NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

“You can’t even play one-on-one, what’s the point of you playing basketball! Go back to college for two more years. No, you are not qualified to go to college, you can’t even pass the entrance exam! You’d better go back to high school for another two years!” Lin Tian’s trash talk was getting more and more harsh.

James, who was always calm, finally exploded after hearing Lin Tian's trash talk.

"I don't know how to play one-on-one? I just don't care about it! I have higher basketball aspirations! But if you want to play one-on-one, then come on!"

With the help of the referee in the first half, James is now very confident. James didn't take it to heart that the referee didn't blow the whistle just now. With this ball, he wants to let Lin Tian know what it means to be protected by a golden body!
James opened one hand, signaling all his teammates to move away from him, then suddenly dribbled the ball and took two steps back. This was his signature starting move for an offensive attack.

Because James knows very well that although everyone praises him for his maturity and that he is already one of the best 18 or even 30 players in the league at the age of 20, James also knows very well that his skills today cannot be called excellent at all, and his greatest reliance is still his body, speed and impact!

Therefore, when he is going to make a strong move, he will not start showing off his skills and dribbling, but will first create some distance to give himself a running space for sprinting and accelerating, and then he will accelerate and make a strong move!
"Come on, Lin!" James yelled, then suddenly made an uncoordinated dribble between his legs, then suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basket!
Contrary to James's expectations, this breakthrough was surprisingly smooth. He left Lin Tian behind in just one step, but James had no time to be happy.

Because this time, when he was halfway there, Artest rushed over and stood in front of him.

Artest's sudden appearance forced James to slow down before he could reach his limit.

Next was Miller. These two men, one in front and one on the side, almost suppressed James' breakthrough speed.

"FUXX!" Only then did James realize that he had been fooled by Lin Tian. What one-on-one, what single duel, it was all a lie! At the same time, James had already understood: his speed was simply not enough to pass Lin Tian so easily. Just now, Lin Tian had deliberately missed a step for him!

But it was obviously too late for him to pass the ball now, because Lin Tian behind him had also rushed over, and the three of them surrounded James together, blocking him in the middle.

Then Artest, who was in the best position, was quick-witted and quick-handed. He thrust his hands forward and dunked the ball that James had just collected. Then Artest roared like a tiger and used all his strength to pull the ball towards himself.

But he didn't expect that James was holding the ball tightly and didn't let go at all. Artest's pull failed to completely steal the ball.

"Come on! FUXX!" But Artest recovered his breath very quickly. After taking a breath, he roared again. This time he used more strength, and his feet were firmly planted on the floor to support himself. Then he used his waist to drive his entire upper body.

To use the words of a Shaolin lay martial arts master who practiced the powerful Vajra Kick, Artest's move is called: waist and horse unity!

Artest's second effort was definitely extraordinary. As one of the most powerful outside players in the league today, Artest used all his strength to grab the ball. Perhaps James in his prime could compete with him and even gain the upper hand, but James today really doesn't have that strength.

Not only did the basketball slip out of his hands immediately, but James himself was unable to stand steadily. He staggered forward due to inertia and almost fell.

This time, James was a little annoyed by Artest's almost robbery-like action. He didn't even think about turning back to ask the referee for a whistle. Instead, he turned around and chased Artest and Lin Tian and started to defend.

He wants to get the ball back and save face for himself!

It’s so embarrassing to be robbed of life like this!

Although the Pacers' fast breaks are not as good as before, it is not easy to catch up.

Especially when they have the monster Lin Tian in their team, James’ efforts alone seem insignificant!

Lin Tian dribbled the ball wildly in the middle, Artest and Christie were on both sides of Lin Tian. Then when Lin Tian got to the three-point line, he suddenly collected the ball in the direction of Artest and made a fake pass, which made James move half a step to that side.

Then Lin Tian stopped and shook the ball towards Christie again.

This time it's true!
James rushed towards Christie with great confidence, but when he ran over, he found that Christie did not have the basketball in her hand!
Where's the ball?

