NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

In the second half of the game, Carlisle sat on the bench with deep suspicion of Lin Tian.

Because just after Lin Tian told him those words, he was thinking hard about what kind of competition was so weird.

What kind of top-level national competition was it where a weak team fell behind by 20 points, and then the veteran player successfully inspired the newcomer with a trick that could not be used a second time, and thus reversed the game and defeated the top team in the country?
Unexpected!
Totally unexpected!

Carlisle considered himself to be well-read, no, he had read a lot of books, big and small competitions of all levels, but he really could not imagine that a similar situation would occur.

Could it be that Lin Tian was talking about what’s happening in China, on the other side of the ocean?

Hiss...is it reliable?

Just as Carlisle continued to think and recall what the game and tactics were with deep doubt, the Lakers took the lead!

O'Neal successfully hit Ben under the basket in his first attack! Not only did he hit the hook directly, but he also caused Ben to foul, making it 2+1!

With O'Neal's free throw, the Lakers finally breathed a sigh of relief and once again took the lead in the game!
This season, although O'Neal's diligence is not as good as it was two years ago, and his free throw percentage has dropped again from the peak of nearly 7% to around 6%, but O'Neal has always been very accurate in the key free throws in such crucial games!
This guy is a standard big-game player!

After O'Neal scored 2+1, the Pacers slowly advanced again. Lin Tian was determined to help Jordan get some feel for the game tonight. He waved his hand and asked Jordan to come forward and cover him.

Lin Dan pick-and-roll, first time in this game!
After Jordan and Lin Tian were out of position at the top of the arc, Lin Tian rushed towards the inside with the ball!
The momentary communication error between Kobe and Kirilenko, coupled with Jordan's smart positioning, immediately gave Jordan a good space.

Lin Tian didn't even look back. He pushed the ball back with one hand, and the basketball happened to fall into Jordan's hands near the free throw line.

At this time, Kirilenko and Kobe were at least 2 meters away from Jordan.

Jordan was even able to steady himself with the ball, take a breath, and then shoot leisurely.

The Conseco Center was extremely quiet at this moment. The fans were waiting for that moment to come. They were waiting for Jordan to score a goal in open play.

"Boom!"

But 2 seconds later, the ball still bounced out of the frame!

13 out of 1 shots!
Jordan continued to set new records for the worst night of his career, and his nightmare tonight was destined to continue!

Jordan missed the shot, and Kobe grabbed the rebound and pushed forward. Facing Christie's defense outside the 3-point line, he dribbled the ball between his legs continuously, then suddenly made a fake move of exploding the ball with great force, and then directly collected the ball and forced a shot outside the 3-point line!
"Shh!"

After the crisp sound, Kobe made a 3-pointer!
This is definitely not good news for the Pacers!
Lin Tian was still not in a hurry regarding the Pacers' offense. They were only 4 points behind, so there was no time for him to be anxious.

This time, Lin Tian waved his hand to signal his teammates to provide more off-ball screens.

Jordan also ran continuously in a very cooperative manner, and after continuous screens with Webber and Christie, when he appeared in the low post again, the person defending him became the biggest flaw of the Lakers' defense.

Fisher!
This time, Lin Tian still did not hesitate and passed the ball to Jordan again.

Jordan got the ball, leaned against Fisher with his back, then dribbled towards the inside!
"Boom! Boom!"

After two consecutive head-on physical contacts, Jordan suddenly turned toward the baseline with a fake move to trick Fisher, then he made a half turn in the opposite direction toward the top line, and then jumped up to shoot!

But just as he jumped, Jordan noticed that Kirilenko was running towards him. For some reason, Jordan did not choose to shoot, but threw the ball back to the outside and gave it to Lin Tian.

When Lin Tian got the ball, there were only 3 seconds left for the offense. In addition, Kobe rushed over and stuck to him closely. Even Lin Tian could not find the right shooting space in such a short time. He could only dribble twice and then force a shot against Kobe's defense.

"Boom!"

For this kind of long-distance and difficult shot, whether it goes in or not really depends on luck!
Lin Tian’s luck on this goal was really bad.

