NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

The Palace of Auburn Hills is not located in the city of Detroit, or rather, this shabby place is quite remote. Apart from roads and necessary supporting facilities of the stadium, it is absolutely no exaggeration to say that there is nothing else around it.

The entire arena is located 20 kilometers southwest of downtown Detroit. The biggest label of this place is that it is remote!

Some people say that the biggest reason why the stadium was built here is that Detroit people are too crazy. They are so crazy that every game will cause serious nuisance to the public, making nearby residents miserable.

That’s why such a stadium was built in such a place back then.

Just to have fun!

I just hope that every Detroiter who comes here can let go of any burden, express themselves to their heart's content, and enjoy every sports night here.

Regardless of whether this legend is true or false, it can be seen how crazy the fans here are and how tough the atmosphere here is.

When the Knicks bus was 2-3 kilometers away from the Palace of Auburn Hills, all kinds of noises and the crazy shouts of fans could be heard. Detroit people had entered carnival mode.

The closer you get to the Palace of Auburn Hills, the more fans with all kinds of spray paint, a variety of materials, and all kinds of other things that are hard to describe but are absolutely crazy.

The players even saw a madman in the car firing a submachine gun at the sky!
Even old Nelson was now thankful that the team did not use the official NBA bus, but instead just found a bus without any logo or mark to come here.

Otherwise, something unexpected might really happen.

Detroit people are so simple!

As the bus smoothly arrived at the arena and entered the player-only passage, the noisy noises and crazy fans gradually faded away, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was not their first time to come to Detroit to play away games, nor was it their first time to come here to play in the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the madness of the fans tonight is absolutely unprecedented.

They are all crazy!

"It seems that they are looking forward to defending the title to an indescribable degree." After everyone came to the locker room and changed their clothes, Lin Tian was the first to stand up and said to his players, "Let's go and destroy the dreams of the Detroit people!"

"Go and tear their dreams to pieces!"

Just when everyone was somewhat worried and tremblingly stood up to follow Lin Tian in shouting slogans, Lin Tian suddenly changed the subject and said, "Then, after the game is over, I'll borrow a bus with the Pistons logo printed on it, and we'll take it."

"Good!"

"Smart boss!"

"As expected of our boss!"

"Kill them!"

"Smash the Pistons!"

As soon as Lin Tian said this, the brothers immediately became excited!
My brother Lin is really well prepared, what a real man! When it’s time to give in, he doesn’t waste a second!
Under Lin Tian's leadership, everyone followed him into the stadium.

Get ready for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals!

Old Nelson followed at the end and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

This Lin Tian really understands people's hearts thoroughly.

He knows exactly when to be tough, when to relax, and when to make a joke to make everyone feel relieved. He is a perfect leader!

Old Nelson now feels that the reason he can coach him is not because he has a good eye for talent, but because Lin Tian gave him this opportunity. He is just extremely lucky!

Since you are lucky, you can't waste it!

Come on, Detroit people, tonight is the first step to a perfect New York dynasty!
Smash you.

Dozens of minutes later, when all the warm-up and preparations were completed, the starting players of both sides stood on the court. They were ready and just waiting for the game to begin.

This time, neither side talked trash, attacked each other, or expressed determination.

They both know what they should do and what the other party wants to do.

It’s the night of the final battle, no nonsense is needed!
Compared to the players' calmness and composure, the fans of Auburn Hills have been making all kinds of boos and curses since the warm-up. The noise they made once again proved the correctness of the stadium's location!
Such a bunch of crazy guys are indeed not suitable to appear too close to the city.

There are too many uncertainties.

"Dudu!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the game, and the basketball was thrown into the air!
"Snapped!"

Facing Big Ben, Okur had an absolute height advantage, and he easily got the first wave of offensive power for the Knicks.

At the same time, the Pistons obviously knew that they had little chance of getting the first wave of ball possession, so they retreated very quickly. Almost at the same time as the referee whistle, everyone began to retreat quickly and entered defensive mode at the first opportunity.

But just when the Pistons players had retreated to a suitable defensive position, they were surprised to find that there was a traitor among them!
No, an enemy appeared among them!
Lin Tian, ​​dribbling the ball, almost reached the Pistons' territory at the same time. In other words, Lin Tian, ​​dribbling the ball, took the initiative to get into the Pistons' encirclement!
This is simply suicide!

Fortunately, even though they were shocked, the Pistons were the best defensive team in the league. They reacted almost instantly. The two people closest to Lin Tian quickly approached Lin Tian and double-teamed him.

But Lin Tian's reaction was faster. Just before Artest approached him from the side, he had already completed the jump and made a lob shot despite Big Ben's defense!
"Shh!"

