NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"What? Let me beat him up a few times?" On the first day of the training camp, Lin Tian had just driven his car into the Pacers' training hall when he was blocked by Bird. The reason why Bird blocked Lin Tian also surprised Lin Tian.

Bro, I'm a basketball player!

Do you think I'm a professional killer? After not seeing each other for a whole summer, the first thing you want me to do is kill someone?
Ah... no, are you going to beat someone up?

are you crazy!

"He asked for it himself." Bird shrugged and repeated to Lin Tian what Artest had said to him before: "I promise, there is no exaggeration or interpretation this time, all of them are original words!"

"I've never heard of such a request in my life." Lin Tian scratched his head and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure this idiot didn't provoke or offend you, and then you took the opportunity to take revenge?"

"Of course not!" Bird said with a look of great injustice: "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

"Let's talk about it when we meet."

At the same time, Lin Tian was also thinking, don't bring people like O'Neal Jr., Jackson, Harrington and the like to the team, otherwise it would be a bit dangerous when playing against the Pistons.

However, it shouldn’t happen this time.

Big Ben has gone to the Pistons. With him still around, can these two teams still fight?

Well, the reason why the Auburn Hills incident became famous didn’t seem to be a fight between players…

But I always feel that it is very dangerous.

While Lin Tian was chatting with Bird, he was walking towards the gym. Because it was the first day of training camp, Lin Tian actually arrived very early.

But of course, there were people on the team who got there earlier than him.

Those rookies, undrafted players, and those who made it out of the summer league teams all arrived at the stadium early. For them, being able to still be on the team at this time and not being cut means they are already extremely close to their dreams!
There is only one last step left, which is to make their contracts guaranteed, and then they can become NBA players!
Therefore, this group of about 7-8 players are now fully focused, training hard and sweating profusely.

Since everyone has come to practice in advance, they must let the coach and the team leaders see their diligence and humility, their aggressiveness and special skills. Only in this way can the chances of staying in the team be higher.

Looking at this group of people, Lin Tian also remembered that when he first entered the league, the newcomers of the Bulls were in almost the same state.

But I don’t miss it at all.

Back then, we were extremely poor and had to depend on others for support. How could we be as happy as we are now!

Among this group of players, Lin Tian also saw a few familiar faces, such as Howard and Bonner, the rookies selected by the team this year, and Chris Jeffries, the first-round pick selected by the team last year but who did not enter the rotation. They are all working hard here to train.

In addition, Lin Tian also saw a guy who looked and had the same muscles as Ben.

They both have the same short and strong build like a tree stump, are both shiny black, have muscles all over their bodies, and have the same stupid and clear eyes.

Lin Tian thought for a long time before he remembered who this guy was.

This is the guy that Lin Tian asked Bird to bring to the training camp during the draft.

Udonis Haslem.

Although this guy can't compare with Big Ben in terms of strength and ability, and may even look a little shorter than Big Ben, Haslem is definitely tough, ruthless, and desperate enough!

In these aspects, he is definitely no worse than Ben!

In addition, his scoring ability and ability to shoot directly after catching the ball are definitely stronger than Ben Wallace's. His mid-range jump shot after catching the ball after a pick-and-roll is also a unique skill in the league!

With Haslem's tip-in, although it can't compare to Big Ben's iron-clad defense of the basket, at least the Pacers' inside line got the best supplement they could get!

If the departure of Ben Wallace can be filled a little by Haslem, and even the departure of Arenas can be supplemented by the firepower of Howard, Artest and others, then the firepower left vacant after Jordan's departure is really not a gap that can be made up by one or two people.

It would require all the players of the Pacers to work together and try their best to make up for Jordan's firepower!
However, training camp has just begun, and the Pacers and Carlisle have plenty of opportunities to adjust the team's lineup, rotation, tactics and all aspects of the details.

This year, the Pacers' goal remains the same.

champion!

