to 720 degrees, but it was most likely over 540 degrees!
Carter once again demonstrated his physical talents!
For this ball, the referees finally gave him 50 points!
Richardson came next and also used his best trick.

He slammed the basketball onto the floor outside the three-point line, then ran out with the basketball. As the basketball bounced on the floor, Richardson also jumped up, and then did a 3-degree turn against his body and inertia, and a slam dunk that seemed to completely violate the common sense of physics!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Richardson's fourth dunk finally got him 50 points!
He and Carter both scored 99 points and tied for second place!

After these two nearly perfect and liberating dunks, the champion of the final individual event tonight was finally officially announced!

Lin Tian! It's Lin Tian again!
He won his third championship tonight! As he said before the game tonight: "I came here to get only three things! Championship! Championship! And championship!"

After the results came out, the first person to run over to congratulate Lin Tian was Carter. He hugged Lin Tian tightly and said, "That's crazy, Lin! That's crazy! I never thought it could be this good!"

"Me too!" Richardson stretched out his hand and touched Lin Tian's, saying, "I am convinced! I am convinced of my defeat! I originally thought I could win."

"But I can't even make you take off your training clothes."

Richardson's proudest dunk was completely defeated by Lin Tian! His mood at the moment was not as good as it seemed!
The stars sitting on the sidelines, such as Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal and others, rushed over excitedly, high-fived, hugged and celebrated with Lin Tian!
The level of this dunk contest is absolutely satisfactory!
It is definitely one of the strongest, most intense and highest level ones in history!

In fact, it is very likely that only the ultimate showdown between Lin Tian and Carter in 00 can be on the same level as this year's!

The level and tone of the dunk contest were completely raised to a very high level by Lin Tian, ​​Carter and Richardson!
How high is this height? You will know after reading the report on the second day!

"28 points! Lin scored the highest score in the history of the 3-point contest and won the championship with difficulty!"

"Behind the 23 consecutive goals is Lin's unparalleled confidence!"

"The first skills challenge almost became a joke, Lin won the championship without any mistakes and set the tone for this competition!"

"Who is more embarrassing? Marbury who missed two layups or Kidd who missed 8 shots in a row?"

"Perfect performance! Lin made no mistakes in two rounds. Is he the one with the best skills and fundamentals in the NBA?"

The above is basically all the news and reports about the 3-point contest and skills competition.

Next up, it’s all about the dunk contest!
"Davis accidentally sprained his ankle and may be absent for a month!"

《Three dunks without a dunk! Davis' performance tonight seemed to be in a different dimension from the others! 》

"Poor fourth man! Only three people participated in this dunk contest!"

"It would be better not to come. Davis came to Atlanta and took nothing away. He also lost his face!"

"The strongest in history? Rewatch Lin Tian's 4 crazy dunks, all perfect, all brilliant!"

"He didn't even take off his coat! Who else in this alliance can force Lin Tian to take off his coat?"

"Carter and Richardson are absolutely perfect! But their opponent is Lin!"

"Which of Lin Tian's four dunks is more exciting? The voting has started in real time! "

"Once again, he scored full marks! After winning the championship with 200 points, can Lin Tian become the best dunker?"

"Stop it! The dunk contest has no need to continue to exist!"

"It can be put on hold now. The dunk contest is bound to get worse and worse after this year!"

"Where is the limit? What other tricks does Lin have for dunking?"

"Guess what Lin Tian didn't show off: the free throw line turn plus windmill may be his ultimate trick!"

"No need to take off your jacket! Rumor has it that the league is planning to cancel the dunk contest!"

"No rival! Lin Tian is unbeatable in the league!"

"Can we find a dunker who can compete with Lin from abroad or outside the league? The following people may be able to challenge Lin's hegemony! "

《Replay Lin's four dunks from multiple angles without blind spots! Every frame can be made into a poster directly! 》

"Inheritance! Inheritance again! Jordan made four passes to assist Lin to become the new dunk king!"

