NBA: Start by torturing Jordan and add points to upgrade

"Let's remember this night! Remember it forever! All the friends who watched this game can brag to the people around you 20 years later: I have seen the greatest super comeback in NBA history!"

"125:123! Remember this number! It will become part of history!" Barkley's excitement continued and his tone was still extremely high.

"Okay, Charles, okay." Kenny said with a smile, "Let's take a look at everyone's statistics tonight!"

“尼克斯队这边，休斯顿拿到8分2篮板1助攻1抢断，奥库7分6篮板1盖帽，小斯14分8篮板1盖帽，安东尼14分5篮板4助攻，史密斯5分5篮板2盖帽，莫宁2分6篮板3盖帽1抢断。”

"The role players of the Knicks have all tried their best tonight! Okur and Mourning were both fouled out. They used up their last bullet and did everything they could! It was their efforts that gave Lin Tian the last crazy chance!"

“今晚林第一节5投3中拿到6分，第二节16投11中，3分球5投3中，罚球2罚2中，爆砍27分，第三节他9投3中，3分球2投0中，罚球2罚全中，拿到8分。”

“然后，就是最疯狂的第四节！这一节比赛林15投10中，3分13投9中，罚球5罚5中，单节爆砍34分！”

“整个晚上，林疯狂的出手了45次！并且命中了其中的27球！命中率高达60%！并且他3分线外21投12中，光是第四节就命中了9个3分球！以及他9罚9中的罚球。”

"Tonight, Lin Tian used an extremely efficient and crazy personal performance to prove that he is still the omnipotent superstar! He doesn't care what tricks you have or what methods you will use, he just wants to win!"

"Remember Lin's final stats tonight! 75 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals!"

"70 points triple-double! A crazy night. Tonight, Lin is God! He is God!"

"He deserves all the praise. His arrogance and contempt for others in the past have proven time and again that he really has the ability!"

"And most importantly, tonight, Lin once again let his fans know what it means to create miracles, what it means to make the impossible possible, and what it means to be the best player in the league!"

"Let us give Lin another round of applause!"

"The Knicks' performance is indisputable, but we still have to praise the Lakers tonight. They played very well tonight and they almost won! If Lin hadn't been too crazy, if O'Neal hadn't missed the free throw at the last moment, the victory tonight would most likely belong to the Lakers!"

“奥尼尔今晚轰下38分23个篮板5次盖帽的数据，科比也有37分9篮板7助攻的全能表现，普林斯14分，基里连科16分，费舍尔12分！”

"Their top five starters combined to score 117 points. They almost accounted for all of the team's points! The performance of the top five starters was impeccable."

"But their substitutes gave them too little help! The Lakers' bench was completely invisible tonight. Whether it was the experienced veterans or the youngsters who had performed amazingly in previous games, they all played quite badly."

"The Lakers relied almost exclusively on their top five starters. Except for Kirilenko who left the game early, the other four players all played for more than 40 minutes! Kobe and O'Neal played for as much as 45 minutes each! I think the excessive playing time was one of the reasons why O'Neal missed the free throw in the final moments."

“He’s so tired!”

"But Jackson really had no choice. He didn't have enough personnel reserves, and he couldn't put O'Neal off the court to rest."

"I can only say that the best Lakers met the better Knicks! There was really no way they could lose. They made almost no mistakes, but they still lost."

"This is basketball! This is competitive sports! This is the charm of the NBA!"

The two commentators continued to make rapid summaries, but at this time in a box at Staples Center, Stern's expression was quite indescribable.

He seemed to be laughing, but he couldn't laugh at all. He seemed happy, but he was obviously quite unhappy.

As for the reason for this tangle?
At the last minute of tonight, the total number of fans watching this NBA game exceeded 6000 million!
The first time in history!
This is the first time in the entire history of North American sports! Before this, no matter whether it was the Super Bowl, the World Series of Baseball, or even the World Cup final, there had never been such a crazy number of viewers.

There is no doubt that Stern succeeded in making this game a phenomenal one, a super achievement that will stand out in the entire history of North American sports.

That’s it, and it only counts viewers in North America!
If we add in fans from Africa, Europe, South America and especially Asia, this number would probably at least double!
This year's NBA finals are truly global!

This is Stern's happy place.

But what made him unhappy was that the Lakers still lost.

Series, 0:3!
This means that tonight’s madness will most likely be the last one this year or even for many years to come.

