NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

This night was destined to be full of entertainment. The fans and the media's attention was not even focused on Jordan's brilliant buzzer-beater.

Isn't it just an open jump shot?

Not worth mentioning, totally not worth mentioning!
Compared to this open jump shot, everyone is obviously more interested in Lin Tian’s two-handed shot... ahem!

So exciting!

Some people even started to investigate whether Lin Tian had any dirty stuff on his hands...

Anyway, tonight, Lin Tian witnessed the ability of American netizens and media to make trouble.

Although Jordan hit the buzzer-beater that night, he absolutely did not want to recall anything about that night again!

"Lin, if you do that to me again, I will kill you!" In the locker room the next morning, Jordan came to the locker room early, and before the rest of the staff arrived, he threw all the newspapers that the staff had placed next to the locker into the trash can.

Then he saw Lin Tian, ​​the second person to come to the locker room.

"What if we're about to lose? Can't we use it?" Lin Tian blinked his pitiful big eyes and looked at Jordan with a harmless look.

Suppress the fire. Suppress the fire. Suppress the fire.

Jordan kept repeating in his heart!
With great difficulty, he suppressed the temptation to hit Lin Tian on the head with the fire extinguisher.

"If you dare to do this to me again, I'll get someone to shoot you in the head! You're just good at fighting, but your skin is not bulletproof, right?" Jordan suppressed his anger and threatened Lin Tian.

“Alright alright.” Lin Tian raised his hands in surrender. “One last question. If you begged me to give you another blow, and I gave you another blow, would you still hire a killer to kill me?”

"FUXX! There is no such if! I'd be crazy to...FUXX! If you mention this again, I'll kill you!" Jordan was now completely in rage mode, and he started to scold Lin Tian again.

What can Lin Tian say about this?

He shrugged and said nothing more.

Instead, he took out a newspaper from his backpack and started reading.

From this angle, Jordan couldn't see what the front page Lin Tian was looking at.

But he could see a line of words written in large letters and a photo printed on the last page of the newspaper.

The words read: Michael Jordan's soul was pierced by Lin! The buzzer-beater was all thanks to this!
Needless to say, the accompanying picture was an epic scene where Jordan was ambushed by Lin Tian and almost flew into the air.

FUXX!

Jordan glanced at the trash can in the corner. Oh my god, I just threw away all the newspapers, and this bastard took another one?
"Forest!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Tian stuck his head out and looked at Jordan curiously.

"Lend me the newspaper." Jordan stretched out his hand, indicating that he also wanted to read the newspaper.

He knew very well that if he told Lin Tian directly that he didn't want this kind of newspaper to circulate in the locker room, Lin Tian would not only 100% refuse, he would also immediately buy 100 copies and let the entire team from top to bottom have this newspaper.

So, take a detour to save the country!

I'm so damn smart!

"Didn't the uniform team deliver the newspaper today? What a bunch of lazy bastards." Lin Tian muttered and handed the newspaper to Jordan, then he stretched and began to change his clothes.

As for Jordan, he took advantage of Lin Tian's inattention, rolled up the newspaper, and hid it in his locker.

In the next 20 minutes, the Pacers players arrived one after another, but no one was in a hurry to change clothes and start training.

Because the last game went badly, everyone voluntarily came to the training hall more than an hour early, so there was plenty of time now.

"Where's the newspaper? Why weren't there any newspapers delivered today? How am I going to go to the toilet later? Play that damn Snake?" Weber's voice was the first to come over. This guy obviously wanted to glance at the newspaper out of habit, but found nothing.

Then Big Ben, Christie, Parker, Ginobili and others discovered that there were really no newspapers on their seats.

Where is the newspaper?
A group of people looked at each other in bewilderment. Even a few people who usually didn't read newspapers began to become curious.

Jordan, sitting in his chair, was feeling very proud at this moment.

Fortunately, I had foresight, otherwise, wouldn't you bastards have come to the locker room to laugh at me?
"Michael has a copy." Lin Tian suddenly said, "Chris, you can borrow it from Michael."

