NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"3 points! We want 3 points, and they must be quick 3 points." Sanders roared loudly in front of the bench, arranging their final tactics: "Sam, you serve! I believe in your experience and judgment."

"Wally, find a way to get rid of him, and then catch the ball at the top of the arc. You are our first chance! Try to give the ball directly to Wally, and then let him catch and shoot. We have to be quick on this shot!"

"Kevin, you are at the free throw line, you set screens for everyone and block the Pacers' defense. If your teammates don't have a chance to make a 3-pointer, then Sam, give the ball to Kevin and let him assist at the second point!"

"Fred, you've played for the Pacers, won a championship, and done many amazing things! I believe in you, you're our secret weapon. Stand in the far corner. If Kevin gets the ball, Kevin, give it to Fred first. I believe in his three-point shooting ability!"

"Allen, you are our ultimate weapon and final trick! If everyone else doesn't have a chance to catch the ball and shoot, then you'll save the world! I want you to run from here to here, and then make a circle here. I want you to attract all of their defensive attention."

"Finally, if Fred and Wally don't have a chance, then you move to the near side, Kevin will give you the ball, and you use your signature one-on-one to solve the game!"

"OK, that's it, everyone, any questions?"

"Then go ahead! Let's create a miracle!"

"Wally, you are not a weak shooter. Fred, you are the perfect championship puzzle that will never lose to anyone. Kevin, you are not a bad leader, you are the perfect core! And you, Allen, you are definitely not a selfish person, you just want to win!"

"Sam, you are better than anyone else, and you deserve respect more than anyone else! You are our backbone and locker room leader, and you are the most indispensable person on our team!"

"Go ahead, use the last 35 seconds to let the world know you again!"

"Kill the Indiana guys! Win the championship for Minnesota and for yourselves!"

After Sanders arranged everything he could, he pursed his lips tightly and looked at the court with a serious expression.

He knew very well that the only thing he could do next was to pray!

The Pacers used their most defensive and best-chasing lineup at this time: Lin Tian, ​​Christie, Artest, and Howard, the four forwards, appeared together, and Miller, the tallest and smartest, stood on the sidelines to interfere with the serve.

"Dudu!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, the Timberwolves players began running frantically, trying to find an opportunity to receive the ball.

They ran very fast, and the Pacers chased them even harder. Miller used all his energy on the sideline, constantly waving his arms, jumping up and down, and interfering with Cassell's vision.

Time passed quickly. Neither Szczerbiak nor Hoiberg had any chance to run out. The Pacers chased them too fiercely!

In the end, Cassell had no choice but to choose Plan B. He passed the ball to Garnett, who was unguarded at the free throw line, to prevent a serve violation.

After Garnett got the ball, he encountered almost no defense. The Pacers' strategy was to completely give up the entire 2-point area and let you score as you like.

Of course, Garnett did not go directly for a slam dunk. After getting the ball, he quickly passed it to the wing.

Although Iverson had no space at all and couldn't get rid of Lin Tian, ​​he finally received the ball.

At this time, Iverson was the only player on the Timberwolves capable of completing an extreme singles play under such circumstances.

Iverson held the ball near the baseline. Because there was not much time, he had no time to observe and hold the ball to look for opportunities.

He took the ball and made a big circle on the spot to push away Lin Tian's outstretched arm, and then immediately started to break through.

Iverson first made a crossover step and then a breakthrough. Then he took only one step toward the baseline and suddenly dribbled back between his legs, retreated back to the three-point line, and then jumped up and wanted to take a step-back three-pointer!
This move is exactly the same as the one Iverson used to shake off Tyronn Lue and then step over his head!
This scene has also become one of the most classic moments in Iverson's career.

But when the classic move appeared, Lin Tian couldn't make the classic moment reappear!
"Snapped!"

Just when Iverson raised the ball to shoot, Lin Tian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He seized the fleeting opportunity and slapped Iverson's exposed basketball.

"FUXX!"

Iverson clearly felt that the basketball was out of his control, like a spirit that had lost control and was flying away from him.

Iverson knew very well that what he lost was not only the ball, not only a chance to shoot, but also his chance to win the championship!

This basketball is like the O'Brien Trophy that symbolizes everything, and it is getting further and further away from Iverson!
You can see it, but you can't touch it.

