NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 433 I have no concept of money and I don’t like money at all!

"This round is extremely important for both sides! Looking at Lin's appearance, he obviously wants to use the 24-second offensive time to the limit before choosing to attack, leaving the Nets with as little time as possible to attack."

Barkley spoke very quickly, analyzing the current situation for everyone.

"If the Pacers can score this goal, they can at least get a 3-point advantage. As long as they don't make any stupid or low-level mistakes, they can at least ensure that they don't lose in regular time."

"But if they can't score, then the Nets' chance will come! With a 1-point difference, there are so many things the Nets can do and what options they can make!"

"Let's see how this exciting game will end!"

While Barkley and Kenny were talking, Lin Tian had already dribbled the basketball to the frontcourt. He moved very slowly and almost crossed the half court on the verge of an 8-second violation.

But just when everyone thought that he would continue to compress the time and use up the 24 seconds of offensive time as much as possible before taking a shot, Lin Tian suddenly moved!
It was still his signature attack step coupled with a change of direction dribble. Although Kidd's lateral movement was top-notch and he reacted immediately and caught up with Lin Tian, ​​he could only keep up with this one move!

Next, Lin Tian suddenly dribbled the ball from behind at an incredibly fast speed and flashed past Kidd in the blink of an eye!
Kidd, who is known as one of the top three defensive players in the league at the point guard position, was easily defeated by Lin Tian!

After passing Kidd in one step, the entire Nets' defense was immediately in a state of panic. At the same time, because Lin Tian's start was too sudden, no one had time to communicate with each other, so Carter, Yao Ming and Kittles all subconsciously retreated at the same time, trying to prevent Lin Tian's breakthrough!
Just when the three of them moved at the same time and found that their teammates had the same reaction, before they even realized how big a mistake they had made, Lin Tian had already passed the ball!

He made a light through pass to Jordan on the wing. Even if Kittles turned around and tried his best to chase back, it was too late!

Mid-range shots are Jordan's world! Even if he only scored 23 points tonight and his hit rate was just over 4%, at this moment, Jordan would not be soft!

"Shh!"

With a clean jump shot, the basketball went into the pocket accurately!

Lin Tian once again gave the whole world a surprise with his rhythm!
It took him 8 seconds to cross half court, but only 4 seconds to complete the attack!
From slow to fast, from steady to charge!
In just a blink of an eye, Lin Tian can complete the switch!
The Nets were fooled, and Barkley was fooled again!

"It's amazing! I never thought that time difference could be played and played like this!" Kenny said from the bottom of his heart: "I'm beginning to doubt now, is the No. 1 position played by me and that bastard Lin really the same position?"

111: 114!

Last 23 seconds!
The good news is that they still have a lot of time, but the bad news is that they failed to defend the Pacers' attack this time.

As for Kidd, although he really wanted to prove that he could go fast or slow as he pleased like Lin Tian and had excellent control ability, he no longer had this opportunity.

Because now the Nets have no choice, they must play fast!
Nets head coach Scott also quickly called a timeout. Theoretically, he still has many options.

A quick 2 points and then a penalty shootout, betting on the Pacers to miss free throws.

Or just go all out to find a 3-point opportunity.

But no matter what he chooses, what the Nets have to do this time is to hit the ball!

If you can't hit, then forget it!
On the Pacers side, Carlisle was also cautiously and quickly arranging defensive tactics.

To put it simply, give them 2 points instead of 3 points. It is better to watch them take open shots and never dive too hard. No matter what, the Nets cannot be allowed to go to the free throw line at this time!
In terms of lineup, Carlisle also fielded his most defensive and mobile five-man team!
Big Ben, Christie, Jordan, Ginobili, Lin Tian!
They have to defend this ball!

The Nets only changed one person from the starting lineup, replacing Gasol with Harrington, who has a longer shooting range and is more flexible.

Theoretically, this lineup is also a set of 1 big and 4 small ones!
At least judging from the lineup, Scott is going to bet directly on 3 points!

"This choice is actually normal!" Barkley said, "After all, the Pacers have too many players who can shoot free throws accurately! They can even field five players with a free throw shooting percentage of over 5%. What they are least afraid of is foul tactics!"

"Betting directly on 3 points is actually the most reasonable and reliable choice!"

"Not necessarily." Kenny said: "Yao has the ability to kill in the basket, and Carter, Harrington and Kittles can also break through. The Nets are likely to use the lineup to confuse the opponent, making the opponent think they are going to shoot, but in fact they are going to make a quick 2 points!"

