NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"He can fly! He really can fly!" Kenny also held his head with both hands and said, "I have seen Chinese movies. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is my favorite Chinese movie! The people in it can fly!"

"I originally thought it was a movie, an artistic process! But now I see that it's all real!"

The Pacers' substitutes on the sidelines also stood up after this shot. They jumped around wildly. They didn't have to pay attention to their image like Barkley and Kenny. They were yelling wildly.

Then everyone raised their heads and waited to watch the replay on the big screen.

At this time, the advantage of Lin Tian being at home became apparent!
The last time he did a somersault and dunk over Garnett was at the Target Center. There were almost no fans cheering, and all he got was silence.

But tonight, inside the Conseco Center, the fans roared at him like crazy, releasing all their passion.

This ball is so scary!

After completing this 360-degree dunk in the air, Lin Tian was very calm. He looked at Garnett and said, "Didn't you see it clearly? Do you need me to do it again? I can show you again, so you can see how I did it."

Garnett didn't respond.

What could he say?
He really didn't see how Lin Tian dunked.

More importantly, he really wanted to see how Lin Tian did it.

Because even though he didn't see it, he was very sure that this was definitely a slam dunk that would go down in history!
"Kevin, calm down! It's just 2 points." Iverson came over, picked up the basketball, handed it to Garnett, and signaled him to send a baseline ball: "We will fight back next round!"

Yes, it’s just 2 points.

Garnett continued to comfort himself, and then forced himself not to look up and see how Lin Tian made this shot.

He was afraid that if he looked up, he would lose the courage to continue stopping Lin Tian.

After walking all the way to the front court with his head lowered, Garnett, holding his breath, positioned himself with his back to the basket, held off Bonner, and then reached out for the ball.

After getting the ball, Garnett also made the same turn as Lin Tian, ​​passed Bonner, and rushed to the basket for a one-arm iron-blooded dunk!

"boom!"

After a loud bang, Garnett bared his teeth and looked at Bonner menacingly: "You can't stop my boy! Go home and suck your milk! Go home! Or I'll kill you!"

Garnett was full of energy at the moment. He had to use this roar and shout to regain his ground and confidence. He now needed to ignite himself again and forget the moment when Lin Tian dunked on him just now.

"It's just a slam dunk. It can't even make the top ten. What are you yelling about?" But before Garnett could finish his trash talk, Lin Tian stood in front of Bonner and said to Garnett, "Or maybe you didn't enjoy the dunk by me enough, and you want a real, direct, no-explanation dunk?"

"I'll be there soon, just wait patiently! Unless you don't have the guts to continue standing inside!"

"I'm right under the basket! If you have the guts, come anytime! I welcome your challenge!"

Lin Tian's shouting actually brought back some of Garnett's bloodiness. He scolded Lin Tian without giving in, then ran back to his own half at a high speed, clapping his hands hard.

"Everyone, get ready! That bastard said he wanted to dunk on me! Let's give him a good beating! Let him know that Minnesota's inside line is not that easy to break through!"

"Yes!"

Not to mention, Garnett's prestige and status in the Timberwolves are absolutely unquestionable. He has absolute say and deterrence in the team. When he started roaring and indicated that he would not give Lin Tian any chance, Lin Tian really failed to find an opportunity to rush in and face Garnett for several rounds in a row.

The players from both sides once again entered into a period of back-and-forth tug-of-war on the court.

The main players of both sides also returned one after another during this period.

After both sides entered the duel with their full main lineups, Iverson and Garnett from the Timberwolves finally opened fire!
Their aggressiveness and desire to shoot in the second quarter were obviously higher than in the first quarter. Now they were the two main attackers, and the other three opened up space for them and attracted the attention of the defense.

As for the Pacers, they naturally still use the same old routine. On their team, only Lin Tian and Parker are capable of initiating and organizing offense. However, because the two have overlapping positions, the team still uses Lin Tian as the absolute core for attack most of the time.

