NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 465 Lin Tian is released from his confinement! The craziest monster in history is out!

The ban has been lifted!
As soon as Carlisle said this, countless fans around the world cheered!
After waiting for more than a month, it finally happened!

Our Lin is finally officially back!
At the same time, half of the teams in the league were wailing.

Damn, why did this monster come back?
Why is only half the team whining?

Because the Pacers have a total of 15 games to play, against a total of 14 opponents, among which the most unlucky Bulls will play two more games with the Pacers.

It happened that 14 teams were wailing and screaming!

What a bad luck!

What a damn schedule, why can't we play against the Pacers in advance?

After all, everyone can see how good Lin Tian's current condition is and how strong his physical strength is, and they can also see the Pacers' desire to continue to improve their record.

They are about to start the Northern Expedition!

The Pacers we are facing at this time might be the strongest and craziest Pacers of this season!
No one wants to play against them.

Those teams that faced the Pacers in March and beat them felt relieved.

Hehe, I beat you up, but you were powerless and had no chance to take revenge at all!
happy!

Of course, happiness is destined to belong to a small number of people.

For example, Lin Tian’s old team, the Bulls, are in great pain now!
It's not just because they have to play against the Pacers twice in the next game, not just because they are the first victim after Lin Tian was released from playing time, and not just because they have to play two games in a row against the Pacers.

The most important reason is that they beat the Pacers once in March.

And the process of winning...

In that game, the Bulls were once 20 points behind the Pacers, but in the second half, they fought back fiercely and played at their best. In the third quarter, they beat the Pacers 40:17 and reversed the score in one fell swoop.

In the following fourth quarter, the two sides fought back and forth and it was evenly matched. Until the last round of the game, the Bulls were still 1 point behind the Pacers.

In the last 5 seconds, Crawford, the new leading scorer of the Bulls, who was known for his fancy dribbling and gorgeous playing style, stood up, dribbled to the mid-range and made a jump shot to win the game!

Logically speaking, a buzzer beater is a buzzer beater and it’s nothing.

But Crawford was excited! It was the first time in his life that the little brother hit a decisive shot, and he was as happy as a child.

Then the guy was so happy that he went wild. He rushed directly to the technical table, jumped on it, and shouted to the fans: "This is my horse! This is my horse!"

If this were at the United Center, Crawford would have no problem doing this.

But the thing is this is in Indiana, this is Conseco Fieldhouse.

The 19000 fans in the stadium booed and cursed him so much that the young man almost fell off the technical table.

Originally, the matter ended here.

But who makes Crawford young and energetic?

At the press conference after the game, Crawford told reporters: "Indiana is the worst place I have ever been to. The fans here have no manners at all. They can't stand the opponent winning, nor can they stand the opponent having any wonderful performances."

"It's hard for me to believe that such a place has won five championships in the past few years! I can only say that they are really lucky! In Chicago, our fans will never treat the opponent's players who make buzzer beaters like this. They will give them applause like gentlemen."

After Crawford said this, the feud between the two sides was completely settled.

This is no longer just a regular season grudge.

Anyway, the Indians will remember this annoying and arrogant bastard.

Wait!
After having a back-and-forth fight with the incomplete version of the Walkers without Lin Tian, ​​he just fucking forgot who he is, right?

Now our Lin is back! Our king is back!
We're ready to fuck you bastard!
On March 3, the Pacers faced the challenge of the Chicago Bulls at home!
The Bulls' record this season is still hard to describe, although their team's lineup looks pretty good: they have the talented high school duo of Chandler and Eddy Curry in the interior, and Crawford, the new leader with a flamboyant style of play, on the outside.

Coupled with the talented point guard TJ Ford and former All-Star guard Kendall Gill, who the team took with the tenth pick this year, the Bulls' starting lineup is definitely full of talent.

Of course, their problems are the same as many young teams: no leader, no system, players playing on their own, paying attention only to their own statistics but not caring about the team's victory or defeat.

They still need the last piece of the puzzle or a leader to unite the team and form it into a whole, a real team.

This is also the reason why they are full of talent but have not even won 20 games so far this season. They failed to wait for the last and most important person for them.

There are several teams of this type in the league every year. Some teams can wait for qualitative changes and make the team's performance soar, but some teams cannot complete qualitative changes until they disintegrate.

Of course, the Bulls have also tried hard to find veterans and locker room leaders for the team. This season, they brought back Pippen, who could hardly play due to injuries, and brought in veteran Kendall Gill, hoping that these two veterans can lead the team in the locker room.

But unfortunately, Pippen was not a qualified leader in his prime, and now he can't even play because of injury. Those young people don't give him much face, and his influence in the locker room is really not great.

