NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

Chapter 587 Go win that damn championship, Alonzo!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The first two games of the series ended so quickly!

The Knicks easily won two consecutive victories at Madison Square Garden!
In the two games, they beat the Heat by 18 points and 13 points respectively, which was considered an easy win without any major problems.

At the same time, their absolute core, the trio of Lin Tian, ​​Stoudemire and Anthony, played for less than 33 minutes in the first two games!

It can be seen from this time that the Knicks won 31 points in two games because they were too lazy to win too much, not because they could only win this much.

The Heat fell before they even made any effort. The gap in strength between the two sides is indeed huge!

比如尼克斯队的三剑客之中，林天两场比赛分别拿下24分11篮板12助攻和20分15篮板17助攻的三双数据，安东尼是一场31分一场20分，小斯是一场23分一场30分。

Take it easy, get the maximum output in the shortest time, and then go down and take a rest!
As for the Heat, the good news is that the young players were not nervous at all. They viewed their first playoff trip as quite calm, and their playing level was not much different from that of the regular season. Everyone performed to their expected level.

Of course, this is probably not because of how good their psychological quality is or how strong their abilities are.

This is mainly because the Knicks basically don't defend and let them play as they please, so the Heat can perform as usual, and even have the feeling that this is what the playoffs are like.

By the third game of the series, the American Airlines Center in Miami was packed with people, and the fans filled the arena completely early on.

It's not just because this game is the team's best chance and the best time for them to avoid a sweep, but also because the Knicks have Alonso in this game!
The fans miss Mourning so much!
Even though Mourning had been here during the regular season, and even though Mourning did not get many opportunities in the Knicks this season, he only played 40 times this season, averaging only 8 minutes per game, and his statistics were only 2 points, 1 rebound and 0.5 blocks.

He is no longer the Miami Optimus Prime Alonso. Injuries and age have brought him to the brink of retirement, making him an absolute marginal player.

But this does not affect the fans' love for him.

Fans love Mourning, not because of how great he is, but because this tough guy has brought countless happiness to the fans!

An hour before the game started, when the Knicks players entered the court to warm up, the fans at the scene could not contain their joy and excitement.

"Alonzo! Alonzo! Alonzo!"

"Go get that damn championship!"

"We're waiting for you to come back!"

“Miami is your home!”

"Once you win the championship, come back quickly!"

"Lin, you have to lead Alonzo to win the championship!"

"Alonzo! You are the MVP forever!"

"Lin! I voted a lot for you during the All-Star voting! You must lead the team to win the championship!"

"Eliminate us! We want to see Alonzo win the championship!"

As soon as the fans at the scene saw Mourning, they shouted wildly, cheered for him, and gave him their most sincere blessings. Even Lin Tian received cheers from the Miami fans.

This was a first for Lin Tian. After all, he and his team had beaten the Heat many times in the playoffs! It could be said that Lin Tian was responsible for the fact that Riley's previous team building did not win even one championship.

It's all this guy's fault!
It is precisely because of this that every time Lin Tian came to Miami, the fans here would boo and spray him to their hearts’ content. They hated Lin Tian!
But now, because of Mourning's presence, Miami fans actually started to cheer for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was listening to the cheers of the fans and felt a little moved.

This is what the NBA should be like! This is also why he attracts fans.

If it is just business, only winning and losing, without emotions and stories, and without those touching mutual contributions, this alliance will be just a cold machine.

Only people like Mourning and fans like Miami can make this league truly attract more and more fans to watch the game!
As the fans cheered, Mourning also burst into tears. He had hardly said a word this entire season, but he walked to the center of the court, waved to all the fans, and then bowed in four directions to thank the fans for their love.

Then the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and the big screen played Mourning's game highlights. This was a gift prepared for him by Riley, and also Riley's respect for Mourning!

The video is not long, just over a minute of tribute video is gone in the blink of an eye, but for Mourning and the fans here, this is their entire youth!
Then, at the end of the video, two lines of words slowly lit up on the big screen.

"Go win that damn championship!"

"Miami is always proud!"

When the two lines of words faded, the lights in the entire venue lit up again. Riley and Heat owner Arison walked to the side of the court at some point, holding a Mourning jersey in their hands, and walked towards Mourning.

Accompanied by the crazy cheers of the fans, the three of them hugged each other affectionately.

"Come back after you win the championship. If you want to play, you can play for as many years as you want. If you don't want to play, I can raise this jersey for you at any time!" Arison patted Mourning on the shoulder and gave the best promise a boss could give.