The rebound was protected by Malone, and then immediately given to Kirilenko. Kirilenko was now fully confident facing Jordan. He dribbled the ball all the way without looking for his teammates, but went all the way to the Pacers' basket before dribbling the ball.

Jordan didn't fall for it, but stood still with his hands raised. However, the difference between the two in height, body shape, and especially in momentum was still too obvious.

After a series of fake moves, Kirilenko found that Jordan did not put up any high-intensity defense against him, so he did not hesitate to jump up and make an extremely tough shot towards the basket.

"Shh!"

After another crisp sound, the Lakers continued to expand the score.

"Michael, aren't you going to wake up?" Lin Tian took the baseline ball again, and this time Lin Tian finally started talking to Jordan: "You look like a stray dog ​​tonight!"

"Seeing you get beaten like this, I'm actually quite happy. But you're not really going to fight back, are you planning to just go soft? Are you really scared?"

"Shut up! I just don't feel good!" Jordan said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid!"

"Then why did you pass the ball just now? You know that at that distance, the Russian can't block you! But you still passed it."

"What do you care? I'm willing!" Jordan was touched by Lin Tian's thoughts. He immediately cursed and ran away quickly: "Give me the ball, I will get my feeling back!"

"Sorry, you don't have a chance." Lin Tian didn't give Jordan face this time: "At least, I won't pass the ball to you again until you show enough change and determination!"

"If you're satisfied, then you can play defense or go get the rebound yourself. If you're not satisfied, then ask Rick to go down on your own! We don't need a scared wimp on the court!"

"Softie? I'm a softie? You're the fucking softie! Your whole family is a softie!" Jordan cursed when he heard this: "We'll see!"

Lin Tian and Jordan did not lower their voices during their conversation. When they were arguing with each other, they happened to pass by the Pacers' bench, and everyone heard their conversation.

So, starting from Carlisle, to Miller, Parker, Arenas and then to the more marginal bench players, everyone is a little confused at this moment.

what's going on?
Are the two big brothers fighting each other?

Infighting directly on the court?

Don't be kidding...

Carlisle guessed that this might be the trick that Lin Tian mentioned, which can only be used once.

but……

Isn't that just a way of provoking someone?
What's so mysterious about it!

Moreover, for a thing like this, is it necessary to describe it with words like it can only be used once in a lifetime and will become useless after use?
Thinking of this, Carlisle's heart couldn't help but skip a beat again.

This...isn't it just an appetizer?
This bastard Lin Tian, ​​I wonder if he has more surprises and tricks waiting for Jordan.

It's quite scary.

Anyway, at this moment, Carlisle really began to look forward to Jordan's recovery, and it was not even for winning the game. He was a little worried that Lin Tian's so-called "ultimate move" would have too much aftereffect.

His instinct told him that it was not a good thing.

In this round, Lin Tian did not look for Jordan again. Instead, he waved his hand to signal the whole team to move away. Then he quickly broke through Kobe and tore through the Lakers' defense. Then, at the moment O'Neal stepped forward to defend, he passed the ball to Big Ben's arms.

Facing the empty basket, Big Ben was about to take off again when he suddenly felt a huge force coming from his body, and then Big Ben fell to the ground!
Karl Malone!

The villain attacked again. He put his arms around Daben's shoulders from behind and knocked him down!
The Pacers' must-win 2 points were turned into 2 free throws.

"FUXX! You want to get beaten again, don't you, Carl?" To everyone's surprise, the first person to rush forward at this time was Jordan, who seldom appeared in the front line of the conflict. This guy rushed forward ferociously, then pushed Malone on the neck, pushing him back 4-5 steps!
When Jordan was about to rush over again, Big Ben had already climbed up from the floor!

He blocked Jordan, hugged him and said, "Michael! Calm down! Champion, we want the championship!"

As for the three referees, they protected Ma Long as if they were facing a great enemy, staring at Lin Tian with their eyes, looking very cautious, as if they were afraid that Lin Tian would rush over.

"Lin!" Christie and Weber quickly walked to Lin Tian's side, worried that he would impulsively start a fight.

Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Relax, if I want to kill him, no one can stop me!"

"I'm not walking so slowly because I'm going to fight."

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Christie and Weber looked at each other, then made way to let Lin Tian move on.