"We'll see!" Barkley took a look at the court and did not continue to argue with Kenny. Instead, he said with great anticipation: "The game begins! Kidd is standing on the sidelines, and he will serve the ball! But the Pacers did not send anyone to interfere with his free throws. Everyone is in defensive position and ready to defend!"

"A safe choice! Not being aggressive and not trying to steal the ball will also make your defense more stable and less likely to be vulnerable!"

"Dudu!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the Nets players suddenly started running in all directions, looking for opportunities to attack.

As Barkley said, three players of the Nets were running towards the three-point line, and they were obviously going to do something outside the three-point line.

But Lin Tian suddenly realized something was wrong. He found that Yao Ming had been constantly squeezing Ben's defensive position and pushing all the way to the inside. Now he had already reached the basket!

As for Big Ben, he was completely stuck behind him!

Then Lin Tian decisively gave up roaming around the top of the arc, and instead turned around quickly and ran towards the basket!

Almost at the same time as him, an orange basketball was flying towards the basket!

Sure enough, Kidd's pass flew towards Yao Ming who was about to get into position in the inside!
The Nets must get 2 points first in the shortest time!
If Yao Ming could score the goal directly after receiving the ball, the Nets' attack might not even take 2 seconds!
An absolutely cost-effective choice!

But unfortunately, Lin Tian discovered it!

Yao Ming received the basketball under the basket, then arched his shoulder, turned sideways, and then used his special move of a sideways jump hook!
There was no way Ben could interfere with this ball no matter what. Not only that, if Yao Ming was unlucky and missed the shot, the rebound would probably have been taken by Yao Ming!

The position is too deep and the height advantage is too obvious!

At this moment, Da Ben could do nothing but pray.

Then, Daben saw Lin Tian!
Lin Tian is like a divine soldier descended from the sky!
No one knew from what angle this guy came running, he ran all the way to Big Ben's back, then gathered all his strength and jumped up with all his might.

"Lin jumped too high!" Kenny yelled in disbelief, because he felt that the tip of Lin Tian's head was about to touch the backboard!

"Snapped!"

Then there was a crisp sound that was enough to make the whole New Jersey cry. Yao Ming's shot was slapped by Lin Tian and flew directly outside the three-point line. Ginobili reacted the fastest. This guy suddenly appeared like a snake and pushed the ball to the frontcourt.

This push made all the Nets players lose their position with the basketball, and they had no time to change direction a second time to chase the basketball!

From the perspective of wasting time, Ginobili's slap can at least allow the team to waste 2 more seconds!

From the actual effect point of view, this shot basically secured the victory for the Pacers!

Because Jordan rushed out, he grabbed the basketball, then dribbled all the way. After he reached the Nets' basket, he did not shoot. Instead, he looked back while dribbling the ball, and then suddenly passed the ball to the top of the arc.

Lin Tian, ​​who had just run here, grabbed the basketball, then dribbled and accelerated again, and started running wildly in the direction where there were the least Nets players!
After being forced into a dead corner, Lin Tian jumped up and passed the ball to Ginobili who had already cut to the basket. Ginobili didn't even stop after getting the ball, but directly pushed it to Jordan on the other side.

This time, Kidd finally predicted the direction of the Pacers' pass and caught up! He stood next to Jordan and committed the foul immediately!
But more than half of the game time was consumed!

There were 22 seconds left when Lin Tian blocked the shot, and when Kidd finally fouled Jordan, there were only 9 seconds left in the game.

A full 13 seconds were completely wasted by the Pacers' mad rush.

And then, as long as Jordan made one free throw, the game would basically be over!

But for Jordan, how could he fail at this time?

"Shh! Shh!"

With two consecutive crisp sounds, Jordan made both free throws, and the gap between the two sides was widened to 2 points!
In the last 9 seconds, although Scott called a timeout and arranged the tactics carefully, it was obvious that everyone knew that this was just a last-ditch effort.

After the timeout, the basketball was passed to Carter, but the Pacers' defense did not relax at all. Jordan blocked the space and angle of Carter's three-point shot, but did not let him break through.

Carter didn't want to go in and get a suicidal 2 points, so he chose to pass the ball quickly and gave it to Kidd. When Kidd got the ball, he had no choice but to take a direct 3-point shot.

"Boom!"

As the sound of iron hitting the target spread throughout the stadium, this extremely intense game finally came to an end!

Next, Big Ben grabbed the rebound and waited for the time to run out.

At this time, the Nets no longer needed to continue committing fouls and sending players to the free throw line.

The outcome is decided!

The Pacers, with a 5-point advantage, narrowly defeated their opponents in the first game of the series!

Got a hard-fought victory!

The Conseco Center was filled with cheers again, and the fans celebrated wildly once again!

