NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

147: 151!

There are 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game.

This time it was Kobe who controlled the ball and advanced the ball. Apparently he had completed some unknown PY deal with Iverson.

The two of them have a very good understanding of each other and each of them controls a round. As for whether they will pass the ball to each other or make some cooperative plays?
Lin Tian doesn't care!
What Lin Tian cares about is fairness and justice! It is openness and transparency!

Is the All-Star Game a place for you to secretly discuss who will win the MVP award?
The game must be played properly, one ball at a time. What are you doing here, one person at a time? Master Lin can't stand this!
"You two have discussed this, right? You agreed that each of you will hold the ball and attack once, right? Do you two want to share the MVP? Have you considered your teammates? Have you considered how they feel?"

"Everyone is an All-Star. What obligation do they have to accompany you to win the MVP? Don't you feel guilty? Will you treat everyone to a meal after the game?"

"You won't! Because after the game you will all go your separate ways, and your promises about 'I'll treat you to a meal next time' will become empty words, empty checks that will never be cashed, so, do you two have any shame?"

Lin Tian's non-stop trash talk was like a machine gun, which made Kobe feel overwhelmed. He even wanted to punch Lin Tian.

It's just a game, why so much nonsense?

But just as Kobe was upset, he also saw O'Neal who was well positioned in the paint, and he made a ground pass to the paint.

Are you kidding? Iverson passed the ball, so how could Kobe not pass it? The main point is that I won’t bully you. I will compete with you fairly, and each one will rely on his own ability!
If you pass the ball, I will pass the ball too. If you attack, I will attack too. No one takes advantage of anyone.

This is Kobe's personality. He will never give in in his life.

But the problem is, Lin Tian knows his character too well. The two of them have been competing and training together since Kobe entered the league.

So when Kobe passed the ball to O'Neal, Lin Tian let go of Iverson, rushed into the inside, then approached O'Neal from the blind spot, suddenly reached out from behind him, and intercepted the ball that O'Neal had just hit!
"run!"

Lin Tian roared, and while dribbling the ball quickly, he also kept observing the running positions of his teammates and the retreat of his opponents.

Then he suddenly looked at McGrady on his left, and at the same time passed the ball in the direction of McGrady from behind his back with his right hand.

Everyone moved towards McGrady. No matter how it looked, Lin Tian had to pass the ball to McGrady.

But when everyone looked over there, the basketball did not appear in McGrady's hands.

On the contrary, Wade on the other side suddenly found the basketball in his hands.

This was so fast and sudden that even Wade himself could hardly react and he almost couldn't hold the ball.

In other words, Wade's reaction was really fast enough and the speed of the ball was not that fast, so, although he was stunned for a moment, he finally hugged the basketball, then jumped up and put the ball into the basket with both hands!
"How did he do that?" Barkley was stunned for a moment, unable to react to why the ball was clearly aimed at McGrady but ended up in Wade's hands.

The first person in the audience to react to what happened was Hill!
Hill stood up from the bench at once, and the usually gentle and polite man couldn't help but shout: "I caught this ball!"

Yes, he did!
It’s also the All-Star Game, the final few minutes, and the time for fast breaks.

At that time, Lin Tian was still a sophomore rookie who needed Jordan's protection, while Hill was a top star who won the All-Star vote.

In the blink of an eye, everything has changed. Lin Tian has become a superstar and the face of the league who can surpass Jordan, while Hill has wasted his best years and years in the hospital bed in the past few years.

"Elbow pass! Lin used that trick again!" Compared to Barkley's bewilderment, Kenny reacted faster and shouted, "Lin used the trick he used in the first All-Star Game! Elbow pass!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

At the scene in Madison, crazy shouts and roars were heard at the first moment!

They loved it! What New Yorker wouldn't love this kind of fancy stuff?
From this perspective, Lin Tian should be their king!
He should be their hero!

"Incredible!" Wade finally realized what had just happened after the dunk. He excitedly jumped up and bumped chests with Lin Tian, ​​shouting happily, "10 years ago, I was sitting in front of the TV and saw you do this!"

"Lin, I actually got the call today! And it's from the All-Star Game! This is like a dream!"

"Back to defense! Devin, back to defense! You take care of Kobe, I'll take care of Allen!" Lin Tian didn't have much time to celebrate with Wade. They were only leading by 6 points, and the situation was still unstable!

In terms of offensive firepower and player abilities in the All-Star Game, a 6-point lead with only 2 minutes left is not safe at all!
This time, Lin Tian's reminder and shouting were effective. Yao Ming and Duncan, who had just run to the midfield, turned around quickly and returned to defense. At the same time, Lin Tian and Wade also completed the turnaround in the first time and ran towards the backcourt for their lives.

Fortunately, they returned to defense quickly enough, because after receiving the ball from Garnett at the baseline, Iverson accelerated again and rushed all the way to the frontcourt.

