NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

What does New York vs. Los Angeles mean?
To be honest, Stern doesn't know either.

But he is very clear that this round of the series, whether it is the ratings, economic benefits, topicality, popularity or various other things, will definitely reach a new height!

These two cities look down on each other. New York thinks that people from Los Angeles are country bumpkins who want to climb up the social ladder but don't know when to stop and who become self-righteous just because they made a few crappy movies.

People in Los Angeles think that New York is just a bunch of nouveau riche who have nothing but some filthy money.

The dislike between these two cities for each other comes from the bottom of their hearts!
Just before this round of games began, all major basketball and sports-related online forums across the United States were blown up, with people discussing and researching this series everywhere. Television stations with NBA copyrights also came up with various strategies, seizing the gap in the few days before the finals and frantically broadcasting related programs.

Game preview, game introduction, game prediction, matchup deduction, player analysis, tactical comparison, debate battle, player profile, grudges, past performance, and the road to promotion...

It can be said that all topics that can link these two teams together have been played out by media across the United States. They are frantically absorbing the traffic and topic brought by this series, and constantly hyping up the popularity of this series.

The NBA is taking advantage of this popularity to continuously attract fans and let more people know that this round of series is about to begin!
In order to maximize the benefits of this series and let more people know about and pay attention to this round of games, Sterns even found some ridiculous reasons to delay this series by one day!
Don’t ask. If you ask, it means we are not ready. If you ask, it means there is a problem with the venue and it needs repair!
Anyway, the game has to be postponed for one day.

Although it is only one day, it is enough for the league and various media to do more and continue to hype up this round of games.

At the same time, it is also to allow the two teams to rest as much as possible. Only when both sides recover to their best condition can this series truly bring the greatest benefits to the league.

"Game-break! Damn, we must play to the game-break!"

Even when Stern returned home at night, he would hold a cross tightly and pray devoutly.

Of course, if you look closely, you’ll find that this guy has a Koran under his pillow, a Buddha statue hanging on his wrist, and a statue of Zeus hidden in his quilt.

The main goal is to ask all the questions that can be asked, without leaving out any.

What if there is someone who is particularly free and willing to help?
Anyway, Stern himself doesn't suffer any loss.

"O'Neal only played half of the regular season this season, and in the nearly 40 games he rested, he was quite healthy and had no injuries in at least 20 games." Before the start of the finals, the Knicks started their pre-game analysis meeting as usual.

"This guy has lost all his dignity! For the sake of the playoffs and the championship, he didn't even play in the regular season. Before this, no star player of any team has ever been so shameless! And he rested so smartly!"

"I can only say that this kind of petty stealing behavior will definitely be retaliated! This kind of guy who wants to gain an advantage by taking shortcuts will definitely suffer retribution in the end!"

Old Nelson became more and more excited as he spoke, and said directly: "Damn it, no, I'm going to call Donnie and ask him to report the Lakers! No matter if it works or not, no matter if they will impose penalties or not, I have to disgust them anyway! How shameless."

After old Nelson's speech, there were bursts of laughter in the Knicks' meeting room as usual. Everyone was still quite respectful to the old man. If you tell a joke, the guys will definitely laugh.

"Of course, the question now is: Although O'Neal and Jackson have lost all their dignity, they are in really good shape! O'Neal has indeed regained his youth and become a young man again."

"In the regular season this season, his performance was not worth mentioning, just a very ordinary output. But in the playoffs, his condition is getting better and better, and he is more and more like a monster!"

"In the Western Conference Finals, this guy averaged 6 points, 38 rebounds and 18 blocks in 4 games! This prehistoric monster-like data was also the biggest reason why the Suns lost in the end! They couldn't keep up with or defend against O'Neal at all."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we won't be able to defend against him! When facing us, O'Neal will probably have a monster performance of averaging 40 points and 20 rebounds per game."

"And Kobe, this guy perfectly supported the team in the regular season this year without O'Neal. Not only did he win the scoring title, his average points per game was the highest in his career so far!"

"And in the playoffs, this guy was willing to give up his shooting rights to let O'Neal find his form and feeling, giving O'Neal the most shots and the most ball possessions of the team."

"Kobe's sacrifice was effective. The Lakers were almost invincible in the playoffs this season. Almost no one could take advantage of them. Whether it was the Timberwolves, Mavericks or Suns, they all won easily!"

"By the way, it's worth mentioning that although Kobe obviously reduced his shots in the playoffs, in the Western Conference Finals, he scored 40+ twice in six games, averaging 33 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game."

"Let me put it this way, O'Neal and Kobe are both unstoppable! Both of them are in peak condition, and they will do everything they can to get the damn championship trophy!"

"This year, they are going all in!"