"Lost it." Jordan didn't even think twice and lied, "Maybe when you go to the bathroom later, you can play Tetris on my phone."

Don't even think about it!

Today's newspapers cannot be circulated in the locker room!
Just when Jordan was feeling extremely proud and thought he was extremely clever, what Lin Tian did next completely stunned him.

"Lost it? It's okay, I have another one here." Lin Tian opened his backpack, took out another identical newspaper from it, and handed it to Weber: "Does anyone else need it? I saw that the old lady selling newspapers today looked very pitiful, so I bought 20 copies at once."

“Everyone has it if they need it!”

As Lin Tian spoke, he began to take out newspapers from his backpack like a magician and distributed them to everyone without saying a word.

One, one, and another.

One after another.

Endless!

Jordan even watched Lin Tian place a newspaper on the seats of Carlisle, Miller and other coaching staff members and the team medical team.

This bastard definitely prepared more than 20 servings!
Jordan looked at Lin Tian and felt his hands shaking.

Looking at the locker room where everyone had a copy of the newspaper and almost jumped up after being poked in the butt by Lin Tian, ​​Jordan felt that his blood pressure had gone through the roof.

When has he ever experienced this in his life?

But Lin Tian looked like a philanthropist at the moment, and he even handed a newspaper to Jordan.

"Michael, do you still need this? I think you do. You didn't really look at that one, did you?"

Looking at Lin Tian's pure eyes, sunny smile and handsome face, Jordan wanted to reach for the fire extinguisher next to him for the 1802nd time and hit Lin Tian's nose hard a few times.

Can’t win, can’t win, can’t win, can’t win.

Jordan once again gave himself some psychological counseling in his heart and calmed himself down.

No, I can't calm down at all!

If you take a step back, you will suffer a loss; if you endure it, the more you think about it, the angrier you will be!
Then Jordan pushed Lin Tian away, and pulled Arenas, who was laughing and reading the newspaper, over and said, "Let's go Gilbert, one-on-one! Let's have some fun today!"

Damn, make you laugh! Make you happy!
I hope you can still laugh later, you bastard.

"I haven't changed my shoes yet, let me get them, wait a minute, Michael, wait..." Poor Arenas was dragged away, and the entire locker room became quieter.

Lin Tian finally finished distributing the newspapers, stretched his body and said, "Let's go and take a look, lest Gilbert be beaten to death by Michael."

Almost an hour later, Arenas, who was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, formed a sharp contrast with Jordan, who was just sweating a little and chewing gum. Carlisle looked at the two men curiously, not understanding what was wrong with these two guys.

But he didn't say much. He believed that these people knew what was going on and wouldn't go too far. He sat there and began to arrange the team's tactics for the second game.

"After the last game, Michael threatened to give the Russians a good beating. The Lakers will also guard Michael very closely. They will probably double-team him from the start of the game."

"So, in the second game, Michael, you play as the feint point! Get the ball in the low post, attract double-teams, and then pass it to your teammates!"

"If they don't double-team you, then you should teach that Russian a lesson and let him know how powerful you are!"

"Lin, you keep an eye on the situation on the court and see what the Los Angeles players are going to do. If they are so nervous that they guard Michael tightly when he has no ball, then you will tear their defense apart!"

"As for the rest, we'll just improvise during the game!"

"Okay guys, seriously, Michael only shot 16 of 3 in the last game. He couldn't be any worse, and even so, the Lakers couldn't beat us!"

"In the second game, Michael recovered and they had no chance!"

"Let's go to Los Angeles with a score of 2:0! Let's go and kill the people of Los Angeles with the goal of sweeping them!"

"Kill the Angelenos! Kill the Angelenos!"

"2:0!"

"Sweep them!"

"They couldn't win even if Michael shot 16 of 3, so how could they win!"

"Michael can beat them up even if he eats shit. We're going to win!"

"Michael can poop and eat at the same time, and he can beat them until they pee blood!"

"The Lakers are shit. Even if Michael can't play as well as my grandma, he can still beat them!"