As for Kendall Gill, there is no need to mention it. This guy just has a long service history. Apart from being selected into the All-Rookie Team once, he has no other honors in his entire career. If even Pippen couldn't control the situation, how could he expect to do so?
In short, this Bulls team is full of talented people with different personalities. These people are not afraid of anyone and don't care about their record. But this group of people is definitely arrogant enough.

But on this night, the Bulls will face their toughest game of the season.

Everyone knows that Lin Tian, ​​who has been freed from the time limit, will go all out tonight. He will definitely use all his strength and fully explode all his energy!
At the very least, on this night, in addition to countless fans paying attention to Lin Tian's true comeback battle, many active players and coaches were also paying attention to this game.

They all wanted to see what kind of performance Lin Tian could achieve after being freed from the time limit!
At the same time, everyone also wanted to see whether Lin Tian’s injury had any impact on him. Everyone wanted to witness it with their own eyes to see how much energy Lin Tian actually had.

"It's over 1500 million!" Stern's assistant said to Stern excitedly, "The North American viewership for this game is already in the top five this season!"

"Very good!" Stern nodded coldly, signaling his assistant that he could leave.

finally come back!
Lin, the most popular and powerful player in the league, who can cause the most sensation among fans and the entire circle, is finally back!

I miss you!

The Bulls players certainly didn't know that this game would have such high attention and an exaggerated number of viewers, but that didn't matter. The moment the Bulls players walked out of the player tunnel and entered the Conseco Center, the fans' crazy boos and curses came at them!

80% of them were given to Crawford!
Who told you last time that our Indiana fans have no manners, no quality and are not worthy of the championship?

This time we will let you know our true passion and madness!

Use whatever dirty and fierce words you want!
Take this bastard Crawford as the center, and the eight generations of ancestors as the radius, and draw a circle clockwise. All relatives within the circle, whether blood related or not, should be scolded! Scold them!
Is this your horse?

Today I will let you know who is whose horse!
The crazy boos and insults from the Pacers fans made Crawford's legs a little weak.

He has always played for a bad team, so when has he ever seen such a scene?

He was really scared.

And I regret it very much.

Isn't it just a buzzer beater? Why are you bragging about it? What's there to brag about?
Regret! Very regretful!
Crawford even hoped that his ankle would start to ache and swell right now so that he could rest for a night.

He doesn't want to go to work today.

But obviously, this is impossible.

Who else but him can pay for the sins he has committed?

Then, Crawford saw Lin Tian and Artest walking towards him in a swagger.

Is he going to say something mean? Is he going to talk trash to me? What should I do? Should I respond? Should I...

Crawford's mind was racing with movies and ways to deal with the situation. When Lin Tian approached him, he straightened his back, trying his best to look not afraid at all, and said to Lin Tian: "I'm not afraid of you, Lin! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Hi, Scott, long time no see!" But Lin Tian ignored Crawford and didn't even look at him. Instead, he walked behind him and hugged Pippen who was right behind Crawford: "This is your last year, right?"

"I'm old and can't play anymore!" As he gets older, Pippen has become more peaceful. Of course, it may also be because the maximum salary contract before his retirement made him earn a lot of money. Now when he thinks about the happy life with his wife after retirement, Pippen can't help but feel happy.

"Then tonight, I will give you a retirement gift that you will never forget."

"Then I may not be able to play today because of a groin strain." Pippen could certainly guess what Lin Tian's retirement gift was. It was a pity that now he just wanted to fulfill his dream of retiring with the Bulls. As for the desire to win the championship, it had long since disappeared.

Pippen had no intention of responding to Lin Tian's provocation.

"Life becomes boring when you get old." Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders to indicate that it was not fun. When he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly saw Crawford still standing there.

"Hey, buddy, you're blocking the way, please move aside."

Buddy? In the way?
Crawford looked at Lin Tian and opened his mouth to curse.

I'm Crawford! The top scorer of the Chicago Bulls! Another core player after Jordan. You call me buddy?

"Clear Crowder, right?" Lin Tian clapped his hands, finally remembering Crawford's name, and said with a smile: "It was you who defeated us last time, right? See you in the game."

"It's Jamal Crawford!" Crawford opened his mouth and shouted angrily, but Lin Tian didn't even look at him. He just left with his back.

"I advise you not to mess with Jamal." Pippen looked at the angry Crawford and couldn't help but advised: "He definitely knows your name. This is his usual tactic. You must stay calm so that you can help the team win."

"He is so good at irritating his opponents before the game! I even suspect that this guy is not here to reminisce with me, he just wants to provoke you."

