NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Back to the first round of the game, James dribbled the ball quickly to the frontcourt, and he touched his head out of habit. In the Spurs, as soon as he touched his head, Bosh and Nesterovic would definitely rush forward to cover him.

But this time...

The two O'Neals acted as if they didn't see him do anything. Kobe stood on the wing and stretched out his hand to yell at him, "Ball!"

As for Ray Allen, he didn't move at all and even yawned.

"Your teammates don't like you very much, do they, LeBron?" Lin Tian said with a sly smile, "When I played in the All-Star Game for the first time, everyone didn't like me either. Do you know what I did at that time?"

"How did you do it?" James was a little helpless about the team's current situation which was completely disorganized, and asked subconsciously.

But the moment the question was raised, James actually regretted it.

Why shouldn’t I ask anyone else? Why should I ask you, Lin Tian?
It's absolutely self-humiliating!
absolute!

Lin Tian: Hehe, you guessed it right!

"I just picked up a jerk who dared to challenge me and pinned him to the ground with an armbar. Since then, no one dares to mess with me wherever I go. You can try it too!"

"But a friendly reminder, you can't attack someone who is too weak, such as Steve. Even if you beat Steve to death, no one will respect you. I think it's a good idea to attack Shaq or our Ben."

Even though James already knew that Lin Tian would talk nonsense, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at this moment.

Let me go fight O'Neal?
"What are you daydreaming about? Ball!" James hadn't finished rolling his eyes when O'Neal, who was under the basket, became impatient and shouted with his hands outstretched, "Give me the ball, I'll lead you to victory!"

"Give me!"

"I also want!"

O'Neal Jr. and Kobe Bryant were on each side, both reaching out to James for the ball.

Wow, Lin Tian, ​​wow!
This one person has the ball, three people want it, and the one with the ball also wants to win the MVP. In other words, the one standing in the corner is the unselfish Ray Allen. It would be better if it was Iverson who played!
Five people asked for the ball at the same time. That scene was so exciting that they screamed!

Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines, was so embarrassed that his face turned green. These bastards, don’t they give me any face at all?
Another person who didn't give Popovich face was McGrady.

This guy couldn't help laughing out loud as he looked at the situation on the field.

Then, although he covered his face with a towel, his constantly shaking and swaying body obviously sold him out.

This guy not only laughed, he laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

With the Western team's style of play, there was no way they could score in this offense. James saw that his teammates neither gave way nor gave up the power, so he could only step back with the ball and force a 3-point shot.

Then the basketball bounced out of the rim and James missed the shot.

Big Ben hugged the backboard and yelled, "Meteor!"

The basketball then flew out of his hand and flew towards the front court.

"Fuck your grandma's legs!"

Lin Tian screamed and could only rush forward. After all, he couldn't just stand by and watch the ball go wrong, right?

After running all the way, Lin Tian finally got the basketball under the basket of the Western Team, but he did not shoot directly. Instead, he looked back and suddenly hit the ball backwards from under his crotch.

The basketball bounced on the floor, then quickly bounced back, passed through the crotch of James who was following Lin Tian and preparing to block the shot, and then landed in the hands of Anthony behind James.

Holding the ball with one hand, he split Mount Huashan with all his strength!
"boom!"

After a loud bang, Anthony easily scored another 2 points!
Lin Tian's double crotch pass was so amazing!
Once again, everyone felt that Lin Tian also had a pair of eyes behind him!
"It's amazing! A standard Lin-style pass!" Barkley in the commentary booth raised his hands in admiration, waving them on both sides of his shoulders and said, "As long as you run, the basketball will definitely be in your hands!"

"This is why everyone on the Knicks is willing to run wild with Lin!"

"Put your fat paws down first!" Kenny stood beside him with a look of disgust, and Barkley's hand was about to slap him in the face!
The two commentators were analyzing the situation when Popovich started making substitutions. He replaced the rebellious O'Neal with Boozer, who was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time this year.

Change them one by one and you will always find the right one!

The Western team is still working hard to adjust its lineup, hoping to close the score while establishing James as the absolute core.

But the Eastern team on the opposite side didn't care about you at all. They were completely united as one and scored 3 goals in a row!
During this period, James was the only player in the Western Conference who successfully scored 2 points for the team through a strong breakthrough.

In the blink of an eye, the gap between the two sides widened to 11 points.

But the good news is that the Western Conference lineup has almost changed drastically with Popovich quietly replacing one player every round.

Nash, Allen, James, Nowitzki and Gasol.

As for this lineup, although the organizational rights are given to Nash, the other four players except James are of non-competitive character. No matter how Popovich wants them to play, even if they don't fight hard, they will not slack off or resist too much.

The only problem is that the fans don’t like this lineup!
Whose All-Star Game has 3 substitutes and no starters in the last 5 minutes?

Bullshit!

The fans at the scene even booed and cursed to boycott Popovich's lineup.