This game really put the heavy burden of their hearts to rest.

After all, it is true that Lin Tian flew nearly 20,000 kilometers back and forth in a few days. He ignored the fatigue of the journey and the pain of jet lag, and left the team between two rounds of series to receive the award. Even Indiana fans felt a little uncomfortable about this.

Are we not important?

We can't compete with that bullshit award? It doesn't matter if we lose at home, right?
Of course, there is more worry.

What if Lin Tianzhen is completely out of form? Does he need to play at the airport to get back to his MVP level?
It is normal for people to have such concerns.

But after this game, all problems were dispelled, all doubts became redundant, and all worries were groundless.

Impact status?
他都单场23投11中，3分球7投2中，罚球13罚11中，轰下35分10篮板12助攻2抢断2盖帽了，他状态还能怎么不好？

He scored 2 points, 4 rebound, 1 assist and 1 block in the last 1 minutes. Every score and every defense of the team was closely related to him, especially the bloody block that destroyed all the fantasies of the Nets, which directly ignited the entire stadium!
That's it, and you say he is in bad condition?
Well, if you must say it, Lin Tian's shooting percentage was less than 50%, his 3-point shooting touch was not very good, and he missed two free throws. Tonight's game was definitely not his best performance.

I only achieved 90% of the standard!

It can only be said that 90% of Lin Tian’s level is better than almost everyone in this alliance.

This is MVP!

Journey, jet lag, fatigue, and overly busy schedule, none of these can affect his condition at all!
He can still step onto the court and wreak havoc at any time!

After this game, countless Lin Tian haters turned off the TV in tears.

They looked at the champagne, fried chicken, beer, pizza and hamburgers in front of them and fell into silence.

FUXX!
eat! Must eat!
Just consider it a consolation prize!
There was also a small group of "Lin Hei" who chose to hesitate at this time.

They felt that the price paid to Hei Lintian was too high, and they were slapped in the face and disappointed every day.

Lin Tian’s style of play, his playing style, and his calm and cold-blooded appearance at critical moments are truly fascinating.

otherwise.
Why not join Lin Tian’s fan family?
Of course Lin Tian had no idea that such a rare game that attracted so much attention and anticipation from fans and haters could actually help him defeat so many people. In a sense, that game with 3 points in 73 quarters did not achieve this effect!

All I can say is that special competitions under special circumstances really have extra special significance!

"I can do that too!" In Los Angeles, Kobe turned off the TV. He had just finished watching the game. Before watching the game, Kobe was full of expectations! He was looking forward to Lin Tian playing a game that was worse than shit!
As an NBA player, he knows too well how much impact continuous flying and jet lag have on a person. Why is it difficult to play away games? Why do consecutive away games back-to-back make people desperate?
Here's why!
Normally, if a player flies such a long distance in a short period of time and then has to play a game of the level of the Eastern Conference Finals, he will definitely be in trouble!

But after Kobe watched the game with anticipation, all he could say was one sentence.

I can too!

Isn’t it just a matter of rushing around?

It's nothing! I can do it too! There's nothing I can't do!
At the post-match press conference, Lin Tian once again did not disappoint the reporters. From the moment he sat in his seat, he did not avoid any questions.

"A difficult but beautiful victory! Lin, what do you think this game means to you?"

"It got us to the Eastern Conference Finals opener, that's it."

"So did you encounter any hardships in this game?"

"The Nets played very well and played very hard. They are an opponent that we respect. Their tenacity is within our expectations, so we have made sufficient preparations. Everything is expected, and all difficulties are planned. They are great opponents and they brought us a great game together."

After these two assembly-line-like questions at the beginning, the reporters could no longer control their desire to stir up trouble and went straight to the point!
"Lin, before this competition, you flew a total of 17832 kilometers round trip. May I ask what effect this exaggerated mileage had on you? Did your condition suffer greatly because of such a long flight distance?"

"Shouldn't you ask me this question before the game?" Lin Tian smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now that the game is over, whether it has affected my condition or not, isn't it obvious at a glance?"

"If I have to say it has an impact, it's probably when I'm shooting. I missed one or two shots tonight! But when I usually practice too hard before the game, my shoelaces are not tied properly, my elbow straps are a little off, I eat two more chicken breasts, or I sleep 30 minutes less at night."

"These actions may cause me to miss one more shot or make one more unnecessary mistake in a game."

"That's how the so-called long-distance travel affects me. It's not a problem for him at all."

"Then why did you choose to fly to Monaco at this time to receive the Laureus Award?"

"Because the award ceremony is held at that time. To be honest, I hate the time they hold it too. The timing is terrible!"