However, this year's championship is destined to be challenging and difficult.

Because Lin Tian had just greeted a group of newcomers and was sitting in the locker room preparing to change clothes and warm up for some practice, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

When I looked up, I saw Artest, who was so strong that his neck was completely invisible.

Artest was wearing standard American shorts and a vest, his whole body was covered in sweat. It was obvious that this guy had just practiced on his own for a while. He most likely heard that Lin Tian was coming and came here specifically to pay his respects.

"Hi Ron, long time no see." Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand, wanting to bump fists with Artest as a welcome.

Unexpectedly, this guy was not prepared to reach out and fist bump with Lin Tian, ​​but directly said: "Why I came here, I think Larry told you, Lin."

"I don't like nonsense. There happens to be a boxing ring in our training hall. Let's go and practice! Beat me until I submit and become useless. Beat me until I am completely convinced by you!"

"I'll give you five minutes to change your clothes. If you're late, you'll be at your own risk!" After Artest said that, he turned around and left. Needless to say, he went to the boxing ring in the Pacers' training hall.

But Artest’s attitude is...how to describe it?

it's wired!
You say he is humble?

This guy's tone, attitude, and swaggering posture are all so arrogant.

Can you say he is arrogant?

When people open their mouths, they say you have to make me submit, you have to make me useless, you have to make me dare not resist...

Cowardly yet arrogant, tough yet self-aware?
tangled.

However, while feeling entangled and complicated, Lin Tian also felt that this guy was really interesting.

The last time I met a guy with a similar temper was probably Rodman!

By the way, speaking of Rodman, where did this guy go? After this guy retired, it was as if he disappeared directly, and no one could find him.

God knows where he went to have fun, but there is no place in this world that this big brother dare not go to, and no competition that he dare not play.

Focus on courage!

Lin Tian was daydreaming while quickly changing his clothes and shoes. At the same time, more and more players entered the locker room.

Almost everyone is here.

"You want to go up to the ring and fight that idiot Ron?" Weber, who hadn't even taken off his headphones, came over with great interest and asked, "Is it a real fight or a fake one?"

"Really! He begged me to beat him until he couldn't even get up." Lin Tian quickly put on a vest, then stood up and looked at the dozen or so players on the scene, waving his hand and saying, "Since everyone is here, let's go. This kind of excitement is rare."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the boxing ring. Behind him were about 20 Pacers players, including those with formal contracts and those without.

Then, before Lin Tian arrived, the coaching staff headed by Carlisle, the team doctor they had hurriedly found, and even Bird all showed up.

"Don't hit him too hard, just scare him." Bird was still worried that Lin Tian would hurt Artest.

"Or let's try another method." Carlisle knew Artest's situation.

He was a little worried. He was afraid that Lin Tian would beat A Tai to death.

"Buy it and forget it! Buy it and forget it!" Reggie Miller, who had retired from the coaching staff because Jordan had retired and was working in a random position in the team, showed his bastard nature and opened the market immediately: "Lin 10 to 1, Ron 1 to 10!"

"I bet 1000 million to win myself." Lin Tian turned around and said to Miller.

“FUXX!” Miller waved his hand in boredom. Then he saw that the people around him all looked like they were ready to buy Lin Tian. He spread his hands in boredom and said, “Forget it. I don’t think anyone will buy Ron’s.”

Well, no one is going to buy Artest.

Although the guy who broke Jordan's ribs is also notorious and is known as one of the most vicious guys in the entire NBA, coupled with his height of over 2 meters and weight of definitely over 100 kilograms, he at least has an overwhelming advantage in terms of body size!
In addition, this guy was born in the streets of New York and has been fighting with people on the streets since he was a child. From bare-handed to armed fights, Artest has fought in all kinds of fights, from big to small.

Moreover, there are several professional boxing coaches in this guy's family. He has been learning fighting skills since he was a child. He is definitely one of the most capable and difficult guys in the entire NBA.