But the old man held on!
Just let them fight.

He believed that as long as he could win, no matter how many boos and scolds there were, after the game, 100% of them would be praise for his excellent deployment of troops, his masterful use of troops and his successful reversal.

Even if the game was won, after the game it was not others who criticized Popovich, but Popovich who criticized the fans: Look, this is James, the leader of the No. 1 team in the West! How could such a great guy not be in the All-Star starting lineup?
Your vote is a joke!
The main strategy is to turn the tables and strike first to gain the upper hand!

As for what if the reversal fails and we lose?

If you lose, just withstand the pressure!

Popovich said: I can handle it myself!
He certainly knows the principle that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

He also knew that by doing this he was putting James on the spot.

If they fail, he and James will surely be faced with a bloody storm.

But if successful, not only will Popovich be able to gain the title of a military god, but even James will be able to become a god in one battle!
Well, of course, being deified is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is definitely not an exaggeration to have made a name for himself in one battle, walked into the hearts of most fans, established himself as the 'Son of America' and the 'King of Versions', and become a permanent All-Star starter!
More importantly, Popovich knows that although his team has James and McGrady, the stars are dim. Compared with the Timberwolves and the Lakers, these players in his team are not shining enough.

Yes, James was a "prodigy" when he entered the league and was known as the strongest high school student in history. He signed a sky-high sneaker contract with Nike right after entering the league, and various sponsors also came to cooperate with him one after another.

Almost everyone believes that James can become the king of the league in the next 5-8 years and become another league overlord after Lin Tian retires and ages.

Even looking at the statistics and results, this year's James will most likely be selected into the annual first team and become one of the top 5 players in the NBA.

But that's not enough!
The fact that he failed to make the All-Star starting lineup proves that he is not popular enough and has not received enough attention and respect. At least when facing those "king-level" stars in the Western Conference, he is not good enough!
So he had to forcefully create a star, and had to forcefully and quickly bring out James.

Of course, it is not just for James to have more fans and more income.

Popovich is after the whistle! Especially the whistle in the playoffs!
Otherwise, with the current "star power" of the Spurs, when they meet the Lakers and Timberwolves in the playoffs, they will not be targeted by the referees or have bad whistles, but they will definitely not get the upper hand.

Popovich doesn't want this.

He wants to take advantage! He wants his players to take advantage in the playoffs, whether at home or away.

This will help the team go further.

This is why he had to bear the tremendous pressure tonight and support James at this time.

Is there any game that attracts more attention than the All-Star Game and can make players become idols more quickly?
Tonight, we must play! If you, James, can't control the situation, I, Popovich, will help you control the situation even if I lose face!

Fortunately, in the next 2 minutes, James and the Western Conference team did not disappoint Popovich!

On the court, the situation reversed rapidly!

Anthony, who had already scored 33 points, missed several shots in a row. The Eastern team missed shots one after another during this period. Only Big Ben grabbed a frontcourt rebound and then made a tip-in to get 2 points for the Eastern team. All the other Eastern team members did not score a single point.

As for the Western Conference, after gaining absolute autonomy and the support of top teammates, James also demonstrated his versatility and strength.

He broke through and passed the ball to Nash, who made a 3-pointer. After the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Nowitzki, who made a mid-range shot.

He grabbed the rebound and made a slam dunk.

James rushed to the basket, attracted a double-team and found Ray Allen who made another 3-pointer!
James grabbed the backcourt rebound and ran all the way, suddenly stopped outside the 3-point line and made a 3-pointer!
125: 125!

With James's 3-pointer, the two sides finally tied with 55 seconds left in the game!
The Western Conference erased an 11-point deficit and is now in great momentum!
Old Nelson also called a timeout at this time.

It has to be adjusted.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Even if he doesn't take the All-Stars seriously, old Nelson doesn't want to lose.

I don’t want to lose the game in such a humiliating way by being overtaken by more than ten points.

Shame on you!
At this moment, the fans in the entire stadium stopped booing. The exciting two minutes of game just now made them excited again, and the whole stadium was drowned in the crazy cheers of the fans.

"LeBron! LeBron! LeBron!"

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

The fans' crazy roar proved that Popovich was right.

As long as we can win, it doesn’t matter!

Next, it all depends on this last minute!
Although those top stars still looked disdainful at this time, and just came over to listen when he was arranging tactics, Popovich knew very well that no matter how he arranged it, these top stars would not give him face.

I have offended them enough. It's professional of them to come and listen. If I put them on the court to play with James later, there will 100% chance that there will be another exciting moment of one person holding the ball and four people opening their arms to ask for the ball.

The best way is to let them sit and rest on the sidelines.

Then it’s best to do nothing!

The game was already like this, and Popovich was not going to use them again.

If you want to do it, do it to the end!

"I don't care what you guys were dreaming about in the last two minutes, and I don't care where your minds have drifted to in this world. Now, everyone, calm down! Do you understand?"