Lin Tian's answer made the reporters curse at him, but the curse was not directed at Lin Tian, ​​but at the reporter who asked the question.

How do you become a reporter? Can you ask questions?
When my grandma comes, she asks better questions than you!
"I have specifically looked into this 'Lawrence Award'. It is just a new award that has only been around for three years. It has no credibility and no recognition. Its only label at the moment is that it is rich!"

"To put it bluntly, this is a fake award organized by a rich person. Why do you insist on participating in and receiving such an award that has no gold content at this time?"

"First of all, it's not just one award, I received several awards." Lin Tian first made a joke with a smile, then cleared his throat, he was about to start his performance!

This is written in the contract. He has won so many awards and earned so much money, so of course he has to help the sponsors promote the company when necessary!

If you get paid, you have to be dedicated to your work!
"Secondly, does an award have credibility, influence, and value? What are the standards and thresholds? You say it doesn't have any, and I say it does, so does it have any or not?"

"I'm not trying to make a tongue twister. What I'm trying to say is that 'Lawrence' is just young. Its youth has caused it to suffer a lot of criticism that it shouldn't have suffered. Its youth has also made people disrespect it. Its youth has also made many people think that this award is just a joke, a thing that a rich man decided to come up with on a whim."

"But the point is, which award in the world today can gain unparalleled attention and influence when it is first established? None! As far as I know, all the most important and credible awards in the world today have developed step by step from scratch."

"After this trip to Monaco, I have witnessed the professionalism and seriousness of the 'Laureus' officials, as well as their sincerity and determination! I believe they are well prepared. They have prepared everything and are ready to face difficulties."

"They have the determination and perseverance to do their best to make the Laureus Award a benchmark, a symbol and a grand ceremony that all sports people look forward to!"

"I think that in three years at most, this award will be recognized by the majority and will become one of the biggest expectations of countless people every summer. At the same time, it will also become one of the most coveted awards and honors for all sports people!"

"Apart from all this, I am very proud and happy to have won the 'Laureus' Award!"

Well, very happy!
Especially the part about signing a contract and getting the endorsement!

"Lin, your in-depth cooperation with Richemont and Daimler Group, whether it is the timing, the way of announcement or your choice to attend the awards ceremony during the season, is too coincidental. I want to ask, is there any connection between this cooperation and your participation in the 'Laureus' Awards this time?"

A reporter finally asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

They were very curious. They wanted to know how Lin Tian would deal with such a sharp and unfriendly topic. They were also looking forward to how Lin Tian would respond to this obviously provocative question.

"It doesn't matter at all! I won't fly nearly 20,000 kilometers just for a few endorsements."

"Money doesn't matter to me at all. I don't care about that stuff at all."

"I participated in the Laureus Awards because I think this award is very valuable and the organizers are very professional and sincere. I think this is a good opportunity to promote sports."

"Other than that, there is no other reason! It has nothing to do with superficial and vulgar reasons like money and exposure!"

"If I have to describe it, we are soul mates. We are in tune with each other. Somehow, I was supposed to receive the award. It's that simple!"

Simple?
Bullshit!

The reporters below didn't believe a single word of Lin Tian's words.

How shameless! How can you lie like that? Your going to Morocco has nothing to do with the tens of millions of dollars in profits every year?
What a ghost!
No, even ghosts don’t believe it!
Isn’t it said that people who play basketball or do other sports are straightforward and honest people?

Bullshit!

Lin Tian is a person who has nothing to do with being straightforward!

This person shamelessly crossed the bottom line.

To be honest, the reporters had thought about Lin Tian’s various reactions and the various excuses he would make.

For example, directly admitting, indirectly admitting, saying that there is a little relationship but it is generally just a coincidence, saying that the cooperation has been discussed for a long time and it was only this awards ceremony that facilitated the cooperation, and so on.

But they really didn't expect that Lin Tian would deny it so directly and shamelessly. Lin Tian's pure eyes were like a 5-year-old child who stole 100 US dollars from his parents' pocket, spent 1 US dollar of it, and then put 99 US dollars back into his parents' pocket.

When their parents find out, the children will say with an innocent look: That dollar was lost.

Lin Tian expressed at this time: I don’t care about money, endorsements and awards have nothing to do with it.

What a wonderful way to achieve the same purpose with different approaches!
They are all talking nonsense with open eyes.

The difference is that the child really thinks that he can fool his parents with this sentence.

But Lin Tian looked so arrogant that it was obvious that he didn't think his nonsense could fool anyone.

To put it bluntly, it's shameless!

I, Mr. Lin, am shameless! I have no shame!
What are you doing to me?

