NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 568: I miss those old Indiana silver coins!

"Can they give me money or some benefits?" At the press conference after the game, Lin Tian, ​​who only played for 28 minutes tonight and scored a triple-double and won a big victory, was naturally quite relaxed. When he heard about the bet between two people about his season data, his response was quite casual.

"As long as the benefits are in place, I can do any position!"

"So you're saying you can average a triple-double anytime you want, Lin?"

"Not all the time." Lin Tian shrugged and said, "But they can try."

"So what price do you think is appropriate?" another reporter asked.

"Anyway, it definitely can't be these two guys' butts. I'm not interested at all. What kind of person would make such a bet? It's too boring." Lin Tian waved his hand and said, "Oh, I forgot, Michael and I made a bet before."

"Hahaha, that was such a happy night! Do you remember? The bet Michael and I made before the MVP results were announced? The entire Bulls team was there."

"And my old buddy Will Marcus! He's here too, right? Speaking of him, I haven't seen him in a while. Where is he working these days?"

Because of the Knicks' big victory and the bet between Barkley and Lin Tian, ​​the atmosphere of the interview that night was quite relaxed and free and easy. The reporter asked casually and Lin Tian's answers were also quite relaxed.

It was not until the press conference was about to end that a reporter finally remembered that this was a press conference after the regular season and they had to ask something related to the game!
So, at the end, a reporter finally asked a very serious question.

"After the big win over the Pistons, what are your goals for this year, Lin? What kind of season do you expect to have this year?"

"An unprecedented season! A season that will shock the entire New York, the entire league, and even the entire world!"

"A season where we will definitely win the championship!"

With Lin Tian once again declaring his victory, the Knicks' regular season journey this season has officially begun!
After defeating the Pistons, they did not return to New York, but instead played a round of away games first. They had to play five consecutive away games first!

As for their opponents, they are the Bulls, Cavaliers, Pacers and Bucks, who are in the same Central Division as the Pistons.

In terms of strength among these four teams, the Cavaliers and the Bulls can barely be considered strong teams. They both made the playoffs last season but were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The Pacers and the Bucks are lottery teams with mediocre strength.

Therefore, although the Knicks will start the season with a five-game road trip, their actual schedule is not that difficult. What's more, the most difficult first game, an away challenge against the Pistons, has been easily won by the Knicks. So what difference will there be in the remaining games?
In the second game against the Bulls, Lin Tian, ​​who returned to the United Center, still received overwhelming cheers. He also had a few minutes of competition with the Bulls' new core Gordon.

Ben Gordon, who won the Sixth Man of the Year award as a rookie last year, has always been known for his ability to score, his good scoring skills and his amazing scoring explosiveness.

He played pretty well for the Bulls last season.

He was promoted to the starting lineup this season, and at one point in the opening stage of tonight's game, he made 4 of 4 shots, including 3-pointers and free throws, and scored 11 points in a row!
His madness also caused the Bulls to fight the Knicks back and forth at the beginning of tonight, resulting in a complete stalemate.

But then the Knicks responded even more quickly. Lin Tian made 3 consecutive shots in less than 5 minutes! All of them were on Gordon's head. At the same time, Lin Tian's full-court pressing defense made it difficult for Gordon to organize and advance.

This guy who was originally a No. 2 player had mediocre dribbling ability. Facing Lin Tian's close defense, he not only failed to organize an effective offense, but was also intercepted by Lin Tian face to face, allowing Lin Tian to get to the basket and complete a slam dunk.

The passionate confrontation between the two and the excitement of the fans at the United Center ended there.

第一节比赛打完,戈登7投4中拿到11分2次失误,第二节打完戈登10投4中拿到11分3次失误,第三节比赛打完,戈登16投5中拿到15分5次失误。

The fourth quarter...

In the fourth quarter, Lin Tian and Gordon did not play again.

The score between the two sides has become 101:73.

The Knicks decisively withdrew their main players when they were leading by almost 30 points, and the suspense of the game was also over.

The Knicks won two consecutive games!

As for Lin Tian, ​​his playing time did not exceed 30 minutes for the second consecutive game and he once again scored a triple-double.

28 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists!

But Lin Tian’s madness will not end like this!

His madness has just begun!
After a day of rest, the Knicks came to Cleveland and faced the Cavaliers, who wanted to take revenge and had an upgraded lineup in the summer.

This season, the Cavaliers, who have two excellent two-way guards in Wade and Hughes, are full of fighting spirit. They are determined to break through the first round and show everyone their strengths.

At the beginning of the game, the first person to come up to challenge was Hughes, a guy who was invincible in the regular season last season but was completely ineffective in the playoffs. In fact, he had proved in the playoffs last season that he could not fight any tough battles.

But that was only on the offensive end. On the defensive end, even in the playoffs last season, he did a pretty good job of limiting Billups. Now, he wants to try to see if he can limit Lin Tian!
Of course that's not possible!
At the beginning of the game, Lin Tian easily broke through Hughes' defense three times in a row. His famous steals were like a joke in front of Lin Tian's speed and dribbling. Not only was he completely unable to interfere with Lin Tian's dribbling, but he was also fooled by Lin Tian's fake move once. When he acted rashly, Lin Tian seized the opportunity and pulled him up directly.