Is it Artest?
When James turned around to look for Artest and wanted to find the basketball, the basketball had already found him!
Flying from the sky!

"Shh!"

A crisp sound rang out above James' head. Lin Tian did not pass the ball to anyone in this round. Instead, he stopped outside the three-point line and threw it directly!

Less than a minute into the third quarter, Lin Tian made three consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line, scoring 1 points in a row and beating the Spurs 3:9!

"Too brutal! Lin is warning the referee in his own way!" Barkley said excitedly, "His meaning couldn't be simpler: I'm going to play like this, if you have the guts, blow my three-pointer!"

Kenny followed up, "I have a hunch now, and this hunch is becoming more and more obvious. I think Lin is going to break some records tonight! His performance in these few dozen seconds is really scary!"

"Maybe it's the record for 3-pointers made in a quarter?" Barkley tried to guess, "Or maybe it's the record for 3-pointers made in a game?"

"Maybe both, and there are other bonuses!" Kenny said: "Let's continue watching the game, enjoying it and looking forward to it!"

The Spurs' attack, this time James no longer cared what Lin Tian said, he successfully became the 99th star who was beaten by Lin Tian to be speechless, or could only weakly repeat "shut up, shut up".

The silent James was more decisive and calm. This time he passed the ball to Randolph in the low post. Randolph finally got the ball and turned around to the basket. Then he ignored James who cut in from the middle and jumped up for a dunk, scoring 2 points!
"Zach, I'm running over here!" James finally got rid of Lin Tian but failed to get the ball, and he was somewhat dissatisfied.

"I know, but I can also dunk directly." Randolph ignored James. They were all high school students who had never been to college. Who was afraid of who?

The two of them just argued for a sentence, but found that the Pacers' baseline ball had been sent out again. After Lin Tian got the ball, he did not stop and accelerated directly to the frontcourt.

Although Bowen, a guy who seemed to have no idea what giving up and being lazy meant, was clinging to Lin Tian and blocking him, Lin Tian, ​​who was already in full swing, could not be defended by Bowen, who played cleanly.
He even ignored Bowen and didn't do anything for him. He just dribbled all the way to the frontcourt, then directly received the ball and took another reckless 3-point shot.

"Shh!"

After another sound, Lin Tian really went crazy shooting in this quarter!

The three-point shots he made were all unreasonable chase-down three-pointers. None of them were in line with the tactics, and none of them would be written into the coach's tactical manual.

But these unreasonable 3 points really came in one after another!
"What are you doing! Go back to defense!" Popovich was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He opened his hands and yelled at James and Randolph in dissatisfaction: "Only offense? Basketball only has offense? Defense! Defend for me first! How many 3-pointers do you plan to let him make tonight?"

"Starting from the next round, double-team Lin! Block all his shooting opportunities outside the three-point line, let him go to the mid-range! Let him shoot half-court shots!" Popovich was really irritated by these unreasonable three-pointers. He no longer hid the fact that his tactics would be heard by the Pacers.

Just shout!
He is really anxious!
If Lin Tian continues to throw like this, who knows what record he will set!

Must hold it!

"Snapped!"

Popovich was getting angry at James and Randolph when he suddenly felt a pain in his butt.

Looking back with anger, Popovich saw Lin Tian's disgusting smile.

"Old man, you don't want me to shoot 3-pointers. You want me to shoot mid-range?"

"Don't you know that I'm the best in the league in mid-range shots?"

"Then go shoot mid-range shots! I don't believe you can kill us with mid-range shots tonight!"

Popovich doesn't care that Lin Tian is the best mid-range shooter in the league.

He looked at Lin Tian and provoked him. If Lin Tian was really provoked by him and kept shooting from mid-range, it would definitely be a good thing for the Spurs!

"I won't!"

When Lin Tian said this, his expression was so mean, he looked like he was just about to stick out his tongue and say "lol lol lol lol" at Popovich.

FUXX!

Popovich found that his hands were tightly grasping the back of a chair. At this moment, he really had an extremely strong urge to pick up the chair and hit Lin Tian on the head.