"Michael... why are you all silent?" Lin Tian was shouting slogans excitedly, when he suddenly realized that everyone else had become quiet. No one was talking and everyone was just looking at Lin Tian quietly.

"Lin, do you believe that I will kill you?" Jordan's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Damn you bastard, I asked you to shout slogans to boost the team's morale, what are you doing?

Does it boost morale?

Damn it, this is all just damn personal grudges!
There's no other shit!

"You think I can't hear you taking this opportunity to scold me?"

Looking at Jordan's unhappy expression, Lin Tian said without thinking: "Michael, you are definitely overthinking it! How could I take this opportunity to scold you?"

"I don't even need to find an opportunity to scold you. I can start anytime!"

"I will never do anything like taking advantage of the opportunity to embarrass you! We are brothers, you have to believe me!"

Believe it or not!

Jordan rolled his eyes and decided not to say another word to Lin Tian. He pulled Miller over and said, "Reggie, come with me to practice shooting. I was terrible in the last game. Help me find what I need to improve on."

"If you follow my standards, your shooting needs to be retrained. It's terrible, no different from garbage! But there are only two days, so it's too late to retrain. I will try my best to help you improve and see if you can reach 70% of my level."

When Miller heard that Jordan took the initiative to find him, how could he miss such a good opportunity? While muttering to Jordan, he walked towards the court with Jordan with a smirk on his face.

Jordan endured Miller's sarcasm!

Who made him play so badly in the last game?
Who made Lin Tian's mouth stink so bad?
Anyway, compared with Lin Tian, ​​Miller's words were not trash talk. At most, they were just a few swear words.

It has no effect on Jordan at all!

As long as he is not with Lin Tian, ​​Jordan will not be angry, and he will feel that the whole world is beautiful!

Going to practice shooting.

"Don't be too intense! Remember to rest!" Carlisle looked at the backs of Jordan and Miller and quickly gave orders, telling these two guys not to get too excited and drain their stamina gauge.

There is a game tomorrow!
After Jordan and Miller left, the other members of the Pacers also dispersed. Some practiced strength, some practiced shooting, some practiced dribbling, in short, everyone had their own things to do.

This is also Carlisle's training method during the playoffs.

You guys just practice your own thing and just keep in shape and sweat.

The important thing is to save your physical strength and energy for the competition!

……

A day later, the Conseco Center was still full, marking their 49th sold-out game of the season with 100% attendance.

Well, that means all their regular season and playoff tickets this season are sold out!

Looking at the entire league, this attendance and ticket sales are undoubtedly number one!

Their average ticket price is slightly lower than New York and Los Angeles, but apart from these two teams, it is the Pacers' turn! Their average ticket price is also the third highest in the league!

The box office impact brought by the duo of Lin Tian and Jordan is so immediate!
In this game, both coaches did not change their starting lineups, and the previous ten players still took to the court together.

The second game of the series, a crucial battle for both sides, begins!
O'Neal still had the upper hand in the jump ball. He passed the ball to Kobe, then quickly ran down the court. After reaching the basket, he backed up Ben and reached out for the ball!
The Lakers always give the first attack to O'Neal. This is their custom and also the custom of many teams in the league. The first attack, give it to the team leader!
Kobe did not hesitate and passed the ball to O'Neal directly. Then he moved quickly to take the defender away, giving O'Neal enough space for a one-on-one play in the paint.

"Boom! Boom!"

After seeing the court was cleared, O'Neal immediately exerted force and rushed backwards. After two consecutive collisions, no matter how strong Ben was, he was squeezed all the way to the basket by O'Neal. Then O'Neal pushed with his elbow, turned around and jumped up to rim the ball with both hands!
But Big Ben was very determined tonight. He made up his mind that he must give the first ball to O'Neal!
So, although Big Ben felt a sharp pain from O'Neal's elbow, he still withstood the overwhelming force and did not retreat. Instead, he jumped up with great strength and stretched out his hand to block O'Neal's path for dunk.

"Snapped!"

A muffled sound suddenly resounded throughout the stadium, and the veins on Big Ben's already thick arms were exposed, and it was obvious that he had used up all his strength!