After a crisp sound, Lin Tian scored the first goal for the team with his speed and touch within less than 5 seconds!

"Too slow." After scoring the goal, Lin Tian glanced at all the people on the Knicks team, snorted, and then began to retreat.

"So fast!" Barkley couldn't help but say, "It was so fast that it looked like a mindless breakthrough that sent him directly into the Pistons' encirclement. This is definitely a breakthrough method that all coaches hate and dislike."

"But Lin can score in this way!"

"On the other hand, although Lin's move seemed stupid, he managed to score! This is definitely a huge blow to the Pistons' confidence!" Kenny followed up, "I think the opening stage of this game will definitely be quite exciting!"

Facing Lin Tian's rapid attack, Billups was not in a hurry at all. Even though the Knicks did not put in a full-court press, he was still very slow in crossing the half court. He almost crossed the half court on the verge of an 8-second violation.

You could say he was just strolling!
But after strolling to the frontcourt, Billups immediately became tense!

Rashid and Big Ben came forward at the same time and gave him a high double screen, creating an open space for him.

Billups immediately advanced with the ball and headed towards the Knicks' basket.

But at this time, the Knicks' poor defense helped them.

Before Stoudemire and Okur could even leave, Billups had already arrived.

The two men ran into Billups who was breaking through without moving a step.

WTF!

Billups cursed in his heart, and then driven by instinct, he turned around and looked at the moon, wanting to pass the ball to Rashid behind him.

After all, both inside players are here, so Rashid must have been missed!
But Billups forgot about Lin Tian!

This is almost the only guy on the entire team who tries hard to defend.

Lin Tian watched Billups rushing to the inside and made a quick judgment, thinking that Billups would pass the ball to Rasheed, so he hid behind Rasheed, and then at the moment Billups passed the ball, he suddenly turned around and stood in front of Rasheed to complete the steal!

The moment Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, he didn't even need to shout, Houston and Anthony started running as fast as they could!
Although Artest and Hamilton followed closely, Lin Tian immediately passed the ball to Anthony, who advanced to the 3-point line and then passed it to Houston who was advancing quickly. Houston did not make any adjustments after getting the ball, and just threw it straight up!

The young Hamilton never thought that his old comrade would be so crazy that he dared to drift and throw the ball directly into the middle distance, so he was unable to react in time and only had time to stretch out his hand to tentatively interfere.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Houston made a mid-range jump shot!

"Today, grandpa will teach you what a real shot is!" After scoring, Houston also had a fierce look on his face. He was eager to prove himself! After all, he was the one who received the most doubts in the Knicks team in the past year.

Countless people said that he was old and should step down and give up his starting position.

As for Houston, at this age, it doesn't matter whether he is allowed to start or not. He can follow instructions, but you question me? Then I have to play something out!

This game is also extremely important for Houston!
"Hold on! It's okay." Billups, who made the mistake, walked back to his own half slowly, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down and not to worry. At the same time, he patted his chest and said, "This ball is mine, I will hit it back, everyone remember our goal and tactics."

After saying that, Billups motioned to Hamilton to pick up the basketball and serve the ball out from the baseline.

The Pistons' offense was still slow. It was obvious that they had made up their minds to take it slow, slow down the tempo, and completely slow down the game.

This time, the Pistons relied on tactics to direct several rounds from the outside, and the final chance actually came from Big Ben, who got a chance to directly pull up and dunk.

But this time Stoudemire also rushed very fast. He arrived at the first moment, opened his arms, and covered Big Ben. Big Ben, who was unable to dunk in the first time, had no choice but to do a half turn, then jumped up for a hook shot, trying to feel the feeling.

Honestly speaking, Stoudemire's defense was not worth mentioning. He just prevented Ben from dunking directly due to his lack of height. His subsequent open-hand defense was obviously more of a bluff and a way to intimidate people, and had no actual defensive significance.

If 90% of the league's inside players were in this position, they would probably be able to easily hook the ball in.

But alas, this is Da Ben!

His hook shot failed to go into the basket, and his hook shot that was very close actually bounced out of the basket!

This guy's offensive talent is really not as good as his grandmother's.

Stoudemire reacted quickly, turned around and grabbed the rebound, then found Lin Tian as soon as possible. When Lin Tian got the basketball, the other three players of the Knicks had already rushed across half court!
Of course, the Pistons' defense retreated incredibly quickly. Except for Ben Wallace in the interior and Billups who stuck to Lin Tian to delay his advance, the rest of the players had also retreated to their own half.

