NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Get lost." Lin Tian kicked Arenas and told him to go away. "Don't get involved in things that shouldn't be done by kids."

Arenas rubbed his butt in grievance, looking at Webber, Big Ben and the others who were urging him to come over and ask him some questions with a resentful look on his face, full of resentment.

I said I wouldn't ask, and you said you would punish me if I didn't ask. Oh, now that I have asked, you all look down on me and dare not look me in the eye. Lin even kicked me.

It’s a good thing I didn’t bring a gun, otherwise I would have given you bastards a beating!
The aggrieved Arenas didn't get an answer, and naturally the others wouldn't have any answers either.

Lin Tian and Jordan sat together very relaxedly, changing clothes and chatting about something.

But even if the people around pricked up their ears desperately, they could not hear anything.

These two bastards, their voices are too quiet!

"Lin, you and Michael..." It wasn't until everyone stood up and prepared to go out of the locker room to participate in the game that Carlisle finally seized the opportunity and said to Lin, who was finally left alone: ​​"Tonight's game..."

"It's okay, I'm sure to win!"

Lin Tian answered the question irrelevantly, patted Carlisle on the shoulder, turned and left.

FUXX!
Carlisle wanted to curse, who asked you this? Who cares whether we win tonight's game?
What I want is for the team’s chemistry to be exactly the same as before!
Who cares if the team has 64 or 65 wins after tonight?

Isn't he first in the league with a few wins?
Carlisle is now 100% sure that Lin Tian and Jordan, the two bastards, have discussed something, but these two bastards just won't tell him.

Carlisle is anxious! Carlisle is in a state of panic!
The hair on Carlisle's head was falling out in clumps!
"Coach, I see that your hair loss problem seems to be quite serious recently. I have recently been using a shampoo that is produced in South America. It can effectively inhibit hair loss, so you don't have to worry about hair loss anymore."

I don't know when Ginobili came over.

He was just about to promote his national brand again, but then he was frightened by Carlisle's murderous eyes and momentum.

"Get lost! Mind your own business!"

Carlisle rubbed Ginobili's head while cursing, and pushed him out of the player tunnel. Then he patted the hair on his hands, took a deep breath, and walked out of the player tunnel.

Whatever you want! Anyway, judging from Lin Tian's expression, he already knew what was going on, so Carlisle didn't bother to care anymore.

Anyway, there’s no way to control it, right?
Let it be! How can a team be broken up because of a scoring champion?
Thinking of this, Carlisle felt refreshed and his whole body was clear.

No matter what! Let it fly!
Love it!

When Carlisle was the last one to walk into the stadium, he immediately heard the crazy shouts of the fans!

The difference is that Indiana fans obviously know that tonight is a special night. If they continue to yell at whoever they want as they usually do, the team might really end up with some internal strife.

So, this time Indiana fans chose a compromise.

"MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Just shout MVP, don’t shout the players’ names!

Anyway, whoever you players think we are calling out is who we are calling out.

To put it in a broader sense, this is boundless love, and all the members of a team are MVPs!

To put it simply, our Indiana fans are completely different from those bitches from other teams!
For example, the Knicks.

The bastard Dolan sat in the front row of the stadium again, accompanied by two beautiful girls that Lin Tian had never seen before. When Dolan saw Lin Tian and Jordan, he excitedly waved and said hello: "It's my treat tonight! It has to be my treat! Let's celebrate!"

"Congratulations on winning the scoring title!"

Dolan blinked his eyes with a wicked smile, as if waiting for one of the two guys to step forward and accept the title.

This guy looked like he deserved a beating, but Lin Tian and Jordan ignored him.

But the two of them didn't have much chance to warm up.

Because Houston also walked over with a smirk.

"Aren't you out for the season, you bastard?" Lin Tianyi didn't give Houston a good look when he saw him, and directly pointed out that this guy was clearly out for the season in February, so why is he here wearing a training suit now?
"If I miss a game like this tonight, I will be in pain for the rest of my life!" Houston said with a smile, "So I asked the team doctor for permission to play in this game!"