The entire stadium was quiet at this moment. Except for Jordan who was still cursing and yelling to vent his resentment for his terrible playing, everyone was looking at Lin Tian.

They wanted to see how Lin Tian would deal with this conflict.

The three referees were on high alert, and they were all extremely nervous!
They all knew that if Lin Tian really wanted to beat Ma Long, they would definitely not be able to stop him!
This is a monster who can throw Tyson back and forth like a sandbag!

Untouchable.

As for the fans at the Conseco Center, they were extremely conflicted at this time!

They wanted Lin Tian to rush over and beat Ma Long so badly that he could never stand up again, but they also hoped that Lin Tian would stay calm and not be suspended for this.

Although no one from the Lakers team spoke at this moment, they all came together and stood beside Malone to show their support.

Especially Kobe, the flat-headed guy, who has the worst fighting ability in the team and even in the entire league. This guy stood in the front, looking like he wanted to practice with Lin Tian.

But Kobe was not that reckless. He didn't take the initiative to provoke or take the initiative. He just stood forward.

"I don't think Lin will do anything." Barkley said quickly: "This is the finals! This is a chance to win four consecutive championships! He will endure it."

"But Lin had a fight in the finals before! His opponent at that time was also Malone!" Kenny followed up: "And he and Ben are close friends! The two have been together in the Pacers for 6 years!"

"Lin is likely to act on impulse! He is walking slowly now, maybe he is calculating how to kill as many Lakers players as possible while he is suspended! Just like the time against the Jazz!"

"I don't think so." Barkley shook his head again: "I know Lin."

At this point, the two hosts, who were always talkative and even a little noisy, also became quiet. They were waiting.

So the current situation is that everyone is looking at Lin Tian, ​​waiting for him to decide how this conflict will end!

hiss……

I'm a little embarrassed.

Given the current situation, isn't everyone expecting me, Mr. Lin, to start a fight?

Lin Tian also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. It was too quiet at the moment.

Fortunately, Lin Tian really had no intention of taking action.

In addition to the fact that the Pacers did not suffer any loss after Jordan's push, the main reason was that Lin Tian had matured!

Mr. Lin is no longer the hot-tempered young man who would fight over trivial matters when he disagreed with others.

People, as they get older, tend to become soft-hearted!
For example, Mr. Lin now doesn't have the heart to hit anyone.

When Lin Tian walked to within two meters of Kobe and other Lakers players, he finally stopped. He grinned and said, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not here to fight."

"When playing basketball, one or two flagrant fouls are normal!"

When Lin Tian said this, everyone, including Kobe and the referee, breathed a sigh of relief.

You don't want to fight, why didn't you say it earlier? You were walking towards me slowly from 10 meters away like a Terminator, and I thought you were holding back a big thing!

"However, a flagrant foul requires a flagrant foul!" Lin Tian's smile suddenly disappeared, replaced by a cold tone and eyes. He stared at Ma Long and said, "We are not done with this!"

"We'll see!"

We'll see! We'll see!
As long as you don’t get beaten, as long as you are not thrown into a sandbag on the spot, everything will be fine!
After everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the referee quickly made the decision.

Malone committed a first-level flagrant foul, Jordan committed a technical foul, the Lakers got a free throw, and Big Ben stood on the free throw line for 2 free throws, and the Pacers had an extra ball possession.

2 free throws and 1 throw.

"Swish!" Kobe made the first free throw.

"Lin, I will make the free throw." Ben took a deep breath on the free throw line and said to Lin Tian: "For the championship!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and struck with iron.

"Stop talking and just shoot the free throws." Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Shaq can shoot more accurately with his left hand than you, how can you be ashamed?" "I'm much more accurate than him, okay?" O'Neal relaxed at this moment and started to argue with Lin Tian, ​​"20 percentage points higher than him!"

"Shh!"

As soon as O'Neal finished speaking, Big Ben made his second free throw!

"What's the use? It's just 2 out of 1 free throws, isn't it?" Big Ben snorted, picked up the basketball, and walked to the sideline to prepare to serve.