In the blink of an eye, Iverson had already reached the basket. Facing Yao Ming's defense, he suddenly threw the ball into the air with one hand, and the basketball flew less than 30 centimeters.

Not only was his throw very sudden, but the purpose was also quite unclear. At least Yao Ming in front of him and the Western stars behind Yao Ming who were running to catch the ball did not understand what Iverson was going to do.

The result of not understanding was that a super funny scene happened next.

Garnett and Kobe from the Western team had already rushed to their positions, and Duncan and Yao Ming from the Eastern team were ready to defend. The four of them jumped up at the same time, reaching out to grab the basketball that didn't even fly very far.

They made the wrong judgment at the same time!
Iverson made a somewhat inexplicable fake move and directly shook off four people.

Then Iverson jumped up himself, caught the basketball he threw in the air, did a small pull-up to avoid Yao Ming's defense, and was about to make a layup.

Of course, if this were a serious game, Iverson's move would have been a clear violation.

But this is the All-Star Game, and the referee decisively chose to ignore it!
Similarly, Lin Tian’s elbow pass was also suspected of being a violation.

As long as it’s not excessive, show it off!
But this time, Iverson's signature move failed.

There is Lao Liu waiting behind him!
"Snapped!"

With a dull thud, just when Iverson was about to shoot, Lin Tian rushed out from behind him and slapped the basketball away, right into Yao Ming's hands.

After Yao Ming got the ball, he immediately raised it high. With his height, no one could snatch the basketball from him when he did that.

After waiting for 2-3 seconds and making sure that everyone in the West had evacuated and no one was still squatting in the frontcourt waiting, Yao Ming passed the ball to Lin Tian.

"Great defense! This is Lin! No matter what the occasion, as long as the game reaches a critical moment, he will always appear! He will always stand up and solve the game!"

"Whether you need him to score or pass the ball, whether you need him to complete a one-on-one blockade or assist in defense, as long as you need him, he will appear! This guy is really a perfect player, the kind of player that all coaches like!"

With Barkley's praise, the game time had entered less than 2 minutes. In the last 1 minute and 55 seconds, the Eastern team dribbled and attacked again.

Lin Tian came to the front court leisurely, organized the attack, and directed his teammates' movements.

"This attack is very important. Now the two sides are only 6 points apart. If the touch is good, 6 points can be scored in two goals. But if this goal can be scored, then if we want to catch up with the score, it will take 3 rounds at least!"

While Lin Tian was directing his teammates to move, Barkley quickly analyzed: "With the remaining time, there is definitely a world of difference between 3 rounds and 2 rounds! If Lin can score this goal, I think it can directly kill the suspense of the game!"

"So I think Lin will handle this shot carefully. He will use up the time and wait patiently for a very good opportunity to shoot! In the All-Star Game, such opportunities are quite easy to find."

As we all know, every time Barkley analyzes Lin Tian's game, he is about to be slapped in the face.

Almost every time this guy makes an analysis, it goes against Lin Tian’s choice.

This time was no exception. "Shua!" Before Barkley even finished speaking, Lin Tian had already changed direction outside the 3-point line and slightly shook off Kobe, gaining a space for himself to shoot. Then he pulled up and shot a 3-pointer.

The gap between the two sides has reached 9 points!

147: 156!

Time is running out for the West.

"Charles, you really don't understand Lin at all, and you've never learned your lesson." Kenny next to him tried to hold back his laughter and teased, "How many times have you suffered at the hands of him? How many times have you been slapped in the face by him?"

"You're still using common sense to predict Lin? You deserve it, you know? You deserve it! This guy dared to throw it like this in the seventh game of the finals, let alone an All-Star Game? A rational choice? Does this thing have anything to do with Lin?"

However, contrary to Kenny's expectations, Barkley, who was badly slapped in the face, did not feel unhappy or depressed at all because of his reverse prediction.

On the contrary, this guy just raised his hands and shouted as if his prediction was correct: "I knew Lin could do it! I knew it! Lin can always do this kind of thing, always make those who don't trust him speechless, he always kills the game in the most exciting and craziest way!"

"The game is over! The suspense of the game is gone!"

Barkley's confident shout defined the game without hesitation.

Then?

"Shh!"

Barkley's face is destined to get even more swollen tonight.

In less than 5 seconds, Iverson quickly advanced to the frontcourt, then suddenly jumped up from one step outside the 3-point line, made a desperate jump shot, and slammed the ball into the basket!

Still 6 points!
"Charles, I say the same thing again. No matter who you support, don't say it out loud and keep quiet! Otherwise, you will be assassinated sooner or later because of this! There will always be some crazy fans who will think you are the culprit."

"Shut up, Kenny! I said the game is over, it's over! Lin will kill the game, he will make the suspense of the game disappear completely next! I believe...FUXX!"

This time, even someone as thick-skinned as Barkley couldn't help but say a swear word.

Because Lin Tian failed!
After a perfect performance of helping the team get ahead and expand their lead with steals, blocks, points and assists, Lin Tian missed his quick stop jump shot after reaching the frontcourt. Not only did the basketball not go in, it also bounced very far.