Caused a foul by Hughes!
At the same time, on the offensive end, even though the Knicks' defense was terrible, facing Lin Tian, ​​the first or only line of defense, Hughes found himself completely unable to break through!
After several consecutive attempts, he failed to break through Lin Tian’s defense. He either made a forced shot and missed it, or was forced to stop the ball and then pass it away in a very awkward manner.

In other words, he had more experience than Gordon in the previous two days, and his dribbling was more stable, which is why he was not directly intercepted.

And everyone knows that when you face the Knicks and Lin Tian explodes again, there is a high probability that you will lose!

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the score between the two sides became 15:5, and the Knicks were already leading by 10 points.

"I come!"

At this time, Wade once again assumed the responsibility of a leader, no matter how he expressed it during the offseason, like Hughes was a senior, he should be the leader, or Hughes was better than me, he was the core of the team, and other empty words.

But at this time, when the team needs him, he will definitely stand up!
Wade has a high emotional intelligence. He will say every nice thing that needs to be said, but when it is time for him to take responsibility, he will never evade it!

"Not bad, quite interesting." Lin Tian couldn't help but praise Wade when he saw that Wade's defense was obviously stronger than Hughes', his speed was faster, and his lateral movement was better. "He must have practiced a lot this summer."

"I hardly had any rest." Wade concentrated on lowering his center of gravity, using his lateral speed and super long wingspan to block Lin Tian's dribbling: "It felt terrible to lose to you last season! I hate myself like that."

"I will defeat you!"

"I told you, the future is yours." Facing Wade's pressing, Lin Tian turned around and distanced himself easily: "But now, it belongs to me!"

After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the three-point line in one step. Then he used his shoulder to push Wade, who was trying to catch up with him, to the side. He accelerated again and rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye.

Big Z had to move forward half a step to interfere with Lin Tian. After all, everyone knew that his jump shot had already reached perfection.

Facing Big Z's tall stature and extra-long arms, Lin Tian turned a blind eye. The basketball still flew high and jumped over Big Z's fingertips. Then, Big Z heard a loud noise behind him.

Stoudemire rushed over, and while in the air, he pushed the ball into the basket with one hand!

The Cavaliers' offense continued. After Wade took the initiative to switch defense to Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian did not disappoint the fans and took the initiative to switch defense to face Wade.

"Come on, let's see what you've been practicing this summer. If you progress too slowly, your time will come before it comes, and it will end directly."

Facing Lin Tian's provocation, Wade did not say anything, but dribbled quickly to the frontcourt. Then he called for a screen again, and then with the help of Big Z's pick-and-roll, he rushed into the inside at a rapid speed.

The amplitude of his steps when breaking through is still very large, but compared to last season's playoffs, Lin Tian can clearly feel this guy's improvement.

With no qualitative change in speed, Wade's center of gravity was lower and his confrontation became more fierce.

More importantly, when he came to the basket, Wade suddenly changed his rhythm. He first took a big step forward with his left foot, then suddenly caught the ball with his hands, pulled the basketball from the air to the right, then took a big step to the right with his right leg before jumping up.

Even Lin Tian was stunned for a moment when facing Wade's "Phantom Step" which would become his signature move in the future, and was unable to follow it immediately.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Wade made a layup with his right hand.

"How is it?" Wade looked at Lin Tian with an excited expression, which made Lin Tian feel helpless. He was more expecting Wade to shout: "Old man, do you recognize the Flash of Cleveland?"

That way Lin Tian could pin him to the ground and beat him.

But now, this expression, as if waiting for Lin Tian to pat him on the head and praise him, made Lin Tian feel helpless.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you, right?
"Interesting." Lin Tian said as he dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt.

At the same time, he was already thinking about how to respond.

The younger brothers have all shown their best skills to take on the challenge. It would be too boring if I just casually shot a ball or something, right?

Of course not!
"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Tianyun reached the frontcourt and performed two cross-leg dribbles and attack step fakes, then he directly pulled up and shot to score.

"Shooting is the most powerful killing force on this court! If your shooting is not accurate or stable enough, you will always have weaknesses! If you have weaknesses, you will be targeted!"

Lin Tian acted like a master, holding his chin high as he taught Wade.

I’ve reached this age!

The feeling of guiding the younger generation is refreshing.

“As long as I break through hard enough, it’ll be fine!” Unfortunately, Wade, who has always been humble, did not listen to Lin Tian’s instructions this time. Instead, he came to the frontcourt again and used the pick-and-roll to break through again. After going to the inside against Lin Tian again, Wade took another big step with his left foot, and then suddenly collected the ball and turned quickly.

Finally, he pushed Lin Tian away with his left elbow, threw the ball out with his right hand again, and made a turn-around layup smoothly.