Let this kid lie in bed for a month!

"Want to hit me?" Lin Tian looked at Popovich's hand pressed on the back of the chair, looked at his arm with bulging veins, and exposed the old man's thoughts: "Come on, I promise not to fight back."

Not fighting back?
Ghosts believe you!
Do you really think I have forgotten how pitiful old Sloan is?

This bastard showed no respect or mercy when he beat the coach!

Lin Tian: This is truly defaming someone's innocence! If I, Master Lin, had shown no mercy, the grass on old man Sloan's grave would be three meters high, okay?
Of course, Lin Tian wouldn't really stand there with his head stretched out, waiting for Popovich to hit him with a chair. The old man was a military man. What if he carried a shotgun for self-defense?
There is no need, no need. Just quit while you are ahead.

After arguing with Popovich, Lin Tian turned around and walked away.

The Spurs were about to attack, but because of the bickering they were unable to return to defense in time. This was something that James and Randolph, two high school students, could do, but I, Mr. Lin, an Ivy League graduate, could not do it.

Making the same mistakes as high school students, shame on you.

After Popovich's scolding, at least the Spurs' offense did improve. Although James was once again embarrassed by Lin Tian's defense and it was difficult for him to organize an effective offense, his height of more than 2 meters still played a role at this time.

In desperation, James jumped high, incredibly found Turkoglu who was very far away from him, and threw the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, Turkoglu passed it to the inside, and Randolph played with his back to the basket and made a turnaround jump shot!

After the Spurs scored this goal, two people quickly ran towards Lin Tian.

James and Bowen!

The team under Popovich is absolutely top-notch in terms of tactical quality and execution. They are always able to implement the head coach's requirements and tactical intentions at the first time.

But sometimes, even if the coach's arrangements are correct and the players' execution is correct, it may not necessarily be effective.

Because in the NBA, sometimes the most useless things are the correct tactics and strategies!

Lin Tian didn't care about the double-team defense at all. He ran back to create distance between himself and the two people. Then he opened his hand to ask for the ball and dribbled all the way. Relying on his absolute advantage in speed, he had already reached beyond the three-point line before the two people caught up with him.

Then Lin Tian had no intention of stopping to adjust or stabilize himself, and shot again from outside the three-point line!
This time, he rushed too fast and attacked too hastily, and his whole body even floated forward when he attacked. He couldn't control the inertia of his body at all.

When he shot, he was at least one step away from the three-point line, but when he completed the shot and landed, he was already about 3 meters inside the three-point line.

This time Lin Tian jumped forward at least 3 meters!
This kind of extremely difficult shot, where the player is almost flying forward, with the body completely unstable and unable to control the hand shape, is definitely what every coach hopes the players on the opposing team will do.

It would be best to just keep investing like this.

The hit rate of this kind of ball cannot be guaranteed.

"Shh!"

But the hit rate is not guaranteed, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like a wild shot, but Lin Tian made it.

"Is this tactic useful? Is it useful if you don't let me shoot three-pointers?" Lin Tian once again ran past Popovich and taunted him.

"Keep defending like this! He can't keep scoring like this! Impossible! No one can keep scoring 3 points like this!" Popovich ignored Lin Tian and yelled at James and Bowen, continuing to give orders, asking them to follow the previous tactical arrangements.

What Popovich said makes a lot of sense.

It is true that no one can keep throwing like this and still make it go in like this, not even Lin Tian.

He doesn't have any tricks that can make his drifting shots 100% of the time.

For this kind of ball, the smartest thing to do is to quit while you are ahead, and never shoot like that again after making one!
For example, in the next round, when the Spurs' offense failed, Lin Tian directly told Christie to be responsible for the advancement, and he himself ran directly to the frontcourt, and then after everyone was in position, he suddenly started running wildly.

He began to show the skills and off-ball techniques he had secretly learned from playing on the same team with Reggie Miller in the past few years. He constantly relied on the screens of his teammates and his own advantages in speed and rhythm to keep running.