Marion, who had the lowest presence on the court, stood up at this time.

He reacted quickly and slapped the basketball towards the Eastern team's half.

Then Kobe almost hugged Lin Tian to prevent him from rushing back to the half court to defend. Iverson got the basketball, rushed to the front court quickly, and then completed a one-arm slam dunk before everyone caught up!
In the blink of an eye, the West, or Iverson alone, went on a 5:0 run.

With 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the game, the West narrowed the gap to 4 points!
152: 156!

The suspense of the game has increased dramatically! In the following time, anything can happen!
"Charles, can you predict the game? What do you think of the upcoming game?"

"Lin will kill the game! Lin will kill the game in his own way! He will score again and seal the victory!" Barkley was also very angry at this moment. He didn't care about anything and just went all in on Lin Tian! It was all in!
Anyway, if you win, you are still a young model in the club, and if you lose, you are still a young model in the club.

There is no way I would go to work in the sea.

What can we say about Barkley's mentality at this moment? Just like a goalkeeper who is determined to win in a penalty shootout, I will just stand in the middle today and I don't care if you kick the ball to the left or the right, I will just defend the middle today!

Let's take a gamble. There will definitely be someone who doesn't like me, and there will definitely be someone who will kick me in the head for fun.

After the Celtics successfully re-employed, the head coach of the Eastern Conference team, which is second in the Eastern Conference so far this season, Rivers called a timeout at this time.

"Everyone, work hard! Work hard! Come on, let's go! Charge forward! Kill them! Kill them! You can do it! Go! Go! Go! Go!"

Well, this version's tactical arrangement feels a bit bland.

"Come and buy! Kangmang! Kangmang! Come and buy! Mu! Mu! Mu! Airiba! Come and buy! Kangmang! Mu! Mu!"

comfortable!
After the timeout, Rivers said only one sentence besides the above: "Lin, just watch and play, I believe in you!"

Lin Tian was a little confused as to which of his two paragraphs was important and which was just an additional item. In any case, both of them had no focus and no content at all.

Lin Tian felt that he really couldn't see through Rivers.

Why is it that the coach who is recognized as the king of reversals, full of complaints, whose tactics are not worth mentioning, who relies entirely on chicken soup, has no responsibility, and who likes to pass the buck, always gets the maximum level account to operate, then makes a mess of it, and then can find a job again?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

Rivers' fans will say he led the Celtics to the top in 08.

But seriously, with the Celtics' lineup, morale, unity and desire for the championship at the time, even if Lin Tian's grandmother was asked to coach the team, they would still be able to win 60 games in the regular season, and at least they would not be forced into a seventh game in the first round of the playoffs by the 35-win Hawks.

"Tracy, what do you think of Doug's coaching level?" Lin Tian couldn't help it this time. Before stepping onto the court, he casually asked McGrady who was playing with him.

"He has shit coaching skills. I think he should be selling insurance. If he sells insurance or something else, he will definitely get rich."

Good boy! It’s confirmed.

Of course, McGrady has hatred towards Rivers, and the cooperation between the two has not been successful. In the past few years, the Magic team has either been reversed or on the way to being reversed, which is quite miserable.

"Grant, what do you think of Doug's coaching level?" Lin Tian turned around and asked Hill next to him, who had also played under Rivers for many years.

"I... I don't really know." Hill's eyes dimmed instantly. He lowered his head, bit his lip, and shook his head gently, saying, "In the past few years, I haven't really worked with him. I can't, I can't tell you, I... I feel like a liar."

"I failed the expectations of the people of Orlando, and I failed to live up to my talent. I think Tracy and Tim must hate me. I must be very unpopular, Lin, I..."

Okay, stop talking. It’s just a simple question, why did it make you so upset?
This time Lin Tian swore that he definitely didn't mean it, he was just asking casually.

But since he brought up people's sad stories, Lin Tian must be responsible! He is not the kind of person who pulls up his pants... No, it's not this metaphor.

Anyway, I'm not that kind of person.

"Grant, don't lose heart. The fans still love you and they still see you as their idol. You are still young and you still have a chance to start over."

At this point, Lin Tian noticed that Hill's face didn't relax at all, so he could only add: "After this contract ends, consider coming to New York. We can't give you much, but we really need a guy with experience, patience and qualifications."

"The kids here are more rebellious than the other, and more beastly than the other."

Lin Tian didn’t say that no one wants you to come to us, nor did he say that if you can’t find a good place to go, come to us.

He knew that although Hill looked weak, he actually had a very tough character. Otherwise, he would not have forced himself to return to the playoffs with an injury when he had already decided to leave Detroit, which led to his chronic illness.

This guy looks easy-going, but he is very stubborn at heart!
Such a person will not accept charity, but if you tell him that you need him and make him feel respected, he will definitely be motivated immediately. (End of this chapter)