His slap was so hard that it almost deformed the basketball!
Even O'Neal was unable to control the ball in the face of such a heavy blow. The basketball flew out of his hands. After the direct collision of the two forces, the basketball flew beyond the three-point line.

Several outside players looked at the landing point and prepared to jump to grab the ball.

Jordan, Christie, Kobe and Kirilenko were huddled together in the blink of an eye.

Lin Tian did not join in the fun, but quietly walked to Kirilenko's side.

Lin Tian felt that this monster with a height of 206 cm and a wingspan of 225 cm had the greatest chance of catching the ball!
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Kirilenko, who had a huge height advantage, grabbed the basketball and held it in his arms.

But he didn't even land on the ground. He was still in mid-air when Kirilenko felt his hands were empty and the basketball flew away again!
Who else could it be if it’s not Lin Tian, ​​the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

Lin Tian slapped the ball out of Kirilenko's arms, turned around and went directly behind Kirilenko. At this time, the basketball drew a rainbow arc and fell into Lin Tian's arms.

Fast break!

There is no need for Lin Tian to shout out this sentence!
Jordan and Christie rushed to the front court from the left and right!
Kobe, Fisher and Kirilenko were fast enough, but they could only keep up.

Contain or interrupt fast breaks?
Don't even think about it!

Lin Tian, ​​who was dribbling the ball in the middle, saw Jordan and Christie moving towards the three-point lines on both sides in perfect harmony to create enough space for himself. He then dribbled the ball continuously towards the inside, and he wanted to completely crush the Lakers' defense!

Seeing that Lin Tian was about to bully Fisher successfully again and was about to dunk on this guy, Kirilenko hesitated for a moment and chose to retreat to protect the basket!

Lin Tian's dunk success rate is definitely much higher than Jordan's 3-pointer or long-range 2-pointer success rate!

But just as Kirilenko made the "right choice", Lin Tian's basketball had already been distributed.

Jordan received the basketball outside the 3-point line, took a quick glance, and shot directly from outside the 3-point line!
He probably hasn't made many three-pointers like this in his entire career.

But tonight, when he touched the ball for the first time, even though he had performed so poorly in the previous game, Jordan still took the shot without hesitation.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Jordan made a 3-pointer, opening the scoring for the Pacers!

"I knew it! Michael can do it!" Barkley shouted excitedly, "He won't play badly for two consecutive games! He is Michael Jordan! He is the greatest, one of the greatest players on the planet!"

"The worse he played in the last game, the tighter the Lakers should defend him in this game! This has nothing to do with tactics, theory, or rationality, just because this person is Michael Jordan!"

"We all know he's going to bounce back! Anyway, if I were the coach, I would have my players defend Jordan outside the 3-point line instead of helping defend the basket! What's wrong with letting the Pacers dunk?"

"If you let Michael get into your stride, the Lakers will definitely get beaten up in this game!"

"Don't go to help defend, Andre! You have only one mission tonight, stick to Michael! Stick to him!" Jackson stood up on the sidelines again. In his coaching career, the number of times he stood up on the sidelines was definitely extremely rare, but every time he stood up, it definitely meant that the team had big problems.

Either the opponent hits you to a climax, or you reach the critical moment of the game.

But it is absolutely unprecedented that Jackson stood up directly in the first round like tonight!
All I can say is, as Barkley said, Jackson knows Jordan better than anyone!

Know better than anyone what Jordan can do!
We must guard against him strictly and provide close protection to him at all times!
Otherwise, this guy will tear you apart completely at any time!
"Snapped!"

Jordan happened to pass by Jackson while returning to defense, and he reached out and patted Jackson's butt: "Phil, you know me. This level of defense is useless to me."

"Snapped!"

Then there was another slap, and Lin Tian followed suit and slapped Jackson on the butt.

"Phil, you know me. Even if this level of defense is useful against Michael, I'm still there!"

"You two bastards, stay away from me, or I'll just lie on the ground next time! I promise the referee will give each of you a technical foul!"

Jackson was also quite helpless towards these two former disciples.