At this point, Nelson paused, looked at the Knicks players in front of him and said, "What about you? What do you think?"

"Is there any team in this league that is more unstoppable and harder to beat than us? Is there anyone in this league that is in better shape than us?" Lin Tian chuckled and said, "They are just almost unbeatable."

"They are in great shape and they feel great, but look at their road to the next round! A single-core Iverson can take a victory away from them, and the Mavericks can also win against them."

"The Suns even beat them twice!"

"What about us? Can anyone win against us?"

"No! Not even one team! No matter if it's the Heat, Wizards or Pistons, they can't even take a victory away from us! We are the best, strongest and most unbeatable team in the playoffs!"

"Player status? Yes, O'Neal and Kobe are both at their peak, they are both unstoppable, but I looked at their statistics, in the first round, O'Neal scored less than 20 points in one game, and Kobe's hit rate was less than 30% in the fourth game against the Mavericks!"

"They have their ups and downs. There are times when they miss shots and times when they are in bad form and lose to their opponents."

"What about us?"

This time, every Knicks member opened their mouths at the same time and said, “We don’t!”

"Yes! We didn't! We didn't take any naps, and we didn't let our opponents steal our victory! We gave it our all, and we are invincible!"

"Invincible! Invincible!"

The Knicks players shouted again, expressing their full confidence and determination to win.

"And, most importantly," Nelson added with a smile, "Their players are unstoppable, but can ours be stopped?"

"Lin's performance was enough to crush the OK two! Against the Heat, he won the series easily without breaking a sweat, including a 53-point triple-double. Against the Wizards, he also didn't break a sweat, including a 60-point triple-double and locking up Arenas in overtime."

"In the Eastern Conference Finals, what could the Pistons, who beat the Lakers last year, do against us? Our Lin scored 15 points with 40 shots, breaking many records."

"Comparing the players' conditions? If the two of them hug each other, will they be enough to defeat our Lin Tian?"

Nelson said this, spreading his hands and said, "Maybe we can't defend against them, but no one in this world can defend against us! As long as we go all out and don't let down our guard, we can still sweep the Lakers in this series!"

"Our tactics remain unchanged. I will not study how to limit the OK combination, and I will not use any outdated Hack-a-Shaq tactics to limit O'Neal."

"This series is exactly the same as every series we've had before!"

"Attack! Attack! Attack! I want you to attack like crazy! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

All the Knicks players were completely inspired by Nelson's words. They raised their arms and cheered, showing their unparalleled confidence and determination.

Now, just wait for the game to begin!

On June 2006, 6, New York's Madison Square Garden was packed with people from the afternoon onwards. Cars and crowds had already crowded this holy place known as the Mecca of basketball.

There were people everywhere, fans everywhere, die-hard Knicks fans everywhere, fans everywhere singing and making all kinds of noise, most of them did not buy tickets and could only support their team at the door.

This final showdown between the two largest cities is bound to cause countless topics and discussions, as well as subsequent chain reactions!
Inside the stadium, fans who had tickets sat in their seats early, ready to cheer for the team!
Even when Lin Tian walked into the stadium and prepared to warm up, he was shocked by the enthusiasm and madness of the fans!

"Lin! Kill those Los Angeles rednecks!"

"Show them what garbage they are!"

"Making a few crappy movies is nothing! We don't want that kind of business!"

"It's just making some movies! The investors of the movies are all from New York!"

"We hold the lifeblood of Los Angeles in our hands!"

"Fuck those Los Angeles idiots one more time!" "Show them how far we've come!"

……

The fans' roars and trash talk continued one after another, and just when Lin Tian wanted to listen carefully to see if there was anything new, something new happened, because the Lakers entered the court!
"Country bumpkin! Trash! A country bumpkin who has never seen the world!"

"Go back to Los Angeles! You are a bunch of trash!"

"Are you frightened by the magnificent sight of New York? Even if you develop for a hundred years, you will never have a city this size!"

"Idiots making movies! You are just lackeys working for capital!"

"Half of New York City is bigger than your Los Angeles!"

"You guys aren't even as good as New Jersey!"

"My grandma just came back from Los Angeles and she was terrified! She thought she had time traveled to 18th century New York!"

……

Hearing the New York fans cursing so happily and creatively, Lin Tian also gave a thumbs up to these fans.

Good scolding, keep going!
Mr. Lin was ready to find some inspiration from it.

Lin Tian was listening to the fans' trash talk while chatting and shooting the ball with his teammates in a relaxed manner.

Then when he sees acquaintances watching the game on the sidelines, he will go over to say hello and have a good chat with those familiar fans.

For example, Spike Lee, who appears on the sidelines of Madison in almost every game, but has not appeared in Lin Tian’s sight for a long time, gave Lin Tian a good hug.