"FUXX!" Jordan cursed, wanting to stay away from this former teammate who was now lying completely flat and shameless.

"Don't go, Michael. How many points are you going to score tonight? Or, how many more points are you going to score than Lin tonight?"

Houston kept asking questions, but Lin Tian and Jordan completely ignored him and walked quickly towards their own half.

Stoudemire, who had basically secured the title of this year's best rookie, originally wanted to reach out and say hello, but was directly ignored by the two men and walked past the boy without even stopping for a step.

It made Xiao Si feel so awkward standing there.

But no matter whether it was the players from the Knicks or the Pacers, their attempts did not get them the results they wanted. Lin Tian and Jordan kept their mouths shut and did not say a word.

This makes everyone extremely curious about the next part of the game.

How will it proceed?

Are these two brothers just going to let things take their own course or are they going to fight for it with their lives?

curious!

As for why Jordan and Lin Tian were like this?

We’ve discussed it!
The two had already discussed this a few days ago after it was confirmed that the scoring champion would be decided in the final game.

The first step to reaching a consensus is that since you all want to see, and want to find out something from our mouths and know our attitudes, then we two brothers won’t say a word!
Just don’t say it!
I'm going to make you anxious!

Want to watch the fun?

Think about it!
As for the second consensus reached.

Why do we have to decide a winner?

As for the scores, they don't have to be different, high or low.

Exactly the same, isn't it?
How come you all have been led into misunderstanding?

The warm-up was over quickly, and amid the crazy cheers of fans all over the world and fans at the scene, what may be the most distinctive regular season game in NBA history is about to begin!
Again, there aren’t many years when the scoring title race remains tied until the last day of the season, but it’s not a problem to count 3-4 such years.

But the contenders for the scoring title are two people from the same team?
That would be the first time ever!
It would be even more exciting if these two people were the cornerstones of the league's past two dynasties, the winners of seven consecutive championships since the 95-96 season, and almost monopolized the MVP in recent years!
The No. 1 in history and the guy most likely to surpass the No. 1 in history compete for the scoring title. The ultimate battle begins!
The Pacers have ended their rest period, and their starting lineup is still their most signature five-man lineup: Lin Tian, ​​Jordan, Christie, Webber and Big Ben!

The Knicks' lineup features a freak of a player: point guard Charlie Ward, shooting guard Alan Houston, small forward Cronus Weatherspoon, power forward Amar'e Stoudemire, and center Othella Harrington!
What can I say about these five people?

It is really old, young, vegetable and rotten!

Not worth mentioning!
In this lineup, except for Houston who is about to retire and Stoudemire who is just starting out, the rest of the players are really not worth mentioning.

Even with just this group of people, Houston was so bad that they didn't play for two months. It was considered an above-average performance that they didn't finish last!
However, the Knicks' starting lineup is not worth mentioning. There are a few people on the bench who look very familiar to Lin Tian.

The Turk, Yao Ming's nemesis Okur, the real-life version of 'Sakuragi Hanamichi' Gerald Wallace, 'Martial Saint' Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, whose tattoos cover almost every corner of his body.

Hiss, this group of people, although they haven't made a name for themselves yet and can only serve as substitutes in the lottery team, but their fighting power is very strong!
If they go to the Bulls to get someone like Artest, they will form a new New York gang!
I don't know how Walsh put together his team, and he only got these weirdos.

Dolan: Who? Who do you want Lin? I'll trade him right now! Get him here right now!

Walsh: What's the lineup? No other reason, it's cheap!

These people are all on minimum salary, which is completely in line with Dolan's plan to save money in the next two years and then make a big investment next summer!