What could he say?
Can he really lie on the ground and commit fraud?
Hiss...you know what, it seems like there might actually be something going on!
"This old fox might really be ready to lie on the ground." Lin Tian returned to defense and when he turned around to defend, he happened to meet Jackson's wise eyes. He immediately told Jordan: "Stop spanking him!"

"It feels good, but if you keep coming, this guy will definitely lie down right away!"

"That's something this old fox can do!" Jordan agreed with Lin Tian and nodded.

Then, Jordan suddenly stepped forward and stood right next to Kobe!
This is one of his tasks in this series.

He wants to lock up Kobe!

As for Lin Tian, ​​his defensive task was still very easy, he only needed to keep an eye on Fisher.

Kobe, who was closely guarded by Jordan, still did not choose to play alone. In this round of the finals, he showed great restraint and rationality. Every time he shot and handled the ball, he was quite calm.

The young man who told Malone to get out of the way and not to stop him from competing against Jordan has now matured.

"Karl!"

Kobe yelled and Malone immediately stepped forward. With the help of his wall-like body, Kobe bypassed Jordan, then accelerated forward quickly, and then stopped suddenly in the free throw line area. Without giving Webber a chance to stick to him, he made a quick stop jump shot.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, the Lakers also scored the first goal!

Then the Pacers' offense started, and Jordan went straight to the low post, blocked Kirilenko, and then reached out for the ball.

After receiving the ball from Lin Tian, ​​Jordan was about to make a move when he found that Fisher had let go of Christie and quickly stepped forward to double-team him.

Jackson had indeed made up his mind. He would rather let go of a certain point of the Pacers than give Jordan the chance to regain his form and ruin the game!

If the Pacers' outside shooting is inaccurate, if the Pacers don't have another top scorer in the league, then Jackson's move might work.

but now?
Jordan suddenly passed the ball behind his head without looking at anyone and threw the basketball over his head.

The basketball flew over his and Kirilenko's heads and went straight to the middle.

Then, with a counter-run and Webber's pick-and-roll, Lin Tian completely blocked Kobe behind him and rushed over. After getting the basketball, he jumped directly.

Facing O'Neal, Lin Tian put the basketball behind his head with both hands, then with a roar, the basketball was infused with a tremendous force by Lin Tian and slammed towards the basket!
Although O'Neal jumped up with all his might to block the shot, his broad body and powerful strength were enough to eliminate 99% of the springmen who wanted to dunk on him head-on, but Lin Tian was obviously in the 1%!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Lin Tian slammed the basketball into the basket over O'Neal's head with both hands. Then, the entire Conseco Center burst into cheers and applause again!

The fans knew that after the boring and dull shooting battle in the previous game, this night, their Pacers were back!

Especially Lin Tian and Jordan, the two scoring maniacs, their condition tonight was obviously top-notch!

They all showed the state and determination to fight to the death!

But the Lakers are also a top team that has been through many battles and has a lot of experience. Their current lineup and their hunger for the championship make it absolutely a crushing sweep for them against any team in the league except the Pacers.

But they happened to encounter the most terrifying walkers.

The Lakers, who were so united and hungry, were actually suppressed by the Pacers.

In this round, the Lakers' basketball came to Kirilenko in the mid-range after many passes and moves. The Russian, who became famous for his defense against Jordan the night before, did not hesitate and wanted to shoot directly.

But tonight, he obviously won't have as good a chance as in the previous game!

"Snapped!"

Christie saw the moment when Kirilenko exposed the basketball before shooting, and slapped the basketball directly out of Kirilenko's hand!
"Quick attack!"

Then Christie took the basketball and immediately passed it to Lin Tian who was already running fast.

Lin Tian and Jordan, one on the left and one on the right, were like two scimitars, charging straight into the heart of the Lakers!

At this time, Kobe was the only Lakers player who had time to return to defense!
Well...there is Fisher, but the difference between his defense and without him is really not that big.

