NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Even though Nelson received a technical foul, he still refused to give in and continued to yell at the referee and talk trash.

It was as if the referee had just called a harmless foul when the Knicks were leading by 30 points, but had instead called off a buzzer-beater for the Knicks.

Angry. Nelson's level of anger at this moment, at least, seems to be similar to when he told Cuban to shut up and get out in the Western Conference Finals.

The referee finally chose to stop tolerating Nelson's relentless and almost crazy trash talk.

Go to hell!
No matter if you are a thousand-win coach, the league's most senior head coach, or a three-time head coach of the year winner.

Don't spoil it!

"Technical foul! Second one! Get off the court!"

The referee once again made a technical foul gesture and pointed directly to the player tunnel, expelling Nelson from the game.

Originally, the referees thought that old Nelson would continue to pester them and keep arguing with them.

But in the end, just as Nelson received his second technical foul, the old man turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.

He left incredibly fast, without any regrets.

The referee was confused again.

Could it be that this old man has become suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

Or is it that at this age, some kind of dual personality has suddenly awakened?
How else to explain why this old man was so angry that he wanted to tear down the stadium one second, and wanted to whistle and leave the stadium the next second?

It's not a split personality, how do you explain this?
This doesn't make sense.

As for what old Nelson thinks?

What a clever old man!

It wasn't like he was really angry or unhappy with the call, and he knew it would seem fake if he just turned around and walked away.

But the problem is, two technical fouls and yelling at the referee means being ejected and accumulating two technical fouls, which is not a big deal.

But if he continues to yell at the referee and insists on making a big show, the league will most likely have to impose additional fines on him.

Never give money to the alliance!

Especially, we will never give money to the alliance for such things.

And the most important thing: When they were in Dallas, Cuban said that if he was dissatisfied, he would criticize until he felt satisfied. He would pay for all the technical fouls and fines, so old Nelson was so unscrupulous when he criticized.

But although Dolan is rich, he has never said such a thing.

Since the boss doesn't reimburse him, old Nelson certainly knows when to stop.

That’s enough. I’ll go back to the locker room, have a beer, rest for a while, and then find a physical therapist to massage my old waist and legs.

If you can fall asleep, sleep comfortably for a while.

So delicious!

Old Nelson left, and the team's chief assistant coach, Alvin Gentry, temporarily took over the position of head coach, and the game was proceeding lukewarmly.

The two sides on the court have now entered a tug-of-war, going back and forth over a 25-30 point difference.

Four minutes into the second quarter, the Bobcats temporarily narrowed the gap between the two sides to 4 points.

Then, Gentry of the Knicks called a timeout, and Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire and other main players walked onto the court.

"Hey, here they come!" Barkley was immediately excited when he saw the Knicks' current lineup: "The most powerful Knicks team is here!"

"Lin, Amare, Josh, Gerald, and Matt! All Knicks flight squadrons assembled!"

It wasn't just Barkley who was excited to see this Knicks lineup appear on the court. All the Knicks fans in front of the TV, Lin Tian's diehard fans, neutral fans and even many Charlotte fans at the scene were excited.

The Knicks' lineup is not good at shooting, defense, height, and even the technology is pretty mediocre.

Their shortcomings are obvious, but their strengths are equally impressive!
Good at flying and dunking, and also Lin Tian!
Everyone knows that when this group of people comes on the court, it means that in the next few minutes, you must not blink or relax, and don't change the channel, because an aerial relay or a coordinated dunk at the level of the Top Ten Plays or even the Top Ten Plays of the Year level may appear at any time!

As if sensing the fans’ expectations, this lineup gave the fans a huge surprise in the first round after entering the court!

It still started with the pick-and-roll between Lin Tian and Stoudemire, but this time when Stoudemire cut inside, Lin Tian did not break through. Instead, he stepped back from the three-point line. Then, after his downward route was blocked, Stoudemire immediately opened up space for the bottom corner.

Lin Tian and Stoudemire's retreat completely confused the Bobcats players who were originally prepared to block the inside and defend their dunk with all their strength. They had never seen this before!

The Bobcats, who were already dizzy and had poor defensive capabilities, were left with loopholes everywhere. They certainly could not notice that Smith on the other side had already started cutting towards the basket from the wing.

Lin Tian's pass was also delivered accurately at this time.

Smith jumped up from one step outside the 3-second zone and grabbed the basketball before he reached the highest point.

Then he did a 180-degree turn in the air with his back facing the basket, and then pulled the ball from the top of his head back to his waist and abdomen with both hands. He suddenly exerted force on his waist and stretched backwards, and slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Smith proudly performed the celebration move that Lin Tian designed for him and that originally belonged to him.