"Kill these bastards Lin! You better dunk on Shaq twice. If you can do that, I'll let you be the leading actor in my movie!"

"Come on, Spike, if I wanted to make that crappy movie of yours, I would have made it three years ago. Why would I have to wait until now?"

"I told you he wasn't interested. This guy is a complete realist!" Dolan was smoking a big cigar and wearing a rather flirty floral shirt. As usual, there was a sexy girl sitting on each side of him.

"Lin, you win tonight, both of these are yours." Dolan said with a lewd smile, "I know your taste, I brought two 'newcomers' tonight that I haven't touched before, I'm sure you will be satisfied!"

"James, let your little pet move aside and make room for me." Then, Hilton's very familiar voice came over. This 2-meter-tall woman stared at Dolan. Even though Dolan was from a top wealthy family, she couldn't help but shiver at this moment.

Then he patted one of the girls' butt and she obediently made way for Hilton.

Hilton sat down with satisfaction, and then stared at Lin Tian without hiding anything, saying: "If you can beat the Lakers, I don't need you to accompany me."

When Hilton said this, both Spike Lee and Dolan were stunned. What's going on? Has New York's number one meat-eating woman become a vegetarian?

Of course, ever since she got involved with Lin Tian, ​​Hilton's scandals went from being everywhere to being nothing. The paparazzi have never been able to take pictures of her fooling around again. This girl has been very honest in the past few years!

Even when Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys, a top star who was once famous throughout the media and the streets, took the initiative to express his love to Hilton and expressed his hope to develop a relationship with her, Hilton refused without even a second thought.

She also said quite bluntly: "I don't like gigolos. I'm afraid I'll squeeze you dry!"

This kind of rejection, which directly meant that you are not capable of it, really made Carter lose face.

But what can he do? He can't afford to offend Hilton.

Stars like them still have to look at the faces of truly wealthy families like the Hilton family.

Prove it? How can he prove it?

Isn't that exposing one's own shortcomings?

He could only swallow his loss and go look for other prey.

But of course, outsiders thought that Hilton had turned over a new leaf and was going to focus on her career and work hard to develop the family business, but people who knew the situation knew that this woman was completely fascinated by Lin Tian.

She is so obsessed with him that she is willing to remain a virgin for him!

It's simply a myth!

For example, Spike and Dolan are both insiders.

But now Hilton said that if the Knicks win, he doesn't want Lin Tian to accompany him? What's this?
The two men were extremely curious and pricked up their ears to hear Hilton's plan.

Hilton didn't hide it.

Instead, he pursed his lips and pouted towards the seat opposite him, signaling everyone to look over there.

Then Lin Tian saw three girls.

Two of them look exactly the same. The other one is slightly younger, but has grown up. Although his eyes are not big, his slightly squinting expression carries a charm and allure.

Who else could it be but the Olsen sisters?

Lin Tian recalled carefully, and it seemed that since that night, the three Olsen sisters had never appeared in front of him at the same time again.

Usually there was only one, and occasionally a big one with a small one, but it seemed to be the first time since then that all three of them were in the same frame.

"Is this true?" Dolan's eyes widened.

"Impossible." Spike's face was also full of distrust.

"What's impossible?" Hilton curled his lips and said with a look of surprise: "You men don't understand Lin's charm."

"Yes, yes, I don't want to understand in this lifetime." Dolan shuddered, then looked at Lin Tian and Hilton, and couldn't help asking: "Which one did you deal with? The big one or the small one?"

"Lin is a law-abiding man. The youngest one is only 15 or 16." Spike said, "I guess it's the boss!"

"I guess it's the second one." Dolan snorted, then looked at Hilton with a look of thirst for knowledge.

"The two who look the most similar." Hilton sold Lin Tian without hesitation.

"Can you please stop talking about this in front of me?" Lin Tian couldn't stand it anymore. Who would talk about this in front of someone like this?

"Then could you please stop bringing women to my hotel? Can't you take them somewhere else? Is there only one hotel in New York?" Hilton snorted in dissatisfaction, then suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Lin Tian.

"Or is this more exciting?"

"I don't want to bother with you three hooligans." Lin Tian decisively turned around and went to practice shooting, no longer wasting time talking to these three people.

"Is this a real Pascal or a fake one? Two of them?" Dolan still didn't believe it.

It’s not like he hasn’t slept with twins before; he’s even tried sleeping with super beautiful triplets.

But he had never tried this kind of thing, with a top American star and beautiful twin girls who were the first generation of a billionaire.

You can't get a girl like this with money.

By charm?
Dolan knows that he is very charming, even one of the most charming people in New York, but 99% of his charm comes from his money. Without money, he has zero charm.

So he couldn't understand how Lin Tian did it? (End of this chapter)