Well... that means it ranks after Malone, Mourning, O'Neal, Big Ben, Rasheed, O'Neal Jr., Dampier, Jackson...

It’s a bit too much. Anyway, it’s just behind these guys.

Everyone must have noticed that Lin Tian is not included in this ranking!

This is because Lin Tian is not a bad guy, he is a pacifist! No matter where he plays, he will definitely bring peace to the court! Wherever he is, there may be conflicts, but there will never be fights!

His deterrent power is equivalent to that of nuclear weapons.

As for the rest of the NBA, at best they have things like machetes, water pipes, chains, water machetes, and folding stools.

They are not on the same level, so of course they cannot be compared together!
Far away.

In short, it is this kind of Artest, this kind of Artest who has been fighting since he was a child and has received formal fighting training since he was a child, but no one is optimistic about him.

The most optimistic people think that after today's game, the tough Artest will not delay training for a while.

Well, that’s the most optimistic scenario!

The rest of the people thought that Artest was just provoking Lin Tian, ​​and it was magnanimous of Lin Tian not to let him lie down for a month.

After all, no matter how fierce and ferocious you are, how do you compare to Malone? How do you compare to the entire Jazz team? How do you compare to Tyson?

"Chris, Doug, Reggie, and Brad, the four of you, be ready to stop the fight at any time. When I tell you to pull them apart, do it immediately!"

"We can't let Ron get hurt on the first day of training camp! We still have a whole regular season to play!" Carlisle was the most worried person. After arriving near the boxing ring, he immediately gave orders to several of the oldest and strongest guys in the team who had the best relationship with Lin Tian.

Let them be on full alert and be ready to intervene at any time.

In other words, be ready to protect Artest at any time.

Lin Tian leaped onto the ring, took off his sneakers, stretched himself and said, "How is it? What are the rules? How do we fight?"

"Play what you do best!" Artest had also changed into a full set of equipment at this time, but his face was still gloomy and he looked arrogant.

"Okay, if you can't bear it anymore, tell me anytime and let's switch." Lin Tian said as he took a pair of boxing gloves from the ring. Then he looked at Artest and said, "What are you doing? You don't need to wear any. Just use your bare hands."

"If you put on the gloves, you won't even be able to tickle me. Let's just play like this. I can still hold back and avoid hurting you."

"FUXX!" What kind of temper does Artest have? Being humiliated by Lin Tian pointing at his nose, he immediately roared, then protected his head with both hands, swayed left and right like a pendulum, and rushed towards Lin Tian!
You know what, these few steps forward are quite realistic! They do look a bit like professional boxers.

But when fighting against Lin Tian, ​​having a shadow is not enough.

"Whoosh!"

The first punch Artest threw went completely in the air, hitting nothing but air!
At the same time, Lin Tian lowered his waist and dived forward, and in the blink of an eye, he had his hands around Artest's waist.

Then Lin Tian suddenly spun to Artest's back and grabbed Artest's waist tightly from behind. Then he suddenly exerted force on his waist, roared, and leaned his upper body back suddenly. He actually picked up Artest by the waist, and then held him upside down and pressed him to the ground!

Falling across the bridge!
The people standing off the court watched Lin Tian slowly stand up from a bent posture, then quickly retreat to create distance. Everyone was stunned.

No one even cheered.

This is too fast.

I can’t even hold on for even one second!

Moreover, several people who were knowledgeable about the matter could immediately see that Lin Tian was showing mercy!

If Lin Tian had not chosen the bridge back throw with explosive visual effects and extremely handsome appearance just now, but chose to use a lock to hold Artest, then Artest would have already lost just now.

Lin Tian: I didn’t mean to show mercy, it’s just that this move is so cool that I couldn’t help but want to try it.

"Get up, this won't be your last shot!" After Lin Tian distanced himself from the opponent, he did not forget to mock Artest who was lying on the ground.