Crawford didn't listen to Pippen's earnest advice at all. He snorted and didn't even look at Pippen. Instead, he stared at Lin Tian's back.

You, Lin Tian, ​​are very powerful. I can’t compare to you.

But if it's just a game, just a game to compare when we're in our best condition, I may not lose to you!

At least, Crawford feels that he is in pretty good shape now!
Although his condition and feeling were good, Lin Tian had just been released from the time restriction. It was his first time to play the whole game, and he might not be able to adapt to this long and high-intensity game directly.

You may not lose! You will definitely have a chance!
Crawford mentally encouraged himself to stay confident.

The Bulls have another team, the Huskies, who have the same idea as Crawford and want to challenge Lin Tian in the game.

Just when Lin Tian was about to walk to his team's warm-up half, a voice suddenly called him.

"Forest!"

Lin Tian looked back and found a player who was about the same height as him, but obviously thinner, with his nose pointing towards the ceiling. He looked like the typical unruly, arrogant, and domineering black player from the slums.

Seeing this guy calling him, Lin Tian was very polite. He walked straight over, took out a pen from his pocket, and wrote on the guy's body.

"You're welcome." After signing his name, Lin Tian put the pen back into his pocket, turned around and went back to warm up.

Flathead Brother No. 2 was stunned with his nostrils flared.

He didn't know how to deal with the situation.

who am I?where am I?What am i doing?

Why should I ask him to sign for me?

The result of Lin Tian's sudden stepping forward to 'praise' the signature was definitely more unexpected to Flathead Brother No. 2 than a direct punch to him.

What is this? What is going on?
"What's wrong, TJ? Didn't you say you wanted to challenge him to see who is the fastest in the league?" Flathead No. 1 Crawford came over and said, "Why did you want to ask him for his autograph?"

"I don't want it!" Flathead No. 2 is TJ Ford, the outstanding player nicknamed 'Lightning Engine' who was taken by the Bulls with the tenth pick in the first round this year.

This guy ranked first in the 60 generation in various physical and speed tests before entering the NBA, whether it was the 03 meters, meters, shuttle run, three-quarter court sprint, dribbling sprint or any other test, as long as it was related to speed!
Even if we count back in time, except for Stoudemire in 95, there was no other player who entered the NBA in the 90s who was absolutely faster than him.

During his peak period, the NBA conducted a player vote, and more than 35% of the players believed that Ford was the fastest man in NBA history. After playing against Ford, Iverson directly stated, "Ford is faster than me!"
This guy's talent and speed are absolutely astounding.

But of course, all of the above were achieved in a world without Lin Tian.

In this alliance with Lin Tian, ​​even if there has not been a direct comparison, everyone believes that in all indicators related to speed, Ford is at most second in the league!

Not convinced? Then try to win a world championship in the 100-meter race or dominate the Golden League.

If you can do one of them, it means you are faster than Lin Tian.

Well, Ford certainly couldn't do that.

But he still feels that running fast on the basketball court is not just about running with your head down. You have to run fast while connecting with the ball and dribbling fast. That’s the real speed!
Comparing this, I am definitely not slower than Lin Tian!
As for Lin Tian’s previous achievements, data, wonderful games he played and various other records.

Ford said: That's not important! What's important is that I'm definitely faster than him!

Well, how else can we say it is Flathead Brother No. 2?
There is no reason for this, but I just don’t accept it!

However, Ford's brain was obviously not as fast as his legs. No matter how unwilling he was, Ford did not say any harsh words or trash talk to Lin Tian. He could only watch Lin Tian walk away.

As for him?
He had to hurry back to the locker room to change his jersey.

What kind of asshole is signing someone's jersey before the game starts?
At least wait until the game is over before signing!
Lin Tian: Who made this guy so coquettish that he didn’t zip up his training suit, revealing the jersey underneath?

A few minutes later, the starting players of both teams walked onto the court. The Pacers still used the incomplete starting lineup: Miller, Haslem, Artest, Christie and Lin Tian.

The Bulls have high school twin stars Chandler and Curry partnering up in the interior, veteran Pippen starting at the 3rd position, and Crawford and T.J. Ford sitting together in the backcourt, forming their very 4+1 young quartet and an old man's starting lineup.

Game start!
As the basketball flew into the air, Chandler jumped up and passed the basketball to TJ Ford.

Although Chandler has only averaged 5 points, 4 rebounds and 1 block per game in the regular season so far, and is about to hit the bottom, his talent is there after all, and his size and physical fitness are absolutely impeccable.

There was naturally no problem in easily defeating Miller in the jump ball.