Then, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the second quarter, the score between the two sides was temporarily fixed at 65:60.

The Timberwolves temporarily gained a 5-point advantage!

The Pacers had the ball. This time Lin Tian gave the ball to Christie, and he pressed Iverson all the way to the low post.

Just now, Iverson successfully deceived Lin Tian with a change of direction, shook off Lin Tian and rushed to the basket to score 2+1. After making this shot, Iverson yelled at Lin Tian.

So in this round, Lin Tian must teach Iverson a lesson. There are some trash words you can’t say!

You'll have to pay the price after you spray!
As soon as he saw Lin Tian in the low post, Iverson had learned his lesson. He no longer stupidly pressed against Lin Tian in the low post, waiting for him to get the ball and play one-on-one. He knew that if he defended like that, the probability of him being able to hold off Lin Tian would be infinitely close to zero.

So this guy just chose to go around.

He blocked half of Lin Tian's body, then took a step forward and stretched out his hand to interfere with Lin Tian's catching the ball.

But obviously, Iverson had never practiced this move before, and he almost never backed up anyone, so his front defense was full of flaws and loopholes!
For example, the moment Lin Tian got around in front of him, he turned around and went inside!
He ran away again.

Iverson hadn't even reacted yet and was still reaching out to interfere.

Christie spotted the direction of Lin Tian's advance and made a two-handed ground pass to the inside. After Lin Tian got the ball, he slammed it hard on the floor, then raised one hand to the sky and took off like a helicopter.

"Come on, Lin! I'm ready!" Garnett howled like a wolf and quickly came to Lin Tian's front. This time, he again chose the defensive strategy of raising his hands high and standing still.

This time he was very far away from the basket and was outside the legal collision zone.

This dunk would only be possible if Lin Tian could fly directly over his head.

But flying over his head?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Garnett didn’t believe that Lin Tian had such ability at all. After all, Lin Tian was just a human being!

Yes! Lin Tian once jumped over French center Weiss in 2000. That guy was 218 cm tall, taller than Garnett.

But for that ball, Lin Tian had enough running distance, jumping space and distance to exert force, and Weiss was also stupidly putting his hands on his crotch instead of raising them high. Combined with these factors, Weiss was sent flying by Lin Tian.

But this time, Lin Tian had almost no space to run, and he jumped directly after getting the ball. At the same time, Garnett was in a better position, and he didn't leave Lin Tian any space to jump.

In addition to Garnett's raised hands and the fact that Lin Tian has gained almost 5 kilograms in weight in recent years due to changes in his playing style, and Lin Tian's age, he is no longer a 26 or 7-year-old boy, so he certainly can't jump as high as he did in 2000.

If Lin Tian changes this shot to a one-handed lob, there will be no problem! It can go in!
But want to humiliate Garnett by dunking over him?
Don't even think about it!

But Garnett obviously still underestimated Lin Tian.

He also oversimplified the types of dunks.

Lin Tian, ​​there is no need to fly over his head!

Garnett only felt that Lin Tian's jumping ability was not as good as it was in 2000, but he forgot that Lin Tian is now at least 2000 kilograms heavier than in 5!
"Oh!"

Garnett had no time to think, because Lin Tian had already bumped into him, and the two men had a head-on collision!

Lin Tian's entire lower body hit Garnett completely, and then an incredible huge force swept towards Garnett!

For a moment, Garnett was in a trance. He felt that the person who collided with him was not Lin Tian, ​​but O'Neal. He felt that he was not hit by Lin Tian, ​​but was hit head-on by a running rhinoceros!

Then Garnett lost his balance and could not stand. He stretched out his arms and could not control his body at all, and fell backwards.

But even though he fell backwards, Lin Tian was not separated from the person in front of him at all.