Anyway, according to the Knicks' current salary situation, next summer, which is the off-season of 04, they can free up about... Well, it's not how much salary space they can free up, but how much salary space the Knicks can squeeze out is based on the league's salary cap!
In the summer of 04, they had no contracts other than rookie contracts and minimum salary contracts!

We just have to wait until that year to make a big move!
As for who they are waiting for?
Dolan is now sitting in the front row of Conseco Fieldhouse. Isn't that enough to say it all?

It is precisely because of this guy's unconcealed and unscrupulous behavior that he was booed by fans a lot tonight.

Crazy boo!

Even though the Indians are already prepared for Lin Tian to leave next summer, it's a bit too much for you to play this kind of game in front of us. I'm going to scold you to death!
What stopped the fans from booing Dolan was the referee's whistle to start the game!

Othella Harrington and Big Ben jumped up almost at the same time, but both of them were short and stocky inside players. Big Ben relied on his stronger physique and quicker reaction to win the ball in a rare move!
The basketball immediately came into Lin Tian's hands. After getting the ball, Lin Tian did not hesitate. After observing it for a while, he passed the ball quickly and gave the ball to Jordan who was about to go down.

After getting the ball, Jordan dribbled two steps toward the frontcourt, broke into the three-point line, then suddenly stopped in the mid-range area where he is best, and then jumped up and shot!

The Knicks' defense simply didn't keep up, or it could be said that these lazy guys on the Knicks simply didn't get into the game. They just watched Jordan rush into the inside, then symbolically stretched out their arms, and considered themselves to have completed their defense.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Jordan made a 2-point shot!
"Beautiful! In the first attack, Lin passed the ball to Michael, who was running fast, and assisted him to score the first 2 points of the night. So far, Michael is 14 points ahead of Lin!" Barkley shouted excitedly: "Lin gave Michael an assist right away, showing his generosity and selflessness!"

"Lin also proved with this pass that he doesn't care about being the scoring champion! He only cares about winning! I think Lin will continue to pass the ball to Michael and let him score more."

"The two of them never worry about who will be the scoring champion! The top players don't care about this at all."

Along with Barkley's excited commentary, players from both sides officially started to prepare for a good game.

The Knicks played a pick-and-roll combination. After a pick-and-roll, Ward and Stoudemire quickly moved apart and gave the ball to Stoudemire. Stoudemire slammed the ball on the floor with both hands, and then took off like a rocket.

"boom!"

Facing the best defensive player Ben Wallace, Stoudemire was fearless and completed a violent slam dunk with one hand!
Kenny also shouted loudly: "Here it comes! He's forcing himself! So beautiful! His physical fitness is probably not inferior to Kemp's! Amare Stoudemire! Let us remember this name, let us remember this extremely violent rookie!"

"I'm the same as Kenny!" Barkley followed up, "Amare is my second favorite player in this rookie class! My favorite is Ginobili from Indiana! His breakthrough and spirituality are really unforgettable!"

The two commentators were explaining excitedly, but the subsequent situation on the court was completely different from what Barkley had just said!

After passing the first ball to Jordan, Lin Tian started attacking!

In the next few minutes, he didn't pass the ball to Jordan at all! Instead, Lin Tian shot from inside and outside!

What about comradeship, what about brotherhood, what about not caring about the scoring title, what about passing the ball to Jordan.

No! None!
In the next 5 minutes, Jordan took only one shot, a 3-pointer which he was not good at. As for the result of this shot, there was a dull thud, indicating that it missed.

Lin Tian's goals were like loud slaps in the face of Barkley.

awkward.

Embarrassing in capital letters!
Especially since Barkley claimed that he was the one who knew these two guys best in the league and that he was their best buddy.
结果就是林天第一节比赛9投6中，3分球2投1中，罚球2罚全中，单节拿下了15分！
Jordan made 5 of 2 shots in the first quarter and scored 4 points.

The gap between the two people was narrowed to 1 point!
Jordan is only leading by 1 point!