Cross your thumbs and place your palms toward yourself to form a pair of wings, then continue to spread and fold them.

"This celebration is so cool! I like it! Josh is like an eagle ready to spread its wings at any time. As long as prey appears, he will take off immediately and complete the aerial operation!" Barkley shouted excitedly: "180-degree turn and dunk in the air relay!"

"This shot should appear on the stage of the dunk contest!"

Barkley's roar is just the beginning!
Because in less than 30 seconds, Lin Tian and Xiao Si finally completed the connection!
Lin Tian dribbled into the Bobcats' territory, just like walking in his own backyard, and circled around the Bobcats' 3-second zone three times in a row!
He actually learned this move from Nash. In the past, Lin Tian rarely played like this because he had absolute explosive power and finishing ability and did not need to circle around looking for opportunities.

But since seeing Nash play like this, Lin Tian found the fun!
The feeling of being at ease, confident, and having everything under control, and the joy of playing cat and mouse are truly fascinating!
So ever since that big battle with the Suns, Lin Tian would do this from time to time to satisfy his own bad taste.

I guess Nash thinks so too!
Nash: Fuck you! I didn't do this to tease anyone. I didn't do this because I was physically weak and couldn't create a perfect layup opportunity. I had to find a way to get in and dunk. If I had a chance to get in and dunk, do you think I wouldn't want to?

Of course, it is difficult for Lin Tian to understand Nash’s thoughts. After all, Lin Tian would not really ask him about this.

Far away.

After Lin Tian circled the Bobcats' 3-second zone for three consecutive times, he finally broke down the Bobcats' defense. Their players were like chickens in the game of eagle catching chickens, following closely behind Lin Tian, ​​the mother hen. No...

Rooster, that's not right either.

Chicken head...hiss, it seems to be going off the track...

Ok……

Phoenix! Yes! They followed behind Lin Tian, ​​leaving the entire middle lane wide open. Not to mention someone standing under the basket to protect the basket, the entire Bobcats team's 3-second zone was left without a single defender because of Lin Tian.

When there is someone defending, Stoudemire always forces himself on the player, let alone now that there is no one defending?
He went straight into the inside, and after receiving the pass from Lin Tian, ​​he jumped up, picked up the ball, and did a windmill with both arms, slamming the ball directly into the basket!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Xiao Si raised his arms to both sides of his shoulders, with a ferocious face and let out bursts of domineering roars!

"This celebration is so domineering! I like this! Amare is like an eagle ready to spread its wings at any time. As long as prey appears, he will take off immediately and complete the aerial operation!" Barkley shouted excitedly: "A big windmill dunk in a positional battle!"

"This shot should appear on the stage of the dunk contest!"

Then, less than 10 seconds later, the Pacers caused the Bobcats to make a mistake again and started a fast break. Lin Tian stole the ball and threw it directly to the front court.

After getting the ball, Gerald Wallace did not do any fancy moves like his teammates, but instead used the simplest and most extreme way to show off his physical fitness.

Take-off height and glide distance!
He jumped directly from one foot inside the free throw line, stretched out his whole body, held the basketball with one arm, and after a beautiful glide, Wallace exerted force with one arm and slammed the ball into the basket!
After scoring the goal, Wallace did not make any expression. He still had a cold face, as if everything was under his control. His face was full of disdain and arrogance.

"What an arrogant celebration! I like this! Gerrard is like an eagle ready to spread its wings at any time. As long as prey appears, he will take off immediately and complete the aerial work!" Barkley shouted excitedly: "A super long-distance gliding slam dunk almost completed on the free throw line!"

"This shot should appear on the stage of the dunk contest!"

Then less than 2 minutes later, the Knicks got another fast break opportunity. This time it was Lin Tian who took the shot himself. He fought his way to the frontcourt, and after seeing that no Bobcats players were chasing him, he slowed down to adjust his angle and pace, and then picked up the speed again.

Finally, Lin Tian jumped from the side of the basket, turned 360 degrees, then passed the basketball in his right hand from under his crotch to his left hand, then swung his left hand towards the basket and slammed the ball into the basket!

"boom!"

After the loud bang, Lin Tian landed smoothly and stretched out his hands, making the shape of a glider. Then he imitated the gliding of an airplane and ran leisurely on the court.

Then Barkley got excited again!
"What a cool celebration! I..."

"You, you, you, shut up!" Kenny finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Barkley, "Are you going to say that this shot should appear in the dunk contest?"

"I think you should be in a language learning class! Improve your vocabulary. My 3-year-old nephew has three times more vocabulary than you! He can at least 20 different ways to praise those dunks."