Lin Tian was almost chasing Garnett's body, moving forward all the way!
Then, this time, Garnett saw it clearly!
He saw clearly how Lin Tian dunked this time!
Lin Tian's entire body almost became a horizontal number '1' in the air. He leaned forward madly, grabbed the basket with one hand, and slammed the basketball into it!
Then Lin Tian grabbed the basket with one hand like he was swinging on a swing, and his whole body swung back and forth on the basket twice with a huge amplitude. Then, after making sure his feet were safe and that he would not step on Garnett, Lin Tian let go of the basket and fell to the ground.

At this time, Garnett was lying on the floor, motionless.

With that collision just now, he truly felt death.

Even the total time from his standing to the collision and then being knocked over was less than 1 second, everything happened in an instant.

But Garnett felt that moment was extremely long. He felt that everything around him slowed down, so he could clearly see what Lin Tian did.

He even saw his deceased grandmother and grandfather!

To put it simply: Garnett was dunked on by Lin Tian just now and it looked like a revolving lantern.

"Timeout! Timeout now!" Sanders saw Garnett lying on the floor motionless and called a timeout! He thought Garnett was injured! Garnett's fall to the floor just now might have hit his head directly, causing a concussion!

If Garnett has a concussion, then he really doesn't need to play this round of the game!
Saunders called a timeout in a hurry. The entire Timberwolves team was nervous, while the Pacers on the opposite side went crazy!
It happened to be a timeout, and the entire team rushed towards Lin Tian, ​​surrounded him, and frantically made all kinds of meaningless noises.

It’s so explosive!
In one quarter, he dunked two super slam dunks that will go down in history, and the person being dunked on was Garnett, one of the top defenders in history!
Blast!

Just these two dunks are enough to make tonight's game be mentioned and replayed countless times!
Destined to go down in history!

As for Lin Tian, ​​he showed his Versailles side at this moment.

"Offensive foul."

"Kevin was in a really good position. My shot was definitely an offensive foul, but the referee didn't call it. I was lucky."

If Reggie, Jordan or any other old baby had not retired yet, they would definitely slap Lin Tian on the head and angrily say to him: "You old boy are just pretending to be a piece of shit."

But unfortunately, all the members of the Pacers team are Lin Tian’s younger brothers, so no one exposed him at this time. On the contrary, everyone expressed their admiration for Lin Tian.

"How modest!"

“This is Lin!”

"A true MVP doesn't care about the gain or loss of one or two goals!"

"This is the pattern of a historical player!"

"Magnificent! Our leader is magnanimous!"

"Awesome! Awesome!"

Lin Tian was very happy with the praise from his younger brothers.

Serious person, who doesn’t like to be flattered by younger brothers?
"Oh, no! Oh, that's it! No, no, no, we need to improve it, we need to improve it!"

Lin Tian waved his hands and shook his head. After a while of humility, the pause was over.

Well, Carlisle didn't arrange anything, but obviously, Sanders on the opposite side didn't arrange anything either.

But for the Timberwolves, one less timeout doesn't matter. What's important is that Garnett is fine!
Through a quick examination by the team doctors and Garnett's own description, everyone was sure that he did not hit his head and did not have a concussion.

You can continue to play!

Sanders breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Garnett is still there, the team has hope, especially since the team is leading now, right?
Then, Sanders made a decision that she would surely regret.

"Kevin, take a break. LaSu comes on. There are only 1 minute and 20 seconds left. Keep up the momentum! We need to maintain our lead! Even if it's just 1 point, we have to enter the second half with a lead. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left, the Timberwolves, leading by 3 points, once again took to the court.

"What's wrong, Allen? Kevin was so scared by my dunk that he doesn't even dare to play?" Lin Tian saw that Garnett was not there and immediately mocked, "Then you have to apologize to him for me."

"After all, I think this guy probably doesn't have the guts to fight me one-on-one again, or even talk to me anymore!"

"Kevin is the bravest guy I have ever seen!" Iverson said as he continued to dribble the ball between his legs, then suddenly started to speed up. When Lin Tian wanted to catch up with him, he suddenly found a thick and wide wall of flesh beside him.

Nesterovich!