Lin Tian hugged the basketball, then looked towards the front court and threw the ball out. With an incredibly quick reaction, Howard, who was running down quickly, hugged the basketball and rushed all the way to the front court to complete a slam dunk!

A dunk that sealed the victory, a dunk that ended the game completely!
"Lin stole the ball! Lin stole the ball! Lin stole the ball from Iverson! He did it! He did it! He did it all again!" Barkley screamed excitedly. He even stood up and twisted his fat butt in front of the commentary desk, doing an ugly dance.

"Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin!"

Kenny covered his face. He didn't want to watch the eye-catching dance. Instead, he protested: "Who can get this bastard out? He is ruining the greatest night in NBA history. I'm not sure if there is one, but I can't think of too many nights that can compare to this night."

"If you let me say, this is the greatest night in NBA history! It's greater than any other night! It's crazier! All the fans who watched the game tonight should be thankful that this is the greatest night in the NBA's 60-plus years of history!"

"Even if it's 10, 20, or 50 years from now, you can still talk about this night to your friends, relatives, children, and younger generations, and tell them that you experienced this night firsthand!"

"This night is definitely worth the money! This is wealth and experience that you can show off for the rest of your life!"

Barkley finally stopped his crazy and ugly twisting and sat back on the chair. He said excitedly, "Is there a more perfect night than this? Lin is so exaggerated! So exaggerated!"

At this moment on the court, the Timberwolves did not give up their offense. After Howard's dunk, they still chose to serve the ball quickly. The basketball was sent to the frontcourt and given to Szczerbiak in the first time.

Szczerbiak took a nearly desperate long-range 3-pointer.

But when the basketball bounced out of the basket... this meant that the Timberwolves' last chance was completely gone.

Miller hugged the backboard, waving his elbows fiercely, and then he stood there, wanting to wait until the end of the game.

But this guy was obviously so excited that he forgot the time of the game.

There were still 15 seconds when he got the rebound!

"8-second violation!"

After the time was up, the referee blew the whistle and gave Miller a violation.

But this obviously does not affect the overall situation. It is just an insignificant violation!

With an 8-point lead and less than 10 seconds left, it was impossible for the Timberwolves to make a comeback!
The door to miracle was closed the moment Iverson was intercepted by Lin Tian.

But Carlisle took advantage of this dead ball opportunity and replaced all his main players!
He replaced players one by one, wanting his players to enjoy the crazy cheers from the fans.

Miller, Lin Tian, ​​Artest, Howard and Christie left the court one after another, and the fans gave them waves of crazy and unending cheers.

Especially when Lin Tian was the last one to leave the field... the fans at the scene burst into overwhelming, wave after wave of cheers like a tide!

"MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!"

Shouts of MVP resounded throughout the stadium. This was the toughest, most tiring and loneliest season since Lin Tian debuted, and he did it perfectly!

Throughout history, no one else has been able to accomplish so many and such great things like he did this year!

Even though this was only the third game of the series, and even though there was still one more game to go, everyone believed that the Pacers had already won the championship! The next game was just a formality.

If you don’t believe it, just look at the desperate, painful and sad expressions of the Timberwolves players.

This was a game in which they gave everything, contributed everything and played their best, but ended in failure. Their last bit of morale had completely dissipated, and they accepted this frustrating and helpless outcome.

They know: their season can be declared over early.

Then when Parker, Tabak, Bonner, Brezek and Jeffries walked onto the court, the fans did not hesitate to cheer. No matter how big or small, how much or how little their contribution was during the season, they all tried their best.

They are all part of this team!

At the same time, fans have not forgotten the guys whose season was ended due to injuries.

When the camera turned to Chris Webber and Manu Ginobili who were sitting on the sidelines due to season-ending injuries, the fans at the scene did not hesitate to show their passion and gave them the highest level of cheers!

"Next year, I don't want to sit on the bench and watch my teammates win the championship! I want to be with them!" Ginobili's eyes were slightly red, and he felt very guilty about not being able to contribute.

"You'll have a chance, kid! We all have a chance to return to the top!" Webber patted Ginobili on the shoulder, looked up at Lin Tian who was sitting not far from him, breathing heavily and enjoying the wonderful victory, but there was something he didn't say.