Although Lin Tian has the highest contract amount in the league, and can even take away more than 3000 million US dollars in the next season, and although Lin Tian’s sneaker contract is the largest in history, and although the income that Lin Tian’s endorsements can bring him in a year is almost astronomical, people say that money is not important, he does not love money, and he does not like money.

What can you do?
There is nothing we can do!
But no matter what the media thinks of Lin Tian, ​​or whether they believe his lies, one thing is certain.

That is, this so-called long journey and 20,000-kilometer flight did not bring any debuff to Lin Tian.

This guy is really a monster!

Therefore, the front-page headlines of various newspapers the next day were not reports like Lin Tian scored 35 points and a triple-double, or his fatal block ended the Nets' hopes of winning.

The next day, the front pages of many newspapers were strikingly similar.

What can stop Lin from continuing to explode?

"If Earthlings can't do it, what about Saiyans?"

"After flying 2 kilometers, he delivered a perfect answer. What is Lin's limit?"

"What other incredible things can Lin do? Maybe Lin can get 2 points by drinking 40 bottles of whiskey before the game!"

"Lin's limit has already been exceeded!"

"Even if Lin flew to Namek to fight Frieza and then returned to Earth, he could still get 50 points!"

"Is there anyone on Earth who can stop Lin?"

"The speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, the dominance of a tiger, the vision of an eagle, and the croaking of a crow. This is Lin!"

Lin Tian blushed after reading the news reports after the game.

What are you doing? You are blowing so hard!

I, Mr. Lin, still like the rebellious look on your face when I was on the plane.

It's so boring that he was defeated just like that.

Also, who is that psychopath who asked me to go to Namek and fight Frieza?

According to that worldview, even if Mr. Lin is not a weak fighter, at best he is only a weak 7th or 10th fighter.

Any more would just be bragging.

As a human being, you must seek truth from facts and have self-knowledge!

However, in the second game of the series, Lin Tian still revealed the impact this ultra-long-distance flight had on him.

How was it exposed?
In the second game of the series, Lin Tian is in full swing!
他前三节比赛24投14中，3分球6投3中，罚球7罚6中爆砍37分8篮板8助攻的准三双数据，率领球队以78：87的比分领先篮网队9分进入第四节！

Then, in the middle of the fourth quarter, Carter and Kidd teamed up to explode, and after a burst of scoring, they directly reversed the score, making the score between the two sides 92:88, and then Lin Tian took action!
First, he made a 3-pointer to stabilize the situation for the team, and then he successfully assisted in defense, causing Carter to commit an offensive foul.

Then Lin Tian forced a shot under the basket against Yao Ming, and while he scored 2 points, he also caused Yao Ming to commit his sixth foul of the night!
After scoring 6 points in a row, Lin Tian successfully led the team to overtake the score!
Then the Nets immediately started to double-team Lin Tian. Kidd and Kittles started to double-team him non-stop from the moment Lin Tian crossed half court!
Under this kind of defense, Lin Tian began to show his terrifying vision and passing ability again!
To say he got a few assists doesn't do him justice.

We have more exaggerated ways to describe Lin Tian's freehand and relaxed style.

In less than 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Kidd was passed through the crotch by Lin Tian once, and Kittles was passed twice!
Another time, Lin Tian forced the ball into the basket from the tiny space between two people and assisted Ben in a dunk!

Another time, Lin Tian was surrounded by Kidd and Kittles before he even crossed half court. They wanted to launch a surprise attack to make Lin Tian commit an 8-second violation, but they didn't expect that the basketball was no longer in Lin Tian's hands as soon as the two men rushed up!
"boom!"

This loud bang is Jordan's gift to the people of New Jersey!
98: 112!

At the end of the game, the Nets lost by a full 14 points!
In other words, they only scored a total of 6 points in the last half of the game and were beaten by the Pacers 6:24!

而林天的数据，也变成了43分10篮板14助攻3抢断2盖帽！

At the same time, while being double-teamed by Kidd and Kittles, Lin Tian incredibly did not make even a single mistake!
Facing two top defensive players in the league, Lin Tian’s response and handling can definitely get full marks!

And Lin Tian’s outburst also fully illustrates one thing.

In the last game, his condition was really not very good, or it should be said that he was not at 100% full condition.

Today's game is the real full-state mode!

Kill crazy!

Regarding Lin Tian’s performance today, Jordan’s attitude when he was interviewed after the game was the most intuitive and telling.

"It's all within our expectations. What he did was what we expected."

"I still remember the 98 Eastern Conference Finals. He ignored the double team on Scott and me and beat us both to pieces."

"Compared to me and Scott, what is Jason and Kittles' defense?"