"I'm sorry, Alonzo, I was never able to lead you to win the championship, but at least I sent you to a place where you can win the championship, right? I believe in you, and I believe you can contribute your strength to the Knicks!" Riley kept patting Mourning's shoulders, and the emotions in his eyes were indescribable.

At this time, no one from either the Knicks or the Heat came forward to act funny or disrupt their tribute ceremony. This is the respect that Mourning deserves.

"Do you think we will have this day in the future?" Anthony looked at the three people in the middle with some longing, with a hint of jealousy in his words.

"We can do it." Stoudemire patted his chest and said, "We will lead the Knicks to win the championship. We will become an indispensable part of the Knicks! Our jerseys will be hung on the ceiling of the Knicks!"

"I firmly believe so!"

"me too!"

At this time, the tribute ceremony was over. Mourning walked back to the Knicks bench with red eyes. Before he could speak, Lin Tian gave him a hug.

"Everything you put in will pay off, and this year, we will definitely become the champions!"

"Yes, become a champion! For Alonzo!" Anthony was the first to raise his arm and shout loudly.

"Become the champion! For Alonzo!" The other players of the Knicks also cheered. They were all shocked by the scene just now. At this moment, everyone has a strong desire to fight. They can't wait to compete with the Heat!

"We do want to win the championship, and it's for Alonzo." Lin Tian turned around and looked at his teammates, shouting excitedly, "But it's also for ourselves! Go! Today, let's tear Miami apart! Let's beat them to their knees and beg for mercy! Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

"Smash all the damn Miami people!"

"we are the champion!"

As the players cheered, Mourning's expression changed again. At this moment, he was neither amused nor helpless.

Damn, a tribute ceremony just gave those Knicks bastards a boost, right?
He didn't even know whether he should shout slogans with others.

When this slogan was shouted out, even Mo Ning felt it was extremely treasonous.

In his heart, he is still a real Miami person.

Tangled! Quite tangled! But fortunately, he only needs to keep his entanglement in his heart.

Because he did not play in the first two games of the playoffs, he probably won't have any chance to play tonight.

Although Mourning was not very eager for a championship ring that was completely freeloaded and with almost no effort, he hoped very much that he could play and make some contributions to the team, but he knew his current position better.

He won't talk to Nelson Sr. for playing time and opportunities, nor will he make a fuss.

At his age and given his medical history, it is very lucky and exciting that he can still stay on the court. He doesn't ask for anything else.

"Relax, Alonzo." Just when Mourning was feeling anxious, Nelson sat next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you really think I would let a former top center sit on the bench? You'll have a chance in this year's playoffs."

"I will make sure you win the championship legitimately!"

"Coach!" Mourning seemed to be particularly emotional tonight. As he looked at old Nelson, his eyes became red again.

"But not tonight. You have to sit on the bench today, and even for the first two rounds of the playoffs. You are our secret weapon, the ultimate weapon we use to kill the opponent at the critical moment!"

"Alonzo, be prepared. I may call your name at any time and you may play for 20 or even 30 minutes. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Mourning nodded firmly, "Even if you let me play for 48 minutes right now, I'm ready. I can do it!"

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

"I said, not tonight." Old Nelson rolled his eyes.

Then he said nothing more and sat back in his seat.

The third game of this series is about to begin!

Neither side made any adjustments tonight and continued with their previous lineups.

Of course, there is nothing for the Knicks to adjust. They have completely dominated the Heat and have the upper hand. There is no need to adjust.

As for the Heat, they have no room for adjustment. The team can only use so many players. Changing players again will only make the team's performance worse.

This is the only way to fight!
"Dudu!"

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins!
Dampier and Okur jumped at the same time, and the taller and stronger Dampier successfully got the ball for the Heat in the first wave of offense.

Hinrich held the basketball, raised his elbow and swung it twice to prevent Lin Tian from stealing the ball, then he raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone! Let's play one by one! Let's show Big Brother our level tonight!"

"Let Alonzo know that we are fine without him!"

"Yes!"

On the Heat side, the players also shouted together! Obviously, it was not just the Knicks players who were ignited by the tribute ceremony.

The Heat are also on fire!
Get excited, then let’s duel!
Hinrich dribbled steadily to the frontcourt, then let Dampier come forward and do a pick-and-roll with him. After a single screen, Hinrich just jumped up and shot the 3-pointer directly!

"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Hinrich scored a 3-pointer to open the scoring for the Heat!