That is……

“Maybe next year, Lin will be right across from us!”

Although there have been no messages or rumors so far, Lin Tian himself has not made any comments or statements on the matter.

But Weber knew, or many people knew it very well.

Lin Tian has played his last game in Indiana.

Um...no.

It's the penultimate game.

After all, there is still a game to go, right?

Even if it's just a formality.

"Buzz!"

More than 10 seconds later, when the desperate Minnesotans watched the time run out and threw the ball to the floor, Artest rushed to the court like a hungry tiger, hugged the basketball and shouted, "This is Lin's! This is Lin's!"

"Quintuitive double! Oh my God! Quintuple-double! I just realized what Lin did! Quintuple-double!" Artest was so excited that he was about to cry. Looking at him, he really seemed as happy as if he had gotten quintuple-double.

Lin Tian really tamed this wild beast into a poultry.

With the official end of the game, Barkley finally regained his sanity. He suppressed his excitement and conducted a final review of the game.

"Let's take a look at his stats again! Nothing else matters compared to Lin's stats tonight!"

“登场47分53秒，35投19中，3分球9投5中，12罚10中，疯狂的轰下53分15篮板17助攻10抢断10盖帽！NBA历史上的第一个5双，也是唯一一个五双！”

"How many records did Lin break tonight? No! Not breaking, but creating. I don't want to say more because there are too many!"

"Everyone, everyone just needs to remember one thing."

"That's what Kenny said, tonight is the greatest night in the history of the NBA!"

Kenny continued: "While praising Lin, we should also thank and praise the Timberwolves. Without their almost perfect performance and their equally unparalleled play, Lin would not have played such a wonderful game tonight!"

"The Timberwolves deserve respect tonight! Iverson played almost the entire game tonight, scoring 35 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals. Although he made 6 turnovers, he only made 6 turnovers against the full-fire Lin. I think this is worthy of praise!"

"And Kevin, he didn't play softly today. He proved how tough he is. He scored 30 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals. This is definitely the best game he has played in his career."

"In addition, Szczerbiak scored 6 points with 3 22-pointers, Sprewell scored 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, and Cassell scored 22 points and 9 assists. The Timberwolves' five starters all scored more than 20 points. They scored a crazy 130 points in total! But even so, they were unable to win a single victory for the team."

"Because not only did Lin Tian play the most exciting individual game in NBA history, but his teammates also tried their best and played a very exciting performance."

“阿泰斯特拿下全队第二高的17分和4篮板3助攻2抢断，克里斯蒂13分5篮板4助攻，米勒13分10篮板6助攻，哈斯勒姆也有11分9篮板的准两双入账！替补登场的帕克成为球队板凳席上的奇兵，拿下14分5助攻。”

"In addition, Howard, Bonner and others also scored points!"

"Although the Pacers tonight were not as balanced as the Timberwolves, they also had 6 players scoring in double figures! In this offensive battle tonight, both sides showed incredible and almost exaggerated performances!" "Both sides played defense tonight to the extreme. They both tried hard and played hard on defense, but the other side played with terrifying efficiency!"

"Tonight, both teams shot over 54%, both teams shot over 3% from 40-point range, and both teams shot over 80% from the free throw line! If we take away all the blocks and steals from both teams, the percentages would be even more outrageous!"

"I can only say that everything about this night was so perfect that it seemed unreal!"

"But in the end, it was the Pacers with the best players who won! Lin, along with his teammates, defeated the Minnesotans who refused to surrender!"

“134:142！步行者队以8分的优势，拿下了系列赛第三战的胜利！3：0！步行者队拿到了3个赛点，他们距离拿下自己7年内第6个和连续的第5个总冠军，只有一步之遥！”

On the court, after winning such a crazy victory, the Pacers players could no longer contain their excitement and madness. They all rushed onto the court, hugged and cheered each other. Finally, they once again surrounded Lin Tian in the middle.

Everyone knows that Lin Tian deserves at least 80% of the credit for surviving the united wolves tonight!
What he did on both ends of the floor was so outrageous that half the Pacers players couldn't play NBA live.

As for the Timberwolves players, they sat on the sidelines for a while, lonely and painful, trying to accept this unacceptable reality.

Then on this night, they no longer tried to show their grace, they were so uncomfortable.