Sure enough, Artest's ability to withstand blows should not be underestimated. This guy shook his head, climbed up from the floor, and then roared, "Come again!"

This time, he stepped forward much more carefully, almost moving in front of Lin Tian little by little. The amplitude and speed of his punches were also much slower. He was just testing Lin Tian.

This guy was frightened by the fall. But it's useless to be afraid of Lin Tian!
Just as Artest was tentatively extending a punch, Lin Tian suddenly moved again!
He grabbed Artest's arms with both hands, then suddenly stepped forward with force, stuck one foot behind Artest's feet, and then used his shoulder to knock Artest to the ground without balance.

Finally, Lin Tian spun his body quickly as he fell to the ground. In an instant, no one could see clearly how Lin Tian moved or spun. What everyone could see was that after Lin Tian stopped, his hands were grabbing Artest's wrists, and his feet were stuck on Artest's arms.

A perfect armbar was formed in the blink of an eye.

"I'm letting go. This is the second time!" After holding Artest's arm for two seconds, Lin Tian didn't wait until he slapped the floor in surrender. He quickly let go and once again distanced himself from him.

"Are you coming again?"

"Come!"

Artest got up again and rushed towards Lin Tian again.

In the next 5 minutes, Lin Tian explained to all the Pacers players on the scene what a lock technique is and what a ground technique is. He demonstrated a wide variety of wrestling and locking techniques.

Lin Tian even had time to open his mouth and explain to the audience below, telling them what techniques he used for this move, what precautions he should take, and when is the best time to use it.

Everyone nodded their heads, feeling as if they had taken a high-end private lesson on wrestling and locking techniques.

No matter how many knowledge points everyone can remember from this class, or how many of the techniques can be used in future fights, everyone is sure of one thing: if this class is charged, it will definitely be very expensive!
Artest's medical expenses alone will cost a lot of money!
After being thrown around like a sandbag by Lin Tian for several minutes, this guy was obviously dizzy when he stood up again. He walked unsteadily and looked like he might fall down at any time.

As for the harm he brought to Lin Tian during this period?
Lin Tian's hair wasn't even messy, he was just sweating a little.

"Let's leave it at that for today." Lin Tian saw that if he continued to fight, Artest would definitely get a concussion, so he took the initiative to remove the trap: "It's time to train, and we'll fight next time."

"Tomorrow!" Artest's voice was still gloomy: "I'll wait for you here before training starts tomorrow, and you can come and beat me up!"

After saying this, the guy tore off his sweat-soaked vest and slammed it hard on the ground.

He looked unwilling to accept the defeat, but what he said...

What do you mean you'll come and beat me up tomorrow?
Seeing Artest like this, Lin Tian was really a little nervous. This guy, could he really have some special fetish?

Otherwise, how could someone be so arrogant and say such cowardly words?

However, the excitement here is over. It is hard to say whether Artest is convinced or not, but all the players of the Pacers are convinced.

too strong!
Dimensionality reduction attack!
"I boxed with my 6-year-old son and it wasn't easy for me to win."

Miller couldn't help but say, "He can always hit me with two punches, but Ron didn't even touch Lin's body hair just now."

"Five minutes! Five full minutes!" Weber shook his head and said, "Five minutes. Even if he swung blindly with his eyes closed, he should have been able to hit him a few times. But Lin actually dodged them all and was not hit at all."

"too strong!"

The players and coaches of the entire Pacers team expressed their feelings together.

Then, the group of people looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.

Come see again tomorrow!
Too beautiful!

As for Carlisle and Bird, they were relieved at this moment.

Just fight like this, nothing will happen!

Lin Tian was giving in to Artest. Artest couldn't even force Lin Tian to accidentally use too much strength and lose control. So what was there to be afraid of?
If an adult hits a child, can the child be injured?
……

The next day, at the same time and at the same place, Artest arrived at the boxing ring early. This guy wore a black hoodie very coquettishly, with the hood on his head and a big pair of headphones on his head.