After Ford got the ball, he immediately advanced at a high speed. After reaching the three-point line, this guy paused facing Lin Tian, ​​and then immediately made a small but ridiculously fast change of direction. In the blink of an eye, he flashed past Lin Tian and rushed towards the basket.

"Nothing special! What's the legend of the fastest human being? I can still pass through with just a change of direction!"

After passing Lin Tian, ​​Ford was so proud that he rushed into the inside without caring that Miller in front of him was already in place to defend. He forced a jump and headed for the basket.

But he had just lifted the basketball from his waist to his head when he lost control of it!

A huge force came from the side, and a big hand pressed accurately on the basketball that Ford was about to shoot.

Lin Tian!

"Snapped!"

Lin Tian grabbed the basketball in Ford's hand with one hand and slapped the basketball into Christie's hands.

"Ball!" Lin Tian yelled immediately after landing, then after getting the basketball, he accelerated and started running wildly!

Ford also cursed. He didn't have time to think about how Lin Tian overtook him on the curve, came from behind and blocked the shot in front of him.

He only knew that he had to use the same method to disrupt Lin Tian’s attack and get back his face!
Ford, who was running at full speed, was actually not thrown off by Lin Tian. He held on to Lin Tian tightly and did not let him pass him easily.

"Oh? Not bad!" Lin Tian was still a little surprised at Ford's speed.

But it’s just a little bit!

He ran all the way to the Bulls' three-point line, then suddenly stopped and pulled back, allowing himself to retreat two steps outside the three-point line.

In this move, Ford's center of gravity was completely shaken away by Lin Tian! He never thought that Lin Tian could complete an emergency stop and retreat in such a rapid state. Not to mention who was faster, Ford could never do it with this core strength and control ability.

After a retreat, Lin Tian accelerated and attacked again, with almost no pause between starting and stopping. No matter how fast Ford was, he could only watch Lin Tian complete the attack and he could do nothing.

too fast! It's so fast!

It's fast and has top-notch control capabilities.

"boom!"

Then there was a loud bang, and Lin Tian made a one-handed gliding slam dunk, scoring his first 2 points of the night!
"Really good young man." After Lin Tian dunked the ball, he acted like a 'senior': "I thought you would be knocked down by me, but I didn't expect you to be able to control yourself. Really good!"

good?

Damn, I’m just good?

Today I will let you know what is good in fucking!
Ford's fighting spirit was completely aroused by Lin Tian's words. He was determined to let Lin Tian know what is good!

Then, 20 seconds later, Ford held the basketball with both hands near his waist and kept swinging it, yelling, "Catch it! Catch it!"

Lin Tian was right behind him, with his arms open, pressing him continuously, forcing this guy to be unable to dribble, let alone shoot.

"Walking violation!"

Unfortunately, the Bulls' receiving personnel had not yet arrived, and Ford had already committed a traveling violation because he failed to control his body.

"TJ was really taught a lesson by Lin!" Barkley laughed. "In the first two attacks, he was blocked once and made a mistake once. I think TJ realized the gap between him and the top players in the league tonight."

"Lin's strength really crushed him! We hope TJ can stay calm and regain his sanity in the next game, so that we can enjoy the duel between the league's new and old generations of talented point guards!"

how to say?

Ford may have had reason, but he certainly didn't have it with him tonight!

After being forced to travel by Lin Tian, ​​this guy tried his best to defend Lin Tian. He showed his unparalleled concentration on the defensive end, trying to suppress Lin Tian's defense and get back the ball.

But the problem is, sometimes attitude is something that can be overdone!
When you are not capable enough, the harder you work the more painful it will make you!

For example, in this round, Lin Tian played against Ford with ease. He passed him easily and then went to the middle distance. Then Lin Tian glanced behind him and found Ford who was chasing him relentlessly, and then he suddenly stopped again.

The Ford behind him didn't have time to brake and crashed into Lin Tian.

rear end!
At the same time Ford hit his back, Lin Tian had already jumped up and completed his attack.

"Shh!"

"Beep! 2 points valid, pushing foul, 1 free throw!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and Ford's enthusiasm allowed him to give Lin Tian a 2+1!

"TJ! Calm down! Calm down!" Head coach Skiles yelled off the court, "You don't have to rush to prove that you are better than Lin! There is no need! Think about your strengths! Play to your strengths!"

"Keep calm! You are the point guard of the team. You have to organize the team's offense and get everyone involved in the game!"

Skiles' words were still very tactful. He obviously meant that Ford was too selfish. Up to now in the game, except for him, no other player on the team had even touched the ball.

But unfortunately, Scales's subtle criticism didn't work on Ford.

When Ford heard these words, he directly filtered out the words like "let teammates participate in the team's offense."