Finally, when Lin Tian ran all the way from the basket to the top of the arc, James and Bowen had already been left far behind by him and could not keep up at all!
Catch the ball, aim, and shoot!

"Shh!"

There was another crisp sound, and Lin Tian hit another 3-pointer!
"Where are the people? Where are the people guarding me? Aren't you not allowing me to shoot three-pointers and only giving me mid-range shots? I've already made several in a row? Is your strategy to not allow me to shoot three-pointers, or do you just let me shoot anywhere and you don't care at all?"

"Shut up!" Popovich couldn't help it and yelled at Lin Tian, ​​"Shut up! And everyone else, are you guys just here to do what you want? Can't you even defend against a bastard? You knew he was going to shoot a 3-pointer, but you couldn't even interfere?"

"Is everything I teach you bullshit? FUXX! Go to hell!"

"Referee, he scolded me!" Lin Tian, ​​who was originally standing in front of Popovich, took the initiative to "bear" all the attacks from Popovich this time. He stood in front of Popovich, just looking at him, and waited for Popovich to finish a wave of output, and immediately initiated a report.

"He called me a freeloader, called me a bastard, and said I was shit! Give him a T, give him a T!"

Before the referee said anything, Popovich couldn't help it and blurted out: "Do you have any shame? Did I scold you? Did I talk to you? Get out! FUXX! Get out! Otherwise I will kill you!" "He definitely scolded me this time! He even threatened me!" Lin Tian looked at the referee with an innocent look on his face, making the referee a little at a loss.

Give Popovich a technical foul. The referee was right there, and he knows exactly what happened. It was that bastard Lin Tian who was looking for trouble.

Don't give him a technical foul. Popovich did swear at the opponent's absolute core player.

Dilemma.

But in essence, the referee still wants to keep the matter quiet and let it go.

The best way to deal with this kind of conflict is to pretend you didn't hear it and act dumb.

"Give it if you want! Do you think I'm afraid of you? You puppets, FUXX! What can you do? What can you idiots do? Do you know whether a basketball is round or square?"

"Technical foul!" This time the referee gave Popovich a technical foul without even thinking about it.

I can tolerate you scolding Lin Tian, ​​but I can’t tolerate you insulting my dreams!
The technical foul given by the referee suddenly stopped the Spurs' attack that had just reached the frontcourt. James, who was in control of the ball, looked at the referee with a puzzled look on his face. Most people on the court didn't know what had just happened.

"Who? Who got the technical foul? What did he do?" James spread out his hands, not knowing the current situation.

"Did Popovich get a technical foul? Did he finally lose control and hit Lin on the head with a chair?" Artest said, "That's understandable."

"I even think this is something worth celebrating! It's extremely rare for Lin to be hit on the head with a chair!"

Several players looked at the court in confusion. Their attention was not on Lin Tian and Popovich. They really didn't know what was going on.

However, when Artest walked over aggressively, he found that Lin Tian and Popovich were both intact, even the chair that was supposed to be the murder weapon was intact. This guy actually showed obvious and deep disappointment on his face.

"You are so disappointed." Lin Tian raised his leg and kicked Artest angrily, saying, "I sacrificed myself to get a technical foul, what does your expression of "It's a pity that I didn't get to play" mean?"

"Misunderstanding! I thought we could fight!" Artest grinned, showing that he was very innocent.

Lin Tian rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and quickly walked to the free throw line. He made the technical free throw steadily, and then the Pacers continued to serve the sideline ball.

This time it was Lin Tian again. This guy was just standing in the farthest corner at the beginning, but when the basketball came into Brad Miller's hands, Lin Tian started running again!

"Stop! Stop this bastard!" Popovich was so angry that he almost jumped up on the sidelines. He roared madly. In Popovich's career, there were very few times when he was so crazy and irrational.

But there is no way, Lin Tian is too crazy.

Well, that’s not the main reason.

The main reason is that Lin Tian deserves a beating.

I deserve a beating!

