NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Here they come! Amare and Lin are together again! They are both ready! How are they going to dunk for the fourth time? Let's see, Lin gets a basketball, or Lin passes it to Amare, and Amare also gets a basketball, too?"

Barkley excitedly explained this dunk, and then he was surprised to find that Lin Tian and Stadameier each had a ball in their hands!

That’s not all. After the two of them stood there with a ball each and chatted for a while, Xiao Si asked someone for another ball.

Three balls!
Three balls appeared on the court at the same time.

"What are they going to do?" Barkley asked puzzledly: "How many times are they going to dunk? What are they going to do?"

Barkley's question is obviously everyone's question.

They were very curious! They wanted to know what these two were going to do.

These two people were obviously trying to create some show effect on purpose. After discussing for a long time and tossing the three basketballs back and forth between their hands several times, Lin Tian finally stood on the left side of the basket with two basketballs, and Stoudemire stood outside the three-point line with one basketball.

After letting out a long breath, Lin Tian stepped on a ball and held the other basketball in his hand. Then Xiao Si suddenly started running wildly.

Lin Tian under the basket saw the right opportunity and suddenly threw the basketball in his hand into the sky. This time he threw the ball quite high. Then he moved almost at the same time, and made another rainbow pass with his legs, picked up the basketball, and flew towards the basket in the same way.

Lin Tian's movement was incredibly fast, and the two basketballs flew towards the basket almost at the same time, but they landed at different points, one high and one low, and there was an obvious distance between the two balls.

"Snap!" Xiao Si just flew to the side of the basket at this moment. He slammed the ball into the basket with his left hand and reached to the side with his right hand, catching the pass that Lin Tian picked up with his foot. Then, his left hand that completed the dunk stretched out again, and when he started to fall, he happened to touch the ball passed by Lin Tian.

"Crack! Crack!"

Then there were two sounds that rang out almost simultaneously.

Dunk hat trick!

Stoudemire took off in one jump and dunked 3 balls at the same time!
After the goal was successful, Lin Tian and Xiao Si both jumped up on the spot excitedly. The two of them bumped into each other heavily in the air, and then let out excited roars at the same time!

It feels like a dream that this combination can be accomplished in one go!
When the two of them were training, they would only succeed once or twice out of ten times with this move.

Even before the dunk contest began, both had given up on the move.

The success rate is too low and the uncertainty is too great.

This ball requires incredible timing for both players to jump, the moment of catching the ball, and the accuracy of passing the ball! If any one of these steps goes wrong, the whole game will be a failure!
What’s even more difficult is that the first ball of this move is not difficult at all and is almost 100% likely to be dunked.

According to the rules of the dunk contest, as long as the ball goes in, it counts. The rules don't care whether your dunk is perfect or not.

This means that once two people fail to cooperate, then this ball will be counted, and the two people will not even have a chance to try again, and their score will definitely be very low.

When they were just one step away from winning the championship and could easily win it by just being steady, the two of them chose to go for it and take the most difficult move, which definitely required courage and determination!
So when they took it out at this time, the two of them had actually just discussed it for a long time under the basket.

Yes, the two of them were just passing the ball back and forth under the basket, and it looked like they were doing it for show, but in fact they were really discussing how to dunk the ball!
What Stoudemire meant was that it would be good enough to win the championship, a safe one.

Lin Tian said: "We are so lucky tonight, all the moves are done in one go, so let's do the most difficult one! It will definitely work, the goddess of luck tonight has already crawled into your bed, you can't drive her away again."

The two discussed for a long time, but Lin Tian was unable to convince Xiao Si, who longed for a personal honor that truly belonged to him.

Finally, Lin Tian thought of a famous quote from a future NBA star and immediately told it to Stoudemire.

"Winning a mediocre slam dunk championship won't make people remember you. In three years at most, you as the slam dunk champion will be forgotten. But if you use our three-star combo, no matter whether you can dunk or not, at least in the next 3 years, people will mention you when discussing the slam dunk contest!"

"A mediocre dunk champion is worthless. Which superstar relies on this thing?"

"But a runner-up title might allow you to leave your mark in the dunk contest!"

Lin Tian's words immediately touched Xiao Si. This guy no longer hesitated and nodded to indicate: Just dunk the most difficult one!

Then?

Then in fact, until Xiao Si started running and saw Lin Tian start to throw the ball, he was trembling and felt it was difficult to complete.

But when he got the basketball in his left and right hands one after another, he knew that today was a success!

Lin Tian and Stoudemire's celebration did not last long, because Anthony and other Knicks players who were sitting on the sidelines rushed towards the two of them almost at the same time and surrounded them.

This dunk was truly amazing! It was truly unprecedented!

Next came the various stars and big names who couldn't control their excitement and rushed over impatiently to hug and celebrate with the two.