Ford only heard one sentence.

'Play to your strengths!'

My advantage?

My advantage is impact and speed!
Dry!
After Lin Tian made the free throw, Ford once again came to the frontcourt with the ball, but what made Skiles despair was that this guy still didn't use any tactics.

He raised his left index finger to his head and turned it clockwise.

Scales knows the meaning of this tactic very well.

Move aside, I want to play one-on-one!
Although Curry and Crawford in the team were somewhat unhappy to see Ford still had to play one-on-one, they had a good relationship after all, and it was far from the point where they would fall out directly because of Ford's two one-on-ones.

So the whole team was finally separated from Ford.

Then, Ford continued to dribble the ball, looking for opportunities to attack. Then he once again used his signature change of direction without slowing down, trying to force his way past Lin Tian!

In order to get past Lin Tian, ​​this guy unleashed all his brute strength, and his speed increased to the extreme in the blink of an eye!

Ford felt that he had never lived so fast in his life!
If Ford had to choose one goal as the most brilliant and perfect goal in his career, he believed it must be this one!
At this moment, Ford, to put it bluntly, exploded and entered the zone. The guy with glasses began to reminisce, and Vegeta gave him a thumbs up and said something harsh to him!

"Oh!"

Then, Ford felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his whole body seemed to have hit a city wall. All his speed disappeared in an instant and returned to zero. Not only did he no longer charge forward, but he completely lost his balance, and after taking several steps back, he sat directly on the floor.

"Offensive foul!" The referee blew the whistle immediately and gave their decision. This was a result that required almost no discussion or doubt, as the dribbling and charging was too obvious.

"FUXX! This guy is so strong! He's about to break my ribs!" Artest's voice came. When this beast-like guy saw that Ford was about to break through, he suddenly moved sideways to block his path, and then the two of them collided heavily.

Lin Tian stepped forward and helped Artest up from the floor, saying, "I was worried that you wouldn't make it in time! After all, this kid's speed is pretty good!"

"Can't catch up?" Artest snorted. "There's nothing I can't catch up with on the basketball court! How do you think we played without you, when we couldn't score on offense and couldn't execute our offensive tactics?"

"Defense!"

Artest snorted arrogantly, then turned around and ran towards the front court.

Lin Tian was too lazy to respond to Artest's words.

What could he say?
Are you saying that without me, your defensive efficiency will drop directly from the top of the league to the bottom?
Are you saying that without me, you won a game just by relying on defense?

I can’t tell!
Mr. Lin is a kind person!
Can't say.

It's strange that a team has Christie and Artest, but their defense can't hold up at all. When Lin Tian is not there, the team's defense is always at the lower level of the league.

Where are you going to make sense?
But in fact, if you analyze it a little, the reason is simple.

There are not enough people and the bench is too bad.

With these two players, the team's defense can still maintain a mid-level level.

But when those two were off the court, the team's defense was so bad it was hard to describe.

Except for these two, the whole team can't defend!
What’s more important is that neither of them is a leader, and neither of them can shoulder the responsibilities of a leader.

This resulted in the entire Pacers team fighting on their own without any system when Lin Tian was not there.

Because of the absence of Lin Tian, ​​everyone lacks fighting spirit, confidence, and resilience!
Defense is what requires the most fighting spirit, resilience and unity.

Although only Lin Tian has returned now, he is the backbone of everyone. With Lin Tian around, everyone has confidence!

The Pacers have once again become a true team, with everyone willing to sacrifice for others and to defend with all their might!
This is Lin Tian’s magic!

Back on the court, the player facing Lin Tian has been replaced by Kendall Gill. Ford was replaced by Skiles less than two minutes into the game because of two irrational fouls.

The statistics he left behind, apart from turnovers, fouls and blocks.

The bad news: Under his leadership, the rest of the Bulls didn't even get a single glimpse of the ball.

The good news: he only had to endure less than two minutes of nightmare journey tonight and could go down and rest.

And if Ford, who is young and strong and known as the second fastest player in the league, can't stop Lin Tian, ​​then Gill, who is 36 years old and can retire at any time, will have no chance of stopping Lin Tian!
There was nothing he could do except rolling up his trouser legs, taking a defensive stance, and watching Lin Tian rush into the inside.

"boom!"

Then, there was another explosion!
Lin Tian once again broke into the inside, facing Tyson Chandler who came to assist in defense, and completed a one-handed slam dunk!
Lin Tian is on full fire tonight!

Then, because Ford went down, the Bulls finally made their first successful attack.

Crawford received the ball from outside the three-point line and finally made the shot. The Bulls finally scored!