Barkley's already plump face is even more swollen!

In the first few minutes of the second quarter, neither Jordan nor Lin Tian played. This rotation was completely different from the Pacers' previous games!

In most games before this season, Carlisle would let Lin Tian play the entire first quarter, while Jordan would rest for about 8 minutes in the first quarter and then come back to lead the substitutes in the second quarter. Carlisle would try his best to ensure that every second of the 48-minute game, the Pacers would have at least one of Jordan or Lin Tian in the lineup!
But tonight?
Anyway, Carlisle is lying down now, and he doesn't care what the team's rotation was before, but he decided not to worry about it today!

You two won't tell me what you think, right? Then there's no need to tell me!

Let’s stop doing it!

What regular rotation? You two guys, just go up and down together!

As a result, the Pacers, who were leading the Knicks by 8 points in the first quarter, were quickly caught up by the Knicks in the early second quarter because their core player was not on the court.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the Knicks had narrowed the score to 4:31!

The two sides are only 2 points apart!
At this time, Carlisle had just made a substitution, Lin Tian and Jordan came on the court together. As for how they should play, who should be the main force, what tactics to use and so on, Carlisle did not give any instructions!

Just figure it out, you two are screwed, just figure it out! I don't care!
"Rick, you look a lot like that bastard Larry right now." Lin Tian stood up with a smile and said to Carlisle, "That bastard must be playing the same way now!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he walked straight onto the court and the game continued!
In the first round after returning to the court, Lin Tian changed direction to pass Ward, then rushed to the inside, and made a layup with a pull-up shot against the assisting defense of Stoudemire, and he surpassed Jordan!

"Lin's total score this season is 1 point higher than Michael's!" Barkley is a natural born media person, born to do this job. He completely forgot what he said before, and completely forgot about the swollen face in the first quarter.

If you didn't watch the first quarter of the game and only listened to Barkley's voice at this moment, you would definitely think that he is a firm supporter of "Lin Tian's scoring king"!
"If the game ends at this point, or if Lin and Michael stop scoring, Lin will become the scoring leader of the season!"

"I think the scores of these two people will most likely get worse and worse. Michael's offensive desire is not strong tonight. I think he decided to let his little brother take the lead and let Lin win another scoring title!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to what kind of scoring feast Lin will use next to give back to the fans who support him! This is already Lin's second scoring title. Lin's performance in recent years is really shocking!"

"It is worth mentioning that Lin's current assists per game is 9.4. Unfortunately, he is slightly behind Kidd's 10.1 and only ranks second in the assists list. If he wants to surpass Kidd, he needs to give out at least 50 assists tonight!"

"This is obviously impossible! But Lin was able to work hard tonight and win the second scoring title of his career!"

"Look, Lin dribbled the ball to the front court again and started to speed up. Is he going to expand his lead over Michael again? Rushing into the inside and shooting. This is a pass! The arc of the basketball is wrong, and the basketball went directly to the other side of the basket!"

"FUXX!"

"boom!"

On the court, Lin Tian's pass jumped over the basket and was caught by Jordan who cut in, and then he directly relayed the ball in the air and slammed it!

Lin Tian passed the ball to Jordan again!
This is also the reason why Barkley cursed.

Is he fucking kidding me?

If I say pass the ball, you score. If I say score, you pass the ball.

What's going on? Did you install a monitor in our TNT commentary studio? You can hear everything I say in real time, right?
Even if he was as thick-skinned as Barkley, he couldn't utter a word at this moment. This guy kept his mouth shut, and his eyes seemed to be full of fire.

As for Kenny next to him, he really wanted to laugh, but he had received professional training and he had to hold it back!

But the more he tried to hold back, the more he couldn't hold back. Now Kenny didn't dare to speak. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, he would burst into crazy laughter. He could only pinch his fingers hard, trying to calm himself down. At least he had to finish a complete sentence before laughing!