"The most tragic in history? Carter participated in the dunk contest twice and failed twice. He is among the top three in dunking level in history but has no dunk championship title!"

"Richardson is convinced! He has no excuses for losing to Lin!"

One report after another, full of praise and overwhelming analysis, fully demonstrated how wonderful and perfect Lin Tian's performance was in this dunk contest!

An impeccable performance, a championship-winning journey with no faults to be found!
The popularity of the Slam Dunk Contest not only completely overshadowed the 3-point contest and the skills contest, but also stole a lot of attention from the All-Star Game that was to be held afterwards!

Fortunately, when it came to Sunday afternoon, when all the players began to accept interviews from reporters at the "round table meeting" before the All-Star Game, everyone finally remembered an important thing.

This year is the last time Jordan will participate in the All-Star Game! This year is the last year of Jordan's career!

As a result, whether it was reporters, players or fans, their attitudes changed immediately, and the topics they cared about also changed.

From Lin Tian to Jordan, from dunks to the All-Star Game!

Before the game, many All-Star players expressed their thoughts on this year's All-Star Game and their attitudes towards Jordan.

Kobe: The last one? Then I will beat Michael to death! I will do my best and show my best attitude to fight Michael!
Garnett: I'm looking forward to my last All-Star game with Michael! I hope we can beat the East, and I hope I can block a few shots on Jordan.

O'Neal: I will find a chance to have a one-on-one match with Michael! In the high post, I will use his face-to-face offense to have a face-to-face match with him!
Francis: A great legend is leaving, and I think the best way to pay tribute to him is to defeat him!

Iverson: I'm a little envious of those guys in the West. On a night like this, it would feel better to be Michael's opponent than to be his teammate!
Yao Ming: When I entered the league, I was almost selected by Jordan. When I went to the Wizards for a tryout, he dunked over me. It still seems like a dream when I think about it now!

Carter: I chose North Carolina because of Michael! He pointed me in the right direction, and I will continue to work hard with him as my goal.

Lin Tian: I wish Michael a good journey. I hope his future journey will be free of pain and injury, war or poverty. I hope he can leave in peace. I will help him take care of his brother.

Stern: I have prepared a special surprise for Michael. Everyone will know it at halftime! This is the last All-Star trip for the greatest player in NBA history. I will always miss the days when Michael was in this league!

Carlisle: I still can't believe I got to coach Michael for a year! It's like a dream.

Jackson: I love Michael! He is the greatest player I have ever coached in my life!
In short, various players, All-Star coaches from the East and West, and league presidents have expressed their opinions, and all these conditions indicate that tonight's All-Star Game will be very different!
Everyone was looking forward to this evening. The game this evening was very similar to what everyone had imagined, but there were also things that no one had expected.

The part that everyone can think of is that the Western team took on the attitude of playing in the playoffs. They went all out from the beginning of the game and attacked frantically. Kobe did his best to fight and confront Jordan with all his might!
The pace of the game was fast, but the intensity was also high. Players from both the East and West showed their full attitude to deal with this game!
While the Western team was giving it their all, everyone on the Eastern team, including Lin Tian, ​​was very sensible. They did not try to steal the limelight from Jordan. As long as there was a chance, the basketball would almost certainly fall into Jordan's hands, allowing him to lead the offense!
This is the last All-Star Game for the 'God of Basketball' and he deserves it.

All of the above, including the competitive motivation, Jordan's long playing time, the large number of shots, and the exciting game, were anticipated by both fans and players.

Even in an offense in the first half, O'Neal dribbled to the frontcourt, waved to Kobe to cover for him, faced Jordan outside the 3-point line, and then O'Neal used his clumsy between-the-legs dribble, continuous change of direction and fadeaway jump shot to make a three-point shot. People could have guessed this scene.

What no one expected was that Jordan's condition tonight was really terrible!

He only made 12 of 3 shots in the first half, with a hit rate of just 25%!

A totally substandard and terrible performance!
If it weren't for the period in the middle of the second quarter when Jordan was absent and Lin Tian made three consecutive three-pointers to keep the score close, the score between the two sides would definitely not be 3:3 at this moment.