It was 2 against 1 in the frontcourt, with Jordan and Lin Tian on the left and right. The two passed the ball back and forth in an attempt to divert Kobe's center of gravity, but as one of the best defenders in the league, Kobe stood still and held his position tightly!
In a one-on-two situation, all Kobe can do is to make these two people shoot as far away from the basket as possible, and then he will be considered a successful defender!
Well, from this perspective, Kobe's defense is still effective.

Because Jordan stopped again outside the three-point line, and the basketball stopped with him!
Another 3-pointer, Jordan shot again!

"Shh!"

Kobe had just thought of this when Jordan's three-pointer went through his heart again!

Jordan's touch is back!

Both shots at the start were 3 points, and both shots were successful!

"I taught you all this!" Reggie Miller leaned back in his chair arrogantly, boasting, "That Hakeem dares to use his footwork to cheat people out of money. My shooting is the real currency!"

"If he can do it, so can I! I'll also open a training class in the summer!"

"Hey, you guys, if you want to learn in the summer, I'll give you a discount!"

While mumbling, Miller directed his attention to Arenas, Ginobili and others around him, trying to sell them his shooting tutorial class.

"Of course, of course." Arenas chuckled, very understanding!

At this time on the court, Kobe once again used a pick-and-roll to pass Jordan, then he went straight to the basket, and with the moment when O'Neal blocked Big Ben, he easily made a one-handed slam dunk, helping the Lakers score 2 points again!
But when the Pacers attacked next time, their position suddenly changed!

Jordan, who originally attacked in the low post, became an organizer. He began to dribble across half court and directed his teammates' movement at the top of the arc.

Lin Tian came to the low post, blocked Kobe with his back, and reached out for the ball!
This is the tactic that Lin Tian and Jordan just discussed.

Since you, Jordan, will be double-teamed when you go in, and since you have a good touch today, then you should attract their attention outside the three-point line.

Please lend this low place to me, Mr. Lin, to play around with!

After discussing this tactic with Jordan, Lin Tian did not forget to make another temporary upgrade.

Mr. Lin is in trouble!
You haven't forgotten it, right?

Well, Mr. Lin almost forgot!

But it’s okay to forget, as long as you can remember it, it’s okay!
After a whole season of accumulation, especially after being on the same team with Jordan and taking advantage of him like crazy, Lin Tian has accumulated a total of 26000 experience points this season, of which more than 6000 points came from the hit he gave to Jordan in the last game.

After that, Lin Tian was shocked in the entire stadium. Players from both sides gave away experience points, and Jordan himself suddenly gave out 2000 experience points, which made Lin Tian feel a little regretful.

Was I too clean before?
Does this trick need to be used once every month or so to gain more experience?
However, we will talk about this later. Right now, with the remaining 26000 experience points and the experience accumulated from continuous back-to-back attacks in this season, Lin Tian has finally gathered enough experience to upgrade his God's Back-to-Back attack once again!
"God's Post-Up LV5 (MAX): Post-up singles ability is increased by 70%. When dribbling the ball less than or equal to two times during a post-up, the fadeaway jump shot hit rate is increased by an additional 15%. When dribbling the ball more than or equal to two times during a post-up, the finishing ability at the basket is increased by an additional 15%."

Hey!
This is Jordan's signature skill, he is different!
Simple and practical, clear description, huge improvement and obvious effect!

What is simple, effective, clear and understandable?

That’s it!

After improving this skill, Lin Tian's only 'low-post' ability on the offensive end that was not S+ finally broke through the barrier and reached S+!

On the offensive end, everyone finally got S+, which can be considered a cure for Lin Tian’s obsessive-compulsive disorder!

At the same time, Lin Tian’s overall offensive rating finally reached S+!

Now the only area he can continue to strengthen is defense!

Both the offense and physical fitness are impeccable!
"Come on, Lin! I'll show you how good I am! What I learned from Hakeem this summer wasn't just offensive footwork! I also learned techniques and precautions for low-post defense!"

"My goal is to deal with you and Michael!"

Kobe yelled at Lin Tian with full confidence, and at the same time he was cheering himself up!

Tonight, he must bring a victory to the Lakers! (End of this chapter)