But if hard work is useful, then why bother hanging around?

Lin Tian ran vertically upward from the bottom corner outside the three-point line, and then turned directly at a right angle. The incredible right-angle change of direction threw away James, who was relatively heavier and had a higher center of gravity, but Turkoglu quickly took over and continued to defend Lin Tian with Bowen.

But Lin Tian had already run all the way towards the top of the arc, and Miller's pass arrived on time at this time.

Lin Tian received the ball at the top of the arc. At this time, he was two meters away from the three-point line, but Lin Tian didn't care at all. After getting the ball, he slapped it on the floor, turned around and stopped, and turned from the side basket to facing the basket. Then Lin Tian jumped up and shot another long three-pointer!
This time, there were still two people standing in front of Lin Tian!

But it's no use!
"Shh!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Barkley in the studio was almost going crazy.

When had he ever seen performance of this level?

No! Not only Barkley, but fans all over the world have never seen such a performance on the NBA court!
too crazy!

Yes, Chamberlain once scored 100 points and scored more than 70 points many times.

There are several other people who have also scored 70+ points.

But judging by the degree of shock and the way Lin Tian played tonight, those people combined were not as crazy as Lin Tian tonight.

In a full 24-second offensive time, Lin Tian received the ball, dribbled only one step, and then took two steps outside the three-point line and forced a shot against two people.

Several times!

too crazy!

No one knows how many people exclaimed after Lin Tian’s ball, and no one knows how many people knelt down and shouted "God" involuntarily after Lin Tian’s ball.

But Lin Tian’s performance tonight is obviously not over yet!
With 4 minutes and 20 seconds left in the third quarter, Lin Tian once again shot from outside the three-point line. This time, Bowen, who was so stunned by Lin Tian's shot, didn't even reach out to interfere.

He really couldn't react.

I’m tired, let’s end it, destroy it, hurry up!
"Boom!"

it's over!
There was a muffled sound of hammering iron, and it was over!
Lin Tian’s 3-point streak finally ended!

Maybe it was because the ball didn't go in as expected and no one was prepared, so no one even tried to grab the rebound. After the basketball bounced on the rim, it actually flew directly out of the sideline.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the scene entered another official timeout in the third quarter.

Everyone needs to slow down.

So far, more than 7 minutes have passed in the third quarter. Lin Tian has made 3 of 11 three-pointers and 10 of 1 free throws, scoring 1 points!
Among them, he made 3 three-pointers in a row. If we include the three-pointer that Lin Tian hit before the end of the first half, he has surpassed his own 10 three-pointers in a row against the Magic that year. With the terrifying number of 3 consecutive shots, he once again broke the NBA's historical record!
By the way, including the three three-pointers Lin Tian made in the first half of the game, Lin Tian has made 3 three-pointers tonight!

He tied his own historical record of 13 three-pointers in a single game set in the game against the Magic that year!

More importantly, there are still more than 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

This explosive power is really crazy!
而上半场因为犯规只打了15分钟的林天，现在已经轰下了52分7篮板7助攻5抢断2盖帽了！
3 fouls? No help from the referee? Home court is like away court?
What a fart!

The Spurs, who were leading the Pacers by 5 points in the first half, were completely defeated by Lin Tian's wave. The difference between the two sides has now reached 17 points!
63: 80!

What’s interesting is that this score difference has an absolutely polar reversal effect on the fans of both sides.

For Pacers fans: A 17-point difference is great, if the gap hadn’t widened, Lin Tian would definitely have been able to score a few more points!
For Spurs fans: They really hope that they are trailing by 37 points now, so that Lin Tian will most likely leave the court directly and will not score any more points.

True polar reversal.

Anyway, now the Pacers are starting to cheer for the Spurs.

Hold on!
You are a top team with a glorious history and countless famous players! Show your pride and confidence! Kill Lin! Kill the Pacers!

"The home fans... switched sides?" Barkley was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is the first time I've seen this kind of switch! I have to say, Indiana fans have been infected by Larry, Reggie and Lin."