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Wade scored another 2 points.

"Look, even though you knew I was going to break through, you still couldn't defend me."

Come on!

After Wade scored two goals in a row, his self-confidence was completely overflowing and he began to actively provoke Lin Tian.

"So what?" Lin Tian's response was almost exactly the same as in the previous round.

Continuous dribbling between the legs, easy attacking steps, then pulling up again and taking another dry jump shot.

"Shh!"

"I can play like this all night long without even breaking a sweat. How about you?" Lin Tian chewed gum leisurely, looking at Wade, waiting for his further response.

"I can do it too!" Wade called for a screen again while speaking. He wanted to score again with the help of the screen, but this time Lin Tian gave him a step.

He retreated directly to the free throw line, gave Wade two steps of space, and let him shoot. This was also the method that Lin Tian used to easily lock down Wade in last year's playoffs.

This time, Wade suddenly grinned, then suddenly pulled up and shot from outside the three-point line and made it!

"I fooled you, Lin!" Wade grinned and said excitedly, "I also practiced 3-point shooting this summer!"

"Although I'm not as accurate as you and I'm not very good at pull-up jump shots, but if you let me shoot a spot-up 3-pointer, hehe, I will definitely make you pay the price for your comeback."

"Are you a Saint Seiya?" Lin Tian once again took the ball from the baseline. He was not in a hurry to speed up, but dribbled the ball easily while chatting with Wade. The feeling of playing with his own fans was quite good.

"What is a Saint Seiya?"

"You are a childless fellow." Lin Tian shook his head and said, "You actually took the initiative to tell your opponent all your moves and weaknesses."

"I'm telling you, I'm not afraid either!"

Facing Wade's confidence, Lin Tian came to the same position for the third time in a row, and performed two consecutive crotch strikes, followed by an attacking step. When he was about to pull up for the third time in a row, Wade finally rushed up this time!

He opened his arms to block Lin Tian's shot, but this time Lin Tian suddenly bent over and rushed into the inside in the blink of an eye. Then he took a look at the situation on the court near the basket and suddenly jumped up and made another 2-point shot!
"Why don't you move?" Lin Tian was obviously trying to find his teammates, but when he looked around, he found that his teammates were all standing there motionless: "Are you here to watch the show?"

"I saw you and Devin were fighting one-on-one, and I felt it would be rude if I moved." Anthony, who was born on the street, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "At least we have to wait until you call out the tactics before we move."

Lin Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Don't tell anyone you're with me when you go out."

"What you said makes me feel that our cooperation over the past year has been in vain. When has I ever practiced martial ethics?"

"Even if I'm playing one-on-one with Devin, you can always run. When I'm defending him, you can always double-team him. It's best to do it stealthily so that no one can see it. A double-team can directly steal the ball or cause him to make a mistake."

"Devin's passing skills aren't good anyway, so if we cover him twice, at the very least he'll make two turnovers!"

"But, you're in a one-on-one duel. If we double-team you, won't you lose face?" Stoudemire said embarrassedly, "It's like you surrendering voluntarily."

"childish!"

Lin Tian didn't know where to start complaining about these two childish guys.

This moment was the first time that Lin Tian missed those old silver coins in Indiana since he came to the Knicks more than a year ago.

Those old silver coins know themselves too well.

When Lin Tian said that he wanted to attack an isolated island, they knew it was time to provide cover.

Lin Tian told them to calm down, and they knew they should rush for the rebounds. Lin Tian would definitely go it alone.

Lin Tian said, "Everyone move aside, I will lock down the bastard on the opposite side by myself, and someone will come forward to help double-team him the next second."

The main theme is a tacit understanding! The main theme is that everyone is shameless and has no bottom line!

That's happy basketball!

Unlike the two straight-shooting brothers in front of me...

Hey... just teach me slowly!
Wade on the opposite side has dribbled to the frontcourt again.

He patted the ball and looked at Lin Tian, ​​his face eager to try. Then Wade followed suit, not feeling embarrassed at all about using the same trick over and over again. He called for a pick-and-roll again.

But this time, Lin Tian will not let him succeed easily.

Are you kidding? Do I have no face?
It's embarrassing to make you keep using the same moves!
Before Big Z arrived, Lin Tian had already stepped forward to block the position, and then blocked the space for Wade to break through.

Wade was not panicked at all. He dribbled the ball with a big change of direction and his signature ultra-low-altitude dribbling acceleration, trying to shake Lin Tian off!

But unfortunately, he met Lin Tian who was defending with all his might. His footsteps were completely blocked by Lin Tian, ​​and his speed was not fast enough, so he couldn't squeeze to the inside at all.

Then, under Lin Tian's strong confrontation, Wade's unstable dribbling problem was exposed. Lin Tian found the opportunity and directly intercepted Wade's ball. Then Lin Tian accelerated and hugged the out-of-control basketball.

"Quick attack!"

For the first time tonight, Lin Tian shouted out the slogan that the Knicks will surely scare the entire league in the next game. (End of this chapter)