"I don't want to lose, and I believe you don't want to lose either. Keep the game stable and take it back for me! If you lose this game, I don't need to tell you how embarrassed you will be, right?"

"Isn't that James nicknamed 'Little Emperor'? Very good! If you lose this game, he will become the real 'Emperor', and he will ascend the throne by stepping on your shoulders!"

"Melo, you will become the most hilarious No. 1 pick in history, because the No. 2 pick behind you has officially ascended the throne!"

"That's all I have to say. It's up to you five to decide how to play. Go ahead." After saying that, old Nelson waved his hand, signaling his brothers to do what they were supposed to do.

All I can say is that old Nelson doesn't want to lose, but he really doesn't care that much.

That is to say, it is just a slight effort.

This time, Popovich and Nelson did not make any substitutions, and the same ten players continued to play.

The two head coaches are surprisingly consistent on this point.

Lin Tian took the sideline ball from Big Ben and faced James at the top of the arc.

"Hey? Is this also part of your plan to ascend the throne, LeBron? You took the initiative to come against me, then defended me twice, and then scored the go-ahead goal yourself. Is this your plan?" Lin Tian immediately started to mock James when he saw him.

"You know my plan. Do you have the guts to attack on your own, Lin? Do you have the guts to break through my defense and challenge me one-on-one?" James slapped the floor, his eyes sparkling with excitement and said, "Come on! If you're a man, come on!"

"Come on! You're looking for death, so don't blame me!" Lin Tian snorted, suddenly dribbled backwards, and opened his hands, signaling everyone to move away from him.

Clear the field for me, I want to hit this guy with a ball!
Then, just as James followed closely and cautiously moved forward to defend Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian made his move!
He threw the basketball directly into the basket!

Yes, it's a pass.

Anthony took advantage of the opportunity when everyone was apart and the Western team was not concentrating. In the blink of an eye, he made a reverse run and cut inside, got to the basket, then caught Lin Tian's pass and jumped up for a two-handed dunk!
"Nice pass, Lin!" Anthony stretched out his hand and shouted at Lin Tian.

"Mero, you have grown up! You can understand what I mean!" Lin Tian was also quite satisfied. Anthony finally matured!
Lin Tian could clearly remember that at this time last year, he waved his arm to signal everyone to move away, and people like Anthony and Stoudemire immediately moved away obediently.

Obedient, but not bad enough.

Mr. Lin needs his teammates to be a little bit more evil and sinister.

For example, this ball just now caught you off guard!
You have no time to prepare or defend.

"A coward who only knows how to play smart!" James snorted, then turned around to receive the ball from the baseline.

But before he could open his hands, Lin Tian took the lead and blocked in front of him, and at the same time gave him a full physical confrontation! This sudden confrontation almost made James stagger!
It can be seen how sudden and how much strength Lin Tian put in this move.

"Come on, don't pass the ball if you have the guts. Show me how a mature and brave man plays basketball." Lin Tian mocked, "If you have the guts, start advancing with the ball from the backcourt! Score a goal on my head if you have the guts."

"Let's see who will die more miserably today."

"You trash-talk me? You deserve it!"

"What little emperor? I think you are just a little jester or a little servant. You are not even a knight, because a knight at least has the courage to face me. What about you? Do you have the courage to let Steve wait in the other half of the court, and then advance by yourself?"

James was caught off guard by Lin Tian's machine gun-like trash talk attack. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't find a chance to interrupt, nor could he respond with even a single word.

Lin Tian speaks too fast.

But fortunately, James is not a coward. Even after being criticized like this, if he still raised his hand to signal to pass the ball to Nash from the baseline, he would not have to raise his head to talk to Lin Tian in the future.

He could only use one arm to push Lin Tian away, then stretched out his hand to signal to pass the ball.

After getting the ball at the baseline, facing Lin Tian’s rapidly improving defensive level, James could only move forward cautiously.

Fortunately, although his dribbling ability is not as good as that of the league's top guards like Lin Tian and Nash, he still has obvious physical advantages.

It would be difficult to overtake Lin Tian by simply accelerating and rushing forward, but it would be absolutely no problem to turn around, push Lin Tian away with your buttocks, and then slowly advance!

After coming to the frontcourt with Lin Tian, ​​James tried twice to turn around to face the basket and complete a breakthrough, but failed both times!
He failed to find a chance to turn around twice, Lin Tian's defense was just too perfect!

He almost locked all the angles that James could turn around. Even James felt that if he turned around forcibly, there was a high probability that Lin Tian would steal the ball directly.

Fortunately, at this time Nowitzki ran over quickly and made a pick-and-roll with James at the top of the arc. James then turned around, and then he accelerated with all his strength, trying to break through to the inside!

But he only took one step forward when he felt that he had lost control of the basketball! (End of this chapter)