"They are all so fucking rude and cheap!"

Kenny said: "But I think the Pacers fans' defection is definitely more desperate and painful for the Spurs than any booing. If the Indians curse them a few times, they might be able to regain some of their feeling and ruthlessness."

"But now... the morale of the Spurs must have completely collapsed."

During the timeout, the Spurs' morale was indeed extremely low. No one spoke, and half of them covered their heads with towels. Lin Tian really drove them crazy during this period.

"Bruce, if Lin dares to shoot or break through in front of you again in the next round, aim at his feet and send him to the hospital!" Popovich was furious at this moment, his eyes even turned red, and he gave Bowen the order.

"I won't go." Bowen shook his head and refused without thinking: "I am a clean player. Ever since I was punished for stepping on someone in the Heat team, I swore that I would never do such dirty tricks again!"

"God will not tolerate this behavior!"

"FUXX! Coward! Coward! Trash!" Popovich cursed several times, then looked at Horry: "Robert, you also have experience in this matter."

"Coach, I respect you, but that's fucking Lin!" Horry resisted the urge to roll his eyes. A seasoned veteran like him certainly wouldn't challenge Lin Tian and do something that would lead to his own death. "I still want to retire peacefully. I don't want to lie in bed for months."

"Damn it! You are a bunch of cowards! You don't even dare to step on me? Then what's the use of you! What's the use of you! Who dares? Tell me, if any of you dares to go up and hit Lin, I guarantee that you will all be the starters for the second half of the season!"

Will he start for the second half of the season?
Almost the entire team scoffed at Popovich's words, and it would be better if he spent the second half of the season in bed.

Do you really think we don’t know who Lin Tian is?

"Are all my team members cowards? Isn't there a single real man among them?"

"Very good, very good. How about I go by myself? I can just go up and destroy him myself?"

"Beautiful! Great! You would rather watch an old man go up and fight Lin than take action yourself, right?"

"You guys really disappoint me! I thought I had a group of lions under my command, but it turns out you are just a bunch of kittens, right?"

"It's not that weird. If you can successfully block it, Lin won't be able to counterattack you. He will be completely powerless and can only hold his legs and scream."

"I will protect you. You can retreat behind me immediately. I will be responsible for protecting you."

"you……"

No matter how hard Popovich tried, he wanted his players to regain some courage and give Lin Tian a hard blow.

But unfortunately, this is Lin Tian. Lin Tian’s past achievements, or his battle record, are really too scary.

Ask the Jazz, ask the Knicks, ask the SuperSonics.

Anyone who fights Lin Tian or dares to use dirty tricks on him will have a good ending?
Those who were knocked down on the court and couldn't stand up were considered lucky. Those who retired early, lay down for the whole summer, and whose careers fell rapidly due to injuries...

To be honest, who would dare to gamble with their career? It was just a bet that Lin Tian would be able to get a cushion, and he would not retaliate on the spot.

Yes... the smoothest and most successful way is that Lin Tian will not retaliate against them on the spot.

Who knows how badly Lin Tian will beat me the next time they meet.

Only a psychopath would gamble!

So, when Popovich used the entire timeout but failed to convince even one person to attack Lin Tian, ​​he decided -

Abandon this plan!

The old man himself is not a fool, so of course he can't do it alone.

Lin Tian has been a serious coach before, but Popovich doesn't think that just because he has served in the army, his physical fitness is better than Sloan's.

Serving in the army for those years allowed Popovich to spend at most half a month less in bed.

"You disappoint me so much." Popovich snorted, crossed his arms across his chest, sat down in his chair like he was throwing a tantrum, and stopped talking.

What could he say?
He himself couldn't think of a way to contain Lin Tian.

Based on Lin Tian's performance in the third quarter, Popovich suspected that even if he put a lid on the basket, Lin Tian would be able to smash the lid and continue to score goals.

It can't be stopped at all.

Powerless.

Then let it be destroyed, no resistance, whatever happens!
The timeout is over and the players from both teams return to the court. (End of this chapter)