If the series is 2:1, then the next game will definitely be watched by a lot of people! Even more people will watch it.

But 3:0?

Stern was quite pessimistic about the ratings for the next game. He was even prepared for the number of viewers to be cut in half or even twice in a row.

No one likes to watch a one-sided series, no one likes to watch a sweep.

Therefore, the focus of the next game is not even how the two sides can play or what level they can achieve.

No matter how well the two teams play in the next game, with a big score of 3:0, no more people will go to watch the game.

unless……

Let the referee take action again so that the two teams can tie at 3:3?

Stern just thought about it for a moment and couldn't help shivering.

He could withstand the pressure and was not afraid of public opinion when a game was played like this, but tonight the game was played so extremely that the Knicks still made a 30-point comeback.

If you do this again in the next game, God and people will be angry!

If this continues, Stern is worried that his office building will be bombed by missiles from angry New York fans.

After all, your NBA headquarters is in New York, so it is quite convenient for local people to take action!

It is worth mentioning that at the press conference after the game, the Knicks did not cancel the entertainment program prepared for halftime.

"Their referees are shit! My grandma, sitting in a wheelchair with her eyes closed and her back to the court, can referee better than them! Tonight's referees will become a joke, and like this game, will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!" The first to open fire was Anthony, who had the most impatient temper.

Then Stoudemire immediately followed up: "The referee ruined the game, and they almost ruined our winning streak! Let me put it this way, I have been playing basketball since elementary school, but in all these years, I have never seen such a shameless whistle! I even wonder if someone on our team offended the referee."

“That’s why we were targeted!”

"But seriously, if someone really offended the referee, I hope it was the referee's wife who slept with him, and their daughter as well! FUXX! These damn bastards deserve this! This is what they deserve."

After the two disciples spoke, old Nelson said calmly: "I have prepared a lot of checks. This money will definitely be turned into fines and paid to the league, but what I want to say is that if the referees are short of money, they can tell me directly."

"I could have just handed it over to the referee department and satisfied their desires. They could have just told us what they wanted! Instead of embarrassing us with such a dirty and filthy way of whistling, and making us spend a nightmare night!"

"We New Yorkers won't save a penny on what we have to spend! So, next time, just call me directly!"

After the three people finished speaking, everyone looked at Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting in the middle among the three people.

Lin Tian did not disappoint everyone. He cleared his throat, coughed, and said, "They ruined this originally wonderful night. They ruined all my plans for tonight! I could have been very happy tonight and could have happily won a victory."

"But right now I'm in a really bad mood, I feel like I've been betrayed by the world, and I spent half of the night thinking, OK, I'm wondering if what Amare said is true, and I'm wondering if I really did accidentally touch someone I shouldn't have."

"I don't know if you have ever had such self-doubt, but anyway, my entire worldview was torn apart tonight. I suffered a huge blow. My current plan is to make an appointment with a psychologist immediately and have a good talk with him."

"I hope this isn't a permanent effect, and I hope it doesn't leave me with any irreversible trauma."

"That's all I have to say. I feel terrible."

"A 30-point comeback can't make you happy, Lin? A 70+ triple-double and the biggest comeback in history, can't these make you happy?"

"It's not about the reversal or the statistics. I'm just very sad. If you ask me, I think if there is such an outrageous whistle next time, I will definitely retire directly."

"Since the referees don't want me to win the championship, since the referees want me to lose, then I won't play. I'll leave the league, maybe that will make everyone happy."

Lin Tian sighed as he spoke, then lowered his head, looking sad. And then?
Then he couldn't help laughing.

I really can't hold it in.

But Lin Tian's smile obviously did not stop the reporters' enthusiasm.

The speeches of these four speakers tonight were really explosive!

Two of them directly swore at each other, one explicitly stated that the alliance accepted bribes, and the last one threatened to retire.

It's all money! For journalists, it's all big money and hot traffic!

Today is indeed a good day!

At almost the same time, at the press conference of the Lakers next door, the atmosphere was far less enthusiastic than that of the Knicks next door.

This is of course, no one can laugh when they are 3:0 behind, and no one can act calmly at this time.

The OK combination and Jackson sat on the bench. None of the three were in high spirits. After answering several questions rather perfunctorily, they were about to leave when a reporter stood up again, meaning to ask one last question.

"Have you given up? Do you think this series is over?"

This question caused a moment of silence.

Because how do I say it?

