NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"9 overtimes? 4 overtimes in a single game?" Lin Tian staggered and walked in front of Iverson with a look of disdain on his face. His expression at this moment was very much like that of a villain in movies and TV.

Anyway, after seeing Lin Tian like this, Iverson really wanted to beat him up.

At this time, if there was another shot in reverse, showing Lin Tian's arrogant expression with disdain and ridicule, and then another shot of Iverson with his big watery eyes, a firm, innocent and unyielding face, who looked like a good guy at first glance.

Tsk tsk tsk, Lin Tian looks more like a bastard and deserves a beating.

I have to say, when it comes to being annoying, Lin Tian’s level is the same as his basketball level, both are at the GOAT level!

"How can a person be so annoying when he is so handsome?" Countless fans watching the game in front of the TV asked the same question at almost the same time.

What is the reason? Is it the decline of morality or the loss of humanity?

Lin Tian: Both! Morality has been lost, and there is not much humanity left.

Jie Jie Jie!

"You must think that your game this time was extremely exciting and will go down in NBA history. You also want to regard it as a masterpiece of your career, right?" Lin Tian looked at Iverson and asked a standard villain-style question.

“What exactly do you want to say?” Iverson looked at Lin Tian. Although he was a head shorter than Lin Tian, ​​this guy’s aura was indeed impressive. He actually created the image of a righteous protagonist.

"What I want to say is that that round of the Western Conference Finals was the best I've ever seen! A match that truly reached perfection in every aspect!" Lin Tian laughed and continued, "Of course, that's based on the level of a rookie."

"This round of noobs fighting each other can be called a duel between two top noobs!"

"It's a pity that no matter how wonderfully you two noobs fight, noobs are still noobs. When you're done, it's time for hunters like us to harvest you. We'll take you home, pluck your feathers, soak you in water, cut you up, and roast and eat you."

"Pity."

"It's a pity that I'm too skinny, and the food I eat is dry and not satisfying. If Shaq and his team came to the finals, I would have more fun."

"You mean, we are not as good as the Lakers?" Iverson glared. This was the first time in his career that he entered the finals, and of course he didn't like anyone questioning and mocking him.

"That's what I mean." Lin Tian nodded without hesitation: "Don't you think that you are just lucky to enter the finals?"

"However, your luck only goes so far. In the face of such an absolute gap in strength, luck is useless. If I were you, I would start looking for plane tickets for a summer vacation right now. The farther and faster the better, preferably starting directly from Indiana."

"This is the only way to leave the place that makes you sad and desperate sooner!"

"Hehehe! Take care of yourselves!"

After Lin Tian laughed like a villain for the last time, he turned around and left, returning to his own half to warm up. Iverson, who wanted to bite his teeth to pieces, was left staring at Lin Tian's figure.

"I'm going to kill him in this series! I lost to him before because he always had the best guys around him, and I was always alone! But now, it's my turn to have a guy!"

"Allen, he is deliberately provoking you! You should calm down. Only if you calm down can we win!" Garnett stretched out a hand and pressed Iverson's shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"It's okay." Iverson snorted, "I know what's more important Kevin! I won't lose my composure! Tonight, we're still going to start with the pick-and-roll!"

"Okay!" Garnett felt relieved when he heard this.

If Iverson is really irritated by Lin Tian and plays one-on-one without any care, it will be fine if he has a good touch. But if he doesn't have a good touch or is in poor condition, the Timberwolves will surrender in minutes.

But now Iverson has taken the initiative to express his intention to play team basketball starting with cooperation, and Garnett couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He has grown up!

"Hello everyone! It's us two again tonight! Kevin Garnett's biggest fan, Minnesota's biggest fan for 20 years, Charles Barkley!"

Barkley's funny voice came from the TV. This time, this guy not only wore a Timberwolves jersey, but also pinned a wolf head brooch on his chest to show his "support" for the Timberwolves.

"And me, Kenny." Kenny's interest was obviously not as high as Barkley's. He obviously had no interest in this kind of play: "I hope the game tonight will be exciting enough! Let's see, the starting players of both teams have already appeared! Um..."