"What else can I say?" Barkley spread his hands and said, "I have nothing to say. From the traditional aesthetics of dunks, this shot is mediocre or even quite bad in terms of strength, elegance, stretch, and gliding distance."

“But there are two points that are full!”

"Creativity and difficulty! This ball has reached the maximum in these two aspects, even directly exceeding the limit!"

"I can easily find many dunks that are better looking than this one, but I can't find another one that is more amazing, interesting, and creative than this one!"

"This dunk perfectly fits the definition of an All-Star Game! Entertainment! Totally entertaining!"

"This may also be the direction that the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest should go in the future. Instead of working on the difficulty and magnificence, we should work more on the creativity!"

"After all, fans have seen enough of all kinds of dunks like the tomahawk, the spin, the boast and the crotch dunk. Only this kind of dunk can give everyone a refreshing feeling!"

Kenny quickly followed up, "The referee has given the score! I think this is the longest-awaited but least suspenseful dunk contest score in history."

"It was slow because the referees just rushed out to celebrate with Lin and Amare. They just returned to the referee's seat now, but we all know how many points this ball will score."

"Yes, that's right!"

"50 points! No doubt about it! Let's cheer loudly, let's shout out the name of tonight's dunk king!"

"Amare Stoudemire!"

Won the championship!
Stoudemire excitedly walked to the center of the court, waved to everyone excitedly, cheered everywhere, and then took the Slam Dunk trophy handed to him by the host.

"Amar'e, say something!"

Taking the microphone handed over by the host, Stoudemire said only one sentence: "I think we all know who I have to thank for this slam dunk title. Let's shout out his name!"

"Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin! Lin!"

The advantage of being at home was once again evident at this moment. The entire stadium was cheering for Lin Tian crazily. The entire stadium was in a carnival, and Lin Tian's name was called out again and again.

As for Stoudemire? This guy was not unhappy at all, and did not feel that the spotlight that should belong to him was taken away by Lin Tian. He even rushed directly to Lin Tian's side, bent down, and stuck his head between Lin Tian's legs. Then he exerted force with his legs and lifted Lin Tian up, letting Lin Tian ride on his shoulders.

New York is so fun tonight!
And with everyone celebrating wildly, this almost perfect night came to an end.

The lights in Madison Arena slowly turned off, fans left one after another, and the stars went all the way to the Hilton Hotel to rest.

Tomorrow is the All-Star Game. After two days of revelry, everyone has to take a break tonight to prepare for tomorrow's game. Of course, most people just say this. After two days of happiness, they have already found their short-term partners. At least 90% of them have someone waiting for them when they enter their rooms.

It doesn’t matter whether you go out or not.

As for Lin Tian and Xiao Si, the two absolute protagonists of tonight, they have not yet returned to their rooms. They are still blocked downstairs by excited fans and reporters.

Tonight's game was really crazy. In a sense, it was even crazier than the century-long battle between Lin Tian and Carter.

That night was the pinnacle of dunks that humans could imagine! Lin Tian and Carter fulfilled all people's fantasies about dunks.

Tonight, Lin Tian and Stoudemire completed dunks that were beyond imagination!
Their innovation and new ways of playing made everyone exclaim in amazement.

One is the limit within reason, the other is not the limit but every dunk is unexpected!
The dunk contest this evening will definitely go down in history and will definitely be mentioned countless times in the days to come.

After Lin Tian was crowned the Slam Dunk King twice and was hailed by countless people as the 'NBA Slam Dunk God' and 'NBA's No. 1 Dunker in History', he now has a new nickname.

'The King of Support'!
The assistance he provided to Stoudemire tonight was absolutely superb.

He even stole the camera and spotlight from Stoudemire.

Apart from Lin Tian, ​​there will never be another person in history who can attract a lot of attention and become the core of the whole game just by passing the ball in a dunk contest.

unique.

This is truly unparalleled in the world.

After all, there is no other madman in the NBA who has the skills and courage of Lin Tian.

Tonight, Lin Tian and Stoudemire have once again raised the level of the dunk contest to a whole new level!

Throughout the entire night, countless fans couldn't sleep and went online again and again to search for highlights and videos of tonight's game. They wanted to enjoy Lin Tian and Stoudemire's dunks once again.

This staying up late lasts for one whole night.

It was not until the next morning when many people suddenly remembered something.

The dunk contest is just the appetizer!

The real All-Star Game starts tonight!
This is the annual grand event at the All-Star Game!

All-Star Game + Madison Square Garden + The Knicks have three players selected for the game.

The combination of these factors will naturally make all fans extremely excited and happy.

They can't wait to watch the game tonight!

And tonight's game did not disappoint the fans.

The players, who had gathered their energy and not drunk too much or had too much fun the night before, showed off their skills and abilities this evening, unleashing all their might for the fans.