This guy came up quietly and set a screen for Iverson, who immediately accelerated and rushed to the inside. This Nesterovic usually kept a low profile, but during this screen, this guy secretly grabbed Lin Tian's arm, making it difficult for Lin Tian to break free and rush over to defend Iverson.

Another bitch!
Lin Tian grunted and exerted force again to break free from Nesterovic's control, but after this delay, it was impossible for Lin Tian to catch up with Iverson. However, after taking a look at the situation on the court, Lin Tian made a quick decision and ran towards Szczerbiak on the wing.

Lin Tiancai had just run halfway when the basketball miraculously flew towards him!
Iverson's pass!

This guy broke through and passed the ball, wanting to give it to Szczerbiak for a shot, but Iverson could never have imagined that Lin Tian actually predicted his prediction and directly intercepted the half-passed basketball in mid-air. Then Lin Tian turned quickly and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Launch a counterattack!

This time the steal came too suddenly, and half of the people on the court couldn't even react, and didn't even notice that the ball possession had been transferred.

Then when Lin Tian fought his way to the Timberwolves' half, only Cassell and Sprewell returned to the Timberwolves' half and entered the defensive position.

The two guys had a tacit understanding and double-teamed Lin Tian from outside the three-point line on the left, blocking Lin Tian on the left and right.

But just as Sprewell was about to step forward to help Lin Tian, ​​the basketball was no longer in Lin Tian's hands.

He made a ground pass, and the basketball passed between Sprewell's legs and flew straight to the middle. Parker, who was about to get there, grabbed the basketball with both hands and took off. This time, no one could stop him!

"Shh!"

Getting to the basket, Parker made an easy layup and scored another 2 points for the Pacers!
The difference between the two sides is only 1 point!

"FUXX!" Iverson, who had just made a mistake, quickly returned to the half court, received the ball while cursing, and continued to advance to the front court.

This time, because he was fast enough, Parker, who had just finished a layup, had no time to dodge and was directly stuck by Iverson.

Iverson did not give the Pacers any chance to switch defense or change opponents. He waited so long just for a chance to single out Parker instead of Lin Tian!

He almost ran all the way without slowing down at all. He just rushed straight forward and in the blink of an eye he reached the heart of the Pacers' territory before he stopped.

At the free throw line, Iverson suddenly stopped the ball. After the basketball changed two directions back and forth under his crotch, he suddenly turned around and dribbled with one hand. This time he flashed past Parker and went to the basket.

Then Iverson jumped up and threw a one-handed shot.

"Go to hell!"

But Iverson obviously didn't expect that while the mantis stalks the cicada, there is an oriole behind it!

The more beautiful his dribbling and attacking were, the more exciting it was to have Lin Tian, ​​who was waiting behind him, blocking his shot!
Lin Tian blocked the ball from behind and hit Haslem directly on the basket.

"Wow! Such a strong force!" Haslem even let out a scream. He didn't expect that Lin Tian's shot was so powerful.

But fortunately, Haslem's reaction was quick enough. He hugged the basketball and did not let it go out of bounds. Then Haslem passed the ball to Lin Tian immediately. Lin Tian dribbled the ball forward again at a rapid speed, and after making his way to the outside of the Timberwolves' three-point line, he stopped suddenly and shot!
It was his signature chase 3-pointer and a fast break 3-pointer!
"Shh!"

Then there was a crisp sound that ignited the entire Conseco Center!
3 points hit! The Pacers took the lead!
65:67!
Last 50 seconds!
"Hold on! Hold on! Don't be anxious! Everyone, hold on! Keep calm! Calm down, stay calm! Allen, you are the leader! You have to stay calm!"

Sanders' roar off the court did have an effect.

As expected, Iverson slowed down the pace in the following offense, patiently looking for opportunities. Finally, he passed the ball to Sprewell, allowing this guy to make a mid-range jump shot to tie the score for the Timberwolves.