Everyone has guessed the result of the series. Can you still turn the tables with a score of 0:3?

If you could have turned the tables, you wouldn't have been beaten 0:3, right?

Although everyone guessed it, no one asked this question tonight.

In addition to the fact that this is Los Angeles' home court and many reporters on the scene are locals, everyone knows the answer and no reporter wants to ask these nonsense questions.

In particular, after asking this question, there is a high probability that Kobe, O'Neal and others will be extremely angry, just like rubbing salt into someone's wounds.

No one wants to do this kind of thing. After all, you still have to live in Los Angeles in the future, right?

Everyone knows it!
But now, as the press conference is about to end, someone finally asked the question.

"Of course we didn't give up." Kobe answered without hesitation: "The game is not over yet, why should we give up? We still have two home courts. As long as we defend our home court, the suspense of the series will still be there!"

"Did the Knicks give up when they were 30 points behind? No!"

"Then we are only 0:3, why should we give up?"

"In the three games, we lost only by a tiny amount, the difference was within a hair's breadth. Are we really that far behind the Knicks?"

"Are we really no match for the Knicks? Are we really going to be swept by them?"

"Obviously not! We just lacked a little luck. Our ability to grasp the key moments is not as good as the Knicks'."

"What if we get lucky in the next four games? What if we win four games in a row? The Knicks can turn around 4 points in a single game, so why can't we win four games in a row?"

"Next, we will squeeze out all our potential, we will give 120% of our energy, we will give everything, just to win the game! This series will definitely not end like this!"

"This series has just begun! For us, for the championship, and for the glory of Los Angeles! We will not give up!"

"What if the series is just over, what if you guys just get swept?"

"That proves that I'm still terrible. I'll just go back and continue training!"

“Win it back next year.”

After saying this, Kobe did not give reporters a chance to ask questions. Instead, he stood up and left the scene directly.

He was obviously in a terrible mood.

Although Kobe is gone, O'Neal hasn't left yet. The big guy is still sitting there, and no one knows what he is thinking.

The reporter at the scene immediately seized the opportunity and asked O'Neal again: "Shaq, do you agree with what Kobe said? Do you think you can turn the tide?"

"I don't know." O'Neal's answer was more pragmatic, but his next words also made reporters feel an indescribable taste: "But I hope we can win back. I hope we can win."

"This is our last chance. Everyone knows what I'm saying. This is our last chance! I've played for the Lakers for 10 years. I love this place. I love Los Angeles. I can also say with confidence that I tried my best. I really tried my best here."

"But, but...but my Lakers career, or my entire career, was a failure."

"I didn't win even one championship, I didn't win even one finals, I'm disappointed."

"The last thing I want to say is, I don't know if we can win four games in a row, I don't know if we can win the series, I don't even dare to say if we can win the fourth game of the series."

"I can only say that I will go all out. I will do as Kobe said, give it everything I can, and try my best to win Game 4 first!"

"I don't want the next game to be my last game in my Lakers career!"

After O'Neal finished speaking, he also stood up and followed Kobe and left the press conference.

This time, the reporters in the audience were really stunned.

Although rumors of the Lakers breaking up have been circulating for a whole year, this is the first time that the person involved has said it.

Being able to say such things at this time actually proves one thing.

They were really beaten by Lin Tian to the point of despair.

Even after a 30-point lead was reversed, what else do the Lakers have to do to win?
"Me too. I don't want the next game to be my last with the Lakers." Jackson, the last one still sitting in his seat, pursed his lips rarely. He was not as carefree and relaxed as before, nor as indifferent and casual as before.

He looked down at the microphone in front of him, as if it was the lovely Jenny Buss, then he nodded, said nothing more, stood up and left the scene.

Among the three most important people on the Lakers, two made statements that were almost like declarations of leaving the team. Now, they are truly pushed to the edge of the cliff.

This also explains the current situation of the Lakers.

They're being pushed to the brink in more than just this series.

This lineup, this team building, has been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

The Lakers are likely to disintegrate and rebuild at any time!

In other words, as long as they fail to win the next four games in a row and come back to win the championship, they will definitely be completely disbanded!

This team may not have even one player who is not for sale, except Kobe who is in his prime.

I'm afraid all the others will face the possibility of being sold by the team.

This team has persisted for 10 years, has been fighting against Lin since the new century, and has tried its best to win a championship. It has truly made it to the end.

As for the current Lakers team, they are really fighting for glory now! (End of this chapter)