And tonight's game was naturally quite exciting. Players from both the East and West gave their all and continued to contribute wonderful games on the court.

What do you think of this evening's game?

The first quarter was an exhibition game, with everyone dunking, showing off, and having fun, enjoying the relaxation of the All-Star Game.

The second quarter was considered a preseason game, and the pace of both sides was still very fast. The play was still relatively relaxed, but no longer casual. Someone had unknowingly raised the intensity, and the players began to exert their strength.

In the third quarter, especially the second half, the intensity was getting higher and higher. Defense, tactics, and reasonable positioning that were almost absent in the first half. Even the guards started to call for tactics and coordinate pick-and-rolls, passes and cuts.

There is no way. Who made the score between the two sides so close and unable to be widened?
When the game came to the fourth quarter, the intensity, competitiveness and momentum of both sides were completely aroused. The All-Star Game in this era is not a game of throwing 100 three-pointers and 3 free throws in a game.

In this era of the All-Star Game, no one wants to lose, and no one wants to lose in such a tense game environment.

The more critical the moment, the more we should go all out!
When the game reached the last 3 minutes, the competition between the two sides had reached a white-hot stage. Looking at the players on both sides, they were obviously excited and ready to fight for their lives.

The coaches on both sides were also very cooperative at this time. They knew what the fans wanted and how the league wanted them to play.

At this point, neither side used their starting lineups, but instead sent out the ten strongest players in theory!
In the Eastern Conference, there is no doubt that Lin Tian is leading the team, and following him are Yao Ming, McGrady, Duncan and Wade!

As for the Western Conference, there is OK and the Twin Wolves, plus Marion who can run, defend and shoot!

The lineups on both sides look like they are ready to fight to the death!

At this moment the score between the two sides is still quite high, 145:149!

The East is currently leading the West by 4 points!
As for the statistics of both sides, Lin Tian is basically in a far leading position in the Eastern Conference. He has scored 31 points and 11 assists tonight. The second highest scorer in the entire Eastern Conference is Lin Tian’s teammate Stoudemire, who scored 23 points tonight.

Apart from these two, there was no third person in the entire East who scored more than 20 points!
In addition, Stoudemire is not on the court at the moment. According to the convention of the All-Star Game, as long as the Eastern Conference wins tonight, the MVP will basically be awarded to Lin Tian.

As for the Western Conference, it is obvious that Kobe and Iverson are competing against each other at the moment. These two guys have scored 26 points each, tied for the highest in the Western Conference. In the next 3 minutes, if the Western Conference can overtake the score, then whoever performs better between the two of them will become MVP!

Everything depends on the last 3 minutes!
Iverson dribbled the ball and slowly came to the frontcourt.

At this moment, Madison Square Garden was no longer as friendly and relaxed as before. The fans shouted "Defense" loudly to cheer for their home team.

Fans, like players, don’t want to lose!

After arriving at the frontcourt, Iverson immediately called for a screen, and after a quick crossover with Garnett at the top of the arc, he quickly stretched his left hand back, and the basketball fell into Garnett's hands at the top of the arc.

After all, it is the All-Star Game. No matter how hard the players try to win, there is a lack of tacit understanding between the players, especially on the defensive end.

For example, this time, Duncan and Lin Tian failed to communicate well and both ran towards Iverson, resulting in Garnett getting a large open space.

The Wolf King naturally would not miss this opportunity. He quickly made his signature high-post jump shot and hit it accurately!

2 points!
When it was the Eastern Conference's turn to attack, Lin Tian completed the attack in almost the same way as Iverson had just done.

He called Duncan to come up and cover, and after he and Duncan passed each other, Lin Tian made a one-handed behind-the-back pass, shaking off the Western defense and focusing the Western defense on Duncan next to him.

Then Lin Tian accelerated and rushed towards the basket.

Before O'Neal arrived to help defend, Lin Tian made a light one-handed dunk, and the basketball jumped over O'Neal's defense and went directly into the basket!
Still 4 points!
"Kevin, do you think everyone likes to shoot high-post jump shots like you? Or, do they only know how to shoot high-post jump shots?" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian immediately trash-talked Garnett: "Is your defense too far out?"

"You are the only woman on the court now! So you don't have to defend so far outside! We will continue to attack the inside!"

"But I really can't make a high-post jump shot, Lin. Even if you gave me the ball just now, I wouldn't have shot it." When Duncan heard what Lin Tian said, he actually took the initiative to say something to Lin Tian, ​​which was rare.

"I knew you couldn't do it, so I didn't pass the ball to you." Lin Tian glanced at Duncan, then looked at Garnett and said, "But if it was you in the high position just now, I wouldn't pass the ball to your Kevin either."

"Because you will definitely shoot it directly. Any serious team will not let the inside players take high jump shots at this time!" (End of this chapter)