After a series of continuous screens, Lin Tian successfully caught the ball at the top of the arc again. This time he signaled everyone to move away from him, and then asked Webber to come forward and cooperate with him in a screen!
After Webber blocked Kobe, Lin Tian dribbled the ball quickly towards Malone, then distanced himself from everyone else, not giving the Lakers any chance to switch defense!

"Are you ready?" Lin Tian looked at Ma Long and said, "Are you going to embarrass yourself in front of the whole world again because of me? To be honest, there is actually a way for you to not embarrass yourself."

"That means don't defend or resist. This way I will only score on your head, but there won't be any embarrassing scenes."

Ma Long didn't say anything, but opened his arms and defended with all his strength!
Obviously, even if he originally planned to let Lin Tian score without losing face, now after Lin Tian said this, he had to go all out!

Top football stars still have to have some dignity!

Seeing Ma Long defending with all his might, Lin Tian knew that his first chance for revenge had come!
Continuously dribbling between the legs to find opportunities and rhythm, oppressing the space in which Ma Long defended. Then Lin Tian suddenly made a drastic change of direction in front of his body, pulling the ball from the left to the right, and at the same time moving his feet quickly, tricking Ma Long's center of gravity to the right.

Then Lin Tian made another change of direction dribble with an almost equally huge amplitude and pulled the ball back from the right side!
After this drastic forward turn, Ma Long's center of gravity could not keep up no matter what, and he was nailed to the spot by Lin Tian!

Then Lin Tian took the opportunity to jump sideways to catch the ball, and the distance between the two people was two meters away in the blink of an eye.

Aim and shoot!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian made a 3-pointer!
Ma Long just stood there motionless.

He really couldn't keep up, and his legs really didn't obey him.

At the same time, Ma Long was also very clear that if he had moved one more step, he would most likely have been knocked down by Lin Tian!
Being nailed to the spot is better than being knocked down, right?

Lin Tian: Yes, that’s true, but what if you are nailed to the spot by the same action multiple times in a row?

20 seconds later, same position, same rhythm, same dribble.

Lin Tian completely shook off Malone for the second time in a row and shot in an almost open position outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"

Lin Tian’s three-pointer hit again!

The Lakers' advantage disappeared after this shot!
The Pacers regain the lead!
The Lakers' next offense was very considerately given to Malone, as they wanted this top power forward to find his feeling.

But Malone had just got the ball and hadn't even figured out whether the ball was round or square, when Lin Tian suddenly came out from his blind spot and slapped the ball away. Webber, who was defending Malone, hugged the basketball at the first moment and then raised his elbow to prevent the Lakers from stealing it.

The ball is exchanged! The Pacers attack with the ball!

The basketball continued to be passed to Lin Tian, ​​who continued to play pick-and-roll with Webber and faced Malone on the wing.

The Lakers had no way to deal with the endless pick-and-rolls of the Pacers. Webber's screen quality was too good, and Lin Tian's 3-point shooting was too accurate. Kobe really couldn't squeeze through, and Malone really didn't dare to shrink the defense and ignore Lin Tian's shooting.

Therefore, he could only be nailed to the ground by Lin Tian in the same way for the third time in a row, watching Lin Tian pull himself up and shoot again!
But Malone is a top star after all, he has to save face!

After being hit with the same trick three times in a row, he really couldn't bear it anymore. This time, Ma Long didn't care about not being knocked down, but took a step forward bravely and stepped forward to block Lin Tian's shot.

But just as he jumped, he found that Lin Tian was actually faking a shot, and Lin Tian didn't even catch the ball!

When Ma Long stood up and jumped over, Lin Tian turned around in an instant to avoid Ma Long, then raised his hand again, pretending to shoot.

Malone, anxious to stop Lin Tian, ​​jumped up for the second time to block the shot, but Lin Tian just did a mirror action and dribbled the ball in the exact same direction as before, returning to the place he was just now, and then pretended to raise his hand to shoot again.

This time, Ma Long did not jump again. He stood there, watching Lin Tian sway twice in a row, and did not move forward.

"Coward!" After Lin Tian cursed, he finally took the three-point shot for the third time in a row!
"Shh!"

Still a crisp sound!
Lin Tian's 3-pointer was completely on the rise! And it was a string of them!

The Pacers began to expand their advantage!