"It's still their strongest lineup! Neither side has changed their starting lineup! Charles, what do you think of the starting lineups of both teams? I want you to speak seriously, don't talk nonsense! Speak seriously!"

After Kenny repeatedly emphasized the importance of speaking seriously, Barkley did not act maliciously this time. He also knew when to stop, so this time Barkley said seriously: "From the perspective of the starting lineup, the Timberwolves can be said to have an absolute advantage!"

"The Timberwolves won all three matchups: Iverson vs. Christie, Sprewell vs. Artest, and Garnett vs. Haslem!"

"Nesterovic and Miller are evenly matched. Among the five positions on the court, only Lin can suppress Cassell. The Timberwolves have the advantage in the remaining four positions."

"From the bench, the Pacers have two strong players in Parker and Howard, as well as a natural big-game player, Bonner, who hit two key three-pointers in the conference finals."

"The Timberwolves are led by former All-Star shooter Szczerbiak, and former Pacers player Fred Hoiberg is also a very good shooter! In addition, there is the No. 1 pick that year, Ogwokandi, although Ogwokandi lost his starting position in the second half of the season."

"In the playoffs, this guy even lost his rotation position. In the Western Conference Finals, he hardly played except for a few times of slashing the Shark! But facing the Pacers team with a vacant interior and serious lack of players, if he can get back to his form, he is very likely to become a surprise weapon for the Timberwolves!"

"From these perspectives, if we only look at the strength of the two teams on paper and the matchup situation, the Timberwolves have the advantage! And it is very obvious."

"In other words, the Pacers' only advantage is Lin! Their only reliance and biggest factor in winning this round of the finals is Lin! If Lin can continue his form and output in the previous rounds, the Pacers have a high chance of winning the series."

"If Lin is restricted by the Timberwolves, then we should officially congratulate the Timberwolves for winning the first championship in team history!"

Barkley's nonsense was actually equivalent to saying nothing, but at least Kenny was satisfied.

Because this guy finally stopped talking nonsense and kept shouting about the Timberwolves championship and the Timberwolves dynasty.

That look really deserves a beating!
Fortunately, this fat guy is good at fighting, otherwise, with this guy's character, he would be beaten at least every three days!

On the court, players from both teams have officially walked onto the court. Nesterovic and Miller stood in the center circle ready to jump the ball, while the others stood still.

"Done?" Before Lin Tian went on the court, Carlisle suddenly asked him a question out of the blue.

"Done, adding fuel to the fire." Lin Tian blinked and made an OK gesture.

Tonight, Mr. Lin will definitely make those Timberwolves guys so tired that they won’t even have the strength to shit!
"Dudu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game. Nesterovic's jumping height was obviously insufficient, and Miller easily got the first ball possession of the night.

After Lin Tian got the ball, he did not intend to continue playing steadily as he did in the previous rounds. Instead, he immediately accelerated and rushed towards Iverson!

Seeing that Cassell was approaching his 40s, it was naturally impossible for him to catch up with Lin Tian, ​​who was running at full speed, even if he tried his best. In the blink of an eye, it became a two-man matchup between Lin Tian and Iverson!
In the Timberwolves, only Iverson can barely catch up with Lin Tian in speed.

The two men suddenly collided with each other while moving at high speed, but Lin Tian had no intention of slowing down. He first used his shoulder to hit Iverson, causing this guy to lose his balance.

Then Lin Tian suddenly changed direction in front of his body at an extremely fast speed without slowing down. The basketball moved from left to right, and he flashed past Iverson.

Lin Tian's speed was so fast that even Iverson's eyes widened and he looked back in disbelief.

Iverson really didn't understand how he was passed. At that moment, Lin Tian's speed was just too fast!

"God! God!" Barkley put his hands behind his head and opened his mouth. It was not just Iverson who he didn't see clearly just now. He also didn't see clearly how Lin Tian became straight, and how he suddenly left Iverson behind as if he had teleported.

I’m afraid 99% of the fans in front of the TV also didn’t see it. This ball happened too quickly!