Iverson, Garnett and others took a look at the celebrating Pacers players and slowly walked into the player tunnel.

They knew it was over! It was all over.

Their championship dream is over, and this series is almost over.

On a night like this, no one would laugh at the Timberwolves' lack of grace, nor would anyone laugh at their leaving without saying goodbye. Their performance was enough to gain respect.

At the press conference later, when Lin Tian pushed open the door and walked in, all the reporters on the scene actually breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that this guy would stand up again, as he had similar precedents.

Everybody is worried!
On such a night, if there was no interview with Lin Tian himself, these reporters would be so worried that they would lose at least 10% of their hair!
But the moment he came in, everyone was quickly relieved and immediately cheered wildly.

On such a night, Lin Tian convinced not only the fans and players, but also the reporters.

It's crazy and scary.

"Lin, first of all, congratulations on leading the team to win this crucial game tonight. Some people say that your performance tonight is one of the best in NBA history. What do you think?"

"I think they are wrong." Lin Tian showed his signature smile and said, "The best in history, no doubt about it."

Wow! It tastes right!

Still that arrogant attitude.

Lin Tian's first answer made the reporters like sharks that smelled blood. They knew that Lin Tian would go all out tonight and would definitely satisfy all their questions!
It’s on fire, isn’t it?
"After such a game, do you think you are the best in NBA history?"

"I don't know if I am the first one, I won't give myself such a title. The real king just needs to sit there, and countless people will put the crown on him."

"Do you think your championship is secure? Do you think the Timberwolves will still pose any threat to you?"

"No more! They won't pose any threat anymore. The next game will be the last game of the season, and we will end everything!"

"What does this finals mean to you? Is there anything special about it?"

“Unity! This is the year we are most united and trust each other the most! We trust our partners without reservation, and we expose our backs to our teammates without hesitation. We can do what we should do to our heart’s content, because we know that our friends will help us fill in the weaknesses we expose!”

"So will the next game be your last game in Indiana? Will you leave the Pacers in the offseason? Will you follow the 'God Clause' and sign a new super contract worth more than $5 million over five years?"

"The season isn't over yet, I won't answer questions that are not related to this season."

cut!
As soon as Lin Tian said this, the reporters booed.

Just now they said the season was over, but in just one question, it turned out that the season was not over and was still going on? Shame on you!
"To get a five-double, a unique statistic in NBA history, to be the only one in NBA history, what does this mean to you?"

"It means I'm the only one in history!"

Maybe Lin Tian was unhappy about the question about where to go during the offseason, so he began to deal with all the subsequent questions.

"You guys are leading 3:0, how does it feel?"

"It felt like we had a 3-0 lead."

"Being able to beat the team of Iverson and Garnett, two guys who entered the league almost at the same time as you, does that make you feel that you have dominated your rookie class?"

"It would make me feel like I beat the combination of Iverson and Garnett."

"How do you like the climate in Minnesota? Does playing there make you nervous or excited?"

“I play in Minnesota just like I play in Minnesota. It feels very Minnesota.”

……

When the interview reached this point, everyone knew: it was time to end.

Standard principles of non-violence, non-resistance and non-cooperation.

This press conference started off well but ended in a hurry.

However, although the second half of the press conference was disappointing, just based on the beginning of the press conference and Lin Tian’s ambiguous answer, and of course the most important thing is Lin Tian’s horrific performance tonight.

When all these things are added together, it is enough to shock the entire basketball circle and even the entire sports world!
In other words, the remaining 27 teams in the league have now entered a state of being left alone, with the various superstars going on vacation or participating in business activities, and have long been scattered all over the world.

Otherwise, the American media tonight will definitely ask every team what they think about Lin Tian’s data.

Unfortunately, with everyone away, the Timberwolves were the only team the media could stop, and it was clear that the entire team was in a bad mood.

For example, Garnett, who represented the team at the post-match press conference, encountered a problem.

"Lin got a five-double tonight. As a player who entered the NBA in the same year as him, and as a top star known for his versatility, do you have any suggestions for his performance tonight?"

"Suggestions?" Garnett's eyes widened like two copper bells, and he pouted his lips and said, "He got a quintuple-double. What damn advice can I give him? Tell him to hold back in the next game and not beat us to death? FUXX!"