"Instead of just repeating the same sentence over and over again like an idiot like you."

"Don't think I don't have enough words." Barkley said with a smile: "The point is whether I am right or not. Just say whether these dunks should appear in the dunk contest! Don't forget how boring the dunk contest was last year."

"Do you think it's a good idea to let these violent dunkers from the Knicks meet in the dunk contest when Lin Da, who has won two championships, rarely participates in the dunk contest again?"

"Good idea!" Even though Kenny always liked to argue and argue with Barkley, he had to admit that Barkley was right at this time.

What Barkley said is definitely a good idea!

"Three or even four of the players participating in this year's dunk contest are all from the Knicks, turning the dunk contest into an internal contest for the Knicks! It's interesting just to think about it! More importantly, these players on the Knicks are really qualified and talented to compete for the dunk championship!"

"Amare, Josh and Gerrard, maybe with Carmelo? It's exciting! It's really exciting!"

Barkley said proudly: "So, David! Our dear Mr. President, have you heard what everyone wants to say? Do you know what we want to see? Just arrange it like this! This is the best way to save the dunk contest!"

"Let these animals from the Knicks team give everyone a dunk at the All-Star Game!"

Barkley and Kenny here were happily calling on the Knicks players to compete for the dunk championship together, but the game on the court did not stop at all, and both sides were still missing shots and scoring.

The Bobcats are responsible for missing shots, and the Knicks are responsible for scoring.

However, the score in the second quarter was not as outrageous as that in the first quarter, and the Bobcats were not hit by a 30:0 offensive frenzy by the Knicks again. Although the score difference between the two sides continued to widen, it was not as exaggerated as in the first quarter. Until the end of the first half, the Bobcats were only 44 points behind the Knicks!
80: 36!

The Bobcats only lost 13 points in the second quarter. Compared with the first quarter, they won more than 20 points in this quarter!
Blood earned!
By the end of the first half, six Knicks players had scored in double digits!

分别是拿下17分的林天，拿下16分的小斯、12分的安东尼、11分的杰克逊、10分的史密斯和华莱士。

If the Knicks' 6 players scoring at most in the first half can be considered average, impressive or scary, then Lin Tian not only scored 17 points, but also had 17 assists!
Scored 17+17 in the first half!

In the history of NBA, there has never been any player who can complete 15 points and 15 assists at the end of the first half!

Lin Tian once again achieved a historical first!

Just as Lin Tian said to Jordan before the game, he was determined to make a big move tonight!
But even so, even though Lin Tian played epic data in the first half, even though the Bobcats lost to the Knicks by more than 40 points in the first half.

But the team owner Jordan was obviously relieved at the end of the first half.

so far so good!

Just over 40 points.

Judging from the Knicks' performance in the second quarter, these guys were more or less unable to play.

It's not that I'm physically unable to fight or there's a physical bottleneck, but I'm mentally unable to fight.

Bullying the weak is fun to say and exciting to do, but it won't last long!
As they continue to abuse their opponents, they will feel bored and think that there is no point in playing with their opponent who does not resist at all. They will easily relax and become lazy.

Normally, in a game where the suspense is completely killed at the first half, the leading side will most likely experience a cliff-like decline in both offense and defense in the second half.

Because they find it boring, they start to handle the ball and shoot more casually, they also start to make mistakes and give up on defense.

This is also why, in many games where the team is leading by 30 or even 40 points at halftime, nothing terrible happens in the end. It is common for a team to win by 30 or 40 points at halftime, but only win by 15 or 20 points in the end.

That's why!

So Jordan was really relieved after watching the second half of the second quarter between the two teams.

He could see that the Knicks players' concentration and mental strength had declined significantly.

They are not excited anymore!

The most obvious points were in the last few minutes of the second quarter, when the Knicks players did not celebrate or pose after dunking the ball. They were even too lazy to dunk a few balls and ended the attack directly with layups.

It was because the Bobcats' resistance was too weak that the game became boring for them.

Taking all factors into consideration, unless there are any accidents, tonight’s game will be between 3-40 points, or at most 50 points!

It’s not a particularly outrageous tragedy, it’s just what happened!

But Jordan also knew very well what he should do next.

Calm down! Stay calm! Don't provoke, don't pick up on Lin Tian's words, don't provoke that bastard, don't respond to any of his trash talk, and don't provoke or speak harshly to Lin Tian.

Don't let that bastard regain morale, and don't give that bastard any chance to rekindle the Knicks' obviously lost fighting spirit and focus. Tonight, losing by a maximum of 40 points is the worst that can happen!
This is Jordan's confidence!

But obviously, every time this happens, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen! (End of this chapter)