Then the Pacers attacked. Artest took the ball in the low post and rushed forward, but his strong shot to the basket missed. However, Nesterovic failed to control the rebound and the rebound was grabbed by Lin Tian who suddenly jumped up from behind him.

Then Lin Tian jumped up again, and before Nesterovic could react, he put the ball into the basket with one hand!
67: 69!

The Pacers are still leading by 2 points!
Last 26 seconds!
Iverson slowed down again, he kept the time until the last 5 seconds before suddenly starting!
Facing Lin Tian's defense, the little guy rushed all the way to the free throw line and suddenly stopped abruptly. Then he pushed his shoulder towards Lin Tian, ​​took a step back, and then shot directly!

In this ball, Lin Tian failed to control his body when defending, and he dived to the ground a little too aggressively, which caused his arm to hit Iverson's arm!
"Shh!"

Then there was the sound of the basketball going into the net. Iverson finally got his revenge! He scored 2+1 on Lin Tian!

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

The excited Iverson raised his arms and shouted continuously in celebration.

Being able to hit a 4+2 with 1 seconds left in the second quarter allowed the Timberwolves to enter the second half with the lead again, which was definitely a huge boost to the morale of the entire Timberwolves team!

"Lin, we will win! We will definitely win tonight!" Iverson looked at Lin Tian, ​​breathing heavily, and issued a declaration of war to Lin Tian: "We will also win this series!"

"Daydreaming!" Lin Tian snorted and said, "I bet you that you won't enter the second half with a lead tonight."

"Whether you can make the free throw or not, you will definitely be behind going into the second half!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned and walked to a position near the midfield, preparing for the last 5 seconds of attack.

"Watch out for Lin! Everyone, watch out for Lin!" Sanders heard Lin Tian's trash talk and yelled from the bench, "Everyone be careful! Everyone be careful! Defend with all your strength! Retreat with all your strength!"

"I don't care whether Allen scores or not, you all should be serious! Defend him!"

Sanders' roar brought the attention of everyone on the Timberwolves to the extreme. They certainly hoped to enter the second half with a lead. Everyone was on high alert, guarding against possible attacks from Lin Tian.

"Shh!"

Iverson made the free throw, and then the entire Timberwolves team immediately went into defensive mode.

"Tony!"

Lin Tian did not go to catch the ball himself, but shouted Parker's name, and then he took the lead and ran towards the Timberwolves' half!
When Lin Tian ran, the defensive focus of the entire Timberwolves team immediately ran with him. In the entire backcourt, only Cassell was sticking to Parker.

But his speed is obviously not enough!

Last 3 seconds!
Parker suddenly accelerated the moment he passed midfield, immediately shook off Cassell, and continued to force his way into the inside.

Just when the Timberwolves suddenly realized that the Pacers' final attack might not be controlled by Lin Tian at all, and wanted to block Parker who was already unguarded, Parker passed the ball!

Last 1 seconds.

Lin Tian came out from the inside and received the pass from Parker two steps outside the three-point line. Then he turned around and took a long three-point shot!
"Buzz!"

"Shh!"

Lin Tian's buzzer-beating 3-pointer before the end of the half gave the Pacers a 2-point advantage again!

70: 72!

"What did I say, Allen? Now tell me who is leading into the second half?" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian yelled at Iverson from a distance: "Louder, I can't hear you!"

"Let's wait and see!" Unconsciously, this sentence has become Iverson's catchphrase. He has said this to Lin Tian countless times.

He was helpless.

What Lin Tian said was very annoying, but what he said was realistic.

What can Iverson do?
Iverson was also helpless! He also wanted to win once!

But just now, he had just scored a 2+1, and before he could feel proud for 5 seconds, Lin Tian shut him up with an ultra-long buzzer-beating three-pointer.

depressed!

Fortunately, the Timberwolves did not fall behind too much. The difference of 2 points basically made no difference to both teams being on the same starting line!

The score difference can be equalized in just one round.

The question now is how the Timberwolves will play in the second half!
How can they restrict Lin Tian!