"boom!"

Lin Tian on the court didn't care whether the fans understood it or not, nor did he care how Iverson felt when he was beaten so cleanly by him.

Lin Tian just rushed to the basket, then dodged everyone, and then slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand!
"It's worthy of being the finals! I think the first goal can be selected as one of the top ten classic moments of this season." Kenny said sincerely: "Lin's speed is really impeccable!"

Barkley added: "Not only was he selected, but he was also likely to be in the top three! It was too fast, really too fast! My scalp is still tingling now!"

"Allen, where are you?" After finishing the dunk, Lin Tian once again looked for Iverson, and then suddenly acted as if he had just seen him, and said with a look of surprise: "I thought I was going to lose you forever."

"At that moment, I felt like there was a whole galaxy between the two of us!"

"Shut up!" Iverson bit his lip. It was really a terrible feeling to be defeated in the way he was best at.

"If I were you, I would choose to rest! Have a good rest." Lin Tian grinned and continued: "Based on your current condition, what else can you do on the court except embarrass yourself?"

"I can beat you!" Iverson said with a gloomy face. He quickly came to the frontcourt and reached out to Cassell for the ball.

"Allen?" Garnett shouted in the low post, and then after seeing Iverson's eyes, Garnett breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to cover Iverson.

"FUXX!" Lin Tian was about to bypass the screen and continue to defend Iverson, but suddenly found that after he moved twice, Garnett was still in front of him.

Damn it.

I, Mr. Lin, was able to bypass O'Neal's screen in two steps. I am going to bypass you, Garnett. After two steps, you are still in front of me?

The distance of this moving screen is enough for Lin Tian to complete a breakthrough layup.

The moving cover has created the effect of a ghost wall for me, right?

You don’t even have the face!

Garnett was holding Lin Tian tightly, while Iverson had already reached the free throw line. After glancing at his teammates, he took a mid-range jump shot and made it!

"I can score too! They're both 2 points, no difference!" After scoring the goal, Iverson looked at Lin Tian and started to trash talk back.

"You call this no difference? I've seen many people who like to show off with all kinds of equipment when playing basketball, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you bring a mobile wall!"

"The referee didn't blow the whistle, it's a good shot! Isn't this what you taught me back then?" Iverson continued to scold Lin Tian. Although he had been eliminated by Lin Tian several times in the playoffs, he was really not afraid of Lin Tian.

In other words, even if the real Jesus came, Iverson would not be afraid, because there is no one in this world that he is afraid of.

But Lin Tian scratched the back of his head, he couldn't remember.

I also taught Iverson this?
Am I so bad that I taught Iverson such dirty things?

Sin, sin!
After each team's top scorer scored a goal, both teams set the tone for this quarter.

Lin Tian VS Iverson!
In the rest of the first quarter, these two players took on a lot of offensive tasks and shooting rights for the team. They kept attacking, shooting, and scoring like they were scoring so fast!

比赛前8分钟，两个人打的还算是势均力敌，林天7投5中，3分球1投1中，罚球2罚全中，拿下13分3篮板2助攻。

艾弗森8投5中，3分球2投1中，罚球2罚全中也拿下13分。

At least in the first stage of the series, Lin Tian and Iverson were tied.

The score between the two teams was also 21:20, and the Pacers were only temporarily leading by 1 point.

But that’s all!

In the next game, Sanders had to replace Iverson and Sprewell in advance due to physical problems, leaving only two giants, Garnett and Casey, and Szczerbiak who came on as a substitute.

Although the Pacers also made adjustments, Lin Tian did not go down!
At this point in the season, everyone has actually reached a consensus: as long as Lin Tian doesn't go down, then no matter how many times he goes up and down, all the adjustments made by the Pacers will be fine-tuning!

If Lin Tian goes down, that will be a major adjustment!
In the first round after Iverson went down, Lin Tian immediately couldn't wait to open fire!

Lin Tian, ​​who had just been fighting with Iverson, first rushed directly to the basket and completed a dunk against Garnett.