"Both sides are so fast! They are never idle for a moment." Barkley couldn't help but say, "Kenny is right. The first few minutes of this game will be extremely tense and crazy! Maybe the biggest highlight of this series will appear in these few minutes!"

While Barkley was speaking, Lin Tian had already broken into the Pistons' three-point line. Hamilton and Artest immediately surrounded him from the left and right. With Billups behind him, Lin Tian almost had to withstand the defense of three people and forced his way towards the three-second zone!
After reaching the basket, Ben, who had just returned to his position, jumped vertically and opened his arms to try to push the basketball out of Lin Tian's hand.

But Lin Tian's waist and abdomen strength is so good that facing Big Ben's ultimate help defense, he suddenly twisted his waist in the air and avoided Big Ben's hands.

Then he shook his left wrist slightly and made a pull-up layup that flew towards the backboard.

"Pah! Whoa!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, Lin Tian hit a layup, and the Knicks beat the Pistons 6:0 at the start!

"Ben!" Brown, who was sitting on the sidelines, almost stood up violently and said angrily: "What did we say before the game! What did you do! Do what you should do! You are a center! You are the center of Detroit!"

"I understand, coach!" Big Ben nodded solemnly. Although he didn't say anything and Brown didn't say how they arranged it, just by looking at the expressions of these people, Lin Tian knew: Brown was obviously dissatisfied with the strength of the Pistons and believed that they did not play with the intensity and performance that Brown wanted before the game.

And Big Ben’s response also shows that the Pistons are going to increase their intensity!

"Warm-ups are over, guys." Lin Tian responded by clapping his hands with a smile, and said to his teammates, "The game officially begins!"

"Yes!"

The uniform shouts, coupled with the Knicks' terrible and chaotic defense, were really hard to understand, and their all-out efforts also seemed a little unconvincing.

For example, in this round the Pistons finally scored, with Rashid hitting a mid-range step-back shot from the left side.

But the basketball didn't even enter the basket, and Okur, who had just been facing him, had already turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

"FUXX!" Rashid cursed and could only turn around and run to the backcourt with Okur. He didn't like the current rhythm at all.

But the Knicks like it!

Stoudemire quickly got the ball in the backcourt, then passed it to Lin Tian immediately, and then the entire Knicks team quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

This time, after Lin Tian came all the way to the front court, he simply did two crotch kicks and took a breath. Then Lin Tian accelerated directly and passed by Billups in the blink of an eye, but this time Lin Tian just took a step forward and suddenly stopped.

Then he raised the ball with both hands and swung it towards the sky. Billups, who was anxious to block the shot behind him, was finally fooled. He jumped up following Lin Tian's fake move.

"FUXX!"

Knowing that he had been tricked, Billups could do nothing but resign himself to his fate and curse.

He watched Lin Tian jump up, rub against him, and make an elegant shot.

The referee's whistle and the sound of the basketball approaching the basket sounded again at the same time.

"Shh!"

"2 points valid, one free throw!"

Lin Tian successfully beat Billups with a 2+1!

"Chauncey, you have to stay calm. If your defense was half as calm as when you were advancing, you wouldn't have been fouled so easily by me."

Lin Tian, ​​who had taken advantage of the situation, looked back at Billups lying on the ground, but did not reach out to pull him up.

Billups didn't plan to let Lin Tian pull him up, but waited for Hamilton to come over, and then he successfully stood up with the help of his teammates.

They both knew that this game did not require friendship or mutual respect between enemies.

This night, this place is a life-and-death battlefield!
"Shh!"

Lin Tian, ​​standing on the free throw line, easily made the free throw. The Knicks started the game very aggressively, beating the Pistons 9:2. They were already leading by 7 points!

Next, Brown quickly called a timeout. He had to make some arrangements. He was completely dissatisfied with the team's performance!

"Ben, what did I teach you? See blood! I'll say it one last time. If Lin comes charging in again, I'm going to kill that bastard, the damn bastard you call your big brother!"

"I want to see the blood of this bastard! You fucking bastard, do you understand?" Brown added countless swear words to this sentence, which was full of curse words.

But this time, Big Ben finally understood. He nodded firmly and said, "I understand, coach. I won't let you down again!"

"Chauncey, and you!" Brown looked at Billups and said, "That mistake was fine. I don't blame you. Your advancement and organization were fine, but what were you doing just now?"

"What did you do after you were shaken?"

"If he shakes you up again, hold him! It's okay to foul! We can foul, even rough fouls! But I won't allow it, and I don't want to see them beat us 2+1 again!"

"Remember our principles: 2 free throws? No problem! 2+1? Damn it! Got it?"

"Understood!" (End of chapter)