"What a fantastic first half! It was a world of difference from the boring substitute matchup in the previous game that made people yawn!" During the halftime break, Barkley said excitedly: "Lin's buzzer-beating three-pointer and two dunks on Garnett."

"And Garnett and Iverson had fantastic performances! I can give it 99 points for the first half tonight! I will save the remaining 1 point for later. If the second half is even more exciting, I will add this point to the second half."

Kenny said, "I agree with you! This game seems to be the beginning of the finals. In this game, both sides really gave their all! Only a game like this deserves to be the finals of this season and is qualified to be the end of a season."

"Let's see how the stars of both teams perform in the first half!"

"The Timberwolves had a very balanced performance! Iverson scored a team-high 15 points, followed by Szczerbiak with 3 points after hitting three three-pointers. Garnett and Cassell each scored 13 points, plus Sprewell's 10 points."

"All five Timberwolves starters scored in double digits! Coupled with the energy contributed by several players on the bench, the Timberwolves played team basketball tonight. The whole team was extremely united, and their team spirit was amazing!"

"Their unity and selflessness are impressive! But they were still behind the Pacers in the first half!"

"Because the Pacers have Lin!" Barkley took over the conversation and praised Lin Tian. He would not give this kind of job to anyone else!
“上半场比赛，林打满24分钟，拿下37分7篮板8助攻4抢断4盖帽的恐怖数据！99%的球员，一辈子都打不出一场这样的表现，但林今晚只用了24分钟就做到了！”

"Lin was truly unstoppable and unpredictable tonight! The level he showed us was just too crazy and too scary!"

"Based on his performance in the first half, he will definitely get a triple-double tonight! Or even more than a triple-double!"

"Maybe 4 pairs, or even 5 pairs?"

"In NBA history, no one has ever had a five-double! But now, I think Lin might be able to do it!"

"He almost did it before!" Kenny suddenly said, "In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when Lin faced the American team, he scored a near quintuple-double!"

“没记错的话，那场比赛林拿下了52分15篮板10助攻8抢断8盖帽的数据！”

"Don't forget, that was an international match! That was a FIBA ​​match with only 40 minutes of playing time! If that game had been extended by another 8 minutes, no one knows what Lin could have done!"

"But tonight, maybe we have a chance to witness a brand new miracle?"

"After all, this is Lin!"

"I won't be surprised if he does anything, and I will take it for granted if he does anything incredible!"

"I think so too!" Barkley nodded, indicating that Kenny was right!

In the Timberwolves' visiting locker room, Sanders stood in the middle of everyone, giving a passionate speech: "Lin can't beat us alone! Impossible! In the first half, only Lin scored in double digits!"

"That's not scary at all! I know he had 8 assists, but that's only because the balls he passed were all chances! If they were in good shape, Lin would have at least 14-5 assists now!"

"Except for Lin, no one scored in double digits. This is enough to prove how good our defense is!"

"Also, although Lin had 8 offensive possessions, the Pacers' shooting was actually very poor. Without Lin, their team's 3-point shooting percentage was only 30%, and their mid-range shooting was also mediocre!"

"All of them except Lin are not in good form tonight!"

"In the second half, we'll have Kevin back, and he's totally fine! He'll handle the game, and he'll handle Lin, too!"

"In the second half of the game, we changed our defensive tactics."

"Let's double-team Lin! As long as he passes half court, we'll double-team him!"

"Let him pass the ball as he pleases! The other Pacers players can't grasp it! We will definitely win!"

"Also, Kevin, you have a very heavy workload. You will have a lot of tasks in the second half of the game!"

"Although we should let go of other Pacers' shots in principle, but for many shots, you have to block them, you have to defend, you can't just watch them hit those open shots!"

"Selectively release! You must understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand!" Garnett nodded solemnly.

"Very good! On the offensive end, we will not change the second half for now! Kevin, Allen, you two continue to make feints and baits to create space for the others!" (End of this chapter)