Seeing that Ma Long was hit by three people in a row, Jackson decisively chose to change players when he saw that if he continued to fight, this guy would most likely be chased and beaten by Lin Tian!
He took Malone off and replaced him with Fox, who was more mobile than him.

Although Fox is a No. 3 player, his appearance will reduce the Lakers' inside advantage, but considering that O'Neal can dominate the basket alone and Lin Tian's continuous outbursts, Jackson still chooses to make defending Lin Tian the first factor!

The previous power forward who moves faster increases control over the Pacers' outside line, especially over Lin Tian!

Tonight, Lin Tian has obviously made up his mind to continue humiliating Ma Long!

When you come on the court, I will score; when you leave the court, I will organize!
I'm going to get all the points today from you!
Under this circumstance, the two sides started their tug-of-war for a period of time after the third quarter. The scoring efficiency of both sides declined, while the defensive intensity of both sides began to increase significantly.

Until the end of the third quarter, the gap between the two sides did not widen again or change much, and the Pacers still maintained a slight lead.

64: 66!

It is worth mentioning that in the remaining third quarter, although Jordan didn't even touch the ball, let alone shoot, his number of shots remained at 13!
But he did change his game state and game strategy.

He no longer went to the low post or the top of the arc to ask for the ball. This guy gave up the offense and took the initiative to switch defense with Christie, letting Christie defend Kirilenko, while Jordan himself faced Kobe!
The head-to-head confrontation between these two shooting guards officially begins in the fourth quarter!
The one who gained the upper hand this time was Jordan!

Facing Kobe's advancement and personal offense, Jordan put out 120% of his energy and state to fight with Kobe. The confrontation between the two was the biggest among all the matchups in the game. The two tortured each other madly and constantly showed their elbows to each other to show their toughness.

Because Jordan never attacks, he focuses more on defense and his defensive effect is better!
Under his defense, Kobe only scored 3 points in the second half of the third quarter, making only 4 of 1 shots and 2 of 1 free throws!
Kobe obviously doesn't have many ways to deal with Jordan!

In the fourth quarter, coaches from both teams didn't dare to make substitutions!

This is not the time to show off your long rotation lineup and various combinations.

Stability and safety are the most important!
Therefore, the coaches of both teams once again revealed their strongest starting five!

The duel began from the first second of the fourth quarter!

In the first part of the fourth quarter, Jordan still had no intention or idea of ​​attacking with the ball.

He still defended and fought with all his might, defending as if he wanted to crush Kobe directly and to curb Kobe's attack.

But on the offensive end, he is still slacking off and trying to stay healthy.

In other words, Jordan, knowing that he was not in good form tonight and was blocked continuously, decided not to attack tonight!

On the offensive end, Lin Tian decided to give the ball to Jordan several times, but this guy did not choose to shoot or rush forward directly. Instead, he gestured a few times and then passed the ball back.

Although Jordan gave his all on the defensive end tonight and did not let the poor offensive situation affect him, he was truly unaggressive on the offensive end!
It has to be said that although Jordan refuses to admit his age or admit defeat.

But in his heart, he is still very clear that he is already 40 years old.

Otherwise, even if it was the 35-year-old Jordan, he wouldn't be so cowardly.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Jordan once again trapped Kirilenko in the low post, then turned around and moved inside. However, facing O'Neal's assist and Kirilenko's tight defense, Jordan once again chose a one-handed ground pass.

This time the basketball failed to reach his teammates.

Because Kirilenko reacted quickly again and slapped the basketball with incredible accuracy to complete the steal!
Then the Lakers counterattacked again, with Kobe and Fisher on the left and right, Kirilenko dribbled the ball and advanced quickly in the middle, and after passing half court, he chose to pass the ball to Fisher on one side.

After Fisher got the ball, he raised one arm and rushed forward to do a one-arm dunk to show off his physical fitness that he almost never showed.

But Lin Tian under the basket had already returned to defense and jumped high in the air to interfere with Fisher. Seeing Lin Tian's overwhelming defense, this guy was so scared that he didn't dare to continue dunking and quickly passed the ball to Kobe on the other side without even shooting.

Kobe took the ball and took a step forward and jumped up with great determination, but Lin Tian jumped up again after landing, and after a confrontation with Kobe in the air, he successfully interfered with Kobe's layup, and this shot missed again.