On the court, Lin Tian and Jordan suddenly started the game.

Lin Tian comes one from the left and Jordan comes one from the right.

Jordan made a mid-range jump shot on this side, and Lin Tian broke into the inside and made a layup on the other side.

Here, Jordan made a strong shot in the low post and caused Houston to foul and made both free throws. Over there, Lin Tian made a layup after a breakthrough.

In the second quarter, these two people scored back and forth, and neither of them gave in. The scores of both of them increased rapidly.

Neither of them snatched each other's things, and neither of them attacked continuously. They just took one at a time.

The fight was so fair and just!
In this case, the two players' total season scores are naturally inseparable, with each chasing the other and changing lanes back and forth.

Sometimes Jordan is on top, sometimes Lin Tian is more!

"I understand! I understand!"

With only 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Barkley suddenly slapped his thigh, indicating that he understood!
"Do you understand how to quickly reduce the swelling on your swollen face?" Kenny tried to hold back his laughter and said, "I really suggest that you think about what you want to say before you speak!"

"Be calm and steady! Think twice before you act!"

"Shut up Kenny, you don't understand Lin and Michael at all! You don't understand their personalities!"

Barkley said proudly: "I just forgot one thing, a small thing!"

"Dignity! And confidence!"

"These two guys are people who value dignity, are extremely confident, and are unwilling to take advantage of others!"

"They are extremely confident and respect each other! So, before such a game, I think the two of them must have talked about it! They must have reached an agreement!"

"And the agreement they reached is most likely a fair fight!"

"How can we have a fair fight? Let Lin first catch up with the 12 points behind Michael, and then after the two of them are on the same starting line, the real showdown will begin! The two of them will charge at the same starting point, and who will cross the finish line first will all depend on who has a higher offensive stability!"

"It's that simple!"

"Don't take advantage of your brothers. If you win, you must win fair and square! If you lose, you must lose with conviction! This is Michael and Lin! This is a duel between men! This is real men! They respect each other!"

"They are brothers! They are buddies! They are each other's best friends, but they are also rivals. They are always eager to defeat each other. They are always competing. The competition between them also makes them better!"

"While they are eager to defeat each other, they also help each other! Whenever the other party is in need, they will be the first one to stand in front of the other and lend a helping hand!"

“This is a true brother!”

You know what, Barkley's words were really tear-jerking. Many fans, especially those in Chicago, couldn't help but shed tears when they thought about how these two men had fought side by side in Chicago many years ago.

Yes! The purest friendship between men is so beautiful!

After Barkley’s words and after everyone listened to his commentary, many people suddenly felt: It doesn’t matter anymore!

Nothing matters anymore, scoring champion, MVP, nothing matters anymore! The best gift for these two brothers is that they can fight together again after parting ways in 97!

This is the charm of basketball! This is competitive sports!

Along with Barkley's touching speech, the competition between Lin Tian and Jordan on the court has become increasingly fierce!
The time in the first half of the game passed quickly, and Lin Tian and Jordan were still fighting! At the end of the first half, Lin Tian had scored 29 points! And Jordan also scored 17 points!
In the second quarter, both of them scored in double digits! At the same time, the two of them tied!

Jordan and Lin Tian’s total season scores are tied!
"A perfect first half! A perfect performance! I think the second half will be the real duel! In the second half, the two people who are truly standing on the same starting line will start the final sprint!" Barkley continued his passionate speech during the halftime break.

Now he felt that his speech today would definitely go down in history!
At the very least, it is the best performance in his personal commentary career!
The voice is expressive, rhythmic, heartfelt and full of emotion!

If the NBA were to select an award for the best commentary moment at the end of the season, Barkley felt that this segment of his would definitely win an award!
Anyway, he is full of confidence!

However, if he were in the Pacers' locker room now, he would definitely not be so confident.

He might even quit the commentary industry.