This guy just had his back to the boxing ring, his head on a pillar, and he kept muttering to himself.

Looking at his figure, his bearing, his style and his aura, he is definitely a master!

It's the aura of the villain's top thug in those action movies, where the protagonist beats the villain's soldiers to a pulp and leaves them without any chance of fighting back, but he can still sit there quietly to eat, listen to music, drink or do other things!

Well, if the Pacers players hadn't seen the match yesterday where Lin Tian threw the sack, they might have really had some expectations for Artest.

But after yesterday...

They just wanted to see how Lin Tian would beat Artest today.

They never thought that someone could beat someone so beautifully!
Yesterday, Lin Tian even performed a combination of a high jump roundhouse kick and a low sweeping kick.

Apart from movies, who can see this thing in real life?

Of course, Lin Tian was holding back when he did that yesterday, just for the sake of looking cool.

If he hadn't restrained his strength and had hit Artest with both blows, he would have at least suffered a facial bone fracture and a comminuted ankle fracture.

"How are we going to fight today?" Lin Tian jumped onto the boxing ring and put on a pair of gloves again.

But Artest ignored him and continued listening to music.

FUXX!

Are you pretending to be cool in front of me?

A basketball court, no.

The boxing ring, is it a place for you to show off?
Lin Tian strode over, pulled off Artest's headphones, and shouted at him: "How do you play!"

"FUXX!" Artest was so frightened by the sudden attack from behind that he almost fell off the ring.

"When did you come?"

"How to fight?" Lin Tian was too lazy to talk to this guy who always pretended to be a master. He went straight to the point. He would beat him in 3 minutes and then go back to training.

waste time!

"What I'm best at is boxing rules!" Artest was very conscious of not wearing gloves. He stretched out his hand and touched it with Lin Tian, ​​indicating that they could start!

Then when Lin Tian just took a step, this guy protected his head with his hands and retreated 3-4 steps.

"What are you doing? Come here, attack!" Lin Tian waved his hands at Tyson, and then he didn't even raise his hands to make a stance, but let his hands hang naturally, just jumping left and right on the spot: "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Lin Tian's attitude and arrogant posture really pissed off Artest. He yelled and rushed towards Lin Tian.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

There were continuous sounds of breaking through the air, and Artest's combination punches were thrown one after another, but he could not hit anything except the air!
Lin Tian is too fast!
It was so fast that Artest wasn't even attacking him, but following him!

Artest didn't know how many punches he threw, maybe 20, maybe 30, maybe 50.

All he could feel was that he hadn't touched anything and that a lot of energy had been wasted from his body.

Then, after another punch accidentally missed, Artest quickly took two steps back to create some distance.

He had to take a breath.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian didn't even chase after him. He was still jumping left and right on the spot. If Artest hadn't felt his whole body go limp, gasping for breath, and had no strength left, he would probably have thought that everything that had just happened was an illusion and nothing had happened!
"You've almost recovered, right?" Lin Tian asked, then said, "Then I'll come!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he suddenly moved sideways with an antelope step, then raised his fist and hit Artest on the waist.

Just as Artest was about to fight back, Lin Tian had already jumped to the other side, then raised his hand and punched Artest on the shoulder again!
Then Lin Tian continued to move, circling Artest, almost without stopping, and continued to attack Artest!

"Bang, bang, bang! Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

A series of popping sounds came without interruption, and the Pacers players in the audience were completely stunned!

Is this how boxing is done?
Just like this, you keep circling around a person, and then keep swinging a pair of iron fists, and every punch can hit the target and cause damage to the opponent?

Even playing games isn’t this exaggerated!

Lin Tian's series of continuous punches attacked Artest for at least a full minute. After Lin Tian threw nearly a hundred punches, his breath was finally exhausted. Lin Tian quickly retreated and kept some distance. He also needed to take a breath.