But the Lakers have a third man!

Kirilenko jumped high, grabbed the rebound in the air, and then slammed it into the basket!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Kirilenko scored another 2 points!
The Russians are as ferocious as Stalin tonight. Anyone who dares to stand in front of him and show his teeth will be beaten by him so hard that he will run away in fear!

This night is definitely the most shining night in his life!
After the Lakers scored this goal, they once again overtook the opponent!

75: 73!

They took a 2-point lead again.

"FUXX! What the hell are you doing!" After the Lakers hit this ball, Lin Tian was completely furious.

He took the initiative to call a timeout, then waved his hands and yelled at his teammates: "If you don't want to play anymore, get out of here!"

"It's okay if you can't hit the ball on offense! It's okay if you can't make the shot, and it's okay if you don't even have the guts to shoot! But you're not active on defense, what are you doing on the court? Why is it that I'm being outnumbered 3 to 1 at the basket? Did you buy the VIP tickets in the front row to watch the game?"

"Whoever doesn't want to play, whoever doesn't want to defend, just tell me clearly, and you can go down and rest! You don't have to play in this series! FUXX! Now, sign up, whoever doesn't want to play, whoever doesn't dare to play, whoever is afraid, stand up!"

Lin Tian got very angry, which was very rare. The entire Pacers' bench was silent. No one dared to speak a word, and each one was quieter than the other.

After waiting for about 10 seconds, Lin Tian found that no one responded, and then said: "Very good, I will assume that everyone wants to continue fighting, and I will assume that no one is afraid! Then in the next game, I don't want to see this situation happen again!"

"In my team, some mistakes are okay, you can keep making them! But there are some mistakes that I will never allow! I can't tolerate them!"

"What happened just now will only happen this time!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he looked back at Carlisle and said, "Rick, do you have anything else to say?"

"I support it 100%!" Carlisle did not say much at this time, but expressed his support for Lin Tian. He did not make any substitutions, but directly let his starting lineup go onto the court again.

After Lin Tian's scolding, most people on the Pacers team had completely different looks, at least in their expressions and eyes.

They're getting into the zone.

Well, okay, the so-called majority of people actually means everyone else except Jordan.

Jordan remained unmoved, and the guy still looked half dead.

Just as Jordan was walking forward, not knowing what he was thinking, he suddenly felt an extremely sharp pain in his lower body!

Severe pain!
The pain from below the coccyx rushed straight to his forehead, and Jordan felt like his scalp was about to explode!
Sour! Super sour!
Jordan almost jumped up on the spot, covering his butt, and let out an uncontrollable scream.

The whole stadium was quiet.

The fans in front of the TV were stunned.

The noisy Barkley and Kenny stared with wide eyes, watching everything that happened on the court in disbelief.

The referees hesitated, wondering whether to give a technical foul or a flagrant foul.

If this happened between opponents, they would definitely expel them directly.

But between teammates... there is no such precedent.

"Are you awake?" Lin Tian stood up from behind Jordan, his hands crossed and closed, with only a pair of index fingers extended in the shape of a tiger seal. He looked at Jordan and continued, "You look like a coward. I really want to pin you to the ground and beat you up."

"FUXX! What did you do to me? You bastard! You stabbed me... stabbed me... in front of fans all over the world... FUXX! I'm going to kill you!" Jordan went into a rage mode, staring at Lin Tian as if he was going to tear Lin Tian to pieces.

"Don't kill me, go kill that Russian guy, he is the culprit." Lin Tian twisted Jordan's head and made him look directly at Kirilenko.

Carlisle, who was standing off the court, was wide-eyed at the moment.

This is your method, Lin Tian?
In front of the whole world, giving Jordan a thousand-year kill is your way of doing things?
You're such a freaking genius!
At the same time, Carlisle also confirmed that the game that Lin Tian was talking about definitely never happened in the top American league.

Otherwise he wouldn't have known!
Lin Tian: Of course you don’t know. This happened in a Japanese high school league. A red-haired boy did this to a guy who looked exactly like Ewing.

Carlisle, you haven't watched enough games! (End of this chapter)