Because, the atmosphere in the Pacers locker room right now is quite weird!
"Lin? Why are you going to the shower? You have diarrhea, FUXX, what are you doing?" Weber was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized that Lin Tian was still holding a towel, soap, shampoo and lotion, and humming a little tune in his mouth.

"Michael, why are you going to the shower? You have diarrhea, what are you doing?" Then, Big Ben found that Jordan was also holding similar equipment, whistling for unknown reasons, and walking towards the shower room.

"What are you two doing?" Carlisle stood in front of the two men. Are you two drunk? Are you going to take a shower after the second quarter?
"Our game is over." Lin Tian said with a smile: "Don't those people outside want to see us fight to the death for the scoring title? We don't want to play anymore!"

Jordan also said: "Just make up an excuse for us, a sprained ankle, a sprained wrist, a sprained neck or anything else, I don't care."

"I don't care, as long as it's logical and not too far-fetched." Lin Tian nodded, indicating that Jordan was right.

"FUXX! What about the second half of the game? You two will..." Carlisle was halfway through his speech when he suddenly reacted.

Who cares about the second half of the game!

It’s just an insignificant regular season game, so just don’t play it!

Especially when Carlisle thought about how these two stood everyone up, the entire basketball world would react.
Wow, that’s interesting!

Everyone thought these two were going to hold it in for a big one, but they ended up pooping something stinky!
Stimulate! So exciting!
Just like this! Just like this!
Carlisle turned aside and said, "Then you can go wherever you want after you shower and have fun. I'll take care of the press conference and the reporters! But who is this scoring champion?"

“Two decision makers!” Lin Tian said with a smile, “Big D and I, bah! Michael and I have decided that this term will have two decision makers! We’ll talk about it next term.”

"You've got guts!" Weber came over and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Rick, how about I sprain my ankle too?"

"Do you think these are high school students skipping classes? One by one, they all want to run away!"

"Except for these two, everyone else stays here!"

"Why!" There was an immediate wailing in the locker room, everyone wanted to leave work early!
"If you can also average 30 points per game or win some other single event title, MVP or something like that, you can leave early." Carlisle looked at the players who wanted to rebel and said, "If you can't do that, then just stay here and play basketball!"

After Carlisle's words, the entire locker room fell silent. Originally, this group of people just wanted to join in the fun and see if they could gain some advantage, but after realizing that it wasn't working, they quickly backed off and began preparing for the second half of the game!

"The second half of the game will start on time!" After his heroic speech during the halftime break, Barkley is now full of confidence. During the 20 minutes of halftime, this guy kept imagining and predicting how intense the second half of the game would be.

Something about Jordan and Lin each scoring 30 points, something about this scoring title battle maybe going all the way to the buzzer beater, something about it maybe ending up being a comparison of face because the game will be messed up, and maybe in the end it will just come down to who has the nerve to score in garbage time.

In short, Barkley calculated all the possibilities and scenarios he could think of.

But when the starting lineups for both teams were announced in the second half and 10 players walked onto the court, Barkley was completely stunned.

WTF?

Where's Lin? Where's Michael?
What about people?

Where is the person who is fucking the horse?
"Charles, the latest news I just received is that Lin and Michael have chosen to rest due to ankle discomfort. They will not participate in the second half of the game. They will leave the stadium directly to undergo examination." Kenny said this with his last bit of patience and did not let himself laugh out loud.

Kenny wants to laugh just now, just as cool and confident as Barkley was just now.

At the same time, he couldn't help but give Lin Tian and Jordan a thumbs up.

Awesome! They stood up the whole world. In the entire alliance, I'm afraid only these two people dare to do this!

He played so fiercely in the first half, almost like his brains were about to come out, but in the second half, he just ran away?

This counterattack is really awesome!

As for ankle discomfort?
What a ghost!
It was at this time that everyone realized something.

That is: Why do we have to decide who is better between these two people?

They're tied, isn't that okay? (End of this chapter)