Then Lin Tian raised the intensity of defense and started to press Cassell all over the court, forcing the old monster to stagger when dribbling. Cassell's old bones almost fell apart because of Lin Tian's sudden pressing defense. But even if Garnett immediately stepped forward to screen Cassell, when he cooperated with Iverson before, Garnett's screen was always blocked by Lin Tian. But this time when it came to Cassell, Lin Tian suddenly took a breath and blocked in front of Garnett, squeezing through the screen.

At the same time, Lin Tian opened his hand and successfully predicted the direction of Cassell's dribbling, stealing the basketball from his hand. Then Lin Tian launched a counterattack and rushed to the front court again at full speed.

"boom!"

Then, of course, there was a violent slam dunk that quieted the center of the target!
“Come on, weakling.” After the dunk, Lin Tian deliberately passed by the Timberwolves’ bench when returning to defense, and taunted Iverson who was sitting there: “Otherwise you won’t have to play tonight!”

"Because I can easily widen the score!"

"I'm coming right away!" How could the angry Iverson stand this? He jumped up directly, looked at Sanders, and asked to play.

Sanders shook his head and asked Iverson to rest for a while.

But it was not so easy for the provoked Iverson to calm down. He did not sit down, but bargained with Sanders.

While the two were bargaining, the Timberwolves had already used a screen to pass the ball to Nesterovic under the basket, giving him a chance to dunk directly under the basket.

But before Nesterovic could lift the ball, he suddenly felt his hand loosen.

The basketball was intercepted!
When he looked down, he found that there was no one in front of him. He quickly turned around to look again, only to find that the basketball and the figure of a number 7 were already moving away from him. They had already passed the free throw line and were about to rush to the three-point line!
Lin Tian's speed in assisting defense, stealing and advancing was truly astonishingly fast!

When he once again made a mid-range shot in the transition period between offense and defense, he once again passed by the Timberwolves bench.

"Still chatting? What are you talking about so happily? If you don't decide whether to let Allen play or not, you will be completely separated!"

What Lin Tian said was not a lie. After Iverson went down, the Timberwolves' offense was out of power and Lin Tian had already scored three goals in a row!

27: 20!

It is indeed heading for double digits.

Sanders still didn't let Iverson play. Although he didn't tell anyone, in his heart, Sanders actually wanted to give up the game!
He felt that the effectiveness and winning rate of fighting hard in this game were far less than betting on the next game and trying his best in the next game.

However, although he wanted to do it, he had not made up his mind, nor had he discussed it with anyone.

He dare not.

Just when Sanders was hesitating, wondering whether to try to catch up or simply replace Garnett, the Timberwolves' offense hit Garnett's hands, and it was a particularly good opportunity for the big team to play against the smaller one.

Defending Garnett behind him was Christie, a forward who was at least 15 centimeters shorter than him.

Facing an opponent with absolute advantages in height, strength and weight, Garnett took the ball with his back to the basket and waved his hand to signal everyone to move away from him, making room on one side for him to play one-on-one.

Then Garnett dribbled the ball, leaned back, tested Christie's defensive center of gravity, and then suddenly turned around at an extremely fast speed and jumped up.

Just raise your hand and it’s an iron-blooded shot from a high position!

I have to say that there was nothing wrong with the shot, the speed was extremely fast, the posture was very graceful, and the completion rate of the technical action of turning was quite high.

Christie had almost no reaction to the block and could only watch the basketball fly over her head.

"Boom!"

However, no matter how perfect the previous steps are, if you miss the last one, all your efforts will be in vain!

A big man who is at least 213 cm tall and can't even play against a 2-meter-tall forward line, actually didn't force his way into the paint but chose to turn around and jump shot. This is Garnett's usual habit and the most criticized aspect.

This jump shot is so iron-blooded!
Howard, who had just come on the court, grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lin Tian outside the three-point line immediately. After Lin Tian got the ball, he made a cross step + dribbled behind his back and directly threw Cassell behind him, and once again launched a counterattack towards the frontcourt!