The Eastern team is definitely not trailing by 2 points at this moment, but most likely by more than 15 points!
整个上半场比赛，乔丹12投3中，罚球1罚1中仅仅拿下7分！
而整个东部队得分比他高的除了7投6中，3分球3投3中罚球2罚全中拿下17分的林天之外，还有8投4中，3分球4投2中拿下10分的卡特。

In addition, McGrady also scored 11 points in the first half, and with Duncan's 10 points, the Eastern team's scoring distribution in the first half was very even. Of course, this was also the result of Lin Tian's intention!
Of course he knew that Jordan wanted the MVP, and he also knew that Jordan wanted to give his All-Star journey a perfect ending tonight, so when Lin Tian discovered that Jordan was really not in good shape tonight, he did not continue to feed the ball to Jordan frantically.

Instead, he started feeding the ball to everyone equally.

The main focus is on average!
In this way, at least when no one else stands out, as long as Jordan can regain his form in the second half, he still has a chance to win the MVP!

Of course, if you want to win the MVP tonight, the most important thing is that the East must win! The Western Conference players are playing like they are in the finals. If the Eastern Conference relaxes a bit, they will lose tonight!

This is also the reason why Lin Tian took consecutive shots in the second quarter.

If I don't make a move, we'll be pulled apart completely! If we're pulled apart, what's the point of fighting?
Must bite!

In the West, Garnett and Kobe are two guys who are notoriously disrespectful to the elderly. Garnett scored 20 points in the first half and Kobe also scored 17 points. These two guys really showed their attitude towards the playoffs.

Well, Garnett doesn't count. If he had this kind of firepower in the playoffs, the Timberwolves wouldn't have been unable to get past the first round in eight years.

When the players came out of the locker room after the half-time break, the second half of the game did not start immediately.

First, Stern stood in the middle of the venue and gave a speech. He said a lot of heartfelt things, from the difficulties of the league in the 80s to the rivalry between the black and white heroes, to Jordan entering the league and winning one honor after another. As Stern spoke, his eyes were really wet.

After all, to Stern, Jordan really saved the league and saved him!
If there was no Jordan, and the Black and White Heroes chose to retire for their own ridiculous reasons, one to build roads and the other to build sewers, then the NBA would definitely have had a very sad few years!

But Jordan's appearance saved everything!
Then, after Stern's speech, he left the court and the gift he had prepared for Jordan arrived.

Mariah Carey!
America's top pop queen, a female singer who is at the top of the singers in terms of popularity, strength and ability, came to the scene and showed off her singing voice.

After the song "HERO" was sung, more people at the scene followed her voice and fell into memories.

Her songs have a kind of magic that makes people immerse themselves in them and feel their hearts surge!
"Lin, what are you thinking about?" Jordan stood beside Lin Tian, ​​his eyes a little moist. He suppressed his trembling voice as much as possible and asked his good friend how he felt.

Anyway, Jordan is thinking a lot now. He thinks about the days when he won the championship in North Carolina, the buzzer-beater against the Cavaliers in the playoffs, his tears after winning the championship for the first time, his decision to retire after playing against the Suns, and he also thinks about losing to Lin Tian in 98!
Jordan's eyes seemed to be flashing like a kaleidoscope, with scenes from his entire career flashing through his mind like crazy.

He couldn't help but want to share it with others, couldn't help but want to talk about it with his best buddies.

"I think Hollywood is still better! Those actors are just prettier than singers!" Lin Tian said bluntly: "I still like Hollywood chicks! These top singers competing for the Grammy Awards are not meant for me."

No fate?

Go to hell!
After Jordan found out that Lin Tian was thinking about this, he stopped talking to Lin Tian. He turned around and walked to the side, pouting, feeling very unhappy!

I'm in a revolving door, wishing I could recall my entire life again. What about you?
Who the hell are you thinking about sleeping with tonight? (End of this chapter)