"This guy didn't play like this in the first two games." Lin Tian smiled and stretched out his hand to signal his teammates to pass the baseline ball to him. At the same time, he looked at Hinrich and said, "You're trying your best, right?"

"Tonight is different, Lin! We will be more determined tonight than before! For Alonzo, we must win this game!"

"If it's for Alonzo, shouldn't you lose cleanly?" Lin Tian couldn't help but complain: "Letting us advance easily is the best way for Alonzo to win the championship!"

silence.

After Lin Tian's words, Xin Liqi fell silent.

His response turned into a physical response. Hinrich's defense became more fierce and his attack became more ruthless. He stuck to Lin Tian from behind and put a tight defense on Lin Tian!
However, although one of Hinrich's selling points is defense, Lin Tian had experienced a more ferocious defense of his level from Payton 10 years ago. He had no reaction at all, but raised his hand to signal Stoudemire to come forward, and then also cooperated with a pick-and-roll.

After the same single screen, Lin Tian opened up the distance and took a 3-point shot!
"Shh!"

3: 3!

"Determined? Decisive?" After scoring the goal, Lin Tian continued to look at Hinrich and taunted him, "We play like this every day. You just brought this thing out today. Who do you expect to beat?"

After saying this, Hinrich also received the ball from his teammate at the baseline, but this time Lin Tian was more aggressive than before, almost sticking directly to Hinrich.

This is Lin Tian’s response to the Heat!
Want to see who hits harder? Want to see who is tougher?

Then come on!

See who is more fierce!
Hinrich's calmness prevented him from forcibly breaking through Lin Tian's defense, but he chose to pass the ball the moment Lin Tian approached.

The basketball came into the hands of the team's top core, power forward Odom.

The versatile Odom is called a power forward, but in fact, the only thing about him that makes him a power forward is his rebounding ability and height.

The rest of his playing style, game style and skills are more like a swingman.

Advancing with the ball, organizing offense, breaking through the pick-and-roll, distributing the ball, posting up...

This guy knows almost every trick on the basketball court and does it well.

He is someone who can truly play from position 1 to position 5.

But unfortunately, Odom did all these things well, but none of them reached the top level. He was more like a jack-of-all-trades top puzzle piece, not a leader of a team.

In addition to his extremely comprehensive but not yet proficient skills, Odom's other problem is his personality.

This guy has a too unrestrained personality. He is always cheerful and rarely gets excited enough to fight with others to the point of bloodshed. Another problem that people criticize him for is his lack of concentration.

This guy is always distracted during the game and always makes some extremely low-level and funny mistakes.

In other words, there are no top five embarrassing moments in this era, otherwise Odom would definitely replace McGee and become the king of the first generation of top five embarrassing moments!
Odom's overly carefree personality and casual temper limit his ceiling.

But his skills and talents are enough to ensure his success!

For example, in this shot, when Odom dribbled to the frontcourt and faced Stoudemire at a 45-degree angle on the right, this guy did not stop, but continued to dribble toward the right sideline, while stretching out his hand to direct his teammates, as if he wanted to open up space and then pass the ball to his teammates for organization.

But in the next moment, this guy suddenly changed direction drastically, and the basketball came to the left in the blink of an eye. He stomped his feet hard and rushed out like a rocket! Xiao Si had no time to do anything except watching from behind!

too fast!
Odom's speed is so fast that even Stoudemire, who has top-notch mobility at the power forward position, can't keep up with him!

Of course, one of the reasons is that Stoudemire's defense is terrible and he can't defend, but the more important reason is: Odom is really talented!

He passed Stoudemire in one step and broke into the inside in the blink of an eye. Odom jumped up to meet Okur, did a pull-up in the air to avoid Okur's block, and then easily made a layup with his left hand and put the ball into the basket!
After scoring the goal, the happy Odom proudly raised his legs high and quickly returned to defense, his mouth wide open with a smile that seemed to extend to the back of his head.

This is the guy's personality, cheerful, easy to be happy and full of joy.

If it were a regular season or All-Star Game, Odom's personality could heat up the entire venue.

But on the stage of the playoffs, when he was celebrating proudly, the Knicks' baseline ball had already been sent out quickly and came behind him. By the time he found it and was about to turn around and return to defense, Lin Tian had already reached outside the Heat's three-point line!

Facing Hinrich, Lin Tian made full use of his overwhelming advantage in physical talent and played simply and efficiently. He did not entangle with Hinrich at all, but changed direction and accelerated, passing Hinrich cleanly and going straight into the empty inside of the Heat team.