This goal also proved once again that Cassell is very experienced and still has first-class offensive ability.

But on the defensive end, facing someone as fast as Lin Tian, ​​he really could not do anything except being treated like a wooden stake by Lin Tian.

After easily passing Cassell, although the Timberwolves still had Szczerbiak standing behind Cassell, this guy was strong in offense but weak in defense and had no defensive attributes, plus he was a white man with average physical fitness.

Such a player defends Lin Tian?
Lin Tian was so pure that he just pretended he didn't exist!
Lin Tian rushed all the way to the three-point line, and just glanced at Szczerbiak who was constantly retreating and had no intention of pressing forward. Lin Tian suddenly stopped, and then shot from outside the three-point line!
Lin Tian rarely used his signature three-point shot throughout the entire playoffs this year.

"Shh!"

But he didn't take it out, just because Lin Tian had many weapons in his arsenal, not because he was not good at it!

After a crisp sound, the difference between the two sides reached 10 points!
"Coach!" Iverson, who had just sat down, stood up again. Seeing that the score difference between the two sides was about to exceed 10 points, Iverson really couldn't sit still!

It was the first finals of his career, and he really didn't want to watch his teammates being left behind by the opponent.

Sanders gritted his teeth but still couldn't make up his mind.

He neither made up his mind to tell Iverson that we let this game go, nor did he have enough courage to say that we should go for it tonight!

As the two sides were struggling, the Timberwolves failed to attack again.

Christie dribbled the ball, Lin Tian and Howard were on each side, Christie passed the ball to Lin Tian, ​​and Lin Tian threw the ball into the air.

"boom!"

Then there was another bang, and Howard made an aerial relay, helping the team get another 2 points!
12 points!

Since Iverson left, the Timberwolves haven't scored a single point!
"Coach!" Iverson spread his hands. He was so anxious that he almost jumped up. He really didn't know what Sanders was hesitating about. It was a great opportunity. The two sides were originally in a balanced game situation, but he just watched it being pulled apart and did nothing?
Hearing Iverson's call, Sanders finally made up his mind!

"Alan, come on! Catch up the score and let Sam come down and rest for a while!"

As soon as he heard that he could play, Iverson immediately threw off the towel, took advantage of the dead ball, and quickly went on the court to exchange with Cassell.

came back?
Seeing Iverson coming back, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if he doesn't come back, the show can't go on.

It really needs to be opened up completely!
After most of the match, Lin Tian had clearly sensed one thing -

The Timberwolves are just a bunch of useless people right now, looking good but useless!
Their movement speed, help defense speed, retreat speed, as well as the quality of offensive screens and enthusiasm for running are all not good!

Almost everyone on this Timberwolves team is in a state of exhaustion and has not yet fully recovered.

The level they can perform tonight is at most 70% to 80% of their peak period.

Otherwise, as soon as Iverson went down, Lin Tian and his men tightened the tempo of the game a little and quickly launched an 11:0 offensive wave.

This wave of attack was so easy!
Originally, Lin Tian just wanted to force Iverson back to the court and not let him rest, but who knew Sanders was so patient.

To be honest, if Sanders still doesn't let Iverson play, then Lin Tian can only make a few low-level mistakes to prevent the score from expanding quickly.

Because the Pacers' goal today is not just to win!
They also have to keep the Timberwolves' main players on the court for a long time!

And you have to be in the state of giving your all and wanting to risk your life on the field!
Today, Lin Tian is going to completely drain the Timberwolves' physical strength that they have accumulated with great difficulty!
Not a drop left for them.

The Pacers not only have to win tonight, but also the next game!

Then we cannot let the score difference widen quickly and lose suspense quickly. It must be maintained at a distance that the Timberwolves feel they can catch up with as long as they work harder.

So, after Iverson came on the court, Lin Tian's defensive intensity quietly decreased again, and the full-court press turned into full-court defense. Lin Tian no longer squeezed so hard under Garnett's screen.

But of course, Lin Tian is not giving up, at least he won't let others see that he is giving up.