"It's such a nice, sunny day, and all I've encountered is shit."

This question also became the last question Garnett answered in this press conference.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the scene.

Unhappy, very unhappy.

Garnett's attitude is basically the attitude of the entire Timberwolves team. They have no intention of showing grace, praising and applauding Lin Tian now.

Maybe in another five or ten years, they will have the leisure to do so, but now, obviously not.

However, even though the American media cannot catch too many stars for interviews and to make big news at the first time, it does not mean that reporters from other parts of the world are not working.

McGrady was interacting with fans and answering reporters' questions while attending an event in London. Suddenly, a reporter said, "The latest news, Tracy, Lin just scored 50+10+10+10+10."

"What the hell?" McGrady looked at the reporter, as if he wanted to carefully determine whether this guy was joking or not. At the same time, he was recalling whether tonight was April Fools' Day. After thinking for a long time, the guy finally asked cautiously, "Is it some amateur league? Like Rucker Park?"

“是在NBA总决赛第三场的比赛中，林轰下的这个数据，最终最准确的数字是53分15篮板17助攻10抢断10盖帽。”

"What do you think about this?"

"What do you think?" McGrady stared at the reporter for dozens of seconds. Then he mumbled something incomprehensible. The guy ignored the reporter and continued to sign autographs for the fans.

After casually signing a few names, this guy was obviously not in good shape. He hurriedly ended the event and turned to leave the venue.

In Paris, Kobe also widened his eyes after hearing this data. He was in a daze for a long time, then shook his head and said: "I will try to do this once, and I will continue to increase my training volume."

In China and Hong Kong, O'Neal's eyes widened in disbelief, "How much? 50+, and five pairs? FUXX! Are you sure today isn't April Fools' Day?"

Wearing a helmet, a cigar in his mouth, and a glass of wine in his hand, Jordan, who had a rather mixed look, was originally inspecting the progress of the renovation of his stadium in Charlotte, and then suddenly someone informed him of Lin Tian's data.

The former NBA champion became yet another guy with eyes wide open. After a long pause, he muttered, "Fuck monster."

Jordan then reacted quickly. He looked at the employees around him and said, "Go find someone to stop the reporters. Stop all the reporters. I don't want to see any reporters in the next three days."

"FUXX! I'm not accepting any interviews at this time!"

The reactions of these people were basically everyone’s reactions to Lin Tian’s performance.

Shocked, unbelievable, unbelieving, dazed, pupils trembling...

This also shows how crazy Lin Tian’s performance tonight was.

Just as Lin Tian himself said, his performance tonight is unique and top-notch in the entire NBA history!

The top of the pyramid is not worthy of describing Lin Tian’s performance tonight. We need to add an extra lightning rod on top of the pyramid and let Lin Tian stand on the lightning rod to match his performance tonight.

"50 points in a single game and a quintuple-double! The most unbreakable record in the NBA is born!"

"Unprecedented and unmatched! Lin Yiye achieved epic numbers, and no one will be able to approach this achievement in the next 30 years!"

《Break history? No! Lin made history tonight! He brought the game into the real world! 》

"It's like playing a game! Lin Tian fills up the data column in an unbelievable way!"

《Absolute GOAT! Lin is only away from the coronation with the accumulation of data and qualifications! 》

"Magic: I once said that Lin could become the best point guard in history, but now I realize that this comment is an insult to him!"

"How much history did Lin create tonight? Each one of them is enough to make people chase after him for 30 years!"

"The strongest Timberwolves force out the strongest battle in history! Lin becomes a god in one battle? No! Lin kills gods in one battle!"

"I come! I see! I conquer! Caesar officially reigns in the NBA!"

《Who on earth can stop Lin? Maybe we can only let T800 and T1000 team up to give it a try! 》

"Even Spielberg doesn't have such imagination! Lin is the king of basketball!"

《Unparalleled in the world! This night, Indiana is shrouded in holy light!》

Crazy fans, crazy media, crazy players, crazy basketball community.

Everyone went crazy that night.

Only Lin Tian was there. He returned to his home early and fell asleep on the bed.

He played almost the full 48 minutes tonight and he really needed rest.

In his arms, he held the game ball that Artest had grabbed for him tonight. (End of this chapter)