However, after retreating, Lin Tian found that his habitual action of retreating and maintaining a safe distance was unnecessary, completely unnecessary!
Because Artes specifically said that he was attacking and chasing with his fists, and he hasn't recovered yet!
He is still holding his head and defending himself!
My little brother, you are stunned again!

"Ron! Ron! It's over! It's over!" Lin Tian could only shout twice helplessly, hoping that Artest would quickly look up and see what happened.

Just after Lin Tian shouted like this several times, Artest finally looked up, then looked at Lin Tian and the surroundings, as if he had just woken up.

"How much strength did you use just now?" Artest looked at Lin Tian and asked nervously again.

"I didn't use any strength." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't bragging. He really didn't use any strength just now. Otherwise, if he had put a little more strength into his fist, Artest wouldn't be able to chat with him at this moment. He could only lie on the ground and chat with the team doctor.

"Give me a real punch." Artest moved his arms and got ready again, saying, "Give it all you have. I need to know what fear and terror are!"

"With all your strength?" Lin Tian repeated this sentence, and then couldn't help but glance at Bird and Carlisle.

The two people's choices are completely different.

Bird nodded indifferently, indicating that it was up to him to do what he wanted. Carlisle's head was shaking like an electric fan, and he almost opened his mouth to stop it. Artest was not in a good state of mind, so why did you, Mr. Lin, have nothing better to do but to join in the fun?
Is it so fun?

Lin Tian: It is indeed very interesting. In my entire life, I have never met anyone like Artest.

So Lin Tian swung his arms and said, "Then get ready, I'm coming!"

As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and rushed towards Artest.

At the same time, his right fist continued to accumulate power until it reached a very comfortable distance, then his fist suddenly exploded and smashed towards Artest's head!

Of course, Lin Tian still had some sense. He didn't really shoot towards the gap in Artest's head guard, as that would most likely break through the defense and actually hit Artest on the head.

In that case, this guy might not be able to participate in the entire training camp and can just go home and lie down to treat his concussion!
Therefore, Lin Tian’s punch was actually aimed at Artest’s left arm, and then he hit it with all his strength!

After being hit by such a punch, Artest would only feel severe pain, but would not suffer any other injuries.

It's a serious injury, the pain will heal in 3-5 days.

However, Lin Tian still underestimated how powerful he was now.

His punch did hit Artest's arm that was protecting his head, but the force was so great that Artest couldn't block it at all!

His arm unconsciously hit his head, and then his fist hit his eye socket.

"puff!"

Lin Tian, ​​who was the closest to the scene, could hear a muffled sound, and then saw Artest screaming, flying out, and then lying on the floor.

"It's bad! Doctor!! Doctor!" Carlisle screamed, wishing he could ask the team medical team to come up immediately.

The other players were also shocked at this moment.

If yesterday it was about skills, then today Lin Tian demonstrated strength and speed.

The continuous combination of punches in the first half and the critical hit at the end were really scary.

That's Artest, who weighs over 100 kilograms!

Just being knocked off the ground by a punch and lying on the ground? That's too exaggerated!
Besides, Artest didn't move for half a day, he wouldn't be injured...

"I'm fine!"

The team doctor had just arrived at the ring and was about to squat down to check on Artest when he was frightened by Artest suddenly sitting up and almost fell to the ground.

This sudden appearance really seems like a resurrection from the dead.

"Whether he's okay or not, we'll know after we check him out." The team doctor quickly recovered and went to check on Artest without further ado, wanting to see if he was okay.

Although Artest was reckless, he was not stupid. When people were checking him, he sat very steadily and did not move at all.

"It's OK. The initial screening showed no signs of concussion or anything like that. But I suggest that you go to the hospital for a checkup to make sure that he's OK. And..." The teammate said this, pointing at Artest's eyes, "I think he'll have to wear sunglasses from now on." (End of this chapter)