From the visual effects, it can be seen that Lin Tian tried his best to break free from Garnett's cover and rush over to defend Iverson. Unfortunately, Garnett's cover was too good, so he could only watch Iverson break into the inside to complete the layup and catch up with the score!

This behavior is not obvious on the surface and seems as if nothing has changed, but in fact it is almost like releasing the entire Pacific Ocean. It will definitely stimulate the adrenaline of the Timberwolves and drain them dry!
"Come on, Lin! Aren't you very arrogant? Don't you want to widen the score? Don't you want to win? Guard me! Guard me if you can!"

"Don't cover if you have the guts! Let's fight one-on-one if you can!" Lin Tian 'intentionally' said some childish trash talk. He wanted to make Iverson feel that he had nothing to say and had been forced into not being able to utter any trash talk, so he could only use this very childish method of provocation to attack Iverson's illusion.

Normally, Iverson would be excited about this, and then hold the ball more, attack more, and set screens with Garnett more!
Then wouldn't his physical strength be lost rapidly?
However, Lin Tian obviously overestimated Iverson.

After Lin Tian said this, Iverson actually nodded: "Come on! One-on-one! Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'll beat you into the Atlantic Ocean!"

Hey? Ah? Na?
agreed?
You really don't want to cover it?
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that on the stage of the finals, there would be someone who would give up his most effective offensive method and challenge him one-on-one just because of some meaningless trash talk?

Don’t bully the young because they are poor, right?

Not even 3 years to the east? 3 seconds to the east, seconds to the west?

However, seeing Iverson accept the challenge, Lin Tian did not hesitate.

We agreed to do one-on-one, so let’s do one-on-one!

"Allen, do you remember how I, your uncle, played with you when we first met in the playoffs? Hehehe!" Lin Tian couldn't help but let out another villain laugh, then turned around and started to attack from behind!

Starting from the top of the arc, Lin Tian turned his back and exerted force. With only two collisions, he pushed Iverson all the way from outside the three-point line to a position only one step away from the three-second zone.

If it were a normal Timberwolves team, their help defense should have come up at this time!
But tonight, they were obviously tired, and they obviously couldn't show the same good mobility as usual. Tonight, even Garnett didn't sweep around to assist in defense, but just chose to squat in the interior to defend.

If you don't come in, I will never go out!

After taking a look at Garnett's position, Lin Tian was not in a hurry to go in and confront Garnett, but slowly hit Iverson again, then turned around and stepped back, using the trick that Garnett had just used, stepping back and shooting a jump shot!

"Shh!"

A crisp sound was heard again, and Lin Tian scored using the same moves as Garnett. Like Garnett, he chose to step back and jump shot when he had a height advantage of more than 10 centimeters.

The difference is that Garnett didn't score, but Lin Tian did.

"Did you see that, Kevin? That's a mid-range jump shot after a post-up game! If you had known me as your teacher sooner, you wouldn't have only scored 35+ in one playoff game in your career! Your average points per game is not as high as mine!"

He trash-talked Garnett and completely ignored Iverson.

Lin Tian scored a goal and humiliated two people at the same time!
Lin Tian's goal can be called the king of cost-effectiveness!
In the next round, Garnett, who rarely entered the three-second zone tonight, was actually very ruthless. After getting the ball in the high position, he made a fake shot and fooled Haslem, then he jumped into the inside, jumped up and slammed the ball towards the basket.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Garnett made a dunk and continued to narrow the score!

After making this shot, Garnett excitedly pounded his chest wildly, showing his tough character!

"Come on! Come on again! You said I can't make a mid-range shot? Then can you do this?" After scoring the goal, Garnett looked at Lin Tian viciously.

"Don't run, stay under the basket if you dare, and then see if I can do this!" Lin Tian once again chose not to even look at Iverson, and even pushed Iverson impatiently, indicating to him, "Little brother, please make way and don't block me from trash-talking with your team boss."

Lin Tian's push and continuous ignoring successfully aroused Iverson's anger.

beat! Fight to death!
If I don't beat you to death tonight, Lin Tian, ​​I won't leave! (End of this chapter)
